Song Liyun took the letter and quickly glanced at the end of the letter. The signature was a private seal: Military Office of the Garrison Mansion.
It's not a letter from Zhao Tingduo.
There wasn't much content on the letter, only about ten lines. Song Liyun's expression changed and his brows jumped. He put away the letter but didn't say much. He just asked Fang Zheng to go down and have a good rest. The prisoners in the city and the patrol camp still needed him to manage.
.
After Fang Zheng stepped back, Song Liyun quickly handed the letter to Mr. Yu: "Old Yu, please read it quickly!"
Mr. Yu took it and only read a few words before his expression changed. He immediately jumped up and said excitedly: "This, is this true?
Ah! Ah! Ah!
Ah! The Zhenbei Army finally waited until today... What a good game!
Hey! I didn’t expect that I would be lucky enough to become a person in the history books!”
Mr. Yu had already begun to speak incoherently.
If the roaring iron bumps outside Mida City three days ago gave him confidence, this letter in his hand only added to his expectations.
The letter was from the military camp of the garrison. The content was very simple: the Zhenbei Army had suppressed the invasion, and Zhao Tingduo had entered the Xuyang Grassland as the vanguard.
This was the first time in decades that the Wu Dynasty took the initiative to enter the Xuyang Grassland, and it was an army of six thousand.
When had the Wu Dynasty ever been so stubborn? Every time it was harassed and plundered, it could only defend the border and fortify the fortress.
Even when An Guogong was at the border, he only led his troops to expel and fight within a hundred miles, and never entered Xuyang Grassland.
Song Liyun didn't understand the many years of twists and turns. She only cared about how Zhao Tingduo, with only a thousand people, could face the already-allied Wang Tingjun: "Old Yu, why didn't the city lord come with the letter?"
Since the garrison office delivers letters, Zhao Tingduo should also be able to write letters. Why not briefly report that he is safe?
Mr. Yu knows military affairs well, and now that he has the contents of the letter, he just pondered for a moment and made a general inference about the situation at hand.
He dismissed the maid and whispered to Song Liyun: "The third young master should have entered the Xuyang Grassland long ago.
There has been no news for more than 20 days because I was worried that the news would leak out and my traces would be hidden."
Having said this, he glanced at Song Liyun and said meaningfully: "Young madam, since we have learned about the third young master, what we have to do now is to strictly guard Mida City and wait for good news!"
How to stabilize the border has been a major matter for emperors of all dynasties.
An Guogong had previously thought about supporting tribesmen to manage the grasslands as assistants, but he was worried about the dangers of raising tigers and was heavily on guard.
Even though his relationship with the Uda tribe was extraordinary, he never really felt at ease.
Lord Guard is still brave enough to join forces with his brothers to pursue a great cause.
When the Third Young Master withdrew from Xia Shiguan and conquered the Mida Valley, he relied on the Leizi Camp.
According to initial speculation, it would take at least another twenty years before the Uda tribe would be able to fully control the Mida Valley.
But now not only have the tribes in the Mida Valley basically surrendered, and there is a steady stream of people coming in, but also coal, iron, and copper mines have been found.
We are getting closer and closer to our goal!
To be able to achieve it so quickly is inseparable from a variable.
That was the sudden appearance of Mida City, or the sudden appearance of the city lord's wife.
Due to its favorable location, Mida City is located in the middle of the Dilu Grassland. It is like a nail that separates the Mida Valley from the Xuyang Grassland, and is closely connected with the Wu Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, after just a few years of operation, Mida River Valley was able to fortify the city from a blank land, and now it was able to repel the invasion of Wang Tingjun.
The more Mr. Yu thought about it, the more excited he became: If the Third Young Master can lead the troops to capture the Xuyang Grassland, and then be established as the King of the Grassland, the young lady will be the Queen...
No, I can’t think about it!
Mr. Yu also didn't expect that he would pick up the power of embracing the dragon.
Concerned about Zhao Tingduo, Song Liyun was not as excited as Mr. Yu.
Every victory on the battlefield is accompanied by casualties, and no general can always win.
She felt that the unpredictable political situation was like a game of chess.
It's too early to think about who is holding the chess piece in this game and who will be the final winner. She only knows that Mida City and Xuyang Grassland have already formed a hatred.
Zhao Tingduo and the Zhenbei Army took the initiative for eternal peace.
It seems that arms production should be accelerated!
It's just that this plan hasn't been mentioned to Mr. Yu yet.
That afternoon, an emergency report came from outside the city: "Mrs. Wuya is here!"
When Song Liyun came out of the city lord's mansion, he saw a horse riding Juechen coming from the city gate.
Mrs. Wuya is wearing a red shirt and looks elegant.
When the horse was still ten feet away from Song Liyun, Mrs. Wu Ya reined in the horse and stopped, turned over and dismounted.
He quickly came over and stretched out his hand to lift up Song Liyun who was about to kneel down: "You are inconvenient, so there is no need to salute."
Song Liyun didn't show any pretense and stood up straight: "A-niang!"
"You silly kid, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier? I, I really should have come earlier!"
Mrs. Wuya's tone was worried and angry. She had received a report from Aqiya that Mida City was in danger, so she urgently brought people over from Kara Mountain.
Over and over again, traveling under the stars and at night is the most dangerous time to miss.
Song Liyun smiled bitterly: Kara Mountain is four days away from Mida City. There is a blast furnace mine there, and it is not as important as Mida City.
She asked Aqiya to send someone to deliver the message, but only asked Mrs. Wuya to take precautions and did not want reinforcements.
Fortunately, everyone is doing well now, and Mrs. Wu Ya is here too. Song Liyun did not explain much and only asked the tired Mrs. Wu to wash up and rest first.
Mrs. Wu Ya came this time to bring hundreds of horses.
They are also the elite soldiers who have been trained from the surrounding tribes over the years to guard the blast furnace.
As soon as they arrived at Mida City, they merged with the patrol battalion led by Fang Zheng and carried out the tedious aftermath of the battlefield a few days ago.
In the city lord's mansion, Mrs. Wu Ya finally saw the letter sent from the Hecheng garrison mansion.
She slammed the letter on the desk, gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "In the Wu Dynasty, Zhao Yanjiao never forgot his loyalty to the emperor and protector, and now he has sent my son to the battlefield without even spreading any news in advance.
.
If A Shi has any good intentions, even if he goes to the capital, I will whip that old man a few times and drag him to death together!"
Mrs. Wu Ya was obviously very dissatisfied with the Wu Dynasty Zhenbei Army who went without telling her. If she didn't care about Zhao Tinglei, this debt would naturally be remembered by Zhao Yanjiao.
Who knows that he is both An Guogong who assists in government affairs and Zhao Tingduo's biological father? It's hard to get rid of the anger in your heart without scolding him.
When Mr. Yu heard that An Guogong was being scolded, his face flushed red, and he bowed to the side and said kind words: "Madam, please calm down, the third young master is a cautious person, and he has the skills to do it, so nothing will happen to him!"
"The situation is constantly changing. Mr. An Guo must have been unpredictable even though he was far away in the capital, so he didn't tell his wife."
Mrs. Wu Ya did not argue with Mr. Yu, but just snorted: "He'd better pray for Ash's safety once a day!"
The scene was once embarrassing!
On the other side, Song Liyun hurriedly spoke: "Ashi's personal guards are all carefully selected, and Abu Wudan is here. They will be safe together.
But here I am, Aniang. Now that my daughter-in-law is pregnant, and Ashi is away on an expedition, there are too many trivial matters in Mida City, and I am still waiting for Aniang to help take care of them."
Now that things have happened, Mrs. Wu Ya blames the Wu Dynasty imperial court and An Guogong to no avail. If word spreads, people will misunderstand that the two are at odds with each other.
Sure enough, after hearing that there were many affairs in Mida City to be busy with, and thinking that her daughter-in-law was pregnant, Mrs. Wu Ya could no longer control her temper by scolding her father-in-law.
She softened her tone, showed a smile and consoled her: "Ayun, from today on, you just have to worry about raising the baby. I will stay with you in Mida City until Ashi comes back!"
