Chapter 4: Die with dignity!
Everyone has something on their mind. Even if they were allowed to drink and have fun, they would not be able to get high.
If Empress Dowager Xia was still here, they would have to make the scene lively and seek pleasure and avoid worries for Empress Dowager Xia.
But facing Ying Chengyu?
It’s enough to live up to my reputation.
So after only half an hour, all the subordinates pretended to be drunk and retired.
Facing the empty main hall, Ying Chengyu drank all his wine, got up and walked to the backyard a little desolately.
As soon as he stepped through the courtyard gate, Ying Chengyu saw more than ten women standing in the courtyard.
The woman at the head is dressed in gorgeous clothes, has a plump figure, fair skin, and a cool temperament. She is about 1.7 meters tall.
Behind the maids with an average height of less than 1.6 meters, she looks like a tall and cold giantess!
Even outsiders can clearly tell that this woman must be a prominent figure in the back house.
Because she completely satisfies the aesthetics of the old Qin people.
Tall is beautiful, big is good!
Ying Chengyu quickened his pace and asked with a warm smile:
"Is the mother concubine admiring the moon?"
This woman is Ying Chengyu’s biological mother, Mrs. Han!
Mrs. Han forced a smile:
“It’s a pity that there are dark clouds covering the sky tonight, so there is no moon to enjoy.”
“Xiao’er, follow me.”
Then Mrs. Han looked to the left and right and commanded in a deep voice:
"You guys will guard each door."
"No one is allowed to enter without notification!"
A group of maids immediately bowed and agreed:
"Wei!"
Ying Chengyu followed Mrs. Han into the study. When he opened the door, he saw a pair of armor hanging on a wooden shelf.
At a glance, Ying Chengyu knew that this was definitely not Da Qin's armor.
Da Qin's current standard general armor is mainly made of leather, with about 160 pieces of bronze nail plates on it to provide protection for the chest, back, crotch and shoulders.
Although the armor in front of you is also made of leather armor, it uses smaller iron armor pieces, with the number reaching more than 800 pieces. It not only increases the protection of the heart, lungs and flanks, but also uses smaller pieces of iron armor. At the same time, the small armor pieces also provide higher flexibility, but because of the use of iron pieces, the total weight is not much heavier than the Great Qin General's Armor.
Behind the armor is a halberd about 3 meters long.
Also different from the Qin army's joint bronze halberd, the head of this halberd is forged from fine iron, and the head and the shaft are connected with a cap, which is similar to the long halberd of the Western Han Dynasty. Not much difference anymore.
More reliable or second best, the key is handsome!
Ying Cheng's eyes showed surprise: "Is this a gift from my mother and concubine?"
Mrs. Han smiled and nodded: "I wrote to my father last year when the Queen Mother Xia was seriously ill. , ask the master craftsman of Yiyang Iron Works to help you forge a suit of armor and a handy weapon."
"This set of armor and this halberd were just delivered to Chang'an Township a few days ago."< br>
Mrs. Han’s tone was a little more sad:
"I never thought that it would come in handy just a few days after it was delivered."
Ying Cheng was a little surprised: "When the Queen Mother Xia was seriously ill, the mother-in-law was already preparing armor for the child?"< br>
Mrs. Han explained softly: "When the Queen Mother Xia passes away, you and I, mother and son, will be a thorn in everyone's side."
"But after all, you are the son of the late king, and you are cautious in your words. If they want to cause trouble, they will attack you."
"Whether you fight or flee, you need armor to protect yourself."
Ying Chengyu was even more surprised.
Mrs. Han only had a few strokes in the history books, and in Ying Chengyuan’s feelings, besides reading books, planting flowers, and making women’s flowers every day, Mrs. Han only told Ying Chengyang to stay safe and live a low-key life. , not participating in the power struggle at all.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Han's political sense is not weak, and is even somewhat more sensitive than that of Han Cang and others.
Immediately, Ying Chengyu was stunned again.
After all, Mrs. Han is the daughter of King Huanhui of Han. She has been growing up in a deep palace since she was a child. She has been immersed in the struggle for power and gain. It would be absurd for her to know nothing about political struggles.
Mrs. Han's long-standing stay away from the situation may be just another way of fighting.
Let’s fight instead of fighting!
After adjusting her mentality, Mrs. Han smiled.
“Come on, let me put it on for you!”
Ying Chengyu also put aside his thoughts and responded obediently. "Hey!"
With the help of Mrs. Han, Ying Chengyu quickly put on the armor.
He picked up the halberd and danced it a few times, and Ying Chengyu couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
“No wonder Su Qin praised Korean ironware.”
“It’s really excellent!”
Korean iron tools and crossbows have always been the best in the world.
There is no way, who allowed South Korea to sit on the largest iron ore in the world? If it has resources, it is arrogant!
The smile on Mrs. Han’s face became a little richer:
“Even if you have excellent armor, don’t show off.”
Help Ying Chenglong After tidying up her armor, Mrs. Han seriously warned:
"Lu Buwei is a great talent in the world. His intelligence and strategy are superior to all of us. We can't defeat him."
"After the expedition, you can lead your army to the border of Qin and South Korea. Once you find a flaw, you can immediately leave the camp and flee. "
"South Korea will have reinforcements to respond."
Mrs. Han gave Ying Chengyu the same choice and fled to her mother country.
Ying Chengyu told him frankly:
"Mother, I will not flee to another country."
Mrs. Han did not persuade her much, but just gave another way:
"Then delay!"
"You can lead your army through Tunliu and enter Zhao. Tunliu is your fief. You can garrison troops and wait for a turnaround."
This method was originally the countermeasure adopted by Ying Chengyu in history.
So Ying Chengyu immediately shook his head:
"Lu Buwei will not tolerate me for too long."
"He will definitely use tricks to frame me for rebellion, and then send an army to encircle and suppress me!"
Mrs. Han looked at Ying Chengyu with complicated eyes, and said solemnly:
"If it really comes to that situation, even if my son dies, he must die with dignity. Don't fall into the trap of the late king. ”
"My concubine will also go with you, don't be afraid!"
Ying Chengyu comforted her warmly:
"My concubine, things may not necessarily develop to that point."
"The child will do his best to survive, but there are some things that require the help of the mother and concubine."
"One is that the mother and concubine are needed to help the child stabilize Han Cang and others."
"My child has second thoughts about Sun Xi. If Sun Xi and others stab my child in the back after my child goes to war, my child will definitely be defeated!"
Seeing that Ying Chengyun has his own ideas, Mrs. Han did not hesitate. He nodded and promised:
"It should be like this."
Ying Chengyu spoke again: "Secondly, I hope that my mother and concubine can write to the main officials in various counties and counties in South Korea and the important ministers in the DPRK. Letter for help.”
Mrs. Han was stunned: “All?”
Although there are only three counties left in South Korea, there are a lot of officials.
If you wrote a letter asking for help to every major official in the local and imperial court, you would have to write at least thousands of letters!
This is not an easy job.
Ying Chengyu nodded sheepishly: "Everyone."
Mrs. Han glared at Ying Chengyu in an angry and funny way:
"Are you a concubine who will serve as a sword and pen official in the army?"
"Thousands of letters asking for help, I'm afraid you don't want to tire the concubine to death!"
"If you really ask for help, the concubine will give it to the king. Brother, just write a letter, why bother writing thousands of letters? "
"And so many letters leaving Neishi County will definitely arouse Lu Buwei's precautions!"
Ying Chengxuan! Explain in a low voice:
"These letters for help do not need to be sent out now, let alone to seek reinforcements."
"Haier believes that the key to whether the boy can survive this difficulty lies in South Korea."
"So the child needs to borrow the name of his mother and concubine to get the cooperation of the officials in various counties and counties in Korea!"
