When Xiao Buyi first saw the half piece of jade given by the Red Whisk Girl, he felt that he had seen it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Although he has been fighting for many years, he has become more and more observant. Later, I thought of this kind of pattern, this kind of notched jade, and Meng Chenxue also had a piece back then.

It was an accident that he met Meng Chen Xue, but Xiao Buyi never thought that the piece of jade had anything to do with him.

The other half of this piece of jade was originally owned by Wen Yuzhou, he said that this piece of jade hides a big secret, when Wen Yuzhou liked Meng Chenxue, he gave half a piece of jade to Meng Chenxue, saying that Meng Chenxue could let him do one thing with this half of the jade, of course, there is a confession of his heart. But later, the Meng Chen clan was in trouble, Meng Chenxue originally wanted to ask Wen Yuzhou to make a move, but he didn't expect to kill Xiao Buyi halfway and solve the crisis for Meng Chenxue, and Meng Chenxue never asked Wen Yuzhou to help. Later, he returned the half of the jade to Wen Yuzhou under the pretext of refusing.

Thinking back on the past, like smoke and a dream, Meng Chen Xue glanced at Xiao Buyi a little shyly.

Xiao Buyi was also looking at her and said with a smile: "It seems that we are really a golden and jade fate." ”

"What golden and jade fate?" The three girls all asked in unison.

Xiao Buyi said complacently in front of the three daughters: "I think my love is stronger than Jin, and Xue'er got acquainted with jade, we were born as a pair, talented and beautiful, but it can be regarded as a lover and eventually a family." ”

Meng Chenxue listened to her husband's teasing, ashamed and ashamed, sweet with joy, she couldn't help lowering her head and taking a sip.

Pei Bei said: "Actually, it should be called Pi Yu Qiyuan." ”

Xiao Buyi was confused, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Pei Bei wrenched her face and said: "Someone is actually thicker than the city wall of the Eastern Capital, eating from the bowl, thinking about the pot, stalking and fighting, so that the beauty returns." ”

Xiao Buyi's old face was also a little red, and he said, "Well...... How can you grow a beard with thick skin? ”

Pei Bei sneered, and Meng Chenxue stopped doing it, "Okay, are you sarcastic about our women being thick-skinned?" ”

Xiao Buyi didn't expect this to mean, and hurriedly said to Yuan Qiaoxi: "Qiaoxi should know my mind." ”

"If you want me to say it...... It should be Black Jade Romance. Yuan Qiaoxi quipped.

"This jade doesn't seem to be black." Xiao Buyi looked at the half piece of jade with a bitter face.

Pei Bei continued: "Sister Qiaoxi, how do you say this? ”

"I heard that someone was originally the king of the mountain, and he went down the mountain to rob Sister Xue'er and chased him all the way to the grassland. What else can this person say, it seems that he is not only thick-skinned, but also black-hearted. ”

Xiao Buyi smiled dumbly, "Okay, you are a clever man, you actually bullied me with them, see how I clean you up." Come on, the family law is serving. He was about to pounce, but Qiaoxi hurriedly hid in Pei Bei's hands, and the four of them couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, Pei Bei asked, "Husband, you haven't replied to what Sister Xue'er asked you just now." ”

Xiao Buyi told the reason again, and when the three girls heard that it was related to Xiao Dapeng, they all restrained their smiles and thought seriously.

Meng Chenxue said: "Wen Yuzhou doesn't seem to know this big secret. ”

Yuan Qiaoxi said: "Could it be related to the treasure?" ”

Xiao Buyi said: "It's really related to treasures, then I don't care about it at all." ”

"Of course, you are now sitting in the Eastern Capital, looking at the world, and you are the richest man." Pei Bei teased.

Xiao Buyi said solemnly: "What is this? Even if the whole world is added together, how can the three of you be precious by my side? ”

The three girls were slightly stunned, but they felt happy in an instant. It is easy to ask for priceless treasures, but it is difficult to find a lover, they accepted Xiao Buyi's thoughts, although they are three women serving one husband, but they already feel content, after all, in this era, Xiao Buyi is really like Yang Jian, but it makes all walks of life puzzled. Hearing Xiao Buyi occasionally say sweet words, the three girls can always reminisce for a long time.

Seeing Xiao Buyi's solemn face with a smile in his eyes, Pei Bei suddenly smiled: "It turns out that someone ate honey today, so his mouth is so sweet." ”

Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly: "I'm just afraid that I will cover my head after eating lard, otherwise why will I always be beaten by Bei'er?" Heavens, earth, what have I done wrong? ”

Yuan Qiaoxi smiled: "You didn't do anything wrong, it's just that you should have come back an hour ago." We've been talking about you for an hour, and of course it's going to be a bit resentful. ”

Xiao Buyi remembered that there was indeed such a thing, but because the people were too enthusiastic, and the road met the red girl, he came back an hour late.

"It's a really good feeling to be missed." After Xiao Buyi understood this, he smiled happily.

Pei Bei smiled and said nothing more, the four of them fell into this short-term understanding and sweetness, and Xiao Buyi's mind still couldn't help but think about the piece of jade. Two and a half pieces of jade, Wen Yuzhou, Xiao Dapeng, and the big secret? The three Yuwen sisters? When Xiao Buyi thought of this, Pei Bei suddenly said, "Wen Yuzhou should be related to you?" ”

"Sort of." Xiao Buyi said.

"Among the three sisters of the Yuwen family, Yuwenfang married to the Turks, and her mother-in-law married her father-in-law." Speaking of this, Pei Bei pursed her lips and smiled and felt a little awkward, "Yuwenqing is married to Xiao Dapeng, and Yuwenzhi doesn't seem to have been married?" ”

Xiao Buyi remembered the knife in Yu Wenzhi's face, and said in a low voice: "She was slashed in the face......" He didn't continue, secretly pondering the relationship.

"My father-in-law has half a piece of jade on his body, and Wen Yuzhou also has half a piece of jade on his body, and the connection between them is, of course, the Yuwen sisters?" Pei Bei analyzed.

Xiao Buyi was also a general idea, nodded slowly, and was still thinking deeply for a while. Meng Chenxue has already said: "There is a secret in this jade, could it be related to the restoration of the Northern Zhou Dynasty?" ”

"Quite possibly." Xiao Buyi agreed: "Do you remember a letter that Sinan sent us a few days ago? ”

"Of course I do." Qiaoxi hurriedly said, "She said that her father-in-law was forced by Pei Ju and could only retreat." The mother-in-law was dissatisfied, so she left angrily. Will the mother-in-law find Yu Wenzhi in the future, and if the father-in-law still has love, most of them will also go to the grassland......"

Analyzing this, Yuan Qiaoxi has no way to continue. Pei Bei continued: "This piece of jade should be related to Yuwenqing and Xiao Dapeng!" ”

Xiao Buyi asked, "What's the secret?" ”

The three girls all shook their heads slowly, and Meng Chenxue said regretfully: "It's a pity that I gave the half of the jade back to Wen Yuzhou, otherwise together, maybe I can know more." ”

Xiao Buyi looked at the half piece of jade in his hand, turning it over and over, but he couldn't see the result, and he didn't understand why Xiao Dapeng wanted to give him this half of the jade, and he didn't explain it. Sighing, he came to a conclusion: "The secret is mostly in the grassland. My dad didn't say it to me, so he naturally had a point. Can the grassland ...... What's going on now? "I was groaning, and a sergeant came to report, "King Qiqi Xiliang, someone outside the mansion is called Mo Feng, asking to see you." ”

Xiao Buyi got up, glanced at Meng Chenxue, and hurriedly went out of the house.

Mo Feng and Arrow have been staying in the Mengchen clan, and when they arrived, they must have had an accident.

There were two people standing outside the house, both wearing felt hats and leather jackets. Although the two of them were dressed as prairie people, Xiao Buyi still recognized at a glance that these were the brothers who had been born and died.

Mo Feng was a lot darker, and when he saw Xiao Buyi stepping forward, he punched him and said with a smile: "Okay, you have no conscience, you left me on the grassland for so long, and you didn't care." ”

Arrow smiled, "I'm afraid you're reluctant to come back, right?" ”

The two still didn't change the habit of smelling each other, and the soldiers all looked straight at each other, secretly thinking that the whole world, there was still anyone who dared to punch the king of Xiliang?

Xiao Buyi didn't mind, and took the two brothers into the house, and couldn't help but ask on the way, "How is the grassland now?" "I haven't seen him for many years, he sees his brother, and he still has the attitude of a brother, without the slightest swagger. Mo Feng and Arrow saw the magnificence of the King of Xiliang and the guards, and they were somewhat in awe.

"Didn't you tell us to come back sooner? When Miss Pei arrived, she said that the situation was extremely dangerous, and let me and Arrow leave with our family. ”

"Your wife and son?" Xiao Buyi glanced at him, "Why didn't you see it?" ”

Mo Feng said: "Arrows and I both miss you more, so hurry up and go first, they are still behind, but they are all safe, and there is Lao Lao to worry about." What about Mu Ru and Ah Rust? ”

"They're all guarding the city." Xiao Buyi said: "When Mu Ru arrived in Jiangnan, Ah Rust was a guard in Kim Yong City. The battlefield is ruthless, and Ah Rust is not adaptable, so ...... I didn't let him go. Muru ...... When I went to Xiangyang, I also wanted to look for Fat Huai. ”

"That'...... Did Dezhi really become a monk? Mo Feng asked.

Xiao Buyi sighed, "Maybe becoming a monk is also a good choice for him." Right now...... The only thing that makes people feel at ease is the fat locust. ”

Mo Feng and Arrow glanced at each other, "Fat Huai, has there been no news at all so far?" ”

Xiao Buyi shook his head, "I can't see anyone alive, I can't see a corpse when I die." ”

Mo Fengrao was optimistic, and also worried: "In the chaos of war, there has been no news for a long time......

"That's really a lot of bad luck." The arrow popped up with a sentence.

Xiao Buyi asked the two brothers to sit down, and found that Meng Chenxue and the others had retreated, knowing that they didn't want to disturb themselves and their brothers to catch up, he did his best to Fat Huai, but the sea of people is vast, the world is so big, is it easy to find him?

The three of them sat silently for a long time, as if they were mourning for Fat Huai, thinking that the seven brothers were high-spirited and just wanted to establish a horse empire, and now they think about it, it is very funny. The arrow suddenly said: "The road is all chosen by yourself, life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky." ”

Mo Feng said: "But he ...... After all, it's our brothers. ”

"Can a brother do whatever he wants? Can a brother be exempt from responsibility? The arrow said, "We treat him as a brother, but did he ever treat us as a brother?" ”

Xiao Buyi waved his hand, "No need to talk about it, by the way, what are you going to do when you come back?" ”

Mo Feng said: "I want to be an official." Seeing that Xiao Buyi was silent, a little embarrassed, the arrow laughed, "Okay, Mo Feng, don't embarrass the boss." What we hated most in the past was those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, forcing the people to live in poverty, do we still want the boss to be a corrupt official? ”

Mo Feng also smiled and said: "Yes, we came back this time, but we want to complete the boss's unsuccessful career......" Seeing Xiao Buyi's doubts, Mo Feng said: "We want to open a horse farm and sell horses!" ”

Brother is so considerate, Xiao Buyi was a little moved, and said with a smile: "This idea is good, I will fully support it." Seeing that it was late at night, the two brothers didn't talk in detail, got up and prepared to rest, Mo Feng asked, "Boss, Miss Pei knows the danger, let's go first, but she ...... Haven't come back yet? ”

Xiao Buyi said: "According to what I think, she probably wants to see the strength of the Turkic soldiers, and it is best to help me delay the next time." ”

"Whether the Turks can catch them or not, Kaichun will definitely go south, and at the moment they are just killing a hundred people." Mo Feng analyzed: "Although the Mengchen clan is good to us, we can't fall out with the Turks because of the two of us. Now that we're gone, they'll be able to cling to Kedun in the right place. ”

Xiao Buyi nodded, signaling that he knew, and after the two brothers left, he slowly sat down and fiddled with the piece of jade in his hand. Under the light, a green light flowed on the remnant jade, illuminating Xiao Buyi's face green. Suddenly, his eyes froze, and he reached out and slowly touched the broken part of the jade, feeling something strange, Xiao Buyi fell into deep thought.

**When the snow and ice of the grassland slowly melted, the south was already verdant and green.

Xiangyang City is busy again.

The little snow in winter can't withstand the reflection of the spring sun, and it flows with the river early. In the early morning, Dou Yi and Xiao Mo were already very busy, dealing with political and civil affairs.

In recent times, Xiangyang has strengthened its armaments to guard against the presence of Tang troops.

Because there is news that the Tang army has already increased its troops and Wuguan, and Li Jiancheng has been attacking the valley and Cijian for a long time, taking advantage of the beginning of spring, he has divided his troops to the south and entered Hongnong County to loot grain.

Compared with the eastern capital, although the terrain of Xijing is superior, the cultivated land is limited by the terrain and is not extensive, which is far inferior to the grain and grass supply of the eastern capital. Li Jiancheng led the army and the Western Liang army to stalemate for a winter, and the grain consumption was serious.

Li Jiancheng may not be as sharp as Li Shimin, but his calmness is far better. He took advantage of the spring to divide his troops, just to attract Zhang Zhenzhou's troops and then seek a chance to win.

Hongnong County and Wuguan are in the north and northwest of Xiyang and Nanyang Counties respectively, and Xiyang and Nanyang are close to Xiangyang County, which makes Dou Yi have to be cautious.

Since Xiao Buyi occupied Xiangyang and pacified the remaining bandits, there were few wars in Xiangyang, and when Xiao Buyi sat in the eastern capital and approached Tongguan, Xiangyang was already considered the rear. However, Li Tang sent troops from Tongguan, and Xiao Buyi retreated from the battle line, but pulled out an opening for the north of Xiangyang, which made the situation in Xiangyang suddenly tighten.

However, although there are no outstanding generals in Xiangyang, the city is high and the walls are thick, so of course it is not afraid of being lost. Dou Yi received Xiao Buyi's order to properly send troops to assist Zhang Zhen Zhou to ensure the peace of the surroundings, Dou Yi did not dare to slack off, and immediately discussed with the officials.

Xiangyang Wen has Xiao Miao, Kong Shaoan and others, and Wu has Dong Jingzhen, Lei Shimeng, Zhang Xiu, Zheng Wenxiu, Zhou Muru and a group of Lang generals who originally guarded the south of the Yangtze River. Jianghuai has been pacified, and it is because of these leading generals who once pacified Jianghuai that they are quite capable. Zhou Muru didn't like to fight, so he went to Xiangyang to find the whereabouts of Fat Huai, and at the same time assisted Dou Yi to manage Xiangyang in an orderly manner.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Dou Yi went straight to the point and said: "I am looking for you to come here today because of the recent incident of Li Tangbing's invasion. ”

Everyone looked solemn and said, "Please ask Lord Dou to command." ”

Dou Yi waved his hand and said: "I don't dare to take orders, the old man is immoral and incompetent, but he has to be valued by the king of Xiliang, and he has always been responsible for guarding Xiangyang." Over the years, the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the old man has been very happy. But Li Tang brazenly raised troops, and today he got the military information, they have entered the two counties of Xiyang and Nanyang, and they have done evil, and the people have suffered, I don't know what your lordships have to deal with? ”

Dong Jingzhen said: "There will be a countermeasure in the end. ”

Dou Yi's spirits perked up, "Dong Lang will please speak." ”

Dong Jingzhen said: "Without him, it is nothing more than the words 'soldiers come to block, water comes to cover the earth'." I want the Tang army and our army to confront each other in three places, namely Kungu, Yishui and Hedong. Although Li Jiancheng divided his troops to the south, it was difficult to draw out too many troops, as long as we sent someone to find out their reality and divide the troops to meet them, and seek victory in stability, we may not be able to retreat from the Tang army! ”

Dou Yi was silent, and Zhang Xiu said loudly: "General Dong is really good!" ”

Kong Shaoan hurriedly said: "This plan is not appropriate! ”

Dou Yi asked, "Master Kong, what do you think?" ”

Kong Shao'an said: "Gao Jian didn't dare to be, but since the Tang army didn't have too many troops to go south, it must be used to disturb the morale of the army, Xiangyang is a big matter, and there is no room for mistakes. ”

Dou Yi nodded and said, "What Master Kong said also makes sense. ”

Zhou Muru said in a sullen voice: "But the Tang army is disturbing the people, how can we sit idly by?" ”

Dou Yi showed embarrassment, and said with a wry smile: "What does Zhou Lang mean by that?" ”

"When an army is sent against them, how can they be allowed to run amok?" Zhou Muru said.

Zheng Wenxiu said: "I think what Zhou Lang said is very reasonable, eat the king's fortune, share the worries with the king, the defenders of Xiyang and Nanyang are weak, if they are attacked by the Tang army, the people will suffer." We have heavy troops in our hands, but we don't want to forge ahead, if it reaches the Eastern Capital, I'm afraid that Lord Dou will be the only one who will be punished, right? ”

Dou Yi frowned, Kong Shao'an saw that there were many generals who supported sending troops, and it was difficult to refute for a while. Xiao Mo saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff, and said with a smile: "In fact, the problem is not as difficult to solve as imagined, since the Tang army does not have a large army, the defenders of Nanxiang and Danshui in Xiyang can be closed, and there is nothing the Tang army can do." We can send 5,000 troops to Nanyang to prevent the Tang army from making a detour to the east and attacking Xiangcheng. Five thousand troops is not much for Xiangyang, and the remaining sergeants are more than enough to defend the city. If there is an inquiry in the eastern capital, we will send troops and defend Xiangyang City, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”

Lei Shimeng said: "What Lord Xiao said is very reasonable, and I agree with it. ”

Dong Jingzhen also nodded and said: "It is indeed difficult for us to send troops to defend. What Lord Xiao said also makes sense. ”

Xiao Mo said that he was also a prince, Dou Yi seemed unwilling to send troops, so he could only give some face, and asked: "Then who led the troops to Nanyang?" ”

Zhou Muru said: "The last general is willing to go." ”

Dou Yi frowned and glanced at Kong Shao'an. Kong Shaoan hurriedly said: "The city defense is very important, and it depends on General Zhou Lang." Everyone understands that Zhou Muru is Xiao Buyi's person, if there is a mistake, Dou Yi really can't afford it, so he asked Kong Shaoan to dissuade him. Dong Jingzhen asked: "The last general is willing to go." ”

Dou Yi was pleased: "With General Dong out of the horse, I don't have to worry about it." ”

Zhou Muru didn't understand Dou Yi's kindness, snorted coldly, and brushed his sleeves away. Everyone looked at each other and couldn't say much, Dou Yi's face was displeased, and he slapped the table and said: "General Zhou Lang, the discussion is still unresolved, how can you leave without permission?" ”

Zhou Muru said: "I'll go to guard the city." He dropped a sentence and walked away, Dou Yi's face turned a little blue, and Xiao Mo said again: "I think Zhou Lang will also be eager to defend the city, and please don't blame Lord Dou." ”

Dou Yi's face sank like water and he didn't say a word. At this time, a soldier rushed over and said loudly: "Lord Dou, General Li's paperwork." ”

Dou Yi took the paperwork, unfolded it and looked at it, his face turned bright, and he even smiled.

Everyone looked at each other and asked, "Lord Dou, I don't know what happened to General Li?" "Li Jing has been confronting Shen Faxing in the Taihu Lake area, and everyone is also concerned about the battle situation.

Dou Yi said: "Great news, General Li fought Taihu Lake and broke Shen Faxing's water division, saying that victory was imminent, and he would soon rush to Xiangyang." ”

Dong Jingzhen high-fived and said: "General Li is really capable of what others can't, I just hope that he will come to Xiangyang as soon as possible and meet with me." ”

Everyone was excited, and Zhang Xiu said: "As long as General Li is here, why can't you break the Tang Army?" "Li Jing has won a hundred battles, and everyone has known for a long time that the conquest of Shen Faxing has finally made progress in the key surname, and they are all gearing up. Dou Yi instructed: "In this case, General Dong will postpone the dispatch of troops, and everything will be discussed when General Li comes." ”

Zheng Wenxiu couldn't help but ask, "General Li just broke Shen Faxing, I'm afraid he won't be able to come so soon, right?" ”

Dou Yi shook his head and said: "He also knows that this is urgent, and the letter said that he would hand over the conquest of Shen Faxing to others." He will take the iron cavalry to Xiangyang in three days, and then lead the army of Xiangyang to send troops from Nanyang to cut off Li Jiancheng's back road. As long as Li Jiancheng's troops can be completely annihilated, it will undoubtedly inflict a heavy blow on the Tang army. ”

"Then how did General Li cut off Li Jiancheng's back road?" Zheng Wenxiu asked again.

Dou Yi said: "Well...... But the secret of heaven must not be revealed. "Haha," General Li did not say in the letter, and the old man could not guess his way of using troops. If you can guess, wouldn't you be a general? ”

Everyone also laughed, Dou Yi knew that Li Jing would come, and he was in a good mood, and told everyone to pay close attention to the city defense in the past few days, be cautious, and just wait for Li Jing to come. The generals retreated, and Dong Jingzhen was about to return home, when Zhang Xiu suddenly caught up and said, "General Dong ......"

Dong Jingzhen was a little surprised, he was also the minister of the first righteousness, when he first took Baling, he was the first to respond to Xiao Buyi, and then fought all the way and was promoted step by step. But the two have always been business-oriented, rarely have personal relationships, and don't know what he tells them to do.

Walking over and looking at the pedestrians around, Zhang Xiu said, "General Dong, please take a step to speak." ”

Dong Jingzhen frowned, but still walked with him into the quiet alley, and asked, "I don't know what Zhang Lang will order?" ”

Zhang Xiu hurriedly said: "I don't dare to take orders, but today Zhou Lang will collide with Lord Dou, what do you think?" ”

Dong Jingzhen smiled and said: "This is also common, Zhou Lang will hear that he was born in farming, and he naturally feels the suffering of the people more deeply than us." He longed to say that the world was peaceful as soon as possible, and he had been looking for his brother, so he was short-tempered, which was understandable. ”

"General Dong said very much, but ...... Zhou Langjiang doesn't care, after all, he still thinks about Xiangyang. Zhang Xiu looked around again, lowered his voice and said: "But there is a person, I suspect that he secretly colluded with the Tang Army and wanted to surrender the city." ”

Dong Jingzhen lost her voice and asked, "Who is it?" ”

Zhang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and said word for word: "That person is Zheng Wenxiu!" ”
