Zhang Qingyan said: "I heard from my senior sister, it seems that the second son of the Shen family has a relationship with my senior sister?" It is said that after the senior sister broke up with Xianggong in Guangzhou, she traveled all the way with the second son of the Shen family. I don't know what kind of hero this second son Shen is. It's just that Shen Lian's family has some friendship with Shao Jing, the leader of the Loyal and Righteous Alliance. I heard Senior Brother Shao say, the foothold of my Loyal and Righteous Alliance in the north, the security guard Shen family is also counted as one. ”

Yan Hong heard the word Guangzhou, remembering that Xia Zisu was so determined to leave in Guangzhou, his heart couldn't help but be unhappy, and his brows furrowed slightly. Listening to Zhang Qingyan mention Shao Jing again, combined with Xia Zisu's past, my heart was even more unhappy. Zhang Qingyan observed his words and looks, how clever he was, and said: "Xianggong, don't be angry." You also know my senior sister's appearance, who doesn't want to be friends with a man in the world? She has this condition, so she naturally has to make more use of it. But in the past, when he walked the rivers and lakes, no matter how handsome he was, he became a famous hero, and his senior sister never took it to heart and refused to give up a little. Only that Shao...... It's nothing. ”

Seeing that Yan Hong's face was unhappy, Zhang Qingyan knew that this thorn was buried just right, and said: "Xianggong, otherwise, when we enter Datong and settle down, I will go to the security guard and invite the senior sister." The two of you will meet and have a good talk, which can be regarded as making up for my own mistakes today. Let's take a look, what is the friendship between the senior sister and this second son of Shen? ”

Yan Hong said: "There is nothing wrong with it, but your idea is good." I'll send someone to go back, and you won't run. ”

Zhang Qingyan said: "That's not possible. My senior sister has a strange temper, and she sends someone to get into trouble. She draws her sword to hurt someone. If you get to that point, no one's face will look good. Or let me mediate, everything is negotiable. ”

Yan Hong said in his heart. Xia Zisu's martial arts are outstanding, and the guards around him, except for Liang Rufei, are probably not his opponents. If Zhang Qingyan is here, he can indeed resist for a while. He said, "This matter is considered for a long time, not at this time. Let's get back to that. ”

Zhang Qingyan said again: "Xianggong, the little housekeeper Xi Tong next to you." It's about practicing some kind of evil kung fu. I heard my master say that when I practiced this kung fu since I was a child, I entered the realm quickly, but it ruined the way of yin and yang and the five elements of people. Affects growth. I see that although Xi Tong has red lips and white teeth, there is a faint green gas between his eyebrows. When I asked him about his age, he was actually sixteen years old, but he looked like thirteen or fourteen. In the future, it will also affect Yangshou. It's a kung fu that eats food. We are decent, but we don't know how to practice this kind of kung fu. I have written down a prescription here, supplemented by the method of vomiting, which is the cure for this kung fu disease. If you practice according to this, you can channel the accumulation of yin qi in your body, although you can't get rid of its harm, but you can also get rid of it. It's just that the cult's kung fu can't be practiced again. You still have to start from scratch to practice decent kung fu. If you turn around and give the recipe to the little butler, you will save his life. From now on, I will die for you and serve you faithfully. ”

Yan Hong said: "I see, I said why Xi Tong has been getting sick recently, and the former hasn't even gone down to Jiangnan." It turns out that the roots are here. Since this recipe is yours, why bother to turn another hand? You go back and write the recipe to him, you are all practitioners, and you are easy to talk. ”

Zhang Qingyan glanced at him and said, "What did Xianggong say?" Although he looks young, he is also a teenager when he counts his age. Now that I am in your room, how can I talk to a man more? Besides, since this man is dead to heart, he is loyal to you, and he is your arm. If I go to sell well, won't I become a party for personal gain? ”

She did things properly, she had already seen Xi Tong's secret illness, and she chased Xia Zisu today, and she was always afraid that Yan Hong would be surprised, so she threw out the killer idea. Seeing that Yan Hong was happy, he hugged Yan Hong's head and neck, and said shamefully: "Husband, the concubine also wants to add a piece to the Yan family." ”

In the early morning of the next day, Yan Hong summoned Xi Tong and gave Xi Tong the prescription and method of vomiting copied by Zhang Qingyan to explain the reason. Xi Tong hurriedly bowed down and thanked the eldest young master for his kindness. Yan Hong knew that Xi Tong was loyal to him, but he really looked at Sister Bao Chan's face, but Zhang Qingyan didn't know this.

The Qincha brigade set off, passed through Ulzhou, and rushed to Datong. Taking advantage of the hurry, Lu Kai got into Yan Hong's carriage. I saw a tall and long-legged woman leaning against Yan Hong in the car, and three other women were accompanying each other. Lu Kai didn't dare to look at it more, bowed his head and said: "Eldest son, there are no outsiders here, the lower official dared to ask." You are here, I don't know what the charter is? Do you want to take Yang Shun down and ask for guilt like you did with Liu Cai in Jinan? ”

Yan Hong put his hand on Sun Yuerong's stomach and asked rhetorically: "Don't ask me about this matter first, I'll ask the way." Yang Shun sits in Datong, the commander-in-chief of Xuanda military affairs, and is in a high position. But I don't know if he is a capable official or an incompetent dumb official? ”

Lu Kai said simply: "Yang Dashuai is a phoenix with chicken gall, tiger skin and sheep, indecisive, and unknown military aircraft. He is a first-class dumb official. Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said, "But he is loyal to Yuan Weng and Xiaoge Lao, and he can learn from it every day." Since taking office, he has raised gold and silver for the Yan family and prepared goods, and has never been left behind. is even more desperate to make some achievements, just to make Yuan Weng's face bright, Xiaoge Lao is happy in his heart, and the eldest prince must not be checked. ”

Lu Kai is also worthy of being a character who can patrol the press, and he really has his own skills in speaking. First of all, he did not hide Yang Shun's incompetence, but more importantly, he explained Yang Shun's merits to Yan Hong. He's loyal!

From the standpoint of the Yan government, whether or not he can work is a matter of ability. For whom to work, this is a matter of position. And the question of stance is much more important than the question of ability, running in the wrong direction, the faster your legs, the farther you are from the finish line. Yang Shunzhan has a correct position, so for Yan Fu, he is a usable talent. As for the issue of ability, this is secondary, there are so many loyal ministers and good generals on the border, and there are more than 100,000 strong soldiers, relying on them to tear and kill me, it may not be invincible. On the contrary, if Yang Shun is half-hearted, disobedient to Yan Jiayang, and has other ambitions, then he is the mortal enemy of Yanmen, and he must be eliminated quickly.

Yan Hong nodded and said, "Then this year and last year, we will close the border, will we lose or win?" I want to hear the truth. ”

Lu Kai saw that those women had no intention of evading, and knew that this must be the personal person of the eldest prince, so he didn't dare to say anything about the bird that retreated. He hesitated for a moment, and had to reply: "The eldest prince, the lower official is a civil official, not a military general." It's really not clear what happened on this battlefield. If you want to ask about victory or defeat, I don't dare to tell you, I can only say that the Mongols came and withdrew. Thousands of corpses were thrown down. It's just that we have more people who have died than the Mongols. ”

Yan Hong listened to him and roughly understood what was going on. Basically, it was the Mongols who took the initiative to attack, and after several battles between the two sides, the Mongols eventually retreated, while the Ming suffered more casualties.

The comparison of casualties is certainly an important parameter in the victory or defeat of the war, but it is not the only factor. It is not easy to kill 10,000 enemies and lose 3,000 yourself, and even if you kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself, not everyone can fight it.

In the war between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia at that time, the Mongols' mobility, flexibility, field combat ability, and individual soldier quality were stronger than those of the Ming army. The advantage of the Ming army lies in deep ditches and high fortifications, with cities to rely on and firearms to use. These factors enabled the Ming army to occupy favorable factors and gain certain advantages in defensive warfare. By the time of the field war, it won't be much done.

Strategically, the Mongols repeatedly invaded, and the Ming Dynasty was in a position of being passively beaten, and it was difficult to grasp the strategic initiative. Therefore, it is often a victory to repel the Mongol attack without losing too many cities and people. The number of deaths, on the contrary, is less important.

This is objectively determined by the characteristics of the national army, to put it mildly, it is said that figures such as Yang Shun, and famous generals like Weng Wanda and Yang Bo may not be able to come up with a good solution. One of Weng Wanda's great achievements back then was to build a number of miles of side walls to provide a defensive barrier for the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. As for the field front, breaking the formation and destroying the enemy, that is the matter of Hongwu and Yongle Nian, and now it is not worth paying attention to. In the early years, Zeng Milling did take the initiative to attack and regain the brains of Hetao, and he also got Xia Yan's support. But weren't these two killed by Yan Song and Lu Bing in collusion later. This matter will never be mentioned again. (To be continued......)
