Chapter 1012: Breaking Jinling
Tiekui was in a coma for a day and a night before waking up.
Xiao Shi was surprised when he opened his eyes: "Master, are you awake?" Xiao Shi has been guarding Tie Kui since he fell into a coma, and he has not closed his eyes until now.
Tie Kui looked at Xiao Shi and deliberately asked, "What's wrong with me?" In fact, he was sick, and it was intentional. However, he was forced to tell Xiao his true identity at the beginning, but he still didn't dare to tell Xiao about many things. Xiao is a female streamer, and her endurance is not strong, I am afraid that she will lose her sense of proportion if she knows that Yan Wushuang is suspicious of her.
Xiao Shi said with red eyes: "Master, you drank and caused the injury to recur. Fortunately, it was found in time, otherwise it would have been life-threatening. "This is definitely not Xiao's alarmism, but the words of the imperial doctor.
Tie Kui forced a smile: "I don't die so easily." "How could he die before the day he recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors?
Xiao Shi took the ginseng porridge from the maid's hand, scooped the spoon and blew it and said, "Master, eat something first." "Tie Kui hurt his vitality this time, and the imperial doctor said that he needs to cultivate well, otherwise, his life will be hindered.
After drinking a bowl of ginseng porridge, Tie Kui said, "Go and ask Ah Tong to come over, I have something to tell him." "This time, he did not hesitate to hurt himself, which was also a helpless move.
Xiao Shi meekly replied, "I'll go now." ”
Zhong Shantong entered the house and saw that Tie Kui's complexion was better than he imagined, and his heart was a little calm: "Master, since you can't drink, why do you have to drink so much wine with General Qiu?" Tie Kui acted very measuredly, so this time Zhong Shantong felt that things were not as simple as they faced.
Tie Kui said: "This time I threw off the pursuers, and Yan Wushuang became suspicious of me. Now that my injury has recurred, I can recuperate at home for a while. ”
Zhong Shantong was startled, but quickly frowned: "Kuizi, Yan Wushuang should appease you when you escaped death, why are you still suspicious?"
Tie Kui said with a sneer: "Cui Mo didn't lead the pursuers to chase and kill us, otherwise I would definitely not have returned to the capital." Yan Wushuang estimated that it was because of this that he doubted me. ”
Zhong Shantong lowered his voice when he heard this and said, "Kuizi, is it really Du Zheng and Cui Mo who deliberately let you go?"
Tie Kui shook his head and said, "No." If they wanted to let me go, I wouldn't have sent troops to hunt me down. If it weren't for the fact that my subordinates knew that there was a path, I would have been caught. "Yunqing has a rule that for generals who surrender, unless they are the most heinous people, they will not be killed. Although Tie Kui made some money, he didn't do anything harmful. If he is caught, as long as he surrenders, his life will not be in danger.
After speaking, Tie Kui sneered: "I escaped the pursuit of the enemy safely, but after returning to Beijing, I will be suspected by Yan Wushuang, if I let other generals know, I don't know what I will think." ”
Zhong Shantong hesitated for a moment and said, "Then during this time, can't we contact that side anymore?"
Tie Kui shook his head and said, "With Yan Wushuang's temperament, now the mansion and the mansion must be full of his eyeliner. During this time, he was recuperating from his injuries in the mansion and did nothing.
Zhong Shantong couldn't help but sigh and said, "Kuizi, when will such a day be a head?"
Tie Kui laughed when he heard this, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "The Northwest Army is like a bamboo, and Jiangnan will soon be captured by Yunqing. In three years at most, Yunqing and Yuxi will be able to unify the south. "The south has been subdued, and the goal of the husband and wife must be the capital.
Zhong Shantong feels that they are living on the edge of a knife every day: "It will take four or five years." ”
Tie Kui smiled and said, "It's already a lot less than expected." He had expected that it would take Yun Qing and Yuxi ten years to unify the south, but now he saw that it could be cut in half.
As the two brothers were talking, they heard the little guy outside reply: "Master, General Qiu has come to visit you." ”
Qiu Dashan knew that Tie Kui's injury had recurred because of drinking, and he was very guilty. When he got the news that Tie Kui had woken up, he hurried over to visit.
I monitored Tie Kui for half a month, and I didn't find anything unusual. General Meng Nian was relieved, and then asked, "Lord Wang, do you want to withdraw some of the manpower?" "Since nothing can be discovered, it is a complete waste of manpower to let so many people continue to monitor Tiekui.
Yan Wushuang was silent and said, "Remove the people from the periphery, and let the people in the Tie Mansion pay close attention to the whereabouts of Tie Kui and Zhong Shantong." "What is inconvenient for Tie Kui to do, he may let Zhong Shantong do it.
Meng Nian nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Ah Qian said outside: "Lord Wang, there is an excerpt in Jiangnan to be delivered." Because it was an urgent excerpt, Ah Qian would interrupt the conversation between the two.
Jinling is in an emergency, this is Yu Baojia and Yu Chunhao's plea for the imperial court to send troops to support Jinling. After reading it, Yan Wushuang threw the fold aside and said, "Before, I said that I would send troops to guard Jinling, but Yu Baojia and Yu Chunhao disagreed, and now I ask for reinforcements to support Jinling?" Yu Chunhao and Yu Baojia are not so stupid!
Yunqing has already come to the city, and now if he sends troops to support, it is equivalent to letting the soldiers go to death, how can he do such a loss-making business.
Meng Nian knew what was going on when he heard this: "Yunqing occupies Jinling, and the next target should be Qiantang." Qiantang is Yu Baojia's lair, and Yu Baojia should be desperate when the time comes. ”
Yan Wushuang showed a mocking look on his face: "What about being desperate? Although Qiantang has 500,000 troops, but their combat effectiveness is not good and there is no natural danger, Yu Baojia can't protect Qiantang at all." "Yu Baojia is desperate, at most, to prolong the battle for a few days.
Before the conversation was finished, another message came from the front. After reading it, Yan Wushuang said to Meng Nian: "Xu Zhen's attack on Tanzhou failed, and he has lost nearly half of his men and horses. After a pause, he added: "It was Yuwen Nanqing's son Yuwen He who repelled Xu Zhen." Unexpectedly, Yuwen Nanqing gave birth to a good son.
Meng Nian showed a look of surprise: "Yuwen He? I remember that Yuwen Nanqing's eldest son is not called Yuwen He." ”
It was rare to hear a piece of good news, and Yan Wushuang was in a better mood: "This Yuwen Crane is the son of Yuwen Nanqing's original match. After speaking, he sighed and said: "Since ancient times, heroes have come out of teenagers!"
Meng Nian said with some regret: "It's a pity that there are too few heroes like this. "If there were a few more, it would be nice.
Yan Wushuang smiled and said, "Yuwen He can repel Xu Zhen, he really has real skills. But Yunqing and Han Yuxi will definitely increase their troops, and it is still unknown whether Yuwenhe can hold Tanzhou all the time?" Yan Wushuang actually knew in his heart that the defeat in the battle in Tanzhou would not affect Yunqing's entire layout. Yunqing will fight Zhejiang next, followed by Jiangxi and Hunan. Yuwenhe's repulsion of Xu Zhen can only ensure peace for a while, but it is impossible to keep Tanzhou safe forever.
Meng Nian said: "At least this is good news. "The battle in Tanzhou shows that the Northwest Army is not invincible. In this way, it also gave them the confidence of the generals below, but don't be afraid of the future without fighting.
Yan Wushuang was not an optimistic person, but he didn't say anything gloomy at this time.
The news of Xu Zhen's defeat soon spread to Ho City. Yuxi didn't think there was any shame in Xu Zhen's defeat at the hands of a young man. There are many reasons for success or failure on the battlefield, and they are not measured by age and experience. It's just that Yuxi is a little surprised that she has never heard of such a person before. Yuxi asked Xu Wu: "Have you heard of Yuwen Nanqing's son Yuwen He?" Yuwen Nanqing knew, but Yuwen He hadn't heard of it. It stands to reason that such a powerful person should be very famous.
Xu Wu shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it." However, this person can make Xu Zhen suffer such a big loss, this person should not be underestimated. "Their intelligence network is a little behind Yan Wushuang's.
Yuxi thought for a while and said: "Yuwen Nanqing relied on his wife Li to make his fortune, and Yuwen Nanqing has only had one wife in the Li family over the years, and he doesn't even have a concubine. The son born to the Li family is only sixteen years old this year, but this Yuwenhe is twenty-three years old. ”
Xu Wu said: "Since Xu Zhen said that this Yuwen He is the son of Yuwen Nanqing, there should be no mistake. ”
Yuxi shook his head and said, "If I remember correctly, Yuwen Nanqing married a wife in the countryside before marrying the Li family. Moreover, Yuwen Nanqing was already twenty-five years old when she married Li. "Yuwen Nanqing was born poor, but his current wife, Li, was born in a prominent family in Tanzhou. The news they found out was that Li's brother took a fancy to Yuwen Nanqing's talent and took the initiative to marry Li's to Yuwen Nanqing. Facts have also proved that Li's brother's vision is still very good.
Xu Wu thought for a while and nodded and said, "There is such a thing. But the woman died a long time ago, so we don't know much about her. "For people who are already trending and irrelevant, they naturally don't look too hard.
Yuxi said with certainty: "If I am not mistaken, this Yuwen He may be the son of Yuwen Nanqing's original match." "According to age, it is also right.
Xu Wu said with some surprise: "Princess, since this Yuwenhe can defeat Xu Zhen hard, it shows that he is a person with real skills. But we hadn't heard of it before, so it was a little strange. ”
Yuxi smiled and said, "What's so strange? As a woman, it is definitely impossible for Li to let the children born by other women snatch the status of their own children. "Yuwenhe didn't have a good reputation before, and he was obviously suppressed by the Li family. It's a pity that people with real skills are in troubled times, and they can't be suppressed at all.
Xu Wu felt that Yuxi had a point: "If that's the case, it can also explain why we haven't heard of this Yuwen Crane before." ”
Yuxi said: "Let our people find out the details of Yuwenhe." If it is as I expected, we can get rid of him with the help of Li's hand. "If you don't use it for yourself, then get rid of this roadblock.
Xu Wu said: "Princess, why don't you send someone to persuade Yuwenhe and let Yuwenhe be used by us?"
Yuxi shook his head and said: "If Yuwen He is really from Yuwen Nanqing's original match, then he is the eldest son." The eldest son was not known before, but it is conceivable that he must have suffered a lot of sins over the years. In this case, he is still willing to stand up and keep Tanzhou, do you think he can convince him?" If it were her, she would definitely be full of resentment towards Yuwen Nanqing and the Li family. It is very moral not to fall into the well at a time of difficulty, how can you still stand up to protect Tanzhou. So from this incident, it can be seen that he has feelings for Yuwen Nanqing. It is basically impossible for him to betray Yuwen Nanqing.
After listening to Yuxi's analysis, Xu Wu felt that it made sense, thought for a while and said: "Will the Li clan take action to get rid of Yuwenhe?
Yuxi chuckled and said, "Women don't think the same way as men. It is precisely because Tanzhou was kept by Yuwenhe that the Li family wanted to get rid of him. "As long as Yuwenhe exists, the lives of the Li family and her children will be in danger. Of course, the premise of all this is that Yuxi's speculation is right.
Xu Wu still felt a pity when he thought about it, and said, "Princess, why don't we let our people come into contact with Yuwenhe." Perhaps, we will be able to convince him to come to us!"
Yuxi shook his head and said, "No." Our people can't have any contact with Yuwenhe, once they arouse Yuwenhe's suspicion and make him wary, they won't be able to kill him. After saying this, Yuxi looked at Xu Wu and said, "Yuwenhe is talented, but he is our enemy. If you are soft-hearted to him, it may cost you the lives of thousands of soldiers. Xu Wu, we can't gamble with so many people's lives. ”
Xu Wu's face turned pale, and he said with a guilty face: "What the princess said is that I am in love." He only thought that Yu Wenhe had such a military talent, but it was a pity to die, but he forgot that this person had already taken the lives of tens of thousands of their soldiers.
Yuxi said: "I don't talk about you, I also feel pity." "Thousands of troops are easy to get, and it is difficult to find a general, but this Yuwenhe is a general, but it's a pity that they are enemies.
Xu Wu calmed down and said, "Xu Zhen has lost nearly half of his manpower, and we should send troops to reinforce him." "It's just a question of where people should be dispatched.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "This is something that the prince should consider. "She won't interfere in the war. Otherwise, if her decision was different from Yunqing, it would not only confuse the generals below, but also give the enemy a chance to take advantage of.
Two days later, Yunqing's handwritten letter arrived. After reading it, Yuxi immediately called Xu Wu and said, "The prince has an order, let Yu Cong bring 30,000 soldiers and horses to support Xu Zhen." ”
Xu Wu said: "30,000 soldiers and horses, is it too little?" Xu Zhen only has 60,000 horses left, and if he adds 30,000, there are only 90,000 horses!
Yuxi said: "I also have to transfer 30,000 horses from Shudi." As long as Yuwenhe is dead, there are 120,000 horses that should be able to take Tanzhou. ”
Xu Wu said: "Princess, don't we tell the prince about this first? I am worried that the prince will not agree when he finds out." ”
Yuxi shook his head and said, "If you think too much, the prince will not object." Although the method she thought of was a bit inferior, the price was very small, and Yun Qing, as the head coach, would definitely agree.
Xu Wu was still a little worried, but looking at Yuxi's determined face, he couldn't say anything more.
Yuxi said with a smile: "By the way, the prince said that he would be able to take Jinling in three days at most." ”
Xu Wu was also very happy: "At this rate, it won't take three months for the prince to take down the entire Jiangnan." ”
Yuxi is not as optimistic as Xu Wu: "Zhejiang is Yu Baojia's lair, and the battle there will definitely not be as smooth as Jiangsu." "She just wants to end the war by the end of the year.
In fact, what Yunqing said was a conservative statement within three days, and Yunqing would break through Jinling City before dark on this day.
Standing on the city wall, Yun Qing looked in the northwest direction and said something completely unrelated to the war: "At this time, the princess and Brother Hao are estimated to have had dinner. ”
Si Bonian said with a smile: "Lord, the princess will definitely be very happy to know that you have captured Jinling." In fact, not only Yunqing thinks about his wife and children, he also thinks about it.
Although Yun Qing didn't speak again, his expression was much more relaxed.
