At the same time that Jiang Rong went to Yongxing for activities, Ji Jinsheng rushed to Liuhu.

Liuhu Lake is a royal resort in the northwest of Chenling, with a pleasant climate in spring, autumn and winter. Liuhu Lake covers an area of more than 900 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the area of a prefecture-level city.

The local scenery is beautiful, the spring is beautiful, and the spring scenery is the best. As it is a royal resort, the local natural environment is very good, there is almost no agricultural reclamation, Xihuan comes here several times a year, and this year is no exception.

Thanks to the food culture promoted by Bailiyan, Xihuan has fully accepted the enjoyment of this kind of imported products from time and space. While enjoying the fish head stewed in the casserole and eating the skewers, while listening to Ji Jinsheng's report, Xihuan absentmindedly looked at the rippling water waves on the lake, not knowing whether he was happy or worried.

"Princess, it is true that the king is afraid of the use of troops in Xianguo, and His Royal Highness should make preparations in advance."

"What else can this palace do, if Brother Wang still has my sister, how can I not ask this palace how I feel first. What else does the palace need, just accept it. ”

"Your Highness must not give up on yourself, although the king does not know His Highness about the use of troops in the Xian Kingdom, His Highness still has the opportunity to show the necessity of His Highness's existence."

"What does General Ji mean, can this palace still stop Brother Wang from sending troops?"

"This is not, according to his subordinates' observation of Bailiyan for many years, the emptiness of Xianguo's military strength is well known, how can he not guard against it. Therefore, his subordinates are worried that the king may repeat the mistakes of the clouds, and if that is the case, His Highness's situation may be really dangerous.

Therefore, the subordinates thought that it was best for the princess to repair a letter to persuade the king not to use soldiers, and it was best to let the news flow out in a tactful way, so that outsiders would know, so that the princess could explain to the king of Xian in Xianguo.

And it also gave the king room to return, in case the situation was not good, the king withdrew his troops as a decent retreat. ”

"Then let's do what General Ji wants, it's better for this palace to keep to itself now."

"What His Highness said is very true, but anyone who achieves great things can bend and stretch, whether it is a man or a woman. The princess is forbearant now, and she will be able to achieve great things in the future, which will impress the king. ”

General Ji's words are very much in line with the heart of the palace, thinking how pitiful the original Baili Yan costume was, and he actually deceived the palace for more than 20 years. He can endure it, why can't this palace? ”

Xihuan is strong and tenacious by nature, has the ambition of a man, and at the same time has the ruthlessness of a poisonous woman, it is not difficult to achieve great things, but it is a pity that when he meets Bailiyan, Xihuan's characteristics are useless, otherwise she will also be a female character who can leave a strong mark in history.

On the tenth day of October, Jiang Rong rushed back to Guangxin all the way, and Jiang Qianwent out to greet him at the south gate:

"Sister Rong, you're here, my father and mother miss you."

"Mother is good."

"Okay, I'm happy to learn that Sister Rong is back."

"What did my father say about my letter?"

"I'll talk about this when I get home, let's go."

Jiang Qian turned over and dismounted, jumped into Jiang Rong's car, and drove the carriage instead of the groom, and said while driving the car:

"Sister Rong, this four-wheeled vehicle doesn't seem to be the same as before, why don't you feel bumpy at all."

"Oh, it's a newly-built four-wheeled chariot in Yongxing City Car Workshop, it is said that it is equipped with some mechanism that can back off the bumps, I don't know what it is, anyway, it works, thanks to the new car along the way, otherwise the bones will have to be shaken apart."

"yes, this car must be quite expensive."

"It's okay, but at the moment, only a few such as King Xian, the Prince's Mansion, and the Yongxing Marquis Mansion can match this car, and the others will not use it for the time being."

The two walked along the road, and soon entered the city and arrived at the Guangxin Mansion.

After fifteen years of baptism of war, the prosperity of Guangxin is gone, especially after Qin Han withdrew from Guangxin, the local industry of Guangxin has been hit very hard, if there is no huge annual trade of Guangxin Port, Guangxin's finances have long been overwhelmed.

When entering the house, Jiang Min and Mrs. He of the main room, and Mrs. Su of Jiang Qian were waiting in the front yard with their son Jiang Ju.

Jiang Qian's wife, Su Yi, was fifteen years younger than Jiang Qian, and gave birth to a son, Jiang Ju, and the Jiang Mansion rejoiced, and the joy has not disappeared yet, Jiang Qian still plans to raise another child, so as not to repeat the mistake of infertility with an only child.

Seeing her parents, mothers and elders, Jiang Rong gave a gift to her children:

"Rong'er has seen her father and mother."

"Huh...... Rong'er is exempt. Jiang Min stepped forward to help Jiang Rong up, his eyes full of fatherly tears: "Let you suffer." ”

"Father's words are serious, the swallow treats Rong'er very well, but he is not at home when he goes out all the year round, and the swallow is in the wind and rain outside."

"Men, he aims to be his home in the Quartet, and with such a good son-in-law, it is in vain for his father to marry Rong'er to him. Come, come and see your mother. ”

Jiang Min gave up half of his body and gave way to He, Jiang Rong stepped forward quickly and cried with joy:

"Mother."

"Huh...... Look at you, now as a mother, you're still crying. ”

"Rong'er misses you......"

"It's good to be a mother, but I can't see you often, and I feel panicked. When I came back this time, why didn't I see my two granddaughters? ”

Jiang Rong wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said slowly:

"Rong'er came back this time because she had important matters to discuss with her father and brother, so she didn't bring Fang'er and Xiang'er."

"Oh, it's hard to be a mother for you."

While the mother and daughter were talking, Jiang Qian led Su Yi's mother and son to him:

"Sister Rong, look, you have a nephew."

"Ah, Ju'er is so cute. Sister-in-law, don't mind if I hug you. ”

Jiang Rong reached out to stroke Jiang Ju's bare little head, but Su Yi did not refuse:

"The county lord is Ju'er's aunt, how can Su Yi mind."

Transferring the child to Jiang Rong, Su Yi still looked at her son very carefully, for fear of a mistake. After teasing the child for a moment, Jiang Rong said:

"My sister-in-law has a son for the first child, which is really a blessing. And my husband gave birth to nine daughters in a row, and they all said that a woman would give birth to a daughter only if her life was bad, but I think that if a man's life is not good, a woman will give birth to a daughter. ”

"The county lord is ...... heavy"

"Hehaha...... The child is returned to the sister-in-law, and when the torch is older, he often comes to the Hou Mansion to play, and it is good for the boy to see the world more. ”

"Thank you, Lord Shire."

"Eh, what county lord is not the county lord, speaking of which, Sister Su is still a sister-in-law, and the county lord is called a lot."

Jiang Rong seems to have returned to the past, she is very eclectic, and there is always a man's pride and responsibility in her conversation.

After a cold snowfall, Jiang Rong followed her father and brother to the backyard, and Luo Songting, Chen Yunfeng, and Yue Pan were already waiting in the study. Luo Songting's illness has improved greatly after taking Bailiyan's medicine, but he still needs to insist on taking medicine to recuperate.

"Rong'er, sit down." Jiang Min motioned for Jiang Rong to sit down, dismissed the idle people and others, and continued: "Rong'er, your letter has been discussed with you for your father, but I don't know if this matter of borrowing troops was mentioned by King Xian, or what you mean by Rong'er?" ”

"It's the meaning of King Xian, King Xian ordered Da Sima to make Lu Gao come to his daughter to borrow troops."

Jiang Rong said truthfully, and Jiang Min asked again:

"And what do you think?"

"My daughter has gone to see Yuke, the news is from Yuke, and the Jin State is not a lie about the transfer of troops to fight. As for Guangxin's dispatch of troops, the daughter didn't want to embarrass her father, but when the country was in trouble, if she was only in a corner of peace for the sake of self-preservation, she didn't know how the court would look at her daughter in the future, but King Xian would definitely hold a grudge. ”

"Then you mean to send troops?"

"When I came, my daughter also saw that tens of thousands of Jin troops were outside the city, and if Guangxin borrowed troops, the Jin army would be annoyed and Xu Huixing troops would come to retaliate. But if you don't borrow troops, it will be a matter of time before the Jin army breaks through Jiangdong, and a corner of Guangxin will not last long. ”

"Well, what Rong'er said makes sense." Jiang Min affirmed, and then said: "But have you ever thought that Guangxin will become an empty land after borrowing troops, and the Jin army of forty or fifty thousand people will be sloppy, if the Jin army makes a move in Jiangdong, it will attack my Guangxin with a backhand." Besides, it is said that King Xian proposed to borrow soldiers, and he did not even give half of the benefits, so insincere, how could his father believe it. ”

"And what does Father mean?" Jiang Rong asked.

"It's not impossible to send troops, but the defense of the territory under the jurisdiction of Guangxin is weak, and there must be competent guys in hand to deal with the Jin army."

"Father is asking for gunpowder and cannons!"

"Sort of, but the cannon Xianwang will definitely not give it, the grenade is very good to defend the city, and it will be okay to give some."

"My daughter can't be the master of this matter, so I have to ask King Xian what he means."

Jiang Rong was very embarrassed, Bailiyan nominally governed the entire Yongxing City, but the dispatch of arms was very strict, without the order of the imperial court and Bailiyan, the Hou Mansion had no right to take the arms black, even if she was the lady of the main room, she had no privileges.

At this time, the atmosphere was a little silent, and Jiang Qian took over at the right time and said:

"Sister Rong, who is also in the Jiang family, has an unshirkable responsibility to defend the country against the enemy. However, Guangxin is now much worse than before, at this time to transfer tens of thousands of horses, will be taken advantage of by the Jin army, King Xian can not be for its momentary move, and ignore the danger of my Guangxin. ”

"I understand what my brother and father say, but my daughter really can't be the master of this matter."

"For my father, I didn't let Rong'er call the shots." Jiang Min said: "But Jiang Hai should always be sincere, otherwise if the Jin army besieges Guangxin, what will Jiang Hai do if he besieges Guangxin, and who will save Guangxin at that time." ”

"The father's intention is to ask his daughter to convey this intention to the King of Xian."

Jiang Rong asked, and then Luo Songting said on the side:

"Since Lu Gao is looking for the county lord, it is more appropriate for Lu Gao to come forward at this time. Lu Gao is the old department of Baili Yan, and he will know how to deal with it, and if the county lord comes forward, this matter will make King Xian resentful. ”

"Lu Gao is from a salt lord, a close confidant of King Xian, how can he protect Guangxin." Jiang Rong said worriedly, Luo Songting was confident:

"Don't worry, the county lord knows Lu Gao very well, and he is not a person who doesn't know the severity. Moreover, Guangxin has a close relationship with Bailiyan, and if it hurts Guangxin, it also hurts Bailiyan, and Lu Gao will not do this unrighteous thing. Taking a step back, Lu Gao is familiar with logistics and military affairs, and he can guess a few points about the situation in Guangxin, but there is actually no threat to Chenling. With the current situation, he will come forward for Guangxin. ”

"Since Mr. Luo is so sure, then I will go back and talk to Lu Gao. In addition, there is another matter, please ask my father and Mr. Luo to decide, if it can be done, it can be used to resolve this disaster of swords. ”

When Jiang Min heard the news, he looked at Jiang Gan, Luo Songting and the others, their eyes exchanged for a short time, and then asked:

"Rong'er say it quickly, what can you do to retreat from the Jin army."

Jiang Rong explained in detail what Zong Botai said, and Jiang Min shook his head again and again:

"This is the land of the three counties, even if it is given to the father, the father will not dare to openly mention such disobedience."

"Yes, Sister Rong, there are only two counties in that Qi Country that can establish a country, not to mention the three major counties of Sun Kingdom. Even if King Xian gave up the three counties, my father and son would definitely not agree, let alone ask my father and son to propose to give up the three counties, wouldn't this trap my father be unjust. Xianguo has finally become a powerful country and created today's situation, where is the reason for the fat to be handed over. ”

The father and son strongly objected, and Jiang Rong was embarrassed and said:

"I also know that the stakes are high, but this is the only way to calm the war. Now surrounded by strong neighbors, even if the swallow has three heads and six arms, it is difficult to deal with it. What's more, Zhiguo and Wei Guo are eyeing each other and suppressing the Jin State, so they may not be able to avoid the Wei and Zhi countries sending troops to crusade, and then the Jin State and the eldest grandson will provoke again, and the Xian State will do nothing about it. ”

"What the county lord said is not unreasonable." Luo Songting interjected: "This method can indeed draw the war, and the results are immediate, and the benefits to my Guangxin far outweigh the disadvantages." ”

Jiang Min was surprised when he heard the news, and hurriedly asked:

"Why did Songting say this!"

"Lord, Bailiyan has the method of retreating, but he doesn't care about it. Weiguo is the overlord of the West Sea, rarely involved in the Central Plains war for hundreds of years, it can be said that the national strength is strong, even if it has been affected by the war in the south for several years, but the country is still several times stronger than the Central Plains countries, even if it is the Jin State, it will never dare to wrestle with it for a long time, Bailiyan is worried that the eastward invasion of Weiguo at this time is not groundless. If you can stabilize the defense of the country and retreat from the Jin army, the threat of Zhiguo will be gone.

On the contrary, even if the Jin army retreats and the country comes to attack again, all the efforts made before will be wasted. ”

"Even so, what's the benefit of Guangxin with me." Jiang Min asked.

"The benefit is not in the present, but in the long run. King Xian is currently riding a tiger, wanting to annex the land and not wanting to provoke the princes, but there are very few things to get the best of both worlds. But if King Xian retreats to the second, he can't give up this face and self-esteem. If the lord can give up face and self-esteem for Jiang Hai at this time, King Xian will definitely remember the lord's kindness and treat Guangxin leniently. ”

"Cutting the soil makes people turn their backs on their ancestors, can it be done?" Jiang Qian questioned.

"Young master, this time and that time. Now Bailiyan has opened up seven or eight counties and opened the Xian country for hundreds of years, if it can't consolidate the land that has been in hand, it is the greatest disrespect to the ancestors and ancestors.

Moreover, the defense of the country is barbaric and greedy, and it will definitely invade the east in the future, and when the vitality of the Xianguo country recovers, it is not impossible to send troops to attack and defend again, and claim back the land that has been transferred. If you are worried about the gains and losses in front of you, and you may lose more than you gain, please ask the lord and the young master to learn clearly. ”

"It's a big matter, I have to think about it in the long run, let's stop here today, let's disperse, Qian'er stay."

The cession of land was a matter of honor, and Jiang Min could not make up his mind, so he dismissed everyone, leaving only Jiang Qian to continue to discuss.

After Jiang Rong and the others retreated, Jiang Min continued:

"Qian'er, what do you think about this matter?"

"To let or not to let is his Jiang Hai's land, I have nothing to do with Guangxin, now I want to let my father come out of this way, for him Jiang Qian's back to infamy, how can there be such a cheap thing."

"Yes, the land was laid by your brother-in-law, and it is not the land I believe in, so it doesn't matter. But if the land is not ceded, the situation may deteriorate to the point of no control. At present, Guangxin's money and food are beyond his means, if it weren't for your Rong'er secretly helping, I'm afraid it would have collapsed long ago. As a father, now he is only worried that Jiang Hai will go back on his word, which will be bad. ”

"Then why don't you take the opportunity to ask Jiang Hai for some benefits, it's better than nothing."

"No, Jiang Hai has a grudge against him, and he takes advantage of his danger to blackmail him, and he will definitely get it back even more vigorously afterwards. The Father will be allowed to think about this matter for two more days. Let's go, go and wash the dust for your sister, only talk about friendship on the table, don't mention political affairs. ”

"The child knows."

Later, Jiang Min set up a family banquet for Jiang Rong to wash the dust, and did not mention the matter of soldiers on the table. I want to chat about "Empire Travel" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
