Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Second Punch
There will be more monthly passes in the evening, right?
I'm in a completely explosive rhythm.
"Hearing that Cangyue is a traitor, I, Yun Qin, am not thin on him, I can't rebel, not to mention the assassination of the prince, I actually defected to the enemy and betrayed the country, I really deserve a thousand cuts!"
"It's a shame that he was a hero before, but he turned out to be such a shameless character. ”
"This kind of person who forgets who his ancestors are should be slowly burned to death in public!"
"What kind of place is Damang, have you forgotten that the thirty thousand army in the Chinese New Year's Eve were killed by Dean Zhang and lost their armor? ”
"That is, Wenren Cangyue will definitely be captured by my Yunqin army and executed in public. ”
“......”
The discussion outside the courtyard wall was very loud, very warm and noisy, even through several courtyards, Lin Xi standing in the courtyard could hear it.
Wrapped in these voices, Lin Xi's brows frowned slightly.
"Concubine Rong. ”
He snapped.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and under the eaves of the porch hangs a long ridge of ice as thick as a baby's arm.
Chen Feirong has already put on a white fox fur jacket, I don't know if she has been overworked recently, or because of the rich relationship between the fluffy white fox fur around her neck, her face looks smaller, but the light on her face is more radiant, and she seems to be a few years younger.
Earlier, she had already come to Lin Xi's courtyard once, but Lin Xi didn't come out to meet her as usual, so she retreated first to deal with some other things, and when she walked in at this moment, she felt at a glance that Lin Xi's temperament had become a little different from usual, more calm and lofty, she couldn't help but be happy, and said softly: "Broken?"
Lin Xi nodded, and a soul power permeated his hands, causing the skin of his hands to shine with a dignified, faint yellow light like a metallic luster.
Just today, his soul power cultivation finally broke through the peak of the Great Soul Master, and broke through to the cultivation of the national scholar level, whether it was the soul power in his body or his body, there were some substantial changes.
All his opponents thought that after he suffered a heavy physical and mental blow in Biluo Tomb, and suffered a near-annihilation disaster in the court, his cultivation would be very sluggish even if he did not regress. However, his opponents didn't expect that what Lin Xi valued was different from what they valued, and they wouldn't have thought that this autumn and winter would be the fastest time for Lin Xi to enter the country.
"Your Excellency, you are such a genius. Seeing Lin Xi's hands and skins that had become as shiny as metal, and feeling the strength of those soul powers, Chen Feirong could also feel Lin Xi's mood at the moment, she smiled and said softly: "After all, this is something to be happy about, you should be happy... No matter how strong Wenren Cangyue is now, he will definitely die in the hands of adults in the future. ”
"Senior Gu Xinyin told me that people must learn to love and hate, but they can't be occupied by hatred, otherwise they will become a monster who only knows how to hate. You're right, it's something to be happy about, and I should be happy. Lin Xi's face showed a smile of gentleness and admiration, "Fortunately, with you by my side, it is easier to feel better." I just thought that Senior Gu Xinyin had been in the dark water prison for so long, and he hadn't become a monster who only knew how to hate, and there were some things in him that were indeed worth learning from me. ”
Chen Feirong smiled softly and said, "Humility and courtesy are indeed one of your great virtues. ”
Lin Xi smiled slightly and said, "Is there any special news?"
Chen Feirong said: "A few days ago, I heard that Cangyue was marching north, although he had retreated, but the exact situation was that he used 50,000 Damang troops to raid the 80,000 Qianxia army, and the 10,000 forward army of the Damang army was completely annihilated, but the casualties of the Qianxia army were more than 20,000, so in any case, Yun Qin was not a big victory... There is also because of the fact that he commanded the Da Mang army to invade the border of Yunqin and Qin, the people were angry, and countless people wanted to dig up the ancestral graves of the Wen people, and later there were a lot of official documents in the palace, saying that Wen Ren Cangyue was just someone's illegitimate child, and it had nothing to do with the Wen family. ”
Lin Xi nodded and muttered: "No matter how strong a general is, even if there are many generals who are close to him, it is impossible to quickly become familiar with the unfamiliar Seventh Route Army. It is impossible for his injuries to recover so quickly, and when the army marches and fights in winter, in addition to the heavy snow closing the road, the supply of ordnance and supplies is not high, and the number of injuries and illnesses among ordinary sergeants will be relatively high. Moreover, in the face of the emperor's southern expedition, when the military situation and the country's strength are slightly weaker, he should be on the defensive first, slowly train the troops, and wear down the strength of the Yunqin army. Therefore, he needs at least a winter of recuperation, and it is impossible for him to take the initiative to cross the Qianxia border before next spring. He did this only to further anger the emperor and the main war magnates of the Zhongzhou Imperial City. That Wenren Lao Shoufu is also an anti-war faction, and if such a thing happens, to keep the ancestral tomb, I am afraid that there is some tacit understanding reached between the Zhongzhou Imperial City and the Wenren family. Maybe just because this wants to keep the reputation, the position of the Wen family must also be given up. In this way, next year's Chunyun Qin's Southern Expedition is a foregone conclusion, and the forces invested will be greater, as long as the road is suitable for a large army to fight, the emperor is afraid that he will immediately issue a military order, and the Southern Expedition will begin. ”
Chen Feirong nodded, looked at Lin Xi and said, "Recently, a large number of conscriptions have begun, and from next spring, the number of young and strong laborers in Yunqin will decrease, and the output of rice and grain will decrease." The establishment of a province in Biluoling has also been agreed, but according to the exact information, it will be divided into two provinces with Shanyang Road as the boundary. ”
"As in the previous famine years caused by natural disasters, there was not enough rice, but the court would restrict the price of rice, so if there was not enough fine rice, the whole rice and noodle business would need a lot of coarse grains. In terms of Biluoling, let Xu Sheng take as much land as possible, some inferior land that is not suitable for planting fine grains, and if he can take it, he will also take more, which can be used to grow coarse grains. Lin Xi said calmly: "I'm only worried that next year, our Dadexiang will not have enough rice and grain supply, and other businesses will compete with us, which is not something to worry about at all, because they will definitely not be our opponents." Now that Da Sheng Gao has agreed to our terms and agreed to give such an astonishing amount of money, then our second step can begin. ”
Chen Feirong smiled and smiled amorously: "Okay, since this time it is their money, they will definitely be willing to contribute, so our second step should be faster than expected." ”
......
On the border line of Qianxia Mountain.
The first snow on the Qianxia border came later than Dafuji Town in Qixia Province, where Lin Xi was located, but after the first snow, the second and third snow fell quickly.
In the white snowfield, which was already two feet thick on the border line, there were countless corpses of soldiers and horses that had frozen stiffly.
There was a Yunqin army of hundreds of people burying the corpses of their fallen soldiers on the spot, cleaning up and picking some useful ordnance, loading it into a truck and pulling it back.
Countless crows flew in the air, making extremely noisy calls.
These crows were originally the main force of scavenging on the border line of Yunqin and Damang, but I don't know when, there are a large number of vultures on this border line, these fierce vultures are grabbing food, these crows dare not approach at all, only dare to salivate and circulate and fly, and when these vultures change places and move some positions, a large number of crows dare to rush down, desperately snatching the vultures to leave the scraps cold, Ding Xing's flesh and blood.
A Yun Qin sergeant marched in silence when a large group of vultures landed not far in front of him, shaking off their foul-smelling wings and tearing and pecking at several stiff corpses.
Seeing that the corpses of the few dead soldiers in black armor were torn to pieces in an instant, and it was unbearable to see, this Yun Qin sergeant couldn't bear it anymore, and took out the black long knife on his back and rushed forward, but after beheading several vultures in a row, startling all the vultures to fly, this Yun Qin sergeant let out a low howl of weakness and pain.
Because this snow-covered battlefield is too vast.
In this battlefield full of corpses, vultures, and crows, there were hundreds of them, and when seen from the air, they were only a black speck on this vast battlefield.
Even if you keep slashing, how many vultures can you kill, and how many crows can you kill?
......
In the winter of Yunqin, when there was still more than a month before the New Year's Pass, Wenren Cangyue, who defected to Damang and became the supreme commander of the Seventh Army of Damang, was in the midst of the surging public sentiment in Yunqin and was preparing to go south to fight against the rebellion, but instead took the initiative to wave his army to the north and crossed the border pass of Damang, and the Yunqin border army commanded by Hu Piyi, who was also known as a genius in Yunqin, launched a strangulation for several days, until a heavy snow fell, the battle between the two sides ended, and the Damang army retreated.
Within a radius of hundreds of miles, more than 30,000 corpses were left behind on both sides, plus countless horse corpses and broken ordnance, and the Qianxia border line was as cruel as purgatory.
Soon after the news that the defecting general heard that Cangyue dared to fight against the Yunqin Empire spread throughout the Yunqin Empire, another news that was not a war, but was also extremely shocking for a business, also spread within the Yunqin Empire.
Some time ago, with the monopoly of the golden silk pomelo tea and soap paste business, the acquisition of Datong firm Dadexiang, in the unexpected consumption of silver, into the rice noodle business, almost unified Qixia Province, there is a more amazing hand. In less than a month, in one go, in most of the important capitals of the entire Yunqin Empire, hundreds of semicolons specializing in rice and noodles business were opened!
This kind of method can no longer be described by the word "courage" alone.
This is no longer like something that a new big business that has just been on the stage can do, but like something that can only be done by a giant business that has been dominating Yunqin for many years and has a certain level of wealth.
