In the early morning, in Shaoling, the inn, where the emperor stayed, Yuwen Weicheng closed his eyes and hummed, as if he was talking in his sleep. Yuchi Chifan gently patted his son, muttering children's songs, thinking about things in his heart.

The mother and son were sleeping well tonight, but somehow Yuchi Chifan suddenly felt palpitations. Then he woke up, tossed and turned for a while before falling asleep in a daze.

Not long after, Yuwen Weicheng suddenly talked about his sleep, grabbed his hands with his hands, as if he had a nightmare. Yuchi Chifan, who had already been sleeping lightly, woke up again and quickly coaxed his son to fall asleep.

My son is still young and doesn't know anything, so Yuchi Chifan thinks he has had a strange dream, not like her, because he misses his husband, which leads to his thoughts on the day and night.

Somehow, she felt that something was wrong in Xuanhu City. She wanted to get up and go out to see it, and then she remembered that she was not in Beidaying.

If it was in Beidaying, then Yuchi Chifan was only a few miles away from Yuwen Wen. Although he could not meet, Yuchi Chifan would feel better at such a distance because she could know how her husband was.

The government army attacked the city, and it was very disturbing. She could vaguely hear it in the palace. As long as there was no tide of cheers, it meant that the government army did not attack Xuanhu City, which meant that Yuwen Wen was fine.

Every morning, Yuchi Chifan would silently listen to the movements in the direction of Xuanhu City, and he could feel relieved when the sun sets, because he knew that the government army had not invaded the city, and Yuwen Wen spent another day safely. This was her "daily life" of making fun of her suffering.

Now, leaving Xuanhu north, I can no longer feel the safety of Xuanhu in person, and I cannot know the situation of my husband. It feels like I am blindfolded and walking in the corridor, because I don’t know when I will hit the pillar and feel worried.

Her uncle Yuchi Dun had a cold due to falling into the water before. His condition was not serious and he attended the ceremony on the New Year. However, his condition suddenly worsened a few days ago, his high fever did not subside and he was unconscious.

Wind and cold can be big or small. If it turns into tuberculosis, it is a terminal illness. Even Hua Tuo cannot be cured even if he is alive. Yuchi Chifan thought of this and was as worried as his mother Wang, so he had no objection to set off for the north immediately.

Of course, no one really takes their opinions seriously.

As the prime minister, Yuchi Dun was the actual head of the court. His safety and danger were of great importance, so his condition was not made public. This time, he returned to the north and claimed that "the emperor was ill", so he ended his imperial expedition and returned to Yecheng.

The generals were responsible for the attack on Xuanhu. The seriously ill Yuchi Dun returned to Yecheng. Wang went to check on the disease. After returning, he said that the condition was not optimistic and it was still unclear whether he would get tuberculosis. Yuchi Chifan could only pray for his uncle's safety.

The uncle and her father Yuchi Shun are not brothers of the same birth, and they actually have a bad relationship. Yuchi Chifan himself separated from his husband because of his uncle and may never meet again, so he was of course unhappy.

But she is no longer the ignorant Yuchi Sanniang who was in the past. She knows that the safety of the family is now related to the safety of the uncle. If the uncle is seriously ill and does not treat it, the family will inevitably have internal strife.

What will happen after an internal strife in the family standing at the peak of power? Yuwen Wen said when talking to her, so even if he is in a complicated mood at this time, Yuchi Chifan really hopes that his uncle can survive.

That's all she could do. Her son was made the new king and was a puppet, while her mother and son were under house arrest. The clay Buddha crossed the river and could not protect himself. How much could he have to worry about other things?

Yuwen Weicheng stopped humming and turned over comfortably. Seeing his son sleeping soundly, Yuchi Chifan put the clothes he was wearing aside, covered himself with a quilt and fell asleep, sleeping beside his son.

Yuwen Weicheng turned over again, and turned from lying on his back to lying flat on his back. Yuchi Chifan looked at the outline of his son's face and couldn't help but think of Yuwen Wen. For a moment, he felt mixed emotions and his eyes were blurred.

She prayed in her heart: It should be fine...

.....

"Night attack...Night attack...I didn't repeatedly tell me to be careful, how..."

Cui Zishu, who was on the verge of an outbreak, clenched his right hand into a fist, trembling slightly, trying to smash the desk, but finally he held back and was ordered to come from the North Camp outside Xuanhu City to convey the message, lowering his head and not daring to speak.

The prime minister was seriously ill and fell into a coma, and he would only recover his mind occasionally. Therefore, his confidant Cui Zishu was in charge of the overall situation at this time, but he had to follow the emperor and the prime minister to return to Yecheng, so the attack on Xuanhu was left to several generals to take charge.

Before leaving, he explained many precautions like an old woman. One of them was to require the generals of the battalions to be stable first, and even if they have an absolute advantage in military strength, they should not be careless.

What happened? He was attacked by the enemy at night. The other party attacked Beidaying, and a fire burned the granary!

Cui Zishu was in Shaoling. After hearing the news, his mind went blank. He couldn't think of what words to use to describe his mood at this moment. If the battle has reached this point, what else can he say?

Attack, if you can't attack, if you can't defend, you can't defend the camp. Beidaying has become a toilet, and the enemy will leave as soon as you want.

It is obvious that our side is the attacking side, and it is obvious that our side is besieging Xuanhu with a strength of more than ten times, but now it is being beaten to the enemy in a mess. The offense and defense are easy to attack and defense. Is it because the government army is too incompetent or the opponent is too powerful?

Cui Zishu did not say a word, and the generals on the side didn't know what to say, because according to the reports of these soldiers, there were two enemy soldiers attacking Beidaying. In Xuanhu City, the enemy soldiers attacked the south side of the camp, and another enemy soldier launched an attack from the east side.

The Xuanhu was locked tightly by the long encirclement and the trench, so the enemy soldiers who launched the attack from the east came from elsewhere. According to various circumstances, the enemy soldiers had to go through Hongcangbei to achieve such a tactic.

How is this possible?

The generals surveyed the terrain around Xuanhu on the spot and knew the situation of Hongcang Pond. The enemy reinforcements who had arrived at the southern suburbs of Xuanhu suddenly retreated. They felt that they could not take it lightly, for fear that the other party would divide their troops and detour, but there was no terrain around Xuanhu that was suitable for large groups of people to sneak and detour.

In Hongchangbei area, there are dozens of large and small ponds, with not many roads, and there are mudflats and reed marshes everywhere. It is impossible for cavalry to detour. If it is infantry...

It’s cold and the river is cold and the water is biting. How long can the infantry in the tidal flats last?

Hongcang Pond is northwest and southeast, located in the east of Xuanhu City, stretching for three to four hundred miles. If an enemy army enters the Pond from its southern end, it will reach the east of Beidaying, which is more than one hundred miles away.

Hiking in such a place is a very difficult thing. If the enemy wants to use this roundabout way, it is basically impossible to achieve the goal of a surprise attack in the short term.

Everyone thinks this way, but things still happen. What else can I say now?

"How is the casualties?"

"I don't know the specific casualties... However, many people fled at night and waited for the enemy to retreat. After dawn, they returned to the camp one after another. When they arrived at Shaoling, there were about 10,000 casualties."

"How is the camp?"

"The south side of the Daying, the east side of the camp gate was damaged, but the long fence on the south side of the trench was not damaged much. The camp area on the east side of the Rushui was severely damaged, the palace was burned by the thief, and there was also a granary..."

When it comes to the burning of the granary, everyone’s hearts were ache. When the Beida Camp was attacked, the number of direct casualties was over 10,000, and the total number of government troops was still large, but the food and grass were burned. How can we fight the next battle?

Thinking of this, everyone didn't know whether to be grateful or regretful. If the Prime Minister was not seriously ill, he would not return to the north and the emperor would not leave with him. In this way, the sixth leader of the imperial guards and the guard team were in Beidaying. Can the enemy's night attack achieve such results?

In other words, if the Prime Minister and the Emperor are still in Beidaying, once the enemy rushes in, it will be very dangerous, because it is said that among the enemy soldiers attacking the camp that night, some claimed to be the King of Xiyang.

This mad dog seems to be in Xuanhu City. As soon as it comes up, it will bite people when it catches people. What should I do if something happens to the Prime Minister in the chaos, or if the emperor is taken away by Yu Wen Wen?

Therefore, when the civil and military officials in Shaoling learned about the bad news of the attack on the Beidaying, they really didn't know whether to be grateful or regret it.

Shao Ling was very cautious both inside and outside and was not afraid of sneak attacks, but now, they must make a decision: whether the Prime Minister should know this news.
