He was so contradictory, the king was so angry that his eyebrows and eyes became trembling all over, pointing at him for a long time and unable to say a word, Zuo Wenhui hurriedly smoothed things over: "Xiao Ran, how can you talk like that? Quickly apologize to Your Majesty."

Mingran said: "What did I say wrong? Why do I have to make amends?" She didn't give an inch.

He did not say anything wrong, but the words were too harsh and too sharp, the corners of Zuo Wenhui's lips twitched twice, and he simply stopped talking, and the rest of the courtiers were even more silent.

The king looked around, but there was no one to help him. If he hadn't been in front of his courtiers, he would have almost burst into tears. After a long while, he tremblingly said, "Xiao Ran, how dare you treat Gu like this? Gu used to love you very much. I'm just used to you, no matter how big a mistake you make, you can only give a few casual warnings, but today you talk to Gu like this! Do...you...do you still have a conscience?"

He looked at Mingran and saw that his expression was indifferent and unmoved, so he simply let the tears that were already rolling in his eyes flow out, and changed to the path of sadness: "Although Gu is the lord of the country, life is far less than what you think That's good. All kinds of foreign enemies are staring at the army, the courtiers are playing tricks on the cronies, and the group of censors are still impeaching the lonely believer in the Buddha and the Tao! If it's not like this, how can I dispel the overwhelming melancholy? Of course you are not wrong, it’s all Gu’s fault when you say it, but you should be lonely and despise this glory and wealth? But it’s just a fleeting moment! Gu... It’s better to issue an edict of guilt and apologize with death, then you can be satisfied, right? Forget it, I won’t send out the edict for my own crimes, so I’ll just kill myself!” After saying this, he ran towards the gilded pillar of the coiled dragon not far away.

The courtiers naturally wanted to stop him, and Zuo Wenhui was the fastest among the group, rushing directly to put himself in front of the pillar, and two more agile courtiers jumped up and hugged his thighs.So the lord bumped his head against Pingnanhou's shoulder, and it hurt a little bit, Zuo Wenhui could only bear it, listening to the lord crying loudly in his ear, crying for the late emperor, crying for his dead third uncle and third aunt , Said that they would go to the underworld to accompany Caiyi Yu to fight Shuanglu in person, it was really shocking.

When Mingran heard that he cried to his parents, he was very angry and disgusted, his parents didn't cry himself, when will it be the king's turn to cry?How hypocritical!He hooked his fingers at Yu Jinfeng, turned his head and walked away, walking decisively and neatly.

The lord of the country was stunned for a moment, and he didn't care to cry any more, he hurriedly asked: "What is he doing? Wen Hui, tell him to come back!"

Zuo Wenhui said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Xiaoran is actually soft-hearted. Maybe he really went to find his uncle. Your Majesty, don't force him to be too ruthless. I should go and talk to him."

He left the lord behind and chased him out. Mingran wanted to save face for him, so he slowed down at the palace gate and was caught by him. He turned to look at Zuo Wenhui and said, "Big cousin, I know you don't want this mess." Never mind, in fact, I also... But let's try harder. Tell the king for me, not only can I not divide the troops, but I also want to borrow another [-] troops from the Sixth Army who are good at attacking cities. It is best It is the original team that cooperated with Wen Jiaxiu to capture Fucheng and Shoucheng last time. If he refuses, let him go, whatever you like."

Zuo Wenhui stared at him for a while, then said in a deep voice, "Leave it to me."

Mingran and Yu Jinfeng left the palace, and the accompanying guards immediately led their horses over, and he waved his hand to make the guards stay away.He just walked forward with his head bowed, and when he reached a cross street, he stopped.

Go straight ahead, you can go directly out of Yunjing North City Gate and return to Ningjiang area.Turn right, within a few hundred steps, is Xiao Xiangguo's mansion.Mingran looked left and right, a rare dazed and hesitant look appeared on his face, then his eyes narrowed and he lowered his head again, silent.

Yu Jinfeng had been following him quietly all this time, and at this moment he suddenly spoke, his tone was cold and cold, showing a bit of self-pity and helplessness: "Since you can't let go of your cousin and Yunjing's mess, why don't you let me go?" Go and marry a girl from the Xiao family."

Mingran glared at him: "I will solve it myself, don't worry about it."

Yu Jinfeng said: "I don't dare to care about you, I just care about myself not being pissed off."

He was already filled with anger in the imperial study room, but it was a pity that his position was low and there was no room for comment. At this time, he said that he didn't care, but he couldn't help but continued: "You just control me lightly! If he wants to go out of the city to avoid disaster, let him go!" Let him avoid it, so as not to embarrass others, but what are you doing to stop him? You threaten him now to not let him go, and when the day comes when the country is ruined and the family dies, it will inevitably depend on you, saying that you caused it, you Even jumping into the river can't wash away your sins."

These words were very reasonable, and Ming Ran was speechless. After a while, he suddenly said: "The emperor of Cang Pei Kingdom may be in Luzhou."

Yu Jinfeng's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't care to fight with him any more, he hurriedly asked, "How do you know? You sent a secret agent to Luzhou?"

Mingran said: "I guessed it. Just now I carefully looked at the map in the imperial study, and all the enemy soldiers were menacing, pointing at Yunjing, only the soldiers and horses in Luzhou moved strangely, and there was a gap between them and Yunjing. It is clear that the avenue is a thoroughfare, but after entering the city, they stand still and prepare for attack. The rest of the soldiers and horses have a faint tendency to protect them with this respect. I heard that His Majesty the Emperor of Cangpei Kingdom likes to conquer in person, so I guess he has arrived in Luzhou. I Then send someone to confirm, he can be the best, and the opportunity to be delivered to the door must not be missed."

He paused, and said in a low voice: "Actually, I only need an opportunity to have the confidence to talk to Cang Peiguo. But after planning for a long time, this opportunity came so difficult and slow, I think it's God's will."

Yu Jinfeng sneered and said, "The soldiers and horses of the Cangpei Kingdom are several times larger than yours, and there are also a lot of military equipment, just a few warships are missing. Even if you can create an opportunity to win by surprise, it's just a clever trick. You can manage it for a while, but you can't control it." I. At the end of the war, what are you fighting for? Armaments, money and money? These are the principles you taught me before, why can’t you see through them when things are coming to an end!”

Ming Ran glared: "Can you shut up?"

Yu Jinfeng said: "I can. It's just that the seat lord is going to go, you have to give instructions to the disciples, so that you can ring the gong to clear the way."

Mingran rolled her eyes and saw a resplendent restaurant not far away, so she pointed at the restaurant and said with a smile: "I'm not going anywhere, let's go, let's drink away our worries."

With such a sudden turn of events, Yu Jinfeng was dragged into the restaurant in a ignorant way while being angry.Mingran summoned the birds and beasts to the whole table, and heard that there was even imperial wine from the palace, so he asked for several jars of imperial wine and asked Yu Jinfeng to pour the wine for him.In the end, he returned drunk without any surprise.

When the lights in the capital first came on, it was the time when people who were looking for pleasure and drunkenness went out day and night, and the streets were bustling with people coming and going.Yu Jinfeng half-dragged Mingran out of the restaurant, put Mingran's head on his shoulder, snorted hotly on the base of his ears, and sighed softly: "Don't be angry with me, I'm in a dilemma when I come here. Really just need an opportunity, and then let go of it, let them die."

Yu Jinfeng felt sad when he heard it, and said in a gentle voice: "I'm not angry with you, I'm not willing to do so. I just feel worthless for you."

It must be that his sincerity moved the heavens, and this opportunity suddenly fell from the sky.

First, Zuo Wenhui stepped forward for him and persuaded General Wan Shunjue of the Sixth Army Jinwuwei to give him [-] troops. They were indeed the same troops from the last attack on the city.Then someone with a heart spread the news of the quarrel in the imperial study and the news of Mingran's drunkenness on the street to Xiao Xiangguo's mansion. That idiot Xiao Xuanni actually took the initiative to attack after hearing the news, and led thousands of soldiers from Lingnan County to bypass Yunjing with lightning speed. Crossing the Yangtze River (the boat crossing the river provided by Mingxiang Army free of charge), is like a tiger rushing to Luzhou.

It is said that the soldiers of Lingnan County were all dark and ugly, but compared with the people of Zhu Luan, they had a natural wildness of raw hair and blood, and they were extremely fierce when they fought.

Mingran heard this letter, but huddled on a soft couch and remained silent for a whole day, her expression was rather indescribable.Because when Xiao Xuanni was crossing the river, someone sent him a secret letter. The eldest son said in the letter that he did not force the marriage, and he did not send troops to force Mingran to promise anything. Mingran should not feel guilty about the responsibilities that should be fulfilled after Jun Zhilu.

That letter was burned by Mingran, and amidst the ashes of the paper, he felt that he was too shameless and disgusting, and even used the trick of pretending to be drunk and sympathetic, and the other party was someone he had married. , it was unbelievable in the past.

Such ups and downs of thoughts, until Yu Jinfeng rushed into the cabin: "Let's go, General Yun is gone!"

Mingran didn't care to think about it any longer, and hurriedly said, "Are you sure he's gone?"

Yu Jinfeng said: "Let's go, I said that I want to go back and completely drive the thirteen countries of the Western Regions out of the territory of Cangpei Kingdom, but I'm afraid I haven't gone far."

Mingran saw that Yu Jinfeng was sweating finely on his forehead, and it seemed that marking people was hard work, so he dragged him to sit beside him: "You rest, I'll go out and have a look." Straight up from the couch, Yu Jinfeng scooped it up I didn't catch it, and watched him blow out in a gust of wind.

Mingran greeted Xie Jue and Liu Xuan to follow, and did not turn back until dawn. After he confirmed that Yun Yusu had left Fucheng Shoucheng and took some soldiers and horses with him, he ordered them to send Pingnanhou The ordnance is packed up, the warships are all ready, and the soldiers are ready to go.

The night was dark and windy, and it was the day of murder and arson. The Ming Xiang Army, which had been dormant for several months, suddenly moved out under the cover of the night, fighting with the soldiers and horses of the Cang Pei Kingdom stationed in the Ningjiang area.After that, another [-] soldiers and horses were divided into two groups. Taking advantage of the excitement of murder and arson over there, they passed through the waters of the Ningjiang River, and quietly went around to the north of Fucheng and Shoucheng. The crossbow bed pushed the goose hole cart, carried the ladder and began to attack the city, and accompanied by a group of mouse-like figures who were extremely skilled in digging holes under the city wall.

The guard of Fucheng Shoucheng is the deputy general left behind by Yunyusu. He is a person who has seen great battles in the world. Offensive, on the one hand divide the troops out to meet the siege soldiers and horses on the north side.

But Cang Pei Guo generals did not expect that Ming Feng Ying, the most elite soldier of the Ming Xiang Army, had no ambitions here. They actually drove dozens of huge fire dragon boats in the melee, and snatched the new ships stored by the Cang Pei Guo Navy in one fell swoop. on the waters.The soldiers of Cangpei Kingdom had been trained by General Yun for several days, so they were naturally not afraid. They relied on the small and nimble boat to shuttle back and forth to meet the challenge.However, many powerful soldiers appeared on the big ship. Under the cover of arrows raining like locusts, they threw long ropes one after another. There were several strands of wire and beef tendons in the ropes. The live clip made of fine steel is very ingenious in structure, and it is tightly buckled when it is put on the ship's side.As long as a fire dragon boat gets over a dozen small boats, it will immediately set off for the return voyage.

The strength of the small boat was no match for the big boat of the Mingxiang Army, and they couldn't help but follow the big boat. Seeing that the momentum was wrong, the clever soldiers jumped into the water to escape. Those who didn't reflect on themselves were dragged away, and eventually they were decapitated. place.

It was only at this point that the generals of the Cangpei Kingdom realized that the sneak attack was fake and the ship robbing was real.It is reasonable to ignore him, just grab it and forget it.But these hundreds of newly-made boats are General Yun's darling, and they will be used to build a pontoon bridge to cross the river.If he just lost it like this, General Yun will definitely not be able to spare himself and his people when he comes back.The two captains guarding the city panicked together, dispatched a large number of people to chase them, and rushed to the large water area on the south side of the Ningjiang area, where they started a fight.

When Ming Fengying came back from the East China Sea, they brought several serial boats and son-mother boats with them to facilitate the fire attack.These two types of warships were used to attack the Twin Islands, but no one in the Central Plains had seen them, even A Shu had been lurking in the Ming Xiang Army for several years, and had never seen them.Although the two types of ships are not many in number, they aim at the opponent's main battleship and set fire to it, which can disrupt the enemy's deployment and shake the hearts of the soldiers.Therefore, the two sides fought from midnight to noon the next day, and Cang Peiguo failed to take back the boat, but lost several boats.

It turned out that Ming Xiang's army had been beaten and not fought back a while ago, it was an illusion. After all, they had a great record in sweeping the East China Sea, but they underestimated the enemy too much.When the generals of Cangpei Kingdom realized it, it was too late to regret it. Fucheng and Shoucheng were also taken advantage of by the siege soldiers and fell into the hands of Mingxiang Army again.

Cang Peiguo saw that the situation was over, in order to save the remaining warships, he simply found a few small waterways to withdraw his troops quickly, and hid far away.

But Mingran didn't give up, and ordered the 2 people who took down Fucheng Shoucheng to leave the city quickly and rush to Luzhou day and night.Fucheng Shoucheng is in the east of Luzhou, so it is not far away, so it took less than two or three days for such a surprise attack to reach the city, together with Xiao Xuanni's Lingnan Army, besieged Luzhou.

Afterwards, Mingran didn't want to talk to the lord, so he simply sent a report to Wan Shunjue's mansion directly, stating his interests and asking for reinforcements from Luzhou's soldiers, and hinted in the letter that he should be more courageous in using troops, move faster, and move more flexibly back and forth. Sit back and watch.

Wan Shunjue heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning. He mobilized all the troops that could be mobilized without telling the king, and tens of thousands of troops were sent to Luzhou. Mingran simply led people to follow and stepped up the attack on the city.Although the three groups of people are mixed together, it may be the reason for the prosperity of the country due to the difficulties. On the contrary, it arouses the feeling of common hatred and hatred. Take Luzhou before reinforcements arrive.

Cangpei's military deployment and offensive focus were along the river, not in Luzhou, which was in the rear. Therefore, when Luzhou was suddenly besieged, the soldiers and horses did not react, and there was no reinforcement for a while.

Jin Duanyang was indeed in Luzhou. He saw that within a few days, the situation was changing, and he was besieged in the city in a blink of an eye. He couldn't help being a little surprised. He obviously came to Luzhou quietly, but who leaked whereabouts.

The next few days were difficult, almost like years.The blood of the soldiers defending the city flowed into rivers and their bodies piled up like mountains. The Haohe River had already been filled up. The ladder was built on the top of the city. Waves of enemy troops came and went like ants, killing red-eyed beasts. , surging and surging.In desperation, Jin Duanyang even sent his trusted guards to the city wall.Looking at the screaming soldiers and people in the city, and the precarious Sifang City Gate, he was about to take a look at the city wall. The Luzhou prefect followed him and urged him, saying that it was extremely dangerous outside, and it seemed that reinforcements would not be able to arrive for a while. The city gate could not be defended any longer, so it was better to find a way to kill a bloody road from the north of the city in the middle of the night.

Jin Duanyang said: "Okay, listen to you."

In the middle of the night, the crowd surrounded the disguised emperor before they entered the north city gate, but the gate was smashed to the ground by a huge tree in an instant, five horses and two corpses, obviously dyed in a set of light armor, holding the moon Shen Gong, with a smile on his lips and cold eyes, blocked Jin Duanyang's way.

The two used to only look at each other across the river in the Ningjiang area, but they both knew each other strangely.Jin Duanyang looked Mingran up and down, with undisguised shock and appreciation in his eyes: "What does Ming Xiaohou intend to do, you might as well say it clearly."

Mingran said concisely: "Withdraw from the army, you are not allowed to come here for ten years, after ten years you can do whatever you want."

Jin Duanyang smiled and said: "The lion opened his mouth, why did I agree to you? How about this, I have heard that the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty in the Southern Kingdom is good at the skill of harp. If you play a song for me, I will obey you and retreat."

Mingran: "Hehe, good." There was a soft clang, like the sound of Hong Zhong Da Lu Tianwai, but he pulled the bowstring, and showed him the cross-eye piercing, so that the Luzhou prefect lay dead in front of His Majesty the emperor.

Jin Duanyang stared at the Luzhou prefect's eyes rolling around in the dust for a moment, and suddenly remembered an old incident two years ago.At that time, Wen Jiaxiu reported that Zhu Luan Kingdom was mainly going to attack Shouchun in Huainan in order to divert the troops attacking Yunjing. After hearing this letter, he hated Wen Jiaxiu so much that he gnashed his teeth and made a countermeasure to kill that fellow.This time the other party's actions are similar to the unfinished strategy last time, the only difference is that I, this delicious bait, took the initiative to deliver to the door, so that the other party has a few more bargaining chips.

In fact, thinking carefully is not a bargaining chip. After all, I still have several brothers and a large group of nephews.In a great empire, there is nothing lacking for an emperor. After death, someone will succeed, and there will be bloody battles.

Jin Duanyang touched the flesh on his arm, cherishing it very much, others don't feel sorry for him, but he can't help but feel sorry for himself!

Mingran was a little impatient with his thoughts and thoughts, and urged: "Can you please have fun."

Hearing this, Jin Duanyang raised his head, walked back and forth over the faces of Mingran and Yu Jinfeng beside him more than a dozen times, gritted his teeth and hissed with a smile: "Beauty has orders, you should obey them, as long as you are happy. "
