Chapter 262 Stalemate (Part 2)

After talking for a while, Yun Qing remembered the business and didn't say: "Yuxi, I just got the news from the capital that my elder brother has been appointed by the emperor as Minister of the Ministry of War." The Ministry of War has close contact with them. The eldest brother-in-law has been appointed Minister of the Ministry of War, not to mention other things, there will definitely be a lot less trouble.

When Yu Xi heard the news, she didn't show a smile on her face, but instead asked: "When was the eldest brother appointed as Minister of the Ministry of War?" Yucheng's news channel lagged behind, and under Yu Xi's strong suggestion, it has now improved. But only in the Northwest.

Yun Qing said: "In the middle of last month, count it, it's been a month."

Yu Xi frowned, and said, "It's such a big deal to be promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War, but the elder brother didn't get any news. It's not quite right!"

Yun Qing didn't think too much about it, and said, "I think it's not that the message was not sent, I'm afraid the person who sent the message blocked it!" Now that there is a war in Nancheng, the road is basically impassable, and there are also bandits in Taiyuan. It's not safe to come either way.

Yuxi just suspected, and had no evidence.

At this moment, Yunqing was a little worried, and said, "Yuxi, if you say that if we really do that, it will definitely hurt the mother-in-law and uncle?"

Yuxi had considered this issue long ago, and said, "Don't worry about this, elder brother is a flexible person, and he will handle this matter well in due course."

Yun Qing asked: "How to deal with it?"

Yuxi said her guess: "At that time, the eldest brother will definitely say that the married daughter will pour water, and they will not interfere with what I do at my husband's house. In order not to be implicated, I will definitely be expelled from the family , Sever ties with me!"

Expelling the family and severing ties are serious crimes. Looking at Yuxi, Yunqing's eyes showed a trace of guilt. If it wasn't for him, Yuxi wouldn't have to be forced to go this way.

Seeing this, Yu Xi hurriedly said: "It's just an expedient measure, and it's not a real severance of relationship; when we gain a firm foothold and the court has nothing to do with it, we can recover." She is now a member of the Yun family, even if Being expelled from the Han family has no effect on her.

Speaking of this, Yuxi was a little worried, and said: "I'm worried that my mother will not be able to bear it." Speaking of which, she is also unfilial, and always makes her worry about her. However, it was also forced by the situation, otherwise she would not be willing to take this road of no return.

It's true that Yun Qing wanted to send troops justifiably, but he also knew that this matter cannot be changed: "Mother-in-law will understand you."

Yuxi said: "I just hope that everything goes well, so that mother will not worry about it. Of the three brothers and sisters, I am the one who worries mother the most." This is true, Han Jianming has never let Qiu Shi worry about it of. When Han Jianye was only married, it gave her a headache for a while, and then it was too peaceful. Only Yuxi had accidents from time to time, which kept Qiu Shi worried.

Seeing that Yuxi's eyes were red, Yunqing patted her shoulder lightly, and said, "We will be filial to her from now on." Although I haven't seen them before, but looking at the people and things Qiu gave Yuxi, You know how much she loves Yu Xi. Therefore, Yunqing also respects Qiu Shi very much in his heart.

Yuxi nodded and said: "In the future, I must be filial to her old man."

After dinner, Yuxi paced around the yard to digest. It's already mid-November, and it's cold outside, so I dare not walk outside.

Zijin came over and said to her, "Ma'am, I just heard the news that that bitch Heshou died." Zijin hated Heshou, second only to Concubine Song and Princess Qinxin.

After Yuxi finished listening, she asked questions one after another: "Where did you get the news? When did it happen? How did you die?"

Zi Jin said, "I learned about it from Xu Wu. That bitch died a month ago. According to the information I got, he died of illness. How he died is still unclear."

After Yuxi finished listening, she frowned.

Seeing Yuxi's appearance, Zijin asked in puzzlement: "Madam, Heshou is our enemy, why are you unhappy when she dies?" She was very happy when she got the news!

Yuxi shook her head and said, "What's so happy about it?"

It has nothing to do with her. But Yuxi just thinks that this is too coincidental. He Shou died a month ago, and the elder brother also served as Minister of the Ministry of War a month ago. It's just that no matter how clever Yu Xi is, it's impossible for her to think that these two things will be involved.

Zijin was right when she thought about it, whether the woman died or not had nothing to do with them. Going over this topic at the moment, Zijin told Yuxi another matter: "Madam, Fu Tianlei's concubine lost her baby just yesterday." To rely on Xu Wu, you have to have your own source of news. You Fuji Restaurant is a ready-made good place to inquire about news, which saves a lot of trouble.

Yuxi snorted and said, "What time was yesterday?"

Zi Jin said: "My concubine conceived first, and Chen's conceived second. Fortunately, the concubine gave birth to a female fetus." If it was a boy, Old General Fu would probably be furious.

After hearing this, Yu Xi didn't express any opinion.

Zi Jin asked gossipingly: "Ma'am, could it be that Mrs. Chen lost the concubine's baby? Anyway, this is not the first time she has done such a thing."

Yuxi shook her head and said: "There is no basis, and I can't guess it." Even if it is a guess, it must be based on reasons, not nonsense.

Zijin said: "Ma'am, speaking of it, I still miss Fu Qingluo. With her here, Yucheng is much more lively." Without Fu Qingluo, there is another fun missing, the fun of watching the excitement.

Yu Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Don't worry, I'll see you one day." As long as nothing goes wrong, Fu Qingluo and his wife should come to her or Yun Qing.

At this time, Fu Qingluo had settled down in a remote village dozens of miles away from Maicheng. The village is close to the mountain, and there are more than ten families living there. This time Fu Qingluo has also learned to be good, but she dare not be as arrogant and domineering as before, but pretends to be a weak little woman who has separated from her husband. It's also because Fu Qingluo has traveled too much, and she is pregnant, her body is very weak, she can pretend to be weak, but she can't be normal.

After settling down, Fu Qingluo asked Qiushuang to inquire about the news. After all, she had left Nancheng for more than half a month, and she didn't know the situation there at all.

Qiu Shuang didn't come back until dark, and told Fu Qingluo the news she found out: "It's been three days since the fight, and both sides have suffered casualties." The outcome is still undecided.

After hearing this, Fu Qingluo asked: "How many soldiers and horses did Ji Xuan bring? Can we find out this clearly? If it is really a 100,000 army as mentioned before, then the situation of the rebel army is not good." They may be called rebels, so they call themselves rebels.

Qiu Shuang shook her head and said, "Some say it's 100,000, some say it's 200,000. I don't know how much." Now the news outside is in a mess, and I don't know which is true and which is false.

Qiu Yu said: "Girl, don't let Sister Qiushuang go to inquire about the news in the future. I'm worried that it will attract people's attention. Girl, the most important thing now is you and the child in your belly. As for the uncle, I believe that the uncle will be safe and sound." It's something." Qiu Yu is the maid who rejected Yu Xi before.

Qiu Shuang actually agrees with Qiu Yu's words: "Girl, Qiu Yu is right, you and the child are the most important things now."

Fu Qingluo nodded and said, "Don't go out to inquire about the news for the time being." In this troubled time, in order to avoid those ghosts and monsters, it's better to be careful.

Qiu Yu is a more realistic person, and said: "It's winter now, we need to prepare some supplies for the winter." First of all, we need to store enough food, followed by winter clothes and firewood. If there is no firewood in winter, they will freeze to death.

Fu Qingluo brought out some gold and silver. She handed it over to Qiu Yu, and said: "How to use it, you can figure it out!" She was pregnant, and her spirit was not very good at all. After driving for half a month, her body was a little weak, and she didn't have the energy to do these things again. up.

Qiu Yu took it over and said, "Girl, you can take care of your baby at ease. After the matter is over, my uncle will definitely come to pick you up."

In fact, the battle will be very tense. Ji Xuan came prepared this time, bringing the 60,000 troops with the best equipment and combat effectiveness. And this time, we will not advance rashly, and everything will be stable. After several fights, the rebel army fell into a disadvantage, retreating while fighting, and withdrew from Maicheng in less than ten days.

Peng Lianggong also calmed down at this time, he was no longer arrogant as before, and asked Yang Duoming: "Military teacher, what do you think should be done now?"

Yang Duoming thought for a while and said, "Stick to the south city." The battle line was very long, spanning four states and counties. The rebel army has a total strength of just over 50,000 troops, and now it has lost more than 10,000 troops. If you want to keep all the territory, it will definitely not work, so Yang Duoming means to keep Nancheng first. Moreover, Nancheng is close to the land of Shu, so if you really can't defend yourself, you can flee to the land of Shu.

Jun Yuanbo agreed with Yang Duoming's suggestion that not only the city of Nancheng was well built, but also the food reserves in the city were sufficient, enough to be used until after the beginning of spring.

Peng Lianggong was a bit reluctant to part with his current territory, but now Ji Xuan was coming so fiercely, they suffered another nearly 20,000 casualties, and only 30,000 remained. If you don't retreat, you won't be able to retreat even if you want to. Peng Lianggong nodded and said, "Okay, return to Nancheng."

The retreat plan was learned by Ji Xuan. At this time, the counter-insurgency army no longer fought steadily, but attacked violently. When Peng Lianggong pushed to the Nancheng area, more than 10,000 people were lost.

Regarding the changes before and after Ji Xuan, Yang Duoming clearly realized that there was Ji Xuan's internal support among the rebel army, and the status of this internal support was not low. If this person is not eliminated, Nancheng may not be able to hold on. It's just that it's not so easy to check the inside information. These people have been following Peng Lianggong all the time, which is incomparable to him who joined halfway.

Yang Duoming said to himself: "I only hope to last until then." Yang Duoming knew very well that Yun Qing and Mrs. Yun were waiting for the best time to send troops. It's just that he doesn't know when is the best time.
