Chapter 436: Echo

The construction of the new Western Army is not a simple task, even if the supply of soldiers in the later period is not considered, the work in the early stage can make the vast majority of people in the court dizzy.

However, none of these troubles are so important at this point. Because there are more important things.

Cutting the Northwest Army.

Compared with Emperor Jin, the cutting of the Northwest Army and the establishment of the Western Army are not two different things, as long as the Northwest Army can be split, then the Western Army is not a problem.

And the courtiers didn't think so.

A good subordinate must be good at figuring out his intentions. As a subordinate in the dictatorial era, this is the most important quality of all necessary qualities.

Emperors have always been the most mysterious, so their thoughts are the hardest to guess.

So the courtiers had to think a lot.

In their opinion, the new Western Army was not the most important, and the reduction of the Northwest Army was the fundamental purpose of Emperor Jin.

Because this involves the gratitude of the ministers of the past generations.

The reduction of the Northwest Army, under the fermentation of time and the speculation of some people who think they are smart, has become the beginning of the decline of the Xie Valve in some people's mouths.

Of course, the process will not be short.

In particular, Xie Valve's toughness in the early days of the imperial court's decision to cut the Northwest Army made many people feel tricky.

As the news spread, some people felt this more obviously.

The books everywhere are like snowflakes, almost submerging the imperial study.

Among these twists and turns, nearly thirty percent of them made it clear that the imperial court should not cut the Northwest Army. Twenty percent of people said that the imperial court should build a new Western Army, but perhaps it could consider changing the Western Army and the Northwest Army, rather than directly cutting the Northwest Army. And the others, most of them, say a lot of nonsense and don't directly agree or disagree.

This came as a surprise to many.

Especially Emperor Jin.

Because it was his intention to cut the Northwest Army, almost half of them expressed opposition.

While the Jin Emperor was infinitely angry, he was even more determined to cut the Northwest Army.

The king will not let his arm stand in his way. If there is an arm twisting the thigh, he must have the courage of a strong man to break his wrist.

One night, Emperor Jin looked up at the starry sky above the imperial city, overlooking the Jin capital, and opened his arms to embrace this piece of heaven and earth.

I am the emperor, and the whole world is mine.

The northwest, naturally, is also mine.

But many people have forgotten what the surname of the northwest should be.

Then let them remember it again, and always remember.

The turmoil in Jindu seems to have lasted for a long time for ordinary people, but for those who care about this matter, it has just begun.

The old lady's body is getting weaker and weaker, and the old lady eats fast and recites Buddha every day for ten years.

The old mansion of the Xie family in Yangzhou City was not snubbed or the threshold was broken because of the actions of the imperial court, but it was always quiet.

However, the artillery battalion was twice as tightly guarded as usual.

……

In mid-July, Xie received a secret letter that the Qin people had already believed that there was a treasure map and left the Great Jin Dynasty and headed west.

A large number of bees flew out of the hive, just to find the piece of parchment.

Yes, parchment, even Xie Shence Zhou Jinmian still doesn't know what is wrapped in the yellow cloth, but according to the speculation of the Tiqi professionals, it is likely that it is this chapter of parchment - the more time passes, the heavier the imprint of the smell, people may not be able to smell it, but animals can.

Now that most of the beehive spies on Xi Yuan have been transferred, then Tiqi's operation can be launched. However, contrary to what all insiders imagined, Xie Shence did not let Tiqi act according to the established strategy, and what he brought to Zhan Dashan was not the same as what he agreed with Zhou Jinmian.

At the end of July, a letter from the northwest added another fire to the already boiling court.

He Lou's department disturbed the pass, and dispatched 30,000 cavalry at one time, capturing thousands of people and countless cattle and sheep in Heishui County.

The invasion of the Xianbei people has changed the two different voices in the court. Officials from the Xie family are more able to hold their heads high, while some officials from the Criminal Department of the Ministry of Industry are somewhat silent.

In such a situation, Emperor Jin didn't say anything.

Soon, in mid-August, a letter secretly entered Beijing through the Jin merchant channel and was sent to the Jin Emperor's imperial study, making the Jin Emperor laugh.

The fourth prince of the royal court, Tuoba Xiyi, led 10,000 barbarian troops to defeat the 20,000 elite cavalry of the He Lou Department, and the He Lou Department was busy saving itself and had no time to look south.

This recital caused an uproar in the court, and some officials of the Criminal Department of the Ministry of Industry celebrated with their crowns, shouting for peace and kinship, and shouting for the eternal solidity of the northwest.

The officials of the Xie family were once again at a low ebb

Xie Sheng took a sip of the new rain before the dragon well this year, and said: "This will not have any effect in the first place, but now it is even more counterproductive." ”

Xie Yi said: "It's just because the He Lou Department is too weak. If it's the Ubun Department, it's very different. ”

Xie Shence smiled and didn't care.

"The Yuwen Ministry will naturally not interfere, they will only sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and then make a profit. Even if it's some scraps, it's better than nothing. Of course, they will not sit idly by and watch the Northwest weaken violently. Because the weakness of the Northwest is not good for them. The royal court will draw its hand against them. ”

"He Lou's department made a move, naturally I colluded in advance, in order to lure the Xianbei royal court to make a move."

Xie Yi asked, "That's all?" ”

"Of course it's more than that."

"Side-knocking does not make His Majesty compromise, and from what I know of His Majesty, he is not the one to compromise in the first place."

Xie Shence nodded and said, "I can believe that so far, he doesn't really want to make a move against the Xie family, it's just that because of the relationship between the Qin people, he has to build a new Western Army." He had already thought about cutting the Northwest Army, but the purpose was not to suppress the Xie family. Because after all, it is not a wise move to do it to the Xie family at this time. If he wants to recuperate, restore agriculture, revitalize commerce, and accumulate war capital, he will not dare to let the internal affairs of the Great Jin Dynasty fall into trouble. ”

"Or can you use this to make Your Majesty dare not act rashly?" Xie Yi was a little excited.

Xie Shence sighed and said, "Uncle, this is impossible to do this, Your Majesty will think that we are threatening him, but it will make his determination to suppress the Xie family even stronger." even turned the action against the Xie family from superficial to real. ”

"There should be no radical behavior."

"However," Xie Yi asked, "Isn't he afraid of internal division?" ”

"It's a matter of the bottom line." Xie Shence explained: "Your Majesty can cut the Northwest Army, he allows us to resist, even fierce resistance, and resist in various ways - I moved you, I allow you to resist, you see how merciful I am?" But you can't really fight to the death, because then you're going to hurt me. ”

"The Xie family can't afford to lose a fight to the death. Now is not the time. ”

Xie Yi wondered: "Why? ”

"Because our majesty is also a good-looking person!"

Xie Sheng lowered his head and smiled without saying a word.

This made Xie Yi even more confused. He is a handsome talent and a general, but he is really interested in some things in the court, and he is never willing to use his brain to think about it.

"Well, uncle, you can understand it as a neurosis."

"What is neurosis?"

"It's a disease. This type of person is similar to a pervert, but usually very calm and rational. ”

Xie Yi frowned, obviously he was not satisfied with Xie Shence's explanation.

Xie Shence saw Xie Yi's dissatisfaction, but he said it all, and besides, it would be taboo.

Emperor Jin's thinking is actually very simple, that is, I can beat you, you can howl, you can beg, you can even pee your pants, but you just can't call back.

Because you just don't give me face when you call back. I'm bullying you to give you face, don't be uninteresting. If you're really not interested, then I don't mind beating you to death.

And in the process, you even have to resist, because if you don't resist, then where does the pleasure of me beating you come from?

This is a typical representative of extreme conceit, extreme arrogance, and extreme pretense.

The average person does not have this qualification. But Emperor Jin definitely has, and is the most qualified among the few people in this world who can do so.

It's really a nervous disorder, thank you Shence thinking so in her heart.

However, not being able to resist to your heart's content is really humiliating

Time is limited, and it is not wrong to want to be strong as soon as possible, but now it seems that time is still not enough

At the Iron Gate in the northwest, a burly man sat under the eaves of his house, watching a little girl laughing, watching her fall continuously, but without crying or making a fuss, he got up silently and continued to chase the foal, which was already much taller than her.

A woman walked slowly, then handed him a letter.

After the man saw it, he said: "The second brother really expected things like a god, so he guessed that the royal court would make a move."

The man is Xie Shenwei, and the woman who has been there recently is naturally He Ruoque.

He Ruoque asked, "Then what are you going to do now?" ”

"Contact the Yuwen Department, my brother and sister have dredged up the relationship for so long, and they can finally come in handy."

"And who will you send?"

Xie Shenwei pointed to his chest and said, "Naturally, I'll go." ”

He Ruoque was shocked.

However, before she could shake her head, Xie Shenwei stopped her.

"Except for me, no one can convince the Ubunbu."

"But it's dangerous"

"I have to go."

"Nian Zu is still young, and the rafters are still young."

Xie Shenwei stood up, smiled, and said, "But it has to be done, doesn't it?" ”

"In the past, the second brother did everything, and he was always the one who used his brain, and I just stretched out my hand. But now, he's gone, so naturally I'm going to have to use my own brain. Now that I think about it, it's really not a simple thing to use my brain, I have to think about a lot of things, I have to take care of all parties, even a little change, and I have to push the previous design to start again, and I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, and now I guess I really experience it. ”

"The second brother has done enough, and he has done well enough. As his eldest brother, I naturally can't be too far behind. You have to understand me. ”

He Ruoque was silent for a long time, and then nodded.

"When?"

"It's almost now, it's been half a month. If it's late, maybe the effect won't be good. ”

"Then I, we'll wait for you to come back."

Xie Shenwei smiled, and then strode out.

On the field of the colonel at Tiemen Pass, the two thousand Mo knife army had just finished the exercise, and He Ruoque smeared an extremely heavy Mo knife with tung oil, and then wrapped it in a coarse cloth.

Xie Shenwei picked up the big black gun next to him, waved it twice, and asked, "I've been trying it for a month, how do you feel?" ”

"Very good."

"What's good?"

"Against the enemy."

Xie Shenwei shook his head and said, "You know that's not what I'm asking. ”

"The Mo Dao Array is really terrifying against the enemy."

"A lot of people have said that. According to your knowledge, what are the odds of winning against the six Xianbei Iron Cavalry? ”

"What bullshit is, of course, there is no chance of winning."

He Ruoque glanced at Xie Shenwei like a fool, and said, "There are 60,000 Wang Ting's iron horses!" How many knives do you have? And, who's going to hedge against you? If it's not necessary, they'll just shoot you all to death. ”

Xie Shenwei touched his nose a little boredly, and said in his heart that it was as difficult as ever to talk to a guy like you.

What's wrong with me? would actually ask such a stupid question Xie Shenwei shook his head and turned to leave.

"I'm going to go out in a while, you can take care of it here."

He Ruoque snorted, continued the movements in his hand, tied the coarse cloth tightly, and then carried the Mo knife on his shoulder, holding the big gun in his left hand, and also left the school field.

The two people left one after the other, but in different directions.

Xie Shenwei went to Shuaifu, and He Ruoque went home.

When the long-lost word "home" reappeared in his mind, he used to disdain it, thinking that the feeling that should be tearful was just the gratitude of the weak, but when he saw Xie Shenwei turn around and stride away, he seemed to have some new understanding.

He didn't move the gold, the employment money given by Xie Shence at the beginning, and buried it all in the manor outside the Jin capital of the Xie family, because he didn't believe in the Xie family.

However, Xie Shence believed in him very much, even very much.

Now his brother is going to the Ubun Department, and it is likely that he will never come back.

Seems to be for something called "home"?

He Ruoque had some difficulty understanding these emotions of the Han people. It is true that he wants revenge because the tribe has been exterminated badly, but now he thinks about it a little funny.

Those people are dead, and they have not left any mark on their hearts. I only remember the roaring fire, the corpses being picked up on sharp logs, the naked women, the babies who were turned into dirt by the horses, and the wails of the undead cows and sheep.

Some people have long forgotten about it. And the faces of his parents seem to be indistinct. After He Ruoque settled in Tiemen Pass, he also found a lot of painters, trying to paint the appearance of his parents according to his own memories, but the results were always unsatisfactory.

Maybe since I couldn't fully recall the appearance of my father and mother, in fact, the thought of revenge or something has faded.

My home doesn't exist anymore

He Ruoque shook his head, and then carried the big gun on his shoulder, and the horse followed behind him, snorting from time to time.

will actually feel a little sad for someone else's home

This sneer lingered in He Ruoque's mind for a long time, until he saw his sister and niece waiting at the door.

After greeting as usual, hugging Nian Zu and kissing him, He Ruoque said: "He is behind, it is estimated that he will have to wait for a long time." ”

He Ruoque was stunned.

Xie Nianzu said: "But we are not waiting for my father, my mother and I are waiting for you, uncle." ”

He Ruoque lowered his head, looked at Xie Nianzu's clear eyes, and suddenly felt that there was something soft in his heart that was touched.

So he handed over the Mo knife and the big gun to the general, picked up Xie Nianzu, hummed the song on the grassland, and walked home.

Wang Qingyan finished processing the bill for the last shipment, lay down on the chair with his eyes closed, rubbed his temples, and checked it again after a long time, then put it away, put it in a drawer, and locked it.

Just about to go out, Wang Qingyan paused, turned around and opened the drawer, copied the letter again, put the original away, and came to a courtyard.

"Yo rare guest, doesn't Miss Wang San never enter my courtyard? What's the matter, isn't it dirty today? ”

Xu Luwei's yin and yang weird voice came, Wang Qingyan snorted coldly, looked her up and down, and said, "I haven't seen you for a while, I didn't expect you to be a lot fatter again." ”

"You" Xu Luwei was stiffly answered.

She's a little fatter, but she's still skinny where she's supposed to be. This fatness, in the eyes of others, is only afraid to be classified as plump and mature and sexy, but in Wang Qingyan's mouth, it has become a woman's biggest enemy - obesity.

However, she is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she also looked at Wang Qingyan with strange eyes, and smiled softly: "I didn't expect to see each other for a while, Miss Wang San has lost a lot of weight, I am afraid that I can see my toes when I raise my head." ”

Wang Qingyan was stunned for a moment, and then became furious: "Xu Luwei! What do you mean! ”

Xu Luwei breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the angry Wang Qingyan, and said slowly, "What do you mean?" The racecourse really doesn't know how Feng Zhi fell in love with you. ”

Wang Qingyan was furious, pointed to a certain place on Xu Luwei's upper body, and said loudly: "It's beautiful with two big winter melons?" Shameless"

"However, man, I still care, it's just that you are so confident, did Feng Zhi say that he doesn't mind your racetrack? You shouldn't be serious."

Miss Wang San, who has always been invincible verbally, was defeated by Xu Luwei for the first time.

Xu Luwei was in a good mood, looking forward to spring.

"Shameless vixen"

"I'm a vixen, I'm proud."

The two women, one with an angry face, the other quietly satisfied, looked at each other for a long time.

In the end, Wang Qingyan was defeated.

"This is a bill, it is very important, send it to Jindu for me, and hand it over to him."

Xu Luwei has already said, "Since it is very important, aren't you afraid that I will mess up?" ”

"Don't you dare to go to Jindu?"

Xu Luwei's momentum weakened, and then he puffed up his chest and said, "Who wouldn't dare!" Go and go, whoever is afraid of whom"

Wang Qingyan said disdainfully: "Long-winded shows that you are already scared, and you are just using words to cheer yourself up." ”

Xu Luwei stopped talking. Because she was really scared.

Wang Qingyan turned around, and then said as if he didn't have anything: "Isn't it just to see a big woman, as for being afraid of being like this, big-chested and brainless."

Xu Luwei turned angry and wanted to attack, but then smiled.

"You're Jealous of Me"
