Chapter 276: Assume a Posture of Readiness

Baihuaguan has all the grain and grass, winter firewood, winter clothes, and winter quilts, and it is okay to keep it for a winter without foreign aid.

As long as you don't fight, you can just spend the winter in the pass.

The main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army was still stationed in Yangcheng under the command of Qin Duan.

Yangcheng is a good place, as long as this city is still in the hands of Dongli, Chishui Pass will not dare to attack Baihuaguan single-handedly.

Because Yangcheng is on the side of Chishui Pass, just like a spear on the side of the waist, the slightest recklessness may be lost in Chishui Pass.

It hasn't been lost yet, but Beimo has already made a decision and put forward the news of peace talks.

And Sanchakou Town became a rear military town, and the grain and grass from Beiguan were continuously sent to Bingzhen, and then successively supplied to Yangcheng.

Because of his arrangement, the original small Sanchakou Town and County Cheng Yamen has also been tripled, and the area of the town is still extending in the direction of Beiguan, and a few more streets and shops can be built at that time.

At that time, the town of Sanchakou will be expanded by two to three times, and then connected to the new town in the direction of Baihuaguan, and the merchants inside and outside the gate will be more active, and the place will be more prosperous.

He extended the Beiguan outpost for three hundred miles, and then prospered the places outside the Beiguan that belonged to Dongli.

Instead of being as desolate and poor as before, let the people outside the customs no longer feel that they are just people outside the customs, and it is difficult to enter the customs.

This will not be settled until next year, so Yun Jingning did not tell Lin Yanniang.

The yamen measured the barren mountains and wasteland and prepared to distribute it to the hunters of the two villages, and then sell some to the nearby people, which will have to wait for a few years ago.

There is too little farmland at the foot of Sungai Ridge, so many people go into the mountains to make a living.

However, the water source of Sungai Ridge is sufficient, and if the mountain can be reclaimed well in the direction of the carp's mouth, it can still make more money.

The kang was not burned at night, but with Yun Jingning there, Lin Yanniang didn't feel cold.

It's just that when I got up early the next day and opened the door, the snowflakes were still falling silently outside, and the ground was already covered with a thin layer of white.

Because Lin Yanniang wanted to see the situation outside, Yun Jingning wrapped her in a quilt, hugged her horizontally, and walked to the door to look out.

The wind was light, but the cold chill came to his face, and he hurriedly carried her back to the kang.

"I'll go fetch water, turn around and burn the kang, don't come out yet, be obedient." He said a few more words before going to the Lin family.

The snow has just fallen, and the cold is a little colder but not yet frozen, but looking at this situation, this year's cold winter will come earlier.

In order to put pressure on the Northern Desert, in the past two days, the Northern Expeditionary Army began to pretend to fight again, but they didn't expect the snow to come suddenly.

Fortunately, the plan has put on a posture of waiting for battle, which can make the Northern Desert stop a little.

Thinking about these things in his heart, he quickly brought back hot water, helped his daughter-in-law put on a cotton robe, and went to carry firewood into the house to put the kang up.

It wasn't until the sky was bright that the dense snow flakes gradually slowed down.

No one was in a hurry to sweep away the snow that had sunk to their ankles, so that the children happily rolled in the snow, and in a few strokes they ruined the quiet world of pink jade.

Lin Yanniang listened to the noisy sounds outside, thinking about the hard work of walking and even running in the snowy mountains and forests in previous years, and she was very emotional.

At this time, she was held by the man's waist, and if she hadn't insisted on walking by herself, he would have carried her over.

"It also snows in the capital, but it's not so early, it's not so big, I've been in Beiguan for many years, and I'm used to seeing such scenery, but no matter how bitter the ordinary people in the capital are, it's not as bitter as in the Beiguan barracks."

"Fortunately, this year's war, the imperial court allocated a large amount of military salaries and military funds, we won the war again, and we controlled the initiative at the peace table, and this winter is better than in previous years."

He whispered in her ear about the hardships he had been through.

Lin Yanniang raised her face and smiled at him: "You have your suffering, we have ours, the days are different, and the bitter people are actually the same." ”

The weather is cold, the food is scarce, and the children in the army are supported by the imperial court, while their people can only make a living on their own in the same hardships.

But I am also glad that he is the one who leads the army, otherwise the wild boar ridge is closed, who cares how difficult the life of the hunters who rely on the mountains to make a living?

The Northern Expeditionary Army has the right to expropriate all the land, estate, and even servants that are beneficial to them, and as long as they decide, the people have no ability to oppose it at all.

Therefore, the Northern Expeditionary Army is not obliged to care about the Orions.

Because it's him, he's in charge.

Because he had lived in the village, befriended these hunters, and had been a hunter himself for a while, he would go to fight for more profits for the livelihood of the hunters.

"Well, you opened another door for me." The man looked at her with a gentle smile in his eyes, but his words were meaningful.

"Hmph." Lin Yanniang blushed when he stared at her.

Inexplicably, she felt that there was something in this, and she couldn't resist his strong gaze, so she turned her face away and snorted proudly.

"Huh." The man was amused by her reaction to run away but still with a proud face, and suddenly picked her up.

"Okay, you've walked in the snow, go down and be careful that the upper of your shoes gets wet and cool your feet, turn around and let them sweep the ground out, don't affect your walking."

The snow on the village road outside can be left uncleared, and the snow in the corner of the courtyard can also be kept, but the road must be cleared.

The heavy snow fell intermittently for two days before it stopped, and the sun came out, but the snow had no intention of melting, and only a refreshing chill was felt in front of the eyes.

As soon as the snow stopped, Yun Jingning rode away.

Although there was no news outside, after all, it was the first snow of the year, and he still had to go everywhere to see it before he could rest assured.

The first thing to go to is naturally Baihuaguan.

Yun Wuyun Liu, Yun Xiao Yun Ji are all in Baihua Pass, and Qin Lei has been guarding there.

Yun Jingyang led the court to negotiate with everyone still in Yangcheng.

Yangcheng is the main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army, which has always been led by Qin Duan.

From the outside, the fighting has long ceased and the outcome of the peace talks is near, but it is not over yet.

Beimo is willing to kiss the princess, with countless gold, silver, cattle and sheep, and wants to exchange it for Yangcheng.

It's just that the princess admires the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army, but in the Northern Expeditionary Army, from Yun Jingning to the Qin family brothers, they are all commanders, but no one is willing to claim the princess.

Dongli will not let out Yangcheng, because the value of Yangcheng lies in opening a gap in the northern desert, and it has become an important place to prevent Chishui Pass.

Not only will it not be returned to the Northern Desert, but it will also turn Yangcheng into a military city, and truly build an iron wall outside the Beiguan and in the Northern Desert.

However, of course the Northern Desert is unwilling, Dongli uses the place of the Northern Desert to build a military defense of the Northern Desert, how can this be called the Northern Desert?

These two issues have not been able to achieve results, so they have been unable to talk about it for a long time, and we have to beware of the deliberate delay of the Northern Desert, but in fact, they are secretly preparing for war.

Therefore, there was a plan for the Northern Expeditionary Army to suddenly take action and put on a posture of readiness.

The princess of the Northern Desert and her relatives were rejected, but it made the Northern Desert very embarrassed, the two sides were indeed a little stiff, the situation was elusive, and it was not impossible to fight again.
