Chapter 90: An Unbelievable Change (5)

"Report! Jingshi sent an urgent letter of 800 miles! ”!

The next day, when the soldiers of the southern camp of the Zhou army were busy with the celebration banquet after the victory, several dusty messengers handed Xie An a letter soaked in sweat and crumpled.

"My lord, what's wrong?" Liao Li asked in surprise.

In Xie An's cabin, all the generals gathered together, originally planning to celebrate today, but saw Xie An's color change greatly after receiving a letter.

"Something is wrong・・・・・・ "Licking his lips, Xie An handed the letter in his hand to Li Xian, the king of the Eight Sages, who was not far away.

After receiving the letter, Li Xian glanced at the contents of the letter roughly, just like Xie An, gasped in shock, and said in a lost voice, "You chose to send troops at this time?" - Yan Wang Li Mao! ”

"Yan Wang Li Mao?" A nice voice came from the direction of the door of the house, and everyone in the house turned their heads, but saw Liang Qiuwu leading Liu Qing into the house, and when they heard this, their faces changed slightly.

"Ahh Seeing Liangqiu Wu coming, Li Xian nodded to her as a courtesy, and then said in a deep voice, "Yan King Li Mao didn't know how to learn that General Liangqiu had left Jijing, and came to Jiangling to support us and others, and raised 100,000 soldiers from the northern Xinjiang and went south to Jizhou, saying that he wanted to help the imperial court quell the rebellion of the three kings, but in fact, ......"

"False Ways to Defeat Fools!" Liu Qing, who was behind Liang Qiuwu, pouted and said.

“… Li Xian glanced at Liu Qing with some surprise, but he didn't care much about her interrupting him, nodded and said, with a little approval, "Yes, it's a fake trick!" ― Qin King Li Shen has been raising the flag for nearly half a year, Xiao Wang doesn't believe him Li Mao has only gotten the news so far, the reason why there was no movement before, is just because he is afraid that General Liangqiu will sit in Jijing......" Speaking of this, Li Xian turned his head to look at Liangqiu Wu and asked in a tight voice, "General Liangqiu, how many people in Jijing know that you have left Beijing so far?" ”

Liang Qiuwu frowned when he heard this, and said in a deep voice, "I rushed to Jiangling under the pretext of illness, and this matter should only be known to His Majesty and grandfather......

"That's the news leaked!" Saying that, Li Xian frowned and exhaled, and said in contemplation, "General Liangqiu did not bring a single soldier of the Eastern Army with him on this trip, but even so, Li Mao still learned about it, and raised 100,000 troops to go south. ”

"Li Mao・・・・・・" A hint of embarrassment flashed in Liang Qiuwu's eyes, just like Li Xian is the eldest grandson Xiangyu's hair is smaller, Liang Qiuwu and Li Mao are also brothers and sisters who study martial arts in the same school, and even if there is no Xie An's appearance, she is not sure if she will marry Li Mao, the most brave prince in the Li family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, under the medium of the former emperor Li Ji.

Although Liang Qiu Wu only has feelings for Li Mao to learn martial arts from the same school, at least the two of them are also small, however, compared to Li Xian, the Eight Sage King who is worried about the Great Zhou Sheji, the ambition of Li Mao, the king of Yan, will never be much smaller than that of Li Shen, the king of Qin, there is no doubt that the two of them always pay attention to Li Shou's ninety-five supreme position.

"I have to go back to Jijing!" After thinking for a while, Liang Qiuwu said in a deep voice, "If Li Mao really raises the anti-flag and waves his army south, it must be our Eastern Army who attacks Jijing and engages with him, although my grandfather said that he was the first fierce general of the Great Zhou Dynasty thirty years ago, but he is still old, I am afraid it will not be Li Mao's opponent......"

For Liang Qiu Wu's decision, Li Xian can be said to raise his hands in favor, after all, in his opinion, although Ji Jing has Liang Qiu Gong and Lu Gong two famous veterans, but the problem is that Liang Qiu Gong is old, and although Lu Gong is only forty years, his hands and tendons were broken by Liang Qiu Hao three years ago, and now he can't even pick up a twenty pound halberd, so how can he go into battle to kill the enemy?

Speaking of troops alone, Jijing now has a complete set of 80,000 soldiers and horses in the four towns, which is not inferior to Li Mao's 100,000 soldiers in northern Xinjiang, and the problem lies in the fierce generals who command the soldiers and horses.

The battle of Chang'an, the battle of Jiangling, Liang Qiuhao's bravery is obvious to all, it is not a myth to form an army alone, especially on the battlefield, the lethality of a strong martial arts general can be even better than 10,000 soldiers and horses, especially in terms of boosting morale.

Although Yan King Li Mao is not as good as Liang Qiu Hao, but he has been named the first brave general of the Li family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he is by no means a waste of fame, in all fairness, Li Xian is really not optimistic about Liang Qiu Gong, after all, Liang Qiu Gong is more than sixty years old, in this era, at this age, the body is still strong and it is a miracle, but I want to ask this veteran to fight with the young and vigorous Li Mao・・・・・・

Li Xian sighed secretly.

In line with the thoughts of the former emperor Li Ji, whenever this time, the members of the Li royal family couldn't help but sigh that Liangqiu's family had fallen, if the two brothers Liang Qiugong and Liang Qiujing were still alive, even if Liangqiu danced south to help Xie An, how could Li Mao, the king of Yan, dare to act rashly?

Of course, this is just a thought, after all, if Liang Qiu Gong is really alive, the border general who guards the northern frontier will not be the turn of Li Mao, the king of Yan, after all, this uncle of Liang Qiu Wu and the biological father of Liang Qiu Hao is the best border general in the mind of the former Great Zhou Emperor Li Ji.

"The intention of this letter is also to ask General Liangqiu to return to Beijing immediately・・・・・・" Handing the letter in his hand to Liangqiu Wu, Li Xian Zhengse said, "At present, although Jijing has not started a war, but according to Shizuo's guess, Li Mao will not be able to deceive the imperial court, and he will inevitably change his plan and attack Jijing, so the imperial court has asked Liangqiu Gong to take command, and asked Lu Gong to be the deputy marshal, and the troops are stationed in Boling on the north side of Jijing・・・・・・ but the division is still not at ease, and wants to ask General Liangqiu to sit in Jijing!" The teacher seat in his mouth refers to the teacher who taught him the art of war, the former prime minister Yingong.

Liang Qiuwu nodded and said in a deep voice, "I understand, I'll leave to return to Jijing later!" ”

"The eldest mistress is leaving now?" Liao Li couldn't help but interject and said, "Yes, there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses of King Li Shen of Qin!" ”

The generals in the house were silent when they heard this, why was there still more than 100,000 rebel troops of Li Shen, the king of Qin, on the opposite side of Nanling, but the Zhou army still had the heart to hold a celebration banquet? It is nothing more than the arrival of Liangqiu Dance, which makes Zhou Jun feel at ease.

There is Yanhu Ji Liangqiu dancing, why is Li Shen, the king of Qin, worried?

Almost all the officers and men of the Zhou army thought so.

Suddenly, the situation changed, and Liang Qiuwu had to return to Jijing, which undoubtedly hit morale a bit.

And at this moment, Li Xian's words with a hesitant look on his face were even more concessional! The complexion of the inner general changes slightly.!

"In fact, I'm afraid Xiao Wang will have to leave ...... too"

"Where are you going?" Xie An asked in amazement.

"Koto!" Li Xian licked his lips and said in a deep voice, "Count the days, if nothing else, Wu Heng's Taiping army should have captured the entire Jiangdong, and this anti-thief must not be allowed to gain a foothold, otherwise...... I'm afraid Jiangnan won't be owned by my Da Zhou anymore! ”

"A war on three fronts?" Xie An was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Li Xian in disbelief.

After all, Li Xian's implication was to gather the remaining troops from Yangzhou to Jiangbei, and wait for an opportunity to harass Wu Heng's Taiping army and see if he could find an opportunity to recapture a few pieces of territory. You must know that Jiangnan originally belonged to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and once Wu Heng gained a firm foothold, I am afraid that he would have to pay several times or even more than ten times the price in the future to regain it again.

But the question is, can Da Zhou afford to start a war on three fronts?

The Jizhou Battlefield, the Jiangling Battlefield, and the Jiangdong Battlefield respectively faced Li Mao, the King of Yan, Li Shen, the King of Qin, and Wu Heng, the third generation deputy commander of the Taiping Army, and Wu Heng, who should now be the fourth generation of commanders.

These three rebel armies, each with no less than 100,000 soldiers and horses, fought on three fronts, even if they were as strong as the Great Zhou, I am afraid they would not be able to bear it, and if one of them was not good, it would drag down the national strength.

"This is the end of the matter, there is no other way!" Li Xian frowned and shook his head, as a member of the Li royal family of the Great Zhou, he could not tolerate Wu Heng's wanton invasion of the territory in the south of the Yangtze River that had been engraved with the mark of the Great Zhou, and he could not tolerate these Xiaoxiao who tried to cut off the territory of the Great Zhou.

"What about the soldiers? ――Take half of Jizhou away? ”

Li Xian shook his head and said in a deep voice, "The Jizhou soldiers and the Great Liang army are all left to Xie Shangshu, as for Xiao Wang・・・・・・ Xiao Wang is going to go to Jianghuai and transfer troops from Yangzhou and Xuzhou, although it can only raise about 20,000 or 30,000 troops when it is full, but it is better than letting Wu Heng ・・・・・・."

"Are you sure?" Xie An asked with a serious face.

"Of course・・・・・・ how is that possible?!" Li Xian couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, glanced at Xie An and said angrily, "Wu Heng has 100,000 soldiers, and Xiao Wang can only raise 30,000 soldiers at most, the gap in strength is so huge, how can you be sure?" However, it can give him a little pressure, in short, Xiao Wang will never sit back and watch him leisurely build a defense line along the Yangtze River! ”

"Dragging?"

"Hmm! - Xiao Wang is dealing with him, and it is not easy to fight, so even if Wu Heng has 100,000 soldiers, he can't help Xiao Wang! As long as Xie Shangshu's side can kill the last person of the Three Kings, Qin King Li Shen, as soon as possible, and quickly send troops to Jiangdong to assist Xiao Wang, he should be able to recapture Jiangdong! ”

"This ・・・・・・" was looked at by Li Xian with a trusting gaze, Xie An only felt the pressure doubled, thought about it and said tentatively, "Or, this mansion will go to Jiangdong to drag Wu Heng, and His Royal Highness King Liuxian is here?" ”

"It's not appropriate...... Li Xian shook his head, and said with a straight face, "It's definitely not to belittle Xie Shangshu, but in the Jiangnan area, Xie Shangshu's reputation is not as loud as Xiao Wang's, and besides, Xiao Wang has also made acquaintances with many green forest heroes in the Jiangnan area, if Xiao Wang asks for help from all walks of life, he should be able to get a lot of help!" ”

"That's ・・・・・・" Xie An suddenly realized when he heard this, and nodded secretly, after all, he also knew that Li Xian's name of the Eight Sages King was very popular in Jiangnan, and many people in black and white believed in this elegant Eighth Highness, and because of this, Li Wei, the former crown prince of Zhou Ai, has always been very jealous of Li Xian.

"Then it's settled!" Li Xian glanced at Xie An and Liang Qiuwu.

To be honest, compared to Liangqiu Wu, Xie An's pressure is indeed very great, after all, in addition to Li Shen, the king of Qin, there are nineteen soldiers and horses among the thirty-one Li royal vassal kings on the opposite side of Nanling, plus the 60,000 Baishui army of Li Shen, the king of Qin, the calculated strength is as many as 1340,000, and the Zhou army, the Jizhou soldiers plus the Liang army, is only this number.

It looks like a fierce battle......

Xie An sighed slightly, but when he thought of the existence of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, the pressure in his heart suddenly eased a lot.

Hey?

What about Xiangyu?

Xie An glanced around, and he realized that the eldest grandson Xiangyu had not shown up so far.

It shouldn't be......

When I learned that Ji Jing sent the letter, I had already sent someone to invite Xiangyu, why hadn't I come yet? The woman was the one who was most enthusiastic about this kind of chaotic scene・・・・・・

For some reason, Xie Anxin was vaguely uneasy, and hurriedly sent someone to the wooden house of the eldest grandson Xiangyu to inquire, and only after asking did he know that the eldest grandson Xiangyu was actually sick at this critical moment.

It's too bad for a sick place, isn't it?

Dumbfounded, Xie An, Li Xian, Liang Qiuwu and others came to the wooden house where the eldest grandson Xiangyu lived, and sure enough, they saw the eldest grandson Xiangyu lying on the couch with a haggard face. Beside her, Jin Ling'er was carefully diagnosing her.

"It's not a big deal, it's just too much work... After a long time, Jin Ling'er put the eldest grandson Xiangyu's hand back into the quilt, and frowned and said with a tone like the eldest sister blaming her sister, "How old is it, don't you even know about this?" ―Pregnant in July and August・How dare you go to the battlefield to blow the cold wind? Don't you know that your body is weak? ”

It was about the flesh and bones in his abdomen, and the usually conceited and flamboyant eldest grandson Xiangyu didn't say a word, lying on the bed, biting his lip and gently caressing the high bulging lower abdomen. Thinking about it now, she also feels afraid, after all, if something happens to the child in her womb because of the battle with Liu Qing, I am afraid that this woman will regret it for the rest of her life.

Of course, if this is the case, Liu Qing will never end well, after all, if the eldest grandson Xiangyu is really angry, it will be far more terrifying than Liang Qiu Wu and Jin Ling'er.

But even so, the glance that the eldest grandson Xiangyu glanced at Liu Qing still made the latter secretly frightened, and subconsciously stood towards Liang Qiuwu.

Can I be blamed for this? It's you who want to fight me with a big belly! I don't want to...

Seeing that he was innocently hated by the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Liu Qing felt that he was really a little wronged.

"Sister Jin, how is Xiangyu doing?" Sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a small hand of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Xie An asked Jin Ling'er anxiously.

Glancing at the eldest grandson Xiangyu with still a little reproachful eyes, Jin Ling'er said with relief, "Concubine Fang also said, there is nothing serious, but Xiangyu's body is weak, and she blew a cold wind on the battlefield that day, and she caught a cold, although it is not a serious illness, but she is pregnant in July and August, and she must not be taken lightly!" ―The concubine suggested that Xiangyu should leave Jiangling temporarily and find a place where he could give birth with peace of mind

It is best to return to Jijing ・・・・・・ so as not to be caught off guard when you get it, but calculate the time, it should be too late! ”

"So, Xiangyu also has to leave?"

The eldest grandson Xiangyu, who was lying on the bed, was slightly stunned when he heard this, and asked suspiciously, "Also?" Husband, who else is leaving? ”

"Dance, dance, dance, have to go back to Jijing......"

A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, and he frowned and said, "Yan King Li Mao is reversed? ”

This woman ......

What a sharp point!

Xie An nodded with a wry smile, and said softly, "I just received an urgent letter of eight hundred miles from Ji Jing, and Duke Yin hopes that Wu'er will return to Beijing immediately and sit in Beijing!" -- Li Mao carried out a false plan to defeat the enemy, under the pretext of helping the imperial court to exterminate the rebels of Li Shen, the king of Qin, and asked the defenders of the Jizhou border checkpoint to let them go, and you also know that the imperial court will not be able to lure wolves into the house......"

"I see!" The eldest grandson, Xiangyu, nodded suddenly in realization, and then pursed his lips and sneered, "Is Li Mao really ・・・・・・ bullying the incompetent people of the imperial court?" Such a crude trick can be seen through by a fool! ”

"The question is how to refuse... At present, the imperial court and Li Mao are dragging it, but according to Yin Gong, this matter will not drag on for long, and since Li Mao has raised troops to go south, it is impossible to send his hands back! ”

"That's right...... Li Mao has always been domineering! The eldest grandson Xiangyu nodded in agreement, and suddenly glanced at Li Xian, who was smiling at her, thought slightly, and said strangely, "Crybaby, you don't plan to leave Jiangling and go to Jiangdong, right?" ”

"Huh?" Li Xian was slightly stunned when he heard this, after all, Xie Anke hadn't said anything about him Li Xian.

"Isn't that easy?" Glancing at Xie An, Li Xian, Liang Qiuwu and others in the room with surprised faces, the eldest grandson Xiangyu said lightly, "Sister Fang Cai Ling'er proposed to let the concubine transfer to others to recuperate with peace of mind and wait for the day of childbirth, Lord Fujun showed hesitation and regret on his face, why?" is nothing more than wanting to use the wisdom of the concubine to help the husband Jun destroy the Qin King Li Shen, but at the moment, there is you Li Xian in the army who is not inferior to the concubine, why would the husband show such a color? - It's very simple, Li Xian, you have to leave too! As for your destination, it is nothing more than Jijing and Jiangdong, since Jijing has Sister Xiaowu in charge, and you don't need to interfere, then, the only place you want to go is Jiangdong

"Clever!" Li Xian was amazed and couldn't help but pat his palm.

This woman ...... It's amazing!

Looking at the haggard eldest grandson Xiangyu, Liu Qing was secretly frightened, she thought to herself that she couldn't deduce Li Xian's intentions from Xie An's expression and a few words just from Xie An's expression and a few words.

Xiangyu, the eldest grandson of the concubine...... Wise and close to demons!

Although he was very unhappy with Sun Xiangyu, Liu Qing secretly admired this woman's talent.

At this time, Xie An had already told the eldest grandson Xiangyu about his discussion with Li Xian and Liang Qiuwu, only to hear the latter frowning frequently.

"In that case, the concubine can't just leave... Glancing at Xie An, the eldest grandson Xiangyu hesitated for a long time and said cautiously, "Although Lord Fujun has a lot of wonderful ideas, Li Shen ...... Not a good one! ――Why don't you stay as a concubine? ”

"No!" Before Xie An could speak, Jin Ling'er frowned and said, "Xiangyu, don't forget, you are already pregnant in July and August, and your body is already weak, how can you work again?" ――It stands to reason that a pregnant woman cannot be contaminated with murderous spirit, which is not good for the young son・・・・・・ you will leave it to our husband, and tomorrow the concubine will take you out of Jiangling and find a secluded place in Yuzhou, so that you can recuperate with peace of mind and wait for the day of childbirth! - If you want the mother and child to be safe, you'd better listen to the concubine! In the last sentence, Jin Ling'er deliberately accentuated her tone, after all, in her opinion, there is no difference between the eldest grandson Xiangyu and Liang Qiuwu, and her Jin Ling'er's birth, they are all the descendants of her husband Xie An, so how can she Jin Ling'er tolerate the chaos of the eldest grandson Xiangyu?

"Then ・・・・・・ Jiangling here" Eldest Sun Xiangyu's voice lowered, I have to say that Jin Ling'er is also quite authoritative in the Xie family, after all, she is the eldest of all the daughters, plus she does not fight with Eldest Sun Xiangyu and Liang Qiu Wu, therefore, her words, Eldest Sun Xiangyu will still listen, not to mention that this matter is related to her most precious child.

It's not that the eldest grandson Xiangyu doesn't have confidence in Xie An, the problem is that she knows her husband Xie An too well, if it is a step-by-step battle, Xie An will naturally be competent, after all, his strength is to defend.

Defend until the sky is wasted, guard until the sea is dry and rotten, and defend until the enemy army attacking him is haggard, take the Battle of Hukou as an example, Liu Qing and Wu Heng were tormented by Xie An in a dilemma, and in the end, Wu Heng left Liu Qing and ran to Jiangdong by himself.

The art of war, with Zhenghe, with odd victory, a person like Xie An who uses troops in a decent manner, either a big victory or a small defeat, will not appear in a situation of defeat, he is good at defensive counterattacks, no accident should be able to grind Li Shen to death, but the problem is that Li Xian hopes that Xie An can defeat Li Shen, the king of Qin, in the shortest possible time, and it is best to send a surprise army to directly defeat Li Shen, the king of Qin, and this is not what Xie An is best at.

Not to mention the eldest grandson Xiangyu, even Xie An himself is not sure, after all, in his opinion, it is already great to win against Li Shen, and in the shortest possible time, isn't this forcing him?

And at that moment, a voice sounded in the room without warning.

"Is Li Shen, the King of Qin? - If you can trust me, I'll help you! ”

Glancing at Xie An, Liu Qing said lightly.

Everyone in the room was stunned, and subconsciously looked at Liu Qing, and then they realized that in addition to the eldest grandson Xiangyu and Li Xian, there was also a think tank that could be called a famous military advisor・・・・・・

And unlike the eldest grandson Xiangyu, he is a military advisor who is extremely good at using strange soldiers!
