Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Smoke of the Wolf Rises

Nie Wuxiang came to Tai'an again as the prime minister of Wei Rong, as always, he entered the palace with a rich congratulatory gift to congratulate the emperor and the crown prince, and said that if Dayuan trusted, Wei Rong was willing to borrow troops to help. For Wei Rong's attitude, Song Ji and Qin Yong were very satisfied, in the face of rumors, this was undoubtedly the best reassurance for them, at least they didn't have to worry about Wei Rong taking the opportunity to make trouble, appeased Emperor Dayuan, and Nie Wuxiang visited the concubine Qi Ningyu again.

Compared to the previous meeting, this time it was a lot easier for them, the last time Nie Wuxiang came to prevent Dayuan from sending troops to defend and disrupt their plans, but this time he came to completely blind the Dayuan Imperial Court and let them relax and fight, and their plans were developing step by step according to their expectations. The two have not seen each other for more than a year, and they hug each other again, which is naturally indispensable.

After the clouds and rain, the two returned to calm.

"Now that Yuzhou has fallen into the hands of Cheng Jinshang, and King Jin'an has become the crown prince, it can be said that all this is exactly the same as our previous plan, I don't know when the senior brother plans to act?"

"Don't worry, the situation in front of us is very favorable to us, the king of Jin'an was made the crown prince, the king of Changning was exiled in Bozhou, Lu Shoufu is about to make a big fuss, the court and Bozhou will inevitably clash with each other, plus the north abandons the troops and horses in the north of the abyss, we might as well wait, the more they consume, the better it will be for us."

"Then listen to Senior Brother, besides, the current situation is as we want, so how should the ministries act next?"

"Senior sister continues to use the relationship with the queen to probe more about King Jin'an's tone, and he will definitely know some of Qin Yong's plans, as for how the other ministries will act, I will make arrangements when I go out of the palace to meet the people who walk the horses, and in addition, when I return to Weirong this time, I will send the blood bats over."

"Senior brother is going to move the Ling Sword?"

"This is also Ling Jiantang's own meaning, now that the various ministries are active, the junior sister is in the palace, and the danger is less than that of others, but the other people in the Wind Control Department will have more and more things to do, and the danger of the Wind Control Envoy will naturally increase, so it is indeed necessary to let the blood bats come to the Central Plains."

"With the protection of the Ling Sword Hall Master, it should be fine."

"There are many things, it is not appropriate for the Ling Jian Hall Master to come forward in person, for now, his only task is to protect the safety of the Wind Resistant, and the rest of the things will be done by the Blood Bat, so each performing its own duties will be more helpful to the advancement of our plan."

"But ......"

"Senior sister, don't worry, I will let the master of the Horse Hall An send a message to Ling Jian, it is not very necessary, I will not easily let the blood bats move, at the moment, we should not clash head-on with Guiyi City."

"That's fine."

After meeting Qi Ningyu, Nie Wuxiang immediately summoned An Yingdong, first, to explain that he continued to operate in the Prime Minister's Mansion and keep an eye on Qin Yong's every move, and secondly, asked him to send a message to Yufeng Hall, the blood bat would soon reach the territory of Dayuan, but it should not be used lightly unless it was absolutely necessary. An Yingdong knew that once the blood bat was used, it would indicate that their plan had begun to enter another stage, so he didn't dare to slack off at all, and after coming down, he passed on Nie Wuxiang's explanation in time.

At this moment, Cheng Jinshang is in a very good mood, first, because of the prince's affairs, Bozhou is a strong soldier, and the imperial court has no time to care about what he did in Yuzhou, and secondly, after re-entering Yuzhou, more people with lofty ideals have been invested in his account one after another, and the soldiers are naturally more and more, and he has fully possessed the strength to dominate one side. And one of these two people helped him subdue Chen Zhengang, and the other helped him bring back Li Xiu and Ji Heqing, plus Wei Wenzhong, Wang Liyang, Ding Kangyang and other capable generals, Cheng Jinshang himself almost didn't have to ask about any specific affairs, just sit in the palace and coordinate, the most important thing is that he is very relieved about these people, and he has always been his style.

In addition, the palace recently received a good news, Wu Changqing sent Zeng Yingying back to Qianzhou and brought back the news of Ren Pujia, Ren Pujia has completely controlled Qianzhou, and rebuilt the Qianzhou army on the basis of the original Tongping main force, so she sent the original 30,000 Yunwei left by Tao Chenmo to him back to Yunyang, and he will arrive in Yuzhou in a few days. Hearing these news, Cheng Jinshang was even more happy, now in the south of the Great Abyss, there will be no one to compete with it, but Tao Chenmo finally suggested that after Ren Pujia recruited troops, he could be sent directly to Yinzhou to assist Wang Jinyi, Li Xiu, and Ji Heqing to defend Yinzhou, in Yinzhou, their direct opponent was the Bozhou Lu clan, so at least they had to maintain the advantage in soldiers, and Cheng Jinshang naturally agreed with Tao Chenmo's suggestion.

Between what Su Mu said last time, Tao Chenmo has paid a lot of attention to this Nie Qingyun recently, and he found that this Nie Qingyun is indeed almost inseparable from Qu Hongsleeve's side, and the whole person is always more vigilant, but in addition, he is respectful, polite, and there is nothing abnormal, after a few observations, Tao Chenmo also seems to understand a little, after all, this Qu Hongsleeve has just come out of the mountain, and a woman's body, she looks very good-looking, and there is nothing strange about an alert guard by her side, slowly, I no longer feel strange about this matter.

That day, he also discussed this Nie Qingyun with Lianchengzong, Lianchengzong felt the same as him, this person always seemed to be a little alert and sharp, but in addition to guarding Qu Hongsleeve, there was nothing else that made people uneasy, speaking of which, Lianchengzong also praised that in addition to Qu Hongsleeve, several other entourages were also powerful people, such as Yuan Shang, who was good at arithmetic, and some of the army's income and expenditure were taken care of very smoothly, and there was a person named Cao Huan, who had good martial arts, This Qu Hongsleeve did not rely on his own connections to arrange a military position for him, but let him start as an infantryman, and was arranged to go to Yinzhou as soon as he arrived in Yuzhou. In this way, Tao Chenmo felt that he was a little bit of a villain's belly, and after thinking about it, some of his previous doubts were also stopped.

Compared with the secret competition between the forces in the south, Tulan Bingmu in the far north is much easier, and the forces in the north are completely subdued by him, and the living forces are all used by him, and it just so happens that Qin Yong in order to protect the crown prince to sit firmly in the East Palace, he has successively deployed his cronies and related military forces in Zhongzhou, the purpose is naturally to prevent the landing of Shoufu and Cheng Jinshang, Tulan Bingmu has known the main weakness of the Dayuan garrison after the last temptation, that is, the war horses are weak and the transfer of troops is slow, Turan Gurou went around in a circle in Dayuan Tongzhou, and the Yuan army has never been able to effectively intercept, so his current strategy is very simple, that is, to give full play to the advantages of the North Abandonment Cavalry, mobilize Dayuan, and then seek an opportunity to attack the weak place, he originally intended to continue to go south from Molan Pass this time, and he would not expect to repeat the old trick of North Abandonment when he came to this Dayuan to kill, but Qiu Xinzhi did not think so, he suggested that the main force of North Abandonment move to Molan Pass, make it look like he wanted to attack Molan Pass, and mobilize the Dayuan border defense to concentrate on Molan Pass, Then it was diverted to the Chuzhou border and went south from Chuzhou Jingcheng.

Tulan Bingmu quickly accepted this suggestion, this Qiu Xinzhi deserved to be a ghost, coupled with his understanding of Dayuan and Qin Yong, the map of the world had long been clear in his heart.

According to Qiu Xinzhi's suggestion, their purpose this time is no longer to grab military funds and test the military situation, but to capture the city and garrison the army, so as to be included in the territory of the North Abandonment, and prepare for the future entry into the Central Plains.

The 200,000 troops of the North Abandon quickly approached Tongzhou, the border towns of Tongzhou changed their colors, and the military situation was urgent to fly to Tai'an like snowflakes, if the army was marching and fighting, Qin Yong was really not transparent, and in desperation, he had to convene the important members of the military department to discuss this matter, and at the same time called Ran Mingli to go, most of the officials of the military department thought that Tulan Bingmu would repeat the old trick and concentrate his forces to attack Molan Pass, and a few people thought that there were many border towns, and the last time the North abandoned people also lost a lot of troops in Molan Pass, so this time they may go south from other passes, and there are different opinions for a while, it is difficult to become an opinion. The situation is indeed complicated, Tongzhou is connected to the North Abandonment, there are dozens of border passes, Turan Bingmu can pick one is enough for Dayuan to eat, at this time, Ran Mingli stood up, he thought that the battlefield was changing rapidly, far away in the imperial city of Tai'an, it was impossible to eat the thoughts of the people who abandoned the north, so he asked for orders to go north and lead the army to resist Turan Bingmu, but he was rejected by Qin Yong, Qin Yong still cared about the imperial power, and the reason why he dropped Ran Mingli back was not to send him out to guard the north again, His purpose was to let Ran Mingli come back to protect the imperial city and protect the prince's great cause, Ran Mingli had no choice but to listen to Qin Yong's opinion, so that it was difficult for the military department and the cabinet to reach a resolution, and only the words "improvisation, gathering troops to encircle and suppress" were transmitted to Tongzhou, and the armies in Tongzhou were only confused, and there was no way, because the last time they suffered a big loss, Cai Qi, the general of Yunlu in Tongzhou, had no choice but to join forces and stick to the Melan Pass.

In terms of overall strength, the 200,000 defenders of Tongzhou are enough to compete with Tulan Bingmu, and seeing that Tulan Bingmu is approaching Tongzhou, some of the defenders of Chuzhou are gradually moving to Tongzhou, their purpose is nothing more than to completely limit Tulan Bingmu outside the Molan Pass, and even take the opportunity to strangle his main force. Tulan Bingmu unabashedly let his 200,000 troops camp in the place where the defenders of Molan Pass could witness, only to see the wolf banner covering the sky, thousands of miles of company camps, coupled with the last fiasco, the soldiers in the city have many lingering palpitations, even the Yunlu general Cai Qi himself is inexplicably cold, knowing that this battle will be worried.

Seeing that the time was ripe, he personally led 100,000 cavalry to fight in Chuzhou by night, and on the second day, Tulan Gurou still led the army to attack Molan Pass.

The defenders of Chuzhou Jingcheng would never have dreamed that the army of the Northern Abandonment who was still outside the Molan Pass a few days ago would suddenly come to the city, and the 100,000 troops of Tulan Bingmu took Jingcheng almost without any waste, and when the garrisons in Chuzhou reacted, Tulan Bingmu had already entered from Jingcheng, and took five border towns in a roundabout way, and tore a huge hole in the border defense of Dayuan along the Chuzhou line.

The defenders of Molan Pass were very surprised when they heard that the army of the North Abandon suddenly appeared in Chuzhou, and some people naturally saw that Tulan Bingmu was a Ming Xiu plank road to secretly cross Chencang, so it was inferred that there must not be many people outside the Molan Pass, and suggested that Cai Qi take the opportunity to take the initiative to attack and take down the North Abandon forces outside the Pass, but Cai Qi saw that the camp tents of the North Abandon people outside the Pass had not been reduced in the slightest, and he was suspicious in his heart, and he did not dare to attack rashly. It is necessary to block the northern abandoners, but Cai Qi secretly calculated, now that the crisis in Tongzhou has been solved, the northern abandoners have turned to Chuzhou, and they have no hidden danger of losing the city, so for the time being, they still decided to stabilize first and then see, and they can't take the liberty of dividing the troops, in case the northern abandoners kill a horse pistol, just like that, until Turan Gurou and others retreat to Chuzhou, Cai Qi does not have any intention of working with the Chuzhou soldiers to strangle the enemy army, so that Turan Gurou and Turan Bingmu once again joined forces, and 200,000 northern abandonment troops went to a huge sharp knife, It was deeply inserted into Obuchi's chest.

Facing Song Ji's loud questioning, the court was silent. Beforehand, almost all people thought that Tulan Bingmu would go to Tongzhou, so the troops of Tongzhou and Chuzhou were interested in gathering in the area of Molan Pass in Tongzhou, even if there were differences, they were only arguing about which pass he would choose to attack Tongzhou, no one would have thought that the Northern Abandonment people would suddenly reroute and detour more than 400 miles to appear on the Chuzhou border, so Song Ji had reason to be angry, the dignified Great Abyss, the suzerainty of the Northern Abandonment, was actually played around by his own subordinate states, and no one in the court could analyze in advance what the Northern Abandonment people were trying to do, The key is that this is the second time that he has been teased in a short period of time, since the founding of Dayuan, the honor of Tianwei has made Song Ji extremely angry, the more angry he is, the more no one in the court dares to speak, and everyone also looks at Qin Yong intentionally or unintentionally.

Qin Yong naturally couldn't help it, he knew very well in his heart that if he let Ran Mingli go north, maybe he could also make the people of Beiqi afraid, but the current form did not allow him to do so, the prince Xinli, he was not willing to take any risks, and in his heart, Beiqi would always be just a barbarian, for hundreds of years, Dayuan had not encountered such a situation, but every time no one could shake Dayuan Tianwei, he believed that this time would not be an exception.

Qin Yong was a little displeased to be scolded above the court, but in any case, he couldn't let the Northern Abandon people do whatever they wanted in the north, so as soon as he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he asked Zhang Zhaoyi to call An Yingdong, wanting this gentleman to come up with ideas for him to see if there was any way to limit the offensive momentum of the Northern Abandon people.

"The subordinates think that the prime minister doesn't need to worry too much." An Yingdong comforted.

"How can Ben Xiang not be worried, now that this Northern Desert has subdued the Northern Territory, the army is strong, and I am worried in the Great Abyss, it is really difficult to deal with it, Mr. has to think of some ways for Ben Xiang."

"Qin Xiang, there are nearly 400,000 defenders in the north of the Great Abyss, how can you be afraid of the northern abandoners?"

"In terms of quantity alone, the northern defenders naturally have an advantage, but since this Tulan Bingmu subdued the northern territories, the border between Tong, Chu and Beiqi has been extended for hundreds of miles, and there are dozens of border passes.

"Now that the main force of the North Abandonment has broken through the door of my Great Abyss and entered the territory of my Great Abyss, how can he be allowed to do whatever he wants, why don't the prime minister let General Ran go north to lead the troops and surround it in Chuzhou, the North Abandon people are good at running but are not good at holding each other for a long time, General Ran has been commanding troops at the border pass for many years, and there will naturally be a way to deal with the North Abandon barbarians."

"General Ran can't go north, Ben Xiang transferred him back to Tai'an, naturally there is another use, sir, think about it, who else in my Dayuan can take on this great responsibility?"

"This ......" An Yingdong is a little in danger, he is not pretending not to know, he is really embarrassed, for decades, Qin Yong has strengthened his foundation in the court, whether it is a civil official or a military attaché, he has appointed his own people, and these people are not really knowledgeable, most of them are sloppy and flattering, if it is just a court power, these people can help Qin Yong gain power, but if it is a matter of life and death, most of them are just greedy for life and afraid of death, useless.

For a moment, Qin Yong also thought of Yan Qingjie and Liang Pingchuan, but now that these people have disappeared in the vast mountains and wilderness, where can they be found? What's more, now that the situation is also caused by himself, how can he let go of the majesty of the prime minister and then activate them. He sometimes even thinks of Tao Chenmo, compared to the generals who entered the court together back then, including the martial champion, who are also unknown to everyone, where can they afford such a heavy responsibility.

"Is there really no suitable candidate?"

"Prime Minister, General Yunlu of Tong and Chu Prefectures has been guarding the border passes for many years, presumably the two of them have joined forces, and it shouldn't be impossible to deal with the Northern Abandoned Barbarians, right?" An Yingdong asked deliberately.

"If there was a way, it wouldn't be the current situation." Qin Yong was a little angry.

"What about General Wang Jinglan and General Zhong Jie?"

"Wang Jinglan? Sir, don't mention this waste again, if it weren't for him, why would I have lost more than 200,000 soldiers in vain, as for Zhong Jie, although he resisted Cheng Jinshang alone in Yuzhou many times, but after all, he was born as a civilian official, and if he wants to go to the north to command the army, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. ”

"Alas, the prime minister forgives the sins, except for General Ran, his subordinates really can't think of a suitable candidate for a while." Zhong Jie naturally stared at Ran Mingli at this time.

"No, no matter what, General Ran can't go north, the crown prince is newly established, King Changning and Lu Shoufu are eyeing each other in Bozhou, if he goes north, the consequences are unpredictable."

"Speaking of Bozhou, my subordinates have an idea."

"Oh? You said. ”

"Chuzhou and Bozhou are connected, if Chuzhou falls, the people of the north have two choices, either go straight to Zhongzhou and coerce Tai'an, or go south to Bozhou and seize the richest place in my abyss, so as to consume the strength of the imperial court. Lu Shoufu is not an ordinary person, he will not understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth, his subordinates think that it is better to move the northern defenders to the east of Youzhou, prevent the northern abandoners from crossing Youzhou and endanger Zhongzhou, and lead their offensive momentum to Bozhou, so that he Lu Shoufu has to send troops to resist, in this way, one can solve the crisis in Zhongzhou, and the other can let Lu Shoufu fight with the Tulan Bingmu Sandpiper. ”

"Kill two birds with one stone, sir's clever plan, then do it." Qin Yong looked very happy, although An Yingdong made him suffer a little from the ideas he gave him a few times before, but this time it was indeed a relief in the snow, which solved his urgent need.

"By the way, Prime Minister, this General Zhong has been back in Tai'an for many days, I don't know how the Prime Minister plans to settle it?"

"Speaking of Zhong Jie, Benxiang would like to ask Mr., have you found anything unusual about him in Yuzhou?"

"Something out of the ordinary? Why did Prime Minister Qin ask this? An Yingdong chuckled in his heart.

Qin Yong smiled and said: "It's nothing, when the prince and the king of Changning went south, Cheng Jinshang's people bypassed Yuzhou, and suddenly killed halfway, almost killing the prince, and the prime minister was just worried about whether Yuzhou leaked the news." ”

"Probably not, after his subordinates arrived in Yuzhou, remember the prime minister's explanation, and almost get along with this Zhong Jie, he is very grateful to himself for being appointed by the prime minister as General Yunlu, and he does everything himself, for fear of negligence to live up to the prime minister's love, so his subordinates don't see anything abnormal."

"That's good, although Zhong Jie is desperate not to surrender, but after all, he still lost Yuzhou, for His Majesty, that is also a crime, so it is not appropriate to let him take over more military affairs at the moment, but he can be involved in some internal affairs, and when the situation improves, he will be used for other purposes."

"If the prime minister doesn't say it, his subordinates haven't thought about the stakes, after all, he lost Yuzhou, and he didn't rescue the prince in time, so that the prince was injured, whether this has anything to do with Cheng Jinshang naturally has to be secretly observed, and the prime minister's worries are naturally justified." The reason why Zhong Jie said this sentence was to leave a way back for himself, since Qin Yong began to have doubts about Zhong Jie, then he had to secretly draw a line with Zhong Jie, and he could no longer speak for him, if there was anything in the future, then he would abandon Zhong Jie, and let himself stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion to continue to inquire about the news.

"In extraordinary times, everything must be cautious, but things have not gone well recently, and it is inevitable that the appearance will be too worried, but Mr. will come down and help Cheng Jinshang, who wants to think about how to deal with Yuzhou, this person is likely to take advantage of the chaos in the north and take the opportunity to make trouble."

"Now the world is not peaceful, there is only one court, but there are many rebel forces in various places, and it is indeed difficult for the prime minister, the prime minister is assured, and his subordinates will do their best to share the worries of the prime minister for the court." An Yingdong's words were sincere.

Qin Yong sighed, he was a little tired, so he motioned for An Yingdong to retreat first.

After An Yingdong retreated, Qin Yong said to Zhang Zhaoye: "Zhong Jie fell into the hands of Cheng Jinshang twice, but he retreated with his whole body, and no one knows the reason, although he is suspicious of this appearance, but everything still needs to be careful, you come down and pay more attention to his movements, if there is any abnormality, you should report it to me as soon as possible, now is the time to employ people, if he has no second heart, there are still many things that need to be handed over to him." ”

In fact, no matter whether Qin Yong uses An Yingdong's method or not, Lu Shoufu will not let Tulan Bingmu take what he wants in Chuzhou, he is a smart person, firstly, he naturally understands the truth of cold lips and teeth, and secondly, Tulan Bingmu's southern invasion just gave him the best excuse to send troops to Chuzhou and expand his territory.

Lu Wenzhao had already developed the habit of asking Jiao Lian Song for advice before going to the General's Mansion to discuss important matters.

In the face of Lu Wenzhao's inquiry, Jiao Lian Song's mind was quickly calculating, he had to think about the ins and outs of this matter, if he didn't receive special instructions from Shangfeng, it meant that he could still proceed according to the original plan.

"The subordinates think that the second prince should not only support General Lu's plan to advance north, but also recommend himself to lead the troops and set an example."

"That's natural, my Lu family boy has always been a pioneer."

"No, no, no, Childe has misunderstood the meaning of his subordinates."

"Oh? What does that sir mean? ”

"The second son is strong in martial arts, and it is naturally not a problem to charge into battle, but this time when he goes north, what the son has to do is not just a simple matter of attacking the city and plundering the village."

"Please sir."

"This northward advance, one is to expand the territory, the other is to establish authority, especially the second point, Gongzi thinks, the north abandons the south, Tong and Chuzhou people are panicked, and the army is discouraged, if Gongzi can take the opportunity to weaken or even extinguish the prestige of the people who abandon the north, then the Chuzhou army will naturally look at Gongzi differently, and if it is useful in the future, it will definitely respond."

"I was negligent, Mr. is really thinking long-term, but most of the generals at all levels in Chuzhou are Qin Yong's nepotism, how can these people respond to my call in Bozhou?"

"The generals are Qin Yong's people, but hundreds of thousands of soldiers are taking their own lives for their lives, Qin Yong only cares about the power struggle, regardless of the life and death of the soldiers, regardless of the division of the territory, where will he win the hearts of the people, as long as the prince has made military exploits in Chuzhou, the soldiers will naturally know which is good and which is bad, not to mention, there is also the king of Changning."

"Sir, do you mean to let me go north with the King of Changning?"

"Yes, if it is said that most of the troops in the northern border are Qin Yong's nepotism, ordinary soldiers dare to be angry but dare not speak, but if the king of Changning comes, he is an upright prince, with his call, the prince will attack the city again to help, the soldiers will naturally fall to the king and the prince of Changning, and the subordinates have already heard that the Chuzhou army is dissatisfied with the king of Changning being framed by Qin Yong's design, if they can build an inch of merit this time, these people will definitely be able to be used by the prince and the king of Changning, once this is the case, in the future, if the prince needs anything, these people will not obey orders at any time."

Lu Wenzhao thought about it carefully, was happy in his heart, and praised: "Mr. is really a genius, it seems that he wants to fight for the world, and Bozhou is indispensable for Mr. to help, so good, I will act according to Mr.'s opinion." ”

Lu Wenzhao put forward his opinion to Lu Shoufu according to Jiao Lian Song's idea, and asked for the order to lead the troops north, Lu Shoufu naturally agreed with this idea very much, which not only made his division famous, especially with the banner of the King of Changning, but also made him full of imagination about the control of Chuzhou's troops, Lu Wenting did not expect that his younger brother, who was a little reckless in private, would have such a clever plan today, and he was naturally very happy in his heart, so Lu Wenzhao led 150,000 troops and began to march north to block Turan Bingmu under the banner of King Changning.

Under the instruction of Lu Shoufu, the Bozhou army issued an expulsion document in the name of Song Yao, the king of Changning, which said that "the treacherous minister Qin Yong in order to help the prince compete for the throne, hoarded troops to stick to the imperial capital, ignored the soldiers in the north, did not realize the shame of losing the king's land, and ignored the pain of death at dawn. As soon as this article came out, the people with lofty ideals who had sympathized with the King of Changning were greatly encouraged, especially the defenders of the northern border who heard that the King of Changning was coming, and their confidence was greatly boosted.

When he got the text, Qin Yong was furious, and An Yingdong could only continue to comfort Qin Yong on the grounds that the Bozhou troops were scattered so far, but on the contrary, Tulan Bingmu and Qiu Xinzhi laughed.

Naturally, they didn't laugh at the naivety of King Changning, but laughed at the royal family of Dayuan and fought against each other, each in their own way.

"Laugh and laugh, but this Lu Shoufu's soldiers are indeed some hard bones, and with the presence of King Changning in person, the morale of Dayuan will inevitably be improved, I don't know if Mr. has a way to crack it."

"How do you want to crack it, according to the humble position, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, the soldiers of Dayuan are so bearish, even if there are ten more Changning kings, they can't stop the courage of my northern abandonment boy." Tulan Wukao said loudly, in fact, he was originally very dissatisfied with Qiu Xinzhi's suggestion that Tulan Bingmu strictly forbid the soldiers to be burned, killed, and plundered.

"Alas, the general's words are wrong, what kind of person is Lu Shoufu, he was so invincible back then, wasn't he beaten by him and had no power to fight back? Since he dared to enter Chuzhou north, he naturally had his own plans, and he must not underestimate the enemy. Qiu Xinzhi said.

"Yes, this king has said a long time ago, now that the heroes are rising, until the last moment, no one can say who will kill the deer, any force may cause us a fatal blow, this king has been hostage in Tai'an for more than ten years, but not just to return to the north to inherit a throne, don't say such reckless words in the future."

Tulan Wukao hurriedly bowed down and said: "What the prince said is that he is reckless, so according to the opinion of the prince and the gentleman, how should we deal with the king of Changning." ”

"Dayuan's three-hundred-year foundation, it is unrealistic for us to swallow one bite, so we can't fight hard with the Bozhou Army at the moment." Qiu Xinzhi said.

"So what?" Wu Kao first continued to ask.

"We don't want to fight hard, Lu Shoufu is the same, the reason why he is willing to send troops to the north this time is very simple, it is nothing more than to take this opportunity to expand the army in Chuzhou, and at the same time, establish the prestige of the king of Changning in the northern army, this is also a response to Qin Yong's support for the king of Jin'an as the crown prince, Lu Shoufu is not a grass coward, and naturally knows that you can't be reckless in the world, if the old man is not mistaken, the Bozhou army will come this time at most to prevent us from going south and will not take the initiative to attack us."

"If he doesn't take the initiative, will he be allowed to stand in the way of our southward journey?" Wu Kao first bent on fighting.

Qiu Xinzhi waved his hand and said: "If you want to come to Tai'an, why not only Chuzhou?" ”

Tulan Bingmu smiled slightly: "Lu Shoufu sent troops as early as we expected, I and Mr. have already planned, now I abandon the border with Dayuan for hundreds of miles, and tearing a hole from anywhere is enough for them to drink a pot, if you can't fight hard in Chuzhou, then we will start from Tongzhou." ”

"If you want to return to Tongzhou again, why did the county lord come to Chuzhou to join us, why didn't you stay in Tongzhou all the time?"

Qiu Xinzhi and Tulan Bingmu looked at each other and smiled, and said: "The reason why the county lord came to Chuzhou is to mobilize the defenders of Tongzhou to move eastward, and now Dayuan has transferred most of the defenders to Chuzhou and Zhongzhou, so Tongzhou's troops are empty, and it is a place where the general has a lot to do." ”

"I see, then according to Mr.'s wishes, I can move to Tongzhou and catch them off guard?" Although Turanwu Kaoxian didn't like Qiu Xinzhi's twisted heart, he also had to admire his planning and layout.

"Yes, this time you will exchange with the county lord, the county lord will stay with the king to deal with Song Yao, and you will make a detour to the north and send troops to Tongzhou." Turan Bingmu said.

"Yes, hahaha." Speaking of being able to send troops to fight, Turan Ukukauxian was extremely happy, and the previous unhappiness disappeared without a trace.

"What about the battle in the South?" At this time, Turan Gurou suddenly asked.

"Southside?" This question made Turan Bingmu a little confused.

"Yes, Southside."

Turan Bingmu suddenly understood that Turan Gurou was actually asking Tao Chenmo, but she was not good at explaining it directly.

"Oh, in comparison, Cheng Jinshang's life is much more comfortable than you and me, and now that the Dayuan Imperial Court is busy dealing with us and the Bozhou Lu family, I'm afraid that I don't have the heart to think about Cheng Jinshang and Tao Chenmo for the time being."

"Speaking of which, will we make such a move cheaper Cheng Jinshang, the court is busy targeting us and others, if this Cheng Jinshang takes the opportunity to enter Tai'an, then we will really make wedding dresses for others." Turanbo said.

"Now that Ran Mingli has returned to Tai'an, and has been awarded the post of General of the Gyeonggi Defense, neither Lu Shoufu nor Cheng Jinshang will dare to act rashly, although this Qin Yong is treacherous, but this trick is indeed exquisite, although Ran Mingli's character is not high, but in terms of talent, it can be regarded as a rare leader in the Dayuan Dynasty." Qiu Xinzhi said.

"I'm afraid that in case this Cheng Jinshang takes a risk, and in the end he succeeds." Turambo continued.

Qiu Xinzhi cleared his throat and said: "There are 200,000 in Gyeonggi Wei, Cheng Jinshang and Lu Shoufu both know that no matter who comes out first, even if they win, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and once they are damaged, the other side can reap the benefits of the fisherman yesterday, so with the shrewdness of these two people, they will not enter Tai'an unless they have to, and General Boxiu does not need to worry." ”

"Yes, although Cheng Jinshang seems to be idle at the moment, in fact, he and Lu Shoufu have long been in a mutual restraint situation, we don't need to worry too much about the situation in the south now, on the contrary, we must let Dayuan mess up, so that there is a lot to do." Turan Bingmu said.

Since his prince and his most trusted adviser were so relieved, Tulan Boxiu also felt that there was no need to worry too much, but this Tulan Gurou fell silent after asking such a sentence, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After everyone retreated, she asked Tulan Bingmu with some concern: "Brother Wang, if one day we cut off all our opponents and confront Tao Chenmo again, what will Brother Wang do?" ”

"Gu Rou, to tell the truth, to this day, this king is still angry about not subduing Tao Chen, and it is strange to say, when Tai'an first met, this king had no friendship with him but he loved this stranger very much, and then there were two points of friendship, but I felt that this person was extraordinary, this king believed, this feeling will not be for no reason, so sometimes this king has to think about the future goodbye is the enemy, and how to deal with himself, but it is difficult."

"From Yuzhou to Yunyang, the minister sister personally saw the relationship between Cheng Jinshang and his generals, Cheng Jinshang is meritocracy, and his soldiers are even more loyal to him, Tao Chenmo is no exception, if we really meet again one day, I am afraid that they can only treat each other as opponents, alas, what a pity." Turan Gurou had a faint sadness.

"If you want to fight for the world, you must give up, although I have always wanted to use Tao Chen's last move for my own use, but if he insists on refusing and hinders the king's major affairs, the king will definitely not show mercy."

"Yes, my Northern Abandon people have always looked at other people's faces for hundreds of years, and now is the best opportunity to change all this, so there can't be anyone in the way, it's just, what a pity." Somehow, the deeper she went into the Abyss territory, the more afraid Turan Gurou was of one day coming face to face with Tao Chenmo.

"Okay, my good Dayi, don't think so much, gathering and dispersing are all determined by heaven, you and I mortals can't force it, let's talk about it when it comes to that day, okay?" Turan Bingmu comforted softly. This Da Yi is the meaning of the most primitive sister in the language of the Northern Abandoned People, and only the closest relatives will call it that.

Turan was speechless, just nodded slightly.

At this time, Yuzhou was peaceful, and there was an endless stream of people who came to join Cheng Jinshang, although there was no war, Cheng Jinshang and Tao Chenmo and others did not have much leisure time. After hearing that Lu Shoufu divided his troops to the north, many people in the palace suggested taking the opportunity to send troops to Bozhou, but they were all denied by Qu Hongsleeve, her meaning is very simple, instead of taking the uncertain ending as a bet, you might as well let Lu Shoufu and Tulan Bingmu and even the imperial court break their wrists, and the Yuzhou army can take the opportunity to recuperate and improve its strength, Tao Chenmo is almost the same meaning, in his opinion, now the war in Yinzhou is already deadlocked, and Yuzhou has no more energy to target Lu Shoufu, What's more, the quality of the Bozhou Army is much stronger than that of the Dayuan Army, and now the situation is complicated, and no one is sure of victory, so everything is still cautious.

On this day, Tao Chenmo was resting in the house, and Qu Hongsleeve suddenly came to visit.

After watching the tea and taking a seat, Tao Chenmo asked slowly: "Miss Qu came to visit, I don't know what is important?" ”

Qu Hongsleeve smiled slightly, and said: "I have heard of the general's name before, since the beginning of the descent from the mountain, I have not come to visit the door, and there is nothing important to come here today, but it is rare to have time, so I came to see the general." ”

"Miss Qu has a heart, you and I both work for the prince, why should the girl be so polite."

"Before going down the mountain, I was always worried about whether I would have many differences with the old people under the prince's account, but now it seems that many of my suggestions coincide with the general, which is really an honor."

"Where does the girl speak, since she works for the prince, of course, she has to talk about things and express her opinions, even if there are disagreements, it is normal, and the girl is full of strategies, the world is in her heart, and all the strategies she makes are nearly 10,000, so I naturally support it."

"The general is falsely praised, but speaking of which, I wonder what the general thinks about the current situation?"

"Now the situation is delicate, and I don't think too much, but at present, the biggest enemies of Yuzhou are probably Bozhou and Beiqi."

"Yes, it's almost a dead game now, it depends on who plays chess and who makes the mistake first, but in the game, we can't always wait."

"Oh? What advice does the girl have? ”

"It's hard to say at the moment, but once the war in the north changes, I think we should also do something, I don't know if the general thinks we should move Bozhou first or enter Tai'an first?"

"Tai'an has the elite of the Great Abyss, and I'm afraid this bone is more difficult to gnaw." Tao Chenmo said slowly.

"As long as the Northern Abandon can cause more trouble to Dayuan in the north, then this bone will inevitably loosen somewhat, how much storm does the general think this Tulan Bingmu can set off?"

"This person has been dormant in Tai'an for more than ten years, and then he was able to retreat with his whole body, and in less than two years to recover the northern provinces, his ability has to be said to be the first person in the northern abandoned tribe in hundreds of years, and this person has long revealed the ambition to dominate the world, plus he is assisted by Qiu Xinzhi, and he is even more powerful, so I think he will definitely be able to make Dayuan suffer in the north, and may even become our biggest enemy." Tao Chenmo knew Tulan Bingmu very well.

"Throughout history, where the alien race is in turmoil, there are few successful people, there have been similar things in the history of the Great Abyss, but in the end it has not threatened the foundation of the Great Abyss, compared to the previous few times of the four rebellions, now only the North Abandon clan has moved, besides, there is the court and Lu Shoufu in front of us, presumably this North Abandon will not threaten us in the end."

"What the girl said also makes sense, but think about it from another angle, although it is only the Northern Abandon Clan that is causing rebellion, but this is because Turan Bingmu has subdued all the tribes in the North, and its strength is unprecedented, not to mention, in my opinion, it is only a matter of time before Wei Rong rebels."

Qu Hongsleeve didn't expect Tao Chenmo to suddenly mention Wei Rong, she was a little surprised, and asked: "This Wei Rong has always bowed down to Dayuan, and has never rebelled since Dayuan founded the country, why did the general suddenly think of Wei Rong?" ”

"Wei Rong Lao Wang suddenly reduced the tribute before, this is a rebellious heart, if it weren't for the situation of Ran Mingli guarding Jingzhou, he must have been impatient to ask for land from Dayuan, on the other hand, now that the new king is on the throne, Wei Rong is too peaceful, this is not a good thing, the tranquility before the storm has always been like this."

Qu Hongsleeves secretly exclaimed, she thought that this Tao Chenmo should be focusing on the current battle situation recently, she never thought that his eyes would be so long-term, she smiled slightly, and said: "I really haven't thought about Wei Rong in the bottom, but I think that the reason why Wei Rong has not moved so far must be because of his own limited strength, Wei Rong's national strength has always been weak, even if there is a rebellion one day, it will be a small trouble for the prince at most, and it will not hinder the prince's plans." ”

"Yes, and that's not something we're going to have to think about right now." Tao Chenmo said.

"I think it's rare for the general to have free time, so I won't bother in the future, but I'm afraid that he will come to the house at any time to disturb him in the future, and I hope the general won't dislike it." Qu Hongsleeve said goodbye with a slight smile.

"Miss Qu doesn't have to be polite, the door of my house can be open for girls at any time."

Qu Hongsleeve said goodbye to Tao Chenmo, and immediately left Tao Chenmo's residence, at this time, Nie Qingyun asked softly: "How is it, can you communicate with General Tao smoothly?" ”

"King Ning An is right, our General Tao is not just a general, we have to come often in the future." Qu Hongsleeve said meaningfully.

"Girl, they're here." Nie Qingyun changed his words and said softly.

Qu Hongsleeves stopped, walked forward again, and said slowly but with some seriousness: "Very good, Qingyun, you remember, without my orders, everyone will treat me honestly." ”

"Don't worry, girl, I promise, nothing will go wrong."
