Seeing off the sunset messenger, Takagaki has some confidence in his heart. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sima Jian is not wrong, as long as the prairie does not completely fall to the Qinghui Empire, everything is easy to say about Cuihua and Sunset, and the Sunset Messenger is even more blunt: even if the army is defeated now, if the two countries sincerely form an alliance with Yanning and join forces to unify their command, it is still not difficult to destroy the Xuebing. King Xiangyun can't wait for this situation to happen, and he will only help and will not dismantle the stage.

Sent Yan Zifeng to invite Excellence, the three of them bit their ears and muttered for a while, the next day the Superior Escort went back to urge grain and grass ordnance, Swallow Wind led the troops to clear the horse bandits on the trade road, everything seemed to be carried out according to the tasks assigned that day, the only difference was that Gao Yuan did not leave Tucheng.

A fire burned down the ancient village, and Baji's three legions were stationed outside the city, faintly forming horns with the sunset and Cuihua, and there were many people in the army who put forward the following questions: What is the intention of the three legions? Now that only Baji's legions on the grassland are fully organized, how can they be abnormally deployed if they do not take the opportunity to attack the two countries, so that they seem to be always on guard against the surprise attack of the cadet corps.

Hua Zifei couldn't understand that he could only prohibit the officers from talking about military aircraft, but Hu Li was insightful and dared to love Yan Ning and Mei Ying: a nominal grassland marquis sent Yan Ning away, she asked Mei Ying to fulfill her promise before the war, the prairie was not a subsidiary of the Qinghui Empire, and she did not hesitate to resume the war for this reason. Hu Li naturally told Hua Zifei, and the two secretly made contingency arrangements, and the security of Tucheng was lax on the surface, but if you look closely, the defenders at the city gate are all elite pacesetters.

"County Lord, the inspector team sent out all the royal secret guard teams, saying that they were ordered to investigate the murderers who attacked the transport team, and the rest of the people did not inspect the battalions, and protected Yan Ning's residence tightly, and even I was not allowed to carry weapons when I entered or exited, let alone bring guards. ”

The corners of Mei Ying's mouth twitched: "The secret guard is gone, what about you and Qing'er's people?" Yu Wenjie replied angrily: "I still need to ask, I must let Gao Yuan secretly put under house arrest and replace it with the elite under Baji, I was too careless." Mei Ying comforted in turn: "Just let him toss, I really want to start, he can keep it?" Hmph, if you don't admit your mistakes honestly, he will look good in the future." ”

"In the future, always in the future, Qing'er will almost make Yan Ning and Zhuo Zhuo cry angrily, the empire has killed tens of thousands of people in battle, what a big risk to send troops to the grassland, now she wants to be the king of the grassland, what is excellence, and she also wants benefits!"

Mei Ying sighed and shook her head: "You think so, the opinions of the ministers of the DPRK and China can be imagined, allowing Yanning to control the grassland independently after the war, I can't talk and don't count." ”

"Controlling the grassland independently, it's not for her to wander outside the empire!" Yuwen Jie shouted angrily, ignoring the embarrassment that Yan Ning heard when he first came in, Ling Huqing had no choice but to play a round against his will: "I said that there is a casual quarrel at the negotiation table, and the relationship between sisters is another matter, just you are an old outrageous, she is here, call your personal guards, and it will be a hundred times over." ”

"You think I don't want to catch it, hmph, if it weren't for the eldest sister not agreeing, I would have been arrested!"

Yan Ning was so angry that she ignored her, walked straight to Mei Ying's side, and said aggrievedly: "Gao Yuan is doing a mess, don't get involved with me, I want to fulfill my promise, my face is not thick enough to force force, besides, can the Baji Legion fight the first legion? The second legion may not be able to win steadily!" Mei Ying ignored her, and Yan Ning was even more angry: "The grassland is not the territory of the empire in the first place, and sending troops to the grassland is also a last resort. If the war is not good for the spring to expand, and the war between empires is harmful, can you stay in the grassland and fight for a long time? When the war is over, I am afraid that I will not even be able to be the lord of the county when I go back. ”

"You're threatening me?!"

"Whatever you think, but this is the current situation, if you don't want to go back, you can stay, our sisters live and work in peace and contentment in the prairie, regardless of how the situation changes in the court of the Qinghui Empire. ”

Mei Ying was also not angry: "You can't take a step back, admit to the outside world that you are a vassal of the empire, I will go back and explain, and you don't have much to lose." ”

"Stop arguing, back to the old topic, the eldest sister is here. ”

Hua Yue has been used to seeing the two quarrel in the past few days, and went over to pull up Yu Wenjie: "People are fighting for power and profit, why are you in a hurry, you still want to arrest the second sister, I really want to beat you!" After the reprimand, he looked at Mei Ying and Yan Ning with a cold face: "Continue to quarrel, I just got the news that King Xiangyun closed Jicui Pass, and said to the outside world that it was the Chamber of Commerce that cleared up the enemy during the war, and the envoys from Kyoto were not allowed to pass, we were all hostages, and it was difficult to gain a foothold in the prairie with this little bit of people left." ”

Mei Ying pressed her hand on the table, and it took a long time to suppress her anger: "Eldest sister, this is not the style of King Xiangyun, Gao Yuan is making me bad, forcing me to agree to Yanning's independence, I don't agree, forgive him King Xiangyun does not dare to rebel, and use a county lord to destroy a county king, grandpa can settle this account." ”

"So I beat him hard, don't want to get up for ten days and half a month, or Xiangyun King will switch it in a few days, but think about it, this hand Xiangyun King can be used at any time, and there will be no sunset and Cuihua to respond, not to mention Yanning, even if we all stay, we will always be controlled by others, not to mention that the two countries will go to war again, Xiangyun King will make a little bad and defeated, you can't catch his handle, how to punish the crime, the teacher is nameless, and the other three county kings will not sit idly by. ”

"The strategy of cutting the domain is imperative!" Mei Ying forced out of her throat word by word, and Yan Ning took the opportunity to show her loyalty: "I am in favor of cutting the domain, so I should not be a vassal country, lest you destroy me by the way." Mei Ying laughed angrily: "Second sister, you are thick-skinned enough, I still don't agree." ”

Hua Yue didn't sell Guan Zi anymore, and pulled up the two of them with a smile: "It's really wrong to hit Gao Yuan this time, he came up with a perfect plan, in fact, we have all said before, hum, the interests are moving, you probably have forgotten." ”

Yan Ning accepted Qinghui's title, but at the same time announced an alliance with Sunset and Cuihua, in exchange for the two countries recognizing her dominance over the grasslands and trading freely with the three kingdoms. Due to the contribution of the soldiers to the construction of the city by Yanhou, in the future, 3,000 good horses will be paid to Qinghui every year, of which 1,000 will be distributed to Zhuo, in addition, the grassland trade is free to compete with each family, and the Yanhou Mansion must maintain the order of fair trade. In order to coordinate their relations in a timely manner, the three countries and the four parties jointly formed a transitional governing body, but the personnel had to be selected from the families involved in the fighting. The reconstruction of the prairie requires a large amount of money, and on the premise of maintaining Yanning's dominance, whoever pays more will have weight.

Mei Ying looked at Ling Huqing, the two pondered carefully for a while, and felt that there was no other way to do it, Yan Ning accepted the title and took the initiative to pay tribute, Mei Ying's return to Beijing was enough to explain, to be honest, the Qinghui Empire did not look down on the interests of the grassland, just to get a name, not to mention that he also buried a soft nail for King Xiangyun, and at the critical moment, Yan Ning didn't have to think about it.

"Report the number first, how much it will cost to rebuild, I will pay half. Mei Ying was angry and didn't spare people, she grabbed the flaw and gave Yan Ning a problem, Qinghui accounted for half, how could Sunset and Cuihua agree, Yan Ning turned her head and didn't speak, Mei Ying deliberately angered her: "It's still wrong for me to give you money, who can I show it." ”

"County Lord, you want half of your mouth, we will follow you to work hard, how can we explain to the family when we go back?" Yu Wenjie directly objected, and Ling Huqing was no longer silent: "This money cannot be paid by the three royal families, and the nobles of the families who participated in the war are divided according to their exploits and losses, just like when the Chamber of Commerce was established, they paid dividends but did not participate in management, and Yan Ning was also easy to do." ”

Solve the conflict of interests, the five sisters will make a mess after a while, as if nothing has happened, this is the advantage of the children of the family, for the sake of interests, you can use the knife to make a trick, and it will not hurt your feelings much later, unlike ordinary people, three taels of silver may not be in contact with each other for several lifetimes.

The most unlucky is Gao Yuan, Hua Yue didn't do it first, took him to the training ground, and called it martial arts, the result can be imagined, let Chang Yunfei go back, Hua Yue praised before leaving: "Yes, I didn't do anything bad, and the martial arts didn't pull down, but it was worse than I expected, in a year, when you leave the standard camp, your strength will not reach the general, I will transfer you to my side, give me a personal guard, and I will accompany you to practice when I have time!"

"Captain, don't blame me for talking too much, Huabiao has something to say, before you get the qualification of a general, you must not be greedy for women, otherwise you will be beaten every day. Today I'm stupid, how strong is the strength of Huabiao, even you don't have the strength to fight back, it's not half a star. I guess she hasn't done her best, or you're even worse. ”

In the past, when Hua Yue taught him a lesson, Gao Yuan didn't dare to fight back, knowing that Hua Yue was powerful, but he didn't think that the gap would be too big, and today he learned from the martial arts artist to let him fight back, but the result was only a beating, and finally understood that the difference was too far, the little senior sister had been hiding her strength before, saving face for him and Qin Rufeng in disguise, and she really wanted to fight to the death, afraid that one move would knock the two away. Martial Artist?Gao Yuan gasped and felt that his whole body was in pain, and his heart was even more uncomfortable, Hua Yue was the same age as him, and he was also training in the standard camp, how could he be so strong and prosperous, and he would be accompanied by demons, and he would seem to have to work harder in the future, and he rarely had anything to do to participate in the affairs between Hua Yue's sisters.

Hua Yue is very happy, Gao Yuan can resist the temptation of women, so far he has not crossed the thunder pool half a step, he has the heart of a martial artist, and he has a bottom in his heart after the trial, the strength of the little junior brother definitely exceeds that of the martial school, the grassland war is over, and it is completely possible to cultivate quietly for a year, and it is completely possible to reach the general, you must know that he let Hua Zifei be a military general when he was a child, and the difference between him and the qi refiner is very big, even the qi training mantra is incomplete, and the method applied is even more ignorant.

Maybe it's about to be separated, Hua Yue ignored the strange eyes of other people, and came to accompany Gao Yuan every day, teaching mantras to guide cultivation is one thing, and when the inspectors saw her washing Gao Yuan's clothes, they couldn't close their mouths one by one, which was a wordless statement.

"Sister-in-law, should you take the initiative, or I will write to my grandfather and settle the name as soon as possible. Yan Zifeng was anxious after he came back, and he didn't give Yan Ning a bad idea, so he almost didn't say the words to strike first, and every time he let Yan Ning scold away, he made an exception to explain to him today: "The name, the county lord is hanging aside, I need to come forward, Hua Yue is about to leave the standard camp, Mei Ying also has to go back to Beijing, where do you say Gao Yuan can go, in addition to staying with me, he still has a home." By the way, what happened to what I asked you to do?"

"My father came forward to negotiate, there is nothing that can be done, and when the situation stabilizes, I will trick the four old men to the grassland. Old man Hua won't go to Kyoto, hehe, the five of them stay here, Gao Yuan's home is here, and the sister-in-law is still powerful. ”

"The war is over, you go home as soon as possible, don't mention your military exploits, and don't get too close to the noble children of Kyoto, and maintain a good relationship with Excellence, the roots of Yanhou Mansion are in Xiangyun County. ”

"My father said the same thing, and I'll hand in my resignation tomorrow. Yan Zifeng lowered his head again after speaking, and only spoke after a while: "Sister-in-law, the royal autumn queen settles accounts, and the uncle can't hide those things, and I'm afraid that there will be chaos when I investigate it, so I have to find a way to save my life." ”

"I have already thought about it, come to the grassland, I will not compete with you for the title, but also keep him in the vein, blood is always thicker than water, don't worry, he can't toss in the grassland. ”

"I'm relieved, and when I go back, I secretly tell my uncle, let him dispose of the property under his name as soon as possible, and I will find someone to buy it secretly, hehehe, I can't ask you for silver as soon as I come." ”

Yan Ning raised his slap: "Get out, your uncle's property is all left, Mei Ying will not be wiped out, you don't take advantage of the fire to rob, I think I can't see it." People are gone, how much of a threat can they pose to you. ”

A similar scene then played out all over the empire, with no swords in sight, but the battle was more brutal than the battlefield.

The children of the nobles who served in the army left Tucheng one after another, and before leaving, they took the military merit certificate written by Mei Ying himself, and the status after returning to the family was not much worse than that of the eldest son, with the secret support of the county lord, the battle for inheritance rights began, fundamentally weakening the strength of the aristocratic group, and laying the foreshadowing of the pro-county lord in various places.

The most open and effective hand is to settle the standard battalion is about to graduate from the apprentice soldiers, Mei Ying did not stay with her alone, where she came and went, all of them were assigned back to the original place, the difference is that when she came, she was a student soldier, and when she left, she was an imperial officer. Generally speaking, the highest rank in the army is not the patrol commander, and the lowest military rank of the graduate soldiers who participated in the grassland war is the patrol commander, most of them have the rank of standard commander, such as Qin Rufeng and Lei Ming, etc., are directly the main general of the first battalion, the captain, the middle-level officer who has the actual military power in the Qinghui Empire, and has become a new upstart in the empire, and to maintain the wealth and glory, the only way to keep up with the pace of the county lord is to fight.

The war side stopped the trade and the road was restless, and the noble envoys of the family who wanted to come to Kyoto to get a piece of the pie let the horse bandits rob all over the way, and the property was lost, but fortunately the horse bandits robbed the money and died, and the messengers returned to Jicui Pass in embarrassment, and the king of Xiangyun searched for three days and five days and imposed martial law, and drove a group of envoys back to Kyoto, and did not even see Mei Ying's face, so that the distribution of interests was not threatened and affected by Kyoto.
