Daily life of captives

When the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, Xizhi Kingdom, which has been locking the gates of the country, finally opened the gates of Cangcheng. An army of hundreds of thousands, with the Jixi army as the main force and the Xuange army as the vanguard, attacked with lightning speed. Back to Chudong.

Zhang Wei, who had been lurking outside Yangguan for a long time, led 3000 people to deal with the vanguard of the Xuange Army for three days. The 3000 people did not talk about strategy or tactics, and desperately broke through the Xuange Army. Face to face, among the 3000 people, only those who were escorted into Yangguan to deliver letters survived.

The eldest grandson Boyi issued an edict to posthumously confer Zhang Wei as the founding marquis, and he was buried with great ceremonies.

Thanks to Zhang Wei, Chen Peng led the Tianji Army and Tianxing Army to Yangguan, joined Xin Qijie's Jing Yue Army, and carefully deployed defenses according to the information sent back by Zhang Wei. Not only did he successfully block the forward of the Xuange Army Outside of Yangguan, 3 Xuange troops were killed and [-] were captured, while the Xuange army only had more than [-] people in total.

In mid-May, the emperor of the extreme west finally couldn't sit still, and personally put on his clothes and led the army of the extreme west to attack violently.

Although they had made preparations in advance, Xin Qijie and Chen Peng still couldn't resist. After holding on for a month, the defense line retreated from Yangguan to Liangzhou. If they went further east, they would soon reach Chang'an.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Changsun Boyi marched in person, and Wu Ninghe also led the White Wolf Army southward, raiding the middle section of the Far West Army, splitting the Far West Army into two parts.

After receiving the news, Tao Wujing led his troops to detour a long way, and joined Wu Ninghe in Suzhou. While resisting the West Route Army of the Far West Army and continuing eastward, he encircled and killed the soldiers of the Far West Army with Changsun Boyi at the same time. Eastern Route Army.

Xie Jun couldn't stay in Jinyang with peace of mind, so he took Mrs. Xie, who was pregnant with Liujia, back to Beijing to exchange letters with his grandson Boyi.Huan Zhi also brought the Huan family army to Chang'an, and waited in full force in the western suburbs of Chang'an city.

The flames of war raged outside Chang'an City, and the people inside the city were also suffering.

The grandson Boyi's imperial conquest, Li Shao will naturally walk out of the harem to supervise the government. This was originally expected, but after half a month, the ministers finally found that they didn't know Li Shao at all. Li Shao is gentle and elegant, he must be kind, but it turns out that Li Shao is worthy of being from the Li family, he cannot be a kind person by nature.

Early in the morning, the Xuanzheng Hall was silent, and it was impossible to predict what would happen today. The ministers sitting in the hall were all panicked.

"Your Majesty - Your Majesty - To -"

Hearing Yue Feng's chanting, the ministers cheered in unison, got up one after another, knelt down and bowed down very neatly.

When Li Shaoxin stepped into the hall, the smile on his face faded day by day, and even the deer-patterned white robe, which was so handsome in the eyes of the ministers, seemed to have a cold light at this moment, which made people feel chilling.

Sitting firmly on the dragon chair, Li Shao's eyes turned around in the hall, and then he said "get up" indifferently, and when the ministers were all seated, Li Shao spoke again.

"Yesterday, I received such a memorial."

As soon as they heard this opening sentence, the ministers knew that someone was going to be unlucky again today. Someone counted their fingers, and then looked at the minister of the Ministry of Industry with sympathy.

Sure enough, Li Shao took a memorial from Yue Feng, and slowly unfolded it: "Yesterday, Master Qi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, sent me such a memorial, and asked me that it was the season of flooding along the river. How to deal with it."

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry's heart trembled, and he thought over the memorial he wrote yesterday several times, but he didn't find a single word that was used incorrectly.

Since His Highness came to supervise the government, it took them longer and longer to write a memorial.

Li Shao continued unhurriedly: "Qi Shangshu, how many years have you been the Minister of the Ministry of Industry? There are floods along the river almost every year, and the Ministry of Industry is responsible for repairing dikes and dams every year. Elder Yuan, but you still want to ask me how to deal with it? After Bengong figured out a solution for you, would you like me to help you finish the matter?"

Qi Shangshu hurriedly came out and knelt down in front of Li Shao: "Your Highness, forgive me!"

Li Shao closed the memorial, and his cold eyes swept over a group of ministers with their heads bowed: "Your Majesty hired you to serve as officials in the imperial court to share your worries, not to cause you to cause trouble for His Majesty. Your Majesty has to come up with a way to teach you everything, so what is the use of you? Does Your Majesty still need someone to run errands?!"

"Your Highness, forgive me!" At this moment, all the ministers in the Xuanzheng Hall knelt down.

Li Shao snorted coldly, raised his hand and threw the memorial in front of Qi Shang's writing: "Draft a new memorial, write down the solution, personnel scheduling and budget details for the palace, and send it to the palace before evening. Tell Ben Gong to see such a mindless memorial, and Ben Gong will let your useless head go to another place!"

"Your Majesty, thank you for your generosity." Qi Shangshu hurriedly picked up the memorial and put it away.

"Let's all get up."

The ministers breathed a sigh of relief and tiptoed up and sat down.

Hearing Yue Feng yell "I have something to play", the Minister of the Ministry of War stepped out steadily.

"His Royal Highness, I received an urgent report from the frontline yesterday, saying that the army's soldiers and food need to be replenished. The soldiers are ready and can be sent to Liangzhou at any time, but the food is..."

Hearing this, Li Shao frowned: "How much is left in Chang'an's official warehouse?"

Minister of the Ministry of War shook his head and said: "Returning to Your Highness, the reserves of official warehouses in various places were not much, and two of the three official warehouses in the Central Plains have been empty. This is also the season of frequent floods in the south of the Yangtze River. Are there enough official warehouses there? Relief for the victims is hard to say."

They only have one year's savings, how much can they have?

"It's not in the official warehouse. Let's go and see who has more private warehouses and buy it back at a price higher than the market price. The Minister of the Household Department?"

"The minister is here." The Minister of the Household Department came out after hearing the words, "His Royal Highness, the imperial court has strict restrictions on the storage of grain in private warehouses, but the local gentry will inevitably rely on their local power to store more grain and rice, so that when grain and rice are scarce Selling at a high price in the season to make huge profits. It’s better to let the local governments confiscate these privately stored grains and rice that violate the imperial court’s regulations, which may be enough for the frontline troops to support for a period of time.”

After hearing these words, Li Shao thought for a while before saying: "Let's release the news first, saying that the imperial court will check the private warehouses, and those who violate the restrictions will be punished severely, but if they hand them over voluntarily, the past will never be blamed."

If they follow the method of the Minister of the Ministry of Households, they will be able to collect enough military rations for the army, but the rations may not come from the private warehouses of the proud gentry.If the gentry from all over the country dared to violate the imperial government's order to store grain, it must be covered by the local government.Once they collected it through the government, most of the food that was handed over was snatched from the common people by the government and the tyrants.

Now they don't have the extra manpower and energy to arrange people to inspect and supervise everywhere, so they can only play tricks.

"This..." Hubu Shangshu frowned, "Your Highness, if this is the case, then we may not be able to collect a single grain of rice."

"Just do what I say, I will have my own way to get those food back." Li Shao lowered his eyes, looking unquestionable.

"Yes, I obey the order."

"Is there anything else?" Li Shao raised his eyes again, his gaze indifferent.

No one answered below.

Li Shao tilted his head and gave Yue Feng a wink, after Yue Feng shouted "Back to the court", Li Shao got up and left the Xuanzheng Hall.

Yong Ning got up and followed Li Shao. Xie Jun wanted to follow, but Yong Ning persuaded him to go home.

When Mrs. Yong gave birth, Yong Ning was by her side the whole time, so Yong Ning knew very well how difficult it is for a woman to serve at this time.

Xie Jun hesitated again and again, but went back to Xiefu, and only asked Yongning to go to Xiefu to inform him if something happened.

As soon as Li Shao stepped out of the Xuanzheng Hall, he told Wei Feng: "Go and ask Luan Qi to come into the palace to see me."

"Yes." Wei Feng responded immediately, raised his breath and disappeared.

Yong Ning, who followed Li Shao out of the Xuanzheng Hall, smiled and said, "You really want to spend your own money to buy it."

"Otherwise?" Li Shao smiled, "He has put his life on the outside to protect Hou Chu, how can I let the inside be chaotic first?"

Yong Ning sighed, and said: "He just wants to keep your shelter."

"I know."

Walking into the imperial study with Yong Ning, Li Shao saw that Mu Ran was already sitting in the imperial study.

"Uncle, Master Yong." Seeing Li Shao enter, Mu Ran immediately stood up and saluted, "Xuanyuan sent a sealed letter back."

In order to win this battle, all those who could be used went to the front line with Changsun Boyi, while Xuanyuanhe, who was in charge of collecting information, took a long way to go north from Chang'an, and turned westward after entering Chidi's territory. , Detoured to Xizhi country, joined the subordinates who were trapped in Xizhi country before, and inquired about various news in Xizhi country.

Li Shao took the secret letter, read it roughly, and handed it over to Yongning.

Mu Ran continued: "Also, most of the people in the Northwest who migrated to the east to escape the disaster of war were properly resettled by the states and counties along the way, but some people with a little money still came to Chang'an. The people in the Northwest are tough. It seems that I can't integrate into Chang'an, and there are often troubles and troubles in the streets these days."

"That's right." Compared with other things, this is a trivial matter, "Yongning, let the sixteen guards strengthen their patrols, and if they encounter disobedient ones, they will directly escort them to Dali Temple, and transfer Yan Wei to Dali Temple to be responsible for dealing with these people." There is no need to punish people for preaching, and they can be sent back after preaching.”

"Yes," Yong Ning replied, and then teased, "I think Jie Jun is more suitable to preach to others."

Li Shao chuckled: "The hero sees the same thing. But let him take good care of Mrs. Xie. Mrs. Xie has been weak since she became pregnant. It's really worrying."

Yong Ning patted Li Shao on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I found Lang Zhong and Wen Po, who used to take care of my wife, and they were all sent to Jie Mansion, and there are Xie Jun and Qing Yu by Mrs. Xie's side. Something will happen."

Li Shao sighed, "I hope the world will be peaceful and everyone will be well."

In the coach's tent of Liangzhou Daying, the elder Sun Boyi stood in front of a map as tall as a man, thinking hard.

Yu Shi picked up the curtain and entered, and handed a letter to Changsun Boyi: "Your Majesty, a letter from Chang'an."

Changsun Boyi immediately snatched the letter and eagerly tore open the envelope, but he took out the letter paper and opened it, but there were only eight characters on the paper.

The world is peaceful, everyone is safe.

The eldest grandson Boyi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.

Turning around to find a bronze box from the messy table, Changsun Boyi opened the lid, folded the letter neatly, and carefully put it together with the stack of letters in the box.

Seeing that the box was about to be full, Changsun Boyi was a little anxious.

He agreed to ask for a letter a day, and he would return to Chang'an before the box was full, but now that the war is at a stalemate, the extreme west and east road army caught between them has been completely wiped out, and they have suffered heavy losses. The rest of the extreme west army has already tried its best to block the border of Liangzhou. How can we turn the tide of the battle?

"Eldest grandson," Wu Ning and Ti walked into the tent with a displeased Liu Zi, his face not looking very good, "arrange for someone to send him to Chang'an."

Before leaving Ding Lingguo, he asked Liu Zi to go to Chang'an to find Li Shao. Liu Zi agreed happily, but he got mixed up with the White Wolf Army as soon as he turned his head. Everyone from top to bottom helped him hide it, which lasted for more than a month.Fortunately, Liu Zi was safe and sound, otherwise he would have been buried with the White Wolf Army!

"I'm not going!" Upon hearing Wu Ninghe's words, Liu Zi broke away from Wu Ninghe's hand, and quickly ran behind Yu Shi to hide, "If you don't want to go, you won't go!"

Wu Ning and the veins on his forehead burst out, staring at Liu Zi and shouting: "Do you know how dangerous this place is?!"

Liu Zi pouted his neck and said, "You just followed me because you knew!"

It's a few days' journey from Chang'an to Liangzhou, if something happens to the seven idiots, how can he come here in time?

"I can take care of myself, don't worry about it!"

"You!" Wu Ning was very friendly, but because he knew what Liu Zi was thinking, he couldn't say anything serious, "Eldest grandson, let someone send him back, or ask Li Shao to send someone to pick him up!"

Changsun Boyi looked at the aggrieved Liu Zi, then at Wu Ninghe who was so angry, he chuckled lightly and said, "Let him stay."

Wu Ninghe was taken aback for a moment, then turned to stare at his elder Sun Boyi and shouted: "If Li Shao, would you let him stay here?"

Changsun Boyi smiled wryly: "I want to take him over right away... It's safest for him to stay by your side."

Seeing Wu Ninghe's expression loosened, Liu Zi rubbed against Wu Ninghe's side again, and gently held Wu Ninghe's hand: "Just let me stay here, I won't go to the battlefield with you, I'll just wait In the back, with, with them in the logistics, I want to stay here, you just let me stay here, I promise not to make trouble."

Wu Ninghe sighed, and put his arms around Liu Zi: "I'm not afraid that you will cause trouble for me..."

Changsun Boyi was speechless: "Can you two go out?"

What are you trying to do in front of him?Bullying him alone?

After settling his mind, Wu Ninghe said in a deep voice, "I have something to tell you."

"Say, finish talking and get out." It was an eyesore.

The corner of Wu Ninghe's mouth twitched unconsciously, Liu Zi curled his lips, considering the mood of Changsun Boyi, he pushed Wu Ninghe away, and obediently stepped aside.

But when Wu Ninghe was about to speak, Xi Hu entered the tent.

"Your Majesty, the seventh prince, that...Princess Shangguan is here."

"What?" Changsun Boyi and Wu Ninghe turned their heads to look at the door of the tent at the same time, "What is she here for?"

Wu Ninghe snorted coldly: "No matter what she wants to do, kill her."

"Doesn't the Seventh Prince want to end this war as soon as possible?" Shangguan Ying stepped into the tent without authorization, her petite body was tightly covered from head to toe by a fat and big cloak.

Changsun Boyi was stunned for a moment, and said, "Break into the coach's tent, even if I kill you now, no one will blame me."

"I know, but you won't." Shangguan Ying took off his hood, "Can I sit down? I'm heavy now, and I'm tired standing up."

Changsun Boyi and Wu Ninghe were taken aback for a moment, and they all looked down at Shangguanying's stomach.

Shangguan Ying smiled lightly and pulled back the cloak, revealing her protruding belly, which was still visible even though it was covered by the baggy clothes.

Grandson Boyi frowned: "Yu Shi, move a chair."

Shangguan Ying looked up at eldest Sun Boyi, and said with some surprise: "Your Majesty is much gentler than before."

Eldest Sun Boyi didn't speak to him.

Shangguan Ying didn't care, and continued, "I'm here to represent Xi Zhiguo and talk to you about internal and external cooperation."

Changsun Boyi and Wu Ninghe looked at each other, but they still didn't speak.

Shangguan Ying could only go on by himself: "To the east of the Jixi army is the coalition army of Hou Chu and Ding Ling, and to the west is all the soldiers and horses of Xizhi."

"All?" Wu Ninghe sneered, "What about all of them? The Xuan Ge Army has already lost half of it."

The war in the country of Xizhi relies entirely on the Xuange army, and the rest of the army is as weak as the common people.

Shangguan Ying said proudly: "But the remaining [-] of Xuan Ge's army are all elite."

Changsun Boyi was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly became angry: "So you planned to find us to cooperate internally and externally from the beginning? The false marriage is just to preserve strength?"

Shangguan Ying nodded: "Your Majesty is also smarter than before."

Wu Ninghe was also annoyed: "Since we have planned it for a long time, why didn't you contact us before the war? Do you know how much Chu and Ding Ling lost after this battle?!"

Shangguan Ying lowered his eyes.

"How could she have said in advance," Saburo really guessed, "In the battle with Jixi, Xizhi's soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses. If the war ends like this, then Xizhi's military strength will no longer be enough to support it." If Xi Zhi stands side by side with Hou Chu and Ding Ling, it is better to use the knife of Jixi to weaken the combat power of Hou Chu and Ding Ling together. This will also consume Jixi's soldiers and horses. The siege of the Three Kingdoms can easily wipe out this army, especially Princess Shangguan can also kill the emperor of the far west by his pillow, leaving the dragons without a leader."

After a moment of silence, Shangguanying raised his head and looked at Changsun Boyi again: "Li Shao guessed all this, right? He is still so smart."

"Smartness is still tricked by you." Changsun Boyi stared at Shangguan Ying coldly.

Shangguan Ying shook his head: "In this world, except for you, Your Majesty, probably no one can count on him, and there is no choice but to let things develop to this point.

I have been fighting with Extreme West for a long time, I believe you have all seen it, they are a group of people who only know how to plunder, if the monarch has no intention of expanding, they can still stay in one place, but unfortunately, their monarch wants to Conquering all inhabited places, so they fought eastward, they didn't want anything, they just enjoyed the process of killing and occupying.When the two armies are at war, they are probably the most afraid of such people.

Besides, so what if I'm plotting against you?Whether you are willing or not, you must cooperate with me, otherwise your losses will only gradually increase, and if you are not careful, it will harm Chang'an. "

"You woman is too much!" Liu Zi was so angry that she wanted to rush up and beat Shangguan Ying. She had already moved her feet, but was stopped by Yu Shi, "Do you know how many people will die? Three Kingdoms cannot stand side by side!" So what? Do you think anyone cares about taking advantage of others? Who cares about your shabby place, ah?! I heard that Xizhi is in trouble, Shao and the seven idiots are ready to help, but What about you? You’re smart! No wonder you’re the only one to be bullied! Three kingdoms stand side by side, I’ll tell you the fuck, after this battle is over, I want you to look good! I want Xizhi country to have no peace! But I will protect you tightly If you don’t keep your belly full, it will fall off!”

"Liu Zi, hush—" Wu Ninghe strode up to Liu Zi, hugging the angry Liu Zi.

Liu Zi trembled with anger, and cried as soon as she was hugged by Wu Ninghe.

How many people died this month?He couldn't count them all.It would have been possible to not have to die so many, just for this woman's desire to have the Three Kingdoms side by side, just for this wish...shit Three Kingdoms side by side!When did Xizhi Guo have that qualification? !

Wu Ninghe was also very angry, but there was no room for him to intervene now, the army in the extreme west did not threaten Ding Ling for the time being, he brought the white wolf here to consider the relationship between Ding Ling and Hou Chu on the one hand, and on the other hand On the one hand, it is for the sake of loyalty, so now the decision is in Changsun Boyi's hands... In other words, Changsun Boyi has no choice, right?

After a long while, eldest grandson Boyi spoke, and his voice sounded unexpectedly calm: "Princess Shangguan, please go back and prepare. As soon as I receive news of Emperor Jixi's death, I will immediately send troops to attack with all my strength. As you said, I will not No choice."

"Your Majesty has indeed become smarter." Shangguan Ying stood up with a smile, "Then I will take my leave. Please prepare your Majesty and the Seventh Prince."

After saying this, Shangguan Ying walked away with a big belly.

"Eldest grandson, you just let her go like this?!" Liu Zi glared at eldest grandson Boyi dissatisfied.

Changsun Boyi held the bronze box in his hand all the time, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "Yu Shi, after the war, capture Shangguan Ying and bring her back to Chang'an. Sanlang once said that Xizhi is the queen It seems that there is no need to keep the shield on the west side of Chu."

After finishing speaking, Changsun Boyi looked at Wu Ninghe again: "Are you interested in Xizhi?"

Wu Ninghe shook his head: "No, I have enough wasteland in Ding Ling, so I don't need to add more burdens."

Changsun Boyi sneered: "Then this place will belong to us."

Dare to threaten him with Saburo, how many galls did Shangguan Ying eat?
