Chapter 179 Wolf Ambition
"War must be fought under a legitimate reason? Are we just going to run over and start fighting?" Yu Chaosheng shook his head. Wouldn't that make us invaders?
They don't do that.
If the other party strikes first, they will fight back, and if they beat someone to death or maim them, the other party will have to bear the consequences.
Marquis Wu'an thought about it and realized that it was true.
It's so fucking frustrating!
I have to have a legitimate reason to do anything, it’s so annoying!
"Okay, go back." He waved his hand impatiently, "If that son of a bitch Su Ge comes over, I will beat the shit out of him!"
Yu Chaosheng couldn't help curling his lips, raised his hand and patted Wu Anhou's arm, "You are fine, Yingying and I will take care of you in your old age, don't always rush to the front in the battle."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and told Deputy General Qin, "Uncle Qin, please help us keep an eye on him!"
Deputy General Qin cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will definitely stop the Marquis."
Why didn't he stop it? They almost got into a fight over this before.
Yu Chaosheng: "Okay, then I'll leave the medical team here. There are plenty of doctors in the city anyway."
……
……
Before Pan Yingying and her group had finished packing, Marquis Wu'an ordered the soldiers of the Wu'an Army to gather the people of Kaiyang and bring them over to follow Pan Yingying to Taoyuan City.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Su Ge will not give up this time and will definitely send a large army to attack.
That's why Marquis Wu'an wanted to send the people to Taoyuan City, so that he could split his troops into two groups and concentrate on fighting that bastard Su Ge.
Pan Yingying guessed what he was thinking, but didn't expose it.
Because that's exactly what she meant.
There are too few people in Taoyuan City, and a lot of land is uncultivated. Once these people left, the abandoned land had new owners.
……
……
"Uncle, let's go." Yu Chaosheng waved to Marquis Wu'an and climbed onto his horse.
Batian wagged his tail at Wu'an Hou as a way of saying goodbye to him.
Pan Yingying sat in the carriage and blinked at Marquis Wu'an.
Marquis Wu'an held the note in his hand, his eyes slightly moist.
Wait until the group of people walk away until they can no longer be seen.
Marquis Wu'an raised his hand to wipe his face, then carefully opened the small note which was particularly fragile to him.
[Uncle, I left some secret weapons in the hands of the captain of the first medical team.]
"My lord, don't cry. The girl has gone far away." Deputy General Qin's voice sounded faintly at the side.
Marquis Wu'an frowned, turned around and kicked him.
"Who is crying? I'm not crying! I was just blinded by the wind and sand."
Deputy General Qin would not agree with him, "Where does the wind and sand come from with such heavy snow?"
Wu Anhou raised his foot to kick again, "You are the only one who talks too much! Just shut up! You are like a sick person!"
……
……
Ganzhou, Chengyang.
Prefect Zhang Shouchu stared at the secret letter in his hand with dazed eyes.
This secret letter came from Zhuge Jinyu, the king of Xia State.
The letter promised Zhang Shouchu the position of prime minister and asked him to open Chengyang Pass on the 15th day of the first lunar month to welcome the Xia army into Dayu.
Zhang Shouchu was torn between his conscience and his desires.
It seems that Dayu is about to run out of luck.
Natural disasters, plagues, wars...
On the one hand, they were educated in loyalty to the emperor and patriotism since childhood, and on the other hand, they were the people who had always been living in dire straits.
Zhuge Jinyu, the ruler of Xia, ascended the throne five years ago. In just one year, he suppressed the civil strife in Xia with thunderous means, and then devoted himself to training troops and focusing on production. Xia is like spring all year round. According to the spies sent out, the people of Xia have had full granaries since last year. No wonder Zhuge Jinyu wants to take advantage of the current chaos in Dayu to get a piece of the pie.
Who as the ruler of a country would not have the ambition to unify the world?
Oh, except for Emperor Yuwen who passed away not long ago, what they pursued was not to unify the world, but to ascend to heaven.
I wonder if he has succeeded in ascending to heaven and become one of the immortals?
Zhang Shouchu thought sarcastically and threw the secret letter into the brazier.
Forget it, there are still nearly three months until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so let’s wait a little longer.
What if the new emperor is a wise ruler?
……
……
Emperor Yuqing Xiao Shen, who was being considered by Zhang Shouchu as to whether he was a wise ruler, was currently writing a letter to Lu Qingqing, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue.
Lu Qingqing is the most beautiful woman in the universe. She is extremely beautiful and well-read.
It is said that after the Shangshu's wife passed away, he took charge of the backyard of the Shangshu's Mansion at the young age of nine, and never made any mistakes in several years.
Xiao Shen finally sat on the throne. The first thing he did was of course to ask for his sweetheart's hand in marriage. But before that, he had to ask for her opinion first.
He was not worried that Lu Qingqing would refuse.
Because before this, when he implicitly expressed his love to Lu Qingqing, Lu Qingqing once said that the person she wanted to marry should be the most powerful man in Dayu.
Now he has done it, he has become the emperor of Dayu.
Sure enough, that same evening, Lu Qingqing's reply was delivered to the palace by the secret guards.
Lu Qingqing implicitly expressed her willingness to marry Xiao Shen.
Xiao Shen was overjoyed and could not wait until the next day to summon several officials from the Ministry of Rites to the palace to discuss with him the matter of marrying the new queen.
……
……
In Yuzhou, the people were living in misery, like dying corpses, silently waiting to die.
A caravan of strangely dressed merchants slowly entered Yuzhou, pulling several carts of food and medicinal materials.
Long Si was wearing a three-layer mask, goggles, and a thick cotton coat. He looked up at the sky and shivered in the cold wind.
Along the way, they had tried several prescriptions given by Pan Yingying and determined that one of them was very effective against the plague.
After selling the goods they brought out at a high price, they stockpiled a lot of food and medicinal materials to treat people infected with the plague along the way, and finally reached Yuzhou.
"Fourth Shopkeeper, Wancheng is just ahead." A middle-aged man wearing a melon-shaped hat came over and bowed.
He was also a disaster victim rescued by the caravan. He fled from Yuzhou to Quanzhou. Before he died, he met the Taoyuan caravan led by Long Si and luckily survived.
When he heard that they were coming to Yuzhou to rescue people, he volunteered to be their guide.
He used to be a merchant in Yuzhou and traveled frequently, so he was very familiar with the area east of Dayu.
With him leading the way, Long Si and his group avoided many detours and saved a lot of time.
Long Si nodded and waved to the long team behind him.
"Brothers and sisters! We will soon reach Wancheng! Everyone, work harder!"
There were countless responses from behind.
The caravan sped up and entered Wancheng before dark.
The officials in Wancheng had fled with their families as early as when the plague broke out. Those who are still lingering in the city are all ordinary people in Wancheng.
Disasters befell from heaven, plagues were rampant, officials fled, and the court did nothing. The people could only save themselves, but only one in ten survived to this day.
Seeing the caravan coming, the people, who were so thin that they were just skin and bones, came out of their houses.
The people in the caravan did not feel anything special when being stared at by those pairs of dark eyes, because they had long been accustomed to such looks.
Things at home are almost settled. I was too tired to fall asleep yesterday and didn't update any more. Today I will resume normal updates and will do my best to update more.
Qizi, together with Sister Pan and Old Yu, begs the babies for love!
