Chapter 299 Qin Zhen's First Victory, Wei Yuan's Plan, Zhang Guifen's Family Letter

After the Battle of Daizhou, when Wei Yuan was granted the title and came to the capital to serve as the commander of the Ma Army, Qin Zhen served under Wei Yuan.

After so many years, would Qin Zhen not know about Wei Yuan's abilities?

Wei Yuan said that if Ye Luxin is stable in fighting, then the other party must be stable.

This method of using surprise to defeat stability can only work once. No matter how many times it is used, Yeluxin will be on guard first.

If there hadn't been Wei Yuan's letter, and if Qin Zhen didn't know Yelu Xinxian, he wouldn't have dared to make a surprise attack on the Liao camp.

Because the risk of defeat was not something Qin Zhen could bear.

At this moment, the whole country needs a big victory to inspire people, and Qin Zhen also needs a victory to prove himself.

Therefore, Qin Zhen chose to use surprise troops and believed in Wei Yuan's judgment about Yelu Xinxian.

But he couldn't tell outsiders about this kind of thing. Once he did, the world would only credit Wei Yuan's head, not him.

It was for this reason that he had no choice but to publicly refute what Wei Yuan said in front of many soldiers.

He wanted the world to know that the victory in this war was due to himself, not to the words of others.

To be honest, Wei Yuan had already expected what Qin Zhen would do.

After all, in that letter, Wei Yuan only warned Qin Zhen not to be impatient and to compete with Ye Luxin first.

Behind this letter, he also wanted to reveal a message to Qin Zhen about Yelu Xinxian's weakness.

Wei Yuan guessed what Qin Zhen was going to do after reading the letter, but he didn't point it out directly. Why didn't he want to fulfill Qin Zhen's wish?

In the big tent.

Qin Zhen put away the letter written by Wei Yuan again and did not choose to burn it. He murmured:

"Brother Wei, I am really stingy, don't blame me. I will make amends to you when the war is over!"

At this time, Jiangnan.

Wei Yuan was fishing in Suzhou Lake in a small boat.

On the ship, there were Lin Zhaoyuan and Chen Daniu.

Not long after, Lin Zhaoyuan received a letter from Fei Ge, which detailed the story of the first battle of Daming Mansion.

Lin Zhaoyuan exclaimed: "Yesterday I told General Yuanzhi that in the first battle of Daming Mansion, I was afraid that the young master Qin would lose. Unexpectedly, he actually won."

Chen Daniu was also amazed and said: "It seems that my future uncle is quite good at fighting."

Lin Zhaoyuan glared at him, "Miss Qin hasn't made a clear promise to you yet, so you're just talking nonsense like this and ruining someone's innocence."

Chen Daniu chuckled, "Isn't that a matter of time?"

At this time, Wei Yuan suddenly twisted and looked at the two of them, and said seriously: "It won't take long, this battle will probably be over, and Daniel will be able to embrace the beauty back home."

Hearing the sound, Chen Daniu touched the back of his head in confusion, and wondered: "Brother, what do you mean? My sister-in-law helped me talk about a kiss again?"

Wei Yuan smiled and said: "Because of Sister Jing's incident, Qin Zhen and I did a scene in the Hou Mansion, and we were a bit harsh. It is said that Qin Zhen has not been able to walk properly for half a month."

"Now that the battle of Daming Mansion is over, he will more or less miss me. Firstly, it is to repay his previous favor, and secondly, I can go with the flow and settle your matter."

Chen Daniu and Lin Zhaoyuan were still a little confused.

Wei Yuan revealed the content behind the letter.

Chen Daniu frowned and said: "How does eldest brother know, then Qin Zhen will definitely understand your thoughts?"

Wei Yuan said: "Qin Zhen is different from you and others. He is a noble son. He has rarely been on the battlefield in his life. If it weren't for the presence of Old General Qin, Qin Zhen would not have become the commander-in-chief of the march and have full authority to command the Daming Mansion. A battle.”

"If he wants to make great achievements and establish his prestige in the army, he will definitely be eager for success. When I tell Qin Zhen about Yeluxin's military expertise, isn't it just to tell Yeluxin about his weaknesses?"

"Let me ask you, when you know the enemy's weakness, should you turn from passive to active and find a suitable fighter to kill it with one strike, or should you continue to be passive and be beaten?"

Lin Zhaoyuan responded bluntly, "Of course I took the initiative, but I still have one thing that I don't understand about my humble position. How did the Marquis know about Ye Luxin's weaknesses?"

Wei Yuan smiled and said: "You two are the only ones in the whole Jiangnan who know about the fact that I won't accept the goods at night."

"Every day and night I receive and receive battle reports from various places, at least a dozen. When I have nothing to do, I sit in front of the sand table to figure out the movements of the enemy's and our own armies."

"Moreover, since the Liao army went south, I have been paying attention to Mr. Yelu Xin. After so many days, if I can't even think of this, wouldn't I really be doing nothing?"

After a pause, Wei Yuan smiled again and said: "If Qin Zhen can't use his surprise troops to challenge Yelu Xinxian, it means that he has no talent in leading an army, and all my efforts are in vain."

"If he sends troops, even if he loses, if he withdraws in time, the loss will not be too great. If he wins, it will not only inspire the determination of the people of Zhou Dynasty to resist the Liao and Xia army, but also hurt the bones of the Liao army and delay Yelv Ren's first attack. Some action in Northland.”

"Why doesn't Qin Zhen do something that will make a lot of money?"

When he said this, Lin Zhaoyuan suddenly stopped talking.

Wei Yuan, who had not turned around to pay attention to the movement of the fishing rod, asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

What he said just now was already very clear.

The strongest enemy general in the Great Zhou Dynasty was Yelv Renxian.

In the Battle of Daming Mansion, Yelv Xinxian's defeat would definitely hinder Yelv Renxian's march south.

And this is the effect Wei Yuan wants to see.

As for the so-called military merit, Wei Yuan didn't care.

Because he knew that the day of his resurrection would not be too far away.

Lin Zhaoyuan was asked to send people to the capital every day to express his willingness to join Prince Zhao Xi.

Finally got a response.

Although there are only a few words, "Master guard, don't be impatient."

But precisely because of these few words, Wei Yuan had some plans.

First of all, it is not possible to let Yelu Ren take the lead first, and secondly, it is to delay the pace of the Liao army's attack.

Only in this way can he deal a devastating blow to the Liao army when they rise again. This is the great achievement that Wei Yuan really wants.

As for when Wei Yuan planned to write a letter to Qin Zhen?

That starts with Wei Yuan learning about Yelv Renxian's shocking plan.

It was also from that moment that Wei Yuan decided to play chess with the first commander of the Liao Kingdom.

Fortunately, from the current point of view, Wei Yuan has won.

Of course, Wei Yuan was also prepared for Qin Zhen to attack steadily, that is, to have Xu Changzhi and Yang Huairen join forces to attack the troops left by Ye Luxin in Qizhou in front and back.

Fortunately, Qin Zhen did what he thought, so the two moves of Yang Huairen and Xu Changzhi can be ignored for the time being.

Perhaps from now on, Mr. Yelvren will not even realize that his enemy has changed.

It was no longer Qin Lie, let alone Qin Zhen, Yang Huairen and other young generals.

But Wei Yuan.

This is the power of the Daizhou network.

Once the country encounters war, it doesn't matter even if I'm not needed.

However, there are so many generals from Daizhou, and there are also many people who can march and fight, you can't just use none of them, right?

As long as I use it, I will have a chance to recover.

Of course, it's just that it's still far from the time for Brother Dai Zhou to jointly submit a memorial and implore the court to let him step out and take charge of the overall situation.

Because he firmly believed that the student he taught, the current Prince Zhao Xi, must have some thoughts in his mind.

Whether those ideas are good or bad is beside the point.

But in short, it must be related to his own resurrection.

At this time, hearing Wei Yuan's question, Lin Zhaoyuan hesitated again and again, and finally said:

"The news just came that Yelv Ren first bloodbathed Qizhou, and more than 100,000 people were wiped out. The Jiedu envoys of Dingzhou and Zhaozhou surrendered to Liao in order to protect the people."

"Now, Yelvren is marching into Mingzhou."

Mingzhou?

Handan area?

Wei Yuan's pupils shrank, "Although it is after the New Year, the snow in the cities and towns has not yet melted, so how could Mr. Yelvren be so fast?"

"Even if you fight all the way, you won't be so fast, right?"

Lin Zhaoyuan spoke earnestly: "Since Yelu Ren massacred the city, commanders and regiment commanders from all over the country have been afraid and dare not resist."

Chen Daniu said: "These are dog officers who deserve to be killed! Once Yelv Renxian captures Mingzhou, won't he be able to successfully join forces with Yelu Xinxian? Wouldn't General Qin be in danger?"

Lin Zhaoyuan handed Wei Yuan the second letter that Fei Ge had just sent.

There were only a few words in the letter, but the most eye-catching word was the word 'Murder the City'.

Wei Yuan was furious, "Straight bitch!"

At this time, another flying pigeon came.

Lin Zhaoyuan used a military sentry to attract Fei Ge here, opened the envelope, and found only one thing on it.

Zhao Xi ordered Xie Wu to lead 30,000 forbidden troops to Handan.

Lin Zhaoyuan said hurriedly: "I know Xie Wu's ability. He is more than capable of charging into battle. Let him face the world's famous generals. This..."

Wei Yuan shook his head and said: "Don't worry, Wang Anshi and the others know how much Xie Wu has. They asked him to guard Handan, just to nip it in the bud."

Chen Daniu said: "It's already here, why don't we just wait and do nothing?"

In fact, these days, the person who suffers the most in his heart is not Wei Yuan, but Chen Daniu.

He is a war fanatic.

The entire Northland and Yanbian were in full swing, but he could only stay in this corner of the Yangtze River. How could he be reconciled?

But he didn't want to leave Wei Yuan's side.

Wei Yuan slowly closed his eyes, threw the fishing rod in his hand into the lake, and murmured: "Wait a little longer, the more this time is, the more calm you have to be."

After leaving Taihu Lake and returning to the other courtyard.

Wei Yuan informed Xie Yuying that Zhang Guifen asked Zhang Da to investigate Xie Yuying.

The latter was shocked when he heard this.

Wei Yuan smiled and asked, "Are you afraid?"

Xie Yuying touched her belly and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "The eldest lady is a tiger girl in the general family, how can the slave family not be afraid?"

At this point, Wei Yuan only heard a thud, and it was Xie Yuying who knelt on the ground and said seriously:

"Master Marquis, you have made a lot of mistakes, and they are all the fault of the slave family. The slave family should not have shamelessly stayed with the Marquis as a geisha, let alone be pregnant with this unicorn."

"But there is nothing wrong with the child. Lord Marquis, the child in the slave family's belly is your blood after all. After the child is born, the slave family will stay in the south of the Yangtze River, always accompanying the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng, and never set foot in the capital."

"Please also ask the Marquis, for the sake of the slave family's infatuation, to keep the child in the slave family's belly."

"If the eldest lady is really unable to do it, the slave family is willing to hang herself here after giving birth to the child. From now on, the children in the slave family's belly will only have one mother, and that is the mistress! Please grant it to me!"

"."

As she spoke, she burst into tears.

I was afraid that Zhang Guifen would really kill their 'mother and son'.

Wei Yuan said in a deep voice: "Are you willing to hand over the child in your belly to Madam to raise?"

Xie Yuying kept kowtowing and said, "I am willing! As long as the child can grow up healthy, I am willing to do anything you ask me to do!"

Seeing this, Wei Yuan sighed.

In the past, he only felt that Xie Yuying followed him because he was a marquis of the Great Zhou.

Besides, there was only one legal wife in the family, so there were not so many tedious things.

But now it seems that perhaps Xie Yuying is also somewhat sincere to him?

Thinking of this, Wei Yuan helped Xie Yuying up and said earnestly:

"Don't worry, your mistress is not a jealous person. It is understandable that she investigated you."

Speaking of this, he handed a wooden box to Xie Yuying and said:

"This is a gift from your mistress to you, open it and take a look."

Mistress?

Zhang Guifen?

She gave me a gift as a geisha?

Thinking of this, Xie Yuying suddenly felt incredible, slowly opened the wooden box, and found that it was actually some exquisite jewelry that could not be seen on the market.

Among them was a crystal clear jade hairpin, which Xie Yuying felt quite familiar with. It seemed that she had seen it on the head of a lady of a powerful family. It seemed to be made by the emperor?

Could it be

Thinking of this, Xie Yuying suddenly widened her eyes and felt unbelievable,

"My Lord, are all the jewelry in this box made by the emperor?"

Over the years, as Xie Yuying's fame in Jiangnan has grown.

In fact, she has made a lot of money.

However, no matter how much money she has, some things are difficult for her to buy or own.

For example, with her identity as a geisha, it is impossible for her to become a legitimate wife of a good family.

For example, even if she makes a lot of money, she can't buy things that only the upper class can own.

Just like the box of imperial jewelry in her hand.

Not to mention her, even merchants in the Great Zhou can't wear silk clothes.

Of course, not many people care about this Great Zhou law now.

Hearing this, Wei Yuan smiled and nodded, saying, "Your mistress has already nodded. When everything is stable, you will follow me back to the capital, and she will arrange a place for you to live."

"This Marquis knows that you want to enter my Wei family, but your mistress means that you have to wait a little longer."

At this moment, Xie Yuying's eyes suddenly filled with tears.

She didn't expect that Zhang Guifen would actually agree to let her go to the capital.

She didn't expect that she had no intention of harming her at all.

"Marquis."

Xie Yuying looked at Wei Yuan with a grateful look.

She felt that if Wei Yuan hadn't said good things to the lady in the Marquis's mansion.

I'm afraid that all these things here would not be like this.

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "This Marquis knows what you are thinking. It has nothing to do with this Marquis to agree that you will follow this Marquis to the capital in the future."

While saying this, he handed Xie Yuying a letter sent by Zhang Guifen.

There were only two words on the letter - family letter.
