The ancestor of the apocalypse is so cool after being reborn!

"Oh." Xia Jing responded lightly.

"Princess, our Changsha County has a huge population base, but there are not many young and middle-aged people. This is conscription." Jin Zupei changed the topic again.

Xia Jing waved her hand, signaling him not to continue. Seeing that he shut up knowingly, she said seriously: "Under the whole world, is it the king's land; on the shore of the land, is it the king's minister. It stands to reason that I am in any Why does the governor of the county want to obstruct the conscription in every state? How can the current troubled times be ended without conscription? How can Dayu talk about the development of people's livelihood and the prosperity of the country?"

"Princess, Your Majesty"

"Sheriff, there are some things I don't like to say twice!"

Do these local officials in the world really think of themselves as the emperor's courtiers?Or do they want to fish in troubled waters and make the soldiers and horses of Changsha County stronger?
If Jin Zupei thought he could stop her, he was wrong.

It is not in Xia Jing's character to give up when encountering a little obstacle. Jin Zupei's obstruction will only make her more determined to conscript in Changsha County.

Conscription continued, and Xia Jing sent a letter to Jiankang on the second day, saying that since Changsha County was planning to fill up the soldiers, the Jingzhou soldiers who were transferred to Jiankang would not even think about coming back, and it would be most appropriate to directly defend Jiankang.

In Xia Jing's hands, there used to be about soldiers in Lingnan, and about were stationed overseas.

Some time before departure, Xia Jing recruited about 7 soldiers in Lingnan, and after subtracting the soldiers directly under Sima Lu who stayed in Lingnan, the total number of soldiers who came to Jingzhou this time was about .

Including servants and housekeepers, there are about 8 people.

Xia Jing stayed in Changsha County for five days and recruited 13 soldiers, which was barely .

Leading 10,000+ people across the river, Yuan Rujiang, the governor of Jingzhou, was already waiting on the other side of the river.

On a painting boat by the Jiangling River.

The sound of silk and bamboo, and the mist of tea.

Through the lingering mist, Xia Jing looked at Yuan Rujiang who was serious about washing tea: "Why did Master Yuan come down to Jiangling?"

Yuan Rujiang looked up at her, with a smile on his lips: "I have admired the princess for a long time, and I heard that the princess passed by Jingzhou, so I deliberately took a boat down the river and came down to Jiangling, just to have a chance to chat with the princess."

After hearing what he said, Xia Jing laughed it off.

Yuan Rujiang is in charge of Jingzhou, a land of fish and rice, with great power in the military and government. At first, she thought he was a rough man on horseback, but she didn't want him to receive special treatment from the years.

Dressed in a long robe, he is personable, especially a pair of wise eyes, which have been smiling ever since we met.

It was a far cry from the image of a man she had imagined.

"Why, the princess doesn't believe that this official came to greet you on purpose?"

Xia Jing smiled and shook her head: "My concubine never believed that someone could come from afar just to have a simple conversation with me."

Yuan Rujiang did not follow her words, but turned to look at the musicians who were playing.

"Princess, have you heard this song before?"

Xia Jing smiled at the corner of her mouth: "Thank you, Lord Yuan, for your kindness. I was brought up by my concubine, and I don't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, let alone appreciating music. I'm afraid it will disturb Lord Yuan's interest."

The corners of Yuan Rujiang's mouth twitched slightly, "The humble minister is not proficient either."

"The nobles of aristocratic families don't make a living by this. You don't need to be proficient, as long as you know how to appreciate it is enough!"

"My concubine is right. Listening to what you said, Weichen has found an excuse in his heart for not studying rhythm seriously when he was a child."

Xia Jing looked at him, her eyes narrowed slightly with a smile, "Master Yuan is really funny, after so many years in the officialdom, it is not easy to maintain such an optimistic attitude, it is simply a clean stream in the officialdom."

Yuan Rujiang laughed loudly when he heard the words: "My concubine is ridiculous!"

"Speaking of officialdom, what is Master Yuan's opinion on the current situation in the world? Can we chat casually?" Xia Jing picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

Yuan Rujiang picked up the teapot, helped Xia Jing refill tea, and refilled another cup for himself, "The emperor relieved the siege of Jiankang, made the rebels flee, and helped the society in danger. As long as the monarch and ministers are of one mind, I believe that in the near future, Dayu The world will be peaceful, the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe.”

After hearing what he said, Xia Jing cursed inwardly: "Old fox!"

This compliment is tantamount to not saying it.

"Speaking of the unity of the monarch and his ministers, my concubine happens to have something to discuss with you."

After hearing her words, Yuan Rujiang smiled: "Princess Wang wants to talk about food and grass?"

He had been mentally prepared before he came. The 10,000+ army passed by Jingzhou. No matter what, he had the responsibility to raise food and grass for her. Instead of being passive, it is better to take the initiative to send it to the door, so that the princess will remember him.

It's just that Xia Jing listened to his words, instead of nodding, she shook her head with a smile.

Seeing this, Yuan Rujiang's heart skipped a beat, and then his heart beat a little too fast, giving him a bad premonition.

Sure enough, Xia Jing said: "It's not a matter of food and grass, but a matter of borrowing troops."

"Borrowing soldiers?" Yuan Rujiang thought they were borrowed soldiers from the last time Jiankang was sieged, "When Jiankang is sorted out, the emperor will let them come back."

Xia Jing smiled and shook her head, "When did you pay back the borrowed soldiers last time? It's Li Jingfu's business. The borrowed soldiers we are talking about today are borrowed from you in the name of my concubine."

"The concubine borrowed troops?" Yuan Rujiang couldn't keep up with Xia Jing's rhythm for a while.

This time, I took the troops from the palace to Jiankang, so many soldiers and horses were not enough, and I had to borrow troops from him.

Borrowing troops from him is to go to Jiankang to seize the throne?
For a moment, Yuan Rujiang was overthinking it.

Xia Jing pointed to the surface of the river outside the painting boat, "If my concubine wants to go south to Jiankang, she will take a boat and go down the river directly on the opposite side. Does it still take a lot of trouble to come to Jiangling?"

Yuan Rujiang asked softly: "Then the princess wants to borrow troops?"

Xia Jing rested her chin on one hand, grinned and said, "Of course I want to go north and go straight to Huanglong!"

Yuan Rujiang looked at her in astonishment, his lips moved a few times, "."

This... This is really a toad yawning, what a big tone!
If the rebels in the north were so easy to wipe out, they would have been wiped out long ago, so there would be no such thing as her!

Xia Jing raised a finger: "Second a strong army, at least troops."

Yuan Rujiang was a little speechless, "Princess, although Jingzhou has a vast territory, there are 5 soldiers and horses in all the guards. You just said that it is . Do you know that soldiers and horses are basically all Jingzhou can mobilize?" of troops."

"Master Yuan, when the country is in crisis, it is not a time to care about personal gains and losses. As the authorities, we should look at the overall situation and put the country's interests first!"

"The rise and fall, everyone is responsible!"

What Xia Jing said was awe-inspiring, if Yuan Rujiang was a brat, maybe she would really be persuaded by her, and he would really agree with the heat of his head.

But now Yuan Rujiang has passed the age of passion and impulsiveness, and he is more thoughtful about things.

"Will the princess lead the army to fight?"

The problem is very real.

Xia Jing may be very experienced fighting alone, but she dare not say that she can lead a dozen or 20 soldiers and horses in battle.

"My concubine only controls the overall situation, and the specific strategic arrangements are naturally in the charge of the generals leading the army. Don't worry, Master Yuan."

Yuan Rujiang thought hehe and sneered, "How can it be so simple to lead troops in battle? Although I understand a little bit about the feelings of family and country that the princess said, I dare not take the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers at will."

Xia Jing was mentally prepared for Yuan Rujiang's refusal, "Since Master Yuan is worried about my concubine, you can let your general lead this team, and we will go to the battlefield together to defend against foreign enemies."

As long as Yuan Rujiang is still Dayu's courtier, he cannot refuse this request, unless he wants to rebel or seek refuge with Prince Ning and Emperor Ming, otherwise, he will never be able to pass the hurdle of class.

A courtier is a courtier, and the will is something they never dare to blatantly disobey.

After a day's rest in Jiangling, Xia Jing announced that the team would continue to march north. Instead of dragging their feet all the way north, whoever didn't want to go could go directly south by boat in Jiangling to meet King Qian in Jiankang.

After Xia Jing said this, everyone went from being shocked at the beginning to being ready to move now. It seemed that many people were unwilling to go north and wanted to go south by boat.

Going south to Jiankang is equivalent to enjoying the glory and wealth again. In the face of the enjoyment of glory and wealth, regardless of the chaos in the world, they all stand aside.

Few normal people can bear the raging flames of war, but letting Xia Jing go to Jiankang to intrigue, it is better to go to the battlefield and shed her blood.

So Xia Jing is going to lead troops northward to attack Beidi, drive Beidi back to the grassland, and then encircle with Yangzhou soldiers and horses, and attack back and forth to wipe out the rebels in the three prefectures of Henan, Qing, and Yan, lest they go to the scourge again. Other state capitals affected.

The plan is perfect, but there are many things in life that require countless times of effort to achieve.

This time the stepsons performed better than last time, at least only Li Chengzhan was willing to go south. He was a weak scholar and afraid of water, so he finally returned.

Of course, the stupid boss Li Cheng didn't count. He was a patient, so he was naturally escorted by Li Chengzhan and led his family members down the river.
-
The 20 troops passed through Jingmen and went straight to Shiyan.

From Shiyan, you can reach the Gyeonggi area. The Beidi soldiers and horses who have been entrenched in Gyeonggi have never imagined that Dayu's country is full of chicken feathers, and they dare to send troops to attack Gyeonggi.

Unprepared and unexpectedly, Xia Jing led the army to advance triumphantly all the way, taking three counties in the Gyeonggi area in a row.

I went to three counties out of ten counties in the Gyeonggi region, which is really unexpected.

"Princess, the three counties to the south of the capital have been captured by us. We don't need to attack the other counties one by one. As long as we capture the capital in the middle, the other counties will be destroyed without attacking. Beidi soldiers and horses will flee with the defeated soldiers and horses."

Feng Tu analyzed the current situation to Xia Jing.

Sha Yuliang pondered for a while and said: "The capital is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Moreover, soldiers and horses from several counties have fled to the capital, which means that the strength of the capital has increased, and they have prepared themselves. It will be more difficult for us to attack."

"In any case, since we have taken this step, we must find a way to take back the capital." Xia Jing looked at everyone: "There are always more solutions than difficulties, and everyone must use their brains."

At the same time, in the imperial palace of the capital, Beidi generals gathered together, also discussing how to deal with the next battle.
"Da Yu's concubine is full of food. This season has just been planted in spring, and it is not yet autumn. Why did she lead the army to attack us?" Mo Rigen, the general of Beidi, was angry and a little bit unable to think of the enemy. motivation to attack.

Siqin, the Eighth Prince's aide, stroked his beard and said, "There is enough food and grass in the Central Plains. They will not worry about the lack of food and grass when sending troops abroad, and they will not abide by the principle of provoking trouble after the autumn harvest."

This is not a prairie, and they cannot use the thinking of a prairie to think about problems.

At this time, the eighth prince said, "He who comes is not kind, and those who are kind don't come. I heard that this man who is a princess has already ascended the throne in Jiankang. She is here to attack the Gyeonggi area at this time. Obviously she wants to recover the lost land.

Now we are besieged in the city, but don't forget that we just shipped a batch of grain back to the grassland a few days ago.There is not enough food and grass in the city now, if Dayu's soldiers and horses surround us here for ten and a half months, what will happen to everyone's living environment? "

For Beidi people who are used to living in yurts, they are not very comfortable living in the capital. In fact, they hope to return to the grassland to live.

Living in the capital, even if you want to fight on horseback, you can't shake your arms.

"Then what does Your Highness think we should do?" Mo Zhigen asked.

The Eighth Prince expressed his thoughts, "In order to preserve our strength, we retreated to the grassland to recharge our batteries. The Central Plains will not be quiet for a few years. Why don't we make room for them to fight dogs and wait for them to win? Take advantage of one party's weakness and give him another blow!"

The staff nodded after hearing this: "Before we leave, we will search the capital again, hoping to bring back more food and grass."

It's just a pity that it's not after the autumn harvest, otherwise they could bring more food back.

Bu He, who had been silent all this time, said, "Don't worry, we can come back to rob after the autumn harvest and prepare more supplies for the winter. I believe that as long as we are well prepared, living in the grasslands is no worse than in the Central Plains!"

Hearing this, the Eighth Prince didn't answer, but frowned slightly, "It's still early before the end of the year, so don't worry about anything, everyone will take everything you can to the grassland. Especially the slaves we captured, All of them are good at farming, and getting them back can just help us plant some land in the grassland."

"Before we leave, do we need to set fire to burn this capital, and it will be just a burnt shell if Emperor Dayu snatches it?" Mo Zhigen came up with such an idea suddenly .

The Eighth Prince shook his head: "Sooner or later, we will fight back the capital. If we burn the capital, it will harm others and benefit ourselves. There is no need to bear the eternal infamy and do such a thing that harms morality."

"Your Highness is right, we will attack one day, and the losses will not be ours, the ruins will be destroyed, and none of us will build them."

Everyone imagined the future, as if it was easy for them to invade the Gyeonggi area.

The Gyeonggi area is the back garden where they come and go whenever they want.

If Xia Jing knew what they were thinking, she really wanted to set off thousands of firecrackers to thank them.

Thank them for being so confident and taking the initiative to return the capital to them.

Of course, they had caused troubles in the capital for more than a year, and they wanted to leave so easily, not to mention Xia Jing, even the soldiers would not agree.
