Cui Xue'er looked at the begonia flowers in full bloom in the palace and was a little stunned. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Two days ago, her mother concubine had returned from Qingzhou, and at the same time, she brought back the holy decree that she should enter the palace as a concubine.

Although both her father and mother were happy, she was not happy at all, and it was not at all worth rejoicing for her to marry a man she had never met in a distant and strange place.

It's just the order of her parents, the words of the matchmaker, not to mention that as the daughter of the vassal king, she has no choice at all.

"Cher, what are you thinking?" At this time, a loud voice sounded, and a man in gorgeous clothes with a majestic and sturdy figure walked towards her.

Seeing the visitor, Cui Xue'er's eyes smiled into a crescent moon, and she said, "Father, why are you here." ”

"Father, come to see you, after all, my daughter is about to become the imperial concubine of the Great Yu Kingdom." Huainan Wang said loudly.

Hearing this, Cui Xue'er suddenly pursed her mouth, looking like she was about to cry, she said: "My daughter is going to Qingzhou, my father is not only not distressed, but so happy, it seems that my father does not feel sorry for his daughter at all." ”

The king of Huainan was stunned for a moment, he suddenly laughed, and said; "Xue'er, it is precisely because you are about to become the imperial concubine that you are so happy, because in the father's heart, the only one who can match you in this world is the current saint."

"Yes, yes, in the four years of the Holy Lord, he first defeated the barbarians in Cangzhou, and then defeated the barbarians again in Jizhou, and my daughter's ears heard the alkali." Cui Xueer covered her ears.

When King Huainan saw his daughter's appearance, the smile on his face became more and more intense, and he said: "However, this time the Holy Lord has impressed his father, just a few days ago, the alliance of the three kings was defeated, and the position of the Holy Lord has been unshakable, and the King of Yan, King Liang and King Zhao will be destroyed, and the north of Dayu will be convenient and stable." ”

Cui Xue'er just rolled her eyes when she heard this, so she wouldn't care about this.

Seeing his daughter's lack of interest, King Huainan's eyes turned and got to the point, "The grandmother who accompanied you into the palace, your mother and concubine have been selected for you, and they will take care of you in the palace in the future, and you will not be wronged." ”

Cui Xue'er nodded, at this time she only had apprehension in her heart, because she didn't know who she would be facing.

As if seeing his daughter's worries, King Huainan comforted: "If there is chaos today, the emperor attaches great importance to us, and the emperor will treat you even if he looks at his father's face, you can rest assured." ”

Cui Xue'er heard the reluctance between her father's words, and she smiled, "Father doesn't have to worry, it is a daughter's honor to be able to join the royal family, and the daughter is just reluctant to give up her father and mother." ”

King Huainan felt a sour heart, the marriage between the daughter of the vassal king and the royal family is the tradition of the Great Yu Kingdom, for the long-term peace and stability of the Great Chongqing Kingdom.

While the two were talking, suddenly a young man in armor came over, and when he saw the king of Huainan, the young man said; "Father, the army has been assembled, and it can be sent to Yingzhou at any time."

Cui Xue'er was taken aback when she heard this, and she said nervously: "Father, is there another war?" ”

King Huainan's expression was solemn, and he said: "The emperor has made an order, one is to let you enter Beijing in these two days, and the other is to capture Yingzhou and destroy the soldiers and horses of the king of Chu." ”

Cui Shangan also looked at Cui Xue'er at this time and said: "Sister don't worry, King Yan is already at the end of the crossbow, and the capture of Yingzhou this time is also the credit given to us by the emperor, maybe I will also go to Qingzhou as a general after this war, and I can meet my sister from time to time when the time comes." ”

Cui Xue'er felt relieved, and she said: "If my brother is here, I won't worry." ”

……

Qingzhou.

It was only five days before the Battle of Yunzhou, and another battle was reported to Xiao Ming's study.

On the day of the Battle of Yunzhou, Xiao Sa led the remnants of the Liang army to hurry back to King Qinwang of Gyeongju, and was successfully ambushed by the combined forces of Qi Guangyi and Chen Xinran on the way.

"Xiao Sa is dead!" Looking at the content of the battle report, Xiao Ming was slightly surprised.

"The second prince was hit by a musket, and when Qi Guangyi found him, he was already silent." This battle report was sent back by Niu Ben himself.

After the war in Yunzhou is over, there is no need for him to stay in Yunzhou, and the rest of the war is enough for Lu Fei, Luo Hong and others.

Xiao Ming was silent for a while, the crown prince died, and the second prince is also dead now, and the mortality rate of the prince of the feudal dynasty is really high.

However, Xiao Ming was only slightly surprised when he heard that the second prince died, because this prince did not have much contact with him, and he always wanted to put him to death, he was a stranger to this person, and if he died, he would die.

"Your Majesty, all the elites of the Liang army have been killed, and the Liang State is already an empty shell, so take this opportunity to take the Liang State in one fell swoop, especially Juyong Pass, lest the King of Liang go crazy and destroy the pass." Niu Ben said.

Xiao Ming nodded, "You let Qi Guangyi continue to cooperate with the Yongjun army to attack the Liang State, if you take Juyong Pass, you must take the pass into your own hands." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Niu Ben responded.

He already knew about King Yong's attachment, but even then they couldn't fully trust King Yong, after all, King Yong was still one of the vassal kings anyway.

In their national policy, they still have to cut down the feudal domain in the end, but for the sake of the unification of the Great Chongqing State, they have to temporarily forbear.

Picked up the battle report and continued to read it, and there was also news that Kaizhou and Bianzhou had been conquered, "Kaizhou? It's a treasure trove. ”

The Kaizhou of the Great Chongqing Kingdom is Puyang County of modern Henan, which is located in the northeast of Henan Province, located on the shore of the Yellow River, at the junction of Shandong and Anhui provinces.

According to the data in the science and technology database, Puyang County is rich in natural resources, and the domestic oil and gas production accounts for 70% and 90% of the total output of Zhongyuan oil field.

In addition, Kaizhou is rich in underground salt resources, with proven reserves of 140 billion tons.

Thinking of this information, Xiao Ming's most sensitive nature is oil, which is necessary for internal combustion engines in the future, and this place is very close to Qingzhou, but the only difficulty is that the ore layer is too deep and requires extremely high drilling technology.

"The Three Kings Alliance was defeated, and took this opportunity to quickly take the former royal states and counties, in addition to the garrison in Kaizhou and Bianzhou, when Lu Fei and Ye Qingyun waited for the opportunity to continue to capture the nearby states and counties, control more land, and compress King Zhao's sphere of influence."

After a pause, he continued: "I have already given an order to the King of Huainan to send troops to attack Yingzhou, and the affairs of the Yan Kingdom can be handed over to him. ”

"King Huainan?" Niu Ben was a little stunned, "Your Highness, is King Huainan reliable?" ”

"I just want to test that he can be trusted, if he captures Yingzhou and returns the royal state, this Huainan king can be used, if he still does not leave, it means that he is ambitious, and I will treat him differently."
