Chapter 109: Plan Ahead

In the room, Wei Chi Chi was looking at the money and grain accounts in the house by candlelight, which was handed over by Yang Lihua in the side room yesterday, but because she wanted to take her son, she didn't have much time to look at it.

Since her body is getting heavier and heavier, she thinks that she wants to give birth and nursery, so she is much more relaxed after handing over the money and food accounts to Yang Lihua, and she originally thought that she would simply hand it over like this, but after her mother told her several times that she should stick to the 'way of being a woman', she still had no choice but to grit her teeth and reconcile the accounts every month.

As a family wife, you must hold the financial power in your hands, so that the subordinates will be afraid and obedient, the husband is helpless to marry the young, but if he can give birth to a man, he has money and food, so the position will be stable, Wei Chi Chi heard his mother nagging in his ear every day, these words are really crying and laughing, but he can't help but listen.

It's only been more than a year since I accepted two concubines, and I don't know how many 'sisters' I have to add in the days to come, so I can't help but worry about Chi Chifan, now if she is not afraid of appearance, but people will always be old, so I have to talk to my mother that I generally have the virtue of a housewife to be able to 'husband and children'.

I was distracted and heard the maid outside saying "Lord Lang", she put the account and just got up, but saw that her husband had pushed the door in, the two hugged each other for a while, and after a while, Yuwenwen asked, "In the reconciliation?" The dim light should not hurt your eyes, it is better to look better during the day. ”

Wei Chi Chi smiled bitterly and said that Thorn Lang has time to see when he tosses all day, and he has to be free at this time to calm down and reconcile, and after the couple talked for a while, she asked worriedly: "Erlang, is the situation not good?" ”

The husband was going to come to Bazhou to serve as the assassin, and there were eyebrows at the beginning of the year, but he didn't expect that the war in Jingzhou was not over, and his father-in-law suddenly let him take office.

Hearing Mrs. ask this, Yu Wenwen did not show displeasure or fool the past. Wei Chi Chifan is his wife and the mistress of this family, so the big thing can't be hidden.

"The situation is okay in the short term, but in the long term it looks a little bad. My father was prepared for a rainy day, so he changed his mind and asked me to take office immediately. Yu Wenwen directly handed over the bottom. These are things that others may not say, but the wife must know.

According to the original plan, he should also lead the troops to sit in Anlu in case of accidents, and wait for his father to come back and then take up his post in Bazhou, but now the situation has been in a long-term confrontation, so there is no end to waiting like this.

"Sanniang, the territory controlled by Anzhou is small and can't afford to spend, if the imperial court contributes to Chen soldiers on the border, then our army will have to defend against it, and this already not thick family foundation will be unbearable for a long time."

He didn't care if his wife understood it or not, he just said it, and it was a little uncomfortable to hold this matter in his heart and not be able to talk to others in detail, Wei Chi Chifan just listened quietly without the slightest impatient expression.

Thanks to Yang Jian and Wei Chijiong's death, they now have occupied most of the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion and controlled the Liang State in their hands, but this has also led to two more burdens on the Anzhou side.

To the east of Jingzhou is Yuzhou. To the north is Luoyang, as long as there are heavy troops in these two directions, the Anzhou army can only defend the first line of Shangwan and Fangcheng and wait for the opportunity to fight a decisive battle.

This direction is not like the Tongguan Pass, if the enemy cavalry roars, then the Anzhou army with less cavalry can only be trapped in the main stronghold and cannot divide the troops to fight, which is actually nothing, but considering that Jingzhou is already its own territory, it is very problematic.

"Isn't the husband saying that he is afraid of affecting the harvest?" Yu Chi Chi Fan asked, Yu Wenwen nodded yes, if the imperial court sees the right time to send troops in the busy agricultural season, the main force approaches Fangcheng and Shangwan sends cavalry to harass on a large scale, then it will cause the farmers to be unable to sow or harvest.

The prefectures and counties of Jingzhou have a large population, and if there is no harvest, they can only transfer grain from other places to make ends meet. The consequences of this are not yet apparent, but if something happens, it will be too late to deal with it.

"It's better to defend than to attack, only to take Luoyang and then conquer Yuzhou is the solution. Now that Anzhou's strength is not good, the defense is more than enough, and Wei Chidun has lost his strength this time, Xingzhou has lost his spirit, and he can no longer attack Luoyang, so his father decided to defend Jingzhou and carry it to Shu Guogong again. ”

Shu State Duke Chi Hui is the prime minister of the 'Eastern Zhou Dynasty', and he is also the father of Wei Chishun and the grandfather of Blazing Fan.

"Some of the households in Jingzhou will move to Anzhou and Xiangzhou to reduce the pressure on food, and some villages will merge to build fortresses to prevent enemy attacks."

"In this way, a long-term confrontation cannot be avoided, and the imperial court can be defeated many times, but Anzhou cannot be defeated once, otherwise it will trigger a collapse." Yuwen Wen said expressionlessly, "The imperial court controls Luoyang and Yuzhou to separate us from the Duke of Shu, if Anzhou can't hold it, the other party can't save it." ”

Yang Jian's attack on the territory of Anzhou was not only in the northeast of Jingzhou, but also from the Xinzhou Governor's Office in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to send troops down the river to attack the Liang State, if Jingzhou could not withstand it and the Liang State was taken by the imperial court, the situation would be irretrievable.

If the situation is reversed, how much loyalty there are still among those state and county officials and generals who used to be respectful to Yu Wenliang's father and son, then it is doubtful, Yu Wenliang thought that he could only let his two sons grow up quickly, with a solid territory and a reliable army.

"So my father asked me to come to Bazhou immediately, first, to gain a firm foothold as soon as possible, train the troops, store food and prepare for war, and second, just in case." After Yu Wenwen finished speaking, he paused after speaking, he looked into his wife's eyes and said: "If the building is about to fall, my father asked me to take my family to Nandu to Chen Guo to leave the last trace of incense!" ”

Hearing her husband's last words, Wei Chi covered her mouth with her hands in shock and couldn't speak, she didn't expect that the situation might deteriorate to this point: Could it be that she came to Bazhou this time to prepare for Nandu?

"Sanniang, don't panic, this matter is just a precaution, and it is not known who will kill the deer." Yu Wenwen held her hand and said, "Chang'an, I'll take you back!" ”……

In another courtyard, Yang Lihua was sitting in the room reading the letter, this letter from Chang'an was handed to her today, and the letter was written by her mother Dugu Jialuo.

The letter was handed over to her by her husband Yu Wenwen herself, Yang Lihua actually didn't care if her husband had read the content in advance, but when she found that the envelope was intact and had not been opened, she was still a little moved.

She also used letters when communicating with her mother in the palace before, and the mother and daughter had an agreement to make a mark on the envelope, and by the mark, you can know whether the letter has been opened, and this time the letter was also marked by the mother, but it was intact, so it can be determined that Yuwenwen has not opened the package.

She read the content of the letter again and again for a day, her mother's familiar handwriting evoked her feelings of longing several times, almost unable to hold back and cry, knowing that her parents and younger siblings were all right in Chang'an, she finally put her mind at ease, and left Chang'an for more than a year, this is the first time she has contacted her family.

In the letter, her mother asked her and Xiao'eying how they were doing and how they were doing, perhaps because they were afraid that the content of the letter would be seen, so the words were very peaceful, and there was no content that scolded the thieves for their evil deeds.

But this is limited to the written content, and a few secret words in the text are menacing statements that they will find a way to save her and Xiao'e Ying from the fire pit and severely punish the thieves to make her mother and daughter angry.

"If my mother knew that I had given birth to a son for him, I don't know what she would think," Yang Lihua muttered to herself, and she sighed when she thought of this with her previous joy.

Hearing the maid outside the door say "Lord Lang", Yang Lihua just wanted to put the letter away but smiled again, Yu Wenwen walked in, saw her sitting on the couch with a letter paper, and asked him if this cheap son-in-law was scolded so bloody.

"Mother doesn't know that I'm a mother again." Yang Lihua smiled helplessly, she showed the letter to Yu Wenwen, but the other party gently put it on the case: "For your husband to believe in you, you can reply to the letter as much as you want, anyway, the two people in Chang'an must have been poking the little straw man who is her husband with a needle every day." ”

"Where would father and mother act like this" Yang Lihua couldn't cry or laugh when she heard this, her husband couldn't help but laugh when he spoke, Yu Wenwen took the beauty in his arms for a moment and asked: "My husband has been busy with official business these days and I don't have time to accompany you." ”

"Is it because of the situation?" Yang Lihua asked, she has been in the palace for many years, so she is very sensitive to some details, and she couldn't help but worry when she saw her husband hurriedly taking office and then anxiously handling the handover, checking accounts, and rectifying the state soldiers.

Her father Yang Jian also went out to be a assassin and a general manager, although he was still young at the time, he heard his mother talk a lot, so he probably knew that there was usually no need to be so eager when handing over, thinking of the current situation, Yang Lihua couldn't help but worry.

"It's better to plan ahead and prepare early, Lihua doesn't need to worry." Yu Wenwen didn't say much, Yang Lihua is now sandwiched between her husband and her father, as long as there is a hint of wind and grass, she will sigh for a few days, he doesn't want the other party to think too much.

After talking for a while, seeing Yang Lihua's sad face, Yu Wenwen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he kissed the other party's forehead and said: "You, Xiao Eying now treats Aunt Xiao as a mother, and she is pestered all day long, and she has time to accompany her more." ”

Yang Lihua said helplessly, she had just finished moving, and she was busy counting the accounts and taking care of Brother Que, so she didn't have to go crazy with Yu Wen'e, so she could only wait for this time to relieve herself and make up for it, thanks to Anu's help, or she would be really overwhelmed.

"Do you want to write the reply letter, don't be sad and can't write a word for a few days, Pei Guogong's people are still waiting in Anlu, and I don't have so much money and food for those two messengers all day long." Yu Wenwen said jokingly.

Just now, he wanted to stay at Mrs. Wei Chi Chifan's place overnight, and let the servants inform the two side rooms to report that they were safe, but he didn't expect to be 'driven out' by the other party, so he went to Xiao Jiuniang first, but Xiao'e Yinglai refused to get up on the couch and had no choice but to turn here.

"E-Ying is really ignorant, I'll call her!" Yang Lihua was a little embarrassed when she heard this, she got up and was about to go out, but was picked up by Yu Wenwen and walked towards the couch: "My husband has already made a white slip at your sister Xiao, come on, come on, tell me how my cheap mother-in-law curses people!"
