Chapter Forty-Four: The First Crisis of Xiao Yu in Troubled Times

"'The temple is a gatekeeper, and the rivers and lakes are worried about Li Yuan.'" The second brother's talent has always been good, but he talks and does things too freely, this is when he meets Xiao Huli, if he changes someone casually, his life will come to an end. Zhong Roulan was dressed in brocade and held a lazy white cat in her arms, looking at the snow outside the window with a confused look.

"What your eldest brother means is that we can prepare after the year." Xiahou Ying couldn't stand the cold wind and snow at all, and shrank beside the brazier.

"Sister Ying, I can't do the affairs of Dongyang City yet, there is no problem with Yujun and Yueqing of my guarantee, it's just Sister Ying, are you sure that the eldest brother wants to hide this from the second brother?" Zhong Roulan said expressionlessly.

"I once asked your eldest brother about this, but your eldest brother said that he couldn't tell Meng Yan, now I understand what your eldest brother meant, Meng Yan's Baoqing army has gone too far, and not telling him is leaving him a way back." The meaning of Xiahou Ying's words was quite dissatisfied with Meng Yan.

"Since the eldest brother insists, the younger sister will cooperate," Zhong Roulan's eyes flashed a chill and then returned to normal, and then turned around and said: "Sister Ying, tell the eldest brother that he promised me not to forget, and by the way, tell him that Fan Lihu is not so easy to deal with." ”

Xiahou Ying stood up and rubbed her hands, shivered and then left, she didn't want to stay in Yujun anymore, it was too cold, it was too cold for both places and people, Zhong Roulan seemed to be a different person, and the words were full of the smell of interest exchange, she thought it would be smooth when she came to Yujun this time, but she only got the guarantee of Yujun and Yueqing County, and Dongyang City still maintained a neutral attitude.

"Citrus, put away this tea set, people, it's really interesting, once there is an exchange of interests, the original intimate relationship has become vulgar." Zhong Roulan sighed with emotion, "Citrus, you are lighter, this tea set is the only product of Li Qingshi sent by Brother Fan, it is very expensive!" ”

The rude operation of the citrus made Zhong Roulan close her eyes angrily and pant heavily, she had suppressed the idea of wanting to beat the citrus countless times, it was not as good as the pear, the second brother was attentive to his own people, and the Ming Jian Division was making the pear, this was to use the pear as a sword, which was not bad.

"Miss, I've packed up, do you want something to eat?" Citrus whispered.

"I want to eat Fan Lihu's meat, you can get it for me!" Zhong Roulan said angrily, she found that the so-called cleaning up of citrus was just a random stuff of tea utensils into the cage.

"What is Fan Lihu? Is it the tiger of our Yu County? "Citrus is always walking like death on the road to answering questions.

Zhong Roulan didn't want to speak, pointed to the door and told her to get out, finally calmed down and walked to the table to pick up the pen, put it down a few times, hesitated for a long time or decided to write a letter to Meng Yan, do her best, she didn't want to see the situation of brothers fighting each other and killing each other, but Meng Yan's actions are no longer shocking and can be described, what is Ye Bohuai doing? ! Just let Meng Yan be so nonsense?! The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, so I decided to write a letter scolding Ye Bohuai first.

The plaque of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in Luling City is shining golden, and it looks very dazzling by the irradiation of the winter sun, Xiao Huli has always done things fairly, since there is the Governor of the Western Metropolis, the Governor of the Northern Metropolis can not be less, so Xiao Yu is naturally the first Metropolitan Governor of the Northern Metropolis, but there is no atmosphere in the main hall of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion that is close to the New Year, the hall is a little depressed, Zhang Jin's face is red, Ying Zongyue is angry, obviously the two have just argued.

Xiao Yu said with a gloomy face: "The two soldiers and horses went all the way to Xingzhou and took Lizhou all the way, and both roads were blocked, are the Zhuo clan's soldiers and horses so strong?!" ”

Xiao Cong lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, he was the commander of Xingzhou, he thought it was the credit of sending it to the door, as soon as the clinker came out of the Luling realm, it was constantly attacked by Zhuo's small group of soldiers and horses, and he was miserable, and finally took Iwata County, Zhuo's men and horses came to harass and the remnants of the soldiers in Iwata County should be combined with the outside, Xiao Cong was overwhelmed, and the army was exhausted after a toss, so he had to order the closure of Iwata City, and he returned to Luling to ask for advice in frustration.

Wang Zongqing on the opposite side was not happy, not to mention fighting Lizhou, even Feng'an County in the south of Lizhou could not be taken, and was directly blocked by the Zhuo family on the east bank of the Xiajiang River, and the 30,000 army was actually damaged by two percent, so he had to retreat to Anle County to lick his wounds, and Wang Zongqing himself was also worried about returning to Luling for help.

Xiao Cong is Zhang Jinli's protection, Wang Zongqing is Ying Zongyue's main promotion, Zhang and Wang blame each other, hoping to bear less punishment, Duanmuyang has nothing to do with either side, but looking at the embarrassing atmosphere in the lobby, Xiao Yu's gloomy face had to break the situation, and said stubbornly: "King of the county, Zhuo's family should have a master behind to guide you, Zhuo's since Zhuo Bailing is no one who can resist our army, including when taking Luling, it is easy, and this time suddenly changed the way of playing, The two generals were also caught off guard and somewhat underestimated the enemy. ”

"Underestimating the enemy?! Excuse me? Look at the people Bai Zejun since the flooding of Linwu, the road has been smooth, and the Gu Qufeng who fought has shrunk in Lin Cheng and dare not show up, how can it be so difficult for us to get to us because of the big things that people have done! Xiao Yu couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

For a while, the hall was quiet again, Xiao Yu looked at the few people sitting in the hall, a little disgusted, and a little doubtful that his ability to lead troops was so much worse than Meng Yan, but Meng Yan's paranoid personality was harmful to himself after all, Baoqing made so many tricks in the whole army, according to Xiahou Ming's message, his uncle was furious, if it weren't for Meng Yan's rush to kill, he would have been dismissed a long time ago, but in any case, the obstruction of the Qilin Army is still a problem on his side.

"Duanmu, what are the names of the two generals who transferred from Bai Zejun some time ago? What are they doing? Xiao Yu suddenly thought that some time ago, because he couldn't accept the deputy commanders of the two large battalions of Meng Yan's army, he didn't think about how to settle them, so he might as well take this opportunity to try their level.

"Yu Qingwu and Teng Han, the two are now training recruits who have just been replenished." Duanmuyang hurriedly replied.

"Go down first, and bring them after noon." Xiao Yu waved his hand to let everyone go down, scolded and scolded, quarreled and quarreled, and it didn't work for everyone to sit without a charter.

After Xiao Yu saw everyone leave, he stood up, stretched his waist, and said slowly, "What do you think?" What about the conditions I opened before? ”

"King of the county, your subordinates are all fierce generals on the battlefield, and there is no problem with loyalty, but if you lead an army alone, you will fall behind." A person flashed out from behind the screen, if Ye Bohuai was there, he would definitely be surprised, this person was Gu Yingfeng who was captured.

"If you have any good suggestions or recommendations, speak them up and listen to them." Xiao Yu sat down again, raised his eyebrows and said.

"The idea of the county king just now is good, the two people who came over there can give it a try, Meng Yan's style has always been decentralized, maybe there will be unexpected surprises." Gu Yingfeng didn't see it, and after coming out, he sat directly under Xiao Yu.

"The Qilin Army must have its own handsome talent." Xiao Yu said distressedly.

"King of the county, Zhong Fan, Zhong Jue, and Eldest Sun Ziyang can all fight for it, as long as your army is strong enough and the benefits you give are enough to make them tempted, they will work for you." Gu Yingfeng always had a strange smile on his handsome face.

"This is all an afterthought, how about the conditions you proposed before? Now you can't go back to Gu's house, and if you go back, it will make Gu Qufeng and Gu Yanfeng embarrassed, right? Stay with me, and I'll give you enough power. Xiao Yu said sincerely.

"The king of the county really doesn't care that Meng Yan will turn against you, he and you are brothers in life and death." Gu Yingfeng said tentatively.

"It's true that he is my brother, you also know Baoqing's whole army, what do you think his future is, I do this first, it's a pity for your Gu Yingfeng's talent, and second, if I'm strong, why isn't it a kind of shelter for him?" Xiao Yu said frankly.

"Hahaha! Okay, Chongjun Wang's words, I agreed, the words are real, and my heart is complicated, hahaha! Gu Yingfeng smiled heartily.

"Brother Gu is refreshing! Come in, meet you. Xiao Yu smiled.

At this time, a person came in from outside, covered with a mask and arched his hand at Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu said: "Take it off, it's all your own people, there's no need for this, the two of you will have to work together in the future." ”

I saw that after the person took off the armor, if Meng Yan was about to gasp, this person was actually Meng Yan's senior brother Buddha Chan, who was the leader of the team who chased and killed Xiao Yu in Yingchuan back then, who would have thought that he was now Xiao Yu's henchman.

"Wen Jun, this is Gu Yingfeng, the commander I found for your brocade-clothed unicorn, you have to work together in the future." Xiao Yu introduced.

"You almost killed my junior brother?" The Buddha Chan, who was alias Wen Jun, looked at Gu Yingfeng unkindly.

"Heh, it's me, our Gu clan has a feud with the Mengshi clan, if I don't kill him, he will kill me." Gu Yingfeng didn't care about Wen Jun's hostility.

"I heard that you were captured by the fifth child, and the little junior brother didn't kill you, because you shouldn't die." Wen Jun's hostility intensified.

These words poked Gu Yingfeng's sore spot, Xiao Yu had a headache, the people he recruited were actually some unruly people, and when he caught Wen Jun who was doing things for the Zhuo family in Luling that day, he also tried his best to make him submit to himself, and now there is another Gu Yingfeng, seeing that the tense posture has been put out, Xiao Yu hurriedly said: "Two, I don't care what personal enmity you have, but now you are all working for the Chen Kingdom and the Qilin Army, and I hope you will put aside your prejudices." ”

"I'm fine, as long as he takes care of his foul mouth." Gu Yingfeng said the atmosphere, but this mouth is not forgiving.

"Be careful, don't let me grab the handle, or I'll let you taste all of the Nightguard's methods." Wen Jun saw Xiao Yu come out to persuade peace, and slightly put away his murderous aura.

"Both of them are my Xiao Yu's henchmen, and the affairs of military intelligence, exchanges between various departments, military discipline and state law, and supervision of hundreds of officials are all entrusted to the two of them." Xiao Yu saw that the atmosphere had eased, and hurriedly opened the topic, the matter of the brocade unicorn was already imminent, Wen Jun was born in the dark night guard and has always been handy with intelligence and military discipline, but when it came to the affairs of the exchanges and supervision of various divisions, Gu Yingfeng was born in a family, coupled with his Gu family's position, these things were much simpler for him.

The two of them heard Xiao Yu talking about business, they were both officials, and when they knew that it was not a fighting spirit, they quickly got up and arched their hands and said, "Follow the orders of the county king!" ”

Xiao Yu was quite satisfied with the attitude of the two, and ordered: "I intend to divide the brocade unicorn into three, the one in the bright place is my unicorn guard, the two of you are in charge of the dark place, Wen Jun is the commander of the unicorn Nanya, responsible for investigating and collecting intelligence, interrogating in prison and enforcing military discipline and state law; Facing the wind, you are the commander of the Qilin Beiya, responsible for arresting and assassinating, and supervising the civil and military, but are you going to change your name to the wind? ”

"The king of the county is thoughtful, and he also asks the king of the county to give him a name." Gu Yingfeng figured it out, since he had decided to serve Xiao Yu, some things were better to forget for the time being, and Gu Yingfeng's name was indeed not good to appear in front of the world again.

Xiao Yu pondered for a while, looked at the winter sun outside and said, "Why don't you call Xu Yu?" ”

"After the catastrophe, reincarnated as a human being, when a 'Xu' word Hitachi is empty, burning it with fire, it is the duty of the brocade unicorn, and it deserves a 'Yu', a good name, thank you for the name of the county king." Gu Yingfeng said lightly, although there would be no joy, but at least Xiao Yu was attentive and touched his heart.

Xiao Yu saw that Gu Yingfeng did not object, and said: "Two, the two of you must do your best in the affairs of Xingzhou and Lizhou, we can't delay too long in these two places, otherwise there may be variables on the Dongyang side, and Fuzhou must be taken in early April." ”

"King Jun, everyone was suspicious of Zhuo's use of troops just now, so it's better to check along this line to see if there is really a master to guide you, or if Zhuo still has a backhand." Xu Yu quickly entered the state.

"The news from the General Administration Department did not find that the Zhuo clan had abnormal behavior, but according to the analysis of the news inquired by his subordinates, the reason why the Zhuo clan fought like this was because the Zhuo clan lacked soldiers." Wen Jun shared his information.

As he was talking, a Qilin Wei suddenly broke in, "Report to the king of the county, Iwata is lost, General Gan Lai is killed in battle, and his son Gan Ming led the remnants to retreat to Fengshan County, asking for support!" ”

Before he could react, Duanmuyang hurried over and was a little surprised to see Wen Jun and the others in the hall, but he didn't have time to inquire, so he hurriedly said: "The king of the county is not good, An Le was attacked, and the Zhuo family has the potential to encircle Luling!" ”
