Chapter 50

"Wang Yi, I went to the shooting range to practice my gun today. I missed the target four times, but hit the bull's-eye once. Do you think I have improved a lot?"

"Wang Yi, when Jiannu retreats, you can come and practice spear practice with me, okay? I will worship you as my teacher! But I still like to use bows and arrows. I can draw the eagle bow like the full moon, look northwest, shoot the wolf, and compare it with birds. The majesty of the mouth gun looks much better!"

"Wang Yi, when do you think Jiannu will withdraw his troops? Do you think Jiannu is powerful?"

"Wang Yi, talk, are you dumb?"

"Wang Yi, stop for this princess!"

Wang Yi stopped in his tracks, glanced back at the angry Princess Changping, and hurriedly turned around again, continuing to patrol the city wall.

"The princess told you to stop, you are really deaf and dumb!" Princess Changping rushed up and grabbed Wang Yi's arm, "Hmph, don't think that if you become a thousand households, you can ignore this princess. You When you were seriously injured and bedridden, this princess visited you every day and brought you delicious food, did you forget?"

After Wang Yi recovered from his injury, the emperor promoted him to be a thousand householder, already a fifth-rank military officer.

The emperor also said at the time: "Wang Yi, you are amazing, you are the youngest thousand household since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Wang Yi will never forget the princess's great kindness. It's just that I have to go on patrol now, so I don't have time to talk to the princess." Wang Yi gently shook off Princess Changping's hand, his face burning hot.

"Patrol is patrol, you can talk while walking, you are a boring gourd." Princess Changping felt better and walked forward with Wang Yi.

The two were about the same age. Princess Changping had taken care of Wang Yi and practiced in the barracks all day, so they gradually became acquainted. Princess Changping already regarded Wang Yi as a good friend who talked about everything.

Wang Yi also liked staying with Princess Changping, but he seldom talked.It's not that he was born a dull gourd, but for some reason, he didn't dare to speak in front of Princess Changping.

What can I say, Princess Changping is capable of writing and martial arts, and often quotes scriptures and classics when speaking. He knows astronomy and geography. At most, Wang Yi can talk about the embarrassing story of climbing trees, catching birds and fishing in rivers when he was a child.

Moreover, Princess Changping has a voice like a lark when she speaks, so just let her talk as much as she wants, and I will be very satisfied just listening to her voice.

After the patrol was over, the two stood side by side on the city wall, looking at the setting sun in the distance.

Princess Changping repeated the old saying: "I worship you as my teacher, do you want it?"

In order to improve the shooting skills of the soldiers, the emperor built a shooting range with many targets erected in it, and musketeers went to train every day.

Those targets are very strange, with many circles drawn, and each circle is marked with numbers, from the first ring, the second ring to the ten rings.

Wang Yi was so talented that he could hit the bull's-eye nine out of ten times, and was hailed as a "sharp shooter" by the emperor.Princess Changping can't do it. She misses the target five times out of ten times, and each of the other five times has her own sadness, but she uses bows and arrows well.

"How dare I be the princess' teacher?" Wang Yi shook his head. Seeing Princess Changping's face turned cold, he added, "If you want to practice guns, just come to me. I know everything you can talk about."

Princess Changping smiled and watched the sunset.The night slowly unfolded, and a bright moon quietly climbed over the treetops.

She thought of a line of poetry for no reason, and recited it casually: "After the evening of the appointment, the head of the willow on the moon..."

Suddenly, she felt hot and trembling in her heart, she ran away in a hurry: "Oh, I have to go to pay my respects to Concubine Yuan, I'm leaving!"

Wang Yi was stunned for a long time. Although he had never read a book, he still understood the meaning of the poem that Princess Changping just recited.

The heart was beating so fast, and an inexplicable emotion filled the chest, like catkins flying all over the sky in early spring, slapping people's faces and bodies, soft and itchy.

At this moment, the soldiers shouted.Someone said: "Xiao Wang Qianhu, that live Qin Hui is here again!"

Wang Yi shook his head, broke free from his confusion, ran over and looked down, and saw Chen Hongfan riding a horse to the city wall.

The soldiers put down a big basket and dragged Chen Hongfan up the city wall.Chen Hongfan smiled and cupped his hands, and said to Wang Yi: "Wang Qianhu, take me to see General Zhou and Junshi Yan."

Since the Qing soldiers besieged the city, Chen Hongfan had to enter the city every now and then, and Junshi Yan and General Zhou had to receive him.Wang Yi was not surprised, and led the way silently.

When he arrived at the government office, Wang Yi said, "Go in by yourself."

"Thank you!" Chen Hongfan walked in by himself, familiar with the road.

When they came to the study, Zhou Yuji and Yan Ermei happened to be drinking and talking. Chen Hongfan said with a smile: "You two are so elegant and cheerful, yet you are so calm and calm when the army is besieging the city, like the ancients!"

Zhou Yuji squinted at this "live Qin Hui" and said nothing.

Yan Ermei laughed: "What else can we do? The Qing soldiers can't attack, and we don't want to fight out, so we can only drink to maintain our life."

Chen Hongfan sat down, poured himself a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, smacked his lips and said:
"To be honest, I admire our soldiers in Xuzhou City from the bottom of my heart. They are not what they used to be, and their combat effectiveness is much stronger than any army in the past. I hope that the Ming Dynasty will be rejuvenated!"

"Do you still have the Ming Dynasty in your heart? Huh!" Zhou Yuji snorted coldly.

Yan Ermei said: "Vice Envoy Chen is in Cao Ying and his heart is in Han. With you in the middle, we can talk to Duoduo. Tell me, are you here to ask for God's anointing again?"

"Yan Junshi knows me too! Prince Yu ran out of the god ointment you gave me a few days ago, and urged me to go to the city to ask for it." Chen Hongfan smiled playfully.

Duoduo had become addicted to opium, and when he arrived at the city of Xuzhou, he sent Chen Hongfan to ask for some back every few days.Yan Ermei responded to every request, but each time she only gave enough for three days.

The two sides had a tacit understanding. Duoduo slowed down the rhythm of the attack. He only attacked the city once every few days, and each time he retreated within half an hour.

Later, this war was like a play.If the fight continues like this, I'm afraid that the Qing soldiers will not be able to take Xuzhou City until the end of time.

It is precisely because of this that Yan Ermei used opium to firmly tie Duoduo and bought enough time for Li Cunming, so that he could take Huai'an calmly and wipe out Jiangbei in one fell swoop.

Yan Ermei got up and opened a closet, took out a pack of opium, and said: "I have prepared it for Prince Yu, take it."

Chen Hongfan happily took it and said with a smile: "Okay, I can do business again. Military Commander Yan, can you give me some more? Don't get me wrong, in a few days, we may have to say goodbye..."

"how do I say this?"

"News came from the north that Azige was defeated in Xi'an and retreated all the way to Tongguan. And Li Zicheng was gathering an army, and there seemed to be a tendency to counterattack. There was a lot of discussion in the Qing court. Dorgon wanted to send Duoduo to lead the army to support Azige. Zig."

Yan Ermei's eyes lit up, and she glanced at Zhou Yuji, who also had bright eyes.

Well, the emperor really hit the mark, and Li Zicheng is finally going to counterattack!
After sending Chen Hongfan away, Zhou Yuji laughed heartily: "Mr. Yan, the battle in Xuzhou was too easy. The emperor is really good at predicting things. When I returned to Xuzhou, the emperor said that we should just procrastinate and Li Zicheng will help us. Now it has come true."

Yan Ermei said: "The emperor descended to earth, the prophecy has been fulfilled repeatedly, we have seen a lot. I am just curious, the situation has changed again, how will the emperor deal with it?"
