Chapter 61 The Maid

Li Chiying brought her maid to outside Lingzhou City.

Although spring has passed, it is like a big garden outside Lingzhou City.

The hillside is full of bamboo and flowers, and even some Gobi Deserts are planted with beets. They are surrounded by endless turquoise green, and then red, white, yellow, purple, and bright colors are mixed with endless turquoise green to the horizon.

In fact, it is still mainly green. Food is the most important thing for people. They change from nomadic life to farming life. The most important thing for them is food. Although Wang Hua sent batches of grain, even fools knew that this was just a temporary solution. Wang Hua could not support them for the rest of their lives.

This is Wang Hua's golden finger, and he did a lot of publicity afterwards. Otherwise, these side jobs would still not be able to be promoted.

However, the hillsides where crops cannot be grown are used in large quantities. The small bamboos grow extremely slender, and the smooth and tender small bamboo poles sway beautifully in the wind, which is beautiful and charming. But they will not be harvested after a few months and then fermented into pulp.

The same is true for beets. Nowadays, they are just green seedlings. Anyway, the common people cannot distinguish between them and radishes. In fact, it can also be regarded as a vegetable. Not only that, it is impossible to make nomadic people change their living habits at once. Every household still has large livestock such as cattle, horses and sheep. However, after the beet is ripe, the residue and vegetable leaves after the sugar are squeezed are the best feed. There is also an effect. Some beet types have very good leaves.

Especially for large-scale planting like this, with endless green leaves and red leaves, and the breeze blowing, the entire plain of Yasuzhou becomes green seas and yellow seas, adding a beautiful scenery to Yasuzhou. These two things have been harvested for several months, but there are two things that are already being harvested.

Although porcelain is not as good as porcelain from the porcelain kilns of the King of Jiangnan painters, it can be done with the research and development of dozens of technicians among the King of Painters. If it weren't for the invasion of the Sinuoluo, many large orders had been ordered.

There are flowers. Many places have been ruined by the Three Kingdoms' troops, but many grass flowers still bloom. Now some people pick the flowers and sell them to Wang Hua's subordinates by pound.

But this harvest is still very limited. After all, flowers have not grown much, and wild flowers continue to occupy a large share in the middle. But this has given the people hope.

In short, this vitality is extremely moving and the scenery is even more beautiful.

So Li Chiying had nothing to do and often moved outside the city to see the beautiful scenery outside the city.

Que'er lay in a piece of beet and looked at the tender vegetable Ye Wen and said, "Princess, can this thing turn into sugar?"

"Yes, but not change it. Erlang won't let the people grow so many."

"But it looks very different from sugarcane." She had never been to Lingnan and Li Chiying had never been to. Therefore, she had never eaten fresh longan and lychees, but the sugarcane had been stored for a long time, and even in Jiangnan, she had eaten it in Luoyang, Chang'an.

These two things are different no matter how you look at them.

Li Chiying thought for a while and said, "The appearance is different and the effect is the same. Maybe it is like an inkstone. Clay can be used as an inkstone, tiles can be used as an inkstone, and stones can be used as an inkstone."

This answer made Queer feel dissatisfied, but I waited and saw that it would be a male or a female in the future.

At this moment, a soldier came over on a horse, came to Li Chiying and saluted respectfully, and said, "Mr. Zhu, please invite the little princess."

In fact, there were dozens of guards not far away, scattered in all directions and were alert.

Now many unclear cases have come to understand. Only Li Chiying's disappearance in Fengzhou has not been found out. Although the Eight Prefectures are not Fengzhou now, to put it bluntly, even if someone captures Li Chiying, it is difficult to take out the Eight Prefectures. However, Wang Hua still sent a large number of guards to guard her.

It’s not Li Chiying, but mainly because of her complicated background, involving Li Dan and herself, anything can happen.

"I understand, Que'er, let's go back." After saying that, she walked towards Lingzhou City. She came out to relax and did not take a sedan chair or a car. She walked all the way. She also walked back all the way.

This low-key and simplicity made the people like her very much, thinking that she is a good princess.

When he was about to reach Zhu Tong's door, Zhang Shuo came over and stopped Li Chiying. He asked, "Little Princess, have you heard the news about Mr. Wang?"

He had been in Lingzhou for several days, but there was still no progress. Zhu Tong was splashing water and couldn't get in. Although he asked Li Chiying to help him, he was still worried that he had not seen Wang Hua himself. The main reason was that he didn't know where Wang Hua was. If he knew, even if Wang Hua was killing the enemy in front of the two armies, he would rush over and talk to him.

But I don’t know the whereabouts of Guan Jian Wang Hua.

Li Chiying shook her head.

"Then do you hear where he is?"

"Mr. Zhang, this time the blood camp battle was heavy, and he suffered heavy casualties," Li Chiying said this, a little annoyed. He was still confused, but a large number of soldiers were brought back, some were buried in the martyrs' cemetery, and some were returned to the original tribes and asked them to be buried according to national customs.

But the coffin with tens of thousands is still shocking.

If it weren't for the empress and a minister in the court, could there be so many soldiers who died in the blood camp, or so many soldiers who died in the court? This sacrifice was completely unnecessary. As an important official in the court, you did not persuade the emperor but came to force Wang Hua, which made her a little dissatisfied.

She said again: "After this heavy sacrifice, Erlang still has to divide his troops to deal with the Tubo people and the Turks. I don't know about the war, but I have heard that Mochuo and Tubo Sinuolu are not easy to deal with. Besides, their 170,000 troops under them are all elite soldiers. Not only do they have to defeat them, but they also have to rescue the people they captured. This is not easy for Mr. Zhang, so don't divide Erlang's heart at this time."

I didn't know that later, when Zhu Tong was found, Zhu Tong also told her some related things. The Tubo people were not scary. In fact, after arriving in Taozhou, Sinuoluo captured thousands of people and moved them to Jishi Mountain. However, there were a large number of Tubo prisoners in the eight states, and these were regular soldiers, who exchanged them for the captured people. I believe that the Tubo people were still very happy. But what proportion could Tubo accept it?

It is impossible to have one to one, one to two, and it is not cost-effective, but one to three or one to four, or one to five to exchange people, and everyone is discussing.

In addition, there are nearly one million Han people living in Tubo for various reasons. Except for a very small number of people, other people live very lowly. Wang Hua also wants to exchange some of them for a few. However, this is a bit difficult. After all, most of the eight states are Hu people and foreign people, and even soldiers are the same. If they exchange this way, the people and soldiers will think that Wang Hua is discriminating.

Exchanges are for exchanges, but how can people and soldiers not have misunderstandings? This is also under discussion.

But what about the Turks?

The Turks were not captured, even Wang Hua took action, but when facing powerful enemies, he had to be cautious. During this period, nearly seven or eight thousand people had already moved Mochu to the north side of Yinshan.

So it's very difficult.

But from different perspectives, they also look at problems differently. Zhang Shuo knew it was difficult, but he was also afraid of this. He drove away the Tubo people, and the Tubo people now attacked Qinzhou. Then the Blood Camp took Qinzhou by the way, and Qinzhou was lost, and then straightened the Yuanzhou. The upper part was Weizhou, Chengzhou, Wuzhou, Dangzhou, Fuzhou, Diezhou, Taozhou, not to mention Linzhou, which had already fallen into the hands of the Blood Camp, would all be occupied by the Blood Camp.

At that time, the soldiers of the Blood Camp made serious sacrifices, but Wang Hua wanted to hand over his subordinates, but his subordinates were unwilling to do so. At least most of the prefectures were not obtained from the court, but were stolen from the Tubo people. Wang Hua had to rely on them to fight, and in the end he would only obey their opinions.

Then in the north, Wang Hua stationed a large army in Xiazhou, which showed that he was also interested in several northern states.

Therefore, if you want to stop it, you have to stop it now. After the Blood Camp defeated Tubo, there was no time to do anything.

He was about to speak, but Zhu Tong had already come from afar. After he came over, he said, "Little Princess, I have something to ask for. Mr. Zhang, you are here too. Just in time, I will tell you a message."

What news? Zhang Shuo was guessing in his heart and went into Zhu Tong's mansion with Li Chiying.

Several people sat down, and Zhu Tong first said to Zhang: "Shilarious Minister Zhang, there was a good news ahead. First, the governor of Qinzhou Tao Hanming did not allow the Tubo people to attack the city in Qinzhou. General Xue Song defeated another Tubo army at Jieting, killed 6,000 enemies, and forced him to retreat. Then, Sinuoluo went south to Wuzhou and was attacked by Sun Renxian, the governor of Songzhou who came to support. In addition, he was worried about Jishishan, so he led his troops to retreat from Xiqingshan."

It's very simple. It may be that it will be that simple in history books in the future, but Zhang said that the process is not that simple.

When he came, the Tubo army was approaching Minzhou, and Minzhou was in danger. So it was only a matter of time before Tubo attacked Qinzhou. However, under the guidance of Xueying, the young master of Lao Xue family, grew rapidly in recent years, and he believed that he had made achievements. However, the guy Tao Hanming, the governor of Qinzhou, could still defend Qinzhou City when he wanted no soldiers and generals in the city. He did not believe it very much. There must be a blood camp involved in the middle. Sun Renxian came from Songzhou, and there was also the shadow of the blood camp.

But from the interests of the country and the people, it is a good thing to do this.

So he listened quietly.

"Yesterday in Xiqingshan, the Tubo people fought with our blood camp. The army of Xinuoluo was almost all Mo. Early this morning, he led his troops to escape from Jishi Mountain to Zishan. Starting from Jishi Mountain, he entered our Tang Dynasty territory to the north."

"Sinuoluo was defeated? Jishishan was recovered?" Zhang Shi asked with his mouth wide open.

"Yes, let me tell you again. General Manager Guo sent troops from Liangzhou and was setting off for Dafeichuan. If there was no accident, Dafeichuan would soon become the territory of the Tang Dynasty." As he said that, Zhu Tong handed over the information coming from the front.

However, there was a news that Zhu Tong did not say. Xueying and Guo Yuanzhen used Chiling as the dividing line, from east of Chiling to south of Jishishan, which belonged to the territory occupied by Xueying. This land area is not small. As the east gate of this land, it may not be interested in other states, but Taozhou and Diezhou cannot be handed over to the Tang Dynasty court.

Zhang said, "While the news is unknown, no matter what, this is good news that makes people excited."

But he was even more worried about the court. With such combat power and such tricks, if the court did not come up with a good idea, it might obey the Wei family's An Sect and ended up bleeding.

As for Guo Yuanzhen, it was obviously following Wang Hua to polish his leather shoes, but this was a good thing. If Wang Hua was allowed to occupy Dafeichuan, countless Tuyuhun people would be quickly gathered in their palms by Wang Hua, and the blood camp would have a headache. However, Guo Yuanzhen's move was also very headache. It was easy to occupy, but it was difficult to defend. Think about what consequences would be if Tubo heard this news in the future?

These two places will become a life and death field. But because Guo Yuanzhen was brought in, even the imperial court could not avoid it and had to be brought in.

After rubbing his temples, there was only one real good news. The Blood Camp was better than he expected and did not take the opportunity to expand eastward.

He said disgustedly: "Congratulations to the Blood Camp, so that the Blood Camp can concentrate the main force and fight against the Turks."

"Mr. Zhang, it's not that simple. In this battle, our blood camp sacrificed again and sacrificed five or six thousand warriors."

Xue Song died in Jieting in Jieting and the subsequent harassment tactics, and there were also dangerous roads in Xiqingshan, resulting in a few non-war loss. Xiao Song led the army to siege the city casualties, which was the casualties of Sinuoluo, who fled to Jishi Mountain and immediately led the army to Zishan. However, there were still some levels without news, and there were another casualties during the capture. Geshuhan was killed and killed by Sinuoluo's subordinates in the battle.

Zhu Tong said that five or six thousand people, plus the militia, were only high and not low.

Of course, facing this battle result, it is also a miracle that these casualties are also a miracle.

"And to stop Mochu, he must keep the people's property he captured, and he must cut off his retreat. Therefore, the camp supervisor made some arrangements, and it is not yet time to be made public. Therefore, in order to confuse the enemy, the army of Jishishan must pause and rest. Even when the time comes, he cannot draw out much troops. Jishishan must leave a large army to prevent the Tubo people from counterattacking. There is also the court, we must also send troops to prevent them from killing the Houmai behind our eight prefectures. Mr. Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhang Shu smiled bitterly and could not answer.

"In this way, we still can't draw many troops. But you can write a memorial to report to the court. After these two battles, our blood camp was seriously injured. It is another good time to conquer the blood camp. If you miss this time, the blood camp will expand again, and there will be no chance. But remember that every time the court attacked our blood camp, our blood camp will make the court suffer a lot. The next time this happens, we are not willing to guard Chang'an City for the court. Once again, we are not willing to guard Luoyang City for the court."

The last sentence is murderous.

Then Zhu Tong turned to Li Chiying.

Wang Hua's plan is very good, but it is difficult to implement. If you want to achieve a miraculous effect, you must have nearly a thousand soldiers, disguised as ethnic people, and combined with old people and children, plus women. This tribe has at least two thousand people. This is a large tribe, and Mochu is planning to plunder the Hu people or foreign people to enrich the people in the south of the desert. This large tribe will immediately enter Mochu's vision.

The hardest thing is the future.

If you want to not harm the elderly and young women, it is best to be Turkic. There are actually Turkic people in the Eight Prefectures. Of course, there are more Liuhu Prefectures and Fengsheng Prefectures. But this more refers to the number of eight prefectures. In fact, there are not many. They are all oppressed and fled to the Tang Dynasty and placed in the northwest.

In terms of the number of people, the most were Zhaowu's nine surnames. Once again, Dangxiang people, there were a few Shatuo people, Tubo people, Qiang people, Uighur people and Shiwei other ethnic groups. The main task of these Fanzi was to raise horses for the court. This was also Mochu's biggest gain. More than 10,000 war horses were sent back to the Turks.

Wang Hua was still helpless in this regard. He didn't have enough time to prepare, so he could only sit back and watch these people and livestock be abducted by the Turks.

But there were not many Turkic people in the Eight Prefectures. Even if there were, there were not so many Turkic warriors. They used people from other tribes to pretend to be? What should I do if I saw it through? Even if there were, I was not very relieved.

Dangxiang people were a vulnerable group in Tubo, and Mochu also did not obey them. As long as they entered the Turkish vision, they would not end up well. Tuyuhun people were treated better in Tubo than Dangxiang people, but in Mochu's eyes, they were similar to Dangxiang people. Moreover, there were many Tuyuhun people in the eight prefectures, but the number of Tuyuhun people in Liuhu Prefecture was small, so it was not a good choice.

So in the end, I focused my attention on the Jiu surname of Zhaowu. Some Jiu surnames of Zhaowu have been flirting with the Turks. Therefore, it may be the second race in Mochu's eyes. However, I was still afraid of accidents, so I tried to set off as late as possible. When I was about to start, let the selected tribe enter the field of vision of the soldiers under Mochu's soldiers. This will reduce unnecessary sacrifices of the people.

But it is also a very risky action. The elderly and children may be abused and killed by the Turks, and women may still suffer bad consequences. Which tribe is willing to participate in this mission?

Zhu Tong has carefully selected the product during this period, and there are many people in the Jiu surname of Zhaowu, but they may not be happy.

Finally, I found five or six tribes whom I thought were loyal and called their chiefs to discuss. This made people take the initiative. I also said that after the matter was completed, the Blood Camp would vigorously support it, not only economically, but also increase their strength to many weapons, and also give them a large number of prisoners of war to fill the population.

However, all the chiefs were hesitant, and in the end, a chief surnamed Shi stood up. He agreed, but there were several conditions.

The first condition is that his ethnic group has four or five thousand people, scattered in all parts of the eight states. Therefore, he cannot draw the bloodline from all over the place. And he can only draw 1,500 ethnic group members, which is to retain his bloodline. Zhu Tong immediately agreed to this condition.

The second condition is that more than 200 soldiers from the surname Shi also entered the blood camp, or among the militia, but these are the future of the surname Shi. Since the surname Shi made this sacrifice, the soldiers could no longer bear this risk. Therefore, the soldiers could only be drawn from the other nine surnames of Zhaowu.

Zhu Tong also agreed, but he smiled and said, "The old patriarch is not that dangerous. It is possible that there are several ethnic groups who will be abused by the Turks, but not many. This is what the camp governor treated it carefully considering everyone's mood. As for the soldiers, there are still dangers in the battle, and it is even more dangerous than this mission. But if you propose it, we will agree."

This matter was finalized, but it was not over. The soldiers and the people were summoned together. They were not from the same tribe, but just belonged to the Jiusen clan of Zhaowu. Even though the people were from the Shi family, they did not live in the same place for many years. Just entering Liuhu Prefecture in this way, they would be discovered immediately.
