It's all abstract destiny, you're one emperor through the ages

Chapter 29
Yue Shaoqian's style of running the army is the same as his square face. He is strict in running the army and prohibits orders, but he is not a person who does not know what to do.

He felt a little depressed, and he didn't feel comfortable after holding it in for so long. Seeing the guard like this, he said with a smile: "Why, are you thinking of dying in battle or starving first?"

The personal guard was a little embarrassed, the general always talked and laughed casually on weekdays, how could he be eccentric.

"General, why don't we go out of the city to fight a battle?"

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

Zhang Huaiyang had already set up his formation and set up his camp. Donghu soldiers and horses were good at frontal combat, and they also had an advantage in numbers.

If you hit from the side, you can't find a chance.

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

Just the guard posts along the road are so meticulous, so there is no need to say more about the camp.

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

As for defending Qiongzhou City, although it can delay time, and there are six Ding Liujia plans, Donghu dare not attack the city easily, and the defenders basically do not have much pressure, but after all, they are just dragging on.

At this time, Xiao Yuan often climbed to the top of the city, seeing Yue Shaoqian's exhausted appearance, he was afraid that he hadn't slept for several days, so he persuaded:
"Yue Shaobao rested on the top of the city for a while. There are always spies in the army patrolling the gate. If there is an enemy attack, he will definitely be able to wake up the general at the first time."

Yue Shaoqian still trusted Xiao Yuanchang very much, especially after Xiao Yuanchang forcibly spent less than a month's worth of food and grass for forty days, he admired him even more.

If he was born a thousand years ago, he would be a figure who could equal Xiao Xiangguo.

So he just hesitated for a moment, moved his eyelids, but 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 lighter.

"General."

The guard who had been guarding Yue Shaoqian's side all this time had a bit of astringent eyes.

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

To be honest, the defenders in the city are a little hungry except when they distribute food in Xiaodou, and their workload is much less than before.

Except for Yue Shaoqian, not only did he not close his eyes and rest for several days in a row, but he also ate the least amount of food.

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

The wind at night and the wisps of fireworks floating from the houses, just like the big man today, is a bit bleak.

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

But he didn't want to be stopped.

"With Yue Shaobao's temperament, even if he fell asleep, he must have slept very lightly. If you go up, you will wake up with a start. Let him rest for a while."

"Your Majesty?"

Xiao Yuan often looked at the person coming, a little unbelievable.

The emperor, who has been playing Lego in the palace, will come to the city at night?
Oh, it's time for a play.

Liu Ke made a silent gesture, looking at the Donghu camp in the distance:
"Keep your voice down, you won't be able to sleep soon."

"Hey—yah—"

Suddenly, the city began to sing.

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

Music and dance operas have developed to the present, until the cultural integration after Donghu went south, it became singing opera.

Anyone who performs on stage with reciting lyrics is called singing opera.

As for the performers, if they are elegant, they are called actors, and if they are vulgar, they are actors.

It is not too different from the opera culture in Liu Ke's cognition.

"It seems that I came just in time."

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

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

"Chen Yue Shaoqian pays homage to His Majesty!"

Yue Shaoqian hurriedly bowed, but he was sleeping when the emperor came, it was really rude.

Liu Ke didn't let Yue Shaoqian bow down, and held him in the middle:
"What song is sung in the city?"

Yue Shaoqian:
I originally thought that the Son of Heaven would come to the top of the city and face the soldiers of the three armies, and he would have a high opinion, telling the plan of defeating the enemy in one word, but I didn't expect to ask Qu'er when I opened my mouth.

Yue Shaoqian didn't know much about singing opera, but after listening to it for a few days, he also understood a few lines, so he could only bite the bullet and answer:

"It's a trip to the Wolf in Xushan."

"Wolf living in Xushan?"

Liu Ke thought about it:
"Langjuxu Mountain is where the ancestral court of Donghu is located, that is, the holy mountain of Donghu. Is this the song of Donghu?"

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

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

My Chinese culture is extensive and profound, how old are you Donghu?

The song is still sung so loudly, that is to say, Li Shimin is not Li Longji who draws directional draws, otherwise there will be a whole grand master of Liyuan, who will come and shake his head with these dogs.

Yue Shaoqian couldn't bear the sight of the emperor being so careless, so he couldn't help straightening his helmet, and reminded him in a circumstantial way:
"Your Majesty, is Tongtian Terrace finished?"

This song seemed to get better the more you listened to it. Liu Ke stopped listening to the song when he heard Yue Shaoqian's question, and nodded seriously, saying:
"After completion, it covers an area of ​​99 feet and is [-] feet high. It can overlook Qiongzhou City. There are [-] pillars and a three-story platform. It must be no worse than Emperor Xiaowu's Tongtian Terrace in Ganquan Palace."

Thinking of this, he laughed:

"This big man now has two towers that reach the sky, and they are in pairs. It's a good marriage!"

"."

It's fine if the six Ding Liujia get together, after all, there are male and female fairies, and they are particular.

How can such a broken table be paired together?
Taking a step back, let’s say that Ganquan Palace faces Chang’an across the Wei River, will we still see Chang’an one day?

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

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

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

"Yuanchang, you have been a Taishi Ling, you should remember what happened in the last three years of Emperor Jing."

Xiao Yuanchang was not like Yue Shaoqian, nor was he constantly admonishing him like he did a while ago.

He could already sense the difference.

Since Dian Chu was appointed as a former imperial general, he has been inseparable from the emperor, guarding the left and right.

Only in the past few days, Yue Shaoqian replaced Yue Shaoqian to defend the city.

And now the emperor is going to the city in person, which is the most dangerous time. Although the emperor himself is the number one marksman today, there are also many marksmen in the Donghu army.

As the saying goes, those who are good at shooting die because of shooting. At this time, Dian Chu should be at the emperor's side most.

However, it does not.

Where did such a fierce general go?
With confidence in his heart, Xiao Yuanchang also relaxed in his heart, and said like a few treasures:
"Three years after Emperor Jing's time, Emperor Jing fell ill, and his condition became more and more serious."

"At the critical moment when the Han court shifted all its energy to the emperor's illness, Shan Yu, a military official of the Xiongnu, was dissatisfied with the Han court's recent disobedience, and once again raised troops to invade the border."

Liu Ke habitually pinched his short beard under his chin, without looking back, and looked straight at the stage in front of the city gate, at the actors who looked like monkeys:
"and then?"
