The Reborn Wife is Farming

The emperor was still hesitating. General Yuan and Qi Xiuyuan's pleading paper arrived. The emperor just turned it over and threw it aside. He saw that it was written before. What he wanted to know was what General Yuan and Qi Xiuyuan were thinking now.

And the two of them lived up to his expectations, within two days, the pigeons from both sides came, and General Yuan proposed to send troops, but Qi Xiuyuan proposed to defend the city.

The opinions of the two were not unified, and the emperor could still see General Yuan's eagerness and Qi Xiuyuan's caution from those two notes.

The emperor suddenly became in a good mood, and said with a smile: "General Yuan and Qi Xiuyuan sent troops together, but now it seems that they are not as harmonious as I thought." The emperor knocked on the table and ordered: "Let them shrink the battle line, Follow Qi Xiuyuan's wishes and defend the captured city, and don't send troops to the Kingdom of Jin again, as for their rewards and punishments, let's wait until the city is defended."

The servant serving the emperor was slightly surprised. He knew that the emperor wanted to send troops before, but at this moment, he suddenly made up his mind and looked very happy. With the emperor's character, shouldn't it be very sad?

However, although the emperor was gentle, he didn't dare to ask the questions in his heart, and just bowed and retreated.

The emperor was naturally in a good mood, and it was possible that General Yuan really wanted to take back his homeland when he went north, or maybe he wanted to expand his power, but no matter what, he didn't want to follow his wishes.

Two years ago, no, it should be said that it was three years ago, he had only 130,000 soldiers and horses, but once he sent troops to the Kingdom of Jin, and once again suppressed the rebellion, the number increased to 210,000. How much more manpower will be added.

The military power is not in his hands, how dare he let them grow bigger?

When Shen Mu knew that General Yuan sent a letter to Feige, who had gone to the emperor to invite the emperor, he could only stomp his feet and say, "Why are you so confused? We lost so many people before 200,000 troops, how could we recover when we were defending the city?" Continue to march north? What if the emperor listens to you and lets a large-scale army march? Didn’t you promise me to discuss it slowly?”

"Soldiers guarding the city can confiscate on the spot..."

Shen Mu glared at General Yuan sadly, "Do you want the emperor to chop you off? Two hundred thousand troops is enough for him to taboo, yet you still want to recruit troops?"

General Yuan suddenly fell silent.

"Alas—" Shen Mu sighed: "Forget it, the emperor may not agree to send troops. He has always liked to contradict you for the past few years. Maybe he rejected it because you suggested it."

General Yuan's face turned blue, "Is this worthy of your happiness?"

Shen Mu stiffened his neck and said, "It's better than watching you die." After speaking, he threw his sleeves and walked away.

While General Yuan and Qi Xiuyuan were waiting for the order from the Holy Majesty, they had gradually completed the frontier defense. When the imperial edict arrived, Qi Xiuyuan delegated the power to Jiang Ze and Mo Xiong, and brought a dozen guards back to Jingzhao Mansion.

The gentry and rich men of Jingzhao Mansion lined up to welcome him in Hangu Pass, which surprised Qi Xiuyuan a little. He looked at the gorgeous carriage in front and raised his eyebrows slightly. Rong Xuan took a step forward and said: " That is the head of the Li family in Chang'an County."

Qi Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Longxi Li family?"

Rong Xuan nodded with a smile, "Although the Li family was beaten to pieces, they still have some background. They are a well-known family in Chang'an. Although the Jin soldiers persecuted them a lot after they entered the pass, they never hurt their lives. It's been well preserved."

Qi Xiuyuan lost interest immediately, and he didn't feel the need to make friends with Jin people if he could live in harmony with them.

It has been 20 years since the Jingzhao Mansion left the Great Zhou Dynasty. In the past 20 years, their hands with little power have become even shorter.

But Qi Xiuyuan still dismounted with a peaceful face to meet them, and then refused the evening banquet.

He has to get up early tomorrow, how can he have time to drink with them?

Seeing Qi Xiuyuan leave, Li Jian also hugged everyone, turned around and got into the carriage to go home.

The butler hesitated and said, "Master, what does General Qi mean?"

"What's the point? Look down on those of us who are lingering under the hooves of the golden soldiers." Li Jianwei closed his eyes and said.

"Can't you? I see that he has great sympathy for ordinary people."

Li Jian twitched a mocking smile, "Naturally, I feel pity for ordinary people. They have no ability to resist. After suffering a lot, they have to surrender to the golden soldiers. Half of the country gentry and local tyrants are fine. They don't have much insight. , but our Li family is the Longxi Li family that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years. Even the Shu family, who was hanging on the tail of the family, risked their lives and escaped with the emperor, but we traded with Jin Guo and survived safely. us?"

Li Jian's eyes were full of sadness and pain, "Qi Xiuyuan is okay, although he doesn't like us in his heart, he never laughs at us, and other aristocratic families, I'm afraid..."

The butler's expression changed. Although Emperor Sejong had repeatedly suppressed the Han clan and used the Han clan since the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the noble clan still had an advantage over the Han clan. Will there still be a Longxi Li family?

Li Jian obviously thought of this too, but returning to the Great Zhou is much better than floating in the Kingdom of Jin.

There are a lot of school-age children in the family, and they can just get married.

"I heard that Qi Xiuyuan hasn't made any marriage arrangements either."

The housekeeper immediately understood, and said, "I'll start inquiring when I get back."

Li Jian was satisfied.

Qi Xiuyuan didn't know that he had thought so much after just meeting the opponent. He just briefly met with the generals in the army and asked them to guard the pass. He went back to Xingzhou Mansion and planned to move the base camp to Jingzhao Mansion.

He only planned to leave a battalion in Xingzhou Mansion to guard.

After thinking about the candidates, he said with a smile to Rong Xuan: "I plan to recruit soldiers again, expand the sixth battalion, and add manpower to the other five battalions."

Rong Xuan smiled and said, "Have you found a suitable general?"

"What do you think of Mu Shi?"

Rong Xuan was slightly taken aback, but it was reasonable. He nodded and said, "He has been running with Haoran for two years, and he has also gone through many battles. In addition to this battle of defending the city, he served as the sixth battalion. They won't have an opinion."

The most important thing is that the sixth battalion was built by Mu Shi, not by stealing people from the other five battalions, but Mu Shi's achievements are still a bit weak.

Qi Xiuyuan obviously thought of this, and sighed: "Although the credit is a little less, it can be accumulated in the future. We are in urgent need of employing people now, so we can make an exception."

Rong Xuan couldn't help laughing, "You just said that you are paving the way for Haoran, how can I still reprimand you?" Seeing Qi Xiuyuan blushing slightly, he sighed and said: "You are like this to Haoran's father-in-law, how can it be to your future father-in-law? Isn't it more filial?"

Qi Xiuyuan kicked him out with his legs.

Rong Xuan who jumped out of the room couldn't help laughing.
