The First-Class Medical Princess Chapter 134: At the beginning of the war
Beiliang's land runs east-west, and it has a long bordering line from west to east with Daxin. Between Beiliang and Daxin, in addition to Meiguan in the northeast, there is another important pass in the middle, Xuan Menguan, Xuanmenguan is the gateway for Daxin and Beiliang to enter and exit in the middle. Whether it is the Beiliang side or the Daxin side, if you cross Xuanmenguan, you can go straight down to the cities and towns of the two countries. The previous dynasty was still Daxin, and the Xuanmen Pass was a pass that the emperors of all dynasties attached great importance to, because once the pass was broken, his geographical location and terrain could only allow the two countries to exchange fire, or Daxin went straight to Beiliang. Go straight to the past, or the North Liang will go south and directly occupy the Daxin land south of Xuanmen Pass.
The news of the emergency at Xuanmen Pass was unpreventable. When the ministers were still arguing with Emperor Yongye who should be the king, the news from Xuanmen Pass directly shocked many ministers and said I can't speak.
The voices about Li Zhu naturally came to an abrupt end. In the face of such external aggression, Li Zhu's internal troubles have already been considered by the volunteers to be nothing more than that.
At the Xuanmen Pass, Daxin and Beiliang naturally had conflicts from time to time, but there was never any emergency.
Xuanmen Pass has always been guarded by General Shouyuan, a veteran general who followed the first emperor in the Northern Expedition. The so-called Xuanmen Pass is in a hurry. More than 100,000 troops came to Xuanmen Pass, but at this moment, there were less than 200,000 troops in Xuanmen Pass, and more importantly, the soldiers who led this time had already returned from the battlefield of Xiyuan General of Beiliang, Gan Cheng.
Ever since Gan Ji lost the three lines of defense, the Empress Dowager Gan, no matter how much she loved her younger brother, was still angry at him. After some consideration and discussion with the courtiers, she transferred Gan Cheng from Xiyuan Come back, now that it has entered summer, Beiliang is rich in food and grass, so it starts to send troops.
Daxin and Xiyuan have already formed an alliance. This is an established fact. Beiliang will naturally not sit still. Before Xiyuan and Daxin jointly launch an offensive, Beiliang must seize the opportunity and strive for the initiative. Otherwise, if Daxin and Beiliang launched the offensive first, so Beiliang would be in a passive position.
Emperor Yongye originally had a sick and weak body. When he heard the news, his complexion looked even worse. event.
At the same time, in the Blue Eagle Barracks.
Su Yunchu is currently receiving a letter from Yunming from Jiecheng. Yunji has successfully settled in Jiecheng, and with the past three to four months, it has already gained enough influence. In the former war zone, The appearance of Yunji is undoubtedly a timely help.
Similarly, after escorting Jingyi to Xiyuan, the ten guards had successfully turned back. However, this time, the turnback did not go directly to Beijing or Jiangnan, but was sent directly to Ancheng by Su Yunchu. There, there were tasks left to them.
Yunming's letter and the letter from the ten guards arrived at the same time. Just when Emperor Yongye received the urgent message from Xuanmen Pass, Su Yunchu also received the news from the ten guards that Beiliang might dispatch troops. , Moreover, it is very likely to go to Xuanmen Pass.
She frowned, took the letter to find Murong Yuan, and Murong Yuan was also in the tent at this time, and at the same time received the news that Emperor Yongye had summoned him back to Beijing and the news that Xuanmen Pass was urgent.
Su Yunchu walked straight in with the letter, "Huaiqing, Xuanmen Pass..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the bright yellow imperial decree in Murong Yuan's hand and a letter marking the source of the Prince Jing's own news.
Su Yunchu frowned, "Is something wrong with Xuanmen Pass?"
Murong Yuan nodded, with a serious expression on his face, he looked at the letter in Su Yunchu's hand, pursed his lips, but stared straight at Su Yunchu.
Su Yunchu was puzzled.
I saw Murong Yuan looking at Su Yunchu and said, "Ah Chu, can't you go back to Beijing with me?"
Su Yunchu frowned, and looked at Murong Yuan's condensed face with firm eyes. There was already something in her heart that she could understand, but she said firmly, "Huaiqing, I'm going to Xuanmen Off."
Murong Yuan sighed, "Isn't it good to go to Ancheng?"
"You know." Su Yunchu looked at Murong Yuan, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
Murong Yuan felt a little helpless on his face, the original serious expression had disappeared, he just reached out and rubbed Su Yunchu's face, "Then, Ah Chu, be careful and wait for me at Xuanmen Pass."
In the evening of that day, Murong Yuan quickly returned to the capital, but before Murong Yuan left the Blue Eagle Barracks, Su Yunchu led Ying Li and Mu Han to stealthily go to Xuanmen Pass.
This time, the game between Beiliang and Daxin will not end easily. Beiliang is prepared, and Daxin is also prepared. Daxin, which occupies fertile soil, also wants to annex Xiyuan, which is rich in minerals. Then, with no generals in the court, especially Murong Yuan is very familiar with Beiliang. Under such circumstances, no matter what Emperor Yongye has Any worries will make Murong Yuan lead the army to go out.
However, because of Emperor Yongye's fear of Murong Yuan, he will definitely find a way to seize Murong Yuan's life, so that even if Murong Yuan leads the 800,000 Northern Expeditionary Army, no matter what time it is, it is impossible for Murong Yuan to oppose Daxin. , an opportunity to threaten the capital.
Then, Murong Yuan's destiny is undoubtedly Su Yunchu.
Emperor Yongye will definitely keep Su Yunchu in the capital when Murong Yuan goes to war. After the Northern Expedition is over, no matter what the outcome is, Su Yunchu will become Emperor Yongye's means to suppress Murong Yuan.
So, here, Su Yunchu must first leave the capital before Emperor Yongye reacts and detains Su Yunchu in the capital.
According to Beiliang's marching speed and the speed at which the news was sent back, Xuanmen Pass has been in chaos for at least ten days, and General Shouyuan's strength, relying on Xuanmen Pass for less than twenty With a force of ten thousand, they can last at most another half a month if they stick to it.
When Murong Yuan returned to the capital, it was already sunset and the moon was shining in the sky. After entering the gate of the city, he went directly to the palace to meet Emperor Yongye.
In the imperial study room, after Emperor Yongye saw Murong Yuan, he said directly, "The Northern Liang army is suppressing the border, you must know about it."
Murong Yuan nodded, which was regarded as approval.
Emperor Yongye's face is still unsmiling, "Chaozhong, the only general who can be sent out now is you. Standing up this time is a long-term duel. The lost ground that the late emperor was thinking about is always to recover. I'm back."
When Emperor Yongye said this, he kept staring at Murong Yuan. In front of the foreign aggression, at this moment, he looked at this son with an expression of hope rather than inquiry.
Murong Yuan lowered his eyes slightly, "I understand."
Emperor Yongye nodded, returned to his chair and sat down, and said in a deep voice, "This time, to help Xuanmen Pass urgently, I will allow you to lead the troops first, and then Chongyi will Yun leads 300,000 troops, and will follow you, regroup tomorrow, and set off the day after tomorrow."
Chongyiyun, Murong Yuan listened, but did not express anything on the face, Chongyiyun is a general that Emperor Yongye trusts very much, he can be called a confidant. He is one of the generals of the Northern Expedition Army. This person is an orphan. He joined the army as a young man and rose step by step. To Emperor Yongye, Chong Yiyun is a rare talent. Although he is now middle-aged, he has not yet married a wife. Marrying a family, saying only the emperor's order, no background, no background, won the trust of Emperor Yongye.
This time, Emperor Yongye only asked Murong Yuan to lead troops to rescue Xuanmen Pass, but Chong Yiyun led 300,000 troops to follow him. The military power has been dispersed. In fact, this is not a defense against Murong Yuan.
Murong Yuan didn't say anything about this, and he took his orders.
"I obey the order."
Just when Murong Yuan was about to step down, Emperor Yongye said, "Recently, I have suffered from severe headaches, and the imperial physicians in the palace are not good enough. You go back and ask that girl to come over and show me."
Murong Yuan listened, and the corner of his mouth raised a sarcasm, "Father, Ah Chu is not in the capital."
Emperor Yongye listened, squinted his eyes, sat on a high seat, and looked straight at him. After a long while, Emperor Yongye sneered, "Old five, in this life, I have never dared to disobey me. Only You, only you."
Murong Yuan lowered his eyes, "I dare not."
Emperor Yongye patted the table in front of him, even the teacups on the table shook, "I see you are very brave!"
This scolding sounded like a bell, but it seemed that Emperor Yongye had spent a lot of sharp weapons. His face was so angry that the muscles on his face were twitching. The scolding made him tremble in fright.
He knew Emperor Yongye's body but he didn't dare to do other movements, he just looked at Emperor Yongye's slightly trembling body from behind, feeling unbearable in his heart.
Murong Yuan was completely unmoved, it seemed that Emperor Yongye's temper had never existed for him, he raised his head and glanced at Emperor Yongye who was still in anger, he just cupped his fists and said, "If the emperor has no other orders, my son will leave."
"Stop, do you think I can't let her come back after she left first? Don't forget, the whole Daxin is still mine!"
Murong Yuan listened, and there was still no expression on his calm face that could be explored by Emperor Yongye, "I understand, but I know that my father doesn't."
He said it firmly, and he confirmed Emperor Yongye's mind.
"Heh, old five, don't think you understand me."
"I don't think so, but I understand that my father wants a perfect Daxin."
Murong Yuan looked up at Emperor Yongye with sharp eyes.
Emperor Yongye pursed his lips tightly when he saw it, and then said, "Fifth, this is not something you would do."
"Father understands his sons and ministers, what he can do and what he can't do, just look at the father."
The secret rivalry between the two can only be seen on the side of Fang Ming's forehead dripping with sweat.
Emperor Yongye took a fixed look at Murong Yuan, and suddenly burst into laughter, but the empty laughter only made people feel that he was tired, weak and self-deprecating.
Yes, today's Murong Yuan is no longer the son who was at his disposal more than ten years ago, nor is he his supporter. He can use Daxin and the first emperor to control him.
He will grow old, won't Murong Yuan grow up?
It's just Su Yunchu.
Finally, Murong Yuan only raised the corners of his lips, and resigned.
Emperor Yongye said, "Fifth, you have to remember what you said."
Murong Yuan's footsteps paused, "If the father remembers, the minister will remember, if the father forgets..."
He didn't say any more, just walked away.
Daxin still needs him, and Emperor Yongye still needs him.
Emperor Yongye supported the table with one hand and watched, but he couldn't speak in his anger.
There is still half a month left. In this half month, Murong Yuan has to lead his troops to Beiliang. The number of people, only waiting for tomorrow, first set off one step ahead of the soldiers and horses led by Murong Yuan.
Blue Eagle's nearly 5,000 people can all be called cavalry, and they will arrive one step ahead of Murong Yuan. However, due to the large number of people, even if they arrive first, it will not be too long.
It was already steaming in June. At this time, in Prince Zhi's Mansion, Su Yiran, with a warm smile on his face, went to Murong Zhi's study with a tray in his hand. Inside were some newly purchased lychees. The ice in the ice cellar has just been frozen, and it is very delicious. In the past few months, the relationship between her and Murong Zhi seems to have eased a lot. At least, now, Murong Zhi has slept on the same bed with her. She is also becoming more and more confident as a ruling concubine.
In the study, Murong Zhi and Murong Yan were talking. Murong Yan came here suddenly, after Murong Yuan went to see Emperor Yongye, "Third brother, it is said that Su Yunchu did not return to Beijing with the fifth brother .”
Murong Zhi listened, and frowned slightly, "This matter was not accidental, but Murong Yuan was willing to let him out, heh, I underestimated this."
Murong Yan was not at ease, "Why don't you wait for someone to stop you?"
"Stop? Fourth, after so long, you still haven't learned your lesson. She is not something you can stop if you want to. Based on the current situation, do you know which way she is going?" Murong Zhi Looking at him, the smile on the corner of his mouth was obscure.
Murong Yan was speechless.
Su Yiran, who originally came to the study with a tray, naturally heard the conversation inside. Since Su Yunchu was taken to the barracks by Murong Yuan, she has not heard of this person for nearly half a year. It's been so long that she even forgot that there is such a person. At this moment, if she hadn't brought fruit to the study to give to Murong Zhi, she would not have known. It turned out that he was still so concerned. Su Yunchu.
That's right, she shouldn't have forgotten, she shouldn't have forgotten, during their first time, Murong Zhi kept calling Su Yunchu's name in mouthfuls.
The originally gentle smile on his face dimmed a bit in an instant.
Inside, the conversation between Murong Zhi and Murong Yan continued, and they were talking about Su Yunchu, but suddenly, Murong Zhi said in a low voice, "Who?"
Su Yiran stood outside the door for only a short while, hearing Murong Zhi's voice, she responded, "My lord, I am a concubine."
As she spoke, she had already walked in with a plate of fruit.
Murong Zhi's face darkened, "What are you doing here?"
Su Yiran still had a faint smile on his face, "Today, some lychees have been brought into the mansion. The concubine looks very delicious and can relieve the heat, so I want to bring them here for the prince to taste."
She was very natural, and she was not surprised to see Murong Yan inside, "The fourth brother is also here."
Murong Yan didn't have much feeling for this third sister-in-law, but he still called out, "Sister-in-law Sanhuang."
After she put down the fruit, Murong Zhi just looked at her and said, "If there's nothing wrong, you can go back to the yard, the king and the fourth child will still discuss matters here."
The expression on Su Yiran's face paused, but he still said, "In that case, the concubine will go down first."
After that, he walked out of this place.
However, after walking out of the study, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by a touch of cold irony.
Only after Su Yiran left, Murong Zhi shouted to the door, "From now on, without my king's permission, you are not allowed to let people in the mansion enter the study room at will."
Usually no one would make such a mistake, but Murong Zhi didn't know that ever since she stayed at Su Yiran's place, the people in the mansion had treated Su Yiran as the mistress, thinking that Princess Zhi could come in Murong Zhi's study Understand.
Hearing Murong Zhi's order, the people outside only responded, "Yes!"
Ten days later, at Xuanmen Pass, Beiliang launched another attack on Xuanmen Pass. The 200,000 soldiers and horses in Xuanmen Pass were less than 150,000. .
Beiliang is bound to break through the Xuanmen Pass this time, and wants to find a breakthrough from the Xuanmen Pass and go south.
Another battle ended, Shou Yuan, a veteran over half a century old, only had a look of determination that couldn't be dispelled, standing on the gate of the city, looking at the corpses below the city, it was a mess.
No one knew how heartbroken this veteran with many years of combat experience was when he saw this scene.
The strength of Xuanmen Pass is already less than 150,000. If Beiliang launches a few more strong attacks, Xuanmen Pass will definitely not be able to defend. , all the people are like his own children, if the Xuanmen Pass is lost, how can he face the tens of thousands of people in the pass?
The troops sent by the imperial court will take at least five days to arrive. However, with less than 150,000 troops, can they really defend against the fierce attack of Beiliang led by Gan Cheng?
Just as he was standing on the city wall worried, Shou Zhong had already boarded the city gate, looked at Shou Yuan with a frown on his face, "Father is injured, let's go to the military doctor to treat the wound."
Shouyuan sighed, "Oh, this bone is gone, the wound is just like this, it's the same whether it's bandaged or not, I can't die!"
Shouzhong was a little moved, "Father...you can't..."
Shou Yuan just waved his hand, "Forget it, let's go."
Shou Zhong just supported Shou Yuan down the tower, and said, "Father, don't worry, Prince Jing's reinforcements will definitely arrive within five days. We just need to stick to the Xuanmen Pass, Xuanmen Pass It is so strong that it cannot be easily destroyed by Beiliang."
Shouyuan's voice was heavy and imperceptibly tired, "Why don't I understand? It's just, five days... Now Beiliang has 300,000 soldiers and horses. We can break through in two batches, we are simply powerless to deal with the enemy, five days... five days is also a long time..."
Shouzhong listened, and promised in a deep voice, "Son must guard the Xuanmen gate to the death, shut it in people, and destroy it!"
Shouyuan listened and looked at Shouzhong for a long time before Langsheng laughed, "Okay, okay! As expected of my son, Shouyuan, I have no regrets for having a son like this, hahaha..."
Shouzhong took Shouyuan to treat the wounds left by the previous battle. After a long time, the blood had solidified on the wounds, large and small. There are some difficulties.
However, when Shouyuan was treating the wound, the horn of the enemy's attack had already sounded outside.
When Shouyuan heard this, he immediately ignored the wound he was cleaning up, "Hurry up, go and fight."
Shouzhong naturally understood, and held Shouyuan down, "The soldiers have been deployed, and the son will go to fight immediately. The father is wounded, so it is not appropriate to use force."
However, Shouyuan has always been a stubborn person. How could he hear Jin Shouzhong's words? Regardless of the opposition, he put away his shirt and said, "Go to battle with the old man immediately!"
He was so vigorous that he couldn't tell at all that he was an old man over half a century old.
Less than two hours had passed since the last time the army retreated. Beiliang retreated a group of people, but a new group came back. This time, the number of people was as many as 200,000.
There are many soldiers in Beiliang, and they can take turns to fight. However, Daxin's strength at Xuanmen Pass is already less than 150,000. The exhaustion from the previous battle has not yet worn off. The high level of vigilance and tension, after so many days, has been exhausted.
For Beiliang's second attack today, it took less than half an hour to resist it, and it was already extremely strenuous.
Shou Yuan and Shou Zhong have long been jealous, and they also fought with the soldiers on the battlefield.
Could it be that the Xuanmen Gate can no longer be guarded, is the Xuanmen Gate going to be broken today?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that all the strength in his body was going to explode.
Shouzhong watched his father fight desperately among the enemy troops. From a long distance, he split the enemy and went forward, while shouting, "Soldiers, stick to the Xuanmen!" Guan, Prince Jing is coming, Prince Jing is coming."
No matter at any time, as long as it is in the land of Daxin, the myth of Murong Yuan's invincibility represents an indelible and lofty belief.
He rushed to Shouyuan's side, "Father! Father!"
While pulling Shouyuan to his horse, he tried his best to charge away the enemy army, as if all his abilities had been exerted to the extreme.
Shou Yuan was already exhausted, so he said in a hoarse voice, "You must guard the Xuanmen Gate, otherwise, I will not be able to live in peace even if I am a ghost!"
Beiliang's offensive became more and more fierce. Behind the Beiliang army, Gan Cheng sat alone on his horse, watching the fight in front of the Xuanmen Pass.
Within an hour, the troops at Xuanmen Pass will definitely be severely damaged!
However, at this moment, behind Gan Cheng, there was a small soldier galloping towards Gan Cheng.
Getting off his horse, he said something in front of Gan Cheng. Gan Cheng looked shocked, looked at the soldiers of Beiliang who were fighting bravely, waved his hand, and called for gold to withdraw.
At the most advantageous time, Gan Cheng returned with his soldiers and horses, and the Xuanmen Pass returned to a mess and a sad and solemn silence.
Shou Zhong didn't have time to think about anything, so he just took Shou Yuan to the military doctor's place.
Shou Yuan has been seriously injured and must be treated immediately.
And this fight also greatly damaged the troops at Xuanmen Pass.
If there is another onslaught from Beiliang, they will not be able to hold on.
After treating Shouyuan's wounds, Shouyuan was left exhausted, but, thinking of Gan Cheng who suddenly withdrew his troops today, he didn't understand what the reason for this was.
He asked Shouzhong, "Have you found out why Beiliang suddenly withdrew its troops?"
As he spoke, his expression became agitated, "Could it be that the prince has arrived and attacked the Beiliang camp?"
But thinking about it, it is impossible, because if Murong Yuan's army bypassed the Xuanmen Pass to attack Beiliang, it would not be so fast. "
He quickly vetoed it, and Shouzhong had no choice but to tell him that the person who went to investigate the news had not returned, but it should be soon, and then he asked, "Could it be the blue eagle army of the prince?"
Shou Yuan shook his head again, "It must not be."
At this time, the soldiers outside came to report, "General, the news is back."
Shou Yuan was shocked and sat up straight.
When the investigator came back, he was still out of breath, "General, the food and grass in Beiliang was attacked and half of it was burned!"
When Shou Zhong and Shou Yuan heard the news, they were both serious about who did it.
However, it was also at this time that people from outside came to report, "General, there is a young man outside asking to see you."
Speaking, someone came to give Shouyuan an envelope, and Shou Zhong took it first, and then handed it to Shouyuan after opening it. There are only a few words, "When I first came to Xuanmen Pass, half of Beiliang's grain and grass were destroyed, and I gave it to the brave general Shouyuan."
At this time, outside the entrance of the Xuanmen, there was a young man in white, followed by two guards who looked equally unsmiling, one on each side, even at the entrance of the Xuanmen, they still stood beside him in a guarding posture.
However, the voice of the young master when he spoke was extremely clear, and it was clearly Su Yunchu.
Ying Li stood behind her, "Princess, will General Shou really believe that letter when he receives it?"
Su Yunchu raised her head and looked at the city gate in front of her. Her thoughts had just come back from the battlefield. There was no trace of hesitation on Yingli's face, and she just said softly, "General Shouyuan will understand." .”
Mu Han also interrupted, "Why didn't the princess go to see General Shouyuan as Princess Jing, if she went to see General Shouyuan as a princess, why bother and wait."
Su Yunchu just shook his head, "If I go to see General Shouyuan as Concubine Jing, then General Shouyuan will only treat me as Concubine Jing, and Concubine Jing is still a woman, I came to Xuanmen Pass, right? The one who came to be Princess Jing came instead of Huaiqing."
The identity of Princess Jing, no matter what Su Yunchu has done today, once this cognition is preconceived, then, no matter how many things I do in the future, I will still be just a woman by Murong Yuan's side. "
She said it expressionlessly, the woman behind Murong Yuan, or the woman under Murong Yuan's protection, is an identity and status she does not want.
Mu Han and Ying Li remained silent, but Su Yunchu stopped explaining. She went to see Shou Yuan as a counselor under King Jing's command, and she would not reveal her identity until Murong Yuan arrived.
Speaking here, the sun has gradually set in the western mountains. When Shou Yuan received the letter, his face was shocked. He just looked at the letter and was not sure why the person came. The name Song An , He has never heard of it before, besides, what he said in his heart, half of the food and grass in Beiliang was burned, could it be that only one person can create such an effect?
He held the letter in a daze for a long time, and Shou Zhong looked at his father Ruo this, and also took the letter in Shou Yuan's hand. After looking at it, he said in a deep voice, "Father, but Trust this person?"
Shou Yuan sighed, "I don't know, I don't know, there is no movement after this time, the prince's reinforcements must have not arrived yet, it's just..."
Just what, Shouyuan only paused for a moment, then said, "Go, you go and invite the person over yourself."
Looking at Shouyuan's expression, Shou paused for a moment, and answered with cupped fists, "Yes."
After counting, he stepped away from here.
Shouyuan just sat on the couch to rest again. After today's fierce battle, new injuries added to old injuries, and because he was thinking about the war, his heart was always uneasy. The military doctor said that if he continued to fight hard today If he persisted, I'm afraid, the day of his death will not be far away.
Closing his eyes, he seemed to still be enduring the pain from touching the wound.
Su Yunchu outside, after waiting for a full quarter of an hour, saw the soldiers guarding the gate still meticulously. It seemed that the three of Su Yunchu were not waiting here. Since Su Yunchu first appeared here, he submitted a petition After Shouyuan's letter, the gatekeepers were only curious about Su Yunchu and others for a moment, and then they didn't pay much attention to them.
Su Yunchu looked at it, the corners of his lips slightly raised, "It is said that General Shouyuan is good at running the army, and now it seems that his reputation is indeed well-deserved."
Mu Han only responded, "General Shouyuan is a rare general, old and strong, dedicated to protecting Daxin, and his family has been guarding Xuanmen Pass for half their life, and is extremely respected and praised by the people in Xuanmen Pass. Almost all the people in Xuanmen Pass believe that Xuanmen Pass will not be breached if General Shou’s family is here.”
Su Yunchu nodded, remembering what Murong Yuan said to her before departure, Shouyuan is a person who can be trusted, and in the middle of the north of Daxin, no one cares more about Daxin's fate than Shouyuan.
And this is the biggest reason why Murong Yuan felt relieved that Su Yunchu came to Xuanmen Pass alone.
While talking here, the gate of the city opened again. This time, Shou Zhong came towards Su Yunchu and the others with vigorous footsteps.
Seeing this, Su Yunchu had already taken two steps forward. Mu Han explained to Su Yunchu, "This is the son of General Shouyuan, Shouzhong, who is also a general of Xuanmen Pass."
Su Yunchu just cupped his fists and said, "General Shouzhong."
Shou Zhong also cupped his fists, "This is Song Gongzi Song An?"
"Exactly below."
"Young Master Song, please follow me to see the general."
On the other side, after Gan Cheng received the news from the barracks, he ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.
There is a problem with food and grass. This is a major event that cannot be tolerated for a moment. Beiliang is short of arable land, so food and grass are extremely precious. When he went back along the way, he was thinking whether Murong Yuan's army had come , but after thinking about it, based on his understanding of Murong Yuan, if Murong Yuan came, he would give him the most painful blow directly through the Xuanmen Gate, and would not bypass Xuanmen in such an emergency. The door is closed to attack his food and grass, what's more, if it is an attack, it is better to attack his camp, to attack the food and grass, there is only one possibility, that is, reinforcements have arrived, but it is not Murong Yuan's reinforcements.
However, Gan Cheng couldn't figure out how the reinforcements went around to the place where his camp was hoarding food and grass to cause damage.
When he returned to the camp, the two brothers Cai He and Cai Xian, who were in charge of guarding the food and grass, had already taken the initiative to plead guilty, "General, the food and grass have been burned, and the end will be to blame. Please punish the general."
Gan Cheng was not in a hurry to do something to the two of them, even though he was very agitated at this moment, he just said in a deep voice, "Get up first, and tell me how the food and grass were burned."
When the two brothers Cai He heard this, their faces darkened, they couldn't answer, and they continued to kneel and couldn't get up.
Gan Cheng frowned, "Why, I don't know?"
Cai He and Cai Xian continued to kneel, "The subordinate is incompetent. At this time, the reason is still not found."
Gan Cheng stood up abruptly, "Take me to have a look."
Most of the food and grass in Beiliang were destroyed, but the two of them still couldn't find the source of the fire, and they couldn't find the reason. Curious.
Half of the food and grass were destroyed, and their backup at Xuanmenguan was not enough.
Because Gan Cheng was not in a hurry to punish, Cai He and Cai Xian only looked at each other, and took Gan Cheng to the location of the grain and grass.
Most of the food and grass were burned, and there was still a smell of burning ashes in the air. The weather in the past two days was particularly dry. It was the afternoon when the food and grass were burned, and it was still sunny fierce time.
After Gan Cheng walked around the half-burned grain and grass, he still couldn't see how the grain and grass burned, so that the soldiers could rescue them after half of the books were burned. Did no one notice at the beginning?
He asked this sentence.
Cai He and Cai Xian looked at each other, and then recounted the situation to Gan Cheng, "I tell the general, the brothers in the camp at that time only heard a burst of explosions, thinking that someone was attacking the camp, but It was discovered that fireworks were ignited on the grain and grass side, and after that, explosions sounded one after another, and when the soldiers rushed over, it was too late to put out the fire..."
As he spoke, he still looked ashamed.
Gan Cheng listened, but stared at the grain and grass for a long time, it exploded, why on earth was there such a sound of explosion? And there are explosions one after another, could it be gunpowder, and why there is no sign of gunpowder explosion at all here.
Just as I was thinking here, two small soldiers had already dragged out three people, to be precise, the bodies of three Beiliang soldiers, and their battle robes had been taken off, leaving only the naked body Underwear.
Gan Cheng knew at a glance that someone must have sneaked into the barracks, three of them, three of them burned half of their food and grass.
Cai Hecai took a look first and knew that the two were soldiers in charge of taking care of the grain and grass in the camp. Seeing Gan Cheng's restrained anger and almost twitching face, he just knelt down again, "General, Please punish the general."
Gan Cheng turned around and left behind an undeniable sentence of "each person is responsible for fifty rods".
As for Cai He and Cai Xian, listening to this sentence, they only looked up at the back of Gan Chengli, with expressions of surprise and remorse on their faces.
How exactly the grain and grass in Beiliang caused the explosion, Gan Cheng still couldn't figure it out.
On the other side, after Su Yunchu was taken by Shou Zhong to see Shou Yuan, Shou Yuan looked at the young Pian Pian with a jade-like face in front of him, and seemed to dare not believe that he came to see himself. The person who destroyed half of Beiliang's food and grass was the young man in front of him who was not as young as the weak crown.
He didn't have the majestic look on his face when he saw outsiders, and he didn't use his status as a general to exert any coercion on the coming Su Yunchu.
He looked at Su Yunchu, and did not conceal his doubts in his tone, "You are the son of Song Ansong who sent the letter to the old man?"
Su Yunchu nodded, "I'm the one who has heard the name of General Shouyuan for a long time, and seeing once is as expected."
Listening to the sincere words in Su Yunchu's tone, Shou Yuan just waved his hands, "Famous? I don't want to be famous, I just want to be able to guard this Xuanmen Gate."
Su Yunchu only said, "With the old general around, the Xuanmen Pass must be able to hold."
Shouyuan just waved his hand, "Today, if Beiliang hadn't retreated, Xuanmen Pass would have been destroyed by the old man. I'm sorry for the late emperor..."
However, after doing this, he seemed to realize that he should not be so negative and lose his composure in front of Su Yunchu. He sighed and said to Su Yunchu, "Mr. Song, don't be offended."
Su Yunchu shook his head slightly, "General Shouyuan's righteousness, Song An can only admire."
After this small exchange of pleasantries, it occurred to him to ask, "Why did Mr. Song come to Xuanmen Pass?"
Su Yunchu pursed his lips and smiled, "Didn't General Shouyuan have made up his mind a long time ago, otherwise, how could he show such affection in front of me?"
If it wasn't for Shouyuan who knew who she was, I'm afraid, he wouldn't be so defensive in front of her.
Shou Yuan listened, and only laughed. In the early years, the old man met King Jing, and at that time, the person who followed King Jing was the person next to Mr. Song.
Shouyuan looked at Mu Handao behind Su Yunchu.
In the early years, Mu Han had been working secretly as Murong Yuan's secret guard. Even if someone saw Mu Han, they might not know that Mu Han was one of Murong Yuan's subordinates. Su Yunchu's identity was revealed.
Mu Han naturally still remembered the meeting back then. Hearing what Shou Yuan said, he just cupped his hands and said, "Thanks to the memory of the old general."
Shou Yuan just waved his hand, and said to Su Yunchu, "So, Mr. Song, he is a member of His Highness King Jing, and he came to Xuanmen Pass earlier?"
Su Yunchu nodded, and took out the token representing Murong Yuan's identity from his sleeve.
Shou Yuan certainly recognizes it, but no one knows that the token, which depicts an eagle, is actually the token of the blue eagle.
He looked at Su Yunchu with horror in his eyes.
