Of course, the courtiers of last year's banquet were not only those who had invitations, but all the officials who stayed in the imperial capital were eligible to participate in the annual banquet. And the person holding this invitation is the highest seat at the annual banquet. It's just that this invitation is not a favor, it's just a will that you can't refuse.

So, this time the Ye family received this post, it should be Emperor Jinde's meaning. What was Emperor Jinde's attitude towards Ye Qingyuan, Qin Mu was also puzzled about this. The vast majority of people in this world don't know the relationship between the Ye family and the royal family, but his father knew something by chance, although it is not exhaustive, but it can also be glimpsed.

The relationship between the Ye family and the royal family is like light to shadow, water to the boat, complementing each other and accompanying each other. But this time, Emperor Jinde first transferred Ye Qing far away, and then prepared to bring the Ye family's mother and daughter into the palace. These actions are only afraid of blessings and curses for the Ye family.

Thinking of this, Qin Mu suddenly put down the post in his hand, picked up the pen and wrote. After writing it, he handed it to Uncle Wei, and said with a solemn expression: "Send a letter to my father immediately, hurry up." ”

It was rare for Uncle Wei to see Qin Mu showing a cautious look, and he immediately knew the importance of the matter.

"Don't worry, master. The old slave immediately did it himself, and the old slave retired first. Qin Mu waved his hand, and when Uncle Wei went out, he dared to show a little affection.

He didn't know what Ye Qingyuan would do, but the dragon had reverse scales, and the Shen family mother and daughter were Ye Qingyuan's reverse scales. For the sake of their wives and children, the ancestors of the Ye family even said that they would give up the world. For the sake of the Shen family's mother and daughter, Ye Qingyuan may not really care about what will happen in this world.

Emperor Jinde grabbed Ye Qingyuan's lifeline this time, but how could Ye Qingyuan really put his lifeline there and let someone grasp it. He was sure that once Ye Qingyuan moved, the world would have to follow suit.

Thinking of the past three years, except for when he first arrived in Jinyang, he had visited Ye Qingyuan, and then he never had a chance, at most he occasionally met a few times in the palace. The man with a dusty temperament, although he had not really seen his methods, but subconsciously, he was in awe. Respect his talent, fear his resourcefulness. If Ye Qingyuan really made a move this time, it would be an opportunity for them in the northwest.

Qin Mu walked to the window and pushed it hard, the window was completely open, the north wind blew his hair, and his face hurt, but he smiled silently in the northwest direction, not caring at all about his face being blown more and more pale by the wind.

Northwest, the place where the expeditionary army was stationed

In a big tent, Ye Jincheng looked at Ye Qingyuan, who was standing in front of the map with his hands in his hand, and asked aloud. "Father, then Wu Chongguang has confessed, is it up to you to escort him back?"

After more than two years of living in the army, Ye Jincheng's figure has become stronger, and although his limbs exposed outside the armor are wrapped in clothes, he can still clearly see the texture of some muscles. Those muscles are not exaggerated bulges, but they lie quietly, but they can clearly feel the power in them. The face has changed a lot, the whole face is a lot more resolute, there is a faint half-finger-long scar at the corner of the eyebrows, and there is hair to cover, which can not be seen very clearly. The military life in the wind and sun has made Ye Jincheng's complexion tan to wheat color. The whole person is no longer as sharp as when he first arrived at the Ye family, that is because he has experienced the polishing of the war, and the sharpness has been hidden deep in his chest.

"No, someone will escort him back." Ye Qingyuan turned around and replied.

"Come to think of it, my father has been out for a long time, Jin'er must be looking forward to your return soon. If you take a few horses first, you will be able to return to Jinyang in half a month, and maybe you can catch up with the end of the year. Speaking of Ye Jinqing, Ye Jincheng's tone unconsciously became a little gentle. I haven't seen Jin'er for more than three years, and I think he will be able to see Jin'er soon, I don't know if I haven't seen Jin'er for three years, Jin'er has grown taller.

"Cheng'er, look at this map, what do you see?" Ye Qingyuan didn't answer when he would go back, but called Ye Jincheng to accompany him to see the map of the Great Yuan Kingdom. Although Ye Jincheng was a little confused, he still stepped forward and looked at the map carefully.

Recently, the army was stationed near the fiefdom of King Anping, because the soldiers thought that there would be a bitter battle ahead. The silver wolf in the hands of King Anping is notorious, and it is really an elite army with one enemy and one hundred.

Although there is still a gap with the legendary army named Traceless that accompanied Taizu to fight the world. But the traceless disappeared since the funeral of Taizu, and it has not been passed down from generation to generation with the emperor, just like this nameless name, future generations have never seen their traces. Yes, most of the achievements without a trace come from people's legends, and as the years go by, their achievements just stand there like monuments, but they are all dead things.

The silver wolf of Anping Wangfu is the Yi Di in the northwest who is terrified, not only the people in the northwest are in awe, but also under the narration of the merchants who come and go from the south to the north, this beast in the northwest makes many people frightened.

Ye Jincheng looked at the place where the army was stationed on the map, although it was very unlikely that King Anping would rebel first, but if the situation really developed, then at the beginning of the battle, the silver wolf would definitely go to the battlefield first. Every time the silver wolf is killed or injured, it is a trauma to the Anping Palace, and the Anping Mansion has fewer troops, and those who can enter the silver wolf are even more good at one in a thousand.

The imperial court can have a continuous replenishment of the army, but the Anping Wangfu definitely can't afford it. Only when the battle situation has just begun, while the imperial army's army has not yet gained a firm foothold in the northwest, can there be any hope of victory.

This time, the commander-in-chief, General Wang Yong, obviously also took this into account, and specially stationed the army on a hill that was not too high. The silver wolf is good at fighting on the flat ground, and if he and the silver wolf are lined up face to face on the plain and rush each other, it is tantamount to bringing the meat to someone's mouth.

It's not that General Wang Yong doesn't believe in the plain feelings of the soldiers under his command. But compared with the army that was often pulled to the grassland to train with the barbarians, there were a few people in this imperial army who really came over like this. Fighting a war is the norm for the silver wolf, it's life.

The army was stationed on the hills, and even if the silver wolf did come, it would be forced to lie down obediently and fight the battle in their way. In the defense of the city, the offensive and defensive battles, you can't just rely on bravery, but more on strategy. Although the generals of this court have been comfortable for so many years, they have not pulled down the study of the art of war.

Ye Jincheng looked around, and he was not conceited that he could see the flaws in General Wang Yong's layout. "Father, the child can't see that there is anything missing from this General Wang Yong."

Hearing this, Ye Qingyuan smiled, and was not disappointed when he heard such an answer, but sat down by himself, added a cup of tea to himself, took another empty cup, and refilled a cup of tea.

"Cheng'er, come, sit down."

After Ye Jincheng sat down, Ye Qingyuan looked at Ye Jincheng and said slowly: "What my father asked you to see on the map is not the war, but the emperor's thoughts. ”
