remarrying husband

When the emperor Zhao Hechi received Lu An's eight hundred miles memorial, five days had passed.

Lu An gave a routine memorial every half a month, and Zhao Hechi could already see that Lu An had gradually returned to calm.Those rebellions were nothing in the eyes of Cao Zhenling. It was easy for Yu Xiumian to appease the people and recruit local famous and noble officials to assist him.

But, what's going on with this sudden rush?

As soon as Zhao Hechi fell asleep, he heard a report outside the door, saying that it was Mr. Lu Anyuxiu Mianyu's memorial, and Dang even got out of bed, even ignoring the little answer that he had finally picked up today, put on his clothes and ran out in a hurry.

The wind in late autumn is bitingly cold.Zhao Hechi shivered when he took the memorial and flipped through it, and hurriedly wanted to leave the imperial study.

But the more you look at it, the more incredible it becomes, and the more you look at it, the more stunned you become. "Yu, Yu Xiuyan! Really, what do you really want me to say?!"

The eunuch on the side didn't dare to interfere too much in the government affairs, but looked carefully at the emperor he was serving, "Your Majesty? Mr. Yu is here to report some important news again? Is it a good thing?"

Zhao Hechi closed the memorial and looked up at the bright moon, "Good thing, good thing, but it also caused me a small problem."

"Your Majesty?" The eunuch was puzzled, but he was still partial to Yu Xiumian in his heart, "The Emperor is the Son of Heaven, and the Emperor always talks about trivial matters, so maybe it doesn't matter at all?"

Zhao Hechi laughed out loud, "It's really a trivial matter, but the wimpy Liao family is going to die of depression, and Cao Quail will be so happy to come out again."

The eunuch beside him laughed loudly, and for a moment, the palace seemed to be peaceful like never before.

"Zhang Ai, you have been with me for more than 20 years, what did you do at home?" Zhao Hechi suddenly asked curiously after laughing.

Zhang Ai lowered his body and said respectfully, "My family is farming, and then I was hit by a disaster. Wouldn't it just buy me into the palace, and I still have monthly money to send back home." The bitterness in his words was hard to hide.

Which good man doesn't want to be this eunuch?

Zhao Hechi said "En," and nodded slowly, "Then do you know what this two thousand catties of grain represents?"

"What?!" Zhang Ai lost his voice, stared at Zhao Hechi with wide eyes in astonishment, and then realized that he had lost his composure, and immediately knelt down, "I also ask the emperor to make amends, slave, slave was too excited for a while."

"No problem, get up. Answer my words." Zhao Hechi waved his hand indifferently.

"If, if I could have an acre of land and two thousand catties of grain back then, I wouldn't need it, I wouldn't have to enter the palace. I originally had a childhood sweetheart outside the palace. Later, when I entered the palace, she would, she would marry the slave's younger brother. It's gone." Zhang Ai cried bitterly as he spoke.

Zhao Hechi did not punish Zhang Ai, but patted him on the shoulder rarely, "Yes, if there is an acre of two thousand catties, I am afraid that no one will starve to death in the future." Oh, the adopted daughter of the Cao family is Cao Zhenling's junior sister. The potatoes weigh two thousand catties per mu, and the corn is one thousand catties per mu. They can mature in three months or four months. They are drought-resistant and easy to store. That junior sister Cao Zhenling found it by accident."

Zhao Hechi naturally knew that Yu Xiu Mian would never pretend to be the leader of the army, but at this moment he hoped that Yu Xiu Mian could take the credit of a woman.Yu Xiumian is Lin'er, but she can still be treated like a man after all, but if a woman does men's things, she does well, even better than men!Will there be any earth-shaking changes in this world?

As the emperor of the Zhao Kingdom, Zhao Hechi felt something from this memorial and was a little uneasy, but he didn't really take it to heart.

There are not many women in the world who can have such courage.

But it's quite interesting to think about it. The Cao family married a Lin'er who was older than his son, with extraordinary abilities and talents, and later recognized a righteous daughter who was also a leading figure. His Cao family really got shit luck .

Thinking about it carefully, the turning point of the Cao family seems to be after Yu Xiumian married in? "Tell me, is Mr. Yu Wangfu?" In the past, when Lin Jinghui was with him, everything went smoothly, but now, not to mention the previous naval battle, even now he has been attacking the northern barbarians for many years, and now he has not touched the opponent's side.

"Hehe, the emperor was joking." Zhang Ai's mind is clear, if there is no Yu Xiumian, Cao Zhenling can also make a fortune, it is only a matter of time.

And once Cao Zhenling can protect himself, he will definitely take his little junior sister out of the Liao family. After gaining freedom, how will Cao Simu be content with being ordinary?

"Your Majesty, you should be lucky. Fortunately, Mr. Yu married General Cao." If he hadn't married General Cao, Mr. Yu would have fallen in love with Lin Jinghui, unable to get out of the circle he drew, and Zhao Guo would have lost a lot of help.

Zhao Hechi nodded slowly, no one knew what he was thinking at the moment.

On the second day, the emperor ordered people to read Yu Xiumian's memorial in public, and there was an uproar in the court, and no one really questioned whether Yu Xiumian was true.

Zhao Hechi also publicly rewarded Cao Simu for "discovering" these two high-yielding and drought-tolerant varieties, and the praises and rewards flowed to the Cao family in an endless stream.

The Liao family who heard the news that day couldn't believe it. Like many people, they thought that Yu Xiu Mian felt that he was too dazzling, blocking the light of the emperor, and attributed the credit to a woman.

But regardless of whether it was true or not, the Liao family ran to Cao's house every three days and began to say that they wanted to see Liao Ximu. After being told that there was no such person, they honestly said that they wanted to see Cao Simu.

After being told by the Cao family that Cao Simu had already followed Mr. Yu and their second young master to Lu'an, Liao Xiaoyi stood at the gate of the Cao family and stomped his feet unhappily, feeling secretly resentful.

Why didn't this girl tell him that she had this ability?How can this credit be given to the Cao family?What a woman, her elbows are always turned outwards, and she has only been in Cao's house for a few days?She was coaxed so fascinated that she didn't even know who gave birth to her!

When that ignorant little girl comes back, he will definitely teach her well!Without the backing of his Liao family, she's nothing!

On the other hand, Yu Xiu Mian went smoothly from harvesting, distributing seeds, and teaching how to plant.

The weather started to be very cold. With the joint efforts of Cao Simu and several old farmers, this problem was quickly solved with the cheapest and most convenient method.

However, several magistrates still hesitated to come to Yu Xiumian, "Mr. Yu, you see, everything is going to a good place now, but Lu An suffered a disaster and moved out the mob again. The next batch of people will come after spring." I just came here. Lu An has a vast land and few people. Now a lot of fertile fields are vacant, which makes people feel distressed. Moreover, Lu An has relief from various parties now, and there are potatoes after the spring, but there is not much food in reserve. Uneasy."

No population, this is an important issue.Yu Xiu Mian sighed bitterly, the population needs to be raised slowly over time, and it cannot be solved overnight.

Eating melon seeds, Cao Zhenling, who listened to the ear, raised his head and glanced at the sad magistrate, "It's almost the twelfth lunar month of winter, and it's impossible to practice every day. Let those boys go to farm and assign them to the village to help out every day." Plant some, and after planting, the people in the village will help take care of it, just so that those energetic boys have a place to move around."

Not to mention Yu Xiumian, even the prefect clapped his hands and praised, "Good! As expected of Mr.'s husband! It really is a big deal, why didn't we think of such an idea."

Yu Xiu Mian took a sip of tea, thinking to himself, that kid is capable in this area, and he is slippery.

Cao Zhenling and Cao Simu combined together to give a slightly crueler plan for training troops in the cold winter months. Cao Zhenling led the men to swim in the icy water, and Cao Simu led the team when they ran with heavy loads every day. Lead people to practice and guide.Exercise is the hour when you get up every day.

For the rest of the day, the group of big and small guys were assigned to help dig the ground, dig holes, and bury potatoes in various villages.

Many villages are deserted, with few people and a lot of land.

This large group of lads used to be farmers before they joined the army, but now they are full of energy and strength, as if they can't be played. Each of them has a hoe and digs up the ground in minutes, without even using cattle.

The villagers in the village followed one by one to bury the sprouted potato seeds. Everyone was working hard, thinking that they would not be hungry in the spring of next year and could save food, so they couldn't help being happy.

With the help of a group of big and small guys, many of Lu An's desolate lands were ran into pits and buried potatoes, and many things happened during this process.

For example, male and female partners are not tired of working, and there are many old, weak, sick and disabled left in some villages, or poor people who plan to sell their children and daughters.Although there is help from the imperial court and wealthy businessmen from all over the world, life is still very tight, unable to marry a daughter-in-law, unable to marry a daughter, either without a betrothal gift or a dowry.

This work, do some sparks or something.After the girl's calculations, she felt pretty good. This young man was a soldier, worked hard, and was full of energy. I heard that the barracks discipline was quite strict. The young man looked clean and his own girl married, and there was no one in the village. Dare to bully his family.

What's more, soldiers also have a bit of military pay, so it's a great thing to be able to make a dowry and give your son a wife by yourself?

The villagers are enthusiastic, but, but the soldiers are a little scared. After all, discipline, discipline isn't it?

As soon as the report was made, Cao Zhenling thought it was quite good, but first asked, "Maybe he is from that team?"

Xing Chitian scratched his head and said embarrassingly, "Fangzheng, I, and Liang Chaotian are in the team."

Cao Zhenling said "Oh" and nodded.Most of them are the gangsters in the past, who themselves have no fixed place to live.If he returns home in the future, retires, and stays in Lu'an, he will have a home, that's fine.Even if you say, "The disciplines that should be observed must be followed, but well, this important matter in life must be resolved quickly. If there is a good girl, and the other party is willing to follow him, then marry her. I will pay for the three days of marriage leave. , Each person will post ten taels of silver."

These ten taels of silver are quite a lot for ordinary people.

This time, it really made those soldiers very happy.

The originally scattered and undisciplined team gradually became orderly under Cao Zhenling's management, and now it is even more popular.

Lu An, because of the food and the cloth donated by Yu Xiu Mian, it has been a good year. Everything went smoothly, and when everything recovers in the spring, I am afraid that the disaster of the year before last will only stay in people's minds.

But An Sheng had more days, and in the barracks, apart from the daily drills, Cao Simu took over many things better than him.

Cao Zhenling wanted to get closer to Yu Xiumian, after all, he had just eaten stewed meat, and he didn't know where his next meal would be, so the delegation of power was neat and tidy.

Yuxiu Mianjing could see Cao Zhenling rolling back and forth on his soft couch boredly, reading a book.

Movable type is already being produced and the first stencils will soon be available.Thinking of this, Yu Xiu Mian felt a little anxious.

After the success, he must push the living printing into the eyes of all scholars as soon as possible!Let all cultural books be exchanged, so that more people can read books!

Thinking of this, he gave Cao Zhenling a sympathy in a happy mood, "What's the matter?"

"It's boring..." His wife spent all day on living body printing and ignored him...

Yu Xiu smiled lightly, bowed her head and kissed him on the lips.

Cao Zhenling licked his lips and thought, in fact, this day is not boring at all, with a firm face!

The frontier is not as easy as the emperor expected.

There are quite a few places where Zhao State borders the frontier. The north and south sides are called Nanman and Beiman. The two sides are not far apart, but the climate is quite different. There are few areas for planting and grazing.However, there are still six small tribes and three large tribes in Nanban.

There are more northern tribes, but they were unified by a prairie hero 70 years ago. Even if there are disputes among those in power, the northern tribes are more united than the southern tribes.

However, the northern man was dry, windy and rainy afterwards.To the north is the entire grassland, stretching as far as the eye can see, it is the same in the territory of the Northern Man, and there are very few mountains and rivers.Therefore, the northern barbarians are good at cavalry, they are more fierce, and they are tall and strong.

Lin Jinghui is stationed in the north all the year round, guarding.

The relationship between Beiman and Zhao State is a bit similar. If you don’t build a house for three days, when there is a bumper harvest or there is no food and grass in the north, Beiman will send troops to loot.

They always feel that the country of Zhao is rich, with plenty of food, beautiful women, and bricks and jade tiles everywhere, which is an invisible treasure house.

Guangji, which naturally borders the Northern Man, also has this virtue in their eyes.

This time Lin Jinghui was sent to attack the southern forces of the Northern Man, and took down the Zaha tribe of the Northern Man in one fell swoop. Don't let him collude with the Southern Man.But who would have thought that Lin Jinghui, who already knew the Beiman like the back of his hand, hadn't even touched a single member of the Zhaha tribe.

Lin Jinghui led an army of 30, of which 20 were stationed in border towns, and the other [-] went deep into the grassland with him.

Ben thought in Lin Jinghui's mind that after capturing Zaha, he would wipe out the Tanan tribe in one fell swoop. This was his goal.

But who would have thought that this 20 army has defended the border town since the autumn and has never received a barbarian from the northern barbarians to loot food!

Not to mention the 20 troops guarding the prairie with him, the [-] troops that go deep into the grasslands consume countless things every day. What's more, although the northern barbarian area is not far from the border town, the climate is too different. The snow is bigger.

Before seeing the enemy, one or two thousand people were frozen to death. This really embarrasses Lin Jinghui!

Now Lin Jinghui is also a little impatient. Judging from the information received, the Zaha tribe may discuss with the Nanban before the spring and then attack.

They don't know where or how to hit them.

The defense line on the southern border has always been weak, and Zhao Guo can't get rid of so many soldiers and horses, and the southern barbarians are relatively peaceful on weekdays.There is a lot of trade, and most of what they need is bartered, and they live in peace.

Even if there are restless tribes attacking, Old General Chen alone is enough.

If the southern barbarians suddenly gather together and attack the south, it will be really hard for Zhao Guo to defend against.What if the south is guarded and the northern barbarians also take the opportunity to attack here?

After the northern border city, the terrain is flat. As far as those cavalry are concerned, as long as they capture the border city, they will be invincible, making it impossible for Zhao Guofang to defend himself.

Therefore, for a long time, Zhao Guo has always been the strictest defense against the northern barbarians, and even looked down on the southern barbarians.

However, if the two sides collude, I am afraid that Zhao Guo will suffer from the enemy.

Lin Jinghui's headache was about to explode because of this matter. Wandering on the grassland, even if there was no battle, it was more stressful than having a battle!

Scratching his head irritably, he paced back and forth in the tent, ""Xiu Mian, what do you think?

Before he finished speaking, Lin Jinghui suddenly stopped, his face darkened. In the past few days, he would ask that person inadvertently from time to time.

It's just that that person has already left him...

"General, the imperial court has come to urge you again!" The general under his command also remembered sweating profusely because of this matter.

Most of the people staying by Lin Jinghui's side were military generals, and most of the advisers left gradually after Yu Xiumian was divorced by him.At that time, Lin Jinghui clearly realized for the first time that most of the people around him admired Yu Xiumian's talent, especially those military advisers and literati.

There are not many generals leaving.After all, they fought with Lin Jinghui for many years, even if Lin Jinghui was sorry for Yu Xiumian, it was the two of them's business. Although they looked down on them a little, they felt that Lin Jinghui just hated his poor wife.

Fighting is not a child's play, so why would they leave Lin Jinghui?

However, as soon as the military adviser and literati who left with Yu Xiumian left, Lin Jinghui immediately found that the mobility of his entire team was not as good as a little bit.

Originally, Yu Xiu Mian was very talented, and he helped him with his heart, and he found many capable people and strangers.Most of the generals in my hands are equipped with one or two military divisions, and when the troops are divided into operations, those military divisions will also assist them attentively and advise them.

But now without these military advisers, a large group of generals tend to get hotheaded and ignore them.There are also those who refuse to obey the military order, and no one persuades them. Those who only know how to fight and don't know how to adapt to the situation are no longer brave, but a big failure.

Lin Jinghui failed in the previous battle, although his command was improper and his timing was wrong, but the rest of the army more or less understood what Yu Xiumian's departure represented.

Just when Lin Jinghui was irritatingly waving his cronies to leave, Li Nan walked slowly, "General, we have been searching on the grassland for three months, and we are afraid that the food and grass will not be able to keep up."

Yushu Lingfeng in the past, irritable and sloppy today, imposing in the past, and embarrassed today, this stark contrast made Li Nan sigh in his heart. Yu Xiumian took away not only those capable people and strangers, but also Lin Jinghui's self-confidence .

Yu Xiumian is too capable, and in the past he devoted himself to assisting Lin Jinghui, and whenever Lin Jinghui had a problem, he would ask for advice, which made Lin Jinghui quite dependent.Originally, Lin Jinghui was good at commanding, able to conquer and fight well, and was invincible, but because of his failure last time, now he is cautious and lacks the courage of the past.

As the backbone of this 20 army, he is in chaos. How can this team not be in chaos?

"Can you think of a way?" Lin Jinghui grabbed his shoulders impatiently and growled.

Li Nan shook his head, "The grassland is vast and boundless, and the people of the Zaha tribe are more familiar with the grassland than we are. Now they are willing to avoid it. We have too many 20 people, and we can't move as nimbly as their cavalry. I'm afraid they will be there three days before we show up." know whereabouts."

It is true, but what should I do?

If Zaha stays in one place and waits for him to send troops to attack, Lin Jinghui believes that there may be no one on the entire grassland who is his opponent.

But now, as soon as I find some, let me tell you first, and the other party is a nomad, and they disappeared for a long time after fleeing, making people nowhere to be found!

Lin Jinghui was trembling with anger, holding the table tightly with both hands, "Let me think about it, General! We must come up with a solution!"

Now that winter is approaching, the 20 troops can't survive for a few days. In the grasslands, they are poor in material, lack of food and grass, and their movements are getting slower and slower, but the food and salaries they need have not decreased at all. This has attracted great attention from the court. dissatisfied.

What's more, because of the possibility of Zaha and Tanan conspiring to discuss each other, it is a knife in the head!

Now, Lin Jinghui can't find Zaha from Beiman, so he hopes that Zaha has not settled with Tanan, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!

"General, it's time for our soldiers to return to the border town. There are still seven days until the most severe snowstorm on the grassland will come." Li Nan sighed bitterly. Wan Dajun will be lost for no reason.

Not lost in battle, but lost in a blizzard!

Lin Jinghui's spine was stiff, and his lips were pursed and turned white, "If you can't find it in three days, you will return to the border town!" Gritting his teeth, he shouted unwillingly.

"It's the general." Li Nan left the tent with a bitter sigh, looked at the dark and gloomy sky, and shook his head again, not knowing what to say.

When Lin Jinghui led the army to attack pirates last time, he lost [-] troops. He was afraid and didn't dare to be rash again, because he was not free and sharp that time, but timid.

Li Nan knew it, but Lin Jinghui himself didn't know it?

But Lin Jinghui couldn't confirm his own might from the bottom of his heart before he was ashamed to meet the new victory. That's why he was so eager to win.

Unfortunately, the victory left him once again.

Withdrawing from the grassland also represented his failure in this battle.

At this time, Zaha on the grassland will probably find a safe haven to live in, but once spring begins, their minds will become active again, and it may be sooner or later that they will collude with Tanan.

So Zhao Guo is so urgent to kill the Zaha tribe!Let them have no possibility of cooperation!
