"Gone, gone." When Xiao Yu heard the news of Gu Qingfeng's death, he looked out the window and sighed endlessly.

Zhong Roulan is quite contemptuous of Xiao Yutu's sad mentality, but there is one thing she does not deny, there are not many people left in their generation, and time will really make people soft-hearted and easy to recall the past.

The two of them sat quietly like this, and after touching a stick of incense, Xiao Yu got up and moved his muscles and bones shallowly, and said: "Meng Yan wants to personally support the coffin Que Gongshan, what do you think?" ”

"Que Gong Mountain, what a good place!" Zhong Roulan has something to say.

"Is there anything wrong? After signing for two years, Meng Yan moved his parents, Haoyue and daughter to Que Gong Mountain, he is a person who likes to be lively. Xiao Yu asked puzzled.

"The Central Plains in the Que Gong Mountain area and the two Huai are at the cross, the Huai River flows through, the momentum is magnificent and there is no lack of elegance, but when the two armies are in the middle of the battle, he insists on going to Que Gong Mountain in person, I have to doubt his true purpose." Zhong Roulan maintains a very objective emotional analysis.

Xiao Yu shook his head, figuring out people's hearts, suspicious is his personality, but for Meng Yan's current state of mind, he doesn't think he will use Gu Qingfeng's funeral to make a fuss, which is not in line with his usual image.

"I have decided, the war is the war, as long as Meng Yan is not excessive, I will give him time for Que Gongshan and his party." Xiao Yu said lightly, this is the first time he doesn't want to use people to do things, maybe he still treats Meng Yan as a brother.

Zhong Roulan looked at Xiao Yu intently, and after a while, she smiled, nodded and said, "You know?" I can stay here all the time because I believe that you still have a trace of affection, for my feelings for my second brother. ”

Then Zhong Roulan paused, and then said: "Give me 20,000 people and I will watch him for you, Que Gong Mountain reaches Bianliang in the north, Huaiyang in the south, Xuchang in the west, and Yingchuan in the east, these four places are important towns between the Central Plains and the two Huai. ”

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment and said, "Okay, go see him for me, and put incense on the pillar for Gu Qingfeng, there is not much left." ”

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yu left directly, the tearing with Zhong Roulan over the years made him a little tired, not so much that he was forced to stay with Zhong Roulan at the beginning because of the obsession when he was young, but now there is only cooperation between them, pure cooperation of interests.

"By the way, the second brother is going to Que Gong Mountain, who is left behind in Hanyang? Huo Youji or Gu Ning? ”

Xiao Yu, who had already gone out with one foot, turned around and said, "It's neither, it's Lu Ping." ”

Hearing Lu Ping's name, Zhong Roulan fell into deep thought, he didn't understand why it was Lu Ping, Gu Qingfeng's death would definitely cause a fight between the Gu family's disciples and the Meng's royal family, she knew that it would not be Huo Youzhi or Gu Ning, the imprints on their respective bodies were too obvious, Zhong Roulan thought that the person who stayed in Hanyang might be a neutral person like Di Xin, but Lu Ping, this person's reputation is not good, or even very bad, and he is not welcomed in the entire Daxuan group, even the descendants of the Jin family rarely interact with him.

But after thinking about it, Lu Ping is indeed the most suitable person, because everyone doesn't want to see him, whether it is the Gu family or the Meng family, they deliberately keep a distance from him, Meng Yan left him in Hanyang, and brought Gu Yanfeng and Meng Yan to Que Gong Mountain, just enough to maintain a triangular balance in Hanyang.

At the same time, Lu Ping's military command ability is beyond doubt, the battlefield generals, and the commanders of the troops are quite suitable for him, and he is stationed in Hanyang, even Teng Han or Gan Ming dare not easily attack him, it seems that the second brother can still keep a clear head.

This is Zhong Roulan's idea, but Xiao Yu doesn't think so, he thinks that this is the best time to attack Hanyang, although he doesn't plan to stop Meng Yan and the others from Que Gongshan and his party, but he doesn't plan to let go of the return trip, and Hanyang City is even more inevitable.

As long as Hanyang is captured, the momentum of Daxuan will definitely be hit hard, so he doesn't care about Gan Ming and Mingyu's letter, for Xiao Yu, the existence of Xijing is just a symbol, in the northwest he pays more attention to the Western Regions, which is the only business route with the Western Continent, in Meng Huan threatened to take Xijing to comfort Gu Qingfeng Under the bold words of the spirit of the sky, Xiao Yu ordered Gan Ming and Mingyu to attack Qingyang, of course, Xijing's city is strong, and it is no problem to do a good job of defense.

Xiao Yu stood in front of the geographical map of the mountains in the middle of the main hall and thought, Hanyang will definitely be a bloody battle, but it is already in the bag, and now he is beginning to care about the battle situation in the Central Plains, Xiao Ye should move, Nanyang, it's time to make a decision.

"Come, inform King Ning, and prepare for war with Nanyang within a month!"

Xiao Ye immediately asked Liao Renxiang to come over to discuss matters after receiving an order from his father in Luochen Palace, Liao Renxiang really lived up to Chu Cheng's high expectations, and he quickly guessed Xiao Yu's thoughts.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is bound to win Hanyang, Nanyang is the last important town of the Xuan Army in Jiangbei, take Nanyang, and the group of Que Gongshan will have no way to retreat." Liao Renxiang said firmly.

"Renxiang, although my father didn't say it explicitly, we can't help but do it, the king will do the matter of attacking Nanyang, and you will do it by intercepting and killing Que Gongshan and his party." Xiao Ye immediately made a decision.

Liao Renxiang was stunned, he thought that Xiao Ye would let him organize the attack on Nanyang, and go to intercept and kill Que Gongshan by himself, if he succeeded, it would be an immortal achievement, but he never expected that such a heavenly skill Xiao Ye would give it to himself like this, such a bearing is enough to make him loyal, maybe the prime minister is right, the future world is his.

Liao Renxiang knelt on his knees and bowed: "Thank you for your love, the last general will definitely live up to your kindness!" ”

Xiao Ye walked down the steps and helped Liao Renxiang up and said with a smile: "Renxiang, this king is already the king of Ning, and some credit is useless to me, but it is very important for you, understand?" ”

Xiao Ye's pun Liao Renxiang didn't realize it, but it didn't matter, such a great merit in exchange for the heart of a good general was worth it for Xiao Ye, and it also added success to his future path.

The tension of the imminent battle in Nanyang City made the pedestrians look hurried, and there were not many merchants along the street, and Tan Ji and his party marched slowly under the support of many guards.

"Tan Shuai, Your Majesty and the Cardinal have orders for us to take the initiative, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for us to do this, right?" Tan Ji's deputy, Mingyang Hou Rongchu, asked in a low voice.

Tan Ji's face was gloomy, and he didn't answer, just looked at the pedestrians and the gradually depressed streets.

"Marquis Rong, Tan Shuai has fought with the cardinal platform many times, and His Majesty also has a letter there, but the current situation seems that no matter whether we take the initiative or not, Xiao Ye will definitely attack us." Chief of Staff Xia said confidently.

"Xia Xin, is there a letter from Que Gongshan?" Tan Ji asked suddenly.

"Yes, but it's not a letter from Your Majesty, it's a letter from the Lord." Xia Xin is very jealous of Tan Ji, Tan Ji rarely has a smiling face, every day is a bitter gourd face, if it's just like this, it's okay, what is scary is that Tan Ji's methods are very domineering, since he entered Nanyang, almost all of them overturned Shi Zun's practices back then.

"Say what?" Tan Ji asked with a frown.

"What the boss means is to ask Tan Shuai not to quarrel with His Majesty and the cardinal platform anymore, and just follow the established strategy."

Tan Ji snorted coldly, "Execution? It's easy to say, Xiao Ye is not a good person, the northwest is at war, the Que Gong Mountain is in crisis, and Hanyang City is even more in danger, such a strategy is undoubtedly walking on the tip of the knife, if we take the initiative to attack successfully, there will still be a chance to survive, if it fails, Your Majesty, do they still have a chance? ”

Rong Chu was nervous, and whispered comfortingly: "Tan Shuai, please be cautious, it's not right to talk about the center in vain!" ”

The entire Nanyang garrison is not afraid of Tan Ji may only be Rong Chu, Rong Chu is different, he is the first batch of two houses, and he claims to be a protégé of the Son of Heaven, except for His Majesty, even if he was Qing Shuai back then, he had a lot of fear.

"Marquis Rong, here, I'm in charge!" Tan Ji said coldly.

Tan Ji's struggle did not affect Lu Ping in Hanyang City, Lu Ping stood at the head of Hanyang City and looked at the north thoughtfully, the deputy envoy of the cardinal platform and the leader of the Hanyang garrison, it seems to be a high authority, but in fact, he can only command the 80,000 people who are guarding, Zheng Xi, Gu Ning and others not far away do not buy it at all, only Di Xin is still cooperative, but Di Xin is stationed in Gusu, and many things cannot be taken into account at all.

"Where are Zheng Xi and Gu Ning now?" Lu Ping asked.

"Grandpa, Zheng Xi and Gu Ning are now gathered in Songcheng, but the two marquis have written to say that their mission is to reach the army from the land route, and as for the enemy on the water route, we still have to deal with it ourselves."

Lu Ping exhaled heavily and said, "I don't expect it, what about Jiaolong?" ”

"Jiaolong is still gathering, but according to the current situation, Jiaolong is afraid that it will be difficult for Jiaolong to support us, they are blocked by the Daning Water Division on the river."

Such a full-scale offensive seems that the Ning army is bound to Hanyang, Your Majesty They are now going north to Lianghuai in the name of supporting the coffin, and now Hanyang City can be said to be an empty city, only 80,000 defenders in his hands, Your Majesty is really relieved of him.

Since there are no reinforcements, then don't count on it, Lu Ping is not afraid, it is not difficult for him to fight, and he has never flinched from the difficult war, come on, it is a good thing to have such an opportunity at this age.

"Inform the right army, go out of the city with Ben Shuai, and the old man will meet them in Qicheng for a while!" Lu Ping's old man's attitude of talking about the madness of a teenager instantly raised the courage of the surrounding soldiers, and suddenly blood surged.

And at this moment, Xiao Zhan gave up the attack of the large army from the front, and stubbornly followed the sailor's action, his purpose was very clear, that is, Hanyang, he wanted to use Hanyang City to commemorate his dead brother and the dignity he lost one after another, this is what he has dreamed of for many years, he will never give up this opportunity, and he will never miss it.

After the Ning army landed in Qingshi Town, Xiao Zhan looked at the soldiers who were disembarking quickly, and said gloomily: "Speed up!" Don't stop, this king will rest in Qicheng at night! ”
