After coming out of the Sanhua Building, Wang Yuan remained silent. Gao Xianzhi was also silent, he knew that Xuanzong had promised not to interfere in military affairs again, but today Xuanzong's attitude he also saw in his eyes, knowing why Wang Yuan was silent.

Because Gao Xianzhi was in a hurry to leave Chengdu and go to Ningzhou in Longyou Road, Wang Yuan directly sent Gao Xianzhi outside the north gate of Chengdu.

When the official road was about to be separated, Gao Xianzhi finally couldn't help the words in his heart, pulled Wang Yuan to stand under a green willow on the side of the road, and whispered: "Brother Xian, I hope you will not be affected by today's events. You have said that in any case, it is our duty to put down this rebellion and relieve the people of their suffering. What you and I have done is not for the sake of a particular person, but for the sake of the common people, and I hope you will not forget what you said. ”

Wang Yuan sighed and said, "Brother, don't worry, I'm fine." I'm just a little interested, but I'll do what needs to be done. But I've also seen people for what they really are, and I know what's going on in their minds. I wondered what I was going to do after the rebellion was put down. You and I are still useful at this moment, but what will be the fate of you and me when the rebellion is put down? ”

Gao Xianzhi smiled and said, "What else? The high bird is exhausted, and the good bow is hidden. The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook. In the end, people have already thought about it, and a powerful minister like you and me will not be tolerated. However, I had already thought about it, and after the rebellion was put down, I would be disarmed and returned to the field, and I would go home to share the joy of family with my family, and no longer pay attention to the affairs of the DPRK and China. I don't know what you think. ”

Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "Do you think you can escape the wind and rain by disarming and returning to the field?" The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, you don't want to cause trouble, but trouble will come to you. That's it, don't think about it, do your best to quell this rebellion, and do something practical for the peace of the world. As for the future, let's wait and see. But one thing is certain, I, Wang Yuan, am by no means a person who is bullied, for the sake of me and the people around me, I can shed my blood and fight. No matter who the opponent is, if you want to disadvantage me, I will be ruthless and never merciless. I know that there are many things that you and I do differently, and I will not block my brother's decision, but please don't stop me one day when my decision is made. ”

Gao Xianzhi nodded slightly and said, "Move with your heart, be tenacious and unyielding, this is you." Rest assured, your brother will never be your enemy, but only a helping hand by your side. ”

Wang Yuan bowed to the ground, and Gao Xianzhi straddled his horse and galloped north.

……

After the fierce confrontation in Sanhualou, Fang Xuan obviously restrained a lot, and when Wang Yuan found him here and asked him to do a good job in the deployment of logistics supplies, Fang Xuan agreed. Originally, Wang Yuan did not plan to use the money and grain transported from the southeastern provinces, because Wang Yuan had already prepared to be self-sufficient, but Wang Yuan changed his mind, and although he didn't need to worry about other problems to fight with the food and materials he had reserved, the money and grain of the imperial court that he saved would be squandered by Fang Xuan and others who thought that the materials were abundant.

Originally, the intention of saving this part of the grain was to use it to help the refugees, but in fact, the main supply and relief of the refugees was still Wang Yuan's own old capital, and the money and grain transported by the southeast provinces were rarely used here. After the princes and ministers came to Chengdu, they even refused to lower their salaries to tide over the difficulties, and their lives were still luxurious, and they did not consider the overall situation at all. In this case, Wang Yuan felt that it was meaningless to save for the imperial court, and since the business was official, everything would follow the normal process.

Fang Xuan promised that he would definitely guarantee the supply of military supplies. Wang Yuan solemnly told him that military supplies and grass are the lifeblood of the army, and this matter is not trivial. If something goes wrong here, then this battle will be lost, and I hope Fang Xuan will take it seriously. Fang Xuan asked Wang Yuan to put one hundred and twenty hearts, saying that he could not know the importance of this matter.

There are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Chengdu, half of which are already stationed in the eastern state capital, and Wang Yuan does not need to lead 100,000 troops this time. Chengdu Prefecture needed to leave 20,000 soldiers and horses to maintain law and order and protect Xuanzong, and Wang Yuan could only use 80,000 soldiers and horses. Fortunately, more than 20,000 recruits were recruited from among the refugees this month, and Wang Yuan decided to leave 10,000 recruits and 10,000 veterans to defend the city. Another 10,000 recruits were dispersed and assigned to the army. In this way, every nine veterans can bring one recruit to form a team, which can greatly reduce the impact on combat effectiveness. And Wang Yuan finally increased the available soldiers and horses to 100,000.

For a few days, Wang Yuan nervously prepared for the expedition, and at the same time sent elite cavalry to the east of Bashan to conduct frequent reconnaissance. Although the result of the investigation was still that there was no sign of a large rebel army advancing in the east of Bashan, Wang Yuan still firmly believed that the rebels would directly attack Jiannan, and the so-called 200,000 troops in the north were just a pretense. As for Xuanzong's move not to lead the army to the north, the officials of the DPRK and China also have a lot of complaints. Although Xuanzong was also very unhappy, he said that he would not interfere in military affairs first, and he had no reason to ask about it, but he complained a lot in private.

The date of Wang Yuan's expedition was set for March 25. On the evening of the day before the expedition, Wang Yuan went to Huanhuaxi to bid farewell to Mrs. Qin. Of course, Wang Yuan also wanted to see how Yang Yuhuan's mood was, after all, after the accident that night, he always hid and didn't look like a man. After the expedition, there was no distraction, and Wang Yuan didn't want to remember this matter in his heart.

It has only been seven or eight days since the last time I came here, and the spring between heaven and earth has obviously become stronger. The green trees on the road to Huanhua Creek are getting thicker, and the wildflowers have begun to compete for beauty. The area around Huanhua Creek is a scene of midspring, with lush flowers and trees, birds singing and streaming, a vibrant scene.

In the small courtyard of the thatched house, Mrs. Qin Guo was delighted to see Wang Yuan coming on horseback, and hurriedly opened the door from the courtyard and rushed out. Standing in front of Wang Yuan's horse's head, he looked up and smiled.

"You're finally here, and I heard that you're going on a campaign, and I thought you wouldn't come. If you don't come again, tomorrow I'm going to go into the city to see you off. ”

Mrs. Qin Guo has changed into a thin spring shirt, and the whole person looks more graceful.

Wang Yuan leaned over and wiped a piece of grass from her hair, and said with a smile: "I promised Mrs. something, how dare I break my word?" I must have been told by Liu Jun about my expedition tomorrow. ”

"Yes, you don't come often, Liu Jun doesn't come again, don't you have to teach us to die lonely? Liu Jun came yesterday and brought a lot of rice and grain, saying that he was afraid that he would not be able to come for a while. I asked him, and he couldn't help but tell me. Don't you blame him for disobeying military orders and revealing secrets, is he going to deceive his mother? ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "No blame, no blame. ”

Wang Yuan turned over and dismounted, and entered the courtyard side by side with Mrs. Qin Guo. Mrs. Qin Guo smiled and pointed to the vegetable in the courtyard and said, "See?" Wild vegetables are growing well, and today you can try them. ”

Wang Yuan raised his eyes and looked at it, and it had only been a few days, and the land was already green.

"Amazing, I didn't expect Madame to have this hand."

"People water and weed and fertilize every day, and you see, their hands are thick." Mrs. Qin Guo said coquettishly as a girl.

Wang Yuan took her hand and looked at it, but he didn't see anything rough, but in order to comfort her, he still kissed her palm. Mrs. Qin Guo retracted her hand suddenly, Wang Yuan was startled, and then found that Mrs. Qin Guo was looking at the door of the thatched house, and there was a person standing at the door.

Yang Yuhuan stood at the door wearing a green coat, this color is not suitable for plump people, but Yang Yuhuan's figure is obviously not as plump as the legend, this set of spring shirts and green skirts looks particularly suitable on Yang Yuhuan's body. She is twenty-nine years old, and she is still as smart as a girl in this outfit. Her skin is still delicate, her eyebrows are still picturesque, but there is a faint sadness and vicissitudes between her eyebrows, and this can only be seen by those who know.

At first glance, when he saw Yang Yuhuan, Wang Yuan suddenly panicked, after all, he had done something bad, and now that he had met the main owner, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he was still a little weak-hearted. Yang Yuhuan looked at Wang Yuan and bowed slightly: "It turned out that you were here, why did I suddenly become lively." ”

"yes, yes, I'm here." Wang Yuan said embarrassedly.

Mrs. Qin Guo said in a low voice: "Little sister has forgiven you, but you should still apologize." ”

Wang Yuan stepped forward with a smirk and stammered, "This...... This ......"

"I'm going to dig up spring bamboo shoots, you come to help me." Yang Yuhuan said.

Only then did Wang Yuan notice that Yang Yuhuan was carrying a bamboo basket in his hand and a small hoe with a short handle in the basket. Wang Yuan looked at Mrs. Qin Guo, and Mrs. Qin Guo said softly: "Go ahead, go ahead, help my little sister dig bamboo shoots." Remember, talk about the file well, and it will be written off in the future. ”

The spring breeze is thin, and the grass and trees are fragrant. The emerald green bamboo forest is lush and dense, the wind blows the bamboo leaves, and the dappled sunlight falls into the forest from between the bamboo leaves and bamboo branches, illuminating the light and dark in the bamboo forest, mottled and separated.

Yang Yuhuan walked in front with a small bamboo basket, Wang Yuan followed silently, and the two walked along the bamboo forest path to the depths. Looking at the front of Yang Yuhuan, the wind swings the willow-like waist and plump. buttocks, Wang Yuan couldn't help but think of the beautiful scenery that night, and reminisced in his heart. As a man, being able to sleep with Yang Yuhuan, who is known as the first beauty in the world, is probably a great achievement. It's a pity that it was a mistake, and it would be even better if you could savor it again.
