Qingzhou trip

The newly-appointed Princess Boyang in Beijing was already weeping and ready for the marriage, but Zhao Yifang tried her best to delay it secretly—even if she didn't deal with the clan Zhao Xiao from Luoyang, even if she no longer had to marry herself, she was unwilling The daughter of Zhongyuan took this step.It's okay to use Princess Boyang's marriage as a bait, but it's really not good.

Unexpectedly, she was not in a hurry, and someone was more anxious. The Tong Wang Zhao Deyuan, who was once carried out by the emperor to beat Ying Wang, made a fake show. Seeing that Ying Wang's condition improved, he did not return to his Yingtian Mansion, but continued to lie. Walking around the capital city, he pushed out his two own daughters in one breath, "May I use the two daughters of Deyuan to help us marry the Western Liaobei and the Northern Xia." The two daughters went out and made the two neighbors be brothers-in-law.

Zhao Deyuan's trip to the muddy waters made King Jin furious, because it made Yun Fangjiang and Bei Xia start to wait and see the changes in the court, which made it worse for the rescue of A Lu.

After the letter was delivered, Xie Penglai held tea in Lu Jinhua's camp and looked at everyone: Lu Xiangchun squatted in front of the map and held his chin to look at Li Jixin's troop distribution; Really chewing the hard jerky as if distracted, Lu Jinhua was reading King Jin's letter.

It has been five days since the face-to-face meeting between Yanzhou and Yunfangjiang, but A Lu's life and death are still uncertain, and Yunfangjiang's old cunning and cunning have not made any moves.It was agreed to be a two-sided attack, and now only Lu Jinhua sang a one-man show for five times-several confrontations with Li Jixin, and they won gold before they could take advantage of each other.Xie Penglai understood Yun Fangjiang: Three conditions were agreed upon, but there was no basis for empty talk, and he didn't see any You Xingzi, even if it was his own daughter who was trapped.

When people were exhausted, Li Suyue couldn't sit still anymore, and looked up at Xie Penglai, "I'll try again to lead the troops and rush in to save people." She was at the front of the battle these few times, and after capturing the prisoners, they all said A Lu Being imprisoned in Li Jixin's army, only a hundred steps away from the commander's camp, Li Suyue felt that there was hope for rescue.She was already angry for not telling the truth to A Lu until Yanzhou, and she was even more annoyed by his wife's risk of entering the enemy camp, which caused her to hardly sleep these days.She stared at Xie Penglai with bloodshot eyes, "It's good that you support the flanks."

Xie Penglai felt that Li Suyue looked calm, but in fact she had become a scumbag, and no amount of words of comfort would help.Xie Penglai signaled her to be calm, and then looked at Lu Jinhua who had finished reading the letter, and sure enough, she patted the letter paper on the table, "They have nothing to do but get married? It's a pile of rubbish!"

Everyone else was scrambling to read the letter stating the situation in the capital, only Xie Penglai stared at the map without saying a word.Although February is coming to an end, the cold wind still seeps into the camp from time to time, and even the clothes are shredded.

"A Lu said that you are a top-ranking talent with good strategy, but Xie Penglai, tell me, what's the best way to do things now?" Because she had heard about the city-ruling talent of Shahai’s old classic book a long time ago, and Alu’s rumor, "I have half a bucket of water left in front of Xie Shi." It is said that Xie Penglai has also become the king of Jin. Concubine, but she is still dressed in commoner clothes, without the squeamishness of being well-dressed and pampered.

Xie Penglai smiled slightly, "What I want is your restlessness." Therefore, she did not dissuade Li Jixin from the previous decision-making, and just stood by Lu Jinhua's side.

Lu Jinhua still knew Xie Penglai well, "Axie, you have been reticent since you came back from Yanzhou, can you talk now?"

Lu Xiangchun was in a hurry, "I just don't understand you scholars, so I like to go around and around until I broke a few intestines."

"Yun Fangjiang will definitely watch us. His eyes and ears are not only outside Yanzhou City, but also everywhere in the border villages, sand seas, and even the Deshun Army and Zhenrong Army. What happened between us and Li Jixin in the past few days has caught his eye. , is the first step to confirm his judgment." Xie Penglai paced to the table, staring at the word "Yanzhou" with a smile on his face, "Who is he in Yunfangjiang? He is conservative when he is strong, impulsive when he is weak, and desperate He took risks when he was in charge, and you and I all saw him in those years when he commanded the Baosheng Army."

This evaluation of Yun Fangjiang also resonated with Lu Jinhua, she nodded, "Yes, Ah Zhi also said that the art of war is nothing more than the word 'odd righteousness', Yun Fangjiang has no correct method, he has no courage, he is reluctant It's all about keeping it, he was forced to the cliff when he took the risk to surrender to Beixia."

"The last time the three of us went to Yanzhou to persuade him to attack him, he agreed, but he was absolutely unwilling to send troops to fight directly with Li Jixin. Instead, we had to wait until we couldn't afford it, and we couldn't afford it before negotiating terms." Xie Penglai Looking at Li Suyue, the female blacksmith's beautiful eyes flashed, "He wants Sui Ci."

Xie Penglai grinned, "Yue Niang is right." She pointed at the East and West Second Army with her index finger, "He is also observing when the reinforcements from the Deshun Army and the Zhenrong Army will be in place." King Jin said Queen Liaoying finally temporarily opened up the joint between the two armies, allowing them to send [-] elite troops to approach Yanzhou.

"When we have all the soldiers and horses, why do you care about him?" Lu Xiangchun said quickly, took a piece of jerky from Ye Lizhen's hand and started to chew.

"So, he will definitely move in these two days." Lu Jinhua looked at Xie Penglai and smiled gratifiedly, "The Deshun Army is still a hundred miles away, and the Zhenrong Army is less than [-] miles away from us. Let Yun Fangjiang decide The heat is not enough." Sure enough, Xie Penglai did not reveal her intentions a few days ago, because she was worried that her men would neglect her because of the reinforcements, and she wanted Yun Fangjiang to see that they were telling the truth.

"Let's give him another boost, and when Yun Fang comes to talk, we will come down." Xie Penglai's words made Ye Lizhen and others puzzled, and Lu Jinhua had already understood, "Ah Xie , what do you want to do when Yun Fang's soldiers leave the city to attack?"

"He is suspicious, he won't do his best, and he will definitely leave a lot of people in Yanzhou." Xie Penglai glanced at everyone with confidence, his eyes were shining, "Li Jixin robbed a lot of money from his merchants in Yanzhou. He and Qingbaiyan are now guarding his Qingbai stronghold. Let's fight there—" Her slender knuckles tapped Qingbai stronghold firmly, "Hua Niang, I want you to lead troops to rob here .Only you can convince Yun Fangjiang that we are aiming at Qingbai Village, and we only want to win him over to make Li Jixin careless."

Lu Jinhua's heart moved, "Yes."

Lu Xiangchun and Ye Lizhen had already stood up, "What about us?"

"If Yun Fangjiang finds out that we are heading towards Qingbai Village, will he withdraw his troops in a rage?" This is Li Suyue's worry. Maybe she is close to Zhu Zhechi. exquisite.

"Where is he in a bad temper?" Lu Jinhua snorted, "There is no hope for Suici, and the city is empty. He must have said a lot of sweet words to Xia Jun, and he is just waiting for the deal to be completed. Take it back and ask for a reward. If you find out that Axie lied to him, in order to redeem the merits, you will attack Qingbai Village to ask for some ready-made bargains."

Xie Penglai looked at Lu Jinhua with admiration in his eyes, "Hua Niang, you really know people well."

Only then did Lu Xiangchun and the others exhale, "That's what Ah Lu said, using her as a guide?"

"That's right." Xie Penglai's gaze once again fell on the entire map, "Alu knows the value of Yanzhou, and if she buys it here, a third of the world's salt storage will be lost to the sea of ​​sand. She did not enter the enemy's camp on a whim. Instead, it is necessary to call out Yunfangjiang, and Li Jixin has to focus on the confrontation." A Lu leveraged the situation in the northwest and began to instigate a chess game planned by King Jin, King Shang, and Bai Zhi for many years, "It's Hua Niang You—" Xie Penglai looked at Lu Jinhua, "You have been recruiting in various villages for many days, how could you not know how to send people to Yanzhou and Qingbai Village?"

Lu Jinhua laughed out loud, and after coughing a few times, she took a deep breath, "I went to Shahai back then, and most of the Lu family was still in the old village, and they have smashed nails everywhere these years." She said to Looking at Xie Penglai, he felt a sense of bosom friend, "Go to Yanzhou, who do you think is suitable?"

She originally preferred Lu Xiangchun, because her niece had experience in leading troops, and with Xie Penglai's assistance, she had a better chance of winning.But Xie Penglai turned around and looked at Ye Lizhen, "Miss Ye Li, you go."

Nori was stunned, "Me?"

"Yes, you are familiar with the defense of Yanzhou, and you are proficient in Beixia and Central Plains Mandarin—" Xie Penglai paused, and it would be risky for her to entrust this task to Ye Lizhen, whom she had known not long ago, but Alu's letter Recommended, and this Beixia woman actually handed over most of her troops to Alu to form a caravan, which shows her character is upright and generous, "Yanzhou is a state in Beixia after all, if Shahai leads the attack, it will be very easy. It caused resistance in the city. But you are different, there is a precedent in the Central Plains for a woman to lead an attack on a city, but there is no such thing as Beixia."

So let Ye Lizhen attack Yanzhou, not only because she is familiar with the local language and customs, but also because of her heart.

"I want to let all the people in Beixia, especially the girls in Beixia, see that there is an extraordinary daughter's family among them. If they can save the poor people in Yanzhou, they can open a way for them. Miss Yeli, are you willing?" Xie Penglai's tone was full of trust and expectation.

After a moment of silence, Nori said firmly, "I'll go."

"Okay, you don't need to be suspicious, and you don't need to be suspicious." Lu Xiangchun also clapped his hands, "I helped Yeli girl lead the Baosheng army, and Yueniang led people to still charge Li Jixin. A Xie, do you think so?"

Xie Penglai nodded and smiled, the air in the tent suddenly became hot, and the cold wind carried the spring into their blood at this time, they all looked up at the greenery outside, "In a few days, not only the sand sea and the Yeqiang River, but also the north Summer will also be spring." Nori said softly.

"Ah Xie, what shall we do after taking Yanzhou?" Lu Xiangchun asked.

"Only by fighting for a while can we fight for a lifetime. Fighting for one life and then fighting for many lives will make a big difference in this world. Just start with us, fight for hearts, people, land, and wealth... After Yanzhou, I think it will be Xiazhou, even Ganzhou Shazhou, even..." Xie Penglai thought of Xijing and Tokyo, and thought of this land that bears the pain and sweat of women for many generations.

"Azhi has fought for a corner of the sand sea for more than 30 years, and the king of Shang has fought for a corner of the court for more than 50 years. Let's not worry. It's just that the bow cannot be returned. King Jin has figured it out?" Lu Jinhua asked Xie Penglai. Nodding her head, her face was brimming with pride, "So I'll take her place."
