"Subordinate, this will be arranged, please wait for the good news for Your Highness. Hehe! Yu Wenhua smiled and replied confidently.

"Your Highness, there are also three secret letters here about the Tuyuhun garrison and the recent transfer of troops and horses, please also look at them and make arrangements as soon as possible." Liu Wenjing took out three documents and handed them to Yang Secondhand.

"Okay, put it here first, this king has time to take a look. Let's go back first, two gentlemen! Yang Er did feel a little tired at this time, and seeing that these three secret letters were not very important, he asked the two of them to go back first, and then study them after resting.

At this moment, Zhong Jian walked in quickly from outside the door and saluted the three of them: "Brother Shi, two adults, there is a person outside who claims to be Dong Ke of the Qianhu of Hedong of the Military Intelligence Department, saying that there is an urgent matter to find the two adults. ”

When Liu Wenjing and the others heard this, they were immediately shocked.

Yu Wenhua hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and let Dong Qianhu report closely." After speaking, he hurriedly looked at the chief officer Liu Wenjing, which was Liu Wenjing's face shocked. If it weren't for the big thing, this thousand households would never chase them to the palace to find the two of them. Yang Er saw the looks of the two, and knew that this military intelligence department must have brought shocking news.

"My subordinates have met the prince Chitose and have seen two adults." Qianhu Dong Ke was led directly into the hall by Zhong Jian, and then saluted the three of them.

"Dong Qianhu, why are you so panicked that you want to come here to see you?" Yu Wenhua got up and asked sharply.

"Lord Wang, my lord, my subordinates have just received the urgent information from Wang Qianhu of Jingshi, the matter is very important, I don't dare to delay the slightest, and the express horse rushed to deliver it to my lord." Dong Qianhu said, and hurriedly took out the secret letter in the bamboo tube in his hand and handed it to Yu Wenhua, who greeted him.

Yu Wenhua took the secret letter, and didn't want to directly transfer it to Yang Second-hand Middle School.

"Huh? -----" Yang Er took it and unfolded it, and couldn't help but be shocked, and cried out in a lost voice.

Seeing this, Liu Wenjing hurriedly grabbed the secret letter and watched it carefully, and then couldn't help frowning. casually handed the secret letter to Yu Wenhua and.

"Your Highness, what does the emperor mean by this?" Yu Wenhua read the secret letter and hurriedly asked. It's like asking yourself.

"Humph! Lord Yuwen, can't you see that this is a princeling's plan? Let the prince supervise the army, we will spend money and food, and fight a war, won't we make wedding clothes for others? What a calculation! Liu Wenjing said angrily to Yu Wenhua.

"Your Highness, this must be Yang Su'er's idea, to use the crown prince to control our army and snatch the credit. If you don't succeed in this battle, it will be useless to send troops, I hope Your Highness will think twice! Yu Wenhua and Gong Shi Li sincerely suggested to Yang Er. Liu Wenjing on the side also nodded with his beard, agreeing with Yu Wenhua's statement.

Yang Er paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, not making a decision immediately, he was frowning and thinking with his head down, weighing. Then he stopped and turned to the two confidant ministers and said: "Now that my Hedong County has made preparations for this expedition in all aspects, the army is about to start tomorrow, and the morale of the three armies is booming, and the desire to fight is strong. If the troops suddenly stop at this time, the morale of our army will suffer a heavy setback, which is really unwise! After saying this, Yang Er fell into thought again. Liu Wenjing and the two looked at each other, and seeing that Yang Er was thinking, it was inconvenient to talk immediately, rubbing his hands, and could only wait quietly for Yang Er to continue.

"Humph! My father, the emperor, is also a little pedantic, although this king has been released, he is not in the capital. But my father is still wary of me in his bones, and my father is afraid that I will monopolize the merits, and the limelight will overshadow the prince and the prince will be disadvantageous. Alas! That's fine. This king has fulfilled the heart of his father. After all, this battle is for my Great Sui to defend against external troubles, not for the prince. It's just that since the crown prince is going to accompany the army, this king has to arrange something for him here. After that, he turned to face Yu Wenhua and said: "This time there is Mr. Lao Huahe and this king, on the surface, he is the king's military adviser and counselor, but in fact, he accompanies my prince brother and monitors the army. He is stubborn by nature, greedy for wine, so let him eat and drink well in our army, and bring a few beautiful women to him, once he is out of the supervision of his father and queen mother, he still does not show his true nature, this heavy snow is all over the sky, dripping into ice season, and he does not want to participate in the military affairs of the king in front of the army. Hehe! What are you afraid of! ”

As soon as Yang Er's remarks came out, he immediately dissolved the knot between Liu Wenjing, Yu Wenhua and the two, and couldn't help nodding and laughing softly.

"Your Highness's plan is brilliant, the prince is a person who is greedy for pleasure, if he is rumored to be unbearable in the army afterwards, hehe! Then he doesn't want to talk about his military exploits, I'm afraid it will ruin his reputation even more. Yang Su'er's plan backfired, I really want to see his bitter face! Hehe! The lower official is willing to be ordered to follow His Highness on the expedition. Yu Wenhua was in a happy mood at this time, and happily took the task given to him by Yang Er. This errand of playing with others is also a beautiful errand, like giving yourself a long vacation, which is much better than being busy every day in the Military Intelligence Department. Liu Wenjing, who was on the side, heard that Yu Wenhua was going to go, so she could only shake her head slightly, with a wry smile on her face. Subsequently, Yu Wenhua hurriedly turned around and arranged for Dong Ke, a thousand households in Hedong County, to hurry up and go to several brothels in the city to recruit the Oiran of his town courtyard to accompany the army, don't stick here.

After chatting a few words about the details of the work such as the arrangements for the military intelligence department to be stationed in Jinyang, Hebei, Henan and Shandong after the beginning of spring next year, it was getting late, and Yang Er was really tired at this time, so they let the two leave.

"Zhong Jian, you dead fat man, where did you go?" Yang Er saw that the two had gone away, so he spread out on the seat and shouted weakly to Zhong Jian outside the door.

"Brother Shi, I'm here, if you have any orders, the younger brother will do it immediately." After Zhong Jian heard Yang Er's lazy call outside the door, he hurriedly dodged into the hall and asked.

"Aren't you hungry after running all the way? I went to the canteen of the logistics department next door to bring my brother a braised beef noodle to me, and I starved to death. Yang Er saw that this guy was quite energetic, so he ordered.

"Okay! Little brother will go now, and it will be done in minutes. With that, he turned around and ran out.

"Remember to give the dust girl a plain noodle too, don't just take care of yourself." Yang Er hurriedly shouted to Zhong Jian, who was going out.

"Well, a beef noodle, a somen noodle, a braised elbow, roast chicken, just go and come." Zhong Jian ran away with a smoke.

Damn, why do I think of eating noodles when I'm hungry, why haven't I thought about eating elbows and chicken? When he was about to ask Zhong Jian to ask for more roast chicken, he saw that this guy had already run out of the courtyard and disappeared.

At this time, Chuchen walked in with a basin of hot water and put the towel in his hand on the desk. Yang Er hurriedly got up when he saw it, and said with a smile: "It's still my sister who has eyesight, not like that Zhongjian rough person." With that, he took a towel and scrubbed it.

After being scrubbed with a hot water towel, Yang Er suddenly felt much better.

"My brother is going to inspect the army tomorrow, so why don't you take Tugu Hun in one go, but you want to set up a new single king for it? Isn't it a failure? Seeing that Yang Er was still scrubbing, Chuchen asked softly on the side.

"Huh! The sister doesn't know, this time for the brother to fight a battle can be set Tuguhun, as for how to march, I have also talked to my sister before. But now that the general trend is undesirable, for the sake of brother, he still needs to let Natuyuhun temporarily linger. If you return with all your achievements, you will be jealous and suspicious of those who have a heart in the court, and you will be hated by others, and you will slander your father and emperor, but it will not be beautiful. This expedition only needs to defeat Murong Shan Yu so that he does not dare to covet my Wuwei borderland. Furthermore, the winter combat strength of our Hedong Jin army can be tested through this battle. ”

Izuku listened and nodded. Then he said: "Brother Shi, when inspecting General Wu Yunzhao's Ma Jun during the day, the little sister saw Ma Jun's crossbow for the first time, it was very interesting, small and lightweight, you can hide it with you, it is a sharp weapon for self-defense, can you also distribute one to the little sister and senior brother, and protect the life of the brother at the critical moment?" ”

"What's so difficult about this, before the army starts tomorrow, you ask Zhong Jian to find him Brother Ma, just say what this king said, get 100 cavalry crossbows, each with 50 crossbow arrows, and equip all the king's personal guards." After Yang Er wiped the water marks on his hands, he put down the towel and whispered to Chuchen. I thought to myself, if it wasn't for the dust, I would have really forgotten about it. Good things, the people around me have forgotten to equip them, what a mistake! Do you want to give your own guards a short fire as well? Yang Er hesitated a little.

The night in the north seems to be very long in winter, and it is already past the morning, and the sky has not yet brightened, but the light snow overnight has covered the entire Luzhou City with a layer of silver.

However, including the Jin Palace, the Logistics Department, the Military Intelligence Department, the Luzhou Mansion and the major military camps, they did move early, and they had breakfast everywhere at the same time. The 50,000 troops designated for this time also assembled outside the city in batches and stood by to be deployed. Yang Er and his entourage were also well prepared and ready to set off at any time under the arrangement of coming to Hu'er, Yang Er wore a full set of thick down jackets, and a mink fur coat from the Turkic tribute was also draped outside, and a mink hat covered his head tightly, revealing only two eyes and an opening for breathing.

At this time, Yang Erzheng took Uncle Ma's hand and said, "Brother Ma, junior brother, I will go back in February at least this time, and I will return in March at most." Hurry up with all the things that our brothers have discussed! Don't delay, this time the little brother didn't have time to use grenades, mines and other things, but next year there will be a lot of these good things. This time, the younger brother slaughtered the Turkic man fiercely, and it was expected that the Sha Bolu Khan must have recorded the revenge of the younger brother. Once he eases up next year, he will most likely go south to find his younger brother for revenge, and he may also join forces with Li Yuan, in a compelling form! The work at hand must be done quickly. Both long-range melee firearms must be available, just like the crossbows and horizontal knives that were equipped for the Ma army this time, thanks to the brother's bothering. Yang Er said in a rambling voice.

"Brother, just take care of your body, don't be caught and hacked to death by Tuyuhun, but be frozen to death by the weather of dozens of degrees below zero. What a big deal! Isn't it just some smashing cannons? Brother, I used to use the detonator when I used to fry fish in the river, so isn't it easy to make a few cannons? Don't worry, you'll be able to catch up next time you fight. By the way, how many "no conscience cannons" are you going to make? Brother, I've seen it, and the current casting level can make large-caliber cannon barrels. Uncle Ma put his hands in his cuffs and whispered to Yang Er.

"Yes! As long as you can kill the enemy from a distance, you can get it, but you must be careful not to set yourself on fire, gunpowder is flammable and explosive. ”

"This should be noted, mainly because migrant workers in this era have no sense of safety, and my brother is right to remind me." Ma Shumou thought that he would definitely not have a problem, but he would inevitably be accidentally blown up by others again, so he had to find a way to avoid it.

"Also, I'll talk to Tong Huan later, let him be your assistant, and by the way, be your bodyguard, don't you have a crush on other people's girls? Let's get along with someone else's big brother first. Yang Er squeezed his eyes and said to Ma Shumou.

"Okay! That's a good feeling. After dealing with his brother-in-law, his sister-in-law didn't run away. Brother, thank you brother first! Hey! Uncle Ma's eyes were about to laugh, and he said stupidly, like a daughter-in-law who assigned him a warm kang head.

"In exchange, brother, when I come back, I will see a warm kang in the house! How to build this warm kang in northern Shaanxi, you have to find a way. Yang Er said with a smile, this winter is too cold, and he doesn't have a daughter-in-law to warm the bed, and there is no electric blanket air conditioner, so sleeping at night these days is simply a crime.

"Gotcha! Brother, I'm piggybacking on the two little ondols for your little followers. If someone asks me to build it, it starts with a hundred taels of silver. Ma Shumou seemed to see another business opportunity to make money, and his heart was beautiful at this time.

The two were talking, when Tong Huan and Lai Hu'er walked over. The two of them were also tightly wrapped, and the entire set of leather armor was worn on the outside of the down jacket, only the face was not as tightly wrapped as Yang Er.

"Lord, when will it be pulled? The 50,000-strong army was already waiting in line outside the city, and General Yuwen sent a deputy general to ask. Laihu'er asked after stepping forward to give a salute.

"You go and talk about it, let the people outside the city wait a while, and this king will be there soon." Yang Er instructed Laihu'er that he was trying to ask someone to find Tong Huan, but he didn't want Tong Huan to come by himself.

Seeing that Laihu'er had gone out, he stopped Tong Huan and said, "General Tong, wait a minute, this king has something to say." ”

Tong Huan originally wanted to go with Laihu'er, but he was about to turn around and not want to be stopped, so he couldn't help but turn around and salute Yang Er: "Please have something to say, and the general will definitely do it." ”

"General Tong, you are the general of this prince's family, and you are also familiar with this Uncle Ma, what do you think of Master Ma?" Yang Er also wanted to hear Tong Huan's opinion of his brother, so he asked casually.

"Lord Ma is the righteous brother of the prince, originally I was not convinced, but I don't want Lord Ma to have the same talent as the lord, and he is more good at learning the skills of the Mo family, and the general is really admired. Lord, you look at my crossbow, the last general has just come to the general to shoot the test, within 30 steps can go straight to the throat of the enemy general, take his life as easy as probing the bag to get something, it is really a weapon to kill the enemy! There is also this horizontal knife ---" As soon as Tong Huan's chatterbox opened, he felt that he couldn't hold his mouth.
