The governor, as the highest administrative head of a state, is absolutely of high authority in the local area, and there are less than twenty governors in Nan Zhao. Therefore, it is not impossible to call them local emperors. Of course, these are just private jokes.

Seeing the conspicuous expression on the face of the governor, Qing Yan waved his hand, "Mr. Cai doesn't have to do this. This time, I will not enter Guangfeng City as an imperial envoy, but as the commander of the first army, and will be investigated and reported and the enemy situation in the government office as quickly as possible, so I can only appreciate the kindness of Lord Cai."

Seeing this, Cai Ke had no choice but to give up and then ordered a minor official beside him: "General Zhao must have been exhausted when traveling a long distance, so he didn't quickly arrange a banquet to welcome the general."

"No need to do this. I will go to inspect the city defense first, and lunch will be used in the camp." After that, Qingyan walked out with great strides.

After bowing and looking at the young prince's back, Cai Ke said nothing.

"This prince is so ignorant. He is the governor of Yuezhou. He refused to treat him like this. He would rather eat in the army than...."

"Bang."

Before the man could finish complaining, he had already been slapped heavily in the face.

"If you don't want to live, die quickly, but don't take your official as a cushion. No matter whether the prince is shoulder to shoulder or not, he will come to save us from water and fire. What's the turn to do if you say three to four!" Cai Ke slapped the other party and scolded in a low voice.

The man quickly kowtowed and apologized.

After a moment, Cai Ke's anger subsided a lot and he said lightly: "Ma Cheng, although you are the one who is my official, we are still a family in the final analysis. If your words just came to the ears of those who are interested, not only you and me, but also your sister will be greatly implicated, do you know?"

"The villain understands, but the villain knows his mistake."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When he arrived at the west wall, Qingyan stood in front of the chassis and looked into the distance.

I saw mountains spread around Guangfeng City, and the flat terrain was basically impossible to see. Although it is easy to defend and difficult to attack when building a city on Guangfeng Mountain, it is even more difficult to pursue the traces of mountains.

As the Yulin Army of the Rongwei Capital, there are very few who have truly experienced mountain combat, not to mention that the opponent is the Shanyue tribe who has been thriving in the deep mountains for many years. That night at the battle of Luoxi Lake, Qingyan saw the fierceness of Shanyue. It is no exaggeration to describe each other's individual combat capabilities as one against three. Now he has reached the territory where the enemy is good at fighting. It seems that it is not easy to quell this rebellion.

Thinking of completely quelling the rebellion, Qingyan's mind was reminded of the conversation he had with Shi Tianci yesterday.

Both of them believed that there were only two ways to completely defeat the enemy when the troops were not superior.

One of them is to lead the snake out of the cave, lift the main force of Shanyue out of the mountains, and use the strengths of the Southern Zhao army to use the formation to fight against it.

The second is even simpler and more rude. If you look for an opportunity to capture or kill Na Sha Tengning, you will capture the thief and first capture the king.

Even though these two methods are very different, both of them think that the success rate is very small and basically impossible.

.     "General, the defense has been changed." Bai Yi walked to Qingyan silently.

"Uncle Bai, when do you think these mountain-Morning Barbarians will attack the city again?" Qing Yan looked at the mountains.

"Not three days."

Qingyan turned around and smiled, "Oh? How did you see it?"

Bai Yi said concisely and to the point, "food."

"Uncle Bai is indeed the same as I thought. I think Shanyue will definitely take action within three days."

It was already sunset when I returned to the government office. This time, Qingyan did not refuse Cai Ke's kind invitation and came to his residence for a banquet.

"General, because our Guangfeng City has been besieged for many days, the whole city can only rely on the food stored in the warehouse to maintain it, so there are not many delicious foods on the table. I hope you won't be surprised." After Cai Ke stood up, he raised his glass respectfully to Qingyan.

"I have already felt the intention of Lord Cai. As you said, now it is time for the two armies to fight. If it is too extravagant, it will be thrust by the people of Yuezhou." Qing Yan gently touched the wine glass in his hand with the other party.

"A general is worried about the country and the people and sets an example. He is worthy of being a model of civil and military affairs in Southern Zhao. In the future, he will become the pillar of the protection of the country like a king who will stand shoulder to shoulder."

"Mr. Cai's words are too despised by me. Even if there are another hundred years, I will not be as in the same way as my father."

"Who can tell you clearly about the future? Come on, I'll give you another cup of wine."

"Dry!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lying in the bedroom in the backyard of the government office, Qingyan no longer had the same drunkenness as before, but looked at the roof with clear eyes.

Because mysteries linger in my heart all the time.

Shanyue has a force of 50,000, which is nearly twice that of our own. In the ten-day attack on Guangfeng City, it will definitely break through the city wall in less than two days. But why did they retreat into the deep mountains when they were about to reach Guangfeng City?

If you set up camp a distance away from your side, with the strong morale, you may seriously damage or even defeat your tired army.

The most important thing is that when I learned in detail about the Guangfeng defense battle, I found that even at the beginning of the battle, there were only 3,000 soldiers in the city. Even if Guangfeng City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it would never have been broken for ten days.

At this time, I remembered what Su Ji said before going to the war. Everything seemed to attach a layer of gauze to this Shanyue Rebellion. It could vaguely see its outline, but it could not grasp the true image.

My heart was so irritating that Qingyan couldn't help but toss and turn.

"Why are you worried about leading the army for the first time?"

Suddenly, the voice of a second person was remembered in the bedroom, which made Qingyan jump out of the bed in an instant.

But the moment he jumped, the tension in his heart disappeared.

"Uncle, I am your nephew. If you really scare me something, aren't you afraid that my grandfather and the old man will deal with you?" Qingyan sighed helplessly when he sat back on the couch.

"Isn't this a long time since I've seen you for many days, I just want to tease you." Qin Qiushui, who suddenly appeared, leaned against the wall casually, "By the way, you kid has just been on the bed and sighed like this. Is it a difficult thing to do?"

"It's not because I'm nervous, but because I always feel that it's not simple behind the Shanyue rebellion, but I can't think of any reason for it for a while." Qingyan rubbed his face.

Qin Qiushui looked playful, "You are just a deputy general. I think there is any conspiracy behind this. Is it not much to do with you? You are just eating salty radish and worrying about it."

"After that being said, I, Nan Zhao Zimin, died in every battle. If my father was in this position, he would definitely find ways to find out what was going on."

"Since my good nephew is so eager to know some news, then my uncle is just in his hands now. Do you want to know?"

Hearing this, Qingyan was instantly happy and quickly walked to Qin Qiushui and asked anxiously: "Uncle, do you know why Shanyue rebelled?"

Qin Qiushui waved his hand, "You general Huaihua is not clear about this issue, and I, a man from the martial arts world, don't know much more about this."

Seeing that Qingyan was a little disappointed, Qin Qiushui smiled and said, "But I know why Shanyue avoided the edge and retreated into the mountains today."

"Uncle is serious about this?"

"Do you know who is the third wife of the governor of Yuezhou?" Qin Qiushui suddenly made up for an unrelated question.

Qingyan knew that there must be a deep meaning behind this question, and then replied: "What uncle meant is Cai Ke's third wife, is it related to Shan Yue?"

"Yes, Cai Ke's third wife is the number one warrior in Shanyue, Sha Hu's sister!" Qin Qiushui then smiled: "Now it should be called Death Tiger's sister, right?"

Qingyan didn't know when he learned that Sha Hu was killed by him, but he also knew that the point of the problem was not here. "If it was really as my uncle said, then Cai Ke would never be as simple as it seemed."

"I don't know that you Lord Cai is not simple, but I am 90% sure that the person surnamed Cai does not know the identity of his wife."

Qingyan pondered for a moment, then hesitated: "Uncle, my nephew has no intention of questioning you at all, but he still has to ask, where did you find out about this news?"

"This is a long story. I'll pour you a cup of tea for your uncle first."

Six days ago, the news that Qing Yan went to Yuezhou to suppress the rebellion reached Taohua Valley. After discussion, the Qin family father and son decided to go and take a look. Although it was believed that there was Bai Yi's personal body guard beside him, he did not have three heads and six arms after all, and the battle between tens of thousands of people could not completely guarantee Qing Yan's safety.

Qin Qiushui ran all the way and found the tail of the army to suppress the rebellion three days ago. Then he carefully observed Qingyan. When he was camping, he heard the whole story of the battle at Luoxi Lake and learned that the army's destination was Guangfeng City.

Seeing that Qingyan was very safe, Qin Qiushui decided to go to Guangfeng City to inquire about information for his nephew. When he sneaked into Cai Ke's mansion, he found a stinger wearing an official uniform sneaking into the yard of Mrs. Cai Ke San.

I originally thought it was just a shameful thing, but I didn't expect that the little official walked out sneakily after entering the yard for a few sucks, which made Qin Qiushui feel very strange.

Then Qin Qiushui followed the little official out of the mansion and came to an extremely hidden and dilapidated thatched hut. The little official came to the back of the hut with ease and took out a pigeon cage from the thatched hut in the corner of the wall.

Then the little official took out something from his arms and fiddled with it on the pigeon for a moment, spread his arms and let it fly.

Of course, an ordinary carrier pigeon could not defeat the young master of Peach Blossom Valley. Qin Qiushui grabbed the pigeon and opened the secret letter tied to the pigeon's legs. Then he found out that Cai Ke's third wife was Sha Hu's sister. The content of the letter said that his brother was killed, so he did not need to lurk around Cai Ke.

Qin Qiushui felt that the information found this time should be very important, so he kept lurking in Guangfeng City and waiting for Qingyan. Unexpectedly, Qingyan was sent to Guangfeng City by coincidence as a general stationed in the city.

After understanding the whole story clearly, Qingyan sat on the chair and pondered.

When he just went to Cai Ke's house to attend the banquet, the second wife also came out to say hello to him. She also heard Cai Ke say that she had another room, but she did not meet the guests because of her physical discomfort. Since the person did not escape from Guangfeng City and chose to stay, she must have a backup plan.

"Uncle, this news is of great importance. It seems that it has helped me unintentionally." Qingyan shook his sore neck.

"I've never been interested in these conspiracies, so what should I do next is your business."
