Chapter 261 Stalemate (1)

A gust of wind blew, and the leaves on the tree fell one after another.

With a high and protruding belly, Yuxi looked at the fallen leaves and said, "I really miss the maple leaves in the capital." When I went to see the maple forest in late autumn, from a distance, it was as red as the morning glow. The maple leaves are like red silk and satin, dancing in the wind, so beautiful.

Zijin asked: "Madam, do you miss the old lady?" After speaking, Zijin said a little later: "It's strange to say, in the past, the old lady would have something or a letter every other month. But it's been three months." No, we don't have anything, not a single letter."

Yuxi thought of the current situation in the northwest, and said: "The northwest is so chaotic, maybe there is no delivery!" Even so, there was not a single letter after thinking about it. The problem is, not only did there not be a letter from my mother, but my elder brother also did not receive a letter.

During this period of time, she has been busy, and Yuxi even forgot that she has not received a letter from her eldest brother for more than two months. Yu Xi said with a livid face: "It's either something happened in the capital, or something happened to the Han family." She and her elder brother corresponded every month, and this was the first time that she didn't receive a letter for two consecutive months.

Zijin hesitated for a moment, and said: "Maybe it's delayed on the way, madam, don't scare yourself." It's fine if there is an accident in the capital, but if something happens to the Han family, it will be a big deal.

Yuxi got up immediately, went to the front yard to look for Yunqing, and said, "Is there any news from the capital?" This is the disadvantage of being too far apart, and you can't know anything in time.

Yun Qing shook his head and said, "No. What's wrong?"

Yuxi expressed her worries: "I'm worried that something happened to the Han family." This situation is very wrong. Yuxi intuitively felt that something had happened.

Yun Qing thought that Yuxi had got the news, but after thinking about it for a long time, he turned out to be thinking wildly: "The rebel army made a rebellion, the route was cut off, it's normal that the letter was not delivered in time. I guess it won't be long before I can receive the letter."

Yu Xi said: "I hope!"

In order to prevent Yu Xi from thinking wildly, Yun Qing immediately said something to divert his attention, and said, "According to the time, Ji Xuan should have started a war with Peng Lianggong and the others. Do you think Ji Xuan can win? "

He had heard a lot about the war from Yunqing, and he knew something about it. Yu Xi frowned, and said: "The morale of the rebel army is high, the number of the two armies is not much different, and the rebel army has occupied a favorable terrain, Ji Xuan can't take advantage of it for the time being. But it will not be so after a long time." Ji Xuan After all, he is the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and has the authority to transfer to the local army. The troops on Ji Xuan's side were lost, and there was still a reserve army to fill them in, but one of the rebels died and one was missing.

Yun Qing took out the map of the northwest, pointed to a location and said, "As long as these places are breached, you can insert yourself among the rebels."

Yu Xi didn't really understand this map, so she asked directly: "And then?"

Yun Qing said with a smile: "They are all inserted among them, what else is there?" The enemy army suddenly fell from the sky, and the morale of the army will be unstable. Once the morale of the army is unstable, there is no need to fight this battle.

Yuxi asked with a wooden face: "How did you know that this place is a breakthrough?" This is very evil, okay!

Yun Qing smiled, and said: "This breakthrough was told by the army to Yu Cong. However, the premise is that the rebels did not expand outward." If they expand outward, this place will be covered, and there will be no breakthrough.

Yu Xi asked: "Would Ji Xuan not know about such an obvious flaw?" Why did Ji Xuan feel bad.

Yun Qing looked at the map and said: "If Ji Xuan has this ability, the Northwest will not be ruled by him and there will be bandits everywhere. Since Ji Xuan became the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, he has never personally led troops to fight. The Northwest suppressed bandits mainly by relying on Two people, one is Bao Xiaofan and the other is Chen Wei. Bao Xiaofan is dead, now he can only rely on Chen Wei. And Chen Wei has the ability to fight, but he is too cautious." It is impossible to annihilate the whole army if Chen Wei is sent.

Hearing this, Yu Xi said: "If Bao Xiaofan hadn't been deceived by her beauty, the whole army would not have been wiped out." Therefore, the victory or defeat of a battle is not judged solely by the strength of the troops.

Yun Qing didn't argue with Yu Xi about this, and said: "It's November now, if the battle cannot be resolved quickly, the war will be delayed until next year. If the war lasts too long, it will be bad for both sides." This is a rebuttal After Yu Xi said that the prolonged war would be beneficial to Ji Xuan.

Yuxi's thinking is different from Yunqing's: "The longer the war, the better." In this way, both sides have huge losses. In this way, they can reap the benefits.

Yun Qing said: "If that's the case, we won't be able to justifiably send troops." If the two sides are stalemate, it is impossible for the imperial court to order him to lead troops to suppress the rebellion.

Yuxi said: "Regardless of whether there is a transfer order or not, we will send troops before February next year." If the two sides are stalemate, sending troops around February is the best opportunity.

Seeing that Yun Qing didn't speak, Yu Xi said: "If you want to send troops justifiably, then help the rebels and use surprise soldiers to attack Ji Xuan's army." In this way, the rebels will win.

Yun Qing was unwilling, and said: "If that's the case, why don't you just send troops directly." Stabbing a knife in the back is the method he disdains the most.

Yuxi was a little helpless, neither this nor that. Yuxi said: "If the imperial court doesn't issue an order, you won't send troops?" In fact, this kind of behavior, to put it bluntly, can only be delayed for a while. Yuxi really has a headache about this.

Yun Qing said: "If the time really comes, I will send troops."

Yu Xi sighed, and said: "The war opportunity is fleeting, you know this better than me." No matter how much, Yu Xi didn't want to say anything, she said everything that should be said.

Yun Qing put his hand on Yu Xi's shoulder and said, "I have a sense of proportion." In fact, he has already formulated several sets of plans, which are all in response to unexpected situations, but he didn't tell Yu Xi. Because he didn't want to use these plans unless he had to.

Yuxi has a deep understanding of Yunqing's stubbornness, and said: "It's good that you have a sense of proportion. The school will start in these two days, and I have to ask Hao Dazhuang about some things."

Yunqing didn't stop Yuxi from doing things, Yuxi had something to do, not only would she stop thinking wildly, but she was also in a good state of mind.

Before Hao Dazhuang arrived, he heard that Qiu, the maid next to Grandma Fu, came to ask to see her. When Yuxi heard Chen Shi, she frowned, and said, "Let Mother Qu go see her and see what's going on!" Yuxi was very tired of Chen Shi, and she didn't want to meet her people. Mother Qu is the stewardess of the inner courtyard, and asking her to meet the servant girl of the Fu family is also difficult to be polite.

After a while, Mother Qu came over and said, "Ma'am, Mrs. Chen's fetus has moved, and I want to ask Mother Qu to come over and take a look."

Yuxi didn't get angry because of Chen's fetal gas, and said lightly: "If the fetus is unstable, you should ask the doctor, and Mama Lan is not a doctor. What's the use of letting her go?" Regarding Chen's behavior, Yuxi Hee is annoying.

Mother Qu said: "Chen probably thinks that Mother Lan is more useful than a doctor!" Mother Lan is good at taking care of pregnant women and children, but she doesn't know how to see a doctor. It's useless to find Mama Lan when the tire is gasping.

Yuxi smiled lightly, and said: "On weekdays, she looks down on me in all kinds of ways, as if she wished she could get rid of me. This will hurt you, but you can let go of yourself." Chen's Attitude, how can escape Yuxi's eyes, but Yuxi doesn't care about her.

Qu's mother said: "This is the disadvantage of marrying a daughter-in-law from the wrong family." If Fu Tianlei married a girl from an official family, even if he didn't have the same temperament, he would still share his affection for the sake of the good relationship between the two families. It's round. But Mrs. Chen acts according to her own likes and dislikes.

Yuxi smiled and said: "This is a bit biased. In fact, birth is not the most important thing, the most important thing is character and ability." Yuxi thinks that Chen's character is not good, and he is very selfish and selfish. people.

Mother Qu nodded in agreement, and asked, "Ma'am, what should we do now? Let Mama Lan go?" In fact, Mama Qu knew in her heart that Mama Lan would definitely leave this time.

Yuxi said: "Let Mama Lan go! Otherwise, if the child is lost, Fu Tianlei will blame me at that time, but I will be in a panic. However, you tell Mama Lan that she must do it today. Go back to the residence." It's okay to go for half a day, but it won't work after a long time.

Mother Lan came back in the evening, and spoke back to Yuxi, saying, "Ma'am, Grandma Fu's pregnancy was saved. But the doctor said that Grandma Fu was too weak and had to stay in bed to raise the baby."

Mother Lan is her own person, and Yuxi has no scruples, and asked: "Grandma Fu is more than six months old, can you tell what kind of girl she is pregnant with?"

Mother Lan said: "Grandma Fu has a sharp belly, so it is likely to be a son." After hesitating for a while, Mother Lan said: "But Grandma Fu is too weak, so the child may not be able to survive. It's also a gate of hell." As for the baby in the womb will be weak, Mother Lan didn't say that.

Yu Xi shook her head and said, "Go and see Zao Zao!"

After Lan Mama's afternoon, Yuxi gently touched her stomach. Speaking of which, the child in her womb was one month older than Chen's, but Mother Lan never told her the gender. Only when she thinks that she is carrying a girl in her womb will Mama Lan keep silent. Fortunately, Yuxi was already mentally prepared, so she was not too disappointed.

When Yun Qing walked into the room, he saw Yu Xi talking to himself, and immediately said with a smile: "Why are you talking to yourself?"

Yuxi gave Yunqing a white look, and said: "Who said I was talking to myself, I was talking to the child in my stomach!"

Yun Qing smiled and asked: "The child is more than seven months old, and it's time to name it! What do you think is a good name?"

Yuxi said: "You choose the big name, and I will choose the nickname." As for what nickname to give the child, Yuxi decided to wait until she was born to choose it. Although he suspected that the child in his stomach was a girl, he was not born after all.

Yun Qing didn't delay, and said, "Just call me Ruiqi!"

Yuxi laughed, Ruiqi meant to be quiet and well-behaved. Yun Qing guessed that Zao Zao had a headache because of the trouble, so he hoped that his second daughter would be quiet and well-behaved. Yuxi shook her head and said: "This name has a good meaning, but it's a bit awkward to pronounce, so it won't work."

This name was only found out by Yunqing after reading many books. This will be denied by Yuxi, and he has to think about it again, he has a headache.

Yu Xi said with a smile: "Think slowly, don't worry." Zao Zao's name was thought of by Mr. Yun a long time ago, and it cannot be changed. Don't give the child's name in the belly, you can think about it slowly. R8
