Chapter 128: North-South Confrontation: The Breeze Blows
The desolate Xiaochang City made Meng Yan feel a heart-wrenching pain in his heart, war is cruel, Yu Qingwu is right, Zheng Xi is not wrong, that is wrong is himself, it is his biggest mistake to endure all the time, the situation in the Central Plains is like a wound with pus, the surface treatment has no effect, if you want to cure it radically, you must take fierce medicine, and the pain of cutting the flesh must also make the world return to peace.
"Zheng Xi, Xifu has the legal code of Xifu, I can't easily forgive your sins, what do you think, let's hear it." Meng Yan said with his back to Zheng Xi, who bowed his head to the ground.
"Lord Wang, the last general has no requirements, it's just a pity that I can't watch the prince dominate the Central Plains." Zheng Xi saw it very openly, and his result was a fixed number.
Meng Yan turned to stare at Zheng Xi for a while before saying, "You can't stay in Xifu now, are you willing to go to Changsha?" ”
Zheng Xi raised his head sharply and looked at Meng Yan in a daze.
"You all know the relationship between this king and the Duke of Yu, and my brother has already handed over the talisman of Changsha to me, understand?"
The corners of Zheng Xi's mouth opened, and he hurriedly replied: "The last general is willing!" ”
"Get out, pack up, and go with my pro-army."
Zheng Xi crawled away excitedly, and the quartz on the side was twisting and pinching and unwilling to get close.
"What? Out of sorts? Meng Yan's tone was flat, but the guards around him all subconsciously took a few steps back, not afraid that King Yong would be angry, but afraid that King Yong would be calm.
"I was wrong, and I am willing to be punished!" Quartz quickly knelt down, scolding himself hundreds of times in his heart, but he couldn't hide.
"Look at you like that, you don't have the courage to suffer a loss? I told you a long time ago that Yu Qingwu is not easy to deal with, and if you listen to it, I won't come over to clean up the mess for you! Meng Yan accentuated his tone.
Quartz suddenly sweated non-stop, and his body knelt straight and didn't dare to move.
"Zheng Xi, I'll take it away, the lady over there in Chengdu will deal with the follow-up of this matter, don't be uncomfortable, Deng Ang and Tan Ji are left to you, Deng Ang's family history, you are not as good as him in terms of Yin people, although Tan Ji is young and quick-witted, he can lead the teacher, you still have to face Qingwu in the future, and I have to match the team for you."
"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Quartz wanted to cry, but Meng Yan spoiled him.
"You clean up your mess well, Xiaochang City is already rotten, don't feel distressed, move the people away, settle well, go to Xiangyang You are Qingshuai's deputy, be honest with me, and if there is a conflict with Lu Ping, you will go back to Chengdu for me to guard the door, I will go." After speaking, Meng Yan turned around and left, he didn't want to talk too much to Quartz, and his preference for Quartz had already made the army complain.
Quartz respectfully kowtowed to Meng Yan's back, adding another point of respect for Meng Yan in his heart.
Yu Qingwu is smart, after the trimming of Lishan did not hesitate to march to Shenzhou, different from Meng Yan's softness, Xiao Yu is domineering, after learning that Yu Qingwu broke away from the encirclement, he directly tore up the covenant between Jinling and Luochen, Yingchuan, Lujiang soldiers and horses were all assigned to Qingwu to transfer, into Shenzhou, this also benefited from Meng Yan's order not to pursue, this behavior is to make Yu Qingwu loyal to his life.
As for Xiao Zhan, Meng Yan didn't think too much about embarrassing him, as long as Xiao Yu sent someone to pick him up, he would be sent back immediately, but Xiao Yu didn't seem to have this intention at all, except for appointing Yu Qingwu as the general of Zhenxi to command the four prefectures of Xizhou, Lujiang, Yingchuan, and Luzhou, and then appointing Xiao Han, who had successfully escaped, as the prison army, and nothing else was said, Xiao Zhan's identity was embarrassing, and he was detained in Jingshan Prison all the time, Meng Yan was not used to it, and said lightly: "Don't let him die." This is Xiao Zhan's current situation.
Meng Yan and his party did not stop halfway, refused the reception of local officials, and went straight to Changsha, the news of Meng Yan's appearance in Yunmeng could not be hidden, Xuan Song was entangled by Tang Yuan, if he did not return to Changsha to preside, I am afraid that Dongfu would be able to hit Changsha City immediately.
Just after Yuezhou, bad news came, Xuansong had to retreat to Liling City under the attack of Dongfu Tangyuan and Chu Dian, not Xuansong's ability was insufficient, but half of Dongfu's troops pressed over, and retreat was the best choice.
"Where is Chenghou?" Meng Yan asked while driving with his eyes closed.
"Lord Wang, the Marquis of Cheng disappeared after he arrived in Changsha, and now the deputy envoy Mo Daren is in charge of Changsha." The guard beside him stumbled and said.
First quartz, then An Cang, then Deng Ang, plus Tan Ji, who gave himself not long ago, the personal guards were all promoted one by one, which shows the lack of strength in the middle of the West Mansion, and it is indeed necessary to choose another one, but now the problem of the East Mansion is the most critical.
"You go back to Yuezhou to inform Dong Que and ask him to personally bring 50,000 soldiers and horses to Changsha to join me, three days, he only has three days." Meng Yan was a little helpless, Xingtan, which he had won with great difficulty, now he has to go through it again, which is really ironic.
The rapid march all the way finally arrived in Changsha at the ugly hour, Changsha did not let them in easily because it was Meng Yan's car, Meng Yan did not choose to go to Lu Chongzong's mansion but went directly to the camp, he urgently needed to know the exact situation with Dongfu now, the people in Xifu are very superstitious about themselves, this is trust and pressure, Meng Yan is not a god, such as the failure of quartz, Chen Zhiqing's assassination is unexpected, and he can force Yu Qingwu to retreat by virtue of the lives of the three armies and his familiarity with Yunmeng, plus the good impression of Yunmeng people towards Xifu.
Unconsciously, the sky was already bright, and the worried Meng Yan looked at the battle reports on the table, there was no problem with Xuansong's disposal, but Liling City was already dead, and the 200,000 army besieged the city, even if Zhuo Bailing, who was well-guarded, was difficult to preserve.
Su Qing's disappearance is a common thing, but at this time, when he lost contact, Meng Yan was also beating a drum in his heart, after all, in the face of Zhong Roulan, the only force that could be used now was the 100,000 army of Zhaonan, and when he came out of Xiaochang, he ordered the support of the five schools in Zhaonan, and it was estimated that it would take ten days to arrive according to the instructions.
Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, just when Meng Yan was at a loss, a familiar fragrance floated over, Meng Yan looked along the aroma, surprised, she came, her own warm harbor, Meng Yan was a little in a trance, shouldn't Gu Qingfeng be in Chengdu at this time? How did it end up here? Could it be that I miss it too much?
It wasn't until a bowl of fragrant meat porridge was placed in front of him that he confirmed that this was not a dream, it was real, "Shichiro, are you hungry?" ”
Meng Yan smiled, his reassuring pill came, and he immediately got up and turned out of the desk to hug Gu Qingfeng into his arms, unable to let go for a long time.
"Lord Wang, this is a military tent, convergence point?" Gu Qingfeng said playfully.
Meng Yan embarrassedly let go of Gu Qingfeng and said, "Why are you here?" Something happened in Chengdu? ”
"No, there are Zhuo Gong and Ye Shuai in Chengdu, I know you are difficult now, so I came, and they didn't stop me." Gu Qingfeng said in a relaxed tone.
"You are the master mother, you are too willful, with Ye Bohuai here, Zhuo Gong and Uncle Zhuo will definitely not be able to stop you, right?" Meng Yan could think of how Gu Qingfeng came out smoothly with his toes.
"Haha! Jin Shuai led the three schools and then arrived, at least he could solve the temporary predicament. A loud laugh confirmed Meng Yan's guess.
"With Jin Shuai's 30,000 people, I have the confidence to make Tang Yuan cry." Meng Yan became arrogant at this time.
Gu Qingfeng raised her sleeves and covered her mouth and smiled, rubbing her stomach while laughing, she had been with Meng Yan for a long time, Gu Qingfeng's elegance would only be shown when she was the princess, and she also felt that Meng Yan was just a brother next door, just like to be handsome.
"Shichiro, I just like to see you speak like this!"
Then the two laughed together, and the laughter came out of the big tent, which relieved the originally nervous soldiers, the prince and the princess were there, what are you afraid of, Dongfu is just a clown jumping off the beam.
"By the way, go and write a letter to my uncle, and find me two clever attendants."
"No brother, I found one for you, do you want to meet it?" Gu Qingfeng pretended to be mysterious and said.
Meng Yan was interested, and those who could enter Gu Qingfeng's eyes must be unusual, but most of them were children of the family, and he wanted to know which family's children they were, "Tell me, whose children are they?" ”
"He is an orphan, not from the two houses, but better than the two houses, Wen can chant poems and endow, so that the teachers of Qingyang Academy are like facing a great enemy, the martial arts are ingenious, and they are a family of their own, and a hundred people dare to break into the camp of 10,000 people, and take the head of the general is like a bag to take things, and on the way to drink, it is even more for our Ye Shuai to seek defeat." The more Gu Qingfeng spoke, the more mysterious it became.
"Is there still such a person under the rule of Xifu? Qingfeng, you can't be scolding me, are you? Meng Yan didn't believe that such a teenager existed at all.
"Huo Youji! Enter! ”
With Gu Qingfeng's heroic voice, a young man strode in, knelt on one knee, and a crisp voice sounded, "Cao Min Huo You's illness is seeing the prince!" ”
is a chivalrous young man, neither humble nor arrogant, although he is not a beautiful man, but the aura of this body is enough to attract the attention of the surroundings.
Meng Yan was puzzled, where did this kid come from?
"Get up, boy, the princess has praised you to heaven, this king doesn't believe it, test you, do you dare?" Meng Yan tasted defiant, trying his guts.
"Please ask the prince to ask the question!"
"Give you a stick of incense and tell me how to relieve the siege of Liling." Meng Yan said as he moved out of the way and let Huo Youji go to the table.
Gu Qingfeng brought the meat porridge on the table to Meng Yan, Meng Yan looked at Huo Youjian with interest while drinking the porridge, Gu Qingfeng naturally walked behind Meng Yan and pinched his shoulder.
A bowl of porridge was put down, and just after putting it down, Huo Youji suddenly raised his head and said: "Lord Wang, the siege of Liling is insolvable, but the grass people can make the soldiers of Liling retreat." ”
Meng Yan raised his head lightly and motioned for him to continue, this kid is a little interesting, and no matter what the way he retreats, it can be seen that the siege of Liling cannot be solved, and it is not simple.
"Lord Wang, Liling City is built according to Xiangshui, Chu Dian's army is downstream of Xiangshui, intercepting the river, if you do it fast enough, not only can you return the whole body, but Chu Dian will lose a lot." Huo Youzhi is full of confidence.
Meng Yan bowed his head slightly, this kid can be of great use, he can definitely be in charge of one side if he stays by his side for a few years, the method of intercepting the river is right, but it is too hasty, it is good that he can think of it in a bowl of porridge.
"What's the matter with the princess saying that you broke into the camp with a hundred horsemen?" Meng Yan had already approved of him.
Huo Youji scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "I was originally exiled in the Qiang Department of Western Sichuan, after Zhuge Xingchen entered Western Sichuan, he forcibly recruited us wandering Central Plains people to work for him, I didn't want to pull some friends to fight against him, and then I was betrayed, we were besieged by Zhuge Xingchen, I took the remaining brothers to rush to kill the left battalion, hit them by surprise, and by the way took the head of the commander of the left battalion, and met the army of Hu Shuai after running out. ”
Meng Yan turned his head to Gu Qingfeng and asked, "Yu Geng sent him to Chengdu?" Is this rest of the tiger willing to go? ”
"He drank too much and bragged to Ye Shuai, Ye Shuai drank with his young illness when he was interested, who would have thought that our Xifu Wine Emperor would be willing to admit defeat, and the name of the wine fairy spread all over Chengdu, how could I not know, I know, Yu Laohu still dares to rob me of people?" Gu Qingfeng said triumphantly.
"Young disease, you are white, there are only two ways to realize your dream in Xifu, one is to go to study in the two academies, and the other is to be the king's personal guard, you choose." Talents are rare, and Meng Yan hopes that he will be trained by the two academies system.
Huo Youji said without hesitation: "Lord Wang, the grass people are willing to be the guards and fight in all directions with the prince!" ”
Meng Yan was a little surprised, the temptation of the two houses was great, and the background of the two houses was even more orthodox, this kid gave up without even thinking about it.
"Boy, do you know what the two houses stand for?"
"I know, but I just want to follow the prince to dominate the Central Plains." Huo Youzhi is very stubborn.
Meng Yan shook his head and said, "If you don't regret it, this king ordered you to be the captain of Bai Zewei's army and serve the king." ”
After Huo Youji went out, the corners of Meng Yan's mouth rose, staring at Gu Qingfeng with love, and suddenly, one turned around and hugged Gu Qingfeng in his arms and said, "You are my little lucky star, say, do you miss me?" ”
Gu Qingfeng hooked Meng Yan's chin with his index finger, and deliberately made a provocative look and said, "Isn't Qilang Mo going to be emotional in the big tent?" ”
