In the city of Xianning

Wei Junmo leaned on the chair above the lobby and looked at the people below with an indifferent expression. Except for Qin Zixu, who was pulled by Lin Changfeng in the lobby, the expressions on everyone's faces were a little solemn. Tainingwei's previous battles were like a bamboo, and it was inevitable that there would be some blank sights. However, it was blocked by a small line of gorges, and several attempts to attack for nearly half a month were without success. This is obviously a big blow to these proud children. However, Wei Junmo, who was the commander-in-chief, still ignored it, and from time to time showed a look of "I'm waiting for you to break through the first-line gorge", which made the generals even more restless.

Wei Junmo looked at the group of henchmen and temporary subordinates with an indifferent expression, and said after a long time: "So... Is there no way you can do it? ”

Tainingwei's generals stiffened, but they couldn't speak for a long time. As if feeling Wei Junmo's contempt, a general led by him couldn't help but say: "We have no way, is it possible that Wei Gongzi has any way?" "For ordinary soldiers, they admire Wei Gongzi's prestige on the battlefield. But for them, the generals who led the troops, it was not so comfortable to be forced to obey the dictates of a young man. The most depressing thing is that this person was able to dispatch them not because of his military achievements, nor because of his high position, but because... He's rich!

If it weren't for the extreme loyalty to King Ning, I would have understood the reason why King Ning did this. This general was only afraid and eager to scold His Royal Highness King Ning severely.

The contradiction existed from the beginning, but everyone was still somewhat restrained at the beginning. However, after getting along with each other for a long time, coupled with the current unfavorable war, this contradiction will inevitably erupt.

Wei Junmo's expression was calm, and he asked lightly, "What if I have a way?" ”

The general didn't believe it at all, so many of them studied day and night and tried their best to find a way to break through the first-line gorge in a short time, did Wei Junmo have a few more heads than them? With a sneer, the general proudly said: "If General Wei Gongzi can capture the first line of the gorge, we will ......"

"How?"

The person who can command thousands of troops and horses is not stupid, and after a pause, he said: "Those people that Wei Gongzi sent to the army, the old man will try his best to teach." As for how much they can learn, it depends on their ability. "Do you really think they don't know what Wei Gongzi is trying to do by stuffing those rabble-ups into the army or scrambling them in? It's just that I take other people's money and eat other people's food and am embarrassed to refuse. If their minds are worse, these people only need one or two battles to be able to reimburse them all.

Of course, what they don't know, they should be glad they don't have bad intentions. Otherwise, if it wasn't seen by Wei Junmo, it would be fine, but if it was seen, the future waiting for them would definitely become exciting, and even His Royal Highness King Ning wouldn't be able to save them.

Wei Junmo pondered for a moment, and then nodded slightly: "A word is a certainty." ”

He agreed so simply, but it made people feel a little stunned. Could it be that Cheng Wei Gongzi really has a way? But... Several generals looked at each other a few times, and they all shook their heads secretly in their hearts, they couldn't think of how to break through the first line of the gorge. Since Wei Gongzi is so confident, it's up to him, right? If Wei Gongzi really has a way and succeeds, they can be regarded as having a long experience.

After sending off a group of Taining Wei generals, Lin Changfeng smiled and said: "I said Wei Gongzi, if the cowhide is blown up, it will break." When are you going to attack the First Line Gorge? ”

Wei Gongzi glanced at him lightly, "Lin Changfeng, use your brain more and use your limbs less." ”

Qin Zixu smiled curiously: "Wei Gongzi really has a way?" Wei Junmo is so calm and composed, obviously it is impossible to deceive those generals. What's more, this kind of thing is not good for anyone, and lying about it is not good for anyone.

Wei Junmo nodded slightly and said, "Whether it can be done or not, we have to see again." ”

"Qiyu Gongzi, there is a Nangong Gongzi who is asking to see him outside the door." The guard came in and bowed respectfully. Lin Changfeng was stunned, "Nangong Hui? What else is he running around at this time? Are you afraid that Shang Rong will not die fast enough? ”

Qin Zixu raised his eyebrows, "Is it good for us that Shang Rong is dead, or is it... Wei Gongzi plans to subdue Shang Rong? "Shang Rong is indeed a good general. After thinking about it, he said: "The county lord should not let the second son of Nangong leave Chenzhou now, so he came... It should be the eldest prince of Nangong. ”

"Nangong Xu?" Lin Changfeng raised his eyebrows.

Wei Junmo frowned slightly and looked at Qin Zixu, "Did you forget to tell me something?" How did Nangong Xu come to Xianning? Qin Zixu didn't apologize, and said with a light smile: "I am busy these days, but my subordinates have forgotten, a few days ago, my subordinates also discussed with the county lord, the second son of His Royal Highness King Yan entered the army, and he was in the same military camp as Nangong Gongzi, and his subordinates guessed that Nangong Gongzi should leave Youzhou in a few days, but I didn't expect it to be so fast." ”

Wei Junmo has been busy with military affairs these days, and he really rarely pays attention to the affairs of Youzhou, except for King Yan's handwritten letter or particularly important things, any news in Youzhou is also sent to Chenzhou. If there is anything that Wei Junmo needs to know immediately, Nangong Mo will send someone to the army. Youzhou is far away from Xianning, and the news of Nangong Xu's departure has obviously not been sent yet.

With a light snort, Wei Junmo said, "Let him in." ”

Qin Zixu glanced at Wei Junmo a little strangely, he also knew that the relationship between the Lord of Star City and the people of the Nangong family was not very good. But now that the relationship between Nangong Xu and the county lord of Xingcheng has eased, and he doesn't seem to be completely emotionless for Nangong Hui, the second brother, why does Wei Gongzi still look like Nangong Xu is very disliked? Could it be because of the grievances suffered by the county lord of Xingcheng in the Nangong family?

Nangong Xu followed the guards in, and saw that the three people in the lobby were staring at him directly. It's just that the meaning in the eyes of the three people is different. Nangong Xu didn't care, just lightly arched his hand towards Wei Junmo, but nodded at Qin Zixu and Lin Changfeng, "Brother Qin, Gongzi Changfeng, don't come to harm." ”

Qin Zixu nodded and smiled: "Brother Nangong, don't come."

smiled: "Brother Nangong, don't come unharmed." ”

Qin Zixu and Nangong Xu have been out of the same Jinling Imperial City for more than 20 years, even if the Qin family and the Chu State Mansion have not had much contact, they are much more familiar than Wei Junmo and Lin Changfeng.

Wei Junmo raised his eyes and looked at Nangong Xu, and said, "Why are you here?" ”

Nangong Xu gently tugged at the corner of his lower lip and said, "I'm not coming, how does Wei Gongzi plan to calculate Hui'er?" ”

Wei Gongzi was silent. Changfeng Gongzi and Qin Dagongzi looked at the silent Wei Gongzi together, and if they didn't refute, they acquiesced. Even if you don't have a close relationship with Nangong Hui, it's your brother-in-law, right? Do you need to be so frustrated? Wei Gongzi glanced at Lin Changfeng, who wanted to speak, and said indifferently: "How does this Gongzi act, I don't need Nangong Gongzi to do much trouble." "Do you really think you're a flawless brother?

Nangong Xu was not angry, but said lightly: "Do you want to separate Wei Hongfei and Shang Rong?" ”

Wei Junmo raised his eyebrows and was silent, and Nangong Xu continued: "I can help you, but you can't use Hui'er and the couple. ”

Wei Junmo said: "I have my own sense of proportion in my heart. ”

"You're afraid of capsizing in the gutter?" Nangong Xu said: "Do you dare to take care that Wei Hongfei will not kill Shang Rong?" If Shang Rong dies... Yes, what does Shang Rong's death have to do with you? You can achieve the same goal. ”

Wei Junmo's purple eyes sank, and he said coldly: "I promised to be flawless, and I will never move business." Nangong Xu, Nangong Hui is already an adult, don't be like an old mother who has to be busy all day long. Nangong Xu's face changed slightly, and he was silent for a long time before he took a deep breath and said, "What do you want to do?" ”

Wei Junmo looked at him indifferently and said, "Didn't you already guess it?" ”

Discord is a strategy that will never be eliminated since ancient times. As long as there is a human heart, the discord meter will never fail.

In the Imperial City of Jinling, Xiao Qianye had just received an excerpt from the Ezhou Zhizhou Express Horse. The envoy sent to deliver the decree and take Nangong Hui and Shang Nian'er back to Beijing was killed by bandits nearly a hundred miles away from Ezhou City. The whole army was wiped out, and not a single living mouth was left.

Hearing the news, Xiao Qianye did not get angry as the people below thought, but just kept a calm face and did not speak for a long time. In fact, after more than two years of ascending the throne and becoming emperor, Xiao Qianye's temper has been much calmer than when he first ascended the throne, but since King Yan raised his army, there has been too much bad news and too little good news, so he seems to be irritable and irritable.

There was silence in the imperial study for a long time, and then I heard Xiao Qianye ask in a deep voice: "Encounter a bandit, and the whole army will be wiped out." Mr. Zhou, do you believe it? ”

Your Highness, Zhou Xiang sighed slightly and said, "Back to Your Majesty, there is no evidence... What if we don't believe it? Now, if you ask Shang Rong for this, you may fall for the other party's strategy. However, if it didn't happen, no one can guarantee that Shang Rong can still be relied on now.

Xiao Qianye obviously understood this truth, but the balance in his heart was already tilted in favor of not believing in Shang Rong's direction at all. Even he had to suspect that this was a play directed and acted by Shang Rong. So, Shang Rong refused to let his daughter and son-in-law get into the essence, and even directed such a play, does it mean that he has long been rebellious?

Xiao Qianye knew that his current thoughts were a little dangerous, his imperial grandfather was a suspicious and cold-blooded emperor, but even so, his imperial grandfather had once told him about the dangerous nature of suspicion between monarchs and ministers. However, he couldn't control himself from doubting Shang Rong, even if Shang Rong was a loyal courtier when the emperor's grandfather was alive. Being loyal to the emperor's grandfather does not necessarily mean being loyal to him. What's more, people will become, and the emperor's grandfather may not be able to see all people.

A little bored, he put this fold aside first, and Xiao Qianye asked: "Wei Junmo is now blocked in the first-line gorge, and there are not many soldiers and horses in his hands. Can we send troops from the other side to attack Xianning with the Ezhou Guard? ”

Zhou Xiang shook his head, "Your Majesty, don't forget, the war in Youzhou is not optimistic now." Wei Junmo still has those places in Yuezhou as a drag, and his road can't go far. Compared to Wei Junmo... King Yan is His Majesty's henchman. ”

Xiao Qianye groaned, intellectually he knew that King Yan was his great enemy, but in his heart, he was actually more wary of Wei Junmo than King Yan. Maybe... It's just because of the birth date of that birth.

Rubbing his eyebrows a little tiredly, Xiao Qianye said, "Has the charter for this year's conscription come down?" ”

Next to him, Han Min presented an excerpt and said, "Back to Your Majesty, it's already done." As long as His Majesty sees it and feels that it is appropriate to leave, it can be announced that it will be implemented in the world. Xiao Qianye took the fold from the hand of the chamberlain, flipped through it, and said with his eyebrows: "Two million conscripts?" Isn't that a bit too much? ”

These two million were not recruited from military households, which were already members of the imperial court, but from ordinary people. Two million soldiers and horses are almost equivalent to draining nearly one-fifth of the strong labor of the imperial court. I am afraid that the impact on next year's cultivation will not be small.

Han Min said: "Your Majesty, the war is urgent now. As Lord Zhou said, the war on both sides is not optimistic, and the remaining vassal kings are afraid that they are also ready to move. If we let King Yan and Wei Junmo take a few more places, I'm afraid that it will be too late for us to recruit soldiers. ”

Xiao Qianye looked at Zhou Xiang, Zhou Xiang sighed and had to say: "What Lord Han said is very true, but... Is the number of people reduced by another one? There should also be hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses drawn from the imperial court's military households. "It's just that these people may be a little younger. If he had been of the right age, he would have enlisted in the army a long time ago.

Han Min flatly refused, "No." Your Majesty, King Yan and Wei Junmo are also recruiting troops, and now the soldiers and horses in the Yan Wangfu are not as good as the imperial court, but in time, I am afraid that it will not be too much worse. ”

Zhou Xiang frowned, somewhat disagreeing with Han Min's opinion. No matter how anxious you are, you can't let the court break your bones, this battle will make a protracted war at a glance. Now that the country's vigorous labor has been finished at the beginning, how will the rest of the days be lived?

The two debated back and forth in front of Xiao Qianye. In the past, when Xiao Qianye had not yet ascended the throne, the two of them were also taken first

All of them were suppressed by the emperor, and the relationship was good. There is a feeling that the end of the world has fallen into the world. But after Xiao Qianye ascended the throne, both of them held heavy power, and gradually began to have some differences. Over time, the relationship has become more and more discordant. It's not the first time that he has blushed and his neck is thick in front of Xiao Qianye.

Xiao Qianye only felt that his head was more transparent when he stood up to the quarrel between the two, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Enough!" ”

Both of them were stunned, and quickly reacted and hurriedly pleaded guilty.

Xiao Qianye waved his hand and said tiredly: "Listen to Mr. Han on this matter." ”

"However, Your Majesty ......" Zhou Xiang wanted to say something, but Han Min had already said loudly: "Weichen obeyed the order, thank you Majesty." ”

Xiao Qianye nodded and said, "I know Mr. Zhou's concerns, but... Mr. Han is also measured. And now we are really short of soldiers and horses. Obviously, Xiao Qianye had made up his mind, and Zhou Xiang had to sigh secretly and arch his hand: "Weichen obeys the order." ”

Xiao Qianye said: "There is nothing else, the two gentlemen will go back first." ”

Knowing that Xiao Qianye was tired, the two also got up and retired. Zhou Xiang walked to the door and couldn't help but glance back at the young emperor who was high on the dragon chair in the hall, and a trace of inexplicable expression flashed on his face. Although he watched Xiao Qianye grow up since he was a child, and although he was suppressed by the first emperor for half his life, Zhou Xiang also had to admit that compared with his grandfather, Xiao Qianye's ability as an emperor was really too far behind. Xiao Qianye is not diligent in government, nor does he not want to be an emperor so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Except for the natural faint king, there is probably no emperor who wants to make a name for himself and only cares about his own pleasure. However, sometimes the gap in ability cannot be filled by hard work.

It has been almost three years since he succeeded to the throne, and Xiao Qianye corrected the excerpts every night until late at night. In the past, there were some rumors that the nobles in the capital were unclear, but after ascending the throne, they looked down on women, except for the queen mother to visit the queen and prince, and rarely set foot in the harem. It's just that the harder he tried, the more Zhou Xiang couldn't help but want to sigh. If it's really an unmotivated faint gentleman, it's okay to scold it. But Xiao Qianye is neither mediocre nor lazy, he just doesn't fit for this position.

"Brother Zhou, what are you thinking?" Han Min looked at him with a strange expression and asked.

Zhou Xiang glanced at Han Min, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, Brother Han... It is inevitable that you will be anxious when you encounter today's situation, but you and I must be stable. ”

Han Min knew that what he said was about Fang Cai's conscription order, and said disapprovingly: "Brother Zhou is right, but sometimes you don't have to be too timid. Yan Wang and Wei Jun Mo just controlled a small place, could it be that Zhou Xiang thought they could really turn the world upside down? ”

Zhou Xiang raised his eyes and glanced at the somewhat gloomy sky, and said in a low voice: "This kind of thing... Who can say for sure? ”

Han Min didn't know his words very well, and he didn't care, he just arched his hand and said, "The old man still has important matters, so I'll leave first." ”

Watching Han Min brush his sleeves away, Zhou Xiangliang was silent for a long time.

"Lord Zhou." Behind him, an attendant chased after him, and Zhou Xiang asked, "What else does Your Majesty have to order?" ”

The waiter said: "Back to my lord, Your Majesty said that it is better to change a deputy to the king of Jingjiang County." Please ask Lord Zhou and all the ministers to discuss first, and choose which general is more suitable to replace. ”

Zhou Xiang was silent.

"Lord Zhou?"

"I see, go ahead." Zhou Xiangdao.

"Yes, the slave and maid are gone."
