This is a proper slap in the face. Imperial Officer Luo stopped howling, and suddenly felt that this time he was afraid that he was going to really get cold.

After the two imperial doctors "helped" Jiang Wenyuan away, Jing Yan immediately changed his face: "Luo Yang, what should I be guilty of insulting the queen?" ”

Luo Yuguan knelt on the ground with weak knees and said: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, she is arrogant, and it is useless for a woman to study in the Jiangshan Society of Great Xia!"

The minister's loyal words are contrary to his ears, even if His Majesty is not used to hearing it, but it is a matter of the national system, how can he be fooled around by his mother. ”

Jing Yan almost made him laugh angrily: "You say this is nonsense?

You don't mess around, tell me that you have been an official for so many years, but you have done too much to contribute to the Great Xia Jiangshan Society.

As a royal official, he performs the duty of supervising hundreds of officials, but he goes to the land of fireworks to have fun.

Standing so upright, and having the face to criticize the queen, where did you get the courage and face?

Don't care about it, the old man who shouldn't be in charge, such a corpse vegetarian meal, you don't have to be an official, and go back to your hometown to farm! ”

Luo Yang was paralyzed to the ground when he heard this, and he couldn't remember how he got out of the imperial study.

He only knows that from now on, he will only be a commoner.

The struggles and efforts of the past few decades have all come to naught, how did I end up where I am today?

In the final analysis, I still can't see the situation clearly, and I think very highly of myself.

Jing Yan dealt with this matter resolutely, and it didn't stir up the slightest wave.

When Xiao Xiao's north wind blew through the majestic sword tower, the beast head on the roof was also covered with snowflakes.

The days when the dripping water becomes ice are only suitable for the winter of the hearth, but it seems that there is never a peaceful time in this world.

News came from the northwest border pass that a camel worker who walked the Silk Road desperately sent the news back to Great Xia from the far Western Regions.

Their caravan went to the far west, and when they passed through the country of Yuzi on the way back, there was a civil strife in the country of Yuzi and it was divided into three.

The two caravans of Great Xia, totaling more than 1,100 people, were detained in the divided Dayuzi for nearly a year, the goods were swallowed, and everyone was captured to work as coolies to build the city wall.

Jing Yan immediately sent envoys and sent a note to Yuzi Guo, asking them to release him.

However, until the New Year, in February, more than three months passed, and Yuziguo not only did not have any intention of releasing people.

Instead, he even detained the envoys of Great Xia, and threatened to release them unless the emperor of Great Xia personally came to negotiate with them.

This operation can't be said to be exactly the same as the original Tubo, at least it's like nine out of nine, which is simply hitting the face of Great Xia.

The two caravans, plus more than a dozen envoys who went later, were afraid that there would be only a few people left when they went late.

Jing Yan convened the courtiers to discuss for a few days, and the ministers were roughly divided into two factions.

The lord and faction were mainly Wenchen, saying that for the sake of two caravans, it was not worth sending troops so far away.

Besides, it was a pipe dream and a whimsical idea for the emperor of the Heavenly Empire to negotiate with them in person.

The main battle faction is a military general, saying that even if there are only 1,000 people, they are the people of Great Xia, and there is no reason to let them be bullied by small countries.

Moreover, it is not impossible for His Majesty to go in person. When the time comes, they will be beaten to the ground, in order to show the power of my Great Xia.

By the way, we will deter small Western countries to ensure that the Silk Road is unblocked.

After arguing like this for several days, no one could convince anyone.

After the next dynasty, Jing Yan talked to Jiang Yuqing about this matter. Jiang Yuqing said: "Those who offend me in the summer will be punished even if they are far away!" Therefore, people naturally have to be saved, and they must be beaten.

But how to fight, after the fight, how to continue this Silk Road smoothly, still need to be carefully considered.

Just like the Lord and the faction said, for the sake of so many people, it is indeed not cost-effective to send a large army and travel thousands of miles, and spend countless manpower and material resources.

Perhaps, the only way is for one of the husband and wife to lead a small team of elite soldiers to attack the country of Yuzi and win the greatest victory at the lowest cost.

Originally, Jing Yan was the best candidate, but the Emperor Taishang was unwilling to manage the government on his behalf.

He roared: "Lao Tzu is the emperor, the emperor!" You are the Emperor.

Don't always want to assign me the work to do, let me act for you every day.

So what position do I abdicate, don't I abdicate just to ask for a leisure? Do your own thing! ”

He then whispered, "Of course, if I were to bring you my eldest grandson and twins, I would be willing." ”

Jing Yan seriously doubted that the latter sentence was his main purpose.

It is already the end of February, and in more than half a month, the envoys of the thirteen countries or tribes of Nanyang will enter Beijing to pay tribute, and Jing Yan, as the emperor, must be present.

And the closest army to the Yuzi country was the garrison of the Qabu Salt Lake.

Even if he flew directly to the Chabu Salt Lake, and then mobilized the garrison from the local area to Yuzi, it would take at least a month.

There is no time to rush back and forth, or only Jiang Yuqing can come forward to solve this matter.

Therefore, when Jing Yan announced in the court that the queen would lead the troops to Yuzi Kingdom, the officials only whispered a few words, and they did not see how to object, and even felt relieved.

Perhaps in their hearts, they have already guessed this answer.

Moreover, they agree with it in their hearts.

Although the queen is a woman, she is known as the "little god of war" in the army, brave and strategic, and extremely smart.

Over the years, he has fought with the army in all directions and has made many meritorious achievements.

Besides, she is the queen of the main palace of Great Xia, Her Majesty's heart is sharp, and the biological mother of the three princes and princesses, her identity is enough.

Therefore, no one objected, only Jiang Wenyuan and Jiang Yuchuan, father and son, were worried, worried about their daughter and sister, but there was nothing they could do.

Because I am going to war, the future is unknown, so it is naturally not good to take my children with me.

Fortunately, the twins are nearly half a year old, very healthy, and have begun to add complementary foods.

Even if she leaves for a few days, she will not be wronged if she has a nurse there.

It's just that the thought of such a young child leaving her mother is so cruel, so she is always extremely sad and guilty.

She may be a good queen and a good wife, but she is not a good mother.

It used to be the same for Yiyi, and now it's the twins' turn. Her life always seemed to be full of partings.

Although Yuzi is not a small country, it is sparsely populated, and now it is divided into three by civil strife, each of which is still hostile to each other, so the forces between the various ministries are not strong.

The Great Xia army is well-trained and well-equipped, and it is enough to bring a thousand people, and there is no need to worry about the problem of food and grass.

The various materials and food in her spiritual realm are enough for the people of Great Xia to eat for a year, which is more than the food reserves of the whole country of Great Xia. This is her confidence.

In early March, Jiang Yuqing once again fed the twins and put them to sleep.

After kissing the three children one by one, she gave her husband a lingering kiss.

Then, in the early morning light, it flew into the sky, turned into a ray of light, and quickly disappeared into the western sky.

Jiang Yuqing asked Bai Xiaoshi to fly at the fastest speed, and it only took half a day to fly to the garrison of Chabu Salt Lake.

Now the total number of troops stationed here in Great Xia is 3,000 people, and the leader is Qin Ba.

Qin Ba is the eldest grandson of General Qin, the nephew of Empress Taishang, and the son of the eldest brother of Qin Jue, Marquis of Pingyang.

Qin Jue's elder brother was originally the son of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, but his elder brother was not in good health and would die in his early twenties.

His sister-in-law did not give birth, and Qin Ba was born to a concubine.

Therefore, after the death of Qin Jue's brother, General Qin Lao set up his second son Qin Jue as his son in accordance with the clan etiquette.

Although Qin Ba was born to a concubine, he inherited the good martial arts of General Qin, so he was valued by General Qin and Qin Jue.

After joining the army at the age of fifteen, he has made many military exploits, and now he has also achieved the position of Sipin General.

As early as two days ago, Qin Ba received a flying pigeon message from the capital, asking him to find a translator who was proficient in Yuzi Chinese, order a thousand elite cavalry, and wait for the empress to come and meet him.

Go to the country of Yuzi to rescue the caravans and envoys who were detained in Great Xia.

Qin Ba was ready from the moment he received the order.

He knew that the queen had learned the secret art of mastering the heavens, and even if she didn't use horses, she could travel thousands of miles a day.

Sure enough, only two days later, I waited for the queen.

Jiang Yuqing only rested in the garrison camp of Chabu Salt Lake for one night, and the next morning, he led a thousand cavalry and went straight to Yuzi country.

They crossed the vast Gobi and desert, crossed the Mir Plateau, lasted one month and three days, and finally reached the country of Yuzi.

According to the existing land area, Yuzi country is divided into big Yuzi in the west, middle Yuzi in the northeast, and small Yuzi in the southeast.

Jiang Yuqing and the others planned to pass through the small Yuzi in the southeast and enter the big Yuzi in the west.

There are three Yuzi kings in the large, medium and small, and the big Yuzi king is the general who was originally the Yuzi country.

After the death of King Lao Yuzi, he staged a mutiny, killed the crown prince who succeeded him, and pushed the prince he supported to the throne.

Not long after, he killed the king again and sat on the throne of the king himself.

It is precisely because of this that he thinks very highly of himself and does not take Daxia in his eyes.

King Zhongyuzi is the most important minister of the old king, right-hand man, and his power is equivalent to the six Shangshu and prime ministers of Great Xia.

The old king and his son were killed one after another, and the general rebelled, so he simply did not stop doing anything, and also led his group of supporters to grab the territory and establish himself as king.

Xiao Yuzi is the only one who can have anything to do with the old king, because Queen Xiao Yuzi is the daughter of the old king and a princess.

She saw that two outsiders killed her brother and robbed her own country, so she hated them to the core.

As soon as he was heartbroken, he supported his husband to grab the land together and established today's Xiaoyuzi.

Therefore, when Da Xia's army entered to find trouble with Da Yuzi, she and her husband were not only not afraid, but opened the door to convenience.

In order to borrow the hand of Great Xia, get rid of the king of Da Yuzi and regain the land that originally belonged to her.

Jiang Yuqing had done detailed homework before he came, so he naturally knew Xiao Yuzi's plans.

Jiang Yuqing didn't care about their purpose, as long as they didn't make trouble for themselves.

Otherwise, it annoys her, so she will clean it up.

Therefore, when the well-equipped and dusty Great Xia Iron Cavalry appeared under the base of the city wall of Da Yuzi.

The defenders of Da Yuzi almost out.

They never dreamed that Great Xia would really send troops to attack Da Yuzi for the sake of two caravans, and it would come so quickly.

Jiang Yuqing stood under the low city wall of Da Yuzi, blessed with spiritual power, shouted to them, and the crisp and sonorous sound penetrated the city wall and resounded in the sky above the entire border city.

"I am the Empress of the Great Xia Empire. It is extremely unreasonable for you to detain my caravan for no reason, and then detain my Great Xia envoys.

Now the palace was invited to come with troops to ask for my detained people and their goods.

I now order you to send it back within a day, but if there is a single hair missing, my army of Great Xia will step on your Great Yuzi. ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand: "Come on, give them a cannon to listen!" ”
