"The three armies pass on my commander-in-chief, who dares to make false comments on withdrawing troops, will they be killed? Forgive me!"

After the "Eldest Princess" order was issued, the three armies, which were still discussing at first, instantly settled down. No more mentioning the withdrawal of the troops, and seized the time to build the siege fortifications, vowing to take the northern border.

The swan geese envoy failed to ask the eldest princess for help, and then ran to Lan Lie and Feng Huaji for help, and all they got was news that they would advance and retreat with the eldest princess.Under grief and indignation, he had to return to Beijing to return to his life.

However, the burden on the generals' shoulders has not been lightened in the slightest.

Isn't the defense system of the three cities of northern Xinjiang as the northern barrier built? Although they can't attack it, it is as difficult as heaven to attack it.Maybe it's okay, this battle will really last until next year.At that time, whether the capital can still be defended or not is another question.

Li Jingchen spread out a topographical map of northern Xinjiang in the big tent, and analyzed the current situation to everyone: "According to reports from insiders, the three cities of northern Xinjiang are currently guarded by the three sons of the Tu family, Tu Yunba, Tu Yunlei, and Tu Yunji." She said. On the one hand, he said the name, on the other hand, he went to the three cities of Pingyang, Dangzhou, and Songyin, and planted three small flags respectively.Forming a stable triangle, "the three cities are two wings of each other. They can fight each other when they advance, and they can defend each other when they retreat."

"And Tu Yuanshan hid the main force of northern Xinjiang in advance, here." She slid her hand down, crossed the Zhuohe River, and suddenly tied the black flag to a place that no one expected. .

"Langshan?" Master Xu stared blankly for a moment, and the doubts in his heart were solved like lightning and flint.

"Yes, it's Langshan." Li Jingzhu pointed to the place covered by a small flag with his finger, and drew two routes with his gestures: "Langshan is located in Jiankang and Beijiang. The middle area is the closest to Guyang City, where you can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. It is an excellent place to hoard troops."

Master Xu watched as she threw another small flag towards Jiankang City, and Beijiang, Langshan, and Jiankang formed a large triangle.Suddenly Mao Sai suddenly realized, clasped his hands and said: "Ah, yes!"

"Before this subject, I kept thinking about how Suotu Yuanshan waded across the Zhuo River while avoiding the three armies. The soldiers. When the three armies crossed the river and entered the northern border, he didn't have to go around to the back of the army. So Guyang City didn't fall suddenly, but Tu Yuanshan had planned it for a long time."

Junshi Xu stared at Li Jingzhu with sharp eyes.

"No? That's wrong." Li Jingchen shook the flag in his hand, as if there was really a chessboard in front of her, and what she was about to drop was a crucial chess piece, "Guyang City It happens to be located in the center of Jiankang and Pingyang City, and it is the closest to Wolf Mountain. Eating it can not only replenish food and grass, but also disrupt the rear of the three armies and attract us to return to the division for rescue. This is the most important part of Tu Yuanshan's plan this time. Huan, he has been planning for at least a year for this."

The flag fell on Guyang City with a clatter, causing everyone to feel a slight shock in their hearts.

Master Xu couldn't help being astonished, "This move was really unexpected. The defense of Guyang City was much worse than that of the capital. It fell within a day. It didn't take more than half a year to plan. It was absolutely impossible. Also, it is not easy to smuggle [-] troops across the Zhuohe River. If there are too many people, it will attract the attention of the court, so you must have a lot of patience and work slowly and meticulously." Even as an opponent , I can't help but admire Tu Yuanshan's foresight.He is probably the only one in Yurui who has such a strategic general.

"Exactly."

The two of you talked to each other very quickly, and the generals next to you were able to keep up at first, but then they became a little confused.

One of them, the young lieutenant, scratched his head and said, "Wait, you mean Tu Yuanshan is hoarding [-] troops in Langshan? This...how is it possible?"

"Why not? It's possible. Since Langshan can support Gu Rentu and gang bandits, it can naturally stockpile [-] soldiers." Lou Ren participated in the suppression of the rebellion in Langshan. He knew that? Xiu, the best Tibetan, once hid in Gu Rentu's entire lair, and was never discovered by the court for several years.

"But Wolf Mountain? It's a bird? Shit, oh no? Birds can't fly over it? I heard that camels can get lost wherever they go."

Lou Ren: "Do you still remember that when Tu Yuanshan returned to northern Xinjiang from the capital, he walked along the path of Langshan, in name? To pay homage to his eldest son, Tu Yunkai. The real purpose, I'm afraid Langshan has already been decided. It is a place to hoard troops, and it is specially for inspecting the terrain."

"So, Tu Yuanshan has decided to raise troops since then?"

This is a very crucial question.

Everyone knows that Tu Yuanshan was ambushed while crossing the Wolf Mountain, and the court has always been at fault for this matter.Result in a very long period of time in? Passive.But if he had had two intentions at that time, then Li Pinghong's assassination would have been "reasonable" in the eyes of everyone.There are some things that people don't say on the surface, but it doesn't mean that there is no obstruction in the heart.And if this incident is true, it is tantamount to saving the imperial court from the previous whirlpool of public opinion, which can greatly stabilize people's hearts.

"Probably."

Even Xu Junshi said the same, and everyone was relieved. No one noticed that the coach in the center of the crowd was silent for the first time.

In fact, Li Jingchen expected Tu Yuanshan's rebellion much earlier than his return journey.

Since Qin Liang revealed the burial pit of "killing good men and taking meritorious service" in northern Xinjiang [-] years ago, Dong Gong tried his best to help him cover it up, but he was in a hurry and came to Beijing more than ten days later than expected From the very beginning, Li Jingchen had a premonition that some things were slightly different.It was later found out that he really went to Wolf Mountain first to secretly investigate the cause of Tu Yunkai's death.After that, he tried to install Fei Congyi into the Eastern Palace in the name of promoting Yun Zhong, and she became alarmed, but she was still careless in the end.

This is Tu Yuanshan, a person who is as careful as a hair, and who is so patient and decisive that people admire him. He has figured out everything he wants to know, but on the surface he still doesn't agree with you. .He knew that Cen Zhu was the lover behind her back, but he chose not to? Tell the truth, because it was not time to tear his face apart.He knew the cause of Tu Yunkai's death, and Li Zhouxuan's true life experience, or should he not tell the truth, because it would be the best for the current situation of the Tu family?He doesn't have anything? Saying it, makes you always feel? He didn't see it.But they used one after another chilling means of revenge to make you feel the pain.

Li Jingchen was indeed in pain, and she woke up from the pain. This was the most important lesson she had learned in this half of her life. It made her fully understand that some dependence is not just drinking poison to quench thirst.Facing a ruthless and decisive opponent like Tu Yuanshan, only by being more ruthless than him can he get everything he wants.

"Then? It doesn't make any sense," said the previous general, struggling, "Even if Langshan can hide soldiers, but one hundred thousand people have to eat and drink, and they are all a group of big men. No? It’s made of clay, so there must be? Ha? Ha? Ha, how can there be no movement at all? Didn’t the court hear a little bit of wind?”

Lou Ren just wanted to slap him on the head. In front of the "Eldest Princess", he couldn't help but talk nonsense regardless of the occasion.However, even though his words were muddled, he hit the point.No matter how secretive the army is, it cannot communicate with the outside world. It is possible that there is no communication. As long as there is communication, there is a risk of being exposed.With Tu Yuanshan's personality, wouldn't he ignore such an important detail.

At this time, a calm voice said from behind: "Moyin County, where Langshan is located, the sheriff is Tu Yuanshan's wife-in-law. He was just recommended by the East Palace two years ago, and he has the same spirit as the Tu family, so he will naturally help him cover it up. .”

Everyone turned their heads and saw that the person who spoke was an inconspicuous scribe. After his reminder, the doubts in everyone's minds were resolved.But his words "recommended by the East Palace" are not bad, but it hurt some people's ears as soon as he said it.Military generals and civil servants are not the same after all, they are good at making noises, but that doesn't mean they have no other ideas after listening.

Lou Renyi? Check the atmosphere? That’s right, he hurriedly interrupted and said: “Han Shuji’s words are right? Followed Marquis Wen Song to fight the enemy, but he was seriously injured and still refused to go to the line of fire. Whether it is an enemy or a friend, it can be seen that it is the original heart, not whether it is connected or not. Is it? The shoulder of the "young general" was Tu Yuanmo's youngest son, Tu Yunliang, who also went out with his father this time and served under Li Pingzhu's command.

Everyone reacted, and they were still very face-saving, "Yes, yes, what General Lou said is very true. Brother Yunliang, don't take offense."

He deliberately skipped it? Don't you mention it in the East Palace? It's a relief for everyone.Just that? Han Feng seemed to be indifferent, with a half-smile.

Master Xu squinted at him, frowned slightly, and brought the topic back, "No? In any case, Tu Yuanshan has shown signs of rebellion at least a year ago. This time his background is not small. If you take No? There may be other moves in Jiankang City.”

Lou Ren suddenly thought again: "No? Okay? If Tu Yuanshan follows the plan of Guyang City and bury secret work in the capital, wouldn't we? It would be a waste of all our previous efforts."

Li Jingchen was very sure: "No? Yes. Before Pang Bingfang committed murder, he still had this possibility, but after that, the imperial court conducted a liquidation of the Tu family forces in Beijing. There is no cornerstone for him to make waves."

"Yeah, I almost forgot. Hey, this Tu Yuanshan is shooting himself in the foot." Lou Ren said with a smile, "Why wouldn't he? He would have thought that his own layout in the capital would be determined by his in-laws." It turned into a puddle of muddy water. No? I don’t know if he was pissed off when he saw his in-law escaped back.”

Junshi Xu shook his head: "No? It can be seen that even without Pang Bingfang, the impeachment of the military generals of the Northern Xinjiang Faction by the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the past year or so was enough for Tu Yuanshan to drink a pot. Can Pang Bingfang do it? The murder, the result It's all the same. The influence of Northern Xinjiang in the capital is already very difficult to penetrate. All this is due to Wen Songhou's entry into the capital. As long as he is there, the Tu family will not be safe in the capital for a day."

Lou Ren nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, I remember those impeachments, including our Lord Cen, who made more than ten memorials in the early court to offend Beijiang. I heard that the young Wen Songhou At that time, Tu Yuanshan was the only one to be targeted, so? He was almost closed to himself, like a mouse seeing a cat. Since he came to Beijing, Tu Yuanshan has really?

Master Xu smiled, stroked his beard and said, "According to my experience, some people are naturally afraid of a certain kind of people, and Marquis Wen Song is exactly the kind of people that can make Tu Yuanshan feel afraid in his heart. Not even Cen Zhi? yes."

"Why is this?" Lou Ren felt very strange.

"Maybe because they are 'similar' people, they know each other too well!" Master Xu didn't want to drag the topic too far, "Wen Songhou Wen Neng governs the country, and Wu Neng is the most recognized Confucian general in the world. Tu Yuanshan Although they also advertise themselves as 'Confucian generals?', there is still a difference between the two."

"I understand. What does the military division mean? Is Wen Songhou a real Confucian general? Tu Yuanshan's Confucianism is just pretending. The fake ones are naturally afraid of meeting the real ones."

"It can also be understood that way."

Lou Ren slapped his hands together, "That's right, I have felt for a long time that Tu Yuanshan often gives people a strange feeling when he talks and does things, but in fact, it is fake inside and out. Wen Songhou Huo It’s more true, even the emperor dares to scold you when you get angry! I still remember? When Cen Zhi’s accident happened, only the eldest princess and him dared to write a letter to plead for Cen Ping. Ping, alas, what a pity.”

Under the eldest princess' tent, Cen's prey was never a taboo topic, so Lou Ren's subordinates always talked about Cen's prey freely.But now there are other people in the tent after all, Lou Ren had no choice but to stop.But it's okay to see everyone's reaction.He couldn't help thinking that if Tu Yuanshan was wiped out this time, Cen Zhi would probably be rehabilitated!

"Everyone," at this moment the "Eldest Princess" suddenly took a deep look at all the people present with an unprecedented solemn expression, and all those who were still writing and those who were still standing stood up in silence.Listen to the command.

"What is Gu going to say next? Please keep these words in your mind. If we can't take the northern border this time, or if Tu Yuanshan takes the capital, the northwest and southwest borders that are watching will quickly join forces with him. Or It is to rule by demarcating the frontier, asking the court for more bargaining chips, or overthrowing the country and competing for three points. No matter what the situation is, Yurui Jiangshan will be torn apart, and the people will be reduced to chaos? Dogs. And you and I will both Will become the country's sinners. Therefore, we can't retreat even a single step. Not only can we not retreat, but the court can't retreat either."

"I know everyone here, there are still some people who don't obey the order to withdraw the troops. Today, Gu just said it and said it. No? It's Gu? I want to return to the capital, but now, what we have done Every decision will affect the future of Yurui, and it will affect your future generations. EMI. Whether the imperial court can keep it well? Building Kangcheng is also very important to us. For the imperial court's century-old plan, one step alone I won't shrink back. I don't? I need your approval. I'm just expressing my attitude here. As long as I'm in command for a day, the entire army has only one goal, which is to win the northern border. Wait have you understood?"

"promise!"

The "Eldest Princess" seldom uttered such inspiring words, and these words seemed to mean breaking the boat. The generals were greatly encouraged by hearing this, and expressed their willingness to pledge their allegiance one after another, and their perseverance was stronger than before.

Lou Ren definitely contributed to the flames and got a good hand. He looked at the map with piercing eyes, and said to everyone: "As long as we take the northern border, it will be a great shock to the other two borders. Everyone, from Qing Zongping After the chaos, can the world truly move towards unity? It depends on our generation."

"That's right!" All the generals were gearing up.

Seeing that the goal has been achieved, Li Jingchen accepted it: "Next, I will announce the main battle plan of our army for the next month."

After all the generals left one after another, Junshi Xu stayed alone.

"What else does Master Xu need to do?"

Master Xu suddenly bowed deeply to her, "I have been under the eldest princess' tent for more than [-] years. Only the last battle to wipe out Gu Rentu did not serve the eldest princess because of his illness. I have never served the eldest princess before." Have you ever seen the eldest princess 'disobedience'? What does His Majesty mean?"

Li Jingchen's expression froze slightly, "So...?"

"Your Highness can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me."

Li Jingchen felt a chill in his heart, and then he was relieved, "How did you find out?"

Junshi Xu stroked his beard and said, "It's very simple. We have been besieging the city for so long, and the Tu family didn't use the empress dowager to blackmail the entire army. There is an obvious reason for not using such a good bargaining chip. It's just that the bargaining chip has already escaped. In addition, a few days ago, the eldest princess often worried about the safety of His Highness, but one day she didn't mention it again, and her expression relaxed, so I guessed that His Highness is probably safe. After that, the princess I have repeatedly made some unusual decisions, suspected to have been instructed by an expert. The minister guessed that His Highness may have come to the barracks. It was not until just now that His Highness inadvertently showed the king's demeanor, and the minister concluded that the person in front of him Not? It's the eldest princess."

Li Jingchen twitched the corners of his mouth, "The military division is really observant."

"I take the liberty to ask, is the eldest princess still okay?"

"She's my aunt, what do you think?"

"I shouldn't have asked this question. It's just that His Highness's move is too risky."

"Is this the palace? It's the end."

"I have absolutely no intention of accusing Your Highness. It's just that the Eldest Princess is a proud and arrogant person, and she can't stand being betrayed the most. If I offend His Highness because of this, I hope His Highness can understand the Eldest Princess." His temperament is tolerant one to two. I mean, even if the Eldest Princess and His Highness have complaints, they will never hinder His Highness's ascent to the throne, and I can guarantee this with the head of the minister."

Li Jing was silent, she knew that the other party was warning her.Before doing this, she knew that she might lose Li Pingzhu's support, but she couldn't control that much anymore.

"After this battle, I will personally plead guilty to the Eldest Princess. I also ask Master Xu to keep this secret for the time being."
