But if we choose to defend and let Hu Meng attack, at least the imperial court can use this as a reason to ignite the hatred of the people of the country towards Hu Meng, and then blame all the sins on Hu Meng's side, it is they who take the initiative to attack us, whether they want to rob us of our land and food, or they want to harm our relatives and friends.

At that time, the Yan Kingdom could lead a group of excited Yan people to fight against the menacing Humeng.

So for the group of people who took the initiative to speak up for the war, Emperor Yan Jin just praised them, praising them for their loyalty to the country, not afraid of life and death, courage to face national disasters, etc., and then turned around and scolded secretly: "Pig braincase!" ”

Of course, there are also some lords and factions, they don't understand the causes and consequences of Kelie's trapped Yanjing, they just feel that all this is a misunderstanding, they just need to send an envoy to Hu Meng to explain the matter in detail, solve the misunderstanding between each other, and then send Hu Meng some gold, silver, money and silk and other things to show their sincerity.

It's just that as soon as these people spoke, they saw Emperor Yan Jin's gloomy face on the dragon chair that was about to rain, so they hurriedly turned their heads to look at An Pingjun, who had not said a word before, and then disappointed that An Pingjun, who had always been kind, had a gloomy face at this time than their Emperor Majesty, and there seemed to be thunder flashing in his eyes, which was full of murderous intentions.

Several people shuddered for a while, and then shrank their heads in panic, and shrank into the corner of the main hall like turtles, not daring to say anything more.

Since you can only choose defense, you have to discuss how to defend and how to resist!

Although the military department is a Beijing official, the soldiers and horses in the world should theoretically be controlled by him, so he should be the one to give up the opening words.

"Your Majesty!" Gu Yanchuan, the secretary of the military department, held the wat out of the ranks, but his eyes drifted to Jinran on the side, and saw that Jinran looked at Emperor Yan Jin on the dragon chair without squinting, so he continued: "Since the founding of the Great Yan country, if Hu Mengruo sends a large army to the south, he will wait until the Zimu River freezes in winter, cross the Zimu River and storm the Hanyue Pass, and the Hanyue Pass at this time is also the weakest place in my Dayan defense. ”

After a pause, Gu Yanchuan continued: "Your Majesty suggests that after the autumn, 50,000 garrisons from Yanyun Erzhou will be transferred to assist in the defense of Hanyue Pass, led by Gu Liangchen, the commander of the Second Army, and at the same time take over the command of Hanyue Pass. ”

"Oh? Does this make sense? Yan Shu was noncommittal and asked the reason.

"Yes" Gu Yanchuan bowed down again and said: "Hanyue Pass originally had 20,000 Yanyun troops, and they were originally natives of Yanyun's hometown, so it was easy to get close to the Second Army Corps that had been stationed in Yanyun Erzhou for a long time, reducing friction between the two armies, which was one of the reasons.

Although the Northwest Army is twice as large as other legions in terms of establishment, but Dingzhou and Caizhou are frequent, it is the land of four wars, if Hu Meng has another large army to force Dingzhou, this Caiguan is the first and last two cares, not because his subordinates do not believe in the ability of King Liang, but such a major matter, in case of mistakes, the consequences are unimaginable, so let Gu Shuai be fully responsible for the defense of Hanyue Pass, so that King Liang can put his mind on Dingzhou wholeheartedly, this is the second reason.

Although Yanyun and Yunzhou are located in the frontier, they are separated from Humeng by the Evergreen Mountains, so under the long-term absence of war, the soldiers will inevitably have the idea of timidity. ”

As soon as the words fell, another person stood up and shouted: "Gu Shangshu is reasonable."

The person who spoke was the same as Gu Yanchuan, dressed in a purple official robe, holding a white jade elephant wat, his slightly thin figure gave people a upright temperament, and a face with a slightly convex forehead bone had a straight beard.

"But" Gong Jia changed his words, "Gu Shuai has been in Yanyun for a long time, and he is not familiar with the situation around Caizhou and Hanyue Pass, although he can survey and supplement after garrisoning Hanyue Pass, but it is definitely not as good as the current Hanyue Pass guard Liu Zhizhou, you must know that a general's familiarity with the surrounding environment during the war largely determines the outcome of this battle, this is the advantage of time, place, and people, so Wei Chen feels that Gu Shangshu's suggestion can be adopted in the first half and transfer 50,000 troops of the Second Army to assist in the defense of Hanyue Pass, but Gu Shuai is still in charge of Yanyun, These 50,000 soldiers and horses were handed over to the Hanyue Pass General Liu Zhizhou and General Liu under the command of General Liu. ”

When Jin Ran heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal, and he still stood in his position without saying a word, looking at his nose and his nose at his heart.

Emperor Yan Jin's eyes flashed with approval on the dragon chair, he has been sitting on this dragon chair for more than ten years, how can he not know the intentions of these ministers.

Gu Yanchuan is an important figure in the Jinran family, and Gu Liangchen is also a confidant brought out by Jinran himself, Gu Yanchuan's words are to take the opportunity to put Hanyue Pass in the hands of the Jinran family, and take the command of the 20,000 Yanyun army by the way.

Don't underestimate the 20,000 Yanyun army, it is a tiger wolf with the inheritance of a hundred battles, after the rebellion of Yan Youchu, it was the 20,000 Yanyun army that blocked Hu Meng's footsteps to continue to go south under the Hanyue Pass, and the horror of its combat effectiveness can be seen from this.

And Gong Jia's words not only made Gu Yanchuan's plan fail, but also made Jin Ran and his family lift a stone to shoot themselves in the foot, and sent 50,000 troops to the hands of Liang Wang Yanhu in vain, they naturally won't do this deal, but when it comes to this, even if they don't want to, they have to find a reason to come out, otherwise they really can't help them in front of everyone.

As soon as he thought of this, Yan Shu glanced at Jin Ran below with some smugness, but the Jin Ran he saw was still the one who closed his eyes and recuperated, and he didn't care, and turned his gaze to the front again.

In fact, Jin Ran's heart was naturally not calm, Gu Yanchuan's words were not what he asked for in advance, but Gu Yanchuan's own decision, at this time, Gong Jia was the first army, and if he didn't get it right, he really lost the 50,000 troops of the second army in vain, if Gu Liangchen knew about it, he would have to take his machete and slash Gu Yanchuan.

For the sake of today's plan, they can only think of ways to bypass this matter, if they don't give it to them, they can't help it, but they will give people a handle, thinking about it, Jin Ran couldn't help but sigh, "This Gu Yanchuan is usually full of wisdom, why is he so confused this time?" ”

Gu Yanchuan didn't hold back a fart when he muttered for half a salary, and turned his eyes to Jin Ran for help, Jin Ran pondered for a moment, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, if you rashly hand over the military power of the Second Legion to Liu Zhizhou, I am afraid of causing trouble, after all, the Second Legion has always been Gu Liangchen's direct subordinate troops, and acting like this is like changing generals in battle, soldiers do not know generals, and generals do not know soldiers, it is a taboo for soldiers."

Therefore, the minister suggested that Gu Liangchen could be the main commander and Liu Zhizhou as the deputy commander, and Liu Zhizhou would assist Gu Liangchen in garrisoning Hanyue Pass, and the original garrison of Hanyue Pass except for Yan Yunjun could be used as a mobile force, and it could be transferred to wherever it was needed, so that Baoding Prefecture and Caizhou could be worry-free. ”

As soon as Gu Yanchuan's voice fell, he immediately stood up again: "What An Pingjun said is very good, and the minister will reconsider!" ”

Then most of the ministers in the hall also nodded and said, "Wait for the reconsideration!" ”

Yan Shuyi's face no longer had the color just now, but looked at Jin Ran with a smile, and then said lightly: "That's it for today, disperse!" ”

On the way down to the court, Gu Yanchuan took the initiative to find Jinran to ask for guilt, but Jinran didn't mean to blame, but just said meaningfully: "We have the same political views, and it is appropriate to help each other in the court, but we need to be consistent with the outside world in the major affairs of the family and the country, and we must not think carefully." ”

……

At this time, in the imperial study, there was another sound of smashing tables and broken chairs, and Yan Shuyi complained loudly to the next house: "You saw it, right? See it! This is my court, this is the official of the Great Yan Kingdom, I sometimes think, when can I pull all these bastards outside to cut down, and the anger in my heart will be smooth. ”

It was not the first time that Yan Shuyi was angry on the other side, so he wisely kept silent, and then waited for Yan Shuyi to vent his anger enough, and then spoke out to admonish.

"Your Majesty is angry, Anpingjun's words are indeed the best plan......."

Yan Shuyi waved his hand and interrupted Fang Xuan's words, "I know that is the best plan, I am not angry with him, I am angry with him This is the Manchu Dynasty civil and military who is the head of his horse, do you say that they still have me as the emperor in their eyes?" Especially that Gu Yanchuan, he has to look at his Jinhong's eyes when he says a word, and the more he thinks about it, the more angry he becomes! ”

House Xuan listened quietly, Yan Shuyi said this, which meant that the qi in his heart had almost come out, so Zhengse said: "Gu Yanchuan today is definitely his own opinion, not at the behest of An Pingjun. ”

"How so?"

"Wei Chen carefully observed, after Gu Yanchuan made a statement, although Jin Ran was still closing his eyes and recuperating, his body was slightly flustered, obviously quite surprised, and then Gong Jia Gong Shangshu's words made him frown slightly, which shows that he didn't think of a good solution for a while, just imagine that if they had discussed it in advance, it would be impossible not to be unprepared for this."

Yan Shu breathed a sigh of relief after thinking about it, but he was still worried: "Jinran has always been a big mountain pressing on me, if I can't pull him away, I will be crushed by this mountain sooner or later." ”

"Oh, that's right" seemed to suddenly remember something, Yan Shuyi asked: "Is Wuji going to leave for Dingzhou tomorrow?" ”

"The matter of the bereavement for the dead soldiers on the side of the household has been arranged, and according to the plan, he will indeed leave Beijing tomorrow."

"Okay, got it, you go back first!"

……

Yan Wuji and Jinhong walked side by side on Suzaku Street in Yanjing, followed by Yan Changfeng, who was dressed as a man, with two mustaches, which looked quite funny.

The three of them went to worship in front of Yan Wuji's mother's grave, and they were walking back from there at this time, Yan Wuji was carrying a bamboo basket in his hand, there were no sacrifices in it, Yan Wuji and Jin Hong were walking and chatting in front, and Yan Changfeng followed quietly behind, slightly disappointed, because of the upcoming parting.

"When you go back, will you go to Caiguan, or will you go directly to Shema Town to take office?" This is Jin Hong asking Yan Wuji, his position as the right guard of Xiema Town has been approved by Emperor Jin and the Ministry of Officials.

"I should go to the food customs first, at least report to my father that he is safe, and then tell him that everything is fine with my mother." Yan Wuji's words were a little stunned, in the face of this city that has been crawling here since he was a child, in fact, he didn't have much sense of belonging, and it was better to stay in Yuguan for less than a month.

But he has a lot of worries here, his mother's tomb and Yan Shuyi, who is the emperor, as well as Jinhong and Yan Changfeng around him, as for the Liang Wangfu, since his mother's death, it is just a nominal home, and there is no memory.

"When you get there, remember to send us a letter, report safety, what Mr. Kong gave you, you remember to take it with you, you are at the border, don't be reluctant to use it in a critical situation, I'll ask for one to send to you when it's used up." Jin Hong smiled, with a little naughty taste of childhood.

Yan Wuji looked at Jin Hong beside him carefully, then patted the other party's shoulder and sighed, "It's really grown up." ”

Then he turned his gaze to Yan Changfeng on the side, and quipped: "Don't be unhappy, it's not like I can't come back when I go here." ”

Yan Changfeng hurriedly shook his head, "Brother Wuji, don't talk nonsense, I'm just a little parting, don't be reckless over there, the sword has no eyes when marching and fighting, don't hurt it." ”

Yan Wuji laughed, didn't answer Yan Changfeng's words, and said to himself: "Don't come to see me off tomorrow, I'm afraid that when the time comes, I can't help but cry endlessly like last time, it's very shameless." “

Jinhong smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I won't go, I don't like that kind of scene either." “

Yan Changfeng snorted for a while, but still nodded and said, "I don't know when I will see you again next time?" “

Faced with this problem, the three of them were silent for a while, the last time they parted was eight years, so what about this time?
