Chapter 1017: Urgency

Yunqing got the time when Tanzhou won the victory, half a day later than Yuxi. Holding this good news, Yunqing was in a complicated mood.

General Luo Liang looked at Yun Qing's appearance, and asked a little strangely: "Lord Wang, is there a problem with the good news of Tanzhou?" After winning the battle, normally the prince should be happy, not like this.

Yun Qing put down those thoughts in his heart and said, "There is no problem. "It's a joy to win, but it's a pity that he just can't be happy.

Luo Liang was a little suspicious in his heart, but he didn't ask more. During this time, the prince has been in a bad mood, and he doesn't want to touch this mold.

After thinking for a while, Luo Liang said: "Tanzhou has won, General Xu and General Yu should attack Jiangxi next?"

Yun Qing shook his head and said: "Their casualties are too great, there are no soldiers in the northwest, they have to recruit more soldiers and horses." "There are less than 70,000 soldiers and horses left, which is too few. Even if they have strong combat effectiveness, they can lose without fighting 70,000 against 300,000.

Luo Liang nodded.

Si Bonian said: "Lord Wang, there is a letter from the city of Pickaxe. "A thick stack, several of them.

opened the package, and saw that in addition to Yuxi's letters, there were also letters from Huo Changqing, Zao Zao, and Brother Xuan. Huo Changqing and Zao Zao had written to Yunqing before, and as for Brother Xuan, it was the first time.

Yunqing opened Huo Changqing's letter first. Huo Changqing said in the letter that let Yunqing know his current identity, and in this position, he must focus on the overall situation, and can no longer be based on personal preferences.

After reading Huo Changqing's letter, Yun Qing fell silent. It was only after half a ring that Yun Qing opened Yuxi's letter. Ok-hee's letter said that everything was fine with Ho Cheng, told him not to worry, and finally told him to take care of his health.

Yun Qing put down the letter written by Yuxi and smiled bitterly. Yuwenhe's matter Yuxi is not wrong, otherwise taking Tanzhou will not only kill more than 50,000 people, but doubling it may not be able to capture Tanzhou.

After adjusting his mood, Yunqing opened the letter of the jujube. Zaozao's first sentence in the letter was, 'Dad, I miss you so much.' Ah Hao, Liu Er, and Brother Rui, they all miss you so much'. Then in the letter, she talked about what she did with Brother Hao and Brother Rui's triplets. She even told Yun Qing about Brother You'er beating up again. Zaozao's letter reveals a cheerful atmosphere from beginning to end.

The last thing to open was Brother Xuan's letter. Although Brother Xuan doesn't like to practice martial arts, it does not prevent him from worshiping and admiring his father. This kind of thinking is also expressed in the letter. At the end of the letter, Brother Xuan said that he hoped that Yunqing could find them a good weapon to take advantage of.

After reading Zao Zao and Brother Xuan's letter, Yun Qing couldn't help but have a smile on his face, and his heavy mood was swept away.

Yunqing's mood improved, and the first thing he discovered was naturally Si Bonian. Si Bonian said with a smile: "The prince is so happy, but what is the happy thing?"

Yun Qing said: "Brother Rui, the three brothers want me to find a weapon for them. This handy weapon, where is it so easy to find. These stinky boys are going to give me a problem. "I said that, but there was a lot of pride in my words. He is a military general, so he naturally hopes that his son will fight on the battlefield in the future like him. Therefore, what Brother Xuan said in his letter is very much in line with Yunqing's heart.

Si Bonian asked with a smile: "Second Young Master, they know that they have to find good weapons at such a young age, and the prince will not worry about it in the future." I just don't know what weapons the second young master likes them?" "There are many types of weapons, and everyone has their own preferences.

A smile appeared on Yun Qing's face: "The child is still young, and he has not yet decided, if he likes such a sword today, he will like a knife tomorrow." Keep it for them first when they come across a good one, and give it to them when they are older. "Brother Rui has a lot of requirements, bows and arrows, spears, good swords, good knives, anyway, as long as it is good, he wants it. I don't want to think about his current size, even if he has a good weapon, he can handle it.

It's a pity that Yunqing's good mood didn't last long. That night, he received a secret letter from Wu Kuo. Wu Kuo has also helped Yunqing and Yuxi find out information over the years, but his main responsibility is to make money in business.

After reading Wu Kuo's secret letter, Yunqing's expression was solemn. While spreading out the map, Yun Qing said to Si Bonian: "Go and ask General Luo and General Yuan to come over." ”

The two generals came over quickly, and seeing that Yun Qing's face was not very good-looking, the two of them knew that something might have changed.

As the two generals thought, there was indeed a change. Wu Kuo wrote in the letter that in the past two days at Yongcheng Port, the government began to forcibly requisition commercial ships and civilian ships. Wu Kuo guessed that the government requisitioned these ships in preparation for Yu Baojia's transfer of property. In the event of a war, their ships will not be of use.

If it was just Yu Baojia who escaped, Yunqing would not have a sense of urgency. None of them knew how to fight in the water, and once the goods were on the ship and into the sea, they were helpless.

The two generals listened to Yunqing's analysis and said, "Lord Wang, we must take Qiantang as soon as possible. "Only by knocking down the money pond as soon as possible can we fundamentally solve the problem.

Yun Qing snorted and said, "Luo Liang, you take 50,000 soldiers and horses to attack Wu Xing. ”

Yunqing himself prepared to lead his troops to attack Changshui, and ordered Du Zheng to lead his troops back to help. In addition, let Fang Xing send troops from Xuancheng and let Xu Zhen send troops to attack Jiangxi. The purpose of letting Xu Zhen send troops was to contain Jiangxi's troops and prevent Jiangxi's troops from coming back.

Yunqing was busy until the second half of the night. Seeing this, Si Bonian said, "Lord Wang, you can rest!" After dawn, the army was about to set off again, and there was no time to rest.

Where can Yunqing sleep: "I'm not sleepy." "We must capture Qiantang in the fastest possible time. Otherwise, let Yu Baojia transport the belongings, and what they get is an empty city.

Wu Kuo not only wrote a secret letter to Yunqing, but also wrote a secret letter to Yuxi, telling Yuxi his guess.

After reading Wu Kuo's secret letter, Yuxi said to Xu Wu: "Yu Baojia is ready to transport the wealth he has accumulated over the years to the capital. Yu Baojia was not surprised that Yu Baojia was preparing to flee to the capital. He and Yan Wushuang are allies, and it is naturally better to defect to Yan Wushuang than to surrender to them.

Xu Wu's face changed and said, "It is said that Yu Baojia has accumulated wealth that rivals the wealth of the country. If all this money arrived in the capital, it would be like a tiger for Yan Wushuang. "Yan Wushuang's strength has increased, which is not a good thing for them.

Yuxi snorted.

Xu Wu was a little anxious, but seeing Yuxi's expression as usual, he suppressed the anxiety in his heart and asked, "Princess, do you have any good ideas?"

Yuxi said: "There is no good way, but to capture Qiantang as soon as possible, so that Yu Baojia has no time to transfer his belongings." ”

Xu Wu's face collapsed when he heard this: "Although Suzhou is only more than 500 miles away from Qiantang, Qiantang has 500,000 elite soldiers from Yu Baojia, and Yu Baojia is personally in charge, so it is not so easy to capture Qiantang in a short time." "By the time the money pond was brought down, the money would have been shipped away a long time ago.

Yuxi nodded and said, "There is another way, intercept these ships and prevent them from transporting gold and silver to the capital." ”

Xu Wu smiled bitterly and said, "Princess, we don't have anyone who knows how to fight water wars. "I don't know how many soldiers in the Northwest can swim from top to bottom.

Yuxi said: "Not only do we have no people who know how to fight water wars, but we also don't have the conditions to fight water wars. "To fight a water war, you have to have a boat first. Now they don't have any ships, what to fight.

Xu Wu looked at Yuxi and asked anxiously, "Is there no other way?" If the mountains of gold and silver were really transferred by Yu Baojia, it would be equivalent to cutting flesh and bloodletting!

Yuxi said: "We won't have a big water war, and we don't have the conditions for a water war, it doesn't mean that others don't." ”

When Xu Wu heard this, he asked in surprise, "Princess, how do you say this?"

Yuxi said: "Qiu Ye, the chief soldier of Fujian, led sailors to attack pirates at the age of fifteen. If he is willing to send troops to intercept these ships, the success rate is still very high. "Old lady Qiu was the governor of southern Fujian, and the Qiu family was the emperor of the soil in the entire southern Fujian at that time. However, after the death of Old Lady Qiu, because of the suppression and infighting of the imperial court, the power of the Qiu family was greatly reduced. However, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Qiu Ye is not incompetent, so he finally entrenched in Fujian. The imperial court finally appointed Qiu Ye as the chief soldier of Fujian.

Xu Wu said with some apprehension: "I'm afraid that this Qiu Ye will stand by and watch and be unwilling to send troops." "Although Qiu Ye is nominally the cousin of his own princess, the relationship related to interests can be put aside.

Yuxi said: "Such a large amount of money is something that a person will be tempted by. As long as he knew the time and route of those ships to sea, he would definitely send troops to intercept them. ”

Xu Wu understood: "Does the princess mean to cooperate with Qiu Ye?"

Yuxi hummed and said, "Instead of cheap Yan Wushuang, it's better to cooperate with Qiu Ye." At least that way, we'll get a piece of it. "She wouldn't want to share it with anyone if she could. But now the form is stronger than the person, and I can only take a step back.

Xu Wu nodded and said, "Princess, then who should we send to be this lobbyist?"

Yuxi looked at Xu Wu and said, "There is no way to send someone from our side, it's too late." can only let Wu Kuo be this lobbyist. "When they send people to Fujian, they have to go through Jiangxi. But the problem is that Jiangxi is still in the hands of Baojia, and this matter is urgent. And Wu Kuo happens to be in Wuzhou, not far from Fujian.

Xu Wu hesitated a little: "Wu Kuo, can he?"

Yuxi said: "Wu Kuo is a businessman, and no one is more business-oriented than him. "To put it bluntly, her cooperation with Qiu Ye is actually a transaction.

After a pause, Yuxi said again: "The worst thing is that Qiu Ye refused, this is just a return to the original point for us." ”

Xu Wu felt that this idea was not good, and after thinking about it, he still said the words in his heart: "Princess, when we conquer Jiangnan, the next thing will be Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangzhou, and Fujian." If Qiu Ye is allowed to get this money, won't it strengthen his power?" "When Qiu Ye's power is greater, it will be more difficult for them to fight Fujian at that time.

Yuxi smiled and said, "Solve the current problem first, and talk about Fujian's affairs later." "Every time you send troops, it's a huge drain. In this regard, Yuxi wants to solve Fujian peacefully, and there are already candidates sent to Fujian as lobbyists, his eldest brother Han Jianming.

Han Jianming and Qiu Ye are cousins, and they have grown up together since childhood, and their relationship is very good, and he has always been in contact with Qiu Ye over the years. But it's a thought she can't say for the time being. Because all this must be built on the foundation of laying Jiangnan.

Xu Wu glanced at Yuxi in some surprise, the princess has always thought long-term, but why is she so short-sighted this time. However, seeing that Yuxi didn't explain, he didn't ask anymore, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little solemn, Yuxi said with a smile: "Did Zao Zao pestering you about the battle ahead?"

Xu Wu nodded and said, "Yes." The lord of the county and the prince will ask them every day, and I will tell them what I know. After speaking, Xu Wu raised his head and asked, "Princess, is there anything wrong?"

Yuxi smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with it. They told me that I didn't have time. "She has to take care of government affairs and worry about the war ahead, and she really doesn't have so much energy to take care of the children.

Xu Wu smiled and said: "The lord of the great county and the prince are both sensible children, and they will not complain about the princess." ”

Yuxi snorted: "Several children are very sensible. "Brother Rui'er's three brothers are also very well-behaved during this time, not only do they no longer accompany her, but they also ask her to pay attention to her body not to be too tired.

Yuxi's handwritten letter arrived in Wu Kuo's hands at noon on the third day. After Wu Kuo saw it, he immediately ordered to prepare the ship, and he was going to Rongcheng.

Wu Shun knew the purpose of Wu Kuo's trip to Rongcheng, and said anxiously: "Master, this matter is too dangerous, let's push it!"

Wu Kuo smiled and said, "What's so dangerous about this? "As Yuxi said, this is a deal. It's naturally good to talk about it, and if you can't talk about it, Qiu Ye won't kill him.

Wu Shun said with a bitter face: "Even if the Qiu family is good at talking, they won't do anything to us, but King Yan's people won't let us go." "You don't have to think about it to know that Yan Wushuang must have a lot of people in Fujian. As soon as they arrived in Fujian, these people would kill them.

Wu Kuo said: "I took ninety-nine steps, just this last step, you let me go back now?" He went to Yunqing and Yuxi back then, and he worked hard to make money for them all these years. Now that the harvest is about to come, but he retreats, then he will not lose this business miserably.

Wu Shun looked at Wu Kuo's indifferent expression, knowing that nothing could dispel his thoughts: "Master, there are so many people under Princess Pingxi, why do you have to take risks?"

Wu Kuo said: "Princess Pingxi has already said in the letter that her people in Fujian will keep me safe. When the matter is settled, Qiu Ye will also send someone to protect me. ”

Wu Shun saw that Wu Kuo had made up his mind, and said, "I'll go with the master." Wu Kuo has recruited a lot of good players by his side. Otherwise, in this troubled world, he would not be able to go all over the world. And this is also his confidence.

Wu Kuo took a boat to Rongcheng on the same day.
