From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 964

The candlelight flickered, and the light in the room seemed a little dim. There was a strong wind outside, and the windows seemed to be shaking.

The heavy snow had stopped long ago, but the evil wind had been blowing non-stop in the past few days. Liu Daguang's injuries had almost healed, but on such a cold day, he could only stay in bed.

Zhou Yuan sat aside and flipped through a book, and said at the same time: "Song Wu has returned from Jiangjie and completely controlled the area west of the Changjin River."

"This kid is very talented, smart, and willing to endure hardships. He has made too much progress in the past few years."

These words made Liu Daguang a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said: "He has made rapid progress over there, but I have made a mess here at the beginning, and I have to clean up the mess with the general. I am really ashamed."

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said: "You can't say that. He started from a higher point than you. He has been influenced by famous teachers since he was a child. It is normal that his potential is greater than yours."

"You A man in his forties, and this is his first expedition, it's good to be able to run with the troops like this."

Liu Daguang said: "When my subordinates recover from their injuries, I will definitely get back at them."

Zhou Yuan said: "I can't wait for you, Daguang, you should stay in Dingzhou and recover from your injuries. We have to go south to attack Pyongyang first."

"Now the battle between the island bandits and the Kim Dynasty has entered a white-hot stage, and I'm afraid the outcome will be decided soon."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the island bandits will win a big victory, and we can't give them time to gain a foothold."

Liu Daguang's face flushed, and he opened his mouth, but didn't dare to speak.

Zhou Yuan said: "Don't worry that your subordinates will not have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. I plan to let Song Wu temporarily serve as the commander-in-chief of the Yongxiao Camp, but I am afraid that you will think too much, so I came here to tell you."

Liu Daguang hurriedly said: "General Jie, you are too kind. After all, the entire Beijing Camp is your soldiers. You can make all the arrangements. We dare not complain about the grievances."

At this point, Liu Daguang smiled and said: "Besides, none of us disobeys General Song. After all, he is the only descendant of the Duke of Zhenguo."

"To be honest, the person our generation of soldiers admires the most is the old Duke. After the defense of Shenjing, the old Duke died, and I even wanted to write a poem for him."

"Only Unfortunately, I am a rough man, and it is good enough that I can barely read, let alone write poems. "

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "You are self-aware, but you are now the commander-in-chief of the Yongxiao Camp, you should learn to read and write, otherwise what will you do on the ever-changing battlefield?"

Liu Daguang nodded and said: "What the commander said is right, I will arrange to learn it immediately!"

Zhou Yuan wrote a poem and handed it to Liu Daguang, saying: "This is what I wrote for the old Duke, the words are very simple, you can learn to write it."

Liu Daguang propped himself up and took a look, muttering: "Life has been since ancient times..."

"Daguang!"

Zhou Yuan suddenly shouted.

Liu Daguang said, "Sir, what's wrong?"

Zhou Yuan said, "When I was deeply involved in the assassination case and had nowhere to go, you took the risk of killing my whole family and brought two hundred confidants to send my family to Mount Zhongnan."

"In my heart, I treat you as my own brother. Don't be jealous of the adjustment of the deployment of troops this time. You should open your mind."

Hearing this, Liu Daguang's eyes turned red, and he immediately shouted, "Boss! We are all from the Wucheng Bingmasi! So many years of friendship! I will never be so narrow-minded!"

This time, he vowed to do something big to prove himself, but he didn't expect to step into a trap. Facing the temporary loss of the command of the Yongxiao Battalion, he was still a little sad.

But Zhou Yuan's words were too heavy, making his eyes hot, and he no longer felt a little aggrieved.

Zhou Yuan patted his shoulder and said, "Take good care of your injuries and study hard. We will have big battles to fight in the future."

"I understand!"

Liu Daguang roared.

…

It was December 12, and the Yongxiao Camp and Wuyao Camp had assembled, ready for battle.

So they set out south that day, and continued southward after reaching Anzhou, and finally arrived outside Pyongyang on the night of December 14.

Twenty thousand soldiers set up camp thirty miles outside the city and slowly rested.

And Zhou Yuan finally received the information from the divine bird.

"Park Jeong-won replied and agreed to negotiate with the lord eight hundred steps outside the north gate."

"But Pyongyang has been frantically preparing for war these days, and is fully prepared to defend the city."

"If we really have to fight, it is estimated that only a few of the 20,000 defenders in Pyongyang will survive."

"Virgin sister, I hope my negotiation with Park Jeong-won tomorrow will go smoothly."

Zhou Yuan touched the back of her head and continued, "I want to keep these 20,000 people for you as a team. Pyongyang is also a relatively influential city. If Park Jeong-won can still be used by you, then..."Li Yu'an took two sips of tea, then let out a long breath and said, "Of course I prefer not to fight. These soldiers are all from my Goryeo. If your Wuyao Battalion and Yongxiao Battalion use all their strength, I'm afraid there will be countless casualties."

Zhou Yuan said, "I have thought about many directions, but I haven't found a suitable excuse. We will meet at noon tomorrow. I guess I won't sleep tonight. Think carefully."

Li Yu'an rushed over, hugged Zhou Yuan, and wanted to kiss him.

Zhou Yuan was startled and said quickly: "Good sister, spare me, I will tell you a secret, I guarantee you will be interested."

Li Yu'an narrowed her eyes and said: "Speak! Otherwise, I will let you taste my power"

Zhou Yuan said: "When I was in Xiangzhou, I got drunk one day and wrote several letters to Zhongnan Mountain, including one to my master."

"I vaguely remember that the content of the letter was very explosive..."

Li Yu'an immediately became interested, and her gossipy heart could not be stopped, and hurriedly said: "You are a traitor! You started writing letters to her at that time!"

"Tell me how explosive your writing is!"

Zhou Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "I can't remember..."

Li Yu'an lifted the eyebrows, and said: "Are you kidding me?"

Zhou Yuan said: "I really can't remember! I swear! I wrote it when I was drunk! Guan Lu, that stupid guy, had already sent it out before I woke up."

"But the master didn't mention it at all later, and I didn't dare to ask, so it just passed."

Li Yu'an let him go, stood up and said: "In this case, then I will ask in person!"

After speaking, she suddenly grabbed Zhou Yuan's ear and gritted her teeth and said: "You also owe me something! Don't forget it!"

"Oh, it hurts... Be gentle..."

Zhou Yuan said: "I remember, you have more patience, wait a while."

Li Yu'an stopped laughing.

She looked at the man in front of her and said softly: "Okay, I'll wait for that day."
