Chapter 648: Chaos
As the snowflakes fluttered in the air for more than an hour, the entire grassland and mountains had been stained with sacred white, and the whole world seemed to be white and holy.
The cold wind mixed with the snowflakes that flew indiscriminately, and the tents at the foot of the mountain, under the guard of the Western Liao Borderless Army, stood quietly between heaven and earth, allowing the cold wind to rage but it could stand still.
With the snowflakes covering, the colorful tents are now a holy white sรจ, so that visually, people feel as if they are a barracks with no end in sight.
As soon as the green smoke poured out of the chimney on the side of the tent, it was immediately carried by the cold wind and snowflakes and disappeared into the sky.
In the barracks of Nuoda, the brown road that the patrolmen had stepped on was now muddy, but fortunately, the area around the tent in the center looked very clean and neat, and from time to time soldiers of the Frontier Army ran out to clear the snow.
As the middle tent of the Borderless Army, it can be said to be like a palace compared to the tents around it, with a distance of hundreds of steps, so that Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm were about to ask questions in their hearts, so they walked to the door of the heavily guarded tent.
As the elite of Beifu, the Wujiang Army is named after the Boundless River and the Tarim River in later generations, implying that this elite cavalry of 10,000 people can be as invincible as the Boundless River.
The thick curtain weighed dozens of catties, in order to prevent the tent from being wantonly drilled into by the cold wind, and the guards at the door looked at the waist cards of the two, so they laboriously propped up the corner of the door curtain with both hands, allowing Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm to quickly dodge in.
Although there was a sharp crackling sound of the cold wind outside beating on the thick tent, the warm tent was like spring, and the two of them instantly felt like they were in the south of the Yangtze River.
Ye Luyue, who was wearing a white sรจ fur fur, was looking at the two of them coldly at the moment, looking from top to bottom, and then followed the footsteps of the two to the direction of the tent door: "The new carpet I just changed today, let's talk about it, how do I plan to pay for it." โ
"Compensation?" Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm were stunned for a moment, and at the same time took off the sheepskin hat on their heads, and then looked behind them along with Ye Luyue's murderous gaze, only to see that where the two of them had passed just now, they left extremely eye-catching black footprints!
"I take off my shoes ......." Zhong Silkworm was startled, jumped three feet high, and then sat on the carpet and was about to take off his boots.
Mo Xiaobao also did the same, and he also sat on the carpet and planned to take off his boots.
"If you dare to take off your boots in my tent, I'll order you two to be tied to the flagpole outside and frozen!" Yeluyue, whose forehead was as white as jade, was covered with black lines, and her heart ached for a while.
Since I came to the foot of this mountain, I don't know how much precious gouache I have to use in my tent every day to get rid of the stench left by these sweaty people when they come in!
However, in a few days, the first batch of carpets has been trampled on by them like rags, and today I finally just replaced the new carpet, and I haven't fully appreciated it, but I saw the dazzling black footprints left by these two goods, which makes Yeluyue, who has always been known for cleanliness, how to stand it!
"Come on, take them out, change into boots, clothes, etc., and let them in." Ye Luyue glanced at the two lines of dazzling footprints again, and glared at the two people sitting on the carpet with murderous eyes: "Wipe these footprints clean for me!" โ
โ
You can't change it outside, Your Highness. Zhong Silkworm wailed and begged for mercy.
"For the sake of your lords, let's change it at the door." Ye Luyue snorted dissatisfiedly, and the mood to continue admiring the carpet was naturally completely gone, so she turned around and walked deeper into the tent.
Just like the room of the Han people, like the tent that Yeluyue lives in on the grassland now, it is divided into several weights, so in the tent like a labyrinth, only the little carpet at the door is trampled by Mo Xiaobao and Zhong silkworm, but it is still within Yeluyue's acceptable range.
What's more, she also ran to the outermost part of the house because of a new carpet, and she was in the center and warmest on weekdays, and even raised a few flowers in the "room".
In a small partition surrounded by the Borderless Army at the door, Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm not only had to change out of the boots covered with mud on their feet, but even the armor on their bodies was removed and placed at the door.
In the tent that was as warm as spring, the armor and weapons were removed again, and Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, as if they could jump to the top of the tent with a slight jump.
Following a Xiliao palace maid who came to pick them up, they walked into another room in the tent, and saw Ye Luyue sitting at the back of the desk making tea leisurely, and not far away was a heating iron stove, and the teapot on it was steaming white.
Whether it was Ye Qing's suggestion or Yeluyue's thoughts, he didn't intend to go toe-to-toe with Temujin, not to mention, Ye Qing had mentioned in his letter, whether it was Temujin or Sangkun, but he knew An A on the grassland, so no matter which side Ye Qing was on, he would obviously offend one of them.
Moreover, Ye Qing didn't want to make trouble for Yeluyue, and Yeluyue didn't want to have too much tension with the tribes on the grassland, so whether it was Qu Qu Lu, who was pushed out by Yeluyue, or the flower planting army led by Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm, they all had different purposes.
Yeluyue's purpose was very simple, to use the Borderless Army as the supporter behind Qu Qu Lu to force Qu Qu Lu to fight against the tribes on the grassland, so as to consume the combat power of Qu Qu Lu's Naiban tribe.
And the purpose of Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm, in addition to training the flower planting army, is to force the small tribes on the grassland not to defect to Temujin, but to Sangkun, who is now recruiting talents.
Therefore, for the tribes that are unwilling to surrender to Sangkun, they have become the target of the flower planting army and Qu Zhulu, and it has become the best whetstone for the flower planting army to train soldiers.
Between the tribes on the grassland, with the addition of the Flower Planter Army and Qu Zhulu, it has completely become a chaotic war, and this result naturally gives Sankun finally a chance to breathe, and similarly, the conflict between the Xia people and the tribes conquered by Temujin has also invisibly prevented Temujin from expanding his power on the grassland like a snowball.
As the tribes on the grassland become fewer and fewer, Zamuhe, who has always been arrogant and arrogant, also thinks that he will be the true son of heaven who conquers all the tribes on the grassland, so the treatment given to him by the Jin people is not enough to satisfy his ambitions.
At the same time, he also began to fantasize about whether he would have to bow down to the Jin people if one day he could conquer Temujin and Sangkun, or let the Jin people make him a king in order to be worthy of his strength.
The chaotic war on the grassland became more and more lively when it entered the wax moon of the thirteenth year of Chunxi, just like the atmosphere of the Yuan Day when the Southern Song Dynasty court was about to arrive, a small fight in three days and a big fight in five days has become a routine operation on the grassland
ใ
For Ye Qing in Yangzhou, the problems he is facing now are more difficult than the chaotic war on the grassland, and they give him a headache.
The imperial court actually took the initiative to let the Imperial City Division send Bai Chun, Yan Tingcheng, mother and son to Yangzhou to spend the first day with Ye Qing, so Lord Ye's backyard is now almost the same as the chaotic war on the grassland, and it is also a small quarrel for three days and a big quarrel for five days.
In short, Bai Chun and Yan Qingcheng, who gave birth to two male heirs for the Ye family, have always been looked down upon unfavorably, and have failed to make any contribution to the succession of the Ye family.
So between the wife faction and the concubine faction, after the first three days of the first arrival, it became a situation of undercurrent surging and saber rattling every day, so that Ye Zhifu, as the leader of the alliance, could only hold Ye Wujian and lead Ye Gucheng every day, followed by Fang Fei in Yangzhou City, so as to avoid the war in the backyard affecting him, the "innocent" alliance leader.
"Lord Ye, take your children on the street...... Someone on the street recognized that the person who was holding one, hugging one, and followed by a little lady was Ye Zhifu, so he greeted him politely.
"Haha...... Yes, take the child to see the world of Yangzhou City. Someone replied awkwardly.
"Lord Ye, I heard that Mrs. has come to Yangzhou?" There will always be people who are not interested in making Lord Ye even more embarrassed.
"Haha...... Yes, take the child to see the world of Yangzhou City. Someone replied numbly.
"Lord Ye, you always bring the United States with you every day in Yangzhou, and now Mrs. Ye is here......." Walking less than 100 meters, the third person greeted Governor Ye warmly.
"Haha...... Yes, take the child to see the world of Yangzhou City. "Someone's expression looks like they're going to cry.
Fang Fei followed behind Ye Qing, her head could not be lowered any longer, and from time to time she had to face the curiosity of the three-year-old Ye Gucheng, looking at her eyes from the bottom up, she was already embarrassed in her heart and couldn't be embarrassed anymore, she knew that this was the case, it was better to be more calm about the war between the wives and concubines at home.
A carriage hurriedly passed by the four people, but just after a short time, the carriage immediately stopped, the curtain opened, Zhao Shichun looked at Ye Qing who was holding the child, and then looked at Ye Gucheng who was held by Fang Fei behind him, and said, "Driven out again?" โ
"What is this called? I took my children to see the world of Yangzhou City. Someone stood still by the carriage and said righteously.
Zhao Shichun continued to lift the curtain of the car, looked at Ye Wujian in Ye Qing's arms with a smile, and then looked at Ye Gucheng, who saluted him, and then said, "Tsk...... Lord Ye, I'm afraid you've already turned around Yangzhou City with your two children, right? How? My Great Song royal family can be inherited by children and grandchildren, do you think that the position of the pacification envoy and the prefect of Huainan East Road can also be inherited by the descendants of the pacification envoys of various roads? So, Lord Ye, you are letting them familiarize themselves with ...... in advance. โ
"Are you done? How can I chirp crookedly like a girl, I'm out to relax. Ye Qing said angrily.
"Clearly, there are many beautiful wives in this family, and men like to go out for a walk, and I don't know why, Lord Ye, do you think this will be like what Xin Qiji said yesterday, this is a disease, called fear of guilt!" After Zhao Shichun finished speaking, without waiting for Ye Qing to stretch out his hand, he immediately lowered the curtain, and then motioned to the coachman to take out the stirrup, and after getting out of the carriage, asked Fang Fei to take Ye Gucheng and Ye Wuqian into the carriage, while he and Ye Qing drove away the coachman, sat on the wheels left and right, and rushed to the direction of the western suburbs.
