Chapter 45

In the annex courtyard.

There was a sound of yawning, and inside the bamboo door, there was a faint rustling sound of dressing.

After a while, the bamboo door opened, and a handsome boy walked out.

"Childe, Mr. Lu Junwen has been here for a long time." The Tsing Yi servant said.

"Where is Lu Junwen?" Liu Yan stretched his waist and said.

The servant in Tsing Yi pointed out the door, "Mr. Lu Junwen is fishing by the pool. ”

Liu Yan hummed and walked out of the yard, but by the small pond to the west of the cottage, a green fir man was sitting and fishing.

Liu Yan also took a fishing rod, sat next to him, and caught a fish.

Lu Junwen glanced at him and said with a smile: "Liu Yan, the virtuous wife who got it is lying in someone else's arms right now, it's a shame that you still sleep so soundly, it's really yours!" ”

Liu Yan's eyebrows furrowed secretly, but he smiled blankly: "What kind of good wife, Junwen, what nonsense are you talking about, I don't understand." ”

"In front of old friends, don't pretend."

Lu Junwen put down the fishing rod, stared at him and said, "That Miss Song family, it was originally told to you by your father as a matchmaker, but you married that Xu Hanqiang, I don't believe that you don't have a trace of unhappiness in your heart." ”

"Father is just talking, I have never met Miss Song, and I have no marriage contract, who she marries and what does it have to do with me, why should I not be happy." Liu Yan said lightly, and there was no trace of resentment in his tone and demeanor.

"Is it really so free-spirited?" Lu Junwen smiled a little weirdly.

Liu Yan shook his head and sighed, too lazy to pay attention to him.

Lu Junwen's expression became serious, and he coughed a few times and said: "Let's not talk about Miss Song, no, it should be Mrs. Xu's business, Liu Yan, just talk about Xu Han, what do you think?" ”

Liu Yan was silent for a moment and said, "This person's actions are unexpected, which is really difficult for me to see. ”

For the first time, there was a blank look in his deep eyes.

"This Xu Han can reverse the crisis in a desperate situation, and the ability to use soldiers is really amazing. Dare to stand up and stand on his own in the current situation, and his courage is beyond ordinary people, Jiang Zheng, Man Li, Ling Zirui, Yi Xiancheng and others are willing to follow him, which shows that he has more extraordinary charm, in my opinion, this Xu Han is a hero in the world. ”

Lu Junwen sprinkled his words and admired Xu Han a little.

Liu Yan snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "He Xu Han is just a lucky person at most, where is he worthy of being called a hero." ”

"Okay, good, anyway, in my opinion, this Xu Han, whether he is a hero or a man of luck, is better than our Lord Han......" Lu Junwen's tone seemed to have another meaning.

A hint of discoloration flashed in Liu Yan's eyes, and he frowned and said, "Junwen, are you planning to go to that Xu Han?" ”

"I'm just talking, don't be so serious." Lu Junwen flattened his mouth, "But then again, the decisive battle of Shanchun City will be clear, and I am afraid that the two countries will fall again, and if we continue to lie dormant like this, I am afraid that what we have learned will be useless." ”

Liu Yan showed a hint of sarcasm, and his eyes returned to the fish drift in the pool.

After a while, Lu Junwen suddenly asked again: "Regarding Miss Song's incident, are you really not unhappy?" ”

Liu Yan turned his head and gave him a blank look.

Lu Junwen hurriedly smiled and said, "Okay, just when I didn't ask, let's fish quietly and catch big fish." ”

Both of them remained silent and concentrated on fishing.

I don't know when, Liu Yan's gaze quietly moved into the distance, and where his gaze was was the direction of Qianyang.

In those clear and deep eyes, there was a faint hint of loss.

……

After a while, when Xu Han opened his eyes the next day, it was already three poles in the sun.

Xu Han glanced at his wife in his arms, sleeping sweetly, and there was still a bit of aftertaste after yesterday's thrilling on his ruddy face.

Xu Han kissed her on the cheek.

Song Xinfu woke up, opened her eyes, and looked at the appearance of the two, and her face couldn't help but flush with shame.

Song Xinfu gently pushed him, and said with a smile: "The twists and turns of last night, how can the husband not be enough, this is all three poles in the day, and the husband, as the lord of the seven counties, should also take care of official affairs." ”

This little wife, who has just been newly married, can understand the general situation like this, and she is really a rare virtuous helper.

Xu Han didn't want to brush her mind, so he restrained his mind and got up with a smile.

Song Xinfu also got up, put on her clothes, and served Xu Han to wash and dress.

Half an hour later, the two of them walked out of the new house and went to the big party, and along the way, the servants and officials in the house asked the new lady for peace.

Song Xinfu was called "Mrs. Madame", and she was a little unaccustomed to it at first, but soon she adapted to her new role and was able to deal with it generously and calmly.

In the lobby, Ling Zirui had been here for a long time, and he was busy coming forward to salute.

The main minister talked a few words, and Ling Zirui gave Xu Han a secret look, which seemed to be a secret matter.

Song Xinfu was also very sensitive, so she said: "Husband and Mr. Ling should talk about business, and the concubine will take care of the housework." ”

Xu Han watched Song Xinfu leave, and then said: "Today is my first day of marriage, I don't think Mr. has any bad news to tell me." ”

Ling Zirui coughed a few times dryly, and said with a wry smile: "The old man didn't deliberately mess with the general's new marriage, but the old man does have not very good news, and he must report to the general." ”

"Could it be that Feng Binbin is not honest?" Xu Han asked lightly.

Ling Zirui was stunned and said curiously: "How does the general know that it is Feng Binbin?" ”

Sure enough, it was Feng Binbin.

The current situation is that Deng Zhe and Xiao Zhennan of Xuan Kingdom were defeated by themselves, and Emperor Deng lost his troops and was unable to draw troops to deal with him. As for Han Zhaofu, he was even more frightened by himself, even if he had the heart to deal with himself, he was afraid that he would not dare to make trouble in a short time.

In this way, apart from Feng Binbin in the south, who else can pose a threat to him Xu Han.

Xu Han unhurriedly said his reasons, and Ling Zirui looked appreciative, and couldn't help but be impressed by Xu Han's judgment.

Ling Zirui then carefully explained what he had detected about Feng Binbin's latest movements, and even a certain incident could be called an earth-shattering change.

It turned out that after Feng Binbin arrived in the south, he expanded his armaments, and many of the former Later Liang rebel army ant gathered, and Ji Fanqi on the front line of Xuan State, for some reason, led part of the Xuan State army to mutiny and defected to the army formed by Feng Binbin in the south.

This move undoubtedly made the Dexuan national army worse in the decisive battle of Shanchun City, and it is said that Emperor Deng was so angry that he was bedridden.

Subsequently, Feng Binbin reunited his old department, recruited nearly 10,000 rebellious troops, killed the defenders who had just recaptured Jiangyang in the south, and recaptured the city of Ancheng.

Since then, the southern counties have rebelled and fallen to Feng Binbin, and in less than a month, Feng Binbin's momentum has risen suddenly.

"When did Feng Binbin hook up with Ji Fanqi?" Xu Han's eyebrows frowned.

"I don't know." Ling Zirui shook his head, "Now that Feng Binbin has recruited troops and horses, he has not attacked Kaifeng in the north of Xuanguo, but has instead unified the army to the west and moved in the direction of Luoyang City, and there are signs of attacking Qianyang, so the old man has to rush to report to the general." ”

Xu Han nodded slightly, thinking about Feng Binbin's intentions in his heart, it was very likely that Feng Binbin would raise troops to move westward, replace him with Xu Han's occupation area, and seize control of the seven counties of Qianyang.

In the next step, whether Emperor Deng is defeated or Emperor Li is defeated, Feng Binbin can rely on Han Zhaofu as a backer and be invincible.

After thinking about this section, a sneer appeared at the corner of Xu Han's mouth: "It seems that Feng Binbin has taken a fancy to the feng shui treasure of Qianyang, and he really thinks that he wants to take food from me when he catches up with Ji Fanqi." ”

Ling Zirui nodded and said: "The general's judgment is the same as that of the old decay, it seems that it is inevitable that we will fight with Feng Binbin this time." This Feng Binbin was the former head of the Houliang Rebellion, and now he has returned to the former power of two or three out of ten, and his strength is far better than that of Shencheng Xiaozhennan, and the old man is worried, then the king of Han will repeat his old tricks and stab us in the back. ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn.

Feng Binbin led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to come, although the soldiers were not fine, but the momentum was quite heavy, not only Feng Binbin was quite capable of using soldiers, similar to Ji Fanqi These fierce people, which are more powerful than Xiao Zhennan.

This time, if Xu Han wanted to follow the example of defeating Xiao Zhennan last time, it would not be easy to defeat Feng Binbin with only 2,000 soldiers and horses.

And if Han Zhaofu sends troops to Qianyang again, the situation Xu Han is facing may be even more unfavorable than the last time.

Next to him, Yi Xiancheng also worried: "The last time the general burned the food of the fortress with strange soldiers, he was scared away, and this time if King Han enters the army again, he will definitely be more careful, so that King Han alone is not easy to deal with, not to mention Feng Binbin." ”

Yi Xian took such an analysis, and it seemed that Xu Han's situation seemed to be getting more and more serious.

Xu Han pondered for a moment, but suddenly laughed, laughing very disapprovingly.

Ling and Yi glanced at each other, their expressions were dazed, they couldn't understand how Xu Han could still be so calm and smile so easily in such a situation.

However, after only a moment of surprise, a smile rose on the corner of Ling Zirui's mouth.

He has followed Xu Han for so long, and he knows Xu Han well, and the more he encounters difficulties, the more confident and calm he becomes.

Xu Han's unique temperament is also the reason why Ling Zirui follows left and right, seeing this, Ling Zirui said happily: "Could it be that the general has a good plan to break the enemy?" ”

"There's no good way to break the enemy, but I dare to bet on one thing." Xu Han restrained his smile, his knife-like face revealing confidence.

Everyone was stunned, and they couldn't understand what Xu Han meant by this.

Xu Han didn't have much appetite for them, and said loudly: "I bet this time, Han Zhaofu's old thing will never dare to send troops to invade my Qianyang again." ”

"Why did the general say that?"

Ling Zirui expressed his doubts, and Yi Xiancheng on the side also had the same expression.

Xu Han said unhurriedly: "Although Han Zhaofu claims to have 100,000 armor, there are no more than two elite soldiers under his command, one is the Song Narrow Army of Guangling County, and the other is the army that stays in Luoyang. In the first two battles, Luoyang's army was defeated by us, and most of them were damaged, Mr. thinks, can Han Zhaofu still attack Qianyang's capital? ”

Wake up with a word, Ling Zirui suddenly realized.

At present, there are no more than 30,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Luoyang, of which only 20,000 are capable of fighting, and many of the 20,000 soldiers and horses are wounded, and their morale is also low, and most of them will not be able to recover their morale in a short time.

"The last time in Songjiazhuang, Han Zhaofu obviously had the opportunity to raise a large army to besiege and kill the general, but in the end, he only sneakily sent five hundred people, and he didn't dare to wear a military uniform. Mr. Xiancheng has also been with Han Zhaofu for many years, but Mr. Let's talk about it, why did Han Zhaofu move? ”

Xu Han said lightly, his gaze turned to Yi Xiancheng.

Yi Xian's original worried expression gradually regained his composure because of Xu Han's words.

After a moment of silence, Yi Xian raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth and spit out a meaningful sentence: "King Han is afraid of being beaten by the general. ”

Xu Han smiled and said nothing, obviously acquiescing to Yi Xian's words.

Hearing this, Ling Zirui completely understood that Xu Han's self-confidence was not groundless, but because he had deeply seen through the essence of Han Zhaofu.

After sighing at Xu Han's deep vision, Ling Zirui regained his confidence and said with a smile: "In this way, we only need to concentrate our forces to defeat Feng Binbin this time." ”

Xu Han nodded slightly, looked eastward, and muttered: "Feng Binbin, let me Xu Han see how many catties and taels you have!" ”
