The happy life of the devil and the devil

From that day on, Yuan Shao once again learned what it means to be close at hand and far away.

Ling Yucheng did not disobey any of his intentions at all, from the spoken orders and instructions to the slightest movement, even a glance.Whether it's selecting old soldiers from Xuanjiawei to teach in the military academy, arranging to mobilize officials from Qingzhou, or fetching a book or pouring a glass of water, Ling Yucheng will do it quietly, so that even the most demanding bystanders can watch Come on, it's also completely impeccable.

He just doesn't smile anymore.

The intimacy and freedom, the teasing and banter that once made Yuan Shao's heart tickle or knowing smile, have been completely covered under the mask.What Yuan Shao could see, apart from being respectful, was respectful.

This is even worse than when Ling Yucheng first arrived in Beiliang.At that time, Ling Yucheng would show his paws in front of him from time to time, to challenge his tolerance—maybe it was also because Ling Yucheng at that time didn't even care about his own life.

But now, for the first time, Ling Yucheng, who strictly abides by the courtier's festival, made Yuan Shao feel powerless.

It's not that I haven't tried to have a good talk with him, explaining, apologizing, showing kindness, and using every method I can think of.Every time Ling Yucheng just listened quietly, thanked him politely, let him speak dryly, and only lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, not giving him the slightest response he wanted.

For a while, Yuan Shao almost thought that the heart of this person in front of him was made of iron stone-the iron stone would melt at that moment, but Ling Yucheng didn't seem to change his mind in the slightest despite his thousands of words.

However, when he watched Ling Yucheng wake up suddenly when he turned his side in the middle of the night again and again, he instinctively tightened his shoulders when he met his sight again and again, and even for two consecutive nights, he was almost injured when he lost his head when fighting. - Yuan Shao finally knew that this could not go on.

"Do you want to go out and relax?"

It was another sleepless night.Different from the usual ones, this time he knocked on the door of the palace in the middle of the night and delivered a military report to the palace in order to expedite the eight hundred miles. After repeating it over and over again, he suddenly turned his head and asked.

Ling Yucheng's eyes flashed quickly.Yuan Shao thought that he would ask to read the military newspaper, but he didn't want Ling Yucheng to look up and still sit on the opposite side of the young couple, with his hands flat on his knees, motionless.

"Your Majesty - why did you say that?"

"Look at it." Yuan Shao raised his hand and handed over the silk book.The smooth and thin silk was spread out in the palm of his hand, and was blown by the night wind coming in through the crack of the window, a corner of it suddenly rose up, and then fluttered down from the fingertips.Almost at the same time, Ling Yucheng stood up straight, stretched out his hands, and put them squarely under the silk book.

It was never like this before.Yuan Shao stared at those hands with some bewilderment - in the past, Ling Yucheng would never get up, at best he stretched his arms, snapped two fingers, and pulled the military newspaper over.Sometimes I would even simply lean by his side and look at it together with his hands. I thought it was inconvenient to look at it, and I would touch his elbows to signal him to move things up...

Instead, stand up respectfully and pick it up with both hands.

In a blink of an eye, his thumb had already pressed the corner of the silk silk again, and Ling Yucheng, who failed to receive the military report, had withdrawn his hand and stood there with his hands down.At this time, it was already deliberate to hand it again, Yuan Shao resisted not frowning, raised his hand and pressed it falsely, signaling Ling Yucheng to take a seat: "Su Luo Lu Guangxian, how much do you know?"

"The governor of Luo Diao?" No matter how many days in a row he couldn't sleep well, and he was pulled up to read the military newspaper in the middle of the night, it still couldn't stop Ling Yucheng's eyes from lighting up immediately: "I became famous at the age of 17. The Taibao and Prime Minister Zuo are in charge of an army of 40 soldiers in Suluo, and they have not lost a single defeat in [-] years of military service—"

Yuan Shao already wanted to laugh when he heard half of it.If it was him, the first thing that comes to mind when mentioning Lu Guangxian must be the hero of the Three Dynasties, a noble family, the daughter is the queen, the princess Zishang, and the whole country's soldiers will go out... In Ling Yucheng's eyes, these people The glory and wealth of Chen Dingfeng cannot match that of the 17-year-old boy, who has been fighting for 40 years with iron and blood, and has a great reputation.

Su Luo, the country in the northeast of Great Liang, has been standing in the current world because of that person, and has not become a corner of Great Liang.

However, this smile is only a flash.The light in Ling Yucheng's eyes also gradually dimmed. He focused on the silk book for a moment, and when he lifted it up again, he was a little more surprised:

"Why did Your Majesty suddenly mention this person?"

"he died."

A fluttering sentence is no heavier than the silk that is suddenly swept up by the night wind and then quietly falls to the ground.Ling Yucheng was startled, and wanted to lean over to pick it up, but stopped when his shoulders moved. He listened blankly to Yuan Shao taking a sip of tea, then lowered his voice, and added slowly:

"...The whole family is copied and chopped."

"The Lord of Suluo, self-destructed the Great Wall. Now Lu's family is completely destroyed, only his seven-year-old grandson, who was escorted by the dead and defected to my Great Liang, has now crossed the border—now the Suluo family is big. Open, are you willing to raise troops to the north for me, to expand the territory?"

Of course, it is impossible for Yuan Shao to decide on such a big matter as the war of destroying the country, nor is it possible to use the tone of "let you go out to relax" in such a quiet and deserted night, and decide to lead the army. coach.

However, a military newspaper that was enough to knock on the door in the middle of the night and be sent to the palace was banned. In the next day's court meeting, the priority was also the first-seven or eight ministers discussed it head-to-head, and then transferred the ones that could be called out. After summarizing the military strength and supplies, Yuan Shao signed his name on the urgently drafted imperial decree before the sun completely set on the horizon, and then he held up the seal with both hands and printed it squarely.

If the sky is not taken, the blame is on the contrary.

How could such a good opportunity not be seized?And Suluo is not the kind of country that is famous and capable of fighting... The problem with that country is that the terrain is remote and cold. Once it is dragged into a protracted war, it will have to retreat obediently in winter... I didn't see that the previous dynasty failed three times, and ended up losing their teachers. Destroy the country?

But what is the advantage of Great Liang?Not those infantrymen who walk slowly and can't walk fifty miles a day!It's cavalry!It's a thousand-mile raid!A long-distance raid by one person, two horses, or even three horses, in the blink of an eye, you will arrive at the gate of your house, and you will break through the door and come in!

Besides, Great Liang has never been a country that pays attention to the way of the king, pays attention to being famous, and pays attention to gentleness, courtesy and thrift!From the first day of the rise of the Tiele tribe, only expansion is engraved in its bones!

As for supplies?Baggage?Is it inconvenient to carry, or inconvenient to grab?In Sun Tzu's Art of War, it is written that "the food is for the enemy", not to mention that among the cavalry of Great Liang, there is a sequence that specializes in looting things!Officially compiled!

So, in the slowly sinking blood-red setting sun, Ling Yucheng knelt down on one knee, took the long sword he had just untied from Yuan Shao's hand, and tied it solemnly around his waist.

It is different from the last time when troops were dispatched during the parade, and it was different from the last time when he pretended to be angry and left, and then sneaked into Yuxia's battle. This time, Ling Yucheng took over the emperor from Yuan Shao under the watchful eyes of all the military and state officials. The sword also took over the power to control the armies and mobilize all necessary resources.

"Besides, the general controls it."

After a simple ceremonial order, Ling Yucheng got up and stepped back, his armor clanging, and he saluted solemnly:

"But there is an order, and there is no way!"

The black clouds rolled up and flew away.

From the Zhaoming Hall to the Chengtian Hall, the gates of the palaces were opened one after another, and then, behind Ling Yucheng, they were closed one by one.

Blocking the Lie Lie's flag and the flying cloak, Yuan Shao kept staring, never leaving his gaze.

Ling Yucheng only left five hundred guards in the capital.This small number of people is just enough to barely maintain the normal operation of the military mansion and the manor, and is also on duty to guard the Xihua Gate of the Forbidden Palace to ensure that the military report from Lingyu City can be sent to the palace as soon as possible.He rushed all the way to the northeast with his personal guards, and rushed directly into the area under the jurisdiction of the Guangwu Guards. The Xuanjia Guards who had assembled were also ordered to go north. Before the army left the customs, the generals would catch up with the commander.

In this battle, Xuanjiawei's best troops were out.Ling Yucheng's 4000 old troops brought 3000, 5000 young and strong recruited from Qingzhou, and [-] were captured from Haixi savages. [-] people were brought out.The mighty [-] people emptied most of Ling Yucheng's family property, leaving only the most basic force to maintain order in the huge Qingzhou.

And this iron current continues to grow.Not long after leaving Beijing, Guangwuwei's [-] soldiers and horses immediately gathered together, followed Xuanjiawei to gallop out of the customs, and rushed northeast along the coastline—[-] miles later, the coastline turned and turned south, the most prosperous place at the turning point In Xiangping City, an important town, Baishanwei and Heishuiwei each have [-] cavalry soldiers ready to prepare their horses and wait for each other quietly.

Even the Haixi savages, who Ling Yucheng spent two years trying to restrain and appease, tightened their belts and squeezed out [-] people, who rushed to Xiangping day and night.

The Haixi chiefs who went to the old forest to blow the trumpet to gather people said this: "Follow the adults to snatch it, you must be right! Snatch one for sure!"

Nearly [-] troops from different backgrounds and origins, who could not even speak the same language, gathered under the command of Ling Yucheng outside the borders of the Suluo Kingdom.

The banners were flying, so strong that under the dazzling blue sky, Ling Yucheng reined in his horse and took a look at the mighty army below the city, then turned his eyes to the south, the capital of Suluo Kingdom that was not yet visible at the end of the sky.

More than [-] soldiers, boundless.There are more than one hundred thousand soldiers, and the ground is raging.Although the army under his command is less than [-] at the moment, they are all cavalry, and even most of them have one man and two horses.

This journey is a distance of three thousand miles.

Three thousand miles.From the capital to Xiangping, it took four days and four nights, even if the army reported the [-] li urgently and the fast horse reported to the palace.And when the army is assembled and marches long distances, even if they are riding lightly on fast horses, from Yuan Shao's order to today, the stars have moved, and the moon has been waning and full again.

The only consolation is that the key to victory in this battle is not surprise.

"Report to your lord, Lu Zhong, the grandson of the Lu family, is seeking to see you outside!"

"—Xuan!"

The author has something to say: After struggling for a long time... I finally decided to overthrow all the previous paragraphs and start over.

I am very very sorry, and thank you to everyone who is still watching patiently.

Well, this should be the last big plot.
