Chapter 1273 1273: One battle to determine the southwest (10) [Happy National Day](1/2)
Cui Hui could not barely stay until the third day of awakening.
Cui Zhi still saw the dragon but didn't see the tail.
Cui Hui only vaguely noticed that the other party had appeared briefly when she was half asleep. Every time she woke up, she could not see anyone, and only smelled the remaining incense on the other party. It was okay for the man to be there, but she still had a filial son to serve him, serve tea and water, and was busy.
However, it’s not always easy for me.
Cui Xiong seems attentive and considerate and caring, but he will show a look of wanting to speak but stopping when Cui Hui is not paying attention.
I think I am hiding it invisible, but in fact it is not.
He saw Cui Hui's illusion of stomachache and said impatiently: "Wei Niang knows that you are the one who can't hide your words in your heart. If you have anything, just say it if you want to. If you don't say it, put away your expression!"
Cui Xiong hesitated: "Baojun has come."
"Where are hers?"
"Son, my son makes the decision to let her go back first. My mother is in poor health, and what she needs most now is rest and conditioning..."
Cui Xiong's voice gradually lowered.
Cui Hui sneered: "Say it, why don't you continue talking? Why did Baojun offend you? You drove the person away?"
The "Baojun" mentioned by Cui Xiong is the vest Youbao borrowed by Miao Ne. Since the king gave the marriage, the two have been a legitimate unmarried couple. In order to cultivate the relationship between the two children so that they will not become a resentful couple if they are blindly married and become a resentful couple. Whether it is the king or the Cui family, both parties are happy to see Cui Xiong interacting with "Baojun". The two did not disappoint the expectations of their elders.
How do the two people in love make a fuss just by saying something?
Cui Hui asked, and Cui Xiong could only confess: "She... did not offend her son, but she came to the door this time... It was not because she was 'Baojun' to see you, but because she was ordered by the lord... The son was not because Baojun was angry, but because the one above her head."
The eldest son's resentment was even greater than Cui Hui expected.
He even dared to speak out a ruthless saying: "So what about the lord of a country? He used to regard a noble family as a thorn in his eyes. He made things difficult for us several times with his confidant Mei Jinghe, and even reached his hand to his mother's side, which almost caused you to be buried in the dungeon. Now he broke up with Mei Jinghe, and thought of our family. He tried to give something and exposed the dungeon and used them to compensate for the sufferings his mother suffered. I asked, how could there be such a cheap thing in the world? If Baojun went back, he didn't want to quarrel. He was so hurtful of his relationship. It would be better not to meet."
In addition, other aspects are also concerned.
The entire King Qi knew that Cui's former mistress was taken to the dungeon by Mei Jinghe, and was punished by Yan Ling, and was destined to live a long life. What is the difference between this and murder? The king gave him some reward and then turned it over. Will the royal family arrest anyone who wants to capture Cui's future?
Even if he tossed a person half his life, he was not afraid. He would be dismissed with a little reward. The life of the Cui woman was not worth much. Cui Xiong didn't know what his father Cui Zhi was thinking, so he would not allow this situation to happen.
Cui Hui: "..."
If you should say it, Cui Xiong is indeed Cui Zhi's son.
The father and son are really similar in some ways.
She asked her son: "Big Xiong, then tell Wei Niang - you have any advice from Baojun privately? You feel that you have difficulties and are very wronged, but Baojun, who was rejected by you and treated indifferently, isn't it even more wronged? As long as you still have a marriage, you should consider her mood more. Her identity is not only the right-hand man that the lord must use, but also your fiancée."
She knew that her fiancée was fake, but her son didn't know.
No matter who his future daughter-in-law is, Cui Hui can't stand the self-confidence of the Cui father and son, and thought that he was a heart attack after seeing it.
Cui Xiong was surprised and said, "But Baojun..."
"Are you worried that Baojun will be more inclined to the king and betray you?"
Cui Xiong: "..."
His silence is a kind of default.
Cui Hui sneered: "Is it mute?"
"... My son knew that his mother had always liked Baojun, and believed that she was not such a person. He felt uncomfortable when he heard it. However, my son felt that no matter who it was, it was foolish to give up his future for a relationship that would change at any time! It was as stupid as a pig! Baojun was smart. If she knew about it, it would be normal for her to report to the king! My son thought so, so he wouldn't say it."
While telling the other party the secret, expecting the other party to choose himself rather than the future is equivalent to a rich man holding gold to show off in front of the thief, and also forcing the thief to maintain good moral character, not fighting, stealing or robbing. This kind of behavior is really sick!
It's better to keep silent from the beginning.
Cui Hui: "..."
OK, the mother is right, the mother is right.
She didn't argue with her son about these details. Anyway, the king of Qi and the king of Qi repaired their relationship with her, and it was imperative to win over "Shen Zhongli" through her. It was impossible to give up just because of one or two rejections. Cui Hui relaxed his mind and devoted himself to recuperating his wounds.
As expected, the king of Qi showed ten percent of his enthusiasm and sincerity, and almost changed his ways to comfort Cui Hui. In addition to material compensation, he also released a feast to meet the young talents for Cui Hui's daughter, hoping to promote another marriage.
It seems to be a favor, but it is also a sign of threatening Cui Hui.
It only depends on how the parties involved view this matter.
The king of Qi did not put all the eggs in one basket. In addition to the above methods, he issued an order to praise Shen Tang's vest in Qi, praising her political achievements in the past two years. Last year, the rainy season was frequent, and there were as many as one million people affected in a few months. The collapse of dams in the other two places caused floods downstream, and the refugees had nowhere to settle down. In such an environment, there were few areas under her rule that were in the disaster area but had no losses.
Before the wind in all directions came, the city defense barrier had already opened.
When the disaster winds passed, the disaster situation was reported in turn and other funds were allocated to provide relief. Shen Tang only reported that more than 30 private houses collapsed, and said that these old houses were originally planned to be demolished, so nature helped to save labor. Eleven injured people, three of whom were injured and injured when they went out without advice. The remaining eight were old and frost-free and typhoid fever. Fortunately, the medicine was used in time and did not kill anyone.
At that time, Chen Tang's vest was scolded by the Censorate of Qi State.
Many civil and military officials thought she was trying to seek credit and conceal it without reporting it! Cui Zhi's political enemies also satirized this matter with Yin and Yang, and believed that this absurd memorial was instructed by Cui, which was simply foolish! They only wanted to seek credit and flatter, but ignored the vast number of victims!
Cui Zhi was attacked very hard.
The truth doesn't matter, what is important is that it can attack political enemies.
The king of the country watched the situation on the wall. Before the two sides quarreled, he left a sentence, and sent someone to investigate the authenticity, and the innocent people were innocent. The matter was left unresolved, and the investigation results were not announced. The hot topics in the court were the same every day, and no one continued to pay attention to this matter for a long time. No one expected that the king of Qi would take the initiative to mention it, and used this as a reason to promote the people of the Cui camp and appointed Chen Tang's vest to take charge of the territory of a county.
The location here is somewhat subtle.
It not only includes the areas where Chen Tang’s vest was first governed, but also takes into account some areas where the country’s confidants were qualified to be infected. It is nominally a county, but in fact it is much larger than a "county", which means that this new darling has unlimited potential.
Those who are interested have to think more.
Are the king and Cui so good to wear a coquettish nose?
Not only does the outside world think so, but there are many voices inside the Cui family. Faced with many rumors, Cui family leader Cui Zhi has never responded positively, and rarely appears in front of others. Most of the matters of Cui family are decided by the eldest son Cui Xiong, and his attitude is ambiguous.
The undercurrents in the capital are surging, which does not affect Chen Tang's promotion and wealth. Recently, it has been smooth sailing. With the legitimate excuse of expanding the scale of his own private division, he has crossed the road in turn. He does not admit, refuse or promises to show goodwill to the Lord of Qi. He will make up for the rest of the king of Qi.
First, seek trust, and finally send Qi away with a backhand.
Chen Tang did not plan to delay this battle.
"A year of decisive world!"
Chen Tang has been operating in the southwest for more than two years through a vest. Because of her limited territory and Cui's close attention, she is not too crazy in recruiting soldiers and horses, and is the most important thing. Most of her energy is used to expand her circle of friends, use high-quality rice seeds to hoard supplies, food and grass, cut leeks in different ways, and act as an intermediary between the small countries in the southwest and the Qi State. In recent years, Qi State has successively annexed other countries. Although the frequency is not high, it has also made the small countries close to be in panic all day long.
When small countries have contacts with Kang State, they will feel more secure.
The chess pieces are in place, and it's almost time to start.
Liao Jia pinched the chess piece and pondered for a while, lowered his eyes and looked at the complicated endgame, and said, "A year? Will it be too rush?"
The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. Even if we are well prepared, it will be difficult to win several Southwest Continental Alliances led by Qi in one year. No matter how confident Liao Jia is in this game, he does not think that quick success is a good thing, and it is easy to conquer.
Chen Tang: "It takes one year to take over the Southwest Continent."
Not part of the southwest.
She sighed: "Speed up."
If the speed is too slow and the central continent reacts and intervenes, it will be more troublesome, and the situation will be several times more difficult than being attacked by the Beimo and Gaoguo. She has made arrangements over the years, including but not limited to giving some small central countries a taste of sweetness.
On the surface, small countries pay protection fees for big countries, while big countries accept small countries and no longer move troops. The relationship between the two sides is friendly and honeymoon-like, but in fact, they treat them as a buffer zone for war and prevent their own big countries from moving north. If not, with Chen Tang's unrestrained personality, she would have digested all the small countries around her that she could swallow over the years. Small countries are not important, just delay time!
Liao Jia simulated it over and over again in his mind, assuming hundreds of thousands of unexpected situations. He did not persuade Chen Tang to be cautious, but just asked: "Master, are there any preparations in the country?"
Chen Tang: "You also know the personalities of other people."
Whether radicals or conservatives are in Kangguo, the difference is that radicals like to use the most brutal and straightforward means to grab military merit. The conservatives believe that no matter how good military merit is, they need to be used to get it in a decent way. Chen Tang also spent a lot of energy to suppress their peaceful development: "If you don't let people out for a walk, I'm really afraid that they will forget to hurt if they heal their scars..."
Wasn’t Li Wan the instigated by these people back then?
"I don't need it, they've been ready for a long time..."
Just wait for a command to slaughter the beasts.
Liao Jia couldn't help but smile when he thought of those colleagues.
"The Lord's words are exaggerated."
The war between civil and military people is warlike, but the Lord is determined to suppress it and no longer has war. How can he not be suppressed? Those people have the courage to be ready to move, because they see that the Lord also has the intention to provoke war. The king and his subjects are always united.
Liao Jia stroked the chess piece: "There is a chance for one year, and Jia is just worried that the central mainland will not give this opportunity..."
A little bit adventurous.
Chen Tang smiled and said, "Do you know that a few days ago, an uninvited guest came to the palace. I don't care about you. The person who came was Weicheng, the twenty-class marquis Che who was short-lived in the battle of Gaoguo. He and his uncle were both loyal to the king of Wu Kingdom. It was impossible to change to the wall, but he did weaken his attitude that day, and it would not be difficult to use them at any time. In addition, I have accumulated a certain amount of strength in the incarnation of the central continent. There are really strong countries in the central region who join forces to snipe us, which can come in handy!"
She gave an example: "For example, it is not difficult to mix in their Allies, burn their food and grass, and sneak into trouble for people."
Her way of princes could not provide powerful force when she was weak, and she could only rely on her despicable development and make allies to survive that period. However, after she developed strongly, this way of princes was a magical skill that made her look like a tiger!
The enemy's food and grass were burned, and they could not even walk, let alone war.
On the other hand, Chen Tang?
The supply of grain and grass is abundant, and the mobility is not bound by the grain line.
Chen Tang said that burning people and food secretly could really delay the interception and sniper from the central region. She gave herself one year of time to pacify the southwestern continent, and this year was not her limit but her guarantee!
Liao Jia coughed lightly and joked.
"This matter... Fortunately, Qijulang is not here." If Qijulang writes down today, it will be spread to future generations. The Lord will not want to tear off the label of "dark villain".
The mainstream still prefers the open and powerful lord.
To be continued...
