Three days have passed since the junior sister left the city to monitor Xingzi's battle situation.

In these three days, the reinforcements dispatched by Wang Lengran on the front line will send a messenger back to the city every day to deliver battle reports and report the latest news.

For example, where to march, what kind of supplies are urgently needed, and Ouyang Changshi needs to collect them, and the enemy's movements.

The latest news came in a hurry this evening.

Fortunately, the news is not bad:

Wang Lengran's reinforcements have arrived safely in Jishui County and are taking a short rest before marching into the nearest Guling Town.

The latest enemy movement sent from Jishui County was that Hongzhou Kuangfu's army was encircling and attacking Jishui County. Zhu Lingxu showed up in front of the formation, but failed to persuade him to surrender. Instead, he was despised and humiliated by the defender Zhao Rushu. Zhu Lingxu was furious and ordered Kuangfu's army to join forces.

Increased the intensity of the attack.

In the main hall, after listening to the frontline battle report with Yan Liulang, Yuan Huaimin, Chen You and other Jiangzhou officials, Ouyang Rong remained silent and walked out of the door.

The light on the corridor is dim, and in the evening, lanterns are hung high on the edge of the corridor.

It's just that it's just getting dark, and the government officials in Jiangzhou's lobby haven't come over to light the lamps yet.

Ouyang Rong walked through the corridor and went to the stable to lead Dongmei.

The next value returns to the Huaiye Lane mansion.

There are other officials on duty at Jiangzhou Hall today, so there is no need for Ouyang Rong to stay here all the time.

He went back a little early today.

The latest pieces of frontline intelligence just now are actually from a day ago.

So now, the hurried reinforcements led by Wang Lengran should have arrived at Guling Town.

Ouyang Rong pursed his lips. This is the limitation and inconvenience of this era:

The transmission of messages is slow.

There were no radios or telegraphs to convey the latest military information.

From what Ouyang Rong knew so far, extraordinary powers such as Qi Refining did not fundamentally change productivity, thereby affecting the feudal system and war patterns.

This also leads to the so-called situation where the general is outside and the emperor's orders are not accepted.

Even if you have the heart of a micro-manipulation master, you don't have this opportunity to display it. At most, you can send a eunuch to supervise the army and be responsible for helping you carry out this unfinished troublemaking business. Otherwise, the only option is to conquer it personally.

However, there are still a small number of emperors who like to study abroad.

So Ouyang Rong, who was worried about Zhongzhong, sent his junior sister.

She is a qigong practitioner. She rushes hard and jumps several feet. She rushes fast enough.

If there is an emergency such as a defeat on the Jishui front line, she can also send the message back as soon as possible, which is much faster than ordinary messengers, at least half a day of lag time is shortened.

Ouyang Rong is quite relieved about his junior sister.

This can prevent Guo from being caught off guard by taking advantage of the time difference and information gap as he did that night when Guo Yu falsely spread the news.

It was useless to think too much, so Ouyang Rong returned to the Huaiye Lane mansion.

After dinner and resting in the study for a while, he went out under the stars and the moon and went to Prince Xunyang's Mansion as usual.

Recently, he has been going there once a day.

Xunyang Prince's Mansion, inside the Zhulin Study Room.

Everyone gathered.

"The emperor's brother has sent another message."

Li Xian smiled at Ouyang Rong and others:

"In addition to talking about the affairs of the court, the end of the letter mentioned the matter of the full moon of the newborn son. The prime minister's palace held a full moon banquet, and even the mother emperor, who was raising her heart in Shangyang Palace, came in person to entertain her grandson."

He couldn't help but sigh:

"Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for many years. The older nephews don't know if they still remember this uncle of mine. Life flies by so fast.

"Mei Niang, prepare a gift for Bao'er tomorrow, and the elder will also prepare a gift. We are cousins, so we can't break our friendship."

Li Xian warned carefully.

Li Guo'er and Li Dalang looked at each other and nodded.

The junior sister was not here, so Ouyang Rong ate a pear and listened.

Wei Mei hummed from the side:

"The little emperor's uncle has been living happily in the capital these years. My mother-in-law still loves him. No matter how hard she is confined to the palace, she still stays with her. It's not like our family, who was relegated to the south to endure hardships...

"Qilang, when we were in Longcheng before, why didn't we see him writing every day? He didn't always send a letter during the holidays. Now it's better. I talk to you every day to talk about old times..."

Li Xian looked troubled and explained:

"Isn't that to be demoted to a commoner? It is easy to implicate each other. Changle and the emperor's brother actually have difficulties. It is difficult to talk about it in Luoyang. Besides, on Guo'er's birthday, they are uncles and aunts, and they have to give gifts again and again. Mei Niang

I mean, what happened in the past is in the past, so why bring it up? Look forward and relax..."

"You have a broad heart." Wei Mei curled her lips: "But maybe people have a narrow heart and have many eyes."

Li Xian suddenly looked a little embarrassed:

"Actually... In fact, the emperor's younger brother is also looking forward to my return to the capital soon, so that we can be reunited by then. It may not be what we guessed in the worst direction...

"This time when the emperor's brother mentioned his nephew's full moon party, he also discussed some ways in the letter to help us return to Beijing."

Li Guo'er first glanced at Ouyang Rong, who was surprisingly calm, then withdrew his gaze and suddenly interrupted and asked:

"What did the emperor say?"

"Taking advantage of the Guizhou and Hongzhou rebellions, the emperor's younger brother said that if he wins the position of chief military officer of Jiangzhou Road and successfully quells the rebellion, then he and Chang Le will be able to work together in front of the emperor.

Jin Yan, please ask the Queen Mother to take our family back, there is a great chance...The Emperor's brother still misses us."

"Mind thoughts?" Wei Mei sneered:

"I'm afraid that they will take advantage of the victory to take out the Wei family too, and we won't have time to react. By then, my brother-in-law's prestige will be at its peak, and you won't be able to compare with my elder brother. Even if the emperor begged for mercy and let us return to the capital, he would

How can Qilang defeat him?"

Everyone fell silent immediately.

Seeing that Ouyang Rong remained silent, Li Guoer had no choice but to remind:

"Father, don't forget why grandma kept us, and why she started to use us now. The Liwei battle is not broken. The two sides are fighting fiercely but they can't do anything to each other. This is the best. Father, you can

To the benefit of the left and right, they all have to win over us.

"Although Mr. Wei deserves to die and still wants to swallow the elephant, the more this happens, the more generous we must be in front of grandma. We can't express too many likes and dislikes to both parties, let alone completely fall to either side."

Li Xian sighed when he heard the words.

His wife and daughter are strong, and after analyzing the pros and cons and teaching them lessons, he couldn't refute it, and was a little embarrassed.

At this time, Li Dalang calmly interjected and smiled:

"The relationship between relatives and blood is always there. My father is very affectionate, and it is difficult to let go of it for a while... But my sister and my mother, what you said makes sense. My father, family ties are also far and near. Some words are for us.

Hello, you still have to listen.

"Let's see, when my cousin is born, the gifts must be given as usual, and the best ones must be given. The relationship with the Prime Minister's Palace cannot be broken, but Father, you must take out every letter sent by the Emperor's uncle in the future.

Let Tanlang and us take a look, and we will give you some advice.

"Last time, the traitor falsely spread the news. The emperor's uncle did have some negligence. He may not have any malicious intentions, but it is inevitable that he will be instigated by poisonous people. We must take precautions."

Li Xian looked around and saw that everyone agreed with this statement. He had no choice but to nod and let his wife, children, and advisors make the decision.

Ouyang Rong finished eating the pears, wiped his hands, and finally said:

"What Dalang said makes sense."

Li Guoer frowned:

"If you look at it this way, it wouldn't be good if someone from the Prime Minister's Palace takes over the position of Chief Military Officer of Jiangzhou Road..."

Ouyang Rong:

"Actually, the one who should worry most about this kind of thing is not us, but His Majesty. How could His Majesty not be able to see the thoughts of both sides of the court? Her bottom line is that both sides can fight without defeat.

"There is too little we can do to intervene, so just wait patiently. If your guess is correct, you may end up choosing a relatively neutral general who has a good relationship with both parties, or who is not familiar with them."

Everyone's eyes lit up and they felt relaxed.

"What Tanlang said makes sense."

After a while, the discussion was over and everyone left one after another.

Ouyang Ronglongxiu was walking on the way back.

Having spent a lot of time with Li Xian recently, he gradually came to know some past details that were easily overlooked.

The relationship between Emperor Qian Gaozong and Queen Wei was actually very loving.

Although people like to talk about some unofficial histories.
