Chapter Seventy-Two: Planning the Northwest
Dayan Kyoto, Shenglong Castle, Taiwei Mansion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
A few days ago, Tan Yingpeng was convicted of treason and beheaded, and Tan Yu was on his side in the court every time in recent days, which made Wen Sicheng unable to understand it.
Wen Sicheng stood in the hall, watching the rain falling outside the window, and somehow felt a sense of boredom in his heart, He Yifan had been to Jiangnan for nearly a month, and at the beginning, Tianji Pavilion had returned, but he had only been in for ten days, but there was no news.
A few days ago, after receiving the secret protection of Jiangbei, He Yifan sent someone to send back a secret report, the Jiangnan family, the remnants of the four kings and Yanyulou all colluded, and even Yanyulou had begun to recruit troops privately, and the water in Jiangnan was getting deeper and deeper.
"Xiao Ran!" After thinking about it, Wen Sicheng called Xiao Ran in.
"General!" Wen Sicheng had already bowed to the captain first, and was in a high position in Lingxiaohou, but Xiao Ran still couldn't change his title.
Wen Sicheng didn't care at all, and when he saw Xiao Ran coming in, he asked, "Is there any news coming from Jiangnan?"
"Recently, there seems to be something wrong with the Tianji Pavilion in Jiangnan! There is no news coming from the entire territory of Jiangnan! I am afraid that the Tianji Pavilion in Jiangnan has been destroyed!" Xiao Ran said worriedly.
When Wen Sicheng heard this, he touched his nose lightly and said: "It's not strange! Back then, when the four kings of Jiangnan were exterminated, Tianji Pavilion was famous all over the world! This time, if Yanyulou had a plan, Tianji Pavilion would definitely bear the brunt. ”
"Then haven't we become blind and have completely lost control of Jiangnan?" Xiao Ran was shocked when he heard this.
"Jiangnan is rich, and its feeding capacity is several times that of the Central Plains. But right now, the Northwest barbarians seem to be making moves. Even the news from Beiqiang today doesn't seem to be very good! Right now, there are internal and external troubles!" Wen Sicheng thought of the spy reports sent from all over the place in recent days, and he really couldn't be reassured.
Xiao Ran also understood the current situation, and he was also at a loss, so he lowered his head and stopped talking. At this time, the two of them suddenly heard a noisy sound outside the hall, and after a while, several little eunuchs walked into the house, walked in front of Wen Sicheng and bowed: "Captain Wen, the Queen Mother summoned you into the palace and said that if you want to discuss." ”
Wen Sicheng got up when he heard the words and said, "Gonggong Xie, I'll go here." ”
When the little eunuch heard this, he turned around and went back to the palace to reply, and Wen Sicheng also took Xiao Ran to the palace. After a while, Wen Sicheng stood outside the door of Yong'an Palace, and after a while, a little eunuch ran out of the palace and said, "Taiwei Wen, the Queen Mother invites you in." ”
Wen Sicheng nodded, and followed the little eunuch to the palace, when it was May, the Yong'an Palace was full of flowers, the purple and red were very good-looking, all kinds of precious and exotic flowers were gathered and opened, and there was a lot of beautiful scenery.
Under the gazebo in the garden, Zhang Xiuchun, the queen mother of Dayan, sat in the soft collapse, and the little emperor not far away was crying out in a milky voice, "Hey.... Ha..."A young child, practicing a set of unfamiliar boxing, looks very cute.
Seeing Wen Sicheng coming, the little emperor didn't dare to run over as usual, because the master told him that he should concentrate on practicing martial arts and not be disturbed by the outside world.
"Minister Wen Sicheng greets the queen!" Wen Sicheng came to Zhang Xiuchun's soft collapse and bowed down.
"Excuse me!" Zhang Xiuchun replied softly.
Wen Sicheng just got up, and a woman wearing an apricot dress came to Wen Sicheng's side and said, "Brother Wen, you're here!"
"I've seen the county lord!" Wen Sicheng respectfully saluted Zhao Xueqin;
Zhao Xueqin's face turned red, and her jade hand twisted Wen Sicheng's arm, with a sweet smile on her face.
Wen Sicheng also endured it, looking at the dissatisfaction in Zhao Xueqin's eyes with a helpless expression.
"Okay, don't flirt with the mourning family here! Sicheng, too often came to report the day before yesterday, saying that the tenth day of the first month of next month is an auspicious day, and the mourning family intends to set the wedding date of the two of you on the tenth day of the next month, what do you think?" Zhang Xiuchun interrupted the two.
"It's all up to the Queen Mother. Wen Sicheng saluted Zhang Xiuchun.
"Okay!" Zhang Xiuchun said yes, then stretched out his hand and said to the people around him, "You all go down!" For a while, all the palace people around Zhang Xiuchun retreated.
After everyone left, Zhang Xiuchun said to Wen Sicheng: "Sicheng, is there any news in Jiangnan today?"
"Empress Dowager, there is no news coming, but it can be determined here that there is a lot of turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River. Wen Sicheng replied seriously.
"In the rich land south of the Yangtze River, think about how long it has been since the rebellion of the four kings! It's hard for the people of Jiangnan!" Zhang Xiuchun couldn't help but say worriedly when he heard this.
Today, the northwest newspaper reported that the barbarians seem to be raising troops again, and the Qiang people in the north are also unstable, and I hope that the queen mother will make plans as soon as possible. Wen Sicheng said worriedly.
Zhang Xiuchun looked at the little emperor who was practicing his fists and feet not far away, and sighed softly: "The army is on the horse, Sicheng, you can do your best! I really hope that I can leave this child with a peaceful world. ”
"The Queen Mother doesn't have to worry too much, as long as Wen Sicheng is still alive, she will protect Her Majesty and Dayan Sheji. Wen Sicheng saw that Zhang Xiuchun looked physically and mentally exhausted, and immediately spoke.
"Go ahead! The country is stormy, Sicheng, how hard you have to work!" Zhang Xiuchun seemed to be tired, so he asked Wen Sicheng to go back.
After Wen Sicheng thanked him, he turned around and glanced at Zhao Xueqin, bowed and retreated.
The two women looked at Wen Sicheng's figure in the distance, and their hearts were full of thoughts.
Outside of Kyoto, Yongheguan.
On the city wall, a burly general was holding back a thin man who looked like a scholar, and said loudly: "Nangong! Do you say that He Xiaozi has gone to the south of the Yangtze River to be happy, why has it been so long, and there is no news." ”
"I'm afraid something has happened!" Nangong Yi looked indifferent and picked up a glass of wine on the table.
"Something happened, then you still have the heart to eat and drink, grandma, you should think of a way!" Zhang Anbei heard Nangong Yi say this, and his heart was anxious.
"I'm afraid that not only He Yifan, but also the Jiangnan family and Yanyulou must have some changes. I'm afraid that the Tianji Pavilion in Jiangnan will also be served by the Yanyu Building! I'm thousands of miles away, what can I do?" Nangong Yi couldn't stand Zhang Anbei's frizzy appearance, and said angrily.
"The person chosen by Sister Ying is too unreliable!" Zhang Anbei muttered quietly when he heard this.
Before Zhang Anbei's words fell, he saw a cold light flashing, and the hairpin was inserted directly into the wine glass in Zhang Anbei's hand.
"What's so tight about your kid's skin?"
Nangong Yiqiang on the opposite side couldn't help laughing, and his shoulders kept shaking. Zhang Anbei's face was full of black lines, and he knew that he had followed this kid's way again.
Seeing Zhuo Xueying coming with a smile on her face, Zhang Anbei immediately got up to help Zhuo Xueying sit down; who knew that Zhuo Xueying ignored it, and walked straight to the city wall, the terrible night breeze blew across her cheeks, and Zhuo Xueying looked at the mountains in the distance affectionately.
After a long time, Zhuo Xueying said softly: "Can't this country be saved after all?"
Nangong Yi got up when he heard this, took the wine glass and stood side by side with Zhuo Xueying and said, "It's not that serious!"
"The disaster of the family has not yet occurred, and a new turmoil has arisen in the south of the Yangtze River, and the barbarians in the northwest and the Qiang people in the north are all serious border troubles, how can it be considered serious?" Zhuo Xueying couldn't help but be angry when she heard this.
"Wen Sicheng has been in the northwest for a long time, and the northwest border army is all tigers, and now it is commanded by Mu Hao, and the northwest is not a big trouble in recent years. It has been nearly a hundred years since the Northern Qiang invaded our Shenzhou, but in recent years, there have been many discords among several major tribes within the Qiang people, and even if they come to attack, they will not do their best, and the people under Zhang Anbei are not vegetarians. Jiangnan Yanyulou said that it is just a Jianghu organization, even if it has the support of the Jiangnan family, it can't make any big waves. When the time comes, Wen Sicheng will bring 20,000 or 30,000 people to pacify. At present, the weight of the court is still on the family gate, and if this cancer is not removed, the world will be uneasy every day. But Sister Xue doesn't have to worry too much, as long as that person is still alive, as long as the Divine Machine Army has not yet appeared, the world will not be chaotic. Nangong Yi talked eloquently.
When Zhuo Xueying heard this, her heart was a little calm, and she was about to say something more, when she heard Nangong Yi say: "Sister Ying, it is more deeply exposed, there is a strong wind on this city wall, you should go back and rest quickly!"
When Zhuo Xueying heard this, she sighed lightly and turned around and took Xiaohe down the city tower. When the two of them left, Zhang Anbei pulled off the silver hairpin on the wine glass and said, "Your kid's skill in deceiving people is getting higher and higher!"
When Nangong Yi heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Sister Ying has suffered a lot over the years, and it's better for her to worry less about some things! Besides, at least in terms of Old Man Fang and the Divine Machine Army, I didn't lie." How's the preparation going in the northwest?"
When Zhang Anbei heard this, he took out a map from his bosom and spread it on the table, pointed to the map, a city in the northwest and said: "Jianshan! Wen Sicheng has been operating in the northwest for several years, and Jianshan County is rich in people, and this place is surrounded by mountains on three sides, leaving only one in the southeast, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack." ”
Nangong Yi looked at the place Zhang Anbei pointed to, and said for a long time: "I expect that there will be chaos in this world within a few years, and it must be a group of heroes competing for deer." We should prepare early, find an opportunity to send Sister Xue to Jianshan first, and I will go after a while. ”
"Aren't you going to see Wen Sicheng?" Zhang Anbei said in surprise.
"Hey, there is an old man in the Jingshi, if there is something that Second Brother Wen can't handle, then I can't do anything, it's better to go to the northwest first, and lay a good front station for you." Nangong Yi said melancholy.
When Zhang Anbei heard this, he sighed and said, "Emperor Xian, General Zhuo, you are still going too early!"
