"Actually, before the prince came, there was no abnormality."

Wei Yun packed up his emotions and began to recall carefully: "I have been with the army since I was eleven years old. Although I rarely go to the front line, I am familiar with military affairs. After we arrived at the front line, we met Bei Di directly. After a confrontation, after Bei Di was driven out of the city, the two sides entered into a confrontation, and there was very little battle. My father used to be steady, he once said that Bei Di attacked from a distance, and the food and grass were unsustainable, so we only needed to defend the city. ."

Chu Yu nodded. She also knew the style of the generals and leaders of the Great Chu, and Wei Zhong's style was indeed the same. Wei Yun continued: "The confrontation did not last for seven days, and the prince came to the front line and served as the supervisor with the imperial edict. The prince once said that the treasury is now empty and a quick solution is needed, but his father did not agree. Disputes. But because my father was stubborn and unwilling to send troops, the prince couldn't, but they were at peace with each other."

"In the future, Yao Yong will come to Baicheng."

"Why did Yao Yong come to Baicheng?" Chu Yu frowned, Yao Yong was the commander of Qingzhou, and there was no pressure to defend Baicheng, why did Yao Yong appear there?

Wei Yun shook his head: "My rank is not enough to know. But I counted the provisions and managed the sundries. I know that Yao Yong smuggled 90,000 elite soldiers here. Instead of being stationed into Baicheng, the army hid in the surrounding area."

Chu Yu listened and carefully sifted the clues.

In the last life, Wei Yun finally carried Yao Yong's head to see the emperor. It can be seen that this matter must be inextricably linked with Yao Yong. Yao Yong secretly brought troops to Baicheng when Wei Zhong was guarding the city, and Wei Zhong obviously knew about it—even Wei Yun knew it. In other words, Wei Zhong didn't plan to just stick to it at that time. He and Yao Yong must have conspired to arrange something.

Chu Yu raised her hand and motioned Wei Yun to continue.

While recalling, Wei Yun pondered: "Then Bei Di came to call for battle, that day the battle was at the city gate, Bei Di was quickly defeated, and my father led the army forward. After I heard about it, I hurried to go. Stop it. Beidi's bravery can never be defeated so quickly. However, my father kept telling me to rest assured, and said that the second prince of Beidi was there and wanted to be captured and brought back to celebrate."

“Why does the father-in-law know that the second prince is there?”

Where did Wei Zhong get such hidden information?

However, time is running out, and Chu Yu didn't have time to think about it, just said: "Go ahead."

"My father drove me to count the food and grass, and took a few brothers out in two separate ways, chasing the enemy all the way, and breaking the trail all the way. Staying until the night..."

Wei Yun's voice was choked, and he couldn't speak for a while, Chu Yu stretched out his hand across the wooden fence and patted him on the shoulder.

She is not good at comforting people, because she has been comforted too many times, and she knows how pale words are.

I have to walk the road and endure the pain myself.

She can only convey her feelings and comfort by patting her shoulders.

Wei Yun raised his head and smiled, and said hurriedly: "I'm fine, sister-in-law, don't worry. Where did you just say? Oh, after the night, Yao Yong asked someone to inform me that they suffered Ambush, let me go for reinforcements."

Speaking, Wei Yun smiled bitterly: "But the soldiers in the city have all gone out, so there are only 5,000 left to defend the city, what can I reinforce?"

Wei Yun's voice was sarcastic: "It's just... collecting the corpse."

"Where are Yao Yong's troops?"

There was meaning in Chu Yu's voice, Wei Yun said calmly: "He said he was chasing another army and horse, and when he returned, his father and brother were already ambushed."

"He also said that he and the prince have told his father many times that they should not rush to pursue the remnant soldiers. Yao Yong is enough to chase them. The responsibility for this time lies in the father's refusal to listen to advice."

Wei Yun said, slowly clenching his fists: "I knew in my heart that this matter was different, so I went to Baidi Valley on purpose, do you know what I saw on the surrounding mountains? There are all the footprints of soldiers and horses on the edge of the mountains of Emperor Valley."

Chu Yu suddenly raised her head: "What do you mean?"

"My sister-in-law knows that when recruiting troops to buy horses in the army, they are all selected nearby. Therefore, the breeds of war horses are mostly different in different places. He is tall and runs fast, but his stamina is poor. While Yao Yong is supplied by Qingzhou horses, Qingzhou horses are mostly pony horses, and their hoof prints are a full circle smaller than that of Heling horses, and they are even worse than Beiguan horses used by Beidi. Don't."

"So, you mean that the circle of footprints on the edge of Baidi Valley was left by Yao Yong's Qingzhou Army."

Wei Yun nodded, his eyes full of coldness: "I don't know where this circle of footprints came from, I don't know that he went after Beidi's other troops and then turned back to Baidi Gu's footprints are still there from the very beginning... But I know one thing, there must be something strange about this matter, the Wei family's crime, if they don't investigate thoroughly, I don't admit it."

Chu Yu didn't speak, she pondered, when Wanyue's voice came from outside: "Young madam, it's time, please come out."

"How many people did Yao Yong lose in this battle?"

Chu Yu asked the last question. There were footsteps outside, and Wei Yun immediately said, "It's less than 10,000, but he reported 30,000."

Chu Yu nodded, stood up, and said, "Wait for my news."

After she finished speaking, she turned around, and before the jailer came in to chase the people, she said to the jailer, "Don't urge your lord, the concubine will leave right away."

"Sister-in-law!"

Chu Yu looked at him quietly, Wei Yun seemed to have countless words to say, but when the woman's gaze fell on him calmly, she couldn't say anything.

In the end, he just said: "Sister-in-law, this is the business of our men in the Wei family, you ... learn to take care of yourself."

He spoke dryly.

When he said it, he was afraid.

After all, he was only fourteen years old, and he was also frightened and uneasy in the face of this sudden wind and rain. The thought of facing everything by himself, the thought of the only woman who gave him stability and composure in the whole incident, also abandoned him, he also felt scared in his heart.

But he is a man after all.

When touching the woman's eyes like autumn water, Wei Yun told himself.

—He is the only backbone of the Wei family. The so-called backbone is to support the sky and protect the people under this roof.

And the women of his Wei family should be under the eaves that he supports, not exposed to wind and rain, and not to be bothered. Just ask happily every day which rouge gouache is good, and which noble girl's new makeup is popular in Huajing, just like when his father and brother were there.

He looked at Chu Yu firmly, but after hearing this, Chu Yu twitched the corners of his mouth, with a bit of pride in his eyes.

"These words - tell me when you grow up."

Speaking, she chuckled lightly: "You are still a child now, don't be afraid, sister-in-law covers you."
