Chapter 717: Capture of the West Sea (2)

It took Yunqing more than a month to lead his troops to approach Timur's lair. Timur was very cunning, taking advantage of his geographical advantages to frequently set traps for them, but fortunately Yunqing acted cautiously so that he was not fooled, but he also suffered a lot of losses.

Cui Mo rubbed his fists and wanted revenge.

Feng Dajun patted Cui Mo and said, "It's too early to be happy, there is still a tough battle to be fought." "This Timur also has more than 20,000 elite soldiers!

Yun Qing pointed to a place on the map and said, "According to the news that the scouts have returned, only this place has the weakest defense. ”

Feng Dajun frowned and said, "General, this is a dangerous place, and you can't get through." "It's because it's a dangerous place that the defense is the weakest.

Yunqing said: "Bring enough grass and planks, you should be able to pass." "This so-called dangerous place is actually a deep pit of silt, and people can easily fall into it when they go down. Therefore, this road is subconsciously avoided when fighting, but Yunqing is biased towards Shushan.

Feng Dajun shook his head and said worriedly: "I'm afraid that this grass and trees won't work!" "If the mud is too deep, it's useless to lay grass on it.

Yunqing said: "If it's useless, it's not too late to withdraw again." "There's no defense on this side anyway, and I'm not worried about being ambushed.

On the second day, Feng Dajun and Cui Mo brought 10,000 horses to stay where they were and wait for the signal. Yun Qing led 30,000 horses and prepared to go around the deep pit of silt, bundle the grass and throw it into the mud, and then spread wide planks on it. I tried it first, and I found that I wouldn't fall off if I stepped on it.

Yu Cong smiled and said, "General, the method you think of is really good." ”

Feng's army got the signal and led his troops to approach Timur's lair.

Timur's army was engaged in battle with Yu Cong, when an enemy army suddenly appeared behind him, and he was quickly defeated. It didn't take much time for Yunqing to occupy Yuze City.

At this point, most of the territory of the West Sea fell into the hands of Yunqing. The remaining territory that had not yet been occupied, Yunqing handed it over to the Feng army. Yunqing began to take care of the internal affairs of the West Sea, and if he wanted to make the West Sea peaceful, the Yi people must be wooed. Needless to say, Yunqing also knew that if these Yi people were not settled, Xihai would be in trouble in the future. In addition, the horse farm has to be started. There are many good horses here, and he has to scavenge for some good horses to breed.

To make time, Yunqing went to Xihaihu. Standing on a high place, looking at the vast and flat and boundless thousands of miles of grassland, I can't help but feel good.

Yu Cong knew that Yunqing wanted to build a horse farm here, and said with a smile: "General, this is a natural pasture. "Such a large grassland with lush vegetation, and being by the lake, is not the best horse farm.

Yun Qing smiled and said, "Just here, it's enough." "There are 10,000 horses here, so there is no need to build two horse farms. This will be a shortage of money, so build a horse farm first.

The group rode to the Xihai Lake, the smoke and waves are vast, the blue waves of the Xihai Hu, like a huge jade jade plate inlaid between the mountains and plains.

Yu Cong looked at it and couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder this lake is called Immortal Lake, isn't it a fairyland on earth!" "Such a beautiful view, isn't it a place where immortals live.

Yunqing was also in a good mood: "If Madame arrives here, I'm afraid I won't want to go back to Ho City." "Such a beautiful scenery, even he was stunned, let alone Yuxi.

After staying in Xihai Hu for three days, Yunqing returned to Yanzhou City. Takamatsu handed the letter from Ho Cheng to Yunqing and said; "General, Madame's letter."

Yuxi's correspondence with Yunqing is very frequent, almost every two days. Because we are talking about official business, there is no waste of manpower, material and financial resources.

Yu Cong saw that Yun Qing's face was happy, and he knew that it was a good thing.

Yunqing didn't wait for Yu Cong to ask, so he said with a smile: "The gold mine has mined a batch of gold, and it is in good condition, and the amount is quite a lot. "Mining gold can also greatly relieve their pressure. Beginning to occupy the northwest, he really didn't think too much about it. But Yuxi has always told him that he is in his position to seek his own government, since he is in this position, he not only thinks about the soldiers, but also thinks about the people, and seeks a place for the benefit of the people.

Yu Cong was also very happy: "This is really good news. Yu Cong knew that money was very tight now, and Madame was even more eager to break a penny of silver into two petals.

The corners of Yun Qing's mouth raised. Speaking of which, the gold mine mined a lot of gold this time, and it is partly due to Yunqing. Yun Qing used to be directly executed when he caught a prisoner. Because of Yuxi's nagging, all the prisoners were left behind and sent to the mine in this battle. In several places of gold and copper mines, there is a great shortage of people, and this part of the people just solves the urgent need.

The battle in the Western Sea went smoothly, which was a good thing for Yunqing and Yuxi, but it was definitely a bad thing for the emperor. Then I saw Lu Boda's excerpt asking for money, and my mood was extremely bad.

Yuchen looked at the emperor's expression, and didn't ask much, just made a cup of Mao Feng tea for him: "Take a sip of tea, take a slow." "The emperor likes to drink Maofeng tea.

The emperor took a sip, put down the teacup, and said, "Yunqing has occupied the West Sea. "Occupy one more place, Yunqing's power has increased by another point, and when the internal affairs of the imperial court are stable, it will be even more difficult to pacify the northwest.

Yuchen remembered what Yuxi said in his reply, and his expression was not very good. She didn't expect that Yuxi not only wanted jurisdiction in the northwest, but also wanted the emperor to make Yunqing king. How big is the danger of this king with a different surname, Yuchen knows very well in his heart. How could she agree to such conditions. Yuchen weighed it in his heart for a long time and said, "Your Majesty, if you can let Yan Wushuang go to pacify the northwest, the situation will definitely improve." "Yan Wushuang and Yunqing, both of them are big troubles. If he leads his troops to the northwest to quell the rebellion, and defeats Yunqing, the court will also be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

The Emperor said, "The idea is very good, but it is difficult to realize. "Yan Wushuang is not stupid, it is impossible to accept this errand.

Yuchen said: "Your Majesty, the matter is man-made, Yan Wushuang doesn't agree now, it doesn't mean that he will never agree." "If you deny it if you don't do it, you will never succeed.

At this time, Mama Gui said outside: "Your Majesty, the queen, Yu Niangniang asks to see." "This Yu Niangniang refers to Yu Xiyu. After Zhou Xuan's death, Yu Xiyu fell ill, even when she was sick, Yu Xiyu cried all day long.

The emperor said coldly, "Please come in." "Yu Xiyu's behavior, except for the emperor, no one else suspected that the dead was a stand-in, even Yan Wushuang, there was not the slightest suspicion.

Yu Xiyu came over this time to say goodbye to the emperor and Yuchen. She also knew that she couldn't disappear for no reason, otherwise she would still arouse Yan Wushuang's suspicions. Therefore, Yu Xiyu proposed to go to Lingshan Temple to become a monk and pray for the emperor and Zhou Xuan. It's not that Yu Xiyu is cautious, but she is really afraid of Yan Wushuang, except for Zhou Xuan, who was sent away, all the other children of the former emperor had an accident.

Yuchen didn't speak, just looked at the emperor.

The emperor nodded in agreement, and said to Yuchen: "You can arrange this matter!" "Actually, the emperor is also very helpless. The first emperor's heir will have an accident, although it is not his poisonous hand, but it is also his acquiescence. Because, this is the condition that Yan Wushuang put forward at the beginning. This is also the reason why as soon as he returned to the capital, he replaced Zhou Xuan. As for Zhou Xuan's stand-in, it was already found by the first emperor.

Yuchen walked over, helped Yu Xiyu sit down, and said, "Imperial sister-in-law, your body is still very weak, and it is not too late to go to Lingshan Temple when your body is better." "There are only two ways to be in the identity of Yu Xiyu, either you will be locked up in the house for the rest of your life, or you will be accompanied by the ancient Buddha for a lifetime. In fact, the essence of both options is the same. Not to mention that Yu Xiyu is the queen, even other concubines can't remarry, so they can only live like this for the rest of their lives.

Yu Xiyu shook her head and said, "Queen Mother, it's not convenient for me to live in the harem for a long time. I've asked them to pack up their things and go to Lin San Temple tomorrow. "Stay in Lingshan Temple for a while, and when Yan Wushuang no longer suspects, she will fake her death and reunite with her son. She doesn't have any other thoughts now, she just wants to raise her son, marry a daughter-in-law for her son, and live a peaceful life.

Yuchen saw that Yu Xi's words had been decided, so he didn't say anything anymore.

Sending Yu Xiyu away, Yuchen sighed and said, "The world is unpredictable. Yu Xiyu was famous when she was a girl, and later she was envied and jealous by many people when she married the Nine Emperor Princes, but she didn't expect that she would fall to such a point.

Mama Gui said, "Niangniang, don't think about it. Master Tongtong said that Niangniang is very rich and expensive! This means that Yuchen will not be as unblessed as Yu Xiyu.

Yuchen was no longer willing to understand the monk's words: "Didn't he say that Yuxi was declining?" Do you think he can be trusted? "Yuxi is living more comfortably than anyone else now.

Speaking of this, Yuchen remembered what the Qiu family had said before: "I remember that the eldest aunt once said that Huiyuan's major affairs also showed Yuxi the face, and Master Huiyuan said that Yuxi was bitter first and then sweet. Compared with Monk Tong, Master Huiyuan's comments are more accurate.

As he was saying this, he heard Shiqin say that the eldest grandmother of the Guogong Mansion had entered the palace and was waiting outside the palace. This time it was Gao who came, and Gao was Jianjun's wife. Jianjun was murdered by the Qiao family back then, although his life was saved, his leg was lame. has no fame and becomes a cripple again, and this daughter-in-law is naturally difficult to find. Gao's background is not low, her father is a seven-grade official, but he is a concubine, so he will marry Han Jianjun. However, Gao's temperament is soft and soft, and he is not valued at home, and there is no grievance when he marries Han Jianjun, and the husband and wife are also harmonious and beautiful.

Yuchen took the sign yesterday and asked the Gao family to come over today: "Please come in with Grandma Gao!" "Yuchen doesn't hate this brother and sister, but he doesn't like it either.

Gao's came over this time for Jiancheng's marriage. Jiancheng is seventeen years old this year, and it's time to talk about marriage.

Yuchen heard that Han Jingyan wanted to marry the Yu family, so he immediately refused: "Yu Xiang is seriously ill and can't afford it, if the girl from the Yu family is set, Jiancheng will have to marry after three years." "Although the Gao family is a good person, his ability is too poor to manage the family at all, and as for the Wen family, he can't be on the stage. Therefore, it is absolutely not okay to marry after three years. Moreover, Yu Xiang saw that these days were over, and no one could predict what the future of the Yu family would be.

Gao is only responsible for passing the word, and she can't interfere with the rest.

Yuchen had a headache and said: "I know Jiancheng's marriage. "Yuchen already has a candidate, but he hasn't found a suitable opportunity to tell the emperor yet. R1148
