Chapter 614

It rained lightly all night, and the sun came out the next day. The air was very clear, and I felt refreshed even after taking a sip. The thrush in the corridor is also singing happily.

Yuchen walked out of the house and looked at the buds on the tree. The water droplets on the buds looked like pearls under the reflection of the sun. Yuchen said with a smile: "The weather is nice today, I will go for a walk in the garden later." In February of Yangchun, it is the time when everything wakes up, and the garden also has a special scene.

After walking around the garden with the two children and returning to the yard, Nanny Gui told her one thing: "Mother, I just got the news that Yunqing led troops to capture Taiyuan." This was not a good thing for them. information.

Yuchen frowned and said, "How could it be so fast? Taiyuan was breached in just a few days?" Now that the news came out, the news should be true, but is the Northwest Army really so powerful? In such a short time, Taiyuan, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack, was defeated.

Nanny Gui shook her head and said, "I don't know the exact situation." But being able to break through Taiyuan within six days is not something ordinary people can do.

Yuchen said: "Taiyuan is occupied by Yunqing, and it will not be smooth for the prince." Yan Wushuang was not idle either, Qiu Dashan had already defeated half of Hebei, and Zhao Kuo retreated to the border with Shandong with the remnant soldiers place. But Yuchen knows that Yan Wushuang's goal is in Shanxi, and now that Shanxi is occupied by Yunqing, Yan Wushuang's original plan cannot be realized.

Nanny Gui said: "What should I do?" This round was lost by my prince, and sometimes a single loss may determine success or failure. Of course, this time it is not time to decide success or failure. But for someone as arrogant as the prince, he must feel uncomfortable if he loses.

After a moment of silence, Yuchen said: "My lord will find a solution." In the past, the lord would tell her about outside affairs, but now he doesn't. All the things she knew were inquired by herself, and the news she inquired was not good for them.

At this time, Yan Wushuang just received Qu Liangyi's call for help. Yan Wushuang threw the paper on the ground after reading it, and said with a sneer, "Before, there were five people and six people. Now that Taiyuan is lost, the imperial court is required to send troops to support it? What a joke, can't I treat my place as a charity hall?" If Qu Liangyi had listened obediently back then According to him, Hebei and Shanxi have already fallen into his hands.

Meng Nian said objectively: "Yunqing's ability to occupy Taiyuan so quickly has a lot to do with the previous rumors." The rumor Meng Nian said was the news that Yuxi asked the intelligence personnel to release. There are 400,000 troops in Shanxi, but 80% of these 400,000 are civilian children. These people were very moved when they heard these rumors, but after they were confirmed, they lost their minds about fighting. Therefore, when the two armies confront each other, the soldiers all shrink back, and no one is willing to rush forward.

Yan Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "The way to use troops is to attack the heart and attack the city. Although the Han family did not lead troops to fight, her strategy is worth thousands of troops." After a pause, Yan Wushuang said: "I heard Concubine Han say that Han Yuxi had studied the Art of War when she was young, but I didn't expect her to be so proficient in using the Art of War." It's only been a few years, and it has grown to such a terrifying level.

Meng Nian said: "If this matter is really written by the Han family, then this woman will become more and more terrifying." This strategy of the Han family has at least saved half of Yunqing's effort.

Yan Wushuang nodded and said: "It's getting more and more terrifying, but the more powerful she is, the more people will be afraid of her." Although it hasn't been revealed yet, it will explode one day. And she was waiting for the day to come.

Meng Nian said pertinently: "As long as Yunqing is on Han Yuxi's side, she will be invincible. Besides, Han Yuxi has four sons."

Yan Wushuang chuckled lightly and said, "Counting it all together, they have been married for eight years. No matter how beautiful things are, they will get tired of seeing them after eight years." Besides, Yun Qing was still leading troops outside,

Not in Pickaxe City.

Meng Nian said: "This matter has to be discussed in the long term. If we are not fully sure, we should not take another shot." After a pause, Meng Nian still said what was in his heart: "If it is the same as Qing Ge, then it is really a loss." Madam broke up again." Han Yuxi used Qing Ge to successfully provoke the relationship between He Gaoda and He Ye. And the consequence was not only that He Ye and He Gaoda's uncle and nephew were at odds, but also that the generals below looked at He Ye like this and were divorced. This is also the reason why Luoyang city defenders will surrender. Yang Duoming's persuasion certainly worked, but the real reason was that the general felt that the Northwest was strong and would have a good future if he joined Yunqing, but following He Ye not only had no future, but would also cost him his life. Normal people know how to choose.

Yan Wushuang smiled and said: "Naturally." He suffered a loss once, and he must hit it with one blow if he wants to make another move.

After hearing this, Meng Nian felt relieved: "My lord, the Northwest Army is not only brave in combat, but also has excellent weapons and equipment. We can't compare these. If we fight against the Northwest Army in the future, we will suffer a big loss." The Northwest Army is brave and good at fighting, and the Liaodong Army They are also very good at fighting, but under the same circumstances, their weapons and equipment are not as good as others. If the two armies confront each other, they will definitely fall into a disadvantage.

Yan Wushuang said: "This weaponry is not something that can be solved in a day or two." There are ores in Liaodong, and the amount of iron ore is even more than that in Northwest China, but there are very few skilled blacksmiths in Liaodong. Yan Wushuang can't do anything about this. It takes ten or twenty years to train an excellent blacksmith.

Speaking of this, Yan Wushuang sneered and said: "Ji Xuan has worked so hard for nearly twenty years, but in the end, Yun Qing and Han Yuxi were all taken advantage of."

Meng Nian said: "I've all made wedding clothes for others, and I can't rest in peace when I die." They knew about Ji Xuan's private soldiers back then, but they didn't know that Ji Xuan recruited so many skilled craftsmen. In this regard, Ji Xuan did a good job of keeping secrets. In the end, Yun Qing and Han Yuxi were taken advantage of.

Yan Wushuang pressed the matter, and asked: "How is the investigation of the meticulous work?" Meng Nian was asked to investigate the detailed work five months ago. At that time, it was found that a guard in Yanwang's mansion had been bribed. Not to mention Yan Wushuang, even Meng Nian didn't believe that the guard could betray so many secret information.

Meng Nian shook his head and said, "I don't have a clue yet." The main reason is that the identities of the people they suspect are not simple and difficult to check.

After pondering for a moment, Yan Wushuang said, "Since we have no clue, we should check He Feng, Lou Qingyun, and Tie Kui first." These three people did not reassure Yan Wushuang, but they all held heavy troops, so they were Yan Wushuang's first suspects. Object.

Meng Nian hesitated, and said, "My lord, if it is detected, the consequences will be unimaginable." If you make a mistake, the generals below will be separated from the lord. The price is too heavy, so you have to be cautious.

Yan Wushuang said: "The sky won't fall. Among the three, Lou Qingyun should be paid special attention to. I always feel that this person is inappropriate." Yan Wushuang's suspicion of Tie Kui before was just an instinct. Later, seeing that Tie Kui was greedy for money and spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, and after several years of surveillance, nothing wrong was found, so Yan Wushuang was quite relieved of Tie Kui. And Lou Qingyun is a very self-disciplined person, neither loves money nor looks good, even he didn't want to accept the beauties rewarded by Yan Wushuang at that time. In desperation, he picked it up and passed it on to his subordinates.

As a superior, I actually like subordinates with shortcomings. And Lou Qingyun is too clean, so clean that Yan Wushuang thinks it is too fake, so he is very vigilant about this person. Of course, Yan Wushuang is the kind of person who would rather kill by mistake than let him go, so Tie Kui and He Feng are the same.

In fact, Lou Qingyun was originally a child of a family of generals, but later the family suffered a sudden disaster and had to join the army. This person is very good at leading troops, and he is also very good at controlling them. The 50,000 horses he led only obeyed him, and the others simply ignored them when they went. This kind of person is a sharp sword if he uses it well, and he will cut himself if he doesn't use it well.

Meng Nian felt that this was inappropriate, and said, "My lord, this matter has to be done slowly, not in a hurry." It is easy to make mistakes when you are in a hurry, and once you make a mistake, it is too late to make up for it.

One-third of the generals in the Liaodong Army were Yan Wushuang who had been favored by Marshal Yan before; one-third were disappointed with the court and surrendered to Yan Wushuang; , had to submit, because if you don't submit, you will only die. Yunqing is different, Yunqing himself climbed up from the bottom by relying on military merits, seven out of ten current generals in the Northwest Army were single-handedly pulled out by him. In addition, he has made great efforts to improve the conditions in the army over the years, and has won the respect and love of all the soldiers of the Northwest Army. In terms of prestige in the army, the five Yan Wushuangs couldn't compare to Yun Qing.

Yan Wushuang hummed and said, "Don't worry, but in the future, the information must be more secretive, and we can't be taken advantage of."

Meng Nian said with some regret: "It would have been nice if we had placed someone by Yunqing's side back then." Yan Wushuang despised Yunqing very much back then, so he disdained to place his own people by his side. It was too late to put someone in later.

Yan Wushuang raised his head and said, "None of us would have imagined that Yunqing would marry Han Yuxi, let alone that Han Yuxi would have the ability to govern the country in Anbang." If he knew, why would he bother to put someone next to Yunqing, and directly marry Han Yuxi? Killed or tied to Liaodong.

Meng Nian is silent, the person they looked down upon as cowardly and pedantic before, has now become their greatest enemy. I have to say, this taste is really uncomfortable.

Tie Kui knew that no matter what he did Yan Wushuang would not be at ease, so he was not that cautious. In the past two years, unless it was news that he felt was very important, he would only send it out. In the past two years, Falcon never took the initiative to find him, which made Tie Kui very satisfied with Yu Xi.

On this day, Tie Kui was talking to Zhong Shantong in the room when he heard the guards outside say that Lady Lu, the steward of the inner courtyard, asked to see him.

Annoyance flashed in Tie Kui's eyes when he heard this, needless to say, he knew it was another internal house fight. Sometimes, Tie Kui regrets what he did to marry Xiao Shi! Even a favorite concubine can't be suppressed, in vain for the name of the head wife. (to be continued)
