Chapter 1067 It’s just the right time
One day later, when Yu Wencheng and Shang Shoufei led their army eastward from Cijian, they just arrived at the entrance of the west valley and saw the foot of the mountain in front of them in the distance. Many of the originally lush forests have been cut down , a large open space was vacated, and a shadow appeared in the large open space, like a large haze cast by the dark clouds in the sky overhead
Looking closer, it turned out to be a huge infantry team, with flags hunting. , the war horse neighs.
Everyone was startled, especially the war horses under them, which were extremely sensitive. They noticed the powerful chilling air in the wind blowing in front of them, and many horses neighed uneasily. He shook his head and snorted.
“Calm down!”
Yu Wencheng, who was walking in front, was more calm and composed. He raised his hand to calm everyone's panic, then shook the reins and walked forward for a while. He immediately saw clearly that the flag held high by the army in front was none other than his second brother. , the red and white crimson-white flag used by King Yu Wenye of Qin.
As soon as he saw the flag clearly, his face suddenly darkened.
At the same time, two men and horses walked out from the team, followed by several soldiers. After a while, they walked in front of him. These two people looked familiar. It was Yuwen Ye. Mu Xian and Cheng Qiao were his subordinates.
The two men were riding on horses, bowing their hands to Yu Wencheng and saluting: "Greetings to His Royal Highness King Qi."
Yu Wencheng was displeased: "Why are you here?"
Mu Xian said: "We were ordered by His Highness the King of Qin to attack Luoyang. When I heard that His Highness the King of Qi was coming to help, we were so happy that we came here to see you."
Yu Wencheng sank when he heard this. Face, he is from the Dasheng Dynasty after all His Royal Highness the King of Qi is also the chief military officer of Henan Province who was conferred by the emperor. It was his business to attack Luoyang. But now, Mu Xian and the others said that he was here to "help" and obviously kicked him away. They also wanted to seize this place in advance. The merits of the war.
So he immediately sneered and said: "I am the general manager of the marching army. I am fighting my own battle. Who should I help?"
Mu Xian said with a smile: "Your Highness, aren't you here to help? His Highness the King of Qin? A few days ago, if His Highness hadn't restrained thousands of soldiers and horses from Luoyang for King Qin at Cijian, how could King Qin have swept through the Eastern Capital and captured all the eight cities? "
Yu Wencheng's expression? It's a bit uglier.
He was defeated a few days ago and was forced to huddle in Cijian. Yu Wenye took advantage of Liang Shide's army to attack Cijian and wanted to capture him. He fought everywhere and captured several of the eight passes in Luoyang. This was not his intention. Helping is a last resort; but if he does not express his feelings for helping each other, then he will only be left with the shame of defeat.
Hearing these words, the generals behind Yuwen Cheng all showed angry expressions.
On the battlefield, the bravery of the soldiers and the results of victory are the most important. However, Yuwen Cheng was too hasty and rushed in his trip, and was defeated in one blow. The greatest "accomplishment" was what Mu Xian and the others just said. "Help", in this case, even if you know that the other party is here to take credit, you can't say anything harsh.
Mu Xian then said: "While we are waiting for His Highness here, we have cut down many large trees here to build siege ladders. When we attack the city, we would like to ask His Highness's people to cooperate more. ”
Yu Wencheng’s face turned even more ugly.
At this moment, another rider slowly walked up behind him. It was Zhaowu captain Shang Shoufei. He looked at these two people, and then smiled and said: "With the help of two people, His Highness King Qi will attack this time." Cheng Ye must be getting twice the result with half the effort. However, I still have a little thing to ask you two." When facing him, both Mu Xian and Cheng Qiao showed strange expressions.
Of course they know that this person is the brother of Princess Qin, but he has followed the path of the prince since he entered the officialdom. He also served as the guard of the East Palace before, which caused a lot of trouble for King Qin. , and then seeing the expression on his face that seemed to be a fake smile mask, both of them felt a trace of displeasure in their hearts, and couldn't help but put it on their faces.
Mu Xiandao: "What's the matter?"
Shang Shoufei smiled and said: "I heard a few days ago that my little sister - oh, I should say Princess Qin, I heard that she went to I went to Xiazhou, is there any problem?”
Mu Xian said: "It is true." "Now that the crisis in Xiazhou has been resolved, how is Princess Qin doing now?"
"..."
" Didn't you send someone to look for it? "
Hearing this, Mu Xian's face darkened again.
After learning that Shang Ruyi did not return to Chang'an that day, he had been thinking about this matter. It was also obvious that King Qin was very worried. However, now that the war was imminent, they could not devote all their energy to Princess Qin. So no more people were sent to look for it.
But this matter has always weighed on their hearts like a big stone.
Now that Shang Shoufei was mentioned, and he was mentioned as the brother of Princess Qin, the two of them were speechless.
After hearing Shang Shoufei's words, Yu Wencheng immediately came to his senses and sneered: "You two, how do you do things? How do my second brother do things? His own princess is living abroad. , he actually didn’t send people to look for it, and even bothered to let you come here to attack Luoyang. Doesn’t he know that Liang Shide’s forces are all around Luoyang? If he catches my second sister-in-law——”
Mu Xian and Cheng Qiao looked at each other.
Their words were already a complete threat, not threatening their Shang Ruyi's safety, but using Shang Ruyi's safety to condemn them in the future. But Mu Xian also said respectfully: "What King Qi said is reasonable, but we I just took the order to attack Luoyang. As for other matters, King Qin will be in peace. "
Yuwen Cheng said: "It's best for him."
"..."
"Otherwise, if he can't even protect his wife, he will take it. What is a foothold in the military?”
“……”
"What are you taking? Go back and explain to the subjects of the Dasheng Dynasty."
After saying that, he sneered, shook the reins and spurred his horse forward, with Shang Shoufei and others following behind him. Mu Xian and Cheng Qiao's expressions became more solemn, but at this time they had no choice but to follow them worriedly.
The next day, the battle to attack Luoyang officially began.
And just as they set up ladders and led their troops towards the strong and towering Luoyang City, in front of Hulao Pass a hundred miles away, Yu Wenye listened to the roaring and rolling sound of the Yellow River. Hearing hurried footsteps approaching, he looked back and saw that they were the scouts sent out two days ago to find out the news. The man came forward and kowtowed to him and saluted: "Your Highness!"
Yu Wenye said: "How?"
The scout said: "We found out that Xiao Yuansui led 120,000 troops, heading south from Leshou and approaching Hulao Pass!"
Yu Wenye's eyes immediately became sharp and he stepped forward. Step one: "Where are they now?"
The scout Said: "We are almost to Liyang."
"Liyang..."
Hearing this, Yu Wenye slowly raised his head, facing the setting sun, his eyes revealed Bone-piercing cold light: "It's just the right time."
