Xie Qian's attitude was very impatient and had a kind of indifference to keeping people from thousands of miles away. Novels.

This kind of indifference was unexpected by Yun Liu. In her mind, Xie Qian has always been a responsible and emotional pillar of the court. He is like a father and son with Chen Xi, and has a friendship between teachers and students. He will never ignore it in the face of the overall situation of stability in the country and the country.

But Xie Qian's current attitude made Yunliu feel that the other party didn't want to help.

"Gei Xie..."

Yunliu wanted to continue talking about Xiang, but was stopped by Xie Qian and said in a deep voice: "I know you want to win my understanding for the people you serve, but you must understand that my responsibility is not to accompany him to win the battle, but to defend the territory. I can seconded ships and carriages so that he can quickly withdraw to the pass, but I must not let Yansui send troops."

Speaking of this, Xie Qian's attitude was firm and his meaning was expressed very clearly.

Xie Qian was unwilling to send troops to help, but in fact it coincided with Chen Xi's advance explanation to Yunliu.

Yun Liu thought to himself: "Why did Master Xie refuse to send troops before I set out to Yansui for help? Did he guess that Master Xie would not transfer troops to help? So even if I could meet people in Yansui Town, I would only return without success? Why didn't Master Xie not let me see the three-sided governor Wang?"

"You go!"

Xie Qian turned his back, held his hands, and his tone was extremely cold, "Go back and tell him not to make any extraordinary achievements. Destroying the Tatars is neither the responsibility he should shoulder, nor should it be a burden to our Ming Dynasty. So what if he destroyed the Tatars? If the Tatars were destroyed, wouldn't there be Urianha and the Oirats? It is impossible for us to set up garrisons on the grasslands, so why should we defend such bitter and cold lands?"

Yun Liu was very disappointed and said nothing, just standing there listening to Xie Qian's teachings.

Xie Qian turned around and asked seriously: "Will Yansui not sending reinforcements? He will still insist on leading his troops to fight the Tartars?"

Xie Qian's eyes were full of expectations for this question, thinking that Yun Liu could answer him, even if the other party was just a messenger responsible for the transmission of orders.

Yun Liu looked sad and said, "It's not a question of whether my elders are willing to fight, but they have to fight... The 100,000 Tatar troops are chasing behind their backs. Perhaps when they were working in front of Mr. Xie, the troops led by the Lord had already faced the Tatar Pioneer. If my elders were in danger, would Mr. Xie still refuse to save them?"

In the end, Yun Liu no longer just reported to Xie Qian, but was more questioning and using her own way.

Xie Qian was questioned and couldn't help but be stunned. He seemed to be not very prepared for this issue. After a little silence, Xie Qian suddenly understood and shook his head and sighed: "No matter what purpose Shen Zhihou started this war and what happened in the middle of the march, this is an integral part of his plan of failure. If the entire Ming Dynasty wanted to take huge risks to be responsible for his strategic mistakes, it would be irresponsible to the Ming Dynasty!"

Xie Qian's words sounded cold-blooded and ruthless to Yunliu.

Xie Qianxu said: "Even I don't deny it. He is a rare genius since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. He is enough to remember it in history with his ability, but what he needs is precipitation, rather than being determined to do it again and again. If the former emperor is still in power, he would never allow him to do such an unreasonable thing..."

"Since the current emperor agreed to his troops, the target he is asking for help should not be me, but the emperor. This is the correct way for him to break the deadlock for his mistakes in his war decision-making."

"But..." Yun Liu was very anxious.

In terms of eloquence, she believed that she could not compare with Xie Qian.

Although she hated Xie Qian for not sending troops to help, she could understand this because Xie Qian said this from the standpoint of national justice, family, country, and people. However, no matter how reasonable Xie Qian said it, Yun Liu could only understand that the other party was inhumane at all.

A simple rejection may push Chen Xi to death.

In Yunliu's mind, Chen Xi is not only the Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty, but also her boss, but also her man and her future dependence.

She did not allow Xie Qian to be so heartless and righteous to her man.

"Nothing but!"

Xie Qian's words still seemed extremely cold. In order to prevent himself from being soft-hearted, he did not even look at Yunliu and said in a firm tone, "If he wants to come back, he will definitely return safely with his mind. Even if the entire army is wiped out, he will also submit a memorial to Your Majesty for mercy for him, and may even use this life to punish him and ask His Majesty to give him mercy. But if he is asked to take the welfare of thousands of people with him, it will definitely not work! If he cannot come back safely this time, I will not continue to be an official in the court, and from then on, I will retire to the mountains and forests and guard his tombs! I will represent the people of the world and thank him for everything he has done for the Ming Dynasty!"

Speaking of this, Xie Qian was somewhat excited.

Despite repeated tolerance, two lines of clear tears still flowed from the corners of his eyes. As for why these two lines of tears came, whether they were regretful, angry, or other more complex emotions, it was very understandable.

However, in terms of the sadness and despair in her heart, Yun Liu thought she was more sad than Xie Qian. What she was sad was Xie Qian's indifferent and unfaithfulness, and she was even more worried about Chen Xi's future destiny.

In her opinion, no one can compare to Chen Xi in terms of stubbornness... Chen Xi would never live in vain and flee back to the Ming Dynasty alone, and she also decided to go back and fight with Chen Xi.

Yun Liu bowed and said, "Since Master Xie has made a decision, I will retire... I will convey all the words of Master Gong to my parents."

After saying that, Yun Liu turned around and was about to leave. Facing an old stubborn man who refused to help, she had lost the respect she deserved. Just as she walked to the door, Xie Qian's voice came.

"You wait first."

Xie Qian shouted and wanted to leave Yunliu to ask some questions.

Yun Liu turned around and asked with hope, "Geor Master Xie has any other instructions?"

"you……"

Xie Qian hesitated and sighed, "Oh, you'd better help me bring a letter. Just by your mouth, I don't think he will change his mind... He is stubborn and has never seen a stubborn and innocent person like him. If he always succeeds, it would be fine. As long as there is a failure, history will only remember his disgraceful side and not remember the achievements he has made... Even if I want to enlighten him, the censor will not, because the things he did are too unique."

Yun Liu suddenly realized that Xie Qian was actually kind. At least in his attitude towards Chen Xi, Xie Qian was not as ruthless as he showed. He just stood on the standpoint of national justice and did not dare to risk sending troops.

"As far as Master Xie is concerned, I will pass the letters to the masters." Yun Liu said.

...

...

After Yun Liu left with the letter, Xie Qian sat alone on the chair, and was in a state of distractedness.

He was holding the boiled soup in his hand, but he didn't even realize the medicine sprinkled. It didn't know how long it took, and even the red candle on the candlestick was almost burning out. Xie Qian came back to his senses because Wang Qiong entered his study at this time.

"Gei Master Xie."

When Wang Qiong saw Xie Qian's expression, he knew something was going on.

The reason why he came here was that he heard from his subordinates that Xie Qian met a special envoy who entered the north gate of Yulin Weicheng in the east wing. If an envoy from the Sanbian Jun Town would never be able to enter the city from outside the Great Wall, then the special envoy had a high possibility that he had come from the grassland, so he came to find out the situation.

Only then did Xie Qian notice that the medicine bowl in his hand was tilted at some point, and the medicine juice was sprinkled all over the floor. He tidied it up a little, but he wanted to stand up, but he had no strength and sat on the chair, looking very depressed.

"Dehua, I have a lot of news!" Xie Qian calmed down before saying quietly.

Wang Qiong was shocked and asked with wide eyes: "Sir Xie Ge said, "Sir Shen has brought troops from Datong? The Tatars..."

"Here we come."

Xie Qian explained in detail, "It is the main force of the Tatar Khan tribe, led by Dayan Khan Batumonk himself, with about 100,000 troops... The war broke out inside the Tatars before, and the Yongsebu tribe you mentioned has been destroyed by Batumonk!"

Wang Qiong was still shocked and asked impatiently: "When will Mr. Xie, Shangshu Shen bring his troops back? Will he arrange for the troops to pick him up?"

Xie Qian looked up at Wang Qiong, with an extremely complicated emotion in his eyes and said, "Do you think the three sides should send people to make trouble with him at this time?"

If Xie Qian's words were a question, Wang Qiong might give two completely different answers, but Xie Qian described Shen Xi's carefully planned military operations as "nonsense", and indirectly expressed Xie Qian's tendency, making Wang Qiong realize that Xie Qian would not agree with sending troops to cooperate with Shen Xi's battle, even though Xie Qian had said before that the news should be correct before he would use troops.

Now that there is news, Xie Qian will not fulfill his promise.

Wang Qiong didn't know what to say for a moment, and after thinking for a long time, he asked, "Shen Shangshu led his troops to Yansui... but he didn't know how many days he would arrive?"

Xie Qian said: "According to the envoy he sent back, it may be about four or five days, and perhaps it may be shorter."

Wang Qiong seemed very nervous: "Then... we will not do anything. Shen Shangshu led his troops to march thousands of miles on the grassland, and there must be no people and horses. Moreover, the army is mainly infantry. If he competes with the Tatar cavalry, it will definitely not be enough. Besides... Even if Shen Shangshu can cross mountains and rivers all the way, after all, there is still Yuxi River in front. Now it is when the water rises in summer, so it is not easy for his men to cross the river."

Xie Qian looked at Wang Qiong: "What are you worried about this for him? He came all the way east, and I don't know how many rivers he passed on the road. Will he be stumped by the mere Yuxi River? No matter how wide the Yuxi River is and how fast the water flows, it is not as dangerous as the Yellow River, right?"

"This... anything can happen during the march. Yuxi River is the mother river of Yulin Weicheng. You can go directly to the upstream ferry. Since it is a slaughter, why don't you help me and have to wait for death? Besides, the decisive battle with the Tatars in the Hetao area is a strategic layout. My Yansui army is close to you. If you don't send troops, wouldn't it be a real person? What should I explain to the court?" Wang Qiong raised an objection.

In this kind of major event involving the life and death of the cottage, Wang Qiong did not blindly obey Xie Qian's instructions and had his own opinions.

Xie Qian heard this kind of opinion was very upset. Even though he had said before that everything was decided by Wang Qiong, the three-sided general system, he was still unwilling to give up the power of dispatch.

Xie Qian said a little annoyed: "Is it because I was ignoring it? The Tatars are just outside the city. You sent boats out, aren't you giving gifts to the Tatars for nothing? If something happened to the fleet, do you say that rescue or not? Then the situation will be more troublesome?"

Speaking of this, Xie Qian said earnestly: "This battle is because His Majesty and all the troops have not taken action according to the established plan. Shen Zhihou made a mistake. Now that there is a situation, why can't he abandon his baggage, break through the encirclement and escape back to the pass? If he wants to flatten the grassland, he will not have a chance in the future. He has to force the war under such extremely harsh conditions and put the three sides in danger! Who will be responsible for the safety of the people in the northwest border?"

Wang Qiong had no choice.

No matter what his attitude he held, he had to obey Xie Qian's orders when sending troops, because Xie Qian was the chief minister of the dynasty and had the right to decide on many things, which even related to Wang Qiong's future development direction in the court.

No matter how independent Wang Qiong has, he cannot go against Xie Qian like Shen Xi.

So when he realized that Xie Qian could not agree to cooperate with Shen Xi in the three sides to use troops, he could only go back and investigate the information immediately to determine when Shen Xi's troops would be able to come back and prepare for the reception at any time.

Yunliu left the Governor's Office and was in a very bad mood, but she didn't dare to neglect any because Shen Xi arranged other tasks for her.

"Sir, I asked me to find supplies for boats and other things to build floating bridges in the city." Yun Liu was very anxious, "Where will I go to raise them for a while? I also need civil servants to row boats to the ferry to lay the floating bridges... Mr. Xie Ge just said he would help, but it seemed that he did not implement the specific implementation in the action. Should I go to see the Governor Wang of the Three-Border Region?"

Yun Liu was in a dilemma and had to temporarily return to the contact point of Yulin Cang City to rest.

Yansui is not unfamiliar with Yunliu. Shen Xi served as the governor of the three sides here, and later generalized the military affairs of the northwest as the governor of Xuanda. At that time, Yunliu could almost walk sideways in Yulin City. This time, he revisited his hometown and came to the secret contact point set up before to arrange local informants to do business.

When she arrived at the contact point, she found that Xier had also come to Yansui.

"Is it the lord who asked you to come?"

Yunliu was very confused before, and Xier's arrival made her feel a little relieved. She had a trustworthy sister by her side.

Xier said: "Yes, senior sister, sir, let me inform you about something, saying that we don't have to go back for the time being, just do the things he arranged in Yansui."

Yunliu became anxious when she heard this: "What are you saying? Adults may encounter wars at any time in the north, so we should stay by your side and listen to it!"

Xier's eyes showed an incomprehensible look: "But this is what the adult said to me personally. The adult said, let us prepare the ship that lays the floating bridge, but remember to load gunpowder on the ship... We don't have to worry about other things. The adult strictly prohibits us from going back, saying that the matter here is more important."

Yun Liu was confused: "Sir, let us prepare the boats to lay the floating bridge. Do you think that sir... is he convinced that Master Xie will not agree to send troops?"

"I don't know, senior sister, sir, didn't say this to me." Xier looked confused.

If someone else said he didn't know, Yun Liu still felt that he might have concealed it intentionally, but if Xier said this, Yun Liu had no doubts about it. It was because Yun Liu had full trust in Xier, and she didn't even think that Xier had the brain to know what to say and what not to say.

Yunliu said: "I understand how I found a boat to pave the bridge with Yuxi River, but what does it mean to load gunpowder on the boat? Do you want to immediately use explosives to sank the boat after crossing the river so that the Mongols can't cross the river calmly, so that they can get rid of the pursuers?"

Xier shook her head: "I don't know."

Yun Liu seemed very anxious: "Apart from these, have you told you anything else?"

Xier thought for a while and said, "My Lord said how to find the ship. She also said that if the ship is not enough, she can use his letter to find Lord Wang to second it, saying that Lord Wang will definitely help."

Yun Liu said: "It seems that sir is familiar with the matter here, so I don't have to worry about it... What are you doing? Hurry up and do things as the sir told me. The situation is critical and urgent."
