Hu Xiaotian returned to Dongliang County from the snow-white and bitter cold land of Mobei, and found that it had also begun to snow here, and Dongliang County, which had entered Layue, had also become a world covered in silver because of this snow.
Hu Xiaotian's safe return made everyone smile, he didn't care about resting, and first summoned his subordinates to inquire about the latest situation.
Yu Tianxing and Zhao Wusheng reported the latest situation to him on behalf of everyone, and it was calm for a while recently, and there was no big move on all sides, and the increase in troops in the Ankang Grassland and the infiltration of the Yulan Country were all in an orderly manner.
Kangdu's situation is also very calm, the beggar gang meeting was held as scheduled, and Qiqi and Long Xiyue got along with each other tacitly, at least for now, she was not found to have any unfavorable actions towards Long Xiyue.
Chang Fanqi, who was in charge of garrisoning in Dongluocang, also made a special trip to attend the military aircraft meeting, he waited until the end to speak, and saluted with his fists: "My lord, there are several major events in Dayong recently, Xue Daoming personally went to northern Xinjiang, and the snow in the south of Dayong has caused a large-scale disaster. ” Hu Xiaotian nodded, it didn't seem wise for Xue Daoming to dare to go to Northern Xinjiang at such a time, after all, Kangdu Li Shenzhou, a careerist who was eyeing him, it was difficult to guarantee that this guy would not take the opportunity to create a storm.
Chang Fanqi said again: "Recently, there have been many deserters from Dayong, and it seems that the situation of the southern garrison is not optimistic. ” Yu Tianxing said: "Dayong has a thin harvest this autumn, and the winter food will inevitably be stretched, not to mention that their current military food must be given priority to the northern Xinjiang, and the south will naturally be tightened."
Unfortunately, this year has encountered the coldest weather in ten years, and the southern Yongjun army is short of food and clothing, and it is normal for them to flee from the battle. ” Zhao Wusheng said: "It is not yet the coldest weather of the year, and when it is nine cold days, the Yongjiang River is frozen, I am afraid that there will be more refugees and deserters going south, and I have sent additional soldiers to strengthen the defense line along the river, so as not to cause an uncontrollable situation." ” Hu Xiaotian sighed, the Dayong Empire, which once overwhelmed Dakang in the past, has declined to such a point in just a few years after Xue Shengkang's death, not only related to Dayong's chaotic internal affairs, but also closely related to the national fortunes.
Yu Tianxing thought that Hu Xiaotian couldn't bear it, and said in a low voice: "Although the imperial court has allocated a lot of materials and food to us, because of the Xichuan refugees, we are afraid that we will have to cut back on food and clothing this winter." ” Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "I can only help as much as I can, how much can I help, how much I can help."
Yu Tianxing said respectfully: "The lord is benevolent and virtuous, and his subordinates sincerely admire him. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Let Yan Xuanming contact the Bohai State to see how much aid he can get, survive this harsh winter, and usher in a warm spring." ” Yu Tianxing said: "I have already sent him, and I have done everything I can think of."
His expression showed a little helplessness, in fact, he also knew Hu Xiaotian's intentions, the more at this time, the more it was an excellent opportunity to win the hearts of the people, but now their situation is not optimistic, how can they have the extra ability to accommodate those refugees.
After the military meeting, Hu Xiaotian went to Tongrentang accompanied by Visa to visit Qin Yutong, who was already pregnant, Qin Yutong was not only the first confidant to conceive his offspring, but also had the blood of the Mandate of Heaven, and knew much more than others in this regard.
When she came to Tongrentang, she heard that Qin Yutong had not come back from a medical visit outside, so she asked Fang Fang to know that she had gone to Fuxitang, which was a charity built by Hu Xiaotian to house orphans.
When Hu Xiaotian was about to go to Fuxitang to find her, it happened that Zhuge Guanqi and Hong Lingxue came over with their daughter, Bao'er is now one year old, and she is cute when she is born with pink carving, Hu Xiaotian stepped forward and teased for a while, and said with a smile: "My goddaughter is really getting cuter and cuter the longer she grows." ” Hong Lingxue said with a smile: "The lord likes children so much, hurry up and give birth to one himself." ” Zhuge Guanqi hurriedly let out a series of coughs, obviously thinking that his wife had said the wrong thing.
Hong Lingxue realized that she had lost her words, and her expression couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, after all, they all knew that Hu Xiaotian and Long Xiyue had been married for so long, and Long Xiyue's stomach had not moved, and this sentence might have embarrassed Hu Xiaotian.
Hu Xiaotian smiled disapprovingly: "Okay, okay, when I give birth to a son, I will marry Bao'er into the door and be my daughter-in-law." ” Zhuge Guanqi saw that he didn't mind, so he relieved his heart and said with a smile: "Of course, it's best to kiss and kiss." ” Visa said, "Even if you are born now, you are younger than Bao'er." ” Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "The female junior holds the gold brick, what are you afraid of when you are a few years younger, hurry up and work hard."
When Visa heard him say such a thing in front of outsiders, her pretty face turned red with shame, and she quickly changed the topic and said, "Sister, let's go find Sister Yutong and let her come back." ” Hong Lingxue nodded with a smile on her face, in fact, everyone understood the relationship between Visa and Hu Xiaotian, but Hu Xiaotian did make her a little embarrassed when she said it openly.
After Hong Lingxue left with her daughter and Visa, Zhuge Guanqi stopped and watched, and did not turn back until his wife's figure disappeared around the corner of the street.
Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "Reluctantly, the couple is really in love." ” Zhuge Guanqi smiled bitterly: "The lord smiled, I am now a complete daughter slave." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "The wife and son are filial, the family is reunited, and the greatest happiness in the world is nothing more than this."
Zhuge Guanqi nodded sympathetically, and said in a low voice: "The lord can live like this at any time." ” Hu Xiaotian laughed.
Zhuge Guanqi also laughed: "It's just that the lord has the world in mind, of course, it can't be as easy to satisfy as me." ” Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "Brother Guanqi is beating around the bush and saying that I am ambitious. ” "How dare you" The two returned to Tongrentang and sat down, Hu Xiaotian simply said goodbye to Zhuge Guanqi, Zhuge Guanqi said: "It seems that the real secrets of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda are all in the underground palace, after the lord left, his subordinates carefully studied all the art of war and formation diagrams handed down by their ancestors. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "What did you find?"
Zhuge Guan Qi said: "My ancestor's study of the number of organs originated from the Dakang ghost talent and ink without injury, and the development was greater than that of the ancestor Zhuge Xiaopity, and there was a leap in the generation of the ancestor Zhuge Yunchun, after careful study, I found that the most advanced in his generation was the study of astrology. ” Hu Xiaotian secretly thought in his heart that this was natural, after all, Zhuge Yunchun was in charge of interrogating the two Mandate of Heaven, he should have obtained far more knowledge from the Mandate of Heaven than this era, after the death of the Mandate of Heaven, he was responsible for the construction of the Dragon Spirit Victory Realm and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tower, when the two were completed, he realized that even he could not open it, and was finally used by the two Mandate of Heaven, and the knowledge left by the Mandate of Heaven should make Zhuge Yunchun rack his brains, and finally his heart was haggard, and he died of depression shortly after the completion of the Dragon Spirit Victory Realm and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tower.
The knowledge mastered by Zhuge Yunchun was not all left to future generations, and one of the more important ones was handed over to Zhuge Guanqi through his own hands.
Zhuge Guanqi said: "The thing that the lord said is indeed possible, maybe the ancestor really got a lot of knowledge from the outside world. ” Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "With the temperament of the soldier saint, his thirst for knowledge must be extremely strong, the Mandate of Heaven is good at spying on people's hearts, taking advantage of the weakness of the soldier saint, it is normal to reach an agreement with him, if you want to crack the secret of the year, you need to go there in person." ” Zhuge Guanqi nodded and said, "The subordinates are waiting for the call of the lord at any time." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Don't worry, I always feel that the wisdom of the soldier saint may not leave a means of countermeasures, and Brother Guanqi still needs to study the literature left by the soldier saint and make full preparations." ” Zhuge Guanqi said: "I think so too. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "What does Brother Guanqi think of the current situation in Dayong?"
Zhuge Guanqi said: "But I don't know what the situation of the lord going to the north to meet General Huo" Of course, he knew that Hu Xiaotian went to the north not only to meet Huo Shengnan, but also to persuade Wei Chi Chong to lead his troops to surrender.
Hu Xiaotian said: "General Wei Chi is afraid that he will not return to Dakang in his lifetime. ” Zhuge Guanqi said: "In this case, why hasn't General Huo come back?"
This sentence asked the key point, Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "It's not that he doesn't want to come back, but he can't let go of his subordinates." ” Zhuge Guanqi frowned, and said in a low voice: "Lord, General Wei Chi wants to use his life to fulfill his subordinates."
The north wind is howling, the northern Xinjiang Snow City is heavily guarded, the Dayong Emperor Xue Daoming has arrived here, the purpose of his visit this time is to, the old handsome Wei Chi Chong personally went out of the city to greet him, and accompanied Xue Daoming into the shabby and almost shabby Shuai Mansion.
Accompanying Xue Daoming this time was also Dong Tianjiang, who dominated Dayong by force, and after accepting the generals' visits, Xue Daoming retreated from the crowd and left Dong Tianjiang alone.
Wei Chi Chong looked at the dusty emperor, and sighed secretly in his heart, in such a bitter cold weather, he can brave the wind and snow to come thousands of miles away, which shows that the northern Xinjiang has an important position in Xue Daoming's heart, although in the name of it, but his actions are not wise, the court is undecided, internal and external difficulties, the northern Xinjiang is in a truce period, and what the soldiers lack is not the emperor's personal condolences, but military food and materials.
Although Xue Daoming brought some this time, it was still a lot of discount compared to the expectations in the army.
Wei Chichong said respectfully: "Your Majesty has traveled thousands of miles to make Lao Chen grateful and fearful, regardless of the bitter cold in the northern Xinjiang. ” Xue Daoming laughed, and said in a strange manner: "How can I listen to Lao Aiqing's meaning, I don't seem to be supposed to come, isn't this northern Xinjiang the territory of Dayong, and the soldiers of this northern Xinjiang are not my subordinates, and I can't even come in person."
Wei Chichong hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the old minister is ignorant, he doesn't choose what to say, and he has no disrespect, just thinking of His Majesty's hard work and caring about His Majesty's dragon body." ” Xue Daoming looked at Yu Chi Chong coldly, there was not much kindness in his eyes, and he didn't let Yu Chi Chong stand up from the cold ground: "My body has always been fine, the old general is still fighting in the northern Xinjiang in his sixtieth year, and he can still charge into battle, take the lead, do you think I am not as good as you" to be continued
