The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 1637

[Chapter 1637 Reversal of Fate (2)]

On the second day Yun Qing arrived in Tongcheng, he went to inspect the city wall. Last time, because Yuxi was ill, he hurried back to the capital, but was unable to visit Tongcheng.

The city wall of Tongcheng was strengthened and widened by Qiu Dashan. Now the city wall is only 16 meters high, 20 meters wide at the base and 16 meters wide at the top.

The city walls are built with stones and glued with glutinous rice juice, which is very strong.

It was against this city wall that the Donghu people were repelled again and again.

Si Bonian stood on the city wall, carefully observed the surroundings and said, “This city wall is much taller and wider than Yucheng’s.” Yucheng’s city walls are all made of bricks. No, it also uses glutinous rice juice to bind.

Yun Qing snorted and explained: “The Donghu people are about the same as the Beiluo people, but their population is much larger.” Every soldier who guards the frontier is worthy of respect.

After speaking, Yun Qing looked in the direction of the Donghu people’s Wang Ting and said, “This battle is not easy to fight, but if we let them go back with a big defeat this time, there will be no major battles in five years.” Fortunately, they had a favorable position. Otherwise, even if they had a million soldiers, Yun Qing would not be able to win this battle. Fighting right away has always been their shortcoming.

Si Bo said in a young voice, “If the Donghu people can be wiped out, that would be great.” Last year, Tongcheng lost nearly 300,000 horses, and there will definitely be a lot of casualties in this battle in the near future. Hundreds of thousands of lives can only be exchanged for five years of peace, and it’s hard to think about it.

“Let’s leave this to Qihao!” The population of the Donghu people was several times that of the Beiluo people. Even if they lost hundreds of thousands of horses, they still had a strong fighting power. Moreover, their old nest was deep in the grassland, and the imperial court sent troops to attack in all likelihood there was no return. Furthermore, the imperial treasury is now empty, and the world’s population is withered. Now the most important thing is to recuperate. Therefore, it is impossible for them to take the initiative to provoke a large-scale war. Therefore, it is impossible to destroy the Donghu people within 20 years.

The wind outside the fortress was particularly strong, and it blew over and lifted the cloak on his body.

Yun Qing pulled on his cloak and walked along the city wall. Seeing soldiers, Yun Qing occasionally stopped to chat with them and ask them some questions. Of course, if he doesn’t understand Liaodong dialect, he relies on translation.

Zao Zao looked for Yun Qing for a long time before he found it.

When he saw the person, Yun Qing was standing on the viewing platform.

Zaozao walked to Yunqing and asked, “Dad, why didn’t you call me when you came to Xuncheng?” She originally wanted to find Yunqing to have breakfast with him, but she didn’t see anyone.

Seeing that Yun Qing only looked into the distance and ignored her, Zao Zao was a little puzzled. However, he didn’t say anything when he saw Si Bonian shaking his head at him, and then followed Yun Qing silently.

After walking on the city wall for a long time, lunch was served with the guards on the city wall.

Today’s food is wow, potatoes and a small plate of pickles, plus a bowl of egg drop soup. Wowo and potatoes are full, but there is only one bowl of egg drop soup. After drinking, there is no more.

Zaozao took a sip of the delicious egg drop soup, and then said with a smile: “Dad, this egg drop soup is not available on weekdays. It’s because the kitchen saw that you specially added it on the city wall.”

With 500,000 soldiers and horses, the daily consumption of food and forage is staggering. Like meat, these eggs are not cheap, and they can only be eaten during the festivals. There are so many people that it is unrealistic to think about one egg per person, so they all drink egg drop soup.

“Don’t eat or sleep, have you forgotten everything your mother taught?” In fact, even Yun Qing himself couldn’t do it. But Yun Qing was in a bad mood today, and he didn’t want to hear Zaozao chattering.

Zao Zao felt that Yun Qing was weird today, and didn’t dare to provoke her, so he immediately lowered his head and nibbled at Wo Wo. Cough, I really miss the white-flavoured steamed buns and mutton dumplings made by Bai’s mother!

It wasn’t until evening that Yun Qing got off the city wall.

Seeing his sullen face, even Zaozao didn’t dare to say much, and even more so for the others.

Back at the place where he lived, Zaozao told Si Bonian: “Tell the kitchen, you must have braised pork for dinner!” Braised pork is her favorite. Although not as delicious as Mama Bai and Deyuelou, they can also satisfy their cravings.

Because the frontier city is hard, the jujubes are eaten by the soldiers, which means that she and the soldiers share weal and woe.

Spawn smiled and agreed.

Yun Qing asked, “How did you learn the Yan family’s marksmanship?” Mr. Yun particularly admired Marshal Yan, and praised the Yan family’s marksmanship like a flower. He himself is not interested or has the energy to learn, but if Zazao learns it is not bad.

If you don’t want to talk with a straight face anymore, that’s fine. Zaozao said: “I only learned a little bit of fur.” That marksmanship is so exquisite that she has to work hard to learn it.

“When I see Yan Wushuang tomorrow, let him come to me at noon.” Yan Wushuang has contributed to his family’s unique skills, and he has to express something. Otherwise, other people must have an idea. Yunqing’s army has always been rewarded for meritorious deeds and punished for mistakes, with clear rewards and punishments. Although he hated Yan Wushuang, he would not violate the rules he made.

Zaozao responded simply: “Okay!”

After speaking, Zao Zao hesitated and asked, “Dad, what’s wrong with you today? You seem to be very worried?” It was fine last night, but I don’t know what happened.

Yun Qing was silent for a while and said, “I don’t remember what your grandfather looked like.” He was sent to the capital to accompany Mr. Yun when he was three years old. The mica was fine, and he came back to celebrate Yun Qing’s birthday when he was seven years old. As for the two younger brothers, the eldest brother remembered that they were chubby little ones, and the younger brother had never seen them and didn’t know what they looked like. As for Father Yun, I only met him when he was five years old when he went to Beijing to work on errands. That time, when he was half dead, Father Yun only stayed in the capital for three days, but he left early and returned late. Therefore, every time he thinks of Father Yun, he is just a back.

“Dad, don’t be sad. I believe that Grandpa is in the spirit of the sky, and it will be very gratifying to see you let the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment.” The soldiers who guard the frontier shed blood and sacrifice, not to make the family safe and the people to live and work in peace and contentment.

Yun Qing’s expression softened a little when he heard this.

Zaozao said again: “Dad, don’t think about the past. People, you have to look forward. You can see your grandson in a short time, what a happy thing!”

“I didn’t know you were so comforting now.”

Zaozao smiled and said: “I’m not comforting you, I’m telling the truth. Dad, you see that you have a virtuous wife, a smart son, and a caring and lovely daughter, and you have calmed down the world and become the master of this world. Dad, do you think you are the happiest man in the world?”

Yun Qing glanced at Zao Zao, and although he didn’t speak, his frowning brows loosened.

In the evening, Zao Zao ate a hearty dinner, and then went back to practice the sword for a quarter of an hour.

On the second day, Yan Wushuang heard Zaozao say that Yunqing wanted to see him, and asked, “What did he see me for?”

Zaozao simply said that he didn’t know, and asked Yan Wushuang to ask. Zazao won’t talk too much about things that have nothing to do with her.

Hearing Yan Wushuang begging to meet, Yun Qing immediately rolled up the map on the table. Halfway through the scroll, he put the map back and flattened: “Let him come in.” The repelling and guarding against Yan Wushuang had already formed a conditioned reflex.

Yan Wushuang entered the room and saw Yunqing and did not bow down, but asked, “What are you looking for from me?”

Si Bonian said coldly, “You don’t kneel down when you see the emperor, and you want to rebel?” It’s ridiculous that he is just a loser, and he still puts on such an arrogant look.

Yan Wushuang looked at Yun Qing, saw the other party’s expression indifferent, and said, “Kill if you want!” His pride did not allow him to kneel at Yun Qing’s feet.

Yun Qing waved Si Bonian away, and when there were only two people left in the room, Yun Qing said, “There’s nothing special about calling you here, I just want to talk to you.”

Yan Wushuang was surprised and also found it very interesting: “Let me chat with you?” I still remember the last time I saw Yun Qing, this guy still looked disgusted. I even came to chat with him today. This is the sun coming out of the west.

“I don’t remember what my father looked like. What about you? Do you still remember what Marshal Yan looked like?”

Speaking of Marshal Yan, Yan Wushuang couldn’t help but straighten his waist and stand straight: “Naturally remember.”

“Yes, you grew up beside Marshal Yan, how can you not remember what he looked like.” After speaking, Yun Qing sighed and said, “I have only seen my father six times since I can remember. And these six times, Four times I only saw the back.”

Yan Wushuang finally knew why Yun Qing had specially called him here. Because they are all victims of the Tongcheng tragedy, they have a common language when talking about it.

“I just hope you don’t let the Tongcheng tragedy happen again. Otherwise, I don’t know how many people lost their homes and how many children lost their parents.” In the Tongcheng tragedy, I don’t know how many orphans were left behind.

“Such a thing will never happen again.” Yun Qing said these words firmly.

Yan Wushuang nodded and said, “I believe you.”

Yun Qing was startled, then smiled and said, “You know what? I had a dream that I died in your hands.”

“Unfortunately, dreams are the opposite.” If Yunqing was really killed by him, he wouldn’t be reduced to this point.

That nightmare has always left Yun Qing with lingering fears, and even now, he can’t be relieved: “I, in my dream, was bewitched by you, and promised to eradicate Song Guifei and the Song family with you.”

Back then, he really wanted Yun Qing to take revenge with him, but it didn’t work out.

“I agreed. Later, you also killed Emperor Changtai and made Zhou Yan a puppet emperor, and became the regent yourself. After that, you appointed me as the governor of the Northwest.”

Yan Wushuang asked unexpectedly, “Then what?”

Yun Qing glanced at Yan Wushuang and said, “Then you will kill the donkey and use the beauty trick to kill me.”

With a snort, Yan Wushuang asked, “Han Yuxi turned against you because you fell in love with a beauty, and then you were killed by a beauty?”

Yun Qing didn’t answer the question, but said, “In the dream, you became the winner, but you killed me. Now, I didn’t kill you.”

Yan Wushuang ignored this, but asked with a look of disbelief: “One day husband and wife, one hundred days of grace, even if you fall for a beauty trick, with Han Yuxi’s temperament, it’s impossible to watch you get killed by me, right?”

“Why do you talk so much?”

Yan Wushuang said with a smile: “It’s not that there are too many words, but the logic is incomprehensible. If you don’t say anything else, even for the sake of children, she won’t watch you get killed.”

Yunqing still didn’t answer.
