The sea is stormy, the fishermen in the harbor do not hesitate to fight against the sea, just for that inconspicuous fishing boat, Zhong Roulan stood on the highest lookout tower in Yujun and looked at the sea, although it was thrilling to watch, but after watching it for a long time, it would be boring.

"Crisp pear..." Zhong Roulan shook her head helplessly, I don't know how many times it is, she is still used to staying by her side, it doesn't matter whether she is comfortable or not, the two have grown up together since childhood, and their relationship is no worse than that of the two sisters.

"Citrus, haven't the letters from the South been sorted out yet?" Zhong Roulan was a little dissatisfied with this new maid, she had no sense of tacit understanding, and if she changed it to a crisp pear, she would have scalded a pot of old wine at this time.

After a while, there was a sound of "Dengdenden" going upstairs behind him, it sounded a little flustered, not stable at all, and sure enough, a hairy girl appeared behind Zhong Roulan, and the pure and lovely pear is different from this maid called citrus is born with a charming bone, after watching it for a long time, women can also be hooked, and with the feeling of thin sweat and light clothes now, even if it is the Buddha, it is unbearable to look at it twice, it has nothing to do with lust, just want to see more of the beauty of the world.

"Third Miss, I'm here," the panic in her words did not stabilize from beginning to end, and she saw her messily placing the classified letters in front of Zhong Roulan.

Zhong Roulan had nothing to do with her, so she could only sort it out by herself, looked at it for a while and said, "Interesting, the two brothers' practices are a bit flavorful." ”

"The taste? What does it taste like? There's no taste! The slave didn't eat snacks while tidying up. "Citrus brain circuits have always been so strange.

"Citrus, it's okay to eat snacks, it's just that your young lady wants to eat and drink wine now, what do you think?" Zhong Roulan said with a suppressed temperament.

"Oh oh, I'm going to prepare, I should drink some old wine on this kind of day." Citrus reacted a rare time, and hurried downstairs without being polite.

Zhong Roulan picked up the letter and read it, the originally joyful look gradually became solemn, on July 18, the right army of the country took Luling lightly, and Xiao Yu, the king of Zhanchuan County, took Wang Zongqing as the long history of Qilin, and Duanmuyang stayed behind for Luling; On July 20, heavy rain, the left army of Chenguo flooded Linwu, captured Gu Qufeng's deputy general Chaoqun and 2,000 soldiers, Gu Qufeng was defeated and fled to Lincheng, and on July 23, the right army Sima Luling Hou Zhuo Bailing raided and took Lingling,

Gongmengyan of Shaochuan County asked the Middle School to immediately send people to receive Lingling and Linwu.

The two have completely different approaches, Xiao Yu is going all the way to collect all the way, and he has installed his own people in the local area in the name of military intelligence, and Meng Yan looks more frank, but there is no saying about the placement of captured soldiers, it seems that Meng Yan's eyes are still on the military, and he is not too interested in local affairs for the time being, on the surface, it seems that Xiao Yu is cultivating his own forces, in fact, if you have a deep understanding, you will know that Meng Yan's approach is the most terrifying, and it seems that he does not fight or grab, but in fact, he buys people's hearts.

Zhong Roulan thought in her heart, at present, Xiao Huli is still dependent on the two of them, and she will not take action against the two for the time being, but it is difficult to say what will happen after the Northern Expedition, it seems that she has to do something.

Zhong Rouning was sitting in the Shaonanxing Palace at the moment, with a serious expression and a little angry, while Xiao Huli looked embarrassed, and only listened to Xiao Huli's persuasion: "Yu'er is young and vigorous, whether it is Duanmuyang or Wang Zongqing, both are officials of the Chen Kingdom, if Ning'er thinks it is inappropriate, after the Northern Expedition, the Middle Academy will choose the right official to take up the post." Xiao Huli didn't want to believe that Xiao Yu would have different intentions.

"Why didn't the captured Linwu and Lingling's Gu clan army make arrangements?" Zhong Rou asked.

Xiao Huli also has a temper, he is the lord of the Chen country, how to decide to have his own plans, Zhong Rou Ning is not the behavior of a wife, but Zhong Rou Ning has helped herself a lot, and she is also in charge of the General Administration and forgets to sleep and eat, and said with a suppressed anger: "The obstacles encountered by Meng Yan's left army are relatively large, and I have ordered all the captured soldiers to be handed over to Bai Zejun." ”

"You are sitting back and watching Meng Yan become bigger, he is not from the Xiao clan!" Zhong Rouning's words were full of distrust.

"Then according to your meaning, only the Zhong clan can be trusted?!" Xiao Huli was angry, and very angry.

"Hehehe, it turns out that the lord of the country actually treats me like this," Zhong Rouning stood up and walked in front of Xiao Huli, made a big salute, and then said: "Zhong Rouning intervened in the government affairs, asked the lord of the country to take back the power of the General Administration, and let a person of insight take over, and the concubine returned to Chencheng to reflect." After saying that, he got up and left, without any nostalgia.

Xiao Huli did not block and comfort him as in the past, but directly arranged for someone to send Zhong Rouning back to Chencheng, but he did not take back the power of the General Administration, as far as the General Administration Department was concerned, Zhong Rouning was not wrong, Xiao Huli was angry that Zhong Rouning's hand was too long and needed to be beaten. He Xiao Huli has been immersed in officialdom for many years, and he has supported the second prince of Nanyue to the throne with his own strength, he is more sensitive to the smell of danger than anyone else, his behavior of conniving at Xiao Yu is still under control, Xiao Yu is just the pride after the first taste of power at the moment, and Meng Yan's behavior is no problem, at least the current Meng Yan will not have too much thought, and more importantly, no one is more suitable for the Northern Expedition than the two of them, but it is also necessary to knock it, and shouted after thinking about it: "Come on, Go and invite Mr. Cangshu and Pinghai Gong to come to the banquet. ”

Xiao Yu stood in the center of the hall in the Luling Assassin Mansion, and on both sides sat the core figures of the Qilin Army, Zhang Jin, the Marquis of the county and Ying Zongyue, the marquis of the same county, and the new Luling stayed behind to guard Duanmuyang, while Xiao Cong was guarding the hall with his henchmen.

"What does the Daihou think of what Pinghai Gongxin mentioned?" Xiao Yu asked a little casually.

"King Jun, Pinghai Gong is your father-in-law, to a certain extent, he is kind to you, the things mentioned in Pinghai's letter must be the meaning of the lord, it seems that we need to remedy it." Zhang Jin judged cautiously.

And the same county marquis Ying Zongyue did have a different opinion, only to listen to him take over and say: "Pinghai Gong is only a guess and there is no empirical evidence, the contradiction between the county king and the queen of the country is natural and irreconcilable, and his subordinates think that there is nothing wrong with the king of the county doing this, and the lord of the country is also happy to see that the contradiction between you and the queen of the country is getting deeper and deeper, so that the lord of the country can be more assured." ”

"What the two of you said makes sense, I did have the intention of tempting Duanmu's matter, and I also expected Zhong Rouning to oppose it, but my uncle didn't even have the will to reprimand him, which is indeed a bit unexpected." Xiao Yu put his hands behind his waist, and the fingers of his hands were staggered back and forth.

"The lord of the country still trusts the king of the county, and his subordinates have heard that the queen of the country seems to be difficult to have children, and the lord of the country has no intention of enriching the harem for the time being, so the status of the king of the county is also inevitable, but the Zhong family is in charge of Dongyang City alone, and when we take down the first line of Fuzhou, we will really have to face the pressure of Dongyang City." Zhang Jin analyzed.

"The Zhong clan is actually waiting, and when we basically end the conquest of Jiangyou and carve up the Jiangyou forces, it is said that the three ladies of the Zhong clan have already stationed troops in Yujun." Duanmuyang interjected.

"Duanmu is right, Dongyang City is divided into three factions, Zhong Jue, the head of the Zhong family, has an agreement with the lord of the country, Zhong Fan, the lord of Dongyang City, is obviously more inclined to the prince of Shaochuan County, after all, they are close brothers, so Zhong Sanniang's attitude is particularly important, if you can win Zhong Sanniang's support, whether it is Fan Lihu or Zhuo's family, they will change their current attitude." Ying Zongyue glanced at Xiao Yu with his eyes as he spoke, the entire Chen Kingdom knew the relationship between Xiao Yu, Meng Yan and Zhong Roulan, and he was reminding Xiao Yu not to be emotionally bound by this.

"What Tonghou said is reasonable, Zhong Sanniang's attitude will also affect Zhong Jue, it is a fact that the queen of the country has no children, and the identity of the county king is about to come out." Duanmuyang added.

Xiao Yu did not respond directly to the two, but asked Zhang Jin: "Daihou thinks the same way?" ”

"What Tonghou and Duanmu said makes sense, but the subordinates think that no matter what these attitudes are, taking Fuzhou, Yuanzhou, and Yiyang as soon as possible is our most important task at the moment, and only by taking these three states can our Qilin Army have the capital to sit down and talk with them, and in the same way, only by quickly taking these three states can we gain a firm foothold in the court." Zhang Jin's words were loud.

After listening to this, Xiao Yu turned around and sat in the main hall and kept tapping his index finger on the tabletop, the lobby instantly became quiet, and suddenly the sound of tapping on the table stopped, and everyone exhaled lightly, knowing that Xiao Yu had already made a decision, "Duanmu, you write a letter for me about the appointment and dismissal of officials without permission, you write it carefully, don't have a time to sign after you finish writing, and you will hand it over after we set off to conquer the three states." ”

"Can the prince attach my resignation or ask the lord to reappoint the officials?" Duanmu Yang asked cautiously.

"No need, since my uncle didn't make it clear that he wouldn't let you stay in Luling, it was a tacit consent, and the excerpt was a plea, not to mention anything else." Xiao Yu was resolute, and then said to Ying Zongyue: "Tonghou, you are responsible for the whole army and formulating the strategy for the expedition, and I will take the three states at once within two months!" ”

Ying Zongyue was shocked, although the Zhuo clan said that the main force of the good war was lost after the first battle of Xianghu, but the soldiers in the land of Sanzhou were still sufficient, and it was difficult to complete the battle of Zhuo's soldiers and horses for two months even if they killed the Zhuo soldiers and horses as pigs for two months, Ying Zongyue tried to ask: "King of the county, are you too anxious?" ”

Xiao Yu responded with a wry smile, "Tonghou, we can't afford to wait!" Bai Zejun has taken Lingling and Linwu, Lin Cheng is currently a lonely city and a dead place, Meng Yan doesn't care about Lin Cheng now, he has already gathered most of his troops on the front line of Lingling to prepare to take Shao Ling in one fell swoop, will your Cao Li be Meng Yan's opponent? ”

"The king of the county has thought it through, Shaoling is equivalent to opening the door to Hezhou, Hezhou is located at the junction of the Tushan clan and Shaoling, as long as the Tushan clan closes the pass, the situation of Hezhou will be no different from Lin Cheng." Zhang Jin added.

Ying Zongyue was shocked into a cold sweat after figuring out the joints, and hurriedly said: "Subordinate Meng Lang, I'll go down and arrange it immediately." ”

After Ying Zongyue and Duanmuyang were ordered to leave, Zhang Jin whispered: "Can the prince of the county ask the princess to come forward and talk to the duchess of Shaochuan County, if the prince wants to become a big thing, the support of the prince of Shaochuan County is crucial." ”

Xiao Yu smiled, looked at Zhang Jin and said: "The Daihou has a talent and a long-term vision, but the princess is now on the boat to Yujun, what our Qilin Army needs most at present is the attitude of Dongyang City, Zhong Jue's mind is not ordinary, when he said that he would give up the position of Dongyang City Lord, his scheming can be seen, as for Meng Yan, Bai Ze has become powerful." ”

Zhang Jin's body trembled, the friendship of his youth, the identity of a brother, in the face of power, Xiao Yu said that he had a talent, Zhang Jin thought that he couldn't do it without being moved, and after a quick storm in his head, he bowed and said: "The king of the county, those who become big things are not informal, and the county prince of Shaochuan must have our talents!" ”

Xiao Yu helped him up, and said with a smile on his lips: "The acting marquis's intentions, this king already understands, but Meng Yan is my brother, and there are many famous and good generals under his command, and if you do things carelessly, it will hurt the brotherhood, don't say this kind of thing in the future." ”

After Zhang Jin left, Xiao Yu stood alone at the door, looking at the dense fog in the distant mountains, rubbing his fingers, and muttering to himself: "When will this fog dissipate?" When will this man's heart be able to see through? You don't really have anything else in mind, do you? ”
