The wind and snow in Jinyang overwhelmed the city, and the slaughter in the middle of winter has not yet passed.

Along the territory to the south, all the way through Nanshuozhou, Rongzhou, Jianzhou, Huaizhou...... Yuzhou is the border of Guangzhou, the southwest corner of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

To the west of it, the territory of the Zhou State is like a foot in the horizontal, Huaizhou, Shunzhou, Huzhou, Suizhou, Anzhou, this land connected by ranks, blocking the road from Northern Qi to Jiangling......

The princes of Jinyang are still in the process of purging the court of ice and fire, and what unfolds in front of Murong Yan, the assassin of Gwangju, is already a spring of harmony......

On February 1, the second year of Wuping in the Northern Qi Dynasty, near the left of Gwangju, the county soldiers' camp, the ridges and mountains, the sound of people neighing and shouting, this is a new army that has been newly pulled up, Murong Yan put them into the army in fact, it has only been so much time, and the morale of the military has been refined.

The original low military walled wall has long been high, in this area, the materials are very abundant, Murong Yan put the people's livelihood plan on hold, and fully devoted himself to the construction of the army, the original walled wall mixed with soil, has now been built up with newly mined stones, the outer layer has not been polished, and the sharp stone stubble, trenches, fences, everything is not lacking, deep and wide, far away from the river, the terrain is dangerous......

The trench is more than one zhang deep and two zhang wide, and there are sharp wooden stakes buried underneath, and if you fall down, you will die!

And such projects abound in the suburbs of Gwangju, and it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to build these camps, thanks to the "work for relief" policy issued by the imperial court last year, everyone from the center of the imperial court to the local government office has tightened their belts, and finally successfully survived this pass. For Murong Yan, the most important thing is that the infrastructure construction of some important border areas has been gradually completed under the influence of this policy......

In Huaibei, Hebei, Shandong, nearly one million hungry people...... Maybe millions are not necessarily, the imperial court sent important ministers to the local supervision, disperse the disaster victims, and send them to various places, Murong Yan felt that this was an opportunity at that time, he had long been interested in improving the defense of the southwestern border of Daqi and strengthening the military strength of the borderlands, but Guangzhou is a small place, with a small population and taxes, if it can attract some of the strong men of the disaster victims, it will undoubtedly be a big help, and besides, it will not cost much, as long as the disaster victims can be fed, it will be almost fine, great, according to the county soldiers' three months of money to reward it. So Murong Yan went to the imperial court, and after obtaining approval, he quickly carried out the construction.

His Majesty praised him for his courage in the official document, "This is what a party leader should look like, the court can't take care of it, you should bring it up, this is a troubled time, you can't learn from Huang Lao's inaction, not only the court, local officials, should also set an example!" Then he copied the content of his recital and sent it to various places, with Murong Yan taking the lead, Nansizhou, Hengzhou, Bazhou, and Luozhou all began to rest their armaments and camps, which made the opposite Zhou State nervous for a while, and now it has begun to take shape......

Murong Yan was very emotional, in fact, after carefully combing through, you will find that Your Majesty is really scheming, step by step, link by link, every link is not superfluous, as far as this matter is concerned, this set of methods is effective, not only to avoid the disaster and civil chaos, but also to strengthen the local defense, water conservancy construction, the southwest border is just a small fight, the focus is on the construction of Huainan military towns, Fenzhou military tun, all of which are large-scale, all of which reveal the ambition of today's hegemony in the world.

Murong Yan is a military minister, he only values the military, he doesn't care about anything else, through the Di Bao, in the past year, he has seen a lot of signs.

In Youyan, His Majesty relied on Gao Baoning, controlled the three states, and restrained the Khitan and the Yan to prevent chaos; In Jianghuai, His Majesty relieved the head of the army and reused Lu Qian and Pi Jinghe to clamp down on the Southern Dynasties; In Fenzhou and Hedong, Hu Luguang and Gao Changgong each herded and guarded one side, built military towns, galloped roads, drilled soldiers and horses, and recuperated to wait for the time......

And the southwest is a little not embarrassed, itself pseudo-Zhou in his own southeast border military strength is in a weak position, no one values these places for the time being, but Murong Yan feels that this statement is very wrong, if the Zhou State and the Great Qi break out in the future, the southwest border is definitely one of the important factors that can influence the general trend of the world, the threat here Jingxiang is an important link between the north and the south, how can you not pay attention to it?

Murong Yan even put on a book to talk about the development strategy of Daqi in the next five years, but he keenly found that His Majesty's attitude towards this matter was a little strange, as if he was still hesitating, and approved his idea of plotting to seize Jingxiang, but there were some different views......

Murong Yan was puzzled, and in the end he couldn't be considered entangled, he was in Gwangju, even if he could put forward opinions, but after all, he could not represent the central government's decision-making. Until yesterday, the angels of the imperial court came and read out the emperor's edict, crowned him as Situ, and entered the court to lead the power of the left minister.

This, suddenly, made his old heart burn again......

A few days ago, I heard the rumors of Hu Luguang's resignation, but he never thought that one day he could enter the central auxiliary government and influence national decision-making in a real sense!

The cool breeze came from the south, and the guards on the wall were the county soldiers in disorganized clothes, the armor was not complete, and the equipment was messy, but the ability to gather so many strong men represented the strong force in the local area, which was the foundation of the assassins' shepherds on behalf of the Son of Heaven.

Military discipline is not very strict, but it already has the appearance of a strong army...... But that's not enough.

After he left, Gao Changgong, the deputy governor of Zhengxi, sent a large army to take over the defense of the southwestern states, and the prime minister was military. The barracks of the army under Gao Changgong are outside Gwangju, although there are only four or five hundred people, but there are a total of twenty or thirty officers who command them, they are restrained at all levels, supervise each other, and their mental outlook is completely different from what Murong Yan has seen before, just by a glance, Murong Yan can estimate how far the combat power of this army has reached, and there are many people in the world who can be stronger than them, but I am afraid that there will not be many.

It is said that this army was transferred by the Yecheng Forbidden Army......

Yecheng ...... Yecheng ......

He stayed in Gwangju and didn't know what had happened to the imperial court thousands of miles away.

He looked north in a daze, the sky was high and the clouds were wide, and the terrible north wind could not freeze the ambition hidden in his chest.

The Gwangju officials lined up far away on both sides of the road, and Murong Yan stepped forward and placed the seal ribbon on the lacquer plate held high by the subordinate officials.

Everyone worshipped, "Congratulations to Murong Thorn History!" ”

Murong Yan greeted a few words and turned to leave, looking a little absent-minded.

There is no reluctance, and there is no spring breeze after the top.

At this time, what his mind was circling was no longer where to go to retire and send him to his death, and how much shade his descendants could get after death...... A good man is determined to help the world!

He never looked back again.

…………

Just after the hour, the sky was just dawning, Wan'er's body hiding in the quilt moved slightly, and Gao Wei, who was sleeping next to her, immediately opened her eyes.

"It's okay, it's still early, you go back to sleep......"

She sat up and stepped on her shoes, a hand on his forehead.

"I've slept full......"

Wan'er looked at him, leaned her head into the crook of his arm, and poked him lightly with her fingers, "Liar, you haven't closed your eyes all night." ”

"How do you know?"

"I can hear your breathing, and I know you're not asleep, what are you thinking?"

Gao Wei pulled up a smile and rubbed her hair, "It's nothing, I've had enough of playing in the Hunting Palace, and I've slept enough, but I don't want to sleep when I come back here......"

And she just looked at him quietly, Gao Wei said: "I'm thinking about something, it's a little measured, I have to take care of it myself, think about it, it's dawn." ”

She leaned over and hugged Gao Wei's head, nodded the tip of her nose on his forehead affectionately, pretended to be angry, and said, "Could it be that you are not as interested in me as those boring plays?" …… You're so tired, it's time to shout about a headache in a few days. ”

Gao Wei grabbed his wife's hand, held her down, and said, "I'm fine, I'm really fine, look at me, isn't it okay now?" ”

Her eyes were red and red, and she was reluctant to scold him, and finally, glaring at him with disgust, she writhed in her arms, "Oops, let me get up." ”

"What's so in a hurry?"

Wan'er washed up briefly, "Today is the second day of February, and it's been five days since the sting......"

"Oh."

"Ah Wei, you look up."

"Huh?"

"February 2, the dragon raised his head, the emperor is the true dragon emperor, it's time for you to look up......"

Cushman turned over lazily, really raised his head, and stared at his wife with interest.

Empress Hulu stared at the emperor's thin face, her heart was full of sourness, she stretched out her hand to support his face, neither of them spoke, for a long time, Gao Wei felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, coughed twice, and said: "Don't touch my face all the time, you let me get up......, I plan to go out of the palace in Weifu and take you with me, you have never been out of the palace, right?" ”

A tear slipped down unexpectedly,

It made Cushman and Wakefield a little panicked.

"You've lost a lot of weight...... she looked down and wiped her tears, "I know you don't like to hear this, it's just, I just hope you don't get too happy......"

Cushman & Wakefield hugged her with a hippie smile and deliberately teased:

"I'm not called thin, this is called lean, will I use the words you? Isn't I getting more and more aggressive, huh? ”

After all, after such a long relationship, how could Wan'er not understand him?

Sure enough, he wiped away his tears, blushed, and spitted: "Phew, nasty ......!" ”

The snow has melted.
