In February, the willow tree sprouted green leaves, gently swaying in the slight spring breeze, as if knowing that the man was going to travel there to bid farewell.

Yuxi took six children to send Yunqing to the door, and a thousand words were only turned into five words: "Take care of yourself." ”

Yunqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will return triumphantly." "Although the future is unpredictable, the attitude has to be expressed.

Zao Zao raised his voice and said: "Dad, then my mother and brother and I are waiting for you to return triumphantly." "It's a big fight, and it's a shame not to be able to follow along.

Yun Qing nodded with a smile, then stepped on the horse and waved his hand to his wife and children: "Let's all go back!" After speaking, he rode away without looking back.

The group had already walked away, but Yuxi still watched intently, and Yuxi was too indifferent before, making several children think that Yuxi was not worried. But at this moment, several children can deeply feel Yuxi's reluctance and worry about Yunqing. Zao Zao walked over, held Yuxi's hand and said, "Mother, dad is gone, let's go back!"

Yuxi nodded and said, "Well, let's go back!" Although she is used to separation, she is hanging in her heart every time she separates. Only when she no longer has to use Yunqing to lead troops to fight can she really rest assured.

With Yunqing leaving, Yuxi began to get busy again. When a person has something to do, he is enriched.

The only thing that feels depressed is the triplets, Yuxi would tell them stories before going to bed, but since Yunqing left, this benefit has gone.

Brother You said, "I don't know when my father will come back?" Before, he wished that Yunqing would leave quickly, otherwise he would have to be careful, for fear that he would accidentally provoke Yunqing to be beaten again. Now I think it's good that Yunqing is here, at least they have a story to listen to at night.

Rui Ge'er said: "I heard from my eldest sister that this battle is very difficult to fight, and it may take a year and a half. It means that his father will not be able to come back for half a year at the earliest.

Brother You'er sighed and said, "Wow for so long?"

Yuxi walked to the door just in time to hear Brother You'er's sigh, walked in and asked with a smile: "What are the troubles of Xiao Xiaonian?" ”

Brother You lifted the quilt and jumped happily to Yuxi's side, took Yuxi's hand and said, "Mother, you are here." ”

Yuxi hurriedly stuffed Brother You back into the quilt, in case he caught a cold, it was not fun: "I still say that I am a little man, and I am so uneasy." ”

Rui Ge'er asked, "Mother, are you done?"

Yuxi covered the quilt for Brother You'er, and said with a smile: "Just after I was busy, I heard you talking, so I came over to take a look." Why don't you sleep so late?"

Brother You looked at Yuxi's tired expression, and said distressedly: "Mother, let's sleep here, you can rest early!"

When Brother Rui and Brother Xuan heard this, the two said in unison: "Mother, we're fine, you go and rest!"

Yuxi was indeed a little tired, and he didn't force himself when he heard his son's words: "Then don't talk for too long, go to bed early." Seeing her three sons nodding, she got up and went out.

Brother Rui looked at Brother You and said, "I thought you would let your mother tell a story?"

Brother You snorted: "My mother is so hard, how can I be so ignorant?" But when my mother is not busy in the future, I will let my mother make up for everything she owes.

Brother Xuan smiled and said, "Brother is the most sensible." "Six sisters and brothers, the most ignorant is Brother You'er. However, since Yun Qing whipped that whip, Brother You'er has been much more restrained than before, and he will not have anything to do with the previous three days or two.

When Yuxi was taking a bath, Mama Quan told her something: "Princess, now there is a rumor outside that the eldest young master of the Feng family and the girl of the Chang family got married two years ago. Now that the Feng family has climbed to the Han family, they have ruined their relationship with the Chang family. ”

Yuxi didn't raise his eyelids and said, "I'll have someone check on this tomorrow." "This must be a rumor deliberately spread by someone with a heart, but I don't know who it is.

When Mama Quan heard this, she knew Yuxi's attitude: "The princess thinks this rumor is fake?"

Yuxi hummed and said: "Feng Dajun is not a treacherous person, and the Chang family is the Chang family's maiden family, if Zhi Ao is really married to the Chang family girl, it is impossible for their husband and wife to invite a matchmaker to the Han family to propose marriage." ”

Mama Quan nodded and didn't speak again.

After taking a bath, Yuxi saw that it was still early, so she lay on the couch and asked Tong Fang to give her a full body massage.

The next day, Yuxi told Xu Wu about it: "Go check and see who spread this rumor." ”

Xu Wu nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Lu Xiu was not angry when she heard this rumor, because this rumor was too unreliable, but she still sent someone to the Feng family to ask what was going on with the Chang family.

The mother-in-law came back soon and said, "Second lady, Mrs. Feng said that her sister-in-law really wanted to give her daughter to the eldest son of the Feng family, but they were rejected by the husband and wife. Mrs. Feng said that she would send someone to investigate and see who spread such rumors. ”

Lu Xiu nodded and said, "It's good if you don't have it." "It's really unfortunate that a good family affair should get into trouble with these things.

In the evening of the same day, Xu Wu told Yuxi the news he had discovered: "Princess, it is the companion of Lord Yuan's wife, Xiao, who spread this rumor. ”

Yuxi was a little surprised, and asked, "It turned out to be the Xiao family, and the Feng family and the Han family had a feud with the Xiao family?"

Xu Wu shook his head and said: "General Feng has a good relationship with Lord Yuan, and the two families have been in contact all these years. As for the Han family and the Xiao family, as far as I know, the two families have never had a feud. At the end of last year, Xiao also went to the chrysanthemum banquet in Hanfu. ”

Yuxi was a little confused: "That's strange? Okay, what is the Xiao family doing spreading such rumors?"

Xu Wu said: "Before, the Xiao family intended the eldest girl of the Han family to be her daughter-in-law, I don't know if it would be because of the reason that the eldest girl of the Han family gave Zhi Ao a grudge, so the Xiao family spread this rumor. ”

Yuxi shook her head and said, "It shouldn't be!" After thinking about it, Yuxi said: "Let my second sister-in-law negotiate this matter!" She didn't have time to deal with these trivial matters.

Xu Wu nodded.

Yuxi asked, "Do the math, the prince should have arrived in Lanyang at this time." "Lanyang City is only a little more than a hundred miles away from Caozhou, Shandong.

Xu Wu nodded and said: "It's been ten days, the prince must have arrived, and the news should be able to pass in the next two days." Xu Wu was not surprised at all as to why Yunqing led his troops to attack Caozhou. Attack Caozhou, so that the imperial court will not have more troops to reinforce Jiangnan. Yunqing's move made Xu Wu think that this matter had reduced the pressure on Du Zheng, Guan Tai and others.

Yuxi nodded and said, "I hope this war can end soon." "The sooner the war ends, the fewer people we will die and the more we will spend less. In the past two years, it has finally eased up, and this war is about to be stretched again.

Xu Wu said honestly: "This battle is not easy to fight, and this battle will not end in half a year." "The problem is, they don't have much certainty about this battle.

Yuxi was silent.

Yunqing sent 100,000 troops, and Yan Wushuang knew the news at the first time. But Yan Wushuang always thought that Yunqing was going to Luozhou to join Du Zheng, and then attack Fuyang. But he didn't expect Yunqing to go to Lanyang instead of Luozhou.

Yan Wushuang got the news, and his brows furrowed tightly.

Meng Nian said: "Yunqing's 100,000 soldiers and horses are going to Lanyang, this is to prepare to attack Caozhou?"

Yan Wushuang shook his head and said: "The battle line to attack Caozhou is too long, and the consumption is too great for them, and with the current strength of the northwest, it won't last a few days." "If you want to break through Shandong in a short time, it is wishful thinking. And Yunqing is not a presumptuous person, he must have done this for a purpose.

Meng Nian felt that Yan Wushuang's speculation was very reasonable: "Then what is Yunqing's purpose in doing this?"

Yan Wushuang spread out the map and studied it carefully. After studying for a long time, Yan Wushuang clicked on a place and said, "Yunqing's attack on Caozhou is just to confuse us, his real purpose is likely to be Xiayi?"

Meng Nian shook his head and said, "Even if it is as the prince said, Yunqing's purpose is in Xiayi. But we also sent heavy troops to guard Xiayi, and if he wants to break through Xiayi, he must pay a heavy price. At that time, reinforcements from Xuzhou and Huaizhou can also arrive, and they will definitely be able to wipe out his remaining soldiers and horses. "Although Yunqing has a million soldiers and horses, his battle line is too long, and there are not many soldiers and horses that can be called. The 100,000 soldiers and horses brought by Yunqing this time are already the last people and horses that can be called. Even if Xiayi is captured, too many soldiers and horses will be lost at that time, and Yunqing will have to transfer troops from Luozhou or Shanxi if he wants to increase his troops. But in this way, the combat effectiveness of Luozhou or Shanxi will be weakened, and Luozhou and Shanxi will be in danger. And if Yunqing does not send troops to reinforce in the past, they will soon be able to recapture Xiayi, and when the time comes, they can even attack Shangqiu as the main enemy.

Yan Wushuang himself couldn't figure out Yun Qing's plan, so after thinking about it, he summoned the secretary of the military department to discuss the matter with Lin Fengyuan and other important ministers. Brainstorming, maybe someone can think of the mystery. It's a pity that to Yan Wushuang's disappointment, none of the more than ten ministers came up with useful information.

Lin Fengyuan returned to his mansion and fell into deep thought. But no matter what he thought, he couldn't figure out what Yunqing's purpose was.

Gu Jiu looked at Lin Fengyuan's appearance and said, "General, don't think about it if you can't figure it out." Maybe the king of Pingxi just wants to take Shandong by surprise!"

Lin Fengyuan shook his head and said, "Impossible." Yunqing's goal is Jiangnan, and attacking Shandong will not do anything good except to prolong the war. ”

Gu Jiu thought for a while and said the words from the bottom of his heart: "Even if King Pingxi really has another purpose, it is impossible for us to guess this." "With just the little information Yan Wushuang gave, I can't guess it in my lifetime.

Lin Fengyuan smiled bitterly and said, "You're really right." Even if they were suspicious, they couldn't guess Yunqing's purpose.

Gu Jiu said: "General, it's also lunch time, let's eat first." Let's think about it after eating!" asked Gu Jiu to say that it was not their turn to worry about the war in Jiangnan. Anyway, it was impossible for Yan Wushuang to let their generals go to Jiangnan.

During the meal, Lin Fengyuan asked, "How is Master Lu in Zhuangzi?"

Gu Jiu smiled and said, "It's good." He also thought that Second Master Lu couldn't adapt to the life in Zhuangzi, after all, if he fell from a high place, many people would be decadent. But I didn't expect that Second Master Lu and Second Mrs. Lu adapted well. In the past few years, Master Lu has learned all the farm work of farming and vegetables, and he has planted it very well. I don't know, I thought he was an old farmer!

After saying this, Gu Jiu asked, "General, where is Lu Lin's little rabbit cub now? Is he still in Shu?" Gu Jiu was very ashamed of Lu Lin, and for the sake of his own future, he didn't even care about his parents and family.

Lin Fengyuan shook his head and said, "After the rebellion in Shu was quelled, Lu Lin was transferred to the West Sea. I heard that this matter was ordered by Han Yuxi himself. ”

Gu Jiu smacked his tongue and said, "In this way, Han Yuxi is also guarding against Lu Lin." But also, how can people who can ignore their parents believe it. "Lu Lin has been in Shu for so many years, and he must have cultivated a lot of henchmen, and it is also a dangerous thing to let Lu Lin in Shu.

Lin Fengyuan shook his head lightly and said, "This matter may not be as simple as we imagined. ”

Gu Jiu asked strangely, "General, how complicated can this matter be?"

Lin Fengyuan said: "Many things can't just look at the surface. Seeing Gu Jiu's puzzled expression, Lin Fengyuan said: "Think about it, if Yunqing and Han Yuxi win the world in the future, will the Lu family not decay if there is a Lu Lin?"

Gu Jiu's wide mouth could stuff an egg. After half a ring, Gu Jiu said: "General, what do you mean that Lu Lin's rebellion was actually instructed by Second Master Lu? Can't it? Dozens of people from the Lu family, big and small, can be in the capital! Even if Second Master Lu doesn't care about other people's lives, can he still put his own life and death aside?" Gu Jiu felt that Lin Fengyuan's guess was too unreliable.

Lin Fengyuan said: "I didn't say that it was instructed by Second Master Lu, I just said that once Yunqing wins the world, there will be no decay with Lu Lin in the Lu family." ”

Gu Jiu shook his head and said, "Han Yuxi is guarding against Lu Lin now, can you still count on him to revitalize the Lu family?"

Lin Fengyuan shook his head and said, "This may not be. Han Yuxi transferred Lu Lin to the West Sea, maybe it was to protect him, but it is not known!" "To be exact, it is to protect the Lu family, of course, these are just his guesses.

Gu Jiu said, "General, I think you're thinking too much. "Because I think too much, I often lose sleep.

Lin Fengyuan smiled and said, "Maybe!"

Gu Jiu couldn't help but gossip: "If Yunqing fails in this war, it's fine." If it succeeds, there will be beauties in Jiangnan, do you think Yunqing will accept two beauties back?"

Lin Fengyuan said expressionlessly: "What does the king of Pingxi have to do with you, why do you want to be so excited?"

Gu Jiule said hehehe: "Han Yuxi is a vinegar jar, if he accepts two beauties back, it is estimated that Han Yuxi will make a fuss." "It's not a big deal to watch the excitement.

Lin Fengyuan looked at Gu Jiu's stupid appearance and said slowly, "Then you are going to be disappointed." Even if the Jiangnan women all look like immortals, Yunqing will not want them. ”

Gu Jiu shook his head and said, "Speaking of which, Yunqing is also a hero, why is he afraid of his wife!"

Lin Fengyuan smiled: "How do you know that he is afraid of his wife instead of loving his wife? Besides, men don't rely on how many concubines they take to show their ability." ”

Thinking of Lin Fengyuan's background, Gu Jiu didn't dare to speak anymore.
