Ma Jichen flew across the long street. It was dusk when King Heng returned to Beijing. Yun Yu was reviewing the military newspaper. When he heard the message from the palace man, he immediately got up and walked quickly to support King Heng who was about to bow down. His eyebrows overflowed: “Second brother, you are back!”

Seeing his haggard face, King Heng said worriedly: “You are still weak, why don’t you take a good rest? Look at you, you have lost a lot of weight.”

Yun Yu felt in her heart: “Second brother is tired from the long journey, that’s the hard work, go back and rest.”

King Heng shook his head: “Now is not the time to rest, I brought that kid Chang Chu Jingyao back, do you think you want to beat him up first?”

Yun Yu smiled wryly: “What’s the use of beating him up? Izumo has already dispatched troops, and the flames of war are imminent. Obviously, it has been planned for a long time. Instead of attacking Jingzhou, which was guarded by General Wei and his son, the troops were divided into three places and attacked Binzhou first. Take the next city.”

Wang Heng frowned and said: “Binzhou? Why Binzhou?”

Binzhou is located in the west, remote and barren, crops are difficult to grow, and there are many barren mountains and dangerous cliffs, and not many people live in it. It is the best place to attack, but it is also the most tasteless place.

Even if Izumo captures Binzhou, he won’t get much benefit. Instead, the soldiers and horses will be exhausted in the barren mountains.As long as Dajin sets up an ambush on the Tongtian Cliff on the edge of Binzhou, the Izumo soldiers and horses will not be able to go any further.

Yun Yu said: “As long as there are advantages, people will always drive them. Although Binzhou is barren, there are mineral deposits in the mountains, which happen to be copper mines that are scarce in Izumo. I remember that my father sent people to mine in the early years, because the terrain was too steep. After that, it was shelved. Now the first battle of Izumo will occupy Binzhou, and its purpose is self-evident.”

Yun Yu looked at the topographical map of the border on the case, and he had already marked some key points, and there was a crisis everywhere: “Izumo came prepared at this time, and took my state without any effort. If our army Sending troops for reinforcements must be laborious, and there will be a weakness left, if we ignore it, the defeat in the first battle will probably shake the morale of the army and make the world laugh at us.”

“It’s so vicious!” King Heng was angry, “But we have Chang Chu Jingyao in our hands. If they are unkind, we will be unrighteous. Before we bring that kid into battle, if we have the ability to let them step on Chang Chu Jingyao’s body and beat him to death.” Come in!”

Yun Yu nodded: “That’s right, Chang Chu Jingyao is also a bargaining chip for us at this time. I will write the book and go there. If they are willing to stop the war, that’s all. Will say defeat!”

King Heng looked at his expression and found that he had grown so much after not seeing him for a few days. He felt relieved and went up to grind for him, and took away the report on the table, telling him to go back and rest quickly after finishing writing.

Yun Yu stamped the king’s seal, and called a messenger to send the letter away, with no expression of relaxation on his face: “Although I have said that, Izumo has been treacherous for a long time, and I am afraid that the war will not be stopped easily.”

King Heng said: “Then we have to wait until you have rested. It’s useless for you to suffer like this. If you don’t rest, then I won’t go either, just stay with you.”

Seeing his tired face, Yun Yu had no choice but to put down state affairs temporarily, and it happened that neither of them had dinner, so they asked the imperial dining room to prepare some food and wine, and the two brothers sat and drank together.

King Heng took a sip of wine, held the glass, pretending to be relaxed and said: By the way, where is Yun Chang?Call him together, we brothers have never had a drink together?When I asked you to drink it before, you always said that wine is easy to hurt your body and mess up your shape. It’s boring to hold it.Ah Chang is good at drinking, but loves to drink like crazy, today we will drink him together, and we will all watch his jokes hahaha…”

Yun Yu looked at his unnatural smile, and there was an indelible sadness between her brows, she wanted to say something to replace that heavy topic, but she couldn’t open her mouth, so she raised her glass and drank it down.

The spicy wine entered the throat, and the pain pierced the heart.

“What’s the matter, why don’t you call?” King Heng’s smile gradually became bitter, he patted the table, and said loudly, “Come here! Go and call King Yu here, and say that the second brother invited him to drink, today we brothers If you don’t get drunk, you won’t return!”

The palace people standing next to each other looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

“What are you still doing in a daze! Go!” King Heng slammed the wine glass in his hand on the ground and shouted almost out of control, “Are you all deaf? This king told you to call!”

Several palace people knelt down in panic, begging for mercy.

“Second brother…” Yun Yu finally couldn’t help sobbing, and took his hand, “Third brother is gone… gone…”

King Heng froze, his expression suddenly became blank, and his eyes lost their light.

He hurried back to Beijing all the way, full of thoughts about this matter, but he didn’t dare to look and ask after entering the palace, afraid that it was true.He thought that if he pretended to be okay, he would be really okay, and if he was asked to drink, he would really show up.

But what has already happened cannot be changed at all.People who have passed away cannot come back.

“Why…” King Heng clenched his fists tightly, his nails were almost embedded in his flesh, and said in a trembling voice, “Why did something happen to him? He never cared about things at all…even if the sky fell…he wouldn’t care… …”

Yun Yu endured the soreness in her nose, and said: “I don’t know why the third brother appeared on the altar in the northern suburbs… The people wanted to burn Xiao Changli to death, and the third brother was assassinated in the chaos…”

King Heng felt a chill in his heart when he heard the words, he already understood.

If he hadn’t asked him to risk his life to protect Xiao Changli before he left, how could he have rushed all the way to the northern suburbs?

This Yun Chang, who is so naughty, has no integrity, why is he so obedient this time…

King Heng felt chills all over his body, and sat on the ground slumped, covering his face in pain.The pain that had been suppressed for many days poured out, as well as the self-blame and regret that went deep into the bone marrow.

“It’s all my fault… I shouldn’t have let him go… It’s all my fault…”

Yun Yu held back her tears, and patted him on the back: “Second Brother, Shi Kuncheng ordered this matter. He is now absconding, and we must capture him back…to pay homage to Third Brother’s spirit in heaven…”

“Shi Kuncheng…” King Heng swiped hard, and hatred burst out from his red eyes, “Shi Kuncheng!”

He got up abruptly, and went straight out of the palace, leaving Yun Yu alone in the cold night for a long time, the palace lanterns that had just been lit cast a warm yellow color on his body, but they couldn’t drive away the darkness and cold behind him.

He wanted King Heng to do something, so that he could temporarily withdraw from the pain so that he would not be overwhelmed.

And the only person who can get him out of the pain and busyness is that person.

He drank a glass of wine to warm up his body, and then dried it by the stove for a long time, completely driving away the cold air from his body, and then lightly lay down beside Xiao Changli.

Only then can he have real peace of mind.

At first he didn’t dare to move, for fear of waking Xiao Changli up, but in the darkness, there was a hand holding his hand, warm and powerful.

Feeling the heart-warming temperature, Yun Yu leaned over to be beside him.

“I heard that Izumo has captured Binzhou?” Seeing that he didn’t speak, Xiao Changli asked himself.

Yun Yu didn’t answer, but just leaned into his arms again: “Don’t worry about these things, I will take care of them.”

Xiao Changli knew that he wanted to rest in peace, but at this moment, how could he be at ease?

What else would he say, Yun Yu reached out and pressed his lips: “I’m so sleepy, sleep.”

Xiao Changli had no choice but to stop talking, but he turned up the topographic map of the border that Xiao Qianlin had shown him in his mind, and calculated it in his heart.

After all this hard work, he fell asleep a bit late, and when Yun Yu woke up and saw that he was still asleep, she couldn’t help but kissed his lips, and was afraid of waking him up, so she carefully lifted the quilt and got out of bed, acting like a thief out the door.

There are palace people waiting outside the door, and they seem to be used to waiting for the emperor here.

After Yun Yu washed up, he plunged into the table again. Just in case, he had issued a decree a few days ago to collect food and soldiers, but it had little effect.High-ranking officials and nobles have rich families, but they only care about their own safety and are stingy in paying. So far, the number of conscriptions has not reached [-], which is not enough to deal with the current situation of the enemy.

The most troublesome thing is that Dajin lacks generals who can lead the army. The Wei family father and son alone cannot take care of Izumo’s attack and encirclement.

There has been no war in Dajin for decades, and the officials have been loose and the people have been safe for a long time. It is really not easy to enter the state of preparation for war at the first moment, not to mention that they are lucky to only attack the barren land of Binzhou because of the menacing Izumo, and there is no war. Naturally, he didn’t want to put in more effort due to the nervousness of the danger.

Yun Yu changed into court clothes and summoned all the officials to explain their interests, but many officials were naive enough to send troops for Izumo just to find Chang Chu Jingyao. Now that he has returned, as long as he is handed over to them, the war will be quelled.

Just when Yun Yu was struggling with how to persuade, the messenger sent an urgent military report, and the Lord Izumo had already responded to the letter Yun Yu sent, agreeing to welcome the prince back and retreat, but Binzhou, which had already been occupied, did not return it, and regarded it as the prince. Compensation for being robbed and suffering in Dajin territory.

Izumo’s move was already within Yun Yu’s expectation, a self-directed and self-acted disappearance, the bluffing army wanted to take away the state of Dajin and the immeasurable mineral deposits for nothing, this calculation was really beautiful.

Yun Yu handed the letter to the officials for circulation, without saying a word with a sullen face.

After reading it, most of the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this battle can be avoided, and they are quite happy.
