Chapter 687 Joy

Du Zheng sent 20,000 troops to Yongzhou overnight, and fought with Du Zheng inside and outside, preparing to take Yongzhou.

Before dawn, Du Zheng received Yun Qing's handwritten letter, and immediately said to the guards beside him: "Go invite General Cui." There is a mission coming, Cui Mo naturally can't rest anymore.

Cui Mo came over soon, and asked while getting dressed, "What did the prince say in the letter?"

Du Zheng said: "My lord asked you to bring 20,000 soldiers and 4,000 cavalry to assist Wang Xinyang in taking Bozhou, and then go back the same way to take Xiayi."

After half reading the letter, Cui Mo said, "My lord said he wanted to attack Luzhou! Luzhou is only more than five hundred miles away from Jinling, so it's not easy for you to fight this battle." Jinling's wealth is famous all over the world. It will make a fortune. But also because he is too famous, this battle is not easy to fight.

Du Zheng said helplessly: "The lord wrote at the end of the letter that he is already on the way and will arrive tomorrow." He just paused before reading the letter.

Cui Mo hurriedly lowered his head and continued to read the letter. After reading the letter, he said with a smile: "It turns out that the prince is going to attack Luzhou himself! Then I don't have to worry about it." Yun Qing's prestige in the army is irreplaceable, as long as he is in the crowd confidence.

Du Zheng wasn't angry either, because he was also Yunqing's most loyal supporter. Du Zheng smiled and said, "Before the prince told you to bypass Fuyang, I was sweating." This move is really too risky.

Cui Mo's thoughts were completely different from Du Zheng's. He was very excited when he knew about Yunqing's plan. This kind of fighting is exciting and delicious! But he didn't dare to say this to Du Zheng, lest he be lectured by Du Zheng.

Lou Qingyun got the news that Yunqing left Lanyang with 20,000 soldiers and horses. Lou Qingyun said with an unchanged look: "If he really attacked Caozhou, I would doubt if it was Yunqing himself."

His confidant Huang An asked a little strangely: "What is the purpose of Yunqing doing this?" With Yunqing's identity, it is impossible to lead troops to Lanyang for no reason, and they stayed in Lanyang for a few days.

Also because of Yunqing's arrival, the atmosphere in Caozhou has been very tense. Because once the war started, it would be a vicious battle, but unexpectedly, Yun Qing left just like that.

Lou Qingyun said: "The purpose of his stay in Lanyang should be to confuse us. His purpose of sending troops this time is in the south of the Yangtze River. As for what he is going to do, it has nothing to do with us." His task is to defend Shandong. What happened to Jiangnan had nothing to do with him.

Huang An said: "General, Jiangnan falling into Yunqing's hands is very bad for us."

Lou Qingyun said: "There is no chance of winning this battle in Jiangnan. The generals in Jiangnan have their own schemes. They can't be of one mind, and the prince can send 200,000 yuan to defend Jiangnan." Jiangnan is scattered. , and the enemy worked together from top to bottom, there was no suspense about winning or losing.

Huang An couldn't help but said: "It would be great if we sent troops to occupy Jiangnan." It's really not reconciled that such a big piece of fat fell into Yunqing's hands!

Lou Qingyun said: "The south of the Yangtze River is still under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. How can the prince send troops? And once we send troops, we will fight with Yu Baojia, and Yunqing will only benefit from it."

Huang An asked: "Then just watch Yunqing swallow Jiangnan?"

Lou Qingyun shook his head and said: "This is not something you should worry about." Of course, it is not something he should worry about.

On the morning of the third day after Fuyang fell, Yan Wushuang got the news. Yan Wushuang smashed the ink jade unicorn paperweight on the bracelet to the ground, scolded angrily, "You're raising a bunch of trash." The thousand cavalrymen dispatched, and none of their people knew what was not trash.

Meng Nian was also in a heavy heart. Four thousand cavalry could not be trained for three or four years. But for so many years, they have not received any news.

This is hidden too deep. Meng Nian said, "My lord, it won't help if you get angry now." If Fuyang is lost, Anhui cannot be kept. "

Yan Wushuang said gloomyly: "You're wrong. It's not that Anhui can't be saved, but the whole of Jiangnan can't be kept. Yunqing will fight Luzhou next, and then Jinling."

Meng Nian said: "My lord, I don't know where General Qiu has retreated to? If he retreats to Luzhou, maybe Luzhou can be saved." In fact, Meng Nian knew that this possibility was very small.

Yan Wushuang said: "It is impossible for Dashan to withdraw to Luzhou. If he wants to withdraw, he will only withdraw to Shandong." Before letting Qiu Dashan go to Anhui, Qiu Dashan was a little reluctant. With the matter of the cavalry this time, he definitely didn't want to stay in Jiangnan.

Meng Nian said: "General Lian is still in Jiangxi! Once Suzhou falls into Yunqing's hands, General Lian will be in danger then." Falling Suzhou into Yunqing's hands cut off the connection between the capital and Jiangnan. This is why Yunqing attacked Suzhou first.

Lian Hetai is not Yan Wushuang's confidant, but Yan Wushuang is used because of his upright character and jealousy.

Yan Wushuang said: "I don't care about so much now, I just hope that he can escape smoothly in the future." It is impossible to say that you don't feel sorry for the 100,000 army. It's just that until now, he has no better way.

Meng Nian hesitated and said, "My lord, in case Yu Baojia asks us for help, shall we send troops to support?" According to Meng Nian, he does not agree to send troops to support.

Yan Wushuang said coldly: "To support Jiangnan, we have to dispatch troops from Shandong and Hebei. Liu Yongnan is still watching, once he dispatches troops and horses, Liu Yongnan will attack Hebei. At that time, the capital will be in danger. "He didn't have the spirit of sacrificing himself to help others.

Just as he was talking, he heard Aqian say outside: "My lord, there is news from Jiangnan."

Seeing that Yan Wushuang's expression was wrong, Meng Nian hurriedly asked, "My lord, what's the matter?" No matter how bad it was, it was the fall of Jiangnan, so there was no need to be so angry.

Yan Wushuang almost gritted his teeth and said: "Yu Chunhao's staff guessed that Yunqing would use cavalry to attack Fuyang, but Yu Chunhao and Yu Baojia did not tell Qiu Dashan their guess." If they said, Qiu Dashan With precautions, Fuyang will not lose, but will be able to destroy Yunqing's cavalry.

Meng Nian asked in disbelief, "Impossible? It's not good for Baojia to hide this matter."

Yan Wushuang sneered and said, "He probably thought that Qiu Dashan would be like the trash under his command, and would run away when he heard the northwest cavalry attack." It was because Fuyang was so important that he sent Qiu Dashan to defend. Unexpectedly, Fuyang would be lost because of Yu Baojia's villainous heart. To have expected this result, he should not have formed an alliance with Yu Baojia in the first place.

When Meng Nian heard this, his expression was also very ugly.

Yan Wushuang said: "I spent so much energy planning for them in vain." There is a pig teammate, and no amount of planning will help.

Meng Nian was silent.

With the defeat in the battle ahead, Yan Wushuang was in a bad mood, and the entire Yan Palace was in a state of low pressure. Fortunately, there was good news at noon that day that Mrs. Xiang was pregnant.

Nanny Gui said anxiously: "Madam, Mrs. Xiang already has a son. If she gives birth to another child, she will have to climb on the head of the empress." Wanting to get rid of the child in Mrs. Xiang's belly, She has a lot of methods.

Yuchen glanced at Nanny Gui and said, "Mommy, as long as Achi and Abao's positions are not threatened, Mrs. Xiang will not be able to climb over my head."

Nanny Gui was a little impatient: "Your Majesty, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case!" The prince is very dissatisfied with the son's inability to practice martial arts due to physical reasons, which also makes the son's position very unstable.

Yuchen shook his head and said, "Once the lord finds out about the action, we cannot afford the consequences."

Seeing that Nanny Gui didn't speak, Yuchen knew that she hadn't given up: "Mommy, there are many eyes of the prince in the backyard. If you do something, you can't hide it from the prince." Yan Wushuang is not only worried about the people under his command, but also treats them Various surveillance. People were also released in the backyard, not only to guard against spies who sneaked in, but also to guard against any moths from the women in the backyard.

Nanny Gui hesitated, and said after a while: "As long as we are careful, we should be able to hide it from the prince."

Yuchen shook his head and said, "Nurse, you must not have such thoughts." Every time thinking of Yan Wushuang's murderous eyes, and what Yan Wushuang did to her back then, Yuchen felt a burst of fear. Not to mention getting rid of Yan Wushuang's heir, even if he was asked to do something against Yan Wushuang, she would not dare.

After a pause, Yuchen said: "Mother, I would rather let Xiangshi give birth to the child than you. Besides, there is no Mrs. Xiang, and there are other women who give birth to the prince."

Nanny Gui retorted in her heart, and said, "Since the empress is unwilling, then forget it." Even if Yuchen is unwilling, why would she bother to be such a villain.

On this day, Yuchen thought that Yan Wushuang would stay with Mrs. Xiang, after all, Mrs. Xiang was pregnant. Unexpectedly, Yan Wushuang came to her not long after dark.

Yuchen didn't hide his emotions, and called out with a surprised expression: "My lord."

Yan Wushuang was in a bad mood. Seeing Yuchen like this, he said coldly, "What? Is this king annoying you?"

Yuchen shook his head hurriedly and said: "The prince can come, but the concubine is too happy to be happy, how could he be bored. It's just that Mrs. Xiang is pregnant, and the concubine thought that the prince would go to accompany Mrs. Xiang."

Yan Wushuang's expression softened slightly, and he said: "There are so many maids and women around her, and some of them are accompanied." If Mrs. Xiang heard this, she would probably vomit blood, how could this husband be the same as the maids and women!

Yuchen saw that Yan Wushuang looked very tired, so he said carefully: "My lord, you look very tired, go to rest early!"

Yan Wushuang nodded.

Yuchen originally thought that Yan Wushuang would go to bed after taking a bath, but unexpectedly Yan Wushuang was so excited this day, she finally couldn't bear it and passed out, and when she woke up, it was already the next day.

Nanny Gui looked at Yuchen's body with bruises and purple spots, and her eyes were red: "Your Majesty, this is too insignificant." How can you be so troublesome!

Yuchen shook his head and said, "It's not that Mammy doesn't know that my body will leave marks if I touch it." Yan Wushuang has many tricks on the bed, but he never abused her.

Nanny Gui hurriedly said: "The medicated bath is ready, Madam can go take a bath." After finishing speaking, Nanny Gui asked cautiously: "Madam, don't you want to take the anti-child medicine this time?" Although the two years were not as favored as before, Yan Wushuang stayed with her five or six times a month. But since Achi and Abao, Yuchen has never been pregnant again, because she has been taking child-avoiding medicine.

Yuchen shook his head and said, "Mommy, I'm already thirty and I don't want to take any more risks." Being too old, childbirth is very dangerous. I didn't want to give birth before, but now I don't dare to give birth.

After hearing this, Nanny Gui didn't speak any more.

While taking a bath, Yuchen remembered that Yan Wushuang was in a bad state last night, so he thought about ordering: "My lord was in a bad mood yesterday. Mommy, go ask and see what happened outside?"

Nanny Gui said: "Fuyang has been breached, and the prince is furious about it." She only heard the news last night.

Yuchen showed fear on his face, and said: "It's not that there are 250,000 elite soldiers guarding Fuyang, and the guard is General Qiu, who has experienced many battles. How could Yunqing break it so easily?"

Nanny Gui shook her head and said, "I'm not too sure about the specific situation." These news were revealed by the servant who followed Yan Wushuang. No matter how much, the boy didn't say anything.

Yuchen looked worried, and said: "Fuyang is captured so easily, and Jiangnan may not be able to keep it." After finishing speaking, Yuchen looked up at the curling mist rising from the roof, and said softly: "Once Jiangnan is occupied, the cloud will be destroyed." Qing and Yuxi occupy half of the country."

Nanny Gui said: "Mother, we can't worry about this matter." She had been talking about Yu Xi's various problems before, but now she stopped talking. Yuxi has now become someone she needs to look up to, and it would be ridiculous for her to say it again.

Yuchen sighed and said, "Yeah! I didn't get this out of my mind."

It was already midnight when the news of Fuyang's breach reached Pickaxe City. In the past, Xu Wu must have told Yuxi the good news on the second day, but these days Yuxi has been thinking about this matter, and Xu Wu doesn't want Yuxi to worry any more. Xu Wu, a big man, is not good at midnight, so he sent a woman to deliver the news.

Yuxi knew that Fuyang had already been won, so she let out a long breath. The breach of Fuyang proved that Yunqing's plan was successful.

Zaozao said with a smile: "Mom, I told you not to worry. Once Dad gets out, he will be fine." In Zaozao's mind, there is no one more powerful than his father.

The stone that had weighed on my heart these days was finally let go, and I felt relaxed all over my body. Yuxi said with a smile: "Mum won't worry if Fuyang is taken down." She really didn't worry about the war after that.

Zaozao actually has a lot to say, but looking at Yuxi's red eyes, she swallowed all the words back into her stomach: "Mother, don't worry now, let's go to sleep!" Mother will definitely sleep well today I feel it.

Yu Xi wiped Zao Zao's head, said with a smile: "Well, let's sleep."

The past few days were really tense, and now she finally relaxed, and Yu Xi fell asleep very quickly. After this sleep, I slept until before lunch the next day before waking up. (to be continued)
