Chapter 189: Go to war

The place Lei Tie took Qin Mian to was not a special place, but within three days, the two of them had visited almost all the places worth visiting in the capital. Various snacks such as stove boil, pea yellow, sugar fire, Ai Wo Wo, fried red fruit, noodle tea, small hanging pear soup, mochi tofu, laugh, kidney bean roll, candied date lotus leaf folder, toad spit honey, yam cake, glass powder, sugar roll fruit...almost eat it all.

Qin Mian has a feeling of honeymoon again.

Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin came back from school every day and saw the different kinds of snacks at home. They knew that the old man brought them to buy from the outside. They were so greedy that they wanted to go, but Qin Mian couldn't take them away again. of. When the children are older, he and Lei Tie should live a life of two.

Three days later, Lei Tie became busy, often returning home after dark.

Qin Mian took time to enter the space. He planned to catch a eagle for Lei Tie and let him take it to Xiguan. The eagle has keen vision, fierce sex, fast and long-lasting flight, even if it is only used to deliver letters.

It is not difficult to catch an eagle in space. Qin Mian finally caught a golden eagle on a high mountain. It is five feet long and can reach more than eight feet when its wings are deployed. He didn't dare to grasp the size of too large, it is difficult to explain to the outside.

He pretended to take a few family members to go hunting in the deep mountains, and brought back the golden eagle two days later. The generals saw that the golden eagle was shot down by him, so they didn't have any suspicion.

He gave the golden eagle to Lei Tie. Lei Tie liked it very much. After a few days of pretending training, he injected a beast control talisman into the golden eagle, and the golden eagle admitted that he was the master, respectful and sensitive.

In recent days, the people in the capital have been familiar with the various behaviors of the Zhen Guo Gong couple in showing their love. Therefore, it is not surprising to see the golden eagle sending Lei Tie to the court for the first time.

After that, Qin Mian was also busy, refining batches of first-class healing medicine in the space.

Half a month later, a large number of officers and soldiers left the capital in the dark, escorting grain and grass to the west. There is a saying in the art of war: before the soldiers and horses move, the grain and grass go first. Grain and grass include not only grain and forage, but also military supplies such as salt, spices, herbs, weapons, and tents.

After another half month, an astonishing news came back from the border: for the peace of Daxia and Tuluo, Princess Yan Qing, who took the initiative to go to Tuluo and her relatives, was brutally murdered in Tuluo by the ruthless people of Tuluo. The Shuangxiong Village is about twenty miles away from Xiguan of Daxia Country!

Emperor Xiaohui had heard the sad news about the tragic death of his daughter, and he was distraught with a serious illness and failed to go to court for three consecutive days.

The people were full of indignation, recalling the scene when Princess Yan Qing waved at them cordially on the day of her marriage. Her hatred of Tulu was even stronger. They hoped that the court could teach the unrepentant Tulu people a terrible lesson.

Emperor Xiaohui got sick and went to court, and named Princess Yan Qing as Princess Yan Qing Shangshan, condemning Tuluo State for trampling on the sincerity of Daxia Kingdom and their repairs, the sin is unforgivable, and issued a will to attack Tuluo Kingdom. This move is not only to seek justice for the princess Yan Qing who understands the righteousness, but also to thoroughly combat the arrogance of Tulu. In the past several disputes between Tuluo Kingdom and Daxia Kingdom told them that tolerance to the enemy would only be exchanged for even more cruel revenge.

In the early morning of the next day, General Lei Tianren led the army of 100,000 as the vanguard, with His Royal Highness as the supervising army, marching north; Dingnan General Yuan Gang led the army of 40,000.

Qin Mian led Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin on the wall, and watched Lei Tie disappear at the end of the official road.

As soon as Lei Tie left, his heart was also empty.

"Daddy?" Qin Ruiqi was worried, holding his father's hand.

Qin Mian returned to his senses and smiled at him, "It's okay, but this is the first time your father has been away for so long." Even if Lei Tie went to Xiguan and started the war, it only takes two days to win the battle, and it will take more time. It will take two months to come back. What's more, the Turuo people are cruel and insidious, and once the war between Daxia and Turuo starts, it cannot end too soon.

Lei Ruilin held his father's other hand and said firmly: "Daddy, I will definitely come back from the battle!"

"Yeah." Qin Mian nodded with a smile, "Let's go back."

When he returned to the government office of Zhenguo, he asked his subordinates to send his two sons to Dongyang Academy, sitting alone in the study and thinking. Ancient wars mostly occurred in the spring, autumn and winter. One of the important reasons is that the corpses on the battlefield can not be disposed of in time because of the hot summer. The decay of the corpses can easily lead to a large-scale plague. The ancient plague is the most difficult to control. Once the plague breaks out, it will not benefit both parties in the war.

Even if Qin Mian is not particularly good at and understands politics, he can infer that the reason why Emperor Xiaohui let the army go out immediately after Princess Yan Qing was killed was just to show his "passive" position in this war. Lei Tie arrived in Xiguan. The possibility of fighting immediately afterwards is very low, and most of them have to wait until the weather gets colder. This means that the imperial court will spend no less on military resources.

Since Emperor Xiaohui dared to initiate a war, the court must have sufficient military expenditure. However, his family man is the coach in this battle. If Qin Mian wants him to come back earlier, he has to consider all aspects for him. The first thing he considers is to prepare more military expenditures, just in case. However, this matter is not in a hurry, not yet in time.

After Lei Tie arrived at Xiguan, he immediately found a chance to enter the space, met with Qin Mian, and exchanged recent information. The people of Tuluo Kingdom learned that the Emperor of Daxia Kingdom wanted to avenge Princess Yan Qing, and immediately sent troops to the border. Today, the two armies have a total of nearly two hundred thousand confrontation in Xiguan. Lei Tie took the initiative to launch a tentative small-scale war on the second day after the army rested and won. Because both sides were concerned about the plague, they did not go to war again, but confronted each other. If nothing happens, as soon as September enters, he will launch a large-scale attack.

Qin Mian told him that the sword has no eyes, so be careful.

In September, 800 miles were rushed into the capital, and the Great Xia Kingdom and the Turuo Kingdom officially went to war.

Qin Mian also took action. His identity as the "Mrs. Fuming" seemed a bit embarrassing at this time. Because he was not allowed to do politics, he couldn't directly talk to Emperor Xiaohui if he had any ideas; but the queen was a woman, so he should pay attention to men and women. After much deliberation, he still handed the memorial to the queen. If it caught the empress's attention, the queen would transfer the memorial to Emperor Xiaohui.

On the second day after the memorial was handed over, the emperor's dictum came from the palace, admiring Qin Mian's suggestion of officials and Jingshang to donate money. In less than half an hour, the queen's verbal order arrived again, and three days later, she would entertain the women in the royal garden.

The theme of the Queen's banquet was fundraising.

The women were reluctant in their hearts, but after the queen took the lead in donating one thousand taels of silver, they had to unburden one after another, ranging from six hundred taels to eight hundred taels. The concubines were unwilling to show weakness, ranging from as little as one hundred taels to as many as nine hundred taels. , As long as it does not exceed the queen. The queen mother donated 1,000 taels, and even Duan Ning Gong also donated 600 taels of silver.

Qin Mian is a Zhengyipin and donated 800 taels of silver.

After the ladies had donated money, the queen laughed and said that how much they donated will be recorded on the gold list and posted on the city gate to announce the world.

This is a kind deed, which not only brings a good reputation to one's own mate, but also benefits one's own children. The ladies all smiled and felt that the previous donation was less and quickly added a few hundred taels.

Upon hearing this, Kyocera also made donations.

In this fundraising, a total of nearly five million taels of silver were raised...

Because Lei Tie would enter the space to meet Qin Mian whenever he had a chance, Qin Mian was not very worried about Lei Tie's battle at a distance of tens of thousands of miles. But Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin couldn't see Lei Tie. Every few days, the father and son three would write a letter to Lei Tie together and take them to the official post to Xiguan.

Xiguan, the war was raging.

Lei Tie, dressed in a battle robe, stood on the wall with his hands down, looking at the enemy camp less than five miles away.

Lei Qin Zhong ran over quickly, took out a letter from his arms, and handed it over.

"Master, madam's letter."

Lei Tie looked at the two small handprints on the letter, the condensed aura disappeared, and a faint warmth floated in his eyes. These two small handprints came from the two seals he carved out on the full moon of Ruiqi and Ruilin using the hands of Ruiqi and Ruilin as molds. Wife said they were "commemorative seals."

The eldest prince Chen Chuang just came up and was secretly surprised when he saw his expression change. Seeing Lei Tie open the letter, he didn't walk over immediately, and the gaze that fell on Lei Tie's back was a bit deep and a little dazed.

Lei Tie read the letter carefully. The first page was written by Wife, the second page was written by the elder son, and the third page was written by the younger son.

In addition to letting him take care of himself, the letter is also a trivial matter, and he still takes it seriously.

Ten years ago, it was here too. He was fighting like a lone wolf among the enemy army, and he could only watch others read home books.

After reading the letter three times from beginning to end, he folded it again, treasured it into his arms, and looked at Chen Chuang lightly.

Chen Chuang returned to his mind and walked over.

"His Royal Highness." Lei Tie clasped his fists.

"The general exempts the ceremony." Chen Chuang stood beside him, smiling. "The general just now must be reading the family book? The general and his wife have a deep affection, which is really enviable."
