Huayuan 1681, the first day of the first month.

Liaoyang Mansion has been stable for more than a month, and with the efforts of Yang Yingqi and Zhang Hao, this regional center is becoming more and more prosperous.

In the past two months, the northward advance of the Orihiko army can be called a god speed! The radicals are already dreaming of setting foot in Hoerning within the year, and the more conservative people feel that at least there is no problem in holding the Liao River valley. The military victory gave the merchants of southern Liaoning confidence in the Han regime, and the merchants who had planned to relocate their industries to avoid the war had already given up their thoughts, and some simply redirected their belongings to the north. It was in this context that Liaoyang Prefecture took over many industries in Liaokou and Jinmen.

However, while the businessmen were in high spirits, Yang Yingqi felt a little irritable. This was not only because he could not stop the decision of the Central Plains side to launch a full-scale attack, but also because he had just received a battle report from Zhi Yanchong: the Han army had withdrawn south to Tongzhou. With this round of the Han army's southward retreat, the strategy of the new Han regime in the northeast has changed from a high-flying strategic offensive to a strategic defense, once this situation in the north and south of the Han Dynasty becomes a foregone conclusion, it will be difficult to break it again, and it is not surprising that the competition between Huanglongfu and Tongzhou will continue for decades or even hundreds of years!

But this is not what Yang Yingqi is most worried about, after all, such a large hinterland in the Liaohe River valley is enough to establish a country, and as long as the Xinhan regime is careful, even if it loses a few battles, there is room for maneuver. What's more, now Liaoyang Mansion still has the upper hand in terms of strength against Huining, but it can't destroy the other party for a while.

What Yang Yingqi is most worried about is actually the Central Plains. Although he was the head of the Han Dynasty's government affairs, he was in Liaoyang Mansion, and the specific affairs of the Central Plains could only be handled by the important ministers on the Central Plains side, because he knew that the head of government affairs was thousands of miles away and pointed out the specific affairs of the Central Plains, which would only make the situation there worse. He also wanted to hand over the government affairs of the Liaohe River Valley to Yang Pu several times, and personally went to Shandong or Tanggu to sit down, but in the end he endured it. Now the Northeast still needs him, even if Zhang Hao and others have enough ability to govern the Liaohe River Valley, even if there is a reliable Lu Kezhong in the Liaodong Peninsula to preside over there, but Yang Yingqi is not in Liaoyang Mansion, the situation is still very different.

"That's it, I can only trust them." Yang Yingqi muttered: "Even if the situation is so bad that it can't be worse, at least we have already obtained the Liao River Valley!" Keep this territory first, even if the Central Plains loses, we have the capital to get it back! ”

"Report - Seven Generals, the cars of the two princesses have arrived outside the city!"

When Yang Yingqi heard the news, the haze on his face was three or five points less, and he hurried out of the city to greet him. When he saw Yan Hu's car, the father of Liaoyang Mansion had already welcomed the two princesses into the city. Wanyanhu's arrival played a great role in stabilizing the hearts of the people of Liaoyang, because as soon as everyone saw her, they knew that the Han Department would not withdraw easily.

"Will this be the capital again?" Some Bohai people even think so.

"Sister-in-law! I thought you wouldn't be here until tomorrow! Yang Yingqi welcomed Wan Yanhu into the mansion, with a smile on his face, and he couldn't see the slightest emotional depression.

Wan Yanhu smiled slightly: "We originally planned to come yesterday, so we can have a New Year's dinner with you." ”

Zhao Ju'er said a little embarrassedly beside her: "It's all my fault, I don't dare to ride a horse and step on the snow, otherwise I will arrive early." ”

"Sister, what are you talking about!" Wan Yanhu waved his hand and said, "How can your body be blown by this north wind?" ”

Zhao Ju'er smiled: "It's because I've been too arrogant since I was a child, and I don't have half of my sister's heroism." ”

Yang Yingqi looked at the two of them and said and answered, the relationship was very good, and said in her heart: "They are really like sisters, I don't know if it's because my sister-in-law loves her, or because Tangerine has a heart." In front of Wan Yanhu, the couple didn't say a word to themselves, but after exchanging a look when they got out of the car, Yang Yingqi came to serve Wan Yanhu.

Wanyanhu is a coarse and meticulous person, and he saw some clues, and said with a smile: "You little couple encountered this major event within a few days of their marriage, and they didn't get together properly, which is really a loss to you." While the Chinese New Year is coming, you can talk and talk about it, and ignore me. ”

Zhao Ju'er hurriedly said: "Look at what my sister-in-law said, how can this be!" Glancing at Yang Yingqi, he said a little shyly: "Anyway, we have a long life, so don't worry." ”

Wan Yanhu laughed and nodded: "That's too, don't worry, don't worry." However, after Yang Yingqi and his wife accompanied them to eat the wine that caught the wind and washed the dust, she still drove them back.

Yang Yingqi took Zhao Tanger'er to his residence, but it was a very elegant courtyard, and asked, "We are here in Liaoyang, how about it?" ”

Zhao Ju'er raised her eyes and looked at it twice, and asked, "The house you just prepared to come out of?" ”

"It's not." Yang Yingqi said: "As soon as I entered the city, I knew that you would come sooner or later, so I made arrangements very early. It's easy for the sister-in-law, just clean the palace left by the Jin people. This house was owned by a relative of Zhang Hao, and it has been more than a month since I moved in. ”

Zhao Tang'er suddenly sighed and said, "You are not by your side these days, you must be so busy that you can't eat well and sleep well." ”

Yang Yingqi was stunned, and then smiled: "How can there be!" Who do you listen to. ”

Zhao Ju'er said: "Then who else do you need to listen to?" Looking at the house, it's like no one has lived in it in a long time. Most of you eat and sleep in the office, and only leave this house to someone to take care of, right? ”

Yang Yingqi was inexplicably moved when he heard this, and said, "Hmm." ”

The two sat down on the edge of the bed, Zhao Ju'er let him wrap his hands around him, and said softly: "Although it is a critical moment now, you don't have to be too tired." And he said, "Your temperament, if things go well, will be idle, but now you suddenly become so nervous, it must be that things are not going well." During this time, I rarely inquired about political affairs, and I messed with my eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, and third sister-in-law every day, and I only heard about things on the battlefield from my sister-in-law. The battle report you reported to your sister-in-law sounded like everything was going well, did something happen recently? ”

Yang Yingqi stroked her hair and said, "Don't worry about these things, we will deal with them." ”

Zhao Ju'er said: "Are you afraid that I will worry?" But if you don't, I'll be more worried. ”

Yang Yingqi hesitated for a while, and then told his wife about Zong Ying, Cao Guangbi and others who sent troops to attack Yanyun without authorization.

Zhao Cheng'er was surprised when she heard this, and when she heard that Zhi Yanchong had withdrawn to Tongzhou, she knew that the situation was serious—with the morale of the Han Army's troops in front of her, even if she continued to besiege Huanglong Mansion, she might not be defeated by the Jin. But Zhi Yanchong suddenly made such a conservative decision, most likely because he was extremely worried about the affairs in the south, so he didn't dare to let the battlefield in the northeast have the slightest mistake.

Yang Yingqi said: "I'm thinking about whether to go to the Central Plains, after all, there is a big brother here, and there is nothing big about it." ”

Zhao Ju'er tilted her head and thought for a while: "With you and your eldest brother here, there may not be any major events on this side of the Liaohe." But if you leave, everyone may become suspicious, and then I am afraid that something big will happen. Although the Liaohe River valley is known as a million Hermes-Minds, after all, we have only been in charge of this side for a short time, and there are many places and many things that may not be as reliable as we imagined. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Yes, I also have this concern, so I haven't been able to make a decision for a long time." ”

Zhao Ju'er said again: "Actually, Zong Ying said that if he didn't go north, his morale would be hit, although this is also a reason. But there was another reason why he might not have said. ”

Yang Yingqi frowned and said, "You mean...... He wants to fight for credit? ”

Zhao Ju'er nodded.

Yang Yingqi said: "No, he is already the deputy marshal of the Qilu Military Region, and his status is on par with the second and third brothers, is this not satisfied?" ”

Zhao Tang'er sighed: "Qilang, it's not that he's not satisfied, but he's worried that his prestige and military merits are not worthy of this status!" ”
