After the errands in Wu County were completed, Xu You returned to Beijing, went to the palace to meet the emperor, reported the specific experience in Wu County, and gave a preliminary conclusion: the rice seeds in Chameng City are effective, and two ripenings in one season are likely to come true. When the harvest in Wu County is released next year, it can be promoted on a large scale.

The emperor was overjoyed and praised Xu You for being arrogant and doing everything personally. Judging from his attitude, he would also be promoted to Xu You again.

Xu Youke did not intend to follow the group of agricultural work in the branch for a long time, and tactfully expressed his idea of ​​retiring after success, gained the emperor's understanding, and then returned to the Ministry of Personnel to return the seal.

The reason why he came forward to take over the job of managing millet was to take advantage of the opportunity of promoting rice in the city to gain popularity among the people. Compared with opening up the territory, whoever lets the people eat enough can truly be remembered by the people and will never forget them.

Back in Changganli, he learned the latest battle report from Zhan Wenjun. The war in Badong County ended, Di Xia fought bloody battle for two days and nights and won a complete victory.

Tianshidao called himself the Changsheng Army and was called the Changsheng thief by the court. The one who was stationed in Badong County was Li Chunxing, one of the Ningzhou Zhizhengzhi, who was stationed in the wilderness of Ningzhou for many years. He was wild by nature and brave in fighting. He did not take the imperial army seriously at all. He gained the upper hand in the siege battle for two consecutive days. He was brave and chose to take the initiative at night. He wanted to achieve his contributions, but was lured into the ambush circle by Di Xia, who was prepared, and all the warships were destroyed and he died on the spot.

After the fall of Badong, Wushan County was followed by Jiang Ziyan. He led the Fengjie Army as the vanguard and conquered Wushan in only half a day. The Fengjie Army won the first battle.

In this battle, Jiang Ziyan led the way, willing to take advantage of the arrows and stones, and fought bravely and left a deep impression on all the participants, and was initially recognized by the Fengjie Army.

Wushan was defeated and the army approached Qutang Pass.

Qutang Pass is the most steepest section of waterway from the Yangtze River to Yizhou. It has Chijia Mountain on the north bank and Baiyan Mountain on the south bank and forms a gateway. Therefore, it is also called Kuimen. It has been a place that military strategists must fight for since ancient times.

Maling, bordering Chijia Mountain, has a majestic city, which is famous for Liu Bei's entrusted oneself. Du Fu has a poem that says "The city is steep and the wall of the sky, and the tower is high and looks at the wall of the girl." Baidi City is backed by Maling and Chijia Mountain, surrounded by the east and the east and the Yangtze River in the south. It is a solid fortress that "boats cannot cross, stone arrows cannot be added."

Di Xia attacked for five days and suffered heavy losses. Finally, Zhang Huai offered his plans to select 300 agile and climbing death-death men who were agile and good at climbing took advantage of the night to climb over Chijia Mountain, surrounded the back and attack Baidi City, and set fire to them. The navy stationed on the river was panicked and was defeated by the Chu army in a hurry.

After occupying Qutang Pass, the naval shipbuilding base set up in Yufu County of Tianshi Road became the main battlefield. The two sides broke out fierce water battles in Yufu, Dachang and Qu. Zhang Huai led the Pingjiang army to be invincible, and destroyed more than 80 warships of various types of Tianshi Road, completely destroying Tianshi Road's rule over the eastern part of Yizhou.

Yizhou's portal is open!

Northern Wei, Pingcheng.

Hundreds of horses galloped over, and the flying dust obscured the pedestrian's vision. They couldn't see the people on the horse's back. The pedestrian hurriedly hid beside the road, and there was a angrily angrily: "The official road is still so arrogant, I wonder whose children are they?"

"No matter whose children are, we can't afford them anyway. Ansheng hides and don't be hurt by the galloping horse. It's useless to die!"

"That's not what it said. The man who was hit and killed by His Highness the fifth day before yesterday was just that dead..."

Before he finished speaking, the horse had arrived. The man on his head looked like a fire, his eyebrows and eyes were like picturesque, and his heroic posture was not inferior to his beard. It was Yuan Mulan who returned to Beijing from Luoyang.

The few people who were chewing their mouths immediately stopped and knelt on both sides of the road, with their foreheads close to the ground. They dared to discuss the prince and criticize the prince. The nobles of the eight surnames were even more talked about after dinner, but they were intimately respectful of this girl who had been leading the army for the sake of the empire for many years.

After entering the inner city, Yuan Mulan did not stop and went straight to the palace. When she saw the Wei Lord Yuan Yu, she first reported the situation in Luoyang, and then handed over Yuan Guang's memorial.

Yuan Yu opened it and looked a little unhesitant in his eyes. He pondered for a moment, and said lightly: "You have fought hard and finally reversed the battle situation in Luoyang. He worked tirelessly, intending to attack the Mahayana and share the worries of the country. My father was very happy. However, the Mahayana religion was full of confusion and was very involved. You don't have to go back to your home and have a good rest. The Great Wei cannot rely solely on women to stabilize the country and make peace..."

This was said to Yuan Mulan openly, but in fact he expressed dissatisfaction with Yuan Guang's intervention. Yuan Mulan knew Yuan Yu's temperament very well. Now that he dared to resist the order, he really walked the road to the end. He had to slowly draw him down and thanked Tianxiang. He was about to get up and leave, Yuan Yu suddenly said, "Go and see the queen. She has been thinking about you recently..."

Yuan Mulan squeezed her hands slightly and then let go. Her face was not abnormal, and she said, "Yes!"

The two people who met Feng Qing were as good as the wax. They never met each other and had to play the role of a mother, a filial daughter, and to show everyone. After greeting her health and return safely, Feng Qing'er directly told her plans, wanting to recruit Gao Yuan, the general of Wudu Town, as the son-in-law. Ruoyuan Mulan had no objection and could ask Zongzheng Temple to start arranging the marriage.

Yuan Mulan said: "Mother, the country is in troubled times, with frequent wars and people hungry and cold. If a daughter gets married, it will inevitably cost a lot. It is not a good deed for the country or the people... It is better to wait until the Mahayana religion is pacified before discussing this matter..."

Feng Qing smiled and said, "What is this? The Great Wei has been the kingdom for a hundred years. Can a few monks make trouble? Besides, the emperor's family spends money from the inner palace, and you know that the Feng family is rich. How can the family be related to the life and death of the common people? Bah, bah, bah, how can these deaths and deaths be so unlucky, you can hear the mother's queen. Although Gao Yuan has a wife, I have seen that woman, she is a village woman with fat intestines. As long as you nod, Gao Yuan will immediately leave her. In the future, she will be together and love, will not be more comfortable than your whole day fighting on the battlefield?"

Yuan Mulan sneered secretly, but she knew that she could not break up now, because Feng Qing was most favored by Yuan Yu, and offended her, and offended the emperor. If Feng Qing was deceived and issued an order to marry, she would either flee from Wei State or obey her marriage, and there would be no other way to go.

"My mother, after all, it is a lifelong event for my daughter. I just returned to Beijing from Luoyang and didn't have time to change my clothes. I also asked my mother to allow me to return home for a few days before making a decision..."

Feng Qing was unwilling to force him too much. Yuan Mulan did not refuse on the spot, which meant that she was very hopeful. She smiled and said, "Okay, I'm impatient. Come on, bring the croaker that the prince sent yesterday to Princess Xiurong..."

Flyfish is commonly known as mullet. First make salty soup, use ginger and pepper powder to fill the fish's mouth, then use a bamboo stick to penetrate the eyes, and hang the fish's mouth upwards under the northern eaves of the house. By February of the following year, it will become dried fish.

When eating, the five internal organs in the fish's belly are raw and soaked with sour vinegar. The taste is beautiful. The fish body is wrapped with grass and beaten with wood. After lightly pounding, the meat is as white as snow, and the flavor is unparalleled. It is extremely precious after eating and drinking.

"Thank you, Queen Mother!"

After leaving the palace and returning to Princess Xiurong's mansion, Yuan Mulan washed up a little and waved her hand. Qiu Liusong came closer and waited for instructions.

"Take my famous post and go to the building to get rid of disease."

"Princess, General Lou was ordered by the Lord to stay in the door and think about his mistakes, I am afraid he will not be able to come out..."

"Just send it, he will come out."

"yes!"

As soon as the sky was approaching, Lou Fuji appeared in the princess's mansion. He was exhausted and his eyes were blind. It was obvious that he had been accused of colluding with the enemy during this period.

"See the princess!"

"Sit down!"

Yuan Mulan asked him to meet in the backyard, put on wine and food, and smiled and said, "How is it like being slandered?"

Lou Quji shook his head and sighed: "It's hard to describe it!"

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether you are colluding with the enemy now. What's important is that Gao Teng wants to kill you to establish his authority..."

Gao Teng and the Lou family have no grudges, so why do they have to kill Lou to get rid of their illness?

Yuan Mulan still had no meaning to say it thoroughly. Gao Teng was the emperor's slave and a typical political speculator. His every move was all in line with the emperor's thoughts.

Due to the influence of the tribal system, the Xianbei nobles were powerful and had formed effective checks and balances over the years. Yuan Yu wasted his actions and wasted his time in court discussions to make all parties reach compromises even more than the time for decision-making and execution. He had long been determined to change the status quo, so he overwhelmed defeated Rou and ignored any opposition, and promoted the sinicization with Cui Boyu as the core, in order to gradually deprive the Xianbei nobles of their power to control the government.

In view of this, Gao Teng seized the opportunity and pursued Lou Juji to show his loyalty to Yuanyu, which was precisely because the benefits contained in it were far greater than the risks.

The one who scolded the Lou was Mu Fan, who was also the eight Xianbei surnames. The two major surnames bite the dog and Gao Teng took the lizard from the fire. Of course, it may offend the Lou family, but as long as they sow the relationship between the two nobles and win Yuanyu's favor, it would be no problem.

"Gao Teng!"

Lou Quji held the wine glass, his eyes shining fiercely, and said, "I must kill this eunuch!"

"It's not easy to kill Gao Teng!"

Yuan Mulan shook her wine glass gently and said, "What are you going to do?"

"Gao Teng often leaves the palace..."

"Did you find out that he likes to have wine in a wine shop by the Dongxi River recently? There are no more than twenty entourages around him, so he wants to disguise himself and wait for an opportunity to assassinate..."

"Ah?" Lou Quji said in shock: "How do the princess know?"

Yuan Mulan said coldly: "Gao Teng is an in-depth official, not the drunkards in the wine shop who only know how to drink and find women. His travel safety has always been the responsibility of the Neihou Officer. It is also at this critical moment. With the cultivation of your fifth-grade master, you dare to be lawless and assassinate?"

Lou Quji still couldn't believe how Yuan Mulan knew his plan and said, "Princess, I haven't told anyone about this..."

"During the time you were staying at home, you were drunk five times, two of which shouted to the maid beside you to kill Gao Teng Xuehen. Then, you secretly sent someone to contact Yan Pingjiu and asked him to use the golfer inside and outside the capital to find out Gao Teng's whereabouts. You thought you were secretly doing things and no one knew about it, but in fact, the Neihou Officer knew everything about you. If you really dared to get into the wine shop and assassinate, not to mention that you could not get out, you would also implicate Lou..."
