Chapter 619

After two days of rest, Chen Wei hasn't called.

The Scout replied, "General Chen Wei with 50000 troops retreated to the west city." The west city is between Lanzhou and Mecheng. Although the population of the west city is not large, the terrain is very dangerous, and it has always been a place for soldiers and horses.

When Cui Mo heard the music, he said, "can the defense in Longzhong be stronger than that in Lanzhou City?" Lanzhou city they also used only one night and one morning to break through, that wheat city is nothing more.

Cloud Qing coldly glanced at trimmer and said, "pride will defeat." If the army is brave again, if its leaders are complacent, they will surely lose the battle.

When trimmer heard this, he didn't dare to say anything more.

Yunqing opened the map, pointed it out to the public, and said: "although there is no solid defense in Lanzhou, Longzhong has the title of" throat of Gansu, gateway of Lanzhou ", which should not be taken lightly." Longzhong is also an important military base. Chen Wei retreated in Longzhong with good vision.

Yu Cong asked, "general, when will we attack the west city?"

Yunqing said, "I have been rested for two days. I can start tomorrow." Chen Wei can't be given more time. He has to fight quickly.

After everyone went out, Yunqing was still studying the map. Yu Cong brought him a bowl of noodles and said, "general, have something to eat!"

Yunqing takes over the noodles and eats them up. After eating, he pulls Yu Cong to the front of the map, points to Xicheng, and then draws a line until it stops at the location of pickaxe city. Yun Qing asked, "with Chen Wei's 50000 troops in the West City, Ji Xuan has sent out 180000 troops. If I'm right, pickaxe city's defense is very weak now. After we take West City, we will take pickaxe city directly. "

Yu Cong naturally thinks that this strategy is good, but Yunqing's sudden change makes him a little uncomfortable. Yu Cong asked, "general, didn't you always say that you should play steadily?"

Yunqing said: "more help, less help.". Now the situation is so good that we must make good use of it. " Because sun Shaojian felt that it was unnecessary for him to play steadily. On the contrary, he must fight quickly now. Once he captured the pickaxe city and controlled the northwest in his hand, he would not be afraid of the imperial army to encircle it.

Yu Cong said with a smile, "general, is that what the madam said?" The general of his family can't say anything so literal at all.

Yunqing nodded his head and said, "it's my wife. I didn't quite understand before, but now I understand the truth of this Because they belong to the just side, they will be supported and helped by sun Shaojian and others. On the contrary, all the evil things Ji Xuan did will be betrayed by all the people. Knowing the meaning of this, Yunqing has the strength to make a quick decision.

Just about Yuxi, Gao song came in from outside and said with a smile, "general, madam has written." Every time the general receives a letter from his wife, he is in a good mood.

Yunqing saw only one letter and said, "what about others' letters?"

Gao Song said: "when Xu Baowei gave the letter to the messenger, he said it was very important to let them give it to the general as soon as possible." It's also Xu Wu's words. Let the messenger deliver the letter day and night. "

Yuxi wrote a thicker letter than last time. Yu Cong looks at Yunqing's letter and takes out a pile of thick paper. He can't help but muttering to himself. How can madam say so many things!

Cloud Qing saw, said toward Gao Song: "to call Tan Tuo." Yuxi's letter is no longer the same as the last one. It's all about the family's short stories.

I have a twinkle of eyelids. This letter must be more about housework. Yu Cong couldn't help asking, "general, what did madam say in the letter?"

Yunqing takes out the last three pieces of paper and hands the rest to Yu Cong.

After reading it, Yu Cong looked up and said, "general, I'm free from taxes. What can I do for the army?" In his letter, Yuxi suggested that Yunqing should order to exempt the northwest people from three years' tax service. The taxes are gone. What will they eat and drink in the future! All the brothers are fighting with each other in order to live a good life!

Yunqing thought that Yu Cong was not careless, and said, "did you take it seriously? Madame means that all newly reclaimed wasteland is exempt from rent tax for three years. "

Yu Cong hurriedly bowed his head and looked back at it seriously. After reading it, he took a sigh of relief and said, "fortunately, I read it wrong." Finish saying this, Yu Cong says with a smile: "still Madame thinks well. If Madame's idea is implemented, those people will surely support us. " Now we are encouraging the opening of wasteland, reducing and remitting agricultural taxes. In addition, those messy taxes are also exempted. As long as An'an is willing to farm, there will be a safe and stable life. The common people are not looking forward to a safe and stable life!

However, at this point, Yu Cong couldn't help but wonder and ask, "general, how can my wife be so clear about taxes?" It's like nothing the lady doesn't know.

"Madame is not only clear about the tax situation, but also about the law," said Yunqing His daughter-in-law is so studious that he has a big stomach and chews books all day long, which makes him a little ashamed.

Didn't wait for Yu Cong to sigh, Gao Song said outside that Tan Tuo came.

When Yunqing saw Tan Tuo, he didn't show Yuxi's letter to him. Instead, he said, "let the people reclaim the wasteland. All the newly reclaimed wasteland is free of tax for three years. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Tan Tuo said, "general, it's a good thing for the people."

Yunqing looks at Tan Tuo's excited face. It's strange. Yuxi's idea is good, but it doesn't make Tan Tuo happy. Yunqing didn't know. In recent years, due to Jixuan's rampant collection of money and banditry, many lands in the northwest have been deserted, and the population has been reduced by nearly 40%. Once the law of no tax collection for the reclamation of wasteland is promulgated, it will immediately win the hearts of the people. Tan Tuo is a man of letters. There is no better way to win the hearts of the people than him.

Tan Tuo follows Yunqing and is also forced by the situation. But since following the rebellion, we naturally hope Yunqing is getting better and better. When Yunqing is ready, he can be stable. Before that, he had been worried about Yunqing's fierce battle, but he may not be able to manage the place. Now it seems that he is worried for nothing. Since Yunqing knows the importance of the people's support, he doesn't have to worry about it in the future.

Tan Tuo said: "general, although this decree is very good, it also has shortcomings. If the wasteland is opened, it will be in vain if there is no seed. " No seeds, no more wasteland, it is a waste of energy.

When Yunqing heard the word "decree", he felt speechless in his heart, but he soon suppressed the same feeling, saying: "it's not urgent. In the spring, the government borrowed cattle and seeds for them, and then the grain will be collected, so that they can use it to pay back."

Tan Tuo nodded and said, "the general is thoughtful." This is what I said on my mouth, but I have doubts in my heart. With Yunqing's nature, I can't think so thoroughly. Moreover, Yunqing is too familiar with local government affairs.

Yunqing said, "you should implement this matter as soon as possible. It's a good time to open up the wasteland before spring ploughing. " Although it's said that it's getting cold these two days, it will get warm after the Lantern Festival. From the Lantern Festival to spring ploughing, there is still a period of time, which is enough for them to reclaim a lot of wasteland.

Tan Tuo nodded: "don't worry, general. I'll go back to make preparations. The decree will be issued in two days at the latest. "

Yunqing nodded: "I will attack the West City tomorrow, and I will leave Yuan Ying in Lanzhou city. If you have anything to do, you can find Yuan Ying. "

Tan Tuo nodded, "OK."

Only Yunqing and Yucong are left in the room. Yu Cong asked, "general, do you really want to keep Yuan Ying?"

"If you think it's not right for Yuan Ying to stay, you can stay for him. I won't have a problem," Yun asked

Yu Cong sees this, where dare to have two words.

The result is beyond Yu Cong's expectation, Yuan Ying does not have any dissatisfaction. Seeing Yu Cong comforting him, Yuan Ying said with a smile, "there will always be someone in Lanzhou." Not him, but other generals.

Yu Cong patted Yuan Ying on the shoulder and said, "brother, you are righteous enough." Sacrifice oneself, complete brothers, deserve to be their good brothers.

Yuan Ying said, "you should also pay attention to safety. Chen Wei is not a good person. He must be careful. " Chen Wei pays attention to stability in the war. It's a bit tricky to deal with such people.

Yu Cong said with a smile, "don't worry if there is a general."

After a long talk, Yu Cong went back to have a rest. Back in the yard, I saw the light in Yunqing's room was still on. Yu Cong asked Gao Song, "why hasn't the general had a rest?"

Gao Song lowered his voice and said, "the general is writing back to his wife. I don't know what the lady said in the letter. The general's eyebrows are almost knotted. "

Yu Cong said with a smile, "Madame is the most considerate. She should not give the general any problems." It's also Yuxi's impression on everyone.

Yuxi doesn't have a problem with Yunqing, but at the end of the letter she says that if Yunqing replies with a few more words, she won't write a family letter to Yunqing in the future. This threat is very useful for Yunqing. But the problem is, Yunqing has no idea what to write. Writing about the war, he thought Yuxi certainly didn't like reading it. But apart from fighting, there is nothing else to say!

In the middle of the night, Yunqing is still awake. Gao Song went in and said, "general, it's almost midnight, and it's time to go to bed. Tomorrow, I have to get up early to make my way."

Yunqing thought for a moment, asked Gao Song, and said, "how do you write the reply to your wife?" He really doesn't know how to write.

Gao Song was a little puzzled and said, "general, this book is not a document. Just say what you want!" It seems that the general hasn't written a letter of home in most days. Writing a letter of home is more difficult than writing official documents. He has really taken to his own general.

Yun Qing said to himself, "what do you want to say?" Compare the family letter Yuxi wrote last time. Yunqing now knows how to write.

If Yuxi knew what Yunqing thought, he would cry.
