Chapter 594 Seeing relatives in a foreign land Hey!
"This coal mine is really important in Guanzhou. If it is captured, the government will not be so embarrassed and controlled by others in the winter."
"The competition for Leshan is also for this coal mine. The prince and the king of Qi will play at the same time. Most likely, the imperial court will allow Guanzhou and Xizhou to jointly govern Leshan Prefecture."
Yan Huaiwen's slender fingers flicked a line on the map.
"Once this matter is settled, for the convenience of taking care of the affairs of the two prefectures, the prince can go up and redefine the boundaries between Guanzhou and Leshan. The king of Qi will definitely respond to expand the land, and Guanzhou can take the opportunity to seize this mine! "
The King of England took a deep look at him.
Three prefectures re-determined borders!
This Yan Huaiwen, dare to think!
He took a long breath and asked slowly: "What if Xizhou doesn't give it?"
"Leshan is useless in Guanzhou, but for Xizhou, King Qi is sure to win!" Yan Huaiwen moved his finger to another place, and said softly: "My lord, please look, this is the river that leads directly to the capital. It has not been seen for many years. It is hard to manage, the silt is difficult to clear, and it is often shut down. Last year, there was a severe drought, and the water level dropped sharply. If the drought continues this year and the next two years, and the river dries up, the Xizhou Army can drive straight into the capital from then on!"
Yan Huaiwen didn't say anything, but King Ying didn't think so.
After pointing it out, he suddenly felt stunned.
It's strange that King Qi will care so much about Leshan Mansion.
Going from the northern provinces to the capital, most of them take the official route, and the number of people traveling north and south by boat has become less and less in recent years.
Tell him to ignore this place.
In this way, what King Qi thought was clear.
If you really want to send troops to the capital, walk along the canal without hindrance.
"When resetting the three sides, we can allocate more of Leshan's land in Xizhou, and I, Guanzhou, only need this one." Yan Huaiwen's voice revealed some firmness. "They won't give it, no way! Guanzhou can't get this coal mine, so don't think about anything else in Xizhou."
"Helping him fight the road to the canal, isn't it seeking skin from a tiger?" the King of England couldn't help asking.
Yan Huaiwen said softly: "If the Beirong is not eliminated, Guanzhou will be in trouble."
He lowered his voice: "With the elimination of Beibei, the pressure on the customs and defense has dropped sharply, and the manpower can be streamlined and stationed elsewhere..."
Get rid of Bei Rong's heart disease, so that he can free up his hands to deal with Qi Wang, a traitor.
As for where to garrison, need to say?
Naturally, it is the border between Zhenbing and Xizhou, and because the king of England is also in charge of Leshan, it is reasonable to guard it together.
Wang Deshan narrowed his eyes, and the light in his eyes disappeared in a flash.
What I think in my heart is that the emperor has already grown up. Among the kings, except for the prince who died young, the king of England is the eldest. The illusion of being out early.
But judging from those of them who have been in the palace since childhood, His Majesty has not yet determined the candidate for the crown prince.
If the king of Qi is really rebellious, the prince will first eliminate the Beirong, and then suppress the rebels. The two great achievements will add to the body. Among the princes, which one can stand shoulder to shoulder with the prince!
He couldn't help raising his eyes to look at Yan Huaiwen, and saw that the other party sensed his gaze looking back, and the two looked at each other, and their eyes separated immediately.
"Your Majesty." Wang Deshan said in a low voice, "The grain and grass can still be collected, but...but if you mobilize troops and horses, you can't hide it from anyone."
King Ying subconsciously looked at Yan Huaiwen.
Yan Huaiwen said shallowly: "Regarding the dispute over the governance of Leshan Prefecture, the prince can mobilize troops and horses to deter Xizhou in order to achieve his goal."
Guanzhou and Xizhou are both important frontier defense towns, and it is reasonable to fight for land.
He said again: "Also, the Beirong invaded the border."
"But Beirong...has never been here in winter." Mr. Tian said. "It's snowing heavily and it's cold, Beirong came to grab coal." Yan Huaiwen didn't think about it.
"We bought all the coal in Xizhou." Yan Huaiwen had a faint smile on his lips.
Heng'er came back and said that his second uncle complained a lot, saying that the king of Qi was unscrupulous and sold coal at sky-high prices!
…
"Brother Xue! You're finally back!" Second Yan grabbed Xue Zongqi's hand, tears streaming down his face.
Meet relatives in a foreign land Hey!
Who knows, family members, he has had enough time in this coal yard!
"Qi Si, Second Brother misses you to death! What are you doing standing there, come on, come on, take off your shoes and get on the kang, no, no, don't take them off, I'll boil the water, you two wash first, relax and relax." Yan Lao Er pushed the two of them outside while talking.
They can’t be allowed to take off their shoes in the house. Look at this dirty body. I don’t know how many days they have been buried outside. Once they take off their shoes, his hut can’t live anymore.
"Let's go, go to the kitchen." Old Yan Yan said as he walked, "Wash up, and I'll get you some cushions. The conditions are limited, so you can eat whatever you want. It's not a coincidence that you came here. There is nothing to eat, so I have to go to the city to buy it."
"It's fine if you have something warm to eat. This trip back and forth, but it's a crime. Hurry up, brother Yan. I've eaten enough dry food. It's so hard, it almost gave me a toothache... By the way, tell me quickly He said, why did you come here? When did you come here? When we heard about it, we couldn’t believe it. If it weren’t for the people who inquired about the truth, how could we have found it here!”
Xue Zongqi and Yan Lao Er were chatting enthusiastically.
Yan Laoer boiled water, and Xue Zongqi added firewood beside him.
Yan's second son made pimple soup, and Xue Zongqi was drooling over it.
Xue Zongqi snorted and ate, while Yan's second son squatted beside him, seeing that he was hungry, he also filled a small bowl for himself.
Xue Zongqi washed up, Yan Laoer wanted to avoid it, but he didn't expect Xue Zongqi to treat him as an outsider and face him frankly...
The two of them never stopped talking, talking about one thing for a while, and another for a while, both of them were curious about what the other had experienced, and they kept asking questions when they caught hold.
There is a back and forth, you talk for a while and I talk for a while, but Xue Zongqi has almost finished talking here, and Yan Laoer is not finished here.
Xue Zongqi:...
Did so many things happen during the time I was away?
I was also tasked with finding out the reality of Xizhou, and I finally got something. I was complacent and thought that I was going to make a contribution. Are you sure about it? !
No, King Qi, are you so secretive when you want to do big things?
Also, this guy Yan Er was admitted as a scholar? Or the first name? !
He entered the palace as an errand, and was sent by the prince to accompany his son to Xizhou to buy coal.
No, cousin-in-law, is that how you trust Yan Er?
What else does this guy have besides a mouth?
Speaking of which, how did Yan Er get admitted as a scholar? Which is the problem? Which test paper is it, blind or not? !
Just Yan Er? Return the first name? !
Xue Zongqi's mood when he met his relatives in a foreign country immediately felt a little unsatisfactory.
Yan Laoer said that his cheeks hurt, so he stopped to take a breath, mainly because Xue Zongqi was not as flattering as before, and there was no audience to respond, so he was a bit boring talking alone.
Drinking water to moisten his throat, Yan Laoer suddenly stopped and looked around in circles.
There was a "Huh"!
"Where's Qi Si? He wasn't here just now, and he took the pot away. Where did the cat eat it?"
Cough, well, I overestimated my speed, if I didn’t keep it, then ~~~ I’ll keep it tomorrow o(*////▽////*)q
Thinking about changing the chapter name, Xue Zongqi is back, and Qi Si is back too~ Hey, who else?
