CHAPTER XLII
Liang Chaoan said: That wind is clear, you have a plan to deal with it.
Gong Renyu shook his head and said: Feng Qingyun is both civil and military, cautious, and has no desires and hobbies, so it is difficult to start. The only weakness is his son Feng Xinghe, but Feng Xinghe is well protected by Feng Qingyun, and it is difficult to deal with it. Skullcap said: Palace generals should have a follow-up move.
Gong Ren said: Please let me explain in detail.
Liang has four masters of cultivation, Liang Chao'an, Shen Yanglie, Fu Qingsilk, and Hua Manyuan.
Hua Manyuan is the father of the Empress of Liangguo, the pillar of the court, and is known as the generalissimo of Zhenshan.
Fu Qingsilk was born recklessly, and because of his unruliness, he was not reused by King Liang. Gong Renyu asked King Liang for instructions and asked Fu Qingsilk to come to help.
Miyahito's plan is to be three-on-two. Marshal Liang killed Yuan Hong, Shen Yang Lie and Fu Qingsilk worked together to kill Feng Qingyun, and Situ Changkong, who was more powerful than Yuan Hong, was restrained by Chanai. As soon as Feng Qingyun dies, our army can capture the entire Yu country.
At this time, Shen Yanglie took advantage of the attack of Xiao Shanhe's blood-devouring curse to kill Xiao Shanhe, seriously injured Duan Ying, and defeated Xiao Shanhe's 100,000 troops. Duan Ying dragged his seriously injured body and fled back to the capital with 20,000 remnants. The battle suffered heavy casualties, and 80,000 Yu soldiers were killed in battle. When the news was transmitted back to the capital, the DPRK and China were shaken, and everyone was in danger for a while, feeling that the sky was about to change.
Shenyang Lie reorganized the soldiers and horses, killed 30,000 horses in this battle, and left 70,000 soldiers and horses. According to the plan, he led 70,000 soldiers and horses to Gusu City to meet Liang Chao'an.
When Feng Qingyun led 60,000 horses to Gusu City, Yuan Hong knelt down and pleaded guilty, and handed over his 20,000 soldiers and horses.
Feng Qingyun helped Yuan Hong up, saying that victory and defeat are common things in soldiers. After all, now is the time to employ people, and disposing of Yuan Hong is tantamount to cutting off his arm.
In front of people, Feng Qingyun saved face for Yuan Hong. When there was no one around, Feng Qingyun put on the majesty of the master and said: "Disciple, you know your mistake."
Yuan Hong knelt down on one knee and said, "If you know your mistakes, please punish your teacher."
Feng Qingyun said: What's wrong.
Yuan Hong said: It is not good for the vain to use the soldiers, and he has suffered defeats, and the soldiers have suffered serious losses and lost several cities.
Feng Qingyun said: You are wrong to be arbitrary, the Witch King is not credible, how can you work together, you should work with Situ Changkong to kill him, and then recruit the Wu soldiers. Situ Changkong is both civil and military, but you have many concerns and refuse to reuse him. If you are decisive and reuse Situ Changkong, how can you be defeated here.
Yuan Hong bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
After Feng Qingyun reprimanded Yuan Hong, he no longer punished him. Feng Qingyun watched Yuan Hong grow up, how could he not understand him. Xiuzhen is extremely talented, but his literature is mediocre, his personality is weak, and he acts forward-looking, so he is not suitable to be the commander of an army.
Feng Qingyun now has only 80,000 soldiers and horses. The two roads of Liangguo met with soldiers and horses, with a total of 170,000 soldiers. Fortunately, Feng Qingyun is good at using his soldiers, and he can also resist the attack of the Liang army.
In the capital, Emperor Jingwu has not closed his eyes for three days, dealing with various urgent affairs of the court and government, and today he summoned his ministers to discuss the affairs of Gusu City.
Qin Dazai said: Xiaoshanhe and Yuanhong were defeated, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and 50,000 soldiers and horses in Azure City were destroyed by the Witch King, leaving only 70,000 soldiers and horses in the capital, and there were no soldiers and horses to mobilize to support Gusu City.
Liu Shangshu said: 80,000 soldiers and horses against 170,000 soldiers and horses, even if the wind and clouds are capable, it is difficult to win.
Qin Dazai said: You can't transfer the 70,000 defenders of the capital to support, and the capital can't be lost.
Liu Shangshu said: Duan Ying didn't bring back 20,000 soldiers and horses.
Qin Dazai said: Those are mostly wounded soldiers and remnants.
Emperor Jingwu looked at Prime Minister Liu and said: Prime Minister has a good plan.
Prime Minister Liu Cheng said: Although there is a huge difference in troops, with the ability of the wind and clouds, it will be defeated in the end. Even if it is defeated, the Yu Kingdom will not be destroyed.
Emperor Jingwu, Qin Dazai, and Liu Shangshu comprehended.
Later, Emperor Jingwu sent some soldiers from various cities to support Gusu City, with a total of 20,000 soldiers.
The war was tense outside, and Lin Xiaoyue took her little apprentice An An to practice, and spoke softly to An An like a mother, not like a strict teacher at all. An An was also emboldened by Lin Xiaoyue's pampering, not only did her words and deeds be casual, but she also often hugged Lin Xiaoyue and coquettish.
Seeing this, Chongming thought that Lin Xiaoyue was going to spoil An An as the second jade barnacle.
Lin Xiaoyue was eating roast oil meat with Chongming, An An rolled into Lin Xiaoyue's arms to eat, Lin Xiaoyue gave the roast oil meat to An An to eat.
Chongming said: An An, you are so rude at home.
An An said: When my mother is here, I am free, my father is by my side, and I have to obey the law in every word and deed, otherwise my father will whip my palms with a ruler, and I will be with my master, just like with my mother.
Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile: An An's mouth is so sweet.
Chongming said: Don't spoil him.
Lin Xiaoyue said: An An is very well-behaved and obedient, and she is already very good.
Chongming is helpless, who calls Lin Xiaoyue likes children. Sharks are not able to produce offspring if they intermarry with the Terrans. Lin Xiaoyue must be a pity to be with him.
At this time, Jade Barnacle came to Lin Xiaoyue with cabbage. After the jade barnacle saw the roasted oily meat, she first grabbed a few pieces to eat, and then threw herself into Lin Xiaoyue's arms, saying that she missed her master.
Lin Xiao said Yue: Xiaoju, what happened.
The jade barnacle told Lin Xiaoyue that the witch king sent someone to deliver a message to the Yuzhijiang. said that he had revoked the order to hunt and kill the jade barnacle, and also executed Tang Xia Hui, and wanted to take Yu Zhijiang and the jade barnacle to live in Azure City together, and he was a relative whose blood was thicker than water, hoping that the past grudges would be erased. Yu Zhijiang said that they were relatives, and they no longer cared about the past grievances, but now they just want to establish a paradise without war on Penglai Island.
Lin Xiaoyue said: The witch king said why he gave you a hunt and kill order.
Jade Barnacle said: Uncle said that King Liang forced him to do this, as for the reason, he didn't know.
Lin Xiaoyue saw the cabbage standing beside her.
Lin Xiaoyue said: Xiaoju, you brought the cabbage.
The jade barnacle said, "She wants me to bring her to you."
Lin Xiaoyue said: Cabbage, you want to see me.
Cabbage nodded. Cabbage lives very well on Penglai Island, Yuzhijiang takes care of her as half a daughter, and there are people to take care of food, clothing, housing and transportation, although it is not as good as Jade Barnacle, but she also lives like a big lady. However, the cabbage beside Yuzhijiang did not feel the warmth of Lin Xiaoyue's body. Cabbage grew up in a loveless and unvalued family, and did not understand feelings, warmth and love. is honest and indifferent in character, and he used to live in Lin Xiaoyue's house, and he didn't know how to interact with the people around him and how to manage his relationship with the people around him. Now, the cabbage misses Lin Xiaoyue a little, and when he saw the jade barnacle coming to Lin Xiaoyue, he also followed.
At this time, An An came to the jade barnacle to salute and said: Hello senior sister, my surname is Chen Ming'an, and I am your junior brother.
The jade barnacle looked at Chen An's dough-like little face, and felt that this little baby, Shizun would definitely like it, and he would take away Shizun's favor for him.
The jade barnacle said unhappily: Shizun accepted a new apprentice, and he didn't say a word to me.
Lin Xiaoyue said: Xiaoju is jealous, An An is very sensible, you will like it in the future.
The jade barnacle was even more unhappy, and pouted: Shizun thinks that the little pot is ignorant.
Lin Xiaoyue felt a pain in her brain, knowing that the jade barnacle was unreasonable, she was afraid that An An would snatch her favor. Lin Xiaoyue was relieved: Xiaoju, even if you have An An, the master loves you just as much.
Jade Barnacle said: Really?
Lin Xiaoyue said: Xiaoju, your room, the master didn't move for you to keep, and bought a few new pillows for you to use, you go and take a look.
As soon as the jade barnacle's eyes lit up, he went to the room to see the new pillow.
An An noticed that something was wrong, so he asked timidly: It was An An who made Senior Sister unhappy.
Lin Xiaoyue touched An An's little head and said: An An is so good, who would not like it, Senior Sister Yu just doesn't understand An An, An An accompanies Senior Sister Yu more, Senior Sister Yu naturally likes you.
An An nodded and said, "I understand."
After saying that, I went to play with the jade barnacles.
The cabbage stayed by Lin Xiaoyue's side and played alone on the lawn. Cabbage is indifferent and will not compete for favor, but only feels comfortable staying in Lin Xiaoyue. Cabbage is very honest and obedient, but often lives himself invisible. Because as long as Cabbage has spoken and failed to do good deeds since she was a child, her tricky mother will scold her. So she tried not to attract her mother's attention so as not to be punished by her. After a long time, the cabbage became invisible. When facing Lin Xiaoyue, although he liked to stay with her, he didn't attract her attention and stayed by her side quietly.
Lin Xiaoyue knows that a person who grows up in a loveless environment is either indifferent than ordinary people, or needs affection more than ordinary people. Or apathy appears in a person at the same time as a strong emotional need. In this case of cabbage, she can only take her time and let her gradually accept the people and feelings around her. Cabbage will not take the initiative to contact people, Lin Xiaoyue took Cabbage to ride a donkey to shop on the street, asked Cabbage what she liked, as long as she liked it, she would buy it. But cabbage has little interest in all kinds of things on the street.
Lin Xiaoyue bought some dolls, jewelry and other things that girls like to give to the cabbage, and the cabbage carefully collected the jewelry and dolls, but did not use them.
In the next few days, An An followed the jade barnacles every day, and the jade barnacles were very annoying at first. But An An is well-behaved and clever, and the heart of the jade barnacle is sprouted under the soft grinding and hard soaking. The jade barnacle is pure and kind, An An is cute, and slowly likes the dough-like An An.
Today, Chongming took An An and cabbage out to play, and Lin Xiaoyue pulled the jade barnacle into the courtyard and asked the jade barnacle what was on his mind.
The jade barnacle said: Uncle proposed to my father and wanted to be engaged to me by Bigu Jian.
Lin Xiaoyue said: The Witch King wants you to marry Bigu Jian, and your father agreed.
Jade Barnacle said: Father said to think about it.
Jade Barnacle bowed her head depressedly.
Lin Xiaoyue asked: Xiaoju, how old are you now, how old are you than Gu Jian.
The jade barnacle said: I will be seventeen years old on my birthday next month, and I will be eighteen years old in three months after Gu Jian.
Lin Xiaoyue was embarrassed, this age is still a minor on earth, and she has not yet reached the legal age. But in this world, it is already marriageable age.
Lin Xiaoyue said: Your father doesn't like the ancient sword, why do you have to think about it.
Jade Barnacle said: My father said that the situation is unclear now, the war is still unsettled, and he is afraid that it will be dangerous for me to marry in the past.
Lin Xiaoyue said: What are you depressed about that little pot, you also care about Bigu Sword, why are you unhappy about marrying him.
Jade Barnacle said depressedly: I don't know, if I marry Bigu Jian, I have to leave my father to live in Bigu Jian's house, and I am sad and uneasy. If my father didn't let me marry Bigu Jian, I would feel as sad as if I had broken a hole.
Lin Xiaoyue said: Xiaoju, you will have such a mood because you can't adapt to the role change.
Jade Barnacle blinked her round eyes and said curiously: Master, what is role reversal.
Lin Xiaoyue said: Xiaoju, I'll talk to you slowly, and you listen patiently.
The jade barnacle said, "Okay, Master, I'll be patient."
