The capital of Yongchang County is called Yicheng.
The so-called profit and loss refers to the beginning of rise and fall, which shows that the people who originally named this city put a lot of thought into it.
Yongchang County is connected to Anling County in the northwest, and faces Nanyi in the southeast across mountains. The terrain is long and narrow. The southeastern half is full of mountains and rivers, while the northwest half is mostly plains. Yicheng is right in the middle, with no lack of mountains and rivers.
There is no shortage of fertile soil for farming, and it connects the north and south. It is undoubtedly the core city.
Located in the center of Yicheng is the Summer Palace, the residence of the prefect of Yongchang County.
The Summer Palace occupies a very large area, with towering city walls that completely separate the inside and outside of this place. It is a city within a city.
The first half of the summer palace has few palaces but all are open and grand, while the second half is just the opposite, with densely packed buildings and a slightly depressing feel.
On this day, a remote and quiet courtyard in the back section of the Summer Palace was heavily guarded. In the courtyard, two people were standing and sitting.
Sitting there was a majestic old man in a brocade hat and mink fur. He was tall and tall, holding a warm stove in his big hands, just like an ordinary person holding eggs. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyebrows were still naturally raised.
The vertical lines between the eyebrows are very deep, and it is obvious that they have become difficult to level off due to years of habit. "Where are Zian's troops?"
"We have passed Mianshui, and we should arrive at Yicheng in two days." The person who replied was the middle-aged man who was standing. He was wearing a blue scholar's robe, a high crown on his head, a clear face, and a long beard.
If it weren't for the curved waist at this moment, she would have a somewhat aristocratic temperament.
The majestic old man's smile became a little thicker, "This speed should be enough to receive the prefect's order without any delay. I am still satisfied with Zian's leadership."
"Yes, the report from our people is as you guessed. General Zian received the order from the prefect and immediately began to organize the army. At the same time, he quickly sent a message to the other two generals to adjust the defenses on the southern battlefield. The next day, he personally led the front army to go north," Zhong
The young scholar bowed with a smile and said, "General Zian's ability in running and leading the army is excellent. Now if we were to evaluate the top ten famous generals in the world, General Zian should be on the list."
The majestic old man's smile became even wider. He reached out and tapped the middle-aged scholar and said, "Zi'an has been leading troops for many years. I don't think it is easy to be praised so highly by you." He shook his head and said, "I just want to be among those ten
It is not easy to make the list of famous players. Compared with those people, he still lacks some glorious achievements."
The middle-aged scholar bent his waist a little deeper, "In today's world, as long as you follow the prefect with peace of mind, you will not be able to achieve a glorious victory."
The majestic old man did not comment, but gave the middle-aged scholar a sideways glance and asked about something else, "When you came to the palace this time, did Fanxing send something back?" "Exactly," the middle-aged scholar said from his arms.
He took out a slender copper tube and placed it on the stone table. Then he skillfully checked the sealing wax in front of the old man, opened the copper tube, took out the note and handed it to the majestic old man, "I just received the secret letter today. The seal on it is
I had half a hair, and my subordinate sent it over without any delay."
The majestic old man reached for the note and unfolded it. After reading it carefully for a while, he handed the note to the middle-aged scholar beside him, "What do you think?"
The middle-aged scholar took the note and scanned it quickly, then pondered for a moment. While carefully observing the majestic old man's expression, he considered the words and said, "I have already reported to you the assassination process of Mr. Yun. According to the situation at that time,
The assassin should not be from Nanyi, nor is he someone close to the proton who returned home, but this time the proton went south and returned to Licheng safely, and there seemed to be the shadow of Guangjun Yun Bailou behind him..."
The majestic old man nodded, "The Yun family of Guang County naturally wishes for a fight between Yongchang County and Li County."
The middle-aged scholar rolled his eyes and responded, "The governor is right. If the assassin sent by Yun Bailou succeeds, the returning proton will be Luo Tianen's only choice to inherit the position of governor.
His son, not to mention whether he has the ability to support such a big Li County, I, Yongchang County, will be the first to find it difficult to tolerate him. No matter whether Yongchang County and Li County will fight or not, it will no longer be the case.
In a friendly situation, Guang County is always the one who gets the benefit," he continued after taking a look at the majestic old man's expression. "It's just that God is not as good as man. This time, Mr. Yun is protected by God and is safe. His subordinates have also written back to reprimand him.
After Qishui's dereliction of duty, I'm afraid I won't be able to have any thoughts on Mr. Yun anymore."
"Yun'er's safety is the top priority among all matters at the moment, and the second is the friendship with the generals on the battlefields in Lijun. I always feel that Luo Tianen's big move to exchange the northern and southern armies is aimed at our Yongchang County.
What do you mean...did he guess something?" The smile on the majestic old man's face disappeared completely, and it looked like he was bursting with anger.
"Impossible," the middle-aged scholar said resolutely, "This incident has been planned by my subordinates for a long time. It is composed of multiple random events connected in series. It is a magical situation that is difficult for anyone to trace back. At most, he can doubt it, but
There is absolutely no way to tell.”
The majestic old man nodded, thought for a moment and then said slowly, "Luo Tianen mobilized two elite troops to go north to Ganyuan and Shangyuan, facing the northern part of Yongchang County, so I also mobilized Zian's army to go north, with a slightly defensive posture.
The posture is reasonable," he paused and pondered for a while before continuing, "When Yun'er successfully ascends the throne and three elite and powerful armies come out together, the small Anling County..."
The middle-aged scholar lowered his head as if he hadn't heard anything. The majestic old man suddenly asked again, "I heard that Fanxing sent things to both the southern and western battlefields of Li County, but the new Gan Yuan and Ue Yuan army generals were left out?
"
"Yes," the middle-aged scholar said after saluting, "according to Qishui's return, what the young lady means is that the uncle and nephew of the Zhao family have a close relationship with the Luo family, and they have become estranged from each other after giving them gifts."
"Humph," the majestic old man snorted angrily, "Then why did Lu Dongfeng in the southern battlefield send the biggest share?" He stood up and walked around the small courtyard with his hands behind his back, and stopped abruptly after a while.
Next, "When Yun'er successfully ascends the throne...let Qishui bring the stars back."
The middle-aged scholar was startled, but he only responded. After a while, he spotted an old man's anger and asked in a low voice, "Can you slow down for a while, or ask the lady first..."
..What does Mr. He Yun mean?"
The majestic old man glanced at the middle-aged scholar, who was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head. He turned around and walked back and forth in the courtyard for two more times before saying, "My daughter has not been an obedient person since she was a child. She always has to tinker with things.
It's a little silly, but this time the matter is too important to allow her to act according to her temper. I will naturally send capable people to assist Yun'er when he first ascends to the throne. With my grandfather here, I still worry about him not being able to sit firmly and leave.
The position of county magistrate? You can’t be a child who can’t live without his mother.”
The middle-aged scholar was busy praising the prefect for his wisdom.
The majestic old man suddenly spoke again, with a slow and cold tone, "I heard... Fanxing also sent people to Cangyan?"
"Yes," the middle-aged scholar said quickly, "I want to make the proton feel uncomfortable."
"But how did I hear that... the people sent out will go over the mountains to reach the Western Yi?" The majestic old man's voice was slow and low, with a full sense of oppression.
The middle-aged scholar hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "I don't know!"
The majestic old man was silent for a long time, and waited until the atmosphere in the courtyard dropped to freezing point before speaking again, "You should know," he slowly walked up to the middle-aged scholar and looked down at his back and said, "Remember, the stars can make stars shine.
Go crazy, your people, the people of Qishui, can't!"
"Yes!" The middle-aged scholar made a loud noise.
"Get up," the majestic old man sat down again, "The letter from the stars said that they want me to move the nail in the south of Anyang County. This is a good idea. Yun'er is about to ascend the throne, and we want to move there again, so we have to
Find something for the Nanyi dogs to do, and you can arrange it."
"Yes!" the middle-aged scholar responded. Seeing that the majestic old man stopped talking, he stood up and walked backwards out of the small courtyard.
When the small courtyard returned to silence, the majestic old man threw the heater in his hand on the stone table and snorted coldly.
