Although Suzhou City is not small, it is not big enough to accommodate all 100,000 troops in the Beijing camp. Therefore, all 100,000 troops brought by Yan Song were camped outside Suzhou City.

Yan Song himself brought his generals into the city and attended a banquet set up by the Suzhou Prefecture.

The prefect of Suzhou was named Liu Xiangfeng, who was transferred to Suzhou only two years ago. However, although he had been in Suzhou for a short time, he owned his own mansion. At the banquet, he also invited the commander of Suzhou Guard Luo Cheng and the guerrilla general Hou Zhang, the Jiayuguan Guerrilla General.

It can be seen that this person has very good skills and communication skills.

As the commander of the 100,000 army, Yan Song was ranked third in the official position, so he took the lead.

During the meal, Liu Xiangfeng, Luo Cheng and Hou Zhang frequently toasted Yan Song with respect. This made Yan Song very useful. He was able to reach his current position and pretended to be his grandson along the way. So Yan Song was very happy to have the opportunity to be an old man.

During the meal, Yan Song briefly asked about the battle situation at the northwest border. Only then did he realize that although Turpan was coming in a fierce manner, he still failed to break through Jiayu Pass in the end.

After that, they retreated and somehow fought with people from their homeland. So the northwest border is still calm for the time being and there is no war.

When Yan Song heard this, he couldn't help but say in his heart: "Good luck."

I was still nervous about whether I could beat the Turpan army, but I didn't expect that there would be internal strife between the enemy and the country.

Such a situation can be said to be blessed by God. When the other party's internal strife is over, he may be seriously injured.

At that time, it was already a matter of whether or not hesitation would be able to continue attacking the northwest border.

If Turpan gave up attacking the northwest border at that time, Yan Song would only need to stay in the northwest border for a little longer, and then he would be able to return to the court and enjoy the triumphant merit with peace of mind.

From then on, he had to ascend to the emperor's court, become the prime minister and join the cabinet, win the favor of the emperor, become the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and reach the peak of his life.

Yan Song and Liu Xiangfeng and others drank several glasses of wine in a good mood, and Liu Xiangfeng and others were naturally with him to the end.

Yan Song had just put down his wine glass. The maid who was serving beside him immediately walked up to pour the wine. While the maid poured the wine for Yan Song, Liu Xiangfeng secretly looked at Yan Song, and then whispered: "Sir, I have something to tell you about."

Yan Song laughed and said proudly: "Mr. Liu must not be so polite. Just say anything. Those who can drink at the same table here are not outsiders."

Yan Song's words were very straightforward to win people's hearts, but as a superior, Liu Xiangfeng and others were quite helpful to him in this way.

Liu Xiangfeng nodded and said, "What the sir is saying," while taking out a letter from his arms.

Liu Xiangfeng handed the letter to Yan Song and said, "Sir, this letter was sent from the capital ten days ago. The person who came was named Qian Juexing, and he was a subordinate of the Taifu. When he handed the letter to Bei Zhi, he specifically told the Lord Bei Zhi and others to come and pass it to you."

"Master Taifu? Jiang Xia?" Yan Song asked.

Liu Xiangfeng nodded, "Yes."

Yan Song held the letter in his hand and opened it in a hurry. Instead, he pondered first, and his eyes turned slightly.

Liu Xiangfeng didn't say anything either.

They are all people who are mingled in the Ming Dynasty officialdom. Who doesn’t know that the court is divided into two major forces now, one is the Jiang faction represented by Jiang Xia and the other is the Yang faction represented by Yang Tinghe.

Although no one thinks there is any holiday between Jiang Xia and Yang Tinghe, anyone with a little political touch can feel that the invisible battle between the two of them has reached the point where the moves were fatal.

So Liu Xiangfeng took out Jiang Xia's letter to Yan Song at this moment, which made Yan Song bother to think about what Liu Xiangfeng meant.

He didn't believe that Liu Xiangfeng didn't know that he was from the Yang family.

However, Yan Song is also a veteran in the officialdom. He just thought about it and understood Liu Xiangfeng's idea. Liu Xiangfeng did not want to offend him at both ends because he did this.

Yan Song smiled slightly, tore open the envelope and pulled out the letter paper from it.

When Yan Song shook open the letter, he frowned slightly.

The letter was written by Jiang Xia, and the content on it made Yan Song appreciate Jiang Xia’s power for the first time.

The people of Jiangxia were in the capital, but they had already predicted in advance that there would be no major war in a short time after Yan Song arrived in Suzhou.

He also expected that when he arrived in Suzhou, Turpan must have been fighting a civil war, so the only purpose of his letter was to hope that Yan Su could send a soldier to help Tumot hold Turpan.

In fact, this is the only way that Jiang Xia could think of. If Turpan had the support of Ola, then it would only take sooner or later for them to defeat the Tumot tribe. How to use the Tumot tribe to consume Turpan's strength and delay his time to take down the Tumot tribe is a top priority in the defense of the northwest border.

If Yan Song did as he did, then Jiang Xia would have enough time to deal with the affairs of Annan Kingdom and then come back.

So now the question is, will Yan Song do it according to Jiang Xia’s wishes?

The answer is naturally no.

Although Yan Song was frightened by Jiang Xia's letter, his heart's strength towards Jiang Xia was instantly refreshed to a new level. However, Yan Song still threw the letter into the charcoal stove in front of him for hot pot, turned his head to look at Liu Xiangfeng and said, "There is no letter, right? Lord Liu."

Liu Xiangfeng was slightly stunned and frowned slightly.

Damn it, this is forcing me to stand. Liu Xiangfeng cursed in his heart.

If he really admitted that he had not given any letters to Yan Song, then Jiang Xia would pursue it in the future and he would definitely offend Jiang Xia. In order to protect himself, he would have to join the Yang clan.

But if he insisted on handing over the letter to Yan Song, he would immediately offend Yan Song. Offending Yan Song would be equivalent to offending Yang Shi, which would be more than worth the loss.

Although Liu Xiangfeng was not happy, he had no choice but to nod, and said, "I don't understand what Master Yan said about the humble position. What is Master Yan's letter?"

Yan Song laughed, picked up his glass and said to Liu Xiangfeng: "Come on, drink, drink."

Not long after Yan Song arrived in Suzhou, the people of Jiangxia also arrived in Shenglong City, Annan Kingdom.

Shenglong City is on guard, and the guards at the gate are several times more than when the "three kings and one duke" were fighting for the throne of the king. This shows that the situation in Annan is really not optimistic.

Originally, Jiang Xia was preparing to enter Shenglong City directly with the Ming Dynasty clearance document, but after careful consideration, Jiang Xia changed his mind and chose to find another way to sneak into Shenglong City.

At night, the moon is in the sky.

Jiang Xia, Xiao Sha, Hai Dayou and three others dived directly with a breath of true energy and entered Shenglong City from the Hulong River.

After entering the city, Jiang Xia discovered that Shenglong City had actually implemented a curfew. There were many soldiers coming and going on the street, which made Jiang Xia and the other two deliberately avoided the soldiers and then walked towards the Guannan Prince's Mansion.

Based on his understanding of Guannan King Li Zhengba, Jiang Xia believed that Li Zhengba would not betray Li Ruliu. So Jiang Xia decided to find him first.

A few years ago, Li Zhengba had no mansion in Shenglong Mansion. Later, Jiang Xia accompanied Li Ruliu and personally selected a royal mansion for him.

Although I haven't been to Shenglong Mansion for several years, Jiang Xia gradually recalled some of the road signs after walking a few times.

Fortunately, the construction technology in ancient times was not as good as that in later generations, and the environment did not change much, otherwise Jiang Xia really didn't know if he could find the Guannan Prince's Mansion.

Finally, Jiang Xia saw the two iconic Kirin stone statues. This was specially created by Li Zhengba. He thought the stone lion at the door was too ordinary and not domineering enough, so he found these two Kirin stone statues.

Jiang Xia, Xiao Sha, and Hai Dayou jumped into the Guannan Prince's Mansion with their light skills, and then walked around the huge palace quickly.

The palace was full of vigilance. If the three of them were not the first-class masters, they would probably be easily discovered.

Finally, Jiang Xia found that there was a fire in Li Zhengba's study. He asked Xiao Sha and Hai Dayou to hide first, but he picked up a stone and threw it into Li Zhengba's room.

"Who!" Li Zhengba's still thick voice sounded. He opened the door and walked out, looking left and right with a cautious look on his face.

At this moment, Jiang Xia ran eight steps to catch the cicada, rushed to Li Zhengba quickly, and rushed into the study with Li Zhengba in his arms.

Li Zhengba is also a trainer. As soon as he entered the study, he used a few moves with Jiang Xia like lightning. In the end, the two of them hit each other and took a step back.

Li Zhengba looked at Jiang Xia in surprise and shouted: "Jiang Xia?"

Jiang Xia smiled slightly and said, "Long time no see, prince."

"Oh, you're such a bastard?" Li Zhiba walked over with a smile and grabbed Jiang Xia's shoulders. He seemed to be looking at some livestock sold in the market, and looked up and down with extremely strange eyes.

Li Zhengba shook his head and said to himself: "You Han people have a saying that good people don't live long, and they will be harmed for thousands of years. You bastard have not seen you for so many years, but you still look like you were as innocent as before. It's so fucking unfair."

"We are not the same as we used to be? We have the same stinky mouth." Li Zhengba whispered a "bastard". With Jiang Xia's personality, how could he not retort?

Li Zhengba was not angry either and smiled slightly. He reached out to support Jiang Xia's shoulders and said, "Come on, cooperate with me and stand up first and don't move."

Jiang Xia stood there in confusion, wondering what Li Zhengba was preparing to do.

Li Zhengba took a step back, and then suddenly slapped Jiang Xia with a backhand.

But Jiang Xia is now a master of the three major tripods. He subconsciously lowered his head and avoided Li Zhiba's slap.

Li Zhengba opened his mouth and cursed: "You bastard, do you know that you have caused the king to suffer?"
