Chapter 372: Kissing
After the end of the war, all the original residents of Xining moved back within five days, and all major events had been decided.
Ye Siming took 30,000 to the south to guard Xining, and in addition, the original 30,000 Xia troops and 40,000 Tubo troops in Xining Prefecture were also under his command.
Xining's finances alone could not afford to supply an army of 100,000. Wan Yankang made another explanation before leaving: Xining has enough money and grain for 100,000 troops for one year, and all the taxes within three years will be collected by Ye Siming, and there is no need to hand over to the central treasury, and the 30,000 Xia troops and 40,000 Tubo troops need to be appropriately abolished.
Ye Siming only made one request, three staff members from White Horse City, plus his wife and children, to go south to Xining. The task of annexing Tubo, in terms of the strength in his current hands, as long as he is steady and steady, and does not be greedy for merit, is by no means a problem.
But Ye Siming also knew that the reason why Wan Yankang let himself guard Xining and annex Tubo was also for another purpose, that is, to prevent himself from living in the Mongolian steppe for a long time.
The rotation system of high-level generals is an important military law set by Wan Yankang this year. The generals who sit on one side are appointed for a five-year term, and they are generally not re-elected unless they are in wartime. A general at the rank of deputy general and chief of staff of one side may not serve more than two consecutive terms.
With Yan Kang's prestige in the army, as long as he is alive for a day, no general who does not open his eyes dares to pull the flag and rebel. But White Horse City is the land of Wanyan Kanglongxing, Ye Siming is originally a grassland person, if he stays in White Horse City for too long, it will inevitably be criticized.
This time, after Ye Siming was appointed as the general of the expedition to the west, he understood the deep meaning and simply offered to move his family here.
There are some things in this world that you can't do, so to speak.
There are some things that can be done, but they can't be broken.
Ye Siming is so knowledgeable, he is really a gentleman and a minister, and there is no need to pierce the layer of window paper, so as not to embarrass everyone.
Wan Yankang led the rest of the army, escorted 50,000 Tibetan prisoners of war, and returned to Zhongxing.
Taking the opportunity of this great victory, Li Zunwei announced in public that he would cede the position of Emperor of Western Xia to Wan Yankang.
Wan Yankang, as the actual ruler of Western Xia, is no secret among the military and political leaders of Western Xia. Even some of the wealthy gentry families also knew about this through various channels. At this moment, Li Zunwei announced in public and announced it to the world, but it just caused some waves among the people.
In this regard, Wan Yankang had already had a case, and he only promulgated three major policies, and he quickly won the hearts of the people of Western Xia.
The whole territory of Western Xia is exempt from tax for one year, and the tax will be on par with the Jin State in the future.
The army of 300,000 was reduced to 100,000.
After March, open Enco.
All the important military and political matters have been set, and the most important things have begun to be put on the agenda.
Marry the princess of Xixia, Li Qingchen!
In Wan Yankang's original marriage plan, he took Li Qingchen from Zhongxing and returned to Zhongdu to hold another wedding. Because Li Zunwei made such a move, the schedule to take over Western Xia was advanced, and he also had to solve the Tibetan problem. After thinking about it, he still can't leave Western Xia in the short term, and he must personally sit in Zhongxing to stabilize the situation.
After some discussion with Li's mother, it was decided that the wedding would be held in Zhongxing. The auspicious day was re-selected, and various ceremonies were discussed, and Mother Li finally raised a question.
Who will be the witness?
Who is there for the man's parents?
Originally, if the wedding was arranged to be held in Zhongdu, it should have been Wanyan Honglie as the man's parent. Although Wan Yan Kang never stepped into Zhao Wang's Mansion again, nor did he meet Wan Yan Honglie in private, Wan Yan Honglie tried every means to express his remorse over the past year, and he almost didn't dig out his heart and lungs.
After Xiao Ping'an was born, Wanyan Honglie, the titular grandfather, ran to the palace almost every other day, and his love for Xiao Ping'an was incomprehensible.
Recommended, it's really good, it's worth installing one for book friends, and Android and Apple phones support it!
This made Wan Yankang's hard heart shake a little again.
But if the wedding is held in Zhongxing,
Wan Yankang had another plan. He sent five hundred peerless, led by Wang Zhitan and Li Zhiqian, to the Quanzhen Sect and asked Yang Tiexin and Bao Xiweak to go down the mountain.
Witnesses, it is just right to ask Qiu to do it.
Because the wedding date is approaching, there is less than half a moon in sight. Wang Zhitan and Li Zhiqian set off immediately after receiving the order, hurried day and night, and arrived at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain in the evening of the fourth day.
Wang Zhitan and Li Zhiqian asked Wushuang to stay at the foot of the mountain to rest, and the two of them rushed up the mountain overnight, and immediately met with Ma Yuzhen, the head of the sect, and Qiu Chuji, and presented a handwritten letter from Yan Kang.
After reading the letter, Qiu Chuji listened to the two of them tell the specific situation, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said to Ma Yu: "Senior brother, I'll go and ask Brother Yang to come over." ”
Ma Yu smiled: "Senior brother can go by himself, why bother him and his wife to walk at night." ”
Qiu Chuji nodded, and then took Wang Zhitan and Li Zhiqian to find Yang Tiexin.
After Yang Tiexin and Bao Xiqiao were sent to Zhongnan Mountain, Qiu Chuji found a waterfront place not far from the Quanzhen Sect, built a hut for them, and opened up two fields next to it. Yang Tiexin hunted in the mountains from time to time, planted some small vegetables and raised some chickens and ducklings, and his life seemed to return to twenty years ago.
For Yang Tiexin, as long as he has Bao Xi and weakness by his side, no matter how hard the days are, he will be happy.
For Bao Xiweak, this ordinary day is enough to make her feel happy.
It's a pity that Kang'er is not there......
This is what Bao Xi weakly talks about the most.
The two had just had dinner that night, cleaned up the house, and were about to turn off the lights to rest, when they heard a rough voice outside the fence: "Brother Yang, you haven't slept yet!" ”
Yang Tiexin heard that it was Qiu Chuji, and hurriedly greeted the door: "Daoist Qiu, you came just in time, I will let the Hun family prepare two more side dishes, let's have a few drinks." ”
Qiu Chuji smiled and waved his hand: "We won't drink tonight, there will be good wine for you to drink in a few days." ”
Yang Tiexin sighed, he saw that there were two disciples behind the fuselage of Qiu and came together, so there must be something important, so he simply took the initiative to ask.
"Let's go into the house and call our brothers and sisters."
After entering the house, Yang Tiexin shouted that Bao Xiqiao had seen Qiu Chuji. The three of them sat down, and Qiu Chuji handed Wan Yankang's letter to Yang Tiexin, and asked Wang Zhitan and Li Zhiqian to talk about the general situation.
"I don't know the Yang brothers and his wife, would you like to go to Zhongxing with the poor road?" Qiu Chuji asked with a smile.
Yang Tiexin almost choked: "Yes, yes!" ”
Bao Xiwan was already crying with joy, and he just nodded again and again.
Because of the urgency of time, Qiu Chuji decided to leave early tomorrow morning.
"Big brother, what clothes should we wear?" After the joy, Bao Xiqiao suddenly thought of this question.
The two of them couldn't find any good clothes for a long time, it didn't matter on weekdays, at this time, Yang Tiexin felt that it was too embarrassing to go to Xixia in a coarse linen dress.
After going to bed, Bao Xi saw Yang Tiexin tossing and turning, and couldn't help but comfort: "Big brother, don't worry, when we get to Xixia, Kang'er will arrange it." ”
Yang Tiexin snorted and pretended to be asleep. It's just that after this night, he has mixed emotions and has always been unable to sleep.
Early the next morning, Qiu Chuji and the three of them came to the outside of the hut and asked Yang Tiexin and the two to go down the mountain together. When going down the mountain, Qiu Chuji found a problem, and he hurriedly asked Wang Zhitan and the two to go down the mountain first to find a good carriage at the bottom of the mountain.
Bao Xi is weak and delicate, and he walks slowly down the mountain, and after going down the mountain, how to get to ZTE is a problem. Everyone can ride horses, but if they are weak, they can only ride in a carriage.
After Qiu Chuji and the three of them slowly descended Zhongnan Mountain, Wang Zhitan and the others had already prepared the carriage. For fifty taels of silver they bought the best carriage of the carriage and horse trade, put on two fine horses, and hired the best coachman.
From Zhongnan Mountain to Zhongxing, there is a distance of more than 1,200 miles, Wang Zhitan and their starry night journey took four days, and the return journey must be much slower.
Bao Xi got into the carriage weakly, Yang Tiexin jumped on the horse and prepared to set off, only Qiu Chuji did not move. Yang Tiexin hurriedly asked, "Daoist Qiu, when are we leaving?" ”
"Let's go now."
"Dao Chief, please hurry up."
Qiu Chuji laughed: "Brother Yang, the poor road relies on these legs, and it can't be delayed." With that, he strode forward.
Although Yang Tiexin knew that Qiu was strong in martial arts, he still had some doubts that he could keep up with the galloping horse on foot.
After an hour on the road, Yang Tiexin knew that he was indeed too worried.
The peerless hundred knights opened the way in front, and Qiu Chuji followed closely behind, only to see his vigorous figure, long sleeves fluttering, showing a relaxed and natural appearance.
"Will Chief Qiu be too tired to travel like this?" Yang Tiexin was still a little worried.
Wang Zhitan laughed: "Uncle Yang, we can practice the kung fu taught by Quanzhen, sitting, standing and walking." The golden goose gong used by the master, as long as it is not performed with all his strength, it can also help the cultivation of internal strength! ”
When Qiu Chuji heard this, he shouted: "Zhitan, Zhiqian, you also get off the horse and practice kung fu." ”
Wang Zhitan and Li Zhiqian dismounted in response to the call and began to use Jin Yangong to catch up. The two of them were far worse than the kshus, and it was very difficult to keep up with the speed of the team.
From time to time, Qiu Chuji pointed out how to be lucky and how to return to qi.
After running like this for a long time, Wang Zhitan and Li Zhiqian gritted their teeth and supported it. They know that with the Qiu Chuji by their side, this long-distance run will definitely benefit them a lot.
In this way, Yang Tiexin was a little unbearable. His riding skills were already mediocre, and he didn't sleep all night last night, so he struggled to support himself this day, and the pain between his hips and thighs was unbearable, and his spirit was extremely sleepy.
In order not to delay the progress, Yang Tiexin gritted his teeth and did not squeak, and he still didn't sleep well this night because of the pain in his hips.
On the second day, Yang Tiexin was a little wrong when he walked, and his body was a little unstable after getting on the horse.
Qiu Chuji asked, "Brother Yang, are you okay?" ”
Yang Tiexin waved his hand: "Qiu Dao Chief, it's okay, it's okay." ”
Qiu Chuji thought about it and didn't ask any more.
At noon, Yang Tiexin's body suddenly shook and fell from his horse.
Qiu Chuji had already prepared, and rushed behind Yang Tiexin in one step, and scooped him up before he fell to the ground.
The peerless warriors guarding on both sides exclaimed in amazement.
With such an outing, the brigade had to stop advancing, eat and drink, and take a short rest.
Qiu Chuji checked Yang Tiexin's pulse, asked about the situation, and couldn't help but blame: "Brother Yang, why are you so reluctant!" ”
Bao Xi couldn't help wiping away tears.
Yang Tiexin sneered: "I, I'm afraid of delaying the trip......"
Qiu Chuji's eyes widened: "You won't delay!" ”
Yang Tiexin looked embarrassed: "Daoist Qiu, it's not right to have an iron heart, just scold me." ”
Qiu Chuji snorted: "I scolded you for what you did, and you will get in the car later." ”
Yang Tiexin was still a little hesitant, Wang Zhitan saw his concern, and hurriedly interjected: "Uncle Yang, don't worry, this carriage has one more person, and the speed is still average." ”
Yang Tiexin nodded: "I'll get in the car later." ”
After he got into the carriage for half a day, Yang Tiexin felt that it still affected his travel speed a little, and on the third day, he planned to ride a horse again.
Qiu Chuji's eyes widened, and he was about to have a seizure.
Li Zhiqian hurriedly played a round: "Uncle Yang, you can take the car with peace of mind, when you arrive at Yan'an Mansion tonight, let's buy another good carriage, and we will not delay the trip." ”
Yang Tiexin nodded, and then he was relieved.
