"Actually, there was no abnormality before the prince came."
Wei Yun calmed down and began to recall carefully: "I have been with the army since I was eleven years old. Although I rarely go to the front line, I am also familiar with military affairs. After we arrived at the front line, we had a head-on confrontation with Beidi. After driving Beidi out of the city, we were convenient to enter the confrontation and rarely had any battles. My father was accustomed to being steady. He once said that Beidi came from afar and food was difficult to continue, so we just need to defend the city and not leave."
Chu Yu nodded. She had also learned about the style of the generals of the Great Chu to lead soldiers. Wei Zhong's style was indeed the case. Wei Yun continued: "After only seven days of confrontation, the prince came to the front line and held the imperial edict as the military supervisor. The prince once said that the treasury is empty and it is necessary to fight quickly, but his father did not agree. The two had a dispute in the tent. However, because his father was stubborn and refused to send troops, the prince could not do anything, so he was in peace."
"Why, Yao Yong will come to Baicheng in the future."
"Why did Yao Yong come to Baicheng?" Chu Yu frowned. Yao Yong was the commander of Qingzhou, and there was no pressure to defend Baicheng. Why did Yao Yong appear there?
Wei Yun shook his head: "My grade is not enough to know. But I counted the food and grass and managed the miscellaneous things. I knew that Yao Yong secretly brought 90,000 elite soldiers to secretly. His army did not station in Baicheng, but hid around."
Chu Yu listened and carefully looked at the clues.
In the last life, Wei Yun finally went to see the emperor with Yao Yong's head, which shows that this matter must have a close connection with Yao Yong. Yao Yong secretly brought troops to Baicheng when Wei Zhong was guarding the city, and Wei Zhong obviously knew it - even Wei Yun knew it. In other words, Wei Zhong did not plan to just defend the enemy at that time, and he and Yao Yong must have conspired to arrange something.
Chu Yu raised his hand and signaled Wei Yun to continue.
Wei Yun recalled and thought: "Later, Beidi came to call for battle. That day, the Beidi fought at the city gate, and Beidi was soon defeated. My father led his troops forward. After hearing this, I hurried to stop it. Beidi's courage would never be defeated so quickly. However, my father kept asking me to rest assured and said that the second prince of Beidi was there and wanted to catch him back to celebrate the merits."
"Why did my father-in-law know where the second prince is?"
Chu Yu asked quickly, Wei Yun pursed his lips, obviously not knowing it, but he also realized that something was wrong from Chu Yu's question.
The Northern Di has not yet established a crown prince. The second prince is the hot candidate for the crown prince. He is not a general. When he arrives in the military camp, he should be hidden and unknown like the prince as a military supervisor. Where did Wei Zhong get such hidden news?
However, time was tight, and Chu Yu didn't have time to think about it carefully, just said, "You keep talking."
"My father drove me to count the food and grass, and took several brothers out in two ways, chasing the enemy all the way, and breaking the back. Stay until night..."
Wei Yun's voice was choked and he couldn't say anything for a moment. Chu Yu reached out through the wooden railing and patted his shoulder.
She is not good at comforting people because she has been comforted too many times and she knows how pale and powerless the words are.
You have to walk the road by yourself, and you have to endure the pain by yourself.
She could only use a pat on the shoulder to convey her feelings and comfort.
Wei Yun looked up and smiled, and hurriedly said, "I'm fine, sister-in-law, don't worry. Where did you say it just now? Oh, at night, Yao Yong asked me to inform me, saying that they were ambushed and asked me to go for reinforcements."
As he said that, Wei Yun smiled bitterly: "But all the soldiers in the city have gone out, only five thousand guarding the city are left. What can I reinforce?"
Wei Yun had a sarcasm in his voice: "It's just... it's just... to collect the corpse."
"Where is Yao Yong's troops?"
Chu Yu's voice had a meaning, and Wei Yun said calmly: "He said he was chasing another army. When he returned, his father and brother were already ambushed."
"He also said that he and the prince had told his father many times that we should not pursue the remaining soldiers rashly. It was enough to pursue Yao Yong. The responsibility for this is all due to the father's disobedience."
Wei Yun said, slowly clenching his fists: "I know there is something wrong with this in my heart, so I went to Baidi Valley again. Do you know what I saw on the surrounding mountains? The mountains of Baidi Valley are full of soldiers and horses."
Chu Yu suddenly looked up: "What do you mean?"
"Sister-in-law, you can see that the army recruits troops to buy horses and choose nearby, so the types of war horses in different places are mostly different. For example, the Wei family army mostly comes from the north, so horses are mostly produced in Heling. The horses are tall and run fast, but their endurance is not good. Yao Yong is supplied by Qingzhou, and the horses in Qingzhou are mostly horses. The hoof prints are a whole circle smaller than the Heling horses, which are even different from the Beiguan horses used by Beidi."
"So, you mean the circle of footprints on the edge of Baidi Valley were left by Yao Yong's Qingzhou Army."
Wei Yun nodded, his eyes full of coldness: "I don't know where this circle of footprints came from. I don't know whether he went to pursue other Beidi troops and turned back to the Baidi Valley, or where it was from the beginning.... But I know one thing, there must be something strange about this matter. If the Wei family's crime is not investigated thoroughly, I will not admit it."
Chu Yu didn't say anything, she thought, and then Wanyue's voice came from outside: "Mrs. Young lady, the time is up, please come out."
"How many people are Yao Yong lost in this battle?"
Chu Yu asked the last question, and footsteps came from outside. Wei Yun immediately said: "I can't see ten thousand, but he reported 30,000."
Chu Yu nodded, stood up, and said, "Let's wait for my news."
After saying that, she turned around and said to the same jailer before the jailer came in to drive him away: "Sir, don't urge me, I will leave now."
"sister in law!"
Wei Yun spoke quickly, Chu Yu turned around and saw the young man holding the wooden railing with both hands, his eyes falling on her, and his clear eyes were full of worry.
Chu Yu looked at him quietly, and Wei Yun seemed to have countless words to say, but when the woman's eyes calmly fell on him, she couldn't say anything.
In the end, he just said, "Sister-in-law, this is the business of our Wei family men. You... need to learn to take care of yourself."
He said this dryly.
He was afraid when he said that.
After all, he was only fourteen years old. When facing the sudden storm, he was also frightened and uneasy. When he thought of facing everything, when he thought of the only woman who gave him peace and calmness in the whole incident, he also felt scared.
But he is a man after all.
When touching the woman's eyes that were like autumn water, Wei Yun told herself.
——He is the only backbone of the Wei family. The so-called backbone means to support this sky and protect the people under this roof.
Even though he has great revenge, even if he has grievances and has not yet been fulfilled, even if he has ambition and good years, all this should be fought against by himself. And the women of his guardian family should be under the eaves he supports, without getting caught in the wind and rain, and without being worried. Just ask which one is good every day, and which new makeup of a noble girl is popular in Huajing, as when his father and brother were.
He looked at Chu Yu firmly, but after hearing this, Chu Yu curled the corners of his mouth, with a little pride in his eyes.
"These words--to be told to me when you grow up."
As she said that, she chuckled: "You are still a child now, don't be afraid, my sister-in-law will protect you."
