The officials just took one look and felt their hearts pounding.
A pair of almond eyes, a small nose, and a pointed chin under the red lips, with a foxy aura coming to you.
The eyes appear to be smiling, but the smile is shallow.
"I've met Mr. Liu."
She is indeed charming, Yang Xuan is so young, but he doesn't fall for this woman?
Liu Qing was greatly relieved and felt better, "Ms. Helian came from afar, I am very happy. I wonder how your uncle is doing?"
"Uncle Huang is in good health and still wise."
"It's gratifying..."
"Liu Shijun seems to be in high spirits. I will go back and tell the emperor uncle. I think he will be very happy."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The greetings are over.
He Lianyan did not sit down, but stood in the hall, head slightly raised, red lips slightly parted, "Since last year, the Jibo tribe has been complaining to the emperor's uncle, saying that Chenzhou's scouts have continued to penetrate into the grassland, so that the herdsmen have continued to complain to the emperor.
Migrating north..."
Liu Qing frowned slightly, "That was the result of the Jibo tribe's attack on Chenzhou."
He Lianyan smiled, but there was a coldness in his eyes, "A lot of the pastures of the Jibo Department have been occupied by Chenzhou. The emperor's wish is that everyone should return to their original places. The scouts on Chenzhou's side are limited to thirty miles to the north.
.”
Under normal circumstances, scouts would not go more than thirty miles to scout, so there was no need. But in the past, the sixty miles north of Chenzhou were empty areas, serving as a buffer between Chenzhou and the Jibo Department.
He Lianyan wanted Chenzhou to retreat thirty miles as soon as he opened his mouth. In other words, the distance between the Jibo Department and the Jibo Department would be shortened to thirty miles. Once the Jibo Department made a surprise attack, the distance of thirty miles would mean that Chenzhou was caught off guard.
.
Lu Qiang said calmly: "The grassland is boundless, and there are many places for grazing. Does Wynn want to hang a knife above my head, Chenzhou? This is inappropriate."
He Lianyan sneered and said: "Uncle Huang said, Chenzhou will probably say it's inappropriate. You tell Liu Shijun that if it's inappropriate, I will raise troops to take it upon myself!"
Thirty miles of open space does not require a large army to press down. These words are more of a threat: if Liu Qing does not compromise, the army will come.
"rude!"
Some officials shouted angrily.
He Lianyan said calmly: "I am rude, what can you do?"
"you!"
Chenzhou is poor and can barely form a balance with the three major ministries. Once Tanzhou joins, Chenzhou will definitely lose!
Therefore, this is also the reason why Tanzhou dared to roar at Chenzhou for many years, but Chenzhou could only pretend not to hear it. Otherwise, Liu Qing would have been furious and raised his troops to the north.
Damn it!
The official was Jiang Xian, a soldier who joined the army. His face turned red, and just as he was about to speak, Lu Qiang coughed dryly.
Liu Qing raised his eyes, "Do you want to fight?"
His eyes were like lightning, and he was holding a tea cup in his right hand.
The Jibo Department dispatched a large army to attack Zhangyu County earlier this year and suffered heavy losses. For this reason, Wynn sent envoys to Tanzhou many times to cry out for poverty and heavy losses.
He didn't cry to the emperor's uncle, but to other tribes.
Why!
Take a look!
The emperor's uncle ordered us to attack the Tang Dynasty. After the failure, the emperor's uncle rolled his eyes and ignored us!
Who will listen to the emperor's uncle from now on?
Even if the Liao army was mighty, who wouldn't be able to act against it?
Therefore, the emperor's uncle was determined to get some benefits for Wynn this time.
It is worth paying some price for this.
He Lianyan has always been responsible for part of the emperor's uncle's business and some confidential matters. This time the emperor's uncle asked her to come to Chenzhou, and she was the envoy.
From this, she gradually moved closer to the center of power of the emperor's uncle.
Therefore, this matter can only succeed, not fail.
He Lianyan narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Qing: "So what? The emperor's uncle has already assembled a large army, and the three major troops are on guard. They only wait for the emperor's order to annihilate Chenzhou."
hiss!
Is this really meant to be played?
Everyone couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.
If the situation is like this, Chenzhou's only way is to ask for help from Taoxian County. But once the Taoxian reinforcements move, everyone knows that the Northern Liao army on the opposite side will not sit idly by.
From this, the war will begin again.
Liu Qing said coldly, "I'm waiting!"
"Eh!"
At this time, a person came in from outside, "Ms. Helian?"
He Lianyan blinked her eyes and looked at Yang Xuan who walked in in disbelief.
He... why is he here?
"Yang...Yang Mingfu."
"Yang Sima."
"Promoted?"
"Yes! You don't know?"
"yes!"
"By the way, I have some good tea brought by Chang'an over there. Would you like a drink?"
"That's fine."
The vixen who had been shouting and killing and vowing not to take a step back left, walking behind Yang Xuan.
Liu Qing: "..."
Lu Qiang: "???"
Everyone: "!!!"
…
After entering the duty room, Yang Xuan ordered: "Sven, let them get tea."
Zhen Siwen is now the chief official and has several junior officials under him, but he is still in the familiarity stage.
The tea was served and He Lianyan took a sip. It was indeed good.
She looked at Yang Xuan, with various thoughts swirling in her mind.
Such a young Sima was nothing in the Tang Dynasty and Northern Liao Dynasty. There were many young people in their teens who had the title of governor or minister.
But the person in front of me started from scratch.
"No one in Chang'an said you were lucky enough to enter?" He Lianyan was a little curious. As for not being in a hurry for business, Yang Xuan is here. The old method is not appropriate and it is time to change it.
"Yes." Yang Xuan said: "That I fell under a woman's skirt."
"Really?" Helianyan smiled charmingly, "Actually...if Yang Sima is willing, I can protect you under my skirt."
If Yang Xuan goes to Tanzhou to seek refuge with the emperor's uncle, as long as he proves to be sincere, the emperor's uncle will definitely regard him as his confidant.
"Too cool!" The green light flashed along, making it look like a turn.
Yang Xuan smiled, "What's the matter with Lady Helian here?"
He Lianyan put down the tea cup and said, "The Jibo tribe has suffered heavy casualties this year. The emperor said that the interval of sixty miles is too wide, and thirty miles is enough."
"Give thirty miles?"
"Yes. Besides, this is not a threat."
"Is the army ready?"
"That's right."
Yang Xuan drank tea, looked at He Lianyan leisurely, and suddenly asked: "Uncle Huang is short of money recently, isn't he?"
There are three hundred and sixty-five days in a year, and the emperor's uncle is short of money every day... He Lianyan nodded, "Short."
"Uncle Emperor, it's not easy. When I returned to Chang'an this time, I tried the Rejuvenation Pill."
"how?"
"Extremely sharp."
"hiss!"
"Someone in Chang'an said that he is willing to buy one pill for one thousand yuan."
"hiss!"
"I didn't sell it."
"The friendship between emperors and uncles lasts forever."
"Yes! How can I give up the friendship that I have had with my uncle for many years so easily?"
"How long will it take to get it out?"
"When I came, Taiping had already stocked up a lot of medicinal materials and was recruiting people. It's late autumn, and men should also take supplements."
"How much can you produce in a year?" He Lianyan stared at Yang Xuan.
"I was talking about five thousand pills last time."
"Yes. But the friendship between the emperor and uncle is priceless."
"Yes! So we have collected a lot of medicinal materials this time, tentatively... ten thousand per year!"
Yang Xuan stretched out his middle finger and looked down upon the emperor's uncle for his greed.
He Lianyan, who didn't know the connotation of the middle finger, suddenly lit up, "Ten thousand pills?"
"That's right."
"It's true!"
“A dead horse is hard to chase!”
Yang Xuan looked serious.
"High five!"
Boom!
The emperor's uncle would be ecstatic. As for the Jibo Department, what does it have to do with his old man? He Lianyan stood up and said, "Here comes someone."
An entourage came in. Because this trip required intimidation, the entourage was all burly men. As soon as he came in, the entourage pressed the hilt of his knife and spread his legs to stare at Yang Xuan.
He Lianyan walked out, waved, and followed him out.
"Go back and report to the emperor that I threatened Yang Xuan. Yang Xuan promised to give nine thousand rejuvenating pills every year."
Aren't you here to threaten? How did it turn into a business deal? Follower: "..."
"Go quickly!"
"yes."
After coming back, Helianyan smiled even more charmingly, "Yang Sima, the weather is really nice!"
This bitch's eyes are about to drip with water. Honey, don't have any crooked thoughts... Yang Xuan smiled and said, "Yes! The autumn breeze is refreshing and the sky is clear."
"The weather is so nice, why don't you go out for a walk?"
"yes!"
"I brought milk wine and dried meat with me. Yang Sima has never tasted the delicious wine on the grassland."
"Milk wine! I've never tasted it!"
Liu Qing and others are still waiting for news.
"I thought that after the Northern Xinjiang War, the defeated Northern Liao side was waiting for an opportunity to retaliate, and since Chenzhou was weak, Ningxing would definitely urge He Lianchun to take action and put pressure on Chenzhou." Lu Qiang's analysis was reasonable.
"It is said that Lin Ya lost face after returning, but He Lianfeng unexpectedly did not deal with him." Han Li felt that this was a loophole.
Liu Qing said calmly: "During the Battle of Northern Xinjiang, tens of thousands of Northern Liao reinforcements set up an ambush on the only way our army could pursue us. However, Huang Xianggong recalled the army in time, and the Northern Liao people ambush themselves... It turned into a joke.
.”
"Helianfeng wanted to weaken Lin Ya's strength and suppress him by the way, so the reinforcements did not show up, which can be said to be sitting back and watching Lin Ya's defeat. If Lin Ya caused this matter, Helianfeng would be in a state of disarray. So he suppressed the deal.
Lin Ya’s impeachment.” Lu Qiang laughed and said, “This is a fool’s errand.”
"We have them too." This is Northern Xinjiang. Liu Qing said boldly, pointing directly at the officials in the DPRK.
"How should we deal with this matter?" Han Li asked. Yang Xuan took Helian Yan away. Although it was unclear why, it was a good thing that the trouble was over. However, thinking about the crisis hidden behind Beiliao's move, Han Li's
The good mood dissipated as soon as it started.
Bing Cao joined the army and Jiang Xian said: "If we fight, we will fight. Am I, Chenzhou, afraid of him?"
These hot-blooded words were ignored by Liu Qing, "We have to deal with this matter. We must not anger this woman, but we cannot agree to retreat thirty miles. If we retreat thirty miles, wouldn't the Jibo Department be worried about a surprise attack by our army? And I
Chenzhou also has to worry about being attacked by the Jibo Department."
Han Li suddenly realized, "He Lianchun wants Chen Zhou and Jibo Department to be suspicious of each other. As time goes by, one party will inevitably take action."
"After all, we are nomadic, so the Jibo tribe will be better off. Our Chenzhou soldiers and civilians are all in the city. Unless we move the city, otherwise we will have three surprises in one night. How can we live this life?" Liu Qing nodded, "So there is no need to think about this matter.
think."
"I'm afraid Tanzhou will really use this as an excuse to raise troops." Someone sighed.
"What the dog said, if Chang'an deploys 10,000 troops to Chenzhou, what do we have to fear?"
"The army is in southern Xinjiang, playing with the natives!" Someone was ridiculing that the court favored one over the other.
"Stop talking about it." If you complain too much, it won't be a good thing for the court to find out. Liu Qing ordered: "Go and have a look. If there is a quarrel, stop it."
Someone went.
It's not far from Yang Xuan's room.
Not long after he left, the man came back.
"Your Majesty, Yang Sima and that He Lianyan are out."
"???"
Liu Qing was confused, "Where have you gone?"
Someone said: "Is it unreasonable to compete in martial arts?"
"There is this rule on the grassland. If the truth cannot be explained with words, use a knife to explain it."
"Shut up!" Liu Qing had a headache from the noise, and he couldn't hear what the clerk was saying clearly.
When everyone stopped talking, the clerk shouted at the top of his voice: "I said I was going out of town to drink."
The lobby was eerily quiet.
"You heard that right?"
"You heard me right, it was He Lianyan who invited Yang Sima out for a drink in the city, and he also talked about enjoying the autumn scenery."
…
Most of the fields outside Lin'an City are fields. After the autumn harvest, the crops are staked in the ground, and they look like a short section that stretches all the way across.
No matter how careful you are, a lot of grain will fall in the fields. This is a paradise for birds. They appear alone or in groups in the fields looking for food.
More than twenty riders passed by slowly, but the birds remained motionless.
If they don't eat more at this time, they will either freeze to death or starve to death in winter when food is scarce.
Yang Xuan feels that hibernation should be a way for animals to cope with cold and food shortage, which is very magical.
"How is it here?" He Lianchun pointed to the river.
“It’s nice here.”
The attendant brought a table and a futon, and the two sat down opposite each other.
The woman is charming, the man is heroic, the trees around him are falling leaves, and the river is flowing...
"It's like a painting." Wang Laoer muttered.
"What painting?" asked the old thief.
"Cows eat grass."
The milk wine was thrown aside, and Yang Xuan said: "The wine of the Tang Dynasty is the dried meat of the grassland, and they complement each other."
"Do you want to say that Datang and Grassland should join forces?"
He Lianyan nodded, and his entourage placed the dried meat on the table.
"right."
The two toasted.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Helianyan's cheeks turned red and her eyes became blurry, making her even more attractive.
"Yang Sima." He Lianyan handed over his wine glass.
There are still lip marks on the rim of the wine glass.
Yang Xuan chuckled, "Ms. Helian, are you too drunk?"
He Lianyan took back the wine glass and said with a sweet smile: "Does Yang Sima know my origin?"
"I don't know." Yang Xuan said lightly.
He Lianyan waved his hand, and the people around him retreated to a distance where they could not hear their words.
Yang Xuan also waved his hand, and the old thief coughed dryly, "Mr. Lang, be careful."
In the process of retreating, Wang Laoer said: "That girl is no match for Lang Jun, why do you tell Lang Jun to be careful?"
The old thief said: "I am worried that she wants to swallow the husband."
Over there, He Lianyan said: "Back then, my family's rebellion failed and my whole family was killed, leaving only me as an infant. The emperor gave me to his uncle to raise me. Does Yang Sima know what it feels like to be under the care of others over the years?"
Well!
Is there still such a thing?
Yang Xuan thought of He Lianchun's attitude towards her, which was more like a subordinate than a niece.
But he remained unmoved.
"Heart of stone!" He Lianyan said angrily.
This bitch has no good intentions... Yang Xuan smiled.
"I don't need you to go hunting at my uncle's house, right?"
Helianyan was stunned, "Of course I don't have to."
"That's fine."
Weird person... He Lianyan sighed, covered her chest and shook her head, her chest trembling, "Someone in the emperor's uncle's house has been trying to squeeze me out. I am getting older, and I will get married and have children... But once I get married, , the emperor's uncle will no longer trust him. Without the emperor's uncle's protection, the enemies of the family will swarm in."
He Lianyan's eyes were filled with water, "They are telling me they will use the most cruel methods on the grassland to humiliate me and make my life worse than death."
But I'm not your man, why are you talking to me about this... Yang Xuan simply said it directly, "Why are you talking about this?"
He Lianyan looked around and said softly: "I need you."
