Chapter 80: The Man Behind the Scenes

Although Shunping didn't look down on the Empress Dowager Feng in his heart, he knew that he was intimate, and when he heard Feng Junyang speak like this, he only hung his head and held his breath, not daring to respond. Feng Junyang is an extremely self-controlled person, who has been taught to be moody and insensitive since he was a child, and now he can say these words a little out of control. He closed his eyes for a moment, slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and then his face gradually became normal, and he ordered: "Send a message, ask Fan Jingyun to come back from outside the gate." ”

In April, Qi Xiang led an army to attack Shengdu, but Feng Junyang led his troops to continue westward to rescue Yuzhou, which was besieged by Buliu Guxiao, and at the same time, Zheng Lun also received an order from Feng Junyang to continue to stay in Jizhou and exterminate the soldiers and horses of the Xian Helan Army.

Feng Junyang's behavior of abandoning Jiangnan and only resisting the invasion of foreign races with all his might greatly exceeded the expectations of the world, and for a time there were different opinions, mixed reviews, some people praised it for putting the righteousness of the family and country first, but some people said that Feng Junyang was just arrogant and arrogant, and he was a man who sold his reputation and reputation.

In the Taixing City Guard, after He Zhen got the exact news that Feng Junyang had continued to lead his troops westward, the haze that had been covering his eyebrows for many days dissipated, and Bai Zhang, who was sitting opposite him, said: "Qi Xiang is young in the end, he can't hold his breath, he made trouble in advance like this, and almost ruined my big thing." ”

Hearing this, Bai Zhang glanced at He Zhen with a smile, unhurriedly twisted up the chess pieces, and said: "You are really risky enough, you actually gamble with Taixing, and you are not afraid that Feng Jun Yang will really abandon Jiangbei and return south." Fortunately, he is still young and vigorous, thinking about what he wants for the righteousness of his family and country, otherwise what will your brother use to block Tuoba Yao's hundreds of thousands of troops? When Taixing is broken by Sugu Yue, you will regret going! ”

He Zhen smiled faintly and said unhurriedly: "When the national strength of the Northern Desert was at its peak, the famous general Zhou Zhiren of the Northern Desert surrounded Taixing for two years with more than 100,000 elite soldiers, and he failed to break the gate of Taixing. One of the ancient Yue Wufu, who cobbled together 100,000 miscellaneous troops in the Northern Desert, actually wanted to take away my Taixing, but it was just a joke. ”

He Zhen was not arrogant when he said this. It has been more than a year since Taixing was besieged in the spring of last year, and the ancient Yue has repeatedly attacked and lost a lot of soldiers and horses, but it has not been able to capture Taixing. During the summer flood last year, Su Guyue even dug the embankment on the east side of Taixing, thinking that it would flood Taixing, but the defenders and people in the city moved to a high place, which did not affect the defense of the city at all. In desperation, Su Guyue had to suspend the siege of the city, divide the troops to take several small cities near Taixing, and form an encirclement of Taixing, besieging but not attacking.

Bai Zhang also smiled with He Zhen, dropped the chess piece in his hand, and asked casually, "When will the navy be transferred to the east?" ”

According to He Zhen's original design, it was to wait for Feng Junyang and Tuoba Yao to fall into a place of endless death, and then the Taixing Navy secretly went east to take Yiping. didn't want to change too much, first the Xian's Helan Department crossed Yanci Mountain and entered Jizhou, forcing Feng Junyang to transfer troops from Jiangnan to the north again, which led to Qi Xiang's early attack...... This step by step has deviated a lot from He Zhen's initial expectations.

He Zhen pondered for a moment and replied, "I have to wait a little longer, and I will wait for Zheng Lun and He Lanyuan to divide the victory and defeat." Judging from the current situation, Zheng Lun has a better chance of winning, and it would be best if he could lead his troops to return south to fight with Qi Xiang. ”

Bai Zhang nodded slowly, and after a while, he said with a smile: "It's just that I don't know if Shengdu can hold out until Zheng Lun leads the troops back, if Qi Xiang captures Shengdu early, I see that Feng Junyang will not see Zheng Lun to go back." ”

He Zhen said: "Shengdu City is full of food, and there are 30,000 forbidden troops in the city, as long as the guards are not stupid, it is not difficult to defend for a few months." ”

I don't want to think this time, but He Zhen is wrong. Just half a month after Qi Xiang led the army to besiege Shengdu, a small captain in the forbidden army in the city secretly surrendered to the enemy, opened the gate of Shengdu at night, and let Qi Xiang's army enter the city, and Shengdu was broken. And the captain was none other than Xiao Monkey, who worshipped Jing Yuxuan as a teacher with Chen Nian.

In the third year of Yongning, Xiao Hou'er betrayed Juyi Village, went to Shengdu with Feng Junyang, changed his name to Xiao Dehou and entered the forbidden army, but he was not reused by Feng Junyang, and he was mixed in the army for a few years before he only achieved the rank of captain. This person has a flexible mind, but he has no virtue, and he feels that Feng Junyang is sorry for himself, and when he saw that Qi Xiang's army was coming to attack Shengdu, he simply secretly voted for Qi Xiang.

When the news came back to Jiangbei, Wen Daya was angry at first, but then he was happy, and said to Chen Nian: "That Xiao Monkey is a wolf-hearted and dog-lunged, but Feng Junyang also deserves it!" If he hadn't tempted him with his power, how could Xiao Monkey betray us? Now that Xiao Monkey has betrayed him again, it's really a report and a report, deserved! ”

Chen Nian's expression was flat, and he only said: "It's okay if you say this in front of me, but you have to control your mouth, don't talk about it in front of Zheng Lun." ”

Wen Daya smiled when he heard this, "Look at what you said, no matter how stupid I am, I won't go to General Zheng to scold his master." Don't worry, big boss. ”

Chen Nian nodded slowly, "That's good." ”

After a while, Wen Daya couldn't help but pull the corners of his lips again, and said with a smile: "I see that Feng Junyang may not know Xiao Monkey'er's personality, you just listen to the name he changed to others, Xiao Dehou, Xiao Dehou, isn't it that Xiao Monkey added the word 'De', and wanted to add some virtue to him!" ”

Chen Nian had never thought of this, she was slightly stunned when she heard this, and after thinking about it carefully, this really seemed to be Feng Junyang's actions, she smiled unconsciously, and said, "It's really like this." ”

The two of them were laughing, Zheng Lun came in from outside the tent, his eyes stopped on Chen Nian's face, and then he asked, "What are you saying so happily?" ”

When Chen Nian heard this, he replied casually: "It's nothing, Brother Wen just said a joke." ”

Zheng Lun is not a good person, and his temperament has always been dull, Chen Nian replied like this, obviously he had no intention of talking to him in detail, he shouldn't ask again. But seeing that Chen Nian still had a shallow smile on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, he couldn't help but ask, "What joke?" ”

Chen Nian was stunned by his question, slightly dumbfounded, she didn't expect Zheng Lun to get to the bottom of it like this, and she really made up a joke for him for a while, so she had to pull the corners of her mouth, "Uh, a very funny joke." As soon as she thought about it, she turned her head and threw the problem to Wen Daya, and said, "Brother Wen, tell the joke just now." ”

Wen Daya couldn't, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "That's the case, I just heard a very funny joke and wanted to tell it to the big boss, but I don't remember the joke." ”

Zheng Lun waited for a while, but didn't see him say any more, so he couldn't help asking, "Then what?" ”

"And then, and then it's gone." Wen Daya's eyes widened innocently, and he said seriously: "This is a joke, doesn't General Zheng think it's funny?" ”

Wen Daya clearly made Lai fool Zheng Lun, but Zheng Lun was really fooled, and after thinking about it, Fang replied: "I don't think so." ”

Before the words fell, Chen Nian couldn't help laughing, and laughed with a "poof". Zheng Lun's thick eyebrows raised slightly, looking at Chen Nian. Chen Nianqiang held back a laugh, cleared his throat, and explained, "I'm laughing at the joke told by Brother Wen. I've heard it once, but I can't help but laugh when I hear it again. ”

The corners of her lips were tense, and although her face was serious, there was a smile in her eyes that could not be hidden.

Zheng Lun had already realized that Wen Daya and Chen Nian were teasing him at this time, and he didn't feel slightly embarrassed, but it could be seen that Chen Nian was looking at himself with a smile like this, but there was a slight sweetness in his heart, and he didn't know whether he should be annoyed or happy for a while.
