Chapter 673(1/2)
Life in Texas City was busy and peacefully in the confrontation with the Rui army.
Although the city gates are still martial law these days, they are no longer the state of lockdown. If the people want to leave the city, they can go out after being searched. It is more troublesome to enter the city. Five families need to jointly guarantee that they are not detailed works of the thief, or hold the letters and seals of the government.
Various fortifications were being built in full swing outside the city, but there was a quiet atmosphere inside the city.
In addition to fighting with the Swiss army, the most concerned thing now is that the Military Affairs Office wants to select people through exams.
There are many people who oppose it. Although the civil and military ministers who were selected were all those who were practical and practical as Wang Zhen, this fact is too unreliable.
Once this example is opened, if any powerful minister wants to control the government, he will also ask for a question to choose officials on his own, what will the world be like?
Of course, there is only a small city in the world, with at most a Pingyuan County. Even so, the King of Qi will revive the Great Chu in the future...
Song Xin and Song Li brothers kept a stand-by and watched the matter. A group of ministers who opposed the matter divided into two groups and ran to find Yao Wenhua and Bai Yizhang. When they were in Cangzhou City, the chief minister and the secondary assistant of the cabinet fled eastward. Now the official position of the King of Qi is the most prestigious one.
One of these two people is a relative of the Wang family and the other has a close relationship with the Wang family. Naturally, the ministers also know where they are doing. They come to find them just to put pressure on them.
Unexpectedly, when Yao Wenhua and Bai Yizhang heard this, they were also indignant. They slapped the table and cursed: "How dare Marquis Huaiyuan do what?! Please follow me to the palace to study his book!"
The two groups of officials did not know that the words of the two were exactly the same, but they knew it was not good at hearing it.
"My elder, if you want to object to this matter, how can you bring Huaiyuanhou Ming into it..."
"You are here to look for me, but now I am afraid of me? Others are afraid of him, but I am not afraid of him!"
Sure enough, when he arrived in front of King Qi, Yao Wenhua took the lead and said, "Why is Huaiyuan Marquis' intention? He first set up a military office and then held an imperial examination privately..."
"Who spread rumors about this matter is what Marquis Huaiyuan?" Zhou Yan's face darkened and he became unhappy. "This matter is Gu's proposition. Will you say that it is Huiyuan's idea in the future as long as Gu Yi has an edict in the future, and then slander it in every way?! Check carefully for Gu, who was secretly spreading rumors!"
The ministers shouted that they didn't dare, and looked at them secretly, and they felt a false feeling under the King of Qi's palace. Although they were angry, they felt a silly feeling, as if they were too lazy to talk to people like them, but they were just perfunctory.
But in short, when it comes to this point, most opponents have nothing to say.
Wang Xiao’s current power and means are here, and it is useless to oppose it. It is better to remain silent than to remain silent.
Some of them were more upright and persuaded Zhou Yan, but Zhou Yan did not reply and sent them to Pingyuan County.
The Military Affairs Office decided to take the exam so that it began to issue an announcement to allow people to register...
~~
However, Wang Xiao was no longer concerned about this matter. Since he had said that he had said to Xia Xiangwei, he began to prepare for something else.
For example, you can try to destroy Wu Tong's troops.
King Yan of Wu sent his eldest son Wu Tong to lead 50,000 people to attack Linqing City. According to Wang Xiao's judgment, the only ones who can really fight these 50,000 elite soldiers should be the ones who can fight for these 50,000 soldiers and horses with average combat power, and the rest should be miscellaneous soldiers used to transport food and grass.
Linqing City is located southwest of Dezhou and is also an important town along the canal and one of the four major warehouses.
The news came, and after Wu Tong led his army to surround Linqing, Linqing had surrendered. Now he should be preparing to transport the food to Mi Town.
As long as Wang Xiao could defeat him, the Rui army would only be in the north and east of Dezhou, and the room for movement would be much higher. However, the Rui army had no food and grass, so if they could not conquer Dezhou, they could only withdraw their troops...
This battle is rare not how to defeat Wu Tong, but how to prevent Tang Jie and Wu Yanwang from paying attention.
If the troops were sent here, Tang Jie took the opportunity to cover up the plane, the city of Dezhou was lost, the Chu army lost food and confidence, and now the better situation will instantly fall back to the trough.
Therefore, Qin Shanhai, Dong Jihe and Xia Xiangwei did not agree with Wang Xiao's proposal, thinking it was too risky.
"Although Tang Jie and King Yan of Wu dare not attack, they sent a large number of horses to keep an eye on our state, county and battalion. Once our army moves, they will get news that they will definitely come to attack Dezhou. Even if they defeat Wu Tong at that time, it will be more than worth the loss."
"The grain and grass in the Dezhou warehouse are more than Linqing, and the anti-army troops are more than us. The more we drag it down, the more we will be beneficial to us. Why should the teacher take a risk?"
Wang Xiao pondered: "The more you drag, the more you drag, the more you will be, but for our war with Tang Jie and King Wu Yan. For the overall trend, dragging on will be unfavorable for us. The anti-army will not retreat. The King of Qi has been trapped in Dezhou for a long time, and the father cannot show up. If he drags too much, the world will become more chaotic. Laizhou, Pi Island, Jinan... we must connect these places as soon as possible. To repel the anti-army, Wu Tong is the key. He is the weakest, but he has the most food and grass."
"But we can't hide the sight of Tang Jie and King Wu Yan..."
"Think about it again..."
~~
Wang Xiao walked out of the Military Affairs Office and felt completely clueless.
The situation looks pretty good now, but he has tried his best to support it.
These things are not simpler than when he was in Liaodong. He fought Jiannu in Liaodong. Although Jiannu's army was powerful, he had to consider how to carry out the greatest destruction. He only had to eat from the enemy, and the pressure on both sides was different.
But now, what we are doing is not only to repel the Swiss army, but also to worry about things from all sides.
"I can't think of a solution."
Until late at night, he raised his head from the map and sighed slowly.
Chunning also raised his head and said, "Your husband doesn't have to hurry up. Even if you are in this city of Texas, it's pretty good."
"It is impossible to extend the great Chu country's destiny in this Dezhou." Wang Xiao smiled bitterly.
"There are certain numbers of rise and fall. My husband has been working hard until now." Chunning stood up, folded the map, and said, "Stop."
The two of them were still lying down like that. Wang Xiao turned his head and saw Chunning covering his hands on his waist, lying straight, his eyes closed and his eyelashes were slightly bent, and his face was blown to pieces...
"She is really cute."
Thinking of this in his heart, Wang Xiao thought about why he didn't want to have sex with her... Well, I agreed with Qianqian at that time, but I almost forgot about it.
"I also have times when I keep my body as beautiful as jade..."
Life passes so quickly. In a blink of an eye, so long has passed and so many things have happened...
All kinds of things in my mind are not enough to concentrate on the important things...
It was the Night King who laughed and had a long dream...
~~
"Young Master won't go to handle official business today?"
"Well, don't go. The Chu prince-in-law is not allowed to interfere in politics."
Ying'er smiled and said with a smug look: "But the young master is very powerful. Everyone hopes that the young master can do a lot of things."
She and Qian Duoduo live in Chunning's yard.
This is what Chunning means, so there are naturally some excuses to the outside world. Nowadays, people are not able to say anything.
So the two little girls were able to see Wang Xiao every morning and evening, and were very happy and grateful for His Royal Highness the princess's generous arrangement.
Wang laughed early today and didn't want to alarm Chunning, so he ran to Ying'er's house.
Wang Xiao and Ying'er hugged on the bed and spoke softly. Qian Duoduo was not awake yet, and she was sleeping soundly while tired.
"Ying'er has made new friends now. Do you still remember your sister Qianqian?" Wang Xiao suddenly asked.
"Of course I remember, Ying'er misses her."
"Then how about I snatch her?"
Ying'er turned her head and asked, "Why do you want to grab it?"
"Because her father doesn't allow her to follow me."
"The young master is so good, why doesn't her father allow it?"
"Her father became a big official in the thief..."
Ying'er said, "The young master snatched Sister Qianqian and asked her father to be an official here."
"Even if it doesn't work."
Wang Xiao was slightly giggling.
Ying'er said it a little naive and simple, but he didn't want to think about things that were too complicated, so he leaned on it casually and peacefully.
After a while, Ying'er twisted gently and asked in a low voice: "Young Master, are you tired?"
She was held in Wang Xiao's arms and sat on her lap, and she was very worried that she would ruin her young master.
"Not tired." Wang Xiao closed his eyes and pressed it against her face, saying, "I used to be with you and I."
"That's different..."
Ying'er turned her head, her lips slid across the corner of his mouth, and the words in her mouth couldn't help but stop.
Wang Xiao felt her lips smooth and tender. When he looked at him, he saw the little girl with a red face, her bun was sleeping a little dispersed, her pajamas were white and greasy, and her bellyband was embroidered with a picture of mandarin ducks crossing her neck...
He turned his head a little and kissed Ying'er's lips...
The little girl blinked, as if she was a little scared, and was very embarrassed and surprised.
"Um~"
After a while, she gently pushed Wang Xiao.
"Young Master... it's early in the morning..."
"Don't Ying'er want to play with tangram?"
Wang Xiao asked in his ear, and Ying'er's face turned red.
"Duoduo...Duoduo is on the side..."
"We're quietly fighting...she can't find it."
Ying'er was extremely panicked and thought to herself how she couldn't find out.
To be continued...
