"So be it," Emperor Xing stood up and waved his hand to signal the ministers to disperse. I never thought that Ni Song, the secretary of the ministry, had something to say.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, Northwest Dao, who should come to this new commander of the army?"

Emperor Xing glanced at Ni Song, then at Chen Can, and finally asked, "Master Tong, what do you think about this matter?"

Tong Yan knew that he must have annoyed the emperor tonight, and if he didn't come out at this time, he was afraid that the future would not be easy. So, he replied stubbornly, "Your Majesty, I think that Luo Shiquan, the deputy general of General Chen Qiushui of Longyou Dao, has rich experience and a degree of use of troops, and can be a big responsibility."

Ni Song then Tong Yan said: "Luo Shiquan, the current official worships General Zhongwu, is the fourth grade, at the end of the year, the officials are evaluated for the first grade. He has been guarding Longyoudao for 12 years, and is the first deputy general of General Chen Qiushui, and has been by General Chen's side for seven years. This person was born in the grass people, and he has no official background. ”

Emperor Xing nodded, "What do Zaifu and the general think?" ”

Hearing the emperor's words and himself, Zai Fu Zhao Puren opened his eyes, glanced at Ni Song, the secretary of the ministry, and said slowly, "Ni Shangshu has a good memory."

And Chen Can, another general asked by the emperor, didn't seem to have any other ideas, so he replied, "The minister thinks it's appropriate"

So the emperor nodded again, "Then let's do it, Luo Shi will be promoted by half a level, and he will be given the title of General Yunlu, and he will lead the troops on the same day and guard the Northwest Road."

The next day, although the plan had been made last night, when the news of the death of the entire army in the Northwest Province spread all over the courtiers, there was a lot of discussion in the court for a while, there were those who beat their chests and feet, there were those who rolled up their sleeves and wanted to fight hand-to-hand with the grassland, and even more, if it were not for the father-in-law at the gate of the main hall, I am afraid that some of them had already wanted to leave the palace and rush to Chaotian Pass immediately.

Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor coughed lightly and immediately calmed down the chaotic situation. Otherwise, this court meeting will be like the market, and it will be chaotic until the sun rises.

The emperor's national policy is established, and the adults have nothing to say. At most, it's a war of words, of course, Li Yannian, who died in the grassland a long time ago, will definitely not be able to escape and have to eat a few catties of saliva.

The decrees from the capital of the Xing Emperor flew into the northwest like snowflakes, but before the Luo Shiquan of Longyou Road rushed to Chaotian Pass, a greater disadvantage came, Chaotian Pass was too guarded by Wu Youfang to abandon the city, and the army of the grassland did not stand still as everyone expected, but did not spend a single soldier, and had already driven into the Chaotian Pass that had stood between the grassland and Daxing for hundreds of years.

Good rain knows the season, when spring happens. Dive into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently. The steppe cavalry entered the city, not as everyone expected before, like locusts crossing the border without leaving a piece of armor, on the contrary, the army was in complete formation, and the crossing did not commit any offense, not at all like the previous Daxing in the territory - the grassland barbarians were scattered and came and went.

After the steppe army was stationed, the people in the city soon discovered that many traces of the city left by the old age, such as the broken walls and damaged streets, seemed to have been repaired overnight. The shops on the street also seemed to continue to open without much influence, and the only thing that changed was probably the officers and soldiers wearing soft armor who patrolled the streets from time to time, and the soldiers of Daxing were replaced by soldiers of the grassland.

Soon, a notice was posted on the bulletin board in the city, the content was very simple, so simple that it was outrageous, only four words "business as usual", and a bright red seal was stamped next to it, but the content of the seal was about the grassland character, and no one understood it at present. But what does business as usual mean? Mengtong, who can read and write, can probably know that everything is the same as before. When was it before? Isn't it time for Daxing to take charge of this Chaotian Pass?

The death of the Northwest Army was sudden, but Wu Youfang, the Taishou of Chaotianguan, kept blocking the news until the grassland army entered the city, and everyone in the city knew that his net worth had changed hands. However, today's proclamation can be regarded as calming the hearts of everyone in the city.

Sharp-eyed people have already discovered that the blind storyteller who was arrested and put in prison for talking nonsense about the death of the Northwest Army has opened a stall at the gate of the city again. It's just that today's people look at this blind man and tell stories, and they have a different taste.

The blind man is blind and deaf, and he has the taste of listening to books, and although he has never seen it, how shrewd he is, it must be very interesting to know the present situation without thinking. The blind man looked mocking, but he cleared his throat and told a new round of stories as the adult had meant last night.

Today's story is different from usual, what is the difference? In the past, there were mostly old news about Daxing, or rare anecdotes of Daxing officialdom. As for the authenticity of the content, the judges have their own plans in mind.

What about today? The blind man started from the death of the Northwest Army, and the grassland cavalry all the way to the present entered Chaotianguan, and then the cavalry went south to attack the city in Daxing. One by one, the head of the story is the Tao. Not to mention those that have happened, even those siege events that have not yet happened, the blind man said it vividly, as if he could really pinch it.

Of course, everyone didn't believe it, if it was said that the temporary loss of Chaotian Pass was a temporary nap of the Daxing border army, then the steppe cavalry continued to move south, presumably it must have suffered heavy losses. After all, it's still those years, only Daxing bullies the grassland, when will it be the turn of the grassland to counterattack Daxing?

That being said, but what if? Isn't what the blind man is talking about now? The previous blind man was obviously locked up in the city prison, and the grassland soldiers entered the gate for only one day, and then they were able to sit peacefully under the gate of the city and open a stall.

The blind man's mouth is like a river, and in his eloquent conversation, the northwest road of Daxing has fallen into the hands of the grassland, and next, it is time for the grassland army to enter the pass and force Chang'an. But the strange thing is that after the blind man talked about the loss of the Northwest Road, he kept silent.

If there is a good thing, he smiled and asked the blind man why he didn't say it? The blind man stretched out the folding fan in his hand, and after fanning it gently, he bluntly said that the story behind it would be broken down tomorrow. The people were not annoyed by this, not even the slightest disappointment. This is not because everyone present is familiar with the storyteller's routine, but because the people who are watching here actually have the heart to do this blind man.

Although the blind man couldn't see, he also knew that although dozens of people were bustling around him, their eyes and hearts were staring at the closed gate. But today, I'm afraid they will be disappointed.

The blind man coughed lightly twice, "Today's story is over, although no one rewards you, but the picture is lively, blind man, I will give you a sentence to explain the words"

There was still the young man in the crowd who coaxed, "Haha, the blind man can not only tell books, but also tell fortunes?" Just after saying this, he remembered the "hexagram" that the blind man had calculated before that the Northwest Army was all dead, and the young man shut up again.

The blind man smiled, "It's not difficult to say that it's not difficult to explain words, and it's not easy to say it, just take the four words "business as usual" in today's case."

The blind man paused deliberately, and sure enough, the crowd that was about to disperse gathered again. "You must know the meaning of "everything", that is, all the people and things in this city are within the scope of all this."

What about "business as usual"? It's a bit hard to understand. According to the blind man, this still means that the people and things in the city, when it is the same as when the steppe army did not enter the city, you should eat, drink, and listen, of course, you still come to the blind man. ”

Someone who was straightforward and couldn't help it, even caught up with the blind man's words: "Blind, in the past, this gate out of the city was not closed like it is today, so how can it be the same as before?" ”

The blind man raised his eyes and looked at the crowd with empty eyes, "I can't see the blind man, but you can take a closer look, aren't all the shops on this street still open, so ah, listen to me, don't panic, it's not easy to save a family business, don't lose it easily."

Although there was disdain in the crowd, everyone present chewed on the blind man's words. The grassland entered the customs suddenly, except for the Taishou Wu Youfang, who was well-informed, and his legs and feet were fast, and many other officials, wealthy businessmen, and Da Jia Mo still had gold and silver or family members in the city, and most of the people in the crowd at this time were in this part. If they could, of course, they would like to take their families and their families to the Taiping Realm further south. If you can go to Jiangnan Province, Huainan Province, it is the best, if you can't, it is also excellent to go to Kannai Road, Henan Province. However, after the grassland people entered the customs, they did not make any mistakes, which made their original desire to take advantage of the chaos to get out of the city come to naught. But the proclamation of "business as usual" gave them some hope again, so they waited at the gate early in the morning. At this moment, they deeply felt that if they didn't say that the steppe people were cunning, it was obvious that from "business as usual" to the fact that the city gates were closed.

Today's blind man obviously has the use of the grassland people's living "notices", and what he said today must also be what the grassland people want to let everyone in the city know through his mouth. Thinking about this, everyone present stopped waiting and dispersed one after another. And the blind man behind the storytelling stall finally breathed a sigh of relief for the completion of the meaning of the prairie adults.
