He Jiongyi stood in front of the county king's mansion, looking at the empty place where the plaque was removed, the dazzling pink and white was like a trace of a long time.

Tu Wenyong poked his head out of the door and said, "Lord He has feelings for this? ”

He Jiongyi was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "Where, just thinking about what kind of plaque is appropriate to hang here?" ”

"This is also true, Quanzhou City is the largest in this house, adults don't need it, it's not suitable for anyone to use."

He Jiongyi said secretly: No one dares to live in the place of royal power in Southern Fujian, and in the end, most of the possible surnames are still used as government officials. If this is the case, Xu Ruyu doesn't have to summon himself alone, He Jiongyi looked at Tu Wenyong with a smile and said, "Lord Tu, the lord called me, what is the matter?" ”

Tu Wenyong served in the army, but he was a member of the military and had never led a soldier, so he was not tired of He Jiongyi's title, and said: "Lord He is called like this, and he can't afford it." I don't know exactly what Lord Ho was summoned. ”

He Jiongyi listened to his previous sentence and muttered in his heart, as if he was hiding something else, but he couldn't guess it. When he walked to the inner house with Tu Wenyong, he saw Xu Ruyu dancing his sword in the courtyard, and he was about to withdraw.

Tu Wenyong said: "My lord doesn't mind. ”

He Jiongyi saw that Zhao Jingyun and a cadre of guards were watching it with relish, and knew that Tu Wenyong was telling the truth, and thought: Xu Ruyu has a high talent, which is unprecedented, and it is rumored that his martial arts attainments have long surpassed ordinary people. Stand there and take a closer look.

The sword momentum is like a smoke and a water stream, but the sword intent is gorgeous, quiet, like a star, the sword momentum is extremely slow, the sword passes through, leaving a faint sound of the wind, and a leaf of flying flowers falls at the right time, sticking to the upper of Xu Ruyu's soft boots through the sword momentum.

He Jiongyi only felt that many contradictions were very harmonious in Xu Ruyu's sword.

Xu Ruyu bowed slightly to Zhao Jingyun, Zhao Jingyun took the long sword from the elite hand next to him, closed his hand, the head of the sword hung to the ground, and said, "Thank you for your advice." "Leaping like a tiger, the sword in his hand is like a clear spring, a sword zigzag forward, like a spring falling on the mountain rock and flying, a sword swinging into tens of millions of lights, all to Xu Ruyu flowed away, but as soon as Xu Ruyu's sword momentum range, the bursting sword light went together.

Xu Ruyu was still at ease when he was dancing the sword, and Zhao Jingyun's extremely powerful offensive could not slow down the rhythm of Xu Ruyu's sword dance.

Zhao Jingyun's sword momentum was gone, the sword style and sword intent were still there, falling in the eyes of the people around him, the agility and lightness of the provocation, and the subtlety of twists and turns became more and more obvious.

Xu Ru stood still with his sword and said: "Although it is like the first flower and the late leaves, and there are many changes, but the sword is not thoughtful, and it is more upper. Ignoring Zhao Jingyun's distraction, he handed the sword to Jingwei on the side, and said to He Jiongyi: "Let He Gong wait for a long time." ”

He Jiongyi said with a smile: "I can see the wonderful realm of the sword, and I am willing to stand a little more." ”

Xu Ruyu glanced at him and thought: The expression under the smile is very bland. Integrate the fist intent of the ancient practice of breathing fist into the starry sky fragrance sword, and wait until the wind is completely gone, at this time, there is a hidden sound of wind at the beginning of the sword, which is not a masterpiece, probably in He Jiongyi's opinion.

"It has been nearly ten days since it was rumored that Southern Fujian has been rumored, and there are seven or eight out of ten families who have heard of it, but there is greater resistance in the western region of Putian. Xue Mingrui led 3,000 elites to control the situation in Hui'an and Haicang within three days, and you have made great contributions. ”

Xue Mingrui led the troops to Hui'an, and the 2,000 soldiers belonging to the He clan were all included in the formation of the Qingyan Army.

Yan Qingyi and Yan Xun led their troops to Nghe An, and after gaining control of the 8,000 defenders of Ngee An, they sent troops to control Putian. However, most of the family members of the Southern Fujian Guards were in Quanzhou, and Yan Qingyi was afraid that the army would be unstable and the sergeants would escape, so he just held the two cities and did not dare to send troops to threaten Hui'an and Haicang.

He Jiongyi said: "I belong to the division, and I don't deserve to be praised like this." The eastern Fujian region is mostly invaded by bandits, the family clan and the Gongliang Youqin are more or less a little blood feud, the western Fujian family clan is different, although the place is deserted, the land is barren, but there is far away from bandits, these more than ten years, the strength is relatively rising, so that its power is in the rising trend, it is also so, there are many families in western Fujian unscrupulously engaged in pirate trade, the Yan family is one of the representatives. ”

Xu Ruyu's brows furrowed slightly, anyone in front of him had this kind of humble tone, they were all old and serious, and he was very helpless, and he couldn't help but think of the ease and ease when he was with Youli.

Youli stayed in Yongyang and did not see each other for almost eight months.

Xu Ruyu said: "From the current point of view, Zongzheng Xunda colluded with Gongliang Youqin in order to suppress the power of the Mindong family, but there are still many doubts that I am puzzled by. ”

He Jiongyi couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he saw Xu Ruyu calling himself over alone for such a thing, and when he saw Xu Ruyu's faint starry eyes staring at him, his heart was cold, and he hurriedly put away a look of loss and listened to him continue.

"Zongzheng Xunda ascended the throne of Southern Fujian, and the Yan family helped the most, but the Yan family has been engaged in pirate trade for nearly ten years, and the situation is still carried out with the acquiescence of Zongzheng Xunda. Zongzheng Xunda holds the royal power of Southern Fujian, if there are no other constraints, there are naturally other means to suppress dissidents, and there is absolutely no need to choose a road of collusion with the Puji bandits to make the world criticize. ”

He Jiongyi sorted out his thoughts and said: "I'm afraid that the truth can only be understood by binding Zongzheng Xunda, but there is a strange thing between the Yan family and the Zongzheng family, which may be related to this matter. ”

"Tell me about it."

He Jiongyi said: "When Zongzheng Ningshuang and Yan Xun got married, they had already passed the year of Huaxin, which was very rare in the princely family. ”

Xu Ruyu smiled and thought: My mother also married my father after the year of Huaxin, and then I thought: My mother and father came together, and they went through many dangers and obstacles to delay the good time, is there any obstruction between Zongzheng Ningshuang and Yan Xun? I heard He Jiongyi say again: "Yan Xun is approaching the age of establishment, he does not want to marry, and he does not accept concubines, the previous generation of the head of the Yan family was angry, and passed the position of the head of the family to Yan Qingyi, instead of Yan Xun, who was ranked among the four masters and valued by Zong Zhengqi. ”

The marriage of the concubines of the family has always been controlled by the family, but it is not uncommon for the family to include the woman they like in the house, take a concubine first and then marry a wife. A thought flashed in Xu Ruyu's mind, and he was surprised: "There are hundreds of concubines accepted by Yan Xun after marriage, but the Zongzheng family is silent, it is a strange thing......" Stared at He Jiongyi and asked, "But what rumors do you want to talk about?" ”

He Jiongyi chuckled: "My lord is really wise. Yan Xun doesn't marry, and he naturally has true feelings for Zongzheng Ningshuang, but Zongzheng Ningshuang seems to be in love with someone else, so it has been rumored in those years that Yan Xun failed to spend candles with Zongzheng Ningshuang in the cave, so he let loose the ......"

Xu Ruyu didn't care about what he said, Zongzheng Ningshuang's body stopped in the courtyard, and in the early morning, the funeral woman found that Zongzheng Ningshuang was actually a complete body.

Xu Ruyu had a vague clue, but he didn't want to think about it anymore, shook his head slightly, as if to dispel the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and said: "The rumors stop here, she was the county lord during her lifetime, and He Gong arranged it to be prosperous." Turning to Tu Wenyong and sighing, "I didn't notice the collusion between Zongzheng Xunda and Gongliang Youqin, which led to the mistake of Qingjiang Mansion after the Battle of Fuzhou in July last year, delaying the opportunity to enter Zhangzhou, and leading to the Zhangtai tragedy. ”

Xu Ruyu is tolerant of others, but he is full of blame for himself, which also makes his surname look restrained and heavy, which is not at all what he has at his age.

In He Jiongyi's view, Xu Ruyu was pretending to be a gesture at this time, if there was no tragedy in Zhangzhou, how could the Mindong family have such a clear attitude to join the Qingyan Army? He Jiongyi looked at Xu Ruyu's side indifferently and was silent.

The horse's hooves hit the bluestone street, and after the sound of chaos, he galloped straight to the front of the house before stopping.

If it is urgent, the messenger will shout: "There is an urgent need to present an adult." Xu Ruyu waited for a while, but there was no messenger shouting, and he wondered in his heart, who was Pegasus? Hurriedly stepped across the moon gate, but saw Jue'er standing outside the courtyard with a red horse surrounded by several female guards.

The green fire soft armor wrapped the weak delicate body, the jujube red god was handsome like a flame burning behind her, setting off her face more and more bright and gorgeous, the small and delicate nose carved like beautiful jade oozed fine beads of sweat, a pair of water-cut beautiful eyes flashed with brilliance and looked directly at Xu Ruyu who was standing in front of the moon gate in a daze, with a trace of excitement and hesitation.

Xu Ruyu raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to her, and said, "Why are you here?" "There are surprises and reproaches.

Jue'er threw off the reins, pounced lightly, hugged Xu Ruyu's arm, tilted her head slightly, looked at Xu Ruyu's thin face, couldn't help but reach out and caress it, there were crystal tears hidden in her beautiful eyes, and said softly: "You are too bitter." ”

He Jiongyi stepped forward to salute and said, "I've seen Madame." But seeing Xu Ru stunned there, his wife stared at him but didn't speak, knowing that something was wrong, and he didn't know what was wrong.

Tu Wenyong hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The last general has seen Miss Jue'er. ”

Jue'er "giggled", pointed at Tu Wenyong, and said, "Tu Wenyong is too witty and interesting. ”

Tu Wenyong's face turned red, and he lowered his head weakly.

Xu Ruyu suddenly felt sad when she saw Jue's childhood, gave her a chuckle like a silver bell, cleansed up, and suddenly relaxed, took Jue'er's tender soft hair, pointed at He Jiongyi and said: "He Gong is the head of Quanzhou Mansion in the future, Jue'er will quickly meet with He Gong." ”

He Jiongyi knew a little about the reason, and he was not embarrassed by the misname just now, and thought: I just liked Miss Jue'er. Seeing Xu Ruyu promising in public to take the position of the head of Quanzhou Mansion, he immediately smiled, and stepped forward again to greet Jue'er, Jue'er hurriedly waved her hand and said: "When I come here, I will probably let Xiaoyu blame, and then I will have to carry more from He Gong." He shook Xu Ruyu's hand and said, "I'll come with Ding Zheng, the urgent letter from Qingjiang, many things need to be presented to you." ”

Xu Ruyu frowned, and thought: Ding Zheng sent an envoy to Nanning, and he only returned to Qingjiang recently, so there would be something urgent for him to come over in person.

Jue'er saw that Ru Yu was silent, and said softly: "Sister Youli asked me to take care of you, but you let me stay in Qingfeng." I resigned from my position to Qingjiang's side, I won't break your decree, what are you frowning for? ”

Xu Ruyu said: "Take Longyan, the road is extremely incomplete, if you do this again next time, I will let you stay by Youli's side and let her watch you." Then he asked, "What about Ding Zhengren?" ”

"How dare he ride a horse after he enters the city, it's still behind." Jue'er ignored Xu Ruyu's reproach, looked into the house, and said: "When we were in Fujian, we knew that you had captured Quanzhou, and when we passed Jian'an and Longyan, Feng Yuanyuan sent troops to escort us, and later met Wei Yan leading the Qingjiang cavalry camp to wander at the southeast foot of Fujian Zhongshan, and Uncle Ao Fang personally led people to escort us for a ride, how could there be any danger?" ”

Zhao Jingyun listened to Jue'er say casually, looked at He Jiongyi and smiled, and thought: Only Mrs. and Jue'er can let Feng Yuanyuan and Ao Fang send heavy troops to escort them so carefully.

Xu Ruyu was also happy for Jue'er's arrival, listening to her casual justification, laughing and silent, remembering the relaxed and freehand life when she was in Youli Huafang, only looking at her haggard face, beautiful as the eyebrows of Chunshan, looking at the sleepiness that could not be hidden by the eyes of Lian Yu, feeling pity in her heart, holding her hand, and slowly passing some cold breath to her.

Ding Zheng and his entourage saw Xu Ruyu and everyone escorting out of the mansion from a distance, and greeted them with sincere fear and gave Xu Ruyu a salute. When everyone entered the inner house, Xu Ruyu introduced the people of Southern Fujian to Jue'er and Ding Zheng one by one, and asked Ding Zheng: "What happened in the Central Plains?" What do you get from going to Nanning? ”

Ding Zheng put down the tea in his hand and said: "The Huo family's invasion of Jing County was severely defeated in Yuzhang City, and Rong Yanmen burned to death 70,000 soldiers and 80,000 people in Yuzhang City with a fire. ”

"What?" Xu Ruyu Huo Ran stood up, his face turned from blue to white, and said in a loud voice: "Huo Qingtong is not incompetent, how can he win his plan of the fire city, not to mention that Yuzhang was occupied by Nanping a year ago?" Hit his forehead with his hand, and suddenly realized: "Huo Qingtong can't sit still, he is eager to fight, let Yanmen abandon the people of a city, and he won't allow Huo Qingtong not to be fooled......"

In July last year, the old Nanping clan tore off the veil of warmth, and 60,000 elite soldiers brazenly entered the Jingbei area under the leadership of Rong Yanmen. The Huo family's invasion of Jingbei's army could not continue to advance half a step south for several years, and the soldiers were anxious to return home, physically and mentally exhausted. In such a situation, even with twice the strength of the Nanping army, Huo Qingtong still did not dare to fight a decisive battle easily. However, the Huo family was not willing to spit out the Jingbei region that they had eaten in their mouths, and the invasion of Jingbei retreated to the big city, but did not withdraw from the Jingbei region.

Rong Yanmen gathered 60,000 troops in the northwest of Jing County, and the small city of Yuzhang garrisoned more than 10,000 troops, and then commanded the water camp to fight frequently with the Huojia water camp in the river waterway, and the fierce battle was until the end of today's spring, and the parties were injured by each other, but Nanping prepared for the restoration for decades, and the potential was amazing. After dozens of water battles, the Nanpingshui battalion sent more and more warships into the river.

The Huo family decided to launch the Battle of Jingbei to reverse the defeat of the water war.

On June 12, Huo Qingtong led an army of 70,000 to attack Yuzhang, intending to wedge between the defense lines of the eastern line of Nanping and relieve the pressure on the water camp. Huo Qingtong gathered the army outside the east city of Yuzhang, it was night, the Nanping army in the city of Yuzhang went out of the city to attack the camp, the Huo army entangled the Nanping army into the city of Yuzhang, fought fiercely all night, the Nanping army in the city gradually could not resist and retreated outside the city, at this time, Rong Yanmen led 50,000 reinforcements to come, but ignored the original Yuzhang defenders, and went straight to the Huojia camp. There were not many garrisons in the Huo family's army, and most of them were tired troops who had just been replaced, and they gradually couldn't resist, and when they saw that Yuzhang had been captured at this time, they withdrew to Yuzhang City. Rong Yanmen used an army of 50,000 to block the gates of the four cities, and when Huo Qingtong was puzzled, fires suddenly broke out everywhere in the city.

In this way, the 70,000 troops of the Huo family were burned to death in Yuzhang City, and at the same time, 80,000 civilians in Yuzhang City were burned to death, and less than 1,000 people broke out of the siege and fled back to Jiujiang, the big city of the Huo family on the south bank of the river.

After listening to Ding Zheng finish telling the details of the battle of Yuzhang, Xu Ruyu's knuckles pinched "beep", turned his back to the screen and stood with his hands cut, silent for a long time, only to see his shoulders and back trembling slightly.

In the first battle of Yuzhang, the Huo family's troops in Jingbei were eliminated from two, and the remaining 40,000 troops could not prevent Nanping from fully occupying the Jingbei region. After the Battle of Yuzhang, the Nanping Water Battalion was even more aggressive in the river, and the Huojiashui Battalion battleships only dared to operate in the waters near the city.

Xu Ruyu suddenly turned around, took out the map of the fifteen counties from the high-necked narrow-mouthed porcelain vase, pointed to the top of the Linjiang area in the south of Jinyang, and drew it in the void with force, and said: "The Huo family will withdraw all the 40,000 troops in Jingbei to this area, strengthen the defense of the five cities of Yiling, Jingzhou, Jiangling, Honghu, and Hankou, and concentrate the Shuiying warships in Jingzhou, which may be able to stop Nanping for a while." ”

Zhao Jingyun said: "Adults can repair a book in their private name......

Xu Ruyu showed a painful look on his face and said: "It's useless, Mr. Yi's "Balance of Power", even if Huo Qingtong doesn't see the whole picture, he also knows the importance of Jingzhou's strategic position. The power of the Huo family is in the hands of Huo Kailai, and the failure to resolutely withdraw troops from Jingbei last year is an important mistake, and I hope he can repent of his mistake. ”

Ding Zheng shouted and whispered: "The Huo family's 40,000 troops have withdrawn from Jingbei, and the elite soldiers of Nanping will be able to drink the Maqing River." Mr. Shao, Meng Jiaoxi, and Bo Ying have transferred all 30,000 tunding to the current system according to the system, and Mr. Shao hopes that the adults will end the battle of Nanmin as soon as possible and return to Qingjiang to preside over the overall situation. ”

Tu Wenyong suddenly understood the dilemma that Qingjiang would face: the Qingjiang waterway connects Yongyang and Qingjiang, and its important surname cannot be ignored. Although most of the 400-mile Qingjiang waterway is in Liyang, there are more than 10 miles of Qingjiangyi winding in the north of Jingjun, and the safety of the waterway here cannot be guaranteed.

Tu Wenyong thought to himself: Did the adults have other ideas, or did they ignore this? The 40,000 remnants of the Huo family stayed in Jingbei to fight against the Nanping army, which was more in line with the interests of Qingjiang. looked up at Xu Ruyu, but saw that his eyes were strangely clear.
