Chapter 29 The hatred of humiliation

Yue Shaoqian's military management style was the same as his square face. He was strict in running the army and followed orders and prohibitions, but he was not an ignorant person.

He felt a little depressed in his heart. He had been holding it in for so long and felt uncomfortable. Seeing his guards acting like this, he joked and said, "Why, are you thinking whether to die in battle or starve first?"

The personal guard was a little embarrassed. The general was always informal and nonchalant, so how could he be so arrogant?

"General, why don't we go out of the city and fight?"

Yue Shaoqian shook his head, forty days is too long.

Zhang Huaiyang had already set up his formation and set up camp. Donghu's soldiers and horses were good at frontal combat, and they had a numerical advantage. They would definitely not be able to defeat him in a head-on battle.

If you attack from the side, there will be no chance.

He sent a small group of soldiers and horses more than ten days ago to attempt a night attack, but they were discovered before they even got close to the Donghu camp, and he fled back in embarrassment.

Just the sentries along the road were so thorough that there was no need to talk about the camp.

Yue Shaoqian really couldn't find any chance to attack.

As for being trapped in Qiongzhou City, although it could delay time and there were six plans, Donghu did not dare to attack the city easily. There was basically no great pressure on the defenders, but in the end they were just dragging their feet.

At this time, Xiao Yuanchang climbed to the top of the city. Seeing Yue Shaoqian's tired appearance, he was worried that he had not slept for several days, so he advised:

"Yue Shaobao rested on the top of the city for a while. There are spies in the army patrolling the gate all the time. If there is an enemy attack, they will definitely be able to wake up the general as soon as possible."

Yue Shaoqian still trusted Xiao Yuanchang, especially after Xiao Yuanchang managed to survive for forty days with less than a month's worth of food and grass, he was even more impressed.

If he had been born a thousand years ago, he would have been a figure on par with Xiao Xiangguo.

So he just hesitated for a moment, his eyelids moved, but he didn't have the strength to open them, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's time to work."

After a while, his breathing became gentle.

"General."

The eyes of the personal guard who had been guarding Yue Shaoqian were a little dull.

The altar in front of the city gate was wiped and cleaned every day and replaced with new tributes and incense candles, so the Donghu people did not dare to attack by force.

To be honest, the defenders in the city were a little hungry except when they were sharing food in a small fight, and their workload was much less than before.

Except for Yue Shaoqian, not only did he not sleep for several days, he also ate the least amount of food.

If he himself guards for a while longer, he can let the soldiers guard for a while less; if he eats less, he can let the soldiers eat more.

The wind at night and the few wisps of fireworks floating out of the houses were a bit desolate just like the big man today.

Xiao Yuanchang took off his robe, looked at Yue Shaoqian's tired sleeping face, and wanted to step forward and cover him.

But I don't want to be stopped.

"With Yue Shaobao's temperament, even if he is asleep, he must be in a very light sleep. If you go up there, he will be awakened. It's better to let him rest for a while."

"Your Majesty?"

Xiao Yuanchang looked at the visitor, a little unbelievable.

The emperor, who had been playing Lego in the palace garden, would actually come to the top of the city at night?

Oh, I'm here to watch a show.

Liu Ke made a silent gesture and looked at the Donghu Camp in the distance:

"Keep your voice down, I won't be able to sleep soon."

"Hey - yeah -"

Suddenly, people started singing at the top of the city.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there were famous music and dance operas, and the artists at that time were called actors.

Music, dance and opera have developed to this day, and it was not until the cultural integration after Donghu moved south that it turned into singing opera.

Any performance on stage that involves reciting lyrics is called singing opera.

The artists who perform are called actors if they are more elegant, or actors if they are more vulgar.

It is already very different from the opera culture Liu Ke knew.

"It seems I came at the right time."

Hearing the lyrics, Yue Shaoqian suddenly woke up and looked towards the bottom of the city. Not far from the altar, the stage built by the Donghu people was lit up with lights.

He looked again and saw the emperor wearing a purple Taoist robe and a Taoist crown.

"Your Majesty, Yue Shaoqian, pays homage to His Majesty!"

Yue Shaoqian hurriedly paid his respects, but he was sleeping when the emperor came. It was really rude.

Liu Ke didn't let Yue Shaoqian bow down, but held him up halfway:

"What song is being sung in the city?"

Yue Shaoqian:

I originally thought that when the emperor came to the city and faced the soldiers of the three armies, he would have some eloquent speech and tell a plan to defeat the enemy, but I didn't expect that when he opened his mouth, he would ask Qu'er.

Yue Shaoqian didn't know much about singing, but after listening to it for so many days, he understood a few words, so he had to bite the bullet and answer:

"It's a trip to Langjuxu Mountain."

"A trip to Langjuxu Mountain?"

Liu Ke thought about one or two:

"Langjuxu Mountain is where the ancestral court of Donghu is located, that is, Donghu Holy Mountain. Is this the song of Donghu?"

Xiao Yuanchang did some research on this, nodded and said: "Exactly."

Listening to the singing in the city, Liu Ke was a little unwilling to admit defeat.

My Chinese culture is vast and profound, who do you think you are, Donghu?

The song was sung so loudly, which means that the Li Shimin who performed the directional attack was not Li Longji, otherwise a Liyuan founder would come out to have a showdown with these idiots.

Yue Shaoqian couldn't stand the emperor's neglect of his duties, so he straightened his helmet and reminded him indirectly:

"Your Majesty, is the Tongtian Tower completed?"

This song seemed to get better and better the more he listened to it. When Liu Ke heard Yue Shaoqian's question, he stopped listening to the song, nodded seriously, and said:

"It's completed. It covers an area of ​​100 feet and is 30 feet high. It offers a panoramic view of Qiongzhou City. It has ninety-nine pillars and a three-story platform. It is certainly no worse than Emperor Xiaowu's Tongtian Terrace in Ganquan Palace."

Thinking of this, he laughed:

"This big man now has two Towers to the Sky, in pairs, what a good marriage!"

"."

Liu Ding and Liu Jia just put it together, so forget it. After all, there are male and female fairies in the first place, and they are very particular.

What kind of broken platform can they still be in pairs?

Taking a step back, let's just say that Ganquan Palace and Chang'an face each other across the Wei River. Will we still see Chang'an one day?

Aren't you more cruel than the Queen Mother who tore apart the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl?

The Donghu singers in front of the city gate are still singing.

Liu Ke, who was on the top of the city, was a little bored while the wind was blowing, so he simply chatted with Yue Shaoqian and Xiao Yuanchang.

"Yuan Chang, you have been a Taishi Ling. You should remember what happened in the three years after Emperor Jing."

Xiao Yuanchang was not like Yue Shaoqian, nor was he like his continuous admonitions a while ago.

He has noticed the difference.

Ever since Dian Chu was granted the title of Imperial General, he stayed with the emperor and guarded him.

Only a few days ago, I replaced Yue Shaoqian to defend the city.

Now it is the most dangerous time for the emperor to visit the city in person. Although the emperor himself is the best marksman today, there are also many marksmen in the Donghu army.

As the saying goes, those who are good at shooting will die by shooting. At this time, Dian Chu should be guarding the emperor.

But it didn't.

Where did such a fierce general go?

With confidence in her heart, Xiao Yuanchang also felt relaxed and said as Jiazhen said:

"Three years after Emperor Jing's reign, Emperor Jing fell ill and his condition became more and more serious."

"At the critical moment when the Han court was turning all its attention to the emperor's illness, the Xiongnu military minister Chanyu once again raised troops to attack the border because he was dissatisfied with the Han court's recent disrespect."

Liu Ke habitually pinched his short beard under his chin without looking back, looking straight at the stage in front of the city gate, looking at the actors in a monkey show:

"Then what?"
