Section 60

Hu Yanhai is the uncle of Yan Da, so naturally he doesn't have so many scruples, Wu Ming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The two of them, led by a maid, walked upstairs. Although he had been to Muling Pavilion once before, when he entered here again, he was still in a trance. It is surrounded by pink walls and green shades. The indoor verandah is carved, the tassels hang low, and the famous paintings are everywhere. There is a taste of the Han family everywhere, and Yan Da did this, and he took great pains to Xuanyuan Ling, Wu Ming saw it in his eyes, and he also sighed a little in his heart.

When he reached the second floor, Wu Ming realized that he was too careful. Upstairs, not only Hu Yanhai is there, but even Gu Zhongping is there. Hu Yanhai sat at a mahogany table with a happy face, not only him, but everyone in the room was full of joy. There is no other reason, because Nayanda woke up. He was leaning against the head of the bed, half-squinting. Xuanyuan Ling sat at the head of the bed, holding a verdant bowl in his hand, scooped up a spoonful of medicinal soup from it, put it to his mouth and blew it, and then carefully fed him to eat. Wu Ming looked at Yan Da's pale face, and he was relieved. It's good that he wakes up, so that he has a little more confidence in the battle behind.

What Yan Da felt in his heart, he suddenly opened his eyes, just in time to meet Wu Ming's gaze. The two of them exchanged eyes, and a trace of inexplicability flashed in their eyes at the same time. After a while, Wu Ming took a step forward and saluted: "Foreign Minister Wu Ming, I have seen Your Majesty." ”

Na Yanda gently pushed away the medicine spoon that Xuanyuan Ling had brought to his mouth, and said with a smile: "General Wu, we are also old friends, so we don't need to be so polite."

Wu Ming straightened his waist, but still said loudly: "Thank you." ”

The corners of Yan Da's mouth twitched, as if he was unaware of Wu Ming's deliberate estrangement. He looked Wu Ming up and down again, and sighed leisurely: "I vaguely remember that four years ago, when we met for the first time, it was General Wu who was just a guard leader with no real power. Now, four years later, you have become a prince. And I still have to rely on your snort to survive, and the circumstances of life are very regrettable. ”

Wu Ming saluted again and said lightly: "Your Majesty is serious, if you don't send troops to contain it, the situation in the northwest will be even worse, and even it is possible to fall into the Northern Han Dynasty, then it is possible to send troops to help." I am here to fight with you, and I have to thank you for your help. ”

After learning the true identity of Na Yanda, Wu Ming knew that it was impossible for him and him to become friends. The identities and positions of the two sides are too far apart. And with his current status, it is even more inappropriate for him to have a deep friendship with Na Yanda. The Northwest, the West and the West have become a series of their own, the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister are already extremely taboo, if they get too close to that Yan Da, although he is bright and fair, but the melon fields and plums, you have to stay away from right and wrong. Otherwise, if the two giants in Nanning are suspicious again, there will be a lot of unnecessary right and wrong.

Secondly, although he didn't think anything about Xuanyuan Ling, the marriage between the two was known to the world, and he was not a saint, so if he wanted him to face that Yan Da calmly, Wu Ming couldn't do it.

Seeing that Wu Ming was still not salty or light, Yan Da also lost interest in speaking. Glancing at Xuanyuan Ling, who lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to his eyes, he sighed and said in a low voice: "The origin is aligned, and the temperament is true." General Wu, I hope that in the future, we will always be friends. ”

He said it with emotion, Wu Ming's heart was suffocated, and he forced a smile: "It is an honor for the young general to be a friend of His Majesty." However, the most important thing at the moment is how to repel the hundreds of thousands of Eastern Mongolian troops outside the city to solve the urgent need. ”

Friends forever? If Northern Mongolia can't be unified, this friend still has to do it. But if the East and West Mongolia are divided into winners and losers, then Yan Da is ambitious, how can he let go of such a good opportunity to go south? But on the other hand, if the imperial court can really unify the north and the south, whether it is the prime minister or the queen mother, I am afraid that they will not let go of such an opportunity to promote the martial arts of civil governance. Presumably, Yan Da's heart is also tight, and when he said this, I am afraid that he will also comfort Xuanyuan Ling.

Na Yan Da didn't want to dwell on this topic, and said with a slight smile: "Even if I continue to be unconscious, with General Wu's ability, I will definitely be able to relieve the siege of Lanning." Now that you and I are working together, in my eyes, those besieging troops are nothing more than chickens and dogs. ”

Although his face was pale, between his words, he was still arrogant, and Wu Ming admired it in his heart. Nayanda can get the heartfelt support of Simon soldiers, but it is not for nothing. This belief in winning at any time is a unique charm, and these are exactly what you need to learn. Just thinking about it, Na Yanda continued: "Just now, King Xian has already roughly explained the battle situation. I watched Brother Wu act in a hurry, it seems that there must be a clever plan to retreat from the enemy, am I right? ”

This guy is really good at observing words and feelings, but he is truly wise and brave. Wu Ming's heart sank, but his face did not move, and he smiled slightly: "I can't say it, but I have an idea, and I need His Majesty's cooperation." ”

※※※ Yan Shuifen and Lao Shishou hid in a corner of the street, watching Yang Yi with a large group of people, murderously rushing into Bu Rende's residence, and after a while, they came out shouting, and the first one was cut by two soldiers, it was Bu Rende. Yan Shuifen looked at the arrogant Yang Yi, and couldn't help pouting: "This guy is really a gold medal fighter under Wu Ming, and he is indispensable for everything." ”

Several women chased them out of the courtyard crying, crying out, crying out for wrongdoing, it seems that it must be the female of the Burende family. But these people ignored it and walked away. Seeing them disappear to the end of the street, Lao Shishou smiled and smacked his lips and said, "Bu Rende was actually arrested?" Fortunately, we did not move, otherwise we would have suffered. ”

Simon's two mansions and sixteen divisions, naturally there are sixteen officials in them, but the real inside line is not Bu Rende. Ling Siyi, the lord of Xiyi, was eloquent and strategic, and he buried the nails a few decades ago, when the Liao clan in China and the West expanded rapidly, which invisibly gave him many opportunities, and Liao Qing was careless, almost overtaken by him. Na Yanda promoted his henchmen in Lanning, although he was much more careful than Liao Qing, he still planted a nail. It is extremely difficult for this nail to be mixed to such an extent, and Ling Siyi does not want to expose it lightly. Therefore, the usual transmission of information is through guò one-line communication. Even if it is Lao Shishou, he can only get information through a guò intermediary at a fixed place, and he does not know who this person is.

Yan Shuifen retracted her gaze and couldn't help but admire: "The master is really like a god, and he can even know their arrangements in advance." ”

Lao Shishou shook his head and said, "Wu Ming is very unfamiliar with Lanning officialdom, and he doesn't trust anyone. He is also a new official, and at this time when his survival is at stake, he must be doubly careful, and it is reasonable to strengthen surveillance. Budende didn't know what to do, so he hit his head and was caught. ”

He smiled and sighed: "It's a pity, if we had known that he had different intentions, we could have tried to contact him, so that there would be an extra dark line." ”

Although he said "pity" on his lips, he had a smile on his face, which meant half a pity. Yan Shuifen couldn't help but wonder: "That is the case, master, what are you laughing at." ”

Lao Shishou looked around and said in a low voice: "Did you notice it, Bu Rende was arrested, but the person who sent the contact was safe and sound. This shows that the information he conveyed earlier was true, and Wu Ming did not notice that the message had leaked. ”

This point of view is reasonable and well-founded, and it is also what Tai Benshu has asked Lao Shishou to pay attention to in the past few days. When they returned to their quarters, a pigeon flew out of their quarters, flapping its wings towards the Dongmeng camp.

After receiving this secret letter, Taibenshu read it over and over again for a long time, and although he was sure that it was correct, he always felt a little uneasy. He couldn't help but stand up, and sighed secretly in his heart, he used to stay up late for several days in a row, and he was still alive, but now he felt unwell when he didn't get enough sleep. It seems that he is really old.

Just thinking about it, the soldiers said loudly outside: "Lord Wang, the head of Lanning City shot Yushu." ”

Taibenshu was stunned, and said in a deep voice: "Take it in." ”

The curtain was lifted, and the soldier came in and respectfully presented a letter. Taibenshu stretched out his hand to take it, opened it and looked at it, with a strange look on his face. He thought for a moment and said to the pro-soldier: "Immediately order the leaders of all departments to come to the military tent to discuss matters." ”

The soldier agreed, bowed, and retreated. After a long time, the leaders of the various tribes came. Everyone looked at Tai Benshu who was holding the top, and their hearts were a little strange, and they secretly said: "Didn't you just have a meeting a few days ago?" Getting together today, do you want to fight again? ”

When everyone arrived, Taiben raised the letter in his hand and said in a loud voice: "Generals, Lanning City has issued a war letter to us, threatening that as long as reinforcements from the northwest arrive, they will go out of the city and fight with us. ”

Everyone was a little stunned, and they didn't understand for a while. After a while, there was a buzz below, and the pot boiled like a boil. Tai Benshu stretched out his hand and pressed it, and only when the discussion gradually stopped, did he say slowly: "Generals, what do you think?" ”

Before his words fell, Su Yunmuhe answered loudly: "Since they want to fight, then fight." Are we still afraid of him? ”

One of the generals sitting under him echoed: "That is, our army came from afar, was not well prepared, and hastily attacked the city, so that they won a small victory. It seems that they were carried away by the victory and wanted to go out of the city for a decisive battle. ”

Cha Ganheyi frowned and said, "General Su Yun, don't be too careless, you know that they still have 100,000 reinforcements." If we include the defenders of Lanning, we do not have an absolute advantage in terms of troops. ”

Cha Gan Heyi has always been cautious, and it is also a matter of character to say this, the director of the Military Training Division, Alatanqi, is not good with him, and he sneered when he heard the words: "100,000 reinforcements? That's just their boasting. Even if it is 100,000 reinforcements, it adds up to 300,000. And we have an army of nearly 400,000 troops, and many people have 100,000 troops, which is not considered to have an absolute advantage? How much does it take? Director Chagan is so daring! ”

The sarcasm in his words was extremely strong, and Cha Gan Heyi could naturally hear it, and when he heard it, he also sneered: "Reckless! The opponent's forces are at a disadvantage, giving up the benefits of the city wall, but only running out to fight you. Do you think they're fools? Now the city lord of Lanning will be Wu Ming. Although this person is young, he is old in the army, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has experienced a hundred battles, if you really believe that he is a fool, you yourself are really in the water of your brain. ”

Alatanchi was very strong, and even if he sat there, he looked like a rock. But he was not really a reckless man, and retorted when he heard this: "As we all know, Lanning City is in short supply of grain and grass. Our army has made a long-term siege situation, and they will definitely not be able to think about it, and now risking death to go out of the city is the right way. He glanced at Tai Benshu and sent a sycophant at the right time: "This shows that the prince's strategy to trap the enemy has worked." Our army is coming from afar, and the supply of grain and grass is already inconvenient, and the enemy wants to fight, so don't you fall into the hands of our army? Why, could it be that when the matter came, Director Chagan was afraid? ”

Cha Ganheyi snorted coldly and said angrily: "You ......"

Seeing that the two continue to fight, I'm afraid it will be another long time. Tai Benshu stood up and said: "The two armies are fighting, and the first priority is morale. Our army's initial attack failed, and its morale was already demoralized. Since the other party has issued a war letter, there is no reason to do so. Otherwise, the soldiers will think that we are passive and avoid fighting, and our morale will plummet. ”

After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "Immediately shoot a book to reply to Lan Ning, and say that I, Tai Benshu, agree to this proposal." ”

One of his own soldiers shouted yes and went out of the tent. He added: "The officers and men of the three armies are ordered to no longer need to save grain and grass, eat and sleep well these days, and prepare for the upcoming big war." ”

Eat and sleep? Isn't that a lax defense? Cha Ganheyi knew that it was inappropriate to interject now, but he still couldn't help but say, "Lord Wang." Wu Ming uses soldiers, Xiang Ai Yongqi, and must prevent them from sneak attack. ”

"What Director Chagan is talking about, I understand."

But it was clear that he had no follow-up. Cha Ganheyi frowned, not knowing how Tai Benshu, who had always been cautious, could be so careless. Tai Benshu looked at his worried face, and his heart was clear. But there are many people, and he is not good at explaining more to Chaganheyi. Wu Ming loves to use strangeness, and what he fought was nothing more than the idea of taking advantage of the situation to raid our army's grain and grass in a decisive battle, and now that he is prepared, how can he let him get his wish?

"It's hard to get a trick." Lead the troops to fight, with the right fit, with the odd auxiliary. Can it be used again and again? As long as you see through the other party's tricks and take precautions as soon as possible, you can make the other party suffer a big loss.

Tai Benshu thought to himself, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
