Xueying and Hongjian looked at each other, both of them were very dissatisfied with the result.
No matter how domineering Nanny Feng is, she is just a servant. How could she have the courage to frame a noble man? There must be someone else behind Nanny Feng's back.
Xueying whispered: "Your Majesty, I think there is a real murderer behind Aunt Feng!"
Liu Xiu looked at Xueying and asked, "Oh? What clues have you got?"
Xueying shook her head and said, "I'm just guessing."
Yin Lihua frowned and said, "Xueying, don't talk nonsense!"
There is no basis or evidence to say that there is another real culprit behind Nanny Feng. Who are you talking about? There is no one else except Guo Shengtong. She looked at Liu Xiu and asked: "Your Majesty, is Luo You still alive in Yeting Prison?"
good?"
Hua Feiyan answered: "Master Yin, please rest assured that Feiyan has not tortured Luo You. Feiyan plans to..."
Before she could finish her words, Yin Lihua interrupted: "Your Majesty, I want to transfer Luo You to the West Palace. Please give me your permission!"
Hua Feiyan frowned secretly. This time Luo You saved Yin Lihua. Yin Lihua was grateful to her and wanted to take her to the West Palace, which was understandable.
However, there are many doubts about Luo You and his origins are unknown. It is really a hidden danger to leave such a person in the West Palace.
She said: "Your Majesty Yin, Luo You is a dancing girl at Huafang. It might not be appropriate to transfer her to the West Palace."
Xueying glanced at Hua Feiyan and murmured in a low voice: "Hua Meiren thinks that Luo You can go to Changqiu Palace, but not to West Palace?"
This time, Hua Feiyan brought the investigation to Nanny Feng and stopped abruptly. This made Xueying prejudiced against her, thinking that she was deliberately shielding Guo Shengtong.
Now that the noble man wants Luo You, Hua Feiyan stands up to stop him again, which makes Xueying even more prejudiced against her.
Yin Lihua glared at Xueying dissatisfiedly, indicating that she was too presumptuous and how could she talk to Hua Feiyan like this.
She smiled apologetically at Hua Feiyan and said, "Xueying speaks freely. I am too arrogant and indulgent to her. Please don't mind, Beauty Hua."
Hua Feiyan smiled and said, "Yin Guiren, you are serious."
Liu Xiu thought for a while, nodded, and said: "Luo You has made great achievements this time, and Lihua wants to transfer her to the West Palace, so let's do it according to Lihua's wishes!"
Yin Lihua's face showed joy, she saluted Liu Xiufu and said, "I thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Xiu smiled, picked up Yin Lihua, held her hand, and walked towards the main hall.
Hua Feiyan said: "Your Majesty, Feiyan is resigning."
Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Go!"
This time the turmoil came to an end. After the turmoil, Wei Xun changed from Hu Qi Xiaowei to a chamberlain in the palace, that is, a eunuch. In addition, Guo Shengtong's confidant, Grandma Feng, who controlled the real power in Changqiu Palace
, committed suicide out of fear of sin.
It can be said that this turmoil caused heavy losses to both Guo Shengtong and Wei Xun.
Guo Shengtong lost one of his right-hand men, Nanny Feng, which also aroused Liu Xiu's dissatisfaction and anger towards her. As for Wei Xun, the loss was even greater. From then on, he lost the capital to be a man again.
If anyone has made a profit, perhaps it is only Chen Zhi. Although Chen Zhi and Aunt Feng are both Guo Shengtong's right-hand men, after all, Aunt Feng has been following Guo Shengtong for a long time, and the person who serves Guo Shengtong most often has always been Feng.
Grandma.
Now that Aunt Feng is dead, Chen Zhi quickly took Aunt Feng's place and became the most trusted and important person around Guo Shengtong.
Yin Lihua also gained something, and there was another maid beside her, Luo You.
Luo You moved from the Changqiu Palace to the West Palace, and he was completely out of the sea of suffering. Everyone in the West Palace knew that Luo You saved Yin Guiren's life, and they all treated her with great respect. Luo You, who was in the highest position in the Changqiu Palace
The little palace maid, who was at the bottom and had been bullied all the time, suddenly became a celebrity in the West Palace.
After being raised in Xigong for less than half a month, Luo You's body has gained weight, and the swelling on her face has disappeared. Her whole person looks radiant and radiant. Even if she walks with Yin Lihua, her radiance will not fade away.
Completely covered up.
The harem returned to its former peace, and Liu Xiu's energy was transferred to the government affairs of the court. Currently, the Eastern Expedition Army headed by Gai Yan was launching the Battle of Lanling with Dong Xuan's army.
After Liu Yong's death, Liu Yu succeeded to the throne, but Liu Yu did not inherit the throne, but the self-proclaimed King of Liang. Su Mao and Zhou Jian, two of Liu Yong's most trusted generals, are now loyal to Liu Yu.
With the assistance of Su Mao and Zhou Jian, Liu Yu retreated to Chuihuiju. Liu Xiu sent captured general Ma Wu and Duqiwei Wang Ba to lead an army to attack Chuihuiju.
Su Mao and Zhou Jian led their armies to fight, and the two sides launched a decisive battle to the west of Chui Hui Ju.
In this battle, the two living treasures Ma Wu and Wang Ba performed bravely and defeated the army led by Su Mao and Zhou Jian in one fell swoop.
Su Mao and Zhou Jian took Liu Yu and fled out of Chui Huiju in a hurry, fleeing all the way east to the west defense where Jiaoqiang was stationed. However, as soon as they arrived at the west defense, they caught up with the hussar general Du Mao and attacked.
Liu Yu's army was defeated again, abandoned its western defense, continued to flee eastward, and then ran to Xiapi to seek refuge from Dong Xian.
Gai Yan led the main force of the Eastern Expedition Army and pushed all the way eastward to pursue Liu Yu. Dong Xian, after weighing the pros and cons, ordered his army to fight the Han army in an attempt to block the Han army's eastward advance.
The two sides fought a decisive battle outside Yuliu County. This battle was the first confrontation between the Han army and Dong Xian's forces. Gai Yan, a veteran general who had been on the battlefield for a long time, once again displayed his superb command skills on the battlefield and commanded the Han army to a great defeat.
Dong Xianjun.
Before this battle started, many people had illusions, thinking that Dong Xian and Zhang Bu were strong enough to compete with Luoyang.
But after this battle, many people's illusions were shattered, including Dong Xian's general Ben Xiu.
Ben Xiu did not participate in the battle of Liu County. He was ordered to station in Lanling to consolidate the defense of Lanling City. Dong Xian's army failed in the battle of Liu County, which made Ben Xiu feel that Dong Xian was defeated. If he continued to follow Dong Xian, in the end, he would only
A dead end.
After much thought and weighing, Ben Xiu finally made a shocking decision and surrendered the entire city to the Han army.
You must know that Ben Xiu was Dong Xian's confidant general, with tens of thousands of troops under his command, and the Lanling City where Ben Xiu was stationed was a strategic location. Ben Xiu's sudden surrender of the city was tantamount to a heavy blow to Dong Xian's power.
one strike.
When Dong Xian learned about this, he became furious and went to battle in person. He assembled almost all his troops, totaling more than 200,000 troops, and besieged Lanling City, hoping to put Ben Xiu to death. Gai Yan led 100,000 Han soldiers
The army rushes to rescue Lanling.
At this point, the Battle of Lanling officially began.
The situation of the Battle of Lanling was that inside Lanling City, there were tens of thousands of surrendered troops led by Ben Xiu, and outside Lanling City, there were more than 200,000 Dong Xian's Army led by Dong Xian, surrounding Lanling City. Under Dong Xian's Army
Outside, there were Han troops led by Gai Yan.
Gai Yan wrote a detailed report of the battle here in Lanling City into a memorial and submitted it to Liu Xiu.
After Liu Xiu received Gai Yan's memorial, he immediately summoned Deng Yu and Jia Fu. In terms of governing the country, Liu Xiu would reuse the small court he had established, but in terms of military affairs, Liu Xiu still valued his old brothers very much.
Waiting for Deng Yu, Jia Fu read Gai Yan's memorial and Liu Xiu said: "Right now, Ju Qing only has 100,000 troops, while Dong Xuan has more than 200,000 troops."
Deng Yu frowned and said, "Benxiu has surrendered to our army. Our army has to save Benxiu from the siege!"
Jia Fu also nodded repeatedly, saying that Ben Xiu must save him, but the problem is that now Dong Xian has a large number of people and his own troops are insufficient. If he fights Dong Xian forcefully, it will be difficult to gain any advantage.
Deng Yu rolled his eyes, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he said: "Your Majesty, Tan County is the county seat of the East China Sea, and it is also the hometown of Dong Xian. Ju Qing is using a weak force to defeat Dong Xian outside Lanling City.
Dong Xian's main force was not a wise move. Why not surround Wei and rescue Zhao? He gave up rescuing Lanling and instead attacked Tan County. Tan County was in danger. Dong Xian would definitely give up attacking Lanling and could only lead his army to rescue. In this way,
The danger of Lanling will be solved by itself."
After listening to Deng Yu's analysis, Liu Xiu's eyes lit up and his face looked happy. He turned to Jia Fu and asked, "Jun Wen, what do you mean?"
Jia Fu laughed and said: "Zhonghua's clever plan is to encircle Wei and save Zhao. Now, Dong Xian leads his army and rushes out. Tan County will definitely be empty. Ju Qing will take advantage of the opportunity and move in. If Dong Xian doesn't come back to save him, Ju Qing can attack directly."
Huang Long, if Dong Xian leads his army to rescue, the danger of Lanling will be solved. This plan is sound and we will win without losing!"
After Liu Xiu heard this, he looked up and laughed, stroking his palms and said: "Surround Wei and save Zhao! What a great plan! What a great plan!"
Jia Fu added: "Your Majesty, I think that while attacking Dong Xian, we should also send troops to Zhang Bu. In this way, Zhang Bu can be firmly restrained and Zhang Bu and Dong Xian will not be allowed to join forces."
Deng Yu agreed: "Jun Wen's words are reasonable. If Zhang Bu and Dong Xian are allowed to join forces, it will be very detrimental to us."
Liu Xiu rubbed his chin, thought about it seriously, and asked: "Who do you think is the safest person to send troops to make a move?"
Deng Yu thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the Grand Sima once mentioned to the ministers that Chen Jun can defeat Taishan County (Taishan County)."
Chen Jun was also a general under Liu Xiu with outstanding military exploits. He was recommended by Liu Jia and followed Liu Xiu. He followed Liu Xiu in the north and south of Hebei, laying the foundation for Liu Xiu in Hebei and making great contributions.
It's just that there are too many generals under Liu Xiu, such as Wu Han, Deng Yu, Jia Fu, Cen Peng, Geng Yan, Gai Yan, Feng Yi, Yao Qi, Ma Wu, etc. They can really be called bright generals.
Many capable generals have their light overshadowed by them.
Hearing that Wu Han recommended Chen Jun, Liu Xiu nodded thoughtfully and said, "Zizhao (Chen Jun, also known as Zizhao) is indeed qualified for the job!"
After Liu Xiu discussed with Deng Yu and Jia Fu, he issued edicts to Gai Yan and Chen Jun respectively. The edict to Gai Yan told him to adopt the tactic of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao, and to take advantage of the emptiness in Dong Xian's rear to give up rescuing Lanling.
Send troops directly to Tan County.
In the edict to Chen Jun, Liu Xiu appointed Chen Jun as the prefect of Taishan County, leading an army of 50,000 to carry out general military operations and attack Zhang Bu's forces in Taishan County. In the edict, Liu Xiu also specifically mentioned that Taishan County
Chen Jun can directly appoint officials in various counties in Shanjun.
Let's talk about Gai Yan. After receiving Liu Xiu's edict, he immediately summoned the generals for discussion.
The Han army camp, the central tent. When all the generals arrived, Gai Yan read the imperial edict in public. When Gai Yan finished reading, the generals looked at each other, and no one spoke immediately.
Talking on paper is talking on paper, and actual combat is actual combat. The two cannot be compared.
Liu Xiu, Deng Yu, and Jia Fu had a good discussion in Luoyang and used the tactics of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao to relieve the siege of Lanling. However, it is not so easy to implement it in actual combat.
Sending troops to attack Tan County is equivalent to going deep into the country alone. It requires one hundred thousand soldiers of our own army to drive straight into the hinterland of Dong Xian's power with a single army.
If everything goes well, there is certainly no problem with this tactic, but the question is, will everything really go well? Will there really be no resistance at all? Once one's own attack is blocked, it will be extremely difficult to withdraw.
By then, one hundred thousand of our brothers will be trapped in the enemy's hinterland, with no way to the sky and no way to the earth. What's the explanation?
On the Luoyang side, it was easy to work out the tactics just by talking and talking, but on the Gaiyan side, they were the actual executors. Every move was related to the lives of 100,000 people. These are 100,000 people.
!
As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, Gai Yan needs to be responsible for the lives of every brother below. Gai Yan slowly put down Liu Xiu's edict and said quietly: "Surround Wei and save Zhao! What a great man to besiege Wei and save Zhao!"
