The 231st chapter is ready to take Liu Qi to operate
Although Ma Yunlu is a female general, she also knows how to weigh the pros and cons. She only thought about it for a moment before decisively agreeing.
"This Xiliang woman is quite a happy person..."
Yan Liang then asked to get the pen and paper, but Ma Yunlu was not hesitant and immediately wrote a letter.
After writing, she handed the silk to Yan Liang, "Take a look at it. If it doesn't work, I'll write another letter."
Ma Yunlu was afraid that Yan Liang would suspect that she had written something she shouldn't have written in the letter.
Yan Liang naturally wanted to check this letter, but why did he do it at this time?
At that moment, he put the letter away without looking at it, "Miss Ma has already agreed, so there is no reason to regret it. I will believe you."
After talking about the business, Yan Liang said again: "Now that the alliance has not been completed, I am afraid that I will have to wrong Miss Ma to stay here for a few more days. If you need anything, just ask."
Hearing Yan Liang's concern, Ma Yunlu only smiled and said nothing. The previous grudges seemed to disappear in the blink of an eye.
"General Yan, I heard that you defeated Yuan Tan, Liu Qi, and the three armies from Jiangdong who were besieging you. I wonder if this is the case?"
Ma Yunlu suddenly remembered something and asked curiously.
Yan Liang once ordered the guards not to reveal information about Guanlong to her. As for other information, the guards could not withstand her questioning and would occasionally disclose some information.
The Lord defeated three enemy armies and expanded the territory. Such glorious things, those who were subordinates would naturally show off proudly to the captive Ma Yunlu.
In his heart, Ma Yunlu didn't believe that Yan Liang had such ability, so he was always suspicious. It was rare to see Yan Liang today, so he couldn't help but ask.
"The soldiers and horses in Soochow are still a bit tricky, but these Xiaoxiao guys who take advantage of others' danger are not capable of defeating me, Yan Liang."
Yan Liang did not show off his false humility and admitted it bluntly, his words filled with arrogance that defied all enemies.
After hearing Yan Liang's personal admission, Ma Yunlu believed that the rumors were true. At this moment, a hint of surprise could not help but appear in her watery eyes.
"This Yan Liang first defeated our powerful Xiliang Army, and now he has defeated three powerful enemies. This man's strength is really unpredictable. What kind of person is he..."
While Ma Yunlu was speculating in his mind, his brows secretly showed some respect for Yan Liang.
"Miss Ma, I still have military duties to attend to, so I won't disturb your rest. I'll take my leave."
Yan Liang was thinking about business, and he didn't bother a female classmate to talk too much, so he immediately got up and wanted to leave.
When Ma Yunlu woke up from her thoughts, Yan Liang had already arrived at the door, and she didn't have time to think too much. She hurriedly shouted: "General Yan, please wait!"
Yan Liang stopped and turned to look at Ma Yunlu, "Why, is there anything else Miss Ma can do?"
"This... I want to ask the general... can you go back... go back..." Ma Yunlu hesitated, hesitating to speak. It seemed that he was embarrassed to say what he wanted to say.
Yan Liang said casually: "If Miss Ma has any needs, just ask and I will let them take care of it."
Ma Yunlu hesitated for a moment, then Beiqia gritted his teeth secretly, "I don't need anything, I just want the general to come and sit here more often in the future."
When these words came out of his mouth, Ma Yunlu's face was filled with clouds.
This is interesting...
"Miss Ma wants to see Yan so much. What's the purpose?" Yan Liang asked pretending to be curious.
Ma Yunlu's face turned red again, but he tried his best to remain calm, "Don't get me wrong, General Yan. I'm just bored by being under house arrest by you. I would like to invite General Yan to come and compete in martial arts and discuss the use of troops."
"I see." Yan Liang smiled, "I have many good generals under my command. If Miss Ma is interested, I can send them here."
There was a bit of disdain on Ma Yunlu's face, and he said proudly: "How can I, Ma Yunlu, look down on those other idiots?"
Yan Liang has an insight into people's hearts and has already sensed her thoughts, and he secretly smiles in his heart.
I was in a good mood today, so I said happily: "Since Miss Ma thinks so highly of Yan, I will come and discuss with Miss Ma when I have free time."
"Thank you so much, General Yan." Ma Yunlu cupped his hands and said.
Yan Liang said no more, turned around and walked away.
The door was closed again, and she was left alone in the large hall again.
Ma Yunlu breathed a sigh of relief and sat down softly.
But for some reason, in her mind, she couldn't help but recall the embarrassing scene in the inner room just now, and she felt hot flashes all over her body.
The red lips parted slightly, and a shy smile quietly passed through her.
After receiving the letter from Ma Yunlu, Yan Liang sent Yi Ji out that day to Xiliang to persuade Ma Teng and Han Sui to persuade them to stop their troops and join forces to deal with Cao Cao.
As for Yuan Tan, Xun Chen returned not long after he returned to Xudu and brought back Yuan Tan's reply.
Just as Yan Liang and his advisers had guessed, Yuan Shao was most likely to die soon. In order to deal with his younger brother Yuan Shang with all his strength, Yuan Tan was willing to make a major concession and ceded Ye County to Yan Liang.
After conquering Ye County without any bloodshed, Yan Liang's cavalry used it as a springboard to reach Xudu City in a day's march. This was a very cost-effective deal.
Yan Liangdang sent Liu Pi to lead a thousand troops to station in Ye County and take over the local defense.
With the benefits in hand, Yan Liang immediately expressed to Xun Chen that he would be happy to clear up the past grudges with Yuan Tan, and that each would guard its borders and not interfere with each other.
In order to show his sincerity, Yan Liang also deliberately reduced Nanyang's troops to five thousand, so that Yuan Tan could boldly fight with his younger brother.
Yan Liang also used this excuse as a cover to concentrate his troops on Xiangyang in preparation for the next attack on Jiangling.
According to the information sent back by Xu You, Liu Qi in Jiangling was having a very difficult time.
In the previous defeat at Xiangyang, Liu Qi lost almost half of his infantry. Now, including Huang Zu's navy, the total number of troops and horses does not exceed 25,000.
In order to expand his troops, Liu Qi had to order soldiers and horses to be recruited from the four counties of Jingnan to strengthen Jiangling's defense.
However, what annoyed Liu Qi was that the county guards of the four counties in Jingnan mostly acted in secret and used various excuses to delay. In the end, the four counties combined only had less than 4,000 old and weak soldiers to deal with the dispatch of errands.
to Gangneung.
It's no wonder that the loyalty of the four counties in Jingnan to his old Liu family was not high in the first place. The previous time Liu Qi attacked Jiangling with great momentum, the governors of all the counties were afraid of his power, so they expressed their allegiance one after another.
Now that Xiangyang was defeated, Liu Qi's strength and prestige were greatly damaged. Naturally, the lowly people in the four counties of Jingnan began to look down upon him and began not to take Liu Qi, the Jingzhou shepherd, seriously.
Liu Qi's difficulties, Yuan Tan's sue for peace, and all the situations were becoming more and more favorable to Yan Liang. He began to plan a southern expedition with his advisers, and finally decided on a strategy. He would only wait until the spring plowing this year before launching a large-scale attack on Jiangling.
In order to completely eliminate foreign troubles, Yan Liang sent Ma Liang as an envoy to Soochow to express his friendly intentions to Sun Quan before sending troops.
Although in Xiakou in the previous episode, Yan Liang planned to severely hit Soochow in the face and shot Wu army commander Zhou Yu, the Wu people did not suffer any substantial losses other than a blow to their morale.
At this time, Sun Quan was fully capable of quelling the rebellion in Shanyue while dividing his troops to pose a threat to Jiangxia.
Yan Liang sent Ma Liang as envoy to Soochow. Naturally, he was not asking for peace in a low voice, but using the attitude of a victor to show Sun Quan that Yan Liang would not be violated. He hoped that the two families could live in harmony. If you, Sun Quan, insist on fighting each other,
I, Yan Liang, am not afraid of you either.
At this time, Sun Quan was troubled by Shanyue's rebellion, and because Zhou Yu was injured and recovering from illness, he could no longer command the army in a short period of time. Under all the unfavorable circumstances, this blue-eyed man was very knowledgeable and received him politely.
Ma Liang and expressed his willingness to repair.
In addition to sending Ma Liang to negotiate peace with Sun Quan, Yan Liang also sent someone to Chaisang to give a gift to a person in private.
Chaisang City, Zhou Mansion.
The heavenly sound of the piano echoed in the sky above the courtyard, like wisps of resentment and admiration. The birds on the branches couldn't bear to leave, and gradually became a little drunk.
In the bamboo hall, sandalwood was lingering, and Zhou Yu was playing the strings of the piano, playing a beautiful sound.
In front of the hall, the woman in white was dancing with her sleeves and making shadows, holding a sword in her hand and dancing with the music of the piano.
The woman looked like a fairy, her figure was slender but plump, and she was as beautiful as if carved from jade. When she raised her hands and looked down, she exuded a breathtaking beauty.
That stunning beauty is none other than Xiao Qiao, who is known as one of the two beauties of Soochow.
Zhou Yu had a smile in his eyes, playing the piano while admiring his wife's dancing. His originally pale face gradually began to glow with some brilliance.
Just when he was hitting the sweet spot, Zhou Yu suddenly felt a pain on his shoulder, and his fingers on the piano stopped involuntarily.
The sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and Xiao Qiao also stopped dancing. He turned around and looked around, but was shocked to see his husband covering his shoulders with an ugly expression.
"Husband~~"
Xiao Qiao's face changed, and she rushed over. With a worried look on her face, she said softly: "Husband, are you injured again? I'll call the doctor right now."
But Zhou Yu forced a smile, waved her hands and said, "It's just a slight pain. It's nothing serious. Madam, don't worry."
Xiao Qiao knew that her husband was stubborn, so she had no choice but to offer him tea and water to comfort him.
After a long moment of pain, Yan Liang relaxed his frown and let out a long breath.
Seeing her husband's pain pass, Xiao Qiao's tense mood relaxed.
She looked at Zhou Yu's pale face, felt sorry for him, and gritted her teeth and complained: "This good-looking man has hurt my husband like this. It is really hateful. If he falls into my hands, I will definitely stab him with a sword."
Kill him."
Hearing his sweet wife's "murderous" words, Zhou Yu couldn't help but be amused, and his expression softened a lot.
At this moment, an old servant came with a wooden box and said, "Master, someone just sent a box, claiming to be a gift for the madam."
Gift?
Xiao Qiao glanced at her husband, with a hint of doubt in her pretty face. (You are welcome, your support is my biggest motivation.)
