The next day, Chihu waited early, and sent the six people to the ten-mile mountain pass outside the military camp, and before parting, he asked Zhao Bing to bring back a letter to his father Qian Wuqi......

The picturesque scenery along the way is no longer appreciated, and the unique princess Xiaobai is still elated, holding flowers and laughing constantly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When you are about to arrive at the capital city of Dali, there are more pedestrians on the road, there are vegetable sellers, firewood sellers push wheelbarrows to rush forward, rice sellers drive horse-drawn carriages to sing mountain songs, and some carry burdens to sell some mountain goods and fruits, all the way in an endless stream.

"Old man, how much do your plums sell for?" Xiaobai asked an old man who was walking with a burden, but the old man didn't seem to hear it, and walked forward step by step.

"Hey! Old man, let me ask you! The little white man was angry and blocked the road, and the old man stopped and looked up at her, his eyes full of anger.

Yang Yu hurriedly went over and explained to the old man in Bai dialect, and Huyan Xiaofeng pulled Xiaobai to the side of the road to get out of the way, but the old man didn't look at them and continued to hurry.

The six of them beat the horse to overtake the old man, Chu Lianjun glanced back, only to see that the old man was still with his head down, and he was moving forward steadily step by step.

He caught up with Huyan Xiaofeng and asked, "Have you seen it?" “

"This person's skills are very deep, I'm afraid it's not under you and me!"

"And even if you can't understand Chinese, you can't understand Bai dialect."

"It must be a Tangut person!"

Xiaobai didn't know the danger she had just experienced, so she pulled Qin Muxue to admire her flowers: "Look at this camellia in Dali, how gorgeous it is!" Red like a drop of blood! “

Zhao Bing's sister and brother communicated in Bai dialect, obviously they were worried about the situation in front of them, Dali City was under the jurisdiction of the Yang Mansion, and there were so many masters of the rivers and lakes who did not know where to go, no wonder their father would fall ill...... They can't wait to fly home!

The west side of Cangshan is covered with snow, and the clouds and mist surround the peaks, like a fairyland!

The Erhai Sea in the east is the same color, and the sea surface is sparkling under the sun, like thousands of sea fish gathering and playing!

A majestic castle rises from the flat ground between Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, the blue-gray city wall is tough and powerful to protect the people in the city, and two black Chinese characters are highlighted on the city gate: Dali! Dali does not have its own writing, the Bai people have always admired the Central Plains culture, so they use Chinese characters, and the city of Dali is mainly Chinese.

The East City Gate is crowded with people, the flow of people is bustling, the flow of logistics is crowded, the sound of hawkers coming and going in and out comes and goes, all kinds of officials are mixed in it, the old and young people linger, it is really a prosperous and lively capital!

Zhao Bing's sister and brother rushed ahead quickly, six people and six horses rushed straight into the east gate like arrows from a string, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city saw from afar that the eldest lady of Yang Mansion did not dare to stop them, and the six black wild horses rushed forward on a straight and wide bluestone pavement, and the crisp tapping sound from the horses' hooves spread far away......

Dali City expressly prohibits horses galloping!

A few young soldiers along the way just wanted to stop them, but they were immediately stopped nervously by the veterans around them, and hurriedly scolded: "You recruits don't want to die!" That's Zhao Bing, the eldest lady of the Yang Mansion, who almost stabbed the young son of the Qian Mansion to death with a sword two years ago, how many heads do you have? We can't afford to mess with us, you know! Don't hurry up and get out of the way for Lao Tzu! “

Huyan Xiaofeng and Xiaobai listened to it in the back, and they opened their mouths and laughed wildly. The Khitan woman kept combing her hair with her fingertips, sometimes smiling charmingly, sometimes breathing nervously and deeply.

After a while, a larger mansion appeared in front of him, there was a stone tiger standing on the left and right at the door, the word "Yang" engraved on the white marble lintel was very eye-catching, and five hundred soldiers wearing snow-white armor saw Zhao Bing and Yang Yu immediately saluted.

A few subordinates ran out of the house to lead the horses, and an old woman who looked like a housekeeper ran out and shouted, "Oops! Ah Bing, Ah Yu, you are finally back, your Abba is sick, Grandma doesn't dare to leave, it's good for you to come back...... That's it! As he spoke, he wiped his old tears with his hands.

"Grandma!" The siblings shouted affectionately and hugged her tightly. "Come in! Greet our guests! Grandma hurriedly welcomed people into the house.

After entering, there is a large square courtyard, with a large white wall on the bluestone road, and the yard is full of camellias, plums, grapes and walnut trees, as well as one large, two small and three poplar trees.

In the courtyard, there is a large bluestone table that has long been covered with food, what rice wine, plum wine, deer antler wine...... Good wine Ruyun was afraid that there would not be enough guests to drink, so that Huyan Xiaofeng's eyes were straight, and he tasted it first, and praised it: "Well, yes, it's all good wine!" Mu Xue, why don't you drink today? “

Qin Muxue said seriously: "...... Don't drink, I never drink! He blushed as he spoke.

Zhao Bing and Yang Yu went to visit their parents first, leaving their grandmother to greet the guests, and she instructed her subordinates: "Come!" Pour me a full plum! “

"This person in black is the Shower Sword Chu Lianjun! Looks like a talent! ”

"This one in white is the little general of the tuyere sword Huyan! Yushu is in the wind! ”

"And this beautiful girl with flowers in her hand is the little white princess of the Great Song Kingdom!"

"This blue-eyed beautiful little girl of the Khitan tribe is Qin Muxue...... By the way, I heard that Mu Xue's alcohol consumption is amazing, why don't you drink it today! Grandma is like a treasure to them, "Drink some of our Dali's plum wine, sweet and sour, delicious and delicious!" “

Qin Muxue's little face was red with shame, so she had to pour a bowl of plum wine in front of her.

"I'm so happy to see the young hero!" Grandma dried the wine bowl in one go.

"Grandma has a lot of alcohol!" Huyan Xiaofeng admired and praised.

"Haha! It's not as good as it was back then! Grandma's face flushed, "I think back then, I didn't get drunk with King Dali for three days and three nights!" ”

Qin Muxue shouted shyly: "Grandma, I salute you for a bowl, I can drink a little bit if I do it, hehe!" “

Grandma touched her jet-black hair and exclaimed, "What a good hair...... I'll finish it with you, haha! “

Xiaobai also walked over, naughtily touched Qin Muxue's hair, and pretended to sigh with emotion: "What good hair!" Ouch! What a nice touch of hair...... Did this hair come from drinking? Hahaha! “

Qin Muxue was not angry, but looked back at her with a smile, gritted her teeth in her heart and said: You just bully me now, see how I clean you up then!

The others also toasted the grandmother one by one, making the old man's eyebrows flutter, if they only heard laughter and thought she was a young woman, even the people were amused by Huyan Xiaofeng's humor, one by one laughing as bright as the flowers in Shangguan, constantly adding wine, and being in the arms of the swordsman who was addicted to alcohol.

After a while, the sister and brother walked out, and both of them had tears on their faces.

After eating, Chu Lianjun and Zhao Bing were going to Qian Mansion, Qin Muxue accompanied Yang Yu to stay in Yang Mansion to take care of military affairs, and Xiaobai finally succeeded in pulling Huyan Xiaofeng out shopping.

At present, the general Yang Hu is seriously ill, and the Yang Mansion Army in the city is temporarily managed by his wife Zhao Piaopiao, and now everything is handed over to Yang Yu. He quickly summoned the top ten lieutenant generals of the Yang Mansion Army and quickly assumed the responsibility of guarding the capital, and Qin Muxue acted as a staff officer for him.

As expected, the lieutenants raised the most worrying situation in the city: a large number of Western Xia warriors had infiltrated the city and had infiltrated every corner! The Yang Mansion Army dispatched 5,000 people to the Red Tiger to guard Shangguan, and now there are 15,000 people left, and the troops are seriously insufficient! The general Yang Hu was actually wounded by a poisoned arrow in a battle to encircle and suppress the Western Xia warriors, and in order to stabilize the hearts of the people in the city, he only said that he was sick. Now the city is no longer able to divide troops to encircle and suppress the Western Xia warriors, so they can only defend the palace step by step, and the situation is quite passive......

Yang Yu frowned and fell into contemplation: these Western Xia warriors infiltrated Dali City, it was not difficult to exterminate, but the Yang Mansion army was limited, and the population in the city was more than 300,000...... During the war, 5,000 people were needed to ensure the security of the palace, and the remaining 10,000 people needed to guard the eastern, southern, western, and northern gates and patrol the city, and reserve troops were left just in case, so it was indeed impossible to launch a large-scale operation to clean up the Western Xia warriors. How should I respond to such a crisis? In addition to the imperial palace, the Qian Mansion and the Yang Mansion will be the key targets of the Western Xia warriors, and they should also be divided into defenses. My father's defense in Yang Mansion was his own own soldiers, and he did not use the Yang Army, but the Qian and Yang families are the spiritual pillars of Dali and cannot afford to lose!

Qin Muxue saw that he didn't speak, so he said to the lieutenant generals: "The young general only rushed back today, and many military information has just been learned, you go down to rest for a while, and wait for us to discuss before making a decision!" “

After all the generals went down to rest, Qin Muxue offered Yang Yu countermeasures: first, the palace sent Huyan Xiaofeng to lead a thousand elite soldiers to guard it, so that it could draw troops to search for and suppress the Western Xia warriors; Second, the residents of the city should be divided into four major districts according to the southeast, northwest and northwest, each send a deputy general of the Yang Mansion Army to serve as the general of the region, and then divide ten divisions under each large area, and the regional general will select capable officers to serve as the general of the division, and then divide ten communities under the division, and select the respected elders in the community as the leaders of the community, as long as it is the foreign population in the community, it must be reported, so that the community is responsible to the district, the district is responsible to the region, and the region reports to the Yang Mansion in a unified manner! In this way, the Western Xia warriors will have nowhere to hide, once the enemy situation is discovered, Chu Lianjun and Zhao Bing will lead two thousand elite soldiers to round up, and the generals of the region will cooperate with the action, and all external threats in the city can be eliminated in less than three days; Third, the country issued an emergency notice: anyone entering and leaving Dali City needs to have an official document from the local government, otherwise they will not be released; Fourth, a curfew will be implemented immediately in Dali City!

Yang Yu was overjoyed after hearing this, and excitedly hugged Qin Muxue and kissed her little face, making her face flushed, and she bowed her head shyly.

Yang Yu once again sent an edict to the ten deputy generals, issued military orders one by one in accordance with Qin Muxue's strategy, and selected four deputy generals to be appointed as regional generals in the four major regions of the southeast, northwest and northwest.

After the lieutenant generals all went down to carry out the order, Qin Muxue said again: "Ah Yu, in order to be able to grasp the situation in the city at any time, we must secretly select fifty clever people from the Yang Mansion's personal soldiers, and go to keep an eye on the various heroes and princes and ministers in the city, so as to prevent anyone from colluding with the Western Xia Kingdom in private. In the Yang Mansion army, secret agents should also be secretly planted, and every move of the ten deputy generals should be closely monitored to prevent rebellion in the army! ”

Yang Yu was a little hesitant: "This approach doesn't seem to be very fair!" ”

Qin Muxue's eyes were determined, and her tone was very resolute: "Special methods should be practiced in special periods!" Sun Tzu said in the Art of War: Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored! The skin does not have hair, you don't have to cling to vulgar thoughts! “

Yang Yu was nervous and didn't dare to look her eyes directly: "...... I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm worried about my father's reputation being damaged. “

Qin Muxue said angrily: "Personal reputation is a big matter? Or is it a matter of national survival? “

Yang Yu was silent, so he secretly arranged it......

At this time, a soldier from the Yang Mansion came to report, saying that something happened to the Qian Mansion, and a Xixia man challenged Qian Wushu and asked him to have a life-and-death duel at the top of Cangshan!
