Chapter 427 The wolf smoke and bad news from the northwest(1/2)
With Gu Tingye's return to Beijing, the entire capital was undercurrents, waiting to watch the fun, but what surprised them was.
Neither Yuan Wenshu nor Gu Tingye had any movement, and time passed so smoothly.
Until three months later, a memorial from the northwest broke the peace of the capital and the Xia Kingdom rose up.
The new emperor of Xia State could not help but see that the new emperor of Wei State had not yet established a foothold, so he decisively launched an army.
The person who led the army this time was King Mian of Hong. From the candidates for the army, the ambition of the Emperor of Xia can be seen.
Therefore, Emperor Chengyou attached great importance to this memorial and specially convened a grand dynasty meeting.
"My dear friends, Xia State raises an army to invade my border. What do you think? Duke Qin, please tell me first?" Emperor Chengyou said
"I'm telling Your Majesty that the Western Xia is coming in a raging way this time, and I'm afraid the goal is very small, but the old ministers are also confident that as long as the logistics supply is guaranteed, there will be no turmoil in the northwest." Liu Wei said
"Well, the Ministry of Revenue, we must ensure the supply of food and grass in the northwest. If there is any problem, I will only ask!" Emperor Chengyou said
Then the court scattered, yes, it was the court scattered, because no one knew better about the situation in the northwest than Liu Wei.
Since Liu Wei said that there is no problem, then naturally there is no problem. If there is any problem, it should be able to solve it.
After the court was dispersed, Yuan Wenshu followed Liu Wei and returned to the Duke of Qin's mansion together, and all the way to the study.
After entering the study, Liu Wei's face changed. In fact, his mood was not as calm as he looked upwards just now.
He was very anxious, but he couldn't show it because he was a pillar of the northwest, and when he was in chaos, he would be in chaos.
"Sanlang, Wang Mian is not good at coming this time. I am very worried about the situation in the northwest. Brother Gan may not be Wang Mian's opponent." Liu Wei said
"Grandfather, is Wang Mian really that powerful? Even Uncle Gan is no match for you? Will you?" Yuan Wenshu said
"Hmph, you kid got a bargain last time. Then Wang Mian came from a poor family. How could he be an easy person?" Liu Wei said
"Of course I know this, but grandfather, uncle and others are not bad either? Maybe they are not against Wang Mian?" Yuan Wenshu said
"Hey, I hope this is the case. You don't know. According to the news, the soldiers Wang Mian brought this time were all the soldiers he started with."
"It was all brought by him from the Xiajin border, not the soldiers on the northwest border. They have just won the battle and are in high morale."
"On the other hand, we haven't fought a war for many years, so the outcome is unpredictable?" Liu Wei said worriedly.
"What? Grandfather, are you saying that Wang Mian brought his soldiers to the northwest? What did Xia Kingdom think? Aren't they afraid of the Jin Kingdom's counterattack?" Yuan Wenshu said.
"I can't understand this. The emperor of Xia State is so confident. He is really not afraid of the Jin State's counterattack?" Liu Wei said
"By the way, grandfather, since Wang Mian has come here, who is in charge of the Jin Kingdom now?" Yuan Wenshu said
"On the Xiajin border, Liang King Li Jizong is now in charge." Liu Wei said
"Oh, it's this old friend? Grandfather, then I seem to know what's going on. The situation doesn't seem to be. We're thinking so bad?" Yuan Wenshu said.
"Hmm? What did you think of? Don't hesitate, say it quickly." Liu Wei said
"Grandfather, don't worry, actually that's what he is. Think about it, how could the Emperor of Xixia change his commander temporarily? He even changed his soldiers?"
"Then there is only one possibility. Wang Mian was suspicious, so he came to our side. I guess someone in the Western Xia royal family had no idea." Yuan Wenshu said
"Hmm? What you said makes sense, but this cannot solve the current problem. Even if Wang Mian has an idea in his mind, he will definitely do his best in this battle." Liu Wei said
"Grandfather, even if he puts all his strength in his power, we are not vegetarians. When his three axes are finished, there is nothing to worry about." Yuan Wenshu said
"Well, what you said makes sense. If you want to win, it may be a bit difficult, but if it is just delayed, it will be fine." Liu Wei said
"So grandfather, we don't have to worry about our uncle's side at all. We have to worry now, will anyone in Beijing make us stumbling?" Yuan Wenshu said.
"Hmm? What do you mean is that someone in Beijing has other ideas?" Liu Wei said
"Grandfather, this is a must-have to guard against others. Nowadays, the vassal kings in various places are not so honest. This experience must be eyeliner. What if they are at that time? So I have to be careful." Yuan Wenshu said.
"Well, I understand, okay, you should go back as soon as possible. Stay here for a long time and let other people see the clues." Liu Wei said
"If my grandson knows grandfather, then grandson will go back first." After saying that, he bowed and left the study room, and walked all the way to his house.
The rest of the people in this capital were naturally very concerned about the Duke of Qin's Mansion, so they all knew about it as soon as Yuan Wenshu came out.
After they heard about Yuan Wenshu's news, they all guessed the reality of the northwest, but they could not see much from Yuan Wenshu's expression.
However, Yuan Wenshu did not care about the outside world's troubles, but continued to accompany his wife to raise her baby at home. For him, this is the number one thing.
In the blink of an eye, half a year passed, and everything was as expected by Yuan Wenshu, after the initial fierce attack.
Wang Mian simply stopped and did not move at all. Gan Chongyue was not in a hurry. The two sides were confronting each other at the border, and no one was doing anything.
Today, Yuan Wenshu seemed particularly nervous. It was not because of anything else, because his wife was about to give birth again, so he was very anxious at this time.
Listening to the screams of the lady inside, he was secretly anxious, but he couldn't help with such things, so he could only do it outside.
As time passed slowly, Yuan Wenshu was getting more and more anxious. I don’t know how long it took, and the cry of a baby finally came from the room.
"Born, born, hahaha, madam, how is the situation?" Yuan Wenshu asked.
At this time, the Wenpo said, "Don't worry, the mother and son are safe, you have another young master."
"Ah? Hahaha, OK, OK, go and receive the reward." Yuan Wenshu said
After Yuan Wenshu finished speaking, he hurried into the room and walked straight to the wife's bed, looking at the pale-faced lady.
Yuan Wenshu said with distress, "Madam, thank you for your hard work, we won't give birth in the future."
"What did you say, official? Are there so many people?" Minglan said
"What's wrong with so many people? What can't be said about this? I feel sorry for my wife and it's not enough? Besides, having two sons is enough. What do you want to have so many children?" Yuan Wenshu said.
Minglan was very moved after hearing this. Although she did not show it, Yuan Wenshu could feel the wife's intentions.
After Yuan Wenshu's child was born, Yuan Wenshu had more daily affairs, and another year passed.
On this day, bad news came from the north. The Liao Kingdom sent troops again after two years, and the momentum this time was greater than before.
After receiving the news, Emperor Chengyou hurriedly held a grand court meeting. After some discussion, he finally decided to lead his troops to the north.
Because it was a northern matter, Yuan Wenshu didn't care, but he knew that the situation behind it was a little bad.
So after he returned to the mansion, he wrote a letter to the southwest, asking Yang Xin to prepare 100,000 troops and ready to support the northwest at any time.
Yes, Yuan Wenshu speculated that the reason why the Liao Kingdom sent troops was because the influence of the Western Xia Dynasty might have reached some cooperation.
If he had expected it was not bad, Wang Mian would take action immediately in the northwest, and the situation would only be worse when it arrived.
As time goes by, the development of things confirms Yuan Wenshu's speculation, and Wang Mian from the northwest has indeed taken action.
The situation took a sharp turn for a while. Although Wei State has always been very strong, this time it was facing two teams at the same time.
At the same time, the pressure on logistics has obviously reached a higher level, and now the four people can't see it by chance.
But as time goes by, this will definitely happen, so Emperor Chengyou was also a little panicked at this time.
He summoned the Duke of England and Duke of Qin into the imperial study room. It was not until an hour later that the two dukes came out of the imperial study room.
The two people who came out of the Imperial Study Room had a bad look, but they quickly recovered.
Because they knew that anyone could be confused, but the two of them could never be confused. If they were in chaos, then the Great Wei would be over.
So they looked calm and went to Liu Wei's mansion. After they arrived at the study, they asked someone to find Yuan Wenshu.
"Old guy, it seems that this level is not easy to pass?" Liu Wei said
"Yes, it depends on whether that kid Yuan Wenshu has a backup plan. If he doesn't have it, it would be really difficult." British justice
"You old guy, don't worry so much. I understand that brat. He definitely has a backup plan, but I just don't know how much he can save." Liu Wei said
"I hope this is the case." Britain was fair. After saying that, both of them stopped talking and just waited for Yuan Wenshu to come.
When Yuan Wenshu saw the visitor, he did not delay at all. After cleaning up a little, he followed the visitor to the Duke of Qin's mansion.
After a while, I arrived at the gate of the mansion and then came all the way to the study.
"Grandfather, is the old Duke here too?" Yuan Wenshu said
"Okay, there is no need to say anything extra polite. Sanlang, how many backup plans have you prepared in the southwest? Let's take a look with us two old guys." Liu Wei said
"Grandfather, what are you planning to do?" Yuan Wenshu looked at Liu Wei and said
"Okay, when is this time? Don't hide it from me. Just tell me directly. How many people can you send out in the southwest?" Liu Wei said
"Grandfather, if you want to ensure the stability of the southwest, your grandson will have to do at most, and send out 150,000 troops. If there are more, I am afraid that I will not be able to suppress Dali." Yuan Wenshu said.
"Huo. So much, it seems that you kid is busy with a lot of work. Go back and write a letter to the southwest and ask them to go northwest quickly. Lao Zhang and I will go to the palace to ask for an order." Liu Wei said
After saying that, Liu Wei was about to leave, and the British Duke followed closely behind. When Yuan Wenshu saw it, he hurriedly stopped the two of them.
"Grandfather, you are too anxious. You should listen to your grandson first. Before you came to see you, your grandson had already sent the letter."
"So you don't have to be so anxious. Just go early tomorrow morning, but my grandson did not mobilize 150,000 troops, only 100,000." Yuan Wenshu said
"Good boy, you're doing a pretty job, but we both have to leave. Without delay, it will change. Go back and prepare quickly, and you're about to set off." Liu Wei said
"Ah? Grandfather, I'll go too?" Yuan Wenshu said
"Nonsense, who can command the 100,000 troops in the southwest except you? How can you do it if you don't go?" Liu Wei said
"But grandfather, my son has just been born, are you going again?" Yuan Wenshu said
"Okay, when is it now? Are you still thinking about this? At worst, I can bring all my family and go together." Liu Wei said
