(Thank you for your support, I will add an update today! The collection was laughed at by someone last time when Xiaofeng tweeted it. This time, the increase in Dafeng’s collection is not gratifying. I bow to everyone and ask for collection.)

In November of the ninth year of Daye, there was a heavy rain in Jiangdu, the whole sky became gray and made people feel uncomfortable, and the heavy rain made people feel afraid.It is precisely because of this that His Majesty's plan to travel had to be postponed.After the new dragon boat was built, it has been idle. After playing in Jiangdu for a few months, the emperor was a little tired, so he decided to take the dragon boat to go north, and go slowly all the way. After the New Year, he could reach Zhuojun.

Since returning from the withdrawal of troops in Liaodong in June, the emperor has not returned to the capital.

The civil and military officials were ready to drive northward, but the heavy rain continued to rain for several days without stopping.Daye Emperor Yang Guang paced back and forth in the palace hall with some boredom, looking up at the rain outside from time to time, frowning and muttering a few words in a low voice.

Empress Xiao just sat on the chair and quietly looked at her husband and children as angry, she couldn't help chuckling: "Your Majesty, you are a khan."

she reminded softly.

"God Khan?"

Yang Guang said angrily, "Tian Khan can't control the sky! When I was going on patrol, it rained heavily for three days and three nights. Isn't this sincerely against me?"

Empress Xiao stood up and walked to Yang Guang's side and said softly: "It's not yet the twelfth lunar month, why should Your Majesty be so anxious?"

"It's already snowing in the north!"

Yang Guang said angrily: "I missed the snow scene by mistake, I will wait for the rain to stop before leaving. After crossing the Yellow River, the snow in the north has melted. I suddenly remembered that I was hunting in the snow in Zhuojun last winter, and my hands were itchy. .”

"There is no shortage of snow in winter in the north, just like Jiangdu never lacks rain."

Empress Xiao patiently said like coaxing a child: "Your Majesty can think this way. After crossing the Yellow River, maybe it happens to catch up with a goose feather heavy snow fluttering in the air. Wouldn't it be more beautiful if the snow scenery on both sides is as picturesque?"

"That's right, the heavy snow is majestic, and the folk husbands on both sides of the river walking in the snow, it is also a magnificent picture!"

Yang Guang beamed and said, "Walking on the snow, it's magnificent!"

Empress Xiao was startled, a picture sketched by the emperor appeared in her mind, but there was nothing magnificent and magnificent to speak of. What she thought of was the muddy snow, and the naked body of the man stretching the strings on the shore walking with difficulty. I don't know how many people's soles were damaged by freezing, and I don't know how many people fell in the snow and couldn't get up again. Those people who are stretched may never appreciate the magnificence of His Majesty's words in their entire lives.

It's just that His Majesty is in a better mood, Empress Xiao will not say such disappointing words.

"Ugh……"

Yang Guang suddenly sighed and said, "Yidao's body hasn't recovered yet. I'm wondering if I should let him follow me on this northern tour. The north is bitterly cold, and his injury hasn't healed quickly. If he catches the wind and cold again, he will be healed." .”

Who says His Majesty is not merciful?

Empress Xiao twitched the corners of her mouth, and swept all the unpleasant things in her mind into the corner.If His Majesty is not kind, will he worry about the injury of an eunuch?His Majesty has always been kind to those around him.It can even be said that there have been very few emperors who have been more benevolent than His Majesty throughout the ages.Yu Wenshu made a big mistake in Liaodong, but the emperor only dismissed him for less than half a year and then reactivated him. The official rank is even more grand than before!As well as Yang Yichen, Su Wei, Yu Zhongwen, Wang Rengong, Xue Shixiong... and those descendants of the aristocratic families who rebelled with Yang Xuangan, His Majesty is all kind.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I sent someone to visit yesterday. The wound from the knife healed very quickly, and now I can get out of bed and walk."

"Oh?"

Yang Guang said pleasantly: "When the rain stops, I will go to see him."

Speaking of Wen Jie, Yang Guang suddenly thought that he had transferred General Feng Xiaoci of Youhouwei to avenge Wen Jie and wipe out those thieves in Juyeze Yanyun Village. It has been almost two months now, and he does not know who Feng Xiaoci fought. How about it.Now that he thought of this matter, he decided to ask.Just as he was about to send someone to summon Pei Ju, it happened that Pei Ju came by himself.Pei Ju was standing outside the door wearing a coir raincoat, but he couldn't stop the pouring rain. His clothes were actually soaked inside and out, and there was a chill all over his body.

However, there was no chill in his heart.

He was clutching a memorial in his hand, which was delivered after a long delay on the road due to banditry after traveling from Dongping County.

Yang Guang let him in, Pei Ju took off his coir raincoat and put it at the entrance of the main hall, bowed and stood aside, soon, the water flowing from his clothes formed a small puddle under his feet, Yang Guang laughed out loud seeing his distressed appearance He got up, and immediately ordered the servant to find a dry clothes for Pei Ju to change.Pei Ju declined in panic, Yang Guang waved his hands and said, "How can I sit idly by watching the important officials of the court get drenched by the rain? Just ask me for a set of common clothes, and let the servant change for now!"

Pei Ju was even more terrified, he quickly bowed his head to persuade, how can a subject wear His Majesty's clothes?Yang Guang insisted on changing it, Empress Xiao frowned, thinking what kind of confusion did Your Majesty commit?Even if it is ordinary clothes, can it be worn by courtiers?So she smiled and persuaded: "Your Majesty still has the clothes from when you went on tour in modest clothes. You can let Mr. Pei change them first."

Only then did Pei Ju express his gratitude, and then changed into ordinary cloth clothes in the side hall.

"You came at the right time. I am about to send someone to pass you on. Youhouwei General Feng Xiaoci led the army to wipe out the rebels in Yanyun Village. Is there any battle report to send back to the imperial court?"

Yang Guang sat down on the dragon chair and asked.

Pei Ju took a slow breath, took a step forward and bowed, "I am about to report to Your Majesty about Youhou Wei."

……

……

According to the usual practice, the soldiers who entered the various guards in the twelfth lunar month began to return home for the New Year one after another.But the soldiers of Youhouwei obviously couldn't go home in time to reunite with their families this year, and the rebels in Yanyun village in Juye Ze hadn't been wiped out. If the imperial court didn't issue an order to withdraw the troops, they would have to stay in Dongping County for another day.More than two months have passed since the expedition in early October, and Dongping County is so cold that it is almost impossible to fight, let alone this battle.

"The official document to the Ministry of War and the memorial to His Majesty have been sent out for more than a month."

Sitting next to the stove, Feng Xiaoci sighed listening to the north wind whistling outside the big tent: "Without enough boats, guides, and other ways to go up the mountain, Juyeze is extremely difficult to capture. Although the food supply in Dongping County has never been cut off, the soldiers lack winter clothes, how can we fight in this weather?"

"I knew Juye Ze was difficult to fight, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult!"

Cui Zhi took a sip of wine, and while sitting by the stove, he still felt the cold invading from outside his body little by little, not only chilling his body, but also chilling his heart.

"The Ministry of War does nothing at all!"

He said angrily: "Maybe the general's official document is sent back. Maybe the minister of the Ministry of War will not see it at all. Even if he saw it, he might pretend not to see it! As for the memorial... Your majesty heard that it has been a long time since your majesty has not seen it in person." I have reviewed the memorial. His Majesty let Pei Ju and Yu Shiji preside over the government, even if the memorial can be delivered to His Majesty, they are the two who pick it!"

Feng Xiaoci knew what Cui Zhi meant, he sighed and said, "If we rush to Jiangdu now, I'm afraid the soldiers won't have time to go home for the New Year."

Cui Zhi was stunned for a moment, guessing what the general was going to do: "Those two! They are white-eyed wolves who can't fill up. No matter how much meat and money are sent over, the big hole can't be filled. Instead of begging them, it's better to ask Dongping County Sheriff Wu Xingzhi said, the general took us into the city to escape the cold. The county soldiers have already returned home, and it happened that the barracks of the school grounds have been vacated for us to live in. Although it is hard work, it is not without benefits. Your Majesty still plans to go east Zheng? We can’t say that we don’t have to go to Liaodong just because we’re suppressing bandits in Dongping County!”

"Tomorrow you will go to the city yourself."

Feng Xiaoci sighed and said, "The soldiers can't stand the cold anymore. When we came north, how much money did we collect from the few villages we wiped out along the way? Check it out, and send it to Wu Shengzhi tomorrow. , what our You Hou Wei lacks the most is not food but winter clothes, let Wu Shengzhi think of a way."

"That's not a good thing either!"

Maybe it was because of the unfavorable battle or the severe cold weather, Cui Zhi's temper became more and more irritable, but he was very much like Liu Shibao who fell to his death on Juyeze Mountain.

"To suppress bandits in Dongping County, we have to look at the face of the local government."

Feng Xiaoci sighed and said, "The soldiers won't be able to last long if they suffer from the cold again."

"I'll go tomorrow!"

Cui Zhi drank the wine in the jug, stood up and cupped his fists and said, "This subordinate is going to inspect the barracks."

"Go and tell the soldiers that I, Feng Xiaoci, have made them suffer."

Cui Zhi had a sore nose, gave a military salute, turned around and walked out of the military tent.Just after going out, I saw a few people running towards this side very quickly in the distance, against the wind, their steps were fast but a little staggering.These people were wearing ordinary people's winter clothes, so Cui Zhi recognized at a glance that they were scouts sent out.Now You Houwei, only the scouts who went out to investigate the news can have thicker clothes to wear.

"General!"

The leading scout team saw Cui Zhihou excitedly and said: "Found it!"

Cui Zhi was stunned, looking at the scout team, whose face was flushed from the cold, with snot still hanging from his nose, and asked, "What did you find?"

The team took a breath and said eagerly: "We wandered around in the mountains for more than twenty days, and finally found a small path into the mountain! Go around from there, and it is the back mountain of Juyeze Yanyun Village!"

Cui Zhi's eyes lit up, and then he burst out laughing.

……

……

On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month in the ninth year of Daye, the scouts sent by Feng Xiaoci worked tirelessly to sneak into the mountains to explore the way. The hard work paid off, and they finally found a secret path for them.From here, you can go up the mountain and go around to Yanyun
