Chapter 258: Pressing Forward
Back in Fenglin Courtyard, at this time, Qiandai was enjoying the cool in the pavilion in the garden, holding Murong Jingyang in her arms, and her hands were gently patting for a while.
At this time, Murong Jingyang rarely did not fall asleep, but looked around with his eyes open, and when he saw Murong Yichen in the corner of his eye, he waved his little hand and giggled.
Murong Yichen's footsteps paused, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook when he looked at his wife and children, and walked forward quickly.
Reaching out to pick up the little guy waving his little hand, he couldn't help laughing: "Yang'er, is this missing your father?" ”
I have to say that Murong Yichen is also awkward, and from time to time he is dissatisfied with this kid who occupies Qiandai's attention, but he is still very useful for Murong Jingyang's closeness.
It wasn't until she was light in her arms that Qian Dai came back from her thoughts, and when she saw the smiling bright face, Qian Dai hooked the corners of her mouth and said, "Why did you come back so early today." ”
Murong Yichen raised his eyebrows, naturally he wouldn't mention that he had left everything to others to do it, so he could come back so early.
only said that there were not many things, and Qiandai did not doubt it and nodded.
"Why is there a person here with Yang'er?" At this time, Murong Yichen noticed that Qian Dai's mood didn't seem right.
Could it be that someone chewed the root of his tongue in front of her? It seems that those people are really too idle.
Thinking of this, Murong Yichen's face turned dark.
Now Murong Yichen's emotions are becoming more and more difficult to control, but Qian Dai can see through his thoughts at a glance and know what bad thoughts he is thinking, so she hurriedly reached out and grabbed his hand, shook her head and said, "I'm fine, I just stayed in the house and took Yang'er out for a walk." ”
"Then why don't you have anyone around you?" Murong Yichen was a little skeptical.
"I wanted to be alone with Yang'er for a while, so I let them all go down." Qian Dai said softly, "It's cleaner if there are fewer people." ”
Murong Yichen's eyes flashed, and he looked at Qian Dai and said, "Does Dai'er feel that staying in Kyoto is too boring?" ”
Qian Dai glanced at Murong Yichen in surprise, "Why do you think so?" ”
"Dale hasn't been smiling a lot lately." Murong Yichen kept holding Murong Jingyang, holding Qian Dai in one hand and said in a muffled voice: "
"Did I restrain you?"
Hearing this, Qian Dai couldn't cry or laugh a little, raised her eyes to look at Murong Yichen and said, "I've just been thinking about where Yang Jinchen has run and where he is unhappy. ”
After a pause, his tone was serious, "You know, Yang Jinchen came to Chujing in Ouyang Zhongyi's convoy, but we didn't catch him, although we destroyed several of his footholds in Beijing, but I think, he must have some unknown hole cards, ordinary people, we can prevent it, but the Nanwang Mansion has been destroyed, and now Yang Jinchen has nothing, I'm afraid that he will go crazy and ignore it, and Yang'er is too young"
"I see." Murong Yichen looked down at the little guy in his arms, and at this time he was looking at him curiously with his eyes open, which made his heart soft for a while, "I will protect your mother and son well." ”
Yang Jinchen is terrible when he goes crazy, but he will not give him the chance to ruin his happiness.
He must be removed.
After thinking about it, Murong Yichen did not tell Qian Dai about his plan to go on the expedition at this time, but took into account Yang Jinchen's matter and pushed the plan back.
The people of all the countries had already seen the funeral ceremony of Mu Ronglan, and then set off to return to the country.
Then the situation became delicate, first Xiliang withdrew its troops from northern Xinjiang and retreated to the territory of Xiliang.
At this time, Ouyang Zhongyi, who received reinforcements from the Eastern Shu Kingdom, once again sent troops from Yangling to the northern frontier.
Now his plan is that the Yangling side will go up from the north, and the other way will be from King Xiang, who has a deep friendship with him, from Huchuan, which borders Dongshu in the south of the northern capital, to the south, and march south.
Ouyang Zhongyi has made up his mind to find a place in northern Xinjiang.
Without the obstruction of the Western Liang army, the 500,000 troops in the north marched all the way up, and once again inevitably encountered the 300,000 troops stationed in Yangling led by Feng Qi.
This is the first time since Ouyang Zhongyi led the troops to fight head-on with the army in the north, in the past year, Feng Qi received the order to retreat and defend to the death, and now he can fight, naturally he is very excited.
There were dozens of short-handed encounters for several days, and Ouyang Zhongyi's numbers had the advantage, but they were stunned because of the strong crossbow team in the north and fought on a par, and the two sides were deadlocked, Ouyang Zhongyi ordered people to camp on the boundary less than thirty miles away from each other inside and outside Yangling, and he was going to die.
Don't blame him for being stubborn, it's really that he is too proud, Yangling blocked his way to the north, thus making him lose the eastern capital, and he is proud of it, so he naturally stands up wherever he wants to fall.
His main force was once again poured into the battlefield in northern Xinjiang, and He Sheng and He Qizheng were divided into two routes, south and north, after receiving Murong Yichen's order, and frantically pounced on the land of Dongshu, which had been torn apart, and in less than half a month, the map of Dongshu, which had lost half of the land, was reduced by half again.
The angry Ouyang Zhongyi only gritted his teeth, but he was helpless, the Dongshu Plain, which originally belonged to the hilly area, happened to be demarcated by the eastern capital, and the location to the east of the distribution happened to be the land recovered first after the Great Chu occupied the Eastern Capital, and now the rest is not only sandwiched in the center by the Northern Xinjiang and the Great Chu, but also in the terrain, which is very unfavorable to them.
In addition, since the loss of the Eastern Capital, the forces that Dongshu had only suppressed have resurfaced, and several vassal kings have sprung up one after another, and they have begun to take advantage of the fire to rob in waves, they not only no longer respect him, the nominal Dongshu Emperor, but also send troops to dominate each side.
If he hadn't been afraid of them before, but now that he was on his back, he would definitely be swallowed by Dachu just by relying on the terrain of many plains, so he decided to use the northern frontier as a breakthrough to break this pattern after discussing with King Xiang, as long as they could take the northern capital, they could take advantage of the terrain to have the ability to fight with Dachu.
When everything is safe, it is not too late to turn around and come back to deal with those vassal kings who took advantage of the fire to rob.
Ouyang Zhongyi's plan is good, but the problems he can think of are naturally thought of by others, so how could Beijiang and Da Chu give him this opportunity.
He Qizheng and He Sheng received orders, invincible all the way, and successively repelled a small number of stubborn Dongshu troops, and at the same time cleaned up the pretentious vassal king, until they occupied most of the Dongshu land, then marched all the way, step by step towards Yangling, their purpose is very clear, that is, to take the Dongshu army.
