Yanmenchun

Chapter 266

Mrs. Cao sighed and said: "What can I know, we don't know what her temper is, and talking rashly may cause big trouble."

Mrs. Liu glanced at Mrs. Deng. Mrs. Deng was more face-saving than Mrs. Liu, so she pushed Mrs. Cao and said, "How can this be considered a discussion? The princess is going to visit my house. This is to understand the likes and dislikes of the princess, so as to avoid taboos." a bit."

Mrs. Cao had no choice but to stretch her sleeves and said: "I don't know how many, I just tell you what I know. She had her first meal here today, and the maid asked the kitchen to cook sixteen dishes, saying This is the daily routine of Prince Yan's residence."

The wives were stunned. A meal of [-] courses would cost more than [-] courses a day, even if the breakfast meal was simpler, it would cost [-] courses.

This is just an example of Shen Tuchan alone.

Cao said again: "She told King Yan that in the future, it will be halved according to the regulations of King Yan's residence."

Only then did Mrs. Liu let out a sigh of relief and said, "From this point of view, she has a gentle temper."

Mrs. Cao nodded and said: "Now it seems that it is indeed the case. She doesn't care about officialdom and government affairs, and she speaks leniently. Even if she asks General Wang, I am afraid that General Wang will have a hard time."

A few people knew the whole story, they looked at each other and said nothing, the other lady had only been in Mobei for half a year, and she didn't know the whole story, she was surprised and said: "How do you say that? Can the princess control the affairs of the army?"

Mrs. Deng is the most versatile, she glanced at her and said: "Eight years ago, the last Zhenbeihou was the uncrowned king of the Yanmenguan generation, and our princess is the eldest daughter of his heart."

The madam quickly closed her mouth, held back for a while and finally said: "After all, she is the daughter of Mobei, how can the capital raise such a fierce character."

After saying this, Mrs. Cao and Mrs. Deng looked at each other in blank dismay.

The next day when Jiang Lan and Shen Tuchan went to the barracks, the weather was gloomy, the snow hadn't completely melted in the past few days, and now there was another snowstorm.

Wang Yan is not very old, only in his thirties. Hu Dao from Yan Wangfu sent a message yesterday, telling him that King Yan and Princess Yichun are coming today. Wang Yan does not know a good couple. Concubine Yan, what is she insisting on calling herself Princess Yichun?

Therefore, he spared half a day in the morning for these two distinguished guests.

Shen Tuchan's hair was tied up high, she was wearing a dark green riding outfit, and a black fox fur coat. She rode horses side by side with Jiang Lan. Looking at her back, she didn't look like a female family member, but rather a young man from some family. The horsewhip pointed to the left rear of the barracks and said: "Go straight in this direction, and there is Yanmen Pass, which is my father's racecourse."

There was joy in the voice, as if all of this was eight years ago, and it was still Shen Tulang's racetrack.

Jiang Lan smiled and said, "If it doesn't snow, let's go and have a look after we finish our discussion."

Shen Tuchan nodded to go, kicked the horse's belly and moved forward.

Wang Yan was waiting for two people in front of the tent. He had never seen Shen Tuchan before, but he had seen Shen Tulang when he was young. After he glanced over, he couldn't help but turned his head and said to the lieutenant beside him, "The princess of Yichun looks quite alike. Her father."

The deputy general had never seen Shen Tulang, so he didn't speak.

When the two arrived, Hu Dao got off his horse and went to lead Shen Tuchan's horse first.

Wang Yan and the deputy general smiled and went forward to greet Jiang Lan and Shen Tuchan.

It was cold outside, so the four of them entered the tent together with their machetes.

Shen Tuchan sat down, the guards served tea, and Wang Yan said to Jiang Lan, "My lord and my concubine came all the way from the capital city, I am sorry for the inconvenience."

Then he got up and saluted.

Jiang Lan didn't speak, Shentuchan said with a smile: "The military is busy with affairs, you don't have to be polite, general."

Wang Yan was taken aback for a moment, seeing that Jiang Lan didn't make a statement, he nodded with a smile and sat down, but he was surprised by this couple in his heart, it is said that a husband is a guide to a wife, but these two people showed no sign of this at all.

Shen Tuchan didn't intend to betray Wang Yan, she said directly: "The general doesn't need to look at the prince, the prince just accompanied me here, I am the one who wants to come to the barracks to see you."

Seeing her being so straightforward, Wang Yan no longer pretended to be respectful. He looked up at her and said, "Although the concubine is a girl, she is straightforward. I know that the mansion guarding the Yanmen Gate eight years ago was the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, but the Marquis has gone. , I don’t know what advice the princess has for you?”

Shen Tuchan took out a slip from her sleeve, a thin piece of paper, held it between her fingers, looked at Wang Yan and said, "Eight years ago my father was killed by an adulterer and died in battle at Yanmen Pass. I don't want to say too much, it is the fate of my Zhenbeihou Mansion to completely defeat the Xiongnu, it is my father's wish, and I am here to help the general."

Wang Yan personally stepped forward to take the paper from Shen Tuchan's hands, he looked at Jiang Lan, Jiang Lan just drank tea calmly, Wang Yan opened the paper, only to feel that the thin paper weighed more than a thousand gold.

He looked at Shen Tuchan in disbelief and said, "All this money is for the army?"

Shen Tuchan smiled, stood up from his seat, looked at Wang Yan and said, "Yes, the general has been guarding Mobei for several years, and I will not seize military power because of my own selfish desires. I can provide everything for the general, and there is only one thing the general wants to listen to." mine."

Wang Yan squeezed the paper in his hand and said, "What's the matter?"

Shen Tuchan slightly hooked her lips and said: "I want the general to take the initiative to attack and hold the initiative of the war in our hands. I want to completely repel the Xiongnu, make them surrender, and let them pay tribute."

These words are too rampant, with the infinite courage of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers.

But Wang Yan just thought it was ridiculous: "Princess, you don't have to be rich to win a war. The Huns are good at riding. They are more familiar with the outside of the pass than us. The ones who attack rashly are our brothers and feet."

Shen Tuchan asked back: "Under the defense, there are no dead people?"

Wang Yan was taken aback, and Shen Tuchan said again: "The general has been guarding Mobei for seven or eight years, and the Xiongnu have attacked countless times. You have always just defended, and insisted that the poor should not chase after you. Have our people died?"

No, there were even a few times when Yanmen Pass was lost, and many people nearby died. In recent years, there is no one around Yanmen Pass.

Yanmen Pass has been reduced from the land of the Great Jin Dynasty to a battleground.

This is a situation that would never have happened when Shen Tulang was alive. His death was because of guarding the Yanmen Pass. Now that Shen Tuchan is standing in front of him, he can't say bad words, because he knows very well in his heart how important it is to guard the Yanmen Pass. difficult.

Shen Tuchan looked at the piece of paper in Wang Yan's hand and said: "General, please re-plan the battle route. I will never leave Mobei until I achieve my goal. The Zhenbei Hou Mansion has guarded Yanmen Pass for decades. The blood of all the blood has not been able to end it, and our Zhenbeihou Mansion is extremely tired of being dragged down by it, even if it is the bottom line, we must get rid of this cancer."

Her words were sonorous, not just talking at all, and she didn't come to show kindness.

Wang Yan opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, at this time, we have to make a long-term plan."

His lieutenant echoed from the side: "Your Majesty, a hundred-year plan cannot be achieved overnight."

Shen Tuchan's eyes were locked on them, and her voice was firm: "I will find real help for the general before spring comes. During this time, please think about the battle. If the general thinks that I don't say much, or refuses to accept it, you can For Your Majesty, I will never stop the general."
