In fact, there were no words and sentences in Wang Chulong's secret letter, she just repeated Lu Shen's thoughts in detail, and hoped that the elders in the family could cooperate.

However, the two middle-aged men in the hall watched her grow up and knew her temperament.

They could judge from the words in the letter that a large part of Wang Chulong's mind was now on Lu Shen's body.

It has only been half a year since she went to Huaizhou in Southern Qi.

As her biological father, Wang Cheng naturally understands his daughter better, and he is more and more curious and puzzled in his heart, with that child's introverted and quiet, clumsy and foolish nature, why is he biased towards Lu Shen in such a short period of time? Could it be that the young Southern Qi military general is still a playboy who is good at deceiving women?

"Brother, in fact, you misunderstood Chu Long."

Looking at Wang Cheng's strange face, Wang An quickly came back to his senses and calmly persuaded him.

Wang Cheng frowned slightly and said, "Misunderstanding? ”

Wang An bowed his head and said: "She lives in the Lu Mansion in Lai'an City, although Lu Shen treats her politely, but it is not in accordance with the rules of etiquette after all. In other words, from the day she moved in, she was already a member of the Lu family, and she should consider the problem from Lu Shen's point of view. ”

Wang Cheng was stunned, he pondered Wang An's words carefully, and said with a complicated expression: "The theory is true, but I have some bad feelings in my heart. ”

Wang Chulong went south alone, her mother wept and sent her off, Wang Cheng wanted to pretend to be light and calm on his face, but it was difficult to give up in his heart, after all, this was his most beloved eldest daughter, and she was far better and filial than other children.

It's just that it involves the family business of Zhai Lin Wang, and he has to hide that pity deep in his heart.

Wang An understood his feelings, and gently comforted: "Brother, it can be seen from this letter that Chu Long and Lu Shen get along well, otherwise she will not show partiality, you should know her temperament." From this point of view, we did not make a mistake in this move, whether it was against the Wang family or Chu Long himself. ”

At this point, Wang Cheng knows that there is no point in sighing, and Wang An's words also have some truth, as long as Wang Chulong and Lu Shen can get along well, this is a happy cooperation.

They have received the will of the Emperor of Southern Qi, as long as the Zhai Lin Wang clan and the Southern Qi border army work together, the grievances and entanglements of the year will be written off, and at the same time, from the two brothers to the later generations of the Wang family have been arranged, and the most important point is that Li Duan agreed to the marriage of Lu Shen and Wang Chulong.

Thinking of this section, Wang Cheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "To tell you the truth, I have been very worried about Chulong's child for the past six months, and now it seems that I am worried in vain." What makes me even more unexpected is what Lu Shen can do on the battlefield, presumably after this battle, he should be able to lead an army alone? ”

The results of the Battle of Razor had already spread throughout Heluo City, and they were worried in front of outsiders, but in fact they were both happy and shocked in their hearts.

The myth of the invincibility of the Jing army was shattered, and Lu Shen's status was bound to rise, which was obviously a good thing for the Wang family, because the future of that young man would be directly related to the future interests of the Zhai Lin Wang family.

Wang An groaned: "I'm afraid it's more than that, after the Huaizhou army recovers Dongyang Road, the center in the south will definitely set up a new governor's mansion, in my opinion, Lu Shen is very likely to break away from Xiao Wangzhi's wings and really have his own side of the force." ”

"The new Grand Governor? It's unlikely, right? ”

Of course, Wang Cheng hoped that Lu Shen could soar into the sky, but considering the other party's age and qualifications, no matter how great his merits were, it was impossible to be directly promoted to the governor of a prefecture.

Wang An smiled and said, "That's not it, but the deputy governor is very promising." ”

"It's better to slow down, it's easy to go wrong if it's too fast." Wang Cheng said meaningfully, and then looked at his own brother and said, "In other words, you are going to do what is in this letter?" ”

Wang An said slowly: "After the fall of Pingli City, our Wang family has no right to regret it. ”

At the critical moment of the Battle of Razor, the Ruishi Battalion and the Feiyu Battalion were successively inserted into the battlefield from the flanks, and the root cause was the loss of Pingli City in the southwest of the Razor Plain, which caught the main force of the Jing Army by surprise.

This city should not have changed hands, but because of a series of wrong decisions by the defender Wei Wanxi, the city defense was lost, which affected the outcome of the subsequent battle. Wei Wan was so frightened that he ran to Yongqiu City on Moyang Road to seek protection from Niu Cunjie and Zhu Zhen, but he didn't dare to go back to Heluo at all.

The reason why he behaved so stupidly was because he had received Wang An's order and Wang Chulong's secret letter in advance, and he had to create an opportunity for Lu Shen to advance all the way.

After Wei Wanxi handed over Pingli City, the Wang family could only stand on Lu Shen's ship, and there was no chance to get off the ship.

Wang Cheng's gaze fell on the stack of letterheads again, and he said in a deep voice: "I remember that you said before that Your Majesty is indignant and depressed, and something will happen sooner or later. If he could use it well, he could indeed make such an impulsive decision, but ...... It is easy to stimulate His Majesty, but it is difficult for our Wang family to stay out of the matter. ”

Lu Shen's plan is not complicated, it is nothing more than to provoke the anger in the heart of Emperor Yan Zhang Can, and then create a bloody case in the palace, thus causing a devastating blow to the upper echelons of the Yan Kingdom, which is enough to shake the Northern Yan Kingdom.

The problem is that Wang An, as the prime minister of Yan State, cannot excuse himself when the Son of Heaven gathers his ministers.

Even if he could confirm when the Son of Heaven was going to make a move, and deliberately found an excuse not to go to the palace, he might be suspected by the magnates of the Jing Dynasty afterwards.

There are many smart people in this world, and an accident may not explain anything, but if there are more accidents, it will become inevitable in the eyes of some people.

At that time, their suspicious eyes will definitely be on the Wang family.

This is the question that the king has on his mind.

Wang An smiled faintly, got up and put the stack of letter paper into the brazier, watched it burn to ashes, and then said unhurriedly: "Chu Long's daughter is so young, she has the courage to go to danger alone for our Wang family, I am her own uncle, and I am the head of the Wang family, I can't be more cowardly than her." ”

"You mean ......"

Wang Cheng couldn't help but stand up.

Wang An said calmly: "Brother, don't worry, I'll arrange this matter." I will not deliberately seek death, and if Your Majesty really intends to do so, I will do my best to be prepared. However, if I have an accident, my brother will take care of the rest of the family. ”

Wang Cheng looked at the resolute look on his face, his lips moved for a moment, and finally he could only sigh: "Okay, don't worry." ”

A few pieces of letter paper were burned to ashes, Wang An picked up the celadon bowl on the small table and took a sip of tea, and said quietly: "It would be better if I could deceive the brother and sister of the Qingyu family." ”

……

Zhuo Garden, in the warm flower hall, the Qingyu brothers and sisters sit next to each other.

Mou Lianghu, who was full of meat, sat opposite, and his tone was gloomy: "Now that the Qi army is strong, it is best for the little prince to avoid the edge for the time being, and not to fight the enemy head-on." In the battle of Lei Ze, the last general has an unshirkable responsibility, but he has to manage this cavalry for the prince for the time being. When the war is over in the future, he will personally go north to ask the prince for his guilt. ”

Qing Yuzhong's eyes swept over his sister next to him, and then said warmly: "The general's words are serious, my father specially told me when I went south, Lei Ze's defeat is not the responsibility of the general alone, he hopes that you can atone for your sins in the next battle." ”

"The last general, thank you for your forgiveness!"

Mou Lianghu raised his hand to the north and saluted, and then asked: "Now that the main force of the Huaizhou army is besieging Ruyin, Lu Shen is taking the Ruishi battalion and the Lai'an army to enter Qingliu Pass, I don't know what the little prince thinks?" ”

"During this time, I have carefully studied the tactical use of Lu Shen and Xiao Wangzhi in the past two years, and found a very distinctive feature, but I am not sure whether this is a conspiracy between the two or Lu Shen alone."

Qing Yu Zhongwang's expression was calm, and he said unhurriedly: "The Huaizhou army has won consecutive battles in the past two years, on the one hand, Xiao Wangzhi has trained his troops well, and on the other hand, they like to take advantage of the situation very much, and they are in the ever-changing battle situation step by step, and they have been crocheting traps from the beginning. For example, in the Battle of Qingxia last year, Xiao Wangzhi let Guangling City in the rear fall into danger, and lured the Yan army to a decisive battle by sending the main force south, thus achieving a big victory. ”

Mou Lianghu bowed his head again and again: "What the little prince said is extremely true. ”

Qing Yu Zhongwang continued: "Another example is the battle of Jiangbei last year, Xiao Wangzhi feinted to attack Qingtian City and Yongquan Pass, and when Chen Jingtang transferred all his reserve forces to Dongyang Road, he turned into Moyang Road with a thunderous momentum, and cooperated with Li Tianrun to capture nearly half of the territory. Even in the recent Battle of Razor, the other side took advantage of our army's intention to fight a decisive battle in the field, and completed the final encirclement by adding oil. From these examples, it can be seen that Lu Shen and Xiao Wangzhi like to dig pits for our army very much. ”

Qingyu Huaijin, who was sitting next to him, groaned: "Brother is saying that this time Lu Shen appeared on the periphery of Qingliu Pass with nearly 20,000 people, and he also wanted to lure us into being fooled?" ”

Qing Yu Zhongwang smiled and said, "After all, he has a plan, otherwise what's the point of taking a large army to the west for a walk?" As for why he did this, I guess there are two reasons. The first is to put on a posture to coerce our army, so that the main force under the command of Xiao Wangzhi can attack Ruyin City without interference. Second...... He wanted to see if I would send troops to support Qingliu Pass. ”

Mou Lianghu's thick eyebrows tightened, and after a while, he said in disbelief: "Could it be that Lu Shen is fighting the idea of Heluo City?" ”

Qing Yu Zhongwang shook his head and said, "It's not that simple, I have a hunch that I will fall into his trap no matter whether I send troops or not." ”

The other two looked puzzled.

Qing Yuzhong got up and came to the window, took off his brush and drew a sketch casually, and then said to them: "If I don't move and only care about the safety of Heluo City, what do you think will happen next?" Li Shouzhen can't count on it, he can create some trouble for Xiao Wangzhi at most, and at that time, Lu Shen can calmly move forward, Qingliu Pass, Tengxian County, Dingjun Pass, Anqiu City, all the way west from Dongyang Road, and gradually encroach on the territory under our control. ”

"But where did the Huaizhou army get so many troops?" Mou Lianghu asked suspiciously.

Qing Yu Zhongwang chuckled and said: "Huaizhou Ninth Army, only half of the current battle has been put into the battlefield, do you guess why Xiao Wangzhi didn't go all out?" Now that he has taken half of the territory of Dongyang Road, Huaizhou behind him does not need to be garrisoned, why did he let the Taixing army retreat south? Does he have to guard against a mysterious enemy from the sea? ”

He paused slightly, and then said: "Let me ask you again, where are the two armies under the Huaizhou Governor's Mansion on the west side of Shuangfeng Mountain, that is, the Xunyang Army and the Jianghua Army newly established in Southern Qi?" According to Niu Cunjie's report, these two new forces have never appeared on the battlefield, and his enemies are all elites under Li Tianrun's command. Don't forget, there are several unobstructed trails in the Twin Peaks Mountains, and these two armies don't need to break through the defense line of Moyang Road, they can enter Huaizhou from the trails and then go north to join the battlefield! ”

Mou Lianghu was shocked in his heart, and muttered: "Little Lord Wang is saying that Lu Shen wants to continue to lure our army to fight a decisive battle in the field, and then hide the troops and then suddenly kill them later?" ”

"It's not necessarily impossible."

Qing Yuzhong turned around and walked back, his eyes were shining, and he said slowly: "He didn't participate in the siege of Ruyin City, but instead led the army west to Qingliu Pass, just to see my reaction." In that case, what if I let him lay the clear stream pass? It is best to let him think that I, Qingyu Zhongwang, am a cowardly coward, guarding tens of thousands of elite main forces and only dare to retreat in Heluo City. ”

"The Admiral understands."

Mou Lianghu showed a slight look of excitement, got up and said: "The little prince wants to boost the arrogance of the enemy. After Lu Shen defeated Qingliu Pass, he either stopped and turned around to continue plotting Dongyang Road, or continued to attack westward. As long as the little prince does not move, they will definitely relax their vigilance and ...... again at that time."

Qing Yuzhong smiled and stopped him: "Don't worry, let's take a look." ”

Mou Lianghu nodded in response.

Qing Yu Zhongwang looked at his sister again, and said softly: "Judging from Lu Shen's past methods, he likes to set fires everywhere to distract us, and then find a killing opportunity from it. During this time, you have to work harder, especially to let the people in the Prosecutor's Hall cheer up and keep an eye on all parts of the city to prevent the people of the Southern Qi Warp Weaving Division from fishing in troubled waters. ”

Qingyu Huaijin stood up and said obediently: "Brother, don't worry, I have already arranged it in advance." ”

Qing Yuzhong said: "That's good, I will naturally rest assured that you will do things." General, let's go to the barracks to take a look, they have been stationed in the prosperous place of Heluo all these years, and they are a little slack, and we can't condone this kind of atmosphere. ”

Mou Lianghu's face tightened, and he said ashamedly: "Yes, little prince." ”

Qing Yu Huaijin watched the two leave, slowly exhaled a turbid breath, and the name Lu Shen couldn't help but appear in his mind.

She snorted indifferently.
