However, Su Mo, Fan Jian, and Fang Youhui's ecstasy lasted for only a moment.
Because, after Ying Teng said that the emperor wanted to accept a concubine, the three began to wonder in their hearts whether there would be a woman of the right age who had such a blessing in their own relatives, but the result shocked the three of them.
Su Mo only has two daughters, the eldest daughter Su Wan is the concubine of the First Emperor, and the youngest daughter Su You married Fan Changjian, the son of Fan Jian, and has become a mother. In addition, there is no relative of the right age who can be sent to the palace.
So Su Mo was the first to turn from ecstasy to disappointment.
Having a daughter in the mansion becomes an emperor's concubine means that it is possible to inherit the emperor's throne in the future. Although it is only possible, this little bit may make a family lose everything.
What's more, the emperor asked Lao Zong Zheng Ying Teng to come to propose marriage in person, so he obviously loved this woman very much. How important is this among the countless concubines in the harem? You must know that the emperor is the one who has never thought of being able to be promoted.
The eighteenth prince who took the throne.
The only reliance of the Eighteenth Prince seems to be the favor of the First Emperor!
Everything is possible.
Although Su Mo had automatically filtered his Su Mansion in his heart, he still immediately put away his loss. Fortunately, there are the other two prefectures? As old Qin families, the three prefectures have always been in the same spirit.
If someone in the mansion can enter the emperor's harem, it will be a huge opportunity for the Qin family.
However, Su Mo soon noticed something strange from Fan Jian and Fang You on his face.
The situation seems to be different from what I think.
Do you have any relatives of the other two palaces of appropriate age?
Su Mo was really guessing that the relatives of the Fan Mansion and Fang Mansion of the right age have already married women, and even the daughters born to the concubine have already married the Qin families in Guanzhong for marriage.
Any relative of the right age who is still waiting to be a good person.
So who is the emperor's eye?
Su Mo and the other two couldn't understand the situation immediately.
If it weren't for the woman in his three palaces, the emperor wouldn't have to ask for his or her opinions on the matter of taking concubines!
"I dare to ask Lord Zheng of Lao Zong, is the woman His Majesty wants to be included in the palace among us? " Fan Jian couldn't help asking.
"Yes!" Ying Teng nodded affirmatively.
"I wonder if Mr. Zheng of Lao Zong, which woman in the three palaces is so lucky?"
"Su You!"
This time, Ying Teng did not continue to keep insincere, but directly spoke the woman's name.
Su Mo, Fan Jian, and Fang Youcong were shocked.
In the huge side hall, these two words instantly became silent.
...
Didao, the capital of Longxi County, Daqin.
From early May when the Qiang people went deep into Longxi County to plunder and raped and killed more than 10,000 people in the three counties of Longxi in order to retaliate against the Qin Dynasty, Longxi, which was originally full of business, became depressed.
Because not only the local people in Longxi were killed and plundered by the Qiang people, but also hundreds of merchants who stayed overnight outside the city.
No one knows whether the Qiang people will come again. No one wants to die in the northwest wasteland for no reason, nor do they want to be captured by the Qiang people and enter the deserted northwest desert. Therefore, when the Longxi border army mobilized the scout cavalry everywhere.
The merchants who did not have much goods backlogged on Didao basically returned home. Most of the ones left were large merchants with large furs and other goods.
It’s not that they don’t want to leave, but that if so many goods are transported out of Didao, if the Qiang people come again, not only will they be able to take over their own lives, but most of their wealth will be lost.
At least it is safe to stay in the county seat Didao. It is nothing more than spending more accommodation and resettlement of goods. However, compared with all the lives and life, this loss is completely negligible.
However, after the night of early May, the Qiang people who entered the territory of Daqin seemed to have been afraid of the Longxi Bian Army who were cruising around because of their fear and vigilance. They seemed to have never appeared before, and disappeared into the vast northwest desert and never appeared again.
.
The panic-hukou counties in Longxi gradually began to calm down.
The people can calm down, but the frontiers such as Didao, Kuanghan, and the defenders of Lintao counties did not dare to relax at all. Ordinary people do not know the emperor's actions on what the Qiang people did in Longxi County this time, but
However, the Longxi border army had already received a document from Longxi from Xianyang.
General Xin Sheng of Longxi was directly dismissed from his post with a stick of sixty; General Ying Yi of Longwei Mansion was dismissed from his post with a whip of eighty. He clearly told all the Longxi border troops that the second emperor who was far away in Xianyang was furious.
In fact, at this time, the Qin army had long been accustomed to foreign races invading border counties, which was probably because the Huns often did this. In the past hundred years, there were no thousands of people in the frontier who were killed by the Huns and Qiang people.
, Yuezhi kidnapped or killed?
This is also one of the reasons why the Frontier counties have always been sparsely populated.
Including Emperor Shi, there were few severe punishments for the leading generals on duty. Because if they were really convicted, General Meng Tian would have been beaten to death long ago and demoted to an ordinary person.
However, the First Emperor only expelled the Huns back then, but now the second emperor is easily a disaster for the Emperor Qin border for decades. In his anger, which general dares to dare to do so.
Take it lightly.
More than a month later, the 50,000 elite troops of Sujiao were launched into Longxi County. In another half a month, the two commanders of Longwei Prefecture gathered in Longxi County and brought the emperor's official edict.
Soon, the people in several counties in Longxi learned that the imperial court was about to move westward to punish the Qiang people and dared to slaughter the people of the Qin Dynasty. At the same time, the pensions for the casualties were also issued.
Within the next month and a half, a large number of food, supplies and military supplies began to be transported from Xianyang to Didao, the capital of Longxi County, and then gathered towards Lintao with Didao as the center.
With Jiuyuan Hou, Taibao General Meng Tian personally led an army of 50,000 to Didao, the capital of Longxi County, and then moved to the county seat of Longxi, the most marginal northwest of Longxi, to take charge, indicating that the preparations for the Qin Dynasty to advance westward have been completed.
On July 30, the first year of the Second Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, after three months of preparation, the Longxi Border Army and the Jiuyuan Border Army of the Qin Dynasty divided into four groups from Jiuyuan and Longxi, and began to advance westward in a large-scale westward direction.
The first army consisted of 50,000 elite troops of Jiuyuan Army, 10,000 cavalry, 30,000 infantry and 10,000 baggage troops. Under the leadership of Meng Hao, deputy general of the Jiuyuan Army, set off from Jiuyuan Fortress, crossed the Wuliang Suhai to start sweeping Jiuyuan
West region.
The second and third armies were also composed of the Jiuyuan Army, with 10,000 cavalry, 30,000 infantry and 10,000 baggage troops. They were respectively set out from Kuohan by the deputy general of the Jiuyuan Army, Su Jiao and Shima.
The Sujiao army walked through the Huangshui River and advanced westward; the Shujian army walked through the Datong River and advanced westward along the Qilian Mountains.
The place where Su Jiao and Shejian's army advanced westward is the famous Hexi Corridor of the Silk Road. (To be continued. Please search for Piao Tianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!)
