At the end of February, there was still a hint of chill, but spring had arrived, and the thick clothes on my body were slowly beginning to change.

Xu Wu entered the inner courtyard with an ugly face, and said to Yuxi: "Madam, I just got the news that the Northern Capture Army is only three hundred miles away from Yucheng. In less than three days, the Northern Captivity army arrived at the city of Yucheng. ”

Yuxi asked, "What's the matter? Is there a mistake in the news I got before?" The day before yesterday, Yuxi also heard Xu Wu say that the 250,000 troops from the north were preparing to set off to attack Yucheng.

Xu Wu said with a heavy face: "The people we planted in the Northern Captivity should have rebelled. "The man rebelled and deliberately passed on false news to them.

Yuxi calculated for a moment and said, "The requisitioned recruits will arrive in Yucheng in these two days, even if they have an army of 250,000, they don't have to worry too much. ”

Xu Wu said: "Madam, you clean up, and leave Yucheng for Lanzhou City tonight." "In this way, if there is any accident, the lady and the child will be fine.

Yuxi felt that something was not quite right, and said: "What's the matter? Although the enemy has an army of 250,000, how can we resist half a month with the newly recruited 50,000 recruits and the original 40,000 horses. I believe that in half a month, the general should be able to rush back. ”

Xu Wu smiled bitterly: "The marshal of the Northern Capture Army this time is Battle. This time Battle is prepared, and there is bound to be a fierce battle in Yucheng. My father-in-law and I both thought it would be better for my wife to rush to Lanzhou City. ”

Yuxi naturally knew who Battelle was, that was the third prince of the Northern Captivity, this person was brave and good at fighting, killing people like hemp, and his reputation was on par with Yunqing: "I told you a long time ago that if I leave with my child, I will definitely shake the morale of the army." And even if Barthes were to fight well, we had 90,000 men, and we would certainly be able to withstand half a month. ”

In front of Yuxi, Xu Wu was not afraid to tell the truth: "The people who are levied this time are all recruits. I'm afraid that we won't be able to withstand it for half a month. ”

Yuxi said coldly: "If you can't keep it, you have to keep it, and you can't let Yucheng become the second Tongcheng." Seeing that Xu Wu still wanted to speak, Yuxi waved his hand and said: "You don't need to persuade me anymore, I won't leave Yucheng, and I also believe that the general will definitely be able to come back in time." ”

Xu Wu had already guessed this result: "Okay, I'll go and talk to my father-in-law." ”

Yuxi stopped Xu Wu and said, "I wrote a letter to Xu Chong, and you asked someone to bring the letter to him." "Xu Chong is the prefect of Xinping City, and he is also their person.

Xu Wu nodded and said, "Okay." ”

After receiving the letter, Xu Wu said: "Madam, whether to let the eldest girl and the second girl leave Xinping City, it is not safe here. ”

Yuxi thought for a while, but still shook his head and said, "No need." "Now that the war is in chaos, and Yucheng has hidden a lot of details, it is even more unsafe for children to be sent away from Yucheng.

Xu Wu took the letter and walked out of the inner courtyard.

Standing in front of the desk, Yuxi let out a long breath. What Yunqing was worried about finally happened, and now they are really suffering from the enemy, and only after they have overcome this difficulty can they be considered truly successful.

Walking out of the study, Yuxi went to the ear room to visit Zao Zao and Liu'er. The girl couldn't bear the silence, and when Yuxi came in, she was playing with the rattle in her hand alone, making a lot of noise. And Liu Er, nestled in Mother Lan's arms, motionless, but her eyes fell on Yuxi's body.

Mother Lan hugged Liu'er and said with a smile: "Every time Mrs. comes, the eldest girl and the second girl are very happy. ”

Yuxi stayed with the two children in the ear room for a while, then put down the jujube sticking to her, and said, "Mother is busy, you listen to Mother Lan obediently at home, do you know?" Yuxi thought that it was a good thing that the two sisters were willing to get close, so she complied with her.

Back in the bedroom, Yuxi said to licorice: "Go to the kitchen and ask grandma to come to the bedroom." "Mama Quan is boiling medicinal food for Yuxi in the kitchen.

Walking into the bedroom, seeing that Yuxi's face was not very good, Quan Mama suddenly felt bad in her heart: "Is something wrong?" But don't be Yunqing's accident.

Yuxi said about the siege of the Northern Capture Army: "Mama, the general of the Northern Capture Army this time is the third prince of the Northern Capture Royal Court, Battle, and this person is extremely murderous. "Murder is still secondary, this person also likes to eat human flesh, very perverted, many people are terrified when they hear him. As for why this person was allowed to lead the army this time, Yuxi also did not know.

Mama Quan looked at Yuxi's appearance and said, "Aren't you going to leave, do you want me to leave with Zaojube and Liu'er?" But Liu'er's body is too weak, and she can't stand it when she leaves her in a hurry. ”

Yuxi shook his head and said, "Zao Zao and Liu Er are all staying in Yucheng and waiting for the general with me." Mama, I'll let you go to Lanzhou City, you can wait for me in Lanzhou City!" Qin Zhao asked Xu to escape from Yucheng with his children, and then the other generals also left Yucheng. In fact, it has made the soldiers below lose confidence. Fortunately, Yunqing burned their grain and grass at that time, otherwise how could they hold out to the end.

Mama Quan smiled and said, "I'm this old, and I still have a few years to live." You're not afraid, I have nothing to fear. Do whatever you want, Zao Zao and Liu'er and I will take care of it for you. "When she came to Yucheng this time, she was a little selfish. Now that there are rebellions, there will definitely be wars everywhere in the future, and their family will not have a stable life no matter where they are. It just so happened that Yunqing also rebelled, and the prospects were good. She thought that if Yunqing succeeded, she would become the master of the northwest in the future, and she would come over to Yuxi, so that the family would not have to live a frightened life in the future, and she would be able to find a future for her two nephews.

Yuxi nodded and said, "Okay, the dates and Liu'er will be handed over to Mama." I will keep the red beans and red membranaceus, and they will protect you and the child if anything. ”

Mama Quan felt that it was not appropriate, and said, "You should take these two maids with you! I am in the inner courtyard with the child, and there should be nothing wrong." ”

Yuxi smiled and said, "I have someone around me to protect me, so don't worry." ”

When they arrived at the front yard, Yuxi took Master Yang and Xu Wu to the bottom of the city wall. Less than 100 meters away from the city wall, a lot of sheds were built, row after row. Some of these sheds were used for cooking, some for the wounded, and some for the soldiers to rest. If it rains, having these sheds can save a lot of work.

At this time, no one is idle on this side of the shack. There are those who transport firewood, and there are also those who carry shochu and medicinal herbs. Everyone bowed their heads and did things, and no one was talking and chatting there.

Yuxi said: "Do these people know that the Northern Captives are coming?" always felt that the atmosphere was a little solemn, so that Yuxi had to suspect that they already knew that the Northern Captives were coming

Xu Wu nodded and said, "I didn't hide this. ”

As he was talking, the master hurriedly ran over and said, "Boss, the boss is not good. General Fu suddenly fell unconscious, and he didn't know what was going on?"

Xu Wu's face turned white, and before the war started, the main general actually came out. Originally, he was not sure about this battle, but now he has no bottom in his heart.

Yuxi didn't ask Fu Tianlei what was going on, but only said: "Xu Wu, immediately go to Zhao Mansion and ask General Zhao to be the chief general of Yucheng." "In terms of qualifications, there is no more suitable than General Zhao.

Xu Wu hesitated.

Yuxi said: "The general told me before leaving, if there is any accident, go to General Zhao." "General Zhao has guarded Yucheng for more than 20 years, and he will not watch Yucheng be attacked by the northern captives.

Xu Wu nodded and said, "Madam, I'll send you back first and then go to Zhao Mansion!" Madame's safety is the top priority.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "You don't need to send it, it'll be fine with them." "Yuxi came here this time to see if there was anything wrong. If you find it, you can solve it as much as possible.

Seeing Xu Wumian's hesitation, Master Yang said, "Don't worry, with me, I won't let people get close to Mrs. "This time, Yuxi went out and asked Master Yang to follow closely. Of course, in addition to this, there are quite a few guards.

Half an hour later, Yuxi returned to Yunfu, called Xu Daniu, and asked, "What's the matter with General Fu?" suddenly fell unconscious, 100% of the time he was plotted.

Xu Daniu said: "General Fu was poisoned, and the food was poisoned. Seeing Yuxi's puzzled face, Xu Daniu said: "It was the cook who poisoned her, and the cook was a fine work from the Northern Captivity." The cook has been in the Fu family for more than 20 years. ”

Yuxi was creepy, this really can't be blamed on Fu Tianlei. Who would have thought that the cook who had been in the Fu family for more than 20 years would be a fine work of the Northern Captivity: "How is General Fu's situation now?"

Xu Daniu shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific situation. "The only thing that is certain is that Fu Tianlei can't lead the troops. At this juncture, the main general fell, which really shook the morale of the army.

Yuxi said: "Don't worry, I have already asked Xu Wu to invite General Zhao." With General Zhao here, there shouldn't be any chaos. However, this meticulous work is also too rampant. "I've been caught in several batches, but these people are like bamboo shoots after the rain, stubble after stubble, and they can't be killed.

Xu Daniu said: "The old lady has gone to the Fu family, I believe there will be a harvest." Madam, now that the situation in Yucheng is in this situation, you should take the eldest girl and the second girl away!" Xu Daniu felt that the battle this time must be even more tragic than two years ago.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I'm sure the general will be able to come back in time." Xu Wu and Xu Daniu were not confident, which made Yuxi feel a little apprehensive. However, she didn't think about leaving Yucheng.

Xu Daniu didn't persuade anymore.

Half an hour later, Xu Wu came back: "Madam, the matter has been done." He originally thought that it would take a lot of money, after all, it was their general who relieved General Zhao from his position, but he didn't expect that after General Zhao knew his intention, he agreed without hesitation.

Yuxi nodded lightly and said, "That's good." But you must protect General Zhao, and don't let the details take advantage of the loophole. "These meticulous works are really pervasive.

Thinking of this, Yu Xi hurriedly said: "Don't let the elaborate rumors that are mixed into the military camp make trouble and shake the hearts of the army." "This time the northern captives are bound to Yucheng, otherwise they would not have used the fine work that has been lurking for more than 20 years.

Xu Wu nodded and said, "Madame, don't worry, you will never let such a thing happen." ”R1148
