Chasing King

The new year is approaching, but if you look at the whole Central Plains, even if there is no city, you can still have the mood to welcome the new year. The war between the wolf king and the king of Chu may be imminent. At that time, no one can stay away.

The envoys Chen sent to Taiyuan came back. Fengye still said that he was waiting for Chen in Taiyuan. Where Chen dared to go, he asked Fengye for Qingyang. Instead of Qingyang, he rashly entered the Central Plains. What he was waiting for Chen was to attack back and forth. Fengye had already sent his covered general to guard Qingyang and decided that it was impossible to give him.

Both of them did not change their faces, and they did not change their faces.

But Chen can't help but want to take Qingyang as soon as possible.

Chen Bi calls Yan Sikong and Shen Hexuan to discuss the matter. Yan Sikong is very glad that yuan Shaoxu didn't sell Chen bi the identity of "Que forgetting". If they knew about his relationship with yuan Nanyu, he would have no reason to come here.

From Chen's mouth, Yan Sikong learns that Fengye has secretly increased troops to Qingyang. But even if Qingyang can hold, there are two cities, Pingliang and Fengxiang, which are also on the main road to the Central Plains. Although their position is not as perfect as Qingyang, they can also transport food and supplies.

With 100000 soldiers in his hand, Qingyang is hard to attack, so he can go back to Pingliang or Fengxiang, and Fengye has no skills to defend the three cities unless he knows Chen's movements in advance.

"To invite two gentlemen here today is to discuss the matter." Chen said, "it's impossible for Fengye to give Qingyang to me, and we can't work here all the time. Before the beginning of spring, Qingyang, Pingliang and Fengxiang, if we have one city, the grain and grass from the southeast will be able to continue. Otherwise, we will not be able to attack Taiyuan. "

Yan Sikong and Shen Hexuan look at each other, sit upright, and do not speak.

There was a moment of embarrassment in the room.

Chen's eyes wandered between them, and finally fell on Yan Sikong: "sir..."

"Why don't you listen to Lord Shen first." Yan Sikong takes the lead.

Shen Hexuan closed his eyes and said, "Lord Yan has been around the wolf king for a long time. He knows the situation of the three cities like the palm of his hand. You should listen to Lord Yan first."

Yan Sikong is also impolite: "Qingyang, Pingliang and Fengxiang are the three cities with the strongest guards. The other two cities are all less than 20000 troops. If they want to increase the number of troops, they are also powerless. I think your highness knows all about them."

Chen nodded.

"In fact, there is no intrigue. Qingyang has a que that forgets to sit in the town and has to seal the field to increase its troops. It is not a city that can be won overnight, so only Pingliang or Fengxiang can be raided. The distance between Huaian and the two cities is not far. We only need to choose one." Yan Sikong took a look at Shen Hexuan, then looked at Chen Bi, "I don't think I need to say that."

"What Mr. Yan said is redundant." Shen Hexuan said, "everyone knows which one to choose between Pingliang and Fengxiang, but which one to choose? In fact, it doesn't matter which one to take. What's important is that Qingyang's distance to the two cities is almost the same, and it's much closer than Huaian's. no matter which one to fight, Qingyang will help. " He opened his eyes and looked askance at Yan Sikong. "How to block the covering general is the key to this battle."

Yan Sikong said with a smile, "I really shouldn't show off. Let Lord Shen tell me."

Just as Chen Kai was about to speak, Shen Hexuan asked, "who is that que forget? Why is it covered all the time? How about the disposition of the spleen and the use of troops? "

"The origin of this man is very mysterious. It seems that he was originally a member of the Jianghu. He was followed by Fengye after he escaped from prison. It is said that he was injured and his face was ugly, so he always wore a mask. No one has seen this man's true face except Fengye." Yan Sikong frowned and said, "I have a little personal relationship with him. He is cool and upright. He has a great reputation for his military service

"You've known him for a long time, and you haven't got anything to say?" Shen Hexuan obviously didn't believe it.

"I told him that he seems to have amnesia. He doesn't remember who he is, but he just talks after drinking. He doesn't know whether it's true or not." Yan Si looked at Shen Hexuan coldly, "I only know that this man is not a layman. No matter which city he wants to take, he must be defeated."

Chen touched his chin: "we can only divide our forces, one to attack the city, one to ambush and block the que."

"It's necessary for him to make a noise so that he doesn't know which city we want." Shen Hexuan arched his hand and said, "Your Highness, from Huaian to Pingliang, or to Fengxiang, you have to go east, straight out of the jiuhuai mountains, and then you need to separate the roads. The lower official suggested that your highness personally choose a city, and don't tell anyone until you send troops, so as not to reveal the military aircraft."

Chen Bi nodded: "this is reasonable. If even the soldiers don't know which city to attack, even if they send 10000 spies, they can't spy out the military situation."

Yan Si Kong Wei squints his eyes. On the surface, this plan is to prevent spies, but in fact, it's him. As he expected, Shen Hexuan and Chen Shu were on guard against him, but Shen Hexuan dared to be outspoken, while Chen Shu had to show complete trust in him. Maybe Chen Shu really had some feelings for him, but more of them were hypocritical.

In this way, he can't even inform yuan Nanyu in advance.

Yan Sikong said, "Lord Shen is right. The so-called surprise attack is to surprise.""Sir, what about the armaments, the food and grass, the troops and the generals of these three cities?"

Yan Sikong was not sure how much he knew about the three cities, but Chen was trying to test him, so he told the truth.

Chen Kui thought for a moment: "I have plans in my heart. During this period, we have been preparing for war. Although the weather is cold and the ground is not suitable to attack the city, if it is delayed until the beginning of spring, I am afraid of closing the field..." He pursed his lips. "I'm afraid Fengye will march into the capital. It's too late to stop him at that time."

"I'm afraid Feng Ye really has this plan." Yan Sikong said to himself, "it's a pity that he's hiding everything from me, and I can't tell what he's thinking."

"I plan to send troops in the near future. What do you think of them?"

Yan Sikong and Shen Hexuan look at each other again, but they all nod.

-

when Yan Sikong returns to her room, she meets an acquaintance, Qi manbi.

"Madame." Yan Sikong arched her hand.

Qi manbi bowed: "I have seen Mr. Yan."

"My wife is very polite. I haven't seen her for a year, but she is still in high spirits."

"Yes." Qi manbi stroked her cheek with her delicate hand and sighed, "the three colors made up with powder can only deceive outsiders."

"What's on your mind, madam?"

Qi manbi made a "please" gesture. They separated from the servant and walked side by side. Qi manbi gave a wry smile, "since the Lord married his wife, my life has become more and more difficult."

"The king of Chu was busy with military affairs and managed everything every day. He didn't mean to neglect his wife." Yan Sikong hears that Qi manbi is complaining about the princess, but he can't deal with it.

Qi manbi shook her head, and I felt pity for her sad appearance: "the prince treats me well, but the princess is a precious girl. She doesn't like me as an actor. She often sneers at me. I'm really..."

"My wife came to the palace earlier than the princess. You should have supported each other and managed the family well for the king of Chu. Maybe the princess is young and young. She will understand my wife sooner or later."

Qi manbi squatted down and looked up at Yan Sikong with eyes full of autumn water: "in fact, I know why the princess doesn't like me and dislikes my vulgarity. It's just a matter of making use of the excuse. After all, it's not because..." She stroked her cheek again. "This face."

There is some impatience in Yan Si's heart. Qi manbi tried to win him over several times. Did he think that they were somewhat similar, so he should let Chen enjoy the happiness of Qi people to please him? Now she is oppressed by the princess, unable to bear children, and has no support from her mother's family. She has caught his attention again. She is really a stupid woman who thinks herself smart.

"It's true that the Lord dotes on me, but I know myself well." Ziman birou smile, "there is neither me nor princess in the Lord's heart, only Mr. In other words, I have to thank Mr. Wang. If it wasn't for Mr. Wang, how could he love me so much? "

"Be careful, madam." Yan Sikong was respectful but cold.

Qi manbi's face flashed a little bit of fear, but he still didn't give up: "Sir, have you ever thought that you and I are similar in appearance, and that our companions are around the king of Chu? What a fate it is. When I was a child, I once had a brother. When I was in chaos, I was separated, and I often thought, if If only you were my brother. "

Yan Sikong said: "thank you, madam, how dare you climb."

Qi manbi was a little bit depressed, but she was almost unimpeded in front of men by her coquettishness all her life. She coughed and approached Yan Sikong for a few steps: "Wang Ye is going to be emperor in the future. You and I need to be well served. To tell you the truth, when I see my husband, I'm very kind, as if I saw my relatives. Later, I'll be at home or even outside …… Later, inside and outside the palace, I want to take care of each other with my husband. "

"I'm flattered." Yan Sikong bowed again, "in fact, I have the same feeling for my wife."

Qi manbi covered her lips with a smile and said, "my Lord is young and handsome. I'm very happy. Do you feel the same with me, sir?"

Yan Sikong narrowed his eyes: "my subordinates help the Lord attentively, and the others are..."

"The Lord treats his husband with sincerity. Don't you understand me?" Qi manbi said quietly, "the prince and the princess respect each other like a guest. They really love me. If I can have a son as soon as possible and have my husband's help, I don't have to suffer those grievances."

Yan Sikong said with a faint smile: "what the lady said is that the lady will serve the Lord well."

"Sir, why not..." Qi manbi wants to talk but stops.

Yan Sikong pretended that he couldn't see what Qi manbi wanted to say. He bore the boredom in his heart and arched his hand and said, "my subordinates have something important to discuss with the Lord. I'll leave for now."

"Well, go ahead, sir."

Yan Sikong gives a gift and turns to leave.

Qi manbi looks at Yan Sikong's back and slowly shows an enchanting smile.
