Chapter 237: Evenly matched

Shangguan Yu naturally would not throw away Su Qingyun's fat piece now, but Su Qingyun's conditions were naturally not allowed. He finally achieved success with Wanwan, so how could he give up because of this?

If the support of these civil officials brought by Su Qingyun, Shangguan Yu could reach a draw with Shangguan Qian and Shangguan Ling with the support of the court.

Shangguan Ling has the support of the queen, so the family will naturally work hard for Shangguan Ling. Therefore, Shangguan Ling's support rate is not low, and he has 30% of the support among civil servants. Although it is not high, it is considered to be quite low.

However, because of the queen, Shangguan Ling had a relatively high approval rating among military officers. The queen's family was originally a military general, but because there was no successor and no one in the family had the ability to fight on the battlefield, he became a civil servant. However, because of the majesty of his father, he still had a great say in military officers.

Although Shangguan Qian does not have the strong background as well as Shangguan Ling and Shangguan Yu, Shangguan Qian has gained a lot of favor because he has been gentle and jade-like in the court in recent years. However, his competitiveness is still not as good as Shangguan Yu and Shangguan Qian. Among civil officials, Shangguan Qian has a support rate of about 30%, but he is much inferior in military officers. Because Shangguan Qian did not fight on the battlefield like Shangguan Yu, he has a group of heartfelt subordinates, nor has he strong backing like Shangguan Ling, so he only has a support rate of 20% among military officers. These 20% of the support rate was obtained after Shangguan Qian had been working hard for a long time.

Although Shangguan Qian's approval rating is not high, he has a secret weapon, that is, the General of the Cavalry, who is a mortal enemy of Shangguan Yu.

There are three main parts of the division of military officer powers of Dazhou. The three parts do not exist equally, but no one can erase the existence of the local area. The first camp is Shangguan Yu; Shangguan Yu has been fighting on the battlefield all year round, especially the recent battle at Yumen Pass, with great momentum, such as the General, Rong Lian and others are on Shangguan Yu's side. Although Rong Lian has only followed Shangguan Yu recently, Rong Lian represents the Duke Rong Mansion, and the power behind it will naturally not be bad.

The second camp is General of Cavalry. Although General of Cavalry is not as powerful as Shangguan Yu, he has outstanding military achievements and was personally enthroned by the emperor. General of Cavalry started as an ordinary soldier and became General of Cavalry step by step with his own efforts. He has little power, but there are also a group of loyal followers who have followed their subordinates all year round.

The last camp was the older generation in the army. Although they did not lead troops to fight, their majesty still existed. The queen's father was the leader of the army at the beginning, but because of his age, he gradually retreated from the army and lived his life in the mansion.

The General of the Cavalry and Shangguan Yu have been resentful for a long time. The General of the Cavalry has always regarded Shangguan Yu as a thorn in his eyes. The specific thing is to start with Shangguan Yuchu coming to the military camp.

At that time, Wang Meng had already been named General of Cavalry, so everyone respectfully called Wang Meng the General of Cavalry.

"How to fight this battle? No one or food!" Wang Meng threw the teacup in his hand directly on the ground, and the hot tea water was emitting white smoke on the ground.

Wang Meng has been stationed at Yumen Pass. The two sides were at peace and had no conflicts, but a few days ago, the Huns suddenly launched a large-scale attack and caught Wang Meng off guard. There were not many people, and Wang Meng could not always fight with the Huns head-on.

So Wang Meng's army was in a stalemate with the Huns, but Huang Di ordered the Huns to retreat thirty miles away from Yumen Pass within three days.

"General, then how should we fight this battle?" said a man who had been following Wang Meng.

"There is no way, you can only fight head-on, otherwise you can resist the order and not obey the order!" Wang Meng was also very unhappy at this moment, but he could not resist the order and not obey the order.

The next day, Wang Meng led his troops to fight against the Huns' army, but because of insufficient numbers, Wang Meng lost 30% of his people.

Then, an imperial edict was issued: Shangguan Yu was the general and immediately took over Yumen Pass, and General Cavalry was the deputy general.

Wang Meng was even more angry when he heard this news. It seemed that he was just being fooled by someone, and his lack of it was Shangguan Yu's preparation.

Although Wang Meng is a common man, he has been in the court for so many years, and some of his thoughts and strategies can be seen through: he has insufficient troops and wants me to repel the Huns. Isn’t this clearly making me lose? The battle report has not yet been passed to the court, and then an imperial edict was sent. It seems that the emperor wanted to lend me to establish authority for the soldiers in the army!

After a few days, Shangguan Yu led the army and food to Yumen Pass. Wang Meng naturally did not give Shangguan Yu a good look, so the soldiers originally stationed in Yumen Pass did not obey Shangguan Yu's orders. Wang Meng was greatly satisfied: "Ha, it's not your turn to say!"

It was almost midnight, and the weather was very cold. Under the pale moonlight, the sand dunes looked like a tomb made of silver, without any movement. Shangguan Yu felt that the quietness was unusual, so he quickly asked the soldiers to prepare for battle.

Wang Meng didn't care at all when he heard Shangguan Yu's order, but just went back to the tent to continue sleeping.

Only the soldiers who followed Shangguan Yu to Yumen Pass heard the words, but did not fall asleep completely, and were careful.

The north wind was howling, mixed with a little unusual sound.

The Xiongnu's undercover agent on Dazhou's side told the Xiongnu general that Shangguan Yu and Wang Meng were in conflict, and it was the best time to attack recently, so the Xiongnu set the time for the sneak attack tonight.

A Hun soldier sneaked into the army quietly, but he didn't know that after someone was observing secretly, Shangguan Yu learned that someone had been in trouble, he just told everyone not to alert the snake, and after waiting for someone to come in, he would catch a turtle in a jar.

Of course, Shangguan Yu did not tell Wang Meng about these news. Others no longer gave him a good look, and he had already said what he should have said.

After all the Huns attacked him came in, Shangguan Yu gave an order and ordered the soldiers to shoot and kill the Huns.

The sound of fighting outside the tent disturbed Wang Meng. Wang Meng woke up from his sleep. When he felt something was wrong, he began to order the soldiers to resist rights. However, because he did not listen to Shangguan Yu's order, he prepared very quickly. Therefore, when Shangguan Yu wiped out the Huns in one fell swoop, he found that Wang Meng's subordinates were basically Wang Meng's subordinates. Wang Meng naturally felt uncomfortable. These were brothers who followed him through life and death!

"Shangguan Yu, your heart is really cruel. Do you want to save these things when you die?" Wang Meng grabbed Shangguan Yu's collar and asked angrily.

Shangguan Yu lifted Wang Meng's hand away from his collar with one palm. How could he not understand: "Wang Meng, you have to think it through yourself. Did I tell you at that time? What about you? I am the general, you are just my deputy general. Who gave you the courage? This is the lesson to teach you!"

"Since I came here, General Cavalry, think about it yourself, have you ever given a good look?"

"Now it is a battlefield, not a place for children to play tricks. You have to know that opposite you are the Huns, the place where our brothers have been taking away. This is not a place where you play tricks on children!"

"This is also a lesson for you!"

Shangguan Yu said several words in a row without showing any mercy, which made Wang Meng look extremely ugly, especially in front of his subordinates! Looking at everyone's expressions and with a hint of doubt, Wang Meng felt that his face had been lost at this moment, and he thought to himself that Shangguan Yu was really cruel. After this, how could everyone listen to their orders?

Shangguan Yu ignored Wang Meng and went straight to the tent. At least, from now on, everyone knows who has the final say in this military camp! The other Shangguan Yu didn't want to pay attention.

After this incident, Wang Meng restrained a lot, but he still felt very resentful of Shangguan Yu.

Wang Meng always felt that Shangguan Yu was relying on his identity as a prince. If he had removed the identity of this prince, he would have nothing, but he had never seen Shangguan Yu's ability to eliminate his identity, nor did he see his shortcomings.

Therefore, when Shangguan Qian found Wang Meng and expressed his intention to form an alliance with him, Wang Meng quickly agreed because he especially wanted to see Shangguan Yu lose his royal identity.

After Shangguan Yu knew that Wang had joined Shangguan Qian's camp, he felt relieved. He and Wang Meng's ties would not be able to be solved in this life. If he joined Shangguan Ling's camp, he would still be worried, but if he joined Shangguan Qian, his pressure would be much less.

Su Muwan has been staying at the residence prepared by Shaohuajun these days, and there are people taking care of her every day. Although she is bored, she is rarely free and comfortable. However, since she moved here, she has not seen Shaohuajun. After guessing his intention, Su Muwan just smiled. However, at this time, rumors about the emperor's uncle and himself were indeed a big problem.

"Princess Yu, someone will send you a letter." Su Muwan was surprised. Only Shangguan Yu knew about her living here. Who would write me a letter?

"Wanwan, seeing words is like seeing people. When the time is right, wait for me to pick you up home."

When Su Muwan saw Shangguan Yu's letter, she felt warm. In her previous life, she regarded the Prime Minister's Mansion as her home, but was used, and regarded the Prince Yu's Mansion as the best one, but was tortured to death by Su Xinai. Fortunately, she has grasped it.

Su Muwan picked up her pen and wrote on the letter paper; "Wait for you to pick me up home!"

After writing, the guards were sent to Prince Yu's mansion and handed over to Shangguan Yu.

Shangguan Yu, in my previous life, I believed Su Xin’s beloved rumors, which not only hurts myself, but also hurts your heart. Don’t worry, I will not let anyone become an obstacle between us in this life.

Shangguan Yu looked at Su Muwan's reply, and his heart felt as sweet as if he had touched honey. Wanwan, it won't take long before I will take you home.
