Chapter 46 2 Changes in the situation

Liu Yan sat in the study, although he also held a military book in his hand, he didn't look like he wanted to read it at all, his eyes looked out of the door from time to time, completely absent-minded.

Just as Liu Yan was looking out, Wu Sicheng pushed the door and walked in. When Liu Yan saw it, he immediately dropped the book and greeted him, asking, "How is it?" Any news? ”

Wu Sicheng shook his head with a heavy face and said: "Back to the emperor, there is no definite news, and finally someone saw her enter the Chu Palace, and she never came out again." ”

"Could it be that she was discovered by the Queen Mother? And then ??????"

"No, if that's the case, there is no way for the Queen Mother to burn the fire to His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and Qing'er will definitely disappear inexplicably." Wu Sicheng replied.

Liu Yan's eyebrows twisted: "This is strange, if it is not discovered, doesn't the Queen Mother care that her own personal female official stays in the Chu Palace?" Or is this the arrangement of the Queen Mother? ”

"It's possible, but it's not clear what they're doing it for." Wu Sicheng said and sat down slowly.

Liu Yan paced in the room and said word by word: "Whether their purpose is intentional or unintentional, in this way, our eyeliner in the Queen Mother's Palace will be broken, which is quite unfavorable to us." ”

Wu Sicheng nodded and did not answer. Liu Yan knew that he was really worried about Qing'er's safety, so he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, it's useless to worry." If Qing'er's identity is exposed, then she will definitely die, but if this is not the case, with Qing'er's mind, there should be no problem with self-preservation. ”

Wu Sicheng lightly slammed his fist on the table. "It's all my fault, what do you say about how heroic Abichlir is." As a result, Yang Daxia had to go to the desert to see it, otherwise he could ask him to find out Qing'er's whereabouts. ”

Liu Yan glanced at him. Shaking his head secretly. As Wu Sicheng said, since he came back from Youzhou, he often described the appearance and heroic battle of the Tuqi Great Khan Abichilir in front of Liu Yan, and these were all listened to by Yang Tao, who liked to hide on the house and eavesdrop. Now Yang Tao is interested, he has to see the demeanor of this desert hero, Wu Sicheng can't stop his curiosity even if he tries his best to keep it, and now Yang Tao is only afraid that he is thousands of miles away. Wu Sicheng would say such unconstructive words, which can only show that he really cares about Qing'er. Liu Yan stepped back from him and said, "You kid and Qing'er fall asleep and fall asleep, and they fall out of their feelings, right?" I've never seen you so out of shape. ”

Wu Sicheng hurriedly stood up. said: "What the emperor said is that Weichen knows that he is wrong. Just because the emperor personally approved my marriage with Qing'er, Weichen had to worry about his wife. ”

Liu Yan snorted in his nose, and said in his heart: I originally made a decree to marry to make Qing'er feel at ease, but I didn't expect to put this Wu Sicheng in it. He said: "This matter is urgent, I can only inquire slowly, there will always be news if people are still alive." If we show too much concern about this, we will put Qing'er in danger. ”

"Yes, Emperor Mingjian."

"Start now. The information on the Queen Mother's side needs to find another way. This old thing has been quieter lately, is it planning some bigger conspiracy? ”

Wu Sichang let out a long breath, and after recovering his emotions, he replied, "Back to the emperor's words." According to what Qing'er said the day before yesterday, the Queen Mother has recently died down. It seems to have sensed that we are overly well informed, and it seems that we should be patient enough to lure the snake out of the hole. Then again, we have lost the line of Qing'er. The Queen Mother also needs to find a liaison with the outside world again, according to Qing'er's intelligence. There is no better and more trusted maid in Yanxi Palace than her, if the Queen Mother wants to use people. Then this person is probably much easier to deal with than the previous Qing'er, so the Queen Mother will definitely be extra careful in her recent actions. ”

"I understand that I only want to capture the evidence of her collusion with the enemy's country, and it will be easy to catch this."

"Back to the emperor, the intelligence line established by the Queen Mother, Weichen has basically mastered it, and as long as they start to act, they can capture it in one fell swoop. But the biggest problem is the line of contact with the palace, originally we had Qing'er's identity card to save a lot of trouble, but now it is a little tricky, as long as the person does not recognize it, it is difficult for us to get involved with the queen mother. ”

Liu Yan nodded and said, "Then what if Tuqi takes the initiative to contact the Queen Mother?" ”

Wu Sicheng shook his head: "The Turks took the line of Han Kemin, and in the end, it was Qing'er's line that brought the news to the palace. ”

Liu Yan sighed, Qing'er's disappearance is really a huge loss, but it is impossible to think about it now, he was originally going to close the net and bring down the Queen Mother in the near future, but now he can only continue to postpone. Thinking of this, Liu Yan couldn't help but feel a little upset, so he asked, "What has happened to Abicheril recently?" ”

Wu Sicheng hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, Tuqi has been harassing all parts of my border in the past few months, but the scale is not large, it seems to be a tentative attack, and he wants to master the topography, hydrology, and troop allocation of our border. However, it is strange that they have hardly ever launched a military campaign against Youzhou. ”

Liu Yan nodded and said, "They know the truth about Youzhou very well, and there is no need to spend any more troops to investigate." ”

Wu Sicheng shook his head and said: "Weichen doesn't think so, when Weichen used Lord Yang Lian's name to infiltrate the Tuqi Army, Abichelier hated Weichen to the core, since he knew that Lord Yang Lian was in Youzhou, he would definitely not let it go easily." ”

"Are you saying that he deliberately created a smoke screen, but in fact he wanted to attack Youzhou again? You kid left Yang Lian a big scourge. ”

Wu Sicheng smiled bitterly and said, "Wechen is thinking, if Wechen is Abicheril, I'm afraid it won't really attack Youzhou." Although the capture of Youzhou can cut off the connection between Liaodong and us, it is actually of little value, Tuqi is not good at water warfare, and due to the limitations of Youzhou's waterways, it is difficult to give full play to the advantages of cavalry, which they should have learned in the last war. Moreover, they will be attacked by the east, west and south, and the cavalry cannot play, and the turks who are not good at defense will not be able to really stay in this land. In contrast, it was more in their interests to threaten the Jingshi from Taiyuan into Hejian Mansion, and at the same time, it was more in the interests of the Queen Mother. Feint to attack all places, take Youzhou, and then raid Taiyuan after fishing out the defenders of Taiyuan. If Wechen were Abicherier, he might have used this strategy. ”

Liu Yan nodded again and again after hearing this, and said: "Or attacking from the Hetao area is also an option, although the castle is densely fortified, there is a lack of generals with unified command, and it is difficult to organize large-scale military operations." ”

"Your Majesty, there is indeed such a possibility."

Liu Yan sat on the dragon chair and muttered, "It seems that it is necessary to strengthen the defenses of these two places, so as not to lose anything." Other than that, that's the problem of Liaodong. Can Su Chengdong stabilize the situation there? ”

Wu Sicheng didn't answer, he was more worried about another person than Su Chengdong, the Wang Hanxin who proposed to him to end the household. (To be continued......)
