Chapter 1208 Something happened again
Chen Chu asked someone to stop Xiao Hui, who was still running stupidly, and brought him back. Su Su hit Xiao Hui's forehead and pouted his mouth and complained. Xiao Hui hugged his head and screamed, lying at Su Su's feet, looking very honest and funny.
Chen Chu couldn't help laughing, and the wives couldn't help but smile. The other little guys rubbed towards Xiao Hui excitedly.
Chen Chu asked the guards to bring a few good horses from the palace, match the bridles when pulling the cart, and then connect a few sleds, then after these sleds, and then pick up a dozen sleds, thus rushing to the dozen sleds.
"Okay! Now it's fun!" Chen Chu laughed. Su Su cheered and jumped onto the first sled, looking eager to try.
Chen Chu shook his head with a smile, sat down on the sled where Su Su was, and carried Su Su into his arms. "Wild girl, don't move around!" Su Su nodded obediently and smiled at Chen Chu.
Chen Chu turned his head and said to the beautiful wives: "You all come up with your children! Let's have fun together!"
Chen Chu's group of beautiful wives nodded excitedly, and then took their children to board the sled.
With Chen Chu's order, the iron guard in charge of controlling the horse carefully drove the war horses, and immediately a long sled sled began to slide on the snow. Su Su cheered in Chen Chu's arms, and then she thought that her father was behind her, and hurriedly sat down honestly and looked back carefully at her father. She saw that her father was looking at him with a funny face, rest assured, and grinned at Chen Chu. The other children couldn't help but cheer, all of them were very happy. Chen Chu's wives were also very happy.
After playing in the snow for a whole afternoon, the children and the likes of Su Su were still unsatisfied.
That night, in Fengde Palace.
Chen Chu sat on the couch, with a short table in front of him, and a stack of cabinets and memorials presented by six ministries on the short table. Although many things are decided by the cabinet now, some major matters must be decided by Chen Chu, and the reports from various departments are also something Chen Chu must read. The exquisite lanterns stand on the corner of the short table, and the lights shake gently on Chen Chu's face. Zhang Rui lay on her back beside Chen Chu, and was already asleep, with a sweet smile on her beautiful face.
Chen Chu put down the memorial presented by the Ministry of Rites in his hand and rubbed the corners of his eyes. He looked back at the quiet Rui'er and couldn't help but show a warm smile.
Chen Chu turned around and picked up the memorial presented by the Ministry of Commerce. A familiar and refreshing fragrance penetrated into Chen Chu's nose. A graceful figure immediately appeared in his mind. Chen Chu couldn't help but smile.
Open the memorial and read it. This year, the commercial development of the Qin Empire can be described as the word explosion. The empire's income from business has exceeded half of the empire's income, of which overseas trade accounts for nearly half of all trade income. It can be seen how huge the business income from the westward journey is! If all taxes are collected this year, the empire's treasury will increase to 130 million taels of silver! This is a very huge number!
Chen Chu couldn't help but smile with relief, and felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment in his heart.
Then Chen Chu read the memorial of the Ministry of Agriculture. The Ministry of Agriculture can be said to be newly established by Chen Chu. The original farming was just one of the responsibilities of local officials. Now agriculture is a special matter of the court, and the local officials in charge of agriculture directly belonged to the Ministry of Agriculture. This year, the Qin Empire was in good weather and achieved unprecedented harvests in various places. It is expected that the court can obtain more than 10 million dan of grain from various places, and the reserves of the treasury in various places will increase to 30 million shi.
Chen Chu put down the memorial in his hand and was in a particularly good mood.
Carefully got off the bed and covered Zhang Rui with bedding. Chen Chu came outside. Looking at the silver-covered under the moonlight, Chen Chu wanted to shout.
Half a month later, a carrier pigeon dyed red feathers flew from the west into a peaceful Luoyang.
An emergency report was handed to Chen Chu.
After seeing it, Chen Chu was shocked and immediately ordered all the cabinet ministers to go to Linde Hall to discuss matters.
The four left-behind cabinet ministers rushed to Linde Hall. As soon as they came in, Zhou Yu clasped his fists and asked, "Your Majesty, something urgent happened."
Chen Chu nodded and asked Cui Ying to circulate the letter from the desk.
After reading the letter, the four of them were shocked. "Your Majesty, why did this happen suddenly? Zhuo Yifan and others did not find any signs in advance?" Sima Fang said very unexpectedly.
Chen Chu shook his head and frowned and said, "You can't blame Zhuo Yifan! Such a thing is difficult to avoid!"
"This matter must be inseparable from the Ross people!" Lu Su frowned.
Chen Chu nodded and sneered: "This is very obvious! Two beautiful Ross girls sent by the Ross people assassinated Yuezes while serving in bed! It seems that they have reached a secret agreement with Yueduo!"
"As soon as Yuezes dies, there will be no suspense in the situation in Kushan!" Zhuge Liang frowned.
Chen Chu narrowed his eyes, "I won't let Rose and Yue Duo succeed so easily!"
"Your Majesty, the most urgent task should be to let General Zilong closely monitor Gui Shuang's every move in case of an accident!" Zhou Yu said with his fist.
Chen Chu nodded, "Tell Zilong that you can attack with a camera, no need to ask for instructions! Let Zhuo Yifan send detailed information from all aspects of Kushan as soon as possible!"
Before the evening of that day, another urgent letter of flying pigeon flew from the west to Luoyang.
"It seems that the situation is better than expected! Although the Ross re-controlled Nissa and Yueduo defeated Kerile in the east, Li Pojun supported Yuezes' second son Yuekan as emperor in Yangjie, an important western city, and temporarily blocked the attacks of the Ross and Yueduo!" Chen Chu said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, it seems we have to send troops to intervene!" Lu Su frowned.
Chen Chu nodded and thought for a moment, "Tell Zilong that if you receive Li Pojun's request, you will attack the camera! Otherwise, you will not move!"
The four of them understood what Chen Chu meant and nodded.
Chen Chu walked down the steps and came to the sand table in a corner of the hall. The four of them followed. The sand table in front of him reflected the current overview of the entire Qin Empire and the surrounding situation.
Chen Chu picked up a wooden stick next to the sand table and suddenly pointed at the Langtou Mountain Fortress north of Dingbei Fortress. The four of them were stunned.
"The Langtou Mountain Fortress is like a nail, making me unable to sleep or eat! Although our Dingbei Fortress has curbed the passage of the Ross people to go south from here, the Ross people can still rely on the strong Langtou Mountain Fortress to continue their food and military resources!"
"Your Majesty, you think~~" Zhou Yu asked in surprise.
Chen Chu nodded, "The Langtou Mountain Fortress is always a threat to our Daqin, and we must unplug it!"
The four of them were silent for a moment, and Zhuge Liang said: "The Langtou Mountain Fortress can be said to be the core of the Ross Far East defense system! Not only is there sufficient food and supplies, but the city defense is strong, but the 150,000 army led by Cao Pi, the general of the South, guards here! Capture it~~~" Zhuge Liang couldn't help but frown.
Chen Chu said a little heavy: "To capture this strong fortress, our army will definitely pay a heavy price! However, this battle is imperative!"
"Your Majesty's consideration is indeed very thoughtful! In fact, it is the time to attack this fortress. According to the current situation, the strategic focus of the Ross people is indeed on the west, and most of its main forces are on the west. Once our army launches, they will have to spend at least one month to reinforce! With this month, our army may be able to take down the Langtoushan Fortress! However, I am afraid that Zilong will bear unimaginable pressure!" Zhou Yu analyzed.
Chen Chu understood Zhou Yu's meaning. Once the Qin army was launched at the Langtoushan Fortress, the most likely action of the Ross people was to concentrate on the west to attack Kangju and the Pamir Fortress. Although the Qin army had 450,000 power in the Western Regions, the real elite was only one Canglang Camp Iron Cavalry, and the defense front of this line was very long! Once the main force of Ross attacked with all his strength, it would be a tragic battle!
Chen Chu couldn't help but hesitate, because the power of the Luos people in the west was completely possible to break the Qin army's defense line in the western region. If that were the case, it would be bad!
