Chapter 110 Short-term Gathering in Camp
As he was talking, suddenly Shi Fengxun came, "Marshal, you are here. It's easy for me to find. Look, there is an urgent letter from King Wei!"
"Oh?" Huanying stood up, took the letter from Shi Feng, roughly browsed it, and frowned slightly frowned, "The King of Wu is really cunning. I have expected that we would eventually have to face the situation of brothers facing each other and fighting in the same room, but it doesn't matter. Before cutting off Lou Xun, our forbearance just reflected the heart of King Wei and took the lead. Just take the lead, but let King Wei be careful that King Wu will grab credit at a critical juncture.
Shi Feng said, "Is it a serious thing that the last general hasn't read the letter?"
"Alas!" Huanying closed the letter and said lightly, "It's expected, so I asked Xiaoci to take the opportunity of Lu's mother to visit the situation of Wu County by the way. The King of Wu asked us to join forces with the imperial court to attack the capital together."
"Hejun?" Shi Feng paused and wondered, "Doesn't the King of Wei not only want to deal with Lou Xun's troops, the remnants of the Empress Dowager Li of the former dynasty, and some other scattered soldiers who took the opportunity to make trouble, have to guard against the sneak attack behind the king of Wu?" With such an enemy, Nie is in charge of their situation like walking on thin ice!"
"If Lou Xun has not yet fallen, and the capital has not been captured, the King of Wu should not attack us, because the King of Wei is fighting under the banner of supporting Wu and anti-Lou. If the King of Wu starts to fight in the same room at this time, he will undoubtedly lose the hearts of the people who had been hard to collect before, so I also agree with Nie Kong's approach, attacking first and then defending!"
"It's a pity that the situation I have found is limited. It's all superficial, and it doesn't help much for the Lord, alas!" Xiaoci sighed.
"No hurry!" Huanying took a deep breath and said, "It's almost winter soon. The offensive of several parties is blocked by the winter cold because of heavy supplies, and it will inevitably slow down. Although we are the closest to the capital, we have to successfully wipe out the chaotic army and attack the capital. I'm afraid it will have to be consumed until the beginning of spring next year, so maybe we can use this period of time to plan. The way to deal with the king of Wu.
"But isn't Madam going to sweep the king's court of Bei Rong? How can she take care of both sides?" Xiaoci was worried.
"No, the Beirong Wangting is not so easy to clean up, and the best result is just a heavy blow to Chi Nagar," Huan said in a low voice, "And it must be before the winter, otherwise it will be snowy and cold outside. Our army will run thousands of miles, and it must first lose its own strength because of the bad environment. Even now is not a good opportunity, but it is sleepy. In this way, after returning to the army, we have time to rectify and rest, and we can also agree with King Wei on the next step, if..."
Huanxuan suddenly stopped and didn't go on.
"What if?" Xiaoci asked puzzledly.
"If you can come back!" After saying that, Huanxuan left from Shi Feng and Xiaoci and returned to the direction of the big tent. The rest of Xiaoci and Shi Feng looked at each other for a long time. Shi Feng finally smiled bitterly at Xiaoci, "Madam is right. It's hard to think about the battle on the battlefield. Miss Xiaoci, cherish the days when you get along with your wife and General Lu on the eve of the army."
Xiaoci was stunned and looked at Shi Feng turn around and left. Suddenly, she said, "Madam, your painstaking efforts have been taken by Xiaoci, but you asked Xiaoci to pick up Lu's mother. Is it for Xiaoci or for General Lu?" You once said that lifelong happiness can't be lived up to, but can Xiaoci still expect lifelong happiness?
After washing and stopping at night, Xiaoci was busy making the bed for Huanxuan and casually asked, "Madam, you won't drive me away before you leave, will you?"
Huanxuan thought for a moment, "Stay for half a month, and then you escort Lu's mother back to Wei County. I have already told King Wei that there are only widows and mothers left in the Lu family. Instead of letting the old man alone guard the broken house in his hometown, it is better to settle it in Weijun. In this way, it will be much more convenient for the mother and son to meet in the future."
Xiaoci hesitated for a long time and couldn't help saying the worries that were blocked in her heart during the day. "Listen to your tone, you don't seem to be sure about this expedition? That..."
"I know what you're worried about!" Huanying interrupted Xiaoci's words and said, "I was also very hesitant to let Lu Zisong stay, but Lu Zisong is a general. He is more suitable for expeditions than Shao Jianping, and Lu Zisong's ability to respond to changes is extremely strong. If he leads the troops together, he may be able to save the lives of more soldiers. In the last ambush in the Ochin Valley, I actually replaced Lu. Zisang pinched a handful of cold sweat, which was too suspenseful. Therefore, I also felt regretful when I gave you the calligraphy and asked you to pick up Lu's mother. However, after I came back, I thought about it and felt that human life was like mustard grass in troubled times. What can I do? Not to mention Lu Zisang, even King Wei and I were like a lonely boat in troubled times. Since no one knows what will happen tomorrow, it's better to cherish the present and grasp every day you have, don't you think?
Xiaoci glanced happily, "Madam can only say that she is a maidservant when she comes back. What about yourself, but you are reluctant to give Wei Wang a little hope!"
Huan lingered, his cheeks gradually blushed, and he laughed in a low voice, "Who said that?" There was even a little more shyness in his words.
Xiaoci heard the wrong voice, so she got up and turned around and said, "Madam and Wei Wang have seen each other recently?"
Huanying took out the white plum jade hairpin from his arms and shook it in his hand, "What do you think?"
Xiaoci came close to her with joy and squatted under her lingering knees. "Did the Lord bring this too? Madam, if you accept it for the second time, will it be returned again?
"I won't return it!" Huanying said leisurely, "King Wei said that no matter what kind of outcome he and I will have, at least we still have the friendship of a small classmate. Since we have the same friendship, how can we refuse his feelings?"
"It should have been like this a long time ago!" Xiaoci looked up and said, "Madam, you are too stubborn. One has failed you and the other is waiting for you with the heart of boxing. Who is superior and who is inferior? Is it possible that you have lost your eyes once, and you have to bear all your life for a mistake?"
"Don't say that, emperor..." Huanying paused, because she remembered that Yuan Can was no longer the emperor, and Yuan Can's people were like water droplets evaporating, without a trace.
Xiaoci looked at her face and said with some disappointment, "Madam, everything is fine, but she is infatuated with the wrong person!"
Huan lingered and laughed, "No, you misunderstood. I just thought that the emperor was missing and was a little distracted. In fact, what I want to tell you is that I think the same as your Weiwang. No matter what will happen in the future, I will treat him kindly every day. Should you be satisfied now?"
Xiaoci was a little embarrassed. She pouted and stood up. "What does it have to do with the maidservant's dissatisfaction? Madam is satisfied and the Lord is satisfied. That's all happy!"
As he talked about the little porcelain, he walked to the bedside and continued to make the bed, pretending that he really didn't care.
"Everyone is happy?" Huanying changed her bad smile, put the jade hairpin on the table, and walked behind Xiaoci. "You know that everyone is happy. You are all happy first and show me!" After saying that, Huanying opened his hand on Xiaoci's back waist. Xiaoci smiled and dodged, "Oh, madam, it's good intentions. You're going to make trouble!"
He said, and he didn't hesitate to return his hand. "I'm not afraid of your wife. You can eat it, or I can eat!"
The two women laughed and made a fuss, and then fell to the bed one after another breathlessly. Xiaoci looked at Huanxuan and gasped and said, "Madam, we haven't been so happy for a long time, have we?"
Huan Ying is also panting. She smiled at Xiaoci, turned her face and looked up at the top of the tent. Suddenly, she said slowly, "Xiaoci, I can't guarantee what kind of difficulties the expedition will encounter, what kind of victory or defeat, and how life and death will be, but I can guarantee that I will bring Lu Zisong back to you!"
When Xiaoci heard the words, her nose was sore. She also turned her head and looked up at the top of the tent like Huanying, so that disappointing tears would come out of her eyes at any time. "Madam, you don't have to give this promise at all. Of course, I hope you can all come back, but in case General Lu can't come back, madam, you must also come back! In fact, the maidservant is the one who is the most reluctant to separate, Madam!"
Huanying was silent for a long time, then got up and sat up straight, nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, General Lu and I will go to the Beirong grassland together. We must go in and out together and return together!"
In Lu Zisang's military tent, the mother and son had not seen each other for many years, as if there were endless words, endless thoughts and concerns, and turned off the lights in the middle of the night. Lu Zisang finally calmed his old mother's excited mood and settled her to rest and fall asleep. He hugged the cotton-padded clothes his old mother sewed for him and blew out the light in the tent. When he withdrew, he did not I forgot to press a big stone at the corner of the curtain to prevent the cold wind at night from entering the tent and affecting the old mother's rest.
His mother lived in his military tent, and Lu Zisong could only go to Shao Jianping's military tent for a while, but he seemed to be more sleepless than his old mother, and his heart always felt as if there was something that could not be put down, and there was no sleepiness.
Lu Zisang stood outside the tent for a long time, and suddenly figured out what made him uneasy. He had been busy accompanying and taking care of his old mother, so that he couldn't thank the two weak women who gave him this surprise.
Maybe it's too late. The two girls should have fallen asleep, right? Lu Zisong hesitated, but he couldn't help walking in the direction of the handsome tent. The lights of the handsome tent had not been extinguished, but it was so quiet that there was no movement. Lu Zisong stood outside the tent for a long time. He was afraid that it would disturb their rest, but he felt uncomfortable not to say a few words.
When he was hesitant and in a dilemma, a whisper suddenly came to his account, "Xiaoci, you'd better go out, lest General Lu, I'm afraid he's going to watch the night for us!"
It was an obvious joking tone, but it was full of kindness. Needless to ask, it was Mrs. Ying who opened her golden mouth.
"Hee hee!" He couldn't help smiling, and a beautiful figure was reflected in the warm light of the tent.
"General Lu, is that you? Madam asked, are you going to watch the night for us? Xiaoci learned to linger his tone.
Lu Zisang's face was red and his face was full of embarrassment. At this time, he could not enter or leave. "The last general, the last general..."
