289, depressed Northern Yuan cavalry
The soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty felt very depressed, although they were driven back to the grassland by the Great Xia people, but the warriors of the Northern Yuan Dynasty thought that they had never been bears on the annual dry trip with Youzhou Wei. But... No matter how brave their Northern Yuan warriors are, they can't bear the sinister hearts of the Central Plains people.
Who would have thought that a soldier and horse that rushed out of the grassland at a glance would actually turn against each other and be busy beating their own people in the Central Plains?
As a result, the warriors of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, who were completely unexpected, were caught off guard by the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses that suddenly rushed out. After a battle, most of the 60,000 soldiers and horses were lost. This is not the most depressing thing, the most depressing thing is that just when they reported to the battalion and waited for the general to send someone to support, the news they received was that the Youzhou guard stationed on the border of Youzhou suddenly went crazy. led 100,000 soldiers and horses directly out of the pass and pounced in the direction of the camp. Thereupon... The general naturally didn't have time to pay attention to them, and the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses who were originally chasing and killing Lin Changfeng and his party with great momentum immediately reversed their roles and became the ones being chased.
Compared with combat power, everyone is a native of the outside of the Seychelles, and no one is afraid of anyone. Compared with war horses, the war horses that have been raised are fat and strong, and the war horses that have been walked on the grassland for several days by Lin Changfeng? than IQ, the second-rate generals in the Northern Yuan Army are not good at thinking by nature, and they are not good at thinking about Wei Gongzi, Changfeng Gongzi, the killer in front of Zixiao Palace, and the Huzi of Youzhou Guard. As a result... Hehe.
Just when Xue Zhen led the army to fight with the main force of the Northern Yuan Dynasty outside the pass, and Wei Junmo took the borrowed Wara soldiers and horses to chase some of the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty on the grassland to wreak havoc everywhere, the army of Xie Li, the commander of the Youzhou Metropolitan Division, was exceptionally quiet.
"General Xie, Xue Zhen has led the troops out of the customs, can't you think of a way!" The middle-aged man with a sharp voice paced back and forth in the camp tent anxiously, looking at Xie Li, who was indifferently leaning back in the chair, and said dissatisfiedly.
Xie Li opened his eyes and looked at him calmly, "What can you do?" Can General Ben manage Xie Li? Or let me send troops out of the customs to help the Northern Yuan people exterminate Wei Junmo? ”
The middle-aged man choked and was speechless. Even if he is really stupid, he knows that if he wants to move Wei Junmo, he can only come secretly, if he really asks Xie Li to send troops outside the pass to exterminate his own people, even if he really kills Wei Junmo, they will be the first to die when he turns around. Without King Yan's hands, His Majesty himself would kill them first to make the people angry.
The middle-aged man took a breath, looked at Xie Li, and said, "But General Xie, don't forget, if you let Wei Junmo or come back, none of us will be pleased." ”
Xie Li rubbed his eyebrows a little tiredly and said: "Everything that the old man can do has been done, if Wei Junmo is still or back, it can only be said that his life should not be extinguished, and the old man has no choice." Please think of another way, the old man can't do anything. ”
"Thank you......"
"Please return to Your Majesty truthfully." The man wanted to persuade again, but was simply interrupted by Xie Li.
The middle-aged man snorted lightly and couldn't help it, in the end, it was Xie Li who had the final say in this army. On the other hand, he also doubted whether His Majesty's idea of secretly killing Wei Junmo would work, Wei Junmo couldn't kill him in Jinling, but now that he is in Youzhou, can he do it? If even hundreds of thousands of Northern Yuan Iron Cavalry couldn't kill Wei Junmo, could they just send a few killers? You must know that Wei Gongzi himself is one of the most powerful killers in the world.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man had no choice but to give up: "Since this is the case, our family will leave." The general is good at himself. ”
Xie Li was silent, and the middle-aged man snorted lightly and threw his sleeves out of the big tent. If you don't leave, you really wait for Wei Junmo's killer star to come back, but I'm afraid I won't be able to leave.
"General, the last general asks to see me." A young voice sounded outside the door. Xie Li opened his eyes, "Come in." ”
Looking at the young general who walked in and looked at him and stopped talking, Xie Li lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Say, what's the matter?" ”
The young general said: "General, many people in the army are now preaching... Yes, the general deliberately sent General Wei out of the border to ......"
"What do you want?"
The young man gritted his teeth and said, "I want to eliminate dissidents and take the opportunity to kill General Wei." ”
Xie Li was silent, and the young man said a little anxiously: "General, it is very unseemly in the army now, if you go down, I'm afraid... I'm afraid that the army will be unstable. ”
"Then what do you say?" Xie Li's Q&A.
The young man arched his hand and said, "The last general is willing to lead the army to reinforce General Wei." As long as the general sends people to support and rescue General Wei and the remaining brothers, the rumors in the army will naturally be self-defeating. ”
Xie Li looked at him, "Do you know where they are now?" Did you know that once you get out, it's hard to come back alive? ”
"But ......."
Xie Li raised his hand to interrupt him, "If, the old man said... Isn't this a rumor? ”
“……”
At the beginning of November, there was a light snow in Youzhou. Overnight, the entire city was covered in a thin layer of snow. Nangong Mo wore a thick red cloak embroidered with white plums, and walked in the palace of King Yan. The bright red color and the soft white fox fur on the edge of the cloak set off the beautiful face, and the face was as white as jade. Although the people around her tried their best to make up for her, Nangong Mo still didn't see any flesh after these days. Although Nangong Mo said that her physique was like this, Princess Changping insisted that she was even more distressed about her daughter-in-law because she was worried about Wei Junmo on the battlefield.
"The county lord is here." Outside the door, the two girls saw Nangong Mo coming over, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Nangong Mo nodded and asked, "Is my uncle awake?" ”
"Back to the county lord, the prince is awake. The prince passed the word, and the county lord came and went in directly. The girl said with a smile.
Nangong Mo nodded, said Youlao and walked in slowly.
This is not the study of the Yanwang Mansion, but the room of the Butterfly Garden. A few days ago, King Yan suddenly fell ill and never got better. To the outside world, it is only said that it is because of the onset of old injuries, so he has been living in the butterfly garden and is taken care of by Gong Xiaodie.
There were not only Yan Wang and Gong Xiaodie in the room, but also Xiao Qianchi and Zhu Chuyu. Gong Xiaodie sat on the edge of the bed
First metaphor. Gong Xiaodie sat on the edge of the bed and helped King Yan, and Xiao Qianchi and Zhu Chuyu stood not far from the window to reply.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, everyone turned around and saw Nangong Mo coming in.
"Uncle."
King Yan was still in good spirits, nodded and said, "Flawless is here, sit down." ”
Nangong Mo thanked him, glanced at Xiao Qianchi and Zhu Chuyu who were standing on the side, and asked, "Uncle called Wufeng over, but what's the matter?" ”
King Yan coughed lightly twice, took the letter handed over by Gong Xiaodie, and said, "Take it and take a look." Jun'er should come back in a few days. ”
Nangong Mo took the excerpt suspiciously, it was the news of the border pass written by Chen Yu. On the fold, Xie Li sent Wei Junmo to send troops outside the pass, Wei Junmo seconded Wara soldiers and horses to deal with the Northern Yuan people, and attacked at night to destroy the grain and grass supplies of the Northern Yuan people, etc. It also includes Chen Yu's prediction and construction of the current and future wars, and so on. Chen Yu is known as the first Confucian general of Youzhou Wei, and he really deserves his reputation.
Seeing Nangong Mo raise his head, King Yan asked, "After reading it, what do you want to say?" ”
Nangong Mo stroked the excerpt in his hand and said, "Jinling is ready to make a move on Jun Mo?" Although Xie Li is not familiar with her, she has also learned something. With his character, he can't use this method to design Wei Junmo for personal gain. It can only be Xiao Qianye's order, and Xie Li, as a courtier, has to be respected.
Xiao Qianye can almost be regarded as a blatant attack on Wei Junmo, and it can only be said that he is also ready to attack Yan Wangfu. Naturally, he is not afraid to tear his face with Yan Wangfu.
King Yan snorted, frowned, and said, "The sixth brother was sealed to Nanning by Xiao Qianye. ”
Nangong Mo frowned, this world and her previous life were only similar in history and terrain, but they could not be compared. So she didn't know where this Nanning was, but Xiao Qianye couldn't give King Qi a rich fief.
Zhu Chuyu, who was standing next to him, saw Nangong Mo's expression and said softly: "Cousin-in-law, Nanning is south of Yizhou, adjacent to the fief of the former King of Huaning County. ”
Nangong Mo realized this, well, it is really a very remote place. Xiao Qianye actually wants to stuff King Qi into the 100,000 mountains as a savage, right?
King Yan looked at her a little strangely, "You are the daughter of the Duke of Chu State, and you can't even figure out the name of the place?" ”
Nangong Mo touched his nose, "I'm not an official, and I can't lead troops to fight." ”
King Yan glanced at her angrily, "I don't know how to make progress." ”
Nangong Mo shrugged and said, "Is Uncle worried about the safety of Uncle Qi Wang?" ”
King Yan shook his head and said, "The sixth brother has his own measure, since Xiao Qianye has resealed him, he will not be touched for the time being." If the king had sent someone to contact him, he would have been in even more danger. Nangong Mo nodded, thinking about turning around and asking someone to bring some medicine to King Qi. That kind of place with poor mountains and bad water has been a place of exile since ancient times, if the king of Qi is not accustomed to water and soil or something, don't Xiao Qianye didn't kill him, but he was hung by climate disease.
Sighing secretly in his heart, Nangong Mo stretched out his hand and put the fold back on the table beside him, and asked, "What else does my uncle have to order?" ”
King Yan pointed to Zhu Chuyu, who was standing next to him, and said, "Lord Shanjia said that it is winter and wants to give porridge in the city, what do you think?" ”
Nangong Mo thought about it, and now seeing that the relationship between the Yan Wangfu and the imperial court is becoming more and more tense, the people's hearts are indeed very important at this time. After thinking about it, Nangong Mo asked, "What does the Lord of Shanjia have?" ”
Zhu Chuyu lowered his eyes and smiled: "Where do I have anything to build?" I just want to do what I can for the people of Youzhou. I heard that in previous years, the mother concubine would also order the people in the house to give porridge in the city, so we as younger generations naturally have to emulate the virtue of the mother concubine. ”
Nangong Mo nodded slightly and was silent.
Xiao Qianchi said: "Cousin-in-law, if you have any opinions, you might as well tell me about it." ”
Nangong Mo shook his head and said, "How many soup kitchens does the county lord plan to set up?" How many days are you going to prepare for soup kitchen? What is the cost of the budget, and where is the money going to come from? ”
If Zhu Chuyu hadn't even done these things well, he wouldn't have dared to come to King Yan. He smiled calmly: "I plan to set up a place in the city to give porridge in the east, west, north and south, and in a few days it will be the birthday of the mother concubine, and it will be seven consecutive days from that day, right?" As for the money and food, it naturally came out of my dowry. If the sister-in-law and the third siblings are interested, they might as well be together. It can also be regarded as a piece of filial piety to the mother. ”
After listening to Zhu Chuyu's words, Gong Xiaodie smiled and said: "The county lord of Shanjia is commendable for his filial piety, and I will pay one hundred taels when the time comes." ”
"Thank you, concubine." Zhu Chuyu said lightly, neither humble nor arrogant.
Nangong Mo frowned slightly, Zhu Chuyu wanted to do good deeds, naturally it was a good thing, no matter what her intentions were, at least ordinary people did benefit from it. It is said that how bad it is to sell fame and reputation, it is better than not even selling fame and fishing reputation without anyone doing a good job, right? It's just that Zhu Chuyu will be a little troublesome if he pulls the princess and Sun Yan'er together. Zhu Chuyu can say whatever she wants, she will give porridge if she wants, and she naturally doesn't care about her rich family. But Chen and Sun Yan'er may not be able to withstand her doing so. But if you don't agree, wouldn't it seem that these two people are not filial to the princess?
Zhu Chuyu saw that she didn't answer for a long time, and asked, "Does my cousin-in-law think there is anything wrong?" ”
Nangong Mo shook his head and smiled: "The county lord is kind, what's wrong?" But... I think there must be a lot of pure and kind people in the center of Youzhou City, why not invite everyone to join in the grand event? Other than that... Although the soup soup can make all the people of Jinling share the kindness of their uncle, in the end... Nowadays, the weather is not good, and setting up a porridge shed is also trivial. It is better to choose people in the city who are in poor circumstances outside the city, and send some firewood and rice for the winter and things to keep out the cold. What does the county lord think? ”
"Cousin-in-law Takami!" Before Zhu Chuyu could speak, Xiao Qianchi couldn't help but praise. Xiao Qianchi also personally participated in the soup kitchen of Yanwang Mansion, and a group of people lined up in a long line in the cold wind in the winter to wait for a bowl of gruel that could be frozen cold in a short time, which felt really uncomfortable. There were really people and beggars in the city who couldn't afford to eat, but not many people really came back. And those outside the city who can't afford to eat
People who can't afford to eat, rush over for a bowl of porridge? After eating, I was hungry again, so it was better not to eat.
The smile on Zhu Chuyu's face was a little reluctant, "Cousin-in-law Gao Jian." "You said you had no opinion, but you changed my plan to nothing?! Isn't that embarrassing? She didn't believe that Yi Nangong Mo's intelligence would not understand her intention in giving porridge, and now she was pulling in the powerful people of the entire Youzhou, so what was the point? Although she has the respect of the county lord, she is also the princess of the county. But in Youzhou City, there is the princess, the county lord of Xingcheng, and the daughters of the generals of each family, who still knows her, the county lord of Shanjia?
Listening to them, King Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said directly: "Okay, since you all have no opinions, let's do what we say." When he turned back and went to the account office to pay five hundred taels, he said that he meant the king. ”
"Yes, Father."
"Yes, uncle."
King Yan looked at Nangong Mo, hesitated for a moment, and said, "The flawless body can hold it, right?" ”
Nangong Mo smiled lightly: "Thank you uncle for your concern, I'm fine." "She's really fine, she didn't have any symptoms in the early stages of pregnancy, and now it's more than four months and almost five months old. I heard how terrible the symptoms of pregnancy are before, and Nangong Mo has also seen some pregnant women, but I have to say that this baby is really well-behaved.
Coming out of the butterfly garden, the three of them went directly to Princess Yan's courtyard. It just so happened that Chen and Sun Yan'er were also talking to Princess Yan, so they talked about the matter together by the way. Listening to their words, Princess Yan patted Nangong Mo's hand and said with a smile: "It's still flawless and thoughtful, I've been giving some porridge all these years, I can't do anything else, and I can't figure it out." Since the prince has said so, the concubine will also pay two hundred taels here. ”
Since Princess Yan has said it, the Chen family and Sun Yan'er also followed one person to pay one hundred and fifty taels. Chen's face was a little unswerving, but it was not obvious. Sun Yan'er is willing, one hundred and fifty taels is within the range she can bear, and it is good to be able to do some good deeds, even if it is for the sake of her husband on the battlefield.
It's just that Zhu Chuyu, who originally wanted to do a big job, was a little depressed. If it was just Yan Wangfu's own affairs, Sun Yan'er and the Chen family would naturally not be able to compare with her, and she would naturally be the leader at that time. But now that Nangong Mo has a bunch of people, Princess Yan has only made two hundred taels, and she can't be more than Princess Yan. had to follow with one hundred and fifty taels.
Xiao Qianchi said with a smile: "It's still the mother and the father who are generous, so calculated, only our Yanwang Mansion can have more than a thousand taels." If you follow your cousin's method, you can indeed buy a lot of things. ”
Princess Yan angrily stretched out her hand and poked her son's forehead and said, "Don't ask your cousin-in-law to think about everything, be tired and flawless, be careful that your cousin comes back to clean you up." ”
Xiao Qianchi touched his nose and was speechless.
Princess Yan looked at her three daughters-in-law and said to Nangong Mo: "Since this idea was thought of flawlessly, I only saw this concubine... The matter of gathering these people will be flawless for you. ”
Nangong Mo was stunned, this matter is really not good for Princess Yan to come forward in person. After all, these things are still voluntary, and if Princess Yan comes forward, probably no one will dare to be unwilling. But she thought that this should also be handed over to the princess or Zhu Chuyu, and Sun Yan'er had to do it alone.
Soon Nangong Mo understood what Princess Yan meant, and Zhu Chuyu Princess Yan would definitely not choose. For this daughter-in-law, Princess Yan will not deliberately torture her as an evil mother-in-law, but she will not support her. What is Zhu Chuyu mentioning in front of King Yan about soup kitchen, and how can he hide it from Princess Yan? And the Chen family, Princess Yan now can't believe the heart and ability of this daughter-in-law. Take more than a hundred taels of silver and come out with a tangled and reluctant look, if something happens here, then the face of Yan Wangfu will be lost.
Then there is only one Sun Yan'er left, and Sun Yan'er is the youngest among the three concubines, so she can leave this matter to her and roast her on the fire. Princess Yan now only hopes that her three sons and brothers will be harmonious, and naturally she will not allow the three daughters-in-law to quarrel with each other. As a result, the matter can only be entrusted to Nangong Mo.
Thinking about it, Nangong Mo didn't shirk, nodded and smiled: "Since my aunt trusts me, I naturally don't give up." But I still have to ask Yan'er and her two younger siblings to help. "Since no one can dominate this matter, let's do it together.
Princess Yan nodded with a smile, and was even more satisfied with Nangong Mo, "Just do as you say, whoever dares to disobey you sue me, I will listen to you smoke them." "Such a wise and sensitive woman, but it's a pity that her son doesn't have this blessing.
"Then thank you, aunt." Nangong Mo said with a smile.
