Chapter 142 North-South Confrontation

The lawsuit between Quartz and Gu Xifeng finally came to Meng Yan's case, but what he didn't expect was that the letter actually had Meng Huan's remarks, and Quartz's status had reached such a point in three years.

"Shichiro, everyone has grown in the past three years, and Quartz needs a big victory if he wants to deter these fierce generals." Gu Qingfeng said while arranging Meng Wanshu's headdress.

"Jing Yan, what do you think?" Meng Yan seemed to have an idea in his heart, and when he saw Meng Jingyan standing on the side, he asked him intentionally.

The sudden question made Meng Jingyan almost unrestrained, his father was strict enough, his mother never relaxed his education, and his sister was not a good person, how could he still speak at this time.

Meng Yan was not in a hurry, and Gu Qingfeng on the side also said with a smile: "Erlang, your father asked you something, and you will answer it when you think about it, don't worry." ”

The mother's voice is always gentle, always able to give the child the most relaxed state, Meng Jingyan knew since he was a child that he would inherit the huge Xifu in the future, although he often followed his sister to mess around, but the daily kung fu and learning have never been pulled down, of course, it is difficult to pull down, one of the three divisions of the palace is his uncle, a master of government affairs Zhuo Gong, and the other is the military array, the first Ye Gong of the Xifu military, where can his little cleverness be hidden.

After thinking about it solemnly, he first saluted Meng Yan and Gu Qingfeng respectfully, and then said: "Father, mother, General Gu and Marshal have belonged to two parts since the establishment of the army, and Marshal Gu and General Gu don't want to go up and down in terms of seniority; In terms of military merits, the heroic marshal is slightly better than General Gu, but General Gu is undefeated with Qingshuai, and the defeat of the heroic marshal is indeed solid; In terms of identity, the two relatives are not much different from each other, so General Gu is not convinced at all. ”

Meng Yan nodded, it would be good to be able to see through one of these layers, at least his studies were not wasted, and he was about to praise a few words, when Meng Wanshu, who had combed her hair on the side, suddenly said: "Father, in fact, you have long wanted to separate them, right?" Uncle Clan's book is too deliberate, in fact, there is no such serious contradiction between Uncle and Yingshuai, right? ”

In a word, Gu Qingfeng looked at Meng Yan proudly, and said with a smile: "Shu'er's words are reasonable, what does the prince think?" ”

Meng Yan was surprised, but at the same time felt a little sad, they were originally brothers in the same camp, but now the involution is so serious, it seems that power can really make people lose their minds, even if it is their own brother, they are also testing their bottom line intentionally or unintentionally, things to do, there must be beating, and the things on the battlefield don't know when they have become a bargaining chip in political competition.

"Princess, you send a letter to your uncle, tell him in your private name, I am preparing to separate them, but the candidate for Liangchuan has not yet been decided, take care of yourself." Meng Yan's tone was a little impatient.

Gu Qingfeng knew that her brother was at a loss, and she didn't like her brother's approach, but after all, he was a brother, and his affection was difficult to give up, and she was still happy about Meng Yan's steps.

Then Meng Yan said to Meng Jingyan: "You set off today, go to Xiangyang, find your uncle, and tell him that you want to train in his army, and I will give you a will to experience in the army, and he won't be so careful when you are there." ”

"Erchen obeys," he said and hesitated, "What if the clan uncle intends to win over the effect?" ”

Meng Yan waved his hand and said: "He doesn't dare, at most he will be closer to you, you yourself should also pay attention, I have no objection to you befriending the generals in the army, but you can't favor one over the other, it will cause a riot, understand?" Meng Yan's tone became more and more harsh.

Then he smiled at Meng Wanshu and said, "Shu'er, it's good for you to go to Jingshan with Aunt Su Qing tomorrow, and Xiaoshi is also going to join the army, so how about you go and play a trick?" ”

This is angry, my daughter, you actually want her to go to the army, Gu Qingfeng raised his eyebrows, and said angrily: "Lord Wang, why don't you take a trip to Jingshan for you?" Quartz still respects me enough! ”

Meng Yan had forgotten a mother's temper after all calculations, and when she saw Gu Qingfeng walking on the verge of anger, she hurriedly arched her hand and said: "Let Shu'er go is to give Quartz a wake-up call and take care of his own affairs, Yu Qingwu is enough for him to be busy, our girl has always been straightforward in her talk, and she has a good relationship with the middle and middle levels of the army." ”

Gu Qingfeng suppressed the fire and said, "It's okay to go, I'm going too, Su Qing is already busy." As he spoke, he looked directly at Meng Yan.

Meng Yan patted his head, closed his eyes, and said helplessly: "Follow the princess's order!" ”

Gu Qingfeng left satisfied, Meng Wanshu jumped out of the door, Meng Jingyan breathed a sigh of relief and trotted away, and His Royal Highness King Yong was in a daze in the main hall, who could know that the master of the dignified West Mansion was not as good as a dog.

Zhong Rouxuan, the queen mother in Luochen City, is also angry at this time, Quan Zheng avoided her and directly ordered the matter of Da Xi Qianbi's southward trip, and now Da Xi Qianbi was surrounded by Xifu in Dengzhou and thought of her again, if it weren't for the queen's throne, Zhong Rouxuan really wanted to treat Quan Zheng as Tushan Jinyuan.

Looking at Quan Zheng with a sad face, Zhong Rouxuan cleared her throat and said in an extremely sarcastic tone: "Shengming is not as good as Your Majesty, General Daxi's attack has vividly completed the defense of Dengzhou. ”

Quan Zheng's face was cloudy and sunny for a while, Zhong Rouxuan didn't give him any face, but he had no choice but to endure it, he urgently needed Zhong Rouxuan's intelligence to help him tide over the difficulties in front of him.

"If Dengzhou is lost, Nanyang is in danger, Nanyang is the southern gate of Luochen, and I ask the queen to save me!"

This is true, Nanyang's important ministers, the strategic significance is even a few points stronger than Xiangyang, angry is angry, things must be done.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses of Chengdu are estimated to have taken Xinye at this time, please order General Daxi to let go of the Neixiang Pass and let the old Xiangyang Department of Xiangyang, which is gathered in Xichuan, go out of the Danjiang Estuary again, at least to ensure that Dengzhou is safe for a while!"

This time it was Quan Zheng's turn to be embarrassed, and the promise he made to Zhong Rouxuan that day had not been fulfilled, and he even used a tough way to move the old Xiangyang Department to Xichuan to garrison, and closed the Neixiang Pass, completely locking them in Funiu Mountain.

After thinking about it for a long time, in fact, it is also calculating, the surrounding areas of Luochen are rich and populous, but the key problem is that the counties around Luochen are the land of four wars, and now the best soldiers who can move are in defense, only the soldiers and horses led by Zhong Rouxuan are idle, Tushan Jinyuan and Cao Li's affairs are clear to him, this woman is not willing to be subordinate, once she is released, she swims in the water like a fish, and she is comfortable.

"Queen, the Inner Township Pass can be released, and the sergeant's family must live in Xichuan, it's not that I'm too cautious, it's because most of them are from Xiangyang and it's not safe."

Kwon Zheng's excuse is good.

Zhong Rouxuan spread her hands, and then slowly bowed down and said: "Since Your Majesty has concerns, there is no good way for the concubine, and the loss of Dengzhou is only a matter of time, and the concubine will retire." ”

Just when Zhong Rouxuan was about to disappear, Quan Zheng shouted: "The queen stays, please leave the Xichuan garrison, and be sure to keep Dengzhou from losing!" ”

Zhong Rouxuan's figure moved slightly, turned around and replied lightly: "Then please ask Your Majesty to give an order." ”

Quan Zheng's trouble was solved, Xiao Yu, the founding emperor of the Ning Dynasty, was also embarrassed, a group of Xiao clan people knelt in the hall, not how respectful they were to themselves, they were crying, they were also persecuting, they were scolding Yu Qingwu for not caring about the royal blood to provoke Meng Yan, they thought that Yu Qingwu's dispatch was Xiao Zhan's life-saving talisman.

But what can be done, they are all their own people, and they can come from Chenjing thousands of miles away to support their own country, and they can't help but give them an explanation.

Xiao Yu, who was suppressing his anger, squeezed out a smile as much as possible and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Xifu does not dare to hurt Xiao Zhan, Yu Qingwu is also kind to send troops, Chen Zhiqing has returned to Chengdu, Suizhou is empty, if we don't take this opportunity to recover Suizhou, our opportunity to unify the Central Plains will be lost." ”

The words made sense, but the listeners didn't care, an old man who was about to fall down while walking stood up and said in a trilled voice: "Your Majesty, whether it is Ning Guo or Chen Guo, it is the world of our Xiao family, Xiao Zhan had the merit of saving His Majesty back then, and he was a child of the Xiao family, how could he let a second minister decide his life?" Please think again, Your Majesty! ”

No matter how much credit Yu Qingwu has made, in the eyes of the Xiao clan, he is not credible, he is a second minister, in his heart, Xiao Yu really doesn't care about Xiao Zhan's life, as a general, it is a capital crime to underestimate the enemy and be captured, but as a member of the Xiao clan, he can't help but save it.

"Xiao Han is in the Qingwu Army, aren't you still at ease?" Xiao Yu couldn't hold back his anger a little.

"Xiao Han is young, and he can't influence an arrogant soldier like Qingwu at all, so we propose to ask Xiao Ze, the king of Dongyang County, to take charge of the Zhenxi General's Mansion, and escort Qingwu to Jinling to discuss the crime!"

After the old man finished speaking, he knelt down again, and then everyone shouted long live, this was already a naked threat, seeing that Xiao Yu was about to go berserk, Xiahou Ying appeared just right, smiled and saluted to the Xiao clan, and then said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the king of Dongyang County sent someone to send a letter to his family, and the concubine did not dare to be exclusive and asked His Majesty to decide in person." As he spoke, he gave Xiao Yu a look.

Many years of husband and wife, although there are many contradictions, but there is still a tacit understanding, Xiao Yu instantly understood what Xiahou Ying meant, it seems that Xiahou Ying has already predicted this day, after all, the only capable of commanding troops in the Xiao clan are Xiao Zhan, Xiao Ze and Xiao Han, Xiao Zhan was captured, Xiao Han is young, and everyone's hope naturally falls on Xiao Ze, what they don't know is that Xiao Ze is a smart person.

Xiao Yu's face was gloomy after seeing it, but the joy in his heart couldn't be hidden from Xiahou Ying, seeing Xiao Yu's demeanor, Xiahou Ying exhaled lightly, the matter was solved, and he bowed to Xiao Yu and slowly retreated.

Before they went far, they heard Xiao Yu say helplessly: "Everyone, the East China Sea has invaded my coast, and Xiao Ze, as the king of Dongyang County, asked for his own order to garrison." ”

This is a national event, no matter how undesirable Yu Qingwu is, but after all, it is his own internal problem, and the East China Sea is very different, alien invasion, this point of consciousness The Xiao clan still has it.

After a calculation, the old man stood up again and said, "Since Xiao Ze can't arrive for a while, please also ask Your Majesty to order Yu Qingwu to find a way to rescue Xiao Zhan." ”

"This is natural, I will immediately issue a secret order to Xiao Han, let him urge Yu Qingwu to rescue Xiao Zhan, if there is any delay, let Xiao Han immediately control the Zhenxi General's Mansion." Xiao Yu said this on his lips, but he didn't think so in his heart, the secret decree must be issued, and the oral decree must be passed on, and he must not affect his overall situation because of Xiao Zhan, this kid.

arranged the matter of the clansmen's exit, and then appeased Qingwu non-stop, and then transferred Huaiyang Marquis Sun Ji to lead 30,000 Danyang troops to join the Zhenxi General's Mansion, he still wanted to take the opportunity to solve Yunmeng's matter at one time, if he successfully won Jiangxia, Xiao Zhan would naturally come back.

The first battle in the Central Plains after three years of calm became like this, which can be described as a tiger and a chicken feather for Meng Yan, Xiao Yu or Quan Zheng.
