Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan

Why did Yeli retreat when he met a beggar?

It's simple, he doesn't want to fight this battle!

If we say that he led his army to the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was because he wanted to avenge his brother.

But now, he didn't even understand who killed his brother, so how could he fight?

After the new year.

Yeli Yuqi received the order from Li Yuanhao, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom.

All the generals of the Yeli clan asked him one after another.

"General, after the beginning of spring, we are asked to attack Yanmen. Are you a little too anxious?"

"There are quite a lot of troops stationed at Yanmen. As for the other border cities, Zhang Fu doesn't care. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to bypass Yanmen and seize the remaining city gates of Daizhou?"

"The guard currently stationed at Yanmen is none other than Wei Yuan."

"."

These generals were not aware of Ye Li Wangrong's death.

They were just talking about things.

Yeli Yuqi now has a headache.

He didn't want to fight this battle at all, let alone fight Yanmen or kill Wei Yuan.

Finally, he made a decision,

"Yanmen will still fight, but how and how long we will fight is up to us."

"Isn't there a saying in the Zhou Dynasty that the general will not accept the order of the king?"

Now he can finally understand the situation.

Most of the generals who accompanied him on this expedition were confidants who had fought with their Yeli brothers for many years.

If everything goes to Yanmen, who has the most advantage?

At first glance, it seems to be the Zhou Kingdom, but who issued the decree?

Yeli Yuqi is not that stupid. If he really wants to involve his confidants, he will probably die when he returns to the army.

As the new year comes to an end.

Zhang Fu also dispersed his troops and stationed them in various border towns in Daizhou.

As long as he can hold on to the city gates of Daizhou and prevent them from falling, then he will have both merit and demerit in this battle.

So for him, the next battle will be easier to fight.

The person responsible for garrisoning Yanmen Pass is still Wei Yuan.

In early March, on top of Yanmenguan City.

Xu Changzhi was following Wei Yuan to inspect the city defense, when suddenly he spoke with some dissatisfaction:

"I thought that in this battle, I was going to follow Zhang Shuai out of the pass, but in the end I was still defending the pass. I don't know when I can change my shape from offense to defense."

Wei Yuan said: "Our official didn't want to take the opportunity to regain the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture and go out to fight? It would only cause heavy casualties to Brother Paoze."

Xu Changzhi sighed: "In these years, apart from hearing about a certain general of our Zhou Dynasty who was successful in defending the city, have you ever heard of anyone who was successful in expanding the territory?"

If things go on like this, the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty can really do nothing except defending the city.

Just as Wei Yuan was about to say something, he heard that the scouts came to report that Ye Li Yu Qi Zheng led the Xixia army to kill him.

"You came just after the snow melted?"

Xu Changzhi was surprised.

Wei Yuan ordered that the entire army be ready.

This time, the number of troops guarding Yanmen totaled 80,000.

I dare not say anything else, but there is one thing that Wei Yuan dares to promise by patting his chest.

With less than 300,000 troops attacking the city, it is impossible for Yanmen to fall.

"How many people came?"

Wei Yuan asked the scout.

The latter responded: "Reporting to the general, judging from the camp flags, there are about two hundred thousand."

Two hundred thousand?

It's coming with force!

Not long after.

Wei Yuan had already seen the endless enemy troops slowly pressing towards Yanmen.

It was Yeli Yuqi who personally led his army.

A total of 200,000 troops, including countless large siege equipment.

No matter who is guarding Yanmen, they will subconsciously feel that the enemy is serious.

However, when the first wave of enemy troops came to fight, they didn't even get close to the city gate.

Wei Yuan just ordered people to shoot some arrows.

The Xixia army retreated.

Seeing this result, Wei Yuan and Xu Changzhi looked at each other, feeling confused.

"It's such a big battle, but it turns out it's just a test?"

"What do Yeli Yuqi want to do?"

"."

In any case, the enemy has already arrived.

Wei Yuan will never slack off.

But in the remaining days, the enemy troops attacked the city, with heavy thunder and light rain.

Tens of thousands of people rushed in like a rainbow.

After a few people died, the trumpet for withdrawal was sounded.

It’s confusing.

"Ye Li Yuqi personally led the army, is it just a feint attack?"

Wei Yuan made a bold guess.

Xu Changzhi was shocked and said: "General Wei is saying that their goal is not in Yanmen?"

Wei Yuan nodded,

"Hurry up and report this matter to Zhang Shuai, and ask Zhang Shuai to make a decision!"

——

at the same time.

Beijing.

Wei Shuyi made a rare trip out of the Sheng family and took Minglan with him.

He was heading to the mansion given to Wei Yuan by the officials to take a look.

On the carriage.

Wei Shuyi couldn't help but told Minglan repeatedly:

"Although the mansion was given to your uncle by the government, Mrs. Zhang found someone to take care of it."

"We are going to take a look at Mrs. Zhang's invitation this time. We are just taking a look. Girl Ming, do you understand?"

Minglan, who is one year older, is becoming more and more beautiful, especially her eyes, which are particularly bright and lively.

"Mom, my daughter knows. You have told her many times."

The two of them had already received Wei Yuan's reply.

Although the letter stated that you should treat the Zhang family, especially Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Guifen, as if they were your own family.

But after all, there was a difference between superiority and inferiority, and Wei Shuyi was still worried that he had done something wrong and offended Mrs. Zhang or Zhang Guifen.

Therefore, if we delay Wei Yuan's good marriage any longer, it will really be a dead end.

Arrive in front of Zhongyongbo's mansion.

As soon as Wei Shuyi and Minglan got off the carriage, they saw Zhang Guifen already waiting outside the door of the mansion.

Wei Shuyi did not dare to neglect and stepped forward quickly.

"How can I bother my sister to wait here in person?"

Zhang Guifen glanced at Minglan who was standing behind her, and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, aunt, my mother asked me to wait for you here."

Then, she waved to Minglan,

"Counting the time, I haven't seen you Ming girl for almost a month. Come over here and let me see if she has grown again."

Minglan rolled her eyes.

Wei Shuyi didn't notice, but still frowned at Minglan and said, "Didn't you hear your aunt calling you? Go quickly."

Minglan had no choice but to stand in front of Zhang Guifen.

The latter followed the example of his elders and touched her head.

"Well, not bad, he must have grown a lot taller."

Minglan ignored her and looked at the entire Zhongyongbo Mansion.

There are not only two lifelike huge stone lions in front of the gate.

There is even a pair of halberds in front of the stone lion.

This is authorized by the government.

To demonstrate the glory of martial arts.

"This is where my uncle will live in the future? It's really grand."

Minglan couldn't help but say something.

Zhang Guifen leaned against her ear and whispered:

"This is also where your aunt and I will live from now on."

Minglan rolled her eyes at her again, "You haven't married my uncle yet."

After several months of getting along, the relationship between the two has become extremely harmonious.

Quarrels are commonplace.

Zhang Guifen curled her lips in dissatisfaction and said anxiously:

"What do you mean? You don't want me to marry your uncle? Or do you think there is someone in the capital who is more suitable to be your aunt than me?"

After a pause, he took two steps forward, took Wei Shuyi's arm, and said with a frown:

"Auntie, look at her, she knows how to bully me!"

Minglan:? ? ?

Do you want Gao to figure out who is bullying whom?

However, she couldn't help but hear Wei Shuyi's angry scolding directly in her ears.

"How many times have I told you that this is your aunt and your elder!"

"Apologise to your aunt quickly!"

Minglan felt extremely wronged, "Mother"

Wei Shuyi frowned and said, "How dare you talk back again?!"

Minglan was helpless and was about to bow to Zhang Guifen and apologize.

Then I heard Zhang Guifen wave her hands in a pretentious manner:

"Auntie, please forgive Miss Ming this time. She didn't mean what she said. It's just her childish nature and ignorance."

For the first time, Minglan had the urge to pinch someone.

However, after spending this time together, she gradually understood Zhang Guifen's character.

On weekdays, he is very majestic in front of others. Every move and even every smile makes people dare not breathe or speculate for a long time. They dare not make mistakes and have to be careful to accompany him.

But only in front of myself, it’s hard to say anything!

I will cry if I continue!

Afterwards, Minglan followed Wei Shuyi and Zhang Guifen into Uncle Zhongyong's mansion.

What's interesting is that when she stepped into the uncle's house, Minglan kept her little hands clenched tightly and stared at Zhang Guifen's back with a look full of sadness.
