When the news of the loss of Hefei City reached Datong, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Xuanwu Yuan Ke was very worried, at this time Xing Luan, who was standing outside the door, had not stepped into the hall, he knew that the emperor at this time, his heart was shocked and angry, he didn't know how to lose, how to not be angry?

After Yuan Ying went south, he only had correspondence with him, and he often wrote his thoughts into the letters, tactfully expressing the idea of letting Yuan Ying avoid the Huaishui natural danger and return to Zhongli Chengnan, but Yuan Ying never listened to his opinion, and the reply was also very unkind, and the dispute between them never stopped. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Na Yuanxiang has been following him since the defeat of Shaoyang, and has also learned a lot from his strategic tactics. This Yuanxiang girl kept clamoring to meet her eldest brother and inform him of the urgency of the matter, but he stopped her. He knew that there must be a defeat in front of Yuan Ying, and he would realize his mistake, and only then would Yuan Xiang go to him and explain the benefits to him, so that he could regain the initiative in the war. During the waiting period, he kept thinking that he was ill and could not get out.

Today, the emperor sent an order to see him, but I am afraid that he will lead his troops south. It's just that the two generals, Yuan Ying and Yang Dayan, still don't give him this big face in front of the emperor, and when they get the battlefield, they will give him face and listen to his orders? It's just that he can't say anything to the emperor about this matter, and it's better to stay away from this matter than to be wise.

"Lord Xing, how can you still stand outside the door, you and I don't have to stick to this etiquette, now that Hefei has been lost, I am extremely anxious......" Yuan Ke saw Xing Luan, who was standing outside the hall, and hurriedly ordered him to come in and speak.

"Ahem...... Your Majesty, Weichen has been unwell for many days, and it is better to stay away from the emperor. ”

"Lord Xing, I summoned you here today to discuss this war, how to fight it in order to win?"

"This ...... I really don't have any high opinions. Xing Luan really didn't dare to go many ways, at this time, both warring sides were tightening that string, and if one side made a slight move, it would end up losing all the games.

"In today's situation, if you don't bring troops forward, you are only afraid of General Yuan and them, and it will be even more ...... Alas. ”

"General Yuan and General Yang have not confronted the Southern Liang army head-on, the emperor does not have to worry too much at this moment, General Yuan's military report said that Wei Rui's army came this time, and the strength is far inferior to the troops led by Xiao Hong last time, and the two generals still have the upper hand in terms of troops. ”

"It's just that if I want to boost morale at this moment, I urgently need a great general to take command of the southern expedition. "Yuan Ke is indeed very anxious at this time, that Yuan Ying and Yang Dayan generals are like wild horses that have escaped the reins at this time, they can't stop them if they want to, and they really need someone to restrain them.

"This, I, Xing Luan, am really powerless......" Xing Luan could only bite his physical discomfort at this time, he knew Yuan Ying's temperament too well, and he didn't look back when he hit his head against the south wall, he couldn't say anything about him at all, even if Yuan Xiang really stood in front of him and explained the priority of the matter, then Yuan Ying might not really be able to listen to her.

"Lord Xing, if there is no suitable candidate in the DPRK, the United can only grieve Lord to go south. ”

"Ah, Wechen...... Maybe not the most suitable person. Xing Luan suddenly flashed a person in his mind, but he couldn't say it, if he said it, he was afraid that the emperor would guess that he had other intentions.

"The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, who else can take on this great responsibility?" asked Yuan Ke anxiously.

"This person must know Da Liang better than any of us......" Xing Luan said cautiously.

"I think about it, Lord Xing, are you still smart......" Yuan Ke was a little bit by Xing Luan, and naturally remembered that person.

"I don't know who the emperor wants to put in command of the southern expedition?" Xing Luan asked pretending not to know.

"Naturally, it's Xiao Zong, it seems that only he is the most suitable. Yuan Ke sneered slightly, "This second prince is in my dynasty, brocade clothes and jade food, this comfortable life has been long enough, it's time for him to contribute to the union." ”

Xing Luan lowered his head and said no more. For Xiao Zong, when he defected to the Northern Wei Dynasty, he was a little wary of him, this violent prince, just because of a few angry words from his mother's concubine, he decided that Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang, was not his biological father, insisted on rebellion, fled to the Northern Wei Dynasty after the defeat, and let this person take command of the southern expedition, I am afraid that it will backfire, if I send someone else, I am afraid that it will conflict with the two generals of Yuan and Yang, and send this person forward, he has no plan in his chest, but I am afraid that he will still rely on Yuan, Yang, there will be no recurrence of conflict, and in the current situation, this move is also the best way to do it.

Xing Luan didn't want his army to win the battle, but before he set out on the expedition, he tried his best to persuade Yuan Ying to avoid the Huaishui natural danger, but this was just this, Xiao Zong said that Yuan Ying would not believe him, Xing Luan was most worried at this time, that Yuan Ying had already arrived at Zhongli City, according to Yuan Ying's temperament, he wanted to take Zhongli City non-stop, once he encountered the stubborn resistance of the Liang army, the morale of the Yuan army would be greatly frustrated.

He hurriedly returned to Xingtai Mansion, Na Yuanxiang was practicing swordsmanship in the mansion, and when he saw him come back, he hurriedly greeted him: "Lord Xing, the emperor is going to send you south." ”

Xing Luan looked at her eyes full of longing, and shook his head gently: "The emperor naturally wants to send someone, but that person is not me, but Xiao Zong." ”

"Xiao Zong? is that traitor to Nanliang Xiao Zong? Isn't he just a playboy who has nothing to do? Just like him, can he go to the battlefield to fight?" Yuan Xiang jumped up directly, "No, I have to go south to find my eldest brother anyway, and if it drags on like this, my eldest brother's army will be dragged down by Nanliang." ”

"Yuan Xiang, before Xiao Zong leaves the capital, you must rush ahead of him and join your eldest brother Yuan Ying, can you do it?" Xing Luan really didn't want this girl to bear too much pressure at this time, but now, if Yuan Xiang couldn't bring his tactics to Yuan Ying, he was afraid that Yuan Ying, when he was full of achievements, would fade because of Zhongli's battle.

"Lord Xing, don't worry, I, Yuan Xiang, will definitely bring the adult's intentions to my eldest brother. Yuan Xiang naturally understood Xing Luan's intentions.

"General Yuan, they attacked too fiercely, and it was good to enter the enemy's hinterland so quickly, I'm afraid it would be...... There really was something missing. ”

"Lord Xing, why do we have to fight with Nanliang? Over the years, my eldest brother has been exhausted from years of expeditions, and our national strength is getting worse and worse than before, why must this be?"

"Yes, in recent years, the country has been in turmoil, the politics of the DPRK and China have been corrupt, those traitors like Cui Liang have gained power in the DPRK and endangered the loyal and virtuous people, and the upright people in the DPRK have encountered accidents, who dares to speak the truth? That Yuan Ke was greedy, in order to plunder resources, launched wars against the Southern Dynasty for many years, and the people were overwhelmed by heavy taxes and forced labor...... But ......" Xing Luan didn't say any more, if it really came to that time, it would be a sign of the country's demise.

How many people can understand their inner worries now? Xing Luan can only sigh secretly, how much can Yuan Ying, who seized the territory of the city in Nanliang, know about the affairs of the court?

Xing Luan suddenly remembered something at this time, he took Yuan Xiang to the topographic map, and pointed out a place to Yuan Xiang: "If Zhong Licheng can't be attacked for a long time or General Yuan is in trouble, you can break through here, but don't make a noise to your eldest brother in advance, after you go to General Yuan's army, you must find a way to go here, reconnoiter the garrison and terrain here, and when necessary, we will go south from here." ”

Yuan Xiang looked at the map and kept that place firmly in her heart, and at this time, she really admired this big platform.

"Lord Xing, you are indeed ------ the smartest person in our Northern Wei Dynasty!" Yuan Xiang muttered.

Xing Luan heard Yuan Xiang's heartfelt praise, but he was not happy at all, what he was most afraid of at this time was Wei Rui, the first smart person in Nanliang, would he have thought of this.
