The reborn general girl is the emperor

"Something went wrong."

Although Hong Ying tried his best to calm down, when it came to the news from Yan Qi, he couldn't help frowning, "Prince Duan confirmed that he was drowned, and the news should reach the capital in a few days. When the time comes, there will be turmoil between the government and the people. General Bai told you not to act rashly in northern Xinjiang. It is best to stay in the northern region for a long time so that you can evacuate to the west when the situation is not right."

Even though Yan Qing should be allowed to rest at this time, but this matter is extraordinary, even if she doesn't want to bother her, it is impossible.

If something goes wrong and the timing is missed, not only Yan Qing's life will be in jeopardy.

Although it was expected, when the news was confirmed, Yan Qing was still stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Is the Xianwang family still missing?"

In fact, even without asking, she already had the final answer in her heart.It's just that there is no definite news, and people are somewhat unwilling to give up.

"There is no definite news, but the chances of survival are not high."

Hongying replied, "Our foundation in northern Xinjiang is not stable. When we went to investigate, the local area has been turned upside down by people from northern Xinjiang and Kangdu, and all traces have been destroyed. In addition, the local mountains and caves are quite There are many, and the terrain is complicated, so it is impossible to search for people all over the mountain."

"People who have been inquiring about the news in the town recently heard that an Orion fell into a snow cave and found a dead body. People from Beijiang and Kangdu have rushed to confirm. In a few days, the exact news will be delivered."

There was no news of King Xian's disappearance for a year, but there was news when King Duan was killed.What this portends is almost self-evident.

"Is there any news about the inner court in Yangcheng?"

Yan Qing asked again.

Ever since they noticed the anomaly in Beijing, they withdrew all their people and set up defenses in the two places in the northwest. At this time, they did not grasp the news of the inner court in time.

"The emperor sent Wang Jingke, the son of Wang Weitao, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, to northern Xinjiang as an imperial envoy. He said that he had allowed the payment of taxes in northern Xinjiang to be postponed, and brought a reward for the Marquis of Zhenbei and you."

Hong Ying replied, "I have already arrived in Yangcheng and was detained by the Marquis of Zhenbei. It is expected that when the snow first melts in the next year, I will come to look for you. I am afraid that I will only know more news after contacting Wang Jingke."

"Ah."

Yan Qing responded, pointed his fingertips on the table, remained silent for a while, and then spoke slowly, "King Shu..."

Hearing these two words, Hongying's back stiffened, and her lowered eyes were lowered. She didn't know whether to say the news or how to say it, but she heard Yan Qing change the subject, "Qiang land is now the West Jiang is taking over?"

Hongying was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The Qiang land is now under the jurisdiction of Xijiang. And because the situation in southern Xinjiang is unstable, the towns in the southwest of Zhanghuai area are also under the temporary management of Xijiang."

"The Qiang land is full of insects and hot, but the water and soil are abundant. If it is handled well, it can be used as a granary for Western Xinjiang. The Zhanghuai area in the southwest is a sea crossing, which can provide convenience for the movement of soldiers, horses, money and food."

Hearing this, Hong Ying was startled, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you planning to go back to Western Border?"

"perhaps."

Yan Qing was silent for a while, "Western Xinjiang has strong soldiers and horses. The only weakness is that the food production is not abundant, and it is difficult to support the army in Western Xinjiang for a long time. As an emperor, in order to check and balance the forces in Western Xinjiang, it is natural to maintain the status quo. Lands and other lands with convenient water transportation and rich products are assigned to Xijiang to make up for the shortcomings of Xijiang, so that Xijiang has the capital to raise soldiers and horses for a long time."

"Your Majesty, he must have anticipated the current situation a long time ago. He asked me to come to northern Xinjiang to manage the three northern regions of Jingmo that are closer to Western Xinjiang. If you don’t give him your heart, you will have your wings cut off.”

Hongying was puzzled, "Isn't he afraid that the Xijiang family will dominate and will escape from control?"

"Maybe he really isn't afraid, maybe he doesn't want to control Xijiang at all."

Yan Qing's words made Hongying startled again, "If you want to drive away the wolf, you have to untie the chain that is locked around the wolf's neck and let it lose control, so that it is possible to compete with the tiger. As for whether the chain can be removed later Put it back on the wolf's neck, and the tiger will devour its life first, so it doesn't matter what happens in the future."

"Remind Zhenbei Hou that if you enter the inner court again, it will be a dragon's pool and a tiger's lair, you can enter but not exit."

After Yan Qing finished speaking, he waved him away.

In the following days, Yan Qing has been recuperating at Shanhaiju, and handed over the handover of the Northland to Yan Zhongqi and Guo Jia respectively—Yan Zhongqi is in charge of the army, and Guo Jia is in charge of the government and documents.

During the period, Qin Mang came to see Yan Qing once after he was busy with military affairs. Seeing that Yan Qing had improved, he also let out a long sigh of relief, and told her not to worry about anything else.

Afterwards, Qin Mang took Yan Zhongqi and others, who had concealed their identities, to the military camp, and temporarily took over the northern soldiers and horses as Yan Qing's cronies.

Although several veterans guessed something after hearing Yan Zhongqi's alias, they all tacitly didn't say or ask.

Things at the barracks were proceeding in an orderly manner, but Guo Jia's side was not going well.

She handled the handover of documents very well, and she also got the support of the government for the matter of rebuilding the official path, but there was a big problem that could not be solved.

"There are many mountains in the north, and some places are covered with snow all the year round, and the permafrost is cold and hard, which is not easy to dig, and is also prone to avalanches; in some places, there is a large temperature difference between day and night throughout the year, rapid cooling and rapid heating, loose soil, and easy to collapse. North Earth craftsmen have studied it for many years, but there is no solution."

Guo Jia really had no choice, so he came back to complain to Yan Qing, "I heard that you have a capable person under your command, who can deduce and calculate, especially proficient in geology and manufacturing. Before you were able to blow up the gate of the Qiang imperial court, Half of the credit is due to his deduction and calculation of the optimal blasting point, as well as the amount of explosives, the angle of explosion, etc. Is there such a thing?"

"That's what happened."

Yan Qing nodded.

Back then, the city gates of the Qiang imperial court could be successfully blasted, partly by Shan Tiangong's deduction and calculation, and partly by Yang Baichuan's precise execution.

This incident was not a secret at the time, but it was later added to the story by storytellers, and it became even more miraculous.

"You want Shan Tiangong to be in charge of the design and construction of the grain road?"

Guo Jia nodded fiercely, obviously waiting for her words, "With the help of such a god-man, this problem that has plagued the artisans of the Northland for many years will definitely be solved!"

"Don't be too happy."

Yan Qing poured cold water on her with some helplessness, "There are two problems in letting Shan Tiangong take charge of this matter. One is that he is from the south and has limited knowledge of the situation in the north, so he may not be able to make an accurate judgment; the other is that Shan Tiangong is relatively young, so the old craftsmen in the Northland may not obey him, and he is more arrogant and stubborn, and cannot tolerate doubts from others."

"If it works, you have to try it. Didn't you tell me that at the beginning?"

Guo Jia said, "You just need to call people here, you don't have to worry about other things, I will take care of any problems. I can't take care of it, and my father will take care of it."
