This New Year is the most boring time Qin Feng has ever had. Although there are many people in the huge palace of Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info there is no Min Ruoxi, and there is no pair of children, it is suddenly deserted. After returning to Yuejing City with Xiaowen Xiaowu, the monk's wife Yu Xiu'e took Xiaowen Xiaowu to the house to take care of it, Qin Feng was too busy and really didn't have the energy to take care of these two children. In the past, Min Ruoxi and Aunt Ying had always taken care of Xiaowen Xiaowu and handed them over to the eunuchs and maids in the palace to take care of, but Qin Feng was reluctant and not at ease.

In the past, when I celebrated the New Year, I would either eat meat and drink wine with my brothers, or I would reunite as a family to enjoy a rare few days of vacation, but this New Year, Qin Feng had to spend it alone. Min Ruoxi wants to return to Chu State, but she is afraid that when the New Year's bell rings, the Taiping she is riding is still drifting on the sea, and she doesn't know how far it is from Quanzhou.

The relationship with the Qi State suddenly became tense, and Qin Feng didn't want to see the Chu State being beaten to the point that he couldn't turn over completely. In Zhaoguan, Wu Ling had already begun to provoke, and Li Xiaoya's cavalry repeatedly crossed the line, which caused great pressure on Xian Bisong, forcing him to ask for reinforcements from Chang'an day after day. In Lingchuan County, after the Thunderbolt battalion captured the city, Wu Teng immediately led tens of thousands of Xinning District into the northwest of Qi State, attacking the city and plundering land all the way, and the army rolled from the northwest to the hinterland of Qi State. And the wind-chasing battalion led by Yu Chao protected Wu Teng's grain route in the rear.

Qin Feng knew very well that he was dancing on top of a sharp knife, if one was not good, there would be a possibility of cutting himself, and controlling the war within a certain range was what the Ming State was pursuing, so that the Chu State would hurt his vitality but he also had a certain ability to resist the Qi State, which was quite difficult to control.

Of course, this also depends on the determination of the Qi State to completely eliminate Min Ruoying's main force. If Qi Guo withstood the pressure, then Da Ming's plan would fall into vain, and it would make the already tense relationship between the two sides even more dangerous.

Cooking oil over a blazing fire, nothing more.

As the secretary of the military department, the kitten was not in Yuejing at the moment, but went to Zhaoguan, first, to inspect the troops there and control the harassment of the Qi country, Qin Feng was a little worried that Wu Ling would make a big deal out of it. He didn't want to start an all-out war with the Qi people right now. Second, rewarding meritorious soldiers with the land of Yiyang, Wuling, and Taoyuan counties is a big deal, and kittens also need to be supervised, which is related to the morale and combat effectiveness of the army's soldiers.

The battle ahead is tense, and it is naturally impossible for the monk to come back, and the Ruijin battalion, which was originally ready to withdraw its troops, has now been stationed in Yiyang, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

The only wild dog in Yuejing City, since Qin Feng approved his marriage to Xu Yu, the whole person has been very excited, and the injury has not completely healed, so he enthusiastically devoted himself to work. The first thing in front of him was the reorganization of the City Gate Army, which was reorganized into the Yulin Army, not only to ensure their loyalty to the city, but also to improve their combat effectiveness. If you want to stay, you can, but you have to show your skills. Whether it is a child of a poor family or a rich and powerful person, the wild dog is treated equally, and there is no room for a little sand in his tendon head.

So Qin Feng looked around during the New Year, and there was nowhere to go.

The monk is not at home, the kitten is not at home, and the wild dog is at home, but now that he has a wife, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law in his home, it is not suitable for him to touch the door. At least it will make people's families uneasy for a year.

Therefore, Qin Feng could only stay in the palace honestly, during which although Ziluo had warmly invited him to go to heaven and earth to watch the large-scale dance they had just re-choreographed, Qin Feng also politely declined.

When my wife is not at home, I go to the heavens and the earth, but it is yellow mud and pants, and it is not but. Moreover, the group of imperial histories in the Imperial History Observatory are also slowly taking on some appearances, they are not the people of the Supervision Division, they are obedient to themselves, among these people, many of them have just graduated from the Beijing Normal University, or are scholars who have come out of the Daming Science Examination, and their minds are full of thoughts of loyalty to the monarch and serving the country, if they go to the heavens and the earth by themselves fall into their eyes, they are afraid that there will be excerpts to advise them the next day, although they can't hurt themselves at all, but this face is crackling, Qin Feng can't stand it.

After Qin Feng gave the New Year's money as usual, Yu Xiu'e left the palace with the three little guys like a gust of wind, claiming that she didn't dare to delay His Majesty's day, but Qin Feng knew that the female tyrannosaurus was taking the dolls to the wild dog's house again.

Looking at the empty palace, Qin Feng could only sigh, sat alone behind the big case, and began to look at the excerpts.

Although it is said that during the Chinese New Year, almost all the ministries and offices have closed their doors and rested, this does not mean that there is nothing to do, and the information that should appear on Qin Feng's desk will still appear in front of his eyes normally.

This emperor is quite uninteresting. While criticizing the folds, Qin Feng sighed.

"Your Majesty, Commander Guo asks to see you!" Father-in-law Le was not there, and another old eunuch was waiting in front of him, which was recommended to Qin Feng when Father-in-law Le accompanied Min Ruoxi away, it was better to be honest, and because he was old, he didn't have any ideals, he just wanted to retire quietly in the palace.

"Let him in." Qin Feng, who was bored with himself, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and finally came to someone who could talk to him for a while.

"Your Majesty." Walking into the study, Guo Jiuling saluted Qin Feng.

"Lao Guo is here, sit down quickly." Qin Feng happily pointed to the chair in front of his big case and said, "You must have gone to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, is it a good thing or a bad thing?" ”

Guo Jiuling smiled and said, "Your Majesty, is this really a good thing or a bad thing?" The matter is with Yu An Ruhai and his Western Army. ”

"An Ruhai!" Qin Feng's mind came up with the appearance of this person, to be honest, he was not familiar with An Ruhai, he had only met once, that is, when he first arrived in the capital, he was trapped by this guy and thrown into the prison. Since then, we haven't seen each other again. After the Shangjing Incident, he traveled thousands of miles, and the former commander of the internal security of Great Chu went to Anyang to rebuild the Western Army. "He has entered the territory of Qi State, what is his plan now?"

"Under the scriptures, when An Ruhai came out of the Luoying Mountain Range, there were still more than 8,000 people. It is normal for him to make trouble in the Qi realm, but he also made a request to our eagle nest to help him through the internal guard of Chu, and the leader of the eagle's nest in the Qi realm ordered all the eagle nests in the Qi realm to help An Ruhai without His Majesty's permission, collect information on the garrison for him, guide them to attack the granaries and post stations of the Qi people, and even some help them raise food and so on. Guo Jiuling said: "So Your Majesty, the minister is here to ask for sin today." This guy is too cowardly. ”

Qin Feng laughed: "Commander Guo, you're not here to ask for his guilt, you're here to ask for merit for him, right?" What's the name of this guy, it's very good, with such determination, with such action, he is a good seedling. ”

"His name is Ma Zhaoxu, he was originally an errand boy in the city gate army, because he was implicated in the escape of Wu Jing in Tonggong that year, and later came to the Eagle's Nest, and gradually emerged, and was just appointed as the chief leader of the Eagle's Nest in Qi State." Guo Jiuling introduced.

"Tonggong Wujing incident!" Qin Feng smiled, it was originally a shocking conspiracy planned by the Eagle's Nest itself, but because in this one matter, many of his own people died, so it has always become a secret, and the core figure of that matter is now the largest spy buried outside the Ming Empire, and has played a pivotal role in the extermination of the barbarians, and now it has taken a good position in the Qi army, and the future can be expected. People like Ma Zhaoxu are all innocent people, and the Eagle's Nest finally got him in, which is nothing more than a kind of compensation psychology, but like Ma Zhaoxu, he can rise so quickly in a few years, which also shows that this person is quite capable.

"This Ma Zhaoxu is not very good at leading the troops, but doing this is like a fish in water, and he is quite decisive, if he follows the normal procedure this time, I am afraid that even the daylily will be cold." Guo Jiuling said: "Qi Guo made a lot of effort to sort out the internal defense of Chu earlier, but it was cheaper for us. ”

"What is An Ruhai's plan? You should see it now, right? Qin Feng asked.

The smile on Guo Jiuling's face disappeared, when he was in the internal guard, An Ruhai was the commander, he was the deputy commander, although the two said that they did not have a deep personal relationship, they had also been cooperating for twenty years. "He's just afraid he doesn't want to live. He burned and plundered all the way, never stopping at every place, and now his men were all armed with the mules and horses they had stolen, and they went straight to the east. ”

"All the way east?" Qin Feng said with some astonishment.

"Yes, Ma Zhaoxu went to see him once." Guo Jiuling said: "What An Ruhai wants is to fight to Chang'an City. Your Majesty, do you say he is crazy? ”

Qin Feng also fell silent, "He's not crazy, he's putting pressure on the Qi country, listening to what you said, I'm afraid that where his army passes, there will be no grass." ”

"It's about the same, he looted food, burned what he couldn't use, drove the crowd, burned down the houses, and killed a lot of people, but these were the gentry and magnates of the Qi State who were caught by him. Now his troops all have the strength of their feet, and their speed is even faster. And after Ma Zhaoxu heard about his plan, he was also actively preparing intelligence for An Ruhai along the road. Guo Jiuling shook his head and said: "But now his situation is not optimistic, there is interception in the front, and preparations in the back, anyway, he is an enemy in all directions, even though there are not many elite troops, most of them are county soldiers, county soldiers, but this time people are also ruthless to arrest him." ”

"A good general. Also a good subordinate. Qin Feng sighed: "Tell Ma Zhaoxu to help him as much as possible!" ”
