Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

All of a sudden, the military complained more and more about Wang Ting, and apart from that, they were also very dissatisfied with the fact that the families behind him still did not help.

It's almost time.

On this day, Wuheya called her lieutenant.The lieutenant was also a general from a family on the border. Because he had opposed the Tuva king's harassment strategy in the court before, he was relegated to the border as a lieutenant.Moreover, because of his stable command style, which is not suitable for the mainstream style of play of the Thralls, even in the borderlands, he is rarely valued.

However, during the period of fighting with Wuheya, Wuheya often gave him the work of the main attacking force.

"Your Highness, what are your orders?"

"General Ulan, have you heard the rumors circulating in the army?"

"You mean the royal court didn't give us food and grass?"

"Yes."

"Your Highness, I dare not comment on the affairs of the royal court." General Ulan said with a wry smile.

Before, because he couldn't understand the harassment strategy that was easy to cause backlash, General Ulan had evaluated the inappropriateness of King Tuva's strategy, and then he was demoted here.Now he doesn't dare to talk nonsense.

"If you don't want to say it, don't say it. But, I can only tell you about this matter-the royal court did not send us food and grass. Before the attack started, they said they would give us support. But they didn't Mobilize the rear, until now, after such a long time, there is still no letter of grain and grass."

"Your Highness, this subordinate thinks that we can't continue stationing like this now. The three cities are empty cities, which means that Daxia definitely knows our offensive ideas like the back of the hand. There must be traitors in the royal court who are leaking information. Then, we can't stand up now. The enemy already knows our location and current situation, once the enemy launches an attack, the consequences for us will be unimaginable, not to mention that we didn’t get the city in the end, maybe all the soldiers will die in these three cities.”

Chapter 74 Rewards

What Wuheya waited for was his words.

Now it's almost time to leave. If you don't leave, the soldiers under your hands will not be able to eat, and may even mutiny.At present, there is still some food and grass, and it can be maintained for a while, but it may not be certain for a long time.

However, on the one hand, this trip was to deal with Ban Ge's order, and on the other hand, it was also to gain prestige on the border. Now that the three cities of the enemy had been captured, the remaining means should be used.

"General Wulan, on the day I occupied the first city, I spent some money to buy cattle and sheep from the nearby tribes, and put them there waiting to be picked up. After a while, you can find a few people to go over and take the cattle and sheep I bought. Bring the cattle and sheep here, and find a few cooks in the tribe. If you want better craftsmanship, I will pay for it. Also, buy more wine. You must not be able to buy wine near these three cities. No, we still have to send a few people to the tribes in the north with a carriage to exchange, milk wine, fruit wine and rice wine are all fine.”

"Your Highness, what is this?"

"We have fought three cities, and everyone has worked very hard. Since the royal court will not give us food and rewards, then I can only reward them myself." Wuheya smiled, and took out the clothes from her arms. A bag full of coins, "Take it, I remember that most of the tribes around here recognize Xia's gold and silver coins."

"...On behalf of the soldiers, I thank Your Highness for your kindness."

"Go and try to come back tomorrow morning."

General Wulan was in charge of sending people to buy food and wine, while Wuheya cheerfully poured herself a glass of milk wine, and took a sip happily.

Running an army is actually not too difficult, there are clear rewards and punishments, and you just need to know some favors, but the premise of all this is that you have the ability to stand up to the prestige, if you can't stand up to the prestige, favors are of little use.

After drinking her milk wine, looking at the field outside the city tower, Wuheya already had a plan in mind.

Looking south from this city tower is the territory of Daxia, where the ancestors of Daxia cut down the forest, transported earth and rocks, and built a road through the forest with carts and rams.

Looking north from this city tower, the territory of the Kingdom of Saar is full of rough and uneven dirt roads that only people can barely walk for a long time. When it rains, it is too muddy to walk on.

The border area is an important area for exchanges and trade between the country and the border cities of Daxia. If I really have the opportunity to make great achievements in my own country in the future, then this will definitely become an important area for foreign exchanges. Therefore, Wuheya incidentally Then after occupying the city, he took a look around the surrounding environment, and wrote down the suitable places for road construction in his small notebook for future use.

Holding up the wine glass she found from the tower, Wuheya looked at the night. In the south, there might be thousands of lights, but in the north, it was desolate.

She also hopes that the lights of thousands of families in Daxia will be able to light up in her own country in the future.

..........................

At noon the next day, the soldiers responsible for buying food and wine from nearby tribes returned.

As soon as these people came back, they were surrounded by all the soldiers.The soldiers who have been exhausted for so many days but do not have enough good food have long since faded out of their mouths.What's more, it is now rumored in the army that the royal court did not allocate food to them at all, which makes these soldiers feel even more chilled.

But now, watching their comrades bring back a fat sheep and a strong cow from the outside, as well as a large altar of wine, and someone specially brought all kinds of seasonings, this made them extremely excited .

"Hey, let me tell you, General, what happened today? You got so many cattle and sheep back? Did you get rich?"

Several soldiers scrambled to ask General Ulan.

"This, this is what Her Royal Highness Princess personally spent to reward us."

"What? Your Highness rewarded us? So much? Turtle, how much does it cost?"

The Saar people also have currency inside, but most of the border areas recognize Daxia's currency more, because compared with the constantly changing currency system of the royal court, Daxia's currency system is quite stable, and Daxia also has enough output to ensure Its currency can be used to exchange various materials of Daxia.And these cattle and sheep, although the price of buying these cattle and sheep at the Saar people's own home is definitely cheaper than that of Daxia, it does not mean that they are the price of cabbage.

Coupled with those wines, the money spent can be imagined.

"You don't have to think about it. These are all to improve the food for everyone tonight. No, we have hired a cook."

The soldiers leading the cattle and sheep straightened their chests, as if they had become lucky stars that brought hope to their comrades.

There were endless shouts of excitement, and everyone was chattering about how to eat the meat at night. At this moment, Wuheya came out:

"What are you calling?"

Seeing her coming out, the soldiers immediately fell silent. During the time following Wuheya, they also saw the true face of the so-called "Princess of the Vase", so they all restrained themselves a little.

"Oh, Your Highness, they were a little excited when they saw these cattle and sheep just now. After all, food is becoming more and more scarce now..."

General Ulan hurriedly said beside him.

"Bring something to eat, and you're just arguing like this? After that, the enemy will just set up food, wine, and food. Are you going to join the enemy directly?" Wu Heya glanced at the soldiers.

No one dared to speak.

"Do your own thing well. If you are a soldier, you should act like a soldier. What kind of twittering does it sound like?" After she finished speaking, she turned to look at General Wulan, "Arrange the sentry for the evening, and the sentry will be in rotation tonight. Those who are on duty and those who are not on duty can come to the banquet. Those cooks are too busy to do so much work, so pick a few people to help the cook slaughter cattle and sheep."

"Yes."

After explaining this, Wuheya turned and left.

"Your Highness is really a bit cold on the outside and hot on the inside."

Looking at her back, a soldier sighed.

"Hiss, what do you mean?"

"That's the literal meaning. Hey, look at Wang Ting again. He said so beautifully, but in the end he didn't even give him food."

"No, what is this called? Let the horse run and let the horse not eat grass."

"really."

"Hey, you said that His Highness is so beautiful, kind and capable, who will be cheaper in the future?"

"...Why, you can't bear it, kid?" The old soldier next to him gave him a smirk and elbowed him.

"A little bit."

"...Your Highness, she is a member of the royal family. You'd better not say that, and don't splash my blood hahaha."

.......................

Night, banquet.

In fact, it is a banquet, but it is not as exquisite and beautiful as Daxia's banquet. Even if a cook is invited, it is nothing more than turning barbecue and stew into more delicious barbecue and stew.There are also a few Saar people's own special stir-fries.Then there is milk tea and various fine wines.

Wuheya sat on top, looking at the soldiers with their wine glasses filled.

She picked up the wine glass, faced their eyes, and said her own words:

"Soldiers, today our army won three cities, which is inseparable from your bravery. Since I was ordered by the royal court to defend the border, thanks to the help of everyone, I have prepared wine, meat, vegetables and fruits for everyone. Thank you for respecting me and respecting me. , Second, it is also to celebrate our military exploits."

"As soon as tonight is over, we will start to return to the country tomorrow. I know that some people are unwilling, but for the sake of your safety, we can't continue to fight this battle. We won this battle, And it’s a great victory, so today’s banquet is a celebration banquet, so what if the royal court doesn’t give you a celebration, I’ll celebrate it for you, and salute our warriors of Thrall who are always victorious and evergreen!”

After saying this, Wuheya raised her neck and drank the big glass of wine.

Chapter 75 Wedding Eve

His Majesty the Emperor is going to hold a wedding with the Taiwei, and this news spread quickly in the streets and alleys of Daxia, whether it is the people of Tai'an City, the subjects of the counties and counties in Daxia, or even many countries abroad. this matter.

For Da Xia, the importance of the emperor's wedding is self-evident, and for the surrounding countries and even the vast majority of human countries in this world, it is also a rare event worth talking about.

Among human countries, most of the countries around Great Xia have long-term and in-depth contacts with it. Therefore, after learning of the news, the surrounding countries and vassal countries have dispatched domestic dignitaries to attend the wedding and bring Congratulations.

Some countries even directly sent the king/emperor here, in order to show respect for Great Xia.

In the church countries in the west, although most of the countries under the influence of the church did not send people to celebrate, they still entrusted envoys to pass on the blessings for the wedding.

The few countries that sent people over were all countries that had a certain degree of cooperation with Xia Guo. Among them, the attitude of the Weixi Empire was unexpected.

His Majesty the emperor who maintained the empire showed a lot of interest in this wedding. Not only did he send someone to send a congratulatory gift in advance, but he also specially announced that he would take this opportunity to visit the Kingdom of Xia and further promote the exchanges between the two countries. advance.

Naturally, Xia Yuxiao would not refuse such a request. There was not enough time left for Daxia, and she needed to unite possible forces as soon as possible.The background of the Weixi Empire itself is enough to make both sides mutually beneficial and win-win. It is impossible for her to refuse such a thing.

And after all countries expressed their views one after another, even the blood clan made it clear that they would send people to celebrate. The rest of everyone's attention was on the church.

The attitude of the church represents the attitude of the Western countries towards the Great Xia in the future, and it also largely symbolizes the relationship between the East and the West for a long time to come.

After other countries have made what they think are basically impeccable handling methods, the church's decision is particularly noticeable.

Unexpectedly, as time progressed, the church finally did not choose to deal with it coldly, but wrote a congratulatory letter by itself, and at the same time sent an archbishop to bring a gift to celebrate.

Although the Pope didn't send enough important people as guests, and the letter only said some polite blessings, at least he did his best on the surface.

These days, Qin Ji and Xia Yuxiao have been very busy. They have to manage the government affairs of the court, and at the same time they have to deal with envoys and representatives from various countries who came to celebrate. Who to invite, how to invite, etc.

The emperor's wedding is so cumbersome. Some people are not easy to invite, and some people are just the opposite. How should each guest be entertained and whether they should meet in person... These are very troublesome question.

Therefore, the two of them basically lived in the same room these days, but they were too busy to have any weird thoughts in their minds.

"Phew, I'm exhausted..."

Qin Ji let out a long sigh, and quickly lay down on the bed to rest for a while.

He also needs to keep an eye on the affairs in the northern border, and he has to deal with Xia Yuxiao's wedding affairs together, as well as other government affairs, in short, he is very busy.

"Take a rest first. You have worked hard these days, but don't worry, it will be much easier after the wedding is over."

Xia Yuxiao bowed her head on the table next to her and instructed the various departments on the wedding arrangement plan, and said at the same time.

"You are really not sleepy." Qin Ji smiled wryly.

Obviously her physique is much weaker, but Xia Yuxiao has always been able to work with such high intensity. Among the emperors of Great Xia, there are only a few who are as diligent as her.

"I'm also human, how can I not be sleepy." Xia Yuxiao said, putting aside the written instructions in her hand, "It's just that something is urging me..."

When she said this, she was stimulated by the cold air at night and shivered all over her body.

"After the wedding, Qin Ji, I will show you what you wanted to see before, but I can't do it now." When she said this, she glanced at Qin Ji's expression, "Also, during this time of Siyue It seems that she has always been interested in the internal affairs of the royal family. Not long ago, she asked me to borrow a lot of documents from the past dynasties, and those that were not particularly important, I also lent them to her. She is a good child."

"Siyue is sometimes whimsical and likes to learn all kinds of knowledge, so she bothers you a lot. To be honest, I am willing to be loyal to Daxia all the time. In fact, it is mainly because of Siyue."

Qin Ji lay on the bed, looking at the delicate ceiling above his head.
