"Gotta go. Wang Zhikun didn't say these four words, he just glanced coldly at these generals in the camp tent, patted the table, and said seriously: "The governor of Bendu doesn't care who these black horsemen are, Ben Shuai only knows that the Privy Council's winter training instructions make it clear that the three thousand horses of the Yanjing battalion can be stopped from entering Dongyi!"

The three thousand Yanjing soldiers were just a temptation, they were the vanguard, and they were the attitude shown by the imperial court as they pressed on the prince step by step. Wang Zhikun's eyes narrowed slightly, and the cold light in his eyes gradually rose, squeezing his voice into an ice line: "No matter what, the 10,000 soldiers led by His Highness are my Daqing people after all, and it is impossible for His Highness to risk mutiny and bring those soldiers to block, so the problem at hand is that there are a thousand black horsemen scattered in the area of Niutou Mountain, and then Rì will pass the Privy Council order to the other party, if the other party still refuses to give way...... That only proves that they are no longer our army in Daqing. ”

"But...... His Majesty's attitude towards Lord Xiao Fan is still unclear. A general said worriedly, if the Yanjing camp really fights with the black cavalry, it will wait for the official faction with Fan Xian's forces to tear their faces, the current atmosphere in the capital is very delicate, the generals in Yanjing City do not know what to do with Fan Xian in the palace, if they just want to cold Fan Xian, then now the hands under the Yanjing camp are too black and heavy, and it will not be easy to come back in the future.

The camp tent is deep in Yanjing City, but it is actually a very large room, but it uses a very strong military name. At this time, these generals in the house are all Wang Zhikun's direct cronies, so many things are relatively taboo to say, and some things can be explained thoroughly.

The worry that the general said before was actually the worry in Wang Zhikun's heart, His Majesty had indeed cleared all of Fan Xian's official positions, but he had never really asked for the crime, who knows what the situation will develop into in the future?

Outside Yanjing City, the 1,000 black cavalry with a ghostly flavor at the foot of Niutou Mountain is indeed a very strong force, but Wang Zhikun has led the troops for 20 years, and the Yanjing battalion has 100,000 jīng soldiers.

The problem at the moment is that it is impossible for the Yanjing side to devote all its troops, once the war is ignited, Dongyi City will only belong in name, but the people's hearts will not be decided at all, I am afraid that it will really lead to the first real civil war in Qingguo.

Wang Zhikun would not dare to bear this kind of historical responsibility under any circumstances. Especially his status in the army has climbed to the top, no matter what merits he makes on the battlefield, at most he will return to Kyoto like Ye Shuai, become the chief envoy of the Privy Council, and make further progress in his reputation, but in fact there is no benefit, for this governor of Yanjing, life has little room for him to struggle.

So he must think about his family lineage and the future, although his majesty is still proud of the world, but his majesty is old after all...... There will always be a day in the future, if Fan Xian can survive this turmoil this time...... No, even if Fan Xian can't survive, but in the future, when the third prince sits on the dragon chair, with his affection for Fan Xian, will he tolerate himself?

Wang Zhikun's brows were furrowed very tightly, after all, he was a military marshal, and he was strategizing on the battlefield, but it was difficult to notice the movement in the details, the matter of the Kyoto draft did not let him understand His Majesty's intentions, his brows were furrowed and loose, and he finally made up his mind, and said coldly: "If anyone dares to stop them, they will be disarmed directly!"

............ All the Yanjing generals left the camp with their own thoughts and worries, because they didn't know whether Hou Rì's military operation would really clash with the black cavalry, and they didn't know whether the highness in Dongyi City would really lead the 10,000 jīng Rui Donggui to confront the Qingguo border army head-on, and it was summed up in one sentence that these loyal generals of Qingguo were worried about whether the first civil war in Qingguo would break out in the places under their jurisdiction.

Governor Wang seemed to have made up his mind, but that night he went to Meifu and found Mei Zhili, the civil official leader of Yanjing City.

Mei Zhili is a protégé of Liu Guogong, although he does not have a deep relationship with Fan, but he is also familiar with Fan Xian, after hearing Wang Dashuai's sincere request, this Mei Daren indifferently asked Wang Zhikun a word.

"Yu'er is still in Kyoto, right?" Mei Zhili left the position of Yin in Kyoto Prefecture from the fourth year of Qingli, and came to Yanjing City, where he cooperated well with Wang Dadu's military and political affairs, and there were very few things. And the Governor of Wang Dadu also deeply understands the vision and strategy of this Lord Mei, just saying that this Lord can retreat from the position of the governor of Kyoto Prefecture, you know this person's ability in the officialdom. The two have a good personal relationship, so Master Mei called Miss Wang as natural as she treats her juniors, and only called the word Yu'er.

As soon as he heard the word Yu'er, Wang Dadu's face remained unchanged, and his unusually tough heart, which was polished by the ice and snow on the battlefield, trembled unexpectedly. He knew what Mei Zhili wanted to point out.

Wang Yu'er has entered Prince He's Mansion in June this year and became the side concubine of the eldest prince, and this young lady was ordered by Fan Xian'er to be ordered by Fan Xian'er before she got married, and she was taught a lesson for several months. Not only Kyoto Yanjing, in fact, most people in the world know that in addition to the four sons of Fan Men, Fan Xian also has three distinguished students, one is the third prince, the other is Ye Ling'er, the second is the young lady of the Ye family, and the third is the young lady in the palace of the governor of Yanjing.

Nanqing Tianxia, the first emphasis on filial piety, the second emphasis on the word teacher, with the relationship between Yanjing Wangfu and Fan Xian, the thousand black horsemen stopped at the foot of Niutou Mountain, it seems a little complicated. Wang Zhikun glanced at Mei Zhili, and said after being silent for a long time: "There is a decree in the palace, and there is an order in the Privy Council, even if there will be some discussions in the future, this matter must be done." ”

"The Metropolitan Governor misunderstood. Mei Zhili looked at his nose and nose, his nose looked at his heart, he had escaped from the whirlpool of Kyoto politics for several years, and he didn't plan to participate in this major event, but he was born in the Guogong Mansion, and the relationship between the Yi Gui Concubine and the three princes in the palace was too deep, although he is in Yanjing now, if he really wants to escape in the future, I am afraid it will be extremely difficult to escape, so tonight, he will tell these words thoroughly in front of Wang Zhikun.

"The teacher-student relationship between Xiao Fan and Yu'er is certainly worrying, but the most critical ...... Still ......" Mei Zhili sighed, looked at Wang Zhikun and said: "You want to send troops to Dongyi City, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that His Royal Highness has not listened to the will of Kyoto at all, and Yu'er ...... If His Royal Highness really occupies Dongyi and sets himself up as king, even if you gather 100,000 troops from Yanjing to defeat Dongyi, how will Yu'er deal with herself in the palace?"

Wang Zhikun has guarded the frontier for Nanqing for many years, suffering from bitter cold, but when he is not confused, he has an extra daughter, and he loves him like a baby, so he can't help but be arrogant, which created Wang Yu'er's bad habits, and it was Fan Xian who forcibly suppressed this Wang Yu'er's bad temper. Every time he thinks about this, Wang Zhikun secretly feels a little grateful to Lord Xiao Fan, but today he was so much by Mei Zhili, he said in a daze: "Could it be that Lord Xiao Fan has long predicted the current situation?

Thinking of this, Wang Zhikun's heart was cold, he didn't expect that the little grandfather would be so far-sighted, it was really palpitating.

At present, Wang Zhikun's position is really a little embarrassing, although the Yanjing camp is strong, but the blade is to the east, but it is already within the strength of the eldest prince and Fan Xian, and there is an inseparable relationship between these two young magnates and Wang Zhikun, one is his son-in-law, and the other is his daughter's husband.

Mei Zhili pondered for a moment and said, "As for what Lord Xiao Fan thought at the beginning, it is not interesting for you and me to speculate now, but there is a sentence that must be reminded of the Metropolitan Governor...... I can think of the problem here, and the one in the palace can naturally think of it, but the Bisheng Palace has not dealt with Yanjing. ”

He raised his head, glanced at Wang Zhikun lightly, and said, "If Lord Xiao Fan really predicted the current situation, it can only be said that he has far-reaching vision. If your Majesty suspects that you are not attentive enough, no matter who comes here, I am afraid that it will be difficult to condense the hearts of the Yanjing army, so that the safety of Dongyi City will naturally be a little more guaranteed. ”

"My loyalty to His Majesty, if Fan Xian wants to take advantage of this, it will not work. There was no anger in Wang Zhikun's words.

Mei Zhili nodded and said: "Obviously, this arrangement of Lord Xiao Fan has not worked, and the Kyoto side has not taken any action against Yanjing City...... Even the military order of the Privy Council and the secret decree of the palace this time are actually a test for the Metropolitan Governor of the Metropolitan Council. ”

Wang Zhikun was awe-struck, clasped his fists, and said, "Be taught." ”

Mei Zhili's face was still solemn, and he said slowly: "But the Metropolitan Governor, you really don't think about Yu'er anymore? If you can really conquer Dongyi City in a battle, you will naturally be the hero of my Daqing, but once the civil war breaks out, the war will continue...... Pressure from all sides will pile on you. ”

"But what can be done? If you really suppress the troops, you will be ashamed of your trust. Wang Zhikun raised his eyebrows and said heavily: "The conflict in Kyoto will eventually fall on the battlefield, as a courtier of His Majesty, there are many things...... Had to do it. ”

"I have to do it, I can't do it...... then do not. Mei Zhili looked at him quietly, and after a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said: "To say a word, this is a family matter of the Son of Heaven after all, you and I, who are courtiers, of course must be loyal to Your Majesty, but if Qingguo really breaks out in a civil war, how can you and I explain to the world?" The changes in Kyoto should have fallen on the battlefield, but that little Fan and His Majesty obviously didn't want this turmoil to be too far-reaching, otherwise His Majesty wouldn't have kept a tone for Xiao Fan, and Xiao Fan wouldn't have been honest as this rich idler in Kyoto. ”

"Those two are guarding that bottom line, please keep in mind this bottom line when the Metropolitan Governor sends troops, coercion is allowed, aggression is allowed, but if it really bleeds, I think ...... It's very unwise, but I'm afraid that what His Majesty wants is not this result. ”

"But the other party is a black horseman, and those wolf cubs in the Supervision House don't know what it means to back down. Wang Zhikun closed his eyes and said: "This measure is too difficult to grasp, not only to send troops, but also not to really fight, not only to miss His Majesty's plan, but also to prevent the situation from expanding too strictly." ”

Speaking of this section, Wang Dadu sighed deeply, he has spent his life in the shadow of swords and swords, but he has never encountered such a complicated situation now, if he wants to fight, it is the simplest, even if the other party is Fan Xian, the eldest prince, but if the eastern part of the empire is really disrupted, His Majesty will be unhappy.

"Since His Majesty has a secret purpose, it is necessary to fight, at least it is necessary to really confront each other and suppress the momentum of the black horseman. Mei Zhili lowered his eyes slightly and said: "The will of the palace must be carried out, the wind and rain press down like a mountain, how many can the black horsemen resist? Although they are a group of cold-blooded cavalry who kill people like numb, after all, His Royal Highness is not, and neither is Lord Xiao Fan." ”

"This situation can't be maintained for a few years, and after all, it will tear its face in the end. Wang Zhikun looked at him and reminded: "Your Majesty's will is here, I don't want His Majesty to mistakenly think that I am ineffective." ”

"No, there will definitely be some opportunity to stabilize the situation between Yanjing and Dongyi City. Mei Zhili looked at him and suddenly smiled slightly, and said: "Lord Xiao Fan has spent so much effort on Yu'er, in the relationship between you and the eldest prince, in order to seek a balance between the two sides at the moment, as for the will of His Majesty...... I think he must have a way to get this thing done. ”

"Although the will is difficult to disobey, the governor really does not want to meet my sons and daughters in Daqing on the battlefield. Wang Zhikun's brows furrowed deeply, and after a while, he said slowly: "It's just that I can't see the current situation, and there is any way to make this governor not miss his will, but also withdraw his troops from Niutou Mountain." ”

"Then it depends on Xiao Fan's means. Mei Zhili calmly stretched out a finger, "If you want to continue to maintain, you need a variable, what this variable is, we don't know, but Lord Xiao Fan must know." ”

Wang Zhikun sighed: "I don't believe he can do this, but if he can really find this variable within five days, I am afraid that I will admire him like Yu'er." ”

After two years, there was a solemn atmosphere inside and outside the city of Yanjing City, and the border troops gathered from various military camps gathered in front of the city and marched to the east, but after half a time, they had already joined the 3,000 Yanjing battalion soldiers sent before and came to the foot of Niutou Mountain.

An official road passes through the foot of Niutou Mountain, passes through the edge of the golden and bright late autumn mountain forests, and extends in the direction of the coast of the East China Sea.

The black army gathered here, the flag fluttered in the wind, the cavalry was lightly armoured, and the murderous spirit was surging, this army had exceeded 10,000 people, and the momentum looked terrifying.

However, it was such a menacing Qingguo border soldier who was stranded at the foot of Niutou Mountain and could not enter a single step, because at the entrance of the official road at the bottom of the mountain, there were three rows of cavalry in black armor waiting for them.

There were only three rows, with a total of more than 100 black sè cavalry, but they exuded a palpitating yīn cold smell and stopped in the middle of the official road, and on the gentle slopes on both sides of the mountainside, there were two more intense black sè ink lines, which were also black horses.

In order to show his loyalty to His Majesty, Wang Zhikun, the governor of Yanjing, sent 10,000 border troops over this time. Of course, the Metropolitan Governor himself would not personally lead the troops, and the leader of the troops was one of his close generals, who had already received secret orders.

The general looked at the black cavalry on the official road in the distance, and felt a little chill in his heart, Qing ** Fang has been famous for the black cavalry of the six places of the Supervision Yuan for a long time, and he has been jealous for a long time, because the other party has the best equipment, the best war horse, and the light armor on his body is all personally built by the three major squares of the inner library, and it is completely made of gold.

There has always been a legend within the military that the black riders are not more than a thousand, and more than a thousand are invincible, which is of course because in the past few decades of cooperation, the generals of the Qing ** side are deeply aware of the power of these black horses, but also because of the reason that the number of black horses is strictly limited to less than 1,000 in the Qing law and will.

Of course, there are also military generals who are not convinced, the Qing army's jīng is famous all over the world, whether it is the Dingzhou cavalry or the long arrow battalion of the Beida Battalion, they are all famous people, how can they be willing to let a subordinate cavalry of the Supervision Yuan steal all the glory.

However, three years ago, during the Kyoto Rebellion, Fan Xian sneaked into Kyoto with five hundred black horsemen, and fought a bloody battle under Zhengyangmen.

That was the old Qin family's jīng rui! Even Qin Heng was picked to death by the black horse's gun! This iron-clad fact made Qing ** Fang really understand the power of the black horse, and no one dared to underestimate the other party anymore, and even had some kind of indescribable fear in his heart.

This Yanjing general squinted at the lone rider in front of those black horses, and from the other party's silver mask, he clearly knew the identity of the other party, the commander of the six black horses of the Supervision Yuan, the silver-faced Jing Ge!

The Yanjing general's heart was slightly cold, because he knew that the black cavalry commander on the opposite side was the fierce general who picked Qin Heng with one shot.

After thinking for a moment, the Yanjing general took a few personal soldiers, clamped the horse's belly, and leaned towards the defensive line of the black cavalry in the sound of clicking.

"Commander Jing. The Yanjing general instructed his subordinates to hand over the Privy Council's order to transfer troops, and said in a deep voice: "Please also ask you to give way." ”

Jing Ge silently accepted the order of the Privy Council, looked at it twice, and said: "The headquarters is only under the jurisdiction of the Supervisory Yuan, and has not received the order so far, so ...... Forgiveness. ”

The eldest prince led 10,000 jīng soldiers in fact, he was also stationed in the territory of the Song State not far from Niutou Mountain, just to deal with the inquiries of the imperial court, so it was impossible for him to personally lead the troops to stop him, so he had to hand over this messenger to the black cavalry.

The mask on Jing Ge's face glowed with cold silver light, looking at the dense Yanjing army opposite, and said in a deep voice: "I was ordered to garrison Dongyi, and it is strictly forbidden for irrelevant people to enter, if anyone dares to take a step...... There is no mercy for killing. ”

His words were clear and calm, but there was an undoubted affirmation.

But now Fan Xian is no longer the president of the Supervision Yuan, and it is even more of a joke to only listen to the orders of the Supervision Yuan, if Bingyun really sent the officials of the Supervision Yuan to transfer troops, I am afraid that these black horsemen will slash the people with a clean and neat sword, and then burn the orders of the Yuan into a cloud of black ashes.

At this sentence, the Yanjing generals were slightly angry in their hearts, and said in a cold voice: "This is the will of the imperial court, could it be that you want to resist the decree?"

Jing Ge didn't answer this, but after finishing the conversation that should have been conducted, he reminded: "Don't think about taking a detour into Dongyi, the headquarters doesn't want to go over the mountains and mountains to hand over your weapons." With that, he took the reins of his horse and returned to the midst of the solemn black cavalry, the iron spear hanging from the saddle shining coldly.

The Yanjing general took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, squinted and observed these black cavalry close at hand, after looking at it for a while, he had to admit that the other party's equipment was far superior to his own, and looking at the weight of those equipment, it can also be known that the individual soldiers of these cavalry and even the su zhì of the war horses are far above the generals of the Yanjing battalion...... Although there are only a thousand people, how easy is it to rush in with as little blood as possible in the face of these thousand killing gods?

............ The real confrontation between the Yanjing camp and the black cavalry has entered the third day, which is also the fifth day in the calculation of Wang Dadudu, and the two sides occasionally have some small frictions, and the fighting spirit and anger of the Yanjing side have already surged, and although the number of people on the black cavalry side is small, it is still indifferent and not like ordinary people, and it is not very excited.

It was when the saber rattling was tense that the governor of Wang Dadu also felt that he couldn't stand it anymore, and he had to teach these black riders a lesson. Because His Majesty's will is here, he can wait for five days, he has already given Fan Xian and the eldest prince enough time to react, if the Yanjing side still maintains a confrontational situation, and cannot enter Dongyi, I am afraid that the emperor in Kyoto will be angry.

At the moment when Wang Zhikun was about to issue a military order, forcibly enter the front line of Niutou Mountain, and charge the black horse, suddenly, a general with a battle report on his face and a battle report rushed into the governor's mansion quickly.

Wang Zhikun squinted at the content of the battle report, and felt a chill in his heart, he didn't expect that Fan Xian could really make a variable in the north of Daqing, and this variable was a variable that he couldn't think of!

He knew that his army could be withdrawn, and he did not disobey His Majesty's will, nor did he let the civil war break out within his jurisdiction, which was an extremely wonderful thing, but for some reason, Wang Zhikun's eyes did not have a trace of calm, full of worry.

The military newspaper came from Cangzhou Beidaying, and it was clearly written that the Shangshan Tiger, who was recuperating in Shangjing in the Northern Qi Dynasty, suddenly returned to the border line, led 100,000 heroes to the southern line, and had pressed to a place seventy miles north of Cangzhou!
