On the third day of the fifth month, Xifu Huangchuan commanded Zhou Ce to personally lead 5,000 elite cavalry to bypass Xicheng and march towards Luoshan, and Yu Qingwu was planning with Xiao Han in Caizhou at the moment to go south, which means that when Qingwu learned the news, Zhou Ce had already taken Luoshan lightly, and was between Shenzhou City and Xicheng.

Yu Qingwu's teeth itched with hatred, so he immediately returned to Xicheng and led the soldiers of Shenzhou City to meet Zhou Ce who attacked Luoshan with him.

However, Tan Ji didn't give him a chance, after Luoshan was occupied, Tan Ji immediately entered Shenzhou, forcing Shenzhou's soldiers and horses not to dare to move, so that Yu Qingwu could not move in Xicheng, and when the two sides were tense, it was Zhou Ce who was the safest.

Yu Qingwu left Caizhou, where would the prince of Houling let go of this good opportunity, and attacked Caizhou with all the soldiers and horses of Runan, which annoyed Xiao Han, he was bullied in Suizhou, and he was pinched as a soft persimmon when he returned to Caizhou, so Xiao Han attacked for the first time regardless of the opposition to lead the army, and the two armies met in Pingyu, and the big war was imminent.

When Zhong Rouxuan just planned to transfer the old army of Xiangyang to Runan to support the prince, Meng Huan came, Meng Huan personally led 50,000 troops to occupy Xinye again, Da Xi Qianbi had to send troops to stabilize the situation, and Zhao He, the commander of the old army of Xiangyang, took the opportunity to strengthen the Danjiang River, but it backfired, the defenders on the south bank of the Danjiang River were extremely strong, especially the sailors cruising in the river always appeared at the right time to repel the old army of Xiangyang.

Just when the flowers bloomed in various places, something unexpected happened, a Xifu elite secretly crossed Tongbai Mountain, on the morning of the seventh day of the fifth month, Tongbai County, which was still asleep, had fallen, Xuansong only left a 3,000-strong army of Duwei to appease Tongbai, relying on the defense of Tongbai Mountain.

On the evening of May 8, the unprepared Miyang fell, Da Xi Qianbi rushed to the direction of Miyang like a frightened horse, clinker Xuansong changed the direction of the battle again, and 5,000 elite cavalry marched in a hurry, and in less than half a day's effort, they entered the Queshan Mountain, and Runan was in danger.

After the prince of Houling learned the news, he went crazy to help, but where would Xiao Yu, who was dizzy, let him go, seeing that Quan Hui was going to run, Xiao Yu ordered a full-scale attack, one wanted to come back to help, and the other forced to keep you, the two sides fell into a bloody battle in Pingyu, and the final result was Quan Hui's tragic victory, leading the remnants back to aid Runan.

As soon as he arrived at the city of Runan, the big flag fluttering on the head of the city, Quan Hui almost didn't fall off his horse when he saw it, and the bright and dangling Condor military flag swaggered very much with the wind.

Quan Hui was angry to attack Runan, but fortunately, the subordinates around him were still sober-minded, and they dragged their prince to death, and the remnants of the army retreated to Suiping in a gloomy manner, and saving their lives at this time is the most important thing.

On May 10, when Xiao Han, who was defeated in Pingyu, returned to Caizhou, he suffered the same treatment as Quan Hui, and a little girl-like person was lying on the head of Caizhou City, and said with a smile: "The king of Anqing, the lord of this county is polite!" ”

This is Zhou Ce's backhand, Yu Qingwu can lock him and Tan Ji with his own strength and dare not move, but he didn't expect that Quan Hui would take the initiative to attack, let alone think that there are still soldiers and horses in Huangchuan Mansion who can go north, interlocking, and almost all the elites of the two marshal's mansions were dispatched to bait for a small force in exchange for such a victory, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a fluke.

Xiao Yu's combat power has been exhausted, and he has no choice to retreat to Yingzhou for repair, but in less than ten days, the young generals of Xifu have become famous in one fell swoop, and even Kerunan and Caizhou, by the way, will be surrounded by Qingwu regiments.

When Meng Huan learned that Runan and Caizhou had been taken, he also quickly withdrew from the confrontation with Da Xi Qianbi, and led a large army to Shenzhou, where a total of 130,000 troops from the two major marshals would be trapped in Qingwu.

"General! Withdraw, it'll be too late if you don't! Yu Qingwu's personal guards pleaded, taking advantage of the lack of troops in Huangchuan and the gap, they quickly retreated to save their lives.

Yu Qingwu didn't understand the truth, but he was unwilling! A group of madmen actually brought back the defeat within ten days, not to mention, and surrounded themselves by the way, I can't figure it out! It's also unreasonable, most of the military horses cover for a small group of troops, this way of playing is too unreasonable, let alone the way of using troops, but I have to admit that they won, and there is nothing to say about winning themselves.

That's it, the defeat is decided, let's withdraw, last time Teng Han had already helped himself to stick to Yingzhou without losing, and his own place must be dealt with by himself, Yu Qingwu looked at the south and sighed, and said: "The flying pigeon spreads the book to Shenzhou City, and each breaks through!" ”

On May 15, Yu Qingwu retreated all the way north, and did not encounter any resistance along the way, the cities around the city were just held, and there was not a single soldier outside the city, until Yu Qingwu entered the territory of Yingzhou from the Mituo Temple, and the whole process of Xifu soldiers and horses was very quiet.

On the 16th of May, Shenzhou surrendered, opened the city gate, and welcomed the army, so far, from the loss of Suizhou to not only regain the lost territory, but also take Shenzhou, Runan and Caizhou.

Chengdu is naturally not stingy with convenience, and the first merit is Xuansong, who was promoted to the auxiliary commander of the Condor Army and promoted to the Marquis of Runan County; followed by Meng Huan, who served as the auxiliary commander of the white-clothed army, and gave him 3,000 stones; After that, Tan Ji was promoted to the general of Suizhou, controlled the soldiers and horses of Suizhou, Shenzhou, Huangchuan and Caizhou, and was promoted to the marquis of Xiaochang County.

What is surprising is that Huangchuan commanded Zhou Ce, did not listen to moderation, sent troops indiscriminately, almost broke a major event, etc., in the eyes of the people, it felt that they were all some trumped-up charges, and only the senior generals in the army knew that Zhou Ce was wrong because he should not let the county lord take the risk of seizing Caizhou.

As a result, he still has a little merit in reading, and he was transferred to the commander of Shangyong, without a title, when Zhou Ce left, Meng Wanshu stood on the head of the city and actually shed a few tears, and the princes Meng Jingyan and Shi Zun, who were ordered to escort her back, shuddered when they saw this, and generally Meng Wanshu had such a performance that she didn't know whose family was going to suffer.

"Are you so happy to get rid of me? Zhou Ce, Zhou Zijin, the lord of this county remembers you! Meng Wanshu had already boiled the pot in her heart.

The war in the north is basically over, and the losses of the three parties are not small, and even Xuansong reported to Chengdu in the hope of repairing for a period of time.

"What do you think of Xuan Song's playing?" Meng Yan asked Gu Yanfeng.

"It's the truth, Yunmeng's grain and grass have been consumed to the warning value set before, and the casualties of the soldiers are too obvious, after a few battles, the two marshals' mansions have lost nearly a quarter of the soldiers." Gu Yanfeng said with a sigh.

Meng Yan nodded, thought for a while and said, "The matter of replenishing the soldiers and horses is handed over to the two courts, and you personally go to Yunmeng and bring Wanshu back to me, it's too nonsense!" ”

When it came to Meng Wanshu, Gu Yanfeng suddenly felt a headache, this aunt wanted to emulate Su Qing, and she put herself in danger regardless of her own life, if it weren't for Yu Qingwu's lack of attention to her, she would have been captured a long time ago with her little cleverness, and she was afraid to think about it.

"The minister obeys the order, will the prince return together?" Gu Yanfeng asked tentatively.

"He doesn't need to, tell him, let him and Xiao Shi stay at Shiyi Lang honestly, and tell Xiao Shi that no one will rob him of his father's position, and then have a conflict with Xuan Song and Tan Ji, and deal with it directly by military law!" Meng Yan frowned and said, but it was only a few days after a good life, and the stinky problem of a noble body has developed.

"The prince doesn't have to be too harsh on the prince, the prince is already quite good among his peers, and the masters and sect leaders of the two houses are very respectful."

"You are his uncle, so naturally you will speak well for him." Meng Yan said dissatisfied, but this dissatisfaction was more like a conversation about the family's worries about their children.

Gu Yanfeng smiled and suddenly froze, looked at Meng Yan, hesitated for a long time but decided to say it, before he could speak, Meng Yan raised his hand to stop it, and said: "Uncle, don't say some things, if you say anything else, it will hurt our feelings." ”

"Your Highness, this is not the meaning of your subordinates, it is the meaning of officials and generals at all levels in Xifu, there have been a lot of documents from the border in the past few days, and Xuan Song and others also have this meaning." Gu Yanfeng looked bitter.

"The Central Plains has eroded like this, how can you have such a mind, this is to trap the prince in injustice!" Gu Qingfeng let out a deafening voice from the apse and scolded her brother.

Gu Yanfeng said fearlessly: "I have to speak up for everyone after breaking such a family relationship today, Your Highness can't hesitate any longer, I know that Your Highness taboos the system of the world, but everyone gathers together because of the prince, if the prince is not willing to take on this responsibility, I dare to assert that the day of the collapse of the West Mansion is not far away!" ”

Seeing that Gu Yanfeng gambled his life and future to speak out, it seems that most of the officials and generals in Xifu, even all the officials, generals, and even the common people have this idea, and this idea cannot be stopped.

Gu Qingfeng did not hesitate to clash with his brother in order to maintain Meng Yan's ideas, and seeing that the two were about to be more serious, Meng Yan said: "Brother, if you do that, how can you ensure the interests of the people, this world belongs to the people, not to the nobles and scholars of the family, do you understand?" ”

"Giving the Cabinet and the People's Intelligence Yuan more powers, and the People's Intelligence Yuan can only be related to the people, this is the best way at the moment." Gu Yanfeng had already had a countermeasure with the people of the three stations and four courtyards.

Meng Yan smiled bitterly: "You have all thought of countermeasures for me, what else can I do?" I'm probably the most reluctant person ever to go down this path. ”

"Your Highness!" Gu Qingfeng shouted remindedly.

"Qingfeng, do I have a way out?" Meng Yan's helplessness is the expression of his true feelings, and even Gu Yanfeng clearly knows that Meng Yan's biggest dream is actually his wife and children, and it is just his responsibility to unify the Central Plains.

"Your Highness, the situation in various places is very tense now, and our doing this will arouse the fighting spirit of the soldiers, and for the situation in the Central Plains, there is only good, no harm." Gu Yanfeng saw that Meng Yan was loose, so he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.

Meng Yan got up and said: "Uncle don't be so anxious, you can tell them privately that this king has this intention, but not now, I will never break my promise after Hanzhong, Yonggui and Xingtan are completely pacified!" ”

Gu Yanfeng immediately knelt down and bowed: "The minister obeys the order!" The "purpose" was deliberately made very clear.

"Also, you all have a countermeasure in private, and let's come up with a charter for the affairs of the cabinet and the people's court."

Gu Yanfeng left in high spirits, leaving Meng Yan and his wife with sad faces, neither of them spoke, and the sound of the breeze could be heard in the entire library hall.

"Shichiro, this day is still here." Gu Qingfeng was the first to break the tranquility and said.

"I can't stop it, my idea is originally large, and it is not easy for them to accept it now, Xiao Yu once told me, he said that my idea is very dangerous, and it will be attacked by the world, I don't believe it, but I believe my uncle's attitude." Meng Yan said a little lonely.

"They just want a real glory, since ancient times, learning good literature and martial arts, selling the emperor's family is the truest idea in their hearts, used to be called a wealthy family, now it is a noble and high-ranking official, everyone always has to paint something, that's right, what do you say?"

Meng Yan didn't reply again, walked to Gu Qingfeng's side, took her hand and walked slowly to the door of the hall, looked at the scenery outside the hall and the busy figure in the distance, and said: "One day I want them to understand why we live in the world, and the goal of life is not for the sake of fine clothes, but for the harmony of the world." ”

"The concubine understands, the concubine has always understood, otherwise how could she sell it to you so willingly." Gu Qingfeng burst into tears with a smile.

Meng Yan wiped away her tears for her, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll solve my troubles, your troubles can only be dealt with by you, I'm afraid that the lady in Chengdu Mansion will come to the door soon, Wanyu is good, let her help you." ”
