The Minister of the Ministry of war paid a personal visit to the merchant's residence. With the advice of the night breeze and a three inch tongue, he convinced several Confucian merchants to be willing to supply food to the court, but the vast majority of the merchants were still hesitating.
Feng Wanyi orders in secret, and sends spies to reveal their secrets to the merchants, reminding them to be careful of the imperial court.
As she had expected, the hesitant merchants united and proposed to the court that they should pay half of the silver first. That night, yelifeng was furious. On the same night, he sent the family members of the boss of the biggest rice shop in the capital to prison, and threatened them to persuade the merchants to surrender to the court.
At the same time, the war report of Qizhou spread to the capital, and the first reinforcements arrived in Qizhou were ambushed by the enemy. Five thousand elite soldiers were defeated, and more than half of them were killed and wounded. More than two thousand survivors were captured by yeluanhuang, and Qizhou was declared lost.
The successive defeat of the Chu army made the wait-and-see businessmen waver. Coupled with the threat of the imperial court, the public resentment spread quietly in Beijing.
In addition to the defeat of the reinforcements, the first supplies of grain and grass were cut off in Lianhua Mountain, and the soldiers and horses led by Lin's Navy were also ambushed in the middle of the road, causing heavy casualties.
"Pa"
the memorial fell to the ground suddenly. In the imperial study, eight civil and military officials holding their breath one after another, peeping at the angry young emperor on the Dragon chair with Yu Guang.
"How did ye Luan Huang know the route of our army? "Ah?" At night, the wind bared his eyes and asked, "only the important officials in the court know about this matter. Can he follow the wind?"
"Emperor," said the Minister of the Ministry of war in a hurry, trying to prove his innocence, "this is a serious matter. I dare not disclose any information to the outside world."
As soon as he opened his mouth, the rest of the courtiers hurriedly agreed, shouting injustice.
"If you didn't leak the news, who would it be?" The night breeze angrily asks a way, the eyes full of suspicion one by one sweep from each face.
"Emperor, please calm down," the Minister of the Ministry of industry said calmly, "now we should pay more attention to the front-line war. As for tracking down the spies, we can do it secretly. At present, the army of the rebel yeluanhuang has passed through Qizhou, and the reinforcements sent by the Imperial court are ambushed and defeated. We should immediately send more elite soldiers to Qizhou to stop the rebels. We must not let them attack while they win The city of Chu. "
At night, the wind took a deep breath, and the out of control mood eased slightly.
"Elite soldiers?" He sneered coldly, "I thought the first-class elite troops were sent to support, but you can see for yourself!"
He angrily pointed to the memorial on the ground: "they can't even ambush. When these people go to the battlefield, can they protect the city? A bunch of rubbish
Wen Chen subconsciously looked aside at the indignant new generals.
The general who led the troops this time came from the same Barracks as them. He was a former vice captain of Weihai.
The general clenched his fists, and his tiger eyes were wide open. He was obviously very angry.
"Emperor, the last general is willing to lead the troops to fight back the enemy." The general suddenly stood up and offered himself.
He is going to fight a turning over battle to rectify the name of Weihai Navy!
"How sure are you?" Night breeze wring eyebrow to ask a way, words inside and outside all permeate to the Navy's distrust.
The general blushed, gritted his teeth and said, "the last general is willing to make a military order, never break the enemy, never return to Korea!"
"Good."
At night, Linfeng immediately ordered him to allocate the remaining 60000 troops to him and give him the grain collected by the imperial court. He ordered him to set out today to meet the rebels.
The enemy troops have passed through Qizhou and are close to Yuehua City, the hinterland of the state of Chu. This city is the most prosperous city in the history of Chu. There are two granaries in the city, with nearly 20000 residents and 13000 garrison troops. It is also the main road to the southern border and the cities. Once Yuehua city is captured, half of the state of Chu will be completely occupied.
On the eve of their departure, the army discussed with all the courtiers and insisted on Guarding Yuehua City, never allowing the rebels to seize the city.
In the middle of the night, the lights in the imperial study were bright, the wind was blowing at night, and they were very upset. After a night of negotiation, none of them came up with a perfect plan to retreat from the enemy.
Just as the crowd was at a loss, the waiter suddenly stepped into the hall and whispered in the wind at night.
"There's something urgent in the harem. I'll go and have a look first and come back later."
After that, he left the officials in the room and left the imperial study alone.
A shadow swept over the eaves, like a ghost, quietly followed up.
At dawn, the two maids guarding outside Renkang's palace leaned against the column and nodded off with their heads tilted.
The dark shadow darted past the maid in front of her and entered the palace sensitively.
"Back?"
A cool voice came from the top. It was dimly visible through the hazy sunlight outside the window. There was a person sitting on the soft floor above.
Nanfeng took off the black towel on his face, walked forward quickly and reported in a low voice: "Miss, the night breeze is really sending troops to meet the northern Lord."
"How many reinforcements are there?" Feng Wan Yi asked, "is it the Navy under the command of the Lin family again?"
"Yes, my subordinates overheard their conversation. At night, they gave 60000 sailors to the general of the Lin family. After dawn, they were about to leave." Then he pauses. "That's just one."One?
Feng Wan Yi was surprised, "in addition, what else do they have to deploy?"
"Yelinfeng went to Qingzhu palace an hour ago, and Lin Rongguang was in the palace." At that time, he hid on the tile eaves, peeping at the movement of the hall, and saw Lin Rongguang with his own eyes. "They want to set a trap in Yuehua city and ambush the northern Lord."
As soon as the words came down, there was a loud voice from outside the hall.
"Through the window." Feng Wan clothes urgent voice orders a way.
When Nanfeng leaves through the window, she pulls her hair in a bun and lies on the chair beside the window.
In the early morning, the blue sunlight came into the room and fell on her sickly face, adding a little gaunt.
At night, when the wind came into the hall, I saw such a scene. My heart hurt a little. I waved my hand. The people in the palace stopped and went into the hall alone.
A warm mink blanket was draped over Feng Wan's leg.
She seemed to wake up from her absence and looked sideways at him.
"Why don't you rest in bed?" The night faces the breeze to endure in the heart of urgently, the temperature voice asks a way, big hand forward a probe, want to grasp Feng Wan the catkin of the dress.
She turned her back and cleverly avoided his touch.
The night face breeze eyebrow suddenly wrinkly tight, some displeasure, can think of her a few days ago of affair, then relaxed again.
"No matter how depressed you are, you can't fool around with your body. I'll help you to lie down on the couch."
"There are many affairs in the court. Why do you come to me?" Feng Wanyi asked without expression.
"To see you, of course." Ye Linfeng took her arm and said sweet words, "no matter how busy I am, I have to spare some time to accompany you."
Fengwanyi half pushed him to bed, and the frost on his face gradually dissipated under his comfort.
"Sleep, I'll be here with you." Night breeze side said, while she tucked in the brocade quilt, guarding her to sleep.
My eyes closed slowly, and after a while, I fell asleep.
"Wanyi?" The night breeze called gently. Seeing that she didn't respond, she got up and walked to the dressing mirror. She secretly opened the jewelry box on the cabinet and searched for it. In the drawer, she found a hairpin she used to wear.
Putting the hairpin into his sleeve, he turned back alertly and looked at the couch.
In the tent, Feng Wan's breath was even, and she was still lying on the bed.
At night, the wind let out a sigh of relief and crept away from the palace.
"The queen has just gone to bed. Don't disturb her dream." He glared at the palace maids outside the hall and ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes." The maid of honor rushed to send the driver away.
The mighty guard of honor disappeared outside the courtyard, and Nanfeng, lurking outside the wooden window, flew into the hall.
Feng Wan Yi had already got up and was holding the empty jewelry box in the drawer with a thoughtful expression.
"You said before that Lin Rongguang and ye Linfeng wanted to set an ambush in Yuehua city?"
Nanfeng nodded and said, "it's true. My subordinates only heard that they wanted to lure the enemy into the city, but they didn't understand what kind of method it was."
He hid on the eaves, a few meters away from the hall. Lin Rongguang whispered in the wind on the same night, so he didn't really hear it.
"My subordinates are incompetent. Please let the young lady plead guilty." Nanfeng hung his head in shame.
"Entice the enemy to go deep..." Feng Wan clothes slightly narrowed his eyes, eyes color suddenly bright and dark, suddenly, a bunch of fine awn in the fundus of his eyes, "quick, find the map of Yuehua city."
Nanfeng immediately flew out of Renkang palace. At this time, the night breeze had gone to the Yunxiao hall. There was no one in the imperial study. There were only more than ten bodyguards outside. He sneaked into the room from the window of the inner room. On the Dragon case, there was a cowhide map depicting the terrain of Yuehua city within 20 li of the town.
He didn't dare to take the map away rashly. While paying attention to the movement outside, he drew on the inside of the wide sleeve with a pen. After finishing, he left for Renkang palace.
"Look, miss."
Nanfeng cut off his sleeve and spread it out on the table.
"This is the dam?" Sushou lightly touched a dam behind the city. The stone walls of the dam surrounded Yuehua city. Just behind the city, the dam was used to intercept the river. Under the dam, it was Yuehua city.
A terrible idea suddenly occurred.
Feng Wan Yi suddenly changed his face, as if surprised, as if angry!
"What a cruel way!"
"Miss guessed the deployment of the night breeze?" Nanfeng some zhanger monk can't figure it out, follow the direction of her fingers, still can't think of the reason.
"If the army enters the city and the River breaks its bank, it will surely overflow the city! He took the hairpin I used to wear, just to lure Luan Huang into the city with me as bait! " As long as he enters the city, he will be like a turtle in a jar.
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she felt.
"No way." Nanfeng exclaimed in disbelief, "there are still tens of thousands of people in the city, and many city guards. If the dam is destroyed, won't they die?"
"Compared with the Chu state, do you think he will pay attention to this sacrifice?" She took a light breath, calmed the turbulent mood, and said in a cruel voice, "you contact the spies immediately, and let them set out immediately to the front line."She had to pass the news to Luan Huang before he waved his army into the city.
In the early days, at the side door of the Imperial Palace, an old woman with a bent back pushed the stinking barrel out of the palace.
Outside the palace, there had been a boy who was responsible for dumping filth.
"I'll trouble you again today." The old lady was blessed.
The boy quickly grasped her arm, shook his head and said, "what I do is this job. How can I call it trouble?"
A letter slipped into his sleeve.
"If the master has an order, send the letter to the king of Dingbei immediately. Don't miss anything." Mammy's back to the guard in front of the Palace door, eagerly told the way.
The boy's face was so solemn that he agreed silently. Then he carried the bucket to the cart and drove to the end of Qingshi road.
When the early Dynasty dispersed, the old headquarters of the Lin family left Beijing on orders. Outside the capital, they met with the soldiers and horses in tunzha. They walked around the official road and along the mountain road. The soldiers approached Yuehua city in two ways.
