After Wang Dun came back, his house was empty.
Princess Sima Xiuyou was alone in the room, not knowing what she was doing.
He didn't want to ask or see her. After finishing his breakfast leisurely, he wanted to listen to his concubine Song Yi play "Plum Blossoms Fall" to relax his tense emotions and cultivate his sentiments.
I've been really tired lately.
Fortunately, Song Yi was a natural beauty and extremely talented in music. Among all the people in Luoyang, perhaps only the Jing family of the Sanqi Shilang Wang Yan family could rival her.
There are always beauties, some of them extremely beautiful, but there is nothing inside, which really makes people uninterested.
Therefore, he dismissed the other concubines and left Song Yi alone to entertain himself and soothe his mood without showing his treasure to others.
It is so rare to find people with both beauty and talent!
Compared with Song Yi, Princess Xiangcheng was arrogant and domineering, so she was not a good match. If she had not been indulged in sex in her early years and suffered from physical defects, she would have given birth to children with Song Yi and taught them carefully.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help it any longer, got up and called the servant, and asked: "Where is Su'e? Call her here."
The servant glanced at him and hesitated to speak.
Wang Dun was a little curious and asked, "But you haven't gotten up yet?"
"yes……"
Wang Dun smiled and said as he went out: "Let me go and take a look. The beauty is sleeping in spring. How wonderful it is."
"Mr. Sir, Song Ji stayed in the first room in the west wing last night." The servant said with a sudden change of heart.
Wang Dun paused.
It suddenly occurred to him that Shao Xun stayed in the mansion last night, seemingly in the first room on the west side, and they even met him this morning.
He suddenly turned around and headed straight towards the west wing.
His steps were getting faster and faster, and his fists were gradually clenched. No one could see his expression clearly, but everyone knew that he was on the verge of anger.
"Bang!" The door was pushed open, and what came into view was a field of white flowers.
Song Yizheng lowered his head and silently put on his clothes, preparing to get up.
Wang Dun felt a burst of energy and blood attack his heart. After a while, he asked without giving up: "Su'e, you - Shao Xun didn't do anything to you, right?"
Song Yi's eyes turned red, he slightly covered his slender white thighs, and stood up to salute.
Wang Dun took a quick glance, but he preferred not to see anything.
"Bang!" He slammed the door and walked out again, looking up at the sky.
The clouds are very light, almost invisible.
He lowered his head again and saw that the grass was green and full of green.
"It must be that bitch Sima Maoyuan!" Wang Dun quickly figured it out in his mind and became furious: "It's just that you gave up on Taoism. Is it worth hating me so much?"
As he walked around the hospital, the expression on his face changed drastically. One moment he was gritting his teeth, another moment he was cold and ruthless, and now he was full of fear.
Song Yi walked out of the door and floated into the distance like a lonely ghost.
Wang Dun seemed to notice it, but also didn't seem to notice it.
He walked around restlessly like a trapped animal.
I don't know how long he walked, but he finally stopped. A trace of determination flashed across his face, and he regained his composure in a moment. Nothing strange could be seen anymore.
He left the west wing, returned to the study, found the military book, and read it carefully.
There are many children in the Wang family, and if he wants to stand out, he has to rely on mystical talk, building relationships, and political balance. He has no advantage at all, only one thing: within the Wang family, he is the most knowledgeable about military affairs.
If there is a military position, it will most likely fall to him and not to anyone else.
This is his greatest and only advantage.
Now we must continue on this path, strive for excellence, and finally reap the sweet fruits of victory.
This is all he can do.
If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely kill this bitch like Sima Xiuyi. It is best not to notice it. Because there are some troubles that even he cannot bear and the Wang family cannot bear. They can only slowly look for opportunities.
Wang Yan came back in the afternoon, with a slightly worried look on his face.
When he entered the palace just now, no one else noticed, but he secretly saw it.
Shao Xun was very familiar with the military officer who was on duty in the palace. He talked with him from a distance for a long time before following him into the palace.
How could this person be able to exploit the camp better than me?
I decorate the court for the Tutor and the Emperor, and you train the military academy for them, right?
While he was thinking about it, the servant came over quietly and whispered in Wang Yan's ear.
After Wang Yan heard this, he was speechless for a long time.
How long has it been and why are you here again? How unbecoming it is to make the house restless.
"Call Song Yi." Wang Yan took off his shoes, knelt down on the couch and said.
"No." The servant saluted and was about to leave when he was stopped by Wang Yan.
The expression on the old man's face changed, and finally he felt that some dirty things were not suitable for him to do, so he said: "Send someone to bring Song Yi's family into the mansion, and then send a car to take this girl to Liang County .After doing this, report it to the princess and see what she says."
"No." The servant understood and knew what to do.
This is called killing three birds with one stone.
The princess is obviously angry, and this move may help calm her down.
If you control Song Yi's family, you will also control Song Yi.
He was sent to Liang County to sell Lu Yanghou a favor, letting him know that the Wang family was reluctant to part with him and felt guilty.
In fact, no matter how effective the strategy is, this is the only way to do it now.
After waving his servant away, Wang Yan sat down quietly, thinking about the pros and cons of entering the palace to ask questions.
****
On the post road from Luoyang to Liang County, carts loaded with grain and ordnance were moving slowly.
It was still beneficial to enter the palace. The emperor agreed, and Wang Yan ordered to distribute a large amount of food and equipment, and a small amount of money and silk to Shao Xun, and led him out to Xiangcheng to block a road for the thieves to enter the capital.
After Shao Xun accepted the order, he didn't even return home. He led his soldiers directly to Shenyuan Pass in the southeast of Yanshi, intending to walk this road himself.
To the south of the Luoyang Basin, there are three passes, from west to east they are Yique, Sheyuan and Dugu.
Among them, Yique Pass located in the south of Luoyang is the most important.
Because this pass is the only dangerous place on this road, there are flat valleys before and after the pass, but Yique Pass is quite "dangerous".
Daguguan is located at the north entrance of the valley dozens of miles southeast of Luoyang, and serves as the valley road.
The sides of the valley are steep, the trails are rugged, and it's very easy to ambush, so you generally won't go here.
Shenyuan Pass is located fifty or sixty miles southeast of Yanshi. The mountain road is dangerous and winding, with twelve twists and turns, so it gets its name.
After leaving the mountain, you can reach Yangcheng County.
After leaving Yangcheng County, go southeast and march along the Yingshui River. It is relatively convenient and you can go all the way to Yangdi.
Shao Xun walked the mountain valley road for more than a hundred miles for five days and drew a detailed map.
When we got close to Yushanwu, we even saw two earthen cities that had been eroded by wind and rain.
"This is Yangguanju, more than thirty miles northwest of Yangzhai County." Yu Liang, who followed, said: "In the past, Wang Mang sent Wang Xun, and Wang Yi sent millions of troops to Yingchuan, and Liu Xiu sent thousands of soldiers
, and it is Yangguan. These two earthen cities standing opposite each other across the Yingshui River are Yangguanju."
"Yuan Gui has done his homework." Shao Xun smiled.
Yu Liang smiled faintly.
Who has no ambition? Seeing Shao Xun gaining momentum step by step, but he did nothing, not to mention how anxious he was.
But now he has no focus and doesn't know where to put his efforts.
The Taifu Shogunate saw that there was no room for improvement, so the only option was to rely on Shao Xun, right?
Not long ago in Luoyang, his mother had a long talk with him, and he finally made up his mind.
I follow Shao Xun from time to time. In the eyes of others, I have long been a die-hard Shao Party member. It is a complete waste of time to go to Xuchang to be the boring Dongge wine sacrificer.
So, when Taifu moved to Juancheng, he resigned from the post of offering wine in Dongge and returned to Luoyang.
Recalling the looks in the eyes of the Taifu and the shogunate officials at that time, Yu Liang felt ashamed.
But after returning to Luoyang, he found that he had nothing to do, and he felt lost for a long time.
Until a few days ago, Shao Xun took himself with him to travel across mountains and rivers to explore this post road.
He did his homework in advance in order to make a big splash.
"How do you feel after walking all this way?" Shao Xun walked to the bank of Ying River, ordered someone to measure the depth of the water, and asked casually.
"This road is not easy to walk. Will Wang Mi really come?" Yu Liang asked doubtfully.
"There is progress." Shao Xun laughed and said: "It is always right to be fully prepared. Remember, even if the backup plan is not used in the end, you must have a backup plan and you must not be careless."
Yu Liang nodded slightly.
"I don't know which road Wang Mi will take. I hope he will take the Fuyuan Road instead of the Yique Road, but things are unpredictable. Who can say for sure." Shao Xun said: "The Emperor also did it.
With both hands prepared, Miao Yin led 8,000 troops to guard Yique. Miao Bo led 5,000 troops to guard Zhiyuan. On the other side of Dagu Pass, there were also 3,000 troops led by Mi Huang, the commander of Sili School. No matter which way Wang Mi took
It's not that easy to live in the Tao. Once the troops are under Guancheng, the spirit will be gone."
When he entered the palace to ask questions, Wang Yan put forward a detailed plan based on the strengths of each family.
The Forbidden Army was sent to guard the three passes of Luonan. They used the mountains, rivers and fortified cities to consume the enemy's troops, supplies and energy. When their fatigue showed, the main force of the Forbidden Army, which had been recuperating for a long time, was dispatched to go out for a decisive battle and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
enemy.
This plan can be said to be very conservative. It fully takes into account the current state of the Forbidden Army. It allows them to focus on defense. They should first adapt to the atmosphere of the battlefield and see the quality of the enemy's troops before making any calculations.
A decent defensive counterattack tactic, as long as it is executed well, if nothing unexpected happens, the chances of winning are very high. Wang Mi doesn't even have a chance to reach the outskirts of Luoyang.
In this plan, Shao Xun even saw a hidden murderous intention: if Wang Mi could not attack Zhenyuan Pass, or did not take that route, Shao Xun would be forced to fight the enemy decisively. Because if he was not defeated, Wang Mi would
Mi can't get close to Yique Pass at all.
This old wall lamp! It’s so annoying that it comes in sets.
But there is nothing you can do about it. If you have the ability, don’t take other people’s money, food and supplies.
When the imperial court sucks your blood, it makes you work for your life. It is essentially a transaction.
After leaving Yangguanju, Shao Xun went straight to Xiangcheng and Jiacheng areas to conduct investigations.
Xiangcheng County governs seven counties including Xiangcheng, Jiacheng, Wuyang, and Kunyang. It is the east gate of Guangchengze and one of the main roads south to Nanyang. It can be said to be an important place.
What's even better is that the aristocratic family here is not very powerful, so it won't make a particularly loud noise when doing it.
If Wang Mi doesn't come, it's hard for him to intervene.
