The flood in the south once in a hundred years caused displaced people in Kyoto. The folk capital is that the emperor has no way, and he has been punished by heaven, so that the people of the world will suffer.

Jingzhou was the hardest hit, and the uprising was in full swing. When the rebel army was at its strongest, it even hit outside Shengjing City, and although it was finally defeated by the Chinese army, Yangzhou was also greatly injured, and it was very different from the previous stability and wealth.

At present, Jingzhou is still divided by various rebel armies, and the situation is very chaotic.

However, there are Yongzhou, where the general of Zhenbei is located, Youzhou, where Jiang Xuanche is located, Jizhou, where Wang Ren is located, and Yanzhou, where Lin Ning is located, because the situation is stable, so the life of the people is still passable. As a result, more and more displaced people are flocking to these four states.

Since a hundred years ago, the world has only seen northerners migrating to the south because of war, and this time there is a trend of return, which is amazing.

If there is chaos today, Lin Ning and Jiang Xuanche wrote through letters, and both of them believed that this was the best time to launch an offensive.

And the alliance of You, Hebei, and Yan has also reached the point where it must be reached.

The three parties negotiated through letters, Youzhou had a total of 30,000 troops, Jiang Xuanche led 20,000 troops, plus 5,000 cavalry of Xianbei allies, and left 10,000 troops to garrison Youzhou.

Lin Ning led 17,000 soldiers and horses from Yanzhou, leaving only the original garrison troops of each county to garrison.

The two set off from Youzhou and Yanzhou, and the three parties converged in Xindu, Jizhou, to plan for great things.

The reason why Lin Ning brought all the troops out was really because Yanzhou was very barren and had no danger to defend under the continuous wars and thieves. It's better to take a gamble and give it a go.

More than 550 kilometers from Xiaqiu to Xindu, 17,000 people reached Xindu at the fastest speed, and it took half a month.

In the Ten Mile Pavilion, Lin Ning's uncle Wang Ren and Jiang Xuanche were already waiting there, and when they saw each other, they were full of emotion.

Jiang Xuanche saw that Lin Ning was dressed in armor, and his skin was also a little wheat-colored by the wind and frost, not only was it not ugly, but it was less of the sense of disobedience caused by the skin being too white when he wore a military uniform before. Her face seems to be much more resolute than a year ago, and with her beautiful facial features, she exudes an aura that is more and more unforgiving.

Lin Ning first visited her uncle, although Wang Ren rarely returned to Beijing, but he also loved this niece, Lin Ning is now riding this jujube red horse that has followed her for many years, which was given to her by Wang Ren when she was ten years old.

Wang Ren saw that Lin Ning was wearing a corner of his underwear in his uniform, still wearing plain clothes, thinking of his sister's tragic death, he couldn't help but have red eyes, and pulled Lin Ning to take a good look up and down, only said a few words "good", and couldn't say anything else.

Lin Ning hadn't seen this uncle a few times, but thinking that this was his mother's only surviving relative, he couldn't help but soften a little.

The uncle and nephew were very happy to see each other, and immediately said that after Lin Ning set up camp, Wang Ren held a banquet in Jizhou Thorn Mansion that night to receive her wind and wash the dust.

When Lin Ning first came, there were many things that needed to be deployed, and he couldn't leave for a while, so Wang Ren went home first to prepare for tonight's banquet.

Jiang Xuanche bowed his hand to Wang Renyi and said respectfully: "Uncle Shi, please take the first step, the little nephew and Luo Yu haven't seen each other for a long time, and they still want to catch up on the old days, just go to the banquet with her in the evening." ”

Wang Ren's smile paused, and he agreed with a smile, but his meaningful glance before leaving made Lin Ning a little inexplicable.

The army was stationed in the plains southeast of Sindu, with flat ground and close to water sources. Jiang Xuanche's 25,000 Youzhou Army was stationed next to the Yanzhou Army.

Lin Ning asked Jiang Fei to take charge of the camp, and she and Jiang Xuanche rode to a high slope near the garrison, looking down at the camp in the distance.

"Why do I think my uncle's attitude is a little strange?" Lin Ning frowned slightly, and asked Jiang Xuanche: "I have met my uncle no more than three times since I was a child, but I don't know much about his personality. But the first few times we communicated didn't show any clues, which made me very puzzled. ”

Jiang Xuanche smiled slightly bitterly and said, "I also came here to find out." ”

The two sat down on a grassy slope, and the winter wind blew the cloaks behind the two of them to hunt, which reminded Lin Ning of the sand dunes outside Loulan, and it was like a world away for a while.

When he came back to his senses, Fang listened to Jiang Xuanche and said, "Your uncle has no children under his knees, you know." ”

Lin Ning nodded, her mother had talked about this many times, and she had always wanted to pass on the incense to her uncle, but her uncle loved her daughter and said that it would be the same for her cousin Wang Yao to recruit a husband in the future.

"What does this have to do with my uncle having no children under his knees?" Lin Ning glanced at Jiang Xuanche suspiciously.

Then his mind turned, and he took a closer look. The two looked at each other for a long time, and then Jiang Xuanche said with a wry smile: "This is exactly what I want to tell you, your uncle has been talking to me a lot in the past few days, I'm afraid that it will be announced in public at tonight's banquet, making it difficult for me to ride a tiger." ”

Lin Ning was speechless for a while.

The thing is very simple, no matter how close the niece is, she can't kiss her daughter, Wang Ren has no children under her knees, in order to protect the future of the Wang family, he naturally hopes that Jiang Xuanche and Wang Yao will marry and let his daughter be the future queen.

Wang Ren knows that the years are not forgiving, even if he sits on the throne, he will not be able to sit for a few years, the heirs of the Wang family are thin, most of them died in battle, Wang Ren was injured on the battlefield, and there is no other descendant except Wang Yao's daughter. He naturally has to plan for his daughter's future, which is understandable.

Among the three coalition forces, Su Luoyu is a woman, and Wang Ren is dying, it is obvious that if there is something to be done, Jiang Xuanche will be the future of the Ninety-Five.

"Huh. Lin Ning was silent for a long time, chuckled, and the laughter was light and scattered in the wind, without a trace.

"In terms of distant relatives, my uncle should also plan for my cousin, I didn't expect this layer before. Lin Ning said lightly, but the smile on his face disappeared.

"What, do you really want me to marry your cousin? Su Luoyu, you and I have been married since childhood!"

I don't know which string Jiang Xuanche touched, he suddenly stood up, clenched his fists and walked back and forth on the ground twice, Fang suppressed his anger, looked at Lin Ning with burning eyes, pursed his lips and said nothing.

This expression is like when the master is angry. Although it was fake that time, it overlapped with the current immature face, and it was miraculously the same.

Lin Ning's heart suddenly softened, she also stood up and said comfortingly: "Don't be rash. Don't you understand that if I don't have today's troops, my uncle will probably be happy to see you and me. It is because I am out of his control now that he must let Wang Yao marry you, otherwise the alliance between the three of us will not be stable at all. ”

Jiang Xuanche suddenly laughed when he heard this, but that smile made Lin Ning's heart jump uneasily.

"I don't want to talk about the situation today, and I don't want to talk about the trade-offs. I just want to ask you, what is my position in your heart?"
