After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

The Jilijisi tribe was a medium-sized tribe on the grassland in the past and had close ties with the Tatars.

But their clan leader was very smart and never got involved in the affairs between Tatar and Gu Nanxi.

During the final decisive battle, he did not obey the Khan's orders, nor did he help Gu Nanxi. Instead, he moved his entire tribe to the Yongzhou area.

The patriarch's original idea was to preserve his strength and wait for the outcome of the fight between the two tigers, and then he would join the winning side.

Unexpectedly, the offensive of Duke Yun was like a tidal wave. When the entire Tartar army was attacking, Duke Yun not only won a great victory, but also recovered the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun in one fell swoop.

Before the Jilijisi tribe could surrender, the entire grassland was lost.

Now, the Jilijisi tribe dared not show up anymore.

Hasi of the Haorichin tribe once sent a messenger to invite them to attend the Yunzhou Conference, but the tribesmen did not dare to go.

They were worried that this was a trap set by Duke Yun, who wanted to trick them into Yunzhou and then kill them.

You know, she once ordered to eliminate all the defeated Tartar soldiers on the grassland!

The Tatars who fled to Western Xia were still blocked at the border by Gu's army.

When Asanna heard Gu Twenty-san's firm and decisive word "control", tears started streaming down her dirty face, forming two small streams.

"I went to Yongzhou not only to take my mother to see a doctor, but also to find my brothers. The pastures in our tribe are not very good, and the people in the tribe have a hard life. So my brother went to the city with the people in the tribe to find work."

At that time, in order to avoid the war, people considered more about safety rather than the quality of the pasture.

I didn't plan to stay here for too long.

However, things are unpredictable. Not only did the Jilijisi tribe lose their fertile pastures, but they also became like rats in the past. They could only go to Yongzhou city to do odd jobs in groups of three or four. If there were more than five people, they would be questioned by the soldiers guarding the city.

Wang Anshi and Gu Ersan looked at each other, Xie family!

Gu Twenty-three: "And then? Did you find your brother?"

Asana: "We found them. They were imprisoned in the coal mine. In addition to my brother, there are many other missing herders."

Wang Anshi: "Were you discovered by them?"

Asanna regretted it: "Yes! The coal mine is a government property, and our status is embarrassing, so I didn't dare to report it to the authorities. As soon as I left the city gate, a mysterious man warned me that someone wanted to kill me and told me to run away quickly."

Asana listened to the advice and ran away.

Asanna knelt down again and tried to kiss Gu Ersan's shoes: "General, please save my mother. She is still in the city! And my brother, and those poor herdsmen."

Gu Twenty-three moved his feet away and didn't let Asanna kiss him: "It was the Xie family who did it. We were planning to go to Yongzhou and we will definitely settle this matter for you."

Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong had already climbed onto their horses: "Master Gu, let's continue!"

"Can your bodies bear it?"

Wang Anshi glanced at Asanna, who was crying loudly, and said through gritted teeth: "It can be done!"

Even if it doesn’t work, it has to work.

That group of people are so careless about human life. If the thieves don't come back to report for a long time, they will definitely attack Asanna's mother.

Gu Twenty-three led everyone to gallop on horseback.

After hurrying and hurrying, they finally arrived outside Yongzhou city before dawn.

Yongzhou City is surrounded by a circle of earth walls, which are six meters high and have a moat about two meters wide outside.

The surface of the river had already melted, and was reflecting golden waves under the sunlight.

The entire Yongzhou City is an oval in shape, with a total of six horse faces equipped with crossbows.

Standing on the horse's back, the defenders can attack the enemy from the side.

Wang Anshi took a quick look and found no traces of gunpowder on the city wall. "Master Gu, how did you take Yongzhou?"

Gu Twenty-three was silent for a moment: "Just when we were about to attack the city, the Xie family launched a rebellion in the city and opened the city gates from the city."

Wang Anshi sighed. No wonder Duke Yun wanted him to deal with the Xie family.

If Duke Yun were to come himself, he would definitely be criticized as a wasted man. Who would dare to join the light in the future?

If the Xie family is not dealt with, they have become a scourge to Yongzhou and will cause endless trouble.

Gu Twenty-three: "Lord Wang, are you planning to go on a secret visit or reveal your identity?"

Wang Anshi: "Of course we must reveal our identities! And we must tell everyone in Yongzhou loudly that the Duke of Yun has sent an imperial envoy!"

"Row!"

It is difficult to keep a low profile, but it is very easy to make a high-profile appearance!

Gu Ershisan immediately gave an order that all Yunzhou cavalrymen be fully armed, mount their horses, and form a military formation.

Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong wore official uniforms and carried imperial swords.

Behind them are the flag bearers.

The Yunzhou flag flutters in the wind.

When everything was ready, the Yunzhou cavalry shouted in unison: "The imperial envoy is here, officials in the city, come and greet him quickly!"

"The imperial envoy is here, officials in the city should come and greet him immediately!"

The powerful and murderous roar scared the defenders on the city wall so much that they almost shot their arrows.

About a quarter of an hour later, Xie Lantian, the governor of Yongzhou, hurried out of the city to greet them.

After Xie Lantian verified their identities, he warmly invited Wang Anshi and others to visit Xie's house.

"The post station has been in disrepair for a long time. I'm afraid it can't accommodate so many people. Why don't we go to our Xie Mansion?"

Wang Anshi acted like a fool. He raised his chin slightly and asked condescendingly, "Is Xie's mansion very big?"

Xie Lantian smiled modestly: "It's OK, more comfortable than the post station."

"Okay, let's go."

After entering the city for a short while, we arrived at the Xie family compound.

This courtyard occupies one-third of Yongzhou City. The courtyards are arranged in the shape of a Chinese character "王". There are five alleys and a commercial street in total.

It's more like a city than a yard.

"There are five hundred rooms, four generations living under one roof."

Xie Lantian knew that Wang Anshi came with ill intentions, so he wanted to give the two imperial envoys a warning first.

He wanted to tell Gu Nanxi that the Xie family supported her and Yongzhou belonged to Yunzhou.

If the Xie family no longer supports her, Yongzhou may belong to Western Xia, Tatars, or even Tubo.

The Xie family now has three branches, and the eldest branch is in power.

The head of the Xie family lives in a courtyard with three entrances and a courtyard in the middle, with a door within a door.

But Xie Lantian did not take them to the master's yard, but arranged them in the guest room.

The guest rooms were previously used to entertain high-ranking Tartar officials and nobles. When the group of Tartars entered the guest rooms, they were dazzled by the prosperity.

The door sill here is custom-made, carved with egrets and lotus flowers, symbolizing success in the imperial examinations, as well as swallows and sea trees, symbolizing peace and tranquility.

The three-layer wooden carvings used to raise the head are made from the same piece of wood, carved layer by layer. The wood is hard to find and the craftsmanship is also difficult.

"The Xie family doesn't use a kang, and each room has a fire wall. Do you see the chimneys above? They are all covered with pavilions, which not only slow down the exhaust of smoke and keep in heat, but also block rain."

The smile on Xie Lantian's face looked extremely dazzling.

Gu Twenty-three could hardly suppress his anger. What did he mean by this? Who didn't know that the people of Yunzhou were grateful to Duke Yun for teaching them to make a heated kang?

Xie Lanlantian insisted that their house had a fire wall and they didn't need a kang. Was he looking for trouble?
