At the end of February, there was still a hint of chill, but spring had arrived, and the thick clothes on her body slowly began to change.
Xu Wu entered the inner courtyard with an ugly expression, and said to Yuxi: "Madam, just got the news that the Northern Captive Army is only three hundred miles away from Yucheng. In less than three days, the Northern Captive Army arrived under Yucheng."
Yuxi asked: "What's going on? The information I got before is wrong?" The day before yesterday, Yuxi also heard Xu Wu saying that the army of 250,000 from the North was preparing to attack Yucheng.
Xu Wu said with a heavy face: "The people we have planted in the northern captivity should be rebellious." That person rebelled and deliberately passed false news to them.
Yuxi calculated it, and said, "The recruits who are expropriated will be in Yucheng in these two days. Even if they have a 250,000 army, don't worry too much."
Xu Wu said, "Madam, you clean up, and you will leave Yucheng for Lanzhou tonight." In this way, if there is any accident, the wife and the children will be fine.
Yuxi felt that it was not right, and said, "What's the matter? Although the enemy has 250,000 troops, but we add 50,000 new recruits, plus the original 40,000 horses, how can we resist it? Half a month. I believe that in half a month, the general should be able to rush back."
Xu Wu smiled bitterly: "This time the Marshal of the Northern Captive Army is Battelle. Battelle is here prepared, and there is bound to be a fierce battle in Yucheng. Both my foster father and I think it is better for my wife to rush to Lanzhou City as soon as possible."
Yuxi naturally knows who Battelle is. That is the three princes of the North Captive. This man is brave and good at fighting, killing people like hell, and his reputation is as good as Yun Qing: "I told you a long time ago that if I took the child away, I would definitely It will shake the military's mind. And, even if Barthes is good at fighting? We have 90,000 people, and we can definitely resist it for half a month."
In front of Yuxi, Xu Wu is not afraid to tell the truth: "All recruits are expropriated this time. I am worried that we can't resist it for half a month."
Yuxi said coldly: "If you can't keep it, you have to keep it. You can't make Yucheng a second Tongcheng." Seeing Xu Wu still wanting to speak, Yuxi waved his hand and said, "You don't have to persuade, I won't leave Yucheng. From the city, I also believe that the general will definitely be able to come back and forth in time for assistance."
Xu Wu guessed the result early: "Okay, I'll talk to my foster father."
Yuxi stopped Xu Wu and said, "I will write a letter to Xu Chong, and you will have someone bring the letter to him." Xu Chong is the prefect of Xinping City, and one of them.
Xu Wu nodded and said, "Okay."
After receiving the letter, Xu Wu said: "Madam, whether you let the eldest girl and the second girl leave Xinping City, it is always unsafe here."
Yuxi thought for a while and shook his head and said, "No." Now the army is in turmoil, and Yucheng also hides a lot of meticulous work. It is even more unsafe for the child to leave Yucheng.
Xu Wu took the letter and left the inner courtyard.
Standing in front of the desk, Yuxi let out a long sigh. What Yun Qing was worried about finally happened, and now they are really suffering from the enemy, and only after they have overcome this difficulty can they be considered truly successful.
Out of the study, Yuxi went to the penthouse to visit Zaozao and Liuer. The girl Zaozao couldn't bear to be quiet, and Yuxi was playing the rattle in her hand when she came in, making a noise. And Liuer, nestled in Mother Lan's arms, remained motionless, but his eyes fell on Yuxi's body.
Mother Lan hugged Liu'er and said with a smile: "Every time the lady comes over, the eldest girl and the second girl are very happy."
Yuxi stayed with the two children in the penthouse for a short while, then put down the jujube sticking to her, and said, "Mother is busy, you listen to Mother Lan at home, you know?" The two children living in the penthouse are too crowded. But Zaozao didn't want to move out since living with Liuer. Yuxi thought that it would be a good thing for the two sisters to be willing to get close, so he obeyed her.
After returning to the bedroom, Yuxi said to Licorice, "Go to the kitchen and ask mother to come to the bedroom." Grandma is in the kitchen cooking Yuxi's medicinal meal.
Entering the bedroom, looking at Yuxi's complexion, Grandma's heart suddenly feels bad: "Did something happen?" Don't be Yun Qing.
Yuxi said about the army of the Northern Captives about to attack the city: "Mother, the commander of the Northern Captives this time is the third prince Battelle of the Northern Captive Court. This person is extremely bloodthirsty." The bloodthirsty is second, this person. He also likes to eat human flesh. He is very abnormal. Many people are frightened when he hears him. As for why this person was allowed to lead the army this time, Yuxi also doesn't know.
Mother Quan looked at Yuxi and said, "You are not going to leave, do you want me to leave with Liuer? But Liuer's body is too weak and she can't bear to leave her in a hurry."
Yuxi shook his head and said, "Zaozao and Liuer will stay in Yucheng to wait for the general with me. Mother, I will send you to Lanzhou City. Wait for me in Lanzhou City!" Qin Zhao asked Xu's family to take With the children fleeing Yucheng, the other generals also took their families away from Yucheng. In fact, the soldiers below have lost their confidence. Fortunately, Yun Qing burned their grain and grass at the time, otherwise, how could he persist until the end.
The grandmother smiled and said, "I'm all this old, and I have a few years to live. You are not afraid, I have something to be afraid of. Do what you want, Zazao and Liuer. I'll take care of it for you." She came to Yucheng this time, she was a little selfish. Now there are rebellions everywhere, and there will definitely be wars everywhere in the future, and their family will not have a stable life no matter where they are. It just so happened that Yun Qing also launched a conspiracy, and the prospects are good. She thought that if Yun Qing succeeded, she would become the master of the Northwest. She came over to Yuxi, and the family would not have to worry about being frightened. Furthermore, she could find a future for her two grandnephews.
Yuxi nodded and said, "Okay. I will leave the jujube and Liuer to the mother. I will leave the red beans and red sage roots. If anything happens, they can protect you and your child."
Grandma felt that it was not appropriate, and said, "You should take these two maids! I and my child should be fine in the inner courtyard."
Yuxi smiled and said, "There is someone by my side to protect me, mother don't worry."
When he arrived at the front yard, Yuxi took Master Yang and Xu Wu to the underside of the city wall. A lot of sheds were built in rows less than 100 meters from the city wall. Some of these sheds are for cooking, some are for the wounded, and some are for soldiers to rest. If it rains, these sheds can save a lot of things.
At this time, no one is idle in the shack. Some carry firewood, and some carry soju and medicinal gauze. Everyone bowed their heads to do things, and no one was talking and chatting over there.
Yuxi said, "Do these people know that the Northern Captives are coming?" I always felt that the atmosphere was a bit solemn, and Yuxi had to doubt that they already knew that the Northern Captives were coming.
Xu Wu nodded and said, "I haven't concealed this matter."
While talking, the master hurried over and said: "Boss, the boss is not good. General Fu suddenly passed out, I don't know what's going on?"
Xu Wu's face turned pale, and the main general was out of control before he even started. Originally he was not sure about this battle, but now he feels even more unsure.
Yuxi didn't ask Fu Tianlei what was going on, only said: "Xu Wu, go to Zhao Mansion and ask General Zhao to be the chief general of Yucheng." In terms of seniority, there is nothing more appropriate than General Zhao.
Xu Wu hesitated.
Yuxi said: "The general told me before he left that if there is any accident, he should go to General Zhao." General Zhao has guarded Yucheng for more than 20 years and will not watch Yucheng being attacked by the northern captives.
Xu Wu nodded and said, "Madam, I will send you back to Zhao Mansion first!" Madam's safety is the top priority.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "You don't need to send it, there will be nothing wrong with them." Yuxi came over this time to see if there were any mistakes. If it is found, it can be resolved as soon as possible.
Seeing Xu Wu hesitated, Master Yang said, "Don't worry, I will not let people get close to his wife." This time Yuxi went out and let Master Yang follow him close. Of course, besides that, there are many guards.
Half an hour later, Yuxi returned to the Yun Mansion, called Xu Daniu, and asked, "What's the matter with General Fu?" Suddenly he fell into a coma, and was 100% conspired.
Xu Daniu said: "General Fu was poisoned, and the food was poisoned." Seeing Yuxi's doubts, Xu Daniu said: "It is the cook who poisoned him, and that cook is the fine work of Beiyu. The cook, I have been in Fu's house for more than 20 years."
Yuxi's hair was terrified, and Fu Tianlei couldn't really be blamed. Who could have expected that the cook who had been a poor cook in Fu's family for more than 20 years turned out to be Bei Jiao's meticulous work: "How is General Fu now?"
Xu Daniu shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific situation." The only thing that is certain is that Fu Tianlei can't lead troops. At this juncture, the Lord will fall, which really shakes the military's mind.
Yuxi said: "Don't worry, I have already asked Xu Wu to invite General Zhao. With General Zhao here, there shouldn't be any trouble. However, this meticulous work is too rampant." Several batches have been caught, but These people are like bamboo shoots after the rain.
Xu Daniu said: "The old man has already gone to Fu's house, I believe there will be gains. Madam, now in the situation in Yucheng, you should take the eldest girl and the second girl to go!" Xu Daniu felt that this war must be better than two years ago. It's even more tragic.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I believe the general will be able to rush back in time." Xu Wu and Xu Daniu were not confident, making Yuxi feel a little nervous. However, she never thought of leaving Yucheng.
Xu Daniu didn't persuade him anymore.
Half an hour later, Xu Wu came back: "Madam, the matter has been settled." He originally thought it would take some time to speak. After all, it was their general who resigned from General Zhao, but he did not expect General Zhao to know about him. After arriving, he agreed without hesitation.
Yuxi nodded lightly and said, "That's good. But you must protect General Zhao, and don't let the fine work take advantage of the loopholes." These fine works are really pervasive.
Thinking of this, Yuxi said hurriedly: "Don't let the rumors that have been mixed into the barracks make trouble, and shake the military's mind." This time, the North Abductees are bound to win Yucheng, otherwise they won't be used for more than 20 years of lurking. Fine work.
Xu Wu nodded and said, "Madam, don't worry, you will never let this happen."
