General Cui, named Cui Xin. He has one wife and one concubine, and has three sons and one daughter. The eldest son Cui Lanyao died in the last battle last year. Cui Lansong is the second son and the successor trained by General Cui. His concubines are My cousin is my concubine. I have a son and a daughter. The daughter is just fifteen years old, and the youngest son is only six years old, so he is still young.
General Cui has a sister who is married to Li Zhizhou and has three sons. The eldest son Li Qian serves as deputy general under General Xu Zhou. Ningzhou is busy with military affairs, and General Cui is the general guarding the north city gate. Recently, he has been on guard and on guard, and rarely has time to spend time with his family. People reunite.
During dinner, the atmosphere was extremely bad. Cui Xiaomei complained that Xie Jue wanted to remove the government office. This matter was discussed by Xie Jue and Li Zhizhou, the masters in the government together. News also came that Fang Chuning refused to lead troops, Feng Changqing and Su Yuejiao had removed their armor, and even if several generals were still serving as officials in the court, Yanyang would not be able to fight this battle.
Half of Yanyang's best generals are in Ningzhou, and half are unwilling to go to war. Even if Yu Wenjing takes the lives of Fang Chuning's family and gives Fang Chuning 200,000 soldiers and horses, he will not be able to assemble the equipment. After Xie Jue and Xie Xun defected, Jiangnan can no longer prepare military supplies for them, and with Commander Fang here, he can't go on a killing spree.
Originally, after the peace talks, everything was in depression, and everything was in ruins. Yanyang could not afford to attack, and Ningzhou City could not afford to attack it. If they were to attack from the front and back, the Ningzhou Cavalry would have to fight with its last resort.
No one wants to fight this situation!
Xie Jue wanted to straighten out the general affairs of Ningzhou City and wait for Xie Xun to escort the silver back to Ningzhou City before starting a new dynasty. Ningzhou Prefecture was an official subordinate to the Yanyang Dynasty, and Xie Jue did not intend to continue the old system.
Cui Xiaomei is unwilling to accept it. Li Zhizhou will be promoted to a capital official at the end of this year. With one step, the whole family can also move to Kyoto. Cui Xiaomei has long gone to see the prosperous Kyoto. Now that the Xie family has rebelled, not only is there no hope of promotion, but the official position will also be removed. Cui Xiaomei lived like a princess in Ningzhou City. Her brother was the general who defended the city, and her husband was the magistrate of the city. There was no vassal king in Ningzhou. The banquet she hosted was the highest standard among the female family members, and she was praised by all the stars among the female family members. like existence.
Her daughter can marry the best man in Ningzhou, and her son can also choose the most beautiful girl with the best family background in Ningzhou City. The Cui and Li families have always been the most enviable family in Ningzhou City.
"The Second Young Master and the Young Marquis are in charge of Ningzhou City, so it is natural that the old system should be abolished and the New Deal should be adopted. If Li Dan can do practical things, the Second Young Master will naturally take advantage of him."
"My husband has served as the magistrate of Ningzhou for three years, and he has worked hard without any merit. There is no word to remove the government office, and there is no explanation for resettlement. In recent days, the second young master has brought Feng Yu who came from Kyoto to discuss matters. What does it sound like for a little girl who has not yet left the court to appear in public? Besides, what does a little girl who has just grown hair know? Can anyone know Ningzhou City better than my husband? Miss Feng San is still engaged to the young Marquis, and she follows the second young master every day. He also doesn’t know how to avoid suspicion. The second young master is nepotistic. He is not familiar with the officials in Ningzhou City and would rather bring a little girl who knows nothing to discuss matters. How can he convince the public? "
Li Dan pulled her with an embarrassed expression, "Stop talking."
"If there's anything you can't say, you'll be kicked out of the office. You're so hesitant!"
"Shut up!" General Cui was furious, "Second Young Master, how can you fabricate rumors? I would like to advise you, don't talk nonsense and get into trouble."
Cui Xiaomei was frightened by the yelling, and she was even more unwilling to accept it. Cui Lansong sneered and said, "Aunt, my father has been with the Marquis for a long time. If he makes any mistakes or causes some trouble, the Marquis will just let him go. The second young master is the most unkind.
Yes, when the Marquis is here, he will not be able to stop whoever he wants to punish. I am going to say something ugly ahead of you, so you'd better not gossip and implicate his family, otherwise my father and I won't be able to save you."
Li Dan hurriedly said, "Don't worry, uncle, I will definitely take good care of her."
Cui Xiaomei did bully Xie Jue and Xie Xun when they were young. There were a group of old generals in Ningzhou City. She heard that the young marquis was contradicted by several old generals in the military hall. As long as the old generals unite, are they still afraid of Xie Jue and Xie Xun?
Both Zhenbeihou and Xie Zhang are dead. Who knows how many Ningzhou cavalrymen serve Xie Xun.
"The bones of the Marquis and the eldest son are still cold. The Ningzhou cavalry all remember this blood debt. There is no doubt that the young Marquis is the commander-in-chief of the three armies. He announced early in the morning that if the Ningzhou cavalry is not willing to follow him in rebellion, they will leave on their own or disarm and return to their fields.
.In the whole day, only a few dozen people left Ningzhou. This is the military spirit. As long as his surname is Xie, the cavalry will be loyal to him." General Cui said in a deep voice, "The second young master plans the strategy and is in charge of the rear. He has his own
It’s arranged that you, a woman, take care of your husband and raise your children at home, and don’t interfere with the affairs of the city, do you hear me?”
"I know!" Cui Xiaomei was restrained by her brother's stern tone and responded sarcastically.
After Cui Xiaomei and Li Dan left, General Cui breathed a sigh of relief. Cui Lansong said, "Father, the young marquis proposed yesterday to build a grain and horse road from Ningzhou to Jinzhou. Why did you and General Qi refute it fiercely?"
"Now the future is unclear. We don't know what the second young master and the young prince are planning. The second young master rushes to the government office to take charge of finance and overall planning. The young prince is not familiar with military affairs. He wants to build a grain and horse road. How much does it cost?
Man, what will happen if the Northern Barbarians make a surprise attack? How to distinguish the areas from Ningzhou to Jinzhou? This is not under the jurisdiction of Ningzhou City, so why build a grain and horse road? If you ask me, it is straightforward and simple to directly raise troops to attack Kyoto."
Cui Lansong watched Xie Zhang die with his own eyes. Xie Zhang had always been a man he was proud of and his biggest motivation. He wanted to become a general like Xie Zhang.
He wanted to attack Kyoto more than his father, and wished he could chop off Yu Wenjing's head to pay homage to the Marquis and the eldest son.
But how to deal with the baggage? The commander-in-chief and General Fang are still stationed in Kyoto. If they cannot be defeated, the northern barbarians will receive news again and they will be attacked from both sides. The whole Yanyang will be in dire straits, and many people will have their families destroyed.
"The young prince has lost his parents, eldest sister, eldest brother and aunt. He hates the Yuwen royal family more than anyone else. Doesn't he want to fight?" Cui Lansong said, "When the second young master brought more than 10,000 people back to Kyoto, the young prince
The Marquis wanted to directly break the palace city. However, after the Ningzhou cavalry left the station, the Northern Barbarians marched in. What would the people of Ningzhou do? Wherever the Northern Barbarians went, they killed, burned, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. Who could the unarmed people of Yanyang rely on?
To protect? Since we followed the young marquis in rebellion, we should believe him. I know that the generals in the army believe in the marquis and the eldest young master more, but now it is the young marquis who is in charge. Why does the second young master ignore military affairs because he hopes that the young prince will
If you can control the generals by yourself, if he wants to build a grain and horse road, we should cooperate with him in building it. Since we are rebelling with him, he is the master of the cavalry and will also be our master in the future. If the person in the military tent is a marquis, you
Do you still dare to challenge him? Why would you dare to challenge him if it were the young Marquis? The bullying Marquis is no longer around, and no one will support him. You still think he is young, so you rely on his old age and do not take him seriously. Father,
During the two military tent discussions, you all contradicted him. He didn't say anything, but what did you see him do? The people he appointed these two days were all children of aristocratic families brought from Beijing. In just six months, he could
It is only a matter of time to train a Kyoto Guard that he can drive and follow him to rebel and tame the Ningzhou Iron Cavalry. You'd better not contradict him again, otherwise, you will lose your position in the military tent."
Yes, Xie Xun appointed Lin Xiao, Zhang Boxing and Zhou Liyu as his lieutenants, and asked Lin Xiao and Zhang Boxing to lead the Kyoto Guard out of the city. No one knew what they were doing!
Zhou Liyu also led a mixed force of 3,000 Kyoto guards and cavalrymen out of the city.
When the generals contradicted him during discussions in the military tent, he never got angry, but he turned around and appointed someone he trusted to do things for him. This was not a good sign.
In the Xie family's mansion.
Xu Zhou and he were talking about the adaptation of the cavalry. Xu Zhou felt that this matter should not be taken too hastily. The veterans in Ningzhou had not convinced the coach yet, so the adaptation at this time would definitely touch their interests and cause turmoil.
"I know, but I can't wait for a big victory. The Northern Barbarians and Ningzhou have ceased fighting, and there is no more war. If you want to wait for them to be willing, you might as well not do anything." Xie Xun said coldly, "The grain and horse road is important.
It will be built immediately, and the military garrison will have to send people to continue to open up wasteland, and two teams will be organized to go to Xizhou and Huangzhou. I want to conquer the twelve states, and I can't waste time with them in Ningzhou City, waiting for them to return home."
Xu Zhou sighed slightly, yes, the young prince missed the best opportunity. If he had not injured his leg and returned to Beijing for two years, he would have established the same prestige in the army as the eldest prince.
Now, I can only rely on the young Marquis to make his own way.
Xu Zhou looked at this face that resembled an eldest prince and thought to himself that it was only a matter of time before the young marquis gained the loyalty and trust of the soldiers.
Thanks to my family, I was born for the battlefield.
Commanders descend from heaven, as if they were born to lead thousands of armies and be invincible.
When Xie Xun and Xu Zhou were talking about their son, Xie Jue also came back from the government office, and Xu Zhou was about to go down to rest, "Second Young Master, don't work too hard, pay attention to your rest."
"Yeah!" Xie Jue nodded coldly. Xu Zhou looked at the bloodshot eyes and hesitated to speak. After the second young master arrived in Ningzhou, he only slept for two hours yesterday. His iron body couldn't bear it, let alone his eyes.
Not recovered yet.
"Zhixu, come here and pick a title." Xie Jue closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows, his eyes aching.
Xie Xun looked at the first draft of the document that his second brother had spread out. He said he was asked to choose, but there were only two titles, Qin and Ning. Xie Xun pointed at Qin and said, "Prince of Qin."
Xie Jue opened his eyes, the bloodshot eyes still not fading, "I also think King Qin is good, so let's go with him."
"Did you talk to Feng Yu again in the middle of the night?" Xie Xun's beautiful phoenix eyes were as deep as a cold pool, bringing out a hint of coolness, "Except for Brother Fang, the second brother rarely meets anyone who can talk to you, right?
"
"Well!" Xie Jue was extremely tired. He rubbed his eyebrows and had no extra thoughts to penetrate his brother's sensitive emotions. "You have a very good eye for picking people up!"
Xie Xun, "..."
A ball of fire burned in Xie Xun's chest, burning to the point of collapse of his sanity. Feng Yu had a cold war with him for half a year, and she would chat with his second brother until late at night every time. He knew that it was for business, and he also knew that the second brother and his
Feng Yu was innocent, but she couldn't control her sourness and grievances.
When has the second brother ever praised someone?
This is already a very, very high evaluation.
"I know..." Xie Jue opened his eyes and looked at him, not missing the grievance in his eyes, "I don't want to talk to you about long stories, and I'm not good at it. I just borrowed five million taels of silver from the third girl. For the sake of
For the sake of money, you'd better comply with her wishes."
Xie Xun, "..."
No wonder he would praise Fengyu, it turns out he borrowed money from her!!!
These words are really familiar. When he broke his leg and cursed Feng Yu in the military tent, the second brother had never met Feng Yu and said almost the same words.
"Tomorrow, tell the world that you will establish yourself as king in Ningzhou. In the afternoon, order fifty thousand cavalry and go to Jinzhou with Feng Yu, escorting back five million silver and grain and grass." Xie Jue said calmly, "She will stay in Jinzhou.
, you come back as soon as possible. If you don't want to, you can overcome it yourself on the way to Jinzhou."
Xie Xun took a deep breath, "Second brother, am I your biological brother?"
"They look so similar, they must be related to each other."
Xie Xun, "..."
Xie Jue sneered, "Brother, my patience with you is about to run out. You should be wise and don't mess with me."
