Chapter 648 Going to war with his fiancée
Wang Yue looked at the serious look of the emperor, and remembered that in the Qingyu years, when Emperor Qing wanted to attack Northern Qi, but lacked an excuse, he asked Chen Pingping and the others the same way. This is Waiting for him to cooperate with Ling Buyi.
Wang Yue thought for a moment and understood what Emperor Wen wanted to do. He was worried that something might go wrong in the arranged plan, so he wanted to send someone to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger.
Wang Yue wanted to understand, and under the gaze of Emperor Wen, he gave his own advice decisively, "You can send a general to lead more than ten thousand cavalry to Feng Zhen County day and night. No matter whether King Yong wants to rebel or not, only the crown prince can do it." If you leave the capital without any reason, you can be held accountable."
The emperor felt that this excuse was feasible and was very satisfied with Wang Yue's cooperation. However, his expression felt very embarrassed. He hesitated for a while, then frowned and asked, "Who are you sending? Are you going?"
Wang Yue rolled his eyes, keeping Ling Buyi by his side, but looked at him and asked, does he still have a choice? Why not just tell him to go?
However, Wang Yue immediately understood why Emperor Wen was waiting for him to take the initiative. After all, Wang Yue was planning to get married when he returned to Beijing this time. If Emperor Wen ordered Wang Yue to go on an expedition at this time, it would be difficult for the Queen to explain.
After Wang Yue figured it out, he secretly complained that the emperor was not a good person. He completely forgot that he was once an emperor. He just gave a helpless salute and said, "I am willing to go!" The emperor was very satisfied with Wang Yue's understanding,
but Still pretending, he said with some embarrassment, "But you are going to get married soon? Isn't it too late?"
Wang Yue gritted his teeth and wanted to curse a few words, but his current strength did not allow it. Ah, he could only pretend to be complacent and said in a deep voice, "No delay! You are so stupid, I will succeed immediately!" The emperor was stunned for a moment, he did not see that
Wang Yue was gritting his teeth. , just thinking that Wang Yue was expressing his solemnity, he did not expect Wang Yue to be so domineering when he was cautious, so he became more relieved about the possible war, and reluctantly agreed to Wang Yue's request to go to Feng Yujun.
Ling Buyi and Wang Yue sat kneeling together. Of course he could see Wang Yue's expression. He felt a little sorry for Wang Yue. He was originally planning to do this job, but he didn't expect that Emperor Wen would leave it to Wang Yue in the end. .
Ling Buyi owed Wang Yue a lot of favors, and wanted to repay Wang Yue. After careful consideration, he felt that it would be easy for Wang Yue to go to fight, and it would definitely take a long time to appease him, so he quickly said, "After all, King Yong has not raised an army at the moment. In the end, It's better to take the girl who is familiar with He Zhaojun. If things change, it can be said that the few sisters miss He Zhaojun very much after not seeing him for many days. General Wang is worried about his safety and escorts him specially. In case General Wang arrives, King Yong will not He didn't protest, but he lost his dignity
by holding Prince Xiao to account." The emperor nodded, feeling that his godson was right and not as reckless as Wang Yue, so he immediately said with a smile, "What Zi Sheng said makes sense, but Which girl is more appropriate to send?"
Wang Yue was dumbfounded. The emperor did not hide his favoritism. After all, he was also the nephew of the queen and the emperor's nephew. How could he be like this? Is the difference between him and his godson that big?
Ling Buyi originally wanted Wang Yue to say it himself, but after waiting for a long time, Wang Yue didn't say a word. He thought Wang Yue was embarrassed to speak on his own, so he immediately took the initiative and said, "I heard that General Wang's cousin Wang Ling and his Cheng Shaoshang, my fiancée, had learned archery and horse riding with General Wang, and they both had a relationship with He Zhaojun, so the two of them could accompany them. Just to ensure the safety of the two women, I suggested that General Wang bring all the troops of his headquarters. Let's go."
The emperor simply followed Ling Buyi's words blindly. After listening to Ling Buyi's words, he immediately nodded and said, "Shan, Wang Yue, just take the two little girls with you. If King Yong doesn't rebel, you can forget it. It’s my fiancée who wants to come and play for a few days. If she doesn’t agree, I will reward the two little girls when they come back.”
Wang Yue twitched the corner of his mouth. If it were him, he would definitely bring his soldiers and horses into Feng Zhen County together, but he brought Young Master Cheng with him. Shang and Wang Ling, he must divide his troops to protect them. He was speechless at this lame reason. He felt that this was Ling Buyi's revenge for stealing his love, but he had no evidence.
Wang Yue glanced at Ling Buyi and felt that he should take this guy too. After all, if King Yong had other henchmen, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to cope with it, and he didn't want to lose too many soldiers and horses, so he pretended that he was very powerful. He said feebly, "Your Majesty, King Yong is a veteran general for many years. He has many soldiers and horses under his command, and he is waiting for work. If he really wants to rebel, if my own soldiers and horses are gone, I'm afraid it will be like a meat bun beating a dog!" The emperor was stunned for a moment
. Knowing that King Yong was brave, he had already put his surrounding cronies on guard and asked Wang Yue to fight King Yong instead of Ling Buyi. In fact, he was afraid that one of these cronies had already voted for King Yong and would put Ling Buyi in danger. He He made this decision because he felt that Wang Yue was more tactful and could always ensure his own safety, unlike Ling Buyi, who always disregarded life and death.
But Emperor Wen didn't understand Wang Yue's words for a while, so he asked in confusion, "What are meat buns? Why do you want to beat a dog?"
Wang Yue had a black line on his forehead, and he looked at it depressedly as he wondered whether he could still have a good conversation. Taking a look at Ling Buyi, he found that he was looking at him with wide eyes, as if he didn't know, so he said helplessly, "Baozi is just mince the meat, add seasonings, and wrap it in pancakes." , steamed food, meat buns to beat dogs means that if you throw it out, you can't come back."
The emperor suddenly realized that he didn't believe that Wang Yue would make him unable to come back. He was more interested in what Wang Yue said about eating. I was about to send Wang Yue away. I felt like letting the imperial kitchen try it out, so he quickly said, "You go first. I will ask Zi Sheng to follow with the tiger charm. If necessary, we can mobilize troops from surrounding counties." Wang Yue looked at the emperor
. With his mind set, he could only accept the order and leave, but he kept murmuring the emperor's thoughts in his heart. Was it because he seemed to be wasting one or two of his strength because of his strong troops and horses?
After all, even if the soldiers are replenished in the future, they will not be as good as the original veterans of many battles. Moreover, there will be basically no battles to fight in the future, and there will be no place to train troops.
However, Wang Yue also had his own plan. He could just use the war to continue sending loyal men to his city.
You must know that his food town in Dongmou can be as large as a county. It is because of the sparse population that it is used as the food town of the rural lord.
As for the safety of Cheng Shaoshang and Wang Ling, this is much simpler. If the war in Feng Zhen County is found to be dangerous, just stay at Hangu Pass and take over after the war is over.
When Wang Ling and Cheng Shaoshang heard Wang Yue's plan, they had nothing to worry about. Instead, the two women were very happy to leave Kyoto together. It was really frustrating to have to follow the rules here.
So when Cheng Shaoshang, who was dressed in military uniform, was preparing to set off with Wang Yue's army, everyone in the Cheng family came to say goodbye. The look of reluctance to leave made Wang Ling jealous.
Wang Ling watched this scene, then he walked up to Wang Yue, looked around, and asked unwillingly, "Where are my father and brother?"
Wang Yue looked at his poor cousin, He didn't go to comfort him, and said very depressedly, "Don't think about it, you must have gone away happily. I told you, I am the only cousin in the entire Wang family who still remembers you. If you marry Ling Buyi in the future, Don't forget my benefits."
Of course Wang Ling knew that Wang Yue was saying that Mr. Wen Xiu didn't care about her, but what could she do? After she moved into Wang Yue's house, only at the beginning, Wen Xiu Jun also sent someone to go there, but Wang Yue refused because he needed his cousin to entertain the female relatives at home, and he never asked again.
After Cheng Shaoshang and others said goodbye to everyone in the Cheng family, they came on horseback. They didn't notice anything strange about Wang Ling, so they proudly said to Wang Yue, "A Yue, let me tell you, my father and brother said that if you If you don't protect me well, they will tear down your Dongmuhou Mansion."
Wang Yue looked at Cheng Shaoshang's triumphant look and the pitiful look of the left-behind child, while he lamented the child's desire for a family. , as long as there is a little love, I will be very satisfied, and he quickly promised, "By the time you are injured, I will be dead. If you want to do anything with that house, then your father and brother can demolish it as long as you want." Cheng Shaoshang was still very serious at first
. Happy, she was a little panicked after hearing this. She had been informed by Eminem last night that Wang Yue went deep into Feng Zhen County alone this time because he suspected that King Yong was planning to rebel, so she was told to listen to Wang Yue and take good care of herself.
Cheng Shaoshang was still dubious at first, but after hearing what Wang Yue said, she really believed it and asked with some worry, "We are going to Feng Yu County this time. We only have more than 10,000 soldiers. Isn't that too few?" Wang
Yue I didn’t expect Cheng Shaoshang to know this. It was probably her mother who said that generally speaking, out of the 30,000 to 40,000 people he traveled on this trip, he should only have 10,000 soldiers, but in fact, he had no auxiliary troops. , which is why the emperor just asked him to go head-to-head with King Yong.
Wang Yue was afraid that Cheng Shaoshang would be worried, so he quickly comforted him and said, "When we go this time, I have found someone who is familiar with the terrain to lead the way. We will definitely be able to decide in a battle." Wang Ling didn't know when Wang Yue found someone
. But he immediately thought that Wang Yue was familiar with the Lou family, and Lou Ben was wandering around, so he asked doubtfully, "Brother, are you talking about Lou Ben, Mr. Lou?" Wang Yue saw that Wang Ling had already understood, and clicked
. Nodding, he said to Cheng Shaoshang, "Let's go quickly, Lou Ben is waiting not far ahead." Cheng Shaoshang and Wang
Ling didn't say anything more, and they felt more at ease. After all, in this era of war, They were afraid of being ambushed due to unfamiliar terrain, but now that they were prepared, they had nothing to fear. The two women did not ride in a carriage, but followed Wang Yue forward on horseback.
After Wang Yue's army left Kyoto and marched twenty miles to the west, they saw two people riding two horses on the official road. Wang Yue rode his horse forward and walked to the front of the team. He did not expect Lou Ben to be so grand. He didn't take any of his servants with him, so he looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "Brother Lou, didn't your brother go to the noble uncle's place? Why did he appear here?" Lou Ben saw Wang Yue's appreciation and smiled at him
. Wang Yue said, "I still think my brother has a better reason to find his fiancée."
Wang Yue heard Xuan's song and knew the elegant meaning. Now the people who decide the second house of the Lou family are not in Kyoto. Even if General He wants to break off the engagement at this time, he can pretend to I don't know, but he was very satisfied with this arrangement. It was much better than the little girl looking for friends, so he nodded and said, "You want to say, even if King Yong doesn't rebel, I can lead the troops to confront King Yong because of this. After all, it can be regarded as a famous division. Can we still let King Yong come to Beijing to be the turtle in the urn?"
When Lou Ben saw that Wang Yue agreed with his plan, he immediately said bluntly, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from General Wang. Then King Yong must have counter-intentions, otherwise he wouldn't have given Fan Chang's tribe so many ordnances. The Holy Emperor must also know very well that if Isn't it a good thing to be able to allow King Yong to come to Beijing and relieve His Majesty from worries?" Wang Yue rolled his eyes at Lou Ben and
said speechlessly, "If this is really the case, it will help you and Your Majesty. Unfortunately, I will be punished."
Lou Ben seemed to have planned for Wang Yue a long time ago, and said without taking it seriously, "General Wang should take this opportunity to reduce the number of reliable troops and horses in his hands and send them back to the city, so that he can serve as his own Isn't it a matter of killing two birds with one stone to lay the foundation for the future so that Your Majesty won't have to worry about it?"
Wang Yue was speechless. This man was too smart. He didn't beat around the bush and said in a deep voice, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Lou and your brother and me. I will leave five thousand cavalry together and rush to Feng Zhen County first. The infantry and baggage under my command will march slowly according to the established route. What do you think?" Lou Ben also knew that the matter was urgent, so he did not postpone it, and he agreed with Wang Yue's opinion
. , he felt that he and his younger brother were both proficient with bows and horses, and had some means to save their lives on the battlefield, so they acted very generously.
He casually asked Wang Yue for two pieces of armor, and then he took Lou Yao and Wang Yue to Feng Yu County at high speed. The remaining soldiers and horses, led by Ji Feng Ji Yu, escorted Cheng Shaoshang and Wang Ling to Hangu Pass.
If King Yong of Feng Yu County really rebels, the most likely possibility is to go out of Feng Yu County to seize Hangu Pass and guard this important road. That means you can advance, attack or retreat. Of course, if the Yong Wang did not rebel, some embarrassment could be saved, and the infantry could also save some travel.
After making arrangements, Wang Yue and his five thousand cavalry traveled day and night, taking a detour and quickly arrived at Feng Zhen County. When they were still more than thirty miles away from Feng Zhen City, they saw the sound of killing on the official road ahead. Looking from a distance, both sides The flag is the words Yong and He.
Wang Yue looked at the He Zi soldiers and horses being chased, and said helplessly to Lou Ben, "It seems that we came at the right time. King Yong may have really rebelled. I left a group of cavalry to protect you. Look. From now on, there will be a fierce battle."
Lou Ben shook his head and said resolutely, "Brother Wang said that wealth can be obtained through danger. I think it makes sense. Moreover, this is Feng Zhen County. I can't be seen outside. Besides, I am skilled in bow and horse. No worse than ordinary generals."
Wang Yue twitched the corner of his mouth and was speechless. The master's skill with bow and horse in the Six Arts and the skill with bow and horse on the battlefield are two different concepts. They are equivalent to setting a fixed target at a fixed point and moving people. Shooting at a moving target, there's a long way to go.
Wang Yue signaled his bodyguards to use himself as an arrow to protect Lou Ben and Lou Yao in the center, and rushed towards the Feng Yujun soldiers who were chasing outside Feng Yujun's city. With just one charge, they easily chased and killed Feng Yujun outside. The more than ten soldiers and horses were killed and scattered.
The captain among the rescued soldiers and horses was covered in blood. He looked at Wang Yue's battle flag, quickly got on and off his horse, saluted Wang Yue, and said anxiously, "This is the rear general Wang Yue." ? Thank you General for saving your life."
Wang Yue waved his hand, not wanting to be polite anymore, and quickly asked, "Get up and talk, tell me about the situation in the city?"
The captain hesitated for a moment, but wanted to ask the reason first, He didn't answer, and quickly asked, "Excuse me, General Wang. I wonder why the general led his troops here?" Wang Yue knew that
this man was afraid of Wang Yue's deception. After all, there were no photos in this era. As long as you use your heart to pretend, it's really easy. He was so fooled, he looked helplessly at Lou Ben.
Lou Ben didn't notice Wan'er either. He quickly came out of the team with his younger brother and said with a smile, "I'm Lou Ben, this is my younger brother Lou Yao. When I visited Feng Yu County, I once visited your general. My younger brother even studied martial arts with General He."
The captain looked at Lou Ben and Lou Yao carefully, and then he believed the identity of the visitor, and said anxiously, "It turns out he is the son of the Lou family, Lou He. We are related by marriage, but I have met Mr. Lou."
Lou Ben nodded and immediately introduced, "This is General Wang Yue, who is a close friend of mine. He heard that Prince Xiao came here with He Zhaojun. After arriving at Feng Zhen County, he specially escorted me and my younger brother to come here to hold us accountable."
