Four days later, the army led by Nian Yun arrived outside Tongcheng.
She did not attack Tongcheng immediately, nor did she send someone to Tongcheng to lobby Heshuo Wang and others. Instead, she chose a place where it was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and made a decision when the big troops came.
But she's not idle.
In the camp.
Nian Yun was reading the letters from the emperor's capital. The emperor took a wind from time to time. Every time the emperor draws wind, there will always be some innocent palace people died miserably.
Everything else is going on as planned.
"Princess." Zhu Cui came in and saluted, "it's done as you ordered. The follow-up food and grass will be sent one after another. I just don't know how long this battle will last. "
Nianyun did not lift his head: "how long can I fight? When Gu Junyan arrives, Tongcheng will become a piece of tofu. Did you find out who did it for the emperor? "
"Back to the princess, not yet. Maidservant is worried, and Shuo Wang and others to Tongcheng people coerce us. We are not ruthless people who do not care about the lives of the people. In that case, the war will drag on. "
Nianyun didn't think about these things: "as long as we can solve the problem of Heshuo king and the abandoned prince as soon as possible, the rest of the people will be out of the way. Tell the people in Tongcheng not to do anything for the time being to avoid exposing themselves. "
"Yes, princess."
Gu pingkang and Gu Junchen seem to be unaware of the danger, that is, the army is coming down the city. Uncle and nephew still have fun all day, and they don't take the advice of the counselors to heart.
After a few days, Gu Jun led the vanguard.
All the officers and men did not care to have a rest. They immediately discussed in the main camp how to attack Tongcheng in the shortest time.
Suddenly, a shrill scream cut through the barracks.
Nian Yun and Gu Junyan took a look at each other and led the soldiers to walk quickly.
"That's the direction of grain and grass!" Some soldiers exclaimed: "the grain and grass are on fire!"
I saw that the direction of storing grain and grass, the fire burst into the sky, dyed half of the sky red.
Gu Junyan's heart is slightly heavy, calm calm command way: "general Yan, you take people to put out the fire.". Yunyun, I'll leave the details to you and the rest to me. "
"Yes Nianyun and others went to do their own business after the ceremony.
When Yan Yongfu brought people to put out the fire, the fire was too big for people to come near.
The fire dragon is sweeping all around, and its ferocious appearance is frightening.
He sniffed, the smell
After one or two hours of fighting, the soldiers finally saved less than one sixth of the original grain and grass, which led to some low morale.
Food and grass are related to the survival of soldiers and horses. Without food and grass, we can only starve. No one expected that this would happen when the army arrived.
Nian Yun slapped: "don't worry, the follow-up food will be here soon. We need to keep our spirits up. The more we are at this time, the more we need to cheer up. We can't let the enemy's treachery succeed. "
After listening to the follow-up food and grass, the soldiers will soon arrive. They will feel better and no longer worry that they will be hungry.
Gu Junyan negative hand in the incident to turn several circles, a careful look at the ground burning, and the residue of coke ash.
Yan Yongfu asked all the soldiers to spread out. Don't surround here, just do what they should, leaving behind the soldiers and nianyun who were guarding the grain and grass.
"Lord." He saluted and said: "when putting out the fire, Mo Jiang smelled the smell of wine. The fire will burn so fast, mostly because someone spilled wine on the grain and grass. But, who can sneak in and not be found? "
Gu Junyan looks at the soldiers guarding the grain and grass lightly.
Several soldiers knelt on the ground, trembling.
"Lord, we don't know what's going on. All of a sudden All of a sudden, it caught fire
"Before the fire, I smelled a smell of alcohol. I didn't care much about who was stealing it. I didn't find the grass on fire until someone called out that it was on fire. "
"Is someone missing? Who's the quiet one? Is he gone? "
"Yes, yes! I didn't even find out if you didn't say it. What's his name again? He's not only dumb, we don't even know his name. "
Gu Junyan looks at Yan Yongfu.
Yan Yongfu immediately went to investigate the missing soldier.
Gu Junyan asked some more questions and went back to camp with Nian Yun.
"What do you think of the fire?"
Nianyun took a sip of tea and said, "it's obvious that someone's cheating. Tens of thousands of soldiers, it is impossible not to elaborate. But the key is how to evade the search of you and me, hide in the soldiers guarding the grain and grass, cooperate with others, burn the grain and grass, and escape in chaos. "
"Yunyun, your majesty may have been involved in this matter."
"Gu Junyan, do you mean that in order to solve the problem of us and King Heshuo and others, the emperor intentionally sent people to burn the grain and grass, causing the instability of the army?"
Gu Junyan said in a deep voice: "since your majesty appointed you as the pioneer, I have a guess. In principle, it is not necessary to start a war this time. As long as the king Heshuo and the crown prince are solved, the rest will be solved. Your majesty, however, insists on going his own way to war. There are many problems in it. ""In this way, we are under attack. If you are not careful, you will become a turtle in a jar. " She didn't expect that, but she didn't expect that the emperor would do it so quickly: "next, what are you going to do?"
"Did yunyun find out the situation of Tongcheng?"
Nianyunxi said: "it seems that King Heshuo and the crown prince are not worried. Actually, there are several dark guards and demagogues around them to protect them. It's difficult for us to take their heads. I guess King Heshuo will deal with us with demagogues and demagogues. We can deal with demagogues and demagogues, but the generals and men can't deal with them. "
Gu Junyan took this into consideration: "first, we spread special powder around the barracks. Wait to find out the number of demagogues possessed by Heshuo king, and then proceed to the next step. "
"This is the best." Nianyun suddenly said, "Gu Junyan, let's sleep in separate beds."
Gu Junyan's aggrieved face: "yunyun, why? We're husband and wife, and there's no reason to sleep in separate beds when we're on the March. "
Nianyun snorted: "I can't see you pretending to be wronged. I said to sleep in separate beds. If you don't agree, it's the same There is impatience in her tone: "I still have something to do. You can come to me if you have something. Don't disturb me if you have nothing."
Gu Junyan's eyes are deep. Yunyun is not right recently. In the past, she would not do this to him, nor would she be really impatient with him.
Is yunyun tired of him?
He touched his still smooth face. He was four years older than yunyun, and he was not very old. There was no communication barrier between them, and they didn't quarrel.
Can it be that the passion between husband and wife is gone?
It seems that I haven't taken yunyun anywhere for a long time.
After that, he would take her around to enhance the relationship between husband and wife, never let the passion between them disappear.
And read cloud is an inexplicable shiver, to change the sky?
