spring as old

When Pu Yang got on the carriage, Fang remembered that he hadn't asked Mr. why he was not a talented person at the frontier.

She thought about it, in her last life, Qianwu was the governor of Jiangzhou first, and moved to Bingzhou three years later. Before his father died, he went to Beijing to pay homage to Jiuqing, and his official career was smooth sailing.Such a person, even if he has no great ability, should be able to hold on, so that he won't be as unbearable as Mr. said, and become a "national humiliation".

After rebirth, many things are different, and a slight change in the capital can affect the place.Pu Yang couldn't speculate on the development of the situation along the original track, and he didn't know much about Qianwu.But Mr. is so categorical, it is not without evidence.

The Qiang and Hu have descended to several cities. Since the Rong Di moved into the pass 30 years ago, they have lived together alone, and they often have discord with the Han people. After so many years, they still wear the same old clothes. The Han people are big.Qianwu has lost the harmony between Qiang and Rong, and the disaster can no longer be extinguished, and Liangzhou is in danger.

The map of the Great Wei appeared in Puyang's mind. Once Liangzhou was lost, several states adjacent to Liangzhou would lose their barriers. The Xiongnu would not just ignore it. How many tens of thousands of blood stains.

Thinking that Xuande Palace is already in front of you.

The emperor was not discussing state affairs with his courtiers, but was talking to Concubine Li.He is getting old, and he doesn't treat his concubine as he did when he was young. He always wants to deal with more political affairs when he has time. When he saw Puyang coming, he smiled and made Li Concubine to step down.

Pu Yang and Concubine Li saluted, and seeing her go out, Fang Shang came forward to express his worries: "Liangzhou is an important place, and the history of assassination did not know the emergency until Qiangrong Tu Yicheng. I am afraid that I don't have a deep understanding of the counties in the prefecture. Let him suppress the bandits now, I'm afraid he will go back to his old ways." She couldn't say it was Wei Xiu's words, Wei Xiu had never made a name for herself, and the emperor would not listen to any commoner's advice on important matters in the court, she could only point out the shortcomings of the military.

The emperor had a smile on his lips, and after she finished speaking, Fang shook his head: "He just arrived in Liangzhou, so it's okay for him to be a little unfamiliar, but he also went through war when he was young, so there's no problem."

He didn't take the matter of Liangzhou to heart.Just as Puyang was about to speak again, the emperor said again: "Liangzhou is guarded by heavy troops. Even if the army is not crowded, it doesn't matter if there are border troops returning to help. There are thousands of Qiang soldiers, and there will be no chaos."

The emperor downplayed it and didn't take it seriously. There were [-] troops in Liangzhou, and a few thousand were treated like ants.But Pu Yang was worried, even if he didn't change Qianwu, he would have to have another army to help him fight.The emperor wondered: "Why are you in such distress today? There are only a few thousand people, and even the Qiang Rong can't make any waves." He also comforted Puyang, "You have never been in a war, and you don't know how to fight. Thousands of people, it's a pity. Counting the cities, the supply of supplies can't keep up, it's just a mob, it's not worth your worries. Repelling the enemy is easy, instead of thinking about this, it's better to think about how the people of Liangzhou will take care of them."

As the emperor spoke, he became sympathetic. Tens of thousands of Han people were all people under his rule. It was so tragic that they died under the knife.

In fact, there was another reason. Qianwu belonged to the King of Zhao. He had just moved the King of Jin, and the court was already in panic. Only after supporting the King of Jing was he able to stabilize it. If he moved the King of Zhao again, the government would inevitably be in turmoil.

He didn't say this, but Pu Yang also thought of it.

Sure enough, some things cannot be adjusted according to the situation.Thinking of Wei Xiu's indifferent face, Pu Yang felt helpless.

"Qianwu will be defeated in this battle, so Zhou Qi doesn't have to rush to make meritorious deeds. After Qianwu is defeated, he will gather the defeated army." Wei Xiu has a map in front of him. There are also some military defense deployments.

Yan Huan respectfully agreed.

Wei Xiu raised her hand and landed on the border of Liangzhou, she paused with her fingertips, and then went east, drawing a battle line with the shortest route.For example, if Qiang Rong was able to capture Liangzhou, Hu Qi would pass through Pingyang, Shangdang, and enter Mengjin, and within three days he could go straight to Luoyang.

Wei Xiu's eyes were on fire, and her fingertips were tightening and trembling. This was an excellent opportunity. If there were more Qiang Rong people, it was very likely that a war would start in the pass.

The pain in her leg suddenly intensified, as if it was about to go straight into her heart, Wei Xiu took a deep breath, and managed to suppress the fanaticism and hatred.The number of Qiang Rong is too small, and the imperial court has a deep foundation. It is only a matter of time before the disaster is wiped out.She took advantage of this opportunity as a good student, rather than impulsively.

"There is a veteran general named Jiang Tong in Liangzhou, who won every battle under his father's account, unfortunately..." Nowadays, everyone in the court strives for merit, and it is the same habit in the local area. There is no one behind the old general. For many years, even the number of times to climb the castle tower can be counted on one's fingers.

Yan Huan knew that she remembered the past, and wanted to comfort her, but he was not good at words, and what he said at this time would only add sadness, Wei Xiu shook her head, and took out a kit from her sleeve: "Liangzhou wants land The emperor will not rest assured that he will lead the army alone, for fear that there will be a follower. It's just that Liangzhou today is not the Liangzhou it was many years ago, and the emperor is afraid that he will make a mistake. Order Zhou Qi to gather the defeated army as much as possible, and act according to my instructions You will become famous in this battle, how embarrassing Qianwu's defeat is, how shocking Zhou Qi's victory will be."

She spoke while pointing at the map.Yan Huan listened attentively and memorized every bit.

Sooner or later the Qiang Rong moved into the pass and would cause chaos, Wei Xiu had expected it, otherwise he would not have sent Zhou Qi and the others to join the army there.After Yan Huan retreated, Wei Xiu looked at the map again, where the Qiang Rong lived, and if the chaos spread this time, other places would see profit and follow suit, how to deal with it.

After winter, the Xiongnu migrated to other places with water and grass to spend the winter, and they would return in the spring of the next year. When they saw the chaos in the pass, they were afraid that they would not be willing to sit idly by, and they would definitely go south and tear off a large piece of the Central Plains.

What if it gets to that point.

If Song and Qi were a little more decent, they would take this opportunity to go north and attack Wei. No matter how powerful Wei was, it would still be at a loss.Such a great opportunity, what a pity.

Wei Xiu sighed, looked at the sun outside the window, her cold eyes softened slightly, His Highness should be back soon.

Pu Yang didn't come back, she went to Prime Minister Wang's residence as soon as she left the palace.

Prime Minister Wang was her maternal grandfather, and Empress Wang died young, leaving only a little princess in Puyang.As soon as she arrived at the palace, Mrs. Wang came out to welcome her, calling her "Qiniang" and treating her like a young gentleman or a young lady at home.

Pu Yang came to look for the prime minister, and seeing his grandmother's kindness, he also had a few more words with her.At a certain age, marriage has become the top priority that cannot be avoided. The old man asks Pu Yang what she means and wants to know what she likes.

Mrs. Wang is very kind. Thinking that Qiniang's mother is gone, although her father loves her, he can't help but take care of some things, so her grandmother should consider her more, so as not to delay her due to quarrel between the princess and the consort. Qiniang's life.

Pu Yang has always been open and generous when talking about marriage, but at this time Mrs. Wang implicitly mentioned the candidate for the son-in-law, and the appearance of the husband appeared in her mind.

"Yes, Father Jun also mentioned this matter, I just said that there is no rush, it depends on fate." Pu Yang is generous, but his cheeks are slightly flushed just right, like a little princess at the right age.

No matter how terrified she was, she was still calm on the face.

Mrs. Wang nodded her head again and again, deeply convinced: "That's right, it should be when the fate comes." Now that the imperial family is stable, His Majesty does not need a princess to marry, so Qiniang can easily choose a consort who can match her .

After saying that, Mrs. Wang smiled warmly, and stroked Pu Yang's soft hair with her hand.

But Pu Yang became more and more uneasy, Mr. appeared in her mind, no matter what, she couldn't get rid of it.

Not long after, the old prime minister came and invited the princess to discuss matters in the study.

It is true that the princess is a granddaughter, but she is also a king and cannot be neglected.In addition, it was almost evening at this time, so when visiting the elders, one should post the greeting card in the early morning, and the old prime minister would know that Puyang did not come here to visit the old lady, and should discuss important matters.

Thinking that King Zhao is involved, if Puyang insists on replacing Qianwu, there is no guarantee that His Majesty will not think that she is involved in the dispute between the kings.But she couldn't leave it alone, so she thought of the prime minister who was in charge of government affairs.

My grandfather is in charge of government affairs, so he knows Qianwu better than she does.

When the old prime minister heard her intention, he sighed: "Princess has eyesight, but this matter, the old minister can't control."

Pu Yang didn't show any surprise, but said calmly: "Grandfather, please tell me clearly."

"Qianwu..." The old prime minister hesitated for a moment, his gray beard trembled, and sighed, "He belongs to the king of Zhao. This time, he was appointed as the governor of Liangzhou. , Zhao Wang is afraid that he will be dissatisfied."

Pu Yang naturally knew that it was not that she had never been in power before, so she quickly said, "Grandfather is worried about the turmoil in the court? Just send another Zhao Wang family to take over. King Jin is a bit overwhelmed. King Jing is weak after all, and the acting king I won't force myself to stand out, and it's important to wipe out the Qiang Rong first." Others can agree, and if there is anything that can beat the fortress of the country.

The old prime minister sighed, looked at Puyang and shook his head, wondering why the princess was so stubborn today: "There is no need to be so troublesome, Liangzhou Fortress, how could His Majesty entrust Qianwu alone, there is a general named Jiang Tong, who has gone through hundreds of battles and served... He seemed to think of something, regret flashed in his eyes, he didn't go on, but said firmly, "You can't lead the martial arts, and there is him, Liangzhou can't get into chaos."

"You can lead the army to serve as the governor, and the governor of a state, even if the general uses his troops like a god, and the commander has no way, he can't avoid the fate of defeat!" Pu Yang quickly pointed out the crux of the matter, and all the lords standing in the court are the same as those of the previous court. Minister, are these ministers not good?Why did the world still change hands?Because the king has no way, Sheji Fang fell into another family!

The more Pu Yang heard it, the more disturbed he became. His majesty and the old prime minister depended on the fact that the Qiang army was small and had thousands of people, so they couldn't make waves. Tired to death!

Pu Yang returned to the mansion annoyed, and saw Wei Xiu waiting in front of the court.

At this time, it was already dark, and she was wearing a fox cloak, sitting alone in the courtyard, surrounded by eunuchs and maidservants, all standing quietly.

Pu Yang stopped in his tracks, Wei Xiu turned his head, seeing her back, couldn't help smiling, bent down, and saluted silently.Pu Yang thought that when his grandmother mentioned the candidate for a son-in-law, the No. 1 that came to her mind was Mr. Wei Xiu. When she saw Wei Xiu again at this time, her heartbeat became a little disordered.

She regained her composure, walked over, and said in a warm voice: "It's cold outside, Mr. has something to ask me to send someone, why bother to come in person?"

Wei Xiu looked at her uncertain expression, shook her head, and expressed concern: "I am worried that His Highness is not going well, and I am here to resolve it."

It's really not going well.

Pu Yang pushed Wei Xiu into the inner room and ordered people to burn two braziers before he told Wei Xiu the result of his trip.Wei Xiu listened carefully, and heard that she immediately went to the palace to pay a visit to the old prime minister, and said with a smile: "Your Highness made a sudden change, but there are only a few thousand Qiang Rong, which is really not enough for the court to pay attention to."

In a peaceful and prosperous age, thousands of people in the country would cause chaos, which would be a major event. However, not long after the founding of the Great Wei, wars continued 30 years ago. Tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were dispatched. Most of the princes It happened, His Majesty and the old prime minister both went to the battlefield in person, and the old prime minister was also the head coach. In their eyes, what is the difference between these thousands of Qiang Rong and ants?

During the Zhou Dynasty and the Qi and Song Dynasties, there were frequent wars. In order to prevent the Yi people from rebelling, the Zhou Prime Minister at that time moved a large number of Qiang, Hu, Rong and Di into the customs, which really avoided the worries of the future.

After decades of friendship with the Han, in the eyes of the court, no matter how fierce these barbarians are, with good food and wine to eat their ambitions, they should also integrate with the Han people, and their combat power will definitely not be as good as before.And there are only a few thousand people in the area. There are [-] elite soldiers in Guangliang Prefecture, and [-] frontier troops, which are several times the number.

Pu Yang lowered his eyebrows, very annoyed: "It's a pity that people speak lightly."

Seeing her slumped, Wei Xiu has a mature temperament, but her 17-year-old face still looks childish, like a little princess who has just suffered setbacks.He couldn't help smiling, and unconsciously made his voice softer: "Your Highness, don't be discouraged, the day when His Highness can lift weights lightly is just around the corner."

Pu Yang raised his head and saw her face that rivaled Meiyu's, he felt a little afraid to look at her more.

The author has something to say: Wei Xiu smiled.

Pu Yang (biting fingers curiously): You look quite like my son-in-law.
