Offer a tripod

The Yulin Pass road is narrow and blocked, and there are often wind and sand infestation.Recently, it has been cloudy and rainy again, and the sky has become increasingly dark and unclear.On the rugged path, a scout horse rushed into the city with a long whip.The military chief verified the identity of the visitor and led him to the residence of Prince Ranchi.The people here are remote and poor, ragged people can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, but the posthouses are decorated magnificently, which is extremely abrupt.Before reaching the door, more singing and laughter came.Ran Chi was so drunk that he lay on the beautiful woman's lap, holding another's hand, whispering and flirting.The head of the bodyguard is accustomed to this, holding the secret letter in his hand, knelt down and said: "Your Highness, a secret letter has come from the country." Seeing that he was lazily not moving, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It was... from over there. .”

Ran Chi twitched the veins on his forehead, sat up slightly, and said with disgust, "What did he say?"

The chief guard unfolded the secret letter, and after reading it, he said: "The eldest prince said that there are so many affairs in the country that it is difficult to send troops to help. And the rainy season is approaching. When Dayan attacks and seizes the city, he may not be able to help. For the safety of His Highness, please Leave first."

Ran Chi snorted coldly and said: "Father only gave him some kindness, and he couldn't wait to tell me what to do, saying that he was worried about my safety, bah, but I just don't want to see me make great achievements and steal his limelight!"

The chief guard said: "Your Highness, it was a fluke for us to seize the city this time. The general of the Yan Kingdom has already left the capital. It is expected that he will attack the city in the near future. If the eldest prince refuses to respond, we will not be able to defend the city. For your safety , let’s listen to him again.”

Ran Chi kicked away the delicate beauty kneeling at his feet irritably, and looked aside: "What do you say?" The response from the other side slowed down, and immediately cursed: "It's just a lame leg, and I can't even speak. Did you say it?"

Beside the bead curtain, Yuan Xi raised her head.Perhaps because of recovering from a serious illness, he was extremely emaciated, he was dressed in fine clothes, and his face was old that didn't match his age.That day he fell down the cliff, luckily survived, dragged a broken leg, hid deep in the mountains, was found by the people sent by Ran Chi, and only then did he save his life.It's just that the broken right leg was not healed in time, and the root cause of the disease has fallen, and it is still unable to walk like ordinary people.Uncomfortably, he covered his right leg with his sleeve.He whispered: "We didn't come here for this city. If we hurt His Highness because of this, the gain will outweigh the loss. Now that Chu Yu has left Beijing..."

Ran Chi said impatiently: "Tanma said that the team that left Beijing all wore masks, so they couldn't see their real faces, and the person who came here might not be Chu Yu."

The muscles on Yuan Xi's face trembled, showing a sinister smile: "Your Highness can trust me this time, the person who came must be him. This person entered Beijing as a proton, and he has not changed his arrogant temper for several years. Although he didn't mention it, I know that he definitely wants to leave the capital and take control of the military. Besides, he has been in collusion with my younger brother for a long time. There was a very unpleasant quarrel because of me before, and now he is reconciling the old relationship. Even... How could he let go of this good opportunity to force my younger brother into submission? My younger brother has always been soft-hearted, and he couldn't stand his overtures, and he would never refuse to be coaxed by him. It's just that the gap between the two has grown, How can we still be as close as before. Now that he has stepped out of the capital, our plan will be more than half successful."

Ran Chi played with the gold cup, thought for a moment, and then softened his tone: "Forget it, I believe you. It's just that I have rarely had the opportunity to show off my ambitions since I was an adult. Issue the second imperial edict, and praise me, if the boss scares you back with a single word... I can’t come down to the imperial father’s place.” He took a sip of wine and thought deeply: “Chu Yu hastily returned to the northern border, the Chu family’s army Those old generals who were looking forward to the return of General Shenwu might not be willing to obey him. The soldiers approached the city, and they probably wouldn't come so soon. This king condescended to stay here for a few more days, and when they really mobilized troops, they would not be too late. "

Yuan Xi said: "What Your Highness said is that you defended to the end in order to protect the territory. It is expected that the king of Wei will praise you for your bravery. But the eldest prince refused to send troops to help, and the land he got was taken away again. You don't even think about brotherhood, which makes you fight alone." He smiled slightly, and exchanged a tacit look with Ran Chi.

Ran Chi laughed loudly, and ordered people to fill the bottle with wine for him: "In the end, it's your way. If this is done, this king will reward you very much!" Yuan Xi said modestly: "Your Highness has repeatedly helped me, so I naturally want to do it for you." With all my heart."

The chief guard was not as lenient as they were, and stood aside with a sad look on his face: "Your Highness, we have limited manpower, in case we don't have time to leave..."

As soon as Ran Chi was reminded by him, he was a bit worried after all. His men were only a few thousand soldiers and horses. If he really tried to fight, he might not be able to escape from Dayan's iron cavalry. He looked at the beauty's hand holding the cup, and suddenly felt Plan: "Ask people to arrest all the people in the city. On the day when the Yan army attacked the city, tie them to the tower and drag them on for the king."

With the autumn wind, the coolness in northern Xinjiang is gradually growing.The ten-mile camp was lit up, and there was silence everywhere.A black-feathered hawk flew down from the frosty sky and quietly landed in front of the large tent of the Chinese army.Fang Qing looked both sides calmly before pulling out the secret letter under the iron ring.They have been away from Beijing for nearly a month, and the eyeliner in the palace will send a letter every seven days, secretly reporting the emperor's affairs. The previous few times they all summed up "everything as usual", but today's secret letter feels thicker .

Fang Qing kept an eye out, stood outside the tent and opened it, looked at it casually for a few times, his face changed drastically, and hurriedly moved closer to look at it again.What was said in the letter was unexpected, his mind was in a mess, and countless thoughts came out, before he considered whether the letter was true or not, Chu Yu had already heard the movement, and said in it: "What is it?" ?”

When Fang Qing heard his voice, his first thought was: It would be terrible if he knew!There was another urging question, Fang Qing wiped the cold sweat from his palms by his side, and walked in calmly.When he looked up, he saw Chu Yu standing with his back, looking at the map of Yulin Pass by the light, hesitated for a moment, and replied: "It's nothing, it's a secret message from the palace."

Chu Yu let out a "huh" and said in a flat tone, "How do you say it?"

Ten days ago, they happened to intercept the letter written by Yuan Jing and sent to Quli. There was nothing shady in the content, but the sentence at the end, "I hope to meet you again", really made Chu Yu sullen for several days It's a pity that I can't vent this matter, not only can't get angry with that person in Beijing, but I have to order someone to reseal the letter and send it to Wu Shan as it is.Because of this jealousy, he didn't read the letters from the palace very much.

Fang Qing's thoughts changed sharply, thinking to himself that the battle was imminent, it would be better to hide it from him, and said slowly: "Go back to the general, the same as before." The tone was unnatural, but it couldn't be concealed.Chu Yu glanced back at him, Fang Qing stood up straight, seeing that he opened his mouth to ask, and tightened his hand holding the letter paper.

At this moment, whispers came from outside, and after a while, the soldiers entered the interior and said: "General, Chu Shao asked to see you."

Chu Yu was slightly surprised, and said, "Please come in."

Although Chu Yu's return this time calmed down the dissatisfaction of the Chu family army for the time being, he was single-handedly promoted by Chu Yu. The generals with great military achievements had many comments on this young and handsome young master.Tomorrow will be his first inspection at the school grounds. Chu Shao, who is stationed far away in Fengdu, heard that his brother has returned, and he brought five thousand soldiers back to the camp overnight so that he can dispatch him.The two brothers hadn't seen each other for a few years, so it was inevitable that they felt a little distant. That's why when Chu Shao entered the door, his eyes lingered on Fang Qing for a moment, before turning to the main seat.After seeing this, his sight was completely fixed, he knelt down on one knee, and said with some emotion: "Brother."

Chu Yu made a gesture, Fang Qing hurriedly stepped forward, and secretly hid the note by helping him.Chu Shao was born with a pink face and sword eyebrows, quite delicate.Although he is still young, he usually looks like a Confucian general when he speaks and acts in his own residence.Now facing his elder brother, he suddenly became shy.Fang Qing retreated quietly, leaving his brothers to chat freely.

Talking about Chu Yu's return, Chu Shaodao said: "I heard that my brother left the capital, so I wanted to send someone to meet you, just because of the loss of Yulin Pass, all the passes are under martial law, and there is really no room for manpower. I heard that my brother is going to mobilize troops in a few days, so I hurried over here." Speaking of this, he looked at him expectantly: "I don't know when father will come back?"

Seeing him leaning forward when he spoke, Chu Yu looked a little attached, and couldn't help but said in a gentle voice: "Father still has some unfinished business, and he probably won't be back in a short time. You don't have to worry, the emperor didn't blame you for the Yulin Pass incident." It's his fault, father is doing what he wants to do now."

Chu Shao nodded vigorously: "My brother said nothing happened, so I'm relieved." There was no doubt in the words, Chu Yu was a little surprised, but also had a sense of familiarity. Thinking back to the past, Yuan Jing was so dependent No matter what you say or do, you can trust yourself.Turning around, thinking of that letter, I couldn't help sighing.

Chu Shaoyou remembered his indifference and aloofness in the past, and rarely talked or laughed with others, so he was silent.After hesitating again and again, he said softly, "Brother?"

Chu Yu looked at him almost immediately: "Huh?"

Chu Shao lowered his eyes and didn't see the tenderness in his eyes: "Brother, you must have suffered a lot in Beijing these years. I have always felt guilty in my heart. In fact, my father asked me at that time if I would like to enter Beijing. I... didn't dare to agree, my eldest brother has military merits and is the eldest son of the family, he is a hundred times more successful than me, so I should have gone."

Chu Yu couldn't help laughing, patted him on the shoulder, and said warmly: "You call me big brother, I should stand in front of you if something happens, besides, I have not had a bad time in the capital these few years." He smiled : "The wind and the moon in Beijing are very beautiful. If it were you who went there, I'm afraid I don't want to come back."

Chu Shao heard his implication, and said in surprise: "Brother, do you want to go back?"

Chu Yu smiled and said nothing, "There is still work to do tomorrow, you have come to work hard, go back and rest first." Get up and send him out of the tent.
