Chapter 248 Dongou Army returns to aid
The next day, as the sky cleared, Wang Hui could no longer stay in the prefect's house. After hurrying to eat breakfast, he was busy saying goodbye to Guan Fu.
At this time, Guan Fu had just finished practicing a sword and was washing up in his room. When he saw Wang Hui coming to say goodbye, he hurriedly took ten jars of Kuaiji old wine and handed all the ten jars of old wine to Wang Hui's entourage.
After the two bid farewell, Wang Hui was about to board the car, but he saw the prefect Yan Zhu coming to see him off.
Wang Hui was very moved and stepped forward to thank him and said, "I am very grateful for this meeting when I am purely communicating with each other, but I am treated so kindly by the prefect."
"Haha, Lord Wang is so polite. The changes in the war situation between Dongou, Ou, Min and Yue rely on your military use to clean up the endgame. Yan Zhu is just a pity for the heroes!" Yan Zhu laughed.
Guan Fu always feels too empty when he can't see the scene of thanking each other. Even if he is sincere, he is a bit boring.
He pulled the two of them impatiently and said, "You two sit down first, have a few drinks with me. After drinking, you can do it well, Lord Wang, you can be brave enough. Lord Yan can relax, why not do it?"
Looking at each other, Yan Zhu and Wang Hui both laughed, and they were helpless about Guan Fu's straightforward nature.
Soon, Guan Fu walked out of the house with a jar of wine, smiling.
As soon as I opened the seal on the jar, the rich aroma of wine came out and I took several intoxication to suck it, and I smiled with satisfaction.
He filled several cups with wine, raised the glass but frowned and said, "This Laoshi wine glass is too small, it's really not enough to enjoy it!"
"Oh, Husband Guan, don't think about getting a bowl. Just drink like this. It's okay. Lord Wang can't drink too much. It's very painful to have a road trip if you drink too much." Yan Zhu said with a wry smile.
"Yes, I still have to hurry on my way, just drink like this, come on, cheers!" Wang Hui raised his cup and said.
"Forget it, cheers!"
After a few glasses of wine, Wang Hui's face became much rosy. He waved his hand and refused to drink it anymore.
...
Several days have passed,
The capital of Dongou Kingdom, Xuyan, was already full of holes under the impact of the Fujian-Yue army, and the defenders on the city were also sharply reduced to more than 5,000, and they were struggling to resist the devour of the siege beasts under the city.
The huge rocks and rolling wood have been used up, leaving only piles of sand, and Quan Qi has been regarded as a weapon to kill the enemy.
The lost people on both sides, those lives, became dull and collapsed on the ground, appearing insignificant. Even if the blood is red and the soldiers' souls are unwilling to accept it, they will never be able to escape the ending of being buried in a hurry.
You can still have a little dignity while living, but you will have nothing left after death...
Xuyan Royal City can no longer bear much. If this continues, when the ammunition and food are exhausted, it will be the end of the capital of Dongou, and there is no possibility of counterattack.
Zuo Zhi was too cunning and thought clearly about when to attack the city. If it weren't for the cold weather and the city walls became stronger due to watering and freezing, and the soldiers' movements seemed a little clumsy, the situation would be even more critical now.
In fact, many times, the people guarding the city can be expanded, but why does Dongou General Ou Hui not use the people?
The reason is very simple. People who have not been trained and recklessly will only cause trouble. Not only will they not play a role, but they will also be more frustrated because of panic and fear of death. Therefore, he would rather be unable to do so than use the people to defend the city.
Or the border troops will not be able to pull back, because unless there are too many troops guarding the frontier, they will be rebelled at home and abroad. At this time, they will lose their wife and soldiers.
The fate of Xuyan Royal City has been destined recently. It can only be affected by the people of Minyue and wait for things to turn.
On the other hand, Dong'ou general Ou Hui would not be left alone. He had sent someone to send a letter of help, one to Chang'an for flaws, and the other was to ask the Dong'ou army in Minyue to return to the rescue, first resolve the crisis of the capital, and then think about other counterattack issues.
The importance of the capital to the country,
It was extremely large, so he had to let the troops retreat first.
When the letter of help was sent to the Dongou military camp confronting the King of Minyue Zuo Ying, it was already a few days later. The commander of the army had no choice but to issue an order to return to the capital of the country.
He was in a hurry to rush into the country of Fujian and Yue, but he was simply afraid that the chaos would be restored and it would be even more difficult to deal with.
Because the King Zuo Ying of Minyue and his younger brother Zuo Yushan are a camp problem and a matter of differences, they cannot be reconciled at all. They cannot be beheaded and captured. Once they break up, they must fight to the death with the forces behind them.
So at this time, the army could get a bargain at any time in Minyue, not seeking to destroy Minyue, but only seeking to defeat them and give Dongou a period of growth. But now it seems that this is a luxury, and he can only hope that there will be changes in the future...
...
On the way back to wait for the troops to move, during the period when Dong'ou Royal City was in danger, Liu Che and his party had already arrived at Yongcheng in a mighty manner.
It’s not that Liu Che doesn’t care about the affairs of Minyue, but that it’s useless to care. Just listen to the news. Once you act rashly, it will be the opposite.
In the past few days, Liu Che has continued to hold a series of grand sacrificial ceremonies as planned, fully expressing his respect for the Five Emperors.
However, Dongfang Shuo, who was accompanying him, knew better than anyone else that behind these grand ceremonies was Liu Che's determination to pursue the so-called "Holy Zhou" and the belief of the benevolent king that was shown to the world.
Sure enough, Liu Che started his substantial itinerary in just one morning.
The "luobo" that was visited this time is a sacrificial temple, so the order of the car drivers is arranged according to the scale of the "small drivers". Although the scale cannot be compared with the eighty-one cars of the "big drivers" and the thirty-six cars of the "legitimate drivers", it is also a policeman with dazzling flags.
For convenience, the car stopped beside the Yinfeng Pond in the southeast of Yongcheng, and the policemen arranged tight and secure sentries around the pond according to Wei Qing's arrangement.
The Yellow Gate and the Palace Maids were also arranged in sequence around the carriage.
Our Liu Che got off the car first, and he was full of energy. He looked back and stared at the car behind him. He saw Wei Zifu slowly getting off the car by Shen Meng, and Queen Gillian and Xiaoyan were accompanying him.
The flowers, plants and trees by the Yinfeng Pool are lazily lying in the sun. On the winter day, the yellow leaves that have not been taken away by the northwest wind makes a sound, and they are surrounded by the thick sycamore trees, standing tall under the blue sky.
In fact, Liu Che had a long-standing wish in his heart, which was to feel the aura of Confucius's words "I am so depressed and literary, I follow Zhou". Xiqi is the birthplace of the Zhou rituals, so he naturally had to take a good look.
