Chapter 111 Wave the South

"Oi, Xiaoci, don't bully honest people. Go quickly and come back after a few words. Don't be greedy when the night is cold!" Huanying told her with a smile that it turned out that she did not rest, but just sat at the head of the bed and looked at the roster of Mingsha camp soldiers, repeatedly considering the expedition and the need to leave the people guard.

Xiaoci turned around and apologized to Huanying, "The maidservant will go back, so as not to affect you, madam!"

" Put on your clothes, it's cold outside!" Huanxuan pointed to the shelf of clothes, full of care.

Xiaoci smiled, took her clothes and walked out of the account. Lu Zisong outside the tent has been waiting for a long time. He really met face to face, but he was full of embarrassment. For a moment, he didn't know how to open his mouth, so he had to bow to him, "The last general, the last general has disturbed the rest of the girl and the coach!"

"You still know!" Xiaoci was sure of him, and half of her tone was resentment, but the other half said with a serious look, "If General Lu wants to say, it's just some words of thanks, I think it's okay. Madam asked Xiaoci to pick up General Lu's mother. General Lu should know her deep meaning better than me."

"The last will know!" Lu Zisong nod solemnly and said, "Madam wants the last general to have no worries and fight bravely to kill more enemies in the battlefield. How can the last general not know? Please rest assured that if the last general can see his old mother again this time, he will immediately die in the battlefield, and there will be no regrets in death!"

Xiao Ci sighed and shook her head slowly. "Madam certainly hopes that all the soldiers can kill the enemy bravely, but what she said is that since we are going on an expedition together, we must go in and out together and return together!"

"Go in and out together, go and return together?" Lu Zisang repeated these eight words, "Madam, I hope all of us can come back alive!"

Xiaoci looked at Lu Zisang and said with a faint smile, "Not only madam, but also me!"

Lu Zisong's heart moved, and his cheeks began to burn again. He hesitated for a moment and approached Xiaoci. "Girl, the girl's heart is taken away, but the last general is afraid of wronging the girl. The last general has been poor since he was a child. Only the old mother and the general depend on each other. Now..."

"Isn't it good now?" Xiaoci then said lightly, "Due to the general's merits, the king of Wei and his wife will not treat the general badly. The lady said that half a month later, I will send your mother to Weijun City. My wife has sent a letter to the king of Wei and let the Lord settle your mother in Weijun City. The general can have no worries at all!"

"Really?" Lu Zisang said happily, "The last general is still worried about sending my mother back to his hometown, and it's thousands of miles away. If it's in Wei County, it's only a few hundred miles, three or five days away. It's really much more convenient!"

"Will I lie to you again?" Xiaoci smiled more gently, "Although it is difficult to leave your hometown, there is no one in your family. It's better to settle down nearby, so that it will be easier for you and your mother and son to meet in the future. When the general returns, you will definitely win the award. At that time, the old lady will be able to enjoy a worry-free life with the general. She will work hard for a lifetime, so that the old lady can take care of her. It must be the general's wish, right?

"Of course!" Lu Zisong arched his hand again and said, "Madam and the girl, as well as the kindness of the king of Wei, will be difficult to repay the last general for life. The last general will definitely fight to the death. He will also have an explanation for himself and to all those who are kind to the general!"

"You can explain to Wei Wang and his wife, I don't need it!" Xiaoci glanced at Lu Zis Song and suddenly whispered, "My mother and I just hope that the general will return safely!"

Lu Zisang was stunned when he heard the words. When he woke up, there was a heat wave in his heart. Xiaoci also called her old mother, which showed that she had acquiesced to her relationship with the Lu family! Lu Zisong's throat was choked, and he was closer to Xiaoci again. Xiaoci did not avoid or hide, but lowered his head shyly.

At such a close distance, Lu Zisang can almost smell the slight fragrance of Xiaoci's hair. He has an impulse to hold the other party in his arms. However, he did not forget that this is still in the military camp, and it is only about ten steps away from the handsome account. With his personality, he is ultimately worried that the etiquette will abrupt the other party and be recognized by the porcelain. He must be a prodigal son, so he annoys him. Isn't it indefensible? So Lu Zisang had to take a deep breath and whispered in Xiaoci's ear, "Girl, don't worry, I, Lu Zisang, swear to God here that I will be good to the girl all my life. I will never fail the girl, otherwise I will be punished by God!"

"Shh!" Xiaoci laughed and said, "Who wants you to swear? Remember, you have to be careful about everything. My mother and I will wait for the general to triumph in Weijun City!"

"Well, you should also take care of yourself. There is nothing wrong with my mother giving you to take care of me. It's just that I'm wronged you!" Lu Zisang said eagerly.

"My mother is very good and good to me. There is nothing wrong!" Xiaoci raised her head and looked at Lu Zichan in the dark. "After the triumph, if you are rewarded by the King of Wei, don't forget to ask the prince for marriage, okay?"

"Good!" In the cold wind at night, Lu Zisong felt that his whole body was warm. At this moment, an unknown courage prompted him to grasp Xiaoci's hand and hold it tightly in his palm. "I'd rather not take anything than ask Wei Wang and his wife for you!"

Xiaoci smiled again and gently leaned her head on Lu Zisang's shoulder.

Nie Kong's initial advance was smooth. He basically did not encounter much strong resistance in three cities in ten days, but he knew very well that the closer he was to the capital, the stronger the garrison responsible for the defense of the city. In addition, there was a subordinate army behind him. Even if the war situation was fierce, he did not dare to use all his troops. Put yourself into the battle, so the situation is really not optimistic.

And it is about to winter. The grain and fodder accumulated by Wei County is sufficient, but Wei County's winter is long and summer is short. After the beginning of spring, it will take at least two months longer than Wu County to get a new supplement. Therefore, the needs of the army have to be carefully calculated. It is necessary to maintain military strength and prevent consumption too fast. In any way, the guards are better than Under the circumstances of Wu Jun's losses and difficulties, Nie Kong decided to temporarily give up his plan to go straight to the capital and attack Suzhou, which is known as the northern granary of the imperial court.

The capture of Suzhou can not only ensure its own worry-free follow-free succession, but also can cut off the supply of food and fodder in more than ten prefectures and counties in the north of the imperial court. Even if they can still ask for help from Kyoto, the time and cost of transportation will be greatly increased, and time will often reverse the war situation. Nie Kong, who is proficient in military strategy, is not clear. The first worry is that the city of Suzhou is strong, and it is located in the protection of the four states of Jing, He, Pu and Lin. There are the most taboo worries of soldiers. If they can't take it quickly, the army is bound to fall into the heavy encirclement of the four states, which can be said to be extremely dangerous.

Of course, even if you attack Suzhou, you may be surrounded by the efforts of the four states. However, at this time, the grain and fodder of the four states have been cut off, and the military spirit must be unstable. The siege station not only does not take any advantage of the four states, but also accelerates the collapse of the armies. Therefore, quick take is the key to victory.

Nie Kong thought for a long time, and a bold plan slowly formed in his mind, but the time did not come. If it was colder, it would be easier to succeed. Therefore, he deliberately slowed down the speed of propulsion and set a policy of horizontally attacking Baishuidu under Linzhou. Baishuidu is just a small county, and its loss is Linzhou. It doesn't matter, but what Nie Kong looks at is obviously its geographical location and the effect it can achieve to disturb the enemy's sight.

The army moved horizontally for only three days, and the letter from the king of Wu had reached the barracks. In the letter, he questioned why Nie Kong did not speed up the offensive in the direction of Kyoto. Instead, he delayed the time in some small prefectures and counties. Is it possible that he wanted to swallow the city and plunder the land and divide the land? When Nie Kong saw the letter, he smiled contemptuously. The news spread so quickly. This was all thanks to the fact that on the surface was the king of Wu who was in line with their allied army. He was also a fierce general in the imperial court, but he turned to the king of Wu early and was so determined. In addition to full of contempt, Nie Kong also secretly guarded against him, so he attacked Nie Kong did not tell Yan Bie the real intention of Bai Shuidu, but the movement of the army could not be concealed. Nie Kong did not need to guess. He knew what Yan Bei would say in the secret report to the king of Wu.

The anxiety of the King of Wu is not unreasonable. Now it is a situation of heroes in troubled times. The strength of the army is mostly by attacking the city and plundering the land. The King of Wu knows very well that if the strength of the guards is getting stronger and stronger, it will be more and more difficult to clean up. That's why he urged Nie Kong to take the capital directly. Nie Kong originally intended to disturb the enemy's sight. Unexpectedly, he confused the King of Wu, and he felt even more funny in his heart. He just threw the letter aside and ignored it.

The king of Wu may also write to the king of Wei to accuse this matter, but the greatest advantage of Nie Kong's leadership is that with his qualifications, the king of Wei said that he would not be ordered by the foreign emperor, and the king of Wu could only do nothing, but Nie Kong did not want to let it go easily. If he did not give Yan Bei a little color, he would really think that the guard It's a humbly character.

Yan Be not to be invited to the middle of the account, but he saw Nie Kong's cold face and didn't say a word. He also ignored his arrival. He had roughly figured out what had happened. He immediately smiled and pretended to be confused and said, "General Nie, our army's war is going well. General Nie should be happy. Why is it so serious? Is it the general's department? Is it offensive to the military commander?"

"Humph!" Nie Kong did not answer, and only threw the letter of the King of Wu to Yan Bei coldly. The letter fell at Yan Bei's feet. Yan Bei glanced at it, picked up the letter, brushed the dust on the envelope, raised his eyebrows and said to Nie Kong, "What's wrong with you and me? Although you and I are our own masters, the king of Wu is at least a royal noble, and you, the King of Wei is a brother. You Wu Wang's handwritten letters are thrown around, which is too disrespectful to us, King Wu!"

"Good to say!" Nie Kong answered in a low voice, "Since you know that we are each their own masters, you should know that in my eyes, there is only one Lord, that is, the king of my family, the king of Wei, who is willing to support Wu Fa Lou, which is precisely in the affection of brothers and sisters who are the Zhuo family. Otherwise, you can look at the world and see that those who support themselves as kings and become the country are everywhere. With the status of the king of my family, why do I need to join forces with you? Ten thousand steps back and say, even if the king of my guard is open-minded and willing to be led by you, the king of Wu, but after all, Nie is the guard. How to fight and where to fight? It's not your turn, Wu Bing, right? General Yan, the reason why I waved my master Linzhou Baishuidu is that I naturally have my plan. If you don't know, you can come and ask the business, but you don't come to ask or talk to the business, but report to the king of Wu behind the background. What's the matter?"
