138 What is cruel is war, but what is terrible is human nature
I saw the newcomer laughing, and I didn’t hear the old one crying, and the love between children grew for a moment, as if it was like peach blossoms...
Fifty miles away from the border of Daliang, the army of Daliang was stationed here, while the army of the Northern Wei was stationed in another place less than twenty miles away from them. The two armies fought and fought and stood at a large battle. It was already the middle of winter and the temperature was low. There was no movement in the Northern Wei side in the past two days, which also gave Daliang a chance to breathe. Although they won several consecutive battles, the Daliang army did not get any benefits. The Northern Wei people were not only strong in their troops, but also extremely fierce in their methods, which made Chen Yuzhang and others suffer a lot. Now the weather is getting worse day by day, and the climate in the north is very dry and cold, which is a test for the Daliang army. There are many soldiers in the army who are not adapted to the climate, some are already sick, and some are injured. If this continues, the situation is very unfavorable.
At this time, in the main tent, Xiao Nanfeng, Chen Yuzhang, and Xiao Tong were thinking about countermeasures to deal with. Chen Yuzhang advocated a battle and wanted to take advantage of the previous few victories and take the initiative to take advantage of the victory. He was afraid that the further he dragged them, the more disabled, sick and weak they would be dragged down by then, but the increasingly harsh climate... But Xiao Nanfeng did not agree with this approach. They could not confirm what the situation was in the Northern Wei side. The most important thing was that it was close to the Northern Wei side. If it fought hard, it would be difficult for them to withdraw at that time.
Xiao Tong thought carefully about the opinions of both of them. Both of them made sense, but if they just waited and spent it like this, it would not be a long-term solution. As the head coach of this expedition, he must think of a way to do everything. After thinking for a while, "Now, whether it is taking the initiative to attack or recuperate on the spot, there are different risks. I have an idea..."
The other two in the account couldn't help looking at him after hearing this, waiting for him to continue...
Xiao Tong pondered for a moment and said, "I want to send a cavalry battalion to go to the Northern Wei army camp in the middle of the night to explore the truth and reality. If the situation there is favorable to us, we will take advantage of the situation to launch a sneak attack. If it is not favorable to us, we can think of another way."
Both men fell into deep thoughts after hearing this. After thinking about it, it seemed that this method was the most risky. If you explore the Northern Wei army camp at night, if you don’t have any accidents, you will know the current situation of the Northern Wei Dynasty without any injuries. No matter whether it is beneficial or not, they will be able to escape unscathed.
The two men who were thinking looked at each other at the same time... This plan is feasible...
Xiao Tong also saw from the expressions of the two that his methods were recognized by them.
At this time, Chen Yuzhang spoke, "Then let me lead the cavalry battalion to the Northern Wei army camp first to explore the road."
Xiao Tong took over the conversation and said, "General Chen should arrange troops from the rear. How about leaving me the opportunity to charge in the battle?" As early as when he came up with this method, he had such a plan in his mind. As the prince of the Eastern Palace, he has been living a pampering life in Jiankang and has no military achievements. He also wanted to take this opportunity to make achievements for himself, which will also help him board the plane in the future.
The account fell silent for a while. Xiao Tong had a noble identity. This time he volunteered to go to the battlefield, which caused a sensation in the court. Xiao Yan specially sent Xiao Nanfeng to come, but he was worried about the prince. On the surface, he asked him to come up with advice, but in fact he was escorting. Xiao Tong must not make any mistakes...
Seeing no one, Xiao Tong smiled and said, "General Chen is not afraid that I will steal your military merits."
Chen Yuzhang was stunned at first, and then replied with a smile, "How could it be, what is the Crown Prince's words?" They were just worried about his safety. The future crown prince would not be a joke.
"Then, if you become a military merit this time, you will be considered General Shen, and if you are defeated, you will be the prince's, what about it?"
After saying that, Chen Yuzhang and Xiao Nanfeng couldn't help laughing. At this time, the crown prince could still make such jokes. It is worthy of being the crown prince Xiao Yan ordered. He has been firmly in the Eastern Palace for so many years, and he really has the spirit of everyone. Seeing that he was like this, Chen Yuzhang couldn't refuse anymore. He looked at Xiao Nanfeng beside him and Xiao Nanfeng nodded slightly to him to show that he also agreed. A man, the future lord of a country, would have to make some achievements, otherwise how would he convince the public in the future.
After several people reached an agreement, they arranged for Xiao Tong to lead a cavalry battalion to sneak into the Northern Wei Dynasty to inquire about information first, while Chen Yuzhang led a large army to support him. If the information found in front was favorable, Chen Yuzhang would immediately take the people to kill him. If the news was unfavorable, they would quietly withdraw in secret. They would plan to the next night, and everything would be arranged in secret, just waiting for the arrival of the night...
Yangzhou
At this moment, snow was floating in Yangzhou City. Xiao Qingyue was walking on the streets of Yangzhou City wearing a heavy cloak, holding an umbrella for her, and Ran Yu and Luluo followed her. Since Xiao Nanfeng left, she often went out to the house to stroll around, whether it was to waste time or boredom, only she knew that she just wanted to find something to do to make herself not think of that man... She missed Xiao Nanfeng very much, and wanted very much... Looking at the people walking in the street, Xiao Qingyue couldn't help but miss Xiao Youyu and Xiao Yuzhan in Jiankang again. If it weren't for the turbulent situation at the moment, she really wanted to sneak back to Jiankang to see them.
When several people arrived near Huaiyang Tower, a beggar in rags and scattered hair was curled up against the wall. Every time Xiao Qingyue came out and walked here, she would see her, and she would give her some money. Although the beggar was dirty all over and her face was dark, it was not difficult for her to see that the beggar was a girl.
Today, Xiao Qingyue gave some money and stuff like before and put it in front of the trembling person. Today, she looked at the girl a few more times. For some reason, every time she passed by, she always felt that this person was a little familiar. She squatted down and asked, "It's so cold, hurry up and find a place to avoid it."
The person close to the corner of the wall couldn't help but tremble even harder, and he didn't say anything but just tremble.
Lian Qiao, who was behind her, said, "Maybe she is a mute. She has never spoken several times since she met her."
Luluo came over and said to the person squatting on the ground, "Madam, let's go back, the snow is getting heavier and heavier."
After looking at it for a while, Xiao Qingyue stood up and prepared to leave. After walking a few steps, she looked back and looked back. The dark figure leaning against the wall in the heavy snow. Seeing this, she felt compassion. It was such a cold day. If the girl stayed here forever, she would probably freeze to death.
After retracting his gaze, he ordered, "Ran Yu, take that girl back to Xiao's house later."
“Yes, madam”
There are many incredible things in this world. Xiao Qingyue didn't expect that because she looked at those few more times, the person she brought back was an old acquaintance they all knew.
After Ran Yu brought the dirty girl back to Xiao's house, he washed the person from head to toe as Xiao Qingyue ordered. When the dark face was washed away... Not only Ran Yu was shocked, but also Lian Qiao, who was helping her at the time...
Lian Qiao quickly reported what she saw here to Xiao Qingyue. When Xiao Qingyue heard this news, she quickly followed her to the bathroom room in the mansion to see what was going on.
At this time, the person sitting in the big bathtub had already washed away the dirt. Various scars were intertwined on his fair skin, both new and old, and they were wet. The originally beautiful face was destroyed by a deep scar. And only one of the slightly dull eyes was still there, and the other eye socket was already a black hole.
Xiao Qingyue, who was coming in a hurry, couldn't believe it, staring at the person sitting in the wooden barrel without moving... because of her slightly opened lips, she also shook a little. Looking at the person who looked neither human nor ghost, she still called out her name undeniably.
"Fu...Furong...How could you become like this!" He was covered in wounds, his face was destroyed, and his eyes were blind. What was going on!
Furong was still just sitting, her eyes were dull and her appearance was stupid, like a soulless puppet...
"Furong?!" Xiao Qingyue couldn't help but shouted louder. Why did she keep silent? This is very strange.
At this time, Ran Yu, who was standing beside him, took the speech and said, "Madam, she can no longer speak now."
Xiao Qingyue looked at the person who was talking in confusion, but couldn't speak? What does it mean?!
Seeing her face full of suspicion and questioning, Ran Yu thought about it and still found out the truth. "Her tongue...is gone..."
After the words came, Xiao Qingyue's pupils shrank, and her tongue disappeared?! Before she could recover from the shock, Ran Yu's voice came again.
"Also, her ears seemed to be filled with something. Now she shouldn't hear anything... her limbs... were interrupted. It seems that she is now stupid..."
The more Xiao Qingyue heard, her eyes wider and her heart was fluctuating rapidly. At this moment, for some reason, what flashed her mind was Jiang, who had been sent away.
Furong has become like this now. She doesn't need to think about it. It must be Xiao Nanfeng who asked me to do this. How could such a gentle and jade-like person... Xiao Qingyue can't believe it.
There was nothing much, just letting someone take good care of Furong, who was already like a dead person. Then she quickly found Xu Fu, the housekeeper in the house...
Xu Fu came to the main courtyard respectfully. He was the old man next to Xiao Nanfeng. He could understand his master's temperament clearly. He knew about Furong's rescue. He had just learned about Furong. He thought Xiao Qingyue would ask about Furong... After coming, the person with a bad face asked him about news about another person...
Xiao Qingyue stood at the door and looked at the yard. The snow was getting heavier and heavier. She breathed out and asked.
"Uncle Fu, I want to ask you something"
"What is your order? Just tell me."
"What did you do to Jiang before she left Xiao's house?"
Xu Fu was shocked, and a panic flashed in his eyes. Could it be that Xiao Qingyue had appeared?
Then he smiled and replied, "Did the lady have any misunderstandings or have you heard some rumors?"
"You haven't answered my question yet."
"On the same day, the old slave did not do anything except to take care of everything to send her out of the mansion." He said this correctly. He did not do anything to add mute medicine to Jiang at that time, but just supervised it on the side.
Putting away the gaze outside the house, Xiao Qingyue looked at the person with a very humble attitude, and then asked, "Uncle Fu, how long have you been with the Sixth Prince?"
"Report to my wife, when the prince came out of the founding of the mansion at the age of twelve, the old slave had been serving him." Xu Fu was puzzled, why did he suddenly ask about this?
At this time, Xiao Qingyue's eyes became colder little by little, just like the climate outside.
"Uncle Fu knows that the prince went to Suzhou when he was young."
Xu Fu was stunned and replied, "I have been there. The prince has always been in love with mountains and rivers, and has been to many places."
A faint sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she finally asked again, "Did the prince meet Jiang when he was in Suzhou..."
Xu Fu's expression changed slightly, and then he returned to his original state, and replied, "I don't know much about this, I'm not very clear about it."
Don't you know! Xiao Qingyue's heart was also cold, and something became clearer in her heart... I want to talk about "Where is the bright moon in the breeze" with more like-minded people, follow "popular online articles or rd4" on WeChat and talk about your favorite books with more book friends
