"Meng Yan has suffered a lot of losses this time." Xiao Yu said to Zhong Roulan opposite while drinking tea.

Zhong Roulan snorted coldly and said coldly, "Your goal has been achieved, has it?" ”

Xiao Yu's face suddenly changed suddenly, as if he had been explored into the deepest secret in his heart, and said angrily: "Don't talk cool here, the rebellion of the Taixi people is not what I want!" ”

"What did I say? Does the Tessie mutiny have anything to do with you? Oh, that's amazing! Your Majesty's means are powerful! Zhong Roulan sneered.

"Okay, I know you doubt me, but I'll tell you that I didn't get involved in the affairs of the southwest, and you don't have to be weird here!"

"Humph! Originally, I didn't want to say anything, but you're still covering it up, okay! Then I'll talk about it, the relationship between the Taixi people and Daxuan was originally very good, and suddenly someone with a large amount of silver money destroyed the connection between the Taixi people and Chengdu, cutting off the business road, this person is a brocade unicorn, you don't have to deny it, this money is from Bihai City, you don't forget that Bihai City is our Zhong family's place! Zhong Roulan slapped the table and said loudly.

Xiao Yu also got up and glared at Zhong Roulan suddenly, didn't say a word for a long time, and only squeezed out after a while to say: "At that time, I just wanted to win over the Taixi people to block Chengdu, so that Meng Yan would know who was the master of the Central Plains!" Am I at fault? ”

"You're so shameless! Did you win over the Tessie, did you succeed? If you don't succeed, why don't you continue, if you really succeed in winning over, I'm willing to look down on you, but how did you do it, after the East China Sea people invaded the southwest of the Central Plains, you were decisive, and immediately cut off contact with Taixi, you tell me, what are you thinking?! ”

Xiao Yu was poked in the sore spot, and he waved his sleeves and left a sentence: "Women are difficult to raise!" And he walked away.

Zhong Roulan looked coldly at Xiao Yu's escape-like back, and a thought suddenly flashed in her mind, maybe the second sister is right, from the current point of view, only Meng Yan can inherit Xiao Huli's will.

Since the second sister retired to South Vietnam, after so many years of precipitation, she has let go of the things of the year, and after the death of the little emperor, she did not set up another emperor, and called herself Xiao Huli's widow to the outside world.

Meng Yan has also been in constant correspondence with her over the years, she knows the national policy of the Great Xuan Dynasty and the people's peace and contentment, so the second sister has a high evaluation of Meng Yan, thinking that only Meng Yan can inherit Xiao Huli's legacy of unifying the Central Plains in the Central Plains, and only Meng Yan can really let the people live the life they yearn for.

But she can't cooperate with Meng Yan, the position in her heart is what she wants, if she learns Meng Yan, the imperial power is certain, this is unacceptable to her, she can only rely on Xiao Yu now, even if she is more and more disappointed in Xiao Yu and looks down on her more and more, she can only commit to this.

Autumn winds sweep away the leaves for the southwest, after the rainy season, the southwest woods are more dense and lush, especially on the road near the Great Wilderness Mountain, towering trees can be seen everywhere.

Gu Ning has been marching slowly since he entered the southwest territory, he is like this on purpose, he is too tired to run all the way, which is not conducive to the future big war, and at the same time, the soldiers of the Southern Bureau must slowly adapt to the climate of the southwest.

There are many mountains in the southwest plateau, and after autumn, the day is like summer, which is no different from the south, but at night it is very different, the southwest side can freeze to death, and the snow has begun to fall in the high mountains, this ghost weather, really damn it.

When the slow march reached the seventh day, the person who Zheng Xi responded to had already arrived, and the person who came was none other than Shang Feng, the logistics commander of the Southwest Bureau, and he hadn't seen each other for nearly four months.

"General Staff Gu, I'm finally looking forward to you!" Shang Feng sighed.

"Commander Shang, I'm ashamed!" Gu Ning was actually a little afraid of entering the southwest, he was not afraid of death, but afraid of facing those dead souls.

"It's all over, it's time for us to take revenge, the army of the Northwest Bureau has arrived in Yongchang, and Mr. Zheng has taken people to Nan'an City."

"What?! Mr. Zheng went to Nan'an City? Gu Ning was a little stunned, and said that the army would be together, and now he Zheng Xi led the troops to Nan'an City alone.

"Your Majesty has a will, Mr. Zheng and Mr. Du will lead 50,000 troops to Nan'an City to intercept Zhu Mu's and Taixi people, you will lead troops to attack the Donghai people outside the city of Nan, and the king of Nanzheng County will lead 30,000 troops to respond to the two of you." Shang Feng whispered.

"Your Majesty's will?" Gu Ning couldn't believe it, he hadn't received any orders along the way.

"Yes, I just arrived this morning, and the angel is still in Yongchang City, and the person who came is Lord Fang Keming Fang, the Great Education Order."

Gu Ning smiled, it seems that this is indeed His Majesty's will, and he also understands His Majesty's deep meaning, the contradiction between him and Zheng Xi is difficult to resolve for a while, not because the two of them can't solve it, but because it is mixed with the souls of 80,000 brothers.

Gu Ning is satisfied with this arrangement, outside the city of Yinan is where the Donghai people are stationed, as long as the Donghai people are destroyed in Yinan, their loose coalition army will be vulnerable, because he has confidence in Zheng Xi, and the Taixi people and Zhu Mushi cannot be Zheng Xi's opponents.

"Okay, in that case, I'll officially take over the military order!"

Ten days later, Gu Ning's army stopped when it reached Yiwu Town, north of Yinan, and then Gu Ning quickly sent people into Nancheng City.

At night, when the lights were in charge, the deputy commander stationed in Yinan City arrived at Gu Ning's camp, and Gu Ning didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "From tomorrow onwards, in the name of my Gu Ning, I will continue to harass the people of the East China Sea, and I must let them attack Nancheng City!" ”

"General Staff Gu, why is this? It is not easy for us to hold on to the south of the city, even if the army arrives, we can't harass the people of the East China Sea like this, if they attack the city of Nan on a large scale, they won't be able to hold out for a few days. ”

"Did I tell you to hold on? I just let you out of town to harass, don't understand? ”

The deputy commander shook his head and said puzzledly: "General Staff Gu, your subordinates are stupid, please make it clear!" ”

This is a rammer, unreasonable, Gu Ning doesn't have so much effort to explain to him now, he gave Lan Xiao a look, and then said: "I have no obligation to tell you about military strategy, if there is anything you don't understand, ask General Lan!" ”

After finishing speaking, Gu Ning ignored the deputy commander, and began to study the geographical map of mountains and rivers, and wrote something on the paper.

Lan Xiao pulled the deputy commander out of the big tent, found a bonfire, drove away the sergeant who was roasting the fire, and then said with a smile: "Your surname is the commander?" ”

"General Lan's words are serious, the last general Fu Cang, Xi is the deputy commander of Yongchang, and the general of Yuan Jingshuai."

This is self-reporting, it seems that Zheng Xi did not reuse him, he was the deputy commander when Jing Yi was in charge of the southwest military affairs, and now the army is still a deputy commander who is still a deputy commander who does not intend to reuse him, which is also normal, Jing Yi's failure is a manifestation of incompetence in Zheng Xi's eyes.

"Commander Fu, General Staff Gu means that he intends to use Nancheng as bait, let the people of the East China Sea do their best, and take them down in Nancheng in one fell swoop."

Fu Cang immediately went berserk and said hurriedly: "Did General Staff Gu not take care of the soldiers, horses and people of Nancheng City?!" ”

Lan Xiao grabbed him and reassured: "You sit down first, I'll tell you slowly, don't worry!" ”

Fu Cang sat down angrily, he was very skeptical of this order.

"Old Fu, General Staff Gu asked you to bring people to harass the people of the East China Sea under his banner, one is to attract the attention of the people of the East China Sea and tell the people of the East China Sea that he is back, and the other is to gain time to let the people of Nancheng move out, leaving the people of the East China Sea an empty city."

After hearing this, Fu Cang thought for a moment and said, "General Staff Gu wants to trap the people of the East China Sea? And then encircled and annihilated? ”

"That's right, so your task now is to organize the evacuation of the people, and then secretly destroy the city defense of the city of Nancheng, as long as the people of the East China Sea enter the city of Nancheng, we will have the opportunity to wipe them all out and avenge the brothers of the Great Barren Mountain, of course, there will be no more wars in the southwest after this war."

Fu Cang generally understood Gu Ning's methods, but he was always a little reluctant, he had been stationed in Nanan City for many years, and the city defense facilities were his hard work, and Du Jun also praised him for his city defense in Nanan when he sent troops from Nanan two months ago, and it was always a pity to give up now.

Lan Xiao seemed to see his reluctance, and said: "Old man, I can't bear to let the child catch the wolf, as long as the people are safe, we can rebuild it in the future, understand?" ”

Fu Cang closed his eyes and slowed down for a while and said: "For the safety of the people in the southwest, a Nancheng City, abandon it, I will go back to arrange and then send troops to harass the people of the East China Sea, please General Lan to tell General Staff Gu that he will definitely complete the task to the letter, and he will desperately attract the people of the East China Sea!" ”

Lan Xiao smiled, then grabbed Fu Cang's arm and said, "General Staff Gu has already asked for the emperor's order for you, and the paperwork should also arrive in these two days, promote you to the governor of the three counties of Yongchang, and take 10,000 soldiers and horses when you leave in a while." ”

Fu Cang was stunned, he remembered that it seemed that Gu Ning didn't know him, and looked at Lan Xiao suspiciously, he thought Lan Xiao was joking.

"Although General Staff Gu doesn't know you, he knows your hard work and merits, the people of the East China Sea are eyeing and harassing Nannan, but your brother has always insisted on doing a good job, so General Manager Gu decided this matter when he saw that he was still in command!"

Fu Cang suddenly realized, and arched his hand: "Please General Lan thank General Gu for your behalf!" ”

Lan Xiao watched Fu Cang leave with the troops before returning to Gu Ning's big tent, Gu Ning saw that it was Lan Xiao and said, "Old Lan come here, I plan to use the troops like this, you come and take a look." ”

Lan Xiao walked to Gu Ning's side, looked at the decorations on the geographical map of mountains and rivers, looked at it for a while before he stretched his brows, and exclaimed, "Wonderful! General Staff Gu, if Fu Cang's side can do it, we can even cut off the back road of the people of the East China Sea! ”

"So what? Do you think it's feasible? Gu Ning said with a smile.

"Feasible! I talked to Fu Cang just now, he is a tough person, he will definitely spare no effort to do it when you give a military order, there is no problem in luring most of the people in the East China Sea, Lan Xiao please go to Weiyang Town! ”

"You take it easy, don't get carried away by revenge, you give me a cautious march along the way, and you can't miss a trace!" Gu Ning reminded.

Lan Xiao took a deep breath and said: "General Staff, I really want to avenge the brothers of the Great Wilderness Mountain for the acting general, but I am not dizzy, I know the importance of my troops and horses, Weiyang Town is the back of the Donghai people, and it is also where the food and grass of the Donghai people are located, you can rest assured, you will not return!" ”

Gu Ning let out a long breath and said, "Before leaving, the General Administration of Literature and Literature will give you five days to prepare, and be sure to burn Weiyang Town after besieging the Donghai people!" ”

"Hey, hey! General Staff, what if the people of the East China Sea or the Taixi do not surrender? Lan Xiao asked suddenly.

Gu Ning's eyes suddenly became deep, and he said in a quiet voice: "Betrayer, intruder, there is only one end for me, and that is death!" ”
