Chapter 92: The Battle of Dongchuan (4)
On the seventh day of the first month of the second year of the north of the Chen Dynasty, Shi Zhu commanded Gu Xifeng to launch a strong attack on Gu Yanfeng's department in Wanzhou, and soon after the strong attack, Yang Bo formed a flanking attack on Wanzhou, Gu Yanfeng resisted for three days, and withdrew from Wanzhou on the tenth night of the first month, retreated to Qingjiang County, Yiling, and Yiling Thorn Shi Tushan Yiyuan personally greeted him.
The matter of Wanzhou was resolved within three days, Gu Xifeng was unanimously praised by Cao Li and Yuan Changli who was far away in Luochen City, Yuan Changli did not hesitate to give Gu Xifeng as the Marquis of Wancheng County, which made Yang Bo, who failed to grasp the opportunity, annoyed, and everyone's focus was suddenly attracted to Dongchuan again, as for the bloody battle of Qiqi was just a trivial matter, no one paid too much attention to it, of course, no one paid attention to the fact that Gu Yanfeng did not suffer many casualties when retaking Wanzhou.
Gu Qingfeng pretended to be an ordinary Central Plains woman and took Meng Wanshu to wander around the city, Meng Yan and Meng Huan followed behind and said this, the little girl was very excited, Gu Qingfeng was panting and chasing behind, the little girl's physical strength was too good.
"Seventh brother, when I handed over to Lu Ping the day before yesterday, I was very unhappy with him!" Meng Huan shrunk his neck and said.
"He is not suitable to be in charge of the army here, he only pursues military exploits, and does not care about the lives of soldiers, we don't need such unbenevolent generals in Xifu." Meng Yan said lightly, but his eyes never left Gu Qingfeng and Meng Wanshu in front of him.
"General Jin is going to return to Yeling today, you won't give me any more instructions?" Meng Huan asked tentatively, Lu Ping's resentment, Jin Qian's worries he saw in his eyes, but he didn't know what was going on, and his curiosity drove him to ask.
"You're going to go on the expedition the day after tomorrow, what do you care about being so nosy!" Meng Yan frowned and said, seeing Meng Huan's disappointed expression, he still couldn't bear it, and said: "Jin Qian did what he shouldn't have done, I have already talked to him, how about it, do you have the confidence to lead an independent leader for the first time?" ”
Meng Huan said confidently: "Seventh brother, don't worry, I won't let you down!" ”
"What I'm most worried about is your attitude, Zhu Mu's clan is not bad compared to my Xifu soldiers, they survive in the mountains and dense forests all year round, and the terrain is more familiar than yours, you must be careful and careful!" Meng Yan said dissatisfiedly.
Meng Huan saw Meng Yan's dissatisfied look, and immediately became nervous, and said: "Seventh brother, I am not a light enemy, the battle plan formulated by the Ming Jian Division after I and General Gu Sheng had a tabula rasa deliberation, Zhu Ti seems to have an advantage in troops, but Zhu Ti's guard general Jing Yi is a descendant of the Central Plains, and he is not trusted by Zhu Mu's family at all, so this way is mainly to attack the heart, and I have asked Miss Qingfeng for help." ”
Meng Yan has a general understanding of their plans, Meng Huan can take the initiative to do things, and it is a good thing to take the initiative to communicate and cooperate, "What are you going to do over there?" ”
"Nayong is the key to this battle, I talked to Jin Hou, as long as he can make Banzhou dare not peep south, my worries will be gone, General Gu Sheng is ready to return to Yeling City with Jin Hou, I will send troops from Qiqi, through Puding, weaving gold; He sent troops from Yeling, crossed through the Acropolis and Nadong, and then converged under the city of Nayong. ”
"When dividing the troops, the soldiers are taboo, aren't you afraid that Nayong will take the initiative to cut off your contact?" Meng Yan had the mind to teach.
"Seventh brother, I dare to do this because I have studied the report of the Ming Jian Division, Zhu Mu's has always been a defensive posture in Nayong, and Nayong's guard general Wu Tuliang is a good defensive general, but there are obvious shortcomings in the offensive aspect, even if Zhu Mu's reaction is that we have already arrived in the city, it will be too late to change the generals, this way is mainly a quick victory." Meng Huan laid out the plan and the plan.
Meng Yan nodded, expressing his approval of their plan, and then added a reminder: "I will keep an eye on Zhu Ti's side, Jing Yi should not hurt him as much as possible, most of the Central Plains people of the Zhu Mu clan are surviving under his protection, and he has made some efforts for the Central Plains." ”
Meng Huan smiled embarrassedly, it seemed that Gu Qingfeng had already told him that he had indeed made a second-hand plan for Jing Yi, that is, to assassinate him when persuasion failed.
"Eleven Lang, you have to remember that our conquest is not to satisfy the selfish desires in our hearts, but to let the people live a good life, free from the persecution of the cool officials of the family and the enslaved Central Plains people, and always remember that ending the war with war is the goal." Meng Yan is instilling the correct concept in Meng Huan.
Meng Huan fell into deep thought, Meng Yan no longer cared about him, these things are not something that can be understood for a while, let him digest it slowly, forcibly swaying his thoughts will make him resist, Meng Yan sped up his pace and stepped forward to chase after Gu Qingfeng.
"Your Highness has made sense?" Gu Qingfeng turned around and looked at Meng Huan, who was thinking while walking, and said.
"I don't know, I've already taught everything that should be taught, to what extent it depends on himself, you tell the people of the Mingjian Division to Jingyi, I want to live."
"It's been arranged a long time ago, I know you cherish your talents." Gu Qingfeng's attitude towards Meng Yan became more and more comfortable, especially after getting the news that Gu Xifeng had secretly returned.
"After Zhu Ti and Nayong take it, you can take Shu'er back to Changsha." Seeing that Gu Qingfeng wanted to refuse, he raised his hand to stop it, and then said: "Don't be busy refusing, you have something to do when you go back to Changsha, first, the Military Intelligence Department of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will temporarily move to Dongchuan, and the Government Affairs Department will move to Hezhou to prepare, and all the road managers and generals will be arranged; Second, Tu Shan Yiyuan's attitude is very clear, but for the sake of insurance, Su Qing and Quartz will deal with the junction between Yiling and Xizhou, and you have to sit in Jiangxia to supervise, don't let this matter have an accident; And you always want to meet your brother, you really don't plan to reply to the letter from Xifeng and Yanfeng that Gu Sheng brought this time? ”
Gu Yanfeng was fine, but Gu Xifeng was a little embarrassed, Gu Qingfeng hadn't figured out how to face his brother, and his heart was very confused.
At this time, suddenly a warm big hand took his cold hand, Gu Qingfeng subconsciously wanted to break free, but Meng Yan's strength was what she could break free, she looked at Meng Yan fixedly, Meng Yan's eyes were full of tenderness, Gu Qingfeng suddenly bumped into the deer, his face was even hotter, and he stammered: "Your Highness, you, I, oops!" So many people are watching. ”
"Qingfeng, I don't want to avoid anything, we are facing it after all." Meng Yan said softly.
"But, I..." Gu Qingfeng gasped and spoke incoherently.
"I won't hide it from you, Haoyue's position in my heart can't be changed, but I see your feelings for me, I'm not a stone, understand?" Meng Yan said without concealment.
When it came to Cangshu Haoyue, Gu Qingfeng sighed, although he was a little uncomfortable, but didn't he just like this kind of Meng Yan, dare to speak out, not evade or escape, after thinking about it, he said firmly: "Madame will always be Madame, I have never thought of replacing Madame, I am me, I am Gu Qingfeng." ”
This is the first time that the two of them have faced their feelings, there are not too many gentle whispers, but they can feel the taste of Jin Ge Iron Horse, if Cangshu Haoyue is Meng Yan's white moonlight, hanging high in his heart, and Gu Qingfeng is a clear spring in Meng Yan's heart, sometimes trickling, sometimes magnificent, always accompanying Meng Yan.
"Don't you want to meet your brother yet?" Meng Yan asked softly.
"After the results on Zhuti's side, I will set off for Changsha, and the relocation of a large number of people must be carefully planned."
Meng Yan smiled, Gu Qingfeng rarely responded positively, whether it was for feelings or official business.
"By the way, Your Highness, there is news from Jiyang City, Mr. Zhao is imprisoned on death row by Quan Hanliang, and it is very difficult for our people to succeed." Gu Qingfeng recovered his emotions quickly, and immediately changed to the role of Ming Jiansi.
Meng Yan was stunned, his face became very distressed, and said: "Qingfeng, I won't hide it from you, this Mr. Zhao is my father, and it is Meng Zhao who was hunted down and killed by the Gu family back then. ”
"Uh," this time it was Gu Qingfeng's turn to be distressed, she wanted to break her head, but she didn't expect this Meng Zhao to be alive and appear in Cui's place.
"It's okay, you don't have to be nervous, I've never seen him, Haoyue has always been in charge of the correspondence with him before, and now I can only leave it to you, try your best to save him."
"Uncle was saved by the eldest grandson?" Gu Qingfeng asked.
Meng Yan was surprised, in such a short period of time, with a small amount of information, he could immediately judge the ins and outs of the matter, "Yes, how did you know?" ”
"It's not difficult, I heard my father say that the old family master did not find the uncle's body after killing his uncle and his party, and at that time, there was the ability and courage to dare to accept the uncle except for your mother patriarch Sun Clan, no one dared to do so, before your cousin appeared in Jiuqu, and then began to have contact with Dongfu, and now your cousin has become the Marquis of Yanzhou in the Chen Dynasty, it is obvious that the eldest grandson betrayed his uncle for the sake of interests, this is not difficult to understand, the big family always puts interests first." Gu Qingfeng said lightly, she was born in a big family, and she was the only daughter of the head of the family, she had seen too many of these things.
"You mean his identity is already an open secret?" Meng Yan suddenly remembered something and was a little nervous.
"Yes, my uncle's life will not be in danger for the time being, unless Quan Hanliang wants to completely turn his face with us, but I have to plan again to rescue him."
"Leave Zhu Ti's affairs to me, you will return to Changsha tomorrow, and immediately vacate Changsha and hand it over to Nanfu, and you can't delay for a moment!" Meng Yan's nervousness became more and more serious.
Gu Qingfeng looked at Meng Yan in puzzlement, why did he suddenly become like this.
"Lu Chongzong is my second brother! Dear second brother! ”
Gu Qingfeng was stupid, what kind of complicated relationship is this, "Duke Yu is your second brother?" ”
"Yes, he was adopted by the first emperor when he was young, and I was just born at that time, and Yang Boyu took me in with compassion." Meng Yan said helplessly, he actually didn't want to believe his tortuous life experience sometimes.
Gu Qingfeng has now re-examined Meng Yan's relationship, first of all, Meng Yan is not an orphan, his father and brother are alive, and secondly, the reason for their separation is the Gu family, it is her own family, and thirdly, she completely understands why it was so smooth to leave Chencheng with the help of Lu Chongzong's mansion that day, and the emotional family is a brother.
"Your Highness, you should pass the book to Duke Yu Kuaima first, and then go to our sphere of influence first." Gu Qingfeng prompted.
"I know, Ye Shuai and Quartz are guarding against Xiao Yu in Jiangxia, Zhuo Shuai is coordinating the grain and grass of various military horses in Baoqing, Qing Shuai and Gu Yanfeng are on the Dongchuan front, Jin Qian is in Yeling, the only mobile force we can mobilize is Yu Geng, I will give you a handwritten letter, let Yu Geng cooperate with you to do a good job of defense from Chencheng and Dongfu, no matter which link goes wrong, it will be a disaster for us!" Meng Yan suddenly felt that danger lurked.
Gu Qingfeng took a deep breath and knew the importance of this matter, "I'll leave tonight, go to Lin Cheng first, and let Kuaima go to Hengyang with your handwritten letter, time is pressing, as long as someone lights a fire, it will be out of control." ”
"I can't come forward, you can make decisions on the matter of the family on the spot, ensure Lu Chongzong's safety, and stabilize the family."
"Don't worry, your home is mine, isn't it?" Gu Qingfeng's rare response gave him a playful look.
