"You want her to win?"

Emperor Xiao Chengwen is like a chat terminator.

Queen Yan Yunqi bowed her head, her face embarrassed.

No matter how you answer this, it's wrong, so you just keep silent.

"I'm conflicted, I wanted her to win at first, and now I want her to lose. But if she is defeated, it means that Liu Zhang will become more and more arrogant, and it will be even more difficult to recover the northern land. Can you understand my ambivalence? ”

Empress Yan Yunqi nodded.

She understands!

It's all about the position, about the world, and about the country.

Emperor Xiao Chengwen continued: "I actually prefer them to lose both, so that the imperial court can do something. One day, the lost land will be recovered and the north and the south will be reunified. ”

Empress Yan Yunqi sighed with him.

Since ancient times, it is not easy for a dynasty to recover the lost land.

In most cases, after two hundred years of exhaustive dynasties, there is no way to recover the lost land.

This is luck and inevitability.

It is too easy to lose, too difficult to regain.

"Your Majesty, don't put too much pressure on yourself! Lord Ling marched south, laid so much land, and expanded the territory for the Great Wei Dynasty. His Majesty's exploits have far surpassed those of the ancestors and are comparable to Emperor Taizu. As for the Northlands, when the time comes, there will be a conclusion. ”

Emperor Xiao Chengwen sighed, "I have used the reasons you just said to convince yourself countless times. However, I could not let go of the Northland. In the north, there is the capital of the Great Wei, the mausoleum of the ancestors, the people of me, and the rivers and mountains...... How much can I think openly, how big my heart must be, so that I don't care and don't pay attention? You don't have to comfort me, I understand everything. ”

Queen Yan Yunqi opened her mouth to speak, thought about it, and finally remained silent.

She said that everything was wrong, and her position was really awkward.

Meantime......

She was also grateful to the emperor for always treating her, and never angered her because of her surname and her sisterhood with Yan Yunge.

Since ancient times, there have been very few men like Xiao Chengwen.

She couldn't find fault with him, just as she couldn't blame Sister Yunge.

She is not qualified to ask Sister Yunge what to do and what not to do.

is also not qualified to ask Xiao Chengwen what to do and what not to do.

It is also rare for a queen to live as embarrassed and entangled as her.

In the past, those queens and families were attached to the court and the emperor. If interests converge, there will be no suspicion.

However, the Yan family has long since broken away from the imperial court.

Even Yan Yunge only regarded the imperial court as an ornament.

Emperor Xiao Chengwen didn't want to say more, and before leaving, he reminded her, "Don't communicate with Yan Yunge until the dust settles." You can wait for the results with peace of mind! ”

Yan Yunqi bowed her head.

……

In November, the imperial court sent troops, and the forward troops took the lead, aiming directly at the territory of the two counties.

For a time, the people of the three counties were panicked.

There are those who watch, there are those who escape, there are those who watch the show on the wall, and more are worried.

Everyone's interests have been tied together in the three counties.

In case Yan Yunge is defeated by the imperial army, what is good?

In case the imperial court settles accounts after the autumn, let alone family property, I am afraid that I will not even be able to save my life.

How is it good?

The merchants, especially the big businessmen who had invested a lot of money in the three counties, made an appointment and went to the yamen of the county guard to inquire about the situation.

The people in the countryside are fully prepared for the battle under the organization of the government.

Bo County, Dongyang County, the families of these two counties, people's hearts fluctuate.

They returned to Yan Yunge, and it didn't take long.

The longest can be a year, and the shortest can be half a year and a few months.

There is no such thing as loyalty.

Just because of the bundle of interests, they are holding a wait-and-see attitude for the time being.

Perhaps, Yan Yunge can win.

Maybe Yan Yunge lost, and the court saw that they were forced to make peace with Yan Yunge, and with the help of the relationship between the DPRK and China, they would definitely be able to open the net.

What a contradiction!

Left and right tug-of-war.

On one side is the imperial court, and on the other side is Yan Yunge......

Let's see the follow-up.

……

When people were panicking, they didn't know that the guards had already sent troops half a month ago.

The Jianzhou Imperial Court was arguing every day about whether to send troops to attack the three counties, and there was a lot of uproar, and there was no sense of secrecy at all.

The spies of Pingyang County got the news as soon as possible, and sent the news to Yan Yunge's hands as quickly as possible through the waterway.

Yan Yunge: "I have long prevented the imperial court from stabbing a knife in the back." The guards have been nourished for so many years, and they are all fat and strong, and it is time to pull them out and fight with real knives and guns, and experience and experience. The guard battalion is quite equal against the Southern Army. ”

Thereupon......

Before everyone was aware of the situation, while everyone was still in the dark, the guard battalion moved overnight.

Yan Yunge pointed to the map, and with a little hand, the location of the confrontation between the two armies was set at the intersection of complex mountain roads and waterways outside the three counties.

Come and have a real battle.

This war, on the surface, has always been dominated by the imperial court.

As everyone knows, the person who really led this war was Yan Yunge.

She said to Yan Nan, the commander of the army: "You should understand why I set the place of operation outside the three counties, so as not to affect the commerce and production of the three counties. I will give you what you want, and ensure that the logistics supply is sufficient.

I have only one request for you, to repel the imperial army and train the troops with the heads of the southern army. Train all your sons and daughters into veterans who have seen blood kill people! ”

"Subordinates obey!"

"You don't have to worry about the war with Liu Zhang, Mrs. Ben has already arranged it. You just have to do your errand, and someone else will take care of the other things. ”

"The subordinates will not disappoint the expectations of the lady."

The forward troops of the imperial court went north by boat, but before they reached the territory of the three counties, and there were still hundreds of miles away from the nearest place of the three counties, they were ambushed by the guard battalion.

This is an amphibious war.

The two sides fought from the river to the land, and from the land to the mountains and forests.

The guard battalion took advantage of the geographical advantage, and at the cost of nearly 1,000 casualties, repelled the advance troops of the imperial court, captured a number of supplies, and captured a number of prisoners.

The captives were all escorted to work as coolies, digging ditches, digging pits, digging holes...... Dig everything!

Labor is precious.

Except for the most vicious people, Yan Yunge has always been very rare and captured.

Free labor!

As long as you give a bite to eat, you can summon this group of captives to death, and you don't have to pay a penny.

The more good things like this, the better.

Kill captives?

What a waste!

Unless one day, there is a surplus of labor, but you can consider killing prisoners and saving food.

……

The forward troops of the imperial court army were unfavorable, and when the news reached the Jianzhou imperial court, the ministers were shocked and could not believe it.

Because the waterways extend in all directions, the message is transmitted quickly.

Soon, the imperial court received a specific battle report.

The courtiers scolded Yan Yunge for being shameless.

Yan Yunge obviously got the news in advance, knew the marching route of the forward troops, and arranged an ambush of soldiers and horses in advance, which caught the forward troops by surprise. There is a mental calculation or no intention, and losing this battle is not a crime of war. ”

"Shouldn't we also check it, how did the news leak? How could Yan Yunge know the marching route of the forward troops in advance? ”

"My lord means, there are traitors."

"Whether there are traitors or not, the old man does not dare to draw conclusions easily. Perhaps someone accidentally said that they leaked their mouths, and the spies of Pingyang County were everywhere and learned the news of the army's dispatch in advance. ”

"My lord means something!"

"Shut up!"

Emperor Xiao Chengwen reprimanded his ministers.

They are not fools, this group of courtiers clearly wants to make Queen Yan Yunqi take the blame.

Yan Yunge learned of the movement in advance, and in the eyes of the ministers, it must have been Queen Yan Yunqi who secretly reported to Yan Yunge.

He said with a straight face: "I can vouch for the queen." In the last month or two, the queen has not seen any foreign ministers, and has not had any communication with the outside world. The people who served around him never left the palace for a single step. What do you want to do?

The news leaked, why don't you ask yourself, have you ever revealed the imperial court's plan to send troops to the people around you in private? I see that none of you have a tight mouth. If you really want to investigate the leakage of information, you should start with everyone around you. ”

The ministers were silent.

Because......

They have more or less revealed to their families the plan of the imperial court to send troops.

This matter does not stand up to scrutiny.

It was precisely because he couldn't stand up to the investigation that he thought about making the first move and letting Queen Yan Yunqi take the blame.

Anyway, the imperial court is at war with Yan Yunge.

Let the queen take the blame, which can be regarded as a great joy and the desire of the people.

Who made the queen mother and Yan Yunge be sisters of the same mother.

Good sisters, blessings cannot be shared, and difficulties must be shared.

Outcome......

The emperor is not in the trap!

The ministers thumped their chests.

The emperor is confused!

Such a good opportunity, as long as you are willing to let Queen Yan Yunqi take the blame and lose the first battle, you will have an explanation.

The common people would not mistakenly think that the imperial army was incompetent, and that even the guard battalion of a local prince could not win.

The majority of small people don't know that Yan Yunge's guard battalion is not an ordinary guard battalion, it has been built in accordance with the army system from the beginning, and it has been practiced every day.

Xiaomin doesn't know the inside story, only knows that the regular army can't even win the guard battalion, it's a shame!

It's a shame!

In the simple thinking of the small people, the guard battalion is definitely not comparable to the combat effectiveness of the regular army.

At present, the first battle is unfavorable, if you don't find a weighty backbiter, how to explain to the people of the world, how to suppress the criticism of the world?

What is the face of the imperial court?

Who else has more identity and weight than the queen?

And they are all surnamed Yan, which is reasonable.

Sisters, it's reasonable to secretly ventilate the news in private. The majority of small people can understand.

Such a good plan, it can be called a perfect plan, but ......

The emperor is not in the trap!

It's infuriating!

"Your Majesty, don't be tempted by beauty and miss the right thing."

Emperor Xiao Chengwen smiled angrily, "What's the right thing?" What kind of business is it to slander the queen who slandered me? If anyone dares to bite the queen innocently, I will start with him.

Jin Wuwei is not an ornament, no matter how deep you hide, Jin Wuwei can find out the truth by digging three feet into the ground. At that time, I want to see who really leaked the news is. ”

With a threat, the courtiers really didn't dare to bite the queen Yan Yunqi again.

The perfect plan can only be given up and find another backer.
