The two then discussed the peace talks and analyzed Guan Long's possible attitude. Xiao Yu finally couldn't hold on anymore. His whole body became weak and his legs trembled. He reluctantly said: "That's it for today. I want to
Go back and recuperate, I can’t stand it anymore.”
He was worried and exhausted all the way. When he came back, he relied on a weapon in his heart to come to Cen Wenwen for theory. At this time, he felt like his whole body was shaking and his eyes were dizzy, and he really couldn't stand it anymore.
Seeing that his face was pale, Cen Wenwen did not dare to delay any longer. He quickly ordered someone to carry his sedan chair and send Xiao Yu back. He also notified the prince and asked the imperial doctor to come over for diagnosis and treatment.
After Xiao Yu left, Cen Wenwen sat in the duty room and asked the clerk to change a pot of tea. While sipping the tea, he thought about what Xiao Yu had just said.
Some of them are very reasonable, but some of them are too private.
If he completely obeyed Xiao Yu's words, he might have to make a wedding dress for him and destroy Liu Jie, whom he had finally recommended, in one fell swoop. This would be a huge loss for him.
How to find a balance in cooperating with Xiao Yu, that is, to support Xiao Yu and facilitate the peace talks, but also to ensure Liu Jie's status is really a very difficult matter. Even with his political wisdom, he felt very
For troublesome...

As Youtunwei raided the rebel camp outside Tonghua Gate, causing heavy casualties to the rebels, which greatly damaged their military morale. The rebels were furious, and the main combat faction headed by Changsun Wuji was determined to carry out large-scale revenge.
behavior to severely damage the morale of the East Palace.
The aristocratic armies gathered from various places in Guanzhong slowly gathered towards Chang'an under the mobilization of Guanlong. Some elites were transferred to Chang'an. The troops were gathered outside the Taiji Palace. Tens of thousands of people gathered in one place, just waiting for the order to start the war.
He vowed to raze the Tai Chi Palace to the ground and establish victory in one fell swoop.
In the north of Chang'an City, it was not easy for the Youtun Guards guarding Xuanwu Gate.
The clan troops slowly gathered towards Chang'an, and part of them began to approach Taiji Palace. The eastern front of Longshouyuan was eyeing Xuanwu Gate, while the western front sent troops to the far gate to threaten Yong'an Canal. While oppressing Xuanwu Gate, the troops pointed directly at Xuanwu Gate.
The Tubo Huqi who were stationed at Zhongwei Bridge today.
The rebels relied on their strong military advantage to impose unparalleled oppression on the East Palace.
In order to deal with the oppression from all directions by the powerful armies, Youtunwei had to make corresponding adjustments to deal with it. They could no longer station themselves in military camps as in the past. Otherwise, when the surrounding strategic locations were occupied by enemy forces, they would then use their superiority to
If the troops launch a fierce attack, the Youtun guards will focus on one thing and not the other, and it will be difficult to prevent the enemy from attacking Xuanwu Gate.
Although there are still thousands of "Beiya Forbidden Army" and thousands of "Hundred Cavalry" elites stationed at Xuanwu Gate, they must keep the enemy out of Xuanwu Gate unless they have to, so that Xuanwu Gate cannot be threatened in the slightest.
On the battlefield, the situation is changing rapidly. Once the enemy army breaks into the Xuanwu Gate, it is actually possible to break into the city. Fang Jun never dares to give the enemy such a chance...
Fortunately, both the Youtun Guards and the Anxi Army that accompanied Chang'an and the Tubo Huqi were the elite among the elite. The army was well-trained and full of morale. They maintained their morale under the strong oppression of the enemy.
Stable, able to carry out orders and prohibitions, deploy defenses everywhere to confront the rebels tit for tat, and never lose the slightest advantage.
Fang Jun rarely intervened in various military affairs. He was only responsible for outlining the contract, setting the direction, and then letting his subordinates do everything.
Fortunately, whether it is Gao Kan or Cheng Wuting, both of them rely on stability to win. Although they lack amazing commanding talents, they cannot strategize and win thousands of miles away like Li Jing, but they are solid.
, diligent and steady, the attack may not be enough, but the defense is more than enough.
The military dispatch was orderly, and Fang Jun was very relieved.
…
In the evening, Fang Jun took Gao Kan, Cheng Wuting, Wang Fangyi and others to inspect the camp for a week, and listened to the scouts' investigation results of the enemy. He made some targeted arrangements in the Chinese army's tent, then took off his armor and returned.
residence.
This camp is surrounded by tens of thousands of Youtun guards. It can be regarded as a "camp within a camp". There are soldiers guarding the gate of the camp. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. Behind it is the city wall of Anlimen, which is located in the west inner garden.
In the center, there are forests of trees, mountains, rocks and rivers all around. Although there are no green plants and red flowers at the beginning of spring, the environment is still peaceful.
When I returned to my residence, it was already time to turn on the lamp.
The continuous tents are brightly lit, and soldiers are constantly patrolling around. Although it rained lightly during the day, there are many tents in the camp, and valuable materials are placed everywhere. If the house is accidentally set on fire, the loss will be huge.
big.
When he returned to his residence, food and delicacies had been laid out in the tent. Several wives and concubines were sitting at the table. Fang Jun was surprised to find that Princess Changle was present...
Stepping forward to salute, Fang Jun said with a smile: "Why is Your Highness coming out? Why don't you see His Highness Jinyang?"
Generally speaking, every time Princess Changle came out of the palace, she couldn't resist Princess Jinyang's begging and had to come with her. At least that's what Princess Changle said... This time Princess Changle came here, but she didn't see Jinyang.
Princess Yang, which surprised her quite a bit.
Being stared at by Fang Jun's scorching gaze, she felt a little guilty, her white jade-like cheeks were slightly red. Princess Changle looked dignified and said reservedly: "It was Gao Yang who sent someone to pick me up. Si Zi originally wanted to follow, but the palace aunt
Grandma has been teaching her manners and etiquette these days and watching her day and night, so she is not allowed to come."
She had to explain it clearly, otherwise this guy might think that she just couldn't bear the loneliness in the palace and came to seek sex...
Fang Jun said with a smile: "That's right. Going out for a breather from time to time is good for your physical and mental health. Your Highness Jinyang won't have to carry that oil bottle out with you anymore."
The camp was shabby after all, and the little princess was unwilling to sleep alone in a simple tent. Every time the wind blew up in the middle of the night, the tent would make a huffing sound, which frightened her, so she had to insist on sleeping with Princess Changle every time she came.
It's very annoying...
Princess Zhong Lingyuxiu of Changle could tell what Fang Jun was thinking just by looking at her scorching eyes. She was a little shy and did not dare to look strange in front of Gao Yang, Wu Meiniang and others. She pursed her lips and said hum.
Gao Yang impatiently urged: "Why are you talking so much when you come back so late? Wash your hands and eat quickly!"
Jin Shengman stood up and went to wait on Fang Jun to clean his hands, then they went back to the dining table together and then started eating.
Fang Jun ate quickly, but he didn't finish the two bowls of rice. Several women had already put down their bowls and chopsticks, saluted him one after another, and then returned to the tent behind them chattering.
Princess Gao Yang said: "I haven't played mahjong for many days, and my hands are itchy!"
Wu Meiniang held Princess Changle's arm and said with a smile: "There are always three missing ones, and His Highness is very anxious. Your Highness Changle has finally come here today, so you have to understand everything!"
As he said that, he looked back at Fang Jun and blinked.
Fang Jun glared back angrily. Changle was staying in the palace. Due to etiquette, it was not easy to come out once. As a result, you, a lady, did not understand people's "long drought and no rain", but instead dragged them to play mahjong all night. Your conscience was greatly damaged...
…
Princess Gaoyang was very excited and pulled Jin Shengman, who sighed and said: "Who told my sister to know nothing about playing mahjong? Oh, it's really strange that such a smart person can't understand these hundreds and dozens of cards.
It’s incredible…”
The sound gradually faded away.
It seems like a casual sentence...
Fang Jun ate three bowls of rice by himself. After the maid took away the tableware and chopsticks, he sat by the window and drank half a pot of tea. He was enjoying himself and did not take the serious situation at heart.
After drinking tea, he asked his soldiers to get a suit of armor and put it on, and said to the maid in the tent: "If the princess asks you, just tell her that she is out patrolling the camp and she won't be able to come back in time. Just let her sleep first."
"Here."
The maid responded softly, then watched Fang Jun walk out of the tent and ride away with a group of soldiers.
…
Fang Junce rode around in the camp and came to a tent not far from his residence. This place was close to a creek. The ice and snow were melting and the stream was gurgling. It would be a good place to escape the summer heat if a building was built.
Arriving in front of the camp, Fang Jun dismounted and said to the soldiers: "Stay here."
"Here."
After receiving the order, some of the soldiers rode back to fetch the tents. The others dismounted, tied their horses to the trees, found a piece of flat land, rested briefly, and set up camp here later.
Fang Jun came to the door of the camp, where a group of guards were guarding him. When they saw Fang Jun, they all stepped forward to salute. The leader said, "Does the Duke of Yue want to see my Majesty? I will inform you later when the general comes in."
Fang Jun waved his hand and said, "No, the lights inside the tent are still on. I can just go in."
After saying this, he stepped forward and opened the tent door and entered.
The guards looked at each other, but did not dare to stop them. They all knew that there was an affair between their Queen and the most powerful Duke of Yue in the Tang Empire...
