Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 906 Things have changed
After the banquet, Yan Mu and Liu Yunxiang returned to the camp. They knew each other's worries without saying anything.

"Lu Changan is a variable."

Yan Mu originally brought him to Lingnan just to prevent him from taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble. It was just that the emperor didn't understand his painstaking efforts, and he actually ordered him to return to Xizhou.

With this will, he can return to Xizhou in an open and honest manner, and Yan Mu can't stop him.And if there is a war in Lingnan, it will be fine without the support of Lu Changan on the southwest side. I am afraid that he will join forces with Xiyue and take the opportunity to invade Shengjing.

"I'm going to see Lu Chang'an and persuade him to join the battle against the Southern Jin Dynasty." Liu Yunxiang said.

Yan Mu shook his head, "If he has made up his mind, if you go, you will only fall into a trap."

Lu Changan was obsessed with Liu Yunxiang, and he knew it.

"Peace talks are in two days. Time is too tight. I have to go. Maybe I can stop him." Liu Yunxiang said with a deep breath.

The current situation is that there are powerful enemies outside and worries inside. Yan Mu can only worry about one thing, so she must solve this worry for him.

"We, as husband and wife, will overcome this difficulty together."

"But Lu Changan, this person has changed. It's really hard to predict."

"Believe me, I can convince him."

Yan Mu hugged Liu Yunxiang and hugged him tightly, "Be careful!"

"Okay, so are you."

Early the next morning, Liu Yunxiang took Zijin, master and servant, and left the military camp on horseback.

Qin Fei had already returned to the military camp where his Central Plains Army was stationed, and the other twelve city governors also returned, although they were waiting for the war to begin.

Yan Mu, Su Hui and Wen Zhuqing discussed all morning how to march and how to cooperate with more than a dozen military forces if a war broke out.When Su Ruqing brought lunch, they suddenly realized that it was already noon.

"Dad, I want to go to the battlefield with you." Su Ruqing said.

Su Hui's eyes widened, "No, swords and swords have no eyes on the battlefield. You are a daughter of a family. If you are interested, you can run errands in the rear."

"Dad, you taught me kung fu since I was a child, and you wanted me to protect myself from being bullied. But in addition to protecting myself, I also want to protect others. I hate the people of Southern Jin, and I want to protect the people of Lingnan, even if I sacrifice myself."

"No, no, no!"

"And grandma and the others, I want to save them too."

Su Hui still disagreed, and Su Ruqing became anxious, "Do you look down on women?"

Yan Mu and Wen Zhuqing looked at each other and hurriedly took the bowls and planned to eat elsewhere, but before leaving, one of them said something.

"Women can also protect the family and the country. Whether on the front line or in the rear, I will never look down on women."

"Miss Su is very skilled in martial arts, so there's nothing wrong with her."

After saying that, the two hurriedly slipped away.

Su Hui sighed, "Qing'er, because of you... you have been hurt a lot. How can you bear to let you go to the battlefield and face danger?"

"Does dad regret abandoning the city?"

Su Hui lowered his head and said, "I regret it. Even if the battle ended with only one soldier killed, I should not have abandoned the city and fled, letting the people suffer. Your Highness gave me this opportunity to make meritorious deeds and atone for my sins. When the war in Lingnan is over, I will return to the capital for trial."

"If dad is guilty, our Su family is guilty. Dad must atone for his sins. Everyone in our Su family must atone for his sins with you. Unless you disown me as your daughter, I must go to the battlefield."

"Qing'er..."

"Father and daughter, we go into battle together and take back Ling'an!"

Su Hui looked at his daughter's resolute look, as if they would definitely win this battle, but he was not as confident as her.

"Okay, father and daughter, we go to the battlefield together!"

After lunch, Yan Mu took Su Hui and Wen Zhuqing to inspect the military camp. When they passed Marquis Jing'an's camp, he remembered that he had not been seen since last night.

"Is Marquis Jing'an in the tent?" Yan Mu asked the guard in front of the tent.

The guard said: "Master Hou left the military camp last night, saying he was going to see the resettlement situation of the refugees."

Yan Mu raised his eyebrows, "You left last night?" "Yes."

Yan Mu lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then asked, "Who else left with him?"

"The Marquis is accompanied by three ministers who are here for peace talks."

Hearing this, Yan Mu frowned, "Oh no, things have changed!"

Su Hui was puzzled, "What does this mean, Your Highness?"

Yan Mu's face darkened, and he hurriedly asked Wen Zhuqing to go to the Beijin Military Camp, "Go and ask them if they will go to Lishan as scheduled tomorrow."

Wen Zhuqing couldn't understand for a moment, "Why do you ask this?"

They will naturally go as promised, after all, they have traveled thousands of miles to come here.

"Go and ask!" Yan Mu said anxiously.

Seeing Yan Mu like this, Wen Zhuqing had no choice but to leave in a hurry.

The Beijin Military Camp was not far from here, and Wen Zhuqing came back in about an hour.He was full of doubts when he left, but when he came back he was really livid. When he came to the tent and dismounted, he was so panicked that he tripped and fell to the ground.

"General Wen!" Su Hui hurriedly stepped forward to help him, "What are you doing?"

Wen Zhuqing didn't bother to explain, and shouted to Yan Mu who came out of the tent: "Your Highness. The Emperor of Beijin and the time he brought with him left for Lishan yesterday afternoon, and the peace talks were advanced one day!"

"What!" Su Hui was shocked, "But, we didn't get the news?"

Yan Mu took a deep breath, "Isn't Marquis Jing'an already gone?"

"But you..."

"He left me on purpose, and he left me one day in advance. I'm afraid he had an agreement with the Emperor of the Southern Jin Dynasty."

Su Hui slapped his thigh, "In order for the peace talks to be successful and the two countries to have a truce, Marquis Jing'an will definitely agree to cede thirteen cities including Ling'an City!"

"And seeing Da Rong's attitude, Northern Jin and Xiyue will also reach peace talks with Southern Jin."

"We will go to Lishan immediately to stop the peace talks!" Su Hui said anxiously.

"It's too late." Yan Mu said.

"How about that?"

Yan Mu lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, made up his mind, looked up at Su Hui and Wen Zhuqing, "There is only one way now."

"What?" Su Hui asked hurriedly.

"Regardless of the content of the peace talks, after dark, we will unite the forces of the twelve cities to retake Ling'an City!"

Su Hui and Wen Zhuqing looked at each other and knelt down on one knee, "General, please listen to your orders and mobilize the troops now!"

"According to the original plan, you will enter the palace from both sides, and I will lead the Zhenbei Army to attack from the front. We must be quick and fierce to capture Ling'an before they can react!"

"Yes!"

The two men went to unite the Twelve Cities. Yan Mu sent his cronies to inform Qin Fei, and then went to meet the Zhenbei Army in person.The Zhenbei Army arrived in Lingnan yesterday. It was originally going to be stationed a hundred miles away from Ling'an, but now it is speeding up its march.

Here Liu Yunxiang came to the military camp where Lu Changan was located. At this time, the soldiers were breaking out of camp and packing their bags.

Unable to wait for the report, Liu Yunxiang hurried to Lu Changan's military tent. When he came to the tent, he met him coming out of it.

Seeing Liu Yunxiang, he breathed a sigh of relief, "I have been worried when I learned that you had entered the city. Now that I see that you are fine, I can finally leave you with peace of mind."

"You can't leave!" Liu Yunxiang said urgently.

Lu Changan shook his head, "The emperor has an edict, and I have to obey it."

"You have always listened to the emperor's decree as you please. Now you are rushing to break camp and return to Xizhou. You just want to take advantage of the chaos to seize Shengjing. But King Suping, if Lingnan is defeated in the battle, the Southern Jin Dynasty will drive northward. Can your power in Xizhou be able to compete with you? Do you want great prosperity to perish in the hands of you, Lu Changan? Do you want tens of thousands of people to become slaves to the subjugation of their country because of you?"
