At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 475: Shuiyunshan's Letter

The East Vietnamese army occupied three states, and Qingyao handed over most of the fighting on the front line to Xue Changqing. She herself stayed in Bashu, on the one hand to comprehend the way of the sword, and on the other hand to be responsible for food and weapons.

The sun is high in the sky, the clouds are brilliant, and in the courtyard, the flowers are blooming and the air is filled with the rich fragrance of flowers.

A lake of clear water is rippling, with lush aquatic plants on the lake, a pavilion standing in the middle of the lake, birds flying across, and fish swimming happily.

in the garden.

A figure was practicing martial arts. The three-foot sword in his hand was whistling, and his body moved with the sword, with the sound of sword energy ringing.

It was the Queen Qingyao of Dongyue. Although she had not ascended the throne, she was now known as the Lord of Dongyue.

The sword energy was dense and overlapping, and rays of cold light were looming. After a moment, a charming voice was heard.

"Qing Yao."

A woman wrapped in a white long dress dropped from the sky and landed in the courtyard. Her sleeves fluttered and her internal energy disappeared, seeming both real and unreal.

She has a graceful figure and the long skirt fits her body tightly, outlining her perfect curves.

It was Xiaoyueer.

"what's wrong?"

Qingyao stopped, sheathed her sword, waved her sleeves, and the sword energy in the sky shattered. Xiaoyue landed in the garden, pointed her toes, flew several feet away, and appeared in front of Qingyao.

She raised the envelope in her hand and pursed her lips and said, "A letter from Shui Yunshan, specially for you."

"Written by the young master or by Sister Miaoyu."

Qingyao was curious, so she opened the letter, glanced at the signature, and immediately smiled.

"You are smiling so happily, it must have been written by the young master."

Xiaoyue joked.

"whee"

Qingyao nodded, and the words "Xiao Han" were written at the end of the letter.

"What does the letter say?"

Xiaoyue sat down on the stone table next to her and poured herself a cup of herbal tea.

"My lord asked us to mobilize our troops recently and fight a battle with the Central Plains court."

Qingyao frowned, "But the letter didn't say why."

Xiao Yue thought about it for a while, then figured out the key point, and explained: "I guess Xiliang may be planning a big event, and you are needed to hold back the imperial court's troops and conceal their whereabouts."

"Is he going to attack the Central Plains?"

Qingyao was excited.

"impossible."

Xiao Yue'er shook her head: "At present, Xiliang still needs to recuperate, and the young master will not attack the Central Plains so quickly."

"Don't think about it. He is very thoughtful."

Qingyao pouted, "Anyway, just do as he says. I'll write a letter right now. Please go and give my letter to the gentleman. He will organize the troops and have a big battle with the imperial court."

"it is good."

He took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, wrote the letter and handed it to Xiaoyue'er. He watched her leave the palace and then Qingyao continued to practice sword.

To her, Dongyue is not important. The reason why Qingyao stays here is entirely to help her own master and Xue Changqing's obsession.

Rather than conquering cities and territories, she prefers to practice swordplay, immersing herself in the way of the sword and feeling the improvement of her skills.

Be an emperor?
Qingyao said it was too tiring, and it was not as comfortable as being a maid, where you don't have to worry about anything, you have food and drink, you don't have to do anything, and you get money. If you have free time, you can grow vegetables in your own yard and practice swordsmanship, but the emperor doesn't have such comfort.

Suppressing all distracting thoughts, her mind gradually immersed in the way of the sword, and the sword energy around her became stronger and stronger.

Two days later, Xiaoyue handed the letter to Xue Changqing. The commander-in-chief of the Dongyue army was no match for a little girl like Qingyao.

From just a few words, we can see what the King of Xiliang is thinking. He wants to create an illusion through the battle in the south of the Yangtze River and at the same time tie up the hands and feet of the Central Plains court.

So, within half a month, Xue Changqing mobilized the troops from Jingzhou and Jianzhou, and made a move to march north to attack Guangzhou.

The imperial court was so frightened that it immediately mobilized heavy troops.

Once Jiangnan moved, the situation in the whole world instantly became even more turbid. Everyone knew that Jiangnan and Dongyue were supported by the King of Xiliang.

Right now, the Dongyue Army is gathering its forces and preparing to march north, and will certainly join hands with Xiliang to attack the Central Plains from the north and south.

In addition, the evil cult under Dongfang Bai's command has been stirring up a bloody storm in the Central Plains martial arts world for several months, wantonly attacking the sects and gangs under the martial arts world.

As a result, the martial arts world in the Central Plains was too busy to take care of itself to go to the south of the Yangtze River to deal with the masters of Dongyue.

The whole world was in a state of panic, and people were in a state of panic, especially the wealthy and powerful families, who were even more terrified.

The King of Xiliang lived in seclusion in Shuiyun Mountain, but if he stomped his feet, the whole world would shake. If he exhaled casually, there would be a violent storm with flying sand and rocks.

The thousand-year-old aristocratic families and the century-old clans were all so fragile and vulnerable in front of Xiliang.

However, the undercurrents in the world did not stir up the vast ocean of Xiliang.

At the end of February, the wind and snow in various places gradually stopped. Xiliang and Yongzhou were the first to start spring plowing, followed by Jizhou, Youzhou, Hexizhou, and Juzizhou.

At the beginning of March, the five northern states also began spring ploughing one after another, and the whole Xiliang was busy.

The original six states were fine, as they were very familiar with various political decrees, and the people and officials all knew what to do.

For the first time, the people in the five states felt the government orders of Xiliang. Seeds, farm tools, and oxen were transported to each village in carts.

In winter, the fields had already been leveled and divided, and after the spring, land reclamation was vigorously encouraged.

Under the leadership of various Yang Meng officials, the fields were filled with busy figures.

Compared with the previous period of the Northern Wei empress, the political decrees implemented by Xiliang were only 20% of those of the Northern Wei empress, and young and middle-aged people were not forced to perform labor service.

The government has no plans to recruit soldiers in the five states for the time being. Whether it is digging canals or paving official roads, they will not only be provided with food, but also paid wages, and the wages paid are very high.

Straight official roads connected the states and counties, and even the roads between villages were extremely flat.

There will also be rewards for those who reclaim the most land, and for those who plant the most land. I heard that in the autumn harvest time, there will also be rewards for those with the best harvest.

The decrees completely shattered the cognition of the people in the five states, and they even doubted whether they were living in a dream.

But reality told them that this was not a dream.

Officials from the county government and soldiers from the military depot would even go down to the fields and help farm during the busy farming season.

What they saw and heard shocked them greatly.

It also made the people of these five states completely forget the Northern Wei Dynasty and throw themselves into the arms of Xiliang.

The eleven states of Xiliang were all busy with spring plowing, and Xiao Han was not idle either.

The task of fighting Goguryeo was fully entrusted to Jiaxiong. Every day, he would take Princess Ningxi with him in a carriage and patrol around Xiliang.

This is an old habit he has developed over the years. Every spring ploughing and autumn harvest, he would walk around and take a look.

As the saying goes, human hearts are hard to predict. Xiao Han thinks that his martial arts skills are the best in the world, but it is impossible for him to see through everything.

If the intelligence submitted by Jinyiwei, Secret Service, or Luowang is inaccurate, he will also make the wrong decision.
