Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 318 Thirty-six tricks, cross the sea

These days, the flames of war that filled Guicheng gradually dissipated with the laughter of the crowd.

Originally, when Mo Li captured Guicheng, it was a trick, and it didn't cost a single soldier.And the only one thousand soldiers in Guicheng also survived. A battle that was supposed to be a battle of swords and blood, ended with such a fortunate ending, which is not everyone's wish.

What's more, Emperor Zhaoyi's imperial decree...

The imperial decree has been kicked to nowhere now. A sharp-eyed soldier saw a piece of yellow silk lying under the fence of the pigsty. Holy decree..."

Countless eyes of hatred and disappointment shot over, each one was a knife, wishing to cut this decree into tens of millions of pieces.

My heart is already cold, so why bother to look at this utterly inhumane thing?

Out of sight is pure!

"Burn it."

"Burn it."

Taishou Yang and Yang Yan spoke at the same time, and as soon as they finished speaking, someone handed over the torch.The yellow silk was immediately ignited, rolled to the ground, and was kicked several times by the angry soldiers.

The cloth that was burned to ashes took away those harsh words, and also took away the little bit of guilt left by the defenders of Guicheng for the Wudao Hunjun...

The next day, the weather was very fine and crisp in autumn.

Baili Jiuge hugged her lapel and wandered around the street with Gu Yan.In the streets and alleys, the people were talking about the upheaval last night, because they no longer have to bear such a heavy tax, and they are happy from the bottom of their hearts.When he saw Baili Jiuge walking by, he could not help stretching his neck to take a look, and continued to discuss while watching in amazement.

The sun was a bit warm, and I fell asleep while basking in the sun.Baili Jiuge breathed a sigh of relief, turned his eyes and smiled at Guyan, and said, "Qiuhang just brought food and grass here today, and I can distribute some to the people of Guicheng later. Now that I think about it, that bastard Yin Haoyi The imperial decree came at a good time, if he hadn't dug his own grave and hurt the hearts of everyone in Guicheng, they wouldn't have turned against each other."

"Oh, that's not necessarily true." Gu Yan put his hands behind his hands, narrowed his humorous eyes, and smiled meaningfully.

"What do you mean?" Baili Jiuge asked.

Gu Yan replied with a smile: "With my brother-in-law's perfect tongue, even if there is no imperial decree from Emperor Zhaoyi, he can still persuade the guard of Guicheng to surrender."

Baili Jiuge was startled, but he didn't doubt Mo Li's level at all.However, why does the saying of a three-inch tongue sound so slandering Mo Li?It seems to be saying that Mo Li is just a lip service.

Baili Jiuge said: "Mo Li is not just talking but not doing."

"I know." Gu Yan said: "Heifeng, think about it, Emperor Zhaoyi's oppression of the people is not a day or two. Consider, so, what do you think?"

"Too……"

"That's what it is." Gu Yan rolled his eyes and said, "Convincing people with force is the worst policy; persuading people with reason is the middle policy; persuading people with virtue is the best policy. My brother-in-law has given this point to me. Played to the extreme, handy! Unmatched, unmatched!"

Baili Jiuge sneered, hit Gu Yan on the shoulder, and stopped talking about it.

After strolling around, when they returned to the prefect's mansion, they happened to see Mo Li and Yang Yan talking about something.Baili Jiuge looked at it at first glance, Mo Li was elegant and gentle, and Yang Yan was firm and firm, and suddenly felt that this picture was quite attractive.I think it's because I feel a little more relaxed now, and my mind is different, that's why I think so.

She approached and called out: "Mo Li, Jin'er and I are back."

"Hmm..." His smile, when he looked at Baili Jiuge, was as gentle as a peach blossom in March.

Stretching his arms, he hugged Baili Jiuge, sat beside him, took his favorite pat, and said softly, "Just rest in Guicheng and leave the matter of attacking Suicheng to me."

Baili Jiuge was stunned, "Mo Li, I can also contribute. Didn't I help you with Guicheng this time?"

"Don't get me wrong." Mo Li combed Baili Jiuge's hair meticulously, lightly brushed off a fallen leaf from her bun, and explained softly: "The prefect of Suicheng is arrogant and arrogant, and he has never had any precautions." , relying on the natural danger of the Baihe River outside Suicheng, you will have nothing to fear. Such a person is not difficult to deal with, just use a little strategy, and wait for the work with ease. I will leave this matter to me, and you can take your jin'er to accompany your family with peace of mind Bar."

"Oh, well..." She believed Mo Li's words, and nodded heavily, knowing that Mo Li was discussing something serious with Yang Yan, so she didn't bother.

"Mo Li, take your time, I'm going to the backyard first." Baili Jiuge kissed Mo Li's face, took the lapel, and left with a smile.

In the bedroom in the backyard, behind a simple old elm screen, there is a strong smell of medicine.It was Bai Lixiao who had just boiled the concoction, brought it to Jing Liufeng's bedside, and fed her to drink it with his own hands.

Jing Liufeng's body was still weak, and coupled with the bumps last night, Baili Xiao was really afraid that she would fall down, so when he came to Guicheng, he carried her to the couch to support her body, and he took care of her personally.

Baili Jiuge walked around the screen, the light embroidered shoes were stained with old dust, she watched the ordinary and warm scene between mother and father, the corners of her lips curled up, her eyes were bright and happy.

"Father, Mother." She called them softly, walked over, put the baby in the cradle, then sat on the bedside, took the medicine bowl and spoon from Bai Lixiao's hand, "Let me do it."

He scooped up a spoonful of medicinal soup, blew on it, and brought it to Jing Liufeng's lips.

This was not the first time Baili Jiuge fed medicine to someone, but it was the first time she gave medicine to her mother with her own hands.

Looking at the face in front of her that is very similar to her own, which has been stained with the traces of time, her heart is sour and sweet, but it is full of hard-won happiness.

Years, although it will make people old, and even make many things unrecognizable.However, ordinary family affection is like wine, the longer it is brewed, the more mellow it becomes.

Baili Xiao suddenly said: "I heard about what happened last night."

Baili Jiuge was blowing the medicine in the spoon, and said, "Yes, Yin Haoyi has dug his own grave. If it weren't for Mo Li's kindness, I don't know if the people of Guicheng can survive this winter."

Baili said nothing.He thought about when Jiuge told him about Emperor Zhaoyi's various evil deeds at the beginning, he still couldn't believe it, and it was difficult to form feelings because he didn't have personal experience.However, he had experienced what happened last night, and he understood that Jiu Ge hadn't exaggerated anything.

Unexpectedly, the little prince he rescued from the enemy camp with his life in the past turned into such a tyrannical and senseless king.

Bai Lixiao asked himself that he was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but he was definitely not a foolish and loyal person. Since Emperor Zhaoyi behaved like this, he was indeed unworthy to be emperor.

"Father, what are you thinking?" Baili Jiuge waved his five fingers and waved in front of Baili Xiao, seeing his father come back to his senses as he wished.

"I'm thinking about Emperor Zhaoyi, and I'm going to continue to observe." Baili Xiao replied word by word.

Baili Jiuge nodded and continued to feed Jing Liufeng medicine. The mother and daughter talked about themselves, and the time passed quietly like this, full of warm family affection.

After Zhou Guo captured Guicheng, he rested on the spot.Because Qiuhang brought a lot of food and grass, Mo Li distributed the food and grass to the people.The people also gave the quilts, clothes and other items from their homes to the soldiers of Zhou State.

These were all seen by Baili Jiuge and Baili Xiao, and they naturally understood that the common people had long held grudges against Emperor Zhaoyi and dared not speak out. With the favor of Mo Li, it is natural that the people's will is a matter of reason.

However, it is said that Guicheng is located in an important military area. Once Guicheng falls, Suicheng behind will be very troublesome.But just like what Mo Li said, the prefect of Suicheng was arrogant due to the natural danger of the river in Suicheng, and lacked a defensive mentality. Yufeng said that dealing with this kind of enemy is as easy as picking something out of a pocket for His Royal Highness.

And soon, Yufeng's statement was verified.

It took only five days for Mo Li to take down Suicheng.

Gu Yan participated in the whole process. After the good news came, Chi Chi Chi Chi told Baili Jiuge the process of winning Suicheng, and he told it vividly.

Gu Yan said that Mo Li ordered the army to rest and only organized [-] garrison troops to deploy on the banks of the Baihe River in the natural danger of Suicheng. Suicheng.

Sure enough, the prefect and defenders of Suicheng couldn't tell the truth from reality. At first, they thought that Zhou's 20 troops were approaching, so they quickly gathered all the forces in the city and prepared for a decisive battle.But then, it was discovered that it was Zhou's defenders who were mobilizing, not attacking, so the prefect of Suicheng withdrew the fighting troops.

So again and again, Zhou Guo frequently adjusted his defense without revealing any clues. The prefect of Suicheng felt that it was commonplace, thinking that Zhou Guo must be blocked by the natural danger of Baihe, and he could not find a way to attack the city, so he relaxed his guard against Zhou Guo.

So on the fifth day, Mo Li led an army of 20 troops across the river, like a heavenly army overwhelming, caught Suicheng off guard, and pulled out Suicheng with minimal casualties.

Until now, the prefect of Suicheng just woke up like a dream, and hurriedly abandoned the city with his tail between his legs.As soon as he left, the remaining defenders of the city no longer had the will to fight and simply surrendered.

Mo Li immediately gave food to the people of Suicheng. The people have been suffering for a long time, and this time, not only did they not resist, but they were all happy.

Gu Yan said this with great interest, Fang felt his mouth was dry, grabbed a cup of hot tea and downed his stomach, said: "Brother-in-law said, the trick of playing Suicheng is to hide the sky and wait for work. I'm going to learn it secretly Both hands, in the future, will also show falsehood and hide the truth, and use the trick of suspicion to tease my buddies in the rivers and lakes."

Baili Jiuge is naturally proud of Mo Li, but after hearing Gu Yan's unkind last sentence, he smiled and said: "It's not good for you to play tricks on anyone, but to play tricks on your friends, Gu Yan, you are too disrespectful." , I am really sweating for those people who made friends with you."

Gu Yan let out a "呿", rolled his eyes, and was noncommittal.
