Zhou Man turned his head and said to Mingda: "Tug it quickly, or he will fly away in a while."
Bai Erlang: "Why should I fly away?"
Mingda chuckled and said, "Because the cowhide is too big."
Bai Erlang shook his head and said: "You are just jealous. Come on, Dabao'er, eldest sister, tell me, was I extremely popular just now?"
The two children nodded together.
Ming Da and Zhou Man watched him causing trouble with his two children.
During the ten-day field holiday, the happiest people were Zhou Man and his two children.
She had more free time. Not only did she get enough rest, she also took her two children, Bai Jingxing and Bai Ruoyu, to visit the streets and alleys of the capital. The harvest was huge.
When it was time to collect the leave, Zhou Man was still a little restless and sat in the main hall in a daze.
Zhao Guogong came out and said: "Your Majesty, there is a military report from Qingzhou. Baekje invaded the Beisha City area. Magistrate Bai of Beihai County assisted Qingzhou Governor Liu to send troops to defeat the enemy. He captured more than 800 enemy leaders and repelled the Baekje rebel army."
Zhou Man suddenly woke up. He first turned his head and glanced at Yang Heshu beside him. When he saw him nodding, he sat up straight and raised his ears to listen carefully.
The emperor asked: "What are the casualties of our army?"
"President Liu was well prepared, so the casualties were not heavy. One hundred and sixty-eight people were killed and more than three hundred injured."
The emperor felt relieved, and then said with a cold face: "Baekje dares to violate our borders. Ask the envoy to question Baekje."
"Yes," Zhao Guogong paused and said, "Who does your Majesty think is suitable?"
Li Shangshu immediately suggested: "Your Majesty, I think Chaosan Dafu Wang is very suitable."
Zhou Man blinked, here he comes, here he comes, Li Shangshu comes wearing a mask of revenge...
Li Shangshu had long been dissatisfied with Master Wang. He brought back an eminent monk from Tianzhu to recommend to the emperor. In Li Shangshu's opinion, he was almost like a sycophant. Now, although Luo Er has been expelled, Master Wang has nothing to do.
As soon as Li Shangshu finished speaking, Lord Wang, who was sitting behind the ministers, stood up and walked out of the queue, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to go!"
The emperor nodded and said: "Okay! Then I will appoint Wang Qing as the envoy of the mission. When I go to Baekje, I must maintain the relationship between the two countries."
Mr. Wang agrees.
At the end of the court meeting, Yang Heshu helped Zhou Man up and said with a smile: "Let's go to the Imperial Study Room together?"
Zhou Man: "Your Majesty didn't call me."
Yang Heshu thought for a while and then said: "Then you wait for me at Tai Hospital, and wait until I come out to tell you the news."
Zhou Man nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, senior brother."
Yang Heshu and several other ministers went to see the emperor. They still had to discuss whether Qingzhou should continue to use troops.
This depends on the specific content on Qingzhou Zhezi.
Xiao Yuan was returning to the Imperial Hospital with Zhou Man. Seeing her distraught appearance, he said, "Don't worry, since Duke Zhao didn't say anything at the court meeting, Master Bai should be safe."
Zhou Man: "I'm not worried about this, I just feel a little strange."
"What's weird?"
Zhou Man thought for a while and then shook his head, "Nothing."
Last year, Governor Liu just sent troops to suppress the bandits and scattered the bandits at sea. All the sea bandits suffered heavy casualties. The morale of the Jin Dynasty at sea was high, and Baekje was not stupid. How could it attack the Jin Dynasty at this time?
She always felt a little weird.
Yang Heshu didn't come over until lunch, so Zhou Man asked the palace attendant for an extra meal, and they talked while eating.
Yang He wrote: "Your Majesty asked Qingzhou to continue to use troops to drive all the invading Baekje people out of Liaodong. However, they are not allowed to pursue them, and peace is still the main thing."
Zhou Man asked: "Is there any mention in the booklet about why Baekje violated the border?"
Yang Heshu said: "Speaking of it, he has something to do with Bai Shan. He taught the salt drying method to Liaodong County, and Liaodong dried salt in the Beisha City area. Unfortunately, many years ago, the northern Mohe invaded the border, and the Liaodong army went northward.
The enemy, most of the soldiers and horses left behind were deployed in Pyongyang to guard against Silla and Baekje. Who knew that Baekje would bypass Pyongyang and invade Bishacheng from the sea, with the goal of seizing the salt from the salt field."
Yang Heshu paused and then looked at Zhou Man and said: "The book said that a merchant ship out to sea accidentally saw Baekje's warship, so it rushed back to Beihai County to report the news. Bai Shan asked Liu Jishi to send troops, but outflanked them from behind, and
The defenders of Beesa Castle attacked from both sides and defeated the Baekje rebels."
Zhou Man: "It sounds pretty smooth."
Yang Heshu nodded, "Yes, it went very smoothly."
The two looked at each other and said nothing.
Yang Heshu finished his meal, took a sip of tea to rinse his mouth, and then said: "This time Liu and Bai Shan both made great contributions. When the battle is over, Liu will concurrently serve as the governor of Jian'an Prefecture and will only be in charge of military affairs."
Zhou Man was speechless, "Jian'an Prefecture and Qingzhou are separated by a sea. Can Liu Governor be busy enough?"
Yang Heshu said nonchalantly: "Those who are capable should work harder. Your Majesty feels that Liu's ability lies in leading troops in battles, so he has been instructed to hand over the government affairs of Qingzhou to his subordinates."
"What about Bai Shan?"
Yang Heshu looked at her and smiled: "Your Majesty asked him to return to Beijing to report on his duties after the war."
Seeing her happiness, Yang Heshu couldn't help but laugh and said: "He has made great contributions to Beihai County in the past few years. He just wiped out the pirates last year, and assisted Liu Governor to win the battle this year. Let him stay in Beihai County again."
It would be too much of an indignity to go down. He has made so many contributions, and if he is not recalled now, or if he is recalled later, it will be difficult to give him the position."
Zhou Man grinned widely, clenched his fists and asked, "Then he will be able to return to Beijing soon?"
Yang Heshu: "Look at their actions."
His eyes swept over her belly and he lowered his eyes and said, "I hope he can come back in time."
At this time, Bai Shan was standing on the beach looking at the sea. Liu Governor came over in military uniform. He followed his gaze and saw a vast sea. He asked: "What is the difference between the sea in Beisha City and the sea in Beihai County?"
?"
Bai Shan shook his head and said: "It looks different at first glance, but it's the same when you look closely, the same wind, the same boundlessness."
"Shouldn't you be saying the opposite?"
Bai Shan smiled and said, "Sir, what I'm talking about here is feelings, not scenery."
Governor Liu also looked up and nodded after a while, "That's right."
He said: "There will be a boat back in the afternoon. You, the magistrate of Beihai County, won't go back with them?"
Bai Shandao: "The defeated Baekje rebels are still operating along the coast. I think they should all be expelled. When the court receives the battle report, they will definitely hold Baekje accountable. We can also deter them by taking action here.
I will greatly enhance the prestige of the Jin Dynasty."
Governor Liu looked around and saw that his followers were all standing far away, so he clicked his tongue and said: "I will send people to clean up those rebels. You have already made meritorious service. With your current achievements, you will be able to mobilize them back soon."
The goal has been achieved in the capital, so why are we still suffering on the front lines?"
