In order to celebrate the arrival of Chu Tianya, Xiao Linglong and others, Meng De rewarded the whole army in Qingyun Castle and feasted for three days!

Meng De made no secret of his pride and love for this brother, and he deliberately made such a big noise, just to let the military and civilian people in the whole territory of Hedong know that Meng De and Chu Tianya are already brothers and their strength is gold. From then on, they will begin to create their vigorous career!

At the same time, Meng De also sent a signal, since Chu Tianya came to Qingyun Castle, Meng De didn't plan to hide it, he dared to be an enemy of the court and the world for Chu Tianya.

What a low-key, anti-suspicion, in Qingyun Castle has become all bullshit!

In contrast, the previous Qixingzhai's attitude towards Chu Tianya had always been a little ambiguous, not only wanting to absorb him as an official leader, but also being a little afraid of his sensitive identity. In the end, Guan Shan had no choice but to let Chu Tianya and Xiao Linglong leave Qixingzhai "temporarily", so as not to affect the whole village's acceptance of Zhao'an.

For Chu Tianya, these are two completely different treatments. In Qingyunbao, he felt an unprecedented sense of security and belonging, and truly had a sense of "home". Even Xiao Linglong didn't feel a little uncomfortable under the fence. Because she knows that Meng De treats people from the bottom of his heart with sincerity and courtesy. Especially treats her like a family brother with sincerity and care.

Because in Meng De's opinion, she is already Chu Tianya's daughter-in-law, there is no doubt that she is Meng De's sister-in-law, and he will treat Xiao Linglong like Chu Tianya!

……

The growing growth of Qingyun Fort has attracted the attention of the government. Coupled with the big banquet and celebration in recent days, the news quickly spread to Taiyuan City.

When he heard about this, Xu Han was even writing and approving some military excerpts. Hearing what his generals said, Xu Han's pen hand shook suddenly, and a big drop of ink fell onto the paper and shattered, splashing a messy ink flower.

"Are you saying that Chu Tianya and Xiao Linglong just took a team of people and left Qixing Village to go to Qingyun Castle and joined Meng De?" Xu Han was a little stunned.

"Exactly! In order to celebrate the arrival of Chu Tianya, Meng De rewarded the whole castle for three days! Many displaced people in Hedong heard that the West Mountain was loud and rushed to join in groups! There were originally many people from the Shengjie army and the Chu family army stationed outside the city, but when they heard about this, they were restless, and there have been several incidents of desertion in the past two days. According to investigation, those deserters were the army patrol soldiers under the command of Chu Tianya in the past, they were going to escape from the army and go to Xishan to defect, and several people had already been arrested! ”

"How can this be true? If you don't do it with a good officer or army, you want to be a thief! Xu Han was furious and took the case, "Behead the deserter to show the public, to set an example!" ”

"Yes!"

At this moment, Xu Han was a little flustered for no reason!

"Chu Tianya, a chaotic minister and thief, I racked my brains and tried my best to catch him, and let the party recruit troops and horses, after all, it has become a big problem, how can I be good?" Xu Han paced with his fists clenched, and said to himself with a tight face, "Guanshan will bring troops to surrender in a few days, and Qixingzhai has been divided, and it will only fall apart in the morning and night." didn't think about it, but Qingyun Castle jumped up again. really pressed the gourd and lifted the scoop, this place in Hedong can't be peaceful! ”

At this time, the doorman came to report that the general Yao Gu had returned from collecting grain and was out asking to see him.

"Please!" Xu Han's heart moved, Yao Gu is quite capable, has a high prestige in the army, and is very virtuous in recruiting and suppressing bandits, and is even better at dealing with Xiangma, why not ask him for advice.

Yao Gu went inside to pay homage and reported the grain collection in advance. Xu Han told him about the recent movements in Xishan and asked him what his opinion was.

"I can't imagine that this Chu Tianya is so hard-hitting, and he escaped to the West Mountain for trouble!" Yao Gu was also a little annoyed, that day in Huanglong Valley, he let Chu Tianya slip out of his nose, and now he is still depressed when he thinks about it.

"Qingyun Fort recruited Na to rebel and plundered the prefecture and county, and it is growing stronger and more troublesome, and it should have been eliminated. In addition, now that the imperial court has accepted Chu Tianya, it is even more deserving! Xu Han said, "General Yao, this official wants to send troops to attack Xishan, what do you think?" ”

Yao Gu pondered for a moment with his eyebrows tightly locked, and said, "The last general thinks that it is not very feasible. ”

"Why?"

"Right now, Qixingzhai Guanshan has agreed to accept Zhao'an, and he will bring troops to join him in the near future." Yao Gu said, "If we send troops to attack Qingyun Fort at this time, it will definitely alarm Guan Shan and make him change his mind." ”

"Then we just sit back and watch Xishan continue to grow?" Xu Han said, "Chu Tianya, a chaotic minister and thief, should not be underestimated. In the past, when he was alone, he was still able to turn his hands into clouds and cover his hands into rain, making the realm of Hedong peaceful, and even the heroes of the world such as Tong Taishi and Wanyan Zonghan were planted in his hands. Now that he has territory, soldiers and horses, he will be a great disaster for the country in the long run! If we do not extinguish it before it is burned, we will be guilty of great sin and have failed the grace of God. ――Therefore, the official thinks that now that the situation is changing, compared to Qixingzhai, the matter of Xishan is more important! ”

"Enfu sees the subtlety and knows the opportunity to respond, and the end will be admired!" Yao Gu bowed with his fists, rolled his eyes a few times, and said, "There is an inextricable connection between Qixingzhai and Qingyun Castle, which can be said to be intertwined and connected. If we openly attack one of them now, we will inevitably invite them to unite and confront us. It's better for us to hold it for a while, and after completely disintegrating and absorbing the people and horses of Qixingzhai, we will ask the official family to issue an order to close the mountain to go to Qingyun Castle to conquer Qingyun Castle, and come to 'destroy Kou with Kou'! ――Didn't the official family just want to close the head of the mountain, but it was difficult to start? It just so happens that if Guan Shan follows the order, then the two tigers will be injured when they fight, but we will sit and reap the benefits of the fishermen; If Guan Shan refuses to allow it, he can be killed in accordance with the crime of resisting the decree! ”

"Wonderful!" Xu Han's eyes suddenly lit up and he smiled, "These thieves from Qixingzhai are powerful in the mountains, even the Jurchens can't help it; But as long as they go down the mountain and take refuge in the government, they will be tigers with their teeth pulled, and they can only obediently obey my orders and let me drive them. This trick of 'destroying Kou with Kou' is really wonderful, even if he is unwilling to close the mountain for 10,000 years, and the holy decree is like a mountain, how can he be allowed to refute it? - Someone come, quickly send a messenger to Qixing Mountain to urge, let Guan Shan lead the people and horses to come to Shun! Sue sù He said that the high-ranking officials can't wait! ”

That night, in the original Hedong Xuanfu Sidu Mansion, Wang Xun was allowed to see his father for the first time in more than a month.

But I can only see a box of ashes!

It turned out that many days ago, only a few days after the battle of Huanglong Valley, Wang Yu had already died of illness. Xu Hanyan's news was kept secret, and even the people in the court did not know about it. Xu Han was afraid that Wang Yu's death would affect the feelings of the military and people in Taiyuan and hinder Qixingshan's plan to recruit peace.

In this battle of Taiyuan, Wang Yu's role is too important. Not to mention anything else, among the army stationed outside the city alone, tens of thousands of people were born and died with Wang Yu.

In the Battle of Taiyuan, the Shengjie Army, which was not particularly outstanding, fought bloody, tenacity and combat effectiveness, and also had deep feelings and loyalty to Wang Yu. In order to maintain the stability of the Shengjie army, Xu Han could only lie that Wang Yu was too ill to personally preside over military affairs, and issued many military orders to the Shengjie army in the name of Wang Yu, and finally stabilized this army.

Now Guan Shan is about to return to Shun, and the first person to see must be Wang Yu. The paper couldn't contain the fire, so Xu Han had to use some more means to let Wang Xun comply, replacing Wang Yu's role.

Before the ashes and spiritual position of his deceased father, Wang Xun, who had been under house arrest for a long time, beat his chest and cried bitterly and almost fainted.

Thinking of his father, who had died for his devotion to the country, instead of receiving the praise and respect he deserved, he became a prisoner of his subordinates, and he did not even allow his son to die until he died...... Wang Xun only has hatred in his heart, gritted teeth! I almost couldn't hold back, and I fought hard with Xu Han on the spot!

"Wang Xun, the matter of Lingzun, the official was also forced to be helpless, so I didn't let you know until today." Xu Han said, "You also know that although the imperial court has ordered your father and son to be arrested, this official has never abused or embarrassed your father and son. Helplessly, Ling Zun is already sick, although the official is trying his best to save it, he is also lacking in skills, please mourn. At present, when the country is employing people, I hope you can focus on the overall situation, serve the country, and share worries for the monarch! ”

"Tell me, what should I do?" Wang Xun is not stupid, he knows that people have to bow their heads temporarily under the eaves, otherwise he is very likely to be killed by Xu Han now. Expedient, save your life first. Sooner or later, settle accounts with Xu Han again!

"Guan Shan of Qixingzhai will soon lead people and horses to join the imperial court. At that time, it should have been Lord Lingzun to go out to make Guan Shan and the others feel at ease. However, Ling Zun Yaoshi has already died of illness, so this official wants you to come forward to receive Guan Shan. Xu Han said, "There is nothing tedious to do, you can just tell Guan Shan the truth that your father has passed away." Other than that...... The rulers have pardoned your father and your son, and restored you to office. ”

Wang Xun trembled and took the holy decree and glanced at it, and immediately knelt on the ground and cried.

"Festival mourning, festival mourning......" Xu Han patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "This official has done his best to exonerate your father and son." It's just a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and the holy decree came a little late after all, hey! …… Please don't blame the officer. ”

"The young general doesn't dare to ......" Wang Xun barely endured the pain and said, "With the help of the Grace Mansion, the spirit of the ancestor in the sky will also be grateful. ”

"That's fine." Xu Han sighed secretly, "Since you have been reinstated, you are still the Zhengyin pioneer officer of the Hedong Xuanfu Division, and you will be under the command of this official for the time being." In less than a day or two, Guan Shan will lead the crowd to surrender, and this official will let General Yao take charge of this matter, and you will assist you. Your duty is to dispel Guan Shan's doubts and tell him the truth about your father's death. Needless to say, the rest should still be kept secret from the outside world for the time being, so as not to cause the morale of the military to fluctuate. ”

"Yes......" Wang Yu quietly agreed to the promise, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva raw, as if he was swallowing Xu Han alive.

After comforting Wang Xun for a while, Xu Han left.

After going out, Xu Han gritted his teeth and said to Yao Gu - "This kid is leaking murderous energy, and he clearly wants to take my life!" - Keep an eye on him, don't let him do anything bad to me! If necessary, cut before you play! ”

"Yes!" Yao Gu's heart couldn't help but shudder: It's so ruthless!

At this moment, on the Qingyun Hall, the core of Qingyun Castle, Chu Tianya and Meng De sat side by side in the first place, listening to several Taiyuan army patrol deserters who came to defect, reporting the situation in Taiyuan City.

"In this way, Xu Han has rebuilt the destroyed city wall of Taiyuan, and also temporarily stabilized the military and civilians of Taiyuan." After listening, Meng De said, "But there is no news about Wang Yu's father and son, but why? ”

"I remember that when I led my men and horses to attack the Yellow Dragon Valley, Wang Yu was already running out of oil and running out, and he must have died soon." Chu Tianya said, "As expected, Wang Yu should have passed away long ago. In order not to affect the stability of the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in Taiyuan, Xu Han must have blocked the news of Wang Yu's death. As for Wang Xun, he is of some use to Xu Han and should still be alive. Moreover, this time the holy decree from the official family has pardoned the sins of the Wang family's father and son, and it is estimated that Xu Han will use Wang Xun again. But Xu Han will definitely not trust him, reuse him, and at most use him. ”

Ma Kuo, who was sitting at the bottom of the seat, slapped his thigh angrily and sighed heavily, "Wang Dutong!" …… What a good person, what a pity! ”

"Brother, what do we do now?" Meng De asked, "Guan Shan is about to lead his men and horses to join Xu Han, and I feel that Xu Han is not at ease." Are we just sitting back and watching Guan goats enter the tiger's mouth and Qixingzhai collapse? ”

Chu Tianya unconsciously raised his eyes to look at Xiao Linglong, and Xiao Linglong really looked at her. His expression is calm, and his eyes are calm.

It's just that because she is too calm, it seems very unnatural.

Chu Tianya retracted his eyes, since his heart had already made up his mind, he was also sonorous and resolute when he spoke-"The same qi and branches are dead and the teeth are cold, we absolutely can't sit idly by!" ”
