Yanmenchun

Chapter 268

As soon as Feng Yuanan's words fell, the officials on the side jumped out and said loudly: "Mobei is an important place. If something happens, who will be responsible? Just rely on you, Feng Yuanan?!"

Before Feng Yuan'an could speak, Prince Gong's son said angrily, "The Marquis of Zhenbei didn't intervene, and I haven't seen anyone take back Yanmen Pass in the past eight years!"

Seeing that there was going to be another quarrel, the prince frowned a little irritably. In fact, he did not approve of Shen Tuchan intervening in the military affairs of Mobei, but now that Shen Tuchan has become Princess Yan, and Jiang Lan is also in Mobei, he somewhat put aside government affairs in his heart Get personal.

But in front of the emperor, he couldn't directly say that he supported Princess Yan to preside over the military affairs of Mobei.

Just when he was hesitating whether to speak again, the little eunuch outside came to report, Qin Shizi begged to see him.

Qin Wenyu has often stayed in the capital city in recent years, and the emperor gave him a small position, because the rank is too small, he does not have to go to court at all.

The emperor snorted and said, "Someone has come to disturb the water, let him in."

So Qin Wenyu, among the courtiers with solemn official uniforms, wearing a red gown with big sleeves and a purple gold crown on his head, swaggered into the Golden Luan Hall like a bridegroom official who was about to get married.

After he finished his salute, the emperor looked like he was watching the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal: "What are you doing here?"

Qin Wenyu bowed and said: "Your Majesty, on behalf of Ronghua County Prince's Mansion, I support Yichun County Lord to preside over the military affairs of Mobei."

The officials dared not speak out immediately, and the emperor smiled: "You? Do you know the military affairs of Mobei? Or do you know the princess of Yichun?"

Even the prince looked at Qin Wenyu, he never expected that Qin Wenyu would stand up.

Qin Wenyu said seriously: "Your Majesty, I don't understand, but I will analyze the facts. What was Mobei like before Shen Tulang's death, and what will happen after Shentulang's death? As a woman, Shen Tuchan was only one step away from becoming a Marquis. Your Majesty knows best." For the inside story, instead of raising the pot to stop the boiling, it is better to draw the fire from the bottom of the pot and give Yichun County Lord a try!"

The officials didn't know about the Marquis, but this couldn't stop them from resisting. They said angrily to Qin Wenyu: "The matter of the inner house is the matter of the inner house. If something goes wrong in the military and Mobei falls, who will be responsible for the people!"

This problem is unsolvable.

But at this moment, the situation has become a counterbalance. The clans headed by Prince Gong's Mansion, such as Ronghua County's Mansion and the Feng family, are in favor of Shen Tuchan, while the auxiliary ministers are against it.

The emperor looked at the prince, and the officials also looked at the prince.

The prince cursed angrily in his heart, and he put all the responsibility on him. He calmly said: "Your Majesty, empty words are useless. No matter how beautiful the words are, it is useless. Why don't you make a request to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, unless they Can come up with a new formation map or winning weapon."

These words were somewhat biased towards the Zhenbei Houfu, but they were irrefutable. The officials were speechless for a while, and looked at the emperor one after another.

The emperor put his hand on the dragon chair and patted it a few times: "It makes sense, then let's see the fortune of the Zhenbeihou Mansion."

After finishing speaking, he said: "It's winter now, and Hanzhong's garrison has also entered its leisure time. The Mobei army situation is imminent. Hanzhong should also come in to practice and prepare for war."

As soon as he said this, it seemed that hundreds of thousands of bees flew into the hall, and there was a buzzing sound.

The meaning of the emperor's words seems to be very straightforward. Hanzhong is preparing for war, which means that Mobei is about to start a war. Why does the emperor trust Zhenbei Houfu so much that it can do it?
But the emperor didn't explain anything, but glanced at Gao Yongyi, Gao Yongyi took a step forward and said loudly: "Back to the court——"

The city of Jingdu has never given Wang Yan instructions, neither objecting nor will.

Shen Tuchan has already started to inspect the drills in the army, the food in the army has also improved, the cotton clothes are much thicker than in previous years, and several batches of new weapons and armor have arrived.

Even if the soldiers didn't understand the situation in the court, they began to talk about it, wondering if King Yan was going to take charge of Mobei.Many generals following Wang Yan were a little unconvinced, and Wang Yan was also a little impetuous. Shen Tuchan was the concubine of the Jiang family, and she was the king here, and she had nothing to say for the benefit of the army.

Shentuchan's side was not calm, there was no progress in Hanzhong, and there was no movement on Shentu Danlin's side. She was worried about Shentu Danlin's safety and worried about making artillery.

Princess Baoqing sent a letter to tell her about the affairs of the court, Shen Tuchan chose to wait, she could only wait, waiting for the news of Shentu Danlin, waiting for the deafening sound of the artillery.

At the end of the new year, the nights in the barracks became a little looser, and the trees could be cracked by the cold wind. The soldiers on guard at night couldn't help but walk back and forth to keep their bodies warm.

The night was so cold that there were no ghosts, and just as he was about to scold his mother, he heard the rustling of snowflakes falling from the branches and leaves. Before he could turn his head to look, a sharp arrow pierced his chest.

He suddenly widened his eyes and screamed with his last voice: "Enemy attack!"

The Xiongnu did not rest in this cold winter, but launched an attack at the end of the year.

Seeing the end of the year, the people in the city began to prepare for the New Year, and the army was already full of joy. This is the best time for food throughout the year.

The soldiers patrolling at night hadn't picked up their bowls when they heard the horn of the enemy's sneak attack, and the barracks suddenly turned upside down.

Wang Yan didn't completely relax his deployment during this time, so the soldiers didn't react except for the first attack, and immediately counterattacked.

The Huns are not a large group of people, they just came to harass and set a fire. The fire was very bright in winter. When Jiang Lan brought a machete and they rode over, the fire had already burned several tents, but they were not given to the tents when they were built. The distance between them was kept, so the fire died after burning an adjacent tent.

The Xiongnu seemed to have just come to investigate the situation of the army, and then retreated quickly. Wang Yan, who was always cautious, restrained the horse and said to the lieutenant general: "Don't chase after the poor, watch out for the trap!"

Jiang Lan felt a little strange, he looked at Wang Yan and said, "Will there be raids in previous winters?"

The deputy general went to arrange for the soldiers to step up their patrols, and Wang Yan said: "Yes, not many times, usually to grab some food, but this time it is a bit strange."

The Xiongnu did not grab the food, but seemed to come here to find out what was going on with the Jin army.

Wang Yan added: "The scouts have been sent out."

Jiang Lan nodded, and Hu Dao rode over from a distance and said, "Your Highness, they really left, as if they came here to take a look."

Jiang Lan's face was expressionless. This was simply a deliberate attempt to startle the enemy. Once the Xiongnu came out like this, they knew that the Great Jin would strengthen their defenses.

Then they definitely didn't come to snatch things, nor did they come for the follow-up battle. If there was a big battle, they would definitely go straight to it, and it was impossible to come here to inform.

Jiang Lan stared straight into the night for a long time, until Wang Yan wanted to step forward to remind him that the enemy attack was over, then he looked at Wang Yan, lowered his voice in the overwhelming wind, and said, "They must have come to inquire about the news. There are traitors."

Wang Yan was startled, and after looking left and right, he realized that there were only him and Jiang Lan, Hu Dao, the guard of Prince Yan's Mansion, was standing guard not far away, and he could not hide his shock: "How is it possible?! What news can they come to inquire about? "

Jiang Lan smiled sarcastically: "The news that Da Jin may change his general."
