The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 844 I Want Zang'er

As soon as the sky cleared, Xue Rengui wrote the battle report and sent someone to Peicheng as quickly as possible. When Shangcai was surrounded, Lan Yu once wrote the battle report to the emperor, asking for help.

If Xue Rengui's calculations are not wrong, the army starting from Peicheng may have reached Shouchun, or even the next generation of Cai, and it will reach Shangcai City in a day or two at most.

Now that the war is over, the question that needs to be considered now is how to save military rations.

Originally, in the calculation of Qin State, Jin State would never go to war with Qin State. Even if it was some time ago, Jin State aggressively attacked the Heavenly Kingdom, and the situation was very good. The garrisons in the region do not add up to more than [-].

Of course, even though this is the case, Qin’s calculations are not bad. Although there are not many troops stationed in Shangcai and Ruyang, the speed of mobilization of the army is very fast. In just three or two days, Shouchun Xue Rengui’s army, If it is really urgent, Wei Qing who is stationed in Juchao can also mobilize the army to go north.

Then there is the army stationed in Han, which can still be mobilized.

Facing the wall chart in front of him, Xue Rengui thought about it left and right, and finally felt that there was no big problem, and the previous military deployment still did not need to be changed.

Sapphire's performance in this battle is also very good, and he can ask the emperor for credit.

The entire Shangcai City, I don’t know if it was negligent in the past, or because of some other willingness, the moat was not built, so that the well can drive straight in.

So building a moat became Xue Rengui's next task.

Where is Shouchun? There is nothing to worry about. With the county guard Kou Zhun here, even if Liu Bei who has disappeared appears in Shouchun City, so what?

In addition, it is impossible to shoot stones outside the city, which is also a flaw.It is necessary to build an earth wall at a distance of 180 feet from the outer wall to shoot stones. If the height of an earth wall can exceed the city wall, it will be excellent.

There is also the problem of material reserves... Xue Rengui wrote down almost all the problems exposed by this battle on paper. do it.

After making these preparations, Xue Dingshan came to report that General Zhendong had led the army to Xiacai City, and just received the messenger. Hearing that Shangcai City was raining again and again, the army stopped and did not continue to advance.

Xue Rengui heard this, and said: "That's good too. I have more than enough time to defend the land, and if I am not prepared to capture it, I can ask Deng Ai to go back and report to the emperor. After he leaves, the emperor will have no army to use."

As he said that, Xue Rengui wrote down the military order himself, then stamped it, and asked Xue Dingshan to deliver the letter himself.

As soon as Xue Dingshan left the General's Mansion with the letter, he ran into Chang Mao.

Chang Mao's injury has not completely healed, but it did not affect his walking.

"Major General, I'm going to go to Caicheng." Chang Mao laughed.

Xue Dingshan took a look at Chang Mao: "Stop talking nonsense, can you ride a horse? This is an order from the commander-in-chief, and it must be delivered as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Chang Mao said immediately, with a wave of his right hand, someone led the horse and rushed over.

"Heh! You are quite complete!" Xue Dingshan laughed, and then said: "However, I heard people say that your father seems to have been revoked the title of general by the emperor because of you shooting Yong Chi. Hi, do you still dare to see your father?"

"Why don't you dare!" Chang Mao said stiffly, "No matter what, I am his son, can I still be with him?"

"Come on, you're not afraid of yourself. I'm still here worrying about what to do. Get on the horse and follow me. If the wound collapses on the way, don't blame me!"

"I'm not talking about you, Xue Dingshan, you are becoming more and more like a woman." Chang Mao got on the horse and said with contempt.

Xue Dingshan was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "If you talk nonsense again, you will stay in Shangcai to dig the soil!"

Chang Mao immediately shut up.

From Shangcai to Xiacai City, it was only at noon the next day that the two men had already arrived with hundreds of cavalry.

When Xue Dingshan came to Xiacai City, he first gave Deng Ai a letter written by his father.

After reading it, Hu Sanniang said: "Don't worry, Major General, since the enemies outside Shangcai City have already withdrawn, we will return to the court immediately. All the rations we have traveled along the way have been borrowed from Lord Shangshu."

"Ah?" Xue Dingshan was surprised when he heard the words, "Is the imperial court's food shortage has reached this level?"

"That's not it!" Hu Sanniang said with a wry smile: "Some time ago, the head of my family almost lost his official position and almost went to prison because of the food collection."

Hearing this, Xue Dingshan glanced at Deng Ai who was smiling wryly.

Deng Ai stuttered, and at this time all his words depended on Hu Sanniang. Maybe the husband and wife really were of the same mind, but Hu Sanniang could know what Deng Ai was thinking when he played around.

"It doesn't matter if we don't mention it. We have almost collected all the food and grass that can be collected in the Han area. There is still a [-] army stationed in Suiyang City, just to prevent Zhao Guo and Jiujiang traitor Han Xin from leading the army southward. .” Hu Sanniang said.

"I heard that there should be a lot of reserves in the Yizhou Peninsula." Xue Dingshan said casually.

"All... all of them..." Deng Ai spoke excitedly, and Hu Sanniang continued: "That guy Cheng Yaojin transported them from the sea, almost all of them are fruits, and they can't be fried in winter, right?" , It's really disturbing."

"There is really no other way. We can only get the amount of grass delivered by sea when mid-spring arrives." At this time, Xue Dingshan thought of Xue Rengui and the Zheng He he was talking about. No wonder the emperor granted Zheng He the Marquis of Wanghai, and there was almost no special objection.

And I heard that Zheng He went to America, and if he succeeded in finding the potato, he would be crowned king.

Seeing the current situation of the Qin State, Xue Dingshan really didn't care if he crowned Zheng He, the eunuch whom he had never met before, as king. , enjoy the honor of his generation, and it will be over once he dies.

"So, if we can't fight now, we won't fight." Hu Sanniang said with some concern: "When we left Peicheng, His Majesty could only eat rice every day, and almost all the supplies were given to the frontline soldiers."

"Your Majesty is a good emperor. I also believe that under His Majesty's leadership, we will definitely build a huge empire. Thousands of years later, people will praise our empire!"

Xue Dingshan said from the bottom of his heart.

"Okay, how many times have I said it, it's not allowed, it's not allowed, how can a woman of unknown origin be the daughter-in-law of my Chang family?"

At this moment, there was a roar from outside the door, Xue Dingshan recognized Chang Yuchun's voice when he heard it, and the three of them came to the courtyard, just in time to see another room where Chang Yuchun was angry and pointed Chang Mao cursed loudly.

Chang Mao also looked angry, blushing and looking at his father with a thick neck: "I said it was her, it was her, I just want Zang'er, if my father disagrees, then I will eunuch myself and go to learn how to wait for the sea. !"

Upon hearing this, Xue Dingshan looked strange, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Deng Ai and his wife, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

"Haven't you heard?" Hu Sanniang looked into the room excitedly, as if to see if Chang Mao would eunuch herself.

"No?" Xue Dingshan was completely confused by Monk Zhang Er.

Deng Ai felt a little embarrassed, and pulled Hu Sanniang with one hand, and Hu Sanniang said, "Go back to the house first."

Back in the house again, Xue Dingshan vaguely heard Chang Yuchun yelling at Nizi or something, even though it was far away, Xue Dingshan could feel Chang Yuchun's anger.

"When Chang Mao and His Majesty went north to conquer Genghis Khan, they happened to meet a girl who had been bullied by the Huns in Tucheng. Seeing that girl was pitiful, Chang Mao made a promise that he would kill Genghis Khan and Meng with his own hands. The two brothers, father and son, will become the general of the empire, and then come back to fetch a girl, by the way, it is Zang'er you heard just now, that girl!" Hu Sanniang explained.

"What's the matter?" Xue Dingshan was a little puzzled. In this era, men did not have the very strict concept of chastity towards women. After raising children, didn't he still become the queen of a country in the end, and his son became the emperor?
Xue Dingshan said: "I remember Uncle Feng (Feng Sheng) rescued ten beautiful women from Wu Guang's army together, and later His Majesty the Emperor personally officiated the marriage, tsk tsk, those are ten beauties! Thinking about it, I feel envious !"

"Come on, you don't learn well at such a young age!" Hu Sanniang blushed, but turned her head and glared at her husband Deng Ai, and said angrily: "I tell you, if you marry me in this life, don't marry me." Thinking about taking a concubine, don't even think about it!"

"Sure... definitely... no... no... no!" Deng Ai promised.

"That's about the same!" Hu Sanniang's face was full of happiness, Xue Dingshan smiled, looked at Deng Ai and said, "Uncle Deng, I want to marry ten or eight wives, and you will marry me at that time!"

"Okay!" Deng Ai clapped his hands very neatly this time.

Hu Sanniang snorted, "Let's talk about it after your father agrees!"

"I want it!"

"What's wrong with Zang'er? I want Zang'er! Daddy, believe it or not, I'm going to sue His Majesty! His Majesty promised this thing back then!"

This time, both father and son made a fuss in the courtyard. Feng Sheng on the opposite side couldn't sit still, so he set up a small stool, put his feet on the threshold, and held a handful of melon seeds in his hand, becoming a melon-eating crowd. With a smile on his face, he shouted: "Let's hit it, it's better to kill him, such a disobedient son! I want a ball!"

Chang Yuchun completely ignored it, and slapped Chang Mao on the back of the head to greet him. Chang Mao was already injured, and after being slapped by his father, he immediately fell to the ground, humming and unable to get up .

When Xue Dingshan saw it, he immediately jumped out and shouted: "Uncle Chang, please be merciful. A few days ago, brother Mao saved my nephew under Xuan Ye's knife, and he was already seriously injured!"
