Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 484 Yan Huan Victory
Princess Yanghuan came to the palace late at night, and woke up the emperor overnight despite the guards' obstruction.

The emperor looked at Yang Huan sleepily: "What's the matter? But we can't wait until tomorrow?"

"Brother Huang, Daxuan really wants to send troops, do you know?"

Yu Xianhuang was silent for a moment, nodded slightly and said: "This is also within my expectation, I have asked people to inquire in the capital, and the various actions of the new emperor of Xuanguo are indeed quite different from Emperor Zhaoxing.

As for Xu Zhiqiong, he also has an extraordinary relationship with Xuan Guo Xinjun. This person has means and can accomplish things. "

Princess Yanghuan nodded and said: "Brother Huang is right, Xu Zhiqiong can accomplish things, he wants to do big things, and he is going to dispatch a hundred thousand troops to come to our Great Yu!"

"One hundred thousand troops..." Yu Xianhuang's face turned pale instantly, "Impossible, why didn't Ju Liang receive the news?"

Ju Liang!

Even if he receives the news, he will not tell you!
Princess Yanghuan said: "One hundred thousand troops cost a lot of money and food, and now Xuanguo can't allocate enough, and the soldiers and horses have not been moved for the time being.
Brother Huang, it will be too late when Xuanguo's [-] soldiers arrive in Dayu. We don't know what Xuanguo will do, and we don't know if these soldiers will leave after they arrive.
Brother Huang, we gave Daxuan [-] million silver, and we gave it. They sent us a lot of ordnance. This business is not a loss. Daxuan's soldiers and horses must not set foot in our Dayu soil of! "

Yu Xianhuang shook his fist slightly, and invited Xu Zhiqiong to the palace that night.

Xu Zhiqiong just wanted to frighten Princess Yanghuan with the might of an army of [-], but he didn't expect the emperor to receive the news so quickly.

He must have been very happy when he heard that a hundred thousand troops were coming.

The key is how should I prevaricate him.

Let's talk about the inconvenience of mobilizing money and food, and then say that the army's traces are too obvious, and after some discussion, it becomes [-] troops... In short, it is good to ease the matter.

After entering the palace, Xu Zhiqiong was led all the way into the Chongming Hall.

The Chongming Hall is the deepest area where all men except the emperor can enter the palace.

There are no eunuchs in Yu Xianguo. All the areas behind the Chongming Hall are the harem area, and it is also a restricted area for men. From concubines to maidservants, they are all women.

Only when the most confidential and complicated matters are involved, is it possible for the emperor to call the ministers to the Chongming Palace for discussion.

What he wants to discuss with Xu Zhiqiong now is the most secret thing.

"Yun Hou, I heard that your country intends to send troops to help me Da Yu?"

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "This matter has been discussed with Emperor Xuan Changle. When the money, food and armaments are ready, the army will leave immediately."

Yu Xianhuang asked: "I don't know how much your country will send troops?"

If it was Princess Yanghuan who came to inform him, naturally he couldn't tell the emperor about the [-] army, so he had to use some vague language to perfuse him.

"The specific strength of the troops is yet to be discussed with Emperor Changle, and before dispatching troops..."

"Yun Hou, since the two countries are an alliance, we should be more honest with each other."

This old guy is not easy to deal with.

Xu Zhiqiong said: "To be honest, Daxuan will definitely send troops to help!"

First make the promises that can be made, and then talk about how many troops can be sent.

Yu Xianhuang said: "It's out of good intentions for your country to send troops, but isn't the number of [-] too much?"

Xu Zhiqiong was startled, and looked at Emperor Yu Xian's expression.

He wasn't joking, nor was he sarcastic, his expression was very serious.

Only then did Xu Zhiqiong realize one thing. Yu Xianhuang was not worried that Daxuan would not send troops, but that Daxuan had sent too many reinforcements.

He can understand the concern.

In history, in the name of reinforcements, there are countless examples of finally staying on until they turned against customers.

Xu Zhiqiong's original intention was to frighten Princess Yanghuan, but he did not expect that this move would bring hidden worries to Yu Xianhuang.

That's fine, Emperor Chang Le has difficulty in mobilizing troops in a short time, and you think there are too many reinforcements, for Xu Zhiqiong, this is a good opportunity to get out of the current predicament.

"According to His Majesty, how many reinforcements should Daxuan send?"

Yu Xianhuang was silent for a moment and said: "As I wish, the reinforcements don't have to come to my Da Yu, just like Fan Xiao, they can be shocked by the soldiers at the border."

Don't want a single one?

Yu Xianhuang went on to say: "The armaments promised by your country to Dayu have been sent from Yunzhou one after another. With this kind of assistance, Dayu's battle is enough to defeat the Gu clan rebels."

Since you only need ordnance, then I don't need to worry about it.

Xu Zhiqiong clasped his fists and said, "According to His Majesty's wishes, our army will only be intimidating at the border."

After saying these words, Xu Zhiqiong and Yu Xianhuang felt more at ease.

After leaving the palace, Xu Zhiqiong went back to the Marquis's mansion and slept soundly for a night. The next day, he continued to learn Yu Xian's dialect with the maids.

The maids teach lip-to-mouth every day, and Xu Zhiqiong learns lip-to-mouth every day. In private discussions, the maids feel that Xu Zhiqiong is different from the rumors.

The maid Pu Ye asked Eyan: "Yesterday I saw you kissed Lord Hou for a long time, and Lord Hou really kissed you too."

E Yan blushed and said: "That's not a kiss. When Hou Ye said we Yu Xian's words, the mouth shape was always wrong. I was afraid that he would not be able to learn it, so I taught him like this."

The maid Huizhi sneered: "Nonsense, you have kissed before, Yuqiao also went up to kiss, Zhuzi also went up to kiss, Zhuzi has been kissing for the longest time, did you all teach Hou Ye how to mouth?"

Qiaozhu's face was flushed red, and she bowed her head in silence.

The maid Yu Qiao snorted and said, "If you have the ability, you should teach the Marquis, and if you have the ability, you should kiss him!"

Huizhi snorted and said: "We are not so lucky. If we talk about appearance, Pu Ye and I are really as good as you, but who made our lives miserable. We can't read since we were young."

Pu Ye said: "Have you heard that last night, Qing Ge wanted to teach Lord Hou mouth-to-mouth, but was kicked out by Lord Hou!"

Qing Ge is a waiter!
Hui Zhi nodded and said, "It's not just what I heard, but I saw it with my own eyes. There was a big shoe print on Qing Ge's face. I went back to the house and cried for a long time."

"It deserves it!" Yu Qiao snorted, "Back then Qing Geduo was arrogant, which of the male waiters was not arrogant, and which of our sisters was not bullied? We do all the hard work, and they beat people at every turn. Is it just because Lord Hou likes them?"

Pu Ye lowered her voice and said: "To be honest, do you think Lord Hou really likes them? Ever since Lord Hou came to the mansion, it seems that he has never been close to them."

Huizhi nodded and said, "After that man surnamed Tao left, Lord Hou seems to have never been close to a man again."

Pu Ye looked at E Yan, Qiao Zhu and Yu Qiao: "You kiss each other every day, have you brought back Lord Hou's temperament?"

"What do you mean your kiss is back?" E Yan pretended not to understand.

Yu Qiao licked his lips and said, "Maybe it's true..."

E Yan said from the side: "Don't talk nonsense, we are teaching Hou Ye to speak, not kissing."

"Bah!" Pu Ye spat at E Yan, "Tomorrow I will serve Master Hou to take a bath, I will also kiss, kiss everywhere, let's see if those male servants dare to stop me!"

Do you want to tell Princess Yanghuan about this?

Qiao Zhu hesitated in his heart.

It's not a big deal either.

And I don't know if Xu Zhiqiong's temperament has really changed.

While thinking about it, I suddenly heard someone shouting outside the door: "Zhuzi, Master Hou told you to come over."

Pu Ye said angrily, "Since you guys have been favored, you don't need to do any rough work. From tomorrow onwards, I will also learn to read and write!"

……

Yu Xianhuang concentrated all his energy on the battlefield, and Princess Yanghuan concentrated all his energy on Ju Liang, which made Xu Zhiqiong spend half a month of leisure.

Half a month later, Yan Huan sent a good news, he repelled the Gu army.

This victory means a lot.

First of all, Yan Huan did not lose too many troops. He brought [-] soldiers and horses, and fought against the Gu clan twice, only losing less than [-] people. This is due to Yu Xian's fighting power against the Gu clan. Very rare.

Moreover, Yan Huan is still chasing the Gu army, and it is very likely that part of the land will be recovered in this campaign.

Another point is very important.

In this battle, Yu Xianguo did not rely on Fanxiao Kingdom's containment at all, and only relied on Yu Xian's own troops and the ordnance supported by Daxuan to win the war.

The whole court was greatly encouraged, and even Ju Liang was sincerely happy for this victory.

Yu Xianhuang summoned Princess Yanghuan to the Chongming Hall for a drink. After drinking a few cups, Yang Huan sighed, "Yanhuan hasn't led an army for decades. I never thought that his bravery would remain the same as before."

Yu Xianhuang sighed, looked at Yang Huan and said, "Over the years, in fact, you know in your heart that Jiang Gang doesn't know how to fight at all."

Yang Huan lowered his head, speechless.

Yu Xianhuang said again: "Actually, you also know in your heart that Fan Xiao claimed to help out several times, but in fact he didn't send a single soldier. He just practiced soldiers and horses at the border, but he made money by relying on this worthless business. I am rich in countless money and food,
Fanxiao is not as good as Xuanguo, he gave Xuanguo money, and Xuanguo at least sent the armaments, may I ask what did Fanxiao give me for Dayu? "

Yang Huan really wants to say, this is all Ju Liang's conspiracy, this is all evidence of Ju Liang collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country!
But the words were on her lips, she couldn't open her mouth, and what Ju Liang did was inseparable from her.

Yu Xianhuang got up and said: "Da Yu, there is no shortage of good soldiers and good generals, but the good generals are buried tragically, and the good soldiers go to their deaths in vain. You are fighting each other for the crown prince, but how many lives of big Yu Erlang were wasted?"

Yang Huan hurriedly bowed his head and said, "I am guilty."

Yu Xianhuang sighed and said: "Whether it is Xuan Guo or Fan Xiao, they are all foreigners after all, and the one who can really win the country must be me, Da Yu Erlang,

I want to increase my troops by [-], let Yan Huan fight for a big victory, at least let him regain the territory of the three counties, and the Gu people who beat him will never dare to attack easily again!In the future, Da Yu will not have to suffer from wars every year. "

Yang Huan was taken aback.

Excluding the defenses in various places, Yu Xian's adjustable army is only a little over [-].

Previously, Yan had just led troops, and lost more than [-] troops, and Yan Huan also took away [-]. If he increased his troops by [-], it would be equivalent to sending away all the adjustable soldiers.

But Yang Huan didn't expect Yu Xianhuang's ambition.

Yu Xianhuang said slowly: "For more than ten years, if there is no suffering from war, another group of my Da Yu will grow up. By then, my Da Yu will have millions of soldiers. As long as the top and bottom work together, why not regroup? Rivers and mountains?"

This battle hurt the Gu clan so much that he didn't dare to fight back. He won more than ten years so that the army would stop unnecessary consumption, and Yu Xianguo would be able to accumulate enough troops to completely wipe out the Gu clan. This is Yu Xianguo. Emperor's grand plan.

Hearing this, Yang Huan had tears in his excited eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "My sister knows I'm wrong, I only think about Da Yu in my heart from now on."

Yu Xianhuang nodded and said: "You can understand that I have worked so hard to clean up those idle men in the capital, join the army when they should go to the army, and be a human if they should be human. Don't keep any more male servants. Apart from comparing for vanity, it is useless!"

Yang Huan got the order and immediately went to handle the matter of increasing troops.

Walking out of the palace, Qiao Lan came to report: "Ju Liang asked to see the princess, and has been waiting in Yanghuan Palace for a long time."

Yang Huan frowned and said, "Tell him, I'm busy today and I don't have time to see him."

"I'm afraid he will come again tomorrow."

"If he wants to come, let him come. I won't see him anyway!"

……

Xu Zhiqiong received news of success in the Marquis's Mansion, and also received news from Yan Huan.

His pursuit of the enemy has already reached the mountainous area, which is beyond the area currently controlled by Yu Xianhuang.

This is a typical counterattack.

Back when Canglong Palace and Suzaku Palace had never turned against each other, it was said that Yan Huan and Liang Jixiong's temperaments were quite congenial.

The two are about the same age, cultivation level, status and status, and both have led soldiers in battles, so it's no wonder that their temperaments are speculative.

Xu Zhiqiong asked someone to bring a map, looked at Yan Huan's route, and suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

What was wrong, he couldn't tell.

Yang Wu learned the art of war from Liang Zhenjie for a long time, looked at the map in Xu Zhiqiong's hand, and dotted on it:

"This place, this place, and this place... There are at least six places along the way, the Gu clan can turn around and fight back, but they just keep running like this? Didn't dare to fight back?"

Xu Zhiqiong's cheeks trembled: "Could it be a trick to lure soldiers?"

Yang Wu nodded and said: "In my opinion, this is a lure, and Yu Xianguo's army has already been fooled."
