Chapter 287: War Induced
Ye Ningyu walked to the desk and picked up a pen and wrote a few names. "You can help my sister watch these people. If they make any big moves, let Fang Yanqing send me a message."
Fang Yanqing followed Ye Ningyu for many years. In order to avoid people's eyes, they had a strict way of sending messages between them, which could ensure that the message would not be intercepted during the transmission. Even if it was intercepted, other messages from other roads would be delivered on time. Moreover, others could not understand the content of the letter, so they were not worried that the message would be intercepted.
"Sister, don't take Fang Yanqing to the northern border?" Ye Anjun's focus was on another matter.
Ye Ningyu shook his head, "He has other things to do."
Ye Anjun then looked down at the names on the note. The people in front of him were all senior officials in the court, but when he noticed the last name, he couldn't help but wonder. "Why did the elder sister want me to stare at Brother Xu? What's wrong with him?"
Ye Ningyu shook his head, "There are some things he has to find out, so he doesn't have to look at him all the time. If you have any big moves, just tell me again. The important thing is the people in front."
Ye Anjun nodded, silently wrote down the names of several people, lit the fire note, and burned the note.
"There is one more thing." Ye Ningyu said, and handed Ye Anjun a small box. "There is a letter here. If the Ye family encounters difficulties, neither the fourth aunt nor the third uncle can solve them, so they take this to find Cui Jingzhong. He knows what to do."
Ye Anjun stared at Ye Ningyu blankly, "Cui Xiang?"
He was very surprised that the elder sister could actually shake Cui Xiang, who was the leader of all officials! Ye Anjun looked at Ye Ningyu deeply, and his eyes became more and more complicated.
"This letter cannot be used easily. Don't look for Xiang Cui before his life is endangered. I'm going to the border, and I think Emperor Yu won't use anything to make things difficult for the Ye family. I'm leaving this thing for you, just in case, and you don't have to worry." Ye Ning said.
The relationship between her and Cui Jingzhong is a mutual use relationship. The handle cannot be used easily, otherwise it will be easy to reverse the situation.
Ye Ningyu handed the box to Ye Anjun. "This thing is packed, no third person will know. Sister will leave it to you now."
"Don't worry, sister." Ye Anjun took the box, held the elder sister's hand, and made a silent promise.
That night, Fang Yanqing hurried to Qiushuiyuan with a message coming from the border. "Grand girl, this is from Captain Han."
Last night, as soon as we received news that the Liang army was approaching, Fang Yanqing went to the north to ask about the reason.
At this time, his letter had not yet arrived in the northern border, and the news of Captain Han had been sent back, only one day later than the military newspapers in the court. It can be seen that Captain Han also received the news and immediately sent it back.
Fang Yanqing's Xinbao Network was the way of sending messages from Ye Family Army, who learned from Fang Guanjia. Later, Fang Yanqing made optimizations and changes, which were no worse than the military newspaper network in the Korean Central Committee, and even faster. The reason why it was one day later was probably because Captain Han spent time spying on the border to spy on news.
Ye Ningyu took the letter and took a quick look. In the letter, Captain Han explained clearly the reason why the Liang army was overthrowing this time.
A centurion in the Yu State military camp led his troops to conduct routine inspections on the border and met a team of inspectors from Liang State.
According to the border agreement, there is no war stage between the two countries, and it is not uncommon to encounter each other's troops during inspection. As long as both sides do not raise trouble, they can live in peace with each other.
But for some reason that day, two teams had an argument when they met on the street. A small soldier from Yu State killed a soldier from Liang State, and the troops on both sides started fighting.
This incident reached the ears of the generals of the garrison on both sides. Song Changming, the Liang State's border guard, insisted on summoning the garrison of the Yu State. Chen Liang, the border guard of the Yu State, went to the appointment and dealt with the Yu State's military soldier who was the first to kill people. However, Song Changming was dissatisfied and claimed that he wanted the centurion and his more than 100 soldiers under him.
Chen Liang naturally did not agree. Three peace talks failed. Song Changming sent a thousand elite troops to the Yuguo City Gate to clamor and launch the first round of challenge.
Chen Liang sent a thousand elite troops to stop him, and both sides were injured. One day later, Song Changming personally led the troops, and another fierce battle was fought.
The small fight lasted for half a month, and suddenly one day, the Liang State came with a 50,000 army and was led by the crown prince. The crown prince threatened to seek justice for the defeated and dead soldiers of Liang State.
As soon as this happened, Chen Liang knew that the disaster was coming, and the two countries had a huge gap in military strength and did not dare to respond. He had to hurry up 800 miles and send the army back to Dadu and ask for support.
After reading the message sent by Captain Han, Ye Ningyu frowned.
It was said that Liang Renshi had become a master of Wuming, but now it seems that this is clearly intentional to cause trouble.
Ye Ningyu has been in the military camp. She knew very well that the border disputes at the junction of the two countries had never ended, especially the patrol soldiers encountered each other, and there were occasional collisions. However, during the truce between the two countries, it would not attract a large army, let alone a prince was sent.
This is really a big deal.
Ye Ningyu completely disbelief of saying that Liang State had no other purpose.
After carefully considering the background of this war, she felt something was strange. A war report suddenly came from the border, and according to the current state of Yu's treasury and combat power, it was not suitable for going to war.
If she was Emperor Yu, since she knew that the State Master Liang had become Wuming, she would first send an envoy to Yu State to ask about the reason.
Haste response is the only way to do so.
Emperor Yu would not have this concern, nor would he not have thought of this level. However, when the military newspaper came at the beginning of the evening, Emperor Yu made a decision to respond to the challenge the next day, which was not like his style.
Although Emperor Yu said in the court that not fighting this battle would damage his reputation, Ye Ningyu felt that this was not the original intention of Emperor Yu.
Unless Emperor Yu knew that this battle had to be fought, even if the mission was sent to Liang State for negotiation, the outcome of the war would not be changed.
So, why does this battle have to be fought? This is the biggest question Ye Ningyu is currently thinking.
What she could think of at the moment was that the six countries probably knew that Jiutianlu was not in Yu, and Yu had lost his power to the upper country, so Liang sent troops to put them in a test. If this was the case, then this battle would not be considered a life-and-death battle.
But this is just his guess. If there is only one reason, it would be a bit thin.
When he arrived at the border, he might be able to figure out this problem. Ye Ningyu couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it anymore.
She put the letter on the candlelight aside, and the letter immediately turned into a ball of ashes.
"Miss, how many people will we bring on this trip?" Fang Yanqing asked.
Ye Ningyu stood up and walked to Fang Yanqing. "This time you stay in Dadu and don't go to war with me."
"No, the border is dangerous, I have to go with you." Fang Yanqing said without thinking.
Ye Ningyu signaled Fang Yanqing to sit down and sat opposite him. "There are still many things at home that must be yours, you can't leave."
"I can arrange all those things." Fang Yanqing hurriedly said.
Ye Ningyu shook his head, "You can arrange other things, but Xiao Guizi must be watching you. I'm not at ease with the others."
