After the matter of sending troops to Liangzhou was decided, Yuan Qi sent an edict to Zhuge Liang, asking him to do a good job in the defense of Jizhou during this time, and at the same time protect the wings and annex the state, and temporarily put down the matter of asking for Wei County, so as not to anger Ugong Terulie. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 After that, Yuan Qi also made arrangements for the defense of the six northern states, let Qi Tian return to the state with the Flying Dragon Army, and jointly preside over the overall situation of the state with Guo Huai; let Zuo Ci garrison to the south of Youzhou, and be ready to support Jizhou or the state at any time, to prevent Ugong Terulie from taking advantage of the situation; let Huang Yong lead troops to Gwangju and cooperate with Cui Shou, Gongsun Iiyun and others to stabilize the situation in the three states of Guang, Ming, and Tong, and prevent Ugong Terulie from sabotaging from the inside; let Gan Jing and Su Fei led 60,000 naval troops to garrison Liaodong, where they were training troops and defending the sea routes; Gao Shun and Xu Rong were asked to speed up the training of the new army and strive to train the newly recruited sergeants into an army as soon as possible, so as to strengthen the defense of the states; and other officials, headed by Zhao Hu and Xun Luo, sat in Yanjing and presided over the overall situation.

Because this time the troops do not need to mobilize the soldiers and horses of Youzhou, eliminating the link of pre-war preparation, so Yuan Qi's expedition is scheduled for tomorrow, and when Yuan Qi arrives with the soldiers and soldiers to Bingzhou, I believe that Guo Huai has prepared all the military supplies and soldiers and horses to move, and Tongzhou Mulusu must have sent the soldiers and horses to Bingzhou. Before setting out for the expedition, Yuan Qi suddenly informed Hua Tuo and asked him to go with the army, although Hua Tuo did not understand what Yuan Qi's intention was to bring him, but he still agreed.

That night, all the soldiers who went out were preparing weapons, armor and belongings, and those with family members returned home to say goodbye to their relatives, and Yuan Qi was no exception. In the master bedroom of Yanwang's Mansion, Yuan Ying and his mother sat in the two positions at the top, and Yuan Qi sat with them at the bottom, talking softly with his parents. Shangguan Mi held a piece of white cotton cloth and stood in front of the armor stand, carefully wiping the Youlong Xiaotian Armor, while Sun Shangxiang stood beside Shangguan Mi, also cleaning the mixed halberd with cotton cloth. Jinyi is pregnant because she is pregnant. Therefore, he did not join them, but sat next to Yuan Qi, and talked with him, Yuan Ying, and his mother.

In the warm atmosphere in the room, the night was getting darker and darker, Yuan Ying saw that his mother had almost instructed Yuan Qi, so he secretly pulled his mother's sleeve, stood up and said, "Okay, it's not early, we have to go on the expedition tomorrow, let's let Yuan Qi rest early." Breeze. Accompany the young grandmother back to the room. ”

Yuan Ying's words made the faces of Yuan Qi and the three wives instantly turn red. Yuan Ying is a person who has come over, so he naturally knows the pain of separation, and understands that Yuan Qi and the third daughter want to snuggle together and spend the eve of the expedition together, but the problem is that Jinyi is already pregnant, and it is really not suitable for too strenuous exercise, so Yuan Ying will let Qingfeng accompany Jinyi back to her own room.

Walking side by side with his mother to the door, Yuan Ying suddenly turned his head again. looked at Yuan Qi, who was in an embarrassing state, and said meaningfully: "Don't make too much noise, save some physical strength." After that, Yuan Ying no longer paid attention to Yuan Qi. Accompanied his mother straight out of the room. Only the embarrassed Yuan Qi, Shangguan Mi, and Sun Shangxiang were left in the room.

After Yuan Ying left, Yuan Qi's embarrassed expression calmed down, smiled at Shangguan Mi and Sun Shangxiang, and said maliciously: "You guys have almost cleaned up?" How about we do something meaningful together?" Seeing Yuan Qi's squinting expression, the second daughter didn't understand what Yuan Qi was going to do? At the same time, she threw the cotton cloth in her hand at Yuan Qi, and then ran in the room. Sun Shangxiang turned around and teased Yuan Qi while running: "Do you want to ...... If you do something bad, you have to catch us first. ”

Yuan Qi laughed, then stood up, stretched out two big hands and grabbed a handful in the air, and then with a full statue of Brother Pig, he pounced on the second girl who was running...... This night, it is another night of boundless spring, Yuan Qi jumped on the horse with a gun, and fought repeatedly, for no other reason, the mother and the son are expensive, you know.

When the sky was bright, Yuan Qi woke up from his sleep, and looked sideways to see Shangguan Mi and Sun Shangxiang with happy smiles on their faces, leaning on their left and right shoulders, and had not woken up yet. Fortunately, Yuan Qi's self-control was very strong, and he gently pulled out the arm that was held in the arms of the second daughter, and then kissed them lightly on the forehead, jumped out of bed, his legs were weak, and he helped down the wall before putting on his clothes and armor, and tiptoed out of the room with the mixed yuan halberd.

At this moment, as complacent as Yuan Qi, there is also Mount Tai. Under the city of Yizhou, Yuanzhang took a group of civil and military ministers out of the city to welcome Mount Tai from afar. When Taishan was still a hundred steps away from Yizhou City, he suddenly restrained his horse, turned around and whispered to Zhang Wu and Pang Tong beside him: "Yuan Jiyu (Yuan Zhang's character) has hundreds of thousands of people with armor and strings, but he is afraid of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, how can such a person be able to keep the huge Yizhou? This is a great gift from God, a gift from heaven, and I have to take it." "Since getting half of Jingzhou, Taishan's ambition has also swelled with jealousy, and he is no longer humble as before. Think about it, in the past, Mount Tai was bumpy everywhere, and he had to pretend to be humble to win the sympathy of others, but now Mount Tai has his own territory, and his subordinates have more than 100,000 soldiers, so there is no need to be low-key everywhere.

Zhang Wu and Pang Tong listened to Taishan's whispering, and both showed knowing smiles on their faces, in their opinion, Yizhou was already Taishan's bag. Guan Wei did not appear by Taishan's side, because Taishan left Guan Wei in Jingzhou. At this stage, Jingzhou in the south is the foundation of Mount Tai, and before taking Yizhou, Jingzhou must not have any mistakes, so Mount Tai let Guan Wei guard in Jingzhou, and left Ma Liang to Guan Wei as a staff officer, and a number of generals under Guan Wei, such as Guan Ping, Zhou Cang and others, also stayed in Jingzhou.

At this moment, there were only more than a dozen civil and military officials such as Zhang Wu, Pang Tong, and Chen Zhi who were following Taishan, and what was more surprising was that Yu Ban also followed Taishan's side. Some time ago, Guan Wei flooded the Seventh Army in Jingzhou, Yu Ban was captured alive by Guan Wei's subordinate Zhou Cang, and has been imprisoned in prison since then, and later Taishan personally visited Yu Ban, and staged a scene of fake benevolence and false righteousness for the ban, and Yu Ban was fooled by the five confusions and three ways, and finally was willing to serve under Taishan's command. Yu Ban is a famous general of the Ugong Army, and it is very good to lead troops to fight, and Taishan takes a fancy to Yu Ban's point. So I brought him this time.

Glancing at Yuanzhang a hundred steps away, Taishan put away his disdain, put on a very happy look, then turned over and dismounted, and walked over on foot. Dismounted and walked at a distance of 100 paces, which was a sign of great respect for the other party at the time. Taishan adopted this method to express his respect to Yuanzhang, and at the same time to convey a false impression to the officials of Yizhou: Look, how much respect I Taishan has for Yizhou Mu, and my Taishan's character is worthy of all of you to believe. I, Taishan, will never try to benefit the state.

Sure enough, after seeing Taishan dismount, most of the officials behind Yuanzhang nodded secretly, initially agreeing with Taishan's character. However, there are also a few dozen officials, but they are secretly frowning, these people are Yuan Zhang's right-hand men, they are all people with dry goods, they will never believe in Taishan from the surface.

It's a pity that Yizhou Mu Yuanzhang thinks the same as most people. Du Taishan's favor increased greatly, and he turned his head to the people behind him and said: "See? How much respect Taishan Gong has for this mansion, you guys, before that, I also advised this government not to let Taishan Gong come to Yizhou." They are also alarmist, saying that it is simply nonsense to say anything that lures wolves into the house! No one will be allowed to say such things again in the future. ”

A hundred steps away, in the blink of an eye. Tarzan soon came to Yuan Zhang's face. With a smile on his face, he bowed to Yuan Zhang, and said, "Taishan greets the prince." "Haha, I have heard for a long time that the general's benevolence and righteousness are all over the world, and when I see it today, it really deserves its name. The foolish brother really hated to see each other late, go, and go back to the city with the foolish brother. Yuanzhang kindly grabbed Taishan's hand, pulled Taishan to turn around and walk towards Yizhou City.

Except for a few new states under the rule of Yuan Qi, Yizhou can be regarded as the largest state second to none, its geographical area is about the same as Jingzhou, and it is larger than Jizhou; its degree of prosperity is comparable to that of Jizhou, or even slightly higher; its population density is only slightly inferior to that of Jizhou and Qingzhou combined, all in all, Yizhou can be called the largest state of the Yuan Empire in terms of comprehensiveness. The environment of Yizhou has created the comprehensive strength of Yizhou, the jurisdiction of Yizhou includes the whole territory of Sichuan and most of Yunnan in the later generations, and also includes a small part of southern Gansu and southwest Ningxia, the special topography of the Sichuan Basin, resulting in the situation that Yizhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, with natural barriers such as the Sword Pavilion, these barriers have made Yizhou have not had large-scale wars in the past 20 years, so that the people in the territory can recuperate for a long time, with the joint efforts of millions of people in Yizhou, Yizhou is fertile for thousands of miles, and the country is rich and the people are rich.

The governance of Yizhou is CD, which is commonly known as Yizhou City, and the scale of the city is quite large, so that when Taishan first saw CD City, he deeply liked it here, and secretly calculated in his heart that after taking Yizhou, he must move the political center from Xiangyang to CD, and then rely on the treasure land of Yizhou to achieve the imperial industry here.
