Qingzhou trip

After September, the Yeqiang River will gradually fall into the dry season, and it is too clear and shallow to carry a boat.At this moment, he had not reached the horse's stomach, so Ren Wu tried to ride a horse in Lutan before returning with confidence.

Deer Beach is the favorite resting place for people traveling to and from the Yeqiang River.Arriving here means entering the periphery of the sand sea, and there are horse thieves or Beixia troops to the north of Lutan.Zhao Yifang pursed her lips and rode on the horse looking at the grassland on the other side of the Yeqiang River, and then spread out the map for comparison, "Master Xie, do you know why the Baosheng Army was guarding the border in the Sand Sea?"

The sand sea obviously has no pitfalls to rely on, and this feeble Yeqiang River cannot be called a natural moat at all, and it cannot at all separate the impact of the Northern Xia cavalry after crossing the desert south.It seems more suitable to choose Yanzhou or Weizhou.

"At that time, Emperor Taizong had two major regrets in his life: he didn't win the sixteen states, which caused me to open my stomach and back to the north, and Xiliao was able to go straight to the capital within a day. The other is the northern summer thorn." Xie Penglai said eloquently. Come on, "Taizong said to the Baijia Baosheng army stationed in the northwest, 'I have no worries, why should I be close to the enemy?'" She also agreed with Taizong's order, "Taizong obviously did not want the Baosheng army The ambition was spent there, so I chose the sand sea closer to Beixia."

Her voice was low, but she did not hide her golden quality.The corners of Zhao Yifang's lips curled up when he heard this, "The Bai family guarded the border for five generations. Although they failed to pull out the thorn in Beixia, they still held the door. Yun Fangjiang ruined the Baosheng army with a single mistake. I believe he once wanted to send troops to the north. "

It was a matter of judgment, Xie Penglai remained silent.The northwest wind blew her clear gown and headband, Shahai county magistrate's thin back was straight, and his eyes flickered in disapproval.

Zhao Yifang looked at her profile, "Don't you think so?"

Uncomfortable being stared at by King Jin, Xie Penglai had no choice but to restrain himself and said, "Yun Fang Jiang Juanjia lightly, hoping to go deep into the long drive. Those who know a little bit about military affairs also know that this is hard work. But he still went and lost down."

"You mean, he might have surrendered in the first place? Or, is there an irresistible order?" Zhao Yifang's questioning didn't get a positive answer, and the magistrate Xie watched his heart, "The end is already like this."

"But Mr. Xie never gave up on the certainty. After Yun Bailu was married, you made inquiries everywhere, and you kept asking the Bai family in Beijing to come forward to protect Yun Bailu." Zhao Yifang curled her lips and shook her head, "The Bai family all gave bribes. It's stuck in my place." She scratched her nose lightly with the horsewhip, "Why are you so persistent in saving her?"

"General Baizhi was kind to me back then, Xiaguan and Yun Bailu were both teachers and friends, and I couldn't bear her to be implicated by her father and suffer so much on the border of Xiliao." Xie Penglai's answer obviously couldn't convince Zhao Yifang completely, "Thank you, master, You never talk to me for five minutes." She laughed softly, "That's all." Suddenly she whipped herself up and drove her horse across the river.

Ren Wu, who was following, was startled and hurriedly rode his horse to catch up.Xie Penglai was stunned for a while, seeing that Zhao Yifang had reached the middle of the river before catching up.When she waded to the middle of the river, Zhao Yifang, who had already rushed to the opposite bank, reined in her horse and turned back, heading straight towards Xie Penglai.

Unlike other weak children of the Zhao family, she learned horsemanship at the age of five and never complained.The elder brother, Zhao Yixiang, always thinks of being lazy, but it's her sister who is over eight years old and yells to go out of the city to ride horses from time to time.Grandmother Shang Wang once sighed a joke, "If Yifang is a man, I will wither towards He Chouxiao?"

Xie Penglai was also dumbfounded when he saw her rushing forward for the first time, and was even frightened by King Jin's murderous eyes and stopped there.

When Zhao Yifang reined in his horse a few feet away from her, the beast stepped heavily on the water, splashing water all over Xie Penglai's green robe.

King Jin raised his head and whipped her, "If you like Yun Bailu, I will kill her."

All of them circled around Xie Penglai arrogantly.

"I don't intend to be interested in anyone." Xie Penglai sighed secretly, and said to Zhao Yifang first to the left and then to the right, "A lower official...is not suitable for the affection of children."

"Who have you never liked?" Zhao Yifang got the answer from Xie Penglai's cheeks that were flushed suddenly, she gritted her teeth, "Liar." She suddenly yelled at the horse, "Let's go!"

"Where are you going?" Xie Penglai asked after him.

"Sanchuankou!" Zhao Yifang turned her head in front of her, "I will go to all the places where we have been embarrassed by Beixia." She suddenly smiled, her tone was sassy and high-spirited, "Don't think that this king likes Lao Shizi's love for his sons and daughters. .”

Xie Penglai looked at her back and suddenly saw the back of the man who taught her how to ride and shoot. She knew it was an illusion, so she frowned and saw that the woman in black clothes in front of her was still King Jin.After she settled down, she focused on driving the horse, and the three of them arrived at Jinming Village near Sanchuankou when it was dark.

Ren Wu arranged the residence in advance, and Xie Penglai accompanied King Jin to check in the village.There are many passing merchants here, and the locals are not overly curious about strangers.In a tea shed in the village, the two dismounted to rest.

Sure enough, King Jin no longer talked about love, but continued to ask Xie Penglai humbly, "Why did Yanzhou still hold on after Sanchuankou was defeated?" Retired Xia Bing", after she smiled contemptuously, she asked Xie Penglai, who was well-versed in poetry and books beside her, "Do you believe it?"

"If there is God's help, why don't you settle the troubles in the north?" Xie Penglai saw Zhao Yifang's dissatisfaction, and poured her a bowl of water, "Why don't you ask the people here." But Zhao Yifang didn't dislike the bitterness of the bowl of water, and drank it all at once.

From the old woman selling tea to the Orion passing by, everyone laughed and sneered when they talked about the "appearance of the mountain god", "Isn't it just a blizzard that blocked Beixia? Where is the mountain god? That's the foolish emperor Laozi who fooled the palace." of."

King Jin's eyes darkened, not because of the lie that was exposed many years ago, but because of the disdainful attitude of the border people towards the emperor.There are always people in the court who say that the border people are unruly and difficult to teach. Now they are in Huaying, but tomorrow they will rebel.It is indeed not easy to expect them to be respectful to the emperor.After drinking the water sullenly, Zhao Yifang and Xie Penglai led the horses and walked side by side.

Seeing her displeasure early on, Xie Penglai cleared his throat, "These are all subordinate villages, not like the people who were educated by the court. But, it's no wonder they." Zhao Yifang stopped and looked at her, "Why?"

"Treat them with the courtesy of aliens, and they will naturally become the people of aliens." Xie Penglai smiled, "The tax here is [-] yuan, while in Shahai, it is [-] yuan." She pointed to the tea shed behind her, "A bowl of tea in Yanzhou is twenty renminbi, but here it is five renminbi. How can you be happy if you are a widow and have heavy taxes?" She is well aware of the taxes and taxes of the Northwest resident, and is also familiar with customs and customs.Zhao Yifang found the right companion for her visit.

Thinking of Yanzhou's generous move of half a tael of silver, Zhao Yifang said nothing. "In Master Xie's opinion, what should I do first when I take over the three states?" She still couldn't make up her mind to strengthen border guards, or clear up trade routes, or reclaim wasteland and store grain, or even appease people's hearts.

This is the purpose of her and Xie Penglai's visits this time: She wants to ask this talented girl from Jibei and a liar who has been cultivating the sandy sea border for several years, how to gain a foothold in the three states?

Xie Penglai looked at Zhao Yifang's childish eyes, and said softly, "Then I have to ask Your Highness, what are you going to do in Sanzhou?" Peaceful.

Zhao Yifang grasped the horse rope tightly, her breathing was almost short of breath, "Thank you, master..., I don't want to lie to you. What if I want to say, avoid the troubles of others and keep one side alive?"

Surprise appeared on Xie Penglai's face, but she restrained herself and immediately restrained herself, "Then... three states are blessed."
