……

In the Dingzhou Governor's Palace, Governors Wei Wenran and Xu Wenjing were discussing with Yu Dingzhou's generals how to deal with the advance of the Shangguan family's hundreds of thousands of troops.

In the more than 20 days since Xu Wenjing arrived at the Dingzhou Governor's Mansion, he took advantage of the contradictions between the Shangguan family and the Wei family to order the personnel of the Intelligence Department to secretly sow discord between the two armies, and constantly frantically probe on the edge of the war.

Thanks to the unremitting efforts of Xu Wenjing and the personnel of the Intelligence Department, the contradictions between the two armies directly escalated, from meeting and insulting each other to drinking and brawling to collective brawls.

In the end, because a flag general in the Shangguan army was stabbed to death by the soldiers of the Governor's Mansion twenty-eight times on the way to visit the Qinglou, the war broke out completely as Xu Wenjing expected......

The war went unusually smoothly, and the soldiers and horses of the Governor's Palace were quite stable - losing twenty-two battles in a row and losing eleven cities. That is to say, during the more than 20 days that Xu Wenjing arrived in Dingzhou, the Dingzhou army was losing battles every day, and they were losing cities and abandoning villages every day.

This can make Wei Wenran, who wants to appease Shangguan Fei's father and son, anxious, is to turn around, Shangguan Fei and Shangguan Yun's hundreds of thousands of troops have already reached the capital of Dingzhou, Dingyang City, two hundred miles in front of it, if they are allowed to capture the Dingyang barrier and Linyuan Pass, then the situation in Dingzhou has basically been completely controlled by the Shangguan family, and he can only go to Yuanzhou to find Jiang Xun to seek refuge.

"What to do, what to do......"

Wei Wenran's face was full of sadness, and he was anxious in the palace hall, constantly pacing back and forth to express his uneasiness.

"Report ~ Xingyang Urgent Report ......"

At this moment, there was another breathless call from outside the Governor's Palace.

"Say!" Wei Wenran said hurriedly.

The herald panted and wiped the beads of sweat that fell from his cheeks and said: "General Zhuang came to report that the Xingyang defenders were defeated by the army of Xing Feng, the commander of Shangguan Fei's department, and they had retreated to Linyuan Pass and Xingyang yesterday, and they had fallen......"

"What!" When Wei Wenran heard this, he immediately roared, "Zhuang Qing obviously has a full flag regiment in his hands, and there are 10,000 local officers and soldiers in Xingyang to help, why did he lose so quickly!" ”

The herald was so frightened that he lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly, so he just said: "General Zhuang said that Xingfeng's department was extremely brave, and he kept attacking Xingyang day and night, and he was ......."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Xu Wenjing, who was sitting in a corner, and plucked up the courage to continue to speak to Wei Wenran: "I also used the siege tower that only the Jizhou army has, so ......"

"Get down, keep probing......" Wei Wenran waved his hand angrily to let the herald go down.

Xu Wenjing watched the herald leave, and then looked at Wei Wenran, who was angry but fearful, sneered imperceptibly, picked up the teacup in front of the case, drank a sip of water, and said in his heart: "According to the words of the military governor, this Wei Wenran's current performance is a drama ......."

"Stand down, step up the fortifications!" Wei Wenran drove everyone out of the hall in an impetuous manner, and soon only he and Xu Wenjing were left in the hall.

After it was confirmed that all the generals in the mansion had left, Wei Wenran did not leave the attendants, and only then did he calm down and Xu Wenjing said: "Master Military Division, the current situation is developing according to your preset, but can this really annihilate the rebels of the Shangguan family?" ”

Xu Wenjing arched his hand and smiled: "Your Excellency, you can rest assured, since you support the Governor so much, how can it harm you?" What's more, the Shangguan family's control of Dingzhou is not half beneficial to the Military Governor's Mansion......"

Wei Wenran thought for a moment, and continued to say in embarrassment: "But now there are only 60,000 soldiers and horses available in the hands of this governor, and there are 270,000 in the hands of Shangguan Fei's father and son. ”

Xu Wenjing said: "Didn't the Governor send someone to the Yuanzhou Governor's Mansion to move the rescue troops?" It's time to go to Yuanzhou City, right? ”

Wei Wenran sighed and said, "It's difficult, I'm afraid that Governor Jiang doesn't have so many soldiers and horses to mobilize......"

Xu Wenjing thought for a while and said, "No, Governor Jiang must have received a distress letter from the Dingzhou Governor's Mansion by now, and he will definitely send troops to ......."

Wei Wenran said curiously: "Oh? Why are the military advisors so confident? ”

Xu Wenjing shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Excellency the Governor doesn't need to ask more, you will naturally see each other from time to time." ”

……

Yuanzhou Han Mausoleum, Liu Ce's Mansion......

"Sister, even if I beg you, brother, tell Miss Xue and let me see her, okay?"

"Sister Xue said that she was afraid of seeing people, especially men, so you better stop pestering her......

Song Jinghao and Song Yanran sat in the living room, only to see Song Jinghao's face full of sadness, and kept begging Song Yanran to let him see Xue Moyi.

More than half a month ago, Song Jinghao was ordered by his father Song Lian to come to Liu Ce's house in Hanling with a large bag and a small bag to enhance his family relationship with his cousin Song Yanran......

When he looked at the woman who was playing the piano, Song Jinghao was stunned on the spot like a lightning strike, the woman was so beautiful that she couldn't describe it in words.

Under a closer look, Xue Moyi's skin is as translucent as ice and snow, her peerless face is dotted with a trace of sadness, and there is a trace of sadness in her beautiful eyes under her eyelashes, which makes Song Jinghao feel a sense of pity.

Just after a song, Song Jinghao came back to his senses and straightened his clothes, and was just about to step forward to say hello, but when Xue Moyi found out that he was there, he turned around and ran back to the house in horror.

Song Jinghao looked at the departing figure of the beautiful woman, and his heart couldn't calm down for a long time, and he forgot the purpose of this trip for a while.

Later, after learning from Song Yanran that Xue Moyi just had nowhere to go, temporarily lived in Liu Ce's mansion, and had nothing to do with Liu Ce, her mind immediately became active, and she wanted to get close to Xue Moyi several times.

However, Xue Moyi closed the door again and again, and when he saw Song Jinghao, he stayed away, not giving him any chance to contact him at all, which made Song Jinghao feel extremely tormented, and he couldn't sleep at night for several days......

Song Jinghao knew that he was really in love with that sad woman, and every time he thought of her figure, he couldn't help but feel the urge to sacrifice his life to protect her, which was completely different from the scene when he met Jiang Ruoyan.

Since it was not possible to meet directly, Song Jinghao hit his cousin Song Yanran with the idea, and wanted Song Yanran to match him with Xue Moyi, which led to this current situation.

Hearing that Song Yanran refused, Song Jinghao was not discouraged, put a bunch of gifts on the table and said to her: "Sister, these are the intentions of my brother, you accept it, it's just that my brother can you beg you to talk about it, let me meet Miss Xue......"

Song Yanran glanced at the big bags and small bags on the table, then poured herself a glass of water and said lightly: "This matter is impossible, you better take these things back......"

"Sister......" Song Jinghao said to Song Yanran in a pleading tone: "Brother beg, let me see Miss Xue, I know you must be complaining about me in your heart, but although my brother is indifferent to you, he has never bullied you.

Remember when you moved out of the Song ...... When I was in the beast's mansion, my brother asked someone to send you food and clothing, sister, my brother knelt down for you, okay......"

Speaking of this, Song Jinghao really left the chair and knelt down heavily in front of Song Yanran.

Song Yanran frowned, and hurriedly said, "Cousin, you get up and ......"

"I'm not up!" Song Jinghao said resolutely, "Sister, you are willing to call me a cousin, my brother is very happy in my heart, since you have recognized me as an elder brother, can you please relieve my brother's lovesickness?"

I, Song Jinghao, am twenty or fourteen years old this year, my father urges me to marry every day, and he wants me to marry the Mu family, I have already accepted my fate, but after seeing Miss Xue, I realized that I really like him,

Inspector ...... My brother-in-law's words are right, people should have the right to pursue their own happiness, and they can't be swayed by fate, so please ask my sister to give my brother a chance, okay? Go talk to Miss Xue and let me meet him......"
