The reborn general girl is the emperor

Chapter 273
The next year's heavy snowfall is of course an important matter, but Yan Qing can't figure out how this has anything to do with her insisting on going to the Northland with her.

"Since you have entrusted me with the logistics, I must be able to shoulder this burden."

Guo Jia didn't wait for her to ask her doubts, and explained with a smile, "It's unrealistic to hoard a large amount of supplies in the North from the beginning. One is that people will suspect you. After all, you just took office, even if you have the old general Qin support, such an abnormal behavior will inevitably be opposed by others."

"Secondly, it will alert the people of the Snow Plains. According to common sense, the spread of the plague will be greatly reduced in such a cold environment, but the plague in the Northland is uncharacteristically, and it is difficult for people not to suspect that there is something hidden in it. Let them be vigilant and use other methods, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with them."

Guo Jia took a sip of hot tea and came to a conclusion, "So the best way is to ensure that after the heavy snowfall, the supplies can still be transported into the Northland, so as not to let the heavy snow turn the Northland into an isolated city that cannot ask for help and cannot be rescued. "

"It has been a problem for many years that it is difficult to guarantee the logistics in the winter in the Northland. As a new official, you are eager to make achievements. It is very reasonable to take the old disease. I have to express my opinion on behalf of my father. The government Even if those people feel that you are incapable of solving this matter, they will not intervene for my father's sake."

Guo Jia analyzed with her, and suddenly smiled smugly at her, "How about it? I said take me, you won't suffer!"

Yan Qing was amused by her sudden boast, "You really know how to pull a tiger's skin."

"I learned this from you. When it comes to pulling tiger skins, who can be bigger than the tiger skin you pulled, General?"

Guo Jia joked back her words, but said complacently, "But when we get to the northern border, your tiger skin may not be better than mine."

"Although that is the case, there is no need for you to come with me at this time."

Hearing that Guo Jia made a big detour, Yan Qing brought the question back, "The New Year's Eve is approaching, if you stay in Mocheng, you can go back to Yangcheng to spend the New Year with Lord Hou. Follow me through this journey, But only those who suffer."

"What you said is wrong."

Guo Jia retorted, "After the New Year's Eve, there are still opportunities to spend with my father, but I have to go to the Northland this time, and it has to be when the mountains are covered by heavy snow."

"Oh?"

What she said made Yan Qing a little confused, "Why do you have to go when the mountains are covered by heavy snow?"

"If you haven't seen the Beidi pass under the snow-covered mountain with your own eyes, how can you have a clear plan for the project of expanding the official road to ensure smooth logistics in the coming year?"

Guo Jia asked her back, and said, "Since you have entrusted me with the logistics, then I will definitely keep an eye on it. If you don't know the topography and landforms after the heavy snow in the Northland, just listen to what others say. , Judging from historical data, it is inevitable that there will be some bias, and the progress and construction of the project will not be accurately grasped, which will affect the major events of next year."

Hearing that Guo Jia wanted to take over this matter, Yan Qing didn't object, but said: "These have their own special craftsmen to calculate and arrange, and you don't have to see it yourself."

"It's true that I have little understanding of construction, and the specific matters must be handed over to the craftsmen. But as a supervisor, if I don't have a good grasp of the overall situation, I will definitely be looked down upon by others, and the project will be slack."

Although he understood that Yan Qing was doing it for her own good, Guo Jia did not intend to give in, "Not everyone is like you and me, knowing that this matter is of great importance. The heavy snow in the north and the loss of contact with the outside world are old problems. , People in the Northland are used to this, and have a set of skilled coping modes. They don't know that this coping mode is about to fail, and they don't think it will fail. They only think that you and I are eager for quick success and whimsical."

"So it is almost inevitable that they will slack off. And I have to go this trip myself, and even go deep into the construction that I don't understand, just to let them know our determination and let them feel our urgency. Only in this way can we It is possible to solve the problems that have plagued the Northland for a hundred years within one year."

Guo Jia's words were true, and Yan Qing knew it very well.

She originally planned to urge the craftsmen to do their best in the form of military orders and high rewards, but she didn't want Guo Jia, who was unexpected, to point her to a new path.

It's just that the timing is wrong.

"This trip will cost you your life."

Yan Qing emphasized to her again.

"Since you want to change your fate against the sky, how can there be any reason not to work hard?"

Guo Jia blew the white air from the teacup, but his eyes fell on the empty medicine bowl in Yan Qing's hand, "I can't let you take care of everything by yourself while I sit back and enjoy it. If you collapse early, If I want to find someone who is willing to trust me like you, it will be difficult."

In fact, even if someone is willing to trust her like Yan Qing, it is impossible for someone to replace Yan Qing to do these things.

Some things can be changed by changing the person, but some things must be done by a specific person.

Guo Jia understands this truth, and so does Yan Qing.

"Besides, isn't there still you, General!"

Guo Jia, who just said that he would share the pressure for Yan Qing, turned around and turned the blame on him, "With someone as brave and skilled as you, can I still be plotted against by those Xiaoxiao who hide their heads and show their tails?"

Yan Qing took a deep look at her, and said with a smile, "That's right. As long as I'm still here, Lord Hou won't give me a chance to peel my skin."

Guo Jia was amused by her joke, but she didn't think what she thought was a joke, but she really took it to heart.

In order to enter the Northland as soon as possible, they left the post house and set off again after the wind and snow subsided a little.

And Xiaoxiao, who hides his head and shows his tail, finally shows his shape.

In the whistling wind and snow, the fragments of the carriage had been buried by the snow, along with countless corpses.

Guarded by Qiu Sang and Cai Wei, Guo Jia looked at the blood-stained back in front of her, and suddenly regretted that she hadn't listened to the persuasion and insisted on following her through this journey.

When the last person fell down, Guo Jia finally couldn't stand anymore, pushed away Qiu Sang's support, stepped on the deep snow and ran quickly to Yan Qing's side, and held her up with her hands. The silk handkerchief was up and down, but she didn't know which wound to plug so that her face would not continue to fade.

It wasn't until someone grabbed her hand that the silk handkerchief in her hand had a place to rest.

"Are you okay?"

The hoarse and deep voice was no longer as clear as it used to be, and Guo Jia could no longer hold back the tears in his eyes.

"fine."

She wiped her face in a panic, but wiped the blood on Yan Qing's body, opened and closed her trembling lips, and repeated a sentence, "I'm fine."

She didn't even dare to ask how the person in front of her was, fearing that she would get the same "I'm fine", and afraid that she wouldn't get such a sentence.
