Chapter 668: Waves Will Rise

On a sunny day, the cool wind blows in through the windows, instantly filling the room with the fragrance of flowers.

Yan Wushuang was talking to Tie Kui, sniffing the scent and said with a smile: "The osmanthus flowers in the yard bloomed yesterday. When the wind blows in, the room is filled with the scent of osmanthus flowers." There is an osmanthus tree in Yan Wushuang's yard. Trees are transplanted from outside. As for why Yan Wushuang likes the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, no one can understand.

Tie Kui said with a smile: "If the prince doesn't mind, I'll take an osmanthus flower back and put it in the bedroom later." Tie Kui was transferred to be the deputy commander of the imperial guards in the capital a year ago, and Lin Fengyuan was the commander. Unlike before, the relationship between Tie Kui and Lin Fengyuan is very bad, it is not an exaggeration to say that the situation is like fire and water. But this is exactly what Yan Wushuang wanted.

Yan Wushuang smiled and said, "If you like it, you can go back later. By the way, is your wife still on the Zhuangzi in the countryside with her three daughters?" A year ago, the Xiao family gave birth to another child on the Zhuangzi. daughter.

When Tie Kui heard this, the smile on his face softened a bit, and he said: "I am clean when she is in the country. Otherwise, she would make a lot of noise with Mrs. Lu in the mansion, making the mansion very noisy."

Yan Wushuang smiled and said: "It's a married couple after all. What will others say if they keep her in the country village? Find a day to bring her back!"

Tie Kui's heart tightened, but he didn't show it, and said, "Yes, I'll have someone pick her up when I go back." It must be no good for Yan Wushuang to ask him to pick up his wife and daughter.

Meng Nian opened the curtain and walked in, looked at Yan Wushuang with a solemn expression and said, "My lord, what's the matter? Is Tie Kui unwilling to bring Mrs. Xiao back?"

Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "No, he agreed very readily. It's just that I'm always worried about him. If it wasn't for Dashan's decision to let Tie Kui pass this time, I don't want to let him go."

Meng Nian said: "Your Majesty, although Tie Kui is greedy for money, he still has a sense of propriety. Besides, we know him well, and we have been working hard for these years. It's better to let him go than to let Lin Fengyuan go!" Yun Qing followed Yu Baojia formed an alliance two years ago, and Jiangnan provided a lot of financial resources in the past two years, allowing Yan Wushuang to expand his troops by 300,000 troops. This time Yu Baojia asked the imperial court to send 100,000 soldiers and horses to Anhui. Yan Wushuang agreed and ordered Qiu Dashan, who was stationed in Shandong, to go to Anhui.

Qiu Dashan didn't object, but asked Yan Wushuang to let Tie Kui go to assist him. Tie Kui was originally Qiu Dashan's arm, and there was no reason to refuse this request, so Yan Wushuang could only agree. But this news, Yan Wushuang has not let Tie Kui know yet.

Yan Wushuang said worriedly: "In the past two years, Yunqing has recruited another 200,000 troops, and now Yunqing has a million troops in his hands. If he sends troops to attack Jiangnan, I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle."

Meng Nian also showed concern. Although they had received the financial resources provided by Yu Baojia and Yu Chunhao in the past two years to recruit troops, they were still far behind compared with the Northwest area.

Gao Dongfeng said outside: "My lord, Mr. Meng, there is news from the northwest." In this case, the news should not be too urgent.

Yan Wushuang read the message and handed it to Meng Nian. Meng Nian was very surprised after reading it: "Yunqing has been handling government affairs for more than a month, and Han Yuxi has been hiding in the backyard. Could it be that she wants to return the government to Yunqing?"

Yan Wushuang said expressionlessly: "Impossible. Even if Han Yuxi wants to return the power to Yunqing, it is impossible when the overall situation is still uncertain. Besides, it is not easy for Han Yuxi to come to this day, how can it be so easy to return the power to Yunqing? "

Meng Nian said, "What could be the reason?"

Yan Wushuang looked at the letter in Meng Nian's hand and said, "Didn't the above say it was for the children."

Meng Nian obviously didn't believe it, and said, "My lord, do you think Han Yuxi will let go of his power for the sake of the child?" Those who have tasted power,

It's hard to let go.

Yan Wushuang glanced at Meng Nian and said, "This is only temporary. It won't be long before Han Yuxi will be in power again." Han Yuxi will temporarily let go of her rights for the sake of her child, but she can't stay like this forever. Aside from the fact that Han Yuxi misses power and is reluctant to let go, even now Yunqing cannot do without Han Yuxi's support.

Meng Nian felt that this made sense: "It's strange to say that the triplets are all five years old, and Han Yuxi has not been born again in the past five years."

Yan Wushuang said: "Having four sons is enough for Han Yuxi. If she continues to have children, her business will be delayed." Yan Wushuang has a deep understanding of this. He now has seven sons, and none of them, including the eldest son, satisfy him.

Meng Nian shook his head lightly, and did not continue the topic: "Yu Baojia suddenly asked to send troops to support Anhui this time, because Yu Baojia's temperament would not do such a show of weakness."

Yan Wushuang looked flat, and said: "As for Yu Baojia's self-willed personality, he will definitely not ask the imperial court to send troops. It is very likely that Yu Chunhao asked for this matter." After two years of rest, the Northwest has recovered its vitality, It is estimated that the war will start next year. Yu Baojia couldn't think of this, and it was impossible for Yu Chunhao to think of it.

Although Jiangnan claims to have 500,000 soldiers and horses, the combat effectiveness of these soldiers and horses is less than half of the Northwest Army. If you don't ask the imperial court for help in this situation, once the Northwest Army comes, Jiangnan will soon fall into Yunqing's hands.

Meng Nian looked worried. Although their overall strength was stronger than before, but Yunqing had a million soldiers and horses in his hands, and Yunqing had as many strong generals as Yunqing, so he really didn't think he had much power on his side. Odds.

Yan Wushuang knew what Meng Nian was worried about, and said, "You can't worry about such things."

Meng Nian's heart was shocked: "My lord, don't you have confidence in this battle?" If so, the battle will be defeated before it even starts.

Yan Wushuang lightly shook his head and said: "Although Yu Chunhao is good at winning over people, he has no prestige in the army. Yu Baojia is self-willed and has a bad reputation in Jiangnan these years. The two of them want to keep Jiangnan. It is not an ordinary difficulty. However, although Yunqing has millions of soldiers and horses, in fact, Yunqing can only use 400,000 to 500,000 soldiers. If the imperial court sends another 200,000 troops, Jiangnan will not be lost."

Meng Nian immediately vetoed Yan Wushuang's words: "If we send 300,000 troops to the south of the Yangtze River, if Yunqing sneaks in, the capital will be in danger." Even if Jiangnan is lost, the capital cannot be put in danger among.

There was sarcasm in Yan Wushuang's eyes, and he said, "You don't need to worry about this, neither Yu Baojia nor Yu Chunhao will agree to my suggestion."

The 300,000 troops of the imperial court have arrived in Jiangnan, which means that Jiangnan has been controlled by Yan Wushuang. Yu Chunhao and Yu Baojia are not stupid, how could they agree.

Meng Nian smiled wryly and said, "Yunqing and Han Yuxi are of the same mind, but Yu Baojia and Yu Chunhao have been guarding against us. In this situation, how can we win Yunqing?"

Yan Wushuang remained silent.

When Tie Kui returned to the mansion, he called Zhong Shantong into the house, and said, "Go to Zhuangzi now, and bring Madam and Ruyi back."

Zhong Shan was surprised with the same face: "Kuizi, didn't you say to let the wife and the girl live in Zhuangzi all the time? Why do you suddenly want to bring the wife and the girl back?"

Tie Kui looked hostile: "Yan Wushuang asked me to bring Madam and the others back." She even put Xiao's family in the village, but Yan Wushuang didn't let her go.

Zhong Shantong asked: "Well done, why did King Yan ask about your housework?"

Tie Kui had no contact with people from the Northwest in the past two years. On weekdays, in order not to arouse Yan Wushuang's suspicion, he is even more cautious, so the possibility of his identity being exposed is not high. Tie Kui also thought about this seriously on the way back: "I think it may not be long before I will lead the army to go out."

Zhong Shantong raised his head sharply, looked at Tie Kui and said, "Could it be that he is going to the south of the Yangtze River?" It is not a secret that the imperial court will send troops to the south of the Yangtze River. It's just that Zhong Shantong didn't expect that Yan Wushuang would send Tie Kui there.

Tie Kui nodded and said, "That should be the case. Otherwise, Yan Wushuang wouldn't have asked me to pick up their mother and daughter back." Xiao and his children returned to Beijing as hostages.

Zhong Shantong said: "Kuizi, if a war starts, you will definitely face the Northwest Army. What should we do then?" Few people knew Tie Kui's identity.

Tie Kui said: "My identity cannot be revealed until the end. Otherwise, with Yan Wushuang's personality, he will put me to death with all his strength." If Yan Wushuang knows that he is the one who has repeatedly leaked secrets, Even if he fled to the northwest, he wouldn't be able to sleep soundly again.

Zhong Shantong sighed and said: "It will take many years!" Although Yun Qing and Han Yuxi are very strong, it will take many years if they want to defeat Yan Wushuang.

Tie Kui said: "Once Yunqing captures Jiangnan, it won't take ten years for their husband and wife to take over the world." So at most ten years, the husband and wife can win the world. He has been waiting for more than twenty years, and this ten years is not bad.

Zhong Shantong felt that Tie Kui was a little optimistic, and Yan Wushuang was not a vegetarian. It was not because Yan Wushuang was incompetent that he lost successively before, but because those in power in the local area had their own ideas, so they were so easy to break through. But if Yunqing leads the army to attack the capital, it may not be successful. But Zhong Shantong also knew that such spoiling words should not be said at this time. So Zhong Shantong said with a smile: "At that time, Kuizi, you don't need to pretend to be a money fan anymore." Tie Kui actually doesn't love money, and part of the money he has collected over the years has been distributed to the soldiers below, and part of it has subsidized him. The home of the soldiers who died in battle.

Tie Kui nodded slightly and said, "I also hope that day will come sooner." By that day, I will be able to be my true self and worship my ancestors.
