Mingran waited eagerly for Yunyusu to leave the Ningjiang area, but Yunyusu seemed to be obsessed with him, and refused to leave desperately, and would come here from time to time to have a little fight.Yu Jinfeng followed Mingran's instructions to make false claims with him, which was quite time-consuming and labor-intensive, and he didn't have much energy to continue losing his temper when he came back, but he was much cleaner.

Three or four months later, news came from Taisheng Pass that the thirteen countries in the Western Regions had aggressively invaded Taisheng Pass after several trials. Wang Chongli was invincible and led his people to hide far away.The guards at Jinyang Pass chased after hearing the news, but in the end they were one step too late. Cang Peiguo was massacred with a city and three towns nearby.The captain in the city died for his country, and the prefect barely escaped with his life. He immediately wrote a letter of plea to Jin Duanyang and cried aloud.

Jin Duanyang pondered for a long time while holding the memorial, and also felt that he was a little too used to General Yun, so he gave Yun Yusu an oral order, not forcing him to go back, but only gently reminding him not to forget Jinyang Pass, and reminding him gently In fact, there used to be generals in the Ningjiang area, and there were also many generals who were idle in the court, waiting to be fed.If he is worried about these generals, he can also go to the imperial conquest and personally take the servant back to Pingjing.

The situation in Yunjing is currently very favorable to Cang Peiguo. Although the Mingxiang army blocked his indomitable pace, the navy and several other soldiers and horses flowing down the river in Jingzhou were pressing hard. Linguyu was under the city and surrounded the city. After several sieges, many people died both above and below the city, and half of the river was stained red with blood.Gushu City is the west gate of Yunjing, only a hundred miles away from Yunjing.If the city is breached once, then they can drive straight to Yunjing, and the Mingxiang Army must retreat to defend against the enemy on the river outside Yunjing, otherwise they will fall into the situation of being attacked by the enemy.

In addition, Jin Duanyang sent another army out of Beijing two months ago. This army was well-equipped and quickly arrived in Luzhou. Cooperating with Gushu City and other troops, it formed A semicircle, in the form of encirclement, rushed to Yunjing.

Although Yun Yusu was insolent, he didn't even know that his eyebrows were high and his eyes were low, so he put away his arrogance and carefully wrote a memorial to Jin Duanyang.He said that he must obey His Majesty's will and handle the affairs of Taishengguan properly, but the situation in Yunjing is not a small one, but he should not relax easily, and he must take down Yunjing with all his might.

Mingran finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news from Taishengguan.But when he heard the news of Luzhou's newly added soldiers and horses from the detailed work, he immediately raised his heart again, after thinking about it, he wrote a memorial and sent it back to Yunjing, but there was no reply from the king for a long time.

He was a little impatient after waiting for two days, and just received a letter from Zuo Wenhui, saying that the things Mingran entrusted him to make were ready, and he asked him to send someone back to check and accept.Mingran planned to go back to Yunjing in person, and took the opportunity to inquire about the king's plan in detail.When Yu Jinfeng heard that he was going back to Yunjing again, he straightened his face.Mingran was at a loss, and went back to prepare by herself, but Yu Jinfeng followed from Mingfeng camp again, and then showed him his face.

It's not easy for Mingran to push him away, so he just paced back and forth in the cabin slowly.It was already early autumn, and the night was quite chilly, but his hair was loose, he was only wearing a thin plain gauze nightgown, and he was shaking a round fan with silk and cloud patterns in his hand. The anger was indistinguishable, but it made Yu Jinfeng dizzy, and couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to do?"

Mingran paused when she heard the words, turned around and looked at Yu Jinfeng with a smile and said, "I don't do anything, it's just a little hot. Why are you so vicious, and why did I provoke you?"

Yu Jinfeng said: "Why don't I feel hot? Are you angry again because of the matter of Luzhou and Gushu City? I heard that the aristocratic families in Yunjing are trying to evacuate, and some have already sent women and children to the south to hide If you go, whoever cares whether Zhu Luan Kingdom wins or loses, you are the only one who has a lot of time to worry about. If you are thinking about it, why not persuade your second uncle to take your younger siblings and leave quickly, and what are you doing in Yunjing."

Ming Ran said: "He is an official ordered by the imperial court, so he can't leave. As for the younger siblings, I persuaded my second uncle, and he said... don't worry about him, I'm going to send Ah Yan and Zhuo Hua back if the momentum is not good, but now I'm not in a hurry. "Ming Yun's words at the time were a bit pedantic and old-fashioned, deceiving children, hurting others and not benefiting himself, Ming Ran walked away after hearing this, and then the matter was left alone.

Yu Jinfeng lowered his eyelashes, but suddenly sneered: "I can guess that you should die in the Central Plains if the country is destroyed. What are you going to do with your own life? Martyrdom?"

Ming Ran was stunned and said: "Where do you want to go? Zhu Luan Kingdom is not mine, so how could it be my turn to die for the country?" The Xiang army is bound to fall into a passive position. If I can't escape and am beaten to death, I will have to die if I don't."

Yu Jinfeng looked at him with a sullen face: "What nonsense, can I just watch you die? It's so scary, do you want to transfer all the Mingxiang Army from the East China Sea to support Gushu City?"

Ming Ran's heart moved, he did have such an idea, but at that time he felt that the feasibility was not high, the East China Sea was the territory he had worked so hard to build, and withdrawing troops would be tantamount to giving up automatically, so he gave up after thinking about it.At this time, hearing Yu Jinfeng mention it, he put his fan on his chin and thought.Yu Jinfeng became a little anxious when he saw it, and rushed to the case: "I don't agree! Aren't you afraid that you will bury all Mingxiang Army here, and the East China Sea will disappear again?"

His words made the cabin buzzing, Ming Ran frowned and said, "Why are you losing your temper, I didn't bring many people with me when I returned to Yunjing, and then you reassigned Ming Fengying to come back. Why now I can't transfer people? You want to empty your seat lord?"

But Yu Jinfeng didn't give up, got up and scratched on his desk for a while, found another mutton fat jade soldier talisman without any mistake, and put it in his arms unceremoniously: "You are not allowed to dispatch the remaining soldiers and horses, I will replace this soldier talisman for the time being." You keep it, lest you act recklessly. If you suspect that I have committed a crime, I will be dealt with by military law."

Mingran stared at him blankly, and said after a long while: "It's against you." After a pause, he went to lift the fan to his chin and looked carefully, and said with a smile: "Don't be so angry, take it if you want Well, when you are happy, return it to me. If you are still not at ease, you will go back with me tomorrow?"

Yu Jinfeng twisted his head awkwardly, still with a gloomy face, and said softly: "Of course we have to follow."

Presumably because news of the unfavorable battle ahead came repeatedly, the pedestrians in the streets and alleys of Yunjing were much sparser than last time, and they were all in a hurry.In someone's courtyard, a few yellow leaves of sycamore trees fell outside the courtyard with the autumn wind, making it even more desolate.

Zuo Wenhui accompanied the two to pick up the required ordnance, and ordered the accompanying people to carefully transport it back to the Ningjiang area.Mingran hadn't bothered to hand over the booklet to ask to see the king, but the king had heard the news and sent a servant to summon the two of them.So the three of them rushed to the palace together, on the way Mingran asked about the results of Yanhua Academy and King Yin's matter, Zuo Wenhui said concisely: "That's it."

Mingran also understood, according to the temperament of the king, what should be done or what should be done, so he didn't ask any more questions.

The lord of the country is waiting in the imperial study, and there are also several loyal officials in the court and a group of officials from the Ministry of War.When the king saw Ming Ran, he complained: "Xiao Ran, the current situation is turbulent and people's hearts are unstable. Many ministers sent their family members and children out privately, hum! They thought that Gu didn't know, but in fact Gu knew clearly. This group of people, after being promoted to ranks and receiving salaries and silver rewards, they ran faster than each other. Now that the country is in crisis, they are still running faster than each other, what do you think!"

He looked at Mingran hesitantly, and asked tentatively: "A minister handed him a letter to persuade Gu to go out of Yunjing and go to the south to avoid disaster, and let the crown prince supervise the country, Xiaoran, what do you think?"

Mingran: "The prince supervises the country?" The prince is thirteen or fourteen years old this year. He said he was not too young, but he was really not too big.He thought to himself, Lord, you can cheat us, but why did you cheat your own son?But he didn't make a sound, just walked around the faces of a group of courtiers, and asked: "Who handed over the papers?"

The rest of the people are fine, the Minister of the Ministry of War is the former Minister of the Ministry of War, Wei Shilang. After Lin Shangshu was killed by Mingran in Shen Yingdao, Wei Shilang was ordered in danger and became Wei Shangshu directly. At this time, I thought he was thinking of Lin Shangshu At the end, he couldn't help shivering a bit.Mingran immediately stared at him intently, with a smile on his lips and a gentle voice: "Is it the book you handed me?"

Wei Shangshu was so frightened that all his internal organs burned, he hurriedly said: "No, it's not a humble minister!"

Mingran turned to look at the other people: "Which one of you wrote that?"

A group of people looked embarrassed or arrogant or frightened, but they were all silent.

Ming Ran glanced at Zuo Wenhui, Zuo Wenhui smiled faintly, turned his head to look outside the hall, obviously not wanting to say more.So Mingran said: "Your Majesty intends to accept this remonstrance? This is a good idea. Your Majesty went to the south to avoid disaster. There is an empty city left in Yunjing. If you want to come to Cangpei Kingdom, you will not have much interest. Then the younger brother is just right. Take this opportunity to go to Donghai, there are many things waiting for my younger brother to deal with."

The king's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "They are just talking. Gu didn't intend to leave, and Gu even scolded them, Gu...swear to live and die with Yunjing!"

Mingran smiled, and said softly: "It's the best. I don't know why His Majesty summoned his younger brother?"

The Lord pointed to a huge map on the Dragon case and showed him: "Xiao Ran, you mentioned the war between Gushu City and Luzhou in the zhezi a few days ago, but Gu didn't reply you in time. Gu is really embarrassing. I summoned General Wan to ask, the Sixth Army really can't divide the troops. Do you think your Mingxiang Army can divide troops to support Gushu City and Luzhou?"

Mingran refused very simply: "No. The army in the Ningjiang area is overwhelming, and my Mingxiang army can't handle it. How can I tell anyone else? Besides, the Mingxiang army is a navy, and Gushu City is fine. The state has to figure out something else."

The lord turned around a few times, looked at Mingran's face, and suddenly said: "I still know that there is a soldier and horse near Yunjing, and it is a soldier and horse sent by the governor of Lingnan County. Due to the remoteness of Lingnan, it has long been out of control, so they are just trying to make a superficial effort. It is said that this army set off from Guangdong Province a few months ago, and it is still in the south of Yunjing. Spin around. Xiaoran, your future uncle, he is the captain of Lingnan County. I heard that he is very dependent on the captain. Can you... can you come forward and urge him to let his soldiers and horses come to Luzhou as soon as possible? go?"

Mingran said: "I'm with him..." He choked, and he didn't know where to start. After a while, he said: "It's not appropriate for me to urge you. Xiao Xuanni's grandfather and father are both serving in the court. Your Majesty, why not?" It would be more appropriate to urge his elders directly."

In fact, the lord of the country has already urged, but Xiao Xuanni seems to look down on Zhu Luan country very much. Since he was a child, he has been out of the circle of the Yunjing family's children, and he can't stay at home for a few days all year round. The two elders of the Xiao family can't promise anything. For the matter, I can only promise to let Xiao Xuanni try to hurry up.At this time, the lord of the country stared at Mingran pitifully: "Xiaoran, when will you get married?"

Yu Jinfeng, who was not far behind Mingran, suddenly became a little short of breath. Mingran heard it, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and his tone was sad and solemn: "Now that the country is in crisis, the ancients said that the Huns are still alive. I'm worried about the important things in my life. Let's wait until Cang Peiguo retreats."

The king said anxiously: "But...but when will you wait for the retreat? You are old and young, so there is no delay in these two times, you hurry up and take the time to get married, and you can always urge you after getting married Uncle, right?"

Facing his series of pressing questions and Zuo Wenhui's penetrating eyes, several courtiers stared at each other, not daring to refuse too much, so they could only bite the bullet and say: "It's too hasty, I don't think it's appropriate, I'll wait for Cang Pei Let’s talk about it after the country retreats.”

The country's lord was repeatedly rejected by him, and he was extremely disappointed. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and asked the dragon case: "What do you mean?! You are not willing to divide the troops, and you are not willing to lobby that Lieutenant Xiao. Zhu Luan Kingdom is destroyed, so Gu Jia died in Yunjing?"

Hearing this, Mingran suddenly raised his head and looked directly at him: "Your Majesty, when will the safety of the Zhu Luan Kingdom be tied to the body of the minister alone? As the king of the country, he shoulders the heavy responsibility of the country and the country. I am just the commander of an army. Shi, there are only tens of thousands of people under him, if the country is not in danger, is it all my fault?"
