Let it be, it's out of control.

As he was talking, Ah Yi came in and whispered, "The identity of that woman has been found, she is the daughter of the Cui family, the first family of the Shang Kingdom, named Cui Yue, and she is the favorite sister of Lian Jin and Cui Jie, and is trusted by the two." ”

"Cui Yue, the people of the Cui family are a little carried away now, their seats are not yet secure, and their hands are still quite long. ”

Xie Ming did not shy away from his confidants when he spoke, everyone listened to it sincerely, and there were no real stupid people here, guessing that the female prisoner wanted by the general was probably the Cui family that the general said, the Cui family is indeed the first family in the Shang country now, but it has to be mentioned as a foundation, but it has only risen in recent decades, and the only thing to be afraid of is the 480,000 army in Cui Jie's hands now.

The scribe said, "The Cui family has developed rapidly over the years, there is a queen in the family, and it is the prince's mother's family, and it is not surprising that it has risen to become the first family. ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded yes, all countries have their own shortcomings, and there is no strongest, so they are temporarily in balance, raising troops every year, and training troops without stopping.

Xie Ming said, "Let's not consider these first, although Cui Jie's army is not displayed on the border, but it is placed in Yuzhou, which is five hundred miles away from the border, it can be entered and defended, if the army comes, it will only take three days to reach my border, if he surprises his troops over the Helian Mountains and raids the Yunnan River, with the strength of the Yunnan River, it can not withstand for a few days, it can penetrate deep into the hinterland of my Great Chu, and Cui Jie absolutely obeys Lian Jin's orders, it is really a big trouble." ”

The deputy general said, "Although the troops of Yunnan and Sichuan are not as many as the garrisons on the south, north and west borders, they are all elite soldiers, and its defender Zhang Ling is also an experienced veteran, and the terrain of the Helian Mountains is complicated, so he can't invest too many troops." ”

"Although the Helian Mountains are considered to be a barrier to protect my Great Chu, but the enemy has a heart, and it is not difficult to break through, but pity my Great Chu is facing the enemy three times, and several barriers are not absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

When the bearded general heard this, he smiled and said, "Although there is a lot of pressure, it is also a good thing that everyone is working the border defense and working together with the outside world." He said to the scribe again, "Last time, Elder Gao told us about the development of our Dachu, these places are all fought down by us, compared to shrinking behind any natural danger, we ourselves are more reliable, Dachu has experienced many wars over the past few hundred years, and has been regarded as a thorn in the side of other countries, but our territory is getting bigger and bigger, which is what we are most proud of." ”

Other people also felt proud when they heard it, although the bearded man said foul language, but this is also a fact, if it is really a death fight, no matter how powerful the natural danger is, the only one who can rely on it is to improve himself.

Xie Ming also smiled, "Indeed, we have our own reliance, we complete our affairs, and the rest can be negotiated by the imperial court, and we are responsible for guarding the frontier and not letting the Shang State take advantage of it." ”

A general asked, "Then what should Cui Yue do with this?

Ah Yi listened to it and added, "Interrogation for days, this Cui Yue is nominally the governor of the two states, but she is inexperienced, and there are not many things she personally handles, just based on the news of the people below, make some big decisions, we have arrested many core people, whether she wants to catch it alive or not, there is not much difference." ”

Even so, it is unforgivable just for her to order the killing of more than 40,000 people, even if the two countries are opposed, it is not a reason to decide the lives of tens of thousands of civilians so easily, but after this incident, I have already seen that Shang Guo has bad intentions, but he has not yet torn his face on the bright side, and it is still unknown whether this Cui Yue's weight is enough to provoke the two countries or even the three countries to fight.

The strategist surnamed Gao said, "At present, the Shang State does not dare to send troops easily, and the hearts of other countries are not aligned, if we prepare with peace of mind, it is not an opportunity for my Chu State, but the dispute between the princes is becoming more and more fierce, and the future is really unknown." ”

The black-faced deputy general said, "Isn't there still an emperor? Since the emperor has come forward once, he must also be secretly concerned, and it is also one of the responsibilities of the emperor to stabilize the dynasty, and they must also be considering and choosing." ”

"None of the princes has an absolute advantage, the emperor's bias will be the biggest bargaining chip, but meddling in the change of the throne has been taboo since ancient times, even if the emperor is the spiritual leader, he will also have a reputation for personal gain. ”

"Although the Jin State is not as good as my Chu State, they have been friends with the Shang State for so many years, and they want to advance and retreat together, but I am afraid that once the war starts, we will be attacked on both sides. ”

The strategist surnamed Gao said, "My Da Chu should also make an ally, so as not to be completely at a disadvantage." ”

Xie Ming said, "Everyone's worries are not unreasonable, everything is better to prevent trouble, but the news in Beijing, Your Majesty's condition is aggravated, the imperial decree is impermanent, and even the ten princes have to go to the court to govern the government, even if we are on the fold, I don't know what kind of answer there will be." ”

The generals looked at each other, if it was a simple war, it would not be a problem, but the decision of the DPRK and the Central Committee was too important for all localities, and one of their decisions was not a victory or defeat at one time or one place, but a decision that decided the life and death of the entire country.

Xie Ming thought for a while and ordered, "Spread the news, go in the direction of Shang and Jin, and double the strict guard, as long as you detect the movement of the enemy leader, you will not be killed." ”

Since you don't know the depth, let's give it a try.

As soon as the military order was given, the generals naturally did not question it, and they were ordered to retreat without mentioning it.

Xie Ming took Ah Yi back, and asked about the details on the way, Ah Yiyi, "The few fake Cui Yue caught are not of high quality, and most of them are still a little afraid of death, thinking that it should be a temporary decision to save people on the way I can escort her, and temporarily arrange people to disturb the line of sight, really Cui Yue must be hiding." ”

Xie Ming said, "It has nothing to do with quality, who in the world is not afraid of death? I just held it in one breath, gritted my teeth and refused to admit it, and I had something more important than life and death, so I gave up life and death, let them go, and was above board." ”

Ah Yi understands the master, so he naturally does it, and those who are afraid of death see the way to life, how can they bear not to leave?

After giving the order to kill, the other party had only one way to blend in with the envoys, and they blended into the envoys, although they got a respite for a while, but they would also be exposed to surveillance, anyway, she was going to be escorted to the capital as the main culprit, so let her walk over by herself, isn't it just right? And Sister Yan also wants to meet this enemy.

Xie Ming sent a letter: The female culprit arrested by the young man of Hezhou that day was the daughter of the Cui family of the Shang State, the sister of the prince of the Shang State and the general Cui Jie, who was rescued the day before yesterday.

Today, as discussed with the scholars, the situation of Great Chu is precarious, and when thinking about the alliance, stabilize the dynasty as soon as possible, determine the storage position, and discuss an alliance with Qin to resist Shang and Jin, as for the border defense, the map has been thinking for a long time, and the border is temporarily worry-free, but the defense of Helian's land is weak, and he still needs to adjust in the future.

In addition, most of the entrusted work has been completed, and new officials should be urgently awaited to take office, but they should not be perfunctory because of impatience.

Put down the pen and think for a moment, wait for the ink to dry, hand it over to the dark guard, and the flying pigeon will send it out urgently.

This side is wanted, but Cui Yue has a fever in the cave, and she was injured and did not treat it in time, so she relied on it in one breath to support it, and relaxed a little, although it is not cold in summer, it is cold in the cave, and the delicate body of the eldest lady has reached the limit.

But there is still one day, the envoys of the Jin Kingdom can come to the small city, blend in with it, and have a way to live.

Ning Ming arranged to disturb the line of sight, and was arrested most of the time, Cui Jie got the news that Ning Ming had already planned to save Cui Yue, but now that the two states and the border are under martial law everywhere, it is difficult to transmit the news, and even the person who delivers the news does not know the news.

Everyone has a black eye, as the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and the Xie family is not a head snake, but Bai Ze, a divine beast guarding the Chu State.

The woman knew some medical skills, but unfortunately she had no medicine, so she could only carefully find some herbs around the cave and simply boiled them for Cui Yue to drink.

Ning Ming kept wetting the crockpot with a cloth and put it on her forehead.

The medicine was almost boiled, but Cui Yue clenched her teeth and couldn't feed it, so she spilled half of the medicine for a long time, but she didn't drink it in a sip.

Ning Ming had no choice but to say in her ear, "Don't you still want to fight with Sister Xie Yan, fight with the Xie family, see and see the top and bottom of the Chu country, and make the Cui family a veritable first family in the future? If you don't force yourself to drink medicine and don't live, all this has nothing to do with you." ”

Cui Yue's closed eyes moved, her mouth loosened a little, the two hurriedly fed the medicine in, and Ning Ming said to her, "You hold on for another day, as long as one day." ”

I only heard her faint voice say, "Okay." ”

It's not just that the woman's medicine works, but after drinking the medicine twice, Cui Yue gradually got better, no longer the hideous appearance of the dying disease, but very calm.

Only Ning Ming understood that she was experiencing every pain, so she didn't say anything more, just changed the cloth towel for her.

Never felt like a day was so long.

This day was painful for her, but for the other, it was extremely happy.

Erniu, who escaped from the mine to report the news, received a reward after the military masters finished their work, and returned to the village with gratitude.

At the beginning, Sister Yan saved him and promised to save others, but I didn't expect this noble lady to really do it, and the young lady also personally instructed him to treat him preferentially, so he also received a bag of silver that was enough to maintain the family's livelihood for more than ten years, and was personally sent back to the village by the military master and regarded as a hero.

Xiuxiu, who was thinking about it, didn't care about his shyness, and threw herself into his arms, crying and laughing, he wanted to laugh, but he didn't know why, and he was also bitter.

Wiping the tears on his face, "Xiuxiu, I have silver, I can marry you." ”

Xiuxiu withdrew from his arms under the coaxing of everyone, turned sideways, wiped away her tears, and stomped away, "Who wants to marry you." ”

Everyone pulled him to ask long and short questions, thinking that grandma said, "At the beginning, you said that you were going to work in a distant place, but you haven't come back for a long time, and I heard that there are people in other villages who have not moved for two years, and the class scared us to death, and Xiuxiu lost weight several times when she was worried." ”

"Let everyone worry, when the time comes, Xiuxiu and I will get married, please have a wedding wine. ”

The people around watched them grow up, except for Erniu who was a little poor, he was good everywhere, and Xiu Xiuniang didn't dislike him, she just wanted him to be more angry, so she had the idea of working to earn money and marrying a daughter-in-law.

Everyone listened to his words and was happy for him, and some people coaxed, "Xiuxiu said, if I don't marry you, you won't chase after you?"

Erniu hurriedly said, "Alas, I'll go now." ”

Just about to run, he was stopped by the big strong daughter-in-law who had just arrived, "Erniu, where is our big and strong family?"
