Chapter 221: Two Countries

Wang Jin stood at the door and watched the Lin family's aunt and nephew leave, and when only the husband and wife were left, his face was bitter. [with _ dream]ā

Mrs. Wang couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter, as if someone bullied you." ”

"Isn't it just bullying me," Wang Jin said, "You don't know how many things I promised her in this hour." ”

Mrs. Wang smiled indifferently, "Don't you often say that you treat her like a sister, their aunts and nephews are lonely and weak, what's wrong with you as a brother, look at your stingy appearance." ”

Wang Jin blushed, but he couldn't tell his wife the truth, so he could only keep it in his heart, becoming more and more aggrieved.

Then when I went to see Cui Liang and Wuyang, I couldn't help but get angry, they were all made by these two people, although the literati are light, they always want to compete for the first, but they can only improve themselves to catch up with others, how can they suppress the people in front of them with intrigue and substitution, and replace them themselves?

This kind of crooked and evil way can be used for a while, can it be used for a lifetime?

The world is not stupid, it will always know.

The Cui family is also a big family, and now it is more prosperous than the Wang family, and they have military power in their hands.

So if you want to deal with him, you really have to be more careful, Wang Jin didn't tell anyone, and he didn't dare to use the people in the family to secretly send his henchmen out.

At the same time, Xie Dalang was also targeted, and the people sent out by Yi Han stared at him twelve hours a day, and at the same time, his affairs in the past three years were also found out little by little.

He really doesn't have any big problems in the capital, after all, he is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the Xie family's family background is here, and the emperor is strict, not only him, but also many powerful children dare not be too presumptuous.

So it's really a bit difficult for Lin Qingwan to grab the other party's handle and kill people, there are no big mistakes, small mistakes are constant, and these small mistakes will not kill people even if they accumulate for ten years.

Yi Han stood silently below, watching their master slowly move his gaze to the right, nodded to the table and said, "What about Xie Hong and Xie Yan?" Check them out. ”

Yi Han was surprised, "Grandma, this is about government affairs." ”

Xie Hong is a third-grade official, and if he wants to pull him down, how big a handle is it?..

Lin Qingwan nodded at the table and said thoughtfully: "Xie Hong is cautious, he can't find it there, so he will check Xie Yan." ”

Lin Qingwan didn't believe that the Xie family's father and son had been officials in the court for so many years, but what Yi Han said was right, to deal with the father and son would involve government affairs.

Now that she's in the whirlpool, adding this one is just one more.

Her eyes darkened slightly, and she took out a letter from the side to write, "Send the letter to General Zhong of Hongzhou." ”

"Hongzhou is at war, I'm afraid that General Zhong won't be able to take care of this side."

"This is cooperation," Lin Qingwan said: "Pass the letter to her, not only to cooperate, I have given sincerity, of course she must reciprocate." ”

"Grandma is still angry with her?"

Lin Qingwan was silent, just staring at Yi Han with sharp eyes, Yi Han lowered his head and said, "Yes, the little one will send the letter." ”

The war in Hongzhou is in full swing, the reinforcements have rushed to Hongzhou, and the first batch of grain and grass has also been sent to Hongzhou from Suzhou, Zhong Ruying now has someone with food, and the goal has been achieved, no longer pressing the Zhong army, this outbreak directly beat the Chu army that has crossed the border, and even sang all the way across the Chu realm, seeing that it is about to capture the small county town of Chu located at the border.

Seeing this, the negotiator who had just arrived in the capital of Chu immediately changed his tone, not to sue for peace, but to ask Chu to compensate for their losses.

The state of Chu was half angry, and their monarchs and ministers were also very backbone, so they dragged the messengers of the girder here, and continued to increase troops to the border pass.

Zhong Ruying suffered heavy casualties for a while, and in a fit of anger, she ignored the emperor's will, sent people to make a detour and sneak attack, went down to the other party's two towns overnight, and took a light horse forward to kill ten miles, and took the head of one of the opponent's generals back.

This move directly provoked the fighting spirit of both sides, and now without the encouragement of the emperor, the soldiers on both sides burst out with great fighting spirit, and there is a great tendency to die.

At this time, not only the officials of the main peace were shocked, but the emperors and officials of the main war of the two countries were half frightened to death, for fear that the border war would be uncontrolled and would break out directly on a large scale.

Even Shangshu of the military department, who had been shouting to fight to the capital of Chu, couldn't help but say to the emperor in private, "At this time, there should not be a big war between Liang and Chu, otherwise Jiangling and Liao are only afraid that they will wait for the opportunity to move, and even the Fujian State on the side of peace will also be ready to move." Even if you want to subdue the Chu State, it should be when the Great Liang soldiers are strong and strong. ”

Meaning it's not the time yet.

At the same time, the ministers of the Chu State were also persuading their emperor, "Your Majesty, this time the soldiers Liang Jing was originally going to hit them by surprise, and by the way, find out the confidence of the Zhong family's army, now that they know it, why bother with the war again?" ”

"Yes, we have gained a lot from this dispatch, at least we know that Zhong Ruying is not in a good situation in Daliang, and there is a big article to be done here."

For the people of Chu, Daliang is a general threat, but Zhong Ruying and Zhong Jiajun are the immediate threat, although the casualties of those small fights every year are not large, but as long as they think of Zhong Ruying guarding Hongzhou, they are like a fish in their throats.

This time, they just wanted to take advantage of the fact that Da Liang was not paying attention to tear off a mouthful of meat from Zhong Ruying's hand, and the guard would lose, and the crime could be big or small, and then they would operate again, even if they couldn't pull Zhong Ruying, at least it would damage her reputation, so that they could let go of their hands and feet more in the future.

Who knew that the effect was gratifying, not only did they attack the Liang Realm, but Zhong Ruying's side also seemed to have an accident, and it didn't matter if there were no reinforcements, it seemed that there was not even enough food and grass.

It was precisely because of this information that they were in a hurry to increase their troops on the border, thinking that they would occupy a piece of land first when Emperor Liang couldn't react, and it was best to destroy Zhong Ruying and the Zhong family's army.

It's a pity......

Emperor Chu also said, "It's a pity, the temptation was too long before, and I didn't find out that something happened to her back, but let her spread the news of the rescue." ”

"I don't know who is dealing with her on the other side of Da Liang, it's stupid enough, if we send us a message early, we will definitely speed up the offensive, maybe Zhong Ruying will die early, and the good situation has allowed her to escape."

"The other party is a Liang person, do you dare to believe the news from over there?"

The minister choked and said, "After checking one party, after confirming that it is credible, it will naturally dare to believe it." ”

"It turns out that my courtiers of Da Chu are so powerful, and they can find out about Da Liang in Da Chu?" Hmph, he can find out, does this mean that he, the person in charge of the military department, is not dedicated?

"Alright, alright," Emperor Chu stopped their quarrel and asked, "Then what do you say about it, now that the border is like a blazing fire, if you don't deal with it, I'm afraid that there will really be a big war." ”

"Your Majesty, isn't the envoy of Daliang still there, summon him, I think Daliang doesn't dare to have a big war with my Dachu now, they still have Liao in the north of Daliang, I heard that Jiangling Mansion is not peaceful today."

The courtiers of Daliang are also persuading Emperor Liang, "Your Majesty, it is better to let the envoys who are still in Dachu leak a little bit, we have just subdued the Southern Han Dynasty, and it is the time when we need to recuperate, and it is really not appropriate to have a big war." ”

"I also have to give General Zhong instructions to restrain the soldiers, and we shouldn't add fuel to the fire at this time."

Emperor Liang thought for a moment, hesitated for a moment in a hurry and seeking peace and stability, and asked, "If the Liao army goes south, the Northeast army may block it?" ”

The ministers felt a pang in their hearts, knowing that the emperor was on the side of the war, and they all looked at the three Shangshu above.

The official secretary Shangshu said: "Your Majesty, there are only nineteen generals in my Liang who can fight now. ”

Hubu Shangshu also reminded: "The treasury is empty, and now more than half of the grain and grass at the border pass is still provided by the Lord of Lin, Your Majesty, you can't fight a war and ask the Lord of Linjun to provide grain and grass, right?" ”

In that case, the imperial court is really faceless, and they all took how much grain the Lin family had.

The emperor coughed lightly and said, "Isn't the autumn harvest coming, and the summer tax has already begun to be collected." ”

Hubu Shangshu looked at the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu silently said: "Your Majesty, the canal leading to the Southern Han Dynasty is blocked, and this year it will be allocated to dredge, and the excerpt played by the minister and you and the Hubu Shangshu have passed." ”

The cost of connecting the canal is quite a lot, plus the cost of daily maintenance of other water conservancy projects, well, this year, the most money drawn from the Ministry of Households, in addition to the Ministry of War, may be the Ministry of Industry.

Suddenly, there was a feeling that their department was a fat water yamen.

The military department Shangshu hesitated for a moment, although he was moved, but he still came out and said: "Your Majesty, forcibly recruit Great Chu, my Liang has a sixty percent chance of winning, but if the Liao army goes south, I am afraid that even thirty percent will not arrive." ”

And at that time, the beam will still be in danger of destroying the country.

The small flame in Emperor Liang's heart was extinguished, and he said regretfully: "Then give General Zhong an order and let her restrain her." ”

Da Chu's side is also going to communicate.

In the past, the armistice agreement was very protracted, but at this time, there was an unscheduled time bomb Zhong Ruying on the border, and a large number of soldiers and horses were stranded at the border pass, and every day was a huge expense, so this time the armistice agreement was negotiated very quickly.

There is no way, Da Liang is afraid that Zhong Ruying will not be able to suppress his temper and run to the Chu army to kill and kill, provoking the anger of the other party, what if there is a big war?

And the Chu army was also afraid that Zhong Ruying would take the opportunity to provoke a war and destroy them, although it was their first move, but didn't they stop now?

In short, now both Da Liang and Da Chu are shouting "peace is precious", and then Zhong Ruying is holding her breath.

But she also knew that at this time, her willfulness was just sending Zhong Jiajun and Da Liang to death, but she could suppress her temper, but she felt sorry for the soldiers who died in this battle.

Her adjutant saw it and hurriedly brought her the letter he received a few days ago, "General, can you read the letter to relieve your boredom?" ”

Zhong Ruying frowned, "Didn't you let it be handed over to the military advisor for approval?" ”

"These are all things that the military advisor didn't have time to see, didn't the last general see that you were bored and panicked?"

Zhong Ruying flipped through the letters, and when she saw the letters mixed in them, she couldn't help but be angry, and patted his head: "How did the messenger soldiers wear it, why did Lord Lin's letter also be lost here?" ”

The adjutant general was stunned, "The last general doesn't know, this is not an urgent encrypted letter ......"

Isn't the letter from their general and the lord of Lin County always encrypted and expedited, so they didn't pay much attention to it, and the envelope was not right.

Zhong Ruying also noticed the change on the envelope.

In the past, Lin Qingwan wrote to her, and the envelope was either "Sister Zhong" or "Lord Ruying", but this time it was written "General Zhong", and even the handwriting was wrong.

If it weren't for the Lin family's seal at the bottom of the envelope, she would almost not have seen that this was the Lin family's letter.

She rubbed her forehead and said with a headache: "She's annoying me." ”
