readx;
The turbulent situation within Yanjing became more and more turbulent and chaotic due to Situ Tai's hurried arrangement of Yanyun's defense with Zhao Chenghuai and Situ Yushuang's illness, and the entire political and economic elites in Yanjing became restless because of the end of the First World War in the clouds.

The original plan to launch an attack on Jinzhong with the city guards and the Eighth Army has been put on hold, and the battle in Yunzhong has actually decided the direction of the situation in the north of the entire empire, and Jinzhong has nothing to do with the overall situation, and the Praetorian Guards who stayed in Yanjing City also feel a little panicked, where should the future situation of the empire go? The attitude of the Imperial Yulin Army is extremely ambiguous, although their strength is nothing in Ma Yuanxiang's eyes, the total is only about 10,000 people, what can be helped, but once the Praetorian Guard remains neutral, these forces will become quite important, and this part of the security forces of the Imperial Police Headquarters and the Yanjing Police Department seems to be important all of a sudden. But can the Janissaries remain neutral? and what about the City Guards?
Ma Yuan had a headache, Yusuf this guy has brought the remnants of the city guards and the Third Army to Yanjing, and put forward a request to himself to enter Yanjing, according to the practice of the empire, the city guard can only have one division stationed in the city, and other field legions are not allowed to enter Yanjing City, but this practice has long been destroyed when the three kings entered Beijing, and now Yusuf proposed to enter the capital It does not seem to be inappropriate, after all, after the first battle in the clouds, Li Wufeng has completely reversed his disadvantage in the north, and more than 100,000 rangers gathered in the north, His Royal Highness King Yan now needs to consider not only if the Western Frontier Army is defeated, but how to prevent the various impacts brought about by the change of attack and defense after the Battle of Yunzhong. The Cangzhou front line is all within the attack range of the Western Xinjiang Army, and the Duotun and Poole seem to have completely lost confidence, although Yulin is still in the hands of the Poole people, and the Western Xinjiang does not seem to be busy launching an offensive against Yulin, but Ma Yuanxiang can be sure that the Poole people do not have the support of His Royal Highness King Yan's military force, they cannot face the Western Xinjiang Army alone, and it is inevitable to withdraw from Yulin, sooner or later.
Now it seems that there is no one to trust, Ma Yuanxiang, who has the largest armed force in the entire Yanjing City, does not know who he should listen to, although the undercurrent in Yanjing City is turbulent, Ma Yuanxiang also knows that those forces that are pro-Li Wufeng's family have jumped out and have frequent activities, but no one has come to the door to persuade him until now, but Ma Yuanxiang knows that as long as he shows a little bit of tone, he is afraid that the lobbyists in the western Xinjiang will step through the threshold, and solving the Yanjing problem without blood is probably a good thing that Li Wufeng dreams of.
Ma Yuanxiang has gone to the house of Her Royal Highness the Thirteenth Princess twice to visit the condition of the Thirteenth Princess, but Her Royal Highness the Thirteenth Princess's condition still does not seem to improve, the imperial doctor has already diagnosed, the heart is overly haggard and typhoid fever, so that this strange woman who has been helping the Situ family to support the overall situation in Yanjing finally can't bear it anymore, she has been groggy for a few days, it seems that it is rare to recover in a short time, Situ Tai has gone to Beiping, that is his old nest, once Yanyun collapses, I am afraid that the civil war in the empire should be declared over, in fact, Ma Yuanxiang seems to have a feeling of looking forward to the arrival of this day earlier, Now this kind of life makes him want to stop, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope in the Situ family, he has to do everything in his power to complete this duty, this is his promise to His Royal Highness the Thirteenth Princess after the release of his favorite concubine Ai'er, although after Situ Biao in the south announced that the five lakes and Jiangnan were all in the hands of Li Wufeng, Ma Yuanxiang knew that he was afraid that the Situ Dynasty should really die.
Sighing lightly, although Ma Yuanxiang didn't have much of a good impression of Li Wufeng, he still had to admire this comet-like rising figure, although Yanjing was not yet under his control, but the western frontier was actually completely open to Yanjing, from Longquan to Jinzhong, from Huanggang to Jiujiang, food and various daily necessities were continuously imported into Yanjing, and the prices in Yanjing, which had been high or not, fell down all of a sudden, regardless of whether the other party bought people's hearts or not, but being able to do this was enough to show the other party's confidence and mind, and even the servants in their own mansion couldn't help but murmur to themselves that maybe this world should really be His Royal Highness King Qin to sit down, which made Ma Yuanxiang have mixed feelings.
The staunch supporters of His Royal Highness King Yan in Yanjing also seem to have split, and many people have begun to become ambiguous from support, from ambiguity to silence, from silence to covert activities, all of this is like a metamorphosis process, constantly playing out in many people, Ma Yuanxiang doesn't know if he will become like this one day. The surname is the most unpredictable, even if he promised His Royal Highness the Thirteenth Princess, but many times, some things cannot be transferred by his own will.
"My lord, there is a guest outside the door asking to see you. The servant called softly, and the horse was awakened from his contemplation.
"Didn't I say that, except for Her Royal Highness the Thirteenth Princess, someone from the palace can call me, and I don't see anyone else?" glanced at the old servant who was a little cowering with some impatience, how could this old servant still make mistakes in this kind of thing after following him for so many years, what is going on with him today?
"My lord, the identity of the guest is a little special, so the old slave dared to invite him into the mansion to wait. The old servant hung his head, and although there was some uneasiness in his words, he was very sure.
"Oh, who is it?" Ma Yuanxiang suddenly felt that something was wrong, his old servant was not the kind of person who did not know how to be the master of his own affairs at will.
"My lord, it's General Huangfu. Although the sound was small, it hit Ma Yuanxiang like a thunderbolt, and Ma Yuanxiang couldn't help but gently ripple the teacup in his hand, and paddled out a lot of water.
"Huangfu Tiancheng, he's so big?!" Anger and excitement mixed with a hint of panic rolled in Ma Yuan's chest, took a heavy sip of tea, and took a few deep breaths in a row, Ma Yuanxiang gradually calmed down his mood, "Hmph, what is he doing here, isn't he a lobbyist for Li Wufeng?!"
The old servant didn't dare to speak, but just bowed his head and said nothing. The room was filled with a depressing atmosphere, Ma Yuanxiang was also struggling fiercely in his heart, it seemed that Li Wufeng's lobbying offensive finally fell on his head, and he dared to let Huangfu Tiancheng come, he simply regarded Yanjing as nothing, and did not take the risks of existence in his eyes at all, Ma Yuanxiang was a little confused and a little lost, the person who decided the fate of this city was no longer himself, nor was he any person in this city, but had long become Li Wufeng who was thousands of miles away in Hanzhong Mansion.
"Go and invite him in, I think I should have a good talk with him, for so many years, I want to find a suitable opportunity to talk to him in the right state of mind, but it has always been unrealizable, so let's take this opportunity, maybe this kind of opportunity will not be possible again in the future. In the end, he took his eyes back from the distant view outside the window, and said lightly.
Huangfu Tiancheng sat in the waiting room on Ma Yuan's house, looking very peaceful, he took the initiative to invite Ying to come to Yanjing to see Ma Yuanxiang, the first battle in the clouds has decided the fate of the Situ family, although he has no special friendship with his old boss, but he has been the head of the division for so many years, the other party has never been sorry for himself, and even at some times he has intentionally or unintentionally supported himself, Huangfu Tiancheng is not a heartless person, the big ship of the Situ family is about to sink, even if the old boss is unwilling to go to His Royal Highness King Qin, the giant ship that has just set sail, but there is no need to accompany the Situ family to perish, Huangfu Tiancheng didn't want to see this scene, he didn't want to see the Praetorian Guard, which he was once proud of, being beaten to pieces in the rolling tide of history.
Sitting calmly opposite his old boss, Huangfu Tiancheng was very calm, and Ma Yuanxiang on the opposite side was also quite safe, although the two belonged to different camps at this time, but the mood at this time seemed to be more relaxed and closer.
"My lord, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know if my body is good?" In front of his old boss, Huangfu Tiancheng did not have too many restraints, this was his usual style.
"It's okay, born to work hard, even if you want to be idle, you are trapped by many fetters. Ma Yuanxiang felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and he could see that the other party was quite valued by Li Wufeng in the Western Xinjiang camp, and he heard that the second division of the Praetorian Guard Army was supplemented by a large number of excellent soldiers as soon as it entered Jinzhong, and it was immediately restored to a full division. However, all the officers were retained, and it seemed that Li Wufeng also trusted him.
"Hehe, it seems that it is difficult to separate from the word labor after changing the soldier, hard work, it has never been difficult to get rid of it, it seems that adults have a deep understanding of it, and Tiancheng has only gradually realized this in recent years. Huangfu Tiancheng nodded.
"Tiancheng, it seems that you are doing well in the Western Xinjiang, seeing your radiant appearance, the old man is also happy for you. Ma Yuanxiang's words were sincere, as the anger gradually subsided when he heard it just now, Ma Yuanxiang slowly regained his calmness, everyone has different choices and cannot force the same, not to mention who can say that it is a mistake to choose the ascendant Western Xinjiang now? I am afraid that only a stubborn person like himself would be so persistent.
