I am a cat in the palace

"Hey, His Royal Highness King Zhen really loves cats like crazy, and he brought cats with him on the battlefield?"

The whispers of the generals came into my ears, but I just turned my buttocks, changed my posture and nestled in the padded pocket in my fleshy arms, and I just thought silently: What do you ordinary people know, and what do you know? Waiting for you to experience the majesty and prestige of killing the Quartet!

Because of Yu Kingdom's sudden mobilization of troops, Yanwei's army immediately increased its troops to the three dangerous passes in front of Shengyu Pass, and Ling Wuzheng was going to inspect the arrangement of these three lines of defense today with flesh and blood.

Just as I was thinking about it, my fleshy hand reached into the cotton pocket again and scratched my chin, "You heard what uncle said just now, although these three lines of defense are still within the scope of the Yanwei Army's control, but from time to time they will If you encounter spies from the Yu Kingdom or cavalrymen who came to make a surprise attack, if there is any unexpected situation, you should stay in your cotton pocket obediently and don’t come out. The sword has no eyes, and it will be troublesome if you are accidentally injured.”

"I'm very powerful!" How could I be accidentally injured, how flexible is my skill?And my claws are still very sharp, so I express my dissatisfaction!

But Rourou patted Zhen on the head. I don't know when he dared to be so presumptuous. Of course, this must be condoned by Zhen.

"Then you should suck my blood first before you come out. With your small body alone, if you fall into the crowd, you will be trampled into cat cakes immediately."

I:……

The State of Yu sent 50 troops, with Dongye King as the marshal, and the third prince Situ Mao and the Marquis of the Warring States as the deputy commanders, starting from Ganna City, the capital of the State of Yu, all the way to Shengyuguan.

As soon as Ling Wuzheng got the news, he immediately sent three [-]-mile expedited reports to the capital, and handed them over to the puppet emperor, the dignitary!Ask for money!Need food!

It's a pity that the person on the throne in the capital only controls less than half of Daxia's land. In the east, the second prince and the Nanyun army gathered [-] troops to fight for the throne. In the southwest, King Shun raised troops to defend the throne. Orthodox, when he is in a state of desperation and can't take care of himself, how can there be any people, money, or food to send to the north.The new senior ministers in the imperial court, even the treacherous concubine, were still rejoicing that the hundreds of thousands of Yanwei troops in the north seemed to only intend to protect King Zhen and sit on the mountain to watch the tigers fight, and did not rush into Beijing to get a share of the pie It means that they don't need to use troops from the three parties for the time being, but who knows that Yu State will send troops to knock on the pass at this juncture.

The Empress Dowager Jian Guo immediately issued an imperial edict to Ling Wuzheng. There was no money and food, and the Yanwei Army was asked to raise it themselves, but the Overseer sent a group of troops to watch the Yanwei Army fight.

However, as soon as these warlords arrived within the sphere of influence of the Yanwei Army, they were tied up in strings and thrown into prisons. Ling Wuzheng said: These people all have hidden secrets. Those who are going to communicate with foreign countries are all spies of the State of Yu, and they are temporarily detained, and they will kill the sacrificial flags when they engage in battle with the army of the State of Yu.

Empress Dowager Jian Guo: ...

Jiangui: It's unreasonable!Against him!I will definitely kill this guy in the future!

Cabinet ministers:  …

Duan Zhenghong: There is no need to send warlords over there. Ling Wuzheng is still needed to resist Yu's army at the border. Now he has neither food nor money, and there will not be a single soldier sent to reinforce him in the capital.After this great battle, I believe that the Yanwei army will be seriously injured. Originally, he sat unscathed in the northern border and watched us compete with the second prince, snipe and clam. Let's take advantage of it once.

When Ling Wuzheng saw the imperial decree that was also urgently sent from the middle of Beijing, which said that Yanwei Army should raise money and food by itself, he and Wei Yin looked at each other in a very tacit understanding, and both burst out laughing .

Obviously, they had already expected the reaction from the puppet emperor in the capital, and had already made preparations for it.

"Since we are asked to raise money by ourselves, then let's raise money by ourselves. The six states in the south of the Lingnan are very rich, Ah Zhi, then please take this imperial decree and go to the six states in the south of the Lingnan to urge the Yanwei army to pay. In order to prevent bandits on the road from taking our food and pay, it doesn’t take too much, just bring a 15 Yanwei army to protect the vehicles that escort the food and pay.”

When the report from the county yamen of the six prefectures and counties in Lingnan was delivered to the Empress Dowager Jian Guo, her lips trembled with anger. The Yanwei army directly occupied the four prefectures in Lingbei in the name of the King of Lingbei. These are places with bitter cold, and now, in the name of collecting food and salaries, they have blatantly deployed their military forces to the six states in the south of the Lingnan.

Calculated in this way, the four frontier states in the north, the four states in Lingbei, and the six states in Lingnan, in less than two years, the Yanwei army has already occupied the fourteen states in the northern part of Daxia without bloodshed. County, the area has exceeded a quarter of Daxia's land.

For several days in a row, when Ling Wuzheng was mentioned in the hall, there was a lot of screams, but it was a pity that no one dared to say such a sentence to Ling Wuzheng.

Therefore, Ling Wuzheng, who was far away in Shengyuguan, only occasionally had itchy ears or sneezed a few times, muttering that he might have caught a cold or something.

Although Ling Wuzheng worked hard to expand his territory internally before the battle to raise food and salaries for the Yanwei Army, he still attached great importance to the Yu State's army that was about to hit his doorstep, and made preparations for it.

The first tentative confrontation between the two horses was on the last day of the end of April, and on the night of the first confrontation between the two horses, Ling Wuzheng was analyzing the news from the front with various generals in the conference hall of Shengyuguan. At the time of the battle report, a news spread from Jinjiang City to Shengyuguan.

"Yan'er disappeared?"

Originally, the personal soldiers were concerned about Qing Yu, the eldest daughter of the general's family, and did not tell the news in public, but whispered in Ling Wuzheng's ear that the steward of the city lord's mansion rushed to report the news.

Who knew that the general was shocked and directly told the matter in front of all the generals, this... the little soldier wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, it was none of his business.

"Miss Yanyu is missing?" Immediately, a general familiar with Ling Wuzheng's family affairs asked.

"Isn't it already engaged to the second young master of the Bai family in Cangzhou? I remember that we agreed to get married at the beginning of next month. General, didn't you say that if the war is not urgent, you are going to rush back to Jinjiang City to send the young lady to get married?" Is it?" Another general with a better memory also asked in amazement.

This Cangzhou Bai family is one of the largest merchants in Cangzhou. In peacetime, they will form caravans to travel between Yu State and Daxia every year. When there is war, they will travel between the north and the south. The state is even one of the best wealthy business families in the northern border.

Coincidentally, this Bai family is the in-law's family of the woman that I and Wei Yin rescued from the water bandits. The woman is the daughter-in-law of the Bai family. The only seedling of the fourth generation of the Bai family.

According to the secret guard who sent her home that time, the Bai family didn't dislike her because she had fallen into the hands of the water bandits. Especially in front of the Patriarch of the Bai family, no matter what happened to Mrs. Bai, he will always recognize Mrs. Bai as his wife in this life, and from now on, his children and grandchildren will never allow concubines or maidservants in this house. , Only one husband and one wife carry each other until old age.

When I heard the report from the hidden guard, I and Rourou were very moved. No wonder that Mrs. Bai refused to give up in such a difficult time in the bandit's cave, but she would escape if she had any hope of surviving.There was such a credible man waiting in the distance, and even if she really died, her soul would fly back to meet him.

Unexpectedly, those unexpected words of Young Master Bai won the praise of the old master of the Bai family and the old man Bai.Instead of blaming him, he even praised the young master of the Bai family for being a man with great achievements and a big heart, and he deserves to be called a child of the Bai family.

Just because he heard these things about the Bai family, Ling Wuzheng paid attention to the Bai family when he was choosing a son-in-law for Yanyu.

Just looking at the words and deeds of the young master of the Bai family, the old master of the Bai family, and the old man of the Bai family, we can see that the family style of the Bai family is very upright.

Ling Wuzheng felt pity for his daughter, and he knew the joy of being in love. Of course, he hoped that the family his daughter would marry would not have the unhealthy tendencies of those three wives and four concubines. .

Of course, Ling Wuzheng also needs to pay more attention to the son-in-law himself.

Yan Yu's fiancé, the second young master of the Bai family, although he didn't have any outstanding accomplishments, was generous and open-minded. Wife, being a second young mistress doesn't need to worry about the trivial matters of the whole big family, and can continue to live the leisurely life of playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting just like the boudoir. The more Wuzheng thinks about it, the more she feels suitable. I really think that Yanyu will be able to marry Had a great time.

But—who knows?

Seeing that the three books and six ceremonies were over, and the wedding day was just around the corner, Yan Yu actually disappeared.

Most people's first thought is that Miss Yanyu must have been hijacked!

But I took a look at Rourou and Wei Yin, and I felt that they should be the same as me, and I probably felt that things might not be as everyone guessed.

"At the moment when the war has just started, uncle can't be distracted, why don't you leave the matter of finding Yanyu's sister to me." Seeing Ling Wuzheng's distressed and anxious face, Rourou stood up and took the matter of finding Yanyu to himself .

"This..." Ling Wuzheng was still hesitating, but Wei Yin nodded in agreement and said: "It is appropriate to leave this matter to Shang Xin, whether it is being robbed or running away on his own, Yan Yu and the Bai family's The marriage is imminent, for the sake of her boudoir's reputation, this matter should not cause too much disturbance, it would be best to leave it to Shang Xin's secret guard camp."
