Xiao Nuan helped him take off his python robe, "Then I'll go back in a few days?" ”

The third master nodded.

Although even Xinglin Holy Hand Hua Yunqi can't determine that Xiao Nuan is pregnant with twins by touching the pulse, the third master doesn't want Xiao Nuan to take risks easily. However, in order to sit on the pretext that the small warm-up fetus is unstable and needs to recuperate in the house, it is necessary to let her enter the palace several times when she is still young in the fetal month.

Xiao Nuan handed him a cup of hot tea and asked, "The holy dragon body is not safe?" ”

The third master said softly, "Yishou Palace has announced the imperial doctor several times, but in my opinion, he was just frightened by the death of the imperial grandmother. ”

Xiao Nuan was puzzled, how could Emperor Jianlong say that he was also an emperor, and he would be frightened by the death of the Queen Mother?

At night, in Yishou Palace, Emperor Jianlong was reading the emergency military report sent back from the northwest, with a hint of distorted joy in the haze, "The rebel's arm is gone?" ”

Chen Mo, the secretary of the military department, knelt on the ground and replied, "This is what the scouts of the Dingbei Army saw with their own eyes, General Wuhuan was afraid of fraud, and used the details of the ambush in the rebels to confirm that the left arm of the great prince was gone when he entered the Black Mountain. ”

It is precisely because Chai Yanchang lacks his left arm and cannot raise a banner alone to rebel, so he has to take refuge in Yuantong and be embarrassed. It was also because of this that Jiang Changsheng gave up his desire to support the eldest prince as the emperor and turned his allegiance to the imperial court.

After the mystery in Emperor Jianlong's heart was solved, a thick anger rose. The two brothers, He Lan and He Qing, were both advisors around the Qing king. Especially He Lan, this person is resourceful and is the right-hand man of the Qing king. They have been by Chai Yanting's side all these years, and they must have given him advice.

Emperor Jianlong speculated that Chai Yanchang's escape from the capital was secretly helped by the He brothers, and cutting off his arm was also part of their strategy. hated Chai Yanchang, the rebel son, who couldn't see through their treachery, but instead helped him to do evil and oppose his biological father!

"Why is the prime minister of Yuantongli He Qing and not He Lan?" Emperor Jianlong asked again.

"This matter is also incomprehensible." Chen Mo replied in a low voice. It is said that He Lan's voice in Chai Yanting's Yu party should be much higher than He Qing's, and it is really intriguing to establish He Qing instead of He Lan.

Could it be that the rebels in Montenegro are at odds within?

Seeing that the saint was ugly, Chen Mo paused for a moment, and then said boldly, "Long live, the northwest has begun to snow, the Black Mountain rebels have lived in the northwest for a long time, and they are more cold-resistant than the Dingbei army. ”

The Dingbei Army and the Mobei Army totaled hundreds of thousands of horses, and the required food, grass and cold materials were so overwhelming that Chen Mo couldn't breathe.

Emperor Jianlong sent Wuhuan and Guo Yongjing to the northwest to quell the rebellion, hoping to take down the Montenegrin rebels before the weather froze. Who thought that the Montenegrin rebels had already been prepared, and established a solid defense according to the terrain, and the whole army cowered in the defense.

After the Dingbei Army of Wuhuan and the Mobei Army converged, they besieged the Montenegrin rebels on three sides, and there was no good way to break the enemy for a while. If the Northern Army withdraws, the Montenegrin rebels will set Montenegro to capture the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty and build a larger defense; If the Northern Army does not retreat, the grain and grass needed for a winter will not be more than ten thousand stones, how can it not make Chen Mo anxious.

According to this situation, it can be inferred that the 100,000 stone grain and grass prepared by Da Zhou this autumn must have been taken by the rebels, and they dared to take a defensive position only when they had a large amount of grain and grass in their hands.

Emperor Jianlong commanded with a calm face, "Give Chai Yantan another order, urging him to send more people to track down the whereabouts of grain and grass." Give Wuhuan a death order, and the enemy city must be destroyed within a month! ”

The holy decree was sent out at an expedited speed of eight hundred miles, and it was the next day when it reached Chai Yantan's hands.

Chai Yantan knelt down and scolded his mother in his heart after receiving the holy decree. This fucking mountain next to mountain, mountain after ridge, where does he find it? In order to prevent the Dingbei Army from being exposed to the enemy, he worked hard to intrigue with the garrisons in the northwest, is it easy for him? Did his father compliment him?

Damn, why should he be scolded for being frozen here, he wants to go back to Beijing!

"The king of the county, the deputy generals of the two military divisions of Gansu and Guazhou have arrived."

When Jiang Changsheng heard this, he said happily, "There must be grain in Guazhou, and the king of the county should find a way to let Guazhou produce grain, which should be able to solve the danger of the northern army and make the sacred heart happy." ”

Chai Yantan shook his sleeves, "I want to go to you, Lao Tzu is hungry, I want to drink mutton soup!" ”

"The last general commands." Jiang Changsheng walked out of the big tent, looked at the gloomy sky and sighed, complaining countless times why the Holy Lord sent him was not the third prince!

In the big tent of the Dingbei Army, the generalissimo Wu Huan, who received the holy decree, and Guo Yongjing, the vanguard general, surrounded the battle map, with a solemn face. Wuhuan said in a low voice, "What if we go around to the Khitan territory and form a four-sided encirclement of Montenegro?" ”

Guo Yongjing shook his head, "This plan sounds feasible at first glance, but Xiaowei has been dealing with the Khitan army for decades and knows them very well, it is impossible for the Khitan army to cooperate with us, let alone let us enter the Khitan and besiege the Montenegrin rebels, they can't wait to stand by and watch our liveliness!" ”

Wuhuan pondered for a moment, "It's better to send someone to talk to them before we discuss." ”

"If the marshal sends someone to go, I am afraid that there will be no return."

Although Wuhuan is young, he is calm and modest, "We don't directly send someone to talk to the Khitans, but find someone to mediate." If it does, it's the best policy. Spread the black horse. ”

Who can you find to mediate? Guo Yongjing was puzzled. Wuhuan smiled, "General Guo should have heard that Wu Huan's mother is from the Karasuma clan. ”

Three years ago, in the battle of the Black Mountain Pass, Wuhuan single-handedly persuaded the Karasuma general Nalu to make him and the Zhou army join forces to attack the Xiongnu and the Yan, Guo Yongjing of course knew, "The marshal wants the Karasuma people to be lobbyists?" ”

Wuhuan nodded, "Karasuma and Khitan often have dealings, so this matter will not be successful, and it will not hurt his life." ”

Guo Yongjing said tactfully, "In the battle three years ago, the Karasuma army turned against the water on the spot, which made the Xiongnu and the Yan Yan resentful, and as far as the last general knows, the Khitans are not polite to them. If it weren't for our army to help each other, Karasuma's territory would have been divided between the three of them. ”

Wu Huan was confident, "There are no eternal friends and enemies in this world, only eternal interests." How the Karasuma people have been doing in the past three years, the Khitan people have seen it, as long as the benefits we promise to them are enough, it is not impossible to borrow the way. ”

Guo Yongjing said with a smile, "The marshal's words sound a bit of a businessman. ”

"That's true." When his brother said this to him, Wuhuan also replied to his brother the same thing. The elder brother said that this is the code of conduct of Princess Chen Xiaonuan, whether it is a person or a ghost, it is universal.

Karasuma went to Karasuma to discuss the strategy, and King Karasuma agreed to send someone to the Khitan, but he mentioned that he needed to go with him. This person is the captain of the Mobei Military Academy, Hua Chi.

"Hua Chi?" Guo Yongjing was surprised, "Who is this?" ”

Wu Huan explained, "Hua Chi was born in a farming family, and he originally made a living in the grange of Princess Sheng's Ji County. Because the Mobei Army opened up the wasteland to grow cotton, Princess Sheng sent him to Mobei to be a cottonsmith. Later, because of his outstanding talent, he was awarded an official position by General Fujihu, and the 20,000 pieces of warm cotton clothes obtained by our Dingbei Army were planted by him. As for why King Karasuma ordered him to go with him, Wuhuan didn't know. ”

When Guo Yongjing heard this, he also became a little curious about Hua Chi, "The marshal called him over, and he will know as soon as he asks." ”

The territory of the northwest and Mobei is vast, and Mobei sent 30,000 people to encircle the Montenegrin rebels with the Dingbei army, but Huachi and other farming officials are of course not among them. After Wuhuan negotiated with the generals sent by Mobei, the generals sent a letter back and asked Mobei Generalissimo Teng Hu to decide. After receiving the order of Tenghu, Hua Chi rode a war horse and traveled hundreds of miles to see Wu Huan, it was already ten days later.
