Li Zhang

When Li Zhang was in the mountains, he tried his best to avoid giving Zhang Yu the opportunity to ask questions, until Zhang Yu was about to return to Zhang Yuan, he quietly stood in front of Zhang Yu with his eyes down, silently waiting for him to speak.

Like those soldiers these days, Zhang Yu is always in a state of excitement. Although he really wants to know about Li Zhang's situation, he can't find the right time in the battle rhythm completely controlled by Li Zhang. He just relaxes. When I was resting, I couldn't help feeling Li Zhang's stronger and stronger heart and more superb formation changes, and I became more curious about the years after I separated from Li Zhang.

He has always wanted to ask Li Zhang many questions, from the case of King Ning to entering the palace.But when Li Zhang stood in front of him silently and quietly as before, suddenly he couldn't ask any of those questions.

He knows Li Zhangyin's stubbornness in silence better than anyone else, and because of this, he was awakened by nightmares countless times when the pressure of the King Ning case was the most stressful. Wu Zijun.Now Li Zhang has not been killed by stubbornness like in his dream, maybe that has explained everything.

So he decided not to ask anything.Since Li Zhang is unwilling to mention it, there is no need for him to uncover the past.No matter how Li Zhang came here, he is good, and more confident and stronger than before, that is the best.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu patted Li Zhang's shoulder with emotion, and embraced him again, but the hand that was used to pressing his head stopped halfway.

"Looks like it's grown taller?"

As Zhang Yu spoke, he pulled Li Zhang away and made a careful comparison.Li Zhang looked at him dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

Zhang Yu's eyes were wet from the comparison, the past scenes flashed before his eyes, the young man who was humiliated but refused to back down, has now become a confident young man who is calm and calm, let him feel sincerely In addition to pride, there is an unstoppable sharp distress.

"Follow me to Dingbei Army, General Su is a man who loves talents. Wu Zijun is now the vanguard general of Dingbei Army, and he misses you very much."

Li Zhang was silent, grateful to Zhang Yu for not asking, but there were some things he had to say to him.

"Brother, I escaped. Therefore, I will not let him see me again. If there is any need in the army, brother can bring a letter to Aunt Zhao in Shanqian Village. I will definitely go when I get the letter."

Zhang Yu knew that Li Zhang had made up his mind, and couldn't stop feeling regretful and sad, so he forced a smile and teased him: "That wooden bird is really interesting, why don't you make one for me too?"

Li Zhang blushed immediately, hesitated for a long time, and then said: "Wooden birds don't know how to find people by themselves. If the eldest brother doesn't know where I am, he won't be able to find me if he has it."

Zhang Yu looked at Li Zhang meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Brother has always had the illusion that he is with Wei Guogong these days, so, even if you say that Mu Niao is omnipotent, I will believe it."

"Brother! How is that possible!"

"Where is it impossible? The grievances my elder brother has suffered in Zhang Yuan have been enough these days!"

Li Zhang paused for a moment, then asked: "I'm afraid that the big brother will be held accountable for Zhang Yuan's mistake?"

Zhang Yu nodded, his face became heavy: "I was too careless. There have been various signs for a long time, but I have not made up my mind to close the market early, and there are loopholes in the defense at the city gate. General Rong... Anyway, Guan Ji I am responsible for everything, and the responsibility for failure is inevitable."

"What happened, General Rong?"

Zhang Yu hesitated for a moment, but in the end he was unwilling to speak out his unfounded speculation, so he just waved his hand and said, "Maybe General Rong just didn't have time to exchange news with me." He suddenly remembered something, stared at Li Zhang slowly Said: "Your cousin, Ling Yuncong, failed to come out with me..."

Li Zhang was shocked, and looked at Zhang Yu with wide eyes, his lips trembled slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Zhang Yu lowered his head and squeezed Li Zhang's shoulder, seeing that it was getting late, hugged Li Zhang again, and waved goodbye.

Li Zhang stared blankly at Zhang Yu and the others going away, seeing all kinds of Ling Yuncong's past in front of him, his mind was so confused that he lost his judgment and thoughts for a while.

In the capital, the envoys sent by Xianbei Xin Shanyu have not yet left, and the court has received the news that Xianbei people used Guanji to make trouble and break Zhangyuan.The envoy was terrified, and asked to see the minister of Honglu Temple every day, but Qian Jun refused all of them under excuses. He didn't meet the envoy the next day until he learned that Zhang Yuan had been regained.After seeing Qian Jun, the envoy pleaded guilty again and again, affirming that the people who attacked Zhang Yuan were definitely not the people led by Xin Shanyu, and asked the Minister of Honglu Temple to defend him in the court hall.

Later in the early court, Meng Yao, Minister of the Ministry of War, questioned the legitimacy of Rong Huan's military aid to the west due to the destruction of the dam near Dongba. Su Qingyang's order to go to support is reasonable. If you want to blame, you can only blame Xianbei for going back and forth. I am afraid that he has long had the wolf ambition to get involved in the customs. Now sending envoys to fix it is just their delay, maybe it is just to cover them up. In Zhang Yuan's real purpose.

When Liu Dianzhai said this, many people responded immediately, all asking to detain the Xianbei envoys and punish the beauties sent by the Xianbei people.Sima Yi sat down on the dragon chair with his eyes down, and after listening to their yelling, he raised his eyes and glanced at those people, and said with a half-smile: "Compared with Zhang Yuan's loss, it seems that all the lovers are more concerned about the Xianbei people sending you off." The beauty who came here! I don’t know that the Xianbei people use the beauty to delay, just to take down Zhang Yuan? The split of Xianbei happened at the end of last year, and the lovers still can’t tell the origin of several Xianbei movies. Worry about it!"

Qian Jun came out at the right time and said: "What the emperor said is true. The envoys who came to the court were sent by Xianbei Xin Shanyu. His tribe has moved to the Chifeng area and did not participate in this Zhangyuanguan collection. The split The Kelubi and Buyixi tribes that came out are the real worries for my dynasty. I hope that the emperor can consider the matter of repairing these two Xianbei tribes as appropriate."

As soon as Qian Jun finished speaking, Zhou Mao came out to support him and said, "Master Qian's words are absolutely true! Although it is hateful for the Xianbei people to break through and plunder, but they have no follow-up power, so it can be seen that they have no intention of setting foot on the Central Plains just now. According to what I see, the strength of the Xianbei people has been dispersed after the split, and they are no longer as tigers and wolves as before. This is a good opportunity for me to show my favor to Huairou."

Meng Yao sneered in great panic: "Just as the thieves robbed your cattle, you rushed to send the sheep up again, Mr. Zhou is so kind and generous! .

Zhou Mao replied coldly: "The so-called petty intolerance leads to chaos and big plans. Mr. Meng is brave, but he doesn't know where the food and grass for war come from?"

Meng Yao is happy.Full of resentment but speechless, K and Zhou Mao have been arguing over this issue for a long time. The upright Zhou Mao even showed him the income and expenditure of the household department. Although K does not understand the use of many expenses, the figures on the book are clear Yes, I am also horrified at the emptiness of the treasury.Besides, even though Zhou Mao always argued with him every time, he never withdrew and delayed the expenses he really needed. This also made him feel tempted to contradict Zhou Mao when he heard Zhou Mao's words, but he would not really pay for it. reason against him.

Sima Yi heard the present quietly, and saw that the issue had returned to the issue that had been disputed for a long time, so he couldn't help turning his eyes to Jin Bai who had been standing silently by the side all the time, and pointed at his head: "Jin Qing is right with the other two. What's your opinion on Xianbei's restoration?"

Jin Bai bowed and responded, "Kolubi and Bu Yixi still have territorial disputes, and it may be difficult to fix it without land cession. At present, the places they covet are all in Yunzhong, and Yunzhong is occupied by Rouran. The minister thinks that instead of trying to fix it without being able to meet its substantive requirements, it is better to stir up the contradiction between Rouran and them to fight, if it can be done, it will be beneficial to the fishermen."

Sima Yi raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "How sure do you think this matter is, Qing?"

Jin Bai pondered for a while, and replied: "Less than [-]%. Cheng Xuan deliberately withdrew the mourning army from the cloud, and he had already made it clear that Rouran was willing to give up the cloud. At present, there are only two There is a chance. Fortunately, Kelubi and Bu Yixi have been fighting for everything since they took over the position. I am afraid that Cheng Xuan can only give up a cloud to satisfy their appetite, and we have this less than [-]% chance .”

Liu Dianzhai then asked: "Master Jin already has a feasible strategy?"

Jin Bai glanced at Qian Jun, and pushed the question to him: "Lord Qian has a good relationship with the Xianbei envoy, you should ask the envoy about the preferences and weaknesses of Kelubi and Bu Yixi, and you can prescribe the right medicine! "

Sima Yi nodded: "What Jin Qing said is true! This matter will be presided over by Qian Qing, and the personnel required will be spent. The Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Rites will do their best to help. We must implement this matter as soon as possible!"

Qian Jun immediately turned bitter, secretly slandered Jin Bai, and stepped forward to accept the order.

After retiring from the imperial court, Sima Yi sent Jin Bai and Mu Yan to the imperial study room, and asked the secret guards about the information sent back from northern Xinjiang. I have some doubts about the purpose, and I am also skeptical about Zhang Yuan's fall and being taken back so quickly.

Jin Bai also had doubts in his heart, but he still reported back according to the report in his hand: "According to Bai Qi's report, the mourning army is indeed repairing oars, rafts, and digging ditches outside Yanmen Pass, and the news from the Guoxiang Mansion is that Cheng Xuan was forced to The Rouran people put all their efforts to prove their loyalty. Since Hexi entered Jiuyuan, Loufan Pass has been harassed by him. He intends to get his hands on Yanmen Pass, so it is natural for him to be worried."

Sima Yi pondered, and then asked: "So Xianbei...?"

"The two tribes of Xianbei are indeed at odds. This time Zhang Yuan's misfortune was caused by Bu Yixi's tribe leader. It is not yet known whether he and Rouran have access to water. As for Zhang Yuan's loss, Rong Huan said that because of Zhang Yuan's guard against Zhang Yuan's collection, the soldiers all It is a person who does not take off his armor and does not untie his saddle, so he set off as soon as he received the order from General Su. Before he left, he sent messengers to inform Zhang Yu, but it seemed that something went wrong. Zhang Yu didn't know that Rong Huan's army had left Zhang Yu. wall."

Sima Yi sullenly said, "Even if Zhang Yu didn't know that Rong Huan's army had left, how could Xianbei break the city with less than [-] people, relying on the [-] defenders in Zhangyuan City!"

Jin Bai glanced at Mu Yan when he heard the words, and Mu Yan said in a deep voice: "According to the report from the soldiers Zhang Yu sent back at the beginning of the incident, the incident in the city has just started, and the city gate fortress has been flanked by Xianbei people who have mixed in. The city gate was not closed in time, causing the Xianbei people to rush in. After Zhang Yuan recovered, the officials sent people to investigate the reason. Some surviving city gate guards said that the captain of the city gate was sent out because of the warning of Captain Ling. Half of the soldiers rushed to the city to support, so the city gate was weakly defended, and the Xianbei people took the opportunity."

"Lieutenant Ling? Why does Captain Chengmen obey orders from Captain Ling?!"

Mu Yan hesitated for a moment, looked up at Sima Yi, and said: "Lieutenant Ling is in charge of the security of Guanji, and he has no right to mobilize the soldiers at the city gate. But the warning arrow was Rong Huan's private emergency arrow. He himself did not know when he went to Colonel Ling's place."

Sima Yi looked suspiciously at Mu Yan's serious expression, suddenly had a bad feeling, stared at Mu Yan for a long time, and then slowly asked: "Captain Ling, is it Ling Yuncong?"

Mu Yan nodded without evasion: "Yes. He disappeared in Zhangyuan."
