The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 341 The Uneasy Smell

Red lanterns stretched along the promenade, and beautiful maids dragged dishes and drinks through the red area to the noisy front hall.

Away from the hustle and bustle, it is a four-winged room located in the atrium. In the study room, the maid lights the lamps, and the servants quickly clean up the broken tiles on the floor, and then they leave the room one by one.

Bean flames swayed, according to several people in the study who were silently looking at Geng Qing standing there with his hands behind his back, someone smacked his mouth, got up and said: "King Yong, the letter said that our army lost news, but the people of Shu deliberately spread rumors , a trick to disturb the mind?"

The one who spoke was Wang Feiying, the governor of Chang'an, the secretary of Yongwang's Yamen, the former chief arrester and a man from the green forest, who has completely lost the atmosphere of the world.

Sitting next to him was one of his brothers, Tu Shifei, who was still tall and stern, and was in charge of Chang'an prison and laws.The last person is Yang Huaixiong, the envoy of the Shenrui Army.

"If it interferes with my intentions, it's okay, I'm afraid it's all true." Geng Qing tilted his head slightly, his beard trembling slightly as he spoke, stroked the ancient scrolls on the bookshelf with his fingertips, snorted, and turned around Come over and look at the three of them, as well as Dou Wei who just closed the door and came in.

"In the battle of entering Sichuan, there is only a special channel for exchanging news, and the ones sent now will not be false. You can see for yourself."

He moved the letter on the table to the corner of the table, and Tu Shifei got up first, took the letter and unfolded it, read it quickly and handed it to Yang Huaixiong and Wang Feiying.

The above is short and clear.

The battles in December after entering Sichuan were recorded one by one, especially the Shu emperor Wang Jian's personal conquest, and then Li Siyuan and Shi Jingtang's transfer, Xia Luqi's defeat and disappearance. The time and place are all recorded.

As the three people under King Yong's command, how can they not understand the consequences of such a thing happening, especially they know that the eldest son Geng Nian is also a senior in the army. was shaken.

"Nian'er was young and rebellious, and wanted to do something manly, Gu also wanted to let him go." Geng Qing didn't show any expression on his face. He walked to the desk and sat down, calmly pressing his hands on his knees, "It's just the new The army needs to fight, and the generals also need to train their hands to prepare for the future, but such a thing happens, I don’t want to see it.”

"Since it has already happened, I will never complain about others, and spread the fire of incompetence, causing disaster to others."

Geng Qing's voice was flat and cold, and in the eyes of others, he already had the ruthlessness of a royal emperor, and he didn't worry about his son's safety at all.

However, the indifferent voice paused for a moment, and what resounded in the ears of the three of them was a hoarse voice full of anger.

"The earthen jar can't be broken away from the well, and the general will inevitably die on the battlefield. If you lose, it doesn't matter. Next, let the people who are still alive take revenge. Besides, it's not yet sure whether Nian'er and the others are defeated. The letter only says that the three armies went against the current. The army was already in chaos at that time, so it should be able to fight."

Geng Qing raised his hand and waved it.

"There should be news coming later, but Chang'an can't be unresponsive. Envoy Yang Jun, go down to prepare for entering Sichuan, and stir up the commotion. This year, it's not good to live alone, and don't think about it for others. Let Li Cunxun, Wang Jian , Zhu Youzhen was worried."

When Yang Huaixiong arrived, he said, "Yes, obey King Yong's order." Then he got up and opened the door, and then Wang Feiying and Tu Shifei also received the order of King Yong. Regarding the matter of food and fodder, after the New Year's Eve, they will go south to Shu.

The people who took orders left one by one, the study became quiet, and the only maid who was holding the lamp was sent out. Geng Qing leaned against the back of the chair, kneading the bridge of her nose with her fingers.

Even if this body is not his, after so many years, he has already regarded it as his own. Geng Nian is naturally his own son. After raising him for so many years, from a little doll to a handsome young man, how could he be so emotionless and still remain like this Restraint is also the kung fu of nourishing Qi over the years, and Jiuyu is still beside the child, which makes him feel at ease.

With the eunuch's martial arts, even if Li Siyuan and the others die, Nian'er will be fine, at least he can come back alive.

I'm afraid... I'm afraid that Jiuyu won't be able to take care of him in the chaos.

Squeak!

While pinching the bridge of her nose and thinking, the door of the study was pushed open, and Geng Qing didn't need to open his eyes to know who had come in. The familiar fragrance breeze hit his face, and he came to the side with gentle footsteps a little anxiously.

"uncle."

It was Bai Yunxiang's voice, the woman's plump body was slightly lowered, she leaned on the chair to hold the man's hand, "I heard about it, you tell me, Nian'er will be fine."

'Um. '

Geng Qing responded lightly, and after a while, he opened his eyes and looked at the woman, who had an old face, with tears hanging down her face, wet the rouge, and at the door, Qiao Niang was also there, she was the escort people came together.

She dragged her skirt and approached, stood in front of the desk, still able to calmly ask softly: "Husband, what happened to the war in Shu? Tell us, this concubine can bear it."

"Hehe." Geng Qing pursed his lips, then laughed, and held Bai Yunxiang's hand, "It will be fine, judging from the news, it should be Li Siyuan's deliberate deliberation."

As he said that, he took the letter and pointed to the last message to show the two wives: "The fireworks in the middle of the Shu army must have been caused by iron cannons. There is only one place where they can go so far, and that is the top of the mountain. Turn in It is obviously impossible to carry such a heavy iron cannon up the mountain in the retreat, there is only one way."

He looked at Bai Yunxiang, who was pear-blossoming with rain, and touched her face comfortingly, "The way is to hide on it first, and then turn back after going east, so that Wang Jian, who is experienced in battle, won't be suspicious. It's just that this kind of trick to lure the enemy is too risky, and when they come back, they must be punished!"

However, the second daughter still looked at him. They didn't understand these things, and they didn't care about them. They only cared about whether Geng Nian was safe and whether there would be any accidents.

Geng Qing was helplessly stared at by the two of them, and said: "There should be no danger. Jiuyu is also there, and there are also those green forest guards beside my husband. I dare not say it on the battlefield, but it is still possible to protect a person from the battlefield safely." do it."

"Husband, can you send again?"

"Okay!" Geng Qing knocked on the table suddenly, interrupting Bai Yunxiang's words, "I still have something to think about as a husband, let's go down first."

Qiao Niang on the opposite side looked at Geng Qing's face, and hurried over to pull the woman up and leave. It was the first time she saw her husband not let him finish his sentence in so many years.

I knew in my heart that Geng Qing at this time was probably also angry, afraid that Bai Yunxiang would say that he had offended her husband, so after going out, he took the woman to his room to comfort him, and asked someone to prepare some soup and send it to the study. Sometimes, the husband will definitely not be able to eat the food.

'Oh, this year. '

Su Qiaoniang handed over the handkerchief, put her arms around Bai Yunxiang and looked out the window at night and sighed.

On the last day of the second year of Zhenming, the end of the year is full of excitement and turning to a new season.

All feudal towns are also preparing to embark on their grand plans and ambitions in the new year. Li Cunxu sat in the main hall, accepted the pilgrimage of all officials, and formulated a strategy for recuperating and recuperating this year.

Soon, a fast horse from Chang'an in the south brought news that shocked him. Yongdi and Longyou suddenly mobilized troops and horses, and a large amount of food and fodder had already begun to gather.

There was an uneasy smell.

At the same time, Bianzhou.

Looking at the message sent, Zhu Youzhen hastily summoned the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to discuss countermeasures, and sent messengers to Chang'an in a hurry to find out the intention of the King Yong.

Also in the past few days, the old man who was far away in Shu in the south finally returned to Chengdu from Suizhou.

Most of his face was destroyed, and he lay on the dragon bed horribly, groaning, attracting groups of people to talk. Ten days ago, the old man was injured by an explosion. down.

He could feel that his body could no longer hold on, and he was almost exhausted.
