137. Chapter 137(1/2)
Yanzhou.
In just over a month, the old enemy Zhou Qun first came, and then the Zhou Qun's alliance.
Yanzhou was attacked by large troops twice.
Qiao Ping led Qiao Ci and a group of family generals, and set up their formations and fought with all their might.
For the first time, Zhou Qun was defeated and was defeated.
The military and civilians in Yanzhou had just breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhou Qun actually rectified his troops again and launched an invasion.
This time he won the coalition forces, and his momentum was even greater than the previous time. He rushed straight to the giant world of Yanzhou, and he was in a state of never giving up until he destroyed Yanzhou.
At that time, Qiao Yue was very frightened and believed that Yanzhou would never be able to repel the invaders by chance like last time.
After discussing with his adviser Zhang Pu and others, he proposed to follow the trend and surrender to Xingxun in exchange for peace.
Fortunately, Xun was the emperor last year and established a title of Jiang. He issued an edict to the nine states in the world and ordered the princes and governors from all over the country to worship him.
There were few responders at that time.
Some of the princes and governors of the world were afraid of their power, some were judging the situation, and some had other plans.
Therefore, no one raised the flag and spoke out against it. But no one was willing to respond openly, for fear of being a traitor.
The same is true in Yanzhou.
But the situation has developed rapidly, to this point.
Qiao Yue finally couldn't withstand the pressure and made this decision.
Of course, it was strongly opposed by Qiao Ping.
In Yanzhou, Qiao Ping is now more prestige than his past, and his family will follow his orders more.
Qiao Yue had a dispute, and Qiao Ping told him that he knew the green-eyed general in Lingbi, and the other party was willing to lead troops to fight.
Qiao Yue was half-believing and half-doubted, so he could only give up.
After several chaos, it was finally yesterday that Zhou Qun's army was completely defeated, but Zhou Qun himself also died in the chaos. It is expected that in the short term, Xun should be unable to launch another attack on Yanzhou.
The military and civilians in Yanzhou are all proud.
If you talk about credit, the first thing you should be the Green Eye General.
Among thousands of troops, if you enter and exit a land without a man.
The reason why Zhou Qun, a long-time enemy in Yanzhou, was that when he was defeated, he was intercepted by General Green-Eyed and finally killed him.
If he had not supported this battle, it would be even more impossible to achieve such brilliant victory.
The military and civilians of Yanzhou all spread the name of General Green-Eyed on the battlefield, hoping to see his charm through triumph.
...
The day when Qiao Ping and his son returned from Juye, they rode into the city on horseback and were welcomed by the people.
But the people were disappointed when they did not see the rumored green-eyed general walking with them.
Qiao Yue led his men to welcome Qiao Ping to triumphantly in front of the mansion.
There was a smile on his face.
But the smile looks a bit reluctant.
When he took Qiao Ping into the mansion, Qiao Yue asked, "Why didn't that green-eyed general come to the city with you today? I have heard of this person before. Although he started his career as a refugee and had a relatively low background, the so-called hero does not ask where he comes from. This time, I, Yanzhou, received his help, and I should thank him personally."
Qiao Ping asked Qiao Yue to enter the study room, stepped back and said, "I was about to talk about this with my brother. To be honest, General Green-Eyed is not an outsider. My brother also knows him."
Qiao Yue was puzzled: "Who?"
"It's a pig."
Qiao Yue didn't react at first, and looked puzzled: "Who is Bi Tong?"
He paused for a moment, and suddenly, as if he had thought about it, his eyes suddenly widened, and he showed an incredible look: "Are you talking about the Manubi Bishe, the family who seduced my daughter that day?"
Qiao Ping nodded: "That's right."
Qiao Yue froze.
"Bitou is now outside the city gate. He wants to see his brother and apologize for his guilt."
Seeing Qiao Yue silent, he advised, "Brother said just now that the hero does not ask the source. Bi Tong shouldn't take my niece away from home in private. The two of them became husband and wife without their parents' permission, and they were incompatible with human ethics and laws. But he was in love with his niece, which was a helpless move at that time. What's more, now, not only has a son, but also adds a grandson for your elder brother, but he is also different from the past. He has respected his troops and helped our Yanzhou in danger several times. I hope that my elder brother will abandon his past grudges and accept him. In this way, it is a blessing for my Qiao family and a blessing for Yanzhou!"
"His he helped Yanzhou several times?"
"In the past, Xue Tai attacked Yanzhou and the two armies lined up in Juye. When Ci'er was in danger in front of the formation, he showed up in time and rescued him. Ci'er escaped by chance. At that time, I didn't know that my benefactor was Bishu. Later I found out that because it was inconvenient to explain, I did not report to my brother in time. I hope my brother will not blame him."
Qiao Yue felt upset.
This sudden news made him feel at a loss.
The lowly Ma slave who made him want to catch the ashes every time he remembered that day, he had soared into the sky, transformed himself into a transformation, and returned to him with the appearance of his benefactor in Yanzhou.
From a rational point of view, he knew that Qiao Ping was right.
Born in troubled times, the more you help nature, the better.
What's more, with the current strength of that Ma Nu, it is indeed worth winning over.
But he felt extremely frustrated to let him accept such a person who was originally his slave as his son-in-law.
Seeing that Qiao Ping seemed to be trying to persuade him again, he shook his hand in annoyance: "You must be tired, go and have a good rest first. Let me think about this matter again."
Qiao Pingzhi's news shocked him a lot, and he stopped forcing him and took his leave.
As soon as Qiao Ping left, Qiao Yue immediately called Zhang Pu, said everything he had just learned, frowned and said, "What do you think should be? Do you agree with this gimbal or not?"
Zhang Pu was also surprised. After sighing for a few words, he pondered for a while and said, "There is a saying, "I wonder if the lord is tolerant of me?"
"Just say it!"
Zhang Pu opened the door and watched, and saw that there was no one, so he closed the door tightly. Fang turned around and whispered: "In my opinion, this lord must not be introduced to Yanzhou!"
"How do you say this?"
"The lord was originally the lord of Yanzhou and his status was respected. During the past two or three years, when talking about Yanzhou, everyone only knew the name of Qiao Ping, the Duke of Dongjun County, and who mentioned it? Even the people of Yanzhou are in 100, and whenever they encounter problems, they must first think of the Duke of the County. The lord is kind, valued brotherhood, and does not care about the reputation of the world. However, I am deeply worried about the lord. If this continues, the lord is afraid that his status will not be guaranteed!"
Qiao Yue's face was strange and he didn't say a word.
"It's not that I'm too concerned, but that there are clues to follow. The lord should still remember that when the daughter returned to Dongjun, the county duke refused to recruit soldiers and horses despite the lord's opposition. What's the intention? The county duke said in front of the lord that it was to force to resist foreign aggression. In my opinion, the county duke's intention was probably far from being as simple as resisting foreign aggression. Now that the effect has begun to appear, the county duke introduced Bi Ti back. I just heard the lord's words, it is not difficult to know that the county duke had had some private contact with Bi Ti Ti. Although Bi Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti Ti
Zhang Pu's words touched the unspeakable heart disease that Qiao Yue had buried in his heart for the past few years.
I heard it and broke out in a cold sweat: "Fortunately, I asked you! Otherwise, I would have almost led the wolf into the house! What you said is so true! Bizhu is just a lowly horse slave. How can my Qiao family allow such a son-in-law? My daughter abandoned her father and ancestors, and I have long regarded her as missing. My daughter has gone, so where can I have my son-in-law? Just..."
He stopped.
"Why are the lord frowning?" Zhang Pu observed his expression and expression.
"I thought that my niece married Wei Shao and Yanzhou would have relied on the future. But I didn't expect that Wei Shao was unable to protect himself now, so how could he talk about protecting Yanzhou? My Qiao family and Xingxun had never violated each other. When Xingxun was emperor, the nine states in the world were not my Yanzhou family. He did not fight others and drove Zhou Qun to attack Yanzhou alone, because my Qiao family and Wei Shao had a marriage. My second brother refused to listen to me at that time and completely broke his face with Xingxun. Although he has won two battles by chance, it is not safe for Xingxun to attack in the future. If I don't accept the Bibi, how should Yanzhou deal with it?"
He sighed long: "I wanted to marry the Wei family in the first place, but I didn't want to be implicated and caused trouble now, which made me in a dilemma!"
Zhang Pu said: "The lord is extremely worried. After becoming emperor, Xun Xu sent a powerful army to fight against Wei Shao. Wei Shao was at a disadvantage, and now Xun has obtained the effect of Le Zhenggong, which is even more like a tiger. Although the two sides in the war are in the old path of the Yellow River, the results have not yet come out. However, anyone with eyes knows that Wei Shao's defeat has been decided, and now it is just a forceful attack, and he struggles to force himself!"
Qiao Yue became more and more worried and couldn't sit still. He got up and walked around the room, sighing.
Zhang Pu watched from the side and suddenly said, "The lord doesn't have to be so anxious. Now there is a chance to help the lord turn his disadvantages."
Qiao Yue stopped and turned around and said, "What is an opportunity?"
Zhang Pu quickly arrived at the case and picked up his pen and wrote a few words.
Qiao crossed over and took a look.
"Liu Yan?"
He was very surprised.
"That's right!" Zhang Pu nodded, "The prince of Langya who had been favored by the Qiao family in the past has now been supported by the world ascended the throne. The lord must have heard of it."
Qiao Yue frowned: "I know naturally. So what about it? What does it have to do with me?"
Zhang Pu said with his ears: "To be honest, Liu Yan lived in Dongjun back then, and I was familiar with him. So a few days ago, he sent someone to send me a letter and asked me to transfer it to my lord."
After saying that, in Qiao Yue's surprised gaze, he took out a yellow silk book from his sleeve, respectfully presented it with both hands.
Qiao Yue hurriedly took it, spread it and read it quickly.
My thoughts were so surging that my fingers holding the letters were shaking slightly.
Zhang Pu talked happily: "Xing Xun is notorious and is accused of the emperor. He is not justified and is not right. Sooner or later, the world rises up to attack him. Liu Yan takes over all the right time, place and people. Wen has kings and domineering Dong Cheng, Dou Wu and Deng Xun, all of whom are important officials, Shuo Lao, famous duke and Juqing, Wu has prefects who went to join everywhere. Even Yuan Zhe also supports him as the emperor, with strong soldiers and horses. In this battle of the Yellow River, it will be a ridge of the world's general trend. In the future, Jiuzhou will be divided into two. Xunle will be divided into two. Liu Yan is the master of the righteous Han emperor and will be dominated by the world as the orthodox Emperor of Han. Now, because of Wei Shao, the lord has offended Xun and has no way out. Liu Yan is grateful for his salvation, and he has written a letter to the emperor, with a high official and a generous title, and is waiting for a throne. I just said this was an opportunity, and the lord thought I was wrong?"
Qiao Yue's eyes gradually emitted a strange light, and he walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back excitedly. He suddenly thought about it, stopped suddenly, and hesitated: "But, my second brother..."
"My lord forgot what I said just now? Wei Shao is the son-in-law of the county prince. The county prince secretly excludes the lord, for fear that he would have the intention to replace him. How can the lord still expect the county prince to work together with you?"
Qiao Yue's face looked a little ugly. After a while of excitement, he said, "You know that it is different now. If he didn't nod, his family's generals might not be willing to listen to my advice."
Zhang Pu said: "I have a plan to offer it. The lord can drive Bili away first. This matter must be decided by the lord. Even if the lord is unwilling, he cannot refute it. After driving Bili away, the lord can select his confidants, take advantage of the lord's unpreparedness and control him. He declares that the lord is seriously ill and cannot be in charge of the minister. If the lord has seized the military power in the lord's hands, Yanzhou will be re-owned. If it is wind or rain, isn't the lord's decision alone?"
Qiao Yue hesitated.
