The Doctor’s Three-Time Marriage

Liang Kingdom, Yaocheng.

Situ Xie, like Duanmu Chen, paid close attention to the war. The difference is that Duanmu Chen only cares about the war between the northern part of Qian Kingdom and Liang Kingdom, while Situ Xie also focuses on the war between southern Qian Kingdom and Yan Kingdom.

Whether the Yan Kingdom can conquer Kasyapa City is very important to the Liang Kingdom. Therefore, when Situ Xie received the news that the Yan Kingdom would send troops according to the time agreed between him and Ji Yuebai, he felt relieved.

Because in his opinion, as long as Liang and Yan form a pincer attack on Qian Country, it will only be a matter of time before Qian Country is destroyed, and there is no other possibility at all.

Especially Mo Yan's assistance doubled Situ Xie's confidence and confidence, and he was just waiting for the good news from ahead.

However, as time went by, after the complacency at the beginning of the war cooled down, Situ Xie became more and more anxious with the frequent battle reports: not only was Xuanbei City unable to be captured for a long time, but there was no sign of Kasyapa City being breached either!

During this period, the vanguard general of Xuanbei City has always been Situ Xie's grandson Qiu Jing. The former second prince of Liang Kingdom has made it difficult for the court, the people and the military to ignore him. There have been many voices of resentment and dissatisfaction. . Outsiders did not know the inside story of Qiu Jing's betrayal of Liang Guo. They only thought that it was caused by internal problems in the royal family, but they did not solve this hidden danger early.

Situ Xie's children and grandchildren continued to speak out, strongly suggesting that Qiu Jing, a traitor, should be eliminated as soon as possible, saying that he was the bane of the Situ family in Liang Kingdom, and only his death could stabilize the morale of the army and the people.

This is why when Nangong Lin and Yue Mei met Situ Xie one after another and were willing to work for him, he decided to let them go and deal with Qiu Jing. Not only "old grudges", but also "new grudges" and the need to advance the current war.

Situ Xie counted the time and waited for the news that Nangong Lin and Yue Mei had succeeded. It is said that one of them is Qiu Jing's master and the other is a master of poison. If they work together to deal with Qiu Jing, even if Qiu Cong is here, there will be no big problem.

When Situ Xie's expected time came, he received the news: Qiu Jing, who had been the vanguard general since the war began, did not show up, and another young general with an unfamiliar face was replaced.

The new general was Bai Yang, and the news Situ Xie received was from the day Bai Yang led his troops to kill the enemy for the first time.

Although Bai Yang was highly skilled in martial arts, he still successfully blocked the Liang army outside Xuanbei City, but the news today made Situ Xie smile for the first time since the war began. His children and grandchildren who hated Qiu Jing extremely drank and celebrated, saying they were "sending off" Qiu Jing.

Regardless of whether it was public or private, it was good news for them that Qiu Jing was gone.

Unfortunately, they were happy a little too early... because in the new battle report sent the next day, Qiu Jing appeared again, as the forward general of the Qian Kingdom, leading his army to repel the Liang Kingdom army.

How happy you were yesterday will make you twice as depressed today.

But Situ Xie asked Nangong Lin and Yue Mei to find Mo Yan if they encountered obstacles. He believed that as long as Mo Yan took action, Qiu Jing would not be able to escape.

Just waiting and waiting, in the subsequent battle reports, every time Bai Yang replaced Qiu Jing in the battle, the Situ family thought that Qiu Jing was defeated by them, but Qiu Jing would always show up on time the next day.

After three consecutive rounds of substitutions, although it only lasted six or seven days, Situ Xie still felt that something unexpected must have happened, otherwise Qiu Jing would have been fine.

Situ Xie did not arrange for the masters around him to kill Qiu Jing. If Nangong Lin, Yue Mei and Mo Yan can't do it, sending anyone else will be in vain. But Situ Xie didn't think that the three of them couldn't do it together, but suspected that Mo Yan didn't do it.

Therefore, Situ Xie planned to send a confidant to see Mo Yan to inquire about the situation and ask Mo Yan to think of a way to break through Xuanbei City as soon as possible. Otherwise, the Liang Kingdom would not be able to sustain itself for too long with the food and grass provided by the Yan Kingdom.

But before the men were sent out, Situ Xie received a piece of news that instantly changed his face: Qian Guo secretly mobilized troops from Kasyapa City to the north before the war started!

The reason why Situ Xie found out about this matter now is because Yan State and Qian State tried their best to cover up these secret actions in order to confuse Liang State. Especially the Yan Kingdom. Now that they are sending out a large army to attack Kasyapa City today, how could the Liang Kingdom's royal family have thought that the Yan Kingdom was actually just pretending?

And this news made Situ Xie furious! This not only shows that the Qian Kingdom has long known that the Liang Kingdom is going to war, but also that the Qian Kingdom royal family believes that resisting the Liang Kingdom's attack is more important, and there is no need to worry about not being able to defend the south!

You must know that Yan Kingdom, which has been watching the fire from afar these years, occupies unique natural resources. Its national power is not weaker than Qian Kingdom and Liang Kingdom, and its military strength is not weaker either.

When this happens, there is only one possibility: Ji Yuebai is a liar! He promised to cooperate with Liang Guo, but in fact he secretly colluded with Qian Guo!

"Emperor Grandfather, could it be that Qian Guo thought Liang Guo was stronger, so he transferred some troops from the south to the north?" Situ Jing couldn't understand, "Ji Yuebai has no reason to collude with Qian Guo. If so, why would he? Send us so much food and grass?”

Yes, food and grass... Situ Xie remembered how Ji Yuebai's master had behaved when he came to discuss with him. He was so cheerful and willing to provide food and grass to the Liang Kingdom first. It was full of sincerity. This also made Situ Xie and Yan Kingdom after they sent troops. Before today, I never doubted the cause of the problem in Yan country.

However, he was tricked and slapped in the face so much that Situ Xie was caught off guard. He was so angry that he almost wanted to vomit blood!

Looking at Situ Xie's frighteningly gloomy face, Situ Jing realized that the worst situation had really happened: not only was Yan State not an ally of Liang State, but it had also become Qian State's backing!

"Gu Ling... Su Liang..." Situ Xie gritted his teeth, "It must be their fault! Duanmu Chen doesn't have such great ability to convince Ji Yuebai! Maybe it was Gu Ling who was able to become the prince when Ji Yuebai became the prince. Help secretly! At that time, Gu Ling’s whereabouts were unknown!”

Situ Jing frowned fiercely, "Then...can we have a truce?" If they continue to fight, there is no chance of winning.

Situ Xie said coldly, "That food and grass is bait! We have taken the bait. Do you think they will cease war if we make a truce?"

A gust of wind blew in through the window, and Situ Jing felt a chill on the back of his neck. For the first time, he felt that the Liang Kingdom was in danger of annihilation.

"That mysterious master! Does he have any idea? Let him kill Gu Ling and Su Liang! Our obstacles will be reduced a lot! Then kill Duanmu Chen and Ji Yuebai!" Situ Jing clenched his fists explain.

"It's not that easy." Situ Xie said coldly. Mo Yan had long said that he would arrange for his people to kill Duanmu Chen. A few days ago, Situ Xie received the news that Gu Ling had become the regent of the Qian Kingdom. He thought that Mo Yan's people had succeeded. Unexpectedly, he received the news again not long after. Duanmu Chen appeared again unscathed.

"It's difficult to deal with Qian Guo, so first kill Ji Yuebai who lied to us!" Situ Jing said sternly, "Catch his son and bring him here as a hostage! See if he will obey!"

Situ Xie did not answer Situ Jing's words, but wrote a new letter and asked his confidants to take it to Mo Yan.

After the people left, Situ Jing spoke again, "Father, is the man named Mo really trustworthy? Is it possible that he also colluded with Gu Ling and Su Liang?"

Situ Xie once commented that Su Liang was best at deceiving people. Now that even Ji Yuebai has unreasonably formed an alliance with Qian Guo, Situ Jing feels that the mysterious Mo Yan is also suspicious.

Situ Xie narrowed his eyes and shook his head after a while, "He is not the same person as Gu Ling and Su Liang."

"But, will he really help us?" Situ Jing asked again.

Situ Xie is really not sure about this issue. But he knew that Mo Yan, Gu Ling and Su Liang were enemies, and the enemy of an enemy was a friend. However, thinking that there was no exchange of interests between the Liang royal family and Mo Yan made Situ Xie feel uneasy, because he still didn't know what purpose Mo Yan wanted to achieve...

But now that things have happened, there is no turning back. Liang Guo started the war first, and even if Liang Guo wanted to stop, Qian Guo would not let it go.

The letter that Situ Xie asked his confidants to bring told Mo Yan that Yanguo secretly colluded with Qianguo to set a trap for Liangguo, so Mo Yan must help Liangguo reverse the situation no matter what method he used, otherwise their cooperation would be doomed. fail.

…

In addition to sending people to find Mo Yan, later that day, Situ Xie issued another imperial edict to the Peng family, ordering Peng Wei, who had already removed his armor, to go to Nanping City on the same day, and also asked Peng Wei's only grandson to follow him Go to the battlefield together.

When the Peng family received the imperial edict, they were angry but dared not speak out. Peng Wei was old and had been seriously injured before he retired. Although he recovered well under Su Liang's treatment and saved his life, his current body and bones were not suitable for leading troops in war. As for Peng Wei, he was the only grandson of the third generation. He had already requested an order from the previous emperor Situ Han and would not let his grandson go to the battlefield.

Even if they are not on the front line, the Peng family understands the current situation. The Liang Kingdom wants to attack the Qian Kingdom, but the war has been going on for nearly half a month and they have not yet broken through Xuanbei City.

The three generations of the Peng family knew very well that Situ Xie's purpose of ordering Peng Wei to take his grandson to Nanping City at this time was not because he really expected the old Peng Wei or his young and inexperienced grandson to lead the army, but because the Peng family was not like today Xuanbeicheng’s general Xing Ji, Su Liang and Gu Ling all have some past friendships!

This was obviously a deliberate attempt to let the Peng family's descendants go to see if Xing Ji would show mercy to them, and if necessary, he might even push the Peng family's descendants out as hostages.

But the imperial edict has been issued, and I have to accept it, and I have to go. The Peng family has been from the Liang Kingdom for generations, and they are generals. If they resist the order, no one will care about how many achievements they have made, and it will lead to great disasters.

Peng Wei's son Peng Qian was seriously ill and had already recovered after being treated by Su Liang. He couldn't bear to see his elderly father forced to fight on the battlefield, so he went to the palace and knelt down to beg to fight on his father's behalf.

Situ Xie said some high-sounding words, and finally changed his will and asked Peng Qian to go instead of his son. As for Peng Wei, he had to go no matter what. Situ Xie said that Peng Wei needed to be in charge at the border.

Therefore, Peng Wei and Peng Qian's father and son left Yaocheng and headed south to Nanping City.

Peng Wei's body could no longer bear the long hours of riding on horseback. Peng Qian offered to let his father ride in the carriage. However, the accompanying military attaché sent by Situ Xie was very tough and said that the emperor had set a time and had to arrive at Yaocheng within a time limit. He could not delay and asked Peng Wei is considerate of them.

Peng Qian was filled with anger, but Peng Wei persuaded him, saying that he was fine and could still hold on and not cause trouble.

…

The situation of three parts of the world has been maintained for nearly a hundred years. Although there were occasional wars between Liang and Qian, they never had any fundamental impact on the two countries.

However, in the past two years, major changes have occurred within the royal families of the three countries, and the throne has been replaced one after another. Last year, the Yan Kingdom attacked Kasyapa City and was repulsed. Therefore, when the Liang Kingdom began to attack Xuanbei City this time, even ordinary people felt that this God, things are really going to change.

As time goes by, the stalemate war is nothing to the Qianguo army. As long as they block the Liangguo attack, it is their victory. However, it is obvious that the Liangguo army is becoming more and more impetuous from top to bottom.

Xing Ji and Qiu Jing analyzed it together and felt that this was an inevitable result. The Liang Kingdom has always wanted to fight but did not dare to start a war easily because of insufficient food and grass. However, this does not mean that the Liang Kingdom's army will have the strength to crush the Qian Kingdom's army after solving the food and grass problem.

Xing Ji participated in the war between the two countries when he was young, and he has always paid attention to the changes in the Liang army over the years. Except for Peng Wei, there is really nothing for him to fear from other generals, but Peng Wei is already old, and the entire family of Peng Wei's son-in-law They were destroyed by Su Liang and Gu Ling in the past two years.

The strength of Qianguo's army has increased significantly in the past two years, thanks to Su Liang's military training plan, including her measures to improve the army's food and medical conditions. Although Duanmu Yi is now dead, he was still a wise king when he was in power. He valued Su Liang very much and seriously implemented many of her suggestions.

At the general level, it is said that there is a shortage of people, but the current group of young generals, including Qiu Jing, Nian Jincheng and Lin Wei, are all capable of acting independently, and even Bai Yang is growing up very quickly. In addition, there is Lin Bojun who guards the capital. Not to mention that Gu Ling and Su Liang are both military prodigies who are familiar with the art of war and have turned the tide on more than one occasion.

Therefore, Xing Ji and Qiu Jing did not think they would lose in a head-on war when they were sure that Yan Guo would not get involved. They were just worried that the mysterious forces that Su Liang repeatedly reminded him to be wary of were up to something secretly.

A few days ago, Nangong Lin sent a letter to make an appointment to meet Qiu Cong and Qiu Jing. The two did not go. After that, they waited and waited, but there was no movement from Nangong Lin.

Qiu Cong, who was waiting for Nangong Lin to show up and kill him, was so angry that he yelled, "Could he be struck to death by lightning?!"

Qi Jun nodded seriously, "It's really possible."

On this day, Xing Ji once again received a secret order from the capital. It was said to be a secret order, but Duanmu Chen would thoughtfully inform the Xing family and the Su family every time he sent someone to send them a letter. Putting everything else aside for now, Xing Ji was a little surprised when he opened Duanmu Chen's secret edict.

Duanmu Chen ordered Xing Ji to take the initiative to propose a truce agreement with Liang Guo.

Qiu Jing led his troops back from outside the city. After seeing the secret decree, he frowned and thought for a moment, "The emperor's decree must have been discussed with Gu Ling and Su Liang. I suspect that Su Liang may be worried about continuing the fight against that mysterious force. People will be unable to restrain themselves and take cruel measures."

"But will Nanping City agree to peace talks?" Bai Yang asked.

"As long as we bring up such a big matter, they will have to ask Situ Xie for instructions, and it is possible for the war to be suspended." Qiu Jing explained to Bai Yang.

Xing Ji thought thoughtfully, "The fact that Yan Country is our ally cannot be hidden from Situ Xie for too long. He should know about it by now."

Nangong Qian's letter sent at the same time showed that Nangong Lin had indeed lied before.

Su Liang's letter said something that surprised both Xing Ji and Qiu Jing: If the old man Mo Yan, who is suspected to be the leader of the mysterious force, appears and wants to arrest or kill you, or use explosives to attack the city, tell him one thing. I am his granddaughter and asked him to come to the capital to meet me.

"This..." Qiu Cong was confused, "Is it true or false? Is this Xiao Liang's strategy to lure the enemy?"

Xing Ji thought about Su Liang's life experience. Although it was known that she was Su Yuanzhou's granddaughter, no one knew who her mother was. Therefore, Xing Ji suspected that what Su Liang said in the letter might be true!

"Did Su Liang just find out about this? Because of those assassins?" Qiu Jing felt that if Su Liang had known about it earlier, he would not have said it now.

"Probably." Xing Ji nodded, "Anyway, judging from Xiao Liang's intentions, that Mo Yan is extremely dangerous, so be more careful in the future. We should do as she said before, avoid private contact, the other party won't come to us, and don't create any complications. When the Liang army comes back tomorrow, tell them to call for a truce and peace."

It was night, in an inconspicuous house in Nanping City.

Mo Yan saw He Wei, whose arm was broken off by a bomb and half of his face was scarred.

"What's going on?" Mo Yan asked coldly.

He Wei lowered his head and knelt down, "Master, Gu Ling and Su Liang are too cunning. They seemed to have predicted our actions and set up an ambush. Everyone else was gone." When he was injured and fled the capital, They thought Duanmu Chen was not dead but seriously injured, but on the way they heard that Duanmu Chen was fine at all.

"How did you get hurt like this?" Mo Yan helped He Wei up.

He Wei sighed deeply and said, "I was bombed." He didn't say that he was bombed. He deliberately blurred the matter so that Mo Yan would assume that he was injured by Gu Ling and Su Liang.

As expected, Mo Yan didn't ask further, "How are Rou'er and the others?"

He Wei shook his head, "Rou'er was given a marriage, but I thought that I would kill Duanmu Chen right away, so it would be okay. I didn't go to see them during that time for fear of causing trouble." Because his daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter After being in contact with Su Liang, He Qianqian would recognize that Su Liang's appearance was similar to that of Mo Yan's daughter. He Wei had to deny that he had seen He Qianqian during this period, and he had to insist that he had never seen what Su Liang looked like with his own eyes. Only then could he cover up the fact that he knew that Su Liang was probably Mo Yan's granddaughter.

"I understand. If you go again this time, who do you think is the person I'm looking for, Gu Ling or Su Liang?" Mo Yan asked.

He Wei immediately answered, "It's Gu Ling. Su Liang didn't show up and was taking care of the children at home. Gu Ling almost ruined our operation alone. If the master wants Gu Ling to leave, he must kill Su Liang. He is extremely powerful. , difficult to deal with, but on the way back, my subordinate kept thinking that the only thing that can frustrate him and make him collapse is Su Liang's death!"

After He Wei finished speaking, Mo Yan nodded, "I have sent Yue Mei and Nangong Lin to the capital to kill Su Liang. They should be almost here."

He Wei was delighted, but suddenly he discovered a problem. Yue Mei was very familiar with Shen Qingxue, and also knew that Shen Qingxue had given birth to a daughter for Mo Yan. If she saw Su Liang's face, would there be complications?

But soon, He Wei felt that Yue Mei, like him, discovered that Su Liang might be Shen Qingxue's granddaughter, and would definitely kill Su Liang by any means necessary before Mo Yan found out about it! Firstly, the person Yue Mei hated most was Shen Qingxue, and secondly, Su Liang was the person she wanted to kill. If Mo Yan knew that Su Liang gained power, Yue Mei would definitely die.

In this way, He Wei felt a little relieved.

"These losers from Liang Kingdom have been unable to capture a single city for so long." He Wei mentioned the current battle situation.

Mo Yan said coldly, "I'm almost ready. I'll blow up the wall of Xuanbei City tomorrow."
