Chapter 262: The Matter of Jizhou
During this time, due to the good command of Wan Mingde and LĂź Min, only 80,000 people were mobilized to defend Yanzhou's Dayong, first losing the important city of Yanzhou, Changyi, and then losing to Rencheng. Bai Qingfeng has already led people to Dongping, which is only five hundred miles away from Ganling in Jizhou.
Zhao Hu knew that once Xiao Qingyun and Lu Min and the others converged, Xiao Qingyun would be even more unstoppable. He tried his best to drive the 160,000 Jizhou soldiers in Xiao Qingyun's hands to fight on the northern front, and at the same time sent additional men to defend Yanzhou, trying to separate the two forces.
At the same time, Emperor Yankang Yu Wen Moyuan knew that the situation was urgent, and he asked the hussar general Xiao Meng to minimize the strength of the defense of the northwest front, and led people to attack from Sili and attack Yanzhou directly, hoping to delay Bai Qingfeng's pace of going north. When such a battle report reached Lan Jing'an, she was happy, but she also knew that this was a manifestation of Xie Weining's trustworthiness.
Judging from the number of cadres and Dayong in the northwest, the elite soldiers of the two armies who remain there are now only 100,000 dead. However, the Xia army has nearly 300,000 troops in the northwest, and if the Xia country wants to benefit from the fishermen, there is simply no better time than now. But the Xia Kingdom did not move in the northwest, and did not take advantage of it at all. The only reason that can explain this kind of thing that does not conform to Xia Guo's consistent style must be that Xie Weining played a role in it.
Lan Jing'an knew that Xie Weining's ability was huge, and he didn't dare to leave Jiangling. She was not only polite to Lao Du and them, but also asked Xie Weining about the situation in the southwest from time to time, worrying about whether he was safe. Lao Du and the others were even happier when they saw that she often missed her master.
It's just that every time Lan Jing'an sees Lao Du, he doesn't have to be happy for a while. She really didn't want to act against her will. She could only secretly scold herself for being shameless. For the sake of the army, she used Xie Weining like this, she was really a villain, and she was not much better than Xie Weining persecuting Brother Qingyun.
Lan Jing'an also tested Lao Du, but seeing that none of them knew about the love Gu, she didn't ask much. Lan Jing'an had calculated that the matter of the love Gu must be Xie Weining's own initiative, and it was likely that Emperor Xia would not know about it. And the reason why he gave himself a love trick was not for Xia Guo.
The more this happened, the more Lan Jing'an felt that it was tricky. She knew that if Xie Weining planted a love Gu for herself, it was something else, and he would definitely put his own life first. But if he had given it up at the beginning, just to get himself, then he could be said to care about nothing except his relationship with her.
In the past, Lan Jing'an might have scolded Xie Weining for being a madman. But now she knows that feelings are the most troublesome thing, and they are not controlled at all. She couldn't blame him too much except for sighing at him for being an idiot.
On the ninth day of August, Su Mei and Feng Yan arrived in Jiangling, and since then, the battlefield in Jizhou has completely become a man's world. When Su Mei and Feng Yan arrived in Jiangling, their moods were completely different, Feng Yan was sad and happy, while Su Mei was more worried than excited. Since Feng Yan had a family in Jiangling, Lan Jing'an asked her to get together with her family first and talk about it slowly. Su Mei was directly taken back to the Chengjing Hall by Biluan.
Su Mei was very worried about Lan Jing'an's body before, but when she saw that she was smiling and not looking like she was seriously ill, she was a little puzzled. Lan Jing'an didn't hide it from her, only said that she had to be in Jiangling for a while. Su Mei was the most loyal to her, but she didn't ask a word more.
Lan Jing'an asked her to repeat the affairs of Jizhou, especially Xiao Qingyun's situation, to herself. Su Mei said that she did take care of her during the time when the marshal was poisoned, especially after Doctor Jiang arrived at the camp, because Shen Junshi was more wary of Li Xie, at that time, she and Wu Wei basically took turns guarding the Chinese army tent all day.
But when the marshal woke up, he no longer needed her to serve. At that time, Li Xie shouted that he wanted to go back to the military medical center, and General Zheng Rong came forward. So Shen Junshi let her live with Li Xie again, and monitored Li Xie by the way. Although Li Xie was not very kind to her when the marshal was in a coma, he did not embarrass her again when he arrived at the military medical center. So she stayed there until she left Jizhou.
Lan Jing'an had heard Bai Qingfeng say before, Jiang Xianlin had confirmed that the antidote pills that Li Xie had prepared before were all right, and compared with Su Mei's words, she was even more sure that Li Xie's original goal was definitely herself, and it was definitely not Brother Qingyun. Thinking of this, Lan Jing'an breathed a sigh of relief. Although Li Xie hurt her, at least he saved Brother Qingyun. The hatred for Li Xie in her heart can also be reduced by that point.
Lan Jing'an asked about Wen Liang's situation again. She already knew before that Brother Qingyun had promised Wenliang after waking up, leaving Yu Wentu's life. But Xiao Qingyun ordered someone to break Yu Wentu's hamstrings and imprisoned him for life. Yu Wentu now has broken hands and feet, and his face has been scratched again, and he is basically not much different from a wasted person.
Wen Liang knew that he was guilty of a lot of crimes, and it was the best ending to be able to save his life, so in addition to being grateful to Xiao Qingyun, he could only desperately draw pictures and tools in the hope of making up for a little bit of the heinous crimes committed by Yu Wentu. It was precisely because of his giant crossbow and other objects that Xiao Qingyun was able to support him smoothly when his troops were significantly less than Dayong's.
And the wooden kite he reformed was of great help when he exchanged news with the Yanzhou cadres. This kind of wooden kite flies high, and can also bring a child-sized person, when the wind is down, it can withstand the sun without falling, and it is amazing in the world.
But Wenliang's body and bones have deteriorated because of Yuwentu's affairs. Especially during the period when Xiao Qingyun was in a coma and Lan Jingan was trapped in the southwest, he blamed himself and worried about Yuwentu day and night, if it wasn't for Doctor Sun paying attention to his situation, he was afraid that he would have tortured himself to death long ago.
Later, as Xiao Qingyun woke up, he finally calmed his heart, and Xiao Qingyun asked Jiang Xianlin to personally show him his pulse, and slowly recuperated him. By the time Su Mei left, although his body was not very good, he was at least a little farther away from the ghost gate.
When Lan Jing'an heard that Wen Liang now had the will to survive again, he was also relieved. The incident between Wenliang and Yu Wentu made her think about what the meaning of revenge was and how she should go on in her long life. She only thought about revenge before, and thought about helping Brother Qingyun return to a peaceful and prosperous world in the world. But I didn't think about what would happen after that.
Lan Jing'an has been thinking about it all this time. Especially after meeting Jiang Mingshu, she had faint doubts about what she had learned when she was a child. Is it the people who died in Gangneung for the sake of the country that are greater? Or are these people who know that living is a misery, but still persevere, and do not give up little hope, are more rare?
Lan Jing'an also had doubts about good and evil. Li Xie is evil to her, and brother Qingyun is good. But who knows that Li Xie's evil is not caused by the fact that he wants to completely drive her out of Brother Qingyun's side? And if you are good to the army, what about the Yuwen family? Isn't it a great evil? She especially remembered the three royal families of the Yuwen clan who surrendered to her at the beginning, but were sent to Gangneung to be killed, if their blood was necessary, what about the other people of the Yuwen clan?
The world says that good and evil will be rewarded in the end. Then she killed Yuwen Junping, Yuwen Tu harmed her and Qingyun's brother, who should this retribution be? Is it Yuwentu? Is it Wenliang? It's her? Or is it Brother Qingyun?
Lan Jing'an had no answer, only in the dead of night, he had more sleeplessness.
