Chapter 60: The Eastern Frontier
Su Wan didn't know how to respond.
It was also by accident that this marriage fell on her head, otherwise I am afraid that she would have to suffer in the Imperial History Mansion at this time.
As he was talking, a guard of the palace came to him in a panic.
"Lord Wang, it's not good, Goguryeo suddenly sent 30,000 troops to the Tuku River."
"A patrol we arranged there was all killed by them, and the heads have been sent back!"
Qin Zhan's pupils suddenly dilated, and the anger on his face reached the extreme.
"What? He Goguryeo dared to make a sudden move! Immediately give the order and mobilize troops and horses to the banks of the Tuku River! ”
"These guys, do you really think that the old man can't fight?"
Su Wanliu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and there was a little more worry in her starry eyes.
"Lord Wang, the concubine thinks that this matter should not be taken lightly!"
Qin Zhan turned his head, and his face was a little surprised.
"Oh? Why? ”
Su Wan adjusted her breathing slightly.
"Goguryeo is also a powerful country in Liaodong, and the Great Xia Dynasty once launched three large-scale eastern crusades, but they did not destroy them, but defeated them."
"The number of troops that the palace has at its disposal now is too small, if you go head-to-head with it, you can't bargain!"
"Besides, now that it is approaching the moon of Layue, it is expected that they will not dare to cross the river easily, and the reason why they came here is just to provoke."
"The prince only needs to send a team of soldiers and horses to garrison this side of the river."
Qin Zhan's eyes were a little more excited, he really didn't expect his granddaughter-in-law to have such courage.
"Yu'er has a daughter-in-law like you, it's his blessing!"
With that, he turned and left the chamber.
In Jiamu City, Qin Yu stood on the city wall, his brows furrowed.
"No, this progress is too slow, and if it goes on like this, there will be no way to settle the people who go here before the lunar month."
Wei Yan next to him sighed helplessly: "No matter who it is in this weather, you will freeze if you stand outside for half an hour, let alone work." ”
Qin Yu's breathing suddenly became short: "Then what now?" Do you want these people to freeze to death in the ice and snow? ”
Wei Xi didn't take a step forward and pointed to the surrounding open space.
"Shizi, in fact, you don't have to build so many wooden houses, you can temporarily dig out a semi-crypt-like house."
"So, we just need to build the roof."
"When the weather is warm in the spring next year, it's not too late to build them a wooden house."
Qin Yu forgot to pat his head: "Thank you for the old general's mention, why didn't I think of it." ”
"Pass this order on at once!"
Wei Yan didn't dare to be the slightest bit lazy, so he did it immediately.
Qin Yu looked at the busy scene in front of him, and suddenly felt a surging feeling in his heart.
As long as this winter passes, he can rely on the men and horses in his hands to go all the way south to unify the entire Nuer Gandusi.
At this moment, in Blackwater City, Zhang Feng held his hands in his arms, and a pair of eyes stared at the ice field in the distance like an eagle falcon.
"Did the court reply?"
The subordinates next to him shook their heads again and again, and their faces were a little more afraid.
"My lord, it seems that the moon is coming, and even if the imperial court sends a messenger, I am afraid that it will not be able to arrive until the beginning of spring next year."
Zhang Feng gritted his teeth, he didn't know the reason.
This was originally a bitter cold place of exile, and there was no battle along the way, and if those messengers braved the wind and snow, they would probably die on the way.
Sighing helplessly, he could only go back to the house, pick up the wine next to the stove and pour a sip.
"Have the spies sent to the north returned? What about Ningguta? ”
"Your Excellency!" With some trembling trembling, the subordinate took out a letter from his body and sent it over.
"According to the report from the spies, the prince of Jingbei fought a few battles in Ningguta, and he actually conquered the surrounding tribes one after another!"
Zhang Fengduan's pupils suddenly dilated, and he hurriedly opened the letter, and when he saw the contents on it, he sat on the chair.
"Oh my God, this kid's appearance in the capital is really pretended!"
"I don't believe that in just a few days, he can change from a boy who eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles to a generation of war gods!"
"That Wuliangha alone gave the court a headache, and he sent several large armies to the north in a row, but they all returned in vain, and he was able to destroy 30,000 enemies in one battle!"
Everyone present also set off a storm in their hearts.
Qin Yu was notoriously gentlemanly when he was in the capital, and he was even familiar with their place of exile.
Who would believe that in the blink of an eye, there has been a drastic change?
Zhang Fengduan couldn't care so much, so he immediately took a pen and paper and quickly wrote down a letter.
"Find someone immediately, no matter what the cost, be sure to send this letter to Your Majesty in the shortest possible time."
The subordinates next to him didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly took over the recital.
In the cold winter of Layue, heavy snow fell, and the entire Nuer Gandusi was completely covered with ice and snow.
Ningguta, further north, is even more severe, but anyone who walks out of the house can be frozen.
Qin Yuzuan trembled in the quilt, and even his head was tightly covered.
"Shizi, if you don't want to look like this, you will be suffocated!"
Murong Xuewei stretched out her arm and hugged Qin Yu's head tightly in her arms.
"What time is it?"
Murong Xuewei looked at the hourglass next to her: "It's about noon!" ”
Qin Yu took a deep breath, he couldn't care so much at this time, and hugged Murong Xuewei's perfect carcass tightly.
"Whatever, I had already ordered that no one should go out, and there can't be anything wrong with this weather."
At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Shizi, something is wrong!" Red Feather's voice suddenly sounded: "There is a caravan outside the city, saying that it is a heavy snow covering the mountain, it is lost, and it has inadvertently turned to us, and it is requested to be taken in." ”
Qin Yu couldn't help frowning.
In this kind of weather, even he is hiding under the covers, unwilling to go out, how can there be a caravan here?
Besides, there is no end to this ice field, how can you get lost?
Sighing helplessly, he put on his clothes and hurried to the door.
"What the hell is going on?"
Hong Yu immediately took out a piece of jade from his body and sent it to Qin Yu.
"The guards guarding the city have searched, the caravan has no weapons, and a large number of jade stones have been found among their goods, each of which is worth a fortune."
Qin Yu's eyes widened when he saw this jade.
"Could it be that this kind of ghost weather, there are really caravans willing to run around?"
Hong Yu didn't know how to answer, so he had to take Qin Yu and hurriedly arrived at the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion.
A middle-aged man who looked a little vicissitudes of life, sat by the fire in a cotton suit and shivered.
"I've said it many times, we are really merchants from the Western Regions who have been doing business in the grasslands all the way, but we got lost and got here."
