Chapter 694 Urgent

The time when Yunqing got the victory in Tanzhou was half a day later than Yuxi. Holding this good news, Yunqing was in a complicated mood.

General Luo Liang looked at Yun Qing's appearance, and asked a little strangely: "My lord, is there something wrong with the victory report in Tanzhou?" After winning the battle, normally the lord should be happy, and shouldn't have such an expression.

Yun Qing put down those thoughts in his mind and said, "No problem." Winning a battle is a happy thing, but unfortunately he just can't be happy.

Luo Liang was a little suspicious, but he didn't ask any more questions. During this period of time, the prince has been in a bad mood, and he doesn't want to touch this bad luck.

After thinking for a while, Luo Liang said, "Tanzhou has won, so General Xu and General Yu should attack Jiangxi next?"

Yun Qing shook his head and said, "Their casualties are too high, and there is no troops left in the northwest. They need to recruit more troops." There are only less than 70,000 troops left, which is too little. Even if they are strong in combat, 70,000 vs. 300,000 will lose the battle without fighting.

Luo Liang nodded.

Si Bonian said: "Your Majesty, a letter has been delivered from Pick City." There were several letters in a thick stack.

Opening the package, I saw that besides Yuxi's letter, there were also letters from Huo Changqing, Zao Zao and Brother Xuan. Huo Changqing and Zao Zao had written to Yun Qing before, but it was the first time for Brother Xuan.

Yunqing first opened Huo Changqing's letter to read. Huo Changqing said in the letter that to let Yunqing know his current identity, in this position, he must put the overall situation first, and can no longer be based on personal preferences.

After reading Huo Changqing's letter, Yun Qing fell silent. After a while, Yunqing opened Yuxi's letter. Yuxi's letter said that everything in Haocheng was fine, and told him not to worry about it, and finally asked him to take care of his health.

Yunqing put down the letter written by Yuxi and smiled wryly. Yuxi was not wrong about what happened to Yuwenhe, otherwise if Tanzhou was captured, not only more than 50,000 casualties would be caused, even if it was doubled, Tanzhou might not be able to be captured.

After adjusting his mood, Yun Qing opened Zao Zao's letter. Zao Zao's first sentence in the letter was 'Father, I miss you so much. Ah Hao, Liu Er and Brother Rui also miss you very much'. Then in the letter, tell me what she did with Brother Hao and Brother Rui's triplets during this time. She even told Yun Qing about beating Brother Yu again. This letter from Zao Zao reveals a cheerful atmosphere from the beginning to the end.

The last thing to open was Brother Xuan's letter. Although Brother Xuan doesn't like martial arts, it doesn't hinder his admiration and admiration for his father. This idea is also expressed in the letter. At the end of the letter, Brother Xuan said that he hoped that Yunqing could find a good weapon for them.

After reading Zaozao and Brother Xuan's letter, a smile appeared on Yunqing's face, and his heavy heart was swept away.

Yunqing's mood improved, and it was naturally Sibo Nian who discovered it first. Sibonian said with a smile: "The prince is so happy, but what is the happy event?"

Yun Qing said: "Brother Rui and the other three brothers want me to find a convenient weapon for them. It's not so easy to find such a convenient weapon. These brats will definitely give me problems." That's what it said Said, but the words are full of pride. He is a general, so he naturally hopes that his son will fight in the battlefield like him in the future. So what Brother Xuan said in the letter fit Yunqing's heart very well.

Si Bonian asked with a smile: "Second Young Master and the others know how to find good weapons at such a young age, the prince will not worry about it in the future. I just don't know what kind of weapon Second Young Master and the others like?" There are many types of weapons, and everyone has their own preferences .

A smile appeared on Yunqing's face: "The child is still young and has not yet settled down. If you like this sword today, you will like knives tomorrow. When you find a good one, save it for them first, and then give it to them when they grow up." Brother Rui has a lot of demands, bows and arrows, spears, good swords, good knives, anyway, as long as they are good, he wants them all.

I don't even think about whether he can hold a good weapon with his current size.

Unfortunately, Yunqing's good mood didn't last long. That night, he received a secret letter from Wu Kuo. Wu Kuo has also helped Yunqing and Yuxi inquire about information over the years, but his main duty is to make money in business.

After reading Wu Kuo's secret letter, Yun Qing looked dignified. Spreading out the map, Yun Qing said to Si Bonian, "Go and ask General Luo and General Yuan to come over."

The two generals came over soon, and seeing Yunqing's uneasy face, they knew that something might have changed.

As the two generals thought, there was indeed a change. Wu Kuo wrote in the letter that in the past two days at the port of Yongcheng, the government began to forcibly requisition commercial ships and civilian ships. Wu Kuo guessed that the government's requisition of these ships should be Yu Baojia's preparation for the transfer of property. If there is a war, these ships will be useless.

If it was just Yu Baojia who escaped, Yunqing would not have a sense of urgency. None of them knew how to fight in the water, and once the treasure was in the boat, they were helpless.

After listening to Yun Qing's analysis, the two generals said, "My lord, we must take down the Qiantang as soon as possible." Only by taking down the Qiantang as soon as possible can the fundamental problem be solved.

Yun Qing hummed and said: "Luo Liang, you take 50,000 soldiers and horses to attack Wu Xing."

Yun Qing himself was going to lead troops to attack Changshui, and ordered Du Zheng to lead troops back to help. In addition, let Fang Xing send troops from Xuancheng, let Xu Zhen send troops to attack Jiangxi. Xu Zhen was asked to send troops to contain Jiangxi's troops and prevent Jiangxi's troops from returning to aid.

Yun Qing was busy until midnight. Seeing this, Si Bonian said, "My lord, take a rest!" After dawn, the army was about to set off again and there was no time to rest.

Yunqing couldn't sleep: "I'm not sleepy." It was necessary to capture Qiantang in the fastest time. Otherwise, if Yu Baojia were to transport the belongings away, what they would get would be an empty city.

Wu Kuo not only wrote a secret letter to Yunqing, but also wrote a secret letter to Yuxi, telling Yuxi his guess.

After reading Wu Kuo's secret letter, Yu Xi said to Xu Wu: "Yu Baojia is going to transport the wealth he has accumulated over the years to the capital." Yu Xi was not surprised that Yu Baojia was planning to flee to the capital. He and Yan Wushuang are allies, and it is better to go to Yan Wushuang than to surrender to them.

Xu Wu's complexion changed, and he said, "It is said that Yu Baojia has accumulated wealth that is incomparable to any country. If all the money reaches the capital, it will be even more powerful for Yan Wushuang." Not a good thing for them.

Yu Xi hummed.

Xu Wu was a little anxious, but seeing Yuxi's expression as usual, he suppressed his anxiety and asked, "Princess, what can you do?"

Yuxi said: "There is no good way, but to capture Qiantang as soon as possible, so that Yu Baojia has no time to transfer property."

Xu Wu's face collapsed when he heard it: "Although Suzhou is only more than five hundred miles away from Qiantang, Qiantang has 500,000 elite soldiers from Yu Baojia, and Yu Baojia personally sits in the town and wants to capture Qiantang in a short time. It's not that easy." By the time the Qiantang was laid down, all the money would have been transported away.

Yu Xi nodded and said: "There is another way, to intercept these ships and prevent them from transporting gold and silver to the capital."

Xu Wu smiled bitterly and said, "Princess, we don't have anyone who knows how to fight in water." The soldiers in the northwest, from top to bottom, don't know how many can swim.

Yuxi said: "Not only do we have no one who knows how to fight in water, but we also don't have the conditions to fight in water." To fight in water, we must first have a boat. Now they don't have any boats, so what can they use to fight.

Xu Wu looked at Yu Xi and asked anxiously: "Is there no other way?" If the piles of gold and silver were really transferred by Yu Baojia, it would be tantamount to cutting flesh and bleeding!

Yuxi said: "We don't know how to fight in water, and we don't have the conditions to fight in water. It doesn't mean that others don't."

Hearing this, Xu Wu asked in surprise, "Princess, what do you say?"

Yu Xi said: "Fujian Chief Soldier Qiu Ye led sailors to attack pirates at the age of fifteen. If he is willing to send troops to intercept these ships, the success rate is still very high." The old man Qiu was the governor of southern Fujian, and Qiu's family was in the entire southern Fujian at that time. Earth emperor. However, after the death of Mrs. Qiu, the power of the Qiu family was greatly reduced due to the imperial court's suppression and internal strife. However, the skinny camel was bigger than the horse, and Qiu Ye was not incompetent, so he ended up entrenched in Fujian. The imperial court finally appointed Qiu Ye as the general soldier of Fujian.

Xu Wu said with some concern: "I'm afraid that this Qiu Ye will stand by and don't want to send troops." Although Qiu Ye is nominally the cousin of his own princess, the relative relationship related to interests can be put aside.

Yuxi said: "Such a large sum of money is tempting for individuals. As long as he knows the time and route of those ships going to sea, he will definitely send troops to intercept them."

Xu Wu understood: "Princess Wang wants to cooperate with Qiu Ye?" This is a good idea.

Yu Xi hummed and said: "Instead of cheap Yan Wushuang, I would rather cooperate with Qiu Ye. At least in this way, we can also get a part." If possible, she is not willing to share with others. But now the form is stronger than the person, so he can only take a step back.

Xu Wu nodded and said: "Princess, who should we send to be this lobbyist?"

Yu Xi looked at Xu Wu and said, "There is no way for us to send people there. There is no time. We can only let Wu Kuo be the lobbyist." They had to go through Jiangxi to send people to Fujian. But the problem is that Jiangxi is still in the hands of Baojia, and this matter is urgent. And Wu Kuo happened to be in Wuzhou, not far from Fujian.

Xu Wu hesitated: "Wu Kuo? Can he do it?"

Yu Xi said: "Wu Kuo is a businessman, and no one can talk about business better than him." To put it bluntly, her cooperation with Qiu Ye is actually a transaction.

After a pause, Yu Xi continued: "The worst thing is that Qiu Ye refused. For us, this is just going back to the original point."

Xu Wu felt that this idea was not a good idea, and after thinking about it for a while, he still said what he said from the bottom of his heart: "Princess, when we conquer Jiangnan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Fujian will follow. If Qiu Ye gets this money, wouldn't it strengthen him power?" Qiu Ye's power will increase, and it will be more difficult for them to attack Fujian.

Yuxi smiled and said: "Solve the immediate problem first, and talk about the Fujian matter later." Every dispatch of troops is a huge waste. In this regard, Yuxi wanted to solve Fujian peacefully, and there were already candidates to be sent to Fujian as lobbyists, his eldest brother Han Jianming.

Han Jianming and Qiu Ye are direct cousins, and they grew up together. They have a very good relationship. He has been in contact with Qiu Ye all these years. But it's hard for her to express this idea for the time being. Because all of this must be based on the foundation of laying down Jiangnan.

Xu Wu glanced at Yuxi in surprise, the princess always thinks long-term, why is she so short-sighted this time. But seeing that Yuxi didn't seem to explain, he didn't ask any more questions, nodded and said, "Okay."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dignified, Yuxi said with a smile: "Did Zao Zao pester you to ask about the battle ahead?"

Xu Wu nodded and said: "Yes. The princess and the son will ask each other every day, and I will tell them what I know." After speaking, Xu Wu raised his head and asked, "Princess, is there something wrong?"

Yuxi smiled and said: "There is nothing wrong. They told me that I don't have time." She has to take care of government affairs and worry about the war ahead, so she really doesn't have that much energy to take care of the children.

Xu Wu smiled and said: "The princess and the son are sensible children, and they will not blame the princess."

Yuxi hummed: "The children are very sensible." Brother Rui and the three brothers are also very well-behaved during this period, not only no longer accompany her, but also ask her to pay attention not to be too tired.

Yuxi's handwritten handwriting arrived in Wu Kuo's hands at noon on the third day. After Wu Kuo finished reading, he immediately ordered the boat to be prepared, and he was going to Rongcheng.

Wu Shun knew Wu Kuo's purpose of going to Rongcheng, and said anxiously: "Master, this matter is too dangerous, let's push it away!" If you are not careful, you will lose your head.

Wu Kuo said with a smile: "What's so dangerous about this? At most, this deal won't be done." As Yuxi said, this is a deal. It's good to have a good talk, and Qiu Ye won't kill him if they can't.

Wu Shun said with a bitter face: "Even if Qiu's family is easy to talk and won't do anything to us, the people of King Yan will not let us go." Without thinking about it, Yan Wushuang must have a lot of people in Fujian. As soon as they arrive in Fujian, these people will kill them.

Wu Kuo said: "I've taken ninety-nine steps, and I'm only short of this last step. You want me to go back now?" He defected to Yunqing and Yuxi back then, and worked hard to make money for them all these years. Now that it was time for a good harvest, but he retreated from the battle, wouldn't he suffer a miserable loss in this business.

Looking at Wu Kuo's indifferent expression, Wu Shun knew that nothing could dispel his thoughts: "Master, there are so many people under Princess Pingxi, why do you have to take risks?" His master has been working hard for them all these years and has no credit for it. There is also hard work, but this is how Princess Pingxi repays their master. It is really chilling to think about it.

Wu Kuo said: "Princess Pingxi has already said in the letter that her people in Fujian will keep me safe. After the matter is settled, Qiu Ye will also send someone to protect me."

Seeing that Wu Kuo had made up his mind, Wu Shun said, "I'll go with the master." Wu Kuo recruited many good players by his side. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to travel all over the world in this last world. And this is also his confidence.

Wu Kuo went to Rongcheng by boat that day. (to be continued)
