Refusing to return with relatives (12)

The captain said respectfully,

"The minister will do his best."

Emperor Qi stepped down from the dragon chair,

"Today's next three points, the Huns account for three, the rest of the land, Xiqing and the Great Zhou each account for half, my Xiqing capital is constrained by the Great Zhou, but the Great Zhou soldiers will be elusive in the end, I don't know the truth or falsehood, and I don't know the number. I do intend to make peace with Da Zhou, but at the moment, it seems that it is not the best time. ”

"Xiqing does not have many advantages, and it is the party that takes the initiative to seek peace, so it will be difficult to win the most benefits in the process of seeking peace." ，

Taiwei Dao,

"According to His Majesty's intentions, it is to occupy an advantage, just like the Great Zhou restricts Xiqing, and Xiqing also restricts Dazhou?"

"I saw that on the side of Yinzhou, there is a Jizhou, which is vast and sparsely populated, but it has been affected by famine and plague, and it can be regarded as the weakness of the Great Zhou."

The Captain's gaze,

"But Jizhou is too far away from Xiqing, it takes at least seven days to march, and it has to pass through a small number of Xiongnu borders, if you go with 80,000 troops, it may be difficult to reach easily."

Qidi Dao,

"The most lacking thing in my Xiqing is money and food, and the most lacking thing for the Huns is money and food, as long as the Huns are given enough money and food, it is not difficult to cross the Huns."

Emperor Qi walked in the palace,

"And the troops sent to Jizhou are far from all the 80,000, the focus is still on defending Yinzhou, only stirring up trouble in Jizhou, disturbing people's hearts, diverting the main forces and attention of the Great Zhou, and giving Yinzhou time to relax."

"When it comes to negotiations, Xiqing's situation in Yinzhou will not be so bad, and he will be able to occupy as much Yinzhou land as possible, and he will have the support of forces in Jizhou, so that the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be soldiers, and when negotiating, even if Xiqing is the party that takes the initiative to seek peace, he will never fall behind."

Taiwei Dao,

"What Your Majesty said is that the minister has something unclear."

Qidi Dao,

"Say."

The captain said respectfully,

"Since the soldiers are divided into two routes, will the minister lead the troops to Yinzhou or Jizhou?"

Emperor Qi put his hands behind his back,

"Naturally, I went to Yinzhou and tried to delay their time, and Jizhou was just a matter of startling snakes."

"Commandment."

Ten days later.

Yinzhou, Yao Yuandao,

"Xiqing now, since it is very likely that we are going to delay time, then we have to go to Jizhou to support earlier and beat all Xiqing out of Jizhou. Then concentrating on attacking Yinzhou should be the most reasonable approach. ”

Gong Yun nodded, and the generals sitting next to him all agreed.

Gong Yun stood up and heard the drums outside.

The hussar general stood up sharply and exclaimed,

"It's a pre-war drum!"

"What's going on? Isn't there no one in Xiqing anymore? ”

"In the past seven days, it has been obvious that the Xiqing reinforcements have been annihilated, is it possible that there are still any variables?"

Most rushed out without saying a word, the big war was ahead, and there was no time for them to whine.

"General, there are Xiqing Dao soldiers who started digging holes from a mile away from the city wall, digging all the way to the inside of the city wall, and now they have infiltrated the city!"

"Find! Send everyone out to find it at once! ”

"The grain and grass department is guarded, and one person must be left in each camp tent, and the clothes, armor and military tokens must be taken care of!"

"Yes!"

The sand and dust were flying, and everyone went to the position where they should go, and the patrolling soldiers were in bursts, but they couldn't easily find the hiding place of the Xiqing soldiers.

YAO Yuandao,

"What should I do, in this situation now, we have no way to attack again, in case they sneak into our team or attack at night, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight back all at once

Should come. ”

Gong Yun crossed his hands on his waist, his rough hands were on his waist, he was wearing a cloth towel with his sleeves and a little gray and yellow, and several new wounds on his face were congealed, and blood stains were still hanging on his face.

I'm afraid that this is a careful plan by some people, and they want to report it back.

Xiqing Capital was lurked by the Great Zhou, and he couldn't sleep at night, and now Yinzhou is also lurking, and he has to walk on thin ice all the time.

Even if you form an alliance and know that you want to exchange profits for profits, you may not be able to watch your own interests being deprived. Obviously, he is a person who will be revenged, and he does not know whether it is good or bad to form an alliance with such an opponent.

The Five Princes of Xiqing, what do you want to do when you are doing this?

In the tent,

"Lord Taiwei, the Fifth Highness has come down to letter."

Taiwei took it, Yu Chen's words fell into his eyes, and Taiwei muttered,

"I don't know if His Royal Highness the Fifth has ever told His Majesty about this plan."

If it is said, the success of the matter is the credit of the Five Highnesses.

If he hadn't said it, if the matter was successful, all the credit would have been credited to His Majesty.

This is undoubtedly the solicitation and goodwill of the Five Highnesses.

In the way of the other, give back to the other.

These eight words are just the letter sent by His Royal Highness Fifth to send people all the way from Xiqing Capital last time.

At that time, he was losing and retreating, for fear that he would not be able to delay the time, so he would strive for enough time and keep the maximum amount of Dao land.

The eight words of the Fifth Highness made him think of putting his own Taoist in the city that had been recovered by the Great Zhou for a moment.

So on the night he received the letter, he sent men to dig a hole from a mile outside the city wall, but it was almost done in one day.

This time, His Royal Highness of the Fifth Highness is undoubtedly a charcoal in the snow, solving his urgent needs, and his strategy is also outstanding. No wonder His Majesty has been holding such a high value to His Royal Highness the Fifth Recently.

The lieutenant took the letter, and the letter told him that he could stay still and continue to guard.

The team that is about to make peace with Xiqing will set off.

Taiwei clenched the letter, and His Royal Highness ...... Indeed, it is a material that can be made.

In Chang'an.

Yang Sheng turned the wrench on his thumb and turned his back,

"Is it done?"

Shaofu bowed his head respectfully and replied,

"If you go back to Your Highness, Your Majesty has already allocated a part of the special tax in the palace, and if Your Highness wants to use it, you can use it at any time."

Yang Sheng chuckled,

"Do you know what is missing in the thirteen cities of Mobei?"

Shaofu Road,

"It's a woman."

Yang Sheng smiled,

"Before, my father handed over the Thirteen Cities of Mobei to the palace, and he wanted to slap the palace in the face in front of the hundred officials, but now, he has helped the palace a lot."

Shaofu said respectfully,

"What does Your Highness mean?"

YANG Shengdao,

"With this money, I bought enough to ransom enough women in Chang'an and Qingzhou to come back. Go to the thirteen cities in Mobei and tell them that as long as one person in the family is willing to participate in the conscription, the people in the family, whether old or young, can marry a daughter-in-law. And those who are conscripted will return home after three years, and they will be able to marry a daughter-in-law. ”

Surprise on the face of Shaofu,

"Your Highness, good strategy! Although it is possible to die in the military camp, but the most important thing in the thirteen cities of Mobei is strong men, and there are often seven or eight brothers in a family, and going to one is nothing at all. Where there is an extreme shortage of women, there is even a phenomenon of co-wifery, and it is really difficult to resist the temptation that only one person can participate in the conscription to make the whole family marry a wife. ”

"Your Highness's move is really very wise!"

Shaofu flattered without any pretenses. Yang Sheng showed a faint smile.

Since the last time he planned to besiege the palace and usurp the throne, when there was a problem in the middle, he already felt that it was unreliable to rely on Lang Zhongling and the Imperial Forest Army.

Shaofu's flattery was just right, and Yang Sheng's heart was happy.

In the blink of an eye, the winter solstice has arrived, the border is snowing, but it is not cold, in Chang'an City, some people are singing, some people are laughing, some people are full of feasts, and some people are freezing to death on the side of the road.

Although there are many variables encountered in Chang'an City during this time, it has finally been peaceful for a while, and the displaced people have been helped by Guan Wuwang and Gong Chu from time to time, even if they are not full of food and clothing, they will not be starving and full of corpses on the streets. It is already the greatest that Gong Chuguan can do.

Gong Changjue also put away his expensive clothes and jewelry, and his daily meals are no longer extravagant, from the days when he would spend a lot of money to pack a teahouse and buy hairpins and diaphragms to meet Zhu Yu, it seems to be a world of difference, and it seems that a long time has passed, but in fact, only half a year has passed.

Chang'an seems to have always been fond of celebrating, no matter what time of year, it can paint the most vivid lanterns and brew the most fragrant wine.

Although there are not many people on the street, it can be regarded as the busiest time of the day.

Gong Changjue picked up a lantern, held it up to Chu Ranxing, and said with a smile,

"Is it pretty?"

Chu Ranxin nodded, looked at her smiling beside the lantern, and nodded seriously,

"Well, it's good."

Half of Gong Changjue's face was slightly drunk by the peony lantern, with a faint yellow sunset-like halo.

It seems real, and it doesn't seem real.

In his eyes, she seemed to disappear in the next second, leaving only a lantern and the wind blowing all over the street.

Gong Changjue looked at the small piece of paper under the lantern,

"Well, what is it?"

Gong Changjue picked up the small piece of paper with his other hand,

"Spend a good moon and reunite."

She muttered,

"What a vulgar and happy sentence."

She looked up at Chu Ranyu and said with a smile,

"Right?"

But seeing Chu Ranxuan staring at her, the emotions in her eyes, she had never seen before, so heavy that she could drip water, brewing grief and heartache, and did not shed tears, but it seemed that she was going to cry in the next moment, and the light of the lantern was reflected in her pupils, illuminating his sadness and heartache.

Gong Changjue wondered,

"Shizi?"

Chu Ranxuan opened his lips and responded,

"Have you decided you want to buy this one?"

The emotion in his eyes dissipated in an instant, and he disappeared like wind and smoke.

Gong Changjue frowned slightly, did she see it wrong?

It's just that she hasn't rested well these days, so she is wrong.

Chu Ranxing paid the bill, and the eyes of the little girl selling lanterns were glued to Chu Ranxing.

Palace Chief Jue couldn't help laughing, pulled the corner of Chu Ranyu's clothes, and whispered to him to leave.

Chu Ranxuan carried the lamp and followed behind the palace chief, seeing that she was a little bouncing, for some reason, the uneasiness in her heart was a little heavier.

Gong Changjue turned around and saw Chu Ranxuan smiling at her, and he also smiled a little.

Chu Ranxuan handed her the lamp and said softly,

"Palace Chief, congratulations on your birthday."

The peony stamens on the lantern seem to have been replaced by candle seedlings, jumping and blooming in the wind. The dusk stamens are vivid, and the peonies are becoming more and more bewildering.

She heard his voice, smiling and doting,

"Congratulations to you on your birthday."

years and years,

All the best.

It must be years old.

The palace chief smiled,

"Can I make a wish?"
