Alone in a foreign land as a stranger, every festival is full of relatives.

Before I knew it, it was the ninth day of the ninth month of September, if it weren't for Qin Liangyu coming with chrysanthemum wine, Ye Xun wouldn't know what day it was.

Counting the days, it has been almost four months since I left the capital, and I don't feel how busy I usually do, until the festival, I can experience the pain of leaving home and missing my relatives.

Pregnant in October, next month should be the day of the birth of the jewel, but looking at the situation in front of her, Ye Xun can't leave it at all.

Although he knew that Baozhu would not blame him for this, Ye Xun still felt a deep sense of guilt in his heart.

Fei Yongsheng was recommended by Ye Xun to go to Chongqing as the prefect, and Qian Qianyi was appointed as the political envoy of Sichuan by Ye Xun because of his outstanding performance.

The order to transfer Hong Chengchou as the governor of Sichuan has been issued, and Hong Chengchou is already on the way, but he has not yet arrived.

Under the cold moonlight, only the Qin family sisters and brothers accompanied Ye Xun for the festival.

Barely suppressing his thoughts about his family, Ye Xun can also accompany the Qin family sisters and brothers to talk and laugh.

Qin Minping and Qin Bangping didn't have so many eyes, they just fought with Ye Xun with a glass of wine left and right, according to their words, there was no Beijing official who could make their brothers look so pleasing to the eye, especially if this person was still a eunuch.

Between the laughter and laughter, if Qin Liangyu hadn't stopped them, the two brothers would have to behead the chicken with Ye Xun to burn yellow paper and worship the son.

Qin Liangyu was old in the accident, but she could see that Ye Xun was forcing a smile, but she only thought that Ye Xun was worried about things in Shu, so she thought that Ye Xun, a fake eunuch, was thinking about his wife.

"Father-in-law, according to your order, all parts of Shuzhong are very concerned about the placement of seedlings, and the new army has also been expanded to twenty battalions, but the number of musketeers is still insufficient, can you please transfer some more from Liaodong?"

Qin Liangyu deliberately changed the conversation, so as not to keep the two brothers pestering Ye Xun to fight wine.

Ye Xun was very sober, listened to Qin Liangyu's words, shook his head, and said: "It's too far, I plan to build an arsenal in Chengdu in the next step, so that only some technicians can be transferred over, the arsenal is very important, and the eldest sister has to pay more attention!" ”

In private, Ye Xun has always called Qin Liangyu the eldest sister, and Qin Liangyu said it a few times to no avail.

Hearing that an arsenal was going to be built in Chengdu, Qin Liangyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and before he could speak, Ye Xun spoke again.

"Eldest sister, have you ever thought about why I would recruit so many troops in Shuzhong, and also build the arsenal here?"

Qin Liangyu pondered for a moment before he said tentatively: "Father-in-law, isn't the sword pointing at the Western Regions?" ”

"It's still the eldest sister who is smart, you can guess what I think at once, and I salute the eldest sister."

Ye Xun praised it, and then picked up the wine glass.

With the decline of the Ming Empire, since the Wanli period, a large area of land west of Jiayuguan has actually been abandoned by the imperial court, which gave the opportunity for Gushi Khan and his ilk to invade and occupy.

Previously, Ye Xun wrote a letter to Sun Chuanting, asking him to create the illusion that he was about to send troops to the Erlut Department, but in fact, it was to relieve the siege in the direction of Chengdu.

Although defeating Gushi Khan is not a problem, the subsequent occupation is also a problem, so Ye Xun means to use Shazhou and Hami as a base first, and then continue to expand westward.

It can be said that Ye Xun is playing a big game of chess, not only to restore the land of the Han and Tang dynasties, but also to continue to develop westward if the conditions permit.

Where the sun and the moon shine and the rivers go, they are all Han land.

This bold saying, which has been passed down through the ages, has always been regarded as a motto by Ye Xun, he did not have this ability in the past, since God gave him the opportunity, he will try his best to realize it.

Qin Liangyu also thinks a lot, but she is a woman after all, and it is naturally easy to protect her family and defend the country, but if she wants to expand her territory, she never even dares to think about it.

"The ambition of the father-in-law is admirable, but the officers and soldiers of Shu seem to be not suitable for large-scale cavalry combat, right?"

Ye Xun patted his head and said with a smile: "Blame me for not making it clear, in the future, Lieutenant General Shu will be the rear of the support for the western operation, and guard this place, so that the soldiers in front will have no worries, and the eldest sister will take care of my home for me."

"Eldest sister takes care of the house, our brothers can do it, Xiao Yezi, let me tell you, we can't leave our brothers behind in the war"

Before Ye Xun's words fell, Qin Minping answered with his tongue on the side.

Ye Xun smiled: "It's not easy to fight!" Do you dare to enter Tibet? ”

Listening to Ye Xun's words, Qin Liangyu couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly stopped the two brothers who had already drunk a little too much.

"My father-in-law still plans to send troops into Tibet?"

"Duogan Dusi, Wusi Zang Dusi, was formed in the Hongwu period, and now the Tubo people have gradually replaced the jurisdiction of the Dusi by their nobles by taking advantage of the weakness of our country, so it is natural to reintegrate it into the jurisdiction of the imperial court."

Qin Liangyu felt that his brain was a little insufficient, how ambitious this kid was! The Western Regions will be occupied, and Tibet will also send troops, can the imperial court afford such a huge plan?

"Since my father-in-law is going to send troops into Tibet, what will happen to the festival at the end of the month?"

"The Dharma is a Dharma meeting, and the Tibetan area is a ****, but this does not affect the stationing of officers and soldiers! Speaking of which, I would like to ask the eldest sister to recruit more soldiers who can adapt to altitude sickness in the next conscription, the treatment of these soldiers is twice that of soldiers in the plains, and the family will also enjoy five years of tax exemption and preferential treatment, and the soldiers will rotate every two years, and if they are willing to stay in the army after returning, they can be directly promoted to officers."

Hearing this, Qin Liangyu couldn't help but take a deep breath, she could assist in all these things that Ye Xun said, but is it really beneficial to the imperial court to do this? Will it be another waste of money and labor?

The strategic vision is not on one level, some words are useless, Ye Xun began to continue to persuade drinking, he plans to get drunk today, only in this way can he temporarily forget his thoughts about his family.

Qin Liangyu saw that Ye Xun had changed the topic, so he had no choice but to bury his stomach of doubts in his heart and talk about some other things.

The cool night breeze blows, and it is very comfortable on the face, and this night breeze seems to have a hangover function, Ye Xun is not drunk no matter how he drinks.

On the contrary, the brothers of the Qin family couldn't do it first, and they were directly poured on the table by Ye Xun.

Seeing this, Qin Liangyu shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, how can such a big person still look like a child?

Just as he was about to beckon his subordinates to take the two brothers away, his nose suddenly moved, and he frowned and said, "Does my father-in-law smell anything?" ”

Although the alcohol did not get Ye Xun drunk, it also dulled his senses.

After being reminded by Qin Liangyu, he sniffed hard, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he shouted: "Get out quickly!" ”

After that, the Qin family brothers, who were drunk and unconscious, flew out, and in a hurry, smashed the wooden window lattices to pieces.

Qin Liangyu also reacted, and followed Ye Xun to the outside, but her figure was not as fast as Ye Xun after all, and as soon as her body jumped into the air, she felt a shock under her feet, and then as if someone pushed her behind her back, she was directly lifted out.

Qin Liangyu only heard a loud noise, and then the whole person fainted...
