All the houses are happy, but the distant front line is full of corpses and rivers of blood.

Danshui, tens of thousands of miles long, the shallowest water depth is also one person high, the average width of the river is almost two thousand meters, the water flow is turbulent, the waves are turbulent, it feeds countless people, but also has to pass the lives of countless people, this is the last barrier of Daxing, if it can't be contained in Danshui, the army of the king of Yu will approach Kyoto.

And the border between Liguo and Daxing, the most prosperous and critical Xiliang City, on the second day when Wan Chaoyun woke up, the city was officially broken, King Gong had no choice but to retreat to Shangyang Pass, she did not ask the court for additional troops, because she had just divided part of her troops to support Chu Muyang not long ago, otherwise Xiliang City would not have been broken so quickly.

After a few more days, Wan Chaoyun's health was almost better, she could eat and drink normally, and she could also deal with some business affairs, but the old man felt sorry for her and didn't let her work, and the others seemed to know that she was embroidering a wedding dress, so they didn't bother.

It's just that her embroidery work is so bad that she wastes countless materials and doesn't embroider a corner.

After scrapping another piece of material, she pouted in frustration, "It's really too difficult!" ”

"What can be difficult to stop my little Chaoyun?" Chen Qian came in with his hand, he had Yu Yuan personally recuperate, and he recovered well, at least here in Wan Chaoyun, he was getting more and more energetic.

Wan Chaoyun immediately put down the needle and thread to meet him, then took his arm and said coquettishly: "The embroidery work is really too difficult, Mr. must help me snatch back the best embroidery girl in the firm." ”

"Okay, I promise to get it back for you." Chen Qian pinched her crimson cheeks dotingly, "The wedding dress won't be embroidered for a while, why don't you make me a purse?" I think other little ladies will make a few for their lovers. ”

"Sir is going to go far away?" Wan Chaoyun immediately asked vigilantly.

Chen Qian chuckled, "You're too smart to hide anything from you." ”

"Isn't it generally that the lover wants to go far away, and then the little lady gives away the purse? Where is the gentleman going? Can I go along? ”

"Xiliang City is broken, I'm going to leave the country." He said and sat down, "You wait for me in the capital, you won't be going for long, and you'll be back soon." ”

"Why did you leave the country?" Wan Chaoyun frowned, not wanting him to take risks, "Isn't it good for you to sit in the capital?" ”

"The regent of the country is a ruthless person, it is useless for ordinary people to go, at present, the court has no troops to resist the departure of the army, I need to go in person, well, wait for me to come back in the capital."

"And when are you leaving?" Although I don't want him to take risks, how can I bear to detain him? should believe that he can handle it, and if you want to be a husband and wife, this trust is the least.

"Now."

Wan Chaoyun: "......"

She was angry, shook his hand, and said unhappily: "Then you want me to make you a purse!" ”

"You do it first, I'll come back to me, okay?" He took Wan Chaoyun into his arms and hugged him tightly, "I know that your embroidery is not good, so give you time to polish slowly, lest you feel faceless, but you must also be careful not to hurt your eyes, even if you don't embroider anything on your purse, I won't dislike it." ”

"Sir, I want to go with you." Wan Chaoyun pursed his lips, hugged his waist with his backhand, buried his head deep in his arms, smelled the faint fragrance of ink, and inexplicably felt extremely secure, "I can't bear you." ”

"Your mother finally promised not to meddle in our affairs, don't let her be angry again, okay?"

"Hmm." Wan Chaoyun squeaked reluctantly, if he followed Wen's would indeed be angry, "That's it, then you go early and come back early." ”

"Don't worry, you will definitely go early and return early." He kissed Wan Chaoyun on the forehead and assured.

"Take Yu Yuan, his medical skills are better than Su Huai." Wan Chaoyun was not at ease.

Chen Qian smiled, "If you bring it, if you don't say it, he will follow it himself." ”

"I envy him for being able to follow Mr."

"Silly." Chen Qian hugged him for a while before letting go of the person in his arms, "Wait for me at home." ”

"Hmm." Wan Chaoyun nodded, her eyes were already full of tears, the moment he let go, her heart suddenly emptied, and she always felt a little ominous, but she didn't dare to think about it, she only desperately held back her tears, and then looked at his distant back until she couldn't see it anymore.

Not long after Chen Qian left the capital, something happened in Danshui.

On the north bank of Danshui, a military general was quietly ushered in, and the soldiers in charge of the guard immediately shouted: "Enemy attack!" ”

"Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong, I'm here to surrender." The military commander stretched out his hands, without weapons in his hands, single-handedly, and did not bring anyone.

The vigilant soldiers still didn't dare to be careless, and immediately attracted a small group of men and horses, and pressed the general with weapons to meet Lu Zhennan.

Lu Zhennan, in charge of the water war, Chu Muyang is not there, he is the top general in this area, and there have been military generals who came to surrender to Cheng before, but a few people were sent by Chen Qian who wrote letters to the past, and they brought people over.

Even so, the team of the king of Yu also expanded rapidly, and after copying the shops and workshops of the Wuxu trading house, millions of taels of silver were in hand, and there was no shortage of military salaries for recruiting troops and horses for the time being.

Hearing that someone came to surrender to Cheng again, Lu Zhennan immediately wanted to meet him in person, after all, it might be Chen Qian's person.

"What's your name?" He asked, looking down at the kneeling generals below.

The military general looked very young, twenty-five or sixteen years old, and he was extremely good-looking, and his first impression was integrity.

However, Lu Zhennan is not the kind of person who will easily believe it by looking at his face, yes, his attitude is cold.

"The last general's surname is Zhou, his name is Siliang, and he was once the general of the Zhengwupin Wujie." Zhou Siliang replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Why do you rebel with the rebel king?" Lu Zhennan asked majestically.

If it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that I will shrink a little, but this Zhou Siliang has such a face, and replied quickly, "Your Majesty abolished Chen Gong's new law, and the rebel king was unhappy for Chen Gong, and the last general thought that the rebel king was a good thing, but he did not expect to do a big rebellious thing under the guise of Chen Gong, and the last general was confused and did something wrong, but now he understands it, and he does not want to be used by the rebel king again, and asks the general to give the last general a chance to reform himself." ”

The reason is very sufficient, Lu Zhennan can't find anything wrong, before Wen Jiyou's article exposed the crime of rebelling against the king, but in the south it is the sphere of influence of the rebel king, and the text was immediately taken away, and many people didn't know about it.

"How did you learn about the crime of rebelling against the king?" He asked again.

"Before the generals left, the last general was suspicious, and secretly checked, only to know that Lord Wen's inscription has not been circulated on a large scale in the south, but paper can't hold the fire, and one day, the crime of rebelling against the king will be revealed to the world!"

"So, you don't know why they broke away from the rebel camp?" The reason why those generals left was because Chen Qian's letter played a role, not because they themselves were conscious, and even in their hearts, King Yu was more suitable to be the emperor, if it wasn't for Chen Qian, they would not have betrayed King Yu at all.

"I don't know." Zhou Siliang replied truthfully, "The last general is just following Chen Gong, where he is, the last general is there." ”

Lu Zhennan nodded, "There are indeed people like you who came to follow Chen Gong, even so, what about your troops?" May bring? ”

"Not at the moment, but without the order of the last general, they will not fight." Zhou Siliang was extremely sure.

If the two sides are at war, one side has few people, and it is indeed easy to be at a disadvantage, as long as the victory is won, people will naturally be able to return to the team smoothly.

"Okay, in that case, you can stay for now." Lu Zhennan walked down and instructed the adjutant general: "Take General Zhou down to rest." ”

The deputy general took the order and made a gesture of please, and Zhou Siliang hugged his fists and saluted before leaving with the deputy general.

After Zhou Siliang left the camp, Lu Zhennan immediately convened a military meeting, "Lord Wen's inscription has not spread on a large scale in the south, the news has been blocked, and many people do not know that Chen Gong is in the capital. ”

"General, not only does no one in the south know Lord Wen's inscription, they even think that His Majesty poisoned Chen Gong and shout to avenge Chen Gong." Some generals were indignant.

"How is the pontoon ready?" Lu Zhennan asked.

"It's ready, you can cross the river at any time."

"Against the king's expedition, the morale of the enemy army is indeed high, and we have been forced back so much, we really shouldn't be." Lu Zhennan sighed, they also won a few battles last year, but since King Yu personally led the troops, they have been defeated and retreated, but Chen Qian is unconscious again, the prince has some strategies, but he is too young to go to the front line, many strategies have just been sent, the battle situation is different, and they are not used at all.

And the king of Yu, in the army, the military orders are ever-changing, and they can't be guarded against, and in less than a year, they have lost several lines of defense, and this is the last one.

"The rebel king is indeed quite capable of military affairs." There will be an appreciation in the future.

Everyone was silent, they had personally experienced this, the rebel king used soldiers like gods, and often fought battles with less to win more, these days, the momentum has remained high, which is really a headache.

"Now that the pontoon bridge has been built, we will find a foggy early morning to cross the river." He has also made preparations for a long time, "We must drive the rebel king away from Danshui." ”

"Yes!" The generals replied in unison.

The foggy weather didn't let him wait long, only four or five days, and it arrived, on this day, Lu Zhennan personally led the troops, with the help of the pontoon bridge, and quietly transported the team across Danshui.

The enemy army did not seem to have expected to be caught off guard by their killing, and the king fled in panic, and the rebels on the south bank of Danshui also withdrew.

"General, it's too easy." The adjutant general said with a solemn face.

Lu Zhennan's face was gloomy, and the thoughts in his heart were the same as those of the deputy general, "It's really easy, pass on the order, don't be vigilant." ”

"Yes." The lieutenant general ordered to go down.

After about an hour, he came back again, "General, I found it out, it turned out that the people of the Zhou Temple Liangbu did not obey the order, and the defense of the right flank of the rebel king was weak, and it was broken by our army in one fell swoop, so I fled in a panic." ”

"Really?" Lu Zhennan was skeptical.

"That's true." The deputy general cut the railway, "That Zhou Siliang served as the right wing protector, his people did not move, the king of the rebellion urgently transferred the left wing to defend, and our large army attacked again, and the king of rebellion was in chaos, so he naturally wanted to flee." ”

This kind of analysis is also credible, the two armies are facing each other, the most taboo is to temporarily adjust the tactics, the defeat of the king of the rebellion, although it is a little fast, but it is also reasonable, "It can be seen that the person of the king is very cautious, and retreats immediately as soon as there is a defeat, preserves his strength, and does not put himself in danger." ”

"Indeed, the person who rebelled against the king is extraordinary."

"Ordinary people don't dare to rebel." Lu Zhennan said coldly.

"General, Zhou Siliang asks to see you." The guards came to report.

"Please come here." Lu Zhennan's wariness of Zhou Siliang dropped a little.

After a while, Zhou Siliang came over and bowed his hand and said, "General, congratulations to the general!" ”

"General Zhou, it is also thanks to your troops that they did not listen to the orders of the rebel king." Lu Zhennan smiled, "General Zhou doesn't have to be polite. ”

"General, the last general's men and horses have been assembled, and the general is invited to review it." Zhou Siliang didn't dare to stand up straight, and still maintained the movement of saluting.

"General Zhou, it's not that the general doesn't trust you, you can not only make your people not listen to the king's orders, but also let your people not listen to the general's military orders."

"General, the last general and the last general's people are at the disposal of the general, and the last general has thought clearly, if he wants to atone for his crimes, he will all listen to the general's arrangement." He spoke generously and forcefully, frankly, and without complaint.

Lu Zhennan nodded, very satisfied with his knowledge, "Even so, you are still General Wujie, and tomorrow Japan will let you lead a team of men and horses to fight with the army." ”

"Yes, thank you, General." His attitude is so positive that people can't find the slightest mistake.

"General, although the last general is only five grades, but he has fought with the enemy army until now, and he also knows the details of many enemy generals, and I also ask the general to listen to the words of the last general." Zhou Siliang said again.

"Okay, you can hear about it." Lu Zhennan said and sat down, intending to listen carefully.

Zhou Siliang agreed, and immediately gushed out, "At first, the king was cronyistic, but after he gained a firm foothold, he was meritocracy, and at present, the four major generals under him are Wu Weiye, the general of the Eastern Expedition, who was born in a poor family, and this person is good at water warfare. ”

"Yi Jian, the general of the Western Expedition, was born in a family, and was the most trusted Confucian general of the rebel king, and the Yi family was quite powerful in the south."

"Wen Chengming, the general of the Southern Expedition, was born in a family and is good at formation."

"Zeng Zichang, the general of the Northern Expedition, is good at trickery."

Lu Zhennan knew all these basic information, and he continued to listen.

"Although all of these generals are good at their fields, Wu Weiye is greedy for money, Yi Jian is lustful, Wen Chengming is not familiar with human feelings, and Zeng Zichang is suspicious."

Lu Zhennan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, although these shortcomings need to be verified, but it is not a bad way, "Is there anything else?" He asked.

"Xiao knows Wu Weiye's deputy general, he is Wu Weiye's hair, and if you want to be promoted in the army, you can find his hair, but it is not easy for Wu Weiye to have today's status, and he is also very cautious, only promoting those who have real talent but lack opportunities, if they have no real ability, he will not accept their money."

"In that case, you go and get in touch and ask him to make an offer." Luzhen South Road, as long as you can win, it is nothing to give out some silver.

"Yes, my subordinates obey!" Zhou Siliang immediately received the order.

After he left, Vice General Lu Zhennan asked, "General, is he credible?" ”

"I don't know." Lu Zhennan shook his head, he didn't want to doubt the people who came to Toucheng, and he didn't want to believe it easily.

"Whether he is reliable or not, we will know in a few days." He added.
