Chapter 21 The Wind and Rain Return to Peace

It was already the seventh day after Tao Chenmo woke up.

The first person he saw when he opened his eyes was Su Mu, who was sitting in front of the bed at this time, his eyes slightly closed, and his head was supported with his hands, presumably asleep.

Tao Chenmo didn't know how long he had been asleep, so the first thing he did when he woke up was to get up and move, but he didn't want to disturb Su Mu, so he decided to get up by himself, but his body was too weak, and he only lasted for a while and fell down, which woke Su Mu up.

Su Mu saw Tao Chenmo wake up, her eyes were red, and she quickly helped Tao Chenmo down and lay down, at this moment she was a little incoherent: "General Tao, you woke up, I thought I ......"

Tao Chenmo smiled and said, "I don't know if I can wake up, where is this?" What about General Cheng? How is Yunyang? ”

Su Mu wiped the tears on his face, broke into a smile, and said, "General, don't worry, General Cheng has recaptured Yunyang, and now we are in the General's Mansion." ”

Hearing this news, Tao Chenmo was a little speechless, before he fainted, he only vaguely remembered that someone came to the rescue, but he didn't expect that after waking up, it was all good news.

At this time, Su Mu suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "General, Su Mu didn't convey General Wei as you asked at that time, and I don't know what the consequences will be, please punish the general." ”

Tao Chenmo looked dazed and asked, "What does this mean, girl?" ”

He wanted to get up and help Su Mu up, but he was too weak to get up, Su Mu saw this and quickly got up to help Tao Chenmo, and when Tao Chenmo lay down, Su Mu explained: "You told me that day, if General Wei came back when you were still fighting with the enemy, you asked me to tell General Wei not to go to the rescue but to attack Tianying Pass, but at that time, the situation was urgent, and when I saw General Wei coming back to help, I asked him to save the general You, Su Mu did not accurately convey the military order, and I don't know what the consequences will be, so please punish the general." ”

Tao Chenmo couldn't help but wonder, it turned out that this was the case, he slowed down and asked, "Is General Cheng okay?" ”

"Alright."

"Has Yunyang City been returned to our hands?"

"Hmm."

"That's right, everything I did at that time was to how to keep General Cheng and how to preserve the combat power to wait for the recovery of Yunyang, and now it seems that these have not been done? So, there was nothing wrong with your decision at that time, so why should Miss Su blame herself? Tao Chenmo said softly.

Su Mu was relieved.

"By the way, what about Lady Pujia?"

"In the battle of Yunyang, we lost a lot of people, many soldiers died in battle, General Cheng Yanwu was one of them, in addition, General Cheng Jinshang, General Wei, the two generals Wang and his wife were all fine, but some injuries were made."

Speaking of Cheng Yanwu, Tao Chenmo couldn't help but feel extremely sad in his heart, thinking that at the beginning, it was Cheng Yanwu's protection and escort that allowed him to retreat in Yuzhou.

Tao Chenmo sighed, slowed down, and asked, "What about them?" ”

"Oh, you see, when I saw the general wake up, I forgot about it when I was so happy, you don't know, these days, everyone is worried about death, you wait a minute, I'll call them."

Hearing that Tao Chenmo finally woke up, everyone quickly gathered in the house, everyone asked word by word, plus Zeng Yingying, who shook his head, the scene was very warm. Su Mu hurriedly said: "Generals, don't worry, General Tao has just woken up, how can he answer so many questions at once, one by one." ”

When everyone heard this, they all laughed.

Tao Chenmo was puzzled, what was so funny about this.

Cheng Jinshang was very happy and said: "Alas, Chenmo, you don't know, you have been in a coma for a few days, this Miss Su is amazing, in the entire Yunyang City, except for Mrs. Pujia, no one else can enter your house, she won't let you in." ”

When Cheng Jinshang said this, Su Mu looked very embarrassed, and his decisive and resolute style a few days ago was instantly gone, and he hurriedly said, "Don't talk too long, I'll go get a few pairs of medicine first" and went out.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh again, but they felt that the little girl really couldn't say too much, so they all endured it.

Tao Chenmo looked around, Ren Pujia, Cheng Jinshang, Wei Wenzhong, Wang Liyang, Bian Xiangyu and others were all there. Cheng Jinshang explained that Wang Jinyi was sent to Yunzhou again, he patted Tao Chenmo's shoulder and said: "Brother Tao, you can wake up, I, Cheng Jinshang, am really unspeakably happy, you have been in a coma these days, I secretly swear in my heart, as long as I can wake you up, I am willing to surrender to the Dayuan Imperial Court, what kind of bullshit fame and fortune will make him hell." ”

Tao Chenmo said with a smile: "I have the general's love, the minister is terrified, since I have woken up, I naturally want to help the general to achieve another career, and the general does not have to surrender." ”

Everyone laughed, thinking about it, this Yunyang City is really back to the past.

From the mouths of the people, Tao Chenmo learned that there were really a lot of major events that had happened in the past few days.

When he was exhausted that day, Wei Wenzhong slapped his horse and killed, and the remaining soldiers brought out by Cheng Jinshang also rushed back, Bai Ling saw this, knowing that the morale was in the enemy and not in himself at the moment, although he was unwilling, he still decided to give up the attack first and retreat to the pass, Wei Wenzhong found Tao Chenmo from the pile of dead people, and hurriedly found Su Mu to rescue. Cheng Jinshang, who was chased in embarrassment in the deep mountains, finally survived.

After Bai Ling returned to the pass, he recuperated and recuperated, and did not go out of retreat, and tied Ren Pujia and the generals in the city and Cheng Jinshang's family to the gate tower to prevent Wei Wenzhong from sneaking attack.

Three days later, Dou Ming sent people to Yunzhou to lead Wang Liyang, Wang Jinyi back to aid Yunyang, Wang Jinyi is well versed in the art of war, and did not attack, but used the late night when the city defense of Yunyang was relaxed, specializing in the city wall that has not been repaired, Bai Ling wanted to save but was afraid that Wei Wenzhong would take the pass, only scored troops to rescue, this time came to Yunyang naturally Yang Mingzhen recruited soldiers from Tongping, these soldiers loved Ren Pujia very much, saw Ren Pujia and others suffering, they took advantage of the chaos to secretly save it, Ren Pujia immediately told Wei Wenzhong with a secret arrow, After Wei Wenzhong got the news, he began to storm the Heavenly Shadow Pass, and Bai Ling was attacked by the enemy on his back and stomach, and it was difficult to deal with it.

Trapped in Yunyang City, Tulan Gurou ordered a night attack on the city gate defenders, secretly opened the city gate, Wang Jinyi, Wang Liyang led the army to drive straight in, Yunyang City was the first to be breached, Wang Jinyi, Wang Liyang and then led troops to take the Tianying Pass, Bai Ling returned to the sky without skills, and finally was defeated and captured, Cheng Jinshang returned to Yunyang.

Dou Ming, the general commissar of Baiyangdu, sent people to Yunzhou to deliver the message, and secretly arranged for the soldiers to scuttle the boat, the former was his real plan, the latter just did his best, trying to cut off the retreat of the Qianjun army, on the other hand, Dou Ming secretly tried to find survivors among the corpses thrown out of Yunyang City, Ding Kangyang was one of them.

Therefore, Yunyang was able to return to Cheng Jinshang's hands, and Dou Ming actually contributed a lot.

He was afraid that Cheng Jinshang would take the opportunity to attack the city, so he tried his best to organize a defense, but the 100,000 army was buried by him, and there were few soldiers in Yuzhou City.

Seeing Wang Jinglan's defeat, Zhong Jie secretly complained in his heart, is this time going to fall into the hands of Cheng Jinshang, he was secretly anxious, suddenly heard the news of the Qianjun attacking Yunyang, and waited for two more days, and learned that Yunyang was broken, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart, Yunyang City was broken, and Cheng Jinshang's threat was lifted, but Bai Ling was even more of a madman, if he waved his army to attack, then he would die even worse.

In fact, what Wang Jinglan was worried about was not whether Yuzhou could be held, on the contrary, he was more worried about whether his head could be kept this time, first abandoned 100,000 soldiers in the north, and this time lost 100,000 in Yunyang, and he himself buried 200,000 soldiers in Dayuan with his own hands, which is undoubtedly worse for the stormy imperial court, thinking of this, I can't help but feel sad.

Cheng Jinshang regained Yunyang, Zhong Jie actually felt happy in his heart, after a big battle, Bai Ling was captured, Cheng Jinshang suffered heavy losses, and Yuzhou would naturally be safe and sound in a short time. At this time, Mr. Shadow An Yingdong also quietly came to Yuzhou, the purpose of his coming was very simple, instructing Zhong Jie to put Wang Jinglan under house arrest, obviously, An Yingdong brought the meaning of the Prime Minister's Mansion over, although Qin Yong favored Wang Jinglan, but this time, the emperor was furious, Qin Yong had to find someone to blame, except for Wang Jinglan, there was no more suitable candidate, in addition, he also asked Zhong Jie to organize the remaining soldiers in Yuzhou City to strengthen defense, of course, An Yingdong did not mean that Zhong Jie really wanted to defend Yuzhou, but to make a show to Qin Yong.

Yunyang's recent situation is very bad, but fortunately, it is lost and recovered, and the stone hanging in Nie Wuxiang's heart has also fallen, as long as Cheng Jinshang is still there, he has the opportunity to stir up the situation, and Wei Rong has news that Wei Wang Zuxu is seriously ill, and he needs to return to Wei Rong's court immediately to help the second son Zu Cunxiao compete for the throne, Cheng Jin is still fine, he can play a key move, and then dare to leave with confidence, it just so happens that Cheng Jinshang is recruiting talents and recruiting troops, so he instructed An Yingdong to go to Yuzhou to arrange tasks.

Cheng Jinshang suffered, and Lu Shoufu secretly rejoiced. Since Lu Wenting returned to Bozhou from Yunyang, Lu Shoufu has inquired about all the news about Yunyang in detail, and also asked Lu Wenting to report to him what he saw and understood in Yunyangxing.

After resting for two days, Tao Chenmo went to Cheng Yanwu's tomb to mourn in front of Su Mu and Ren Pujia accompanied by Su Mu and Ren Pujia, the loess is still fresh, the stele is cold, Tao Chenmo is very uncomfortable, the farthest distance in life is not thousands of mountains and rivers, but Yin and Yang are separated, the high-spirited, tenacious and meaningless general can only lie under the cold loess at this moment, and no matter how many people in front of the tomb say, it is difficult to describe the bitterness in his heart.

Seeing that Tao Chenmo was very sad, Su Mu and Ren Pujia persuaded him to leave, and Tao Chenmo could only leave with a long sigh.

On the way back, I happened to meet Cheng Jinshang.

"How's your recovery?" Cheng Jinshang asked with concern.

"I'm recovering well, but I can't go to military service yet." Su Mu hurriedly said.

Cheng Jinshang laughed and said: "Don't worry, girl, without your consent, I will never dare to arrange anything for General Tao." ”

Seeing Su Mu like this, Ren Pujia couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, just a few more days of cultivation." Tao Chenmo also smiled slightly.

"Miss Su, I really won't arrange anything for the minister to do today, I just want to say a few words to him, it's always okay, right?" Cheng Jinshang asked Su Mu helplessly.

Su Mutu felt a little hot again, and he didn't know what to say.

Tao Chenmo continued: "General, please speak." ”

"Yunyang suffered this catastrophe, I am responsible, if it weren't for my gullibility in Qianzhou's espionage, it wouldn't be like this, and then Yunyang City was broken, I didn't care about the consequences, I just wanted to avenge Yanwu, and I went deep alone, almost causing you to be poisoned, and even let tens of thousands of soldiers lose their lives in vain. Cheng Jinshang blamed himself.

"The general did not hesitate to raise troops for me, Yan Wu was killed, and the general returned thousands of miles to help, which shows that the general is righteous and cares for his soldiers, which is understandable, not to mention that Yunyang is still in our hands, leaving the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, the general does not have to blame himself too much." Tao Chenmo comforted.

"But this battle has caused more than half of the Yunyang soldiers to lose, and I really can't feel at ease in my heart."

"No one wants the soldiers to be killed, and the matter has come to this point, and the general's self-blame will only increase his troubles."

"Yang Mingzhen is really my couch hungry tiger, with him, Yunyang will not be at peace, this nail, I will pull him out sooner or later."

"The general is right, if you want to enter Tai'an in the north and reign in the world, the trouble of Qianzhou must be eliminated first, but the current situation is not the time."

"I'm here to talk to you about this."

"What are the general's plans?"

"After clearing the remnants of Bai Ling, I have issued a proclamation with Lord Bian to recruit the Magi to come south, and began to recruit soldiers, including the rebels and displaced people from all over the country, in addition, I have reorganized the remaining elites in Yunyang, and then slowly incorporated the new recruits into it to create 'Yunwei', and you will lead it after you are injured, alas, but ah, it is after you are injured." After speaking, Cheng Jinshang deliberately looked at Su Mu.

Ren Pujia smiled and said: "General Cheng should stop looking at my sister Su, even if she agrees to General Tao to bring the wounded and lead the troops, then I will not agree." ”

Cheng Jinshang shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, at this time, I will listen to you, you can come when you let General Tao come, this is always okay, right?" ”

Although Tao Chenmo felt funny, he was actually very warm in his heart, these days, Ren Pujia and Su Mu were busy taking care of him, and no one else was allowed to approach, even Wu Changqing, the head of internal affairs of his general's mansion, could only be turned away by them.

He smiled at Ren Pujia and Su Mu and said, "Don't worry, you two, I will definitely wait for my injuries to heal before going." ”

Ren Pujia and Su Mu looked at each other and smiled, and they stopped joking.

Cheng Jinshang continued: "Yang Mingzhen has been operating in Qianzhou for many years, if you want to pull out this nail, you must be fully prepared, this is my original intention to build the 'Yunwei', Jin Yi needs to sit in Pingtian, so the best candidate for the commander of the 'Yunwei' can only be you, you take good care of your injuries, and I will be responsible for the training of the troops. ”

Hearing that Cheng Jinshang intended to march south, Ren Pujia was naturally very moved, and she couldn't help asking: "Does the general really plan to send troops to recruit Yang Mingzhen?" ”

Cheng Jinshang said very resolutely: "There is one and two in everything, not to mention that Yang Mingzhen has attacked Yunyang twice, although he has suffered a lot both times, but with his ruthless style, he will only grit his teeth at Yunyang even more, and will not forget to retreat, instead of letting him take turns to attack, it is better for us to take the initiative to attack and let him taste the fists of my Yunyang soldiers." ”

Ren Pujia's thoughts suddenly surged, and it had been more than a year since she first arrived in Yunyang, and in this more than a year, although she was far away in a foreign land, she was always in the south, and she never dared to have the idea of forgetting half a minute.

Tao Chenmo saw Ren Pujia's thoughts, and comforted: "Madame, don't worry, although it will be later to go south to Qianzhou, it will definitely be possible, and Madame will naturally be our pioneer at that time." ”

"Madame is the secretary of Tongping Mansion, she knows more about Qianzhou than all of us here, to deal with Yang Mingzhen, Madame is the best candidate, and after taking Yang Mingzhen, Madame will guard Qianzhou for us, only in this way, I Yunyang will have no worries, and we can go north out of Yuzhou to seek the world." Cheng Jinshang said.

Hearing this, Ren Pujia suddenly recovered a little bit of the heroic spirit of the past campaign in Qianzhou, and said: "General rest assured, when the future takes shape, I will definitely keep Qianzhou safe and help the generals achieve great causes, but, in what name do we go south?" ”

"Since you are determined to send troops, it is not easy to find a name." Cheng Jinshang said with a smile.

"He Yang Mingzhen's two invasions of Yunyang have provided us with enough reasons to go south, not to mention, madam, you are the secretary of Tongping Mansion, and it is natural to send troops south and recapture their homeland." Tao Chenmo said slowly.

Of course, Ren Pujia was in a very wonderful mood at the moment, but between the last Yunyang Tribulation, she was still a little worried: "If we want to divide our troops to the south, it will inevitably weaken the Yunyang army, and what if the imperial court will take advantage of the situation again?" ”

"Wang Jinglan alone buried more than 200,000 troops of the imperial court, plus we fought with Ma Weibang in Yuzhou, the imperial court lost nearly 300,000 people in Beiqi and Yuzhou in the past few months, which is enough for them to breathe. Now, there are more than 200,000 border guards in the north, he Qin Yong does not dare to move, there are only tens of thousands of people in Liangzhou in the west, but he also has to guard against Wei Rong, Jingzhou Ran Mingli has 100,000 elites in his hands, but this is Qin Yong's hole card, he will not move this handsome flag for a small Yunyang, as for the garrison of Bozhou, it is not so much the imperial court as Lu Shoufu, so the only troops that the imperial court can mobilize are the 80,000 garrisons in Zhongzhou and the tens of thousands of Jinggi guards in Tai'an, Yuzhou is in the hands of Qin Yong, in a short time, He couldn't spare his hands to attack Yunyang. Tao Chen said in a 1510 analysis.

After listening to Tao Chenmo's analysis, Ren Pujia suddenly brightened, she couldn't imagine that although Tao Chenmo was in a coma for a few days, but the world form was already in her heart, she couldn't help but think about the scene when she first came to Yunyang to see Tao Chenmo, white-clothed Shengxue, calm and relaxed, and at this time, she inadvertently glanced at Su Mu again, her simple and kind sister was also looking at Tao Chenmo with an inexplicable joy and reverence in her eyes, Ren Pujia's heart couldn't help but feel a sour again, but these are the careful thoughts of their girls, except for themselves, no one will easily find out.

At this time, Cheng Jinshang laughed and said: "There will be Tao Chenmo, although there is only one city in Yunyang now, but there will be thousands of cities and thousands of households in the future." ”

Tao Chenmo shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The general Hugh wants to laugh at me, the general has already planned these things in his heart, and the minister just said what the general thinks in his heart, and he is ashamed." ”

"Everywhere, it's not an outsider, why be modest, haha." Cheng Jinshang was obviously very happy.

A few people returned to the General's Mansion as they spoke.

After more than a month of cultivation, Tao Chenmo's body has almost recovered, and now there are still many things to deal with in Yunyang, Tao Chenmo is impatient to get involved, but Su Mu always refuses to let him participate too much in military affairs on the grounds that his body has not yet recovered, Tao Chenmo has no choice but to do something simple, who made him just a patient at the moment.

And the thing to be solved now is how to deal with Bai Ling.

It stands to reason that Bai Ling's martial arts are superb and extremely strategic, and for Yun Yang, who is now extremely thirsty for talents, it is naturally the best to keep him for his own use.

But Cheng Jinshang was still a little hesitant, first, after this Bai Ling was captured, he refused to explain the specific defense of Qianzhou, thinking that he was still extremely loyal to Yang Mingzhen. Second, his love will become a word, I will die in his hands, if he has to be reused if he is left alive, Yunyang soldiers are afraid that they will not agree.

Of course, Tao Chenmo did not hesitate, his answer was very simple, do not stay.

"Why?"

"Let's not say that he killed General Cheng Yanwu, from the fact that after he broke through Yunyang, it can be seen that although this person has great talents, he is not a benevolent and righteous person, and the general wants to fight for the world, and he is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and people like Bai Ling can't use it." Tao Chenmo explained.

Tao Chenmo said it is not unreasonable, Bai Ling is indeed a good hand at fighting, but fighting for the world is not only to fight for the city, but also to fight for the hearts of the people, Bai Ling will do whatever it takes to win, and it will inevitably lead to many incidents in the future.

After the event, Tao Chenmo returned to the house to prepare to rest, and at this time Wu Changqing came to report that it was the lord of the northern abandoned county who asked to see him.

Entering the house, Tulan Gurou first looked at Tao Chenmo carefully, and then asked, "General Tao should have almost recovered, right?" ”

"It's no big deal, thank you for your concern."

"Let's just say goodbye, I'm here to say goodbye to you."

This was not Tao Chenmo's expectation, he thought that this Turan Gurou had come to persuade him to go north again.

"The county lord is going to return to the north and abandon it?"

"Otherwise, General Tao has already turned us away with an iron heart, I am a complete outsider here, seeing that Brother Wang is fighting everywhere in the north, and I am wasted in Yunyang, and I feel indebted."

"The kindness of the prince and the county lord, the end of the minister will never forget, the end of the minister is shallow in learning, and he is ashamed of the love of the prince and the county lord, and the generals of Yunyang also have great kindness to me, it is really difficult to abandon the north, the county lord went south thousands of miles for me, but I took the county lord's heart, and I felt guilty, and I hope that the county lord has a lot, and I want to blame the minister."

"Alas, there is no need to say these useless words, to be honest, at the beginning, it was only because Brother Wang praised you that I decided to go south to find out, day and night, I found that you are indeed an extraordinary person, so I decided to bring you back to the north to abandon, but the battle of Tianying Pass, you made me completely dead, you can not even want your life to save Cheng Jinshang, such a will, how can I bring you to Brother Wang."

"There are countless talents in the world, and the end of the minister is just a drop in the ocean, and I also ask the county lord to tell the prince, don't bother with me, thank the prince for his love, the wind and clouds will meet, and if we can meet in the future, we will drink and talk happily." After speaking, Tao Chenmo bowed deeply.

"Drink and talk? General Tao is not telling the truth, I know that you and I will definitely meet again in the future, but we are all going back and forth for this world, and I am afraid that when we meet again, we will only meet each other. ”

"The monarch is serious, the world is big, there are countless heroes, no one can say whether we can be the ultimate victors of each other, if we are downcast in the future, if we want to find a place to live, I hope the county lord will not dislike it."

"Sometimes, I wish you could have this day." When she said this, Tulan's soft tone had no resentment, no resentment, only a trace of helplessness and reluctance, these days, she couldn't tell what she felt about Tao Chenmo.

Tao Chenmo knew the meaning of Tulan Gurou's words, and he couldn't say what would happen in the future.

"Okay, what should be said, I also said it, General Tao, cherish." After speaking, Tulan smiled leisurely, and with her smile, the compelling momentum on her past body disappeared in an instant, leaving only a shallow gentleness and the natural charm of a woman.

Tao Chenmo bowed again and arched his hand: "The county lord takes care all the way." ”

Tulan Gurou didn't stay any longer, and as soon as she turned around, she resolutely left, looking at her departing figure, Tao Chenmo had to sigh deeply.

Hearing that Tulan Gurou and others were leaving, Cheng Jinshang, Ren Pujia, Ding Kangyang and others went to the city gate to see them off in person, which made Tulan Gurou a little flattered, in fact, it is not surprising, since she came to Yuzhou, Cheng Jinshang and others have treated her with courtesy and served as guests, not to mention the battle of Yunyang, Tulan Gurou secretly attacked the city gate, and made miraculous contributions for Wang Jinyi and Wang Liyang to break through Bai Ling, and had great grace to Yunyang.

Turan Gurou didn't say anything, but just jumped off the horse, hugged his fists and saluted everyone.

After the salute, Turan Gurou looked at Tao Chenmo, said softly, "It's a pity" and jumped on the horse and galloped away, and Turan Bobai and the others hurriedly chased after him.

A rough man like Tulan Bobai naturally couldn't see anything, only knew that their county lord ran all the way without the slightest intention of stopping, except for drinking water, food and lodging, and arrived in Yuzhou almost without a moment's delay.

Coming to the outside of Yuzhou, Tulan Gurou suddenly found that there were people attacking the city, and these people were none other than Yunyang's soldiers, but she knew very well that Yunyang did not have the energy to attack Yuzhou at this moment, and when she left, Yunyang's generals were all in the city, and she ran wildly all the way, these people would never be able to catch up with her itinerary, so she dared to conclude that it would never be Yunyang's soldiers who attacked Yuzhou. But before the battle, they had to rest outside the city first, and after about an hour, the besieging soldiers were defeated and scattered, and the soldiers in the city began to cheer, and soon the city gates were restored, which was really strange, and it did not look like a great war in any way. Turan was confused, but she didn't have much of the heart to figure it out now.

Naturally, Tulan Gurou would not know what was going on in Yuzhou City, because only An Yingdong and Zhong Jie knew about the whole thing.

According to the analysis, An Yingdong expected that Cheng Jinshang was busy cleaning up the mess of Yunyang at the moment, so he definitely had no intention of attacking Yuzhou again at the moment, but this Yuzhou City can't just have one assassin in charge, since Qin Yong has taken down Wang Jinglan, then he has to find a suitable Yunlu general for Qin Yong to defend this huge Yuzhou City, if he wants to be the general of Yuzhou, what if he doesn't have military merits? After thinking about it, I suddenly had a plan.

An Yingdong used all his forces in Yuzhou, recruited about 4,000 homeless people to mix with Yunyang soldiers, declared an army of 30,000, and began to attack Yuzhou, of course, just for show, and in the city, Zhong Jie came to the city under the instruction of An Yingdong to boost morale and urge the soldiers to fight, and the result was that as Tulan Gurou saw, Zhong Jie commanded well and repelled tens of thousands of invading soldiers in Yunyang, and the battle report was also reported to the Tai'an court.

Wang Jinglan was defeated by Yunyang, the emperor was furious, and the news that Zhong Jie was not afraid of the strong enemy to repel the rebels just gave Qin Yong a chance to breathe, coupled with An Yingdong's secret force, Zhong Jie unexpectedly became the general of Yunlu in Yuzhou, but it was a pity that Wang Jinglan fell from the clouds overnight and became a prisoner bird.

When the news spread, Lu Shoufu was confused, he never imagined that a prison captain would first become a state assassin. In his opinion, now the situation in Dayuan is no more delicate, and he should do something, so he recruited two sons and began to issue military orders, requiring Lu Wenting to continue recruiting and training troops, while Lu Wenzhao was the general adviser to recruit and prepare for grain and grass. As long as the opening is opened, strategists and talents will naturally pour in, and there will be no shortage of ghosts and ghosts, among them, there is a person named Jiao Lian Song who stepped into Lu Wenzhao's mansion with a relaxed heart.

Similarly, in Yunyang, Cheng Jinshang and others were also very puzzled, they never expected that this Zhong Jie would now become the Yunlu general of Yuzhou City, so it is not unreasonable to say that luck creates people, but they will not be entangled too much on this issue now, Qin Yong's style has always been like this, in order to be able to use his own people, any means can be used, the most important thing at the moment is to train the troops, and the people who are pouring from all directions need to be compiled as soon as possible, otherwise it will also be a big burden.

Today's abyss, there is no war, looking down at the court, the wind and waves are calm.

After half a year of rest, Cheng Jinshang once again consolidated his power in Yunyang, its strength grew rapidly to more than 150,000, he set 80,000 of them as "Yunwei", by Tao Chen as the last general, Wei Wenzhong, Wang Liyang as the left and right generals, after Tao Chen was restored, Cheng Jinshang handed over the command of Yunwei to him.

Compared with Yunyang, the geography of Bozhou is more unique, and it is one of the richest prefectures and counties in Dayuan, Lu Shoufu has grown much faster than Cheng Jinshang in a short period of time, under his secret cultivation, Bozhou's military strength has reached nearly 300,000, Qin Yong also knows that Lu Shoufu is out of control, but to what extent, he doesn't understand at all.

Cheng Jinshang also knew that this Lu Shoufu was not a pond fish in the city, but now he didn't have much energy to think about it, and when the cold winter passed, he would start attacking Qianzhou, and only by taking Qianzhou would he have the opportunity to go north to fight for the world.

And inside Snow Wolf City, it's a different scenery.

Since Yunyang's return, Tulan Gurou has been a little sullen, just at this time there is no war, she has nothing to do, this person will always be cranky once there is nothing to do, her mind always seems to unconsciously fly back to Yuzhou, fly back to Yunyang, once she has these thoughts, she will force herself to go out to the cold snow to hunt wolves, and do not let anyone follow.

Seeing that his own sister was like losing her soul after returning from Yunyang, Tulan Bingmu had to call Tulan Bobai over and over again to ask what happened after they arrived in Yuzhou, but this Tulan Bobai didn't know anything, and Tulan Bingmu had to be in a hurry, but he slowly found that as long as Tao Chenmo was mentioned, Gu Rou's eyes would always be accompanied by an infinite cycle of excitement and loss, and he seemed to understand something in his heart, but it was a pity that his stubborn sister didn't say anything, He had no choice but to knock on the side, or inquire or comfort. He himself has more important things to do, after completely exterminating Yuan Zhong's resistance forces, his opponent is only left with Nu Rou, what is more difficult to deal with is that because he attacked Yuan Zhong, Nu Rou took the opportunity to incite his troops to jointly resist him, and gathered more than 200,000 people to fight against him, but because of the current blizzard in the whole territory, the war has not broken out for the time being, so this northern border seems to be more peaceful, and his own Wang Mei has time to secretly grieve, although he doesn't understand the heart of his daughter's family, but he is not ignorant, and when the winter is over, the war is together, Presumably, she has slowly forgotten the current unhappiness.

Like Tulan Gurou, Ren Pujia's thoughts at the moment are also extremely complicated, on the one hand, she is happy, because it will not be long before she can go back to Qianzhou to find Yang Mingzhen for revenge, but on the other hand, she is reluctant or even sad, because she will eventually leave Yunyang and return to Qianzhou to take on the heavy responsibility that should not be borne by a woman, and more importantly, she knows that she is destined to be farther and farther away from Tao Chenmo.

On this day, spring is full of joy and the river is green.

Ren Pujia came to Su Mu's residence.

Seeing Ren Pujia, Su Mu always felt very affectionate, probably because he grew up alone, Ren Pujia's appearance was like meeting his own sister who had never met, and they always had endless words.

"Why is my sister here?"

"The weather is good today, so I went out for a walk and came to see my sister by the way."

"However, my sister seems to have something on her mind." Su Mu is a smart girl.

"I say, otherwise how can you be my good sister."

"What happened to my sister?"

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that the day of going south to Qianzhou is getting closer and closer, and I am always a little reluctant in my heart, maybe I have been in Yunyang for too long."

"When my sister returns to her homeland and the arrangements are made, she can come back at any time."

Ren Pujia smiled a little helplessly and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for the time being." ”

"Why did my sister say that?"

"Actually, I'm here to ask you for something."

"My sister commanded, why don't you please say it."

"Although General Tao is strong in martial arts, and there are many capable people around him, but on the battlefield, it is inevitable to bump and bump, sister, you have excellent medical skills, you must take care of General Tao more in the future, after I leave, you can tell General Tao about anything."

"Sister, what are you doing, don't say that General Tao can't take my turn to take care of it, I don't mean that my sister is not ready to go back to Yunyang?"

Ren Pujia took Su Mu's hand with both hands, pulled him to the table and sat down, and said meaningfully: "Although our Yunyang City is small, the generals in the city are all good men with the world in mind, General Cheng They want to enter Tai'an north and command the world, they must not have worries, you also know, Yang Mingzhen is also very ambitious, he sent troops to attack Yunyang several times, and almost killed General Tao lost his life, if he does not get rid of it, it will be difficult for the generals in the city to go north with peace of mind, this time to go south, even if he really kills Yang Mingzhen, But it doesn't mean that Qianzhou can enjoy peace forever, so I went back this time, not only to kill Yang Mingzhen, but also to guard Qianzhou for the generals, and to guard one side, I can't come back easily. ”

"But war is a man's business, besides, there are so many generals in the city, no one can defend Qianzhou?"

"Naturally, there is, but no one can understand the customs and tribal interests of Qianzhou better than me, it is easy to fight, and it is difficult to keep it, not to mention, Qianzhou is my home, and I have to go back after all."

"Then I can accompany my sister to Qianzhou, anyway, didn't I come to Yunyang from Yuzhou?"

"All the nonsense, when you really arrive in Qianzhou, I'm afraid that you won't be long before you think about coming back."

"......"

"Then let me ask you, if you leave, what will General Tao do if he is injured again? Are you relieved to let the military medical officer take care of him? ”

"I ......" Su Mu was obviously a little hesitant, not that the military medical officers were not as skilled as him, the most important thing was that she had Tao Chenmo in her heart, if she really left, if she thought about it in the future but couldn't see it, she would regret it in her heart.

"That's not to say that you can't come back, although Qianzhou is chaotic, there will always be a day when it will get better, and when the situation is stable in the future, my sister can come back." Su Mu said.

"Well, I promise you, I'll come back to see you as long as I can walk away."

"When the war is over, I can also come to Qianzhou to see you, and by the way, bring back some herbs that you can't see in Yuzhou."

"You see, it's really the benevolence of the doctor, and I can't forget the medical science and medicine at this time, by the way, there is another thing, this is going to Qianzhou, the success or failure is undecided, and the good uncle will also go with me, so I will leave Yingying in Yunyang, and you will help me take care of it more when you have time."

"Yingying, this child is sensible, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of her, and wait for your triumphant return in Yunyang."

After saying business, the two began to talk nonsense like all girls again. But in their hearts, both of them were also thinking about some things.

Ren Pujia naturally didn't finish speaking, she knew in her heart how she felt about Tao Chenmo, but she was a rational person who was almost crazy, she knew that she and Tao Chenmo would not have any results, she was a widower, and there were already some bad remarks in the world, Tao Chenmo was young and talented, she was incompatible with him, what she could do was the beauty of an adult.

And Su Mu is not stupid, she naturally has long seen Ren Pujia's feelings for Tao Chenmo, especially during the period when Tao Chenmo was in a coma, her every move, word and deed all revealed the kind of pity that surpassed that between friends, but Ren Pujia didn't say it, so she didn't ask.

Two days later, Cheng Jinshang suddenly summoned the generals and announced the southern expedition, and the main force of the southern expedition was Yunwei.

Before leaving, Cheng Jinshang did not say anything grandiose, but said firmly to Tao Chenmo: "You are solely responsible for the matter of entering Guizhou to conquer Yang Mingzhen, out of this city gate, where to fight, where to give up, when to fight, when to return, I will no longer care, no matter whether it is success or failure, I will wait for you to return in the city." With that, he drank all the spirits in the bowl.

Tao Chenmo knows what it means to be fully responsible, but if you want to do something that others can't do, you have to do what others dare not do, so you will drink, drink this bowl of wine, start from scratch about success or failure, lead the soldiers, Tao Chenmo also drank it all.

The oath ended quickly, and without staying too long, Tao Chenmo led Wang Liyang, Wei Wenzhong, Ren Pujia and others out of the city quickly. To Qianzhou, you can go down the clouds, and the more than 100 big ships brought by Bai Ling are just very useful.

When he left the city, Tao Chenmo announced to the whole army that he would go straight to Tongping.
