Gu Shao chuckled and explained patiently, "Of course I hope that my wife will go with me. It just so happens that we can travel together along the way and enjoy the mountains and rivers. However, it is dry over there. If the princess really wants to go, she should bring more skin care products.

"

The Ninth Princess also smiled, "That's pretty much it. I have my sister Pan'er in Sangcheng! With her here, you don't have to worry about these little things."

"By the way, why did my brother suddenly ask you to go to Sangcheng? Even if a cement road is built, you don't have to go there in person? In addition, General Zhao was sent. Is it really for Dabao?"

Gu Shao smiled, his wife was still very smart, "Not exactly."

The Ninth Princess was stunned and looked surprised, "Husband, what else do you want? Can you tell me?"

"It can be said that it is to expand the territory." Gu Shao replied, "You will know the specific details after arriving in Sangcheng."

The Ninth Princess's eyes lit up, "No wonder, the emperor is so wise and powerful, and with the help of you and General Zhao, he will definitely be able to get what he wants."

Gu Shao was convinced, "That's what the princess said."

"Then when will we set off?" Ninth Princess asked, having already asked the maid to pack her luggage, and we should be able to set off soon.

Gu Shao replied: "Have a rest tomorrow and prepare your luggage. We can set off the day after tomorrow."

Ninth Princess thought for a while, "There is enough time. By the way, let's go. What will happen to grandma?"

Gu Shao smiled bitterly, "It's bitterly cold in the north. Young people can do it, but they can't let grandma pass. But based on my understanding of Li Yuanqing, that man always uses troops very quickly. This battle shouldn't take too long. It can be over in a year."

, we can come back then.”

"That's right." Ninth Princess nodded, "Tell grandma carefully when the time comes. If she insists on going there, we will take grandma with us."

"If grandma's health permits and she wants to go, take her with her." Gu Shao felt that what Princess Ninth said made sense, and it would be good to let grandma see more.

When they arrived at home, Mrs. Gu learned that her grandson was going to Sangcheng, and waved her hands, "Then you go, I won't go. I can't stand working in the north. When I was young, I worked as an official in a place in the north with your grandfather.

.I get angry every three days, which is very uncomfortable.”

"Now that I'm old, my body can't withstand the torment. I'll be waiting for you in the capital. Write to me more often. You don't have to worry about anything else. By the way, you go to Sangcheng and I'll prepare something for Pan'er.

and several children.”

"Don't forget to tell Qilang that your fiancée is in Sang City. As soon as he has free time, he plans to go shopping and save a lot. He just happened to give it to Ali."

Gu Shao responded, "Yes, grandma."

Just as Gu Shao and General Zhao were preparing their luggage to go to Sangcheng, Emperor Zhou Ping's secret documents and the decree for Li Yuanqing and Magistrate Yuan were also rushed to Sangcheng by six hundred miles.

When Li Yuanqing got Emperor Zhou Ping's reply, he immediately felt relieved.

He is worthy of being the emperor he trusts, with great talent and great strategy.

Not only did he believe his report, but he also made two preparations to capture Beiyun City.

Not only that, in order to stabilize the rear, General Zhao was sent, and Gu Shao also came.

This time, the pace of Beiyun City must be won.

Once the Great Zhou Dynasty gained control of Beiyun City, the frontier would be expanded four hundred miles forward. This area is full of grasslands and has abundant water sources, allowing for farming.

The north can be self-sufficient, Beiyun City is stable, and the north of the Great Zhou Dynasty is stable.

Magistrate Yuan was relieved when he received Emperor Zhou Ping's reply. In addition, he also sent helpers General Zhao and Gu Shao.

There is less pressure on his shoulders and his chances of winning are better.

With confidence, Li Yuanqing and Magistrate Yuan let go of the investigation. After this investigation, they found that the list given by Larmore was correct.

Magistrate Yuan whispered: "General Li, what Larmore said is actually true."

Li Yuanqing nodded and smiled, "What those people did was not done in a day or two, but over several years. If they had deceived us, they wouldn't have spent so many years planning."

"In addition, Lamore is now alone. His wife, children, and former loyal men were all killed by Latour. It is reasonable for him to want revenge."

"Just as you think, I also prefer that Lamore really wants to surrender and assist the fourth prince in his rise to power."

Magistrate Yuan nodded, "Although I think so too, we must still be vigilant to prevent falling into a trap. We cannot act rashly before General Zhao and Master Gu arrive."

Li Yuanqing was convinced, "Okay, continue the investigation. If we can use this information and our intelligence to capture Beiyun City, then we will believe what Larmore said."

"If you can't, then it's a lie. Anyway, your Majesty's intention is to attack Beirong and harass Beirong while they are fighting for the throne."

After the two people met, they each became stable and moved forward step by step.

Liu Pan'er didn't know much about military affairs, but she knew that the army had not moved yet, and food and grass had to go first, so she paid special attention to the land around Sang City, as well as the corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, sugar beets and other crops grown on the land that had been reclaimed.

More and more land is mined, and it is a little late to grow food, but alfalfa seeds are sown, and more alfalfa grows, which can be used for grazing and raising more cattle, sheep, and horses.

In order to prepare meat for the winter and provide it to the army, Liu Paner thought of a rabbit that breeds quickly and grows quickly.

The breeding period for cattle, sheep and horses is very long, so I decided to raise rabbits.

Not only does it establish a rabbit breeding base, it also encourages local people to raise rabbits.

Rabbits not only provide meat, rabbit skins can keep you warm, and rabbit feces, after fermentation, is a good organic fertilizer.

Because there is a lot of grass on the grassland, but rabbits are not suitable for grazing, so many people go to mow the grass on horseback.

The sweet potato seedlings in the field can also be cooked and mixed with bran or the like, and can also be fed to rabbits.

There are more people raising pigs. In short, there is more grass on the grassland, and there are more things that can be raised.

Liu Pan'er planned systematically, and various places in the north were opening up wasteland and cultivating land in an orderly manner.

According to the quantity reported from above, as long as it matures in the autumn, the grain produced in the north will be enough to feed an army of 100,000 or even more.

Liu Pan'er didn't return home until it was almost dark.

She took off the headscarf, shook off the dust inside, quickly washed her face and hands, and changed her clothes. She always felt dirty all over her body.

Li Yuanqing went home early today and was waiting for Liu Pan'er.

"Husband, what's wrong?" Liu Pan'er asked curiously when she saw Li Yuanqing smiling.

Li Yuanqing smiled, and then took out the reply that Emperor Zhou Ping gave him, "You will know after you read it."

Liu Pan'er took it and looked at it carefully, her eyes showing joy, "Your Majesty is really wise! With General Zhao and Master Gu here, we don't have to worry anymore."
