Xinzheng has fallen! The fall of Yangcheng! The Fall of Miyama......

The 20,000 Sui army in Piling collapsed in one day! The Wagang army attacked again, all the way like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, as if entering a no-man's land. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The news spread quickly to the eastern capital as if it had grown wings.

For a time, everyone in the eastern capital was shocked. And after the shock, there is an indescribable panic.

Yang Tong got the news in the middle of the night, and immediately ordered to rush the civil and military officials of the Eastern Capital to discuss countermeasures. Except for the three auxiliary ministers, as long as there were officials of some rank, they all gathered in the Jinjian Treasure Palace, in groups of three or five, discussing the sudden changes in Xingyang County.

"The situation in Xingyang County is so erosive, why hasn't there been a report so far?"

Yang Tong was furious and asked loudly.

The three auxiliary ministers closed their eyes one by one and said nothing, while the civil and military officials exchanged their heads and whispered.

Duan Da finally had a chance, and jumped out and said: "Weichen has long said that Xingyang County is not enough to rely on one Li Yanqing alone. It is reasonable to send a person with outstanding achievements in the first battle and a steady and old man to assist King Xun. However, no one agreed to it, resulting in today's ant thieves. ”

"General Duan, now is not the time to pass the buck."

Lu Chu opened his eyes and shouted in a deep voice: "At least so far, His Royal Highness King Xun has not sent an urgent document, nor has it indicated that Xingyang is in danger.

Now, there are hundreds of thousands of ant thieves entrenched outside the Tiger Prison Pass, and Li Reverse has taken the new Zhengyang City lightly with the strategy of attacking the east and the west, and the troops are in Gong County, but he has never broken through the Black Stone Pass. In such a situation, Xingyang did not rush it, which means that His Royal Highness King Xun is in the chest and there is no big problem. But General Duan opened his mouth and was in danger, and it was not enough to keep his mouth shut. Aren't you afraid of the cold hearts of the soldiers who fought hard in the Tiger Prison Pass and the Black Stone Pass? ”

"I ......"

Duan Da's face flushed, and he glared at Lu Chu hatefully.

But Lu Chu didn't care at all, stepped forward and arched his hand: "Your Highness, Xingyang County is not in a hurry now, Weichen's opinion." It's better to figure out what's going on over there first, and then it's not too late to make plans. ”

Duan Dadao: "If you wait for clarity to inquire, I'm afraid that Xingyang has already fallen, and even if General Lu wants to rescue at that time, I'm afraid it will be too late." ”

Lu Chu immediately sneered, "But it's better than the ant thief who hasn't arrived yet, and some people are scared to jump up and down." ”

"Who do you say is afraid?"

"Whoever is afraid, who knows ...... in his heart"

Seeing that this court meeting was about to turn into a vegetable market again, Yang Tong finally couldn't bear it anymore, got up and shouted: "Shut up!" ”

He took a deep breath, tried to calm the impatience in his heart, and then said to Yuan Wendu, who had been silent as if he was asleep: "Yuan Taifu, what do you think?" ”

"Well...... this"

Yuan Wendu opened his eyes and said in a calm tone: "What General Lu said is not wrong! Now that His Royal Highness the Ministry of Ministers has not sent an urgent document, what is Xingyang like? It is difficult to draw a conclusion for a while...... If you rush to send troops. I'm afraid it may not be beneficial to the current situation in Xingyang. But ......"

With his "but" exit, Lu Chu suddenly lowered his face.

This old thing, is it going to play that yin and yang trick again?

As soon as the thought arose, Yuan Wendu over there continued: "What General Duan said is not unreasonable. It is best to plan ahead. If you don't prepare early, when the battle situation in Xingyang is so eroded that it is out of control, I am afraid it will be too late to send troops. ”

"Old lady, what do you think should be done?"

The old minister thought that at this time, he would not save it. Saving without saving is the best policy. ”

Isn't this old guy talking about tongue twisters? Yang Tong was stunned at that time!

After all, he was only sixteen years old.

It is indeed difficult for a sixteen-year-old boy to figure out the thoughts of an old fellow.

Yuan Wendu smiled slightly, and the folds on his face were almost piled together. Coupled with his chubby image, Lu Chu subconsciously appeared in his mind the appearance of a Shar Pei dog.

"Old lady, if you have any clever plans, you might as well say it clearly."

Lu Chu knew that this old guy was holding it. However, what he said is not unreasonable, once the situation in Xingyang County is eroded to the point of being out of control, it is indeed difficult to send troops to save it. So, Lu Chu stepped forward and asked respectfully.

"It's a clever plan, it's just a little humble opinion, and I hope the public won't laugh.

Lao Chen remembered that a hundred miles west of Heishi Pass was the county seat of Yanshi. Since the sixth year of the Great Cause, His Majesty has ordered the construction of Xingluocang in Yanshi County. Although the scale of Xingluocang is far less than that of Luokoucang, it also stores a large amount of heavy grain and grass, and someone must go out of the town. Although Zheng Qianxiang, the commander of Yanshi County, was brilliant, he was negligent in military affairs. At such times, the guards should be sent to those who are outstanding in the art of war and have distinguished themselves in battle.

First, the situation of Xingyang County can be ascertained, and once Li Langjun is defeated, he will send troops to rescue him from the Yan Division, and he can come from morning to night.

What about the second point? If Li Shun and Li Langjun are willing to fight, then the soldiers and horses of the Yanshi will be able to deter Li Shun to a great extent and help Li Langjun.

In addition, if Li Yi is not Li Langjun's opponent, this army of soldiers and horses can defend the Yanshi and add another barrier to our eastern capital. This is a strategy that kills three birds with one stone. Old decay is also an occasional gain, and I hope that the public will advise. ”

I have to say that Yuan Wendu's strategy is indeed clever.

Even people like Lu Chu who don't approve of sending troops easily have nothing to say, so they can only nod their heads again and again. The brilliance of Yuan Wendu's idea lies in the perfect combination of everyone's ideas and the balance of everyone's interests. Don't you want Wang Shichong to get Xingyang? Well, with Li Yanqing in Heishi Pass, Wang Shichong may not be able to enter.

If you are worried about Li Yanqing's dominance, it doesn't matter, Wang Shichong will restrain Li Yanqing in Yanshi. It's an excellent idea, and everyone has nothing to say.

Yang Tong praised again and again, "The old lady really became a ruler of the country, and this plan is very wonderful." But I don't know, who can the old lady go out of the town? ”

Sure enough, it's a child!

Yuan Wendu almost picked out all the words, but Yang Tong still couldn't react.

There was no way, Yuan Wendu had no choice but to stand up and say: "Luoyang guards Wang Shichong, has outstanding military achievements, has a family history, and can be out of the town." ”

"The same is true of loneliness!"

Yang Tong nodded immediately. After that, he looked at Duan Da, Lu Chu and the others, "What do you think?" ”

At this time, who will stand up and refute Yuan Wendu's face.

Lu Chu rubbed his temples lightly. Xindao: That's fine! Whether it is Li Yanqing or Wang Shichong, they are not idle people. Let the two of them pinch in Blackstone. As long as Luoyang is safe and sound, and let them go......

A day spent in peace.

Blackstone Pass, ready!

Li Yanqing was busy all day, and finally got a moment of leisure. However, he did not go back to the military mansion to rest, but directly slept in the city tower.

"General, King Xun's envoy, arrive at Guanxia."

Li Yanqing opened his eyes and stood up. "King Xun seems to be there? Lead me to meet me. ”

He dressed up and hurriedly walked down the city tower along the gallop road, accompanied by Zheng Dabiao. Under the Black Stone Pass, a middle-aged scribe was standing and waiting. Du Ruhui and Xue Shu accompanied each other on both sides. As soon as he saw Li Yanqing, the middle-aged scribe hurriedly took a few steps forward and bowed, "Liu Zhouchen, the subordinate of King Xun, meet Li Langjun, a man from Li County." Li Yanqing recognized this person, who was from Luoyang.

According to Wang Mu's inquiry, Liu Zhouchen is Yang Qing's most trusted confidant and mastermind.

Liu Zhouchen's father is Yang Qing's father, Yang Xiang's retainer. Liu Zhouchen was born in the Yang family and grew up in the Yang family, in a later sentence, he and Yang Qing are hair, and because of this, Yang Qing trusts him a lot, and he can be described as obedient. Although this person is only a subordinate of Yang Qing, Li Yanqing does not dare to be a little neglectful.

He stepped forward and arched his hand: "Liu Gong, don't come to harm?" ”

"Lang Jun is polite, Liu is just a small retainer in His Royal Highness's mansion, so can he afford the title of Duke Liu?" Liu Zhouchen was a little flustered, and hurriedly saluted again.

Then he straightened up and said with a straight face: "Li Langjun, Your Highness has already read the letter you sent."

I wonder what the situation is at Blackstone Pass now? Li is against the people, have you ever arrived? ”

Liu Zhouchen had just come over from Xingyang County, so he naturally didn't know that Li Yanqing and Li Mi had already done it once. And before that, everyone's attention was focused on the Tiger Prison Pass. Unexpectedly, Li Yanqing sent a letter over, which made Yang Qing feel panicked in his heart.

However, Yang Qing also believed that this was just Li Yanqing's speculation, so he sent Liu Zhouchen to inspect.

Li Yanqing replied: "In the early hours of yesterday morning, our army has clashed with Li Wei's forward army and the Eight Winds Battalion. ”

"Ah, how's it going?"

"Your Highness Lai Hongfu, the Eight Winds Camp has been defeated by me and retreated to the Nine Mountains to rest. However, Li Yi is still there, and his main force is still there. He had just defeated General Pang Yu's headquarters at Piling. According to Tanma, after defeating General Pang Yu, Li Cheng rested for a day in Naling and was approaching Jiushan.

The last general roughly estimated that by tomorrow at the latest, Li Cheng would definitely come to Heishi Pass. ”

When Liu Zhouchen heard this, he couldn't help but gasp.

He also knew that Li Mi was difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect that Li Mi would be so powerful? Pang Yuhuo Shiju's department was stationed in Biling, and Liu Zhouchen had also heard of it. 20,000 Sui troops! That's 20,000 elite Sui troops...... Unexpectedly, it was broken by Li Mi's army in one day......

Twenty thousand people are not Li Mi's opponents!

Liu Zhouchen looked at the situation of Heishi Pass, with a worried look on his face, and asked softly: "Heishi Pass, how many soldiers and horses are there now?" ”

Yan Qing felt a sigh in his heart, and suddenly a trace of fear was born.

He is a man from the palace of the king of Xun, and he asks what my troops are doing? This doesn't seem to be in line with Liu Zhouchen's habit all along......

After pondering for a while, Yan Qing pretended to be mysterious, and said softly: "Don't hide it from Duke Liu, the county commander of Gongxian County, Chai Xiao and Chai Gong, immediately issued a conscription order after learning that Jishan was lost. There are 18,000 households in Xingyang. One household has two dings, and now it has gathered nearly 40,000 people. ”

It's not that Li Yanqing wants to exaggerate, in fact, if there are two dings in one household, it is not impossible for 40,000 people.

It's just that he didn't recruit Xiang Yong in this way, and basically recruited according to one household and one ding. Yan Qing had a heart, in case this Liu Zhouchen and Li Mi had a connection, more or less 40,000 horses and horses could also deter Li Mi. It's not that he is too careful, think about it, even Chai Xiaohe can be Li Mi's undercover agent, let alone Liu Zhouchen? People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. The so-called knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, even if Liu Zhouchen and Yang Qing are small, but in the face of interests, who can guarantee that Liu Zhouchen will not defect?

If Liu Zhouchen was not a spy, Li Yanqing's 40,000-strong force was not irretrievable.

At that time, he only needs to report to Yang Qing, the battle is too involved, and there are countless casualties, and he can almost cover up this matter.

Liu Zhouchen's face also changed slightly.

"Li Langjun, now Xu Langjun is in the Tiger Prison, but he is playing very well.

You also know that Your Highness's heart is always on your side. So before I came, His Royal Highness had instructed me to ask privately, Heishi Pass, is it safe? ”

Yan Qing heard this and smiled proudly.

"Outside the Tiger Prison, it's just a rabble, so there's nothing to worry about.

As long as a certain family defeats Li Yi here, Meng Rang Li Wenxiang and others will definitely flee without a fight. Please tell Your Highness that the Blackstone Pass is impregnable. ”

In his words, there was a disdain for Xu Shiji.

Liu Zhouchen scratched his nose and smiled. "With Li Langjun's words, His Royal Highness will definitely be able to rest assured."

Li Yanqing accompanied Liu Zhouchen to inspect the city tower again. Let him see clearly the high morale of the soldiers and the strong fighting spirit.

Liu Zhouchen naturally had to be praised.

After dinner, he led his men and left in a hurry.

"Yanqing, you seem to be very interested in this Liu Zhouchen?"

Xue Shui and Du Ruhui stood beside Li Yanqing, looked at Yanqing curiously and asked.

"In extraordinary times, I will doubt anyone who is suspicious." Yan Qing turned around and said softly: "This Liu Zhouchen's words and deeds have not shown any flaws, but he listened to my soldiers and horses, but I had to be a little more careful. Now that Li Wei is about to come to the city, I must also be cautious. That Li Yi's reputation is really careless, and he will catch his way. ”

Xue Shui and Du Ruhui glanced at each other, and suddenly smiled: "Li Mi is famous, isn't it Yanqing that you created it single-handedly?" ”

"Oh...... So, did I move a rock and hit myself in the foot? ”

The three of them couldn't help laughing out loud at the same time, and they didn't seem to care about the upcoming battle.

When Yan Qing embarked on the way back to the military mansion, he suddenly called Li Chunfeng to his side, "Xiao Lizi, you take my token and immediately rush back to Gongxian overnight to meet your sister Xiao Nian." You tell her and let her do everything possible to find out the details of Liu Zhouchen for me. ”

"Sister Xiao Nian, okay?"

"You just have to go, and everything else. Hugh asked. ”

This is also the difference between Li Chunfeng and Ma Zhou.

Regarding the things that Li Yanqing ordered, Ma Zhou would never say more; As for Li Chunfeng, he is more clever than Ma Zhou, and he is also stronger than Ma Zhou. It's just that he is too curious, and sometimes, it is inevitable that Li Yanqing doesn't know how to answer.

But overall, Yan Qing is quite satisfied with Li Chunfeng......

Liu Zhouchen? Liu Zhouchen?

Li Yanqing is no stranger to Liu Zhouchen.

But now that I suspect it, I think this name is quite interesting. Liu Zhouchen, these three words seem to have a mystery......

After returning to the military mansion, Yan Qing lay down in his clothes in the study and fell asleep.

When I slept until I was in a daze, I suddenly felt someone approaching, and I quickly opened my eyes and sat up.

But it was Zheng Dabiao who walked into the study.

"Childe, visit the Malay newspaper, Li Yan's army has arrived in Jiushan.

Its vanguard army is rapidly approaching the Black Stone Pass...... Childe decides.

All of a sudden, Yan Qing was completely sleepy.

"Can you find out that Li is the striker, who is leading the troops?"

"Qi Yu Gongzi, it has been discovered. The commander of Li Wei's forward army is the general of Zuowuhou of Nawa Gangzhai. Single pass, single Xiongxin! ”
