Chapter 178 I'm Tired to Death

Qin Yin leaned on the pillow, half sitting and half lying on the couch.

Seeing Taishi Huang, he supported the armrest with one hand, and with the other he wanted to lift the blanket off his body, thinking of getting up to entertain guests.

Grand Master Huang hurriedly stepped forward and stopped his movement: "No, no."

Qin Yin followed the good trend and leaned on the pillow again.

"Your Majesty is not on duty in the Yamen," Qin Yin motioned for Grand Master Huang to take a seat, "Why do you come to visit me here?"

Grand Master Huang smiled: "Come and visit Old Houye."

Of course there is selfishness, and the visit is true.

Taishi Huang looked Yongninghou up and down, seeing his expression, felt chilly in his heart.

Marquis Yongning seemed to be in worse condition than Taifu Xu.

Or, to put it another way.

Mrs. Xu's illness has actually recovered early, and she stayed behind closed doors, not for recuperation, but now it's more like retirement, after recuperating for some time, even at an advanced age, she is in good condition.

And Qin Yin, who had heard about the accident at the border earlier, passed directly.

At that time, Taishi Huang also came to visit the sick, and the sickness of the old Hou Ye was really scary.

Now, although he has recovered a little under the care of the imperial physician, there is still a big gap with the Qin Yin in Huang Taishi's impression.

For a long time, the image of Yongninghou in everyone's minds has been that he is as strong as a bull, with a strong back and a waist, and full of energy.

Compared with the person in front of you...

The feeling of "Lian Po is old" arises spontaneously.

Qi Qiran!
How can you make people feel uneasy?
Grandmaster Huang sighed: "It was your eldest granddaughter who led me here. Listen to her, how many days will you be able to get out of bed?"

"I can get up, but I just stood for a short time. The old man was not afraid when he slashed at the sword, but now he knows what'two wars' is." Qin Yin said with a wry smile, "Don't dare to worry them. In front of them, move a little bit, and lie down when no one is here."

Grand Master Huang also laughed, of course, it was also bitter.

There are some things that I have nowhere to say, probably because I am emotional, so I talk to Qin Yin.

"I really don't dare to worry my family members," Taishi Huang said, "I am such a Sun Toujun, and my family members are persuaded by me. They understand his thoughts, but they also worry about him. When I go back every day, I wish I could ask him once in a quarter of an hour." The military situation. I can only say over and over again that the battle situation is normal, even if the situation there is not optimistic, I dare not say a word.”

Hearing this, Marquis Yongning was taken aback for a moment, and asked eagerly again: "Not optimistic? After counting the time, Feng Zhong has closed the Feimen, why is he not optimistic? The old man lies here every day, relying on his son to tell him The situation outside is not as clear as that in the Ministry of War. I am so anxious!"

Grand Master Huang recounted the battle report that just arrived this morning.

Marquis Yongning frowned when he heard this: "Why is Mao Gu'an in a hurry! Can you be in a hurry when fighting?"

"Yes, there are rules and regulations for fighting wars," Taishi Huang said, "Nowadays, all those who can fight have gone out to fight, and those who stay in the court are all just talking about wars on paper. I want to reason with them, but I didn't bring any It's useless to rely on the mouth alone."

How could Qin Yin not imagine what he looked like in the early court?

At the same time, he also knew what the emperor was thinking at that moment.

From Qin Yin's point of view, the fall of Yushakou and the subsequent failure to recapture the fault cannot be attributed to Lin Fan.

The chaos at the court meeting was nothing more than courtiers trying to find an outlet for their failure.

Those who didn't know much, those who had been annoyed by Lin Fan before jumped out one after another.

The emperor, who didn't say a word, was obviously "enjoying", enjoying their dissatisfaction and blame for Lin Fan.

No calamity.

At the same time, it is also a blessing in disguise, and I know it is not a blessing.

If there is a big victory at Feimenguan, where is Qin Yin's use?

Of course, Qin Yin also knew that Lin Fan and Liu Ben couldn't have caused the incident at Yushakou. This blow to the garrison of Da Zhou was too great.

It's just that the failure in that case has already happened, and in this case, Marquis Yongning must seize the opportunity.

"Old master, what the old man said before is right?" Qin Yin's tone was full of anger, "They have been at ease for too long, so they talk nonsense all day long. If the old man is not at home, the old man scolds them all. look up!"

Grand Master Huang was overjoyed.

His purpose is to let Qin Yin, who can scold him, go to court, and use the experience of a veteran who has experienced many battles, to tell the group of young people what a battlefield is!

Old Hou Ye also has this wish, but...

Old Hou Ye was very ill.

Grand Master Huang's joy faded a bit.

You can't let Qin Yin be carried to the court and then carried back, right?
There is no such reason.

Marquis Yongning pretended not to notice the change of Grand Master Huang's mood, and sighed: "Forget it, scolding won't help, but at Feimenguan, Mao Gu'an is calm and calm, let Feng Zhong take over, and just push forward slowly."

"I'm afraid it won't work," Taishi Huang said with a bitter expression on his face, "I'll tell you the truth, the Ministry of War has received reports from spies in Nanshu, and Nanshu may join forces with Xiliang..."

Marquis Yongning's eyes widened, and he almost jumped up from the couch: "What?"

Huang Taishi hurriedly pushed the man back: "Nanshu's troops will go to Feimenguan. If the two sides exert pressure together, can Feng Zhong resist?"

"Don't press, don't press!" Marquis Yongning blew on his beard, "Get the old man up, and the old man will enter the palace right now!"

Grand Master Huang asked: "You look like this, what are you doing in the palace?"

"If Nanshu sends troops, the troops at Feimenguan will definitely not be enough," Marquis Yongning said quickly, "We must increase our troops."

"Military strength is not just a touch of the upper and lower lips..."

"Use how much you have first," Marquis Yongning interrupted Huang Taishi, "It's okay if you don't give soldiers, the old man goes to Feimen Pass, and he must defend it!"

One person is anxious, and the other inevitably becomes anxious too.

Huang Taishi used a lot of strength to push Yongninghou on the couch, and didn't let him mess around.

The old bone was out of breath: "Listen to what you mean, I'm afraid Feimenguan..."

"Don't say Feimen is closed," Qin Yin said panting, "Once they conquer Feimenguan, how much land will be lost in the west and how many people will die? How long can the capital be alone? Why is the old man not in a hurry? So many people, so There are too many soldiers, the old man is going to save them! Don't worry, just get out of the way, don't stop the old man!"

"Why am I not in a hurry? There is my precious grandson there!" Grand Master Huang was also aroused.

Qin Yin didn't answer this question.

The two old men stared at each other for a long time.

Grand Master Huang stood up and said: "It's important for the old Hou to recover from his illness. I'll go into the palace and ask the emperor what he wants."

After speaking, he strode outside.

This old stubborn, even his strength can't match, how can he fight?

Qin Luan was still waiting outside, sent him out, turned back to his grandfather's study, and said: "Grand Master Huang has already left."

Hearing this, Qin Yin threw off the blanket and got off the couch, stretching his muscles and bones.

"Sing out to him a bitter trick," the old Hou Ye waved his arms, "I'm exhausted to death!"
