Chapter 63: Winning the Central Plains, the Breeze is Coming
"Why are you here?" Gu Xifeng asked with a frown.
From a distance, Gu Xifeng's look is somewhat similar to Gu Yingfeng, but up close, I feel that Gu Xifeng does not have Gu Yingfeng's sinister temperament, but has a bit of a decent feeling.
"Uncle Lu accompanied the head of the family to Yuezhou to inspect military affairs, so let me come here."
"Well, you go back first, it's not appropriate for you to stay in the army." Gu Xifeng's words were very indifferent.
Gu Xifeng was not surprised by his father's order, but he said that his father went to Yuezhou, there must be something wrong here, since he cooperated with the imperial court, why did he go to Yuezhou to inspect the defense, there must be something strange in it.
"Brother, will something happen to my father?" I saw a girl in armor walking slowly out from behind the screen, but seeing her eyebrows bent, her small nose slightly upturned, her face like white jade, her face was like a morning flower, but it was accompanied by some continuous coughing sounds, and the clear-eyed person knew that this was a sick beauty at a glance.
"Qingfeng, why did you come out?" Gu Xifeng quickly greeted her and helped her sit down.
"Brother, tell me if something happened to my father?" Gu Qingfeng asked eagerly, ignoring Gu Xifeng's concern at all.
Gu Xifeng hesitated for a moment and nodded, "There is no problem with my father's order, it's just that Uncle Lu has always sent me messages, and this person didn't ask about your situation but just reported the order, I guess my father's side must not be right." ”
"Ancestral Hall? It must be those clan elders! Gu Qingfeng was angry, his originally pale face immediately turned red, followed by a violent cough, but after a while, he actually coughed up a lot of blood.
"Qingfeng, don't be excited," Gu Xifeng said distressedly while helping her to calm down: "Father is still safe for the time being, after all, they are all members of the Gu clan, they won't be too much to their father, as long as we take back Yuanling's father's crisis, it will be resolved, after all, we still have strength in our hands." ”
Gu Qingfeng slowed down for a long time before he slowly calmed down and said slowly: "Brother, it's not like this, the style of words and the style of the song brother belong to the Nanchen Hou clan and began to act on my father, some time ago, the surrender of the Jiangyou Zhuo clan brought a lot of pressure to my father walking in the clan, and my father brought me to you just to protect me." ”
Gu Xifeng's attitude towards the three cousins is different, he respects Gu Qufeng, hates Gu Yingfeng, has the best relationship with Gu Yanfeng, Gu Yanfeng's betrayal hit him hard, if Gu Qufeng is the leader of the Gu clan, then Gu Yanfeng's ability lies in the dual cultivation of civil and military, Gu Yanfeng's comprehension of "star-studded" can be ranked second in the clan, as for the first is the seemingly weak sister in front of her, she is a rare genius in the Gu clan in a hundred years, and she was born in poor health, But it is such a woman who has already entered the realm of Xiao Zhoutian, but every time she performs it, she damages her heart and lungs once, and she has to recuperate for a long time, and she can control the 50,000 Anhua elites most of them rely on this sister to support her behind, Qingfeng's affairs are unknown to no one except himself and his father, and he always feels a little powerless in the face of Meng Yan's army.
"Don't say Qingfeng's words in the future, Gu Yanfeng and Gu Qufeng have turned their backs on the family and have been removed from the clan, we have nothing to do with them, do you understand?" It's a reprimand, but it's more of a concern.
"Brother, do you really think Brother Yanfeng is wrong?" Gu Qingfeng asked with flashing eyes.
"Is it too late to talk about right or wrong at this time, I befriended him but he never mentioned Meng Zhao's matter to me, he only told me the truth the day before he decided to turn his back on the family, do you think he treats me as a brother?" Gu Xifeng's words were full of sadness.
"Brother, the clan has always been very harsh and indifferent to its children, I believe that Brother Yingfeng may be hiding somewhere now, the smell of blood that my father sat on the position of the head of the family has not dissipated, and the people in the clan are planning to attack my father again." Gu Qingfeng said that the disdainful expression on the face of the clansmen was fully revealed.
"Sister, do you think we can't send troops to Yuanling?" Gu Xifeng smelled something strange.
Gu Qingfeng shook his head, frowned and said: "Sending troops to Yuanling is our last chance, but these days I always feel that something is wrong, and I can't say it, I have studied Mengyan combat, he has always liked to keep one hand, and the battle of Goshawk Ridge that defeated Brother Yanfeng was like this, no one could have thought that he actually sent a pair of people to cross Hengshan and go directly to the back of Goshawk Ridge, and this time I can't see where his back hand is." ”
"Maybe Meng Yan is overconfident, right?" After listening to his sister's analysis, Gu Xifeng was also weak-hearted.
"I hope so, I'm afraid I can't follow our wishes, take me with me when my brother goes on the expedition, I feel that my health is not so bad recently, and I can at least save your life with me." Gu Qingfeng said weakly.
Gu Xifeng didn't want his sister to go to the battlefield again, but Qingfeng's words made sense, if the battlefield failed, I am afraid that only this sister would be able to save some of the situation, gritted his teeth and said: "I can take you, but you are not allowed to make a move at a very dangerous moment, can you promise me?" ”
"Brother, don't worry, I won't mess around," suddenly Gu Qingfeng thought of something, and said, "Brother, do you think Xiao Yu will make a move?" ”
Gu Xifeng was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said: "Xiao Yu won't, it is Gu Qufeng who is stationed in Lizhou, I believe that Gu Qufeng will not fall into the well even if he turns his back on the family, this is not good for him, and another said that Xiao Yu is in trouble with the Qingluan Army because of the Zhuo family's affairs, and he has no time to help Meng Yan." ”
Gu Qingfeng thought for a while, breathed a faint sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It's that I'm thinking too much, even if there is no Qingluan Army, Xiao Yu will not help Meng Yan, and there is no need for Prince Nanchen to increase his opponent's strength." ”
The two siblings talked about their father as they walked to the back.
"Ahh It must be the lady who is scolding me. Meng Yan said with a smile.
Meng Yan and his entourage have secretly arrived in Xianning County, where the Qizhou Thorn Mansion is located, Tu Shan Yinyuan is very thoughtful, of course, the secrecy of Meng Yan's arrival is very good, Meng Yan brought three thousand Bai Ze Zuo Wei over and stayed in Xianning without a trace under the arrangement of Tu Shan Yinyuan, this set of merchant methods is quite a model of the military array, at this time Meng Yan is taking quartz on Xianning Street.
"Guogong, don't talk about Madame, I'm afraid that Commander Su is also scolding you, you dumped her to Mr. San, and you didn't see that her face was about to fall to the ground." Quartz said helplessly, he was not unhappy because Meng Yan came to Xianning regardless of safety, but he was unhappy that whether it was his wife or Su Qing's threat to him.
"It's inconvenient for her to come with a lot of things to do," Meng Yan said with a wicked smile, "By the way, have you been able to contact the people in Luantai?" ”
Speaking of business, Quartz put away his joking look and said, "The people in Luantai said that the county lord wants to make an appointment with you at an exact time. ”
Meng Yan didn't answer immediately, but chose a small stall to sit down, ordered a pot of wine and two local snacks, ate two sips and drank a glass of wine, and said: "Quartz, you tell the people in Luantai that Sanniang may have to prepare for a fierce battle, Fan Lihu's Jinzhou is stuck there, if it can't launch an offensive at the same time as the Zhendong Army, I'm afraid it will be difficult to advance westward, and after advancing west, it must quickly occupy Huizhou." ”
"Grandpa, Huizhou is now scattered, each county has its own policy, some are attached to Fan Lihu, some are attached to the king of Dongyang County, and some are backed by this Luzhou Duan Wan, how easy is it to quickly take down such a complicated situation?" Quartz asked.
"Huizhou seems complicated, but it's actually simple, it's a paradise-like place, it's really unnecessary for the war to burn there, but Huizhou is indeed a real place where soldiers must fight, Fan Lihu and Duan Wan's contact has to go through Huizhou, Sanniang's connection with Jiujiang can't get around Huizhou, I let her take Huizhou is to find a good place for her Qingluan army to garrison, and it's also suitable for Sanniang, isn't it?" Meng Yan said the usefulness of Huizhou one by one.
"In this way, Huizhou is indeed a good place, and it is also in line with the temperament of the county lord, that place in Huizhou is convenient for Zhengbei Mansion and Zhengxi Mansion to contact, Xizhou was deliberately given to Sanniang, right?" Quartz suddenly realized.
"Okay, it's not hopelessly stupid, we don't need Xizhou for the time being, Qizhou is enough, Yuezhou, Jiujiang, and Xizhou are all located on the river, and no one can do it first by supervising each other, we want Qizhou to make a barrier for Yuezhou." Meng Yan said while eating, as if he was very interested in Xianning's snacks, and it seemed that he was going to order a second bowl.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew, making people sweep away the hot feeling, I didn't expect that there would be such a comfortable breeze in this season, and suddenly Meng Yan said: "What is the situation in Anhua County, can you report it?" ”
"Yes, Anhua County is already preparing to send troops to Yuanling, and the soldiers and horses from Hezhou have also come out, it seems that Zhuo Shuai has fished people out." Quartz said admiringly.
"I asked about the matter of Anhua County, and I never felt that with the blessing of Chen Zhiqing and Su Qing, Zhuo Shuai couldn't catch them." Meng Yan looked at Quartz with disdain.
"Oh, oh, the leader of Anhua County is Gu Xifeng, the only son of Gu Cheng, and Su Commander said that this person can still fight, and his ability to lead troops is second only to Gu Qufeng in the Gu clan." Quartz scratched his head and said embarrassedly, he has never been accustomed to the affairs of spies, and is more concerned about the situation on the battlefield.
"Go to a letter and ask Zhuo Shuai to be careful, I always feel that this Gu Xifeng is not so simple, and I am afraid that the defense of Yuanling is not so easy." Meng Yan thought of Gu Xifeng and remembered that Gu Yanfeng had introduced this person to him, in terms of brain, he was a general, but what was more special was that he could always stimulate his potential in a desperate situation and turn defeat into victory, this is not like a person's character, unless Gu Xifeng is such a special person.
"Oops! Why are you here, my shopkeeper! A philistine's voice accompanied by a capable figure swayed to Meng Yan's side.
"Second son, why are you here?!" Meng Yan was very surprised how Tu Shan Yinyuan appeared here.
"The goods are ready, just waiting for your shopkeeper to accept, you might as well come here in style." Tu Shan Yinyuan smiled and blamed.
Meng Yan must be comfortable, all the people and horses are ready, and it is time for him to set off, sooner rather than later, it will not be good if Gu Yan sees the flaws, "Guard Shi, you go and inform the guards that our goods are all ready, so that they can prepare to unload." ”
This An guard is An Kui's younger brother An Cang, when Zhuo Bailing proposed to pardon An Cang, Meng Yan kept a heart, seeing that An Cang this guy is fat and tall, with a ferocious face, and looks more fierce than An Kui, so he took a test and found that this guy's foreign kung fu has been practiced to the realm of Jizo, and there is also an inner show, Meng Yan unceremoniously intercepted it, and stayed by his side as a personal guard, although Quartz is good to be a guard, but it is more suitable to be a commander, and the appearance of An Cang just liberated Quartz.
The three of them hurriedly walked back to the Qizhou Thorn History Mansion with a smile, only to hear Tu Shan Yinyuan whisper: "I'm afraid I can't hide the whereabouts of the Guogong, my eldest brother and sister-in-law are coming to Qizhou." ”
"Tu Shan Jinyuan and Zhong Rouxuan are coming?" This was an accident, and it was certain that his whereabouts would be exposed, but Meng Yan didn't plan to see them, so he said lightly: "Brother Yinyuan, take advantage of this breeze to set off for Puqi tonight." ”
