Chapter 16 first quarter
The banditry of the "Three Realms Army" was in full swing, and news of the emergency of the officials and troops in the Kansai area was sent to the rulers of the capital one after another.
Within one year and nine months after Luchang City was defeated, another seventeen lands were captured by bandit troops one after another.Among them, the fall of Tongcheng is the most critical.
Tongcheng guards the dangerous pass in the eastern mountainous area of Qinzhou. It is an important town that locked the bandit army within Qinzhou. The officers and soldiers deployed heavy troops here. Coupled with the dangerous terrain, they thought it was as hard as an iron bucket.
In this battle, a fierce general of the "Three Realms Army" was born.The name of this thief is unknown, but according to intelligence, he is the biological son of the bandit leader "King Jing", and he is titled "King Xiaoxuan". His other background is as mysterious as his father's.
Just as the "Flying General" Mao Renjie was leading 50,000 bandit troops to attack Tongcheng head-on, the "Xiaoxuan King" took 2,000 strong men and spent seven days crossing Jiaoling, which is difficult for birds to cross, and went around to Tongcheng. Behind, Lightning broke through the weakly defended east gate.The guard Zhou Chonghui, who was going out to fight Mao Renjie, suddenly saw the emergency in the city and was eager to return to the army for rescue, causing chaos in the battle.Taking advantage of the opponent's mistake, Mao Renjie pursued with all his strength, and Tongcheng changed hands in just one afternoon.
The bandit army gained control of the main road to the east and rushed out of Qinzhou, which was the biggest nightmare of the imperial court.It's all because in the Yizhou area to the east, there were originally a dozen bandits who were born as horse thieves, looting and burning everywhere.
Sure enough, as soon as the "Three Realms Army" rushed out of Qinzhou, these bandits immediately swarmed like ants, and the "Three Realms Army" also opened their doors widely in order to speed up their growth.The new additions to the bandit army are all cavalry accustomed to combat, making the lineup of the "Three Realms Army" more complete.
Riding on this vigor, the "Three Realms Army" took half of Yizhou into their hands.The number of peasants who joined the army continued to increase, and the total number of soldiers exceeded 100,000.The imperial court did not dare to be negligent, and the kings of the Southern Domain hurriedly dispatched 30,000 soldiers from their hometowns to join the defense in the southeast of Yizhou, and only then did they stop the expansion of the bandit army.The two sides have been in a two-year standoff in central Illinois without any major battles.
The banditry also caused heavy losses to the "Dashutang".The seven branch halls and sixteen freight stations located in Qinzhou and the west of Yizhou were all to be evacuated, and the three rock salt mines were also controlled by the "Three Realms". The salt transportation on the Northwest Road was completely paralyzed.Two branch halls were unable to evacuate in time, and all the shopkeepers and brothers and disciples of the branch halls were captured by the occupying "Three Realms Army", and more than 400 people were brutally executed.
In order to make up for this loss, and to support the imperial court's military expenditure, Yu Runsheng ordered to raise the price of salt goods in other regions.Of course, this aroused dissatisfaction among the people, and even farmers in several places wanted to imitate the uprising of the "Three Realms Army".However, due to the lack of charismatic and centripetal leaders like the "Jing King" among these rioters, the momentum is very weak, and even the officers and soldiers do not need to be dispatched, and the local underworld force of the "Dashutang" alone can suppress them. up.Only the civil unrest in Luo County was relatively serious, and Di Liuye from the capital had to lead 3,000 "personal soldiers" to sit in the local branch church to calm it down.
In the past two years, both the imperial court and the "Three Realms Army" have been accumulating troops and planning closely.Everyone smells: a decisive battle is coming...
In a room with only a little candlelight, the naked Yu Rou hugged her brother, who had no blood relationship with her, her face was flushed with passion after passion, but her eyes were wide open without any sleepiness.She didn't want to fall into a dream and let the night slip away without a sound. Yu Chengye closed his eyes, but just pretended to fall asleep.He didn't know what to say to her.Do you want her to wait for me?But we both know that there is no future at all... Do you want to tell her that we will never see each other again?But he didn't hope that when he said goodbye tomorrow morning, the last thing he saw was a crying Rou'er... --why? ...Isn't it just her body that I like?What does it matter to me that she is sad? ... This was Yu Chengye's last night when he left the capital.Tomorrow he will set off to Zhenyang City, Ruizhou to take up the post of "Horse Suitator".Although it was not the front line, he was still full of anxiety. He knew that with his father's strength, it would be easy for him to stay in the "Shenwu Camp" in the capital, or even resign from the military altogether.After all, he is the only son of the hall master of the "Big Tree Hall", and the future heir is self-evident. If there is any mistake and he is in danger in a war, it would be too ridiculous. "Agou, don't worry." After Yu Chengye received the letter of appointment, his father said to him. "I won't let you die for no reason in a war fought for someone else." At that time, Yu Chengye understood: it was all arranged by his father.War is a rare opportunity, and Yu Runsheng has gained a lot from it every time in the past.This time is no exception.Father must have hoped to take advantage of the rapid changes within the army during the war to expand the "Dashutang"'s connections in the army.Yu Chengye is the executor of this task. It's not that Yu Chengye has no confidence in his father's judgment, but he is in the army after all. Bandits from the "Three Realms Army" are alive and well on the other side.This is not a game. ——Don’t really ask me to go to war... Yu Chengye opened his eyes and didn't pretend to be asleep anymore.He wanted to see the impossibly beautiful woman in his arms again. Yu Rou's complexion is much paler than before, but it makes the man have an urge to care and pity her.Since she moved out of Prince Ji's Mansion, she rarely left this room. She hardly thought of her husband who died of illness.Prince Ji was not a bad man, but she got that sudden illness within a year of marriage, she had no chance to get to know this first man in her life well. The political relationship between Prince Ji's Mansion and "Dashutang" died silently with the prince's illness and death.Yu Rou, who was regarded as an ominous person, lost all value, and both parties seemed to want to forget her existence as much as possible.If it was a widow from an ordinary family, there would still be a chance to start life again, but the widow from the prince's family could only guard her until the day she died of old age.She was kicked out of the palace, and lived in the cold mansion of Shuimingfang with two maidservants. What was waiting in front of Yurou was only a long darkness.From the age of nineteen. At this moment of despair, besides the adoptive mother Li Lan, the only person who cares about her is this unexpected person.Yu Chengye brought gifts to visit her almost every other day for a year.None of them are expensive things, but small ornaments or interesting gadgets bought from the market, but they all show that they have been carefully selected.When she was abandoned by the world, there was such a man who valued her so much, although he was not an outstanding man.The wall originally built in front of her heart collapsed like a pile of sand meeting a wave. Yu Rou found that Yu Chengye had opened his eyes and reached out to touch his face. "There is one thing I never asked you..." He grabbed her soft palm. "Ask." He agreed without hesitation.Yu Chengye always looks extra confident in front of Rou'er.He felt more like a man with her by his side. "We... have grown up together for so many years... why do you seldom talk to me? You seldom even look at me..." Yu Rou said without any shyness.A girl who has known she is beautiful since she was twelve years old has no need to be shy. Yu Chengye was stunned.Of course he knew why, but he didn't know whether to tell her or not. The former Yu Agou was just another boy, how could he turn a blind eye to such an outstandingly beautiful girl beside him?It's just that he knew very early on: his father wouldn't like it.That's purely intuitive. Later, as he got older, he knew more things, which also proved that his intuition was completely correct: Rou'er, a beautiful woman, was destined to belong to the property of "Dashutang"; and he himself must marry a wealthy businessman or high-ranking official in the future daughter as wife.He has completely cut off his fantasies about Rou'er, and deliberately distanced himself from her, not letting his father see even the slightest trace of his love for her.At the wedding in Prince Ji's Mansion, he was even happier than anyone else. Not doing anything that might anger his father is his way of life.He did not forget: his surname is not really Yu.Before actually sitting in the position of hall master, everything in life may disappear in an instant... "Actually, it's nothing..." Yu Chengye decided to lie. "Maybe I didn't realize before that girls are so important..." He hugged Yu Rou tighter. "...until you enter the palace..." Yu Rou buried her face in his chest with a smile, obviously satisfied with the answer. Yu Chengye's chest was thin and not very broad, but at least it was warm.Her face pressed against it. This warmth was about to leave her.She was determined not to show a sad expression that night, and she hoped that he could go out without any worries. However, when pressing against Yu Chengye's chest, Yu Rou couldn't help thinking of another brother with a broad chest. —Where is he now? ... After knowing what a man is, she can't help but blush every time she thinks of that brother's majestic appearance. She stroked the copper bird bracelet on her hand. ——If...he is still here...if he is the one who often visits me... Under the battle of flaming lust and guilt of betrayal, Yu Rou closed her eyes and stretched out her hand to caress Yu Chengye's body. Feeling this stimulation, Yu Chengye couldn't help moaning in satisfaction.She teased him a lot, moaning like a little girl sometimes. She took off the bracelet, then took his left hand and put it on. "I give you this amulet. Don't take it off." She drew his palm to her own shapely breast. Yu Chengye got up and hugged her waist violently.Two hot nudes flipped over. He pressed against her body again.
