Chapter 231: The War Begins
Of course, the things recorded in the history books are not necessarily true, and the people living in this era know how exciting some of them are that have been brushed aside by historical materials.
The drought caused local riots in some places, but the impact was not very large, and it was quickly resolved by the imperial court.
Either adopt a policy of softness, or directly suppress it by force.
If the drought is mild, it may be mountainous. Because these places are also fed by snowmelt water from the mountains.
The rainwater supply areas are basically dry.
After more than two years of cultivation, the scale of the potatoes in Tangsha cannot be said to be small, and a total of seven harvests have been made.
Tangsha's potatoes have their own uses, so naturally they can't be taken out to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people.
A lot of things happened to Lianxin and Wushi in Beiqi, and later they left for Xirong.
By the time they went to Sijon, they had gone from master and apprentice to lovers. It all comes down to the time they had in Beiqi.
Tang Sha didn't know what happened, he only knew that this matter was related to Lu Chi.
After all, people live in the red dust.
and Qinglan, she actually got together with that Liu Qi from Nanshan.
Tang Sha was shocked when he first heard the news. But after thinking about it, I also think it is reasonable.
Xie Chuan and Que Ling are rarely in the bookstore. The bookstore is such a big industry, and it needs to operate, so it naturally depends on Qinglan.
And the purpose of Yuan Fangqing and Liu Qi's group of people coming to Nanshan was to protect them.
Qinglan and Liu Qi may naturally get closer. As long as they can get their own happiness, Tang Sha will also feel very happy.
Disasters will pass, and tomorrow will be better than today.
After Mo Chuanxiang got married, he went to Cheng's house, and Tang Sha and Chu Junwei lived in Mofu. After Chu Junwei left, he was Tang Sha alone.
It's July again, the sun is hot, the cicadas are chirping, and even the wind is blowing with heat.
Tang Sha sat under the tree and looked at his book, fanning himself while being afraid of mosquitoes.
Tang Sha seemed to think of something, and suddenly put down the book.
"Why do you suddenly want to spend some time in Fanghuayuan?" Tang Sha muttered to himself.
In the days when I first came here, in the palace. I don't know if Fanghuayuan is still there, or if it's not like that.
Tang Sha stood up, went back to his room against the dazzling sun, and packed up his things.
What do you think, go back to the imperial city and have a look, it will take two months to come and go.
Tang Sha thought of something to do, simply packed up his things, brought the silver, left a message for the people in the house, and rode directly on the horse.
It's been a really quiet year, and it's really cool to just go.
Tang Sha rode his pony and galloped towards the Imperial City.
……
After Tang Sha left that year, Qinglan began to set up her own teahouse. Slowly, the teahouse opened bigger and bigger, learning the business philosophy of Tangsha. It has formed its own unique brand, not only limited to tea houses.
And in this process, naturally encountered a lot of troubles. touched the interests of the nobles of the imperial court.
Qinglan is still a woman after all, so she is naturally afraid that those people are not good for her, and she has no room for resistance.
I don't want to trouble Que Ling and Xie Chuan.
So she went directly to the people of Nanshan. Nanshan has always been raised by Xiao Ming Bookstore.
Qinglan went to find them, and there was no pressure in her heart.
That Liu Qi didn't say a word, and directly sent a few people to live in Qinglan's courtyard.
Originally, Qinglan was also worried that there were not enough people, or that these people might not be strong enough to protect themselves.
But what she didn't expect was that these people's martial arts were actually very high, at least those who came to assassinate her all died in their hands.
In order to thank Liu Qi, Qinglan will personally send Liu Qi whatever delicious food she makes.
After a long time, Liu Qi simply lived in Qinglan's yard. Qinglan went out to be busy during the day and came back exhausted at night.
Liu Qi can actually massage. Qinglan was not embarrassed just now, but then she slowly got used to it.
Qinglan is much more mature and stable than her peers, and her personality is also gentle.
The woman, who originally looked soft and weak, added a shield to herself outside.
Liu Qi saw such a woman for the first time, after living for so many years, it was the first time he saw a woman like Qinglan.
It's obviously a small grass in the big world that can be destroyed. But this little grass dreams of becoming a tree that can withstand the wind and rain one day.
This woman lost those hypocritical family affections, and built her own country little by little.
Unlike those women on the rivers and lakes, she is not so tough and not so sharp. She mellows herself out. But under the mellowness, the heart is so gentle and so lonely.
Maybe what Liu Qi likes is Qinglan's loneliness and melancholy hidden under his smile, the same as himself.
The so-called long-term love, Qinglan has never experienced real love since she was born.
So when she fell in love with this delicate man, she was at a loss.
Qinglan owes Liu Qi his life, and under Liu Qi's thin body, he has unimaginable strength.
Liu Qiqin knows all about calligraphy and painting, and will tell a lot of stories like Tang Sha.
Liu Qi is very knowledgeable and can also heal.
Qinglan found that there seemed to be nothing in this world that Liu Qi would not do.
Liu Qi speaks very softly, can make her laugh when she is troubled, and will help her cook when she is tired. When she is helpless, he will help her solve the problems outside.
Liu Qi doesn't have those so-called male superiority and female inferiority in his heart, he is just following his heart to do things.
Girls have always worshiped heroes. Liu Qi is this hero in Qinglan's heart.
Heroes don't need to save the common people, they don't need to have a high status and look good, and their force value is very high.
The hero in people's minds is often the one who can stand up and protect themselves when they are in danger.
Wu Shi is the hero in Lianxin's heart.
Liu Qi is the hero in Qinglan's heart.
Ye Xuanyuan is the hero in Tang Sha's heart.
Cheng Lixue is the hero in Mo Chuanxiang's heart.
Every woman has a hero of her own in her heart.
Of course, every man has a treasure of his own in his heart, holding it in the palm of his hand and caring for it carefully.
Qinglan and Liu Qi did not get married, because Qinglan has not been free much, and Liu Qi also has his own affairs.
The two of them never asked each other more than what they had done in a day. They give each other the deepest trust.
Liu Qi has always felt that he owes Qinglan a wedding. It doesn't matter, life is so long, there will always be a chance.
He's going to start preparing a dowry for Qinglan......
On the tenth day of Tang Sha's departure from the city, the war ...... Imminent.
In a situation that no one expected, the war happened like this, and it came unexpectedly.
Li Yun's rebellion completely shook Chen Guo.
When Tang Sha received the news, he was still eating in the inn.
"It's fighting, it's fighting!" A man hurried in from the door of the inn, then ran to a table, facing the three people at the same table.
"What are you doing with such a panic? Your dad is dead? A young man at the same table joked.
"Your dad just died! I said there was a fight! General Lee phew! Li Yun rebelled! The young man who ran in panted.
Because they spoke so loudly that everyone in the inn could hear them.
The chopsticks that Tang Sha had originally stretched out to pick up the vegetables stopped suddenly, and then put them on the table with a snap. He got up and walked over to the young man who was talking, and asked, "Where did you hear the news?" ”
"It's all over the place! It was last night! ”
Tang Sha frowned, his heart pounding. She's on the road these days, so she hasn't received any news and hasn't paid attention.
After a year of silence, I thought things might get better, but I didn't expect it to be the calm before the storm.
This...... It is a storm in the sense of the word.
"What's going on now?" Tang Sha continued to ask.
The young man was still a little lucky: "Hey! It may be that the imperial court has been prepared for a long time, so it did not attack the imperial city all at once, so I can't figure out why Li Yun suddenly rebelled. ”
The young man at the same table didn't think the matter was serious, but smiled and said, "There's a good show to watch now." ”
"Yes, General Li actually rebelled, and the court will solve it."
"Definitely, which rebellion can succeed since the founding of the Chen State?"
"Then it's no problem, by the way, that girl in Xianglou is good, why don't we go play tonight?" A young man said lewdly.
"Don't you panic? General Lee has rebelled! The young man who delivered the message looked at his two friends strangely.
"What's the panic? What's the matter with us, we're in the South. And even if there is a rebellion, it will be in the north at most, and no matter how much you fight, you can't hit us. ”
The young man's indifferent attitude annoyed Tang Sha.
"Huh." Tang Sha sneered, she must go back to the city immediately, the imperial city may ...... Can't go for the time being.
Tang Sha was about to leave, but someone pressed his shoulder: "What did you just laugh at?" ”
Tang Sha didn't want to waste time here with them.
But those people pestered Tang Sha to prevent her from leaving, and blocked Tang Sha at the door.
"Fuck off." Tang Sha stood out two words expressionlessly, with some evil spirit.
The young men were frightened for a moment, took a step back, and then felt that they had lost face.
"Who do you think you are?! Do you know who my dad is?! The young man in gorgeous clothes raised his head and looked at Tang Sha with threatening eyes.
"I advise you...... Think about how you can survive the war. As soon as Tang Sha's words fell, he directly knocked the person in front of him to the ground, and then swaggered away quickly, riding back.
People like the one just now, once the war comes, it may be the group of people who cowered in the corner.
But even such a person is also a citizen of Chen Guo, and he is also one of the people that Ye Xuanyuan wants to protect.
Tang Sha was even more flustered than when he came, and he didn't stop along the way.
In the days that followed, the news spread across the country.
Tang Sha received the news that many northerners, especially those nobles, began to move south.
They all know very well that in the past few decades, the reason why there has been no man-made counter-success is because of the existence of Li Yun, a great general who dominated the world and looked down on the world.
Now that Li Yun is going to rebel, who can stop him?
Ye Xuanyuan in the south and Yilu Yan in the west had no time to support for a while.
But it seems that the situation is not as bad as they thought, and the court seems to have been prepared for this matter.
A large number of soldiers were recruited last year, and it came in handy at this time. Li Yun's subordinates were all those who accompanied Li Yun to fight the world back then, and of course they supported Li Yun's actions.
What's more, in their hearts, Li Yun was indeed excluded and bullied, and they couldn't continue to swallow their anger.
Everyone seemed to see something in the middle. It seems that the imperial court has long known that Li Yun is going to send this matter.
And those who know Li Yun know it...... Li Yun was deliberately giving the imperial court time and opportunity to prepare.
Li Yun's subordinates are like clouds, and I am afraid that this battle will not be easy to fight.
And most of the people who don't know the situation have a kind of heart to watch the excitement, feeling that this matter is so fresh, and there is another good show to watch.
In the future, you can brag about your next generation, or make war money or anything.
They seem to have forgotten that it is precisely because some people are fighting with blood on the sidelines, throwing their heads and spilling blood, that they have the time and mood to think about this.
But many of them only see themselves.
This is especially true of people in the countryside, who are still living the same life as before, at ease.
Seeing this, Tang Sha suddenly felt that the news of Li Yun's rebellion was fake, and there was no so-called war at all?
But the facts told Tang Sha that it happened.
This reminded Tang Sha of the Opium War in history. At that time, the British artillery fire hit the gate of the Qing Dynasty, but those ignorant people and Ben didn't know what was going on, and they all gathered around to watch the excitement, and they didn't care about themselves.
Is this called numbness? Numb...... Chen Guoren.
It's been a good life for too long, and that's it, people are starting to get lazy. I began to feel that I took it for granted that I was living such a peaceful life.
The so-called many difficulties to rejuvenate the country are not unreasonable. If Chen Guo can really get through this difficulty, he may achieve a better Chen Guo.
The original ten-day journey was shortened to six days by Tang Sha.
Tang Sha arrived in Diancheng for a while, and after Mo Chuanxiang learned the news, he came to Tang Sha.
Tang Sha is not very clear about the form of the north, and the war in the north has been repeated for so many days, and the situation is not optimistic.
"Chuanxiang, how is the north now?" Tang Sha asked hurriedly.
"It's not good, Li Yun's troops are 800,000, it's really unstoppable, and the north is now asking for help like the south and the west." Mo Chuanxiang informed Tang Sha of the news he got here.
"Asking for help? Did Ye Xuanyuan send troops? No, no, no, there shouldn't be, otherwise I should have met their army when I came back. Tang Sha breathed a sigh of relief.
As for why we should breathe a sigh of relief, the reason is simple.
The troops on Ye Xuanyuan's side must not be withdrawn. Because once it is withdrawn, then the military defense of the south will be extremely weak.
