Throughout the sixteenth year of Cheng'an, Yu was in a state of recuperation.

First of all, the localities focused on farming, and several officials sent by the Ministry of Industry ran two laps of thin legs, and finally got back the water and soil data with higher precision and more reference value, and the court began to ponder how to repair water conservancy and spread farm fertilizer technology, so as to continue to increase production.

At the same time, Qiu Yu was farming on the old Shaanxi Road and running a trade route to the Western Regions.

In Qiu Yu's opinion, opening a trade route is the best way to express friendship and exchange ideas, and he is also the best at this, Yingying handed over this place to him, and he must govern it in peace and prosperity, so as to be worthy of his king.

As everyone knows, Qin Zhanying handed over Lao Shaanxi to him to govern, and let him lead the army, this kind of trust to the extreme, has made everyone sure that Laishui County is the first important minister under the prince's throne.

They didn't know that Qin Zhanying even planned to build his mausoleum in Taihang Mountain, where Laishui County, Qiu Yu's fiefdom, was next to the Taihang Mountains.

This means that as long as Qiu Yu does not make big mistakes in the future, Qin Zhanying will protect him from life to death.

Yan Hongqin and Qiu Yu cooperated happily, as Qiu Yu said, if he was saved, the prince would maintain a gentle and rational attitude towards Lao Shaanxi Dao and the Western Regions, and it was obviously much better for Qiu Yu to govern Lao Shaanxi Dao than for the prince to come personally...... The prince killed too many people in Shanludao.

Sect Leader Yan still remembered the words Qin Zhanying had said to him before leaving.

"Thank you for saving Qiu Yu, master."

At that time, Yan Hongqin shuddered: "What are you going to do?" Let's talk about it first, even if you recognize me as a master, it will not be so easy to recover the Western Regions. ”

Qin Zhanying said indifferently: "Sooner or later, it will be mine, isn't it good to bleed less?" ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made no secret of his ambitions for the Western Regions, Yan Hongqin naturally couldn't give it to his apprentice if he wanted him, after all, Qin Zhanying didn't have any blood from the Western Regions, if he wanted to take the Western Regions, who would obey it?

So the master and apprentice fought, and the outcome was unknown, but when Qin Zhanying left, there were many more sergeants from the Western Regions in the team.

Someone was subdued, but Yan Hongqin didn't say who it was, he just hung his discounted arm, and angrily scolded the Lu family's strange power for being unreasonable.

In the second half of the sixteenth year of Cheng'an, Bagu, who had not made friends in the military camp, raised a small flag, and he integrated into his new life and was very satisfied with his current situation.

In these days, together with his companions, he took the Mon captives and taught them how to adapt to their new life, how to work, and how to read and write, and the prince allowed them to go to places close to the border, exchange some salt, sugar, and grain with the people of the Northern Meng, and then exchange information for return.

Bagu is a bold man, and after reporting to Shangguan, he personally led people into the territory of Northern Meng, and the Shangguan who managed this elite barracks that mixed the people of the Western Regions and the Meng people attached great importance to the information he got back, and rewarded him twice.

The Mengs in the army communicated in private: "The new Great Khan kept his promise and would not treat his people badly. ”

It is not easy to gather new people, and it takes a lot of energy to invest manpower and material resources, as well as to settle and regulate policies.

After Qin Zhanying returned to Dajing, he has been busy with government affairs, standing in the power center of Yu State, he sorted out and coordinated all parties, and tried his best to digest the two new lands of Shanlu Road and Lao Shaanxi Road, until the autumn harvest was about to come, he slowed down.

The rabbit is really going to be bad this time.

As a thin dog, the rabbit came to Qin Zhanying's side when he was very young and grew up with him, and the dog watched the little master change from a soft and petite child to a tall man with his own eyes.

Now, the dog is leaving.

Qin Zhanying returned to the Chenqing Palace to work after leaving the court, and the old kennel took a nap in the soft kennel not far away.

This kind of old pet should be kept in the cat and dog room, and should not show up in front of the master, after all, if the pet dies in front of the master, it will make the master sad and unlucky.

But Qin Zhanying is the same temperament, he stopped everyone from carrying the rabbit away, and moved the rabbit's kennel to his bedroom.

He crouched next to the kennel, gently stroked the rabbit, pinched his soft and hot ears, and the rabbit opened its eyes and exhaled from its throat.

Qin Zhanying: "It's summer now, after this summer, and then through the winter, another year has passed." ”

The rabbit looked at the owner with moist eyes, and gently licked Qin Zhanying's fingers, Qin Zhanying lowered her eyes and said gently: "Rabbit, is it okay to keep it this year?" You stay with me, I take care of you, and if you go and lie in the cold underground, there will be nothing, no porridge cooked in bone broth, and no quilt cover. ”

Dogs can understand human nature after staying with people for a long time, when Qin Zhanying gives instructions, rabbits can understand, and now he also hopes that his dog can understand the words he retains.

The rabbit didn't know if he understood, but he staggered up, put on the shoulder strap that Qiu Yu helped make, and was carried by Qin Zhanying to take him for a walk in the garden.

When he was young, this pure white dog was a beautiful beast like a fairy, his limbs had long flowing hair, and he ran like a cloud with four legs, and it was really like a roaring dog descending into the world.

Now the hair on the rabbit is not as much as before, and the coat color is also dull, but Qin Zhanying does not dislike the rabbit at all, even if the rabbit is not beautiful, it is also his dog.

It's a pity that everything has an end, and this is not something that human beings can disobey.

The rabbit did not survive this year's autumn harvest season, on a certain day, Qin Zhanying finished ordering the grain stored this year, let the household department collect the accounts, and ordered the Ministry of Engineering to repair the new granary, and returned to Chenqing Palace after a busy day, he handed the Chinese book to Zhu Dawu, squatted next to the kennel to touch the rabbit, and found that he would always look up and see his dog lying on his side, no longer breathing.

The rabbit walked quietly, as if asleep, and the eunuchs and palace maids did not notice that the rabbit had left this world.

Qin Zhanying was stunned, hugged the kennel with the dog, and said calmly to Zhu Dawu: "Go to the back garden and bury the rabbit." ”

Zhu Dawu hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Highness, can you erect a monument and find some people to cry for Young Master Rabbit?" ”

"No, just bury it," Qin Zhanying walked out with the rabbit in her arms, and said with a chuckle, "Zhu Dawu, I saw a landlord when I was in Shanludao, after the cattle and horses at home died, he insisted that the tenants go to cry for his dogs, to hold a big funeral, to scatter paper money for the dogs, and to ask the tenants to give white envelopes, in fact, this."

These are unnecessary things, humiliating the living, and making the pet uneasy. ”

"I'm the owner of the rabbit, I'll settle him."

The prince himself dug a pit for the rabbit and buried it along with the kennel.

He didn't show grief, but he did it himself, and he didn't fake it.

The cat and dog room below quickly sent someone to ask the prince: "The master wants to raise a kitten and a puppy, and he has a new litter of fine dogs, which is good for breeding, pure white!" ”

Qin Zhanying fed meat strips to Haster Eagle Ruyi without raising her head: "No need, dog, it's okay to raise one." ”

The eunuch who came over to ask nodded and racked his brains: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really affectionate, and the little ones are presumptuous." ”

Qin Zhanying stopped and turned around: "No, you are doing your best, you are very happy, and you will be like this in the future, if you have anything, take the initiative to ask." ”

The fact that the prince lost his dog is not big, but it is not small, Qin Zhanying did not publicize it, and when he went to the court the day after burying the rabbit, his face was as usual.

He has too many things, he has no time to grieve, there was another earthquake in Bashu this year, Qin Zhanying has to appease the people there and let people preside over the reconstruction.

Only when Lu Xiaoxuan received the letter sent by Qin Zhanying to Zeguo, she knew that her son should be really sad in her heart.

She sighed lightly and said to Mu Yue: "In the early years, my father wanted to coax Yingying home, and he deceived him with the rabbit's poor health, but he was really deceived back, they grew up together since childhood, just like friends, and now Yingying must be sad, and said that she doesn't want to raise a dog in the future." ”

Mu Yue knocked on the melon seeds: "The longer people live, the more separation they will face, but as long as it is a parting, there will be a time for reunion." ”

She smiled and said: "Girl, hurry up and give the account book to your mother and me, Qiongya Island has received a lot of grain this year, just so that we can go further south, what kind of Australia you are talking about, I will have to touch it sooner or later." ”

Lu Xiaoxuan: "Mother, can't you go north?" By the way, help me deal with the affairs of Kyushu and Shikoku. ”

Mu Yue: "What's there to do there?" It's still good to be in the south, it's warm! ”

Lu Xiaoxuan muttered: "But grandpa is also going to the south, you are all rushing to the south, and I am alone in the north." ”

I don't know where Lu Kong has gone now, and whether he has found the news of his compatriot brother.

Lu Xiaoxuan and Mu Yue were chatting about Lu Kong, and someone from the palace rushed over to report.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, there is news from the Luo family."

Luojia has been guarding Yunnan Road for many years, and has been guarding against South Vietnam, some people may wonder what those South Vietnamese people are so powerful, but in fact, now, those fierce natives who can pass through the mountains and forests, and hide through the jungle are really difficult to deal with, and the miasma in the jungle is only known to casual people here How to effectively prevent it.

And now in charge of South Vietnam, the You family is the descendant of the Han generals who passed in the early years, and it has been estranged from the Central Plains for nearly two hundred years, and its ambition is huge, calling the emperor in South Vietnam, and saying that the ancestral land is in Liangguang, and wants to annex the coastal Guangdong East Road and Guangdong West Road, which can be described as a wolf ambition, but has been stopped by the Luo family, and does not dare to provoke the Lu family, a tyrant in the South China Sea.

Before, Yu Guo Zeguo's attitude towards South Vietnam was actually not bad, after all, everyone was worried about expanding the territory first, and they couldn't take care of South Vietnam, as long as South Vietnam didn't die by itself, and honestly paid tribute, the bigwigs on both sides didn't care about South Vietnam.

In fact, the two countries still like to buy grain from South Vietnam, after all, Zeyu has salt, sugar, cloth, tea, porcelain and other goods, and there is a trade surplus when trading with South Vietnam, so everyone has also opened a mutual market to do business in recent years.

Who knows that this year, the king of Nanyue seems to think that the war between Yu and Northern Meng, it will inevitably lose troops, and the Bashu earthquake, Yu country wants disaster relief, it must also be an empty treasury, and the Lu family is busy swallowing the two big islands of Dongying Kyushu and Shiguo, and the troops are not concentrated in the South China Sea, so they will seize this opportunity to gather troops to attack it.

They even robbed the goods in the mutual market between Yu and Ze in the border between the two countries, slaughtered the Han people there, and robbed a large number of women and children.

All parties who learned the news fell silent.

Lu Xiaoxuan: "Does Zeguo look empty?" Didn't I just beat the Japanese and the foreign fleet to their knees and call my aunt? ”

Yu Guojun and Minister: "We beat Beimeng into that ghost this year, it is the strongest time since the founding of the country, why did South Vietnam come to stir up trouble?" ”

How dare that idiot!

When the news reached Yu, Qiu Yu also heard about it as one of the mountains of the current Yu army.

General Qiu couldn't help but chant a poem: "Ah Yu toasted and he didn't drink it, and Ah Ze picked up vegetables and he turned the table, what is the serious brain disease?" ”

Speaking of which, Yu Wuzong in history was also because the king of Nanyue suddenly made a commotion, and he wanted to clean up the southern clan before he deliberately recruited in person, but accidentally died of illness on the road, and the emperor of Nanyue at that time was the one who is doing things now.

Qiu Yu: Mom, it's so angry to think about it! That brain-dead jumped so much in the history books, and he actually let him get out of Yingying's hands, and finally even died!

When Qin Zhanying knew the news, he was distributing disaster relief food in Bashu, and he also specially invited Xue Zhang's borrowing.

Originally, the prince had just lost his dog, and he hit the earth dragon and turned over, it was when he was in a bad mood, Nanyue did this again, Qin Zhanying immediately felt that the king of Nanyue was looking for death!

Thinking that his grandfather and mother had said that South Vietnam was very vegetable, and he only relied on the convenient terrain of mountains and forests to survive, and those soldiers on the northern front could not move easily, and Emperor Cheng'an had not been in good health since the conquest, so Qin Zhanying quickly made up his mind.

Yu Ze and the two countries each sent 10,000 people, and followed him to Yunnan Province to support the Luo family!

It just so happens that the autumn harvest is only over now, and Yuze has enough grain, and Ze can still directly transport grain to the sea, which is the state of having spare strength to start a war.

At this juncture, South Vietnam engaged in something to attract most of Yu Ze's hatred value, and also greatly reduced the pressure on Dongying and Northern Meng, so that the people of the two countries who were in their right minds and knew Yu Ze's combat effectiveness were sincerely grateful.

What kind of back-the-pot spirit does this Nanyue King have!

Anyway, regardless of whether Yu wants to kill Beimeng or Ze wants to swallow Dongying, the two countries have the same tacit understanding this year - they will carry South Vietnam away together first!

In short, Qin Zhanying went straight to Yunnan Road with soldiers, horses, grain and grass. ：，n..，.
