The following is the text of the novel (author: Huaxia Jiuzhou) provided for you, please enjoy!

However, the ecstasy in the hearts of Su Mo, Fan Jian, and Fang Youcong only lasted for a moment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because, after Ying Teng said that the emperor wanted to take a concubine, the three of them began to wonder in their hearts whether there could be such a blessing among their relatives, but this result shocked the three of them.

Su Mo only has two daughters, the eldest daughter Su Wan is the concubine of the first emperor, and the younger daughter Su You is married to Fan Changjian, the son of Fan Jian, and is already a mother. In addition, there are no relatives of the right age to be sent to the palace

So Su Mo was the first to turn from ecstasy to disappointment.

If a daughter can become the emperor's concubine in the mansion, it means that it is possible to inherit the emperor's throne in the future, although it is only possible, but this little bit may make a family bankrupt at all costs.

What's more, the emperor asked Lao Zongzheng Yingteng to come to ask for marriage in person, so he obviously loved this woman very much. How important is this point among the countless concubines in the harem? You must know that the current emperor is the eighteenth prince who no one thought would be able to ascend to the throne.

And the only reliance of the Eighteen Princes seems to be the favor of the First Emperor!

Anything is possible.

Although Su Mo had already filtered his Su Mansion in his heart, he still immediately put away the loss in his heart. Fortunately, there are still two other provinces, isn't it? As the old Qin family, Sanfu has always been the same spirit. If anyone from any mansion can enter the emperor's harem, then it will be a great opportunity for the old Qin family

However, soon Su Mo noticed something strange from Fan Jian and Fang You's faces.

The situation seems to be different from what I thought.

Isn't there any in-law of the right age in the other two provinces?

Su Mo really guessed correctly, the women of the appropriate age in the Fan Mansion and the Fang Mansion have all married into wives, and even the daughters born to the concubines have already married to the various old Qin families in Guanzhong for marriage. There are no in-laws of the right age and waiting to be in the boudoir.

So who does the emperor fancie?

Su Mo and the three of them suddenly couldn't understand the situation.

If it weren't for the woman in his three mansions, it seems that the emperor didn't need to consult himself and others about the matter of taking a concubine!

"Dare to ask Lord Zongzheng, the woman that His Majesty wants to include in the palace is one of the three mansions such as me?" Fan Jian couldn't help but ask.

"Yes!" Ying Teng nodded affirmatively.

"Dare to ask Lord Zongzheng, which of the three mansions is the woman in the three mansions who is so blessed?"

"Suyu!"

This time, Yingteng did not continue to sell Guanzi. Instead, he said the woman's name directly.

Su Mo, Fan Jian, and Fang Youcong were all shocked.

In the huge side hall, because these two words instantly became a dead silence.

……

Daqin Longxi County Zhidi Road.

From the beginning of May, in order to retaliate for the plundering of the Great Qin, the Qiang people went deep into Longxi County overnight to plunder and kill more than 10,000 people in the three counties of Longxi, Longxi, which was originally full of traveling merchants, became depressed.

Because it was not only the local people of Longxi who were killed and captured by the Qiang people. There were also hundreds of merchants who stayed overnight outside the city.

No one knows whether the Qiang people will come back, no one wants to die in the northwest wasteland inexplicably, and they don't want to be taken captive by the Qiang people into the barren northwest desert, so when the Longxi border army mobilized scouts everywhere. There is not much backlog of goods, and the merchants in Didao have basically returned home. Most of the people left behind were large merchants with large quantities of furs and other goods.

It's not that they don't want to go, but if so many goods are transported out of Di Dao, in case they encounter another big attack by the Qiang people. Then not only will his net worth be hit, but most of his family wealth will also be gone.

At least it's safe to stay in Gunji Didao. It's just a matter of paying more for accommodation and settling goods. However, compared with all the net worth, this loss is completely negligible.

However, since that night in early May, the Qiang people who entered the territory of Daqin seemed to have disappeared into the vast northwest desert after disappearing after the vast northwest desert and never reappeared because they were afraid of the scouts of the Longxi border army, who were roaming around with strict guard.

The panicked counties in the west of Longxi. Gradually begin to calm down.

The people can be calm, but the defenders of the three counties of Biansairu, such as the county of Didao, Caohan, and Lintao do not dare to relax at all. Ordinary people still don't know the emperor's disposition of what the Qiang people did in Longxi County this time, but the Longxi border army has already received an official letter from Xianyang to Longxi.

Longxi general Xin Sheng was directly removed from his post with sixty rods; The commander of the Longwei Mansion and the general of the Tiger Ben, Yingyi, was removed from his post and was whipped eighty. Tell all the Longxi border troops clearly. The wrath of the second emperor who was far away in Xianyang.

In fact, at this time, the Great Qin military had long been accustomed to foreign invasions of the border counties, all because the Huns often did this. In the past hundred years, in which year has tens of thousands of people in the border areas not been taken away or killed by the Xiongnu, Qiang, and Yueshi?

This is one of the reasons why the counties have always been sparsely populated.

Including the First Emperor, it is rare to punish the leading generals on duty so severely. Because if he really wanted to be convicted, the great general Meng Tian would have been beaten to death and degraded to an ordinary person.

However, the first emperor only drove the Xiongnu away, and now the second emperor is easily the Xiongnu who have been in the border area of Daqin for decades and almost completely wiped out. Under this anger, I wonder which leading general dares to take it lightly.

After more than a month, Su Jiao's 50,000 original army Jing Rui entered Longxi County. In another half month, the two commanders of Longwei Mansion gathered in Zhidi Dao, Longxi County, and brought the emperor's official edict.

Soon, the people of several counties in Longxi knew that the imperial court was about to march westward to punish the Qiang people for daring to slaughter the people of Daqin. At the same time, pensions for the casualties were also issued.

In the following month and a half, a large number of grain, grass, baggage and ordnance began to arrive in a steady stream from Xianyang to Zhidi Dao in Longxi County, and then gathered in Lintao and Caohan with Di Dao as the center.

With the arrival of 50,000 troops led by Meng Tian, the general of Jiuyuan Hou and Taibao, to Zhididao in Longxi County, and then moved to the most marginal county in the northwest of Longxi to govern Caohan, it indicates that the preparations for the westward advance of Great Qin have been completed.

On July 30 of the first year of the Great Qin II, after three months of preparation, the Great Qin Longxi Frontier Army and the Jiuyuan Frontier Army, at the same time, divided the troops from Jiuyuan and Longxi into four routes and began to march westward.

The First Route Army consisted of 50,000 Jiuyuan Army Jing Rui, 10,000 cavalry, 30,000 foot soldiers, and 10,000 baggage soldiers. Under the command of Meng Hao, the deputy general of the Jiuyuan Army, he set out from the Jiuyuan Fortress, crossed the Wuliang Suhai and began to sweep the area west of the Jiuyuan.

The Second Route Army and the Third Route Army were also composed of the Jiuyuan Army, with 10,000 cavalry, 30,000 foot soldiers, and 10,000 baggage soldiers. Led by Su Jiao and Shima, the deputy generals of the Jiuyuan Army, they set off from Caohan.

Su Jiao's army went to Huangshui and marched westward; The Shima army marched west along the Datong River along the Qilian Mountains.

The place where the Sujiao and Shima armies marched westward was where the famous Hexi Corridor of the Silk Road was located. (To be continued.) )
