The King of Liang, the feudal lords outside the town, and the generals inside

Baiyu asked Qin Ran to send military rations to the Northwest, and it took three days for Qizheng to find out about it. When Yuchi Yuanhe came to tell him about it, he was also a little surprised and a little funny, "The neighbor to the north of Jizhou is Ai Qin Ran handed over the rations to the governor there, and he will probably be back soon. I said why Qin Ran hasn’t been seen everywhere these days, so that’s why.”

Zheng Zheng said: "I'm not surprised at all, this is something Li Guang can do, but I didn't expect Ye Zhiyan to help him like this. At first, he only persuaded me occasionally, but now he has completely turned his heart to Li Guang. He What are you going to do?"

Yuchi Yuanhe shook his head, and said: "It seems that the Taoist priest didn't beat him enough, he looks docile, but he's a copper pea in his bones."

Jizheng glanced at him, "There are some things that are inconvenient for me to come forward, so I revealed his little secret to you. I thought you could do a good job."

"I have done everything I should do, maybe the problem is rooted in the root cause." Yuchi Yuanhe said puzzled, "Since you already know that Ye Zhiyan is facing King Liang and is unwilling to listen to you, why do you keep him? By King Liang's side?"

Kui Zheng said: "Of course he is useful, and you will know when the time comes. The problem now is that you and I both know that Li Guang is not determined to seize the throne at all, and his real plan is not difficult to guess. Qin Ran and Mu Fengyi completely listened to his command. If at the last step, but because of Li Guang's wrong decision-making, the success fell short——he has fulfilled his wish, are you going to die?"

"Haven't we discussed this issue a long time ago?" Yuchi Yuanhe said.

Kui Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, got up and approached Yuchi Yuanhe, "That was at the beginning, but the situation is different now. At that time, I thought that Yan Xun and Li Guang's trust between each other would be gone when they reached this point, and even They turned against each other, but things were completely unexpected. The more this happened, the less Li Guang would be of one mind with us. When this batch of military rations is delivered to Yan Xun, it will be worth a thousand words. Do you think Yan Xun will help us, Against the court?"

"No." Yuchi Yuanhe said without thinking.

"Yan Xun is the biggest obstacle to our success. If he doesn't help us, he will be our enemy. If one day we meet him on the battlefield, are you sure you will win?"

Yuchi Yuanhe didn't speak.

Chi Zheng nodded, "It seems not. Then what should we do?"

"The empress dowager's people have already tried to kill him, but they failed. The emperor doesn't believe in the design to frame him as a collaborator. What else can I do?"

Kui Zheng smiled, "Come here with your ears."

After a while, Qin Ran and Mu Fengyi agreed on the next series of battle plans, and pointed them to Bai Yu one by one on the map.Qin Ran said: "Your Highness, after capturing Jizhou, we got food, grass and military pay in the city, which greatly alleviated our food shortage problem. After the beginning of spring, we can send troops. First attack Zhangju Mountain, and then break Jieyangzha, the guard of Pingzhou City here is called Dong Ci. Mu Fengyi has an old friend with him for many years. Maybe he can be persuaded to join His Highness. Whether he surrenders or not, we must take Pingzhou City, and then the Central Plains With the door open, we can lead an elite cavalry to take Shouzhou. Since then, nearly half of the territory of Dazhou has been included in our pocket. Shouzhou has blocked the communication between the north and the south. If your highness wants to be safe, you can rest for a year or two Cross the south and go down, or simply go all out and open the gate of Shangjing."

After hearing this, Bai Yu turned his gaze back to the northwest corner, and said, "If Cen An leads troops to block our attack, I'm not worried that we won't be able to defeat him, but..."

Qin Ran looked at Mu Fengyi with some embarrassment, and motioned for him to speak.

Mu Fengyi nodded, and said: "Your Highness, we just got the news that Duke Yong Ming escaped from the prison and disappeared, which means that the Yan family has been convicted of collaborating with the enemy. The emperor has sent Cen An to the northwest to replace the general. military power."

After he finished speaking, he didn't make another sound for a long time, and thoughtfully gave Bai Yu enough time to react.Bai Yu was as silent as a chilling cicada, she opened her mouth a few times but couldn't speak.

Qin Ran added again: "The outbreak of the strange disease in the general's army has become more serious, and it has almost doubled every day. About [-]% of the sergeants have fallen ill, and even Lu Xing is also sick. If so, the general The general still found another way. Instead of confronting the enemy directly, he took away most of the cattle and sheep in Xiaoqu and Nanwu. The nomads had no cattle and sheep, and no land to cultivate. They had nothing to eat all winter. They were tossing I can’t get up anymore. This battle has been won, but the general has become a criminal.”

"The strange disease is still breaking out?" Bai Yu stood up suddenly, "How is this possible? I obviously put medicine in the army ration, and they should be fine after taking it!"

Qin Ran said: "The last general doesn't know what's going on, that's what the news we got from exploring the horse. But Cen An will soon arrive in the northwest to take over the military power of the general. This is a good thing for us. Cen An He's just an idiot, he doesn't know how to fight."

Bai Yu couldn't sit still anymore, and anxiously paced back and forth in the room, "What about Yan Xun? He clearly won the battle, so why did he become a criminal? He didn't send troops to help me at all, so he should have been washed away. The suspicion of collaborating with the enemy is right!"

"Your Highness..." Mu Fengyi wanted to comfort him, but he couldn't find the words after thinking for a long time.

But Qin Ran said: "Your Highness, don't worry, even if the General loses his military power, the Emperor will not kill him. As long as we fight back to Shangjing as soon as possible, and His Highness becomes the Emperor, the General will be fine?"

Bai Yu paused, turned her head to look at Qin Ran, her face was a bit strange.

Mu Fengyi said: "If the general leads the troops outside, no one can touch him. If he returns to Beijing like this, can the Cen family let him go? I am afraid that at that time, the emperor will be powerless to help. Besides, if it is not clear, they can still come secretly." of."

Mu Fengyi's words reminded Bai Yu of that explosion, bomb.The medicine was buried under Yan Xun's tent of the Chinese army, just a little short...

His heart ached in pain.

"I really want to do something for him, even if I can help him a little bit, but it turns out that I can't do anything. I'm a waste at all. Why am I so useless?" Bai Yu's eyes froze a little. Red, and watery, as if drinking too much wine.

Ye Zhiyan had a cold and was still recuperating. He sat up straight with difficulty and comforted him: "Your Highness, don't blame yourself like this. It's not your fault. You have tried your best."

The grievances accumulated over the past few days burst forth like a bank burst, Bai Yu couldn't bear it any longer, and wept into tears.

"You don't know, I miss him so much, I think he's going crazy, I don't want to care about anything now, I just want to see him..."

Ye Zhiyan sighed, and waited for Bai Yu to calm down a little before he said softly: "Your Highness, you are very smart, but your city is not deep enough. The city I am talking about is not insidious and cunning, but you must be strong. General Not by your side, can't protect you, and you have nothing to do for him, you can only do what you should do. Love is not a bad thing, but many times it can't solve all problems, right?"

Bai Yu wiped away his tears and asked him, "You mean, I should focus on the war and stop thinking about him?"

"I believe His Highness can weigh these two matters." Ye Zhiyan said.

Bai Yu didn't cry anymore, she lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.

Ye Zhiyan said again: "Or, when you are confused, you can also think about it, if the general encountered the same situation, what would he do?"

After a while, Bai Yu raised his head and smiled at Ye Zhiyan.The sunlight came in through the panes and evenly shone on his body, making his lips more beautiful and his teeth more dazzled.

At night, Ye Zhiyan drank the medicine and fell into a deep sleep, when the quilt was lifted suddenly, he shivered and opened his eyes slightly.Sure enough, it was still this person.

Yuchi Yuanhe smelled of alcohol, but he was not confused, but his eyes were very clear, and he tore Ye Zhiyan's skirt with two strokes.

When he just woke up, he had no strength in his hands, and Ye Zhiyan was ill again, unable to protect his clothes at all.He could only beg: "I'm sick, can you stop doing this?"

Yuchi Yuanhe turned a deaf ear.He said: "There is an elephant house in this Jizhou city, which is famous far and wide. I just went there, but I found that the rabbits there are not as good as you."

Ye Zhiyan looked at him without speaking.

Yuchi Yuanhe went on to say: "It can be seen that the people here have never seen the world, yet they dare to tell me that there are all kinds of elephant girls' houses, and they will definitely satisfy me. Look, there is no one like you there, you If I go, won’t I be able to make a lot of money this night?”

Ye Zhiyan was in a trance, a little absent-minded, he lay quietly, listened to Yuchi Yuanhe's words word by word, and then slowly understood in his heart.

He understood, sat up and got dressed.

It wasn't until he was about to open the door to go out that Yuchi Yuanhe grabbed him, "Where are you going?"

"Go pick up customers." Ye Zhiyan turned his head and looked at him strangely, "You said I could make a lot of money, didn't you?"

Yuchi Yuanhe was stunned, the muscles on his face twitched, he gritted his teeth and said with a sneer, "You can't wait? Are you disgusting?"

Ye Zhiyan couldn't understand again, he looked down at Yuchi Yuanhe holding his hand, and felt his head hurt.

The clothes he just put on were stripped off again, his hands were tied behind his back, and he knelt on the head of the bed. Yuchi Yuanhe stuffed the jade gesture he had brought into it, and then pinched his chin to force him to open his mouth.

Ye Zhiyan kept silent all the time, just accepting everything, letting Yuchi Yuanhe humiliate and torture him.For some reason, he remembered the moment when Yuchi Yuanhe blocked Gao Yi's sword and pulled him into his arms that day.The temperature on his body was very warm, if he hadn't called himself "Your Highness" later, Ye Zhiyan would have been willing to let him hug him.

Yuchi Yuanhe didn't touch him this time, before he left, he left a comment, "I think you're dirty."

Ye Zhiyan knelt on the ground without moving, and gradually fell asleep leaning against the head of the bed.
