Pinghan Road, Hanzhou City

Mu Yun Longyou and Nalan Tingye got together again. Apart from them, there was only Alenge standing quietly aside in the huge meeting hall.

These three people can be called the Dayan Trio, and they are the ones Mu Yun Canglan has deep faith in.

Although Mu Yun Longyou is the one who really has the final say on Ping Han Dao, Nalan Tingye is responsible for all daily affairs, big and small, and he doesn't care at all.

As long as these two people get together, it means there must be important matters to discuss.

Mu Yun Longyou was just invited by Nalan Tingye in a hurry. He looked at Nalan Tingye with a puzzled look and asked:

"What's the urgent matter that makes me come here in such a hurry?"

"Your Majesty, please have a moment." Nalan Tingye waved his hand gently:

"Alenge, tell the prince about the current situation."

The confusion on Mu Yun Longyou's face became more and more intense. Judging from Nalan Tingye's expression, it must be something big.

"promise!"

Alenge bowed slightly, stepped forward slowly, took out a letter from his sleeves and read in a deep voice:

"According to the frontline military report, in the past month and a half, four Biao scouts from Yan Zhang's unit have been intercepted and killed while out on patrol, with a total loss of 147 people, and no one survived.

Judging from the traces at the scene, it is concluded that it was done by the Long Army. As for what the Long Army intended to do, it is still unclear.

Five days ago, hundreds of soldiers under the Yan family moved to the defense and encountered Long Army scouts. The two sides fought a fierce battle, causing damage to each other. The current situation is relatively stable.

From Tianning Road to Jiaodong Road, there are rumors among the people that Liang and Long have secretly negotiated peace, and that Duguxin, who is stationed in Jiaodong, will send troops to Tianning Road to regain the lost territory."

"Is there such a thing?"

Mu Yun Longyou's face suddenly turned cold: "The scout was intercepted and killed, is the Long Army going to regain the lost ground?

We have an alliance with the Long Dynasty."

When Mu Yun Longyou heard the news, he felt it was extremely absurd and nothing short of a fantasy.

Alenge smiled bitterly and said:

"Your Majesty, this is already a pretty reliable rumor. What's more, it is said that Liang, Long, and Wu have ceased fighting and are preparing to join forces to deal with me, Dayan. The people are spreading the news, but I don't know where it comes from.

.”

"Hmph~"

Mu Yun Longyou snorted coldly: "These ignorant common people only know how to talk, how can their words be used as evidence?"

Lianglong, Wu, three parties join forces? Even if the King of Heaven comes, Mu Yun Longyou will not believe in this alliance.

"Ahem." Nalan Tingye lowered his voice and said:

"Your Majesty, I wonder if our alliance with the Yuwen clan is still valid? Is there anyone on your Majesty's side..."

Nalan Tingye didn't explain everything clearly. His main concern was that they didn't know what decisions had been made by the imperial government.

Mu Yun Longyou naturally understood what he meant and shook his head affirmatively:

"I can guarantee you that the covenant will remain as usual!"

Mu Yun Longyou is Mu Yun Canglan's younger brother. If there are any secret decisions in the imperial account, he will definitely know about them if others don't know about them.

After receiving the affirmative answer, Nalan Tingye was completely relieved and murmured:

"So, Long Jun is actively provoking trouble?"

"It shouldn't be~"

Mu Yun Longyou said in confusion: "Prince Liang is arrogant and has always disliked Yuwen Xingchen. They also have the hatred of killing their father, so there is no way they can negotiate peace with the Long army.

The main force of the Long Army was dragged to Jiangnan and Gyeonggi Road respectively. The garrison on Jiaodong Road was their weakest link. There was no reason to take the initiative to attack us.

There is a war on three sides, and they are all strong opponents. Yuwen Xingchen is not stupid enough to be like this, is he?"

The Long Army only had so many troops on hand and could not support such a large-scale war.

Before the two of them could speak, Mu Yun Longyou shook his head:

"Misunderstanding, I think it is most likely a misunderstanding.

It was just friction between a small group of scouts. Maybe the frontline soldiers didn't open their eyes for a while and killed someone.

The rumors among the people are probably that the Liang army or the Wu army did it deliberately to distract our army and the Long army."

Mu Yun Longyou's mind was very clear. He knew that there was currently no reason for the war between Yan and Long.

"I'm afraid it's not the small friction that the prince said."

Nalan Tingye smiled bitterly:

"Judging from the latest news, the Long Army has dispatched some soldiers from the capital and rushed to the border of Jiaodong Road. The specific strength of the troops is unknown.

Dugu Xin, who is stationed in Jiaodong, is also raising food and fodder and rushing to make ordnance. He is completely preparing for war."

"More troops have been added? Is the news accurate?"

“Exactly right!”

Nalan Tingye nodded affirmatively and said:

"This is from our spies hidden deep in the capital. The garrison in the capital left the city in the middle of the night, avoiding everyone's eyes.

If our people hadn't hidden so deeply, we really wouldn't have discovered it."

"Then it deserves our careful treatment~"

Mu Yun Longyou's expression finally became serious, and he realized that things were not as simple as he thought.

"Not only is the Long Army increasing its troops, but our army is also increasing its troops."

Nalan Tingye's expression was a little strange:

"Yan Zhang's 20,000 elite infantrymen have already set out to set up defenses along the Tianning Road border."

"Huh? Yan Zhang has also mobilized his troops?"

Mu Yun Longyou was stunned for a moment: "Why didn't Yan Zhang inform us in advance?"

Nalan Tingye shook his head:

"No military report has been sent over. It was not until yesterday when all 20,000 troops and horses were deployed that he sent someone to inform us."

"This Yan Zhang actually mobilized troops without permission."

Mu Yun Longyou had a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

Although Yan Zhang has the right to act expeditiously in Tianning Road, Hanzhou must be informed of the large-scale mobilization of troops. Now Yan Zhang's move is a bit beyond the rules.

"We can let go of Yan Zhang's private deployment of troops for now." Nalan Tingye said softly:

"My lord, don't you think this is weird? In just one or two months, the front lines of Tianning Road have become tense. It's completely unreasonable.

Just like what the prince said, I, Dayan, have occupied two lands, and the Long Army has also given us countless gold and silver finances, which is enough for now.

Long Chao also needs to free up its hands to deal with Zhou Jiaqing in Jiangnan. Neither of us has a reason to open a new front.

But they are all sending more troops to the front lines."

"It's very weird."

Mu Yun Longyou nodded, at least he was confused now.

Nalan Tingye continued:

"The Long Army even moved the soldiers and horses in the capital, which shows that they are serious and must be preparing for a big war.

Relying on tens of thousands of Gyeonggi garrison troops and the mob in Jiaodong Road to regain Tianning Road and Pinghan Road is tantamount to wishful thinking, and Duguxin will not fail to understand the strength gap between us."

"Anthracene."

Mu Yun Longyou nodded again. The 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers and horses stationed on Jiaodong Road can defend the city, but in the field battle outside the city, the Yan army's cavalry can defeat them in one battle. Mu Yun Longyou is still confident about this, and his black silver

The lion flag is not just a showpiece.

"Since there are not enough troops and they are secretly preparing to start a war, it means that the Long Army still has a backup plan~" Nalan Tingye's mind was spinning rapidly:

"The soldiers and horses of Gyeonggi Province have to guard against Liang's army. They will definitely not move, let alone mobilize troops from all the way from the south of the Yangtze River.
