Minister

62【Six Years of Jiankang】

There were not many troops going to Rujuelu. After all, Meilin did not have a military position, and the Monan royal family had been effective in guarding against him over the years, so the number of troops he could muster was less than [-].However, he is still full of confidence in the face of Wang Yunyi, whose military strength and firepower are much higher than his own. He once said "" before, and now there are more than [-] people in Xilingrad. Can Wang Yunyi actually suppress it?What's more, Rujuelu still has more than [-] troops?As long as the internal and external cooperation can be achieved, this perfect annihilation battle can be fought, and this city that has brought infinite glory to Wang Yunyi will become the last memory of his life!

But the old man ignored a problem, how could an old fox like Wang Yunyi be at a disadvantage as he wished?The days of staying in the capital are not short, and it is only a few hundred miles away from Jue Juelu, so there is no reason for him not to send some people to identify the family.People in Rujuelu are also more bitter. When you climb the mountain, you can see the bustling and gorgeous capital, but unfortunately, you just look at it, chewing on the ice and snow with coarse grains in your mouth. Not everyone has the kind of sadness that the house is full of gold and flowers can’t go out. opportunity to experience.After experiencing such injustice for a long time, these nobles who had been infinitely loyal to the Monan royal family still had some side branches in their hearts, and these side branches thrived in the hearts of the younger generations.Wang Yunyi didn't send anyone to send gold and silver treasures, what he sent was - a woman.These women are not girls from Monan, nor are they randomly picked by Daqi, they are singers and dancers that Shang Baosi specially bought from the land of flowers and willows.After the fall of the capital, the Ministry of Coordination sent it to Wang Yunyi.Wang Yunyi gave them gold and silver, and told them that there would be more in the city among the snow-capped mountains.

These women were successfully sent to Jujuelu, and successfully won the favor of the nobles with Yingge Yanwu.Wang Yunyi smiled, but the old man ignored a question, how could the ever-changing battlefield allow him to fulfill his wish so easily?

The little-known city guard of Nancheng, the city guard of Nancheng who did not obey the order to support Ximen, the city guard of Nancheng who fled now after failing to meet King Monan as agreed, the city guard of Nancheng who fled from the motherland and fled to Juelu alone Finally did something worthy of conscience.After all, he is from the capital city, and he has seen many such beauty tricks, and he is well aware of the ambitions of the old man King Qi, so he finally decides to take the risk of being a meddler to persuade the nobles to stay away from Wang Yunyi.Although these aristocrats are used to suffering, they still don't lack that kind of innate sensitivity. They quickly checked this group of beauties. It's a pity that Wang Yunyi did a great job. He didn't entrust his military aircraft to any woman. After an investigation, I only found out that these are just a group of ordinary romantic women.

The nobles of Rujuelu continued to have fun, while Qi State expressed its friendship and friendship through various diplomatic means.The city guard of Nancheng did not relax his vigilance. He understood that there is no such thing as a free lunch, and if there was one, he would have to change it.But he didn't remonstrate again, he knew it would be useless to do so again, before the time came, he contacted his old friends in Rujuelu City on the one hand, and ambushed carefully on the other hand.Until one day, a confidant sent a handwritten document, which was a secret letter to the leader of Jue Lv.The city guard of Nancheng looked at it once, and his body trembled violently. After finally regaining his composure, he asked the messenger: "Can I still leave the city? Arrange it as soon as possible!"

It was late at night on September 22nd, and it had been more than two months since this document was delivered to Jujuelu until it was stolen and copied into the hands of the city guards!

"... If Du Wang Xu, Qi Zun Du Wang will be the new head to replace the unworthy..."

At that time, King Monan was still there, and the eldest princess was in full swing, but... Wang Yunyi had already made the next move...

There is one more thing Nancheng Chengshou can do now, and that is to deliver this letter to Mei Lin as soon as possible.If Meilin and his party are defeated by Rujuelu, the capital will no longer have the strength to fight against the Qi army, and the day of the kingdom will be just around the corner!

On that moonless night, he finally left the city and rode his horse towards the endless darkness...

This night, Wang Yunyi handed over everything to Ning Yuan and walked to Geng Zhuqiu's room seemingly leisurely.

"This time, I only let you go to Fengyi. I wanted you to return to Beijing...the cabinet should not!"

"This is not unexpected. I have already prepared for it. It is not a few years since we have been friends. Don't underestimate my ambition."

Seeing the man smile, Wang Yunyi's heart trembled unbearably, and he calmed down his thoughts and said, "Is it true that Xie Longqing is not allowed to go?"

"What kind of ample manpower is there now? Don't hesitate! There is just one thing to say..."

Wang Yunyi hurriedly said, "Say it!"

"That Wei Chi, don't let him follow me!"

"Why is this? Xu Yue has taken him for so long, and everything goes smoothly. With him here this time, you should worry less."

"...A few days ago, I talked to him. He...don't look like a scholar, he is young, but he is also courageous. He is alive, and I have many talents in Daqi. Going to Fengyi, there are few soldiers. Miscellaneous, he will no longer be able to do civil work, and he will be sent to the front line. After all, he is still a child, follow you, as long as you are still there, he can return to Beijing safely, follow me... but it's hard to say..."

Wang Yunyi waved his hand and interrupted Geng Zhuqiu's words: "I'm not raising a flower, how can I cherish him so much? He is your subordinate. Now is the time for him to be loyal. Don't help him shirk it!"

Geng Zhuqiu sighed: "You prevaricate me! I return to Fengyi to save my life, but if you let him follow me, it's life-threatening! There are thousands of people along the way, who can take care of whom? I'm afraid I won't be able to get through the journey of thousands of miles. Feng Yi died! He is just an editor of the Imperial Academy!"

Wang Yunyi thought for a long time: "He must go with you, don't persuade me anymore, go to Fengyi to cultivate well, in the early winter, we will see you and my brother again!"

Geng Zhuqiu knew it would be useless to talk further, so he nodded.Wang Yunyi sat for a while, then turned back to his yard, and in the middle of the night, Ning Yuan came back to report.At that time, Meilin's relatives who stayed in the capital had been slaughtered, and there was no way for him to turn back.

Under the dim oil lamp, Wang Yunyi looked at Ning Yuan's blurred face, and remembered the first time he met him, ten years ago?He is a Jinshi.At this moment, he has already lost his scholarly temper and become a capable official of the Ministry of War.Tanhualang, can you do it too?

The Meilin uprising went out of the city, and nothing unusual was encountered along the way, until midnight on the 25th, when the soldiers in the training camp escorted back a 'Xiaozuo'.After the 'Xiao Zuo' was arrested, he didn't say anything. He just clamored to see Mei Lin himself.The army has been exhausted in the past few days, seeing that the overall situation is stable, it is inevitable that they feel slack in their hearts. The person who sent the order saw it as a delicate matter, but he forgot about it, and did not inform Xie Lin of the case until the morning.Mei Lin didn't pay much attention at the beginning, but felt vaguely uneasy when she really wanted to let it go, and finally threw away the sweat towel for washing up and ordered someone to bring Xiaozuo to see her.

Nancheng Shoucheng was anxious in his heart, and finally looked forward to this meeting.When he got into the carriage, he almost knelt down with tears in his eyes: "Master Mei Lin! I am Qie Ji Nuo Luo!"

Mei Lin was startled, and was very surprised: "You...?"

Qie Ji Nuo Luo knelt and took a few steps: "There is a superstition about the master's life, please read it!"

Mei Lin was three-point puzzled and seven-point surprised, and finally ordered someone to untie the handwritten letter and read it.If you don’t read it, you will be surprised! The Qi army actually gave the best of the country’s benefits to the woman in this letter!And if I didn't see this letter today, I would be able to arrive at Yujuelu in the afternoon. If it was true, wouldn't it be a trick.

Or is this person Wang Yunyi's traitor?The fact that he escaped from Nancheng is well known in the city...but... Mei Lin squeezed the thin paper in his hand—if it was a trick, Wang Yunyi would definitely prepare a document with complete seals, and this letter in his hand...is Hand-copied... Do you want to believe it or not?

It is too late to send someone to thoroughly investigate the source at this moment!Meilin frowned, this...

"Come here! Kill this daring traitor!" Mei Lin slammed the letter on the ground.

"Master!" Qie Yunuoluo struggled desperately: "I am not a traitor, I am not a traitor! Everything said in the letter is true!"

Mei Lin smiled coldly: "You can still spare your life if you confess!"

"Master Mingchao! Master Mingchao!" Qiejun Nuoluo was dragged out of the tent by two sergeants.

Not long after, the military commander got into the carriage holding Qiejunuoluo's head.

"Is he still not changing his words?" Mei Lin asked.

"Back to the old man, he just yelled to ask the old man to look into it...he didn't say anything else."

Mei Lin ordered the little official to step back, silently picked up the letter paper at his feet, read it again, and said, "Set up camp today, and send someone to Rujuelu to inquire! As soon as possible!"

Before the battle started, the situation had changed several times.

On September 26th, a peaceful day, Wang Jiajun, Rujuelu, and Meilin were all lurking in their respective plots, preparing to be the most cunning wolf.Wei Chi received the official military order and retreated to Fengyi Pass together with Geng Zhuqiu.

There are four exits in the Ikezhao Mountains, one is Duolun, one is Ulanqab, one is Bayan Tala, and the last one is Fengyi Pass in Daqi.Wei Chi and his party came in from Duolun. Duolun is in the southwest of the mountains, Bayantala is in the north, Ulanchabu is in the southeast, and Fengyiguan is in the west of the mountains.That road is not easy to walk, but most of the caravans in the exchange market use this road to enter the customs. Although there is Yulong Pass at the other end of the high Baiyun Mountains, it is on the territory of Lord Wo Tuolei after all. , there are more variables when walking, and this Fengyi Pass is much closer to the capital of Qi State, so the price of the goods transported there can be higher.This commercial road has existed since the previous dynasty, but this pass was only built by the emperor of this dynasty.In the past, you had to go directly to the customs

Jiaxing can just unload the goods, Fengyi is just a small post, a place to rest.Although Jiaxing is good, it is a pity that it is not the place where wars are fought. It is convenient to do business, and the city defense is almost insignificant.Whenever people on the prairie want to come, they can set up a "soldier approaching the city" with a horse and a knife at will.At that time, the capital was in the south, so if they came to fight, they would come. Now that the capital has been moved, the capital is less than a thousand miles away from Jiaxing, so this place has become an important place for military strategists.After so many years of fighting, the first emperor knew that this place is a pocket that cannot be lifted, and no matter how much money he spends, he would throw it into the water, so he ordered people to turn the Fengyi of the mountain pass into a city tower, and built this small village into one of the best. fortress.Most of the ancestors of Fengyi were potheads who ran the Mazhuang inn, and they lived a life of slack and freedom. After many years of planning, the imperial court built the yamen into this place with strong folk customs.That's where Wei Chi was going.

At Mao on the morning of the 26th, Fengyi's terrain was so dangerous that there were no more than [-] troops stationed all year round, and Wang Yunyi was not rich, so he allocated [-] to Geng Zhuqiu, still more cavalry, so he could arrive safely.

Wei Chi counted the supplies, got into the carriage and reported to Geng Zhuqiu.Geng Zhu Qiu Dashang was unable to ride a horse when he first saw improvement, so he half-lyed in the carriage and listened to Wei Chi's report.In fact, Geng Zhuqiu also knew in his heart that without Wei Chi, it would be difficult for these 500 people to go back smoothly. After all, only this kid has played with those 'drifting trees', and he might not be able to catch them by sending someone casually.After hearing Wei Chi finished speaking, Geng Zhuqiu sighed and ordered Tang He to be called in.Seeing that Wei Chi was there, Tang He felt uncomfortable.

"You two," Geng Zhuqiu paused, "You all know the current situation, don't mess around when you shouldn't be fighting."

Tang He saw Geng Zhuqiu leaning on the mat, his face was still very bad, and he was very sad: "This subordinate knows."

Wei Chi also took the initiative to nod: "I used to have a childish temper, but I was naughty, and I didn't really have any grudges with General Tang. My lord, don't bother with such trivial matters."

Geng Zhuqiu nodded, and when Wei Chi retreated, he asked Tang He to come closer: "Although Wei Canling is a civil servant, he is not a character who likes to hurt others, if so, General Wang can't keep him. Be easy-going, if there is any dispute, tell Hu Yanglin and pass it on to him, don't make things difficult for each other."

Tang He glanced at Geng Zhuqiu's arm, his eyes blushed, and he responded in a low voice.

At noon, this small group of people left the west gate and embarked on the way home.Tang He led the people to walk in the front, Du Yun took the lead, and Wei Chi was in charge of serving the food and grass for the trip and paying attention to the arms.In front of him was Yi Kezhao, and not far away was Wa'ena, the place where Wei Chi feared and loathed from the bottom of his heart.Wei Chi stood on the hill and looked back at Wulanchabu - it was here when he came, and he rushed down the battlefield recklessly, almost dying.That city used to be a place of shame for Sol Hahan, but now it belongs to Wang Yunyi... When that day came, I still had a sympathy for the side that defended the city in my heart, but now I know that success or failure is just an instant. On this battlefield, No matter Wang Yunyi, Saul Hahan, or Lin Lin, no one is invincible in the world, no one is strategizing, everyone tied their heads to their belts to play their lives, and now I, an outsider, have also fallen into it.Is there really no one in this world who can watch from the sidelines?Wei Chi sighed. In the past, he always felt that Wang Jiajun had nothing to do with him. What he had to do was to fulfill his duties. Monan had nothing to do with him. What do you think, the reality is so helpless, there is nothing to mess with, this is a life-and-death fight, not the love of children, it is the winner and the loser.

It's just... For those few months, no matter what people or things, I can't help but feel reluctant and miss...

At this moment in the north, Lord Wotolei has finally reached a turning point, and Saul Hahan has brought hope and an opportunity for victory. The 26th is the last mediocrity of September.
