Prime Minister Zhu Anming said: "Could it be that Muzhou City was beaten down after Fang Tingshi asked for help?" ”

Dai Mu said coldly: "How is this possible, Muzhou City is not paper-paste?" ”

"Needless to say, this kind of betrayal of the country, naturally there is no need to show mercy, quasi-play." Qian Hongyu said with a gloomy face: "The question now is what to do in Muzhou?" ”

He Shao, the "commander of the internal government," asked the general, "How many troops are there that defeated you?" Who will the Lord be? ”

The general lowered his head and said, "The enemy army is only more than 2,000 people, and the main general is called Yu Xun." ”

"What? You lost to more than 2,000 troops? It's a bunch of rice buckets! Qian Hongyu was furious.

A civil official with a short beard at the bottom of the stairs said: "Your Majesty, the minister knows that Yu Xun is a person, he has been in the Yijin Army before!" ”

"What?" Qian Hongyu was even more angry: "Then why did he take refuge in Hui'an Mansion?" ”

The short-bearded civil official said: "A few years ago, he was a commander of the Yijin Army, and one of the generals at that time suspected him of colluding with the Tang State and was ready to take him, but this person led his troops to defect. ”

This short-bearded man's name is Yang Lian, he is an official of the Ministry of War, and he happens to be in charge of the affairs of the Yijin Army, so he knows Yu Xun.

Qian Hongyu was silent, it seems that this person is taking revenge on the events of the year, now that the Yijin Army is crippled, it was a few years ago, whether Yu Xun colluded with the Tang Army, it is estimated that it is difficult to investigate.

At this time, He Shaohong, the commander of the internal government, said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to lead the forbidden army of 50,000 to recapture Muzhou!" ”

"What if you lose again? Hui'an Mansion is now attached to the Tang State, as soon as our forbidden army comes out, the Tang army will have a move, who will fight against the Tang forbidden army at that time? Who will defend Hangzhou? Qian Hongyu said anxiously.

"What do you mean, your lordship?" Dai Mu asked.

Qian Hongyu said angrily: "What the widow wants to hear now is your opinion, don't you all have ideas on weekdays?" Now take one out of the widow? ”

An elderly official stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that the Hui'an Mansion has just defeated the Anhua Army of the Tang State, so the minister thinks that they have not been attached to the Tang State!" We might be able to send someone to talk to them. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Qian Hongyu asked Dai Mu.

"This ......" Dai Mu had cold sweat on his forehead, although he knew the news, but he was afraid that Qian Hongyu would blame him for attacking Hui'an Mansion, so he didn't say it.

"I asked you if there was such a thing?" Qian Hongyu said in a cold voice.

"Your Majesty, but there is such a thing." Dai Mu said in a low voice.

Qian Hongyu paced back and forth in front of the dragon chair for a few steps, and said coldly: "In other words, they did not belong to the Tang State, they only attacked Muzhou because they knew that we were going to fight them, right?" ”

"Your Majesty, this matter is very secret, and it should be impossible for them to know that we are going to do something to them." Dai Mu hurriedly said.

The rather old official said: "Your Majesty, when the minister heard that you sent Zhang Chun to Hui'an Mansion as a special envoy, Zhang Chun spoke disrespectfully, arrogantly and rudely to Lu Yuan, the envoy of the Hui'an army, and said that if they did not agree to our request, they would send troops to attack. ”

One of the officials hurriedly rushed out and said, "Your Excellency Mingjian, the minister never said that he would send troops!" ”

This official was Zhang Chun, who had been sent to Hui'an Mansion at the beginning, and if he had known that this was the result, he would not have dared to use that attitude when he was killed in Hui'an Mansion that day.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world.

Qian Hongyu said in a deep voice: "I said why Hui'an Mansion suddenly attacked our state and county, it turned out to be your reason, come and drag it down, and put it in prison." ”

He did not immediately deal with Dai Mu, who advocated attacking Hui'an Mansion, after all, he was the commander of the internal government army promoted by himself, and dealing with him would make him appear to be ignorant.

"The king spares his life, the king spares his life!" Zhang Chun screamed as he was dragged down.

"Although the root cause has been found, the problem has not been solved, you say, how to deal with this matter?" Qian Hongyu asked.

"Your Majesty, since it was a misunderstanding, it is better to send an envoy to explain to Hui'an Mansion, promise them some benefits, and let them return to Muzhou." Yang Lian suggested.

"Okay, since it's your opinion, I'll leave this matter to you."

"Obey." Yang Lian lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

He already knew that the king hated trouble and didn't trust the two masters for everything, so he also expected that this errand would fall on his head, but although this is a challenge, as long as it can be done well, it can also be transformed into an opportunity.

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to ask the monarch for a reward." Yang Lian's eyes burned.

"As long as you do this, the widow will never be stingy with rewards."

Yang Lian smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is not asking for a reward for himself, but for Yu Xun!" ”

"Oh? So you're sure you'll be able to bring him down? Qian Hongyu was pleasantly surprised.

"The king doesn't know, Yu Xun was originally a pirate, he was born with a backbone, betrayed me Wu Yuehou, successively worked in the Tang Kingdom, Qingyuan, and then to the current Hui'an Mansion, it can be said that there is no faith, as long as the chips given by the king are big enough, the minister is sure to persuade him to raise troops to join our country!"

"Good! Very good! Qian Hongyu was overjoyed and said: "As long as you can say to surrender him, I will make him the envoy of the Yijin Army!" ”

He Shaojin said: "Your Majesty, since this person is so untrustworthy, how can he be given a high position? I'm afraid that he will rebel again after holding a heavy army! ”

Qian Hongyu smiled and said, "When he comes, isn't it okay for the widow to dismiss him?" He killed so many soldiers of the widow, how could the widow really reuse him? ”

"Your Majesty!" The ministers said one after another.

Chizhou.

Lu Weiyi changed the original county palace into his own Jiedu Mansion, and now he is convening all the civil and military officials in the lobby to discuss major matters, and there are no less than 100 people standing or standing in the hall, but the hall of the county king's mansion is extremely open, and it is not crowded at all.

Lu Weiyi sat at the top, looked at the officials below, and said in a deep voice: "Now that the Fenghua army has arrived in Jiangbei, the 30,000 forbidden army is not far from Chizhou, and the Hui'an Mansion in the east also often enters to plunder the people of our state, the situation is grim, how do you think we should deal with it?" ”

Jia Wudao, the left commander of the Ning Guo Army: "Jie Shuai, the last general thinks that the Fenghua army is not to worry, and only needs to send 5,000 troops to Jiujiang Port to prevent the enemy from landing." ”

"Go on." Lu Weiyi bowed slightly.

"As for the 30,000 forbidden troops of the Tang Kingdom, I heard that the person in command is Li Jingda, the king of Qi, this person is not good at leading troops, and the commander can personally lead an army of 20,000 to break it."

"What about Hui'an Mansion?"

"The last general thinks that the Hui'an Mansion can only help, and it can't continue to conflict with it."

Lu Weiyi sighed secretly, the reason why he had the idea of fighting Hui'an Mansion, in addition to coveting the land of Hui'an Mansion, was also because when he fled from Jinling Mansion, he took a fancy to Li Ruozhen and Ma Kongming.

There is no shortage of elite soldiers under him, but this kind of top masters are extremely lacking, although they cannot directly affect the war, they are very useful in security, assassination and intelligence, which is why Li Jing reused the Aquila Gate and Wu Yueguo surrendered the Shadow Regiment.

Even Qingyuan had an assassination meeting, and Feng Yanting of Ningguo Mansion also had bamboo guards before, but unfortunately after the rebellion of Ning Guohou, they all fled.

Recently, although he has also recruited some strange people, among them, Li Muyi, the owner of the Hidden Sword Mountain Villa, is the strongest and is currently in charge of his safety.

However, he asked Li Muyi and learned that his martial arts were not even as good as Qi Zhen's, and he was extremely jealous of Lu Yuan in his heart, so he wanted to take Hui'an Mansion and seal Lu Yuan as an official and a half-post, and then his subordinates would naturally belong to themselves.

It's a pity that he still underestimated the other party, but he didn't expect that he also had a good general like Qin Quan under him, and there was also a Meng Xiao.

He had heard the news of the defeat of the Anhua army by the Hui'an army, and he also went to invite Meng Xiao back then, but he refused, he really couldn't figure out why Meng Xiao didn't want to follow him, and went to Hui'an Mansion.

Du Yu, the envoy who sent the Hui'an Mansion at the beginning, saw that Lu Weiyi did not speak for a long time, thinking that he was still thinking of attacking the Hui'an Mansion, so he echoed: "I think that the Hui'an Mansion can be beaten, because"

Before he finished speaking, he was coldly interrupted by Jia Wu: "You literati, you know that you have a bad idea, Hui'an Mansion has just defeated the Anhua Army, and Meng Xiao's kid is also in Hui'an Mansion, is it so easy to fight?" Shut the fuck! ”

Because he once saved Lu Weiyi on the battlefield, he has a special status in the Ningguo Army.

Du Yu was so robbed by him, his face turned pale, but he didn't dare to say anything to fight back.

"Brother Jia is right, there is really no need to conflict with Hui'an Mansion anymore!" Lu Weiyi clapped his head.

Du Yu's face was beaten, and resentment arose in his heart, and he felt that it would be impossible for him to stay in Ning Guojun any longer, and it seemed that he had to find another way out.

Originally, the best choice was to go to Hui'an Mansion, but he had offended the people over there before, and even if Lu Yuan accepted him, it was estimated that his officials would squeeze him out.

After thinking about it for a long time, Du Yu decided to take refuge in Qingyuan, he heard that he valued talents the most, and he had confidential information about Ning Guojun in his hands, and he believed that he would accept him.

In the lobby, Lu Weiyi didn't know that one of his subordinates had a different heart, and he was still discussing the matter of peace with the Hui'an Mansion.

At this moment, a personal soldier quickly entered the lobby and said something to Lu Weiyi, who suddenly bounced up from his chair and exclaimed, "Is the news true?" ”

"Absolutely." The pro-soldier nodded.

Jia Wu frowned and said, "Jie Shuai, what's wrong?" ”

Lu Weiyi slowly sat back in his chair, and after a while, he said: "The news just now came that the Hui'an army had defeated Muzhou, and also ambushed Wu Yueguo's reinforcements in Fuchunjiang, and the 50,000 Yijin army was almost wiped out!" ”
