Chapter 1226 Distress

Zhou Ye originally escaped this time. He didn't want to go back and be ostracized by others, let alone the woman he liked and be wronged with him.

What's more, the person he wants to marry is a female general from Qi State. This is simply a gap between the two.

Seeing Zhou Ye's hesitation, Qin Wanzhi thought that Zhou Ye was unwilling, so she immediately changed her expression and said with a cold face, "Since the young master is unwilling to propose marriage, then let's let this matter go. It just so happens that we are also training to suppress bandits." It’s almost time, I need to return to Langya to resume my life.”

When Zhou Ye heard that Qin Wanzhi was angry, he became a little anxious. He happened to hear Qin Wanzhi talking about Langya. His eyes lit up and he had an idea in his mind.

So, he quickly explained, "Wanzhi, don't get me wrong. I have a sworn brother who is still in Langya. I'm wondering if I can let him go to your house to propose marriage, but I'm embarrassed to say it."

After hearing this, Qin Wanzhi thought that Zhou Ye had no other relatives, so she immediately softened her heart and her voice became much softer.

She couldn't help but said comfortingly, "Since he is your sworn brother and the eldest brother, and the eldest brother is like a father, it is okay for him to help you propose marriage."

After hearing this, Zhou Ye nodded quickly and got into Langya with Qin Wanzhi.

After arriving at Langya City, Qin Wanzhi and Zhou Ye agreed on a meeting place and took the female soldier back to the camp. She needed to hand over the military talisman before she could move around freely.

Zhou Ye looked at Qin Wan and left. He was still a little confused and didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong.

Just when he was hesitating, he suddenly heard someone say, "Second brother? Why are you here? Are you here to see eldest brother too?"

Zhou Ye looked back and saw that it was Gu Jiusi. He quickly asked, "Aren't you in Youzhou? Why are you here suddenly?"

Gu Jiusi couldn't help but sigh, and then said depressedly, "Didn't I let the family members of the Youzhou Army go back to Zhongzhou? I was afraid that my eldest brother would be angry with me, so I hurriedly came to explain."

When Zhou Ye heard this, he remembered that some time ago, before he pursued the money, he had indeed received an order from his father and wrote a letter to Gu Jiusi, instructing him to release the Youzhou family members to join them in Zhongzhou.

At that time, he thought that there might be some price to pay, but now from the tone of Gu Jiusi's words, it might be that there was no price at all and he was released in vain.

Zhou Ye glanced at Gu Jiusi and felt a little confused. He was still in Luoyang when he wrote the letter. Later, after he started working on the case, he stopped paying attention to this matter. But when the Youzhou family members went to Zhongdu, how could he Don't know anything?

Just as he was thinking, Gu Jiusi asked again with some confusion, "Second brother, why are you here?"

Zhou Ye saw that Gu Jiusi didn't know about his affairs in Dongdu, so he asked with some confusion, "You don't know about my investigation of the former treasury?"

Gu Jiusi shook his head and said doubtfully, "I don't know."

Zhou Ye looked at what Zhou Ye said and asked curiously, "What have you been doing recently? Why do you seem to be deaf to what's going on outside the window?"

When Gu Jiusi saw what Zhou Ye said, he said depressedly, "You don't know, eldest brother has reformed all the places controlled by Qi State, but I, Youzhou, have not been touched. I know he is giving me face, but I don’t want to just be a little prince, and I’m not that material. I just want to see how big brother’s reforms are going. If there’s really no problem, I’ll ask big brother to send someone there. Just some time ago, I was in Bohai I received your letter when I was inspecting all parts of the county, and then I hurried back to arrange it, and then went to several places in Jizhou."

Zhou Ye saw what Gu Jiu said and asked curiously, "How is Bohai County doing now? I remember that the disaster there was quite severe, and many people fled to Youzhou."

When Gu Jiusi heard Zhou Ye talk about this, he excitedly told Zhou Ye about the changes in Bohai County, and then said excitedly, "The cement invented by my eldest brother can easily build the river embankment very solidly. Now the people We are no longer afraid of floods, we have been allocated fields again, and everyone is shouting "big brother Yao, Shun, and Yu Tang."

Zhou Ye's original dream was to let everyone in the world live a good life, but he also knew that it would be difficult. After all, the power of the aristocratic families was too great, and the common people paid a lot of taxes, and they could not bear any natural disaster. live.

Now after listening to Gu Jiusi's words, he suddenly felt as if the people in Qi State had already lived the life he expected.

Because there are no aristocratic families occupying most of the land, Qi State has a large amount of farmland, so the taxes that were originally required to be paid, when distributed to everyone, were more than half of what they were originally.

The people have a lot of surplus food in their hands. They don’t have to worry about natural disasters and they will go hungry immediately. Of course, they will laugh from the bottom of their hearts.

He suddenly felt that even if his Uncle Fan gained the world, it would still be the world of aristocratic families, and there would be no way for the common people to live a good life. This was in line with what Wang Yue said in his poem, the prosperity of the people is suffering, and the destruction of the people is suffering. .

He suddenly didn't want to go back to Zhongdu. He felt that by hanging out with his elder brother and letting the people live a good life, he might really be famous throughout the ages.

It just so happened that he wanted to ask Wang Yue for help in going to his in-laws' home to propose marriage, so he could just stay busy for the people in Qi State.

In fact, both of them were a little afraid to see Wang Yue, but when they were together, they couldn't be timid in front of each other, so they slowly went to the palace.

When Wang Yue saw the two people, he was very surprised. He asked his servants to prepare the food and wine, and then asked how the two people came here.

Gu Jiusi was more outspoken. After being questioned by Wang Yue, he didn't hide anything. He told me directly that Wang Yue let go of all the family members of the Youzhou Army, and they returned to Dongdu from Bingzhou.

After he finished speaking, he said with some embarrassment, "Brother, I'm really sorry. I don't think it's good for the two armies to take their families as hostages when the two armies are fighting, and it's not good for your reputation."

Wang Yue wanted to say thank you to Gu Jiusi, and also wanted to say that he could still use hostages. After all, Liu Bang had done this before, and he didn't get any reputation. But he still didn't say it, it would hurt his feelings to say it.

But at this point, it was useless for him to say anything, so he could only say depressedly, "Okay, what a big deal, our Qi country is the most powerful now, just because there are too many aristocratic families in Jingzhou and Yizhou in Guanzhong, and I Bian'er is not ready yet, what you said is insignificant."

When Gu Jiusi heard what Wang Yue said, he immediately understood what was going on. He asked in disbelief, "Is it because you don't carry out reforms in Youzhou because you don't have time yet?"

Zhou Ye quickly bowed and saluted, and then said very excitedly, "Thank you, brother. You must have waited for the Youzhou Army to take over the family members before carrying out reforms. If you had carried out the reforms earlier, Youzhou The state army’s morale was in chaos.”

Wang Yue saw that these two younger brothers admired him so much. He wanted to say that he didn't think so, and he really hadn't had time to take action yet.

As for why Youzhou is so slow, it's because the Youzhou army has taken away a large number of young people. Even after it annexed the place, there was no way to recruit people and there was no way for the local young people to resist the local people. The aristocratic family had no choice but to send soldiers and horses from other parts of Qi State. Such people who were unfamiliar with the place could easily cause trouble.

He didn't say this now, so he could only say bravely, "We are sworn brothers no matter what. As the eldest brother, I can't make things difficult for you two younger brothers. But then again, the third brother is That’s why I came here, second brother, you can’t survive in Dongdu and want to take refuge with your elder brother.”

Gu Jiusi was a little surprised when he heard this. He asked in confusion, "Brother, what are you talking about? The second brother's father is a general in Daxia. How can he not survive in Dongdu?"

Zhou Ye smiled bitterly, and then said a little lonely, "Third brother, you don't know, Daxia has no money, so I can only helplessly recover the treasury silver from the previous dynasty. I suddenly offended the entire dynasty of the previous dynasty." Civil and Military Affairs, after His Majesty got the money, in order to appease the Queen Mother and the Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, he had no choice but to banish me, and I have been locked up in Hulao for a while."

After hearing this, Gu Jiusi said speechlessly, "Second brother, you can't be so stupid, right? Pursuing that thing will offend the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty. How can you do this job?"

Wang Yue saw Zhou Ye's wry smile and said with a smile, "Of course the emperor asked his second brother to do this, and he had nothing to do. But this is good, and it is an explanation to the Emperor of Daxia. He will do it." I am not sorry for the emperor here, from now on we three brothers will work together."

Zhou Ye cupped his hands and said with embarrassment, "Brother, actually I have one more thing to ask you for help with when I come to Qingzhou."

Wang Yue was a little surprised. He didn't know what Zhou Ye was looking for, so he asked curiously, "Second brother, what are you looking for me for?"

Zhou Ye blushed, then gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, I want you to propose marriage for me."

After hearing Zhou Ye's words, Gu Jiusi's eyes widened and asked curiously, "Second brother, whose girl do you like?"

Wang Yue was also very curious and asked excitedly, "Second brother, please tell me quickly, which girl do you like? I will ask your sister-in-law to propose marriage immediately."

Seeing what Wang Yue said, Zhou Ye said excitedly, "Brother, I fell in love at first sight with Miss Qin, the fourth female guard of Langya."

After Wang Yue heard this, he asked curiously, "Second brother, how did you meet Miss Qin? She is the daughter of General Qin from Bingzhou."

Gu Jiusi was also very curious and asked Zhou Ye excitedly. He didn't understand how Zhou Ye met Miss Qin.

Seeing both of them asking this question, Zhou Ye knew that it would be impossible not to give an answer, so he quickly told the story of how he and Qin Wan met later.

Of course, Wang Yue could not refuse Zhou Ye's request. He told Liu Yuru that night and asked Liu Yuru to go to Dingzhou to propose marriage.

But he couldn't let Liu Yuru go alone, so he not only sent two of the four female guards, but also asked Ji Liuyun and Liu Shishi to lead the troops of the two guards.

Even so, Wang Yue felt relieved and personally led an army of 100,000 troops to station at the junction of Yanzhou and Zhongzhou in Bingzhou to prevent Daxia from going to Bingzhou, and at the same time threaten Bingzhou to ensure Liu Yuru's safety.

Wang Yue's arrangement was originally foolproof, but he missed one thing, that is, Fan Xuan did not dare to do this, but someone dared to do it, and Liu Yuru was still in danger.

According to the agreed time, he led his troops to wait for Liu Yuru at the border of Bingzhou, but what he didn't expect was that it was not Liu Yuru who was waiting for him, but Liu Shishi.

Liu Shishi was now covered in blood. There were only three people with her, and these three people were also covered in blood.

Seeing this scene, Wang San, who was waiting outside, knew something was wrong, and he quickly brought people in.

When Wang Yue saw the appearance of the four people, he had some bad premonitions in his heart. He asked with some confusion, "General Liu, what happened?"

When Liu Shishi saw Wang Yue, she hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then said excitedly, "Your Majesty, we found an attack by men and horses on the way back. General Ji led most of our troops to escort the princess to Tongling County. I I led a small group of people to ask for help, but we have been chased all the way here, so please go to the rescue quickly."

Wang Yue quickly thought about the location of Tongling in his mind. Even if he rode hard, it was only one day's journey away.

He was very worried, so he immediately stood up and said, "Wang San, I will lead 20,000 cavalry to rescue quickly. You lead the remaining troops and horses to come as soon as possible. Also, tell General Wang Chang and ask him to lock him up in Hulao." I'll take it, and when I come back we'll march into the Eastern Capital."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Wang San's answer, he got on his BMW, quickly came to the cavalry camp, led all the cavalry and left the camp.

…

Because Wang Yue was anxious about the situation on the front line, and because he had the time-traveling ability, he didn't worry about ambushes along the way. He worked hard all the way without hesitation, and it took only half a day to reach Tongling, which was originally a one-day journey. Inside.

Still far away from the county seat, he could hear shouts of killing. Wang Yue breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Liu Yuru was still safe.

In fact, it is indeed safe, but it is almost unsafe, because there are more than 8,000 female soldiers in the two battalions. Facing the 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and horses outside, it is really powerless to guard such a large Tongling County.

If Ji Liuyun hadn't been a bandit, she would have demolished the houses close to the city wall and only managed to survive until now.

Even so, the eight thousand female soldiers have reached their limit. After all, they are all women, and their physical strength is really not as good as that of men.

Wang Yue could roughly guess what was going on here. He thought for a moment and felt that it would be useless to rush over with 20,000 cavalry. The cavalry could rely on their will to persevere, but there was nothing Ma could do. It was simply not enough to sustain the battle. .

After thinking for a while, he sent 10,000 cavalry to the rescue, and let the remaining 10,000 soldiers and horses rest in place for an hour, and then attacked the enemy's main stronghold. After making arrangements, he personally led 10,000 soldiers and horses toward the enemy. Yingzhai killed him.

Wang Yue's 10,000 soldiers and horses appeared within the field of vision, and sure enough they attracted the attention of the soldiers and horses besieging the city.

Their troops originally numbered between 20,000 and 30,000, but after a day and night of fighting, thousands of them had died. The remaining troops were simply not enough to surround the city and deal with Wang Yue's 10,000 troops separately, let alone the cavalry.

The enemy general was also a smart man. When he saw Wang Yue's arrival of 10,000 reinforcements, he immediately gathered his troops and horses in one place, not giving Wang Yue a chance to divide his troops and attack.

Wang Yue was originally prepared for a bloody battle. Seeing that the opponent took the initiative to give way to the city wall, he entered the city without hesitation with 10,000 troops.
