Chapter 229 First appearance on the battlefield
Xiahou Qing looked back at his father calmly, "I just think it would be a loss to exchange for the life of Xiahou He Mansion for the Great Zhou Lingwang!"
"Just!" Xiahou Miao sneered stubbornly, "What does this have to do with Xiahou Mansion!"
"Is it really okay?" Xiahou Qing did not allow him to escape and asked, "If it really doesn't matter, you will kill King Ling under the knife on the same day when you seize the mission. Why did you hesitate to survive between Tuoba Yu and Tuoba Rui until now!"
The fig leaf on Xiahou Miao's body was torn off by his son these days, and he staggered back two steps, and there was a bit of aging in panic.
"I don't know how reckless I do this, but I'm afraid I will never have the chance to kill Yue again in my lifetime!"
His voice was desolate and unwilling, "The late emperor has not realized his talent and strategy. Do we really have a chance in the future?"
Xiahou Miao looked at his son hopefully
"No, the cavalry of the Great Wei Dynasty will one day step onto the Yangtze River!" Xiahou Qing's voice was firm and decisive, "The late emperor's lifelong wish to unify the north, and now his long-cherished wish can be achieved. Tuoba Yu's ambition is even greater. He promised me that one day he would drink the Yangtze River. Even if you can't see this day, I will still be there! If I die in battle, I will have my brother and my son. As long as my Xiahou family continues to stop, I will one day use the blood of Yue to pay tribute to my mother and Amei's undead!"
Xiahou Miao nodded with relief and sighed helplessly, "I know that the knife that day did not cut down, and I no longer have the chance to kill the King of Tomb! I just let them go, and I am unwilling to accept it!"
Xiahou Qing smiled slightly, "Father, the road ahead is difficult and dangerous. You should send someone to escort them. As long as the delegation is in our hands, you can talk to Dazhou for any conditions!"
The father and son reached a consensus on the mission. Xiahou Qing asked his father again, "Are you still hesitating between Tuoba Yu and Tuoba Rui? The princess and Ah brother are in Pingcheng!"
Xiahou Miao smiled heartily, "I didn't send a letter to Tuoba Rui at all, and I just wanted to test it out. Even without the princess and Long'er, I wouldn't be in a relationship with Tuoba Rui. This person is stingy and difficult to accomplish great things!"
Xiahou Qing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and finally smiled on his face, "Father is wise!"
"It's rare that you can say good things in your mouth. You must be very tired when you run from Pingcheng to Luoyang in three days. Have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow, go north with the army to attack Tuoba Rui!"
Xiahou Qing nodded, and Xiahou Miao walked out, preparing to leave the big tent for his son.
Just as he was about to leave the camp, Xiahou Qing suddenly spoke: "Father, I hope it's a girl, and my son promised that she would never suffer any grievances!"
Xiahou Miao's eyes turned red when he reacted. The death of the original wife and daughter was not only a hurdle that his son could not overcome, but also a pain in his heart. However, there were too many scars in his heart, and even one more could not be seen.
At this time, he could not help but wet his eyes when he heard Xiahou Qing's words, for fear that Xiahou Qing would find out that he lifted the curtain and quickly left the tent. He stood under the cold night sky and took a deep breath, suppressed the irrepressible pain in his heart, and headed towards the tent where the Dazhou delegation was detained.
That night, he came out of the tent of the Great Zhou delegation camp and issued an order to drive back to Pingcheng early the next morning.
At this time, outside Pingcheng, Taiyuan King Tuoba Rui was already at the city.
Murong Qian's army of 100,000 will arrive outside Pingcheng at the latest two days later.
So Tuoba Yu only had two days to deal with Tuoba Rui the biggest blow.
However, the biggest problem Tuoba Yu is facing now is that he has no solicitors to be sent. Xiahou Qing is not here, Mo Qi and Mo You are not a good general to lead troops. Some young generals of the Zijing Army are also used to attacking according to their orders, and they are not enough to stand alone.
Therefore, the embarrassing situation has long been revealed. Among the 60,000 people, the only generals who can take action are Tuoba Yu and Qiu Linxi.
After thinking hard and unable to solve it, Tuoba Yu put his mind on Xiao Yucheng and Zhao Mingzhi.
Xiao Yucheng has rich experience in leading troops and he had an appointment with Tuoba Yu first, so he naturally could not refuse.
But Zhao Mingzhi disagreed. He was just a guard leader before and had never had any experience in leading troops to fight.
The five brothers Zheng Heng have the highest ones, but they can be a commander of a thousand men and a vanguard officer, but they can never do it.
Another problem is the identity of these people. Tuoba Yu's suspicion of treason for tyranny has not been cleared. Xiao Yucheng's face was wanted. If he appeared rashly in the Great Wei army camp and commanded tens of thousands of troops, it would probably cause a mutiny in the army!
However, Zheng Heng and others were not seriously injured as officers at the bottom. There were still many Han soldiers from the Great Wei, most of whom were Han people from the old subordinates before the founding of the Great Wei Kingdom and their descendants.
Tuoba Yu thought about it all night and gave two masks overnight, one gold and one silver, one gold and one silver, and one silver.
Because Zheng Wei insisted on going to fight, she has been practicing martial arts so far, and has not thought about what she will do in the future, but she will never be trapped in the back house like other girls in Jiankang.
Since I haven't figured it out, let's follow my heart. This battle is her first step!
Tuoba Yu was afraid that he would not agree, so the little wild cat ran to the battlefield secretly, but had no choice but to agree to her!
He was worried about her safety, so he made her become a commander and arranged a reliable deputy to help her.
For the first time, Tuoba Yu felt tired when he saw a child.
When Zheng Wei came to the military camp with a silver mask, he realized that their team was responsible for transporting supplies in the city.
Looking at the truckloads of grain, piles of stones, and the small face behind the mask wrinkled.
With her small body, can she resist food or move stones?
But she also knew that the military order had been given, so she rode on her horse and watched her soldiers transport stones and wood to the city gate.
They came to the city gate and watched the soldiers lifting stones upwards one by one and moving wood upwards one by one. Zheng Wei frowned again. This was too troublesome!
She had nothing to do anyway. Zheng Wei sent someone to find the craftsmen in the city. The two of them stayed together and thought about it for a morning. They polished two wheel-like things. They found a few hemp ropes as thick as wrists, and used wooden stakes to set up the wheels on the city wall and wrapped the ropes around.
She shouted to the people below: "Come and put the stones into the basket below!"
Then she ordered the two strong men to pull the rope down, and after pulling it for a long time, there was no movement. Zheng Wei looked embarrassed, but no one could see it.
She ran aside in shame and thought for a long time, put the wheel outside the city wall, and then sent a strong man to pull the rope.
They found that this time it was much more labor-saving. Both of them couldn't pull it. This time, one person could pull a large basket of stones, but it was still a bit laborious, and the two people could pull it up easily.
This happy discovery made the soldiers very happy, and the carpenters in the city were also busy.
After solving this problem, Zheng Wei was still a little proud, and finally it was no longer a burden!
Chapter completed!
