General Yu Ling

When it was time for lunch, Nie Liancheng finally woke up. She sat up in a daze, and glanced at the window. The sun was shining outside the window. Nie Liancheng felt her eyes hurt a little. She got out of bed and walked to the window in a few steps , Push open the window.

Downstairs there was a lot of traffic, people were coming and going, smoke was rising from the kitchen, shouts and shouts could be heard, and the breakfast stalls were already closed, "What time is it..." Nie Liancheng was a little dazed.

After she got dressed and washed, she walked out the door and stopped a passerby, "What time is it?"

The man gave her a strange look, "It's noon."

Nie Liancheng let go of his hand in a daze, how could he have slept until now, and the sun is so bright... There is a problem, there is definitely a problem!A light flashed in Nie Liancheng's mind, Nie Wucheng!It must be Nie Wucheng's trick!

She angrily ran to kick Nie Wucheng and Shao Yu's door, "Nie Wucheng! Nie Wucheng! Come out, do you hear me! Nie Wucheng! You bastard! Nie..."

Shao Yu opened the door and made a hissing gesture to Nie Liancheng, "Liancheng, don't disturb him, he is annoying to death now, something serious happened!"

Nie Liancheng put her hands on her hips, "Hmph, what can happen..."

"Zhennan Wang Jichang rebelled, come in and say." Shao Yu pulled Nie Liancheng in and closed the door.

Nie Liancheng couldn't believe her ears, "Treason?!"

Shao Yu's face is also not good-looking, "I just got the news this morning that Zhennan Wang Jichang rebelled in his land and forced him to come to the capital. The news has not spread yet, I'm afraid there will be people in the afternoon." Everyone knows."

"Is he crazy!" Nie Liancheng spread his hands, "He is the emperor's own brother, why did he rebel!"

"It's a premeditated plan. It just so happens that the general is not in the capital, and the King of Zhennan just obtained the military power order of the Zhennan Army from the emperor a few days ago, so he took this opportunity to take down Nanling in one fell swoop." Shao Yu explained. .

"Now the general is dealing with military affairs urgently, and he will leave later."

"Going back to the capital?" Nie Liancheng asked.

"No, it's going to Chunan. Chunan is the only way from Chuanchuan to the capital, which is the boundary of King Zhennan. It is also the throat of Nanling's grain, grass and goods transportation. The general is going to lead his troops to defend there." Shao Yu responded. Worrying.

Nie Wucheng came out from the room with a serious face, looked at Nie Liancheng, "I'll send someone to send you back to the capital as soon as possible, don't delay."

Nie Liancheng stood up, "I want to go with you..."

Nie Wucheng looked at her sharply, "What are you going to do, add to the chaos? The situation is urgent and the matter is important. It's not the time for you to have fun. Now everyone is busy sharpening their heads. No one can take care of you. Let me go back !"

Nie Liancheng was so fierce that she couldn't utter a word, so she whispered, "...I see, I'll just go back."

Shao Yu patted Nie Wucheng, "General, well, Liancheng will go back, don't be so angry, go eat quickly, and go to Chunan after eating." Said, Shao Yu took Nie Wucheng out of the door , and then turned back to the room, "Liancheng, your brother is also worried about you. After all, the war is raging. If something happens to you, he will die of guilt."

Nie Liancheng lowered her head, "I know... I just wondered if I could help him..."

"Your brother understands you, but his words are too aggressive, so you don't have to take it to heart."

Nie Liancheng raised her head again, with a look of anticipation, "Shao Yu, you have to take good care of my brother when the time comes, after all, you are the only one around him now."

Shao Yu smiled and nodded, "I will definitely take good care of him. You don't have to worry. Go back and tell Mrs. Hou Ye to reassure them that the general will be fine. When the matter is resolved, they will all come back."

"Okay, I'll tell my parents."

Someone knocked on the door, "Miss, the general asked me to take you away."

Nie Liancheng responded, "I'm here." Turning to look at Shao Yu, "Shao Yu, I'm leaving, take care, and come back with my brother."

Shao Yu showed a helpless smile, "Liancheng, everything will be fine, you go, be careful on the road."

"Yes." Nie Liancheng turned around and left.

After she left, Shao Yu glanced at the bright and dazzling sunlight outside the window, wondering whether this peaceful and prosperous age will come, anyway, no matter what happens in the future, he will always be by the general's side.

Thinking of this, Shao Yu smiled in relief, then went downstairs to find Nie Wucheng.

Long Zu also just slept in his own room, stretched his waist, came out and saw Shao Yu, and said hello, "Morning."

Shao Yu calmly replied at noon when the sun was shining, "Good morning, senior."

When the two came downstairs together, they saw Nie Wucheng eating there, and Long Zule ran over happily, "Good boy, leave some for the old man."

Nie Wucheng glanced at him coolly, "Shut up, there will be business later."

Longzu ate the fish, and asked vaguely, "What's the matter..."

"It's not convenient to say now, you will know later."

"Oh." Takizu didn't care about that either.

After the three of them finished their meal, they didn't stay for a moment, and they rode horses to Chunan together with his men. Longzu was half-pushed to get on the horse.

Nie Wucheng adjusted the saddle, lowered his voice slightly, "King Zhennan rebelled."

"Rebellion... oh...rebellion?" Takizu opened his mouth wide in surprise.

Nie Wucheng kicked his horse, "Keep your voice down."

"I've lived most of my life, this is the first time I've seen a rebellion, it's interesting, really interesting, hahaha, I must go and see it."

Nie Wucheng stared at him coldly, "I didn't take you there for fun, you protect Shao Yu well, if something happens to him, I'll rip you off."

"Hey, since the old man eats and drinks for free with you, he won't stop helping you with things. Don't worry, the old man will protect that yellow-haired kid." Long Zu waved his hand.

"I hope you remember what you said."

Shao Yu rode over from behind, "General, let's go."

In order not to attract attention, everyone dispersed and went to Chunan separately.Nie Wucheng, Shao Yu, and Long Zu went forward together.

Takizu suddenly remembered something, and flirted with his white hair, "Just the few of us going to Chunan, can we bear it?"

Nie Wucheng remained silent and didn't want to pay attention to him. Shao Yu explained, "Senior, Wucheng has already ordered troops to go to Chunan, and he can come to Chunan to join us tomorrow morning."

"Oh." Long Zu nodded, "I see, how many soldiers and horses does King Zhennan have?"

"50 soldiers and horses."

"What about you?"

"One hundred thousand."

Longzu stroked his beard and almost pulled it off, he was dumbfounded, "Why are you so small? How do you beat me?"

"The imperial guards must strictly guard the capital and the imperial palace. They cannot come. The army of the Northwest is far outside the Great Wall. Not only will it take a lot of time to come, but it will be difficult for them to fight because they will be exhausted. Moreover, if they come to Chunan, in case there are enemies from outside the Great Wall. If you commit a crime, you are helpless, and the emperor gave Zhennan King the military power of the Zhennan Army, so now, there are only [-] troops that can be mobilized."

Long Zu was stunned when he heard this, "Why did the emperor give the military power to King Zhennan? Isn't this raising tigers to cause trouble?"

"King Zhennan and the emperor are brothers with the same mother and the same robe. They have always been respectful brothers and sisters. How could it be expected that King Zhennan suddenly turned his face and refused to recognize anyone?"

Long Zu gave two "tsk tsk", "No one can explain this royal matter, it's so messed up... Hey? I still don't know who that brat is, and I need him to calm it down. Rebellion?"

"He is a general, the current Northwest General of Nanling."

Longzu was taken aback, "He still has some background, he is still a general, so you are?"

Shao Yu paused, and said calmly, "I am his pen officer and his lover..."

Takizu nodded, "Ah, lovers... lovers?! You are all men, are you addicted to broken sleeves?"

"Ah."

Long Zu was full of emotions, "No wonder that brat protects you so much, I saw the habit of breaking sleeves when I was young... He must have forced you, how pitiful..."

Shao Yu rode on a horse and said seriously to Takizu, "It wasn't Wucheng who forced me, but I who forced him."

Longzu: "... You young people are really bolder than the other... This old man seems to be getting old."

Some of the boring journeys were just talking and laughing, but it was relatively easy. The three of them rushed to Chunan without stopping under the sun.

For dinner, they filled their stomachs with dry food and water. When Longzu complained, in the middle of the night, the three of them finally arrived at Chunan smoothly.

The local government in Chunan did not dare to neglect Nie Wucheng, and had already led people to wait outside the city for a long time.Nie Wucheng got off his horse, and someone next to him took the horse to graze and rest. Nie Wucheng took off his dusty robe and handed it to Shao Yu, telling him, "Go and rest first."

Shao Yu didn't say much, but nodded, "General, what do you want for supper?"

Nie Wucheng waved his hand, "No, I'm not hungry for the time being, I have to deal with the deployment of troops in Chunan, so I'm leaving first." Nie Wucheng came to Long Zu, "You take good care of Shao Yu, understand?"

"Understood, the old man will take care of me." Longzu was a little impatient.

Nie Wucheng and Chu Nan's prefect went to discuss the war, while others led Shao Yu and Long Zu to rest.Long Zu deliberately asked for a room adjacent to Shao Yu, "Hey, that brat has been admonishing and asking me to protect you well. If anything happens to you, he will beat me to the skin and cramps."

Shao Yu smiled a little shyly, "... Then I'll have to thank Senior."

"It's okay, it's okay, hurry up and get the news, in a few days, maybe you won't even be able to sleep."

The two went back to their rooms to rest.

And Nie Wucheng and Chu Nan Liu Taishou came to the meeting room, and everyone did not go to sleep, discussing the war nervously. After seeing Nie Wucheng coming, everyone saluted together, "Hello, general."

Nie Wucheng walked to the front of the sand table, "It is predicted that in three days, General Ji Chang's army will pass through Chunan. If Chunan is lost, not to mention the cargo transportation, a large area in the south will fall to Ji Chang. You are familiar with the terrain here, what countermeasures can you take? .”

Everyone looked at each other, and one of them said humanely, "General, Chunan is located at the mouth of a ravine, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It's just that we have too few troops to fight the rebel Ji Chang head-on. Set up an ambush on the ditch to wear down their strength, I'm afraid the disparity in strength will not last long."

"Indeed, but if the [-] troops are used properly, there may be some chances to stand with one of them." Although what Nie Wucheng said, everyone knows that these are words of comfort. Ji Chang is insidious and cunning, and he came prepared. If the strength of the army is the same, it is no problem to be led by Nie Wucheng.

But now there are only a mere [-] soldiers and horses, and the effect is only to delay some time. If there is no reinforcement, Chu Nan may not be able to stand it at all.Nie Wucheng is in a state of desperation, and the palace is like ants on a hot pot.

The current emperor Ji Tengxu and his wife Chu Yue were sleepless all night in the palace, Ji Tengxu was furious after getting the news, and scolded Ji Chang for being an ungrateful dog thief. Although the queen was also very flustered, she kept a gentle appearance to comfort Ji Tengxu , "Your Majesty, now that Nie Wucheng has gone, the situation should ease..."

Ji Tengxu slammed a teacup on the ground, and the eunuch outside hurried in to pack up the things. "What kind of relaxation can there be! Even if Nie Wucheng is a genius in using soldiers, he only has 10 people, just 10 people! Isn't this just like a mantis' arm as a car!"

Ji Tengxu gritted his teeth, "I sent people to Beiliang to ask them to send troops for reinforcements, but they took advantage of the fire and asked me to marry Shao Hua to them! It was in vain for my support to Beiliang in the past! Now that something happens, they will make trouble!"

Chu Yue didn't say anything more, but her face was full of sorrow.

Ji Yin was holding a bowl of soup. After listening to everything at the door, she lowered her head and couldn't see any expression. The maid beside her hesitated to speak. Ji Yin didn't push the door to enter, but just turned around and left with the soup.

Ji Yin returned to the palace and sat in the room in a daze. The maid was very anxious and stammered, "Princess... this, this... the emperor will not marry you to Beiliang, there must be something else." There is a way! The princess doesn't have to worry."

Ji Yin held his forehead and let out a wry smile, "But what can we do now, Nie Wu City only has [-] soldiers guarding Chunan, if there is no reinforcement... Brother Huang is in such a state of anxiety, what can I do, what else can I do Do it! Do you want me to watch Nanling be destroyed!"

Ji Yin's voice was choked with sobs, and the maid's eyes were red, "Yes, but Princess..."

Ji Yin slowly calmed down, "Brother Huang has loved me since childhood, and Nanling is also my homeland. I am the majestic princess of a country, and I must not just stand by so selfishly. I will ask Brother Huang to marry Beiliang tomorrow." Lord, call for reinforcements."

Ji Yin raised his head high, his eyes were firm, and a bleak smile appeared on the corners of his lips, just like the domineering and arrogant look he had at the beginning.

The maid fell to her knees with a "plop", crying uncontrollably.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for everyone.
