Chapter 345: The Princely General Xiangning Has a Kind (5)
In the early morning, the sky outside was overcast, and when I looked out through the crack in the door, the cold wind was bitter outside, and from time to time, the snow that had fallen a few days ago was blown again.
Xiao Qi put on a cloak and checked several rooms in his yard again, and after finding nothing, he walked quickly to the gate of the courtyard and gently opened the door of his courtyard.
There were no people standing at the gate of Xiaoqi, and in such a cold weather, those courtyards must be in the small cabin at the door.
Just as Xiao Qi wanted to go forward, the door of the cabin was opened, and two courtyards walked out of it, and said to Xiao Qi: "Miss Seven, don't ask again, we really haven't seen Miss Ai Yaya in your courtyard." ”
"Oh."
"Hey, Miss Seven, don't worry, if there is news of Miss Ai Yaya, we will definitely come in and inform you, so don't worry."
"Thank you."
Xiao Qi returned to her room in a loss, Ai Yaya had not heard any news for two days, and no one in the Zhang family had seen her go out, or be in the courtyard.
Xiao Qi returned to his room and took out a book from the shelf, but after opening it, he closed the book again, and this action was repeated many times.
Ai Yaya's disappearance made Xiao Qi, who didn't have much desire, feel a sense of oppression, she didn't know why Ai Yaya disappeared, and even, she still didn't have a clue about Ai Yaya's disappearance.
After all, in the midst of a lament, Xiao Qi still got up and put the book in the position where the book was placed before.
"Ai yes, where the hell have you gone!"
Things always turn out unexpectedly, and the rebels have not yet been resolved, and there is bad news in the southeast.
Due to the impact of the snowstorm on the northern plains of the south, the supply of military rations to the north could no longer be expected, and several state capitals near the sea in the southeast consciously detained the people of the three states in order to show their loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor.
The people of the three states have to provide supplies for the army of the entire north and the snow-stricken areas for a long time. These toiling masses can be regarded as submissive, but the governor of this state capital wants to ask His Majesty the Emperor for credit.
directly demanded that the people of the three states pay three times the price. So, finally, some people couldn't stand the oppression of the state capital and rebelled.
During the same period, His Royal Highness King Ning of Chaozhou, under the persuasion of Chaozhou officials and scholars, set off a rebellion for the purpose of "Qingjun's side".
The news had already spread to various places when the road was closed by heavy snow.
For a time, there were not a few people who set themselves up as kings in the territory of Chengguo, and the original powerful Dacheng Kingdom suddenly became fragmented at this time.
The army in the north of Chengguo has not received any news at this time, and it is still fighting with the soldiers who went to the water country, and you come and go more and more frequently, and in the end, the Chengguo side can't stand it without the blessing of materials after all, and begins to withdraw the army on a large scale.
Yin Gaosui and several generals were originally trying to reduce the number of troops and maintain the operation of the army, and even after a few fierce battles later, Yin Gaosui could only let those who had no combat effectiveness freeze to death on the battlefield.
The soldiers in the army are already full of grievances, and they have not heard the news of the delivery of materials for a long time, and these soldiers do not know whether they will starve to death or die on the battlefield first.
Yin Gaosui also understood this, and finally after doing his best, after taking a grain and grass city in the Water Country, he transported all the grain and grass away, and gave the many fortresses in the northern land of the fruit to the Water Country.
Instead, he retreated all the way to a natural danger zone that became a country.
This is no wonder that on the heads of their generals, the country on the opposite side obviously did not think of fighting to the death with them, as if they knew that there would be a natural disaster this year, they went to the country of water to transport grain and grass to several cities within the border early.
After the heavy snow closed the mountain, they began a strategic stalemate with the Chengguo army, and when they ran out of grain and grass in their hands, at this time, they didn't have to waste a single soldier, and they got a large area of Chengguo's territory in vain.
After all, the news of the great turmoil in Chengguo still reached the ears of these northern soldiers, and if one of them was not handled well, it would be a sudden mutiny.
In just a few months, less than half of the 42 states in Chengguo are still in the hands of Chengguo.
News of the fall and rebellion continued to spread from all over the country, and by January, the situation of the whole country had reached a stalemate, and the northern countries that went to the water seemed to want to compete with each other for profit.
None of these people in Chengguo want to be the first bird, after all, Yin Gaoce still has most of the territory in his hands, and there is a country where he resists the north.
As for the small leaders of the civil uprising, although they wanted to hear about the country, they lacked sophisticated weapons in their hands, so they could only act like gangs and form gangs, but in their hearts no one obeyed anyone.
Once these people go to war, they will be a thorn in the side of all those who have military strength, but it is also with these people that the princes and feudal officials in various places have not moved much.
It was a great chaos in the world, and they also took advantage of the trend, and those civil rebels just became their buffer zone.
The world is in turmoil, but after the chaos in the capital for a while, it has returned to its original appearance, and what the people should do is still what they do.
The only thing that has changed is that the people have begun to save up for their own food, and now there is no way for the grain from the south to reach the south, and the capital has emptied the granary near Gyeonggi some time ago and sent it to the north.
Now the people of Gyeonggi don't know how long they can use the grain, so they hide their surplus grain in various parts of their homes for fear of accidents.
Affected by this, Zhang's food has now dropped to a higher level, and Xiao Qi is no exception.
It's just that compared to before, Xiao Qi is now chatting with several nurses in the small cabin at the entrance of his courtyard.
Several nurses were dumbfounded, looking at Xiao Qi in disbelief, of course, they still listened with relish.
After a while, Xiao Qi looked at the sluggish few people, cleared his throat, touched his nose embarrassedly, picked up a food box from the table, and walked out of the cabin, leaving everyone thinking about Xiao Qi's words.
A person in the nursing home, suddenly someone woke up from the shock, sighed and said, "Miss Seven..."
After hearing his voice, several nurses looked at the door with understanding, and one person said: "Several young ladies of our Zhang family, others say that they are unusual, and at this time, I really realized that they are all fairy-like women." ”
The others said in unison, "Hmm." ”
When Xiao Qi came over to get his lunch just now, he suddenly heard these nursing homes talking about the current situation in Chengguo, so Xiao Qi interjected and said a few words, and then these people became sluggish.
These nurses pondered for a long time, sighed and said: "Hey, every word that Miss Seven said is to explain my Dacheng's situation clearly, and I really can't find any words that can refute it." ”
Another nurse said, "Don't believe me, I was on an errand day in the courtyard of an elder at home, and this elder and one of his friends talked about the great things of the day. It's similar to what Miss Seven said, but it's not as light as Miss Seven said. ”
Several nurses were chattering and discussing Xiao Qi's words just now, and they all agreed with Xiao Qi's analysis very much, but for the prediction in the back, a few people listened to it to the extent of fun.
The reason is that her prediction is too bold, and it seems that this prediction is just a whimsical idea of Xiao Qi.
Even so, these people still showed a touch of admiration and envy for Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi put the food box on the table, and sighed, it wasn't that she accidentally told those nurses about these things just now, he deliberately told them these things.
There was no news of Ai Yaya, so Xiao Qi had to choose a strange path, that is, to let those people in the mansion notice their talents, in vain that they could attract attention, and then find Ai Yaya.
Xiao Qi seems to have an inexplicable sense of familiarity with the things in the world these days, and he doesn't know where this inexplicable scolding comes from.
Looking at the few books on the shelves, Xiao Qi smiled gloomily, maybe this is because he has read a few books recently, and he feels that he can do it again.
After Xiao Qi finished lunch, he put these utensils back to the hut in front of the courtyard, but Xiao Qi found that there were more nursing homes here.
There were quite a lot of subordinates, and the whole room was not too big, and it suddenly seemed crowded.
Xiao Qi put the food box on the table, and was stared at by several people, Xiao Qi sneered: "What's wrong?" But what's the news? ”
One of the nurses put a stool in front of Xiao Qi, and then put the food box aside.
"Miss, please take a seat, we just want to hear your analysis!"
Xiao Qi unexpectedly made a sound, looking at the nursing home who was talking in a very confused way, I really didn't know what he thought.
The nurse smiled and said: "Don't hide it from Miss, you said, the news came out of the house just now, just like what you predicted, Miss, I told a few of them, they still don't believe it, doesn't it happen that you came, you just say a few words?" ”
Xiao Qi looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Isn't this okay?" ”
"Miss, don't worry, we are the most reliable, just say, we will not go out to talk nonsense."
"No, I'm afraid that what I said is wrong, after you people listen to it, if it doesn't happen according to what I say next time, won't you come and talk about me behind my back?"
This subordinate touched his hat, just smiled awkwardly, and didn't return to what Xiao Qi said was right.
