Verse 4 Although she has lived in praise since she was a child, the pomp and circumstance of the wedding ceremony during the day and the blessings of the citizens still make her feel trepidated. As a first-time wife, even if she was as smart as she was, she felt a little overwhelmed, she shook her head, picked up the mirror and took a look, patted her blown-up cheek gently, and muttered, "What do you think, you should be happy." Then he shook his head and said to himself a little nervously: "But what should I do?" ”

Footsteps finally sounded downstairs, loud and hurried. Tonight, this backyard belonged to the two of them, and she didn't have to think about it to know who was coming. I couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry, this guy, is he also in such a hurry as those books say? As soon as he put on his hijab and was sitting upright on the edge of the bed with some panic, Wu Ming's voice sounded outside: "Yuqing, you can rest first, the prime minister has an urgent matter and wants me to rush over immediately." ”

There was a pang of disappointment in her heart, but it sank immediately. Today is my big day, and no matter how big the matter is, my father will definitely put it on hold until tomorrow, what happened to him and ask him to go over immediately?

Thinking of this, she straightened her chaotic thoughts and said calmly: "You go, be careful on the road, I'm here waiting for you to come back." ”

Wu Ming was once again shocked by the composure of his new wife, and while he was surprised, he also felt a burst of joy in his heart. The prime minister summoned himself to discuss important matters at this time, which must be a great event, and when he got the news from the prime minister's office, he was greatly shocked, but the other party was safe and sound. In this way, it is either great wisdom or great foolishness, and it is clear that the other party belongs to the former.

He took a deep look at the slender figure, said "En", took off his red wedding dress a few times, and then took Nanwang and walked out of the courtyard.

Nanning City is already a sea of carnival tonight, with the sound of firecrackers and fireworks all over the sky. Fortunately, he is now only wearing civilian clothes. Otherwise, if these people knew that he, the groom, was still swaggering outside the market, it was estimated that he would be pounced on by the crazy city-goers and torn to pieces immediately. But despite this, he still tried to choose the remote path to walk, after all, Nanwang was too conspicuous.

At the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, you can still see fireworks confetti all over the ground. Wu Ming had just jumped off Nanwang's back, and Steward Hu had already trotted all the way, came over and took the reins of his horse, and said, "Uncle, the prime minister and others are waiting for you in the study, let you come, go immediately." Being so affectionately called uncle by a quasi-nine-stage master, Wu Ming still felt unaccustomed for a while. He handed the reins to Steward Hu and smiled: "Old Hu, don't call me that, just call me by my name, or call me Lord Wu like before." ”

Steward Hu led the horse, as if to confirm something, and said, "Okay, I know, uncle." Wu Ming couldn't, so he shook his head with a wry smile and walked all the way towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Now he is no longer blind to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he doesn't need to be led by anyone, and when he arrives at the study. I saw that Dai Yu, Liu Ze, Zuo Ying, and the six Shangshu and Shilang had all arrived, except that Tao Yu was not present, it was almost equivalent to a court meeting. His heart sank, it seemed that something really big had happened, otherwise it would be so late, who would have summoned so many people to discuss the matter with great fanfare.

Seeing that Wu Ming had arrived, although everyone's faces were still solemn, most of them had an ambiguous and playful look in their eyes. Zhu Huai and Dai Yu were sitting around a coffee table, with a small map on it, and the two were discussing something in a low voice, Wu Ming stepped forward and saluted: "Prime Minister, the lower official Wu Ming is polite." ”

Zhu Huai's face didn't change much, he raised his head and let out an "oh", pointed to a position next to him and said, "You just sit next to me." ”

Wu Ming was stunned, sitting next to him? If you talk about official positions, you can count as a four-grade at most, and among the people in the room, you can't take your turn to sit as prime minister. This is to declare to everyone that he is already his confidant. He replied, "Yes." Then he sat down at the next empty table. As soon as he sat down, he saw the left shadow on the opposite side just move his eyes on his face, and his heart was also full of mixed feelings. Zuo Ying is just a prime minister now, but if he can enter here, it seems that Zhu Huai also trusts him very much and treats him as a personal entourage.

There are some delicious things on the table, and it's no wonder that I just met Wu Ming's wedding today, so these must be leftover snacks. It's just that even if there are delicacies from the mountains and seas on it now, it is difficult to arouse everyone's appetite for delicious delicacies. Many people sat and exchanged words, presumably exchanging views. Wu Ming was busy until now, and he didn't know what was going on, and he was even more on pins and needles.

After a while, Zhu Huai probably finished discussing. He stood up, clapped his hands and said, "Lord Zuo, you can read this emergency document." Zuo Ying took the document from the hand of an attendant, and then read it aloud, Wu Ming listened, and his heart turned over the monstrous Lang.

Three days ago, the Nanyang-shaped shì wind and clouds changed abruptly. Zhu Yulong led 50,000 elite soldiers and surrounded Sima Shang's last remnants of the defeated army in Guangyang. Because Guangyang City has the help of the Nanban navy, there will be no risk of running out of food for a while. But after being besieged for nearly a year, morale is getting lower day by day. Not only Zhu Yulong, but even everyone in Nanning thought that this lonely city would fall sooner or later. I knew that three days ago, more than 20,000 navies of the southern barbarians suddenly went north. He openly drove into the city from the west gate of Guangyang to assist Sima Shang in his defense. Zhu Yulong didn't check for a while, but he was attacked by the other party at night and suffered a big loss.

At this time, the left shadow had already read at a critical juncture:

“…… The minister is guilty, paralyzed careless! Taking advantage of the fact that our army was asleep in the middle of the night, the enemy opened the way with elite warriors and came to steal the camp. When I rushed out of the camp, the camp was already full of fire and killing. A red-clothed master is raiding with a group of warriors. The guards beside him are all elite, and there is no one in his hands. The enemy cavalry behind followed from a distance. For a while, the corpse was a wolf pillow, and the minister saw that he could not do anything, so he could only form a formation to protect himself, and fight and retreat. Waiting for ...... to help"

In this letter asking for help, in addition to being angry, there is also a deep helplessness towards the high-level martial artists. Wu Ming was shocked. A master in red? Is it long-lasting? When Zuo Ying finished reading, he couldn't help but ask, "Isn't Nanban at war with the Persians?" When will they have time to take care of Guangyang's affairs? ”

Zhu Huai snorted coldly and said, "In the morning, the pigeon shed sent a letter, saying that the Persians were demoralized day by day because of the long expedition and the news that their national teacher was seriously injured. Fearing to follow in the footsteps of the previous Eastern Expeditionary Army, the Persian Wugong had already retreated. ”

That's why!

In just a few days, not only did the Southern Han repel the attack of the Northern Han, but even the Southern Barbarians also won the victory, and in just a few days, it was really upside down. However, the reinforcement of Guangyang by the southern barbarians was unexpected, and it was reasonable, when the prince went south last year, this Sima Shang, as the executor of Li Tie's murder with a knife, cut off the prince's supply of grain and grass. In the year since the siege, although the Southern Barbarians have not participated in the war, they have never broken off the "property trade" with Guangyang. This lonely city has persisted to this day. However, in this way, I am afraid that the diplomatic relations around the country will have to change again.

Zhu Huai suddenly sneered and said: "These Persians, every time, come with a fierce momentum, and go away, a group of waste. ”

Wu Ming couldn't help but want to laugh a little. If the Persians really don't have a tiger and a snake tail, I am afraid that the next one to destroy the Southern Barbarians will be the Southern Han. It's just that this time the Southern Barbarians let Zhu Yulong suffer such a big loss, and he is a little angry now. Just thinking about it, Zhu Huai muttered: "But this time, there are martial arts masters in the Nanban Naval Army, so I'm afraid I have to trouble Lord Wu." ”

He glanced at Wu Ming with a little guilt, suddenly turned straight, and said loudly: "Wu Ming, the commander of the guard battalion, listens to the order. ”

Wu Ming hurriedly stood up and said respectfully, "The lower official is here." ”

"Lord Wu, tomorrow ** immediately select some people to come out, ready to march south at any time."

Wu Ming's heart sank, and he said respectfully: "The lower official obeys the order." ”

Everyone let out a "ah", and even a few civil officials who were sluggish were even more confused. Perhaps, most people are wondering, now Wu Ming is also Zhu Huai's fast son-in-law, and there is someone who sent his son-in-law out to fight on his daughter's wedding night. Only Zuo Ying and a few slightly clever officials were thoughtful.

Zhu Huai glanced at everyone and sighed. explained: "This time the Southern Barbarians are menacing, and we must give them a head-on blow, letting them know that although our Southern Han is only half of the country now, it is not something that he, a small vassal country, can look down on at will." Otherwise, once he tastes the sweetness, the situation of our country will be very embarrassing, and the shape will be even more precarious. The strategic advantage brought by the repulsion of the Northern Han just now will surely be lost. ”

Wu Ming knew in his heart that although the scale of this battle was smaller than the just-concluded Battle of Hanning. But the importance is inseparable. Zhu Huai sent himself, I am afraid that he has taken a fancy to the martial arts of the guard battalion to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

As soon as Wu Ming retreated, Zhu Huai smiled and said: "In this attack, we must not only repel the southern barbarians, but also scare their courage so that they dare not dare to go north again." The only way to achieve this is to compete with them at sea, and to defeat their own strengths. In this way, they can be convinced. ”

What the? Could it be that the result of the discussion between him and Dai Yu just now was actually preparing for a naval battle? It's just that the navy of more than 100,000 southern barbarians is rampant all over the world, and for so many years, no one dares to attack it. What kind of calculation did Zhu Huai make, and he actually had such a plan? The Storm Army in the bay has a permanent establishment of 30,000, but these 30,000 people also have to deal with the harassment of the islands and guard against the possible northward movement of the southern barbarians. Zhu Huai didn't know that there was so much confidence there, and he actually chose to fight with the other party.

He took a step forward, and was about to say two sentences, when Zhu Huai suddenly said loudly: "Zhuge Fei, the deputy governor of the Storm Army, listens to the order. A middle-aged man with a sturdy figure and a short beard stood up and said, "The last general." ”

"General Zhuge , how was the damage among the thousands of warships that the Storm Army came to aid this time?"

Zhuge Fei half-knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Of the thousands of warships that came to help, nearly three hundred were damaged, but most of them have been repaired. ”

Zhu Huai smiled slightly, grabbed a talisman and said to him: "General Zhuge , the military situation is like fire, please take the Guards Battalion to cooperate with the Storm Army to arrive in Guangyang in advance." Remember, don't fight hard, just do containment. As for the land route, I will send additional troops to reinforce it. ”

Zhuge Fei took the talisman and said loudly: "If you get the order, the last general will not disgrace the mission." ”
