Youzhou Yanwangfu study

After reading the letter he had just received in his hand, King Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud. Nian Yuan, Xiao Qianchi, and Xiao Qianwei, who were sitting in the study, couldn't help but look at the person on the main seat in surprise. King Yan is graceful and dignified, and he is also extremely heroic in the army, not like a southerner, but like a native of the north. But after all, he is in a high position, and most of the time Yan Wang's temper is still relatively restrained. Even when they win a battle, they rarely laugh out loud like this.

Xiao Qianchi looked at the letter in his hand, and his heart moved and hurriedly asked, "Father, is it my cousin who has become over there?" "If my cousin can say that Uncle Dongning helps Youzhou, then it is natural for my father to be happy. Although he felt that Uncle Ning was not such a persuasive person, didn't his cousin even the leader of the Warat tribe turn against him?

Nian Yuan and Xiao Qianwei also looked at King Yan, and Nian Yuan frowned slightly. He knows a little about King Ning, even if Wei Junmo and the others are clever, it is even more difficult to say that King Ning will send troops now.

King Yan shook his head and said, "No, the old seventeen's temperament is understood by this king. I don't care about anything, but I have a plan in my heart. At this time, the situation is unclear, and it is better for him to be his King Ning at ease than to follow us through this muddy water. "King Ning and him are not born to the same mother, and the age difference is more than ten years, and it is impossible to have any deep brotherhood, how can he just listen to a few words and follow him to play rebellion. Not to mention anything else, even King Yan himself wouldn't do this.

"That's ......"

King Yan said: "Jun'er followed Wufang, and said that the seventeenth brother borrowed 150,000 elite soldiers from him. ”

"Borrowed soldiers?" Xiao Qianchi and the brothers couldn't help but exclaim in unison. Xiao Qianchi hesitated for a moment and said, "Father, it is definitely not for nothing to ask Uncle Seventeen to borrow troops, how useful can 150,000 soldiers and horses be?" "Although there are not as many soldiers and horses as the imperial court in Youzhou now, there is no shortage of soldiers and major generals. If you want to borrow troops from King Ning and not bleed, even a naïve person like Xiao Qianjiong will not fantasize. So, what is the use of these soldiers and horses borrowed? Is this a good deal?

Nian Yuan was also stunned for a moment, but he obviously thought better than Xiao Qianchi and the brothers. Seeing King Yan looking at him, he couldn't help but shake his head and smiled: "Young Master Wei has a good move, and the little monk admires it tightly." ”

"Please also ask the master to give advice." Hearing Nianyuan say this, Xiao Qianchi also understood that there was something he didn't expect, so he hurriedly asked. Nian Yuan returned the salute and said with a smile: "If the little monk expects it to be good, Wei Gongzi borrowed 150,000 elite soldiers from Xizhou, and he should plan to go south to take Jinzhou Chenzhou, and then use these places as the basis to go east to Jinling and Youzhou Wei to outflank and flank the imperial army." In this way, it can not only speed up the progress of the war, but also help Youzhou Wei share some of the pressure. "What's more important, however, even if there is no one left in a defeat, it is still King Ning's soldiers and horses, and Youzhou actually has nothing to lose. In addition to the silver, but the silver is now also from Wei Junmo.

King Yan nodded approvingly, and looked at his two sons with a little more stern gaze, "You are not too young, you still have to learn more." ”

"Yes, Father." The two hurriedly said.

Nian Yuan opened his mouth and said: "Lord Wang, Wei Gongzi's plan is wonderful. But there's one thing... Chenzhou has been in drought for two consecutive years, and the people are struggling to make a living. It is easy for Wei Gongzi to take Chenzhou, but I am afraid that after taking it, he will not be able to become the help of Gongzi but will become a burden. King Yan smiled and said: "Jun'er has discussed this matter with this king, and he knows it in his heart. I guess I won't disappoint this king. Even if it doesn't work, it's nothing. He and Flawless are still young, and there are many opportunities, so they should be practiced. Nian Yuan nodded, "Since the prince knows it in his heart, the little monk won't say anything more." ”

King Yan smiled: "Jun'er, let's ignore him, see what he can do." It's Youzhou's side that still has to bother the master. ”

Nian Yuan smiled respectfully: "The matter within the division, the prince is serious. ”

Xiao Qianchi and Xiao Qianwei were a little surprised when they heard this, Xiao Qianwei said: "What does my father mean... My cousin is in charge of my cousin's side, so shouldn't we send someone to help my cousin? ”

King Yan said indifferently: "This king gave him a million taels, and now Youzhou can only come up with so much money." Let him figure out the other things by himself, since he has decided to do this, he is naturally prepared, where can Youzhou still draw manpower now? ”

One million seems like a lot, but it is really a drop in the bucket for an army of more than 100,000. In particular, when these hundreds of thousands of troops are not their own, they must pay a monthly employment fee. Xiao Qianchi and Xiao Qianwei pondered for a long time, no matter how they thought about it, they still felt that even if they gave themselves two million, they would not be able to support this army. They didn't suspect that King Yan secretly gave Wei Junmo more money, they still knew what kind of temper their father was, let alone one million taels, even if he wanted to give three or five million taels, no one dared to say no. What's more, now that the financial situation of Youzhou, the two brothers are also clear, and it is not easy to draw out one million taels. After all, there are hundreds of thousands of Youzhou guards who are also waiting to eat.

Although I feel a little sad about my father's trust and importance to my cousin, I don't have much to say if I think about it if I change places.

"Bump!"

The man dressed in black silently lowered his head and looked at the wine glass that fell in front of him, and a gloomy voice of gnashing teeth sounded in his ears, "Wei, Jun, Mo!" ”

"The Pavilion Master is angry."

Gong Yuchen was dressed in black, even if he was hidden behind a hideous mask, it was impossible to ignore his anger at this time, "Anger?!" Gong Xiaodie's that waste! Why didn't she even know a little bit about such an important matter? unexpectedly let Wei Junmo run to Xizhou under his nose to borrow 150,000 troops. Hey... Good calculation, good intentions! This seat has always underestimated Wei Junmo. ”

Why didn't Wei Junmo want King Yan's soldiers and horses? He doesn't have the ability to convince King Yan's subordinates? Of course not. It's just that Wei Junmo sees it farther than others, and he doesn't want to interfere in the battle between the brothers of the Yanwang Mansion that may occur in the future. I don't want to involve myself in these, and King Yan's absolute trust is likely to make him agree

The trust is likely to make him face the hostility of the three Xiao brothers at the same time. Now Wei Junmo jumped out of the circle of Youzhou and borrowed 150,000 soldiers and horses by himself. And among them, what has to do with Youzhou is only one million taels. Others don't know, how could Gong Yuchen, who was cheated by Wei Junmo for most of the treasures of the Han King, not know? One million taels Wei Junmo didn't need to look at it at all, but he was afraid that accepting King Yan's money was just to give King Yan a face, and by the way, to reassure his uncle's heart.

Once Wei Junmo gained a firm foothold in Chenzhou... The situation in the future is really hard to say.

The man in black was helpless, Gong Xiaodie was weak and helpless when she first appeared in front of King Yan, how could King Yan tell her these things. Gong Xiaodie is now surrounded by masters, even if there is a master to teach and assist, it is impossible to progress so quickly, and he can inquire about things without a trace without being discovered by King Yan. In the face of a person like King Yan, there is only one way not to be discovered by him, and that is to do nothing. Moreover, didn't even the prince of Yan and Princess Yan know about this matter?

Gong Yuchen obviously knew that he was angry now, so he snorted lightly and didn't continue.

There was silence in the study for a long time before asking, "What is the news from King Ning?" ”

The man in black said: "King Ning seems to have made up his mind not to intervene in the war too early, but he is willing to lend troops to Wei Junmo, obviously he has more confidence in the Yan Wangfu." "King Ning doesn't seem to have much interest in the throne, so there is no need for him to rush into battle. Now whether it is King Yan or Xiao Qianye, they will not offend him. He can make himself invincible as long as he shows his attitude at the right time.

The sword eyebrows under Gong Yuchen's mask furrowed slightly, none of these vassal kings were stupid, and they were really stupid and couldn't be used at all. It's not that he hasn't sent someone to approach King Ning, but it's a pity that King Ning is a typical type of oil and water that doesn't enter, and if he doesn't say the right word, he may turn his face and kill people. The few fine works sent out, the dead and wounded, even if they were not dead or injured, they couldn't get close to King Ning at all. There is also the King Kang in Shuzhou, who seems to be unclear about the female aspect, and the backyard is in a mess. But it was a bite to death to want the son to succeed to the throne, which concubine dared to grab and fight, and immediately abandoned it. But that son... Not only does he have a good relationship with Wei Junmo, but he is also very afraid of Wei Junmo. When he heard that he was going to go against Wei Junmo, he immediately turned his face and drove people away.

Taking a deep breath, "How is Beiyuan doing over there?" ”

"The Northern Yuan Royal Court has settled down temporarily. However, last year's World War I damage was too severe. Neither the king of the Northern Yuan nor the nobles who held military power refused to march into Youzhou again. On the contrary... It is planned to transfer the Northern Yuan royal court to the northwest again. ”

"Rubbish!" Gong Yuchen said coldly, "If he hadn't listened to the advice of this seat, why would he have been defeated?" ”

The man in black said: "The king of the Northern Yuan wants to ask the pavilion master to go back." ”

Gong Yuchen sneered: "What are you going back for?" Do you want to go with them to the bitter cold to drink the wind? Send someone back to sue him, and if you don't listen to this seat, you will go and die. This seat doesn't care who is the king of the Northern Yuan. ”

"Yes, Pavilion Master."

Gong Yuchen seemed to be angry for a while, slowly leaned back in the chair, and casually played with the wine glass in his hand and said: "For the time being, neither Xizhou nor Youzhou has time to find trouble with Beiyuan, and those people in Wara don't care about it for the time being." Recuperation is all about recuperation. Wait until... The war in the Central Plains is over..."

The man in black nodded, "My subordinates understand." The Pavilion Master thinks... Yan Wang or Xiao Qianye, who has a better chance of winning? ”

Gong Yuchen raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Xiao Qianye? If it weren't for his fate, I don't know how many times he would have been killed. As for King Yan... Naturally, this seat has a way to deal with him. Do not worry. ”

"Yes, Pavilion Master."

In the Xizhou military camp, Nangong Mo sat on the roof and looked at the direction of the school field not far away. Wei Junmo was dressed in green clothes, and he was not wearing heavy armor like the soldiers around him, but standing in front of tens of thousands of soldiers in armor and armed weapons was still not weak.

Beside Wei Junmo, Lin Changfeng, Jian Qiuyang and the others were the soldiers and guards who followed him in the Youzhou army before they did it. Even Xue Bin and a few others, who were already preparing to set off to fight with the army, were thrown over by their own father. The name is beautiful: I followed Wei Gongzi from the beginning, and only Wei Gongzi can clean up this group of boys. Although Xue Bin was reluctant on his face, he was very happy in his heart. After all, although Wei Gongzi is a little colder and a little more ruthless, he has a much greater chance of following him to fight and make meritorious contributions.

Behind Nangong Mo, Qu Lianxing and Liu Han also sat on the roof left and right. Qu Lianxing's martial arts are still not available, but the last roof is not a problem. The only problem is the eldest prince of Qin, who found a ladder by himself and climbed up.

Qin Zixu looked at the school field in the distance, and his eyes were full of admiration, "I was always a little worried before, but I didn't expect that Wei Gongzi would be able to find another way." "Although I am optimistic about Wei Junmo, I am also worried. After all, Wei Junmo is just the nephew of King Yan, and without real power, no matter how much trust and liking he has, it is empty. Now Wei Junmo can jump out of Youzhou and start anew, even if it is hard at the beginning, the future achievements are expected.

Nangong Mo glanced back at him and said with a smile: "I'm a little surprised, Gongzi Qin will also come." "Originally, they didn't plan to let Qin Zixu come together, after all, there was still a Qin Xi who needed someone to take care of in Youzhou, and Qin Xi's body would never follow them around. But he didn't expect Qin Zixu to decisively entrust Qin Xi to Princess Changping and follow him directly.

Qin Zixu smiled kindly, "I originally came to seek refuge with Gongzi Wei and the Lord of Star City. Both of them have left Youzhou, what's the point of staying? ”

Nangong Mo looked at him, "It's not convenient to follow us in Youzhou." ”

Qin Zixu shrugged his shoulders and smiled lightly, obviously not caring about what Nangong Mo said.

"County Lord, the army will be mobilized in a few days. The situation in Chenzhou ......" Qu Lianxing was a little speechless and stopped, Qin Zixu also nodded and smiled: "Miss Qu is right, county lord." Now... Chenzhou is not a good place. "I don't know if that place in Chenzhou has been taken down in recent years

It's not that he was cursed, just because Zhang Dingfang raised an army and didn't settle down, it was a drought for two consecutive years. Xiao Qianye was busy competing with his uncles as soon as he ascended the throne, so naturally he didn't have time to pay attention to the people in these places. As a result, the current chaos in Chenzhou is even better than that of Lingzhou at the beginning. It's just that the people don't have the ability to come back a second time just after a battle. But if it goes any further, it may not be possible.

Nangong Mo also sighed, these days the news of Tianchen Prefecture and other places naturally reached their desks in a steady stream. It's a pity that none of the news I saw was something to be happy about, last year the people didn't harvest anything, and the situation in recent years has not been much better. Although the imperial court also ordered disaster relief, it had to requisition Youzhou, and there were layers of exploitation and deduction underneath, and there was not much left in the hands of the people. Once the army entered Chenzhou, what it wanted to solve was not how to advance westward, but how to pacify the local people.

"How's the preparation of what you've prepared?"

Qu Lianxing's expression was solemn, "Since the war between Youzhou and the imperial court, shops everywhere have been secretly raising grain and grass. These days, according to the orders of the county lord and the prince, a large amount of grain and grass has been secretly transported to the vicinity of Jinzhou. As long as the county lord gives an order, he will be able to enter the disaster area. But... Even if people everywhere are working at full strength, the grain and grass we have raised is less than 1.5 million stones, which is still a drop in the bucket. "It's impossible for anyone to support the victims of several state capitals on their own. Even the richest wealthy families can be dragged down. This kind of thing itself is a matter for the court and the government, and it is definitely not something that can be done by private individuals.

Nangong Mo didn't care much, and said with a faint smile: "Don't worry, it's enough to support a while." I don't believe it... There really isn't a single grain left in these places! ”

Qin Zixu raised his eyebrows, "Huh? County lord, are you trying to rob the rich and help the poor? There was no worry about the rich people who were about to be robbed in his words, as if he had completely forgotten that the Qin family also belonged to the rich family. Nangong Mo looked back and smiled: "Gongzi Qin is smiling, if it is for the rich and unkind... Naturally, it is going to be robbed. However, you forget, there are places where there is more food than those rich people. ”

It's true that rich and noble families are rich, but no one really saves hundreds of thousands of stone grains at home, right?

Qin Zixu's eyes flashed slightly, "The granary of the official mansion." ”

Nangong Mo smiled lightly, but Qu Lianxing's eyes lit up, "County Lord, my subordinates immediately asked people to find out the location and reserves of the granaries in various places. ”

Nangong Mo smiled lightly: "Be careful, don't show your deeds, and you'll fall short." ”

"Yes, County Lord!"

While the three of them were talking, Wei Junmo had obviously finished speaking, and was turning around and walking towards this side. Liu Han immediately got up, disappeared on the roof in a flash, Qu Lianxing covered his lips and smiled, and jumped off the roof. Abandoned by the two girls, the eldest prince of Qin had no choice but to sigh, arched his hand towards Nangong Mo and slowly climbed down the ladder.

"Flawless." Wei Gongzi jumped up and sat down beside Nangong Mo silently.

Nangong Mo looked up and smiled: "It's okay?" How about King Ning's Tai Ning Wei? ”

Wei Junmo sat down beside her and said lightly: "It's not bad, but it still needs to be adjusted." ”

Nangong Mo was clear, "Since they are elite soldiers and strong generals, they are naturally arrogant, if they can be convinced by it, it can only prove that Taining Wei's name is not true." What's more, they are still borrowed soldiers for money, and presumably those soldiers who were loaned out are also holding back the fire in their hearts.

Wei Junmo nodded, "This is Lin Changfeng's business." ”

Nangong Mo leaned on his shoulder and asked softly, "But when is it set to leave?" ”

"Three days later."

"So fast?" Nangong Mo was surprised, she thought that at least the two sides would have to run in for a few days.

Wei Junmo nodded, "Paper can't hold the fire, and Xiao Qianye should be prepared." Wei Junmo never expected that this news could really be hidden, what they needed at the beginning was to take Chenzhou and Jinzhou as quickly as possible before Xiao Qianye reacted. As for King Ning's side, as long as King Ning does not publicly support King Yan's Mansion, Xiao Qianye can only pretend to be stupid even if he knows. Sometimes, even if both parties know what they know, they are still willing to put on a fig leaf to deceive themselves.

Nangong Mo nodded, "Okay, I'll be ready too." ”

"It's been hard work." Wei Junmo said softly.

Nangong Mowaner smiled, "What are you talking about?" Isn't that what I'm supposed to do? I just don't know when I'll be able to go back to see Xiao Xiao and An An. ”

Wei Junmo wordlessly stretched out his hand to take her into his arms, and only after a long time did he whisper, "Soon." ”

In the distance, on the school field, the soldiers could see two people leaning together on the backlit roof. Although they couldn't see their faces clearly, the two figures close together seemed to be shrouded in a seven-colored halo by the sun. It is as if eternal life will never be separated.

------Off topic------

Anyway... Yesterday, it seems that a big coffee from the imperial court came to Wuyi Mountain to play... Inspection. The scenic spot was temporarily closed, and a man in the hostel climbed up from the back mountain to escape the ticket and didn't know about it, and was almost invited to tea by the police uncle~
