Father is on top, I was wrong
Chapter 33 Retreat
Xiao Gui pursed his lips for a long time without saying a word, and looked at him with cold eyes.
"What kind of ecstasy was Xiangfu given to him? Believe him so much?"
Wen Wujue's face was as calm as an ancient well, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said: "No need for a suspect,? No doubt for an employer."
Xiao Gui: "..."
A storm was brewing in his suppressed eyes, full of disbelief.
When did his father-in-law become so old-fashioned and pedantic?
There is obviously something wrong with this Yezi, and he still trusts him so much? !
Seeing that he could continue talking, a quarrel was inevitable, Wen Wujue said, "Tomorrow the Chinese army will discuss matters in the big tent."
Then he pulled away and left.
Xiao Gui looked at his retreating back, and was so angry that he almost jumped up. The freshly bandaged wound also began to ooze blood.
He was very angry and thought,? This little showman really has the means to subdue his father-in-law so quickly.
He walked up and down in the big tent, his face covered with clouds.
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Gui thought that his father didn't trust him?He just wanted to find evidence that something was wrong with this little Sao Dazi!
The next day, everyone gathered in the big tent of the Chinese Army to discuss matters.
Xiao Gui sat on the top with a stern look, didn't say a word, just stared at Yeqi blindly.
Yeqi let him stare at him, with a faint smile on his lips, and he didn't care.
The atmosphere between the two was undercurrent, and even the generals around could feel it.
Wen Wujue, however, didn't seem to be aware of it, and spread out a fortification plan with a rough bottom in front of everyone.
"I asked the carpenters in the army to draw this based on the enemy's giant crossbow that I observed yesterday. Our army fought a long distance and did not carry a bed crossbow,? It’s also at a disadvantage.”
The most powerful arrow crossbow in the army has always been the three-bow bed crossbow of Daliang. Daliang's military weapons have always been ahead of the surrounding small border countries, but compared with this thing, it is nothing.
Everyone's faces were full of doubts, and they lowered their heads to check the giant crossbow.
The length and width of this object are about tens of feet, and there are huge five-leaf hinged shafts on both sides. From the beginning to the end, it is divided into main bow, lead bow, and copper wire for pulling. Up to several feet.
Although the arm of the crossbow is used as a power arm, the longer it is, the more labor-saving it is, but it is impossible for such a huge crossbow to be manipulated by a few sergeants.
Wen Wujue speculated that they might be drawn by animals such as cows and horses, and manpower only needed to control the direction.
"This thing is not easy to do!"
"We are going to go immediately with thousands of troops, and they are all over the city wall. How can we resist below?"
"Yes! No matter how thick the shield is, it can't withstand such a fierce attack!"
……
Everyone was talking about it, and they had lingering fears about such a fierce weapon.
Xiao Gui originally focused on Yeqi, but after seeing the blueprint, he went straight forward and looked at it carefully.
Wen Wujue looked at Yeqi, "Does the general have any countermeasures against the enemy?"
Yeqi rubbed his chin in thought, didn't speak for a long time, then shook his head slowly, as if he didn't have any plan.
But seeing Xiao Gui staring at him coldly, he approached Wen Wujue pretending to be joking, and said ambiguously, "You don't listen to the prime minister?"
Xiao Gui immediately frowned, took three steps and made two steps, squeezed in between the two, and stepped hard on Yeqi's instep with his foot.
"Uh--"
Yeqi snorted and took two steps back with a smile on his face.
The others didn't notice anything unusual, and Wen Wujue was close at hand, looking thoughtfully at the two mad dogs who were at odds.
Xiao Gui stepped on Yeqi until his face turned pale, and then he slowly moved his foot away and turned his face away.
"I have an idea."
"Oh?" Wen Wujue narrowed his eyes, "Let's listen."
"Night attack, put more scarecrows to hide people's eyes and ears. Although this weapon is fierce, it can only fire three at a time. If it is impossible to aim in the dark, it is useless."
The eyes of all the generals at the scene lit up, this is a good idea.
Wen Wujue lowered his eyelids, unable to see clearly, seemed to be thinking.
After waiting for a while, Lin Yun looked at Wen Wujue tentatively, and asked softly, "What do you think, Prime Minister?"
Wen Wujue's expression was indifferent, showing no reaction.
At this time, Yeqi said, "Your Majesty's idea sounds good, but what if the enemy army burns a fire to illuminate it, and it's as bright as day?"
Xiao Gui didn't think about him at all, but seeing Wen Wujue staring at him unwaveringly, he snorted coldly: "We can attack the city silently, why give them time to prepare the fire?"
"Why attack quietly?" Yeqi was puzzled.
Wen Wujue suddenly thought of going with Xiao Gui, and he followed Yeqi's question and briefly reminded him: "The Battle of Qinling Mountains."
As soon as he said these words, everyone was immediately enlightened.
Qinling, a small town in the southern border of Daliang, is still in the hands of the army and has not yet been recovered.
In the past, when the snow was falling in the twelfth lunar month, the soldiers buckled the bamboo tubes filled with hot rice paste on the female wall. The rice paste was sticky and not dry, and it was quickly frozen firmly on the female wall in the cold winter. superior.
Thousands of soldiers armed with short knives quietly climbed one after another frozen bamboo tubes, and touched them from under the wall. Before the defenders could react, the sentry had no time to light the fire to notify the defenders. When it was time, he quickly cut the neck of the man and knocked him down, occupying the top of the city.
Then the city gate was opened, and the cavalry hidden in the mountains surged in, taking the entire city within a few moments.Once the news of this one-to-ten battle came out, it was shocking.
There was silence in the big tent.
Suddenly, Yeqi asked again: "Everyone knew about this battle back then, so how could they not be on guard against us?"
Xiao Gui suspected that he was deliberately finding fault, and his eyes blew past him like a knife.
He immediately smiled coolly, "There is another solution once and for all, but... I didn't intend to let you hear it."
After hearing this, Wen Wujue raised his eyelids to look at him.
He stood beside Xiao Gui, a few inches lower than him, and he had to raise his head slightly when looking at him.
As soon as Xiao Gui turned his head, he saw his eyes were clear and bright, which made his heart soften.
He changed his expression, slowed down his voice, and whispered in Wen Wujue's ear: "I have a way to unload their giant crossbows."
He paused, and looked at Xiao Gui in disbelief, trying to make sure if he was joking.
Xiao Gui hooked the corners of his mouth, looking confident and calm.
Wen Wujue suddenly remembered that Xiao Gui had been staring at the drawing just now, his expression did not seem to be joking.
The core of this kind of giant crossbow is the trigger. If you find the correct position, let a highly skilled archer shoot arrows with gunpowder and ignite the trigger, which can often make a huge crossbow useless.
But this kind of location is often hidden very deeply and is not easy to find.
Hearing Xiao Gui's idea, he should know where the location is.
His eyes flicked across Xiao Gui's face, and he suddenly discovered that although the dog emperor was not well-educated, he had a good ability in engineering.
But at the next moment, Wen Wujue's expression turned cold, and he said firmly, "No."
Xiao Gui was taken aback, "Why?"
"It's too risky."
"How could it be?" Xiao Gui frowned, and just wanted to explain, but he didn't want to reveal the secret, so he said cryptically, "You can leave this matter to me, I only need a thousand soldiers."
Wen Wujue waved his hands, looking bored, "The risk is too great, isn't it worth a thousand soldiers? The emperor thinks it's easy to raise a thousand soldiers?"
Xiao Gui was immediately annoyed, who doesn't need soldiers to fight?Who fights without risk?
Yeqi smiled at this time, and said to himself: "As I expected, the emperor wants to bring gunpowder to blow up the opponent's crossbow?"
Xiao Gui scolded melon skin in his heart, only idiots would blow up the giant crossbow.
But he didn't intend to explain, he just sarcastically said: "Yeah, do you have an opinion?"
"It's not right. I'm afraid we'll be discovered before we get close." Yeqi reminded him kindly.
With Xiao Gui's method, there is no need to get close.
Wen Wujue knew this well, but didn't say a word.
Xiao Gui raised his chin towards Yeqi and said, "This method won't work, so just tell me if you have any good method?"
After hearing this, Yeqi straightened his face in a rare way, pondered for a moment, and said: "Prime Minister, I would suggest that it is better to retreat at this time."
retreat.
Everyone's jaws were about to drop.
After working so hard for a month, you're going to retire?
How many people were lost in the several wars under the city?If this is a retreat, isn't it all useless?
Yeqi shrugged, "No way, he has a giant crossbow, we can't deal with it, if we continue, it will only waste food."
Xiao Gui sneered and said: "If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, you should get out early, you can't do without Daliang's army?"
"Your Majesty, I can't help but say that, but these days, which war have we not rushed to the forefront? To say that we are greedy for life and afraid of death is an insult to us Northwest men."
Wen Wujue waved his hand, stopping the two from continuing to fight.
"Stop making noise, don't you think it's not messy enough?"
Everyone looked at Wen Wujue, waiting for him to make a decision.
After a while, Wen Wujue said slowly but firmly: "Let's withdraw the troops."
Xiao Gui: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Xiao Gui frowned, his scrutinizing eyes darted back and forth over and over again from his father.
His father's mind suddenly flooded?
Why are you listening so much to this little Sao Dazi named Yeqi?
Everyone is also very sorry.
"Prime Minister, the idea that the emperor just said may not be impossible to try, it's a pity to retreat like this."
"Yeah, it's not easy for the army to make a Northern Expedition, and a lot of food was wasted going back and forth."
Wen Wujue sighed, with a hint of exhaustion on his face, and said: "I don't know that the Northern Expedition is not easy, it will damage soldiers and generals, and consume food. But now that the enemy's huge crossbows are in front of us, we are helpless. If we don't withdraw our troops at this time, in half a month, there will be heavy snowfall." The mountain will be closed."
Xiao Gui couldn't see that he was worried and depressed, so he said again: "I said, leave the matter of the crossbow to me."
"I also said that this method is too risky. If you are not careful, the whole army will be buried in the city."
Xiao Gui was about to jump!
Where is the adventure? !
He was angry and didn't want to vent to Wen Wujue, he was so angry that he felt uncomfortable, he immediately dropped everything, slammed the tent door, and went outside to vent his anger.
The rest of the people all looked at each other in blank dismay.
Wen Wujue waved his hands, the tired look on his face looked old-fashioned, "You all go down, make some arrangements, and withdraw the army in the afternoon."
After a month of the Northern Expedition, there was no gain, but the troops had to be withdrawn.
Many young and energetic soldiers were counting on making contributions, but now they have returned without success, and the army is naturally in a downturn.
Wen Wujue and Yeqi stood on a high hill, overlooking the soldiers below who began to pull down their tents and put away their weapons. The battalions were busy with each other, and it was chaotic for a while.
Seeing his gloomy expression, Yeqi said a few witty words, which made him smile.
Xiao Guizheng inspected the damage of soldiers and horses by himself, when he looked up suddenly, he saw his father-in-law talking happily with Ye Qi on a small hill to the east.
He was full of hostility and suddenly floated up again.
At this time, a soldier came to report, "Your Majesty, all the battle damage has been counted, and the injured horses have been handed over to the logistics team for transportation."
Xiao Gui didn't reply, he just waved his hand, expressing that he knew and told him to get out.
Who knew that this soldier was very obedient, seeing him looking in the direction of Wen Wujue and Yeqi with a bad look on his face, he guessed something.
He said softly: "The last general heard that the emperor's plan to attack the city was rejected by the prime minister, but he adopted Yeqi's plan to retreat."
Xiao Gui pursed his lips and did not speak.
Even an unremarkable little soldier knows these things, presumably everyone is discussing in private.
What are you talking about?
Xiao Gui was a little puzzled and curious in his boredom, so he didn't drive him away, and tacitly let him continue.
Xiaobing is also bold, thinking to seize this opportunity to get close to the emperor.
"The general feels that the emperor trusts the prime minister too much. Although the prime minister's loyalty is unquestionable, but now he has such a person who is neither yin nor yang, it is shocking. What if..."
Xiao Bing raised his eyelids and saw that Xiao Gui's expression showed no sign of anger, so he continued, "If the Prime Minister is bewitched by him and obeys this Hulu thief, isn't our Daliang in danger?"
Xiao Gui frowned slightly, "Is that how you guys discussed in private?"
Xiaobing hurriedly shook his head and said: "We dare not talk about the emperor and the prime minister in private, this is just his own idea. Let me say something rebellious, in case the prime minister is bewitched by him and becomes dizzy, and raises troops to rebel..."
For the latter words, the little soldiers will stop.
Xiao Guimo was silent for a moment, then asked softly, "What's your name?"
"The last general is Shan Yu."
Xiaobing was overjoyed and hurriedly reported his name.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Gui's next sentence made people dumbfounded, "Go and get fifty army sticks."
Xiaobing: "..."
Only then did Xiao Gui turn around, his face covered with frost, and he said coldly and condescendingly: "Slandering the prime minister, killing the nine clans is not an exaggeration, get out."
Xiao Bing's face was pale, almost bloodless, his legs and feet were limp, and he scrambled down the ground.
But Xiao Gui's complexion didn't improve at all, on the contrary, it became more serious.
He saw that his father's hand was being squeezed in Yezi's.
Before Xiao Gui could react, he had already rushed out like an angry lion.
Ye Qi helped Wen Wujue down the hill and turned into the army tent.
Wen Wujue worked intensively for several consecutive days, and felt that he had been hollowed out. He had just stood on the hill for a long time, and felt that his eyes were bursting into darkness.
Yeqi helped him to lie down, but seeing that he was wearing a deep robe, his face was pale, but he looked frail and beautiful, so he couldn't help being very moved.
Carefully he helped him take off his boots.
Wen Wujue noticed it, and waved his hand, "No need, I'll do it myself."
Before he could sit up, Yeqi pressed his shoulders, and he smiled ambiguously, "For this kind of thing, just come down."
At this time, the curtain suddenly swayed, and a tall figure came in.
"What are you doing?"
His voice was extremely cold, and his face was even more ugly.
As soon as the words came out, he himself felt that something was wrong, as if he was "catching rape"?
Yeqi was also taken aback, why is the taste of these words not right?
Although he was very moved by this beautiful prime minister, it was only in his mind, and he was far from taking action.
And this little emperor, why does he look...jealous?
Yezi had felt weird for a long time, and today the feeling was even worse.
In order to test what was in his mind, he rolled his eyes, and stretched out his hand to touch Wen Wujue's cheek.
"Prime Minister, I see that you have a fever..."
Before Yeqi finished speaking, he was pulled by the collar by the furious Xiao Gui, and thrown aside.
"Get your dirty paws off!"
Yeqi was thrown on the ground unexpectedly, and a big lump suddenly appeared on his forehead, which caused him to grin his teeth in pain.
Wen Wujue was already extremely tired, and just wanted to take a good rest before returning to the south, but Xiao Gui was never finished.
He darkened his face and said: "Who is this who provoked the emperor and ran here to spoil?"
Xiao Gui was choked up by him, but his mouth was like a dead duck.
"I have nowhere to go, so I can only come to Xiangfu."
Wen Wujue was speechless immediately, this dog emperor.
He knew that he was annoyed by the withdrawal of troops, so he came to make trouble for him, so couldn't he be more obedient?
He closed his eyes, his chest was tight, and he felt short of breath.
"Then how about this, the emperor should not stay in the barracks, lest he will get angry when he sees his ministers, and he can't find a place to vent it."
He paused, and then said: "Anyway, the troops are withdrawn, the emperor will lead the former army to set off first."
Xiao Gui's eyes were stung by his attitude as if he was driving a mangy dog, and he was about to explode.
"Why should I go? I just won't go!"
He left, leaving room for them to love each other?
Xiao Gui stood in front of Wen Wujue's bed like protecting food, refusing to move half a step.
Yeqi is [-]% sure now, the little emperor has unclear feelings for his father-in-law, which is interesting.
He hooked the corners of his mouth, and suddenly felt that this matter had become more interesting. He liked challenges, conquests, and scrambles.
Wen Wujue braced himself to stand up, and looked at Xiao Gui indifferently, "The emperor didn't obey the minister's military orders. This is to tell the army that the minister is a prime minister with no real name. Can the minister's military orders be ignored?"
Xiao Gui's heart and lungs were full of pain, and he hated the indifferent eyes of his father-in-law the most.
Didn't it get better a while ago?Why do I feel like I'm back in the past?
In the past, he always denied him like this, despised him, and never wanted to look at him more.
The irritability and anger that filled his heart and lungs gradually cooled down in his father's cold eyes, like a flame meeting a blizzard, quickly annihilated.
In the end, Xiao Gui didn't say anything, turned around and left the tent.
Wen Wujue exhaled heavily, softened up, and sat on the bed, momentarily dazed.
Yeqi was watching the fire from the sidelines, knowing it well, but he didn't point it out.
"This little emperor, isn't it easy to take along?"
Wen Wujue turned around and lay down, "General, please go out too, I want to rest for a while."
Yezi touched his nose, then bowed his hands in a good manner and withdrew.
When Yeqi was far away, Wen Wujue got up slowly and called a sergeant.
"You get Lu Jia here."
"Yes."
During this expedition, Wen Wujue intentionally trained Lu Jia, and instead of letting him serve by his side, he sent him to a new barracks. Now that he is returning, he should have a guard by his side.
After a short rest in the afternoon, the whole army retreated quietly at night, and the former army led by Xiao Gui had already retreated in the afternoon.
The moonlight is dim, and the snow is falling slowly.
Marching in this kind of weather is the most troublesome, it is dark and cold, the armor is as cold as ice, and the legs are as if filled with ice and snow, so cold that they can hardly walk.
Xiao Gui led the cavalry, but at this time he couldn't see the way forward clearly at night, in order to prevent the enemy from burying the horse ropes in the snow, he tried to test while walking, but the speed was not fast.
Xiao Gui's face was cold and expressionless.
He was still hating his father-in-law, no matter how much wind and snow hit him at this time, he would be ignorant and insensitive.
At this moment, there was a rush of horseshoes in the sound of falling snow. The sound came from the front, and it was definitely not the team led by Xiao Gui.
Xiao Gui immediately became alert and waved his hand to stop the army and watch intently.
After a while, a sergeant in the gray armor of a small soldier came from the front on a high horse, and the snow rustled under his feet.
Everyone is armed with weapons, waiting for a fierce battle.
Unexpectedly, when someone came to Xiao Gui and pulled the scarf off his face, it was actually Lu Jia.
He only let Xiao Gui see his face, and then whispered a few words to him, then Xiao Gui ordered the whole army to stand by, while he himself mounted his horse and followed Lu Jia.
Turned around twice and entered a mountain depression.
But seeing the pitch-black wilderness was empty, amidst the ice and snow, an oil lamp was hanging miserably on a dead tree, and a slender figure stood tall under the tree, and the dim moonlight seemed to take special care of him, leaving lingering marks on his face. The next hang is clear and bright, reflecting the face like jade.
"Father?"
Xiao Gui couldn't believe it.
Wen Wujue's eyes fell on him, and he sighed silently.
But Xiao Gui was overjoyed, he rushed up and hugged him tightly, wrapped him in his snow fur coat into his arms, put his face on his neck, smelled his unique breath, All the resentment just now faded away.
Wen Wujue was so hugged that he could barely breathe, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, let go."
"I won't let you go!" Xiao Gui's whole heart swelled up, and his courage grew even bigger. "What did you tell me exactly?"
Wen Wujue was speechless, although he now felt that the relationship with this dog emperor had eased a lot, but when would it be so good that he would hug and hold each other high when they met?
He pushed his claws away, but the claws changed places and continued to stick.
Wen Wujue had no choice but to talk about the business first.
"The method of attacking the city that the emperor said is actually good. But the emperor overlooked one point, Yeqi has a problem."
Xiao Gui said dissatisfied: "I already knew that he had a problem."
"Since the emperor knows it, he shouldn't show it."
When Xiao Gui thought of the way Yeqina looked at his father, he felt extremely uncomfortable, "I don't like him."
Wen Wujue shook his head, he was still too young to show everything on his face.
That's it.
He continued: "I guess Ye Qi has taken refuge in Beiyan, and Beiyan is inextricably linked with King Ning. If we attack the city rashly, even if we win, we will be forced to make dumplings."
Wen Wujue had vaguely guessed Yeqi's question from the moment he surrendered.
Until the first time he invited Wen Wujue to stand on his own feet, he was sure that there was something wrong with this person.
It is impossible for a general like Ye Qi to seek refuge with King Ning, so Bei Yan is the only one.
Pretending to surrender to Daliang, and then attacking King Ning, when Wen Wujue actually took the city, it was time for Yeqi to rebel and Beiyan to besiege the city.
After figuring this out, Wen Wujue deliberately acted in front of Yeqi.
"But he encouraged Xiangfu to withdraw the army, why did Xiangfu withdraw? Xiangfu is not afraid that he will join Bei Yan and ambush us on the way to withdraw?"
Xiao Gui has been unable to figure this out, even if he doesn't attack the city, it's better to stay and think of a way first.
No matter how bad it is, a few craftsmen will build a giant crossbow together.
It is not easy for an army to travel long distances, and it is better to stay than to withdraw.
Wen Wujue said lightly: "Your Majesty is right, Yeqi's purpose is to ambush our troops on the way to retreat."
Xiao Gui immediately turned serious and let him go, but the distance between the two was still very close, and the hazy mist spit out between the words was lingering between each other.
"What is Xiangfu going to do?"
In the half-bright night, Wen Wujue's eyes were cold and determined.
"This is something that Yezi didn't think of. I didn't intend to really withdraw the troops, but wanted to attack the city in another way."
Xiao Gui frowned, "Another way?"
"Irrigate Liangcheng with water." Wen Wujue said without a word.

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
"What kind of ecstasy was Xiangfu given to him? Believe him so much?"
Wen Wujue's face was as calm as an ancient well, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said: "No need for a suspect,? No doubt for an employer."
Xiao Gui: "..."
A storm was brewing in his suppressed eyes, full of disbelief.
When did his father-in-law become so old-fashioned and pedantic?

Seeing that he could continue talking, a quarrel was inevitable, Wen Wujue said, "Tomorrow the Chinese army will discuss matters in the big tent."
Then he pulled away and left.
Xiao Gui looked at his retreating back, and was so angry that he almost jumped up. The freshly bandaged wound also began to ooze blood.
He was very angry and thought,? This little showman really has the means to subdue his father-in-law so quickly.
He walked up and down in the big tent, his face covered with clouds.
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Gui thought that his father didn't trust him?He just wanted to find evidence that something was wrong with this little Sao Dazi!

The length and width of this object are about tens of feet, and there are huge five-leaf hinged shafts on both sides. From the beginning to the end, it is divided into main bow, lead bow, and copper wire for pulling. Up to several feet.
Although the arm of the crossbow is used as a power arm, the longer it is, the more labor-saving it is, but it is impossible for such a huge crossbow to be manipulated by a few sergeants.
Wen Wujue speculated that they might be drawn by animals such as cows and horses, and manpower only needed to control the direction.
"This thing is not easy to do!"
"We are going to go immediately with thousands of troops, and they are all over the city wall. How can we resist below?"
"Yes! No matter how thick the shield is, it can't withstand such a fierce attack!"

Wen Wujue looked at Yeqi, "Does the general have any countermeasures against the enemy?"
Yeqi rubbed his chin in thought, didn't speak for a long time, then shook his head slowly, as if he didn't have any plan.
But seeing Xiao Gui staring at him coldly, he approached Wen Wujue pretending to be joking, and said ambiguously, "You don't listen to the prime minister?"
Xiao Gui immediately frowned, took three steps and made two steps, squeezed in between the two, and stepped hard on Yeqi's instep with his foot.
"Uh--"
Yeqi snorted and took two steps back with a smile on his face.
The others didn't notice anything unusual, and Wen Wujue was close at hand, looking thoughtfully at the two mad dogs who were at odds.
Xiao Gui stepped on Yeqi until his face turned pale, and then he slowly moved his foot away and turned his face away.
"I have an idea."
"Oh?" Wen Wujue narrowed his eyes, "Let's listen."

Wen Wujue suddenly remembered that Xiao Gui had been staring at the drawing just now, his expression did not seem to be joking.
The core of this kind of giant crossbow is the trigger. If you find the correct position, let a highly skilled archer shoot arrows with gunpowder and ignite the trigger, which can often make a huge crossbow useless.
But this kind of location is often hidden very deeply and is not easy to find.
Hearing Xiao Gui's idea, he should know where the location is.
His eyes flicked across Xiao Gui's face, and he suddenly discovered that although the dog emperor was not well-educated, he had a good ability in engineering.
But at the next moment, Wen Wujue's expression turned cold, and he said firmly, "No."
Xiao Gui was taken aback, "Why?"
"It's too risky."
"How could it be?" Xiao Gui frowned, and just wanted to explain, but he didn't want to reveal the secret, so he said cryptically, "You can leave this matter to me, I only need a thousand soldiers."
Wen Wujue waved his hands, looking bored, "The risk is too great, isn't it worth a thousand soldiers? The emperor thinks it's easy to raise a thousand soldiers?"
Xiao Gui was immediately annoyed, who doesn't need soldiers to fight?Who fights without risk?
Yeqi smiled at this time, and said to himself: "As I expected, the emperor wants to bring gunpowder to blow up the opponent's crossbow?"
Xiao Gui scolded melon skin in his heart, only idiots would blow up the giant crossbow.
But he didn't intend to explain, he just sarcastically said: "Yeah, do you have an opinion?"
"It's not right. I'm afraid we'll be discovered before we get close." Yeqi reminded him kindly.
With Xiao Gui's method, there is no need to get close.
Wen Wujue knew this well, but didn't say a word.
Xiao Gui raised his chin towards Yeqi and said, "This method won't work, so just tell me if you have any good method?"
After hearing this, Yeqi straightened his face in a rare way, pondered for a moment, and said: "Prime Minister, I would suggest that it is better to retreat at this time."
retreat.
Everyone's jaws were about to drop.
After working so hard for a month, you're going to retire?
How many people were lost in the several wars under the city?If this is a retreat, isn't it all useless?
Yeqi shrugged, "No way, he has a giant crossbow, we can't deal with it, if we continue, it will only waste food."
Xiao Gui sneered and said: "If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, you should get out early, you can't do without Daliang's army?"
"Your Majesty, I can't help but say that, but these days, which war have we not rushed to the forefront? To say that we are greedy for life and afraid of death is an insult to us Northwest men."
Wen Wujue waved his hand, stopping the two from continuing to fight.
"Stop making noise, don't you think it's not messy enough?"
Everyone looked at Wen Wujue, waiting for him to make a decision.
After a while, Wen Wujue said slowly but firmly: "Let's withdraw the troops."
Xiao Gui: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Xiao Gui frowned, his scrutinizing eyes darted back and forth over and over again from his father.
His father's mind suddenly flooded?
Why are you listening so much to this little Sao Dazi named Yeqi?
Everyone is also very sorry.
"Prime Minister, the idea that the emperor just said may not be impossible to try, it's a pity to retreat like this."
"Yeah, it's not easy for the army to make a Northern Expedition, and a lot of food was wasted going back and forth."
Wen Wujue sighed, with a hint of exhaustion on his face, and said: "I don't know that the Northern Expedition is not easy, it will damage soldiers and generals, and consume food. But now that the enemy's huge crossbows are in front of us, we are helpless. If we don't withdraw our troops at this time, in half a month, there will be heavy snowfall." The mountain will be closed."
Xiao Gui couldn't see that he was worried and depressed, so he said again: "I said, leave the matter of the crossbow to me."
"I also said that this method is too risky. If you are not careful, the whole army will be buried in the city."
Xiao Gui was about to jump!
Where is the adventure? !
He was angry and didn't want to vent to Wen Wujue, he was so angry that he felt uncomfortable, he immediately dropped everything, slammed the tent door, and went outside to vent his anger.
The rest of the people all looked at each other in blank dismay.
Wen Wujue waved his hands, the tired look on his face looked old-fashioned, "You all go down, make some arrangements, and withdraw the army in the afternoon."
After a month of the Northern Expedition, there was no gain, but the troops had to be withdrawn.
Many young and energetic soldiers were counting on making contributions, but now they have returned without success, and the army is naturally in a downturn.
Wen Wujue and Yeqi stood on a high hill, overlooking the soldiers below who began to pull down their tents and put away their weapons. The battalions were busy with each other, and it was chaotic for a while.
Seeing his gloomy expression, Yeqi said a few witty words, which made him smile.
Xiao Guizheng inspected the damage of soldiers and horses by himself, when he looked up suddenly, he saw his father-in-law talking happily with Ye Qi on a small hill to the east.
He was full of hostility and suddenly floated up again.
At this time, a soldier came to report, "Your Majesty, all the battle damage has been counted, and the injured horses have been handed over to the logistics team for transportation."
Xiao Gui didn't reply, he just waved his hand, expressing that he knew and told him to get out.
Who knew that this soldier was very obedient, seeing him looking in the direction of Wen Wujue and Yeqi with a bad look on his face, he guessed something.
He said softly: "The last general heard that the emperor's plan to attack the city was rejected by the prime minister, but he adopted Yeqi's plan to retreat."
Xiao Gui pursed his lips and did not speak.
Even an unremarkable little soldier knows these things, presumably everyone is discussing in private.
What are you talking about?
Xiao Gui was a little puzzled and curious in his boredom, so he didn't drive him away, and tacitly let him continue.
Xiaobing is also bold, thinking to seize this opportunity to get close to the emperor.
"The general feels that the emperor trusts the prime minister too much. Although the prime minister's loyalty is unquestionable, but now he has such a person who is neither yin nor yang, it is shocking. What if..."
Xiao Bing raised his eyelids and saw that Xiao Gui's expression showed no sign of anger, so he continued, "If the Prime Minister is bewitched by him and obeys this Hulu thief, isn't our Daliang in danger?"
Xiao Gui frowned slightly, "Is that how you guys discussed in private?"
Xiaobing hurriedly shook his head and said: "We dare not talk about the emperor and the prime minister in private, this is just his own idea. Let me say something rebellious, in case the prime minister is bewitched by him and becomes dizzy, and raises troops to rebel..."
For the latter words, the little soldiers will stop.
Xiao Guimo was silent for a moment, then asked softly, "What's your name?"
"The last general is Shan Yu."
Xiaobing was overjoyed and hurriedly reported his name.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Gui's next sentence made people dumbfounded, "Go and get fifty army sticks."
Xiaobing: "..."
Only then did Xiao Gui turn around, his face covered with frost, and he said coldly and condescendingly: "Slandering the prime minister, killing the nine clans is not an exaggeration, get out."
Xiao Bing's face was pale, almost bloodless, his legs and feet were limp, and he scrambled down the ground.
But Xiao Gui's complexion didn't improve at all, on the contrary, it became more serious.
He saw that his father's hand was being squeezed in Yezi's.
Before Xiao Gui could react, he had already rushed out like an angry lion.
Ye Qi helped Wen Wujue down the hill and turned into the army tent.
Wen Wujue worked intensively for several consecutive days, and felt that he had been hollowed out. He had just stood on the hill for a long time, and felt that his eyes were bursting into darkness.
Yeqi helped him to lie down, but seeing that he was wearing a deep robe, his face was pale, but he looked frail and beautiful, so he couldn't help being very moved.
Carefully he helped him take off his boots.
Wen Wujue noticed it, and waved his hand, "No need, I'll do it myself."
Before he could sit up, Yeqi pressed his shoulders, and he smiled ambiguously, "For this kind of thing, just come down."
At this time, the curtain suddenly swayed, and a tall figure came in.
"What are you doing?"
His voice was extremely cold, and his face was even more ugly.
As soon as the words came out, he himself felt that something was wrong, as if he was "catching rape"?
Yeqi was also taken aback, why is the taste of these words not right?
Although he was very moved by this beautiful prime minister, it was only in his mind, and he was far from taking action.
And this little emperor, why does he look...jealous?
Yezi had felt weird for a long time, and today the feeling was even worse.
In order to test what was in his mind, he rolled his eyes, and stretched out his hand to touch Wen Wujue's cheek.
"Prime Minister, I see that you have a fever..."
Before Yeqi finished speaking, he was pulled by the collar by the furious Xiao Gui, and thrown aside.
"Get your dirty paws off!"
Yeqi was thrown on the ground unexpectedly, and a big lump suddenly appeared on his forehead, which caused him to grin his teeth in pain.
Wen Wujue was already extremely tired, and just wanted to take a good rest before returning to the south, but Xiao Gui was never finished.
He darkened his face and said: "Who is this who provoked the emperor and ran here to spoil?"
Xiao Gui was choked up by him, but his mouth was like a dead duck.
"I have nowhere to go, so I can only come to Xiangfu."
Wen Wujue was speechless immediately, this dog emperor.
He knew that he was annoyed by the withdrawal of troops, so he came to make trouble for him, so couldn't he be more obedient?
He closed his eyes, his chest was tight, and he felt short of breath.
"Then how about this, the emperor should not stay in the barracks, lest he will get angry when he sees his ministers, and he can't find a place to vent it."
He paused, and then said: "Anyway, the troops are withdrawn, the emperor will lead the former army to set off first."
Xiao Gui's eyes were stung by his attitude as if he was driving a mangy dog, and he was about to explode.
"Why should I go? I just won't go!"
He left, leaving room for them to love each other?
Xiao Gui stood in front of Wen Wujue's bed like protecting food, refusing to move half a step.
Yeqi is [-]% sure now, the little emperor has unclear feelings for his father-in-law, which is interesting.
He hooked the corners of his mouth, and suddenly felt that this matter had become more interesting. He liked challenges, conquests, and scrambles.
Wen Wujue braced himself to stand up, and looked at Xiao Gui indifferently, "The emperor didn't obey the minister's military orders. This is to tell the army that the minister is a prime minister with no real name. Can the minister's military orders be ignored?"
Xiao Gui's heart and lungs were full of pain, and he hated the indifferent eyes of his father-in-law the most.
Didn't it get better a while ago?Why do I feel like I'm back in the past?
In the past, he always denied him like this, despised him, and never wanted to look at him more.
The irritability and anger that filled his heart and lungs gradually cooled down in his father's cold eyes, like a flame meeting a blizzard, quickly annihilated.
In the end, Xiao Gui didn't say anything, turned around and left the tent.
Wen Wujue exhaled heavily, softened up, and sat on the bed, momentarily dazed.
Yeqi was watching the fire from the sidelines, knowing it well, but he didn't point it out.
"This little emperor, isn't it easy to take along?"
Wen Wujue turned around and lay down, "General, please go out too, I want to rest for a while."
Yezi touched his nose, then bowed his hands in a good manner and withdrew.
When Yeqi was far away, Wen Wujue got up slowly and called a sergeant.
"You get Lu Jia here."
"Yes."
During this expedition, Wen Wujue intentionally trained Lu Jia, and instead of letting him serve by his side, he sent him to a new barracks. Now that he is returning, he should have a guard by his side.
After a short rest in the afternoon, the whole army retreated quietly at night, and the former army led by Xiao Gui had already retreated in the afternoon.
The moonlight is dim, and the snow is falling slowly.
Marching in this kind of weather is the most troublesome, it is dark and cold, the armor is as cold as ice, and the legs are as if filled with ice and snow, so cold that they can hardly walk.
Xiao Gui led the cavalry, but at this time he couldn't see the way forward clearly at night, in order to prevent the enemy from burying the horse ropes in the snow, he tried to test while walking, but the speed was not fast.
Xiao Gui's face was cold and expressionless.
He was still hating his father-in-law, no matter how much wind and snow hit him at this time, he would be ignorant and insensitive.
At this moment, there was a rush of horseshoes in the sound of falling snow. The sound came from the front, and it was definitely not the team led by Xiao Gui.
Xiao Gui immediately became alert and waved his hand to stop the army and watch intently.
After a while, a sergeant in the gray armor of a small soldier came from the front on a high horse, and the snow rustled under his feet.
Everyone is armed with weapons, waiting for a fierce battle.
Unexpectedly, when someone came to Xiao Gui and pulled the scarf off his face, it was actually Lu Jia.
He only let Xiao Gui see his face, and then whispered a few words to him, then Xiao Gui ordered the whole army to stand by, while he himself mounted his horse and followed Lu Jia.
Turned around twice and entered a mountain depression.
But seeing the pitch-black wilderness was empty, amidst the ice and snow, an oil lamp was hanging miserably on a dead tree, and a slender figure stood tall under the tree, and the dim moonlight seemed to take special care of him, leaving lingering marks on his face. The next hang is clear and bright, reflecting the face like jade.
"Father?"
Xiao Gui couldn't believe it.
Wen Wujue's eyes fell on him, and he sighed silently.
But Xiao Gui was overjoyed, he rushed up and hugged him tightly, wrapped him in his snow fur coat into his arms, put his face on his neck, smelled his unique breath, All the resentment just now faded away.
Wen Wujue was so hugged that he could barely breathe, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, let go."
"I won't let you go!" Xiao Gui's whole heart swelled up, and his courage grew even bigger. "What did you tell me exactly?"
Wen Wujue was speechless, although he now felt that the relationship with this dog emperor had eased a lot, but when would it be so good that he would hug and hold each other high when they met?
He pushed his claws away, but the claws changed places and continued to stick.
Wen Wujue had no choice but to talk about the business first.
"The method of attacking the city that the emperor said is actually good. But the emperor overlooked one point, Yeqi has a problem."
Xiao Gui said dissatisfied: "I already knew that he had a problem."
"Since the emperor knows it, he shouldn't show it."
When Xiao Gui thought of the way Yeqina looked at his father, he felt extremely uncomfortable, "I don't like him."
Wen Wujue shook his head, he was still too young to show everything on his face.
That's it.
He continued: "I guess Ye Qi has taken refuge in Beiyan, and Beiyan is inextricably linked with King Ning. If we attack the city rashly, even if we win, we will be forced to make dumplings."
Wen Wujue had vaguely guessed Yeqi's question from the moment he surrendered.
Until the first time he invited Wen Wujue to stand on his own feet, he was sure that there was something wrong with this person.
It is impossible for a general like Ye Qi to seek refuge with King Ning, so Bei Yan is the only one.
Pretending to surrender to Daliang, and then attacking King Ning, when Wen Wujue actually took the city, it was time for Yeqi to rebel and Beiyan to besiege the city.
After figuring this out, Wen Wujue deliberately acted in front of Yeqi.
"But he encouraged Xiangfu to withdraw the army, why did Xiangfu withdraw? Xiangfu is not afraid that he will join Bei Yan and ambush us on the way to withdraw?"
Xiao Gui has been unable to figure this out, even if he doesn't attack the city, it's better to stay and think of a way first.
No matter how bad it is, a few craftsmen will build a giant crossbow together.
It is not easy for an army to travel long distances, and it is better to stay than to withdraw.
Wen Wujue said lightly: "Your Majesty is right, Yeqi's purpose is to ambush our troops on the way to retreat."
Xiao Gui immediately turned serious and let him go, but the distance between the two was still very close, and the hazy mist spit out between the words was lingering between each other.
"What is Xiangfu going to do?"
In the half-bright night, Wen Wujue's eyes were cold and determined.
"This is something that Yezi didn't think of. I didn't intend to really withdraw the troops, but wanted to attack the city in another way."
Xiao Gui frowned, "Another way?"
"Irrigate Liangcheng with water." Wen Wujue said without a word.
