Qidu Yecheng Imperial Palace.

At the beginning of the lanterns, the palace is bright. Emperor Gao Wei was playing against Concubine Feng Xiaolian, laughing endlessly.

For some reason, a very distinct image suddenly appeared in Feng Xiaolian's mind: a handsome and flawless face, with an inexplicable smile at the corner of his mouth, and a strange light from his crystal clear eyes, staring at himself deeply, and holding the pink *** bandeau that he gave him last year......

In an instant, the image disappeared like a dream bubble.

Feng Xiaolian couldn't help but be slightly stunned, wondering, why did he suddenly think of him coldly? Listening to Shizun (Hu Qiyun) say, that conscienceless person is tired of playing in the Yin Sect and has cheated out enough benefits, and he will not come back when he is free......

Gao Wei on the opposite side urged: "Concubine Ai, it's your turn, it's time to fall quickly!"

Feng Xiaolian shook her head secretly, and then concentrated on the chess game, but she didn't notice the faint glint in her own pupils, and her expression was slightly different from just now.

Not long after, a handsome and elegant civil official hurriedly arrived, but it was Gao Xiaoheng, the great Sima (about the same as the secretary of the military department), Gao Wei couldn't help but collapse when he saw him, and secretly exclaimed: Trouble, this cousin is so blind, he always bothers me with some trivial things.

Gao Xiaoheng naturally found Gao Wei's dislike, but he felt that this action was related to the survival of Daqi, and he didn't dare not come, and at the same time he couldn't help but sigh secretly: He is also the grandson of Emperor Shenwu (Gao Huan), Gao Wei easily became the Son of Heaven, but he was unwilling to govern the country with his heart, and my brothers (Gao Changgong, Gao Yanzong, etc.) were obviously dedicated to protecting the foundation of their ancestors, but they were repeatedly suspicious and wanted to take the military power but could not get it!

After saluting, Gao Xiaoyan raised his voice to himself: "Your Majesty, have you ever read the report of Luoyang Thorn Shi Dugu Yongye?"

Gao Wei was puzzled for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that he did seem to have received an urgent letter from Dugu Yongye for 800 miles in the afternoon, but he threw it aside after letting Feng Xiaolian give instructions at will, without looking at it carefully......

At this time, he could only say perfunctorily: "I have seen it, General Dugu is sincerely for the country, and I am very relieved." ”

Gao Xiaoheng paid a little attention to Gao Wei's expression, how could he still not know what was going on? Sighing secretly, he could only not get tired of his tongue and said from the beginning: "Since last year, Emperor Yuwen Yong of Zhou led his troops to invade my Luoyang, lost his troops under Kim Yong City, and returned in vain, his heart of death has not been broken, and he has been reorganizing the army and preparing for ......war with all his might."

Gao Wei only felt that this was just a cliché, nothing new, and before he heard two sentences, he had the urge to yawn, and Feng Xiaolian looked at it and covered his lips and smiled.

If it is a clever and caring courtier, he should retire at this time, but Gao Xiaoheng deliberately turned a blind eye and continued: "General Dugu sent secret agents to detect that since August, the Zhou army has been hoarding grain and grass near Tongguan, which seems to have a sign of using troops in autumn and winter.

Thinking about the first month of this spring, Emperor Yu Wenyong of Zhou inspected military affairs in Puzhou (Yongji, the border between Zhou and Qi), and went to Hedong (Wenxi area) to convene the military academies in Guanzhong and Hedong (southwest Shaanxi) to hunt (similar to military exercises).

According to General Dugu's opinion, the Zhou army attacked again in the autumn and winter of this year, and the ten**of**eight**nine will give up Luoyang and take Puzhou (Yongji) and Hedong (Yuncheng), and directly approach Jinzhou (Pingyang City, that is, Linfen, Shanxi), look at Jinyang (Taiyuan), swallow all of my annexed state (Shanxi) in one fell swoop, and then attack Yecheng, the national capital!"

Even though Gao Wei was unconscious, he couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard that his comfortable nest Yecheng was about to be threatened.

Gao Xiaoheng was secretly happy when he saw this, and made persistent efforts: "Therefore, the first person to bear the brunt should be Pingyang City, an important town in Jinzhou, but if Pingyang is not lost, our army can defend against the enemy at the border and even outside the border."

However, although Jinzhou is the place where Emperor Gaozu Shenwu (Gao Huan) rose, Gaozu originally wanted to repair the fortified city but failed to do so, and then Emperor Xiaozhao (Gao Yan) also wanted to strengthen the city of Jinzhou [It is advisable to establish a heavy town in Pingyang, opposite to Puzhou (Great Zhou), with deep ditches and high bases, transport grain and accumulate armor, and build cities to belong to it. If he (Da Zhou) does not go out of retreat, he will take the east of the Yellow River, Chang'an is poor, and he will naturally be trapped and die], but because of the untimely death of Emperor Xiaozhao, it cannot be implemented.

So that now, Pingyang City is in disrepair, the city defense is lax, the defenders are less than 10,000, and they are not elite divisions.

According to the opinion of Weichen and General Dugu, it is not too late to rectify Pingyang City and send additional generals and elite soldiers to guard all matters, and Fu Wei (lying on the ground and asking) Your Majesty will make a decision as soon as possible!"

Gao Wei also felt reasonable, and hurriedly said: "This is very true. It will be left to the great Sima to ......"

Feng Xiaolian suddenly "flutter!" smiled, interrupting Gao Wei's authorization to Gao Xiaoheng, Gao Xiaoheng sighed in his heart, for fear that Feng Xiaolian, the demon woman, would do something to mislead the country and the people, and Gao Wei was gullible and nonsense.

However, whatever he was afraid of, Gao Wei really drew Feng Xiaolian's attention, and "shamelessly asked": "What is the opinion of the concubine?"

Feng Xiaolian didn't know why she laughed inexplicably, and was about to excuse herself in the face of Gao Wei's inquiry, but she felt that her thoughts were surging, and her brain was unexpectedly elven.

immediately covered his lips and smiled, and said softly: "Back to Your Majesty, the concubine is thinking, General Dugu is the assassin of Luoyang, and he doesn't care about how to strengthen Luoyang's city defense and reorganize the 30,000 elite soldiers under his command, but how can he care about Pingyang City, which is hundreds of miles away?"

Isn't it General Dugu who wants to be transferred to Pingyang City in Jinju?

Don't you also say that Jinzhou is the starting place of Emperor Shenwu (Gao Huan), my Great Qi Gaozu Shenwu Emperor, if General Dugu leads his 30,000 elite soldiers to defend Jinzhou, then Jinzhou is really 'impregnable'?"

Intentionally or unintentionally, the tone of the words 'where he started' and 'solid' is almost a word.

Gao Xiaoheng was stunned, he didn't expect Feng Xiaolian to have such a reversal of black and white, and he stubbornly said that Dugu Yongye's heartfelt policy for the country was ill-intentioned.

What's more worrying, he knows that Gao Wei's character is more worrying than the dim and desolate silver, it is precisely right and wrong, vicious and suspicious, and he is the most stingy to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, his fourth brother Gao Changgong is loyal and has made great contributions to Daqi, but he also lost his life because of Gao Wei's senseless suspicion!

I'm afraid Feng Xiaolian's words are in the middle of Gao Wei's arms!

Sure enough, Gao Wei's face changed uncertainly, and gradually became gloomy, looking at Gao Xiaoheng's eyes were also suspicious, and even murderous looms.

Gao Xiaoheng couldn't help but hate Feng Xiaolian very much, but he never dared to show it, so he could only kneel down in fear, "Your Majesty, General Dugu is dedicated to the country, and has no second intentions, otherwise the ancient Xiongdu of Luoyang is not more suitable for secession and self-reliance than Jinzhou?"

Gao Weiwu was suspicious, but the killing machine had receded, Gao Xiaoheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and felt that there was a cold sweat behind him.

Feng Xiaolian covered her lips and smiled again, and her eyes fluttered: "It seems that the concubine misunderstood General Dugu."

However, there is an important town of Jinyang in the north of Jinzhou, with more than 40,000 soldiers in a hundred battles, and an important town of Luoyang in the south, with 30,000 elites under General Dugu. Jinyang and Luoyang go to Jinzhou for only two or three hundred miles, and once Jinzhou is in crisis, reinforcements from the two towns will arrive overnight.

In this case, why should Your Majesty and Da Sima worry about the instability of Jinzhou?"

Having said that, Gao Xiaoheng knew that once Yuwen Yong led the whole country to attack, he would have his own spare troops to intercept it, and he would not let Jinyang and Luoyang have a single reinforcement to reach Pingyang City.

Gao Wei was a dragon-faced pleaser, clapping his hands and praised: "Concubine Ai's words are reasonable, and she is deeply heartfelt. The implication is that everything remains the same, and troops must not be arbitrarily deployed.

Gao Xiaoheng naturally understood that Gao Wei had not completely eliminated his suspicions about Dugu Yongye and himself, and sighed secretly, but did not dare to persuade again, so he had to make a few promises, and then resigned.

Feng Xiaolian looked at Gao Xiaoheng's back, and somehow suddenly remembered the matter of Yuwen Yonghui's hunting that he had just mentioned, and for a while a thought in his heart was about to move, and he couldn't be suppressed.

Even though she knew that this fact would go against the wishes of the sect master and master, she still couldn't help but say it, "Your Majesty, the concubine also wants to go out to hunt!"

Gao Wei frowned and said, "Aifei, it's unbearably hot in August, how can you go out hunting?"

Feng Xiaolian thought for a while and suggested: "Why don't we go to Jinyang Palace to escape the summer first, and when the weather is cool in autumn, then go to Tianchi (Fenyuan Tianchi, Ningwu County, Shanxi) to enjoy the scenery and hunt, what does Your Majesty think?"

Cushman readily agreed, "It's so good, it's really boring to stay in Yecheng all the time, and I want to go out for a cruise!"

Although Gao Wei agreed happily, Feng Xiaolian knew that Gao Wei, the emperor, may not be able to say anything at some point, since Gao Yang, who officially founded the Northern Qi Dynasty, three generations of emperors, Gao Yin and Gao Yan were abolished or "died of illness" because they wanted to make a word, Gao Zhan automatically gave up the opportunity to make a word, but it also contributed to the Yin Sect's wine-colored corrosion strategy to his untimely death.

Gao Wei didn't know that there were people who controlled his life and didn't want him to open Yecheng, but Feng Xiaolian knew the secret, and felt that the lessons from the past must be guarded against.

And there is only one person in Yecheng who has the strength to protect Gao Wei under those people!

Perhaps, even Feng Xiaolian herself didn't realize that she, who had always only been coquettish in front of Gao Wei, how could she suddenly be so thoughtful?

Without too much hesitation, Feng Xiaolian smiled and said, "Your Majesty is patrolling Jinyang, the road is not close, why don't you summon Governor Liu Taozhi to accompany the guards?"

Gao Wei also knew that Liu Taozhi, a retainer who had been born and died with Gaozu, had excellent martial arts, and had served five generations of kings one after another, and was the most loyal, but he was worried that Liu Taozhi would bluntly dissuade him from going out, so he hesitated: "This ......"

Feng Xiaolian once again played extraordinarily and said: "Your Majesty has forgotten what Da Sima said just now? Why don't you tell Liu Dudu that Your Majesty has heard that the Zhou army is about to invade Jinzhou, and intends to come to inspect the Jinyang and Jinzhou city defense soldiers and horses.

Thinking that Liu Dudu knows His Majesty's painstaking efforts to work for the country, he will no longer hinder His Majesty's travel. ”

Gao Wei was surprised: "This plan is very good, the concubine is really my female Zhuge , come, let me kiss a ......"

............

Chang'an City, Jin Guo Mansion, sword aura rushed to the sky.

On the black-and-white gossip platform, Shi Zhixuan slowly opened his eyes, looking a little tired.

As long as Feng Xiaolian came into contact with Gao Wei's side, such as "Dugu Yongye", "Strengthening Jinzhou", "Preventing the Zhou Army from Attacking Jinzhou" and other sensitive **sense**words or sensitive** events, it would trigger the secret hand and make him feel it.

Because these sensitive words or sensitive events represent the discovery and beginning of the Northern Qi Dynasty to deal with Yuwen Yong's second attack, it is related to who can take the initiative in the subsequent battle between the two countries.

At that time, whether the Northern Qi was well prepared and went all out to meet the attack or hastily responded to the battle, the situation in the meantime was completely different, and even determined the outcome of the war to a considerable extent!

Shi Zhixuan knew that his role in the subsequent battle between hundreds of thousands of troops of the two countries was quite limited, so he could only strive for greater and better advantages for the Zhou army where he could, and push the victory or defeat of the battle of Vaqi from uncertainty to "inevitable" as much as possible!

If it weren't for that, Shi Zhixuan would just establish a sensing link with Feng Xiaolian thousands of miles away and peek at what Feng Xiaolian was doing, and it wouldn't consume much of his spirit, but if he wanted to repeatedly exert spiritual hints and guidance on Feng Xiaolian like this, and indirectly manipulate her thinking and behavior, then the spirit consumed would be extraordinary!

Fortunately, Feng Xiaolian specializes in cultivating the ** technique and has never tempered the will of martial arts, otherwise the spiritual power consumed by manipulating it will inevitably multiply geometrically, even if Shi Zhixuan's foundation is extremely strong, he dare not say that he can support a few rounds.

Just breathed a sigh of relief, and before Shi Zhixuan could get down from the practice platform, he heard the sound of light footsteps outside the door approaching, and in the next moment, the door of the hall opened, revealing the figure of You Chuhong's "pot-bellied poop".

In the next moment, she couldn't help but have a pink face, her willow eyebrows were upside down, staring at the pink **belly** in Shi Zhixuan's hand for a while, and then glanced at the tired color between his eyebrows that had not yet dissipated, snorted coldly, and sneered: "I thought you were refining Xuangong, but I didn't expect that you were looking at things and thinking about people, but I don't know what kind of beauty it is, so that General Pei Da You are so haunted and haggard?"

You might as well invite you to the mansion, and let the concubine have a glimpse of her face, and be ashamed of herself!"

Shi Zhixuan was stunned, "......"

Xuan was secretly depressed: Didn't you say that a woman was stupid for three years after being pregnant, why is the associative ability of the vinegar jar in front of her still so colorful?

If I really have the spare time to see things and think about people, I might as well "invite" the people of Iraq to come over and you and me......

Shi Zhixuan was aggrieved in his heart, and he couldn't explain it, so he could only secretly hate himself: Dare to suspect that I am mentally cheating? I will enter the palace tonight to steal the queen! )
