Chapter 231: Wanyan Zongyi is open-minded
After hearing this, Zhao Yingluo's heart relaxed a lot.
She knew that Yan Yan was relieving herself, so she followed the other party's words and said, "Oh? It turns out that Miss Wanyan is going to find your brother. That's right, we're going back to Kaifeng, so let's go on the road together. As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to Wan Yanyan and motioned for the other party to walk with her.
Wan Yanyan looked at Zhao Yingluo's outstretched hand, and her heart was filled with excitement and joy.
She knew that her decision was not wrong, and the handsome and dashing son in front of her was the lover in her heart.
So she didn't hesitate to shake Zhao Yingluo's hand and planned to embark on a journey to Kaifeng with her.
After seeing that Yan Yan decided to follow her back to Kaifeng, Zhao Yingluo was overjoyed and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
"Miss Wanyan, since you have decided to follow me back to Kaifeng, let's stay in the mansion first. I'll take you back when I'm done with business. ”
Her voice was gentle and kind, as if a spring breeze was blowing through Yan Yan's heart.
When Wan Yanyan heard this, she was naturally very happy in her heart.
She hurriedly nodded and agreed, "Okay!" It's all up to you. Her face was filled with a happy smile, as if she had seen the beautiful scene of her life with Zhao Yingluo.
After settling Yan Yan, Zhao Yingluo began her busy official business.
Together with Yue Fei, she arranged the defense of Xingzhou City to ensure the safety of the city.
Now the total number of soldiers and horses in Xingzhou City has exceeded 300,000, which is a huge army that requires careful planning and arrangement.
Yue Fei told Zhao Yingluo that there was no need to worry about food.
Because of the cultivation and promotion of high-yield crops, the farmland around Xingzhou City was harvested abundantly, and the collected tenant rent was enough to feed the 300,000 army.
However, the consumption of artillery and guns turned out to be a headache.
Yue Fei implored Zhao Yingluo to allocate some more artillery and guns for the training of new soldiers. He explained: "The power of artillery and guns is enormous, and it is essential to increase the combat effectiveness of our army. However, due to the huge cost of training recruits, there are now less than 5,000 artillery pieces and only 20,000 guns. ”
Zhao Yingluo frowned slightly after hearing this, and after pondering for a moment, she said, "General Yue, you can rest assured that you can train recruits. I'll find a way to solve the problem of artillery and guns. Before New Year's Day, I will ask Wen Boyuan to escort another batch to Xingzhou. ”
When Yue Fei heard Zhao Yingluo's promise, he was overjoyed.
If a batch of artillery guns is escorted to the city, the defense of Xingzhou City will definitely be stronger.
"Thank you, Your Highness Princess! The last general will certainly live up to expectations and train the recruits well to prepare them for future battles. ”
Zhao Yingluo nodded with satisfaction, "If you want to take the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun in the future, your men and horses will definitely be the main force." Wang Zaixing on the West Road and Zhang Jun on the East Road can only play a counterpoint role. Once the Song and Kim went to war again, it was time to decide the fortunes of the country. I ask you to win only that! ”
When Yue Fei heard Zhao Yingluo's words, his heart was boiling, this was a war related to the fortunes of the country, and he was shouldering an important mission.
"Your Royal Highness the Princess, rest assured! If the Song-Jin War breaks out in the future, if I, Yue Fei, can't take Yanjing, I am willing to give Xiang Shang's head! ”
Zhao Yingluo was very satisfied with Yue Fei's attitude, he was a loyal and reliable general who could fight well, and with him in Xingzhou City, he could handle other affairs with peace of mind.
She smiled and said to Yue Fei, "Okay! With General Yue's words, I am relieved. I am sure that you will be able to lead our army to victory! ”
After arranging everything in Xingzhou, Zhao Yingluo decided to set off for Kaifeng.
She asked Jiang Laosi to arrange the itinerary properly to ensure a safe journey.
After several days of turbulence, Zhao Yingluo and his party finally arrived at the bustling Kaifeng City.
At this time, Kaifeng City was in winter, the cold wind was cold, and the pedestrians on the street were wrapped in their robes and hurried away.
However, this did not affect the prosperity and liveliness of Kaifeng City, and the streets and alleys were still full of people and lively.
Back at the house, Zhao Yingluo first asked Wan Yanyan to stay in her house for one night.
She specially arranged a comfortable room for Wan Yanyan and ordered someone to prepare a sumptuous dinner.
Wan Yanyan spent a warm and pleasant night in Zhao Yingluo's house.
Early in the morning of the second day, Zhao Yingluo personally sent Wanyan Yan to Wanyan Zongyi's mansion.
Different from other mansions, Wanyan Zongyi's mansion is not large, but it is unique.
In addition to the houses, there are small fields scattered throughout the courtyard.
Because of the winter, most of the fields are empty, and only about a third of the fields are planted with wheat and rape.
At this time, the rape has only grown two or three leaves close to the ground, adding a little green to the lifeless winter day.
Wanyan Zongyi was loosening the soil in the rape field with a hoe, he was wearing a green coat and a hat on his head, looking like a farmer. He worked so hard that he didn't notice anyone in the house.
Until I heard Zhao Yingluo's voice and said, "Brother Wanyan, don't come to harm?" He raised his head and found Zhao Yingluo standing at the edge of the field.
At this time, Zhao Yingluo was dressed as a man, wearing a green shirt, wearing a scarf, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, handsome and extraordinary.
She stood on the edge of the field, smiling at Wanyan Zongyi, her eyes flashing with friendliness.
Seeing this, Wanyan Zongyi was just about to bow down, but was stopped by Zhao Yingluo.
Zhao Yingluo told him not to let Wan Yanyan know about her disguise as a man, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Wanyan Zongyi nodded, indicating that he understood. He asked Zhao Yingluo curiously: "Why did Her Royal Highness the princess have time to come to see me, a golden man in exile, today?" ”
Zhao Yingluo smiled and pointed to the outside of the mansion, and then ordered someone to invite Wan Yanyan in, "Let's see who is here?" ”
When Yan Zongyi saw Yan Yan, he was surprised and delighted, he walked forward quickly and asked, "Yan'er, why did you come to Kaifeng?" ”
Wan Yan Yan saw Wan Yan Zongyi, and her heart was also excited. She told Yan Zongyi that she had escaped marriage and came to Kaifeng to join him. After saying this, her eyes couldn't help but moisten a little.
Seeing this, Wanyan Zongyi was moved in his heart, he stretched out his hand and gently patted Yan Yan's shoulder, and comforted: "Yan'er, don't be afraid. With my brother here, I will definitely protect you. ”
Zhao Yingluo also stepped forward and said to Wanyan Yanyan: "Wanyan girl, since you have arrived in Kaifeng, you can stay in peace." Brother Wanyan will definitely take good care of you. ”
Wan Yanyan heard Zhao Yingluo's words, and her heart was full of gratitude. She knew that she was able to escape the marriage and come to Kaifeng this time, thanks to Zhao Yingluo's help.
She looked at Zhao Yingluo, and the warmth in her eyes couldn't be hidden, "Thank you, Zhao Gongzi." I will definitely remember your kindness. ”
Zhao Yingluo did not stay much in Wanyan Zongyi's mansion, so as not to disturb the reminiscence of their brother and sister.
Wanyan Yan and Wanyan Zongyi have been separated for a long time, and there must be a lot to say and a lot to tell at this time.
So, she said goodbye with interest, although Wanyan Zongyi and Wanyan retained, Zhao Yingluo had already made up her mind, and the two had to give up.
