Royal road

After the death of Sima Yue, the Battle of Youbin became the most important event that Luoyang Chaotang paid attention to.However, when the curtain came to an end, the emperor in the palace never showed any joy.

The sudden death of Wang Jun really made people breathe a sigh of relief.This son was ambitious, and his Xianbei soldiers and horses were even more brutal. He slaughtered Yecheng and Chang'an successively, killing people without counting.If there is a chance to come to Luoyang, it will be repeated if it is not good.And as the rear area, the three prefectures of You and Ji will no longer be in chaos, which is also of great benefit to the stability of Luoyang.

It's just that this battle was won too easily.

On the side, Wang Yan, who had just been promoted to the rank of Taiwei and was still standing at the head of the courtiers, said in a low voice: "This countermeasure is really ingenious. Your Majesty, Bingzhou Chusheng will make arrangements in the morning."

Sima Yue's accidental death did not affect Wang Yan in any way.On the contrary, because Sima Yue and Gou Xi had a bad relationship before, his attitude of not helping each other made the little emperor relax his vigilance.Coupled with the sudden loss of Sima Yue's pillar, the court also needs someone of equal status as a substitute.After several considerations, the little emperor still appointed the head of the celebrity.

For such an appointment, Wang Yan did not shirk, and even took the initiative to help Gou Xi, let him lead troops into Luoyang, and drive Sima Yue's concubine and heirs back to the fief.As for whether there will be any accidents when this group of people return, how can Wang Yan care?Such a move can be regarded as completely flattering the emperor and the newly appointed governors of Henan, Yan, and Qingzhou, and has achieved real benefits.

It's just that this high position didn't make Wang Yan appear frivolous, and even restrained himself a bit.like this moment.The fact that Yiyan killed Wang Ping made Wang Yan extremely annoyed, and regretted that he had easily fallen into other people's schemes.But to trip the other party is such an understatement.

arrange?What arrangement?Is it a punishment or a reward?Has this governor of Bingzhou become a new Wang Jun, or even Sima Yue, who might threaten the emperor?

And that "countermeasure" hides a lot of mysteries.

The little emperor's face really became more serious.Just imitating Wang Yan's method, he forced Sima Yue to kill with a divorce strategy. Before he tasted the fruits of victory, the three northern states were turned upside down by a counter-measure.

It turns out that in this world, there are really loyal ministers and good generals who cannot be moved by fame, fortune and wealth.But such a courtier is not loyal to him, the emperor.He killed two important court officials in a row, went deep into Jicheng, and slaughtered Wang Jun's family.This Jie slave, has he ever put the emperor in his eyes?And Liang Feng, who can use this fierce general, is he someone he can master?

The seeds of doubt have already fallen into the heart.The little emperor originally thought that after getting rid of Sima Yue, a powerful official, and having a general overview of the power, he would be able to show his hands and feet and control the whole day.But what about reality?Gou Xi has no intention of entering the court for the time being, tens of thousands of troops are still fighting for territory in Yu and Yan.The Xiongnu had already invaded and occupied Yongzhou, captured the two counties of Hongnong and Shangluo, and completely occupied most of Sizhou.And Yiyan, who was originally assigned to guard half of Sizhou in Hebei, tore off the perfunctory mask and once again turned to the old master.

In this way, sitting alone in Luoyang, how is he, the emperor, different from the emperor of Zhou?

It turned out that the governor whom I personally selected also looked like this.Is there anyone he can trust?

But even if he was suspicious, Sima Qin would not reveal it.After pondering for a moment, he said: "Liang Qing has made great achievements this time. It is better to be the governor of Jizhou, enfeoff ten thousand households, and enter Anbei general. The military forces in Youzhou are temporarily under the leadership of Duanwu Wuchen, the governor of Liaoxi County."

Just one sentence gave Wang Yan a certainty in his mind.Although Duan Wuwuchen is from Xianbei, but he married Wang Jun's daughter and lost a lot of people in Bingzhou, so he definitely has a grudge against Liang Zixi.Let him temporarily serve as the governor of Youzhou in order to curb the rise of Bingzhou.Therefore, no matter how much more officials were promoted, the little emperor's suspicion and dissatisfaction with Liang Zixi had already been hidden.

I can't move you now, but the means should be used.Wang Yan knew better than anyone else the intelligence of the little emperor in front of him.And this cleverness, if it is suppressed and threatened blindly, it will turn into suspicion.Is a wise and suspicious emperor easy to deal with?As long as he is allowed to take power, Liang Zixi will suffer from it.

Hiding his thoughts in the bottom of his heart, Wang Yan bowed his hands and said yes.Soon, the envoys left Luoyang and headed for Bingzhou with the imperial edict to reward them.

After staying in Hukou for one night, Liang Feng drove back to Lucheng.It is true that Yiyan has too many wounds on his body and urgently needs to recuperate.Liang Feng put away his plan to go back to Jinyang, and planned to stay in Shangdang to deal with unfinished chores.

Regarding this decision, Duan Qin seemed a little anxious: "The lord should return to Jinyang as soon as possible. Bingzhou is initially determined, and people's hearts should be settled."

"Bingzhou is settled, but Jizhou will take some time. I am not in Jinyang, but I can let Sun Biejia do whatever he wants." Liang Feng did not accept the advice, and replied lightly.

Hearing what he said, Duan Qin had no choice but to return to his official business: "What General Yi said before was not bad. When the camp roared that day, some soldiers from the Tiger Wolf Camp took advantage of the chaos and escaped. Half of them returned to Zhao County, and some went to Ye City. , the real number should not exceed one thousand one hundred. It is a pity that there are no military tags left on the corpses, so it is temporarily impossible to count them accurately."

The military badge is the identity card of a series of soldiers in the Liang Mansion.If the corpse cannot be collected after being killed in battle, the military badge can be taken back and the tomb can be erected.However, this time the journey was extremely dangerous, and most of the people's military cards were never recovered.

Liang Feng sighed softly: "When the soldiers in Yecheng return, count the number again. All the soldiers who are confirmed dead in battle must be recorded in the military records. In addition, the tiger wolf battalion raises the military number, and the soldiers participating in the battle will be promoted to the third rank , the military field doubled, and all the survivors will be supported by the governor's office. Those who have no heirs can adopt stepchildren, and those who have heirs can directly enter Chongwenguan to study."

This reward is the highest treatment.However, some of these people were voted earlier than Duan Qin, and they were all direct descendants of direct descendants.Such a large loss, how can we not treat it seriously.

Duan Qin nodded, and said again: "There is also General Yi. After all, he has an official position, whether..."

Before he finished speaking, Liang Feng waved his hand: "Yiyan is too seriously injured, the commander of the army in Jizhou should be replaced by Zhang He. This time we have to wait for the emperor's order, maybe the officials in the state will make a big move." When we return to Jinyang, we will make detailed arrangements."

This is what it should be.If Jizhou is taken, a whole set of officials will be arranged to take it over.This is a big project, how can it be settled in a few sentences?

But what Duan Qin wanted to say was not this.After hesitating for a moment, he finally bowed his head and said, "I will make arrangements now, sir."

After briefly dealing with official business, Liang Feng didn't stay in the front hall too much, and went back to the backyard directly.Now that Cui Ji's family members are all living in the prefect's mansion, there are not many vacant courtyards, and Liang Feng only occupies one courtyard.It is still not obvious that Yiyan is placed in a side room in the hospital, saying that it is for the convenience of diagnosis.

This may not be in compliance with the rules, but Yiyan is a well-deserved leader in this war.Liang Feng's generous treatment didn't make people think anything.

Without going back to his own room, Liang Feng pushed open the door of Yiyan's bedroom.Seeing the person on the couch, he was taken aback for a moment, stepped forward, reached out and grabbed the other person's chin: "Have you shaved? Did you shave yourself?"

Yiyan's face has been restored to smoothness, the messy stubble has been cleaned up, and even the hair has been washed.Washing hair must be served by a maidservant, but the beard is not shaved very well, and there are several cuts on the cheeks.Obviously someone did it themselves.

Brushing his fingertips over the man's face, Liang Feng shook his head: "You haven't got your hands sharp yet, why don't you let the servants come?"

Yiyan blushed slightly, and said in a low voice, "I'm not used to letting others shave..."

Liang Feng raised his eyebrows: "I'm not timid, and I'm not afraid of cutting my face."

These words made the blush recede a bit, it seemed that he was really anxious, Yiyan said: "I won't be so reckless next time..."

Liang Feng interrupted him: "I'm injured, so don't worry about it. Wait until the injury recovers."

Saying that, he let go of Yiyan's cheek.It was no surprise to find that those blue eyes dimmed a little.This kid has really changed his gender.Liang Feng smiled wryly in his heart.I don't know if it was a bit embarrassing to cry that day, or because my body was really overwhelmed and my energy was low.Yiyan has been so obedient these past two days, it's as if he is taking good care of his dreams.I was afraid that if I was careless, this hard-won dream would be shattered again.

This caution made Liang Feng a little bit at a loss.If it was a normal day, maybe he would make fun of it.But Yiyan was seriously injured and was overworked. The doctor specifically ordered him to restrain his emotions, not to be overjoyed or sad for the time being.Liang Feng also rested his thoughts, and the two of them returned to the state of respecting each other as guests.

However, Liang Feng didn't complain about this "slow" progress.To be honest, he needs some time to digest and adapt.For Yiyan, this happened out of the blue.Was it not to himself?

Take your time and let nature take its course.

"Master Duan has already checked. Hundreds of people escaped after the battalion storm. Those who died this time will also be rewarded generously." Liang Feng changed the subject.

Hearing this, Yiyan's expression darkened twice again: "The tiger wolf camp has hurt its vitality, I'm afraid it will be difficult to return to the old view."

"As long as someone survives, the establishment will not disappear. The Tiger Wolf Battalion is not only not damaged, but also needs to expand the army. The example of this Qingqi defeating the enemy, with one as a thousand battles, will be passed down with the army. Now that we have formed an alliance with the Tuoba tribe, Horses are no longer a problem. Let's train another strong army." Liang Feng's expression became serious.

Honorary titles have always been the soul of the army.At the beginning of the establishment of the three major battalions, Liang Feng focused on other aspects.Those tragic and majestic battle histories will only be passed down with the name of the army and become the place of glory and military spirit.And with this kind of spirit, the establishment will never disappear, it will only become stronger and more cohesive.Yiyan's battle this time really lived up to his reputation as a tiger and wolf!

Yiyan's breath became short of breath, and he lowered his eyes slightly: "Thank you, Lord."

This time, most of the veterans of the Tiger Wolf Battalion were killed, and it was the elite brought out by him himself, which always made Yiyan feel ashamed.But this battle is difficult, even crazy, and unavoidable.The superimposition of the hatchback has become a kind of torture.The Lord's words are not only a great comfort to himself, but also to those brothers who have lost their robes.

Seeing Yiyan so moved, Liang Feng's heart twisted.The number of battles he has fought is almost clear, but this is the first time he has been shaken like this.The Youzhou battle was difficult as one can imagine.

Patting his arm lightly, Liang Feng said: "Sleep a little longer, I'll call you when it's time to eat."

After trekking for too long, a layer of flesh and blood was worn away from Yiyan's feet. What's more terrible was that he fell off a horse before, and his calf seemed to be fractured in two places.I don't know how I insisted on walking back to Sizhou.Now it is tightly bandaged, and there is no way to go to the ground.Coupled with excessive fatigue, he slept on the couch for most of the day.

Yiyan nodded, but instead of lying down directly, he stretched out his hand and gently grabbed Liang Feng's fingers: "If my lord is fine, please stay with me for a while."

Stay with him and watch him sleep?The hand that was lightly grasped was full of cracks, as rough as sandpaper, and there were countless bandages wrapped around the palm, just like himself, crossing the boundary between life and death, and then forcibly pieced it back together.Liang Feng didn't break free, just let him hold him: "I'm here. Go to sleep."

With the promise, Yiyan lay back down in peace.It didn't take much effort to fall into a deep sleep again.

The hand was dry, more or less hot due to inflammation.However, just such a simple light touch made Liang Feng's heart calm down.Leaning back, he changed into a more comfortable position.The hands that were clasped together never let go.
