Chapter 713: One Arrow, Two Eagles

In two months, all states and counties in the south of the Yangtze River were also subdued. Things were going well, and Yunqing was in a good mood.

Holding the letter in both hands, Si Bonian said to Yunqing, "My lord, Mr. Han sent someone to send an urgent letter."

Yun Qing frowned, and said that he would hand over the peace talks to Yu Xi, and send him a letter if he did anything. After reading it apart, Yunqing fell into deep thought.

When Yu Cong entered the room, he saw Yun Qing studying the map. Yu Cong asked: "My lord, but you want to attack Fujian?" He thought that the peace talks in Fujian had broken down and Yunqing was going to send troops.

Yun Qing said: "No. Qiu Ye said that he is going to send troops to attack Guangdong in September, and I hope I can send troops to support him." Fortunately, Qiu Ye did not ask Yun Qing to send troops to him, otherwise Yun Qing would not be planning to attack Guangdong. Instead, they directly sent troops to attack Fujian.

Yu Cong asked with some concern: "Will there be fraud?" Before the negotiation was concluded, Qiu Ye's mention of this condition could not but make people suspicious.

Yun Qing shook his head and said: "No. Qiu Ye's father died at the hands of Lei Peng, and the revenge for killing his father is irreconcilable. Qiu Ye's sending troops this time should be to avenge his father."

Yu Cong really didn't understand these things.

Yun Qing pointed to two places and said: "To attack Guangdong, we will send troops from these two places." The two places Yun Qing pointed to were Ding County in Jiangxi and Lin County in Hunan. These two places are only tens of miles away from Guangdong. Yun Qing is preparing to attack Qiu Ye from three sides, so that Guangdong can be taken down as quickly as possible.

Not going with Qiu Ye, Yu Cong felt relieved: "Who is the lord planning to send?"

Yun Qing said: "Guan Tai and Du Zheng." The two led an army of 100,000 troops and sent troops from Ding County and Lin County respectively.

Yu Cong thought for a while and said: "My lord, let me be a pioneer!" He also wanted to make more military exploits and give his son a better future in the future.

Yun Qing was a little surprised, Yu Cong would never recommend himself before. But Yunqing didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "Next year, we will attack Guangxi and Yungui, and there will be opportunities to make meritorious service." In addition to planning to attack Guangxi and Yungui next year, he also plans to attack Beiyao. Therefore, there is no need to worry about no battles.

Yu Cong hurriedly said: "Yes."

Yunqing put the map away, then looked at Yu Cong and said, "I heard that you took two concubines, is it true?" Cui Mo wrote to Yunqing about this, otherwise Yunqing would have In the dark! Yu Cong is Yunqing's confidant general, and the people below know that they will not mention it in front of Yunqing.

Seeing that Yun Qing asked, Yu Cong did not hide anything, nodded and said: "Yes, it has been more than a month." After a pause, Yu Cong said what was in his heart: "My lord, I want a child of my own."

Yun Qing said with a grim expression: "Ten years ago, I asked you to take a concubine, and then go to the mother to keep the child. What did you say at that time? You said that Mrs. Lin didn't want to, so you can't hurt Mrs. Lin's heart." You were afraid of her being sad at the time, but now you are not afraid of Lin's being sad?"

Yu Cong lowered his head and said nothing.

Yun Qing said: "If you let Lin know about your current behavior, what do you think she will think? She will definitely think that you have a high position and power now, so she wants to throw away your messy wife." There is nothing wrong with wanting children, but Yu Cong Such behavior is very unethical, and seriously, it is treachery.

Yu Cong still knows Yunqing's temperament very well. What Yunqing hates the most is people who break their promises. Yu Cong hurriedly said: "My lord, I just want a child of my own. When I have a son, I will send them away."

Yun Qing said: "Remember what you said today." This is a reminder and a warning.

Yuxi received Han Jianming's letter two days later than Yunqing. After reading the letter, a smile appeared on Yuxi's face.

Seeing this, Xu Wu knew that things were going well.

Yu Xi said: "Qiu Ye plans to send troops to attack Guangdong in mid-September,

Let us send troops to assist him. "They will definitely agree to this condition.

Xu Wu snorted and asked, "Qiu Ye means that he is the main force to attack Guangdong? Why?"

Yu Xi smiled and said: "You forgot, Qiu Ye and Lei Peng have a vendetta for killing their father." The vengeance of killing their father is irreconcilable, but Lei Peng is stronger than Qiu Ye, so Qiu Ye dare not act rashly.

Seeing the smile on Yuxi's face, Xu Wu suddenly asked, "Did the concubine expect all this?" In fact, he was still puzzled by Yuxi's insistence on peace talks. After all, there will still be great hidden dangers in peace talks.

Yuxi hummed and said: "The hatred of killing one's father is irreconcilable. In addition, after the old master Qiu passed away, Lei Peng colluded with Qiu's family to stab Qiu Ye in the back. The two of them will never die. Qiu Ye is willing One of the reasons for submitting to us is that you want to use our hands to take revenge." But she didn't expect Qiu Ye to be so impatient.

Xu Wu finally understood, and said, "Princess, this is killing two birds with one stone." Qiu Ye surrendered to them, not only peacefully settled Fujian, but also easily took Guangdong, which is not killing two birds with one stone.

Yuxi said: "I didn't expect things to go so smoothly." She thought it was a grind!

Xu Wu admired him from the bottom of his heart: "My concubine is brilliant." With just one move, two provinces can be conquered easily. Such a method has to be admired.

Yu Xi smiled and said: "It can only be said that God is also helping us." She didn't know why Qiu Ye was so eager, but this result was a good thing for them.

Seeing Xu Wu standing still in the room, Yuxi asked a little strangely: "Is there anything else you can do?" She felt very stressed by being alone in the room without saying anything!

Xu Wu reminded: "Princess, you haven't replied to Master Han yet?"

Yuxi laughed and said, "I'll reply to elder brother when the prince's letter arrives." She read Yunqing's meaning before she could reply to Han Jianming.

Xu Wu nodded, and then backed out.

During dinner, the children felt that Yuxi was in a good mood. Zao Zao asked: "Mother, what's the happy event?" It's rare to see her mother so happy!

Yuxi smiled and said: "The problem in Fujian has been solved. Qiu Ye will send troops to attack Guangdong in September, and we will send troops to assist him at that time, and Guangdong will be taken soon." Several children are very concerned about the war, Yuxi said Generally speaking, they can understand.

Zaozao said happily: "Mother, if Guangdong is taken down, then only Guangxi and Yungui will be left?" Seeing Yuxi nodding, Zaozao said again: "Mother, I will be thirteen next year. Wait until next year Send troops, I will follow."

Yu Xi chuckled and said, "You won't be thirteen until the next May." Zao Zao will only be thirteen next year. It's a good idea to want to play sloppy with her.

Zaozao hugged Yuxi's arm and said, "Mom, next year I will go with daddy and I won't be able to go to the battlefield. Is that okay?" He often heard Xu Wu talk about Yunqing's heroic deeds, which made Zaozao really want to follow Yunqing. Let's go to the battlefield together.

Brother Hao said: "Mother, the eldest sister has already left the teacher. If she wants to see it, let her go!" To save the eldest sister from thinking about it day and night.

Liu'er also helped to speak: "Mother, you can let the elder sister go!" Liu'er and Brother Hao knew how much Zao Zao wanted to go to the battlefield. If you can follow next year, it can be regarded as the fulfillment of the jujube dream!

Yu Xi hesitated for a while and said: "Let me think about it again." This is a big matter, and we must be cautious.

Zaozao shook Yuxi's shoulder and said, "Mother, just let me go! Don't worry, I promise I won't go to the battlefield. If I don't do it, I won't go to the battlefield again."

Yuxi felt a little loose after hearing this: "Can it really be done?" Seeing Zaozao's heavy nodding, Yuxi said: "If your grandfather and father object, then you can't blame me."

Zao Zao couldn't believe it when she heard this, she was stunned for three seconds before she said: "Grandpa and Dad won't object!" Yu Xi was always the one who objected.

As a high-ranking person, Yu Xi obeys what she says and does what she says, and she won't go back on what she says when it comes to children. Yu Xi said: "If you plan to follow to the battlefield next year, first choose the person to follow." If you want to lead troops to fight in the future, it's also good to follow to get familiar with them first.

Zao Zao didn't have any expectations this time, but it was just such a request, but Yuxi did not expect that she would agree, which was really unexpected. Zao Zao hugged Yu Xi's arm and said with a happy smile, "Mother is so kind."

Liu'er joked: "Big sister finally got what she wanted, congratulations."

Brother Hao was very calm, and said: "Sister, when you go to the front line next year, you must listen to Dad's words, and you can't be as frizzy as you are at home." Brother, Zao Zao is my sister!

Zaozao said very disgustedly: "Got it, little old man." Little old man is the nickname Zazao gave Brother Hao. Although Yuxi didn't like it, she didn't interfere. Children have children's way of getting along, and it is not good for adults to intervene.

Brother Rui pestered Yuxi and said, "Mom, when can I go to the battlefield?" As for Brother Xuan and Brother Yu, they didn't have much interest in going to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

Yuxi poked brother Rui's forehead and said, "Just like your eldest sister, you can do it when you are thirteen." If Yunqing is willing to take it with you, he can even be ten years old. But it's impossible for Yuxi to say this, otherwise Zao Zao would definitely blow up.

Brother Rui made some calculations, and said very dejectedly: "Mother, it will take another seven years!"

Zao Zao laughed straight: "Wait slowly!" That's how she came here back then, and now it's Brother Rui's turn.

Two days later, Yuxi received a letter from Yunqing. After reading the letter, Yuxi smiled and shook her head. Seeing Xu Wu's surprised face, Yuxi smiled and said: "My lord wanted to find great scholars to be Mr. Hao, but he was scolded by these two great scholars." Yun Qing came to the door when he heard that these two people were famous Please, without inquiring about the situation first. Both of them are people who read the Tao of Confucius and Mencius, and in their eyes Yun Qing is a traitor and traitor. When they saw Yunqing, they pointed at his nose and cursed. When Yunqing got angry, both of them put on a look of death. If it wasn't for his rationality and the people around him blocking him, Yun Qing would have almost killed the two of them.

Xu Wu said with a grim expression: "How dare you scold the prince, you're getting impatient."

Yuxi was not angry, and said: "I don't have to make myself uncomfortable with these pedantic people." For this kind of people, killing them will only complete their reputation of being loyal to the emperor and patriotic, what they wish for!

Xu Wu said: "The concubine has such a good temper." If you want him to say, whoever dares to resist will be destroyed.

Yu Xi said solemnly: "Warrior kills with only one knife, but scholar destroys people for thousands of years. Therefore, don't underestimate scholars. If the prince kills these two great scholars, he will be accused by thousands of people and leave a reputation for tyranny in history books." Let’s say that these two great Confucian disciples and old officials are all over the south of the Yangtze River, and if they are really killed, it will not be conducive to the stability and governance of the south of the Yangtze River.”

Xu Wu looked up at Yu Xi and said, "Isn't that very useless?" Those who serve in the army like love and hatred.

Yu Xi smiled and said: "The winner is Marquis Wu and the loser is Kou. What's so useless? For these scholars who stubbornly admit to death, just ignore them, and don't pay too much attention to the rest." For these people, soft knives are effective.

Du Zheng received Yuxi's transfer order, smiled and said to Cui Mo: "The lord ordered us to rush to Ding County." As a general, the happiest thing is that there is a battle to be fought.

Cui Mo looked at Du Zheng's appearance and asked immediately, "Ding County is close to Guangdong. Your lord wants us to fight Guangdong? Didn't you say that we plan to fight Guangdong next year?"

Du Zheng said: "The situation has changed. Qiu Ye agreed to Wang Hao's conditions, but asked us to assist him in attacking Guangdong."

Cui Mo said: "Assist Qiu Ye in attacking Guangdong? Then who will count if Guangdong is defeated?"

Du Zheng felt that Cui Mo asked a stupid question, so he laughed and scolded: "Fujian has surrendered to us now, who do you think Guangdong is defeated by?"

Cui Mo was a little surprised and said: "Qiu Ye is the main force, we assist? He will do such a loss-making business?" If the main attack, the casualties will also be heavy.

Du Zheng said: "What's the loss? He sent troops for revenge." Qiu Ye was for revenge, and they were for occupying territory and conflicting.

Cui Mo said: "We'd better be careful." If this is a trap, then they will be in danger.

Du Zheng smiled and said: "Don't worry, we don't listen to him and we are not afraid of him being a stumbling block." No matter what, it is impossible for Qiu Ye to partner with those who killed his father to harm them. Of course, some precautions are still necessary.

Han Jianming received Yunqing's letter and said to Qiu Ye: "Cousin, the lord has agreed to your request, and has ordered General Du and General Guan to go to Ding County and Lin County respectively." Han Jianming knew very well that Qiu Ye The change of attitude is because of the old lady Xiao. As for what Xiao Shi said to Qiu Ye that night when he was seriously ill, he didn't know, so he didn't ask.

Qiu Ye said: "How many soldiers and horses?" Hearing 200,000, Qiu Ye didn't say anything. Two hundred thousand soldiers and horses is not too much, but it is not too little.

After talking about business, Qiu Ye asked, "When will my cousin return to Pickaxe City?" Han Jianming's mission has been completed, so he will naturally leave.

Han Jianming said with a smile, "I won't be able to go back until the concubine's reply." The appointment of him as the governor of Jiangnan cannot be said until the official transfer order is issued.

Qiu Ye said with some melancholy: "We parted this time, and I don't know when we will see each other again?" It is estimated that it will be very difficult for him to leave Fujian again in his life.

Han Jianming smiled and said, "There is a chance. By the way, how is Auntie doing now? Is there anything better?"

Qiu Ye was silent for a while and said: "The doctor said that this year may not be passed." This is also when he will send troops to attack Lei Peng in September, and he does not want his own mother to leave with regrets.

Han Jianming said: "Then spend more time with him while you are in the mansion." After finishing speaking, Han Jianming also sighed and said: "I have been away from home all the year round, and the family affairs are all dependent on the princess. , is also unfilial."

Qiu Ye smiled wryly and said: "You are better than me, my aunt is in good health, but my mother doesn't have much time." Now it's August, and his mother only has three or four months left. (to be continued)
