"Pit" you for three lives and three lives

Chapter 22

After the Shangyuan Festival, the emperor finally received the envoy from the north again.

——The purpose of Murong's trip is to invite the south to send troops to the North Qin.

This is really a turn of events.

At that time, the Murong family was ordered by the "King Qin" to go south from Longcheng, and until Beiyan established the country, he had been canonized, and he was still a subject in name.However, since the Murong family became emperor, there has been an additional label of "rebellious officials and thieves" besides "Hu people".They occupy the most important generation of Heluo and Qingqi, so they naturally became the focus of the Northern Expedition.

twice.The army of the Northern Expedition had confronted the Murong family, or rather Murong Juan, twice, but both times they were defeated.In this way, the best opportunity to fight back to the Central Plains was lost.This past event is still a pain in the emperor's heart.

Thinking about the second Northern Expedition, the Murong family was afraid of the mighty Northern Expedition army, and joined hands with Northern Qin to fight against it.It's only been a few years now, and it's time to join forces with the South to fight against Northern Qin again.

It looks capricious, but it is also an act of knowing the current affairs.

——The melee in the north has been fought for many years, and now the situation is finally becoming clearer.Fengshui only circulated between Murong Xianbei and the Fu family from Di.Murong Xianbei occupied Heluo and Qingzhou, and his style of writing was graceful, prosperous and stable.The Di people occupied Qinchuan for [-] miles, and they were able to conquer and fight well, and gradually became better.In the early years, it was the Murong family that suppressed the Fu family, but since the two families changed emperors and ministers one after another, the strength began to reverse.

The current emperor of the Fu family is not without wisdom and martial arts.Needless to say, just looking at how he treats his prime minister, one can know that this person can kill people.

As for Murong's current prime minister—well, with Murong Juan around, the rest of Beiyan would remain anonymous.However, in a troubled world where powerful enemies are on all sides and he is fighting every day, he can force Murong Jun to defect to the enemy - not even to death - which is really amazing.

Murong Juan went to Beiqin, even if Beiyan didn't take the initiative to trouble Beiqin, Beiqin would definitely take advantage of the situation to attack Beiyan.This battle is inevitable after all.

Pulling to the south to fight together, at least it can strengthen your courage, right?

It happened that the Taifu brought Xie Lian, Wei Lang and Wang Yan were also there, and the emperor ordered the prince to attend the discussion, and Sima Yu took the three of them behind him.

After several important officials had finished discussing, the emperor asked the prince what he thought.

When the emperor asked, Wang Yan thought, if he were himself, how would he answer.After thinking about it for a while, I felt that it was a matter of course to fight—even if the Murong family didn't fight, the Northern Expedition would have to happen sooner or later. There was such a good opportunity, how could I let it go.

Immediately, he heard the prince's solemn tone, "If you can fight, you must fight... Otherwise, when Bei Qin annexes Heluo and Qingzhou, it will be even more difficult to expel them."

But it seems that there are many concerns.Wang Yan knew that there were still things he hadn't thought of, so he listened attentively.

Like Xie Lian, the crown prince is not optimistic about Beiyan.Although I heard some courtiers say that they can drive away wolves and fight tigers, and let Beiyan and Beiqin consume each other, they don't take it seriously—there has never been a victory in this world, people and land, and it has never become stronger but weakened .Bei Qin can only snowball, the more he fights, the stronger he becomes.The history books they have read all confirm this truth.

This is something Wang Yan did not expect.

Then it came to the second thing-but they couldn't fight.Because you can't get any soldiers.

The crown prince knew about this, Xie Lian knew about it, but Wang Yan had never heard of it——Huan Buqing's second Northern Expedition severely damaged Jiangnan's vitality.The battle-tested Jingzhou soldiers and the brave Beifu soldiers who had been operating in Jiangnan for decades were completely consumed by him at once.There is no longer any force that can stand alone.Even if they wiped out their entire family this time and merged with the Murong family to defeat Bei Qin, they would definitely be unable to defend Qinchuan, which is eight hundred miles away.In the end, it's just a marriage.

Having gone through two failed Northern Expeditions, Jiangnan's ambitions are still alive, but his strength is beyond his reach.Even if there is such a good opportunity in front of him, he can't reach out and grab it.

He could only watch Bei Qin snowball.On the other hand, I slowly managed and accumulated a little bit, and I have already dealt with the most difficult situation.

The so-called most difficult situation is the third thing that Wang Yan did not expect.

"In the middle of this year, at the latest at the beginning of next year, there must be a battle in the north." Beiyan drives fish away from the Yuan and destroys the Great Wall himself. Beiqin will definitely not let go of this opportunity.

"The overall situation in the north is about to be decided." Nine times out of ten, it was Bei Qin who swallowed Bei Yan.

"At that time, Northern Qin will definitely deal with Jiangnan with all its strength...Maybe three to five years, maybe seven or eight years later, Jiangnan will no longer be able to settle down. Either fight back, or be beaten. Instead of wasting troops and Northern Yan's conquest Qin, you should think about how to deal with this situation."

The eyes of Xie Lian and Sima Yu darkened for a moment, and a flame started to dance secretly.His hands trembled slightly.

Looking at the expressions of the two of them, Wang Yan pursed his lips unconsciously.

The teenagers have also reached the age when they should devote themselves to learning, and they can no longer run around.

The war between Sima Yu and Xie Lian quietly started again at some point.

These two men compete with each other, with no other eyes and no distractions.Like a galloping horse, it goes a thousand miles a day without getting tired.By the time everyone realized it, they had already been left far behind.

They are all the same children, it doesn't matter if they are worse than them occasionally, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses.It would hurt your self-esteem to always be far behind them!Others are especially good, after all, they are far away.Wang Yan was watching with his own eyes.In order not to be too far behind them, he had no choice but to follow suit.

So Ali often sees such a situation.

It's midnight, and Ah Yan is still studying...

It's midnight, and Ah Yan is still practicing calligraphy...

It's midnight, and Ah Yan is still...

Ari finally couldn't take it anymore, "Ayan, go to sleep!"

——Wang Yan has always been assiduous, but he has not worked so hard to the point where the head is hanging from the beam.He is only in his early ten years old, this is no longer motivated, it is self-mutilation.

Wang Yan: "Zzzz..."

Ali: =__=...

Put on a piece of clothes for him, and call the boy to ask, but the boy doesn't quite understand what's going on.

It was only later when Ari's father talked to Ali's mother about the discussion that day, Ari finally understood when he saw Wang Yan's expression.

At first she thought that Wei Lang was the most out-of-the-ordinary and loved to cause trouble, but it was Sima Yu and Xie Lian who made people jump more.

It's just that the teenager's comparability can't be overcome.Ah Li knew that she could not persuade Wang Yan easily.Anyway, there is a key point, and their father will naturally point it out, which is much more reliable than her half-baked sister.

It's just that she suddenly remembered those years in her previous life, Xie Lian and Wei Lang conquered in the north, Sima Yu and Wang Yan supported in the south.What was she doing at that time?
It turned out that these things had been quietly developing long ago.Sima Yu has already participated in it - Xie Lian probably hasn't been left out either.They have gathered their strength and want to have a role in the near future.

Only she is still ignorant, longing for a unique love.

Their concerns are not in one dimension at all.

So no matter how hard she tried, Sima Yu couldn't fall in love with her?
She also lost consciousness.

Murong Jue stayed in Jiangnan until mid-February.

Nanfang's words were vague, and it looked like he was going to send troops, but there was no real movement for a long time.Murong Jue is not a fool, he soon realized that he might not be able to achieve the purpose of this trip.

In state affairs, there has never been a heart-to-heart sincerity.

Beiyan wanted to take advantage of Jiangnan's enthusiasm, thinking that if he gave some fame and fortune - such as calling himself a "vassal" or something again - he could easily encourage Nanfang to form an alliance with him and jointly crusade against Beiqin.Of course, since the south is going to "Northern Expedition" and "Recovery", it is natural to send out heavy troops to take the lead.The best situation is that they fight and reap the benefits themselves.At the worst, it can also relieve Bei Qin's threat to him.

Of course, the south also has its own plans.Although he made up his mind not to send troops, he didn't mind making Beiyan think that he would send troops. It's better to give them the title of "Pioneer of Rebellion" and let them fight Beiqin desperately.

Murong Jue deeply understands the true meaning of it.After seeing Nanfang's plan, he didn't stay any longer.He only made a generous statement, mocking Nan Bian for his short-sightedness and cowardice.Then he waved his sleeves and walked away.

The emperor didn't move his expression when facing the gorgeous performance - he was too old to be provoked by such words.He just handed it to the son who was serving beside him, and said, "Look at it."

Sima Yu said, "It's really ugly to yell and curse when you can't take advantage of it."

The emperor laughed.Immediately, he sighed with a heavy heart, "I don't know if I can see Luoshui and Mangshan again in my lifetime."

——Murong let's not talk about him.Cui Chen and Lu Xuan are also different from their ancestors.They have never been in exile, they have no loyalty to the Sima family, and they have no heart-to-heart hatred for the Hu people.They only stand on ambiguous positions, weighing clear interests.

In the future for the Northern Expedition, I am afraid that we will not be able to see the situation where the North and the South were of one heart and the same hatred and hatred.

Sima Yu and Wei Lang seemed to have grown up overnight.

This time the youngsters from Cui Lu's family really gave them a lot of stimulation.At the same age, they are still thinking about digging out bird nests and stepping on cat tails, and they have already raised their knives and mounted their horses to kill people.

When they sat together, no matter how brave their faces and words were, they could not conceal the frustration in their hearts—in the face of Cui Chen and Lu Xuan's tempered sword-like killing and decisive temperament, they just Like a urchin blowing a snot bubble.

Comparison has always been the most direct driving force for hard work.

The emperor and his courtiers soon discovered that the prince's temper had calmed down, and he no longer played tricks that made people laugh or cry.He can listen patiently when discussing politics, and is willing to do some entertainment that he usually scoffs at when he is idle.

Wang Tan's feeling is the most intuitive - Sima Yu finally stopped climbing the wall of his house twice in three days!

The prince's sensibility made the queen feel very relieved.

Parents are always impatient. When their son can crawl, they urge him to run. When they can write, they think he can win the first prize. When they are sensible, they plan to marry him a wife. Before the daughter-in-law is settled, they start thinking about their grandson. .

In particular, the queen was no longer young when she gave birth to the prince. Who among the noble ladies of her age has not yet embraced a grandson?

So I took the time to ask the emperor, "Should I make a marriage arrangement for Ah Yao?"

The emperor said: "Don't worry, it's time for you to make progress. If you know people and things too early, it will easily wear down your ambition."

The queen laughed and said, "Didn't you and I get married at the same age? But it didn't wear down His Majesty's ambition—presumably the concubine was not gentle enough to make His Majesty indulge."

The emperor grabbed her hand, looked at her softly, and said: "... Ah Yao and I were different back then."

If Sima Yu was half as dangerous as the emperor back then, he wouldn't have the disposition of jumping off nonsense today.The queen naturally understood, so she didn't say anything more, she just said: "It's the concubine who is impatient."

The queen is not in a hurry, so naturally there is a way to make Ah Liniang anxious.

Every time a married woman makes a pilgrimage, the queen often talks to Ah Li Niang.If there is any reward, occasionally I will add, subtract or replace it specially for Ahri.He seemed to be doing it casually, without making any promises, but reminding Ari Niang from time to time——I haven't forgotten your daughter.

Ah Li Niang: Can I pretend to be stupid!
It's a pity that Ah Li Niang is pretending to be stupid, and someone is willing to accompany her to pretend to be stupid.

Ladies who are not wise?Naturally, he could understand what the queen meant.There are many daughters in the Wang family, and Ari is not the best, so why bother to fight with the prince?

So, Ari Niang watched her sister-in-law's house being broken down by the said relatives, and Ali's cousins ​​each held a handful of young men to pick and choose.Girls of the same age as Ari from the other family have also finalized their marriages one by one, but Ari is the only one who is not interested.

Those who don't know think Ahri should not be able to marry!

However, if it really delayed Ahri's marriage, it wouldn't be that bad.Wang Tan made it clear that it was the future of the black-headed man, and his daughter's market was naturally bullish all the way.Even if she doesn't become a princess in the future, she will definitely not worry about getting married.

Ari Niang is just sorry——Xie Sanlang is also a sought-after child, and she is afraid that when Ari can choose another marriage, this east bed will also belong to another family.

In June, fighting broke out in the north.Bei Qin dispatched 30 elite soldiers to attack Bei Yan, and Bei Yan gathered [-] troops to wait for work, and will compete with Bei Qin.

The bustling marriage season among the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River also fell silent.All the people are watching the situation in the north, and they are also watching how the DPRK will deal with it.

In August, General Huan Jing died of illness.Grand Tutor Xie Huan was in charge of Shangshu, and General Wang Kui of Zuowei moved to Zhongshuling, and the two were in charge of the government together.Wang Tan also entered the court from the Huanjing shogunate, served as the general of the left guard, and also served as the Dazhongzheng of Honshu.

Xie Bing, the eldest son of the Xie family, was also recommended by the Taifu to go to Waizhen as the prefect of Yanzhou.Xie Sanlang, the most sought-after in Jianye City, was far away from the gentle and rich land of the capital, and followed his elder brother to Jiangbei, where the customs and bravery were high.
