Chapter 1162 Controlling People's Hearts
Yu Wenye said coldly: "Not every family is like yours, where brothers and sisters love each other and respect each other."
Shang Ruyi turned to look at him.
Of course she could tell that Yu Wenye and Shen Wuzheng were definitely having trouble, but in addition to resentment, there seemed to be a bit of acrimony and sadness in this sentence. And as if in response to his words, just as the two of them were walking out while talking, they saw a figure walking towards them, it was Shen Wuzheng.
Shang Ruyi was surprised and happy: "Brother."
As soon as he saw her, a smile immediately appeared on Shen Wuzheng's face.
Compared to the others, he really didn’t sleep a wink all night. He didn’t return to his barracks until dawn. He only changed his clothes and freshened up, so as soon as he was welcomed When Shang Ruyi went up, he saw his eyes full of red bloodshot eyes. Even though he smiled happily when he saw him, that smile could not conceal his tiredness.
But, it is happy.
Last night, Shen Wuzheng did not come to meet her. He only glanced at her from a distance to make sure that she was safe and sound. There were no scars on her face from being injured by the green silk as Shi Yuxin said. Just relax and go about your business. After a whole night, he finally arranged for the 80,000 surrendered troops, including some generals that he was not confident about, and it was only now that he was free to meet her.
He whispered: "Little sister..."
Just after he finished speaking, he seemed to remember something. He raised his head to meet Yu Wenye's unhappy gaze, and then raised his hand to salute the two of them: "Greetings to His Highness King Qin, and hello to the Princess."
Shang Ruyi hurriedly I helped him up and looked at his red eyes again, feeling heartbroken: "Brother, your eyes are red..." You must be very tired."
Shen Wuzheng shook his head with a smile: "Not tired."
After saying that, before Shang Ruyi could ask any more questions, he said softly: "I know Xiao. Yuan Sui doesn't dare to hurt you, but has he ever treated you poorly?"
Yu Wenye glanced at him.
Shang Ruyi shook his head quickly, probably knowing that this problem must have tortured his brother for a long time, and assured him loudly: "He didn't treat me badly, maybe he wanted to use me to blackmail you, so he always eats and drinks well, right?" Me."
"Then, she is Green Xiao. ——"
"We were just acting, she didn't really hurt me; just this, I probably won't see it in two days."
Say it, she turned her face to the side. Showing it to Shen Wuzheng, he saw only a faint, invisible scar at the base of his ear. For men, especially those who went to the battlefield, this was not even considered an injury. However, Shen Wuzheng could not help but frown. After all, after Shang Ruyi's repeated assurances, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay. , It’s okay.”
After saying that, he looked at Shang Ruyi again, and frowned again after seeing her clothes clearly.
Dressed like this, it was obvious that she was going out.
So he raised his head and looked at Yu Wenye: "His Royal Highness King Qin, this is-"
Seeing that the two people were about to confront each other, Shang Ruyi was afraid that if they said something wrong, there would be unpleasantness. , said hurriedly: "Brother, I want to follow him to Luoyang."
Shen Wuzheng's eyebrows frowned more tightly.
Ever since he learned that Shang Ruyi personally led his troops to leave Chang'an to relieve the siege of Xiazhou, and was captured by the enemy in Huyang Valley, his heart has always been like a knife. Now he finally rescued her. She came out, but she only had peace for one night. The two of them didn't even have time to talk properly, and she had to go to Luoyang again. The war there was still undecided. What if she encountered danger again?
The sword has no eyes on the battlefield. No one can guarantee that he will escape unscathed, let alone her?
Just when Shen Wuzheng wanted to persuade her, Yu Wenye's faint voice sounded: "I have already persuaded her, if you think your words can be more effective than mine..."
< br>Shen Wuzheng raised his head and looked at him. The eyes of the two men met like swords.
Shang Ruyi’s scalp felt numb at the sight.
She considered herself not a timid person. Even if she was captured by Xiao Yuansui and taken into the enemy camp, she had never been as uneasy as she was at this moment. However, Yu Wenye's words did not sound like an explanation, but more like a provocation. Yes, she turned around and glared at him, then immediately leaned into Shen Wuzheng's ear and whispered a few words.
After hearing this, Shen Wuzheng's frowned brows still didn't relax, but he didn't say anything more.
I just looked at Shang Ruyi worriedly for a long time, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, and then said: "No matter what, you must be careful. Protecting yourself is more important than winning the battle."
Shang Ruyi smiled and said: "I know."
Yu Wenye silently looked away from the side with a cold expression.
Then Shen Wuzheng looked up at him again and said in a deep voice: "The troops His Highness King Qin wants to take away are already waiting outside the pass and are ready to leave at any time."
Yu Wenye said: "Yes."
Without saying much, he walked forward with his hands behind his back. Shang Ruyi smiled at Shen Wuzheng, and the group followed him out of the fort.
After a while, they came out of Hulao Pass, and sure enough, they saw a large group of soldiers already lined up outside, with flags hunting and war horses neighing. The grand occasion was nothing, but it was still packed with people. Shang Ruyi made a rough estimate and found that Yu Wenye most likely led more than 20,000 people south to Luoyang this time. However, what surprised her was that the vast majority of the more than 20,000 men were actually Xiao Yuansui's subordinates who had just surrendered yesterday!
One of the leaders was Shi Yutao.
At this time, someone brought a horse to them. Without saying a word, Shang Ruyi got on the horse with Yu Wenye. Wuxue, Shantonger and others who were accompanying them also got on the horse and followed them. Shang Ruyi saw this clearly. Configuration, after thinking about it, I couldn’t help but asked softly: "Isn’t this going to cause problems?"
Yu Wenye said: "What?"
Shang Ruyi lowered his voice a little lower: "These are the people you just captured yesterday, and their hearts have not yet been completely appeased. Just take them to fight? "
What if these people have other ideas and rebel?
Thinking of this, she looked around again and found that Xiao Yuansui was not among those going out for the expedition. Apparently Yu Wenye was still wary of him, not only keeping him, but also Shen Tutai. . Whether it is to deal with these surrendered troops or to suppress Xiao Yuansui, you can rest assured that Shen Tutai is here to take charge.
However, it is too dangerous to lead the newly surrendered soldiers into battle...
Seeing Shang Ruyi's worried look, Yu Wenye chuckled lightly, looked back, and then said: "I really haven't yet." Soothe them."< br>
“Then how did you——”
“But I have figured out where they are coming from.”
“Where are they coming from?” These two words made Shang Ruyi confused. Confused: "What do you mean?"
Yu Wenye said: "These are all the soldiers and horses that Xiao Yuansui brought from Luoyang City when he went north."
"Oh...?"
Shang Ruyi opened his eyes slightly. , think about it again, and immediately understand.
These were all taken away from Luoyang by Xiao Yuansui. In other words, they are all locals of Luoyang. Their family members and assets are all in Luoyang City. When they followed Xiao Yuansui northward, they naturally obeyed his orders. They act in order to seek wealth and honor, but now that they have defeated Hulao Pass, these people just want to return home safely. But if someone wants to destroy Luoyang City and destroy everything there, how can they not fight tooth and nail?
Yu Wenye took advantage of this and determined that they would fight hard for him.
Between generals and soldiers, war is used to unite people's hearts. After experiencing the same battle, they can conquer these people faster than the various actions to appease people's hearts on weekdays.
Shang Ruyi sighed in his heart - good strategy.
Yu Wenye is brave and good at fighting and proficient in military strategy. This is his ability as a general. He can accurately control people's hearts and thus control the situation and the current situation. This is no ordinary general.
He is destined to reach a higher position than General Tiance and the King of Qin.
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi felt a sudden movement in her chest, as if her heart was about to jump out. She instinctively reached out and pressed her chest. Fortunately, Yu Wenye did not notice this. He leaned down and said a few words to Shen Tutai, then glanced at Shen Wuzheng standing next to him, thought for a moment, and then said: "Shen joins the army."
Shen Wuzheng also took a step forward: "What are your orders, Your Highness?"
Shen Tutai glanced at them both, smiled bitterly and took a step back.
Actually, he could see that the relationship between the two had eased a bit before. Unexpectedly, as soon as the princess came back, the two of them would somehow get along again. There was obviously no conflict - of course, fortunately, There's really no contradiction.
Yu Wenye said: "Over there in Luoyang, it will take up to five days. Here -"
"Your Highness, please rest assured."
Before Yu Wenye could finish speaking, Shen Wuzheng seemed to understand his thoughts and whispered: "Xiao Yuansui is under control of all his actions."
Yu Wenye looked at him and nodded gently. nodded.
They did not imprison this person, not even under house arrest, because to deal with such a thoughtful person, the method of detaining under house arrest is completely useless, but will arouse his resistance. ; At the same time, Yu Wenye's trip to take nearly 20,000 Luoyang soldiers was not just for Luoyang, because Xiao Yuansui had previously led five soldiers Thousands of people marched north. These are his direct descendants. After the casualties in yesterday's battle and those who escaped, there are only so many left. Now that these people have left, most of the remaining ones were brought down from Hebei. People, that is, soldiers and horses of the Shi family, these people listen to Shi Yuxin more, but Shi Yutao was taken away by Yu Wenye again, so Shi Yuxin naturally did not dare to act rashly.
With one movement, Yu Wenye cut off all Xiao Yuansui's escape routes.
As long as Shen Wuzheng can stabilize him, Yu Wenye can feel completely at ease and deal with things in Luoyang.
Now that he heard what he said, Yu Wenye nodded slightly, then straightened up, glanced at the neatly lined up people and horses behind him, and raised his hand: "Let's go!"
With one order, the two men A team of more than 10,000 people followed him out of Hulao Pass and marched toward Luoyang.
