Chapter 168: The Resurgence of the Old and the New (1)
Strange things happen every year, there are more things in the second year of Datong, Yu Qingwu was assassinated when he inspected military affairs in Caizhou, and he was seriously injured, and Wang Xiaohan, who temporarily presided over military affairs, couldn't sit still, and immediately organized soldiers and horses to march into Caizhou City.
This made the Xuanjun in Caizhou City unable to say that they had nothing to do with each other for a long time, and no one would be idle to provoke a war, but since they were surrounded, the Xuanjun was not stunned, and directly put on a posture of a life-and-death duel.
The trio of the Condor Army that had just been formed were forced to make the first decision before they were familiar with each other, and it was no wonder that the three of them were in disobedience, the geographical span of the garrison of the Marshal Mansion was too long, Tan Ji was in Suizhou, Xuansong was in the middle of Jiangxia, and Huo Youjian was far away in Jiujiang, and it was very difficult for the three of them to meet.
But it just so happened that when the three of them agreed to meet, it was at the moment of Yu Qingwu's assassination, and the trio had arrived, and the assassination of Yu Qingwu was even more unclear, and Xuan Song's first reaction was that he was calculated.
"Auxiliary commander, no matter how calculating us now, we can't sit back and watch Caizhou City fall, the last general thinks that it is the first to order Runan Mansion to send a school government to rescue the soldiers and horses." Tan Ji said a little excitedly, but he could understand, after all, Caizhou City was his defense area.
"No! If someone really set up a game, why can't it be Yu Qingwu and Xiao Han? If they set up a situation, as long as our Runan soldiers and horses come out, it is not impossible for Runan to be lost! Huo Youji sternly rejected Tan Ji's opinion.
Watching the two of them rattling, Xuan Song felt more and more that this so-called command and decision-making team was a burden, but the orders of the imperial court had to be obeyed even if they broke their teeth.
"Two, we are discussing military affairs, not fighting, and we will collect your anger!" Xuan Song said angrily.
Seeing that the two of them were a little restrained, Xuan Song continued: "There are still two recruits from the school in Huangchuan Mansion, and they can all rush to the aid of Caizhou City, Tan Hou, you can lead the school in Macheng to the north." ”
Tan Ji was about to speak, but Xuan Song raised his hand to stop him, then looked at Huo Youji, and said, "Huo Hou, there is a team of infantry and cavalry soldiers from two schools in Qizhou City under your command to attack Songzi. ”
Huo Youji didn't object, thought for a while, and said: "Auxiliary marshal, don't need so much, I only need three thousand fine horses, and I don't fight Songzi to fight Songzi, right?" ”
Xuan Song breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this Huo Youjian is also a little more vigorous, and his brain is still very bright, and then he looked at Tan Ji, this kid is also from a good background, and he has some stinky problems of rich children.
Tan Ji glanced at Huo Youji and said, "I think Huaibin's soldiers and horses can also move, anyway, they are all to support Caizhou, what does the assistant marshal think?" ”
Xuan Song thought for a while, and then said: "Yes, Caoji Town is a pass, it's okay to play with them, if the two of you don't have any objections, let's submit a letter to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, right?" ”
The two were noncommittal, and the leaders set off, Xuan Song looked at the backs of the two, and said in his heart: "The two downhill tigers have finally been dispatched." But what Xuan Song didn't know was that these two people would be entangled with him for the rest of their lives, and this conflict was just the beginning.
"King Jun, I'm impulsive, I'm fine." Yu Qingwu covered his wound and said with a pale face.
Knowing that Xiao Han organized men and horses to besiege Caizhou City, where could Yu Qingwu still sit still, someone deliberately made trouble in Jiujiang last year, hoping to provoke a tripartite war, but it was unsuccessful, and this time his assassination was the same, so he hurried to the camp to stop it regardless of the injuries on his body.
"General, it's already done." Xiao Han knew that he was impulsive, but he had already done it, and it was too late to stop, so he said with a wry smile.
"Send a messenger to see Xuansong, the war with General Teng in the north is tight, we can't have any more disputes here, and last year Chengdu sent the king of Guangchang County back safe and sound, so it is unreasonable for us to do so." Yu Qingwu's decision to negotiate peace with Xuansong is different from quartz in Qingwu's eyes.
"General, it's too late, the report says that Tan Ji is almost here, and Songzi has also been attacked by Huo Youji." Xiao Han really regretted it, but it was too late to regret it.
As soon as he heard that Huo You's attack on Songzi was disturbed, Yu Qingwu's head was big, why, because Xiao Zhan, the king of Guangchang County, was stationed in Xizhou, and the hatred between him and Daxuan naturally didn't need to be repeated, and it was his mercy to die endlessly.
Sure enough, the news soon came that Xiao Zhan ignored the opposition of his generals, ordered 100,000 Xizhou troops to go straight to Songzi, and put on a posture of wanting to eat Huo Youji, which was a good thing for Huo Youji, decisively changed the direction of the attack, and dispatched the Jiujiang Naval Division to directly enter the four lakes of Xizhou, which frightened Zhong Fan, who was stationed at the mouth of the lake, immediately made the most rigorous defensive deployment, but when he saw the intention of the Xuan army, he also began to move in his heart, did he take the opportunity to take Furong Town? Two powerful neighbors always keep him awake from sleeping, and solving one is one.
Quan Xi never dreamed that the thing that had been tossed for so long last year was not successful, and now there was a sudden turnaround, he was very grateful to the killer, although this person was not sent by him, as the so-called intentional planting of flowers and flowers did not bloom, and unintentionally planted willows and willows, the main battlefield shifted from Caizhou to Peng Ze in an instant.
"Check it out! Get the guy behind me out! It's been twice, what have you brocade unicorns been doing all these years! Meng Heng's assassination made me and Meng Yan completely unable to reconcile, now that Yu Qingwu has been assassinated, Peng Ze is fighting, give you three months to find this person behind you, you go and thank you yourself. Xiao Yu's irritable imperial study scolded Wen Jun and Xu Yu.
The two are also very innocent, after the Menghui incident, not only the two ya, but the Ming Jian Division is also looking for the black shadow behind it, but this black shadow suddenly disappeared, all the people who are related to it are dead or missing, and the traces have been wiped out, who would have thought that after so many years, this person has appeared again, but whether it is the two yas or the Ming Jian Division, they are sure that this black shadow must be hidden in Daning.
The fire is out, things still have to be done, Yu Qingwu sent someone to see Xuansong, but now Zhong Fan is also involved, no one is willing to collect their troops, whoever retreats first will admit it, and political negotiations can't stop decision-making on the battlefield.
"Huaihou personally led the Jiangxia Sailor to Chaisangkou, and the crisis behind us has been temporarily lifted." Huo Youji didn't sleep for two days in a row, he was afraid that some things would get out of control since the seizure of the four lakes, Da Chu continued to increase troops to the mouth of the lake, and Daning requisitioned all the water divisions along the river.
Fortunately, Xuan Song had enough prediction, and personally led the Jiangxia Sailor to take over the defense of Chai Sangkou, and at the same time, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion asked the Dongting Sailor to be transferred, and if there was no accident, the Dongting Sailor could also rush to the battlefield within ten days, so that from the number of the three families did not want to go up and down, at this time it depends on the ability of the commander.
The generals of the three parties are at a disadvantage in the command of the water division, Xuansong and Huo Youji are not from the water generals, they are a little jerky in command, and Huo Youji is barely holding on after seizing the four lakes.
And Yu Qingwu on the Ning army's side did not mix with the command at all, and did his best to do a good job in logistics support, because Xiao Ze, the king of Dongyang County, was going to take over the command of the operation, and Xiao Ze was entangled with pirates and the East China Sea division along the coast all the year round, and it could not be said that he had never been defeated, but the tranquility of the Daning coastline was almost completely defended by him.
As for the command ability of the Chu Army Zhongfan Naval Division, it can be said that he is the first person in the Central Plains, the Zhong family itself eats by the sea, and it lives firmly on the coast of the Central Plains with the inheritance of several generations, and it is even more like an arm to come to this river, which is one of the reasons why the three families have been living together peacefully in Pengze.
In fact, Meng Yan, who is far away in Chengdu, is also a lawsuit, the turmoil in Zhaonan is still continuing, the siege of Caizhou has not been resolved, the good guy Peng Ze has fought again, the sailor has always been a pain in his heart, and he has never taken the initiative to provoke in recent years because his own sailor is not good, and the court can not pick out the right candidate, the reason is that Daxuan is located in the southwest, although it is a developed water system, but there is no coast, and the many years of conquest are almost all land wars.
"Where's the mother?!" Meng Yan was a little irritable, usually Gu Qingfeng always had to appear appropriately at this time, but this time he didn't show up for a long time.
"Your Majesty, Niangniang took the two princesses out of the palace early in the morning." The new pro-army lieutenant replied in a low voice.
Compared with the previous pro-army lieutenants, Yan Que is the most dutiful, but his temper is too serious, and An Cang is somewhat similar, the difference is that this kid looks at his eyes quickly, but he never lives proudly, it is very rare, in Meng Yan's heart, this is the candidate for the next internal security general, and it is even more rare that An Cang is also very proud of him, and An Cang, who rarely praises people, is actually selected with Yan Que as the standard in the selection of the martial arts academy, which is the biggest praise.
"Who followed?" Meng Yan is very anxious.
"Ning Nanhou led people to follow." There is no nonsense in Yanque, almost just asking and answering.
"Where did you go?" Meng Yan was obviously a little impatient, and his tone began to rise.
Yan Que was a little nervous at this time, but he had to answer, it is taboo to explore the whereabouts of the Heavenly Family, even if he is the head of His Majesty's Bai Ze Internal Guard.
After hesitating for a moment, he knelt on the ground and replied: "The minister is His Majesty's pro-military guard, not the Yueqing internal guard, and the whereabouts of the late Niangniang are unknown," Seeing Meng Yan on the verge of an outbreak, Yan Que continued: "Today's cabinet duty should know. ”
Meng Yan swallowed the breath in his throat, because he couldn't blame Yan Que, as the leader of Bai Ze's internal guard, he had done his duty.
Just when Meng Yan was about to summon the cabinet to be on duty, Gu Qingfeng came back, looked at him with a smile, and half of the anger in his heart dissipated in an instant.
"Your Majesty, what's the matter? So angry? As he spoke, he waved his hand slightly at Yan Que, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked him to retreat.
The words of the pardon disappeared quickly with small steps, and the door of the temple was closed with his hand.
"Where have you been?" Meng Yan looked childish and unhappy.
Gu Qingfeng saw that there was no one around, and the door of the palace was closed, so he untied the queen's outfit in front of Meng Yan without any scruples, it was too tiring, and by the way, he said: "Today, the girl of the thirteenth brother's family, Wanping, is in the family, and the princess asks the concubine to go over and take a closer look." ”
"Oh? How old is Wanping, so she is ready to give her a family? Who are they all going to? Meng Yan suddenly became interested.
"You see, Wanping is fifteen years old, and no one is allowed to lose her face, the concubines took Wanyu and Wanshu to go, Princess Hanzhong and Princess Lingling are also there, Princess Lingling is the elder of our family, and she is more respectful." Gu Qingfeng said angrily.
"Which one? And let Princess Lingling come forward? "Princess Lingling is a woman in the Mengshi clan whose status is second only to Gu Qingfeng, and she has a higher seniority, she is a member of the generation after the reconstruction of the Mengshi clan, and it is generally not the case that the children of the clan do not need her to come forward.
"The quartz stone in the photo, Mrs. Zhuo's matchmaker, do you want Princess Lingling to come forward?" After a pause, he said casually: "Su Qing is also there." ”
