Chapter 396 Capture the West Sea (2)

It took Yunqing more than a month to lead his troops to approach Timur's lair. Timur was very cunning and used his geographical advantages to frequently set traps for them. Thanks to Yunqing's prudent actions, he was not fooled, but he also suffered a lot.

Cui Mo is gearing up for revenge.

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

Yun Qing pointed to a place on the map and said: "According to the news from scouts, only this place has the weakest defense."

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

Yun Qing said: "Bring enough grass and boards, you should be able to pass." This so-called dangerous place is actually a deep mud pit, and people are easy to get stuck in it when walking down. So this road is subconsciously avoided during wars, but Yunqing prefers to go to Shushan.

Feng Dajun shook his head and said worriedly: "I'm afraid the grass won't work!" If the silt is too deep, it's useless to spread grass.

Yun Qing said: "If it's useless, I won't be late if I withdraw." Anyway, there is no defense here, and I don't worry about being ambushed.

On the second day, Feng Dajun and Cui Mo took 10,000 horses and stayed there waiting for the signal. Yunqing brought 30,000 horses to go around the deep mud pit, threw the bundles of grass into the mud, and then spread wide planks on top. Let someone try it first, and found that it will not fall if you step on it.

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

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

Timur's army was fighting Yu Cong, when an enemy army suddenly appeared behind them, and they were soon defeated. It didn't take long for Yunqing to occupy Yuze City.

By now, most of Xihai's territory had fallen into Yunqing's hands. Yunqing handed over the unoccupied territory to Feng Dajun. Yunqing started to take care of Xihai's internal affairs. If he wanted to keep Xihai safe and sound, the barbarians must be recruited. Needless to say Yuxi, Yunqing also knew that if these barbarians were not settled properly, there would be constant troubles in Xihai. In addition, the matter of the racecourse had to be started. There are a lot of good horses here, so he has to search for some good horses to breed.

Taking time out, Yunqing went to Xihaihu. Standing on a high place, looking at the vast, flat and endless grassland, I can't help but feel better.

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

Yun Qing said with a smile: "This place alone is enough." Tens of thousands of horses can be raised here, so there is no need to build two horse farms. Money will be tight, so build a racecourse first.

A group of people rode to the side of Xihai Lake. The misty and blue waters of Xihai Lake are like a huge emerald jade plate inlaid between the mountains and the plains.

Yu Cong looked at it and couldn't help feeling: "No wonder this lake is called a fairy lake, isn't it a fairyland on earth!" Such a beautiful scenery is not the place where immortals live.

Yun Qing is also in a good mood: "If Madam comes here, I'm afraid she won't want to go back to Pick City again." Such a beautiful scenery, even he was dumbfounded, let alone Yu Xi.

After staying in Xihaihu for three days, Yun Qing returned to Yanzhou City. Gao Song handed the letter from Haocheng to Yunqing and said, "General, Madam's letter."

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

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

Yun Qing didn't wait for Yu Cong to ask,

He smiled and said: "A batch of gold has been mined from the gold mine. The color is good and the quantity is not bad." Mining gold can also greatly relieve their pressure. Starting to occupy the northwest, he really didn't think too much about it. But Yuxi has been telling 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 the people, and seeks a better place for the people. After hearing a lot, the pressure is also great. !

Yu Cong was also very happy: "This is really good news." Yu Cong knew that money is very tight now, and Madam wished that a penny of money could be broken into two flowers.

The corner of Yunqing's mouth raised. Speaking of which, the amount of gold mined by the gold mine this time is quite a lot, which is partly due to Yunqing. Before Yunqing captured the prisoners, he executed them directly. Because of Yuxi's nagging, all the captives stayed in this war and sent them to the mine. The gold mine and the copper mine are severely short of people, and these people just solve the urgent need.

The smooth war in the West Sea is a good thing for Yunqing and Yuxi, but it is definitely a bad thing for the emperor. Then I saw Lu Boda asking for money, and my mood was extremely bad.

Seeing the emperor's unexpected look, Yuchen didn't ask any further questions, but just brewed a cup of Maofeng tea for him: "Have a sip of tea, take it easy." The emperor likes to drink Maofeng tea.

The emperor took a sip, put down the teacup, and said, "Yunqing has occupied the West Sea." By occupying one more place, Yunqing's power has increased by one point. It was even harder.

Yuchen thought of what Yuxi said in his reply, and his expression was not very good. She didn't expect that Yuxi not only wanted the jurisdiction of the northwest, but also wanted the emperor to make Yunqing king. Yuchen knew very well how harmful this king with a different surname was. How could she agree to such a condition. Yuchen thought about it for a long time, and said: "Your Majesty, if Yan Wushuang can be allowed to calm down the northwest, the situation will definitely improve." Yan Wushuang and Yunqing are both serious worries. If he led his troops to the northwest to suppress the rebellion, he would lose both sides in a fight with Yunqing, and the court would also be able to reap the benefits.

The emperor said: "The idea is very good, but it is difficult to realize." Yan Wushuang was not stupid, and it was impossible for him to accept this errand.

Yuchen said: "Your Majesty, it's up to people to do it. If Yan Wushuang doesn't agree now, it doesn't mean he will never agree." If you deny it without doing it, there will never be a possibility of success.

At this moment, Nanny Gui said outside: "Your Majesty, Empress, please see Yu Niangniang." This Yu Niangniang refers to Yu Xiyu. After Zhou Xuan's death, Yu Xiyu fell ill. Even in her illness, Yu Xiyu cried all day long.

The emperor said in a cold voice: "Please come in." With Yu Xiyu's actions, no one except the emperor suspected that the person who died was a double, even Yan Wushuang did not have the slightest doubt.

Yu Xiyu came here this time to bid farewell to the emperor and Yuchen. She also knew that she couldn't disappear without a reason, otherwise Yan Wushuang would still be suspicious. Therefore, Yu Xiyu proposed to go to Lingshan Temple to become a monk to pray for the late emperor and Zhou Xuan. It wasn't that Yu Xiyu was cautious, but that she was really afraid of Yan Wushuang. Except for Zhou Xuan who was sent away, all the other children of the former emperor had accidents.

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

The emperor nodded in agreement, and said to Yuchen: "You can arrange this matter!" In fact, the emperor was also very helpless. An accident happened to the heirs of the late emperor. Although it was not his fault, it was his acquiescence. Because this was the condition that Yan Wushuang put forward at the beginning. That's why he replaced Zhou Xuan as soon as he returned to the capital. As for Zhou Xuan's substitute, it was found by the previous emperor a long time ago.

Yuchen walked over, helped Yu Xiyu to sit down, and said, "Sister-in-law, your body is still very weak. It won't be too late to go to Lingshan Temple when you recover." As Yu Xiyu, there are only two ways. Either be locked up in the mansion for a lifetime without leaving home, or be accompanied by the ancient Buddha with blue lanterns for a lifetime. In fact, the two options are essentially the same. Not to mention that Yu Xiyu is the queen, even other concubines can't remarry, they can only stay like this for the rest of their lives.

Yu Xiyu shook his head and said, "Empress, it's not convenient for me to live in the harem for a long time. I have already asked them to pack their things, and I will go to Lingshan Temple tomorrow." Stay in Lingshan Temple for a while, and wait for Yan Wushuang to stop doubting If so, she feigned death to reunite with her son. She has no other thoughts now, she just wants to bring up her son, marry her son a wife, and live a peaceful life.

Seeing that Yu Xi's words had been decided, Yuchen didn't say anything more.

After sending Yu Xiyu away, Yuchen sighed and said, "The world is unpredictable." Yu Xiyu had enjoyed a high reputation when she was a girl, and after marrying the Ninth Prince, she won the envy and jealousy of many people, but she never expected that she would To such a point.

Nanny Gui said: "Your Majesty, don't think too much about it. Master Liao Tong said that Your Majesty is very rich!" This meant that Yuchen would not be as unlucky as Yu Xiyu.

But Yuchen was no longer willing to listen to the monk's words: "Didn't he say that Yuxi was dying? Do you think his words can be trusted?" Yuxi is living a more comfortable life now than anyone else.

Speaking of this, Yuchen remembered what Qiu said before: "I remember my aunt once said that Huiyuan's major events were also shown to Yuxi. Master Huiyuan said that Yuxi is bitter before sweet." Followed Compared with Monk Tong, Master Huiyuan's comments are more accurate.

Just as he was saying this, he heard Shiqin say that the grandma of the Duke's mansion had entered the palace and was waiting outside the palace. This time it was Mrs. Gao who was Jianjun's wife. Because Jianjun was murdered by the Qiao family back then, although his life was saved, his leg was lame. Without fame and becoming a cripple, this daughter-in-law will naturally be difficult to find. Gao's background is not low, her father is a seventh-rank official, but he is a concubine, so he will marry Han Jianjun. However, Gao's temperament is soft, and he is not taken seriously at home, and there is no grievance in marrying Han Jianjun, and the husband and wife are also harmonious and beautiful.

Yuchen took the sign yesterday and asked Gao to come over today: "Please come in, Grandma Gao!" Yuchen didn't hate this younger sibling, but he didn't like it either.

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

When Yuchen heard that Han Jingyan wanted to marry Yu's family, he immediately rejected it: "Xiang Yu is seriously ill and can't afford it. If it is a girl who is destined for Yu's family, it will take three years for Jiancheng to get married." Although Gao is a good person, he is too capable. Poor, they can't manage the family at all, and as for the Wen family, they can't even get on the stage. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to get married after three years. What's more, Yu Xiang saw that it was only these days, and no one could predict what the future of the Yu family would be.

Gao Shi was only in charge of passing on the message, and she couldn't intervene in other things.

Yuchen said with a headache, "I know about Jiancheng's marriage." Yuchen already has a candidate, but he hasn't found the right opportunity to tell the emperor. (to be continued)
