Chapter 274: The Battle of Luzhou (3)
With the increasing importance of Jiangxia, Jingshan and Jiujiang, the city of Qizhou has gradually lost its former status, but Qizhou still has a prominent position as an important transit point and trade route.
Xuan Song returned to Qizhou to repair after his own great victory, Xuan Song reprimanded everyone to sit alone in the study and worry, worried about the mysterious person who had just been sent away, he never expected Yu Qingwu to send him a letter.
He would never have imagined that Yu Qingwu would one day entrust the Yu clan to him, what did he want to do, didn't he hear that Emperor Daning was going to be unfavorable to him? However, the love in the letter made Xuan Song unable to refuse.
After reading the other letter in his hand, he wanted to open it and take a look, but he didn't dare, this letter was for His Majesty, and now his mind is all messed up, could it be that His Majesty and Yu Qingwu have a private connection?
Yu Qingwu's identity is not a secret, he is His Majesty's old subordinate when he started, and later because of Baoqing's army, Yu Qingwu and Teng Han were dissatisfied, and the two took refuge in Xiao Yu, and everyone knows what happened after that.
Xuan Song shook his head, he didn't think about it, he couldn't figure it out, he called his own soldiers over, and he sent the secret letter to himself, the secret letter to His Majesty, and his promise to Qingwu to form a letter to Changsha.
At the same time, Zuo Qing in the rebel camp in Xianghe looked at the letter from the Donghai people, frowned, and said in his heart: "This Yu Qingwu is really powerful, he is worthy of being a famous general of Daning, and the Donghai people and his own assembly are clearly seen by him, and he appeared in Guhe Town to clearly come for himself." ”
"Hanhai Gong, the East China Sea messenger sent it away." Zuo Qing's deputy general, who is also the current head of the Ming clan in Haizhou, walked in with a swagger.
Zuo Qing saw that Minghui disliked this person from the bottom of his heart, if he hadn't held him hostage to open the city gate that day, he wouldn't have come to this road, he was a dog of the Donghai people, and putting it next to him was completely a surveillance.
Although it is disgusting that this person exists, this is not the time to turn his face with the people of the East China Sea, so he smiled and said: "Wu Guogong has worked hard, but there is something else to do here?" ”
"This Yu Qingwu is in Guhe Town, this is a good opportunity for us, dare to ask Hanhai Gong if there is a good way?" Minghui said arrogantly, for Zuo Qing, he always thought that Zuo Qing would not be able to do this position without him, if he was not good at military affairs, how could he be allowed to sit in this position.
"Wu Guogong, Yu Qingwu is in Guhe Town, that is to say, his main force is also there, you and I used to be former ministers of Daning, Yu Qingwu's ability is not unfamiliar, so I don't plan to send troops for the time being, let's see the situation."
"Hanhai Gong, isn't this appropriate? I just agreed to act together with the Eastern Navy, and I can't explain it to Your Majesty, right? Minghui said unhappily.
The majesty in Minghui's mouth is Quan Lang who is far away in the hidden capital, Zuo Qing is not interested in this majesty, just a puppet, what waves can be turned up under the control of the East China Sea people, he has been thinking about establishing his own kingdom since he took refuge in the East China Sea people, and half of Jiangdong has been subdued by him in the past two years, this time he is willing to send troops to cooperate with the East China Sea people to enter Luzhou in order to be able to control the entire Jiangdong area.
"Wu Guogong, Your Majesty's will is for us to cooperate, not to steal the limelight of the Eastern Navy, Yu Qingwu is the premier general in Daning, if we defeat you, I'm afraid Your Majesty will not have a good time." Zuo Qing didn't care about Minghui's threat.
Minghui didn't know how to respond for a while, so he could only brush his sleeves and leave.
Looking at Minghui's back, Zuo Qingxin said coldly: "Which onion are you even worthy of talking to me, Yu Qingwu's life is going to be decided, let the people of the East China Sea go to Luzhou and Changsun Ji to go desperately, when both sides are defeated, it is when their opportunities come, as long as they sit firmly in Jiangdong, Yingchuan and Luzhou, even the people of the East China Sea must face it." ”
"Come out." Zuo Qing said coldly.
A tall man in black flashed out of the inner room and responded casually: "As long as the general takes the three places, all promises will be fulfilled." ”
"Your lord's identity still can't be told? Do you have to survive in the name of 'Zhu Yan'? The corners of Zuo Qing's mouth rose slightly.
"My family owner just wants to change the pattern of the world, 'Zhu Yan'? Oh, that's just a name, the Lord doesn't care, as for the general to get what you want, why ask? "The man in black is as casual as ever.
Zuo Qing heard the naked threat from this casual tone, the name of "Zhu Yan" is very mysterious in the Central Plains, this organization is mysterious, unpredictable, and rarely appears, but they are present in major events in the Central Plains.
After the man in black left, an invisible pressure in Zuo Qing's heart made him anxious, and he walked straight to the military hall and said loudly: "Let the vanguard army set off secretly, and we must arrive at Guhe Town within five days!" ”
"Ahem, ahem, Qilang, this Yu Qingwu is really interesting, he actually asked for help." Gu Qingfeng lay on the rocking chair and said softly.
"Yu Qingwu is gambling on his life this time, Huaiying also sent a letter back, this Yu Qingwu is so generous, put himself to death in exchange for the result of the decisive battle, for his love for the people of the Central Plains, right." Meng Yan said while decocting medicine for Gu Qingfeng.
"Xuan Song is really loyal to you, and Yu Qingwu will also look for someone to help." Gu Qingfeng slowly got up and walked to Meng Yan's side.
Meng Yan grabbed Gu Qingfeng's hand and said: "Get up and do something, the medicine will be good immediately, loyalty is a two-way thing, I give him enough trust, he gave me such a reward, I don't want them to be loyal to me, I want them to be loyal to this country, loyal to the people who gave birth to them." ”
"Qilang, I understand your thoughts, but not everyone can understand them, learn literature and martial arts well, and sell them to the emperor's family, this is a inheritance since ancient times, so he you can't be too anxious, too forceful, take your time, I believe in you."
Meng Yan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely achieve it, and when the time comes, I will take you to the mountains to live in seclusion, plant fields, and fish, which is very good." ”
Gu Qingfeng's expression flashed a hint of gloom, and then he returned to his original state, and said with a smile: "Okay, when you complete your plan, I will accompany you to live in seclusion, and let them be busy with the affairs of this world." ”
Meng Yan was about to warm up with Gu Qingfeng when he was broken by a milky cry for help.
"Imperial Grandmother! Aunt Allure bullied me and Xiao Nan again! ”
Meng Yan and Gu Qingfeng looked at each other, and then shook their heads, helpless! Princess Allure is already the scourge of the entire Great Xuan Dynasty.
After Yu Qingwu arranged all the military affairs, he dragged his tired body and clothes and lay down, Zuo Qing's vanguard army had already set off, although he was hiding his whereabouts, he definitely couldn't deceive Wen Jun's eyes.
There are only 20,000 people in Guhe Town, and these 20,000 people were specially asked by Yu Qingwu to His Majesty, these people are all prisoners from the territory of Daning, and His Majesty promised them a chance, as long as they achieve this great victory, all crimes can be exempted.
Qingyu thought that he was killing three birds with one stone, but in fact he made five preparations, in addition to what Qingyu guessed, he also sent a letter of help to Xuansong and His Majesty Daxuan, he trusted Xuansong and Emperor Daxuan very much, and if he could get their promise, the Yu clan would not be harmed in any way, and Yu Qingyu would get a stable position for him whether it was in Daxuan or Daning.
Thinking about it, he slowly fell asleep, and suddenly a person came in the big tent, and the footsteps were so light that he couldn't count at all, Yu Qingwu didn't even move, and said, "Wenhou, is there anything wrong with this night?" ”
"Yu Gong, do you really want to do this? You know, Zuo Qing is not so easy to take the bait, and even if he does, he will not use all his strength to attack Guhe Town. Wen Jun said with a bitter face.
"As long as you can hold Zuo Qing's soldiers and horses and move his muscles, Luzhou will have a chance to annihilate the Eastern Navy, as for Zuo Qing, he will meet Qingyu's power." Yu Qingwu said very firmly.
Wen Jun casually found a futon to sit down, he was also very tired, he had been running around these days, sighed and said: "Yu Gong, I believe what you decide, but Qingyu is very young, you pushed Qingyu into this position, can you think of the situation he will face, the generals and ministers in the court will oppose it." ”
"It's okay, if I leave, Teng Han will definitely rely on His Majesty, I think His Majesty will definitely support Qingyu in order to balance Teng Han's power."
"Yu Gong, aren't you afraid that I will report to Your Majesty if you are so close to me?" Wen Jun said with a smile.
"Wenhou won't, I know that Wenhou is a person who understands the overall situation, in fact, I don't want Qingyu to come up like this, but Your Majesty has always had a knot in his heart for Yan Wang Quanxi and Gan Ming, and he refuses to let them go out of the mountain." Yu Qingwu got up with difficulty and walked to the table and took out a jar of wine.
Wen Jun was very surprised, in his memory, Yu Qingwu had always been clean and self-conscious, and never drank alcohol, especially in the army.
"Yu Gong, this is breaking the rules you set yourself."
"The rules of this situation are not so important, just because I rarely drink doesn't mean that I don't like alcohol, Wenhou, do you dare?" Yu Qingwu opened the wine jar, and a strong aroma of wine overflowed throughout the big tent.
"I don't dare to ask for it!" Wen Jun's hearty response.
After the two of them worked three bowls in a row, Yu Qingwu let out a long breath and said, "Wenhou, you can leave after tonight." ”
Wen Jun was not surprised, nodded, and said, "Well, I rushed to Longdong Ridge overnight. ”
"I'm tired, this time I can't stand you, just because I owe Wenhou a favor, let me repay it later."
Wen Jun poured himself a bowl, drank it all and said: "General, I'm not here to help you, you understand that everything I do is for the overall situation and for Daning, so there is no human feeling." ”
After finishing speaking, Wen Jun got up and prepared to leave, Yu Qingwu didn't stop him, but after pouring the wine and drinking it dry, he said, "Wen Hou, please." ”
Xiao Yu, Xiao Han and Xiao Ye in Luochen's palace looked at the geographical map of Luzhou and fell into deep thought, Xiao Yu frowned and said: "Yu Qingwu is right to do this, but is it too dangerous to use himself as bait, and who of you two knows Yu Qingyu's situation?" ”
"Brother Huang, Yu Qingyu's younger brother knows something, he is Yu Qingwu's youngest brother, don't look at General Yu has always been majestic in the army, but he is very fond of his younger brother, but this general's recommendation does make his younger brother have some doubts." Xiao Han bowed and said.
"Ye'er, what about you? You are the same age as Yu Qingyu, how much do you know? ”
"Father, Yu Qingyu rarely intersects with the children of powerful people, but the sons heard that Yu Qingyu's civil and military practice is good, and the others don't know anything."
"That's it, don't think about this, Yu Qingwu may do this because he is too powerful now, in order to make me feel at ease, Xiao Han, pass on the decree, Yu Qingwu has contributed to Sheji, moved to the Duke of Anhui, hereditary replacement, Yin Feng his son Yu Beichen is the son, and his brother Yu Qingyu is the observer of Su Songbo and Huaibei Province."
