Chapter 97
Yan Yunhe had never thought that something must have happened in Prince Wu's Mansion, but he did not expect that these people would be so bold, using the prince as a guide to get rid of them together with Yan Yunhe.
If it was just a guess before, it's basically confirmed now.
King Wu died, Zhou Chonghua was imprisoned, Zhou Shanhe died during a winter hunt, and all the useful people around the prince were in trouble.
Those ghosts and monsters in the dark had the idea of replacing the prince.
There was actually gunpowder buried in the carriage the prince was riding in. If the prince hadn't noticed it in advance and wetted the place where the gunpowder was hidden with water on the way, Yanyun He might have died here.
But in order to protect the prince, Yan Yunhe was still seriously injured.
Those people actually had fire blunderbuss. If Yanyun hadn't been prepared early, the group of people would have suffered heavy losses if they were all wearing iron armor.
But even so, the huge force of the ammunition still seriously injured Yan Yunhe.
This was information that Fang Zhizhou had not provided, and no one from the Imperial City Division had found out such a secret.
No wonder Zhou Chonghua is so confident in this private army. The equipment of the team is very elite, and it is on par with those used by the Shenji Battalion.
Thinking about it now, if it weren't for Yan Yunhe, who was the admiral of the Shenji Battalion who led the troops, this battle would have failed quickly and suffered heavy damage due to this terrifying weapon.
It would be easy to say that he suffered a defeat. If he became a prisoner of war and the soldiers he led were recruited into the rebel army, it would not be impossible to fight all the way to Kyoto.
Those who wanted to get rid of the Crown Prince of Wu saw the huge potential of this army, so they took the risk.
After rescuing Prince Wu, Yan Yunhe didn't take good care of his injuries.
This time he underestimated the enemy too much. The lives of the people in the city were still in the hands of the enemy and there was no time to delay.
Especially if he loses, the consequences may be more serious than imagined.
Not only was it impossible to minimize casualties as Emperor Cheng Jing wished, but it would even involve the war in other capitals, causing civil strife and turmoil in the Jin Dynasty.
This battle can only succeed, not fail!
After simply taking care of the injury, Yan Yunhe and the soldiers stayed up all night in the tent, discussing the fastest way to invade Dongping.
After discussing several strategies, Yan Yunhe rejected them one by one. Xiao Liu came to report that the Crown Prince of Wu wanted to see him.
Yan Yunhe thought for a moment and asked people to come in. The prince still seemed to be in low spirits, but he looked much better than on the carriage.
Just after rescuing the man, Yan Yunhe took care of his wounds and asked the military doctor to take a look at the prince.
The military doctor carefully checked the pulse for a while before coming to a ridiculous conclusion. The prince was starved to this point. He must have not eaten for many days, and there were traces of being tied up on his hands.
Perhaps before Yan Yunhe proposed negotiations, Prince Wu had been imprisoned for a long time and almost starved to death.
After the crown prince was taken down to drink some water and rice, he asked the soldiers guarding him to see Yan Yun.
Regarding Prince Wu, Yan Yunhe's mood was quite complicated. Saving people at the moment was all due to instinct, but looking at someone who looked so similar to Yu Qin, his mood was still very subtle.
Unable to help himself, Yan Yunhe kept his gaze on Prince Wu's face for a long time.
The prince seemed to have become accustomed to other people's gazes. He lowered his eyes indifferently and ignored Yan Yunhe's inspection.
If you look at it a few more times, you will feel that everything is actually different.
I was originally doubtful about whether Prince Wu was of the blood of the former crown prince, but looking at such a face, no one could deny that he looked very similar to Prince Youyi.
It can only be said that the bloodline of the Wang family is really strong. Although the late empress and Yu Qin's grandmother Wang are from the same clan, they are not closely related. Their descendants are actually more similar than the biological brothers of some families.
The alertness and calmness shown by the prince next made Yan Yunhe feel amazed.
Prince Wu got straight to the point and said: "I know that the general cares about the people of Dongping City, so he has not attacked the city for a long time. If the general is willing to protect the people of Dongping City, I am willing to do a small favor for the general." Why
don't you be polite to Yan Yun ? He said: "Don't you ask yourself about your current situation first? Why should I believe you? What if what happened in the morning was just a trick and you are all in the same group?"
Prince Wu said calmly: "The general will save me. , and a military doctor was called for treatment, which means I won't die yet. As for whether that was a trick in the morning, I think the general had already thought about it."
Yan Yunhe looked at the young and surprisingly calm Prince Wu, and felt that he was still young . This person actually has some shadow of Emperor Jing.
Could it be that the royal family has produced such a monster? None of them are simple.
However, the prince of Wu Wang was still a little immature, otherwise he would not have been provoked by his subordinates to cause rebellion, take away military power, and almost starve to death.
When Emperor Cheng Jing was thirteen years old, he had already set up the Imperial City Department to confront the Queen Mother.
At the age of fourteen, he appointed Qi Shaolian as commander, recaptured the five cities captured by the Tatars, and pacified the border.
Compared with him, Prince Wu is still a bit inferior.
"I have a defense map of Dongping City in my hand, which I can provide to the general." Prince Wu said.
This is something Yan Yunhe urgently needs. With the map, he can formulate strategies better.
"Besides the people of Dongping, what else do you want to exchange for what you have in your hands?" Yan Yunhe asked.
Prince Wu shook his head. He seemed to be sincerely only for the people in the city, so he handed over the map, even though he is now The situation is also very dangerous.
Yan Yunhe gave this person a high look. Prince Wu handed over the map and quietly retreated.
During the next few days of battle, Prince Wu would provide some information from time to time, such as the character and weaknesses of the leading generals. Yan Yunhe discovered that his memory was quite amazing, and he had even studied the formations used by these generals.
These people wanted the death of Prince Wu, but instead they helped Yan Yunhe a lot.
After several battles, Yan Yunhe not only did not lose, but even won a small victory.
But now that the rebels have occupied Dongping City, if they close the city for defense and fail to attack by force, Yan Yunhe will be worried that it will reach the worst situation, that is, it will have to cut off Dongping City's food and grass, and the first victims will be those in the city. common people.
Moreover, Yan Yunhe's physical condition gradually deteriorated after he was attacked by a fire gun that day.
The wound has not healed under the pressure of the armor, and the body is constantly heating up. If it were not supported by a strong body, he might collapse.
The war was intense, and Yan Yunhe's heart became more and more confused day by day.
He found the Crown Prince of Wu again. Since he couldn't attack by force, he could only rely on internal disintegration.
Since the rebels inside could betray Prince Wu, they must not be loyal people. Greedy people always have weaknesses, which can lead to unexpected results.
However, even if this plan can be successful, it still requires available people in Dongping City to carry it out.
The Crown Prince of Wu does still have close associates in Dongping City, but in this situation, it is difficult to get the news through.
Yan Yunhe then resorted to disruptive tactics, sending people shouting at the city gate day and night, which exhausted the rebels defending the city. It was late at night before he successfully sent people to sneak into the city and contact the prince's cronies.
On the day he contacted Prince Wu, Yan Yunhe finally collapsed due to a high fever that refused to go away.
Yan Yunhe told Xiaoliu that the news must be blocked to prevent the morale of the army from fluctuating, and only close friends could enter his camp.
The military doctor came to check on his injury. It had not healed for a long time and had become ulcerated. The military doctor could only cut out the rotten flesh and apply medicine again.
In order to relieve the pain, Yan Yunhe drank a large amount of warm wine and Caowu powder. He felt drowsily as the military doctor used a knife to cut off the rotten flesh on his body.
Although the medication numbed certain sensations, the pain of cutting the flesh was still clear.
Yan Yunhe was sweating profusely from the pain, and he held on until the military doctor finished his actions before he fainted completely.
When he woke up again, the sky was already dark and the high fever had not gone away. Yan Yunhe felt that someone had entered his tent.
The man walked slowly to his hospital bed and seemed to be sizing him up without doing anything.
When Yan Yunhe opened his eyes suddenly, the man was startled and subconsciously stepped back.
But when Yan Yunhe was in a daze, he actually smiled at him: "Why are you here..."
After saying that, General Yan, who was decisive and resolute in killing in front of outsiders, shook his head stupidly: " Am I dreaming again?"
Prince Wu stepped forward slowly and bent down: "General, what's wrong with you?"
Yan Yunhe grabbed his hand and pulled him in front of him.
Prince Wu subconsciously supported the edge of the bed and found that the distance between himself and Yan Yunhe had become very close.
Before he could react, he became furious and felt the strength in his hand loosen. General Yan seemed to wake up from the confusion caused by the high fever, and he shrank back even more than he could react.
Prince Wu was afraid that he would involve his injuries, so he subconsciously held down his body: "General, if you keep moving, you really won't be able to get up tomorrow."
Yan Yunhe frowned: "Why did you come in, Xiaoliu? " Not outside?"
Before Prince Wu could speak, he heard faint sounds of conversation coming from the tent.
A woman said outside the tent: "I am a good friend of General Yan. You have met me in Qi Mansion before. He is also a relative. This is a token given by His Majesty. We came here because we were worried about Huaiyang. You stopped us." What are you doing?"
Yan Yunhe was startled. He actually heard Yin Niang's voice. Did he still wake up from the dream?
Prince Wu stood up and walked outside the tent: "What are you arguing about?"
Yinniang's originally worried and worried face was completely stunned when she saw Prince Wu.
Prince Wu has become accustomed to others making fuss about his appearance. He said to the soldiers beside him: "The general seems to be still burning. He just talked nonsense. It's better to ask the military doctor to come again."
These days, Prince Wu's contribution There are quite a lot of them, which gives them a lot of prestige.
The soldiers agreed, and one of them actually obeyed and went to find a military doctor.
Only then did Prince Wu have time to look at the woman in front of him. She had a beautiful face, and she had the emperor's token, so she had a lot of background.
I came here specifically. Could it be that this was the woman General Yan called in his dream just now?
Only then did he notice that there was a tall man standing next to the woman. He had an ordinary face, but his eyes were extremely moving, and he was staring directly at him at the moment.
The woman asked in shock: "Who are you?"
After saying that, the woman suddenly bit her lip, a glimmer of understanding flashed in her eyes, as if she knew his identity.
The Crown Prince of Wu frowned and was quite displeased with his disrespect, but he still endured the courtesy and said: "I wish you Yanjing, what important business do you two have with the general?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the tent behind him was suddenly opened, The smell of blood medicine mixed with the smell of wine came out.
General Yan, who was dying on the hospital bed just now, his cheeks still stained with blush, stared at the visitor in shock.
You Yanjing understood, it seemed like they were really good friends.
The next second, I heard General Yan's deep and angry voice: "Didn't I tell you to be obedient and take good care of your health?"
The woman couldn't help but said, "It's not because you were injured."
"Nonsense!" Yan Yunhe shouted in a low voice.
The woman frowned: "Yan Huaiyang, why are you so fierce!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the man next to the woman grabbed her and patted her arm comfortingly.
You Yanjing raised his eyebrows, there was still a three-way dispute?
The woman was angry: "I haven't said it yet, why can he enter your tent, but we have to be stopped?!"
You Yanjing: "..." What does it have to do with him?
