Chapter 426: Save Hongyuan(1/2)

Another person whose eyelids were twitching wildly was Chang Yu.

He rubbed it for three days but saw no improvement. Zhusheng persuaded him to go see the doctor, but he didn't take it seriously. He just thought it was because he didn't get enough sleep from stargazing at night, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Since being released from confinement, Changyu has been busy with many things.

Yu Gong, King Jing asked him to divine the bad luck of capturing Donghai City. Recently, another note was sent to him, which said: What is Hongyuan's fortune?

In private, Chen Lu asked him to find someone. He also wanted to see the fate of his lover. In addition, where is Brother Miao now? Is he still okay?

One by one, it is easier said than done. Stargazing is not just about casual measurements. You have to pay attention to the changes in the stars for days or even months, and then analyze them accurately one by one based on the hexagrams. It is not as easy as imagined.

Simple.

After all, official matters come first, and trust from friends must also come first. As for Qin Hairan, how much trouble can a girl bring to her family, and with the smart little Ru Wan'er and considerate Huai Bi accompanying her, there shouldn't be any problem, right?

Because the note was an urgent matter, Chang Yu stayed up all night, studying the stars and predicting the fortune of Hongyuan City. Compared with one thing and one person, a city is relatively easy to predict, because it is right there, motionless.

So by dawn, the initial results had been achieved.

The east is dim and the stars are receding.

Chang Yu collected the gold ten-cent instrument and glanced with disdain at the large ten-cent instrument that had been reworked in the furnace. He got off the purple gold platform and got into the car and returned home to catch up on some sleep. When he arrived at the alley, he saw the sound of bamboo stretching its white and thin neck.

If you look at the door, you will know something is wrong.

Sure enough, Zhu Sheng came up to him in a hurry, pushed Chang Yu into the car who wanted to get out of the car, and said: "The palace wants you to go there quickly." After saying this, he stuffed Chang Yu with a roll of hot white cotton yarn.

Chang Yu brought it to his nose and smelled it. His favorite salted egg yolk rice rolls were wrapped in cotton gauze. Warmth suddenly surged in his heart, causing the coachman to turn the car around. He turned around and smiled at the sound of bamboo: "Make the bed, I'll be back."

Catching up on sleep.”

Looking at the carriage disappearing in the alley, Zhu Sheng sighed softly.

The car soon arrived at the palace. Chang Yu described it a little better and came to see him.

Xiang Bing was waiting at the door just to wait for him. When someone arrived, he didn't waste any time, just picked him up and walked inside.

Looking at this posture, I don’t know how big something has happened. What should I do on my own? Watching the sky and predicting luck is not something that can be rushed!

Prince Jing was sitting in the hall, with Xia Wuming sitting on his left and Shi Lizu sitting on his right.

Chang Yu was shocked: Wasn't Fang Shangong training troops at Juyuan Ferry? Why did he come back? It seems that the matter is really urgent.

Unexpectedly, Prince Jing had a leisurely look on his face and a good complexion. He looked like a completely different person from the brows and brows he had just a few days ago.

"I'm really sorry for bringing the Heavenly Master here so early!"

Chang Yu scratched his head and replied with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, I didn't sleep anyway. I wonder why my lord came to me?"

King Jing first praised a few words such as "diligence in his duties" and "God rewards diligence", and then replied: "Have you seen the note I gave to the Heavenly Master yesterday?"

Thanks to Chang Yu's urgent action, we now have a response. "Back to my lord, I will prepare immediately after receiving the order. Thanks to God, the weather was fine last night, and the results have been roughly measured."

"Very good, what's the result?"

"Hongyuan City is destroyed!"

As soon as the results came out, the three principals and ministers in the hall looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.

Chang Yuhou was waiting below. After the three of them looked at each other tiredly, Shi Lixu asked: "Is there a specific time when the city will be broken?"

Chang Yu replied: "Because the observation time is short, there is no specific time, but it will probably not exceed a month."

"One month! It's imminent!" Shi Lixu fell into thinking.

Xia Wuming asked: "Can the Heavenly Master test the fortunes of the people of Hongyuan, such as officials and officials?"

Chang Yu replied: "The astrology is unclear, appearing or appearing, or there may be variables."

"how do I say this?"

"An old saying goes: Do your best in human affairs and obey the destiny. But when the destiny shines, you can do your best in human affairs and promote the favorable side, or you may be able to avoid disaster and seek good fortune."

The three of them looked at each other again, and King Jing asked the last question: "Based on the results obtained by Tianshi's recent stargazing, is it more advantageous for our army to attack Donghai City or Hongyuan City?"

Oh, it turns out we are going to hit Hongyuan.

Chang Yu said: "Of course we attack Hongyuan City first. The hexagrams predict that Hongyuan City will be destroyed!"

After Chang Yu left, King Jing and the others continued their discussions.

Shi Lixu spoke first: "My lord, please be clear. God has given a warning. It depends on man. Our army should save Hongyuan!"

Prince Jing kept his mouth closed and did not speak, and there was no emotion or anger on his face.

Xia Wuming responded to Shi Lizu: "Don't be anxious, Lord Fang. This matter needs to be discussed in the long term. After all, there are twenty to thirty thousand demon troops surrounding it. We can't get any benefits from fighting with the demon army in the field!"

Shi Lixu said anxiously: "The purpose of saving Hongyuan is not to save Gao Zhizhi's child, but to save the Hongyuan frontier troops and thousands of people. I am willing to lead Hongyuan's heavy cavalry to break into the siege, gather the old troops and break back together."

Xia Wuming said: "This is a bad idea. Hongyuan's heavy cavalry is the most powerful of our army. We can't take risks easily. Even if we rush down to Hongyuan City, but come out again, Hongyuan City's light cavalry and infantry will not have heavy cavalry."

The armor is probably worth the loss!"

Shi Lixu was really anxious. He founded the Hongyuan Frontier Army. He was squeezed out by Gao Zhizhi before and fled with only his personal guards. This does not mean that the Frontier Army has no old feelings for him, nor does it mean that he has feelings for Hongyuan.

He had no regrets, so he rushed back to Jiqing as soon as possible after receiving the letter of help from Prince Su sent by Prince Jing.

"Lord, although Gao Zhizhi is not a thing, the border army is really a strong reinforcement for our side. With them, we are even more powerful. Hongyuan City must save my lord. If we don't save it, Hongyuan City will be destroyed and the border army will be exhausted.

Everything is in vain!"

Prince Jing finally spoke: "Fang Shanggong, please be patient. Hongyuan must be rescued, but it's not like this."

Shi Lixu left the table, clasped his fists and knelt down on one knee: "Please tell me, sir, Shi will go into the fire and into the water!"

Prince Jing was up to his old tricks again: "Does the military advisor have a good plan?"

Xia Wuming secretly laughed, but did not dare to show off. He only stretched out five fingers, and then clenched them into fists. "The five fingers cannot be used, and the fists will hurt. I thought that we should work together to defeat the Red Plains demon army."

Prince Jing narrowed his eyes and asked, "How to join forces?"

Xia Wuming looked at Shi Lizu, then at Prince Jing, raised a fist, and then lowered his fist.

"What is combined is not the power of manpower, but the power of the Xuanwu generals!"

--------

Two days later, King Jing made a rare move in person. He worshiped Fang Shanggong Shi Lixu as the vanguard of Zhengyin. He led 3,000 Hongyuan Iron Armor heavy cavalry, 5,000 Jiqing Xuanjia and 30,000 elite soldiers to march towards Hongyuan City.

Accompanying him were fifty "Xuanwu Generals" covered in red silk and thirty strange vehicles with dragon heads.

The name of this trip was "Conquering the Rebellion", and it was to avenge Gao Zhizhi's sneak attack on Muleocheng City. But anyone with a discerning eye could see at a glance why he and Li Liqing were not taken with Wanqi Liangzhi to take revenge, but instead sent him and Li Liqing far away.

Dealing with bandits on the edge of the swamp.

The Great Swamp is to the east of Tongshan. It is thousands of miles of mud and rarely inhabited. Although there are occasionally fierce bandits and pirates attacking Guhua Port, they are just small troubles. The East China Sea Fleet and the defenders of Guhua Port can completely handle it, so why kill them?

Where did Li Liqing and Wan Qi Liangzhi's newly trained Northern Expeditionary Army be sent to eat mud?

Even Chang Yu couldn't understand it. But someone he hated could see it clearly.

Shao Jinqiu said: "Prince Jing's 'personal expedition' this time is not to attack Hongyuan, but to save Hongyuan!"

Chang Yu laughed loudly: "It's sensational and sensational!"

Zhu Zhu slapped Chang Yu hard: "Why do you always target Mr. Shao? I owe you money or burn your fields. Why are you always so awkward! I'm the first to say ugly things. Mr. Shao is me.

I invited you here, but if you continue to behave like this, I will be a fool for you!"

Shao Jinqiu waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, Miss Zhu, Mr. Chang may have some slight prejudices against me, but they are just small details. You will understand them after a long time."

Chang Yu thought to himself: I understand you, I will give you a good face when you stop harassing my Zhusheng girl!

He asked: "Gao Zhizhi always made things difficult for the prince during the Zhongxuan period, killed the old general Wanqi in Hongyuan, and poisoned tens of thousands of people in Mubiao City. This tone is unbearable, let alone beating.

That’s all, where do you start talking about ‘rescue’?”

Shao Jinqiu did not answer his question and instead threw the ball to Wang Yinran.

Wang Yinran has been serving Prince Jing these days. After all, she is the apprentice of Grandma Hongji, and has considerable experience in acupuncture medicine. As soon as Master Ai disappeared, she seized the opportunity to get close to Prince Jing in this name. Although Prince Jing and his wife had already

Although she wanted to accept her as her concubine, how could she let go of the opportunity to get along day and night.

With her ability, she knew very well whether to attack or save Prince Jing, but she could not reveal it in front of others because of her palace.

"Master Shao is really in a dilemma. Since he is just a prostitute, how can he know about these important military and national affairs."

"Hey, aren't we just having a cup of tea and talking? Feel free to talk without any restraint."

Any normal man would not remain unmoved when seeing Wang Yinran, so Shao Jinqiu was three times more polite to her than he was to Zhu Zhu, the owner of the room. Even though he tried his best to cover it up, there were still traces of it.

Fortunately, Zhu Zhu didn't care about this and said to Wang Yinran: "Yes, yes, we are just chatting. Why don't you tell me your opinion? Anyway, I think Mr. Shao is right."

Wang Yinran smiled shyly: "I agree with Chang Yu's point of view. Think about it, Prince Jing has always marched openly and honestly. Since he said it was an attack, it must be an attack. That's what I thought."

Shao Jinqiu hurriedly said: "No, no, the soldiers are treacherous. King Jing's use of troops has always been surprising. According to the current situation, monsters are the most serious problem in Hebei. I heard that Hongyuan City is surrounded by monsters.

Could it be said that King Jing will attack the city without fighting monsters? Even so, the monsters don’t distinguish between friend and foe, they will eat any living person they see!"

Zhu Zhu responded.

Chang Yu had something on his mind and was anxious to talk to Wang Yinran alone. At the same time, he was really annoyed with Shao Jinqiu. He said, "It's useless for us to say it here. Why not take a gamble and see who is more right!"

Zhu Zhu became interested upon hearing this: "This is an interesting way to play, what kind of gambling method is it?"
