"General, that man has eaten and slept, slept and eaten, and has lived a calm life every day since he came to our Zezhou City." Long Tingfei's lieutenant Zhong Bai said with a look of disgust.

Long Tingfei snorted coldly and said, "What about Lu Qingchen? What's he doing? ”

"Duke Lu would ask the general about the general's itinerary in the mansion every day, day after day, and his subordinates did not see that he was displeased." Zhong Bai's attitude is obviously more favorable to Lu Qingchen, Geng Chao is not familiar with it, but Lu Qingchen still has a relationship.

"Zhong Bai, where are they, Your Majesty?" Long Tingfei didn't comment on Geng Chao and Lu Qingchen's behavior, he was more concerned about the itinerary of Quan Qing and others.

"Uh, General, Your Majesty, they arrived at Hukou the day before yesterday, but they didn't accept our people, they just continued to go north after replacing two big ships in Hukou, our people wanted to escort them all the way, but they refused." Since Quan Qing usurped the throne, Jinnan's soldiers and horses have a lot of opinions about Luo Chen, so their attitude towards Quan Qing is very average, if it weren't for their own master Long Tingfei, I'm afraid that Jinnan would have disobeyed his orders.

Long Tingfei's expression was gloomy when he heard this, no matter what the Quan family was, Long Tingfei was always good to him, and it could even be said that he was trusting, thinking of the words in Quan Qing's letter to him, he felt a little unbearable, but Quan Qing chose to go north to join Beimu, as a Central Plains person, it was absolutely impossible.

"Let Long San escort him secretly, the monarch and the minister, do your best, tell Long San that you are not allowed to cross the border, no matter what you encounter, you are not allowed to cross the border."

After Quan's affairs were arranged, Long Tingfei stood up and put on his armor, daily inspections are essential, as for Lu Qingchen and Geng Chao, he hasn't thought about who to see first, it's not so much that he hasn't thought about it, it's better that he hasn't made up his mind yet.

Zhong Bai sighed slightly, and said in his heart: "The general is still hesitating, these people are guarding Jinnan alone, how long can they last." ”

Long Tingfei's hesitation did not affect Huo Youji's decision, his army lived on the periphery of the mall, and Yu Qingwu was not allowed to go out of the city, and it was uncomfortable to watch without going out of the city, so he could only wait for Jinling's decision.

"General, this Xuan army is too deceitful! What do you mean? Fight and don't fight, retreat and don't retreat! Blocked at the door, too arrogant! General Yu Qingwu was furious.

Yu Qingwu pretended to drink a cup of tea calmly, and said: "You don't have to be like this, the Xuan army does not attack when it does, which means that they don't want to go to war, and the stable life of more than ten years is not so easy to break, they do this just to tell us that they have enough soldiers and horses to fight against us." ”

"King Yan's army has arrived in Taiyuan, and Lord Lu Qingchen is also in Jincheng, this Long Tingfei is also a person who doesn't know how to lift!" Deployment is still not angry.

"The situation of the Luochen war has not been found, it can be seen that this time the Xuan army has already been planned, the Xuan army dispatched two marshals to attack Luochen, it seems that the matter of Princess Baoqing of Daxuan made Emperor Daxuan crazy, and he directly went to war against the Quan clan without scrupling about the agreement of the year, and I don't know how long the Quan clan can last." What Long Tingfei was most worried about was how long Luo Chen City could last, and it was the most uncomfortable not to hear the news.

Everyone saw that Yu Qingwu's attitude did not want to start a war, and it was very boring, and after chatting a few words, he returned to the camp, and after Yu Qingwu saw everyone away, he looked outside the door and said quietly: "I know you can hear it, tell Yuhou, the news of Luochen City can not be heard again, and the old man will play His Majesty directly." ”

A figure flashed in the dark, but the dead wood in the courtyard trembled slightly, and soon stopped, Yu Qingwu knew that the person was going to report, so he got up and stood up to move his muscles and bones, he was old, he had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and he felt uncomfortable in winter, and this winter was estimated to be difficult to fight, and he felt that it was good to maintain this relationship with Daxuan.

Besides, now the East China Sea and the North Mu are strong, and the idea of invading the Central Plains is well known, and King Yan sent a letter a few days ago to complain, although this King Yan is a member of the royal family of the Quan clan, but he is loyal to the Central Plains, and he also feels that it is inappropriate to start a war with Daxuan at this time.

Yu Qingwu thought that if His Majesty sent him to the north, he would spare no effort whether it was for the "Pseudo-Mausoleum" or for the Beimu, but His Majesty stubbornly believed that "if you go outside, you must first settle inside", and it cannot be said that Your Majesty is wrong, but it is inappropriate for now.

When Yu Qingwu sighed, Huo Youjian was still happy outside the city, and his special combat team had already infiltrated the mall, which was why he dared to swagger outside the mall, and he was not worried about angering Yu Qingwu at all.

Yu Qingwu is one of the top important ministers and famous generals in Daning, Xuan and Ning have not officially turned their faces until now, with his experience in Yu Qingwu, he will definitely not do it to himself without any certainty, so it is okay, it has bought time for Geng Chao and the army that marched into Luochen, and now even if the goal is basically achieved, as for the training of the special combat team, it is a matter of incident.

"Master Hou, Jin Shuai sent someone to ask if he needed support, he has already controlled the Peng clan and its deployment." Huo Youji's personal guards hurriedly entered the account to ask.

Huo Youji cut a piece of sheep's tail oil with a knife and ate it in his mouth, chewed it twice, frowned, this sheep is really not as good as the one sent by the Snow Wolf Army, it is not delicious, sighed and said: "Tell Jin Shuai, no, Kaifeng is more important than ours, don't be too embarrassed Peng, just hand over the person directly to the National Security Yuan, the interrogation is their business," and then paused, and then said: "Let Jin Shuai summon the people from the National Security Yuan, the Criminal Department, the Inner Court, and the Baiyi Temple, and let them discuss how to deal with it." ”

"Uh, Master Hou, why is that? Didn't you say you were going to do it in secret? "The subordinates were a little puzzled by Huo Youji's order.

"Hmph, these four are our Daxuan agencies specializing in intelligence interrogation, confidentiality is their responsibility, if it is leaked, there is no need to pursue others, just ask the four of them, rest assured, after they take over, the confidentiality work is better than ours."

The guards nodded, although they didn't understand it very well, but they also heard that Hou Ye wanted to send the hot potato out, and the military has always had a delicate relationship with these intelligence and interrogation agencies, complementing each other, and looking down on each other.

"Master Hou, many generals want to increase braziers, and the small ones also think that this place is too cold, and it is better for us to live in the south." The guard asked cautiously.

Huo Youji pondered for a moment and said, "Okay! Let the baggage battalion increase the braziers of each battalion, and tell the brothers that they can try to get water from the moat of the mall. ”

The guards are stunned, going to the moat to get water is nothing more than taking chestnuts in the fire, Master Hou is provoking! It really annoyed Ning Jun and forced people to kill him, but he couldn't carry this person for long, and the person stationed in the mall was one of the top generals in Daning, Qingwu.

"Ben Hou is a provocation, as long as they dare to attack us, it is he Daning who caused the rupture of Xuan and Ning, and when the time comes, Daning will lose a city in the mouth of the world, and these generals stationed abroad in Daning will also be jealous." Huo Youji is full of confidence, although Daning is much stronger than Daxuan in terms of strength, but Daning has too many factions and complex personnel composition, taking Yan Wang Quanxi as an example, many times the edicts of Jinling are contrary to the yang and the yin.

The fatigue of patrolling the camp for a day made Long Tingfei feel that his steps were very heavy, Zhong Bai had been waiting in the mansion for a long time, and when he saw Long Tingfei coming back, he hurriedly went up to remove the armor for Long Tingfei, and then said softly: "Lu Qingchen is still waiting in the lobby, and the general is still missing?" ”

Long Tingfei was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't see it!" Tell him that I will stay in the camp today, and let him go back first. ”

Zhong Bai said in embarrassment: "General, the Ling Dynasty is gone, Luo Chen also belongs to Daxuan, the brothers can only rely on the general, Quan Xi Tun soldiers Taiyuan, if you wait until Luo Chen's Xuan army is repaired, the twenty-one counties of the five states in southern Jin will be in danger." ”

Long Tingfei slowly turned his head to look at Zhong Bai, if Zhong Bai had hung his head on weekdays, but today Zhong Bai no longer dodged in the face of Long Tingfei's gaze, this is the true idea of their subordinates, and many people have been bought by Lu Qingchen, if Long Tingfei does not decide again, some people may have to seize power.

Seeing that Zhong Bai didn't dodge, Long Tingfei gradually slowed down and said, "I know what you think, since you said it, let's talk about your heart, you must have already thought about it in private, Xuan or Ning?" ”

Zhong Bai thought for a while, licked his lips, and made up his mind and said: "Most of the people in the army want to belong to Daning, but the officials in various places have a better impression of Daxuan, and most of the people and merchants in various places also prefer Daxuan. ”

Long Tingfei was silent, this was the key issue he hesitated, the reason why the army wanted to belong to Daning was probably because of the death of Princess Daxuan Baoqing and his wife, after all, it was their Jinnan soldiers and horses who entered Kaifeng that day.

It is a pity for Zhou Ce's dead dragon Tingfei, although he is a person from two camps, but he admires Zhou Ce, this Zhou Ce is not arrogant because he is a concubine of Daxuan, whether he treats the sergeant or the enemy in an orderly manner, even if he is defeated in his own hands for more than ten years, he has never treated the prisoners well.

Seeing that Long Tingfei was silent, Zhong Bai continued: "General, my subordinates think that we should belong to Daxuan!" ”

This made Long Tingfei very surprised, he originally thought that this Lu Qingchen would definitely promise something to his subordinates when he bought people's hearts in Jinnan, these things could not make Zhong Bai tempted, it was very unexpected.

"Why Daxuan?" Long Tingfei asked directly.

"General, his subordinates are from a poor family, and it is all up to the general to have today's situation, to be honest, the conditions of Daning Kai are really exciting, the position of a marquis and the governor of Jincheng is really good, but once we are really attached, will this Daning court really reuse us?" Zhong Bai put all his thoughts out.

Zhong Bai is right, although Daning has innovated over the years, the upstarts of the family are still the backbone of Daning, and those of them who have surrendered and come from poor families are estimated to stop there.

Daxuan is different, the reputation of the two courts of Daxuan is outside, and whether it is the important ministers in the court, or the officials and generals in various places, they only talk about their skills, and they never ask about their backgrounds, just take Zhou Ce and Huo Youjian as examples, the two princesses of the two poor families who married Daxuan have long been the talk of the world.

Generals like them could only be attached to the nouveau riche of the family, but in Daxuan it is very different, as long as you have the ability to be admitted to the two academies, whether it is the cultural context or the martial arts, as long as you have the ability, you can learn, and the professors of the two academies will also teach each other.

"Daning's strength is far better than Daxuan, there is no doubt about it, what do you think?" This is another worry of Long Tingfei, although Daxuan has developed rapidly over the years, but the land to which it belongs has just been cultivated, whether it is financial resources or manpower, Daxuan is inferior, if it is a foundation, Daxuan will not last long.

"General, Daxuan has always been steady and steady over the years, when Jiangyou fought in the first battle, the Chu army almost slaughtered the people of the two cities, but what about Daxuan? To repay grievances with virtue, the people of Jiangyou have never been oppressed and slaughtered, and the most important point is that Daxuan has never had a real defeat in every war. ”

Long Tingfei didn't respond, walked to the coffee table and poured two cups of tea, one of which was handed to Zhong Bai, but he didn't drink the tea, just paced back and forth.

After touching half a pillar of incense, Long Tingfei drank the tea that had been cold in the cup and said, "Please Geng Chaofu!" ”

Zhong Bai breathed a sigh of relief, and then hesitated: "General, what about Lu Qingchen?" ”

"Ignore him, tell those who want to take refuge in Daning, if they want to, they can leave with Lu Qingchen, I won't stop them!"
