After a big defeat and an inexplicable battle for the north, Meng Yan and Xiao Yu seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding. Meng Huan's troops returned to Xiangyang, and Deng Ang, who was acting as the Condor General's Mansion, no longer pressed Suizhou.

.

On the Ning Dynasty, Xiao Yu asked Teng Han to return to Xuzhou, and only asked Yu Qingwu to defend against the four towns on the eastern front of Shenzhou, and did not allow the war to begin lightly. At the same time, Xiao Han, the prince of Anqing, was appointed as the governor of Suizhou, and was under the jurisdiction of the General of the West of Zhen.

.

Everyone has their own victory or defeat, and their merits and demerits are offset. The only reward is Zhou Ce. Meng Yan did not go through the discussion of Santai and directly issued the imperial decree to establish Huangchuan Prefecture with Huangchuan as the center, and governed the new county, Gushi

, Huaibin, at the same time, Guangshan and Shangzhen were promoted to counties, with a total of six counties, Zhou Ce as the commander of Huangchuan, and led three school offices, and all the trips were directly connected to the Grand Commander's Office.

"Cough cough cough!" The continuous cough broke the embarrassment in the main hall. Yu Qingwu became ill, and his heart disease directly showed his appearance through his body.

"The general needs to rest more. After we repair it, we will recover the four towns of Shenzhou in one go." Xiao Han encouraged, but seemed to be concealing something.

"The prince doesn't need to comfort me. There are no outsiders when I sit down, General Changsun?" Yu Qingwu deliberately pointed Changsun Ji. Although Changsun Ji went south to support him this time, they did not catch up with several wars due to the slow marching problem.

.

"What the general said is that we are all our own people." A cater tone and a humble attitude is the situation of Changsun Ji. Yu Qingwu's achievements are brilliant, and he has never suffered a great defeat in three years of confrontation with Chen Zhiqing, who is famous in the Western Prefecture.

Facing Quartz twice, he suffered a lot. He was the first person in Ning Dynasty and was deeply trusted by the emperor. This is a model among surrendered generals. Who can afford to offend him? Xiao Han is a child of the royal family, and he has both

His Majesty’s trust is second only to Xiao Ze’s existence among the royal children. Who dares to mess with him?

"General Sun, your Danyang soldiers are elite troops in the Central Plains. Can you ask you to go to Xicheng to take charge?" Yu Qingwu was indeed upset about the four towns. His strategic position was not particularly prominent, but he was stuck like a fishbone.

You have to ignore it, and you can't devote yourself wholeheartedly, so you have to have a general who can hold on and get entangled with the four towns. Changsun Ji is the most suitable right now.

Changsun Ji was overjoyed. This was a good thing. He could lead the army alone and not be bound by Qingwu. How could he not be happy?

"The last general will receive the order! Today we will start to garrison Xicheng. General. Don't worry, Zhou Ce, a child in Huangkou, will certain family be responsible for his head to avenge our bloody feud of the soldiers in Daning!"

Yu Qingwu smiled and verbally supported Changsun Ji's bold words, but what he thought was that as long as he could defend Xicheng, it would be a great contribution. What kind of person Zhou Ce was, he would take a few days to do.

Some people say that Zhou Ce has been deeply involved in Chen Zhiqing's true legend, but in fact, the two have almost never had any interactions.

Speaking of hatred, I am afraid that the people in Xifu have a better understanding. I heard that Quartz vomited blood and was recalled to Chengdu for recuperation. Now the person in Jiangxia has been replaced by Deng Ang, and Gu Xifeng was severely injured on the west front of Yunmeng.

He was transferred back to Chengdu to recuperate. The entire Yunmeng line was full of young generals. These people were not familiar with Yu Qingwu. The two yamen did not have a deep understanding of the young generals of the Western Prefecture, so Yu Qingwu was not in a hurry to start a war again.

Yu Qingwu's thoughts, Meng Huan, Deng Ang and others were not clear about it. As the mistress of the Western Palace, Gu Qingfeng could not stay at the border for a long time. Under the instruction of Meng Yan, Gu Qingfeng re-planned the defense lines of the two generals' mansions, and used Han

Water is the boundary, Meng Huan is the one who is located on the left, and Deng Ang is the one who is located on the right, and the two governments do not belong to each other and cooperate with each other.

In order to better defend, Deng Ang moved his central army tent from Jiangxia to Jingshan. As the vanguard, Tan Ji fearlessly placed the vanguard camp in Guangshui City, facing Xiao Han in Suizhou City.

The Xifu and Ning Dynasty gradually formed a new situation to confront each other. Luo Chen was honest. Although he defeated Gu Xifeng, he did not go south because of this, but instead held the original defense line.

When the situation in Yunmeng was inconsistency, two major battles broke out between the north and the south. Youdu sent general Lu Jiuyou to go out of Taiyuan and attacked Qinyuan. Quan Zheng urgently transferred Feng You out of Huozhou, and the two armies broke out in Qinyuan.

The largest battle in the past five years has taken place, with countless casualties on both sides, and Qinshui has been dyed red.

After two consecutive months of battle, both sides were exhausted. Lu Jiuyou lured Feng You to fight in a decisive battle at the spirit stone when the rainy season was about to come. Feng You, after three days of struggling, knew that the spirit stone was in danger, but he still decided to go.

I went to Lu Jiuyou to fight to the decisive battle because his subordinates had reached their limit.

"General, the Dark Night Guard came to report that Lu Jiuyou had set up many ambushers thirty miles south of Lingshi City, and was waiting for us to get on the trap." Deputy General Feng You reported that Long Tingfeihui.

"Tingfei, I know that Lu Jiuyou will have an ambush, but we must take the initiative to fight him. We can't afford it. Our dynasty is a place of four battles. In recent years, we have fought with Xijing, Chengdu and Jinling continuously. The court is a court.

I have been unable to make ends meet for a long time, and look at the morale of our army, it looks high and excited, but in fact it is already at the end of my strength." Feng You said helplessly.

Long Tingfei understood Feng You's distress. The so-called "Sanzhong Alliance" is actually a saying. Yu Zhang and Chen Jing cannot provide any substantial help, and they are not even able to restrain others.

"General, as long as Lu Jiuyou is nailed north of the spirit stone in this battle, he can achieve peace for at least three years!" Long Tingfei said confidently.

Feng You smiled bitterly and said, "I would rather not have such peace!"

What should come will always come. No surprises. God is fair to everyone. Thirty miles outside Lingshi City, there were five decent ambushes alone, and there were countless scattered harassment. Fortunately, Feng You

It's cruel enough, no matter how many ways he comes, I only went all the way, and in less than half a day I attacked the Lingshi City.

"Tingfei! Siege the city from all sides, never stop until death!" Feng You's order was firm and pale. It was not that Feng You didn't care about the soldiers' bodies, but that he could not stop, and he could not get up once he stopped.

Long Tingfei dragged his tired body to command the soldiers to fight. Lu Jiuyou on the city tower looked gloomy at the soldiers Chen Jing who were dying under the city. He never expected that Feng You, who was rushing to the long distance, did not care about the soldiers.

life.

"Send the order! Open the city gate! Decisive battle!" Lu Jiuyou could not bear being ignored like this, let alone Feng You, who was defeated and passed on to the world.

The rush lasted from afternoon to evening, and all the troops from both sides were put in. Even Feng You and Lu Jiuyou took the field with swords. Lu Jiuyou was injured in two arrows on his left arm, and he simply bandaged and re-entered the battlefield.

You were chopped on his right thigh, but he just wrapped his bloody battle robe and continued to fight.

When the sunset disappeared, both sides reached their limits. The final outcome was not unexpected. Feng You was defeated again, and the soldiers who committed the battle lost nearly 40%, but Lu Jiuyou also had no ability to pursue him. The loss exceeded 30%, so he could only keep his eyes open.

Watching Feng You retreated to the south.

The result of this battle was that Youdu used Lu Jiuyou to stay in Taiyuan, restore his troops, and fight again at a later date. Luo Chen sent someone to take Feng You to Luo Chen for trial, allowing Feng You deputy general Long Tingfei to take charge of Huozhou and serve as the general of southern Jin.

, this was Quan Zheng's choice in helplessness, but Quan Zheng has always been glad for his unintentional action in the next ten years, because Long Tingfei's existence will become a nightmare in Youdu.

Xiao Yu in the Jinling Palace has read Xiao Han's letters more than ten times in a row. Changing the methods of recruiting scholars and imitating Chengdu is too aggressive, but he has to admit that the methods of recruiting scholars in the Western Prefecture have achieved results, such as Shenzhou

Zhou Ce from the four towns, Deng Ang who is in Jingshan and Tan Ji from Guangshui, although his military use is a little immature, the effect is already very obvious. After Yu Qingwu's victory, he relied on these three young people to win back a city.

, only if you need to go through another war, these three people will have the strength to fight Yu Qingwu. The key to the problem is that the two hospitals in Chengdu will continuously supply such similar talents, and what about them?

After Qingwu, Xiao Han can, but what about Xiao Han? I don’t know who can guard it.

"Your Majesty, are you still thinking about the letter from Prince Anqing?" Xiahou Ying appeared behind Xiao Yu for some time, and put his hand on Xiao Yu's shoulder to relax his fatigue.

"Empress, Xiao Han hopes that I will also set up two courtyards in Jinling. I want to do this, but I dare not." Xiao Yu felt helpless.

"Your Majesty, you can't hurry up. Although the influence of the aristocratic family is no longer as glorious as before in my Daning Dynasty, the lean camel is bigger than a horse." Suddenly, Xiahou Ying paused for a moment, and even stopped the kung fu in his hand.

He said, "I have a way. I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to listen?"

"Oh? Please tell me, Queen." Xiao Yu was not surprised. He had always endured Xiahou Ying's intentional or unintentional interference in politics, wanting to wait for the right time to break out again.

"Your Majesty, the practices of the two academies in Chengdu are too radical and are not suitable for the reality of our Daning Dynasty, but we must do it. Back then, you established so many academies in Jinling and various places. Isn't it just to avoid the participation of the aristocratic families?

We allow them to participate, but to take the exam, all officials must pass the exam before they can get on board.” Xiahou Ying said confidently.

Xiao Yu was silent, not because he was dissatisfied, but because he was scared. Xiahou Ying was deeply thinking, he knew that this method was no less than that of the prime minister's style.

Xiahou Ying thought Xiao Yu was thinking, so she continued to pinch his shoulders. After a cup of tea, Xiao Yu turned around and patted Xiahou Ying's hand and said, "Empress, since you want to take the exam, you need a set of rules. The CET-4 will take the exam.

, county, prefecture, prefecture, state."

Xiahou Ying turned around and walked to the steps, saluted respectfully to Xiao Yu and said: "Your Majesty is wise, and the unification of the Central Plains of Daning is just around the corner!"

Xiao Yu enjoyed such flattery and signaled Xiahou Ying to stand up and said, "The fourth-level examination will be added to the examination institute, and I will be directly responsible to me, and I will not be restrained by any department. If the children of aristocratic families want to be promoted, they can only be with the scholars except Yin Feng.

I will pass the exam and get into the post as well. Let them know that the official in my Daning Dynasty is not that easy to be!”

This time it was Xiahou Ying's turn to be surprised. Doing so basically cut off the recommended routes by the aristocratic family. In addition to the royal children who were qualified to be Yinfeng, only the three generals guarding outside had Yinfeng's position.
