Rest at night and talk to Mi Yan about it.

Mi Yan was a little surprised: "Although Lou Qu has a bad background, he looks skinless and faceless. But being able to say these words shows that the heart is not bad. If you teach carefully, you can lead to the right path. ”

"What, do you really want a son who is more than ten years older than us?" Ning Ze asked with his head sideways.

"That's not it," Mi Yan leaned on her husband, raised her head and said, "It's a shame to spread it! Besides, Lou Qu is not from a good background, I don't have anything, my husband has the identity of a princess and a concubine, not to mention accepting a son of such an age, this person is a beggar and has been a thief, and he has an impact on both the husband and the princess, and his reputation is not good." ”

Ning Ze said: "Lonely doesn't care about reputation, he just thinks it's outrageous. But it does have an impact on Yuanxiang, she herself is difficult to convince the public as a princess, and it is all because of my infamy to stand firm. This matter can be big or small, although it is mainly related to you and me, it really has to do with Yuanxiang but the main house. originally wanted Lou Qu to disappear in Bashan, but he didn't expect to be captured by Cheng Wansheng!"

According to what her husband said, Cheng Wan attaches great importance to Lou Qu. Mi Yan asked in a low voice, "Then he will send an envoy to discuss this matter with his husband." How to deal with this matter, have you thought about it?"

"It's okay for Lou Qu to die on the battlefield, but it's a little troublesome to be captured by Cheng Wansheng!"

"Why?"

"Although you and I don't admit it, Lou Qu's big mouth is talking nonsense everywhere, and everyone outside probably thinks he is our righteous son. Ning Ze said helplessly, "This is the reason why Cheng Wan attaches so much importance to it. Even if we don't admit it, we can't change the opinion of outsiders. If you ignore this matter, you and I will become ruthless in the eyes of the outside world. Lou Qu's performance in front of Cheng Wan will make the outside world's view of him more positive, and the comparison between the two highlights our ruthlessness. Lonely has a bad reputation, so I don't care about that. The problem is that we are already short of talents, and this matter is likely to affect the world's perception and make it more difficult for us to recruit talents. After all, to the outside world, even Yizi can give up ruthlessly, let alone subordinates. ”

Mi Yan was shocked when she heard this: "How should this be?"

"Cheng Wan sent someone over, sure the lion opened his mouth!" Ning Ze thought about it carefully, a smile appeared on his face, "It's okay, it's hard to be lonely!"

"Husband has an idea?"

"Talk! If he wants to negotiate, then let's talk. Ask for a price and pay back on the spot. How can the negotiations be negotiated in a day or two, let alone the 'righteous son'. ”

"What does the husband mean......"

"Talk slowly, talk patiently!" Ning Ze said with a smile, "Bring out all the details and talk bit by bit." To put it simply, it's about procrastination. At the same time of negotiation, we should hurry up and eliminate Chu Bai. As long as he is taken down as soon as possible, the pressure on Cheng Wan's side will be even greater. The longer it drags on, the easier it is for us to dominate the situation. Moreover, as long as we put on a negotiable posture, Cheng Wan must protect Lou Qu and prevent him from being harmed in the slightest. Whether the negotiation succeeds or fails, we are invincible!"

"It's so complicated!" Mi Yan's mind couldn't turn, "But it sounds like the husband is already in the chest?"

"Of course!" Ning Ze turned over with a smile and looked down at Mi Yan, "Madam, since we talked about our son, let's have one ourselves, right?"

"Don't~" Mi Yan suddenly blushed, "The princess is the biggest, before she is pregnant with Lin'er, she can't compete for the first place as a partial house, otherwise the rules will be broken." ”

"What a hassle!"

"It is natural for a concubine to serve her husband, but she really can't get pregnant in front of the princess. ”

"It seems that we have to work harder when we go back this time!Madam, let's rest in peace~"

"Hmmm......"

The Ning Ze army was stationed on the border with Qingshan County, ready for war at any time.

Several other troops and horses are all being mobilized, and they can attack Chu Bai at the same time just waiting for a signal.

Chu Bai also got the news, and he was extremely nervous and flustered.

Asked Lu Cong for help, but the other party couldn't spare his hand for the time being; Cheng Wan asked for help, Jiangzhou was too busy to take care of himself, not to mention that the traffic arteries were controlled by Ning Zejun, and the envoy estimated that he would be intercepted halfway.

Faced with this situation, they could only recruit troops and horses, prepare military rations, and consolidate the city's defense.

Soon after, the envoy from Jiangzhou rushed to Ningze's tent and informed him of the results of the battle in Bashan County.

At the same time, it shows that Lou Qu is well taken care of in Bashan County, and Cheng Wan wants to negotiate about this righteous son.

As Ning Ze expected, it was not unexpected.

Facing the envoy, Ning Ze asked, "What does Cheng Envoy Jun want?"

The envoy replied respectfully: "The envoy hopes that the Hou Ye will withdraw from the two counties of Wolf Mountain and Huairou and return the land of Jiangzhou. ”

It's really a lion who opened his mouth and wanted to change two cities.

Ning Ze thought for a while: "The thieves in Wolf Mountain and Huairou County have not been eliminated yet, and they want to kill all the thieves and return the people to safety." The king asked for the second county, which should not have been refused, but when it was critical, it was a big deal to be hastily handed over!"

The envoy hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Master Hou, so that you can suppress the thieves and keep the people safe." As long as Hou Ye's soldiers and horses withdraw from Wolf Mountain and Huairou, you will be able to send Lou Gongzi back safely!"

Having said that, he secretly said in his heart: Where did Wolf Mountain and Huairou come from? As a native of Jiangzhou, we know every inch of land better than you!

Ning Ze made a thoughtful expression, and then sighed: "Lone feels a great responsibility, so he doesn't dare to leave lightly!"

"Lord Hou doesn't care about the safety of Prince Ling?" the envoy asked.

Ning Ze responded: "Cheng Envoy Jun is an upright person, I don't think I will treat Lou Qu badly." The stakes are too high to be overlooked. It's just that he needs to go north to quell the chaos, otherwise he must go to Jiangzhou to talk to Cheng Envoy Jun in person. So be it, Mr. Qian!"

"In!" Qian Chun and Qian Shi brothers immediately stood up.

"The two are Lone's most relied on strategists, and Lone attaches great importance to this matter, hoping that the two gentlemen can go south and go to Jiangzhou to meet Cheng Envoy Jun and negotiate face-to-face!"

Qian Chun and Qian Shi replied: "Don't worry, Master Hou, we will do our best to complete this matter!"

"Ning Yong!"

"In!" escort Ning Yong immediately stepped out.

"This trip is very important, and I want you to bring a hundred guards to protect the two gentlemen. Ning Ze ordered, "After arriving in Jiangzhou, you must also pay attention to protecting Louqu Aquan." ”

"Whoa!"

Ning Ze turned to the Jiangzhou envoy: "Lonely and powerless, the two plenipotentiary representatives of Mr. Qian will talk to Cheng Envoy in detail." Their opinion is the opinion of the lonely. This is Lone's sincerity, I hope Cheng Yuanjun can also show his sincerity and try to negotiate a result that satisfies both parties!"

"What do you mean, what do you mean by the two gentlemen?" the messenger hurriedly asked.

"Exactly!" Ning Ze nodded, "Please take care of the envoy along the way, the two gentlemen are old, try to walk as slowly as possible on the road." ”

"The lower officials will take care of the two gentlemen," the messenger replied, "Don't worry!"

So he took the two brothers Qian Chun and Qian Shi, accompanied by Ning Yong and a hundred guards, and went south to Jiangzhou.

The civil and military forces in the camp all knew that Ning Ze sent two Mr. Qian over, just to delay time, stabilize Cheng Wan in the name of negotiation, and solve the problem after cleaning up Chu Bai, so the whole process was quiet.

After sending away the envoy from Jiangzhou, he immediately began to plan the attack on Chu Bai.

It's lively here, and it's not to be outdone.

The Tang Niu army fought against Hengshan County and fought fiercely for more than a month.

After a long attack, Zhou Yuan personally went to the northern wasteland to persuade the Puduo tribe to form an alliance.

The Puduo tribe sent troops to attack Hengshan and united with the Tang Niu army.

With the support of the Puduo army, and Tang Niu taking the lead, Hengshan County was finally breached.

The hussar general Zhou Hao led his troops south to guard Pinggu County.

Tang Niu's army immediately stormed Daxing County to capture this lonely city.

Sima Fa led his troops to attack Yanzhou, defeated the main army of southern Zhou, and successfully occupied Gu'an County.

Zhou Nan retreated to Ziwu County to resist Sima Fa's army.

Zheng Qing immediately went north and attacked Sima Fa from the rear, forming a flanking attack with Zhou Nan.

Sima Fa dealt with it easily and divided his troops to deal with Zhou Nan Zheng Qing, but instead suppressed both sides with fewer troops.

Zhou Nan fell into Sima Fasheng's plan to attack the east and west, and was defeated again, and Meridian County was captured, so he retreated to Aishan County.

Sima Fa pressed forward step by step, attacking Aishan.

Zheng Qing attacked in the rear, Lei He led the troops to meet the battle, and the two sides attacked each other.

Lei He put on a goose-shaped formation and broke Zheng Qing.

Zheng Qing was defeated and retreated, and Lei He led his troops in pursuit.

Taking advantage of their fierce fighting, Ma Jian sent troops to raid and quickly captured Zeshan County in Wuzhou.

Then he encircled Jiao Ping, the general of Loushan County, and captured the city with both inside and outside.

The rear lost two cities in a row, and Zheng Qing was shocked when he got the news. While sending a messenger to question why Ma Jian attacked, he quickly retreated and returned to help.

Lei He took the opportunity to send troops to attack Qiangyang County in Gunzhou.

Qiangyang Taishou Liu Pan personally guarded the city, and Dajing Taishou Li Shan knew the truth of the cold lips and teeth, so he sent troops to help.

Lei He sent someone to contact Ma Jian and invited him to send troops to attack Dajing and force Li Shan back.

The military advisor Feng Qiao asked Ma Jian to pretend to send troops to attack Dajing, and secretly attacked Chengde County, Yanzhou.

Zhou Nan was unable to rush to the aid of Sima Fa's offensive, and Ma Jian successfully captured Chengde County, and made a detour to attack Dajing from the side.

When Li Shan learned about it, he hurriedly retreated. Dajing is his foundation, and once it is lost, it will never be recovered.

On the way back to the city, Feng Qiao had already set up an ambush.

Originally, it was pretended to be a siege, and the main force bypassed Dajing and set up an ambush on the road.

Li Shan was ambushed and killed by random arrows, and his subordinates surrendered one after another.

Gathering the surrender army, Feng Qiao turned around and attacked Dajing, so Dajing City was broken and was also included in Ma Jian's hands.

Ma Jian won Dajing, and while Lei He and Liu Pan were fighting, he quietly marched to raid from the rear, and entered the city first with Feng Qiao's strategy.

Liu Pan surrendered, and Lei He saw that Ma Jian's army was reinforced, although he was angry at him, he also knew that the main force was on Sima Fa's side, and the little force in his hand could not fight against Ma Jian, so he retreated first.

Ma Jian's sudden rise to strength shocked all parties.

Zheng Qing fought fiercely with Ma Jian's army in Baotai County, and Ma Jian's military advisor Feng Qiao offered advice to let Ma Jian use him as bait to lure Zheng Qing's army out of the city, causing it to enter the mountain road and cause an avalanche.

Zheng Qing was defeated, hurriedly abandoned Baotai, and hurriedly fled back to Wubao County, the capital of Wuzhou.

Ma Jian occupied the five counties of Gunzhou, captured Chengde County of Yanzhou, and occupied the two counties of Zeshan and Loushan in Wuzhou.

Ma Jian was overjoyed, so he went all out to deal with Zheng Qing.

Without Zheng Qing's support, Zhou Nan faced Sima Fa's pressure alone, and hurriedly sent an envoy to Tang Niu for help.

So Tang Niu strengthened the offensive, quickly captured Daxing County, and mobilized a large army to attack the imperial capital Miliang.

This winter, Dacheng is extremely lively!
