After the feudal states of the Western Regions were slaughtered by the prince Teng before, after a short period of silence, the Imperial Protectorate has come to play many times, and the surviving nobles of the Western Regions have begun to rebel again.

Fortunately, at the beginning, Jia Cong offered the strategy of fighting local tyrants to divide the land and military camps, and laid down as many as twelve construction corps in the vast Western Regions, and moved a large number of veterans who had retired from the army from the Guannei.

These veterans served the people in their spare time and served as soldiers in wartime, just like nails, and they were fixed in various places in the Western Regions, playing a key role in the stability of the Western Regions for the imperial court.

However, these are just the beginning, whether it is a garrison or a military cantonment, the Western Regions, a place of four wars, not only has internal separatist forces, but also external interference forces are one of the main factors affecting the stability of the Western Regions.

For example, the Rakshasa country that is going to deal with this time, according to the intelligence analysis sent by the Western Regions Protectorate, the people of the Rakshasa country have colluded with the rebels in the Western Regions.

When the Rakshasa and the British interfere in the affairs of Uszambi, those rebels who have recovered the kingdom are likely to provoke war in the Western Regions.

As a result, the dynasty will have to divide its forces to suppress it, and it will be difficult for the western region to free up its hands to help the war in the southwest.

The abacus beads of the Western countries crackled, but they still underestimated the wisdom of the ancestors of the Celestial Empire.

As far as the two times they played, it was not uncommon for them to play long before Zulong unified the Central Plains.

After receiving the report from the Western Regions Protectorate, it took less than a day to formulate several sets of countermeasures.

In addition to Jia Cong's plan to disrupt the rear strategy of the Rakshasa Kingdom, the British Duke Zhang Yue also offered a strategy to the emperor.

However, this strategy was not known to Zhang Yue himself and the emperor until the day before yesterday, when Jia Yu and Liu Ke were edicted into the palace, and the monarch and ministers secretly determined that the two strategies would be implemented at the same time.

At this time, Jia Cong was still unclear about the emperor's plans, thinking that Lao Thirteen had to ask Liu Chong to go to the Western Regions just to facilitate the dispatch and collection of grain and grass.

It wasn't until the eighth day of the fifth month, after all the ceremonies of Baoyu's wedding, that Jia Cong found that his second brother was gone.

Yes, the second master of Rongguo Mansion, who was originally busy welcoming the send-off today, did not appear again after nightfall.

Jia Cong thought that Baoyu was getting married today, and when his brother blocked the wine for his younger brother, he drank too much and went back to the house to rest.

But when the hustle and bustle in the courtyard slowly dissipated, Jia Cong asked her eldest niece Qiqi, and then she heard Qiqi say that her father changed into a golden iron coat, rode a tall horse and left home under the escort of a group of personal soldiers.

"Your second brother, he...... He was ordered to lead 20,000 iron horsemen to the west to conquer the Rakshasas. ”

Wang Xifeng looked at his son who was sleeping on the bed, and he couldn't tell whether he was proud or worried, maybe both.

"This is the general's life, and it is also my life. I don't care about victory or defeat, I just want your second brother to come home safely! ”

Jia Cong recalled that a few days ago, Lao Thirteen forced Liu Chong into the Pingxi army, and they made trouble for a long time, and the real purpose of Liu Chong's trip to the Western Regions was to stabilize the rear and stabilize the supply line for the conquest of the Rakshasa Kingdom.

……

The wedding between Baoyu and Xiangyun was held smoothly and luxuriously, and even Yuan Chun, who had always been cautious, did not raise any objections to this matter.

By the time of dinner on the second day, although the atmosphere of Rongxi Hall was not solemn and sad, it was not as relaxed and lively as before.

The lone army went west thousands of miles away, and Rao was accustomed to seeing the battlefield expedition, and the old man did not dare to say that this battle would definitely be won.

"The DPRK and China have already quarreled all over the world, and many people are questioning the necessity of this war, believing that the DPRK is now at war on all sides, and there is a danger of losing the country in a belligerent war."

Master Zheng's words broke the tranquility of Rongxi Hall, and without waiting for the pardon lord and Jia Cong to react, the newlywed Baoyu pouted and said: "I'm afraid they forgot that there is another sentence behind this sentence, and it will be dangerous to forget the war!" The wolf son of the Rakshasa country has ambitions, and if he dares to plot the Western Regions today, he will be able to reach to the east of Jiayuguan tomorrow. ”

Oh, Baoyu's words are too level!

Lord Pardon and Jia Cong looked at Baoyu almost at the same time, and their eyes showed appreciation and relief.

"At the beginning, His Majesty secretly arranged everything from the DPRK and China, and only then let Lian'er lead the troops to the battle, just to avoid the resistance of the DPRK. With His Majesty Liu Chongzhi sitting in the Western Regions, I am not worried about the supply of grain and grass. The only thing we're worried about now is that we're not familiar with the Rakshasa Kingdom. ”

In war, the time and place are favorable, and in the end it is intelligence.

As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles, unlike the grassland, the Rakshasa Kingdom is really an unknown place for Great Xia.

Jia Lian went here, almost with a black eye.

"Fortunately, Your Majesty just wants your second brother to explore the reality of the Rakshasa Kingdom this time, and there is no requirement to achieve the merit of conquering the city. When the time comes, if you can't beat it, you can return to the Western Regions for repair. ”

Jia Cong shook his head, Dad still underestimated the temperament of our second master.

In addition, they brought the most elite Imperial Tomb Guards and Shenwu Guards of the Dynasty, this group of well-equipped and arrogant Imperial Forest Guards, if they couldn't bite off a large piece of meat from the Rakshasa Kingdom, they would all feel that they had no face to come back.

……

The courtiers were very dissatisfied with the emperor's concealment of the ministers' dispatch of troops to conquer other countries, and they thought that the emperor had broken the rules of the dynasty.

From the beginning of the impeachment of the Metropolitan Governor's Office and the cabinet for inaction, the officials finally directly pointed the finger at the emperor, and drowned out the general administration secretary with the excerpt of impeachment of the emperor.

The emperor couldn't bear the nagging of the officials, avoided the battle, avoided the Longshou Palace, and threw all the government to the crown prince Liu Hong, making the East Palace a new battlefield.

When the East Palace was in a mess, Jia Cong and Daiyu quietly came to the Shunyi County Palace.

Yilan had already followed the Pingxi Army to the Western Regions, and Lan Qiduo and a son and two daughters were left in the palace.

Fortunately, Jia Cong is now the stepfather of the young daughter Baolu, and the two families are good families, and Daiyu follows them, so there is a lot less avoidance.

Daiyu hugged her goddaughter, and Jia Cong talked to Lan Qiduo about the real reason why she suddenly came over today.

"Can the princess contact Ling Zun here? I'd like to ask Ling Zun a favor......"

Lan Qiduo's father, the former Warat Taishi and the patriarch of the Pyros family, was unwilling to return to Great Xia, so he led the Pyros family and 30,000 elite iron horsemen through the Western Regions and went to the west of the Western Regions to create a kingdom that belonged to him.

Judging from the news sent back from the direction of the Western Regions, Alotai's 30,000 iron horsemen were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, sweeping all the way to the west of the Green Mountains, and forcibly cutting off a piece of meat from the Timurid Empire and Kazakhstan.

If it weren't for the lack of men under his command, Arrotai would probably have established a khanate belonging to the Zoros family at this time.

But there is one thing Jia Cong must admit that Arotai's command art is much higher than that of those nomads in the Western Regions, and at this time, the Zhuros tribe has become an important military separatist force in the west of the Western Regions.

The purpose of his visit was to ask Lan Qiduo to write a letter......

"Ling Zun and the soldiers and civilians under his command are, in the final analysis, also descendants of Yan and Huang, with the same roots and ancestors as the people of Great Xia such as us. Even if he was unwilling to surrender to the Celestial Empire, the Celestial Empire did not rush to kill him, but instead sent him west and sent enough grain and grass. For example, if Ling Zun is willing to join forces with the army of the Celestial Empire, the fertile land of the Rakshasa country, Ling Zun is naturally eligible to get a share! ”

Whether the land of the Rakshasa Country is fertile or not, Lan Qiduo does not know.

But one thing is clear, by cooperating with the Celestial Empire, the Khiros family will be free of worries, and her father's dream of establishing the Khundan Khanate will be realized more quickly.

Even if the Khanyūs Khanate was not established in the end, it would be excellent if relations with the Celestial Empire were eased.

Thinking of this, Lan Qiduo did not continue to conceal the prevarication, and immediately nodded and said: "Don't hide it from Lord Xiao Jia, my father once sent someone to Beijing, sent a letter, and arranged for someone to stay in the palace......"

Lan Qiduo also understood that she couldn't hide it from the eyes of the imperial court, so she was not surprised that Jia Cong knew that she had correspondence with her father.

She soon let Arotai's messenger come to the main hall, and after Jia Cong inquired about Arotai's current situation, she admired Arotai's ability and heart even more.

Unexpectedly, in just three years, Arotai had already occupied a large area of fertile land in the Timurid Khanate and Kazakhstan, and had a population of nearly one million, and the army under his command reached nearly 100,000.

He smiled and said: "I didn't expect that the Taishi would not even be known as the Khan of the country." ”

Lan Qiduo really wanted to roll his eyes at Jia Cong, my father didn't build the country and called Khan, and he didn't kill Jia Cong.

The Celestial Empire moved more than 100,000 veterans in the Western Regions, and on the surface, they were all veterans who went to farm, but which family has you seen farming one by one riding a tall horse and holding a long knife.

This will be the Khan of the country under the nose of the army of the Western Regions, could it be that the Ross family wants to continue to migrate westward?

She got over the subject, took pen and paper, and wrote a letter in front of the messenger.

At the same time, Jia Cong also wrote a letter to Arotai, in which he bluntly stated his intention to form an alliance with him, and in the name of the crown prince, promised that if Arotai could help the Celestial Empire to conquer the Rakshasa Kingdom, he would support it in establishing the Rakshasa Khanate in the most fertile land west of the Western Regions.

If Aro is too willing, the Celestial Empire is willing to be commensurate with his brother, and the two countries will be each other's wings and march west together......

Of course, the Rakshasa country has not been destroyed yet, and what kind of brotherly country is the consequence of the joint westward expedition.

Jia Cong drew a big cake for Ah Luo Tai, with one purpose, so that Ah Luo Tai sent troops to help Second Master Lian relieve the pressure.

……

After leaving the palace of Shunyi County, Jia Cong and Daiyu rushed to the palace together.

The East Palace was crowded with a bunch of imperial historians, Jia Cong only stood outside the door and glanced at it and expressed deep sympathy for the prince, and then led Daiyu to the direction of Longshou Palace without looking back.

The old man of the saint and the old man of the emperor each have a fishing rod and sit by the Taiye pond to fish.

After seeing Jia Cong and the others coming, they were all curious.

The old man beckoned Daiyu to sit beside him, and ordered the chamberlain to bring melons and fruits and refreshments, and discussed with him about the establishment of the Royal Higher School.

As for the emperor, he asked about the reason for Jia Cong's sudden arrival.

When he listened to Jia Cong's plan, he pondered for a long time before nodding.

"It is indeed a good idea to join forces with Arotai, although the dynasty has the ability to eat the Rakshasa country, but if it is to conquer a country thousands of miles away, it is not in the interests of the dynasty to cause too many casualties among the soldiers of the dynasty. If Arotai is willing, let alone supporting him to establish a country and become Khan, it is not a big deal for me to call each other brothers. ”

As for what covenant, when the covenant is useful, it is a covenant, and when it is not useful, it is not as good as the toilet paper in the thatched house.

The fourth stubborn man had always been a staunch pragmatist, and the emperor thought that the victory of the western expedition was the best way to exchange a paper with no actual commitment.

Immediately, someone took pen and ink, and after a while, he wrote a secret message.

"Big companion, let someone send it to the prince, stamp it with a big seal, and send ......"

"Your Majesty, let the minister's personal soldiers go. This matter also needs the help of Princess Shunyi. ”

A Luo Tai, Jia Cong still understands.

This person has great ambitions and great talents. Even if Jia Cong was confident that Ah Luotai would agree to the alliance after seeing the emperor's secret decree, with Lan Qiduo as the intermediary, he had a greater certainty.

Another point, Jia Cong didn't want the emperor to send people from the imperial court over, just wanted to turn the matter into a matter of public and private ambiguity.

As long as he is not a serious court envoy, he will tear up the covenant in the future...... My Jia Cong's ass can still carry dozens of boards!

The wise fourth master naturally understood Jia Cong's thoughts, and couldn't cry or laugh.

"You kid...... I don't care about reputation......"

Jia Cong scratched his brain, and replied with a smile: "The minister doesn't care, when the time comes, Your Majesty will let you play the board a little lighter." ”

……

The two armies of Pingxi and Zhengxi went out to fight, and the silver of the household department was carried out like flowing water, and even Master Lin felt distressed.

The officials of the household department are almost continuous these days, and they can't even take care of the big wedding of their nephew and the marriage of their daughter.

Fortunately, the Lin family who came to Beijing from Gusu can help a lot, and Lin Bai's wedding and Daiyu's marriage are moving forward in an orderly manner.

On May 22, Daji, Lin Bai rode a white horse to pick up Tanchun in a wedding dress from Rongguo Mansion.

The old lady once again sent a granddaughter out of the gate of Rongxi Hall, and waited for Lin Bai and Tanchun to disappear at the gate of the courtyard before she sighed and said to Jia Cong: "One by one, only the old woman is left!" ”

"Fortunately, I have my grandmother, the second sister, and the third sister to find a good man. The third brother-in-law is known as Xiaolin Hou and has a great future. The third sister can be so Langjun, and the grandmother should be happy. ”

Jia Cong can understand the feelings of the old lady, whether she is partial or not, several girls in the family are raised by the old lady under her knees, watching them grow up little by little.

On weekdays, the grandchildren and granddaughters talk and laugh on their knees, but now there is only one person left, can the old lady not feel lonely and lost?

But there is no way to avoid this kind of thing, the girl will eventually get married when she is older, and the old lady will not think about enclosing her granddaughter at home and letting them grow old alone until she dies, she is the one who loves her granddaughter after all......

"Fortunately, it won't be long before my grandson can kidnap Sister Lin home, and when the time comes, let Sister Lin be more filial to her grandmother."

Hey~

The family is older than him, and it is finally time to marry a daughter-in-law, a daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law.

Finally, it's his turn to marry Sister Lin home as a daughter-in-law!
