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

The main force was taken away, and Chun Yuzhen had only [-] soldiers and horses guarding the Cangzhou camp. He was afraid that Xiaoqu would take the opportunity to attack and worried about the battle situation ahead, so he stayed up all night and waited.

At dawn, Chunyujing came out with bloody hands, holding a confession, "Cen Xuan made a move."

Chunyu Jue took the confession form, and just after looking at it twice, he felt that his blood was coagulated and his whole body was stiff.In his confession, Cen Xuan said that the Empress Dowager ordered him to open the city and let the Boteng soldiers enter after Qin Ran killed Fang Huai.

The queen mother's original plan was that when Liangzhou fell into the hands of the Boten people, she would instruct some courtiers to force the emperor to take back Yan Xun's military power and let Cen An lead the army to quell the chaos.At that time, the Boten people will collapse without fighting, and will tell the "truth" that they and Yan Xun have conspired for a long time.

As for what the queen mother promised to the Poten people, he didn't know.

"How could the Queen Mother do such a thing?!" Chunyu was shocked and angry, "Just to seize the military power of the general, she can hand over Liangzhou to others, and ignore hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Liangzhou?!"

Chun Yujing said: "The queen mother is going too far this time. But I am a little surprised that although the queen mother said that she didn't like the general and was on guard against him before, she didn't do it. Why did she suddenly come up with such a method now? Come on, do you want to take back the military power of the general at such a high price?"

Chunyu Yu was also puzzled, and said: "Yes, the general has been fighting at the border for a while, and he hasn't provoked the Queen Mother, what's wrong with her?"

"Fortunately, the emperor did not agree to let Cen An lead the army. Otherwise, when Cen An came, the Boten people would frame the general again, and he would not be cleared by jumping into the Yellow River."

It's even more terrifying to think about it in depth.Yan Xun refused to hand over Qin Ran, just because of fellowship and sympathy for what happened to Qin Ran.If the Boteng people said that they had colluded with Yan Xun for a long time, then in the eyes of others, Yan Xun might have another reason for protecting Qin Ran.Furthermore, they never sent troops to take back Liangzhou, but they didn't dare to take risks because of insufficient troops, but if Cen An immediately "recaptured" Liangzhou as soon as he came, would Yan Xun be unable to send troops, or was he unwilling to send troops?

Chunyu Xuan was silent for a moment, and said: "You must keep an eye on Cen Xuan and Yan Zhi, they are the key witnesses."

Chunyujing said "um", then suddenly said: "Why did the general suddenly lead troops to attack Liangzhou?"

"Why else, Liangzhou should have been taken back."

"If you don't tell me, I can guess that Mu Fengyi has returned, but Bai Yu has not. He is trapped in Liangzhou, right?" Chun Yujing was a little upset, "The general has always acted safely, why now..."

Chunyu Xuan sighed and did not explain.

Chun Yujing said again: "Now that things have happened, are you still looking towards that Bai Yu? He made it clear that he was using his age as a cover to gain trust by pretending to be stupid. From the first time he appeared in front of the general, he acted like a An ignorant, naive and willful child who deceived everyone. But in fact? Since he appeared, look at how many things have happened! Apart from anything else, if it weren't for him, the two brothers of the General People don't make trouble like this. If Yan Zun was used because of this, wouldn't the general be defenseless? Besides, why do you think he didn't want you to accompany him when he went to Liangzhou, but asked Mu Fengyi? ——He knew you would pass on Letter to the prime minister!"

"Brother, you're thinking too much." Chunyu Xuan said.

"I don't think much at all. It's fine if he is an ordinary person, but he is the emperor's only younger brother, and he is the candidate for the crown prince promised by the late emperor. He will definitely kill the general!"

Chun Yuzhen didn't want to discuss this with him anymore, so he changed the subject and said, "There are only 8000 people in the army now, and the main force of Xiaoqu is not far from here. It's been a night, why is there still no movement?"

They were almost certain that Xiao Qu would attack the camp, and they were all prepared to defend desperately when Xiao Qu attacked, but until now, there was no sign of Xiao Qu.Both of them were a little dazed.

Chunyu Jing also said: "It stands to reason that they should come."

Xiaoqu did come, but was stopped on the way.

In the afternoon, the spies came to report that they found the bodies of Xiaoqu soldiers fifteen miles away, more than [-].

"What?!" Chunyu was startled, "Can you see clearly?"

The spy said: "I see clearly, it is indeed Xiaoqu's main force. We also caught a few wounded soldiers who couldn't run, and asked them carefully."

Chunyu Jing frowned and said, "More than [-] weapons? The people who stopped them had quite a lot of troops. Where did we get so many soldiers? Except those stationed in the three prefectures of Cangqing Dynasty, didn't they all go to attack Liangzhou?"

The spy said: "Report to the general, it is not our soldiers and horses who blocked the small canal, but... Weiyan's soldiers and horses!"

"..."

Chunyu Xuan and Chunyu Jing were so astonished, it seemed as if countless thunderbolts exploded above their heads one by one.

Before Yan Xun left, he handed Gao Yi a letter, and asked Gao Yi to take his handwriting to ask Weiyan next door for help.

Yan Xun and Yan Zun's biological mother, Princess Chunyi, is the daughter of the old Prince Regent of Weiyan. Their elder sister married Yu Ze, the eldest son of the Marshal of Weiyan's military and horse family. Yu Ze is currently stationed at the border of Weiyan. , very close to them.

The relationship between Yan Xun and this brother-in-law has always been very good. After hearing what happened in Liangzhou, he had intended to send troops to help, but Yan Xun never agreed due to various concerns.

"This must be what the general meant. We didn't have enough troops, so he asked Weiyan for help." Chunyu Jing said.

Chunyu Xuan raised his head suddenly, "...It's broken."

At sunset, all [-] Poteng cavalrymen in Tiejin Mountain were wiped out, and the general Jiang Qishi was captured alive by Mu Fengyi in Dushui River. Poteng lost [-] soldiers and horses overnight, and only [-] remained in Liangzhou City. garrison.

Yan Xun returned to the camp, rectified his army and horses, and attacked the city with all his strength. At dawn the next day, Liangzhou City was destroyed.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Xun led all the elites under his command to go west along the Dushui River, chasing down the remnants of Boten's troops. The army went straight for tens of miles, and reached the Yazhang behind Boten, capturing Boten Khan Shashna and his relatives alive. All his cavalry were killed, and the old and weak, women and children were included in the King of the Zhou Dynasty.

So far, Botten has wiped out the clan.

Bai Yu tried hard to move her body, but her body didn't seem to be her own, it was so heavy that she couldn't move.

Someone fed him warm ginseng soup, and someone beside him said: "This young master is fine, but his body is a little weak, so he needs to be taken care of. His wounds are all flesh wounds, and this old man will come to treat him every day. He changed his medicine and he will recover soon."

The people around Baiyu said: "Okay, thank you doctor."

It was Chunyu Xuan's voice.Bai Yu tried her best to open her eyes, but because her eyes had been closed for too long, she was not used to the strong light for a while.Chunyu Xuan's hand vaguely blocked the light in front of his eyes, "Don't worry, get used to it after a while before opening your eyes."

It was already afternoon, and the clear light was scattered lazily and silently.Bai Yu looked around, it looked like an inn, not a tent in a military camp.

His voice was hoarse when he spoke, "Where is this?"

"Liangzhou." Chunyu said, "Liangzhou has been taken back."

Bai Yu said happily, "That's great."

Chunyu Xuan nodded, "Taking back Liangzhou, the problem of food and grass will be solved, and the original defenders in the city will be brought back. Now everything is over."

"Has Cen Xuan confessed?"

Chunyu Xuan said: "It's done, he said that everything is the empress dowager's envoy, just to suppress the general."

"Sure enough." Bai Yu was not surprised at all.

The matter seemed to be over, but everyone couldn't relax.Even if he knew that the queen mother was the mastermind behind the scenes and that she was the emperor's biological mother, what could the emperor do to her?

And there was another layer of faint anxiety in it. Seeing Chunyu's thoughtful expression, Bai Yu became more and more flustered.It seemed that something was wrong, something he hadn't thought of.

"General Chunyu, is everything really over?" Bai Yu asked.

Chunyu closed his eyes and sighed, "The soldiers and horses in the hands of the general, even if they manage to capture Liangzhou, are definitely not enough to guard against Xiao Qu's main force attacking from behind."

Bai Yu quietly waited for his next words.

"So he asked Gao Yi to take his handwriting and borrow soldiers from his brother-in-law—the borrowed soldiers from Weiyan."

Bai Yu was shocked suddenly, as if being poured down by a bucket of ice water, it was so cold that Tian Ling Gai shivered, "What?!"

In the inn, Tang Jinzhi put on a pajamas and got off the bed, and gently hugged Yan Zun from behind, "Are you sober? Do you want to ask me to blame you?"

Yan Zun froze for a moment, then reached out and patted the back of his hand, "Put on your clothes, be careful not to catch a cold."

Tang Jinzhi smiled sweetly when he heard this sentence, "I'm not cold when you're here."

Yan Zun smiled lightly, "Really?"

Tang Jinzhi sat on his lap, and whispered in his ear: "If you don't believe me, then we will have some activities together, and it will definitely not be cold."

Yan Zun paused, picked Tang Jinzhi up, put him on the bed, and leaned over to press him.

Tang Jinzhi looked forward to it tenderly, but Yan Zun didn't move any further. He got up and sat down at the table, poured himself a cup of tea, "Jinzhi, I have a question for you."

Tang Jinzhi also sat up and put on his coat, "What?"

Yan Zun's eyes fell on Tang Jinzhi's face, but it seemed empty and without substance.His voice seemed to be floating, "If I did something to hurt you in order to get you, would you blame me?"

Tang Jinzhi immediately said: "No."

He got up, walked to Yan Zun's side, gently stroked his face, "But Rong Ling, you know, only I can't."

Yan Zun was silent for a moment, leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes.

That night, he got news from the masked man, saying that Yan Xun had breached Liangzhou, and Zhu Sha was already in a hurry like a stray dog, like a fish slipping through the net, now is the best time to capture her.So Yan Zun went.

With a "bang", a person slammed in through the window, smashing the window grille to the ground, and fell heavily to the ground, holding his chest and vomiting blood.

The hairpin that tied the man's hair was loose, and a cinnabar mole between his eyebrows was as red as blood.

Yan Zun stretched his right hand, rolled in from the outside, and sat on the window sill.

"Any last words?"

Zhu Sha raised her head and took a few breaths with difficulty.Her voice was dry and hoarse, "Don't worry, let's make a deal, how about it?"

Yan Zun snorted lightly, "You are lying on the ground, what qualifications do you have to negotiate terms with me? You beat Li Guang like that, do you think I will let you go?"

Zhu Sha raised one corner of her mouth, "Yes, I tortured him, but you know the purpose of sneaking into Liangzhou knowing the danger, and for whom, you know very well."

Yan Zun's face changed.

Zhu Sha smiled triumphantly, "It seems that I guessed it right. You are actually more unwilling than me, right? The only people you like are others, and you can't look down on you. Of course you don't want to blame Bai Yu, but you don't complain Xun? You have been overwhelmed by him since you were a child. He is capable, he has made great achievements and has been promoted to a noble. You are what others call a dude. Now even your sweetheart has been snatched away by him. You have nothing to compare with him ..."

"Enough!" Yan Zun suddenly became angry.

Zhu Sha looked at his expression, slowly calmed down her breathing, straightened her clothes and stood up, "Since you know that I am a pawn specially used by the Queen Mother to deal with Yan Xun, why are you in a hurry to get rid of me? My existence is only good for you."

Yan Zun looked at her coldly, "He is my elder brother."

Zhu Sha nodded, "Yes, he is your own elder brother, even if it is for his parents, you can't kill him. But if he loses his military power, official position, and no longer looks so majestic, you will be far better than him." Him. By then, your sweetheart will know who to pick. Isn't that what you want?"

The room fell silent, Yan Zun could not see anything unusual in his eyes, a ray of moonlight shone through the long window, covering his face.
