Chapter 598 Surrender
Xu Wu walked in, handed Yuxi a booklet, and said, "My lord, my concubine, this is sent by Guan Tai's people in a hurry. I didn't pay attention when I just took it, and a letter was pulled out from it. I read it Excuse me, that letter is from Lu Lin to the prince."
Yuxi was a little surprised: "Lu Lin? Bring it here and show it to me." Lu Lin is currently working in Shu, and writing to Yunqing is a very abnormal thing in itself.
Yun Qing opened the letter and handed it to Yu Xi after reading it, saying, "Lu Lin wants to surrender."
After reading it, Yu Xi asked Yun Qing in silence: "What do you think about this?" She can manage the Northwest, but it depends on Yun Qing to open up the territory. If Yunqing didn't have this thought, it would be useless for more people to surrender.
Xu Wu is also a confidant, Yunqing did not avoid him, and said directly: "When the time is right, send troops." Yunqing has no intention of dominating the world, but after this natural disaster, he changed his mind. In this drought, only more than 30,000 people died in the northwest. Before he raised his army, even in a year with good weather, more than this number of people died in the Northwest. The imperial court is already rotten. If the people are not to be exploited to live a peaceful life, there is only one way, which is to turn these places into their husband and wife's territory.
Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay, she doesn't need to persuade her any more. I remember that the last time Yunqing was asked to raise troops, she had done ideological work for two full years, and her mouth was almost worn out.
Xu Wu was stunned for a moment, then said: "My lord, there are a lot of messes in several places in Shanxi. If I take over this mess, I'm afraid it won't be enough to wipe out all my family money."
Yuxi was on Yunqing's side this time, and said: "The Northwest was also a mess before, but we have managed them well now." It was rare that Yunqing offered to send troops, and she was not willing to pour cold water on Yunqing.
Xu Wu said: "I'm just afraid that the lord and the concubine will be tired." Yun Qing is in good health and will recover soon after being tired. On the other hand, Yuxi's health is not very good, if the work is too heavy, she will probably be exhausted.
Yuxi smiled and said: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, and it is more difficult in the first year. After a year, things are on the right track, and it will be easy."
Yun Qing said: "I mean to send troops when the time is right, not to send troops now." In the current situation, he is not out of his mind, how could he send troops.
Xu Wu nodded and backed out.
After thinking for a while, Yu Xi asked, "When did you think about sending troops?" But she didn't leak a word before.
Yun Qing said: "Henan and other provinces are plagued by drought and locusts, but the imperial court did not allocate money to relieve the disaster, and only sent a few imperial envoys. If the common people depend on the imperial court, they may not be able to plow in the spring next year." No farming , indicating that there is no food to eat, and the situation will be worse than it is now.
Yuxi heard Yunqing's implication: "You mean to take both Henan and Shanxi provinces before spring plowing?"
Yun Qing shook his head and said: "This is not guaranteed. However, Shanxi and Henan were severely affected by disasters, and the imperial court did not provide relief. I lead troops to attack, and they should be able to take them down soon. If it was before the drought, Yun Qing dare not say Such a big talk. But now that the situation is special, he has enough confidence. It's just that the war is changing rapidly, and there is no 100% guarantee.
Yuxi thought for a while, took out the map from the shelf and spread it out on the desk, pointed to the map and said: "He Zhizhang is useless, the two generals under him who can fight also have their own ideas; and in Shu we have Lu Lin is the internal response. It is not difficult to win these two places."
Yun Qing looked up at Yu Xi, and said after a while: "Hubei is not difficult, but it is not easy to occupy Shu land, even if Lu Lin is willing to be an internal response."
Yu Xi said very simply: "Then solve the easy ones first, and put the difficult ones later." After finishing speaking, she pointed to two places and said: "Anhui and Jiangsu are just next door to Henan.
If there is a chance to occupy them, we will no longer have to buy food in the future. "Yuxi is going to eat all the six surrounding provinces in one bite.
Yun Qing was silent, Yu Xi was going to occupy most of the south! Yun Qing said: "This matter has to be done slowly, and it cannot be rushed." There are many things to prepare for the war, and the drought in the Northwest has not yet completely passed. Send troops, at least after New Year's Eve.
Yuxi nodded and said: "This is just my idea, everything depends on God's will." If God takes pity on the rain and allows them to plant seeds smoothly before November, then they can send troops. If the drought continues, it will be impossible to talk about sending troops.
Yun Qing thought for a while and said to Yu Xi: "Beiyao will make big moves, so the soldiers and horses in the border towns cannot move. In addition to the 100,000 soldiers and horses recruited this time, I can only mobilize thirty-five Thousands of horses." The soldiers and horses of Xihai and Yucheng were not allowed to move.
Yuxi is not worried about this, she can recruit troops at any time if there are not enough people, but Yuxi did not continue this topic: "I don't know anything about war, so do what you think you can do well!" Facing Tan Tuo and others , she is Princess Pingxi who gives orders from above, but in front of Yunqing, she is just his wife who helps him deal with matters and the mother of the child. This scale is difficult to grasp, but Yuxi has done a good job so far. The husband and wife have not had any disputes in government affairs in the past two years.
Zao Zao looked at Yun Qing and Yu Xi, and said cheerfully: "Mother, I took a rose bath today, and it was very comfortable." Because of the drought, the water source is extremely precious. In other words, Qi Hao and Brother Rui take a bath every night. The others all brought basins of water to wipe their bodies, and would not take a luxurious bath.
Yuxi smiled and said: "You are willing to take a bath in such a hot day?" Zaozao, a small stove, wished to nest in ice cubes in summer, but she did not expect that she would be willing to take a hot bath today.
Zao Zao touched her Baotou and said, "Liu'er said that I have a peculiar smell on my body, and the smell can only be eliminated by taking a rose bath. But after the bath, I feel refreshed and very comfortable. Mother, I I will take flower baths frequently in the future."
Yuxi was in a particularly good mood, and said: "As long as you can get dried roses from your sister, I won't stop you soaking them every day." In fact, there are all kinds of dried petals in the mansion, and Yuxi deliberately teased Zaozao by saying this.
Zao Zao shook his head and said, "Soaking once every three to five days is enough, there is no need to soak every day."
While talking, the sound of a baby crying came from the room. Yuxi and Yunqing walked in hurriedly, and saw Brother Yu lying on the bed crying loudly.
Yu Xi hugged Brother You in her arms and coaxed him for a while, but she didn't let him stop crying. Seeing this, Yun Qing stretched out his hand and said, "Give me a hug!"
Yuxi coaxed him for half an hour, but Brother Yu was still crying. Cui Runiang, who was feeding Brother Yu, said cautiously: "My lord, let the slaves come!"
Hearing this, Yuxi glanced at her mother-in-law, and said lightly: "The prince and I are here, you go down!" Yuxi is most sensitive to two things, one is that she covets Yunqing, and the other is that it will affect She is attached to the child. She has no tolerance for either of these types of people.
The naughty girl looked at Brother Yu who was crying pitifully, hesitated for a moment, but said boldly: "Princess, when Brother Yu cries, you must be coaxed by your slaves, otherwise you will cry all the time."
If what the girl said just now just made Yuxi feel a little uncomfortable, but now these words have touched Yuxi's rebellious scales. What does it mean that Brother You must be coaxed by her to stop crying, and no one else can, so could it be that she and Yun Qing are just a show? During this time, because of the drought, she and Yunqing neglected to take care of the triplets, but Yunqing and she are the parents of the children, and no one can surpass them as husband and wife.
Yuxi was born into a wealthy family, and she heard and saw a lot that the child was as close to the mother-in-law as a mother and son, but she was very strange to her mother-in-law. Coupled with the shadow of her rǔniang before, Yuxi has a special taboo on the creature of rǔniang. Of course, if the mother-in-law is peaceful, Yuxi won't hate her either. Like Nie Runiang, Yuxi not only didn't say a single harsh word, but even rewarded her twice.
Yu Xi said coldly: "If you are told to retreat, then you will retreat. Where did all this nonsense come from? Didn't anyone teach you the rules before entering the mansion?"
Cui Ruiniang was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Princess forgive me, slaves deserve to die."
Seeing the act of urging the girl, Yuxi's mood became worse, and fortunately Brother Yu was only a five-month-old child. If she is five years old and the governor, Cui Runiang's behavior will definitely cause a estrangement between mother and child. Thinking of this, Yu Xi said angrily: "Get out."
After more than three years in power, Yuxi's momentum has become more and more powerful. Now that she is angry, not to mention urging her mother, an ordinary woman can't stand it, even the officials below are terrified when they see it. Cui Runiang went out crying and crying.
Regarding Cui Ruiniang's words just now, Yun Qing didn't feel comfortable listening to them, so he didn't make a sound when Yu Xi lost his temper.
Brother Yu heard Cui Runiang crying, and she cried even louder. Even brothers Rui and Xuan started crying.
The cry of the child made Yuxi calm down quickly. Busy leaned over and picked up Brother Xuan, while Brother Rui was hugged and coaxed by Mother Lan.
Brother Rui and Brother Xuan are very obedient, and they won't cry when coaxed. Brother Yu, on the other hand, was still crying.
Yuxi took the child from Yunqing's hand and hummed a little song softly. Listening to the nice little song, Brother You stopped crying, and stared at Yuxi intently with a pair of peach blossom eyes.
Handing the child to Yunqing, Yuxi asked Aunt Quan: "Brother Rui and his brother are five months old, can they eat solid food?" Generally, children don't eat solid food until they are half a year old, but there are exceptions. Like Zao Zao and Qi Hao, they both started to eat complementary food when they were more than five months old.
Sister Quan nodded and said, "You can have some rice soup, but you can still eat milk water. What's wrong with you today? You lost your temper so much." This rain has been expected for several months, so Yuxi should be in a very good mood That's right.
Yu Xi said with a cold face: "She said that only she can coax Brother Yu to cry, and it's useless for others to coax him. I don't know, but I thought she was Brother Yu's mother!"
Mother Quan knew that Yuxi's expression changed when she heard this, and said: "During this time, it is difficult for the children to see you, and they are unfamiliar with you. When the drought is over, you have to spare more time to accompany them .”
Yuxi nodded, and didn't say anything about Ruiniang Cui, she believed that Nanny Quan would handle it well.
