Li Cunxiao led his subordinates to take refuge in Xiao Rui, seeing this scene, Xiao Rui was overjoyed and immediately helped him up, and said with a smile: "General De'an, a tiger general, Daxia will definitely be like a tiger with wings!" Get up, get up! ”

After Li Cunxiao got up, he said with a smile: "Your Highness, An Jingsi is my foreign real name, but I grew up with my father-in-law, who is Han, so he gave me the name of a man, called Li Cunxiao." Today, I took my brothers to His Royal Highness, which is a new beginning, so in the future, I will be Li Cunxiao, not An Jingsi. ”

Xiao Rui nodded and said with a smile: "Okay!" Then we will call you Li Cunxiao in the future, and now go back to the camp with me! ”

In this way, Xiao Rui effortlessly subdued 20,000 soldiers and horses, avoiding greater casualties. Changsheng Hou Tian Boyuan was also overjoyed when he saw Xiao Rui subduing Li Cunxiao, and immediately rewarded the three armies to celebrate.

And as the last resistance in Qijiang County disappeared, the soldiers and horses of Great Xia quickly struck and immediately occupied the east bank of the Qijiang River, and the army was killed by the Qijiang River. Frightened, the Qijiang battalion and the navy were ready to fight, for fear of crossing the river in Great Xia.

Of course they won't cross the river! There are not so many ships!

Then choose a suitable location on the east bank, and directly set up a water camp by Gan Ning, although there is nothing, it has just started, but now with the support of the Great Xia soldiers and horses, Gan Ning no longer has to worry about being surrounded and suppressed by the Qijiang battalion.

A few days later, the army of Han Ming, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, came from the south, they set out from Xiangzhou, came north, and the Zhao army in the five major counties along the way was all annihilated, and the Xia Emperor also sent more troops to occupy these occupied counties and began to manage and control.

The two armies met, and Xiao Rui also met Chen Qingzhi and Han Xin.

"Subordinates Chen Qingzhi and Han Xin, meet His Royal Highness the Prince!" The two bowed.

A year ago, they parted ways in Xiangzhou, Xiao Rui was still the king of Xian at that time, and now Xiao Rui is already the prince. Chen Qingzhi was also promoted from the deputy commander-in-chief who had no real power and hung a false name to command tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and Han Xin changed the most, from a servant to a deputy commander-in-chief!

Xiao Rui smiled: "Hurry up!" Ha ha... The performance of the two of you is good, and in the face of Zhao Guo's soldiers and horses, you have repeatedly won more with less, and you have played the majesty of Great Xia. If it weren't for Qin's invasion of Zhao, which caused Emperor Zhao to take back the troops sent to the south, your two military merits would have been even higher! ”

Chen Qingzhi and Han Xin smiled from ear to ear, being so praised by the lord, the hard work of the past year has been worth it!

Subsequently, Xiao Rui introduced Zhang Liang, Gan Ning, and Li Cunxiao to each other, and they naturally became more familiar with their colleagues when they cooperated in the future.

Subsequently, Xiao Rui also met Changsheng Hou Han Ming, and the two were also old acquaintances, after all, it was Xiao Rui who saved his life. Chatting and chatting, everyone turned the topic to the current situation.

Xiao Rui opened his mouth and said: "The Zhao State is divided into east and west by the Qijiang River, and there are still two northern counties that have not yet been occupied, according to the speed of King Duan, it is estimated that it will take some time." Just waiting for King Duan to come to converge, this expedition to Zhao can be regarded as a successful completion of the task. The fourteen counties east of the Qijiang River have all been included in the territory of Great Xia, expanding our territory by one-third. ”

Tian Boyuan and Han Ming looked at each other and smiled.

Tian Boyuan said humbly: "Fighting on the battlefield is the responsibility of a soldier in armor, and the last general and others do not ask for rewards. It's just a pity that I can't get through the Qijiang River and go straight to the imperial capital of Zhao! Destroy the Zhao Kingdom with your own hands! ”

Han Ming nodded, also with some regret.

Xiao Rui didn't think about it, and said: "Emperor Zhao is dead, it doesn't matter whether the Zhao Kingdom is destroyed or not!" But we can't take it lightly! After the Qin State destroyed the Zhao State, the next enemy we faced was the Qin State! Compared with the Zhao State, the Qin State is recognized as the number one power in the Shenzhou Continent! Although the Qijiang River is a barrier, it is not a dead end, and it will be on the bar after all! Qin's ambition to unify Shenzhou will not make them give up the pace of the Eastern Crusade, so your task is heavy and there is a long way to go! ”

Everyone got up and saluted, "The last general understands!" ”

Xiao Rui waved his hand and asked everyone to sit down, then looked at Tian Boyuan and asked, "Master Hou, you are the general of Zhao, do you think you still need to send troops to support King Duan?" Capture the two northern counties as soon as possible and solve them as soon as possible. ”

Tian Boyuan thought for a while, and then said: "The northern resistance force is weak, with the speed of King Duan, it will take more than ten days, the last general suggested sending Chen Qingzhi and Han Xin to the north, these two people are masters of leading troops to fight, and the soldiers are very fast, let them and His Royal Highness King Duan, complete all the finishing work within six days." Old Han, what do you think? ”

Han Ming smiled: "I have no objection. ”

Tian Boyuan looked at Xiao Rui again and asked, "What does Your Highness think?" ”

Xiao Rui smiled: "I'm just a prisoner, everything is arranged by the Hou Ye." ”

Tian Boyuan immediately ordered Chen Qingzhi and Han Xin to repair their troops and horses, and lead 20,000 troops north tomorrow.

When night falls, the Gyrfalcon in Kyoto returns with a letter.

After Xiao Rui opened it, he saw Jia Xu's familiar font:

"Your Highness is above, everything is fine in Kyoto, worry-free. However, during this time, the killers of Zhao and Qi, who were hiding in the territory of Great Xia, began to fight back, trying to assassinate the imperial court officials and imperial relatives and disrupt the order of Great Xia. His Majesty ordered the Dongchang to search and arrest, but it did not cause chaos. In order to protect the bloodline of the imperial family, His Majesty has ordered that all the princes who have been sent as officials abroad be recalled to Kyoto. At this time of writing, His Royal Highness the Tang King had returned to Beijing, and His Royal Highness the Ming King was far away in Fuzhou and had not returned to Beijing for the time being. After returning to Beijing, all the princes did not have any official positions and did not need to go to court. ”

Seeing this, Xiao Rui immediately smiled, Xiao Yan had not been sent to be an official for a few months, and he had returned to Kyoto again. However, looking at His Majesty's intentions, since the crown prince has been appointed, it seems that he intends to let other princes be idle princes.

Qin Lie, King of Jin, Xiao Ze of Wu, Xiao Yuan, King of Ming, Xiao Jing, Xiao Yan of Tang, plus Xiao Rui and Xiao Feng, these brothers can get together in Kyoto.

It doesn't matter if you get together, that is, if you want to move out of the tablet of Xiao Yiheng, the king of Chu, although Xiao Rui and the princess Li Xiu'er are what, they are not frightened, but they don't know if Xiao Feng is afraid.

The other princes have been recalled to Kyoto, but what about Xiao Feng?

This time, Xiao Feng is returning to Beijing, but continues to lead troops abroad?

Xiao Rui couldn't guess his father's plan, so it depended on his own calculations.

Xiao Rui continued to look down:

"Potatoes, corn and peppers are about to be harvested! Under Jia Sixian's careful cultivation, the output budget is huge. Xiao He has contacted all parties and expects that the sowing after autumn will cover the entire land of Gyeonggi. ”

……

Jia Sixun and Xiao He cooperated, so that Xiao Rui had no worries, taking advantage of the impact of the Xiaoice River period has just begun, seize the time to expand the scale of planting, and better cope with the next disaster.

The life of the people is very simple, nothing more than food, clothing, shelter and transportation.

Not to mention for the time being, in terms of housing, except for the homeless, the people of Daxia basically have houses, even if they are grass houses, they can also keep out the rain, but they are afraid of encountering more severe weather, such as heavy snow, hail, storms, etc.

Poor people were unable to build solid houses, and strong winds blew roofs.

The next step is to return to Beijing, Xiao Rui is ready to study cement!

Xiao Rui doesn't know the specific production process of cement, but the general process can still say two sentences, when the time comes, brainstorming, and the technicians of the Tiger Pavilion to study the staff, even if you can't produce the strength of the cement in the previous life, it doesn't matter, the quality is slightly worse than the lime painted wall!

Corn and potatoes are the solution to the food problem, and action has already begun.

In the end, the clothes remained.

The biggest feature of the Xiaoice period is cold, and the cold of these two winters has been seen, and if it is cold, more poor people will freeze to death.

It's a pity that there is no cotton in Great Xia! There is not even the word "cotton", only "cotton"!

It's not just that Great Xia doesn't, it's that there is no such plant as cotton in the Shenzhou Continent at all, just like corn and land, which is a foreign thing.

In the previous life, cotton was comprehensively promoted throughout the country, and it was also during the Ming Dynasty. Now the people of the Shenzhou Continent, the dignitaries and nobles are filled with silk cotton to keep out the cold, or furs and cloaks made of animal fur, and they can also burn charcoal, and they can't freeze.

But the poor people could only fill their clothes with hemp wool, plant fibers, reed wool, straw, and even paper!

That's right, it's paper!

There is a poem: "A bed of bright moon covers a dream, and a few feet of white clouds sleep coldly." Wear the strong wind to warm the wine, and listen to the cold rain to warm the cotton. ”

This is the description of a paper quilt.

In the cold Xiaoice period, the dignitaries and nobles were safe, but what about the poor people?

So this time Shen Wansan sailed, Xiao Rui explained three things to him, the first was to find a carnivore suitable for breeding, that is, a white pig. The second is to look for suitable crops, and the third is to look for cotton.

With cotton, relying on the system of the imperial court to forcibly promote, the people can have the support to survive the cold winter.

Xiao Rui is not a saint, he just wants to prevent so many people from dying for no reason through his own efforts.

These are Xiao Rui's plans, he has never mentioned them to others, only Shen Wansan knows and is extremely curious, why can His Royal Highness pinch it, could it be that he has been there?

Putting down the letter, Xiao Rui's thoughts drifted to the Qi Kingdom.

Champion Hou has already taken Fengtianfu City.

Two-thirds of the southern part of Qi was also occupied by Great Xia, and the northern Yuan State of Qi was also frantically seizing and exploiting Qi.

Qi Guo, like Zhao Guo, sought his own death with the tiger, and couldn't complain about others. However, what is better about Qi than Zhao is that the Qi Emperor is still benevolent, and the Qi army is still somewhat capable. But it's a pity, who called Daxia and Yuan too fierce, even if Emperor Qi had certain means, it would be difficult to turn the tide.

So, if you don't have the ability, don't be foolish, and in the end you hurt yourself, look at Yan Guo, how obedient you are. Directly allied with the Xia State, if the Yan State started a war with Xia and Wei at the same time, without the Xia State making a move, the Yan State would have been destroyed. If it weren't for Xia Guo's best efforts to protect him, with the conspiracy of Wei and Zhao, Yan Guo would have been finished early!

This trip has been out for more than two months, and it was very hot when I came, and now it is autumn, and I also killed Emperor Zhao to avenge my revenge, and I should go back when I calculate the time.

However, we still need to wait a few more days, at least wait for the end of the king Xiao Feng to converge and completely solve the east of the Qi River, and at the same time, Xiao Rui has other plans!
