Chapter eight hundred and ninety-two coping methods
On the first day of the second year of the Ming Dynasty, in the solemn Yamenhouyuan of Liangzhou Prefecture, a huge bonfire was burning fiercely, with a mesh-like iron shell outside. The snowflakes falling in the air melted and disappeared in the air before they got close.
Chen Lin wanted to pick up a pot of wine soaked in hot water and drink it, but she was stared back by Ye An. Seeing the wide-eyed expressions of the female members of the Hou family, the old man would be embarrassed and scratched his head. Under the astonished looks of Cheng Gongshou and Xu Yongzhang, they sat down and sat down.
Ye An is performing magic tricks for Qin Mumu and Xuan'er, but Qin Mumu is more inclined to expose Ye An's tricks.
"The pigeon was originally hidden in the hat, but it was covered by a baffle!"
"You can tell just by looking at his hands, the sleeves are so big, why can't they be hidden?"
Although he was exposed many times, Ye An was not angry. On the contrary, he pinched Mu Mu's shoulders personally. For him, no one is as important as Qin Mu Mu now.
Because his wife is pregnant, her slightly bulging belly has not affected Qin Mumu's figure. It has even made her figure better. The areas that should be rounded are more rounded, and she is already on a par with Rosanna.
The pregnant Qin Mumu was even more attractive than Roxana, so Ye An didn't even notice the existence of this vixen from the Western Regions.
Xuan'er watched from the side and smiled from ear to ear. Finally, she couldn't bear it any longer and said to Rosanna: "If you want to devote yourself to my Marquis, you might as well go directly to my County Lord. Those who act coquettishly here really suffer!"
Rosanna pouted: "Humph, can your county gentleman let go? Unless the sky falls, not everyone has a good life like you. But having said that, there is something in your county gentleman's stomach, don't you Yes... no wonder you don't drink any alcohol during the Chinese New Year! You won't drink the wine I brought you either!"
"Ah! Don't talk nonsense..."
Although Xuan'er retorted, her voice became quieter and quieter. She had just discovered that her menstrual period was delayed. Although she had a guess in her heart, she did not dare to confirm it.
I heard Mrs. Zhang say that if you feel you are pregnant, you must not tell it, let alone tell others. It is best not to tell even the Marquis. The child is too young and has not yet formed, and it is easy to slip.
Gentle and even a little cautious, Xuan'er touched her belly and leaned sweetly towards Qin Mumu. How could Qin Mumu, a person who has been here, not know that she was pregnant?
She whispered: "If you're pregnant, just say it. If you're sorry, let Ye Lang pay more attention to you. This will save him from returning disappointed every time he goes to your room." Xuan'er's face suddenly turned red and her head was red. He almost slipped into Qin Mumu's arms and refused to rely on him.
Ye An hugged a girl with one hand and enjoyed the family happiness with a smile. Ganliang was settled, Siquhe City was developing extremely well, Puhui Company's stalls were fully opened, all factories were expanding and recruiting people, and the imperial court also There was no edict to return to Beijing, and everything was going in a good direction.
This year is the most comfortable and peaceful year he has ever lived.
But God seemed to be having a hard time with him. Just when the whole government office was enjoying themselves, a tired cavalryman walked into the Moon Gate under the guidance of Zhao Hu.
Chen Lin, who was sitting in the rocking chair, sat up suddenly after seeing the cavalry. There were not many cavalry who could go directly to the Liangzhou government office, and the person who came was also a soldier of his Imperial City Division.
Seeing Ye An looking over, Chen Lin shook her head slightly and said she didn't know what happened.
The two stood up and walked to the clean room in the backyard. The cavalryman knelt on one knee and said: "Report to Ye Shuai, the governor, and the Jishi Army police call. It is urgent!"
The Jishi Army Prefecture of the Great Song Dynasty had already been eroded by the Qingtang Tibetans. The real Jishi Army was stationed in Kuozhou, not Jishi Army Prefecture. Now that there is a warning, it must be that the Tubo people have made some changes.
Ye An frowned slightly, while Chen Lin opened the wooden tube of the message after hurriedly checking the wax seal.
Gu Yan
After reading the contents of the letter, Chen Lin's expression changed drastically. She handed the document to Ye An and said in a deep voice: "Huaihe Village, Linsong Fort, and Gutong Fort all fell into the hands of the Tubo people. Jishi City was also captured by the Tubo people."
It was changed to Xige City because there was a vague intention of invading Kuozhou. The commander of the Jishi Army made Shao Dingbian uneasy and specially wrote a letter to you, Qinfeng Road Soldiers and Horses, to request reinforcements."
"Bring me the map!"
Following Ye An's words, Zhao Hu quickly took down the backup map from the clean room and spread it out on the table.
Ye An looked at the map carefully and said: "Next to Xige City is the mouth of Longhe River. The Tubo people call it "Longyang Gorge", which means the mouth of the steep river. If you capture this place now, you will occupy the upper reaches of the Yellow River.
The entire Jishi Army Prefecture is under its control. It’s no wonder that such a large Jishi Army can’t hold a single fortress.”
After saying that, he said to the soldier: "Are Tongbo Fort, Ningsai Village and Michuan City still okay?"
Luo Zu cupped his fists and said: "It's still in the hands of the Jishi Army, but when my subordinates come here, there are Tubo Rangers who spy on the military situation from time to time!"
Chen Lin grabbed the guard and said, "Can that idiot Shao Dingbian go to the imperial court?"
"I haven't... I've never been on the road!"
"Shacai!"
Chen Lin was furious. She didn't go to the imperial court because of the emergency at the border. Instead, she directly asked Ye An, a military commander, for help. Obviously he wanted to suppress the matter, but Jishi City was lost, so he definitely couldn't hide it.
, doing this will only harm Ye An!
But Ye An was not angry at all. After sitting down slowly, he still had the mood to pour Chen Lin a cup of tea: "Sir, please be patient. Since the entire Jishi Army Province has been lost, Shao Dingbian's guilt cannot be escaped.
, we have never received any news before, if I hadn’t discussed with you before the New Year to send patrols to patrol the border state, I’m afraid we still don’t know about it!”
Chen Lin slapped the table bitterly and said: "I didn't expect the Tubo people to be so courageous. They dared to invade Bianzhou after being driven out of Liangzhou. Didn't you see that Ganzhou was taken back by us?!
"
Ye An smiled bitterly and said: "The imperial court has cut off business relations with Tibet, and does not allow Tibetans to come to Siquhe City to do business. This is trying to force Qingtang Tubo to death! There is no tea, no ironware, no cotton clothes and sweaters.
, how did Qingtang Tubo survive this winter?"
"Then why did you get through it before? Who are you talking about?!"
Chen Lin picked up the tea and drank it all in dissatisfaction. In his opinion, the Qingtang Tibetans could not invade the border even if they had great difficulties, and they also occupied the entire Jishijunzhou.
This is a war caused by trade restrictions. Qingtang Tubo not only has cattle, sheep and horses, but also good green salt. The trade between the Song Dynasty and Qingtang is interrupted. It is not only Qingtang Tubo that suffers losses, the Song Dynasty also suffers losses.
.
When Ye An came to the imperial court, he did not recommend directly cutting off the trading market with Qingtang. However, in the eyes of the civil and military officials in the court, cutting off the trading market would have all the benefits and no harm. The goods needed by the Tibetans in Qingtang
There were too many, whether it was ironware, woodware, cotton or wool, we couldn't produce them ourselves, but the Song Dynasty had no shortage of those goods from Qingtang.
But this also pushed Qingtang Tubo to a dead end. Since they couldn't buy daily necessities, they had to rob them.
Violence is the most basic way to solve problems, and it is also the simplest way.
Chen Lin was waiting for Ye An's answer, but he was not in a hurry. He picked up a pen and wrote a reply on the document. After writing it, he handed it to Chen Lin and asked him to co-sign and seal it.
This is the rule of the imperial court. Only the soldiers, horsemen, and supervisors must use printed documents at the same time to dispatch the border troops.
"Move the Zhenwu army from Xining Prefecture to pretend to attack Qingtang City? Is this your method? What if the Tibetan army from Qingtang City goes north to Xining Prefecture?"
Seeing Chen Lin's nervous look, Ye An smiled and said, "Then they won't be able to go back!"
