Chapter 405

Liang Country, Yao City.

Situ Xie, like Duanmu Chen, followed the war closely.The difference is that Duanmuchen only cares about the war between the northern part of the Qian state and the Liang state, while Situ Xie also focuses on the war between the southern part of the Qian state and the Yan state.

Whether Yan Kingdom can break through Kasyapa City is very important to Liang Country.Therefore, when Situ Xie received the news that Yan Guo sent troops according to the time agreed with him and Ji Yuebai, he felt relieved.

Because in his opinion, as long as the two countries of Liang and Yan form a pincer attack on Qianguo, it will only be a matter of time before Qianguo is destroyed, and there is no other possibility at all.

Especially Mo Yan's assistance boosted Situ Xie's confidence and boosted his confidence, waiting for the good news ahead.

However, with the passage of time, after the smugness at the beginning of the war cooled down, the frequent battle reports made Situ Xie even more anxious: not only Xuanbei City could not be attacked for a long time, but Kaye City also showed no sign of being breached!
And during this period, the vanguard general of Xuanbei City has always been Situ Xie's grandson Qiu Jing, the former second prince of Liang Kingdom, it is even more difficult for the court, the people and the army to ignore it, and there have been many voices of resentment and dissatisfaction .Outsiders did not know the inside story of Qiu Jing's betrayal of the Liang Kingdom. They only thought it was caused by internal problems in the royal family, but they did not solve the hidden danger early.

Situ Xie's sons and grandchildren continued to speak out, strongly suggesting that the traitor Qiu Jing must be eliminated as soon as possible, saying that he was the disaster star of the Situ family in Liangguo, and only his death could stabilize the hearts of the army and the people.

This was also the reason why when Nan Gonglin and Yue Mei came to see Situ Xie and were willing to work for him, he decided to let them go to solve Qiu Jing.Not only "old grievances", but also "new enmity", as well as the needs of the current war.

Situ Xie counted the time, waiting for the news of Nan Gonglin and Yue Mei's success.Ordinarily, one of them is Qiu Jing's master, and the other is a master of poisonous arts. If they join forces to deal with Qiu Jing, even if Qiu Cong is there, it will not be a big problem.

When Situ Xie's expected time came, he just received the news: Qiu Jing, who had been the vanguard general since the start of the war, did not show up, and another young general with a fresh face went into battle.

The new general is Bai Yang, and Situ Xie got the news from the day Bai Yang led troops to kill the enemy for the first time.

Although Bai Yang was strong in martial arts, he still managed to stop the army of Liang Kingdom outside Xuanbei City, but this day's news made Situ Xie smile for the first time since the war started.His children and grandchildren, who hated Qiu Jing so much, even drank wine to celebrate, saying they would "see him off" for Qiu Jing.

Regardless of whether it was public or private, it was good news for them that Qiu Jing was gone.

It's a pity that they were happy too early... Because in the new battle report sent the next day, Qiu Jing reappeared, and as the leading general of Qianguo vanguard, he led the army to repel Liangguo's army.

If you were happy yesterday, you will reap double the depression today.

But Situ Xie asked Nan Gonglin and Yue Mei to go to Mo Yan if they encountered obstacles. He thought that as long as Mo Yan made a move, Qiu Jing would not be able to hide.

They just waited and waited. In the following battle reports, every time Bai Yang replaced Qiu Jing in the battle, the people of the Situ family thought that Qiu Jing had been captured by them, but Qiu Jing would always show up on time the next day.

After such three consecutive rounds of substitutions, although it was only six or seven days, Situ Xie still felt that something unexpected must have happened, otherwise Qiu Jing would not have been fine.

Situ Xie didn't arrange for the masters around him to kill Qiu Jing again.If Nangong Lin, Yuemei and Mo Yan couldn't do it, it would be futile to send anyone else.But Situ Xie didn't think that the three of them could not do it together, but suspected that Mo Yan didn't do it.

Therefore, Situ Xie planned to send a confidant to meet Mo Yan, inquire about the situation, and ask Mo Yan to think of a way to break through Xuanbei City as soon as possible.Otherwise, Liangguo would not be able to last too long with the food and grass provided by Yanguo.

It's just that before the people were dispatched, Situ Xie received a piece of news that made his face change instantly: Qianguo secretly dispatched troops from Kaye City to go north before the war started!
The reason why Situ Xie only found out about this matter now is because Yan Guo and Qian Guo tried their best to cover up these secret actions in order to confuse Liang Guo.Especially the Yan Kingdom, which is now dispatching a large army to attack Kasyapa City every day, how could the royal family of the Liang Kingdom think that the Yan Kingdom is actually just pretending?

And this news made Situ Xie very angry!This not only shows that Qianguo knew that Liangguo was about to go to war, but also that the Qianguo royal family believed that it was more important to resist Liangguo's attack, and there was no need to worry about not being able to defend the south!

You must know that the Yan Kingdom, which has been watching the fire from the other side these years, occupies unique natural resources, and its national strength is not weaker than that of the Qian and Liang countries, and its military strength is not weak.

When this happens, there is only one possibility: Ji Yuebai is a liar!He said he would cooperate with Liang country, but in fact he secretly colluded with Qian country!

"Grandfather, could it be that Qianguo thinks that Liangguo has stronger troops, so it sent some soldiers from the south to go north?" Situ Jing couldn't understand, "Ji Yuebai has no reason to collude with Qianguo, if so, why should he Send us so much food and grass?"

That's right, food and grass... Situ Xie recalled how Ji Yuebai's master was so forthright when he came to discuss with him. He was willing to provide food and grass to Liangguo first, which was full of sincerity. Before today, there was no doubt about the cause of the problem in Yan Kingdom.

However, he was cheated and slapped in the face so that Situ Xie was caught off guard. He was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood!

Seeing Situ Xie's gloomy and terribly gloomy face, Situ Jing realized that the worst situation had really happened: Yan Country was not only an ally of Liang Country, but also became Qian Country's backing!
"Gu Ling... Su Liang..." Situ Xie gritted his teeth, "It must be their fault! Duanmu Chen doesn't have such a great ability to persuade Ji Yuebai! Maybe it was Gu Ling who made Ji Yuebai the crown prince. Secretly helping each other! At that time, Gu Ling's whereabouts were unknown!"

Situ Jing frowned fiercely, "Then... can we have a truce?" If we continue to fight, there is no chance of winning.

Situ Xie said coldly, "The grain and grass are the bait! We've already taken the bait, do you think they'll stop the war if we stop the war?"

A gust of wind blew in through the window, and Situ Jing felt a chill on the back of his neck. For the first time, he felt that Liangguo was in danger of destroying the country.

"That mysterious master! Will he have a solution? Let him kill Gu Ling and Su Liang! Our obstacles will be reduced a lot! Then kill Duanmu Chen and Ji Yuebai!" Situ Jing clenched his fists Say.

"It's not that easy." Situ Xie said coldly.Mo Yan had long said that he would arrange for his people to kill Duanmu Chen. A few days ago, Situ Xie received news that Gu Ling had become the regent of the Qian Kingdom. Duanmu Chen reappeared unharmed.

"It's hard to deal with Qianguo, so let's kill Ji Yuebai who lied to us first!" Situ Jing said sharply, "Take his son as a hostage! Let's see if he listens!"

Situ Xie did not answer Situ Jing's words, but wrote a new letter and asked his confidant to take it to Mo Yan.

After the person left, Situ Jing spoke again, "Father, is the man surnamed Mo really credible? Could it be that he also colluded with Gu Ling and Su Liang?"

Situ Xie once commented that Su Liang is best at demagoguery.Now that even Ji Yuebai has unreasonably formed an alliance with Qianguo, Situ Jing feels that the mysterious Mo Yan is also very suspicious.

Situ Xie narrowed his eyes, and shook his head after a while, "He is not the same as Gu Ling and Su Liang."

"But, will he really help us?" Situ Jing asked again.

Situ Xie was really not sure about this question.But he knew that Mo Yan, Gu Ling and Su Liang were enemies, and an enemy's enemy was a friend.However, thinking that there was no exchange of interests between the royal family of Liang Kingdom and Mo Yan, Situ Xie felt uneasy, because he still didn't know what Mo Yan wanted to achieve when he came out of the mountain...

But until now, there is no turning back when the bow is opened.Liangguo started the war first, even if Liangguo wanted to stop, Qianguo would not let it go.

Situ Xie asked his confidants to bring the letter telling Mo Yan that Yan Guo secretly colluded with Qian Guo and set up a trick for Liang Guo, so that Mo Yan must help Liang Guo reverse the situation no matter what method he uses, otherwise their cooperation is doomed. fail.

……

In addition to sending people to look for Mo Yan, later that day, Situ Xie issued another imperial decree to the Peng family, ordering Peng Wei, who had already disarmed, to go to Nanping City on the same day, and also asked Peng Wei's only grandson to go with him. Let's go to battle together.

When the Peng family received the imperial decree, they dared not speak out.Peng Wei is old, and he was seriously injured before he retired. Although Su Liang recovered from his injuries and saved his life, his current body is not suitable for leading troops to fight.As for Peng Wei, the only grandson of the third generation, he had already asked the previous emperor, Situ Han, not to let his grandson go to the battlefield.

Even if the Peng family is not on the front line, they understand the current situation. The Liang Kingdom wants to attack the Qian Kingdom, but Xuanbei City has not yet been broken through nearly half a month since the war started.

The three generations of the Peng family knew very well that Situ Xie ordered Peng Wei to take his grandson to Nanping City at this time. It was not because he really expected the old Peng Wei or his young and inexperienced grandson to lead the army, but because the Peng family was not as good as today. The general Xing Ji of Xuanbei City, Su Liang and Gu Ling all have some past friendships!
This is obviously to let the grandparents of the Peng family go there on purpose to see if Xing Ji will show mercy to their subordinates, and even push the grandparents of the Peng family as hostages if necessary.

But the imperial decree has been issued, so I have to accept it, and I have to go.The Peng family has been from Liang Kingdom for generations, and they are generals. If they resist the decree, no one will care how much credit they have made, and it will cause a catastrophe.

Peng Wei's son, Peng Qian, was seriously ill, and he had already recovered after being treated by Su Liang. He really couldn't bear to see his elderly father forced to go to the battlefield, so he entered the palace and begged to take his father's place.

Situ Xie said a few high-sounding words, but in the end he really changed his mind, and asked Peng Qian to go instead of his son. As for Peng Wei, he had to go no matter what.Situ Xie said that Peng Wei was needed at the border.

So, Peng Wei, Peng Qian and his son left Yaocheng and headed southward for Nanping City that day.

Peng Wei's body couldn't bear to ride a horse for a long time. Peng Qian proposed to let his father take a carriage, but the accompanying military officer sent by Situ Xie was very tough, saying that the emperor had set a time, and he had to arrive at Yaocheng within a deadline. Wei is considerate of them.

Peng Qian's heart was full of anger, but he was persuaded by Peng Wei, saying that he was fine, he could hold on, and not to cause trouble.

……

The situation of three-thirds of the world has been maintained for nearly a hundred years. Although there are occasional wars between the Liang country and the Qian country, it has never caused any fundamental impact on the two countries.

However, with the great changes in the royal family of the Three Kingdoms in the past two years, the throne has been changed one after another. Last year, the Yan Kingdom attacked Jiaye City and was repelled. Therefore, when Liang Kingdom began to attack Xuanbei City this time, even ordinary people felt that this day , is really about to change.

As time went by, the stalemate in the war was nothing to the army of the Qian State, as long as they blocked the attack of the Liang State, it was their victory, but it was obvious that the army of the Liang State was becoming more and more impetuous from top to bottom.

Xing Ji and Qiu Jing analyzed together and felt that this was also an inevitable result.Liangguo has always wanted to fight because of the lack of food and grass, but he dare not go to war easily, but this does not mean that Liangguo's army will have the strength to crush Qianguo's army after solving the food and grass problem.

Xing Ji participated in the war between the two countries when he was young, and he has been paying attention to the changes in the Liang army over the years. Except for Peng Wei, the other generals really have nothing to make him afraid, but Peng Wei is already old. Peng Wei's son-in-law and the whole family They were wiped out by Su Liang and Gu Ling in the past two years.

In the past two years, the strength of Qian country's army has increased significantly, thanks to Su Liang's military training plan, as well as her measures to improve the army's food and medical conditions.Although Duanmu Yi is now abolished, he was considered a wise man when he was in power, and he valued Su Liang very much, and he implemented many of her suggestions seriously.

At the level of generals, it is said that there is a shortage of people, but the current group of young generals, including Qiu Jing, Nian Jincheng, and Lin Qi, all have the ability to play their own roles, and even Bai Yang has grown rapidly.In addition, there is Lin Bojun who guards the capital.Not to mention that Gu Ling and Su Liang are also proficient military generals who are familiar with the art of war and have turned the tide more than once.

Therefore, Xing Ji and Qiu Jing didn't think they would lose in the head-on war under the condition that Yan Kingdom would not get involved, but they were just worried that the mysterious forces that Su Liang repeatedly reminded to beware of would be behind the scenes.

A few days ago, Nan Gonglin sent a letter to meet with Qiu Cong and Qiu Jing, but the two did not go, and then waited and waited, but Nan Gonglin did not make any movement.

Qiu Cong, who was waiting for Nangong Lin to appear and kill him, was so angry that he cursed, "He must have been struck to death by lightning, right?!"

Qi Jun nodded solemnly, "It's really possible."

On this day, Xing Ji once again received a secret decree from the capital.It is said to be a secret decree, but every time Duanmuchen sends someone to come, he will intimately inform the Xing family and the Su family and ask them to write a letter to bring it.Putting the others aside, Xing Ji opened Duanmuchen's secret decree, a little surprised.

Duanmu Chen ordered Xing Ji to take the initiative to propose a truce agreement with Liang Guo.

Qiu Jing came back from outside the city with his troops. After seeing the secret decree, he frowned and thought for a moment, "The emperor's decree must have been discussed with Gu Ling and Su Liang. I suspect that Su Liang might be worried about continuing the fight. People are going to be unable to hold back and make ruthless moves."

"But will Nanping City agree to peace talks?" Bai Yang asked.

"As long as we bring up such a big matter, they will have to ask Situ Xie for instructions. It is possible to suspend the fighting." Qiu Jing explained to Bai Yang.

Xing Ji was thoughtful, "Yan Kingdom is our ally, we can't hide it from Situ Xie for too long, he should know about it."

The letter from Nangongqian sent at the same time showed that Nangonglin was indeed lying before.

But Su Liang's letter said something that surprised both Xing Ji and Qiu Jing: If the old man Mo Yan, who is suspected to be the leader of a mysterious force, appears and wants to arrest or kill you, or attack the city with explosives, tell him one thing. I am his granddaughter, let him come to see me in the capital.

"This..." Qiu Cong was confused, "Is it true? Is this Xiaoliang's trick to lure the enemy?"

Xing Ji thinks about Su Liang's life experience. Although it is well known that she is Su Yuanzhou's granddaughter, no one knows who her mother is. Therefore, Xing Ji suspects that what Su Liang said in his letter may be true!

"Could it be that Su Liang just found out about this matter? Because of those assassins?" Qiu Jing felt that if Su Liang knew about it earlier, he would definitely not say it now.

"It should be." Xing Ji nodded, "In short, according to what Xiaoliang means, that Moyan is extremely dangerous, so please be more careful in the future. Just like what she said before, avoid private contact. If the other party doesn't come to us, don't make extra troubles. When Liang’s army comes back tomorrow, let them know that there is a truce and peace talks.”

It was night, in an unremarkable private house in Nanping City.

Mo Yan saw He Wei whose arm was blown off and half of his face was covered with scars.

"What's going on?" Mo Yan asked coldly.

He Wei knelt down with his head down, "Master, Gu Ling and Su Liang are too cunning, and they seem to have foreseen our actions and set up an ambush. Everyone else is gone." When he was injured and fled the capital, He thought that Duanmuchen would be seriously injured even if he was not dead, but on the way, he heard that Duanmuchen was fine at all.

"How did you get hurt like this?" Mo Yan helped He Wei up.

He Wei sighed deeply, "I was bombed." He didn't say that he was bombed by himself, but deliberately obscured the matter, making Mo Yan acquiesce that he was injured by Gu Ling and Su Liang.

Sure enough, Mo Yan didn't ask, "How are Rou'er and the others?"

He Wei shook his head, "Rou'er was given a marriage, but I thought at the time that I would kill Duanmu Chen soon, so it would be fine. I didn't go to see them during that time, and I was afraid that there would be trouble." Because his daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter After being in contact with Su Liang, He Qianqian would recognize that Su Liang's appearance was similar to Mo Yan's daughter. He Wei had to deny that he had met He Qianqian during the period, and insisted that he had never seen what Su Liang looked like with his own eyes. Only in this way can he conceal the fact that he knows that Su Liang is probably Mo Yan's granddaughter.

"I see. If you go again this time, who do you think Gu Ling and Su Liang are the ones I'm looking for?" Mo Yan asked.

He Wei immediately replied, "It's Gu Ling. Su Liang didn't show up and took care of the children at home. It was almost Gu Ling who ruined our action alone. If the master wants Gu Ling to leave, he must kill Su Liang. He is extremely powerful , is difficult to deal with, but on the way back, this subordinate kept thinking that the only thing that can frustrate him and make him collapse is Su Liang's death!"

After He Wei finished speaking, Mo Yan nodded, "I have sent Yue Mei and Nan Gonglin to the capital to kill Su Liang, and they should be almost here."

He Wei was overjoyed, but suddenly found a problem.Yue Mei is very familiar with Shen Qingxue, and she also knows that Shen Qingxue gave birth to a daughter for Mo Yan, if she sees Su Liang's face, will something unexpected happen?
But soon, He Wei felt that Yue Mei, like him, found out that Su Liang might be Shen Qingxue's granddaughter, and would definitely use all means to put Su Liang to death before Mo Yan found out about it!Firstly, Shen Qingxue is what Yue Mei hates the most, and secondly, Su Liang is the one she wants to kill. If Mo Yan knows that Su Liang gains power, Yue Mei will undoubtedly die.

In this way, He Wei was a little relieved.

"Liangguo's trash, after such a long time, not even a single city can be captured." He Wei mentioned the current battle situation.

Mo Yan said coldly, "I'm almost ready to blow up the walls of Xuanbei City tomorrow."
