Since Jiao Yu left home with Mu Fen, there have been many more people in the Yamen of Zhizhou Mansion. Of course, this is not to say that they all live in the yamen, but that there are a lot of visitors coming and going.

"Young master, why did you come to the yamen today?"

Not only his appearance, but Mu Qin's figure and temperament are very similar to Mu Yan. If it weren't for the childishness that could be seen on his face, I am afraid that many people would regard Mu Qin as Mu Yan's brother, rather than a father-son relationship. In addition, Mu Qin is good at martial arts, so his reputation among the military and civilians in Shenzhou is very high.

In the past, Mu Yan only asked Mu Qin to listen to government affairs with him, but after yesterday's test, Mu Qin was able to listen to military affairs with him.

Seeing that it was Gou Yan, the chief soldier of Shenzhou, who greeted him, Mu Qin grinned, showed a mouth full of white teeth and said: "Hello Gou Zongbing, today my father asked Mu Qin to follow him to learn military affairs." ”

"Studying military affairs? This is long overdue, the young master must be a model for Jiangmen Huzi in the future. ”

Gou Yan is not very old, he only celebrated his twenty-sixth birthday last month, and Mu Qin also went to celebrate, and the relationship between the two is very good. However, Gou Yan has been in the army for a long time, enlisted in the army at the age of fourteen, and has made countless military exploits, and is now promoted to the general soldier, which is well deserved.

"Mr. Gou is polite, Daddy said that it would be convenient to go to the back, and he will come back later, or you will wait here first."

"Then I'll wait here for Lord Zhizhou."

As an important place in the state capital, Shenzhou City has quite a lot of soldiers and horses, not counting school captains and cavalry captains, and there are seven or eight total soldiers like Gou Yan alone. In other state capitals, the general army may not be a military rank worth paying attention to, but in Shenzhou it is different. Mu Yan's battlefield command has always been known for its finesse, not to mention the general army, if the situation allows, Mu Yan's command can even go straight to the squadron.

Sitting on the seat next to him, Gou Yan didn't mind the tea that Mu Qin brought him.

Perhaps in terms of title, in other places in Shenzhou City, Mu Qin is the son of Lord Zhizhou. But only in the army, in this military chamber, Mu Qin is just an ordinary person who learns with the army.

"Gou Yan, you're here, how is the situation?"

Coming out of the back room with the curtain opened, Mu Yan didn't care that the tray in Mu Qin's hand was not completely placed. And after hearing Mu Yan's greeting, Gou Yan immediately put down the teacup that had not yet reached his mouth and said, "My lord, the third battalion of the left has now entered Qingfeng Ridge, and it can enter the territory of Qizhou at any time. ”

Borage?

Suddenly hearing this, Mu Qin was stunned.

Unlike in Yuzhou, Li Ruixiang and Yu Rong were in charge of the military and political positions, in Shenzhou, although the imperial court also set up a command and envoy title, it has always been held by Mu Yan. Naturally, there are also Mu Yan's father-in-law's efforts in it, the purpose is to prevent Mu Yan's governance in Shenzhou from being affected by any elbows.

However, when he heard about Borage at first glance, Mu Qin still couldn't figure it out. Although it is close to Shenzhou like Yuzhou, it is not as good as Shenzhou, but it is also very inferior to Shenzhou.

Because of the relationship between Yuzhou and Jiao Xuan, although Mu Qin also knew Yuzhou's idea of commanding Yu Rong to fight Shenzhou, he didn't expect that his father would transfer the army to the direction of Yuzhou.

"Okay, when you go back, let the left third battalion continue to move west along Qingfeng Ridge, and wait for the general's order."

"The last general obeys the order, but ......" first accepted Mu Yan's order without hesitation, Gou Yan became puzzled again, and asked the same question instead of Mu Qin: "My lord, why do we put the troops in Qingfeng Ridge, in case Jiao Xuan's soldiers and horses enter Shenzhou, even if the third battalion on the left takes advantage of the Dao Zhou, isn't it beyond the reach of the whip?" ”

Not only Gou Yan, but even Mu Qin knew it.

If Jiao Xuan's 2,000 soldiers and horses went straight to Xingcheng County after setting off from the military camp, it can also be interpreted as the completion of the "oath" with Yi Huan. But when Jiao Xuan's soldiers and horses stayed in the hot spring valley outside Shenzhou for half a month, Jiao Xuan wanted to enter Shenzhou again, which would be equivalent to Yu Rong officially sending troops to Shenzhou. …,

Although Yu Rong's intention to enter Shenzhou was just a guess at first, with Jiao Xuan's movements and the successive transfers of Shenzhou's soldiers and horses, Mu Qin also knew that this qiē was all to guard against Yu Rong, the commander of Yuzhou.

But Mu Yan is now actually transferring the third battalion to Qingfeng Ridge on the border of Yuzhou, not to mention that Gou Yan doesn't understand, Mu Qin also doesn't understand.

Mu Yan didn't answer Gou Yan, but walked to the table and looked at the map spread out on it, and said in a solemn voice: "Gou Yan, when Yu Rong was acting under the banner of subverting Yuzhou, did you ever expect that his purpose was to invade our Shenzhou?" ”

"The last general didn't expect it, but this is ...... with the actions of the third battalion on the left."

"Since you didn't expect it, when we all knew that Yu Rong's target was Shenzhou, do you think his real target would be Shenzhou?" Mu Yan raised his eyes and looked at Gou Yan and asked.

As soon as he heard this, Gou Yan said with a shocked face: "What? What does the adult mean is that what Yu Rong really wants to attack is Yuzhou? ”

As Gou Yan asked, Mu Qin also glanced at the desktop map. However, I saw that Qingfeng Ridge outside the territory of Lizhou was going from east to west, and if it went all the way to the west, it could indeed press the border line into Shenzhou. However, if there is any change in the state, it can go straight into the hinterland of the state.

Mu Yan smiled coldly and said, "If Yu Rong really wants to offend my Shenzhou, our Shenzhou soldiers and horses are naturally not vegetarians. But if he wants to rush to Lizhou under the pretext of attacking Shenzhou, I, Mu Yan, will not let him take advantage of it. ”

"Why does Daddy think Yu Rong will attack Yuzhou? Is it just because his father discovered his intention to attack Shenzhou? ”

"That's just one of the reasons, but no matter where Yu Rong really wants to attack, we can't let him get a favor."

Mu Yan said categorically: "If he dares to attack Shenzhou, this official will wait for him in Shenzhou to attack, but if he enters Baozhou or other places, what he can do, why can't I, Mu Yan?" This can not only weaken the remaining forces, but also place the battlefield outside Shenzhou. ”

Placing the battlefield outside of Shenzhou?

What he can do, why can't I, Mu Yan, do it?

At first hearing this, Mu Qinman's face changed, but Gou Yan said excitedly: "What the adults said is very true, the last general will see that Yu Rong is not a thing. No matter what he wants to do, we must not let him succeed lightly, otherwise we will be unlucky in the end. ”

When Gou Yan was excited, Mu Qin was a little surprised and speechless.

The reason why Mu Qin was able to say the astonishing words of "people are not for themselves, and the heavens and the earth will be destroyed" yesterday was due to the fact that Mu Yan swallowed up the property of ten thousand large households but did not report the matter to the imperial court, and the two Qincha also seemed to be ignorant of it. Because this qiē not only indicates that Mu Yan is about to take action, but also means that the imperial court acquiesces to a certain state of affairs.

Under the default attitude of the imperial court, not only Yu Rong's actions were "logical", but Mu Yan's actions also became logical.

Although Mu Qin did not know why the imperial court would acquiesce to Yu Rong and his father Mu Yan's own assertions, if Yu Rong wanted to attack Shenzhou, Mu Qin could only support his father to resist Yu Rong's attack.

But if Yu Rong wanted to attack Lingzhou or other places that were not Shenzhou, Mu Qin couldn't figure out why Mu Yan wanted to intervene.

Is it just for a "what he can do, why can't I Mu Yan do it"?

Thinking of this, after Gou Yan left, Mu Qin asked, "Daddy, will Yu Rong really go to attack Yuzhou?" If so, why are we going to enter the state of Borage as well? ”

“…… Qin'er, you can answer Daddy, why did Yu Rong give up attacking Shenzhou after we knew his plan to attack Shenzhou? ”。

Although Yu Rong's desire to attack Shenzhou was just a guess, and giving up the attack was even more a guess, Mu Qin also knew that he should rather believe what he had than what he didn't. In order to prevent the Shenzhou soldiers and horses from making any mistakes when they rushed to the battle, Mu Yan must reorganize the army against Yu Rong. …,

Thinking of this, Mu Qin said: "Is it because Yu Rong doesn't have the strength to eat Shenzhou?" ”

"If he had the strength, he wouldn't have waited until today." Mu Yan said with a hateful expression.

Although he didn't know why Mu Qin hated Yu Rong so much, and why he was so sure that Yu Rong would definitely come to attack Shenzhou, Mu Qin nodded and said: "I see, after Yu Rong captures Yu Rong, with the power of his father's state, he will naturally not be able to resist Yu Rong's gathering of soldiers and horses from the two states, so he has to hinder Yu Rong from seizing Yu Zhou." ”

"Even if Yu Rong's goal is not to grow his strength, we have to prevent him from continuing to grow in strength."

"What Qin'er said is very true."

Mu Yan nodded and said, "That's why my father has to deploy defenses in Qingfeng Ridge." Once Yu Rong enters the state, his father will immediately wave his troops straight in. ”

"Then what about Yu Rongwan always referring to Xingcheng County? Isn't it more dangerous to stay in Xingcheng County's mother and second brother? Otherwise, Daddy will still ......," Mu Qin said with some worry.

Mu Yan was silent for a while, shook his head and said, "Qin'er don't worry, don't say that Yizhi County is not a completely unprepared horseman. Even if Yu Rong is trying to seize Shenzhou, it is better for us to break out sooner. ”

Attempt?

Unexpectedly, Mu Yan would use Jiao Yu and Mu Fen as bait for Yin* Yu Rong, Mu Qin was shocked for a while, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to change the topic; "Does Daddy think that Yizhi County can really block the soldiers and horses of Jiao Xuan, the captain of Yuzhou?"

"If you can't stop him, you have to stop him, even if it's just a day to slow down, my father has a way to relieve the siege of Shenzhou."

After saying it categorically, Mu Yan waved his hand and said, "Okay, you already know everything you should know, so you can retreat first!" ”

"Yes, Daddy."

Regardless of whether Mu Yan was impatient or not, Mu Qin also knew that there was no result if he continued to ask.

When he walked out of the military conference hall, Mu Qin raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Xingcheng County. I don't know how my mother Jiao Yu and younger brother Mu Fen are doing in Xingcheng County, and I don't know if they can really block Jiao Xuan's soldiers and horses for at least one day as Mu Yan said.

Without the experience of actually leading troops to fight, Mu Qin could not see through the situation in Xingcheng County at all. But thinking about Yi Huan's ability, Mu Qin felt a sense of peace of mind for no reason.

It seems that it is not just an expectation, but that Mu Qin also thinks that Yi Huan will definitely be able to block Jiao Xuan's soldiers and horses......
