Chapter 722: A Lifetime of Love (26)
This starts from the strategic location of Yulin, which is located between the North Desert and the South Yan, and belongs to the barrier land. After hundreds www.biquge.info of years of operation, Yulin has become the main base of agriculture and animal husbandry in the northern part of the Northern Desert. In addition, because of its proximity to Nanyan, the logistics and commerce are very developed, and in the prosperous season of trade between the two countries, the prosperity in Yulin City is not inferior to Yanjing.
In terms of geographical location, Yulin is relatively high in altitude, surrounded by mountains, and belongs to the terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
For three days in a row, the court discussed this issue, and the courtiers were divided into two camps, war and non-war, and those who advocated no war accounted for the majority.
In a good period of peace, the days are beautiful, and the war is provoked for no reason, in the hearts of those old ministers, King Yan is simply full.
However, King Yan insisted on being abnormal, even if the ministers were opposed, he still "insisted on going his own way". The old ministers had no choice but to go straight to Changle Palace to meet the queen mother after going down to the court, hoping that this old lady would come forward to take care of King Yan.
Since the last time the king of Yan told the queen mother to let her rest and recuperate, and not to meddle in the matter, the old lady was very obedient, in addition to eating and sleeping every day, she walked around in the garden and had little desire. There were so many people in front of her, and they were noisy, and she was dizzy when she saw it.
It took her a while to understand what these old guys were saying, and when she heard that King Yan was going to attack Yulin, she couldn't help but be startled, and lost her voice: "Why is this?" ”
yes, why? Old ministers, look at me, I look at you, and then I saw Doctor Zuo Yu Shi stand up and sighed, "It would be good if the old minister knew why, if he knew the reason and found out the root knot of the king, we would also be able to persuade him." But the problem is, we don't know why, in the past three days of court discussions, the king only said that if we capture Yulin, there are many benefits, and there is also the probability of our attack on Yulin, etc., but he does not talk about the reason. Queen Mother, we really can't find you, I hope you can persuade the king, don't let him come nonsense......"
After Zuo Yushi finished speaking, Right Cheng stood up and continued: "To say that a hundred years ago, this Yulin was indeed the territory of our Southern Yan, at that time, the Northern Desert was strong, and the relationship between the two countries was bad, so Yulin was taken away by the Northern Desert. But things have passed a hundred years, not to mention that now Beimo intends to make friends with us, and sent Princess Yunxian to make peace with His Royal Highness King Chen, it has only been a year, if we send troops to Yulin coldly and spread it, people will only say that we Nanyan are untrustworthy and unrighteous. ”
When it comes to Unzen, the Queen Mother can't help but think of the thrilling scene that made her a few days ago, and she still dreams when she thinks about it now.
Her eldest son is meant to belong to Yunxian, which is understandable, because of this, she also feels that the move of attacking Yulin is strange, that Northern Desert is the mother country of Yunxian, under normal circumstances, if the king favors a princess who is close to him, shouldn't he be friendly with his mother country?
The queen mother's mind was also confused, and after thinking about it for a while, she didn't understand, so she promised these old ministers that she would ask the king what he meant.
Then the ministers dispersed with hope.
……
King Yan went down to the court and walked into the Royal Dragon Palace in high spirits, Jiang Muxue slept in the Royal Dragon Palace for the past three days, in front of Jiang Muxue, King Yan suppressed his idea of attacking Yulin, and Jiang Muxue also pretended not to know.
On this day, King Yan couldn't hold back anymore and took the initiative to mention this matter, and Jiang Muxue was silent for a while.
In fact, even she couldn't figure out why. There is a change in King Yan, this is true, but she has never guessed why.
"The king wants to attack Yulin, what are the odds of winning? Is there enough food and grass for soldiers and horses? Who are the generals leading the troops ready to use? How long will the war last? Is there a strategy? ”
Jiang Muxue asked several questions in a row, but King Yan was silent with a smile.
However, that smile completely betrayed his mind, especially the confident eyes, which couldn't be hidden.
Could it be that this person was suddenly touched by God's head, and the aura was opened?
Jiang Muxue smiled and shook her head, since he didn't want to say it, then she didn't ask much.
King Yan was about to have an interesting gamble with Jiang Muxue, but he heard Jin An come in and say that the queen mother had arrived.
Jiang Muxue got up and got out of bed in pain, ready to greet her, but was stopped by King Yan. And King Yan himself, after a slight pause, walked out with his collar straight.
The mother and son exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the queen mother brought forward her intentions, however, from beginning to end, it was said by Jiang Muxue. In an instant, a certain woman was embarrassed and wanted to laugh.
King Yan cleared his throat and didn't hide his current identity, "Queen Mother, it's me." ”
One sentence is that I made the old lady distracted, she stared at King Yan motionlessly, and after a while, she walked to her eldest son with an excited face, touched his face, and pulled his sleeve, almost tearful, "You guys...... You guys switched back again? ”
Yan Wang and Jiang Muxue nodded at the same time.
The old lady suddenly turned around, folded her hands, and cried, "Thank you, God! Thank God! ”
Jiang Muxue helped her to the chair and held her a cup of tea, and King Yan sat down beside her, and said bluntly, "The queen mother came this time for Yulin's business, right?" If it is because of this, the lonely king also asks the queen mother not to mention it, Yulin, the lonely king is going to be decided. ”
The old lady was stunned, the brilliance in her eyes dimmed a lot, and she smiled lightly, "The matter of the previous dynasty, it is inconvenient for the mourning family to interfere, and it doesn't mean that." It's just that I've been annoyed by the old men's quarrel in the past two days, since the king doesn't want to tell them the inside story, let's talk to my mother, before everything starts to be done, there must be a reason, right? ”
She didn't say she was against it, she just wanted a reason.
In Jiang Muxue's opinion, this request is not too much.
In addition, she also knew each other, so she quietly pricked up her ears, intending to listen more carefully. But King Yan disappointed the two of them, "There is no reason to fight Yulin, King Gu just took back the land that originally belonged to our Nanyan." ”
The old lady listened to these words quite vigorously, but the woman standing in front of her was from the Northern Desert, and the queen mother felt that her son was a little open-mouthed, and couldn't help but look at Jiang Muxue.
found that this Yunxian princess had no objection except for being a little surprised.
"Yunxian has married the Lone King, who is from Nanyan."
King Yan said without blinking. The Empress Dowager immediately understood what he meant.
Since the son insisted, and the daughter-in-law had no opinion, what else could she say? So I didn't mention this topic, and changed it, "Then who does the king plan to send on the expedition?" ”
Jiang Muxue had already asked this question just now, but King Yan pretended not to hear it, but as soon as the Queen Mother asked, he immediately reacted, "Naturally, I am the famous god of war in Dayan." ”
King Chen?
Jiang Muxue's mind was in a mess, and she didn't know what King Yan had in mind.
The old lady was even more frightened. (To be continued.) )
