The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 99 Military Intelligence
"His Royal Highness, Cold City urgent report!"

On the martial arts arena of Yingyang Palace, Qin Wan was eating melon seeds with great interest while watching Ning Yi practice his sword, when a guard hurriedly delivered a military report.

Ning Yi put away his sword handsomely, took out the military newspaper to read, and gradually changed his expression.

"What's wrong?" Qin Wan asked.

"It's nothing," Ning Yi said to the guards, "Immediately summon troops of rank two and above to come to Qingyun Hall."

The guard had to be ordered to leave, Qin Wan had a premonition, and grabbed Ning Yi's arm: "You can tell from the look on your face that it's serious, can't you tell me?"

Ning also raised his hand and patted Qin Wan's head comfortingly: "Xidi raided the border and assassinated the generals at Tongmen Pass, resulting in the loss of more than [-] troops stationed at Tongmen Pass. Now Xidi's army is still heading towards Hancheng. Marching...tonight, I have to bring my troops back to Rong Kingdom."

After hearing what Ning Yi had said, Qin Wan covered his face with his hands and rubbed his face, pulled his hair behind his ears, and said solemnly, "Go to Qingyun Palace, I'll go back to the cold palace by myself."

"Yes." Ning Yi tried not to look overly anxious, but the speed at which he left had already made Qin Wan see how urgent the situation was.

At this time, Lie Xie came to her side: "Madam, Tian Chen has been persuaded by Si Qi to surrender, and Si Qi sent a letter asking what to do next."

Qin Wan gritted her teeth and said, "Let Si Qi marry Tian Chen, and then tell her to hold Tian Chen firmly... At this time, the two of them must ensure that the whole Jiangnan will not be chaotic again."

"Yes, ma'am." Lie Xie took the order and left.

Qin Wan rubbed her brows and took a deep breath all the way back to Leng Gong. Seeing her return with a heavy face, Liu Ying hurriedly asked what was going on.

"I said I don't want to deal with Ning Yi's messy political affairs anymore, but I still can't help worrying, Liu Ying, do you think I'm cheating myself?" Qin Wan sat down on the stone bench, raised his hands to support his head, He said dejectedly, "Why don't I break up with Ning Yi, who can stand the ups and downs every day."

When Liuying heard this, she hurriedly covered Qin Wan's mouth: "Hey, my lady, how can you say such nonsense, if His Highness hears it, you will be angry again. You must know that when His Highness King Ning gets angry, we These servants will not have a good life, so even if you think about it for us, don't make His Highness unhappy, okay?"

Seeing Liuying's nervous look, Qin Wan nodded helplessly.

In fact, no matter how much he complained, Qin Wan was still worried about the military report just now.

Sidi...

Qin Wan didn't hear what Ning Yi said, she went to Chuniandian to ask the steward for a map of Kyushu, and the steward eunuch saw Qin Wan, and his work efficiency was extremely high. The full map is out.

The land of Xidi is located in the northwest of Liang State and west of Beirong. According to the modern map, it is in most of the northwest including Yinchuan and Gansu. It basically coincides with the location of the Western Regions, and here is exactly Liyang Jinjia is opening up the spice trade route.

While chatting with Qin Wan, Miao Jin said that during the six months she was away from Yingyang, the spices that the Jin family exported to countries in the Western Regions were sought after by the local people. The money has far exceeded their traditional tea and mulberry business.

"Liuying, help me to ask Miao Peng, and ask him to give me the total amount of funds for trade with the Western Regions as soon as possible." Qin Wan looked at the map and said to Liuying.

Soon Liuying returned to the cold palace with a detailed list of the total import and export trade of countries in the Western Regions.

Qin Wan looked at it, and Miao Peng wrote it clearly for her in Arabic numerals on purpose. Just seeing the amount, Qin Wan gasped.Such a large trade surplus was indeed far beyond Qin Wan's imagination.

Earning a lot of money is a good thing, but earning too much is not a good thing.A large amount of gold and silver flowed into the Central Plains area, and it was getting worse and worse. In addition, Nanliang was sanctioned economically and defeated militarily. It probably sounded the alarm for those in power in Xidi. They were afraid that they would not do anything. , will follow in the footsteps of Nanliang.

Qin Wan looked at the map carefully with her chin on her chin. In addition to Xidi in the northwest, there were also the Yi people in the northeast, Dongying across the sea, and Ba in the southwest...

"Ah... I really want to eat hot pot!" Qin Wan thought to herself, "Everyone who travels through time must have hot pot." Unfortunately, there is no Sichuan hot pot base here, so they can only eat mutton boiled in a copper pot.The copper pot is delicious, but it is not spicy or addictive.

"What would you like to eat?" Liu Ying asked Qin Wan, who had never heard of hot pot.

"Liuying, I'll draw you a picture, and you help me find a pot."

After finishing speaking, Qin Wan took out a piece of paper and drew a picture of Chongqing Jiugongge hot pot for Liuying, and asked Liuying to find someone to do it.

She wanted to wait for Liuying to find someone to make the pot, so she asked Ning Yi to taste it together, but before the pot was ready, she received a notice from Ning Yi that he would bring 30 troops back to Beirong to meet Xidi's army , [-] troops were left to be stationed in Yingyang under the command of Yuan Ying.

This decision was made very decisively. The Beirong Army had strict discipline and high efficiency. Ning Yi put on his armor and headed to the barracks to reorganize the team. He did not respond to Yanghuang Palace for many days.When Qin Wan saw him again, it was already the day he was going to go to war.

In the early autumn of Yingyang City, even though it was September, the sun was scorching. Qin Wan stood on the gate of the city, looking at Ning Yi, who was at the front of the army, and watched him order the three armies to prepare to go.

Qin Wan was a little depressed, and also a little angry. Ning Yi was about to go to the battlefield, but he didn't even respond to Yang Huanggong to say goodbye to her.

But she still ran to the top of the city to see him off, and begged all the gods in the sky, hoping they would bless Ning Yi to win the battle.

Liuying took Qin Wan's grievances seriously: "Your Highness, it's really too much for you to leave as soon as you receive the military report, without leaving a word for your mother."

Qin Wan curled his lips and shook his head helplessly: "It is estimated that the military situation in the north is urgent, and he can't delay it for a second."

Although she helped Ning Yi find a reason, she was still somewhat sad in her heart.

At this moment, Ning Yi suddenly rode his horse through the army and rushed towards the head of Yingyang City.

When Qin Wan saw it, he quickly climbed up between the battlements, poked his head to look at Ning Yi who was under the city.

Ning Yi reined in his horse under the city wall, in front of the army, and said loudly to Qin Wan with a smile, "Wan'er, wait for my king to come back!"

Qin Wan was stunned, a little excited and a little nervous, and responded loudly: "Well, I'm waiting for your triumphant return!"

Then, Ning Yi turned his horse's head, returned to the front of the army, and raised his hand to signal the whole army to set off.

Qin Wan watched his back, feeling a little sour and helpless.

She suddenly remembered something, then climbed up the wall, put her hands by her mouth, and chanted loudly to the marching army:
"Qiqi in September, the military chariots are in order. The four males are wearing regular clothes!

Yun Yun Kong Chi, I am in a hurry.Wang Yu set off to conquer the kingdom!

Compared with things and four Li, the dimension of leisure.Maintain this September, I will accept it as it is!

I am done, in thirty miles.Wang Yu went out to fight, to assist my king!

The four males cultivate wide, which is very powerful.Cut down the yun yun thinly to play Fugong!

There is strictness and wings, and the uniform of martial arts.Armed with martial arts, to establish the kingdom! "

Qin Wan didn't know at this time that for many years and many generations later, it became popular in various countries in Kyushu to conscript imperial concubines, and it became a strict tradition.

Whenever the country is in crisis, the most noble woman in the harem will put on a costume and stand on the city gate, representing all the women in the country who support their husbands, sons and brothers to go to war, singing songs and praying for the soldiers.

Ning Yi was riding on the horse, listening to Qin Wan's calm and loud voice behind him, a smile appeared on his lips.

Accompanied by Qin Wan's voice, the army began to move in a tight and orderly manner, heading north.
