Looking at the Dayan military camp on the slope, Ugueda smiled. At first, he thought that he would never be able to find this kind of flaw to respond to the defense, but a word from his subordinate suddenly woke him up, so he took ten Fifty thousand troops arrived here overnight.
One is to besiege Li Changfeng's army, and the other is to lure Yangcheng out to rescue. As long as Yangcheng comes out, the more than 40,000 ambushed troops will make it impossible for Ma Guanxing and others to come back.
What Wuqida didn't expect was that even if he let those Great Flame scouts enter Yangcheng, Ma Guanxing had no intention of coming out...
Two days later, Qinzheng Hall of the Imperial Palace.
Gu Yongnian knelt in the main hall and reported the news of Fan Sihai's death to the emperor.
In fact, after Gu Yongnian learned the news, he was completely confused. He never expected that Fan Sihai would die in a brothel...
Of course, he would definitely not tell the emperor the truth. He could only say that Fan Sihai died suddenly on the way to Zheyang County. As for the cause of death, it could only be said to be a vendetta...
"Gu Aiqing, what are your plans?" Emperor Zhao Kuangyu asked.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this matter must be clarified, but Zheyang County must send people there." Gu Yongnian thought again and again: "Wei Chen plans to send Sha Jingtong to Zheyang County temporarily. As for his position, Wei Chen intends to let him go to Zheyang County temporarily." Qi Xianshan is in charge."
"Qixianshan?" Zhao Kuangyu was confused: "This person seems to be Lu Aiqing's uncle?"
"Your Majesty, this person is Lu Qingfeng's brother-in-law. Qi Xianshan is currently the fourth-rank right minister in the Ministry of Rites. He is fully qualified to hold this position."
"Okay, if that's the case, then just..."
Before Zhao Kuangyu could finish his words, Qu Zhongyi stood up quickly: "Your Majesty, I have objections!"
"Oh? What objections does Qu Aiqing have?"
Zhao Kuangyu was confused, Gu Yongnian's eyes narrowed slightly, and a murderous intention disappeared in an instant.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, based on my suggestion, there is no need to change like this. Since Mr. Gu wants to replace the military attachés with civilian officials, it would be more stable to replace all civilian officials. After all, the civilian officials can arrive in one day, and the investigation will be much more convenient."
Zhao Kuangyu nodded slightly, and just when he was about to agree, Gu Yongnian said quickly: "Although the prime minister has good intentions, he cannot find out the truth."
"Then why did Mr. Gu use civil servants to fill the vacancies? Is there any problem here?" Qu Zhongyi looked at Gu Yongnian in confusion.
Qu Zhongyi felt that Gu Yongnian was very strange today, but he had no way of verifying why it was so strange...
Gu Yongnian saluted Emperor Zhao Kuangyu: "Your Majesty, I have no choice but to do this. After all, choosing such a person needs to be of the same mind as Your Majesty. If it is left to the decentralized civil servants, they will definitely find a way to fool them, and the Beimang army is now We have arrived at Yangcheng, if we want to slow down their attack, we can only send military generals there."
Emperor Zhao Kuangyu glanced at Qu Zhongyi, but Qu Zhongyi was deep in thought. Logically speaking, Li Changfeng had already blocked the Beimang army outside Yangcheng, how could he still...
Just when he couldn't figure it out, a young eunuch hurried into Qinzheng Hall.
"Why are you so panicked?" Zhao Kuangyu asked with some displeasure.
"Your Majesty, news came from Yangcheng that General Li was besieged at Luolingpo in the east of Yangcheng." The young eunuch knelt down and said quickly.
What?
Emperor Zhao Kuangyu was shocked, and Qu Zhongyi was also shocked. He was thinking about this problem just now, but now it has come true?
Gu Yongnian didn't react at all after hearing this. In fact, he had known it for a long time, but he didn't expect that this opportunity would come at the right time!
"Then why was there no rescue in Maguanxing?" Emperor Zhao Kuangyu asked.
"Reporting to your majesty, there is an ambush of the Beimang army around Yangcheng. If General Ma leaves the city, Yangcheng will be lost..."
Qu Zhongyi's expression turned cold and he asked the young eunuch: "How did you, a young eunuch, know that?"
Hearing the Prime Minister's question, the young eunuch trembled and quickly explained: "This is the content of the order from the north just now. Because the scout could not enter Yangcheng, he had no choice but to quickly transfer it to the palace."
Emperor Zhao Kuangyu didn't care about this, but waved his hand and let the young eunuch go down.
Qu Zhongyi was very confused, why didn't Ma Guanxing convey the news in time? Could it be that some literary scholar intercepted the spirit pigeon?
In fact, what Qu Zhongyi didn't know was that all this was done by Ma Guanxing. The scouts sent to deliver the message also set out from Yangcheng. He wanted to create an illusion for the court. It was not that Ma Guanxing did not want to rescue, but that he was unable to rescue!
Just when Zhao Kuangyu and Qu Zhongyi were thinking about how to solve the matter, Gu Yongnian suddenly knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, Yangcheng is in danger now, and reinforcements may be too late. Please give your Majesty an order. Only temporary generals can resist it." The army lives in Beimang."
"Well, what Gu Aiqing said makes sense." Zhao Kuangyu nodded in agreement and said, "Let's draw up a decree and ask Qi Xianshan to temporarily inspect the right captain, and Sha Jingtong to replace the inspector to investigate the area south of Zheyang County in Nanfeng Prefecture."
"Your Majesty is wise!" Gu Yongnian kowtowed immediately.
Qu Zhongyi had no choice but to second the proposal...
…
Xu Mansion, Zheyang County
When the imperial edict appeared again, Xu Quemeng was confused. If one of them died, why would another one appear? Is it buy one get one free?
Just when Xu Que was about to ask Hu Ling'er to help again, Xu Si hurried into the small courtyard: "Young Master, I have asked you to discuss something."
"I know." Xu Que responded casually, and then looked at the two women in the room.
"Are you planning to ask my mother to take action again?" Hu Ling'er showed contempt.
Xu Que smiled and rubbed his hands: "A kill is a kill anyway, so why not help me again."
"Don't do this, our Fox clan will bear the consequences for killing people. If you don't want me to hate you, you'd better not do this." Hu Ling'er said with a look of resentment.
Xu Que smacked his lips and felt a little embarrassed. In fact, he also knew about this, but he didn't have any good solution now.
"Okay, then I won't bother my mother-in-law. When I come back, I will think about it myself." Xu Que waved goodbye.
After Xu Que left, Huang Qianying asked: "Are you really not going to help him?"
Hu Ling'er rolled her eyes resentfully: "You've already guessed it, but you still want to ask?"
Huang Qianying smiled and took Hu Ling'er's hand, showing a tender smile: "What do you need me to do for you?"
"Let me think about it."
Hu Ling'er closed her eyes and meditated. In fact, she really didn't want her mother to take action. After all, the thousand-year period was approaching. If cause and effect were involved, the power of the thunder disaster would increase by one point...
main hall
When Xu Que stepped in, there were only three people: Xu Maocai, Xu Fan, and Mo Xianzun.
"Uncle Liu, why didn't they come?" Xu Que asked.
"They had something to do and it happened suddenly, so they called you over." Xu Maocai explained.
Xu Chao nodded and sat directly next to his eldest brother.
"Gu Yongnian is very suspicious. After Fan Sihai died, he sent Sha Jingtong here. It seems that they want to insist on taking over Zheyang County." Mo Dongsheng said.
Xu Maocai nodded in agreement without saying anything, but looked at Xu Que.
Xu Que ignored his father's gaze. He had nothing to do, so he needed to think of a complete solution.
"But don't you think it's strange?" Xu Fan suddenly said.
"What's weird?" Xu Maocai asked in confusion.
"Why does the imperial court value Zheyang County so much?" Xu Fan said: "It stands to reason that the imperial court's focus at that time should be Nanfeng City. If Nanfeng City was destroyed, they should shift their focus to Shanyu County on the north bank of the river beach. But we have to put the matter in our Zheyang County, why?"
Mo Dongsheng said: "It is probably to prevent the ferry from being lost? After all, we have two ferries on the river beach in the south of Zheyang County."
"Uncle Mo, my nephew does not agree with your statement." Xu Fan thought for a moment and said: "If we talk about ferries, then why don't they occupy Songshan County downstream, where there are eight waterways and more than twenty ferries. It’s absolutely possible to get more ships.”
this……
Mo Dongsheng was dumbfounded, but Xu Maocai also agreed with this statement.
Xu Que looked at the three people racking their brains to guess, and said decisively: "You don't have to guess, the reason is because of me!"
