Lan Jing'an stayed for a few months, and it was not easy to fight against the cunning Wu Daoming and the wise Yuwen Junping, and this battle was much more difficult than she expected. In particular, the Northwest Army has always been accustomed to fighting in the wilderness, and for water warfare, it is not as strong as the Dayong Army, which has been familiar with the vicinity of Xiangyang for several months.

Lan Jing'an didn't make much progress here, but after more than half a year's efforts, Xiao Qingyun's side finally defeated the 120,000 army led by Zhao Hu to Pingyuan County in Qingzhou. Since then, Qingzhou has been owned by Xiao Qingyun. After losing nearly 30,000 men, Zhao Hu led his men to retreat to Jizhou in the plains.

Jizhou and Yanzhou are the eastern gates of Sili, and the two states are adjacent to Hanoi County, which is Sili. Jizhou, in particular, is the most populous place besides Jingzhou, even exceeding five million. It can be said that if Jizhou is taken, the encirclement of Sili will be completely formed, and it is only a matter of time before Yonghua City is captured.

Therefore, Xiao Qingyun did not hesitate to follow Zhao Hu's footsteps and drove the army into Jizhou. The two armies first fought at Qinghe Ganling, near the Qingzhou Plain County, and Zhao Hu was defeated and continued to retreat to Julu.

And Youzhou Prefecture Mu Shi Ding re-bet on Dayong after Xiao Qingyun ruthlessly rejected his proposal to marry his daughter to him as the queen. He finally married his daughter to the second son of Zhao Hu, the Duke of Zhao, and transferred 30,000 people who defended northern Xinjiang to Jizhou to cooperate with Zhao Hu.

Due to the addition of Shi Ding, the war in Jizhou once again fell into a stalemate. However, due to the emptiness of Youzhou, Xianbei in the north realized that it was profitable, and even took advantage of the chaos to attack Youzhou from the northeast.

Xianbei was not a powerful country, but a number of tribes living in a land of abundant water and grass. In the past, there was absolutely no courage to challenge Dayong. But this time, the Xianbei people took advantage of the lack of people in the Dayong army, not only burning, killing and looting the northern border of Dayong, but also had a great plan to enter the interior of Youzhou.

At this time, the Xiongnu in the northwest, seeing that they were on the northwest line, no matter how Dayong and the cadres confronted, their resistance to them was not relaxed, and it was really not too cheap to take advantage of. turned to take advantage of Xianbei to attack, and also invaded Xianbei's territory.

As a result, the entire territory of northern Xinjiang, from west to east, from north to south, was completely plunged into war in the second year of Yankang. Many countries, many nationalities, many tribes have joined the war.

When Lan Jing'an heard about the affairs of the northern Xinjiang, he was silent for a long time. She feels sorry for the innocent people, no matter where they are, they all want a peaceful life, and who is the real winner in this endless war.

As time goes by, June has passed, and the hot summer will arrive again. It was the first time for Lan Jing'an to experience the hot and humid summer in the south in Jingzhou.

The continuous rain made her unable to tell whether the rainy season had passed, and she rarely sat alone in front of the window, looking at the heavy rain outside the window in a daze. For some reason, she felt that Brother Qingyun seemed to have changed a little. In his letters, as always, he missed her endlessly, but he never mentioned the arrangement to marry her, and even had a hint of hesitation about her going north.

Lan Jing'an became more and more afraid of this feeling of long-term separation, she felt that Hongyan's biography was still far from enough for her, and only by standing in front of Brother Qingyun, watching him smile, and listening to him call her "Ahri" in person, could she be considered at ease.

After Xie Weining left, Bai Qingfeng accompanied Lan Jing'an to live in Xiangyang for another two months. Seeing that she commanded both the Northwest Army and the Southern Army very well, he went north to help Xiao Qingyun. It was his arrival that prompted Xiao Qingyun to change his attitude towards his marriage to Ahri.

It turned out that although Xie Weining went to the southwest, the love Gu between him and Lan Jing'an did not weaken because of the distance. Lan Jing'an has felt a faint pain in her heart several times, although she never said it, but her uncomfortable appearance has been bumped into by Bai Qingfeng several times.

Bai Qingfeng specially asked Jiang Xianlin. Jiang Xianlin was very sure that this must have been caused by Xie Weining. Since Jiang Yutang had not yet obtained the antidote to the love Gu in the southwest, no matter how much Bai Qingfeng hated Xie Weining, he had to tell Xiao Qingyun the true situation and let him stop thinking about marrying Lan Jing'an for the time being.

Xiao Qingyun would rather wronged himself for the safety of his beloved. For him, even if he wants him to wait for Ahri for the rest of his life, he is willing, as long as she can live healthy. However, his efforts invisibly brought great uneasiness to Lan Jing'an. Lan Jing'an is a thoughtful person, and he comes and goes, but he is a little lovesick.

Coupled with her hard work day and night for the war with Wu Daoming, her old illness flared up again, and her heart and lungs had problems again. This frightened Jiang Xianlin and forced her to rest. But as the commander of the First Army, she is concerned about the people's livelihood, how can Jiang Xianlin persuade her. had to pour medicine on her every day, barely curbing the disease, but leaving the root of the disease.

After Lan Jing'an personally gave Pang Tu a funeral, he wrote to Xiao Qingyun and asked him to mention Sun Wei as a partial general. And Feng Shen was her personal guard while replacing Sun Wei's position as a captain of the Yue Cavalry.

While Lan Jing'an was still in a daze at the window, Feng Shen had already hurried over. He saluted Lan Jing'an and began to report on the military situation. Lan Jing'an came back to his senses and listened carefully to the report. Before Feng Shen left, he asked him again: "Haven't you found out about General Pang's original military camp in Yuzhou?" ”

Feng Shen shook his head helplessly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Da Si Ming really attaches great importance to love and righteousness, for General Pang's last words, I don't know how much effort he has to, he almost has to rummage through the entire camp, just to find General Pang's original colleague, so as to find his sister who doesn't know the name and whereabouts.

Lan Jing Anjian still has no news, and he can't. Instead, he asked him: "Captain Feng, you have been in Jingzhou for many years, and every year at this season, is it such a continuous heavy rain?" ”

Feng Shen said: "This season is about to come to Fuxun, but such continuous heavy rain is not common, at least never in my memory. Lan Jing'an nodded and let him go.

The continuous rain made Lan Jing'an extremely uneasy, although she ordered people to prepare for the flood, but she still didn't know whether it was complete. She called Biluan and went to the mansion of Zhang Xun, the chief of Xiangyang, in the rain.

Zhang Xun didn't expect that it was raining so heavily, and Lan Jing'an could still come, so he hurriedly welcomed her in. Lan Jing'an sat down and asked Zhang Xun politely: "Sir, I heard Captain Feng say that such heavy rain is not common, I want to ask Mr. How are our preparations for the flood?" ”

Zhang Xun showed her the map: "Da Si Ming, please see, Xiangyang's terrain is originally higher than the north bank, except for the wilderness east of the city that may be flooded, other places should be safe." Moreover, General Lu and General Jiang have already led people to strengthen the embankment in the west of the city to ensure that there will be no major problems. ”

Zhang Xun frowned and said: "But such a non-stop heavy rain is indeed not seen for many years, if it rains for another five or six days, I am afraid it will exceed the record in the history books." And heavy rain will have a big flood, and this year is indeed dangerously tight. ”
