Chapter 241 Great Realm Gate

Since the surrender of the rebels was to be accepted, Jizhou had already been reorganized, so the imperial troops stationed troops in Qinghe County at the junction of Jizhou and Qingzhou.

And Xia Jing took her own thousand-horse bodyguard to Youzhou to accept the surrender of the rebels.

The queen ran to Youzhou with great fanfare, and the governor of Youzhou brought officials of all sizes from Youzhou to Fanyang County on the border between Jizhou and Youzhou to welcome her personally.

Ye Fei looked at the big and small officials standing outside the city from afar, and said to Xia Jing with a smile: "Master, the governor of Youzhou seems to be more troublesome than the governor of Jizhou. We didn't have such treatment when we went to Jizhou."

The governor of Youzhou brought officials from the jurisdiction to the border county to welcome him personally. At least his attitude was unmistakable, and Ye Fei was very satisfied with it.

Xia Jing heard the words and looked at the gate of the city in the distance. There were dense crowds of people standing on both sides of the road, "There should not be so many officials. It seems that our Lord Inspector has notified many gentry families."

Ding Dazhuang rode behind and followed her. Hearing what she said, he said with a smile: "It is said that our Lord Inspector has a bold personality and doesn't care about trifles, but he manages the army very strictly. I just don't know if the rumor is true or not?"

Ye Fei: "The rumors should be somewhat true. It is most common for northern men to have bold personalities. As for running the army, if it were not strict, Youzhou soldiers and horses would not be famous all over the world for their elite soldiers and warriors! Especially their cavalry, then He is a unique existence in the world, even Beidi’s cavalry will retreat when they encounter him!”

Ding Dazhuang had some doubts: "Are Youzhou soldiers and horses really so powerful? Even the Beidi cavalry are afraid of them?"

"You will always have the opportunity to see it." After hearing what they said, Xia Jing also became interested. She couldn't help but clamp the horse's belly and whip her whip behind.

Seeing this, the guards behind them speeded up and followed.

Outside Fanyang County, Youzhou Governor Feng Yanrong watched Xia Jing's team speed up.

He decisively ordered: "Line up!"

Behind him stood rows of soldiers who immediately formed a team, stood up straight, and their spirits instantly lifted.

The officials who were with him also adjusted their clothes. No matter what, everyone wanted to be in their best condition to welcome the queen, and they didn't want to leave a bad impression in front of the queen.

Xia Jing, dressed in military uniform, rode in front and was the most conspicuous.

When the team arrived outside the city, the governor of Youzhou led the officials to greet the queen: "I, Feng Yanrong, the governor of Youzhou, led the officials of Youzhou to greet the queen."

The governor of Youzhou lowered his head, and Xia Jing couldn't see his face for the time being. She smiled and raised her hand: "Everyone, please get down."

"Thank you madam!"

Feng Yanrong stood up, and Xia Jing realized that he was tall. Even though his son was already an adult, he still had a beautiful face. Feng Zhang was the exact replica of him, but he had the charm of a mature man than Feng Zhang.

Xia Jing was a little surprised by such an elegant military commander.

Feng Yanrong felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Xia Jing, and coughed slightly: "I've had a long journey, please go to the city with me and rest for a while."

Xia Jing smiled and nodded: "Master Feng is interested, please invite me."

"My lady, please!"

Xia Jing followed him to the gate of the city, and noticed that the soldiers standing on both sides rushed towards their faces with awe-inspiring spirit, and she couldn't help but praise: "Lord Feng is strict in his army, and all the soldiers he leads are elite soldiers. The man from Youzhou has indeed lost his true qualities as a soldier from Dayu!"

Feng Yanrong laughed when he heard this and said: "The people of Youzhou have always been tough, and the soldiers and horses of Youzhou are not inferior to any in the world. The empress can tell at a glance that a strong general has no weak soldiers, and she has a good vision!"

"Hahaha!"

Xia Jing was amused, she didn't expect Feng Yanrong to answer like this, according to the usual responses of some officials, they must be modest and humble, low-key and low-key.

I have never met an official who dared to be complacent in front of her.

"There are no weak soldiers under a strong general. This is true! Even the rebels who caused trouble in several state capitals came to Youzhou and were only tortured. Within half a month, they were forced to surrender to the imperial court."

Feng Yanrong was slightly startled, "Is your Majesty saying that the rebels who fled to Youzhou are ready to surrender to you?"

Xia Jing nodded: "Yes, they sent someone a letter to me."

"That's it." Feng Yanrong rubbed the top of his head and said with regret: "In the past two days, I have been preparing to send troops to encircle and suppress them. I didn't expect that they were one step ahead of me and sent you a letter first. It seems that they were one step ahead of me. Encirclement and suppression are impossible, I hope that when the rebels surrender, my mother will take me with me and let me witness this historical moment."

"That's no problem." Xia Jing agreed to him.

From the simple chat, Xia Jing initially found out that Mr. Feng Yanrong had a pretty good personality, and he got along with Hao Guang.

"Since Lord Feng is planning to encircle and suppress them in these two days, he must know where they are?"

Feng Yanrong nodded: "Of course I know. These rebels are very cunning. When they enter the mountainous area, they are as slippery as fish in the sea. It is really difficult for ordinary officers and soldiers to catch their traces."

Xia Jing laughed and joked: "Their ancestors may have been reincarnated by pangolins."

"Hahaha! What I said makes sense!"

Feng Yanrong did not expect that the queen was so ungrateful, and her words and deeds were far different from the queen's requirements of this era.

After arranging the people to another courtyard, Feng Yanrong took the people away wisely.

Xia Jing rested in the other courtyard for two days, got to know the general situation in Youzhou, and followed Feng Yanrong to Daijun.

Ten days later, they arrived at Ma City in Daijun.

"Madam, the rebels are hiding in Daqing Mountain. Daqing Mountain is a section of the Yinshan Mountains. The mountains are steep and high, and the forests are dense. As long as the rebels are hiding inside, it will be very difficult for the officers and soldiers outside to destroy them." Feng Yanrong introduced. road.

Xia Jing looked at the rolling mountains in the distance, "In such a steep mountain, the rebels are still cornered by you. It can be seen that Youzhou's soldiers and horses are unparalleled in the world, and they are truly worthy of their reputation!"

Feng Yanrong grinned sillyly and did not refute.

Xia Jing looked back to the south and said with emotion: "This group of rebels is really active. They just came to Youzhou and they broke out of Juyong Pass and entered the grassland further north."

Feng Yanrong introduced: "After passing the Dajing Gate of the Dama Mountains, there is the grassland beyond the dam, and further north you enter the Beidi territory."

"Oh, then we will stay at Dajingmen this time and check the city defense situation of the border troops. You send someone to contact Zhenghe and ask him to lead his team to meet me at Dajingmen!"

By accepting the surrender this time, Xia Jing has already given them enough face.

Staying at Dajingmen was already her greatest sincerity.

Feng Yanrong took the order to go, and arranged for the soldiers to go into the mountains to deliver letters to the rebels.

The team continued to go north, heading towards Dajingmen.

Dajingmen is the most important pass connecting the grassland and the Central Plains. It guards the mouth of the valley between the two Taiping Mountains. It is an important military location in Youzhou during the Dayu Dynasty and has always been a battleground for military strategists.

This shows its important address location.

Arriving at Dajingmen, Xia Jing originally thought that the military important area should be a restricted area, but when she arrived on the ground, she was greatly surprised.The broad area in front of Dajing Gate is a market, which can also be regarded as a mutual market between herdsmen and people in the Central Plains.

Here you can see many herdsmen wearing grassland costumes, as well as businessmen wearing Central Plains costumes.

Most of them bartered to get what they needed, and few traded gold and silver.

"Your Majesty, we have come to Dajingkou. Here we can have the freedom to eat beef and mutton. For the evening banquet, I asked the general to prepare only roasted whole sheep. Can you try the difference between the mutton from the grassland and the mutton from the Central Plains?"

Everyone got off their horses, and Feng Yanrong led the horse and followed Xia Jing, introducing her as they walked.

"The customs here are very different from those in the Central Plains. Visiting here really broadens your horizons."

It was also the first time for Xia Jing to see different ethnic styles. She had never had the opportunity to see them in her previous life, and she had never been here in this life, so it was her first time to see them.

Feng Yanrong smiled: "If you like it, I can stay here for a while and experience different folk customs. Although the people in the border pass have a hard life, they also have the fun of the border pass. At least here in the border pass, the people want to eat meat. It is easier than the people of the Central Plains."

The group of people walked and chatted, and when they arrived at the city gate of Dajingkou, Xia Jing looked to the north and said, "I really want to see what this grassland looks like?"

Feng Yanrong didn't dare to answer this. If Xia Jing was just an ordinary friend, he would suggest that Xia Jing take a guard to go to the grassland. But she was a queen, and he didn't dare to speak randomly even with the head on her neck as a guarantee. .

"Father!"

"Why did you come to Dajingkou?" When Feng Yanrong saw his son, his face immediately became serious. He was not as talkative as when he was chatting with Xia Jing just now.

Xia Jing retracted her distant gaze, turned her head to look at the person, her pupils shrank slightly, "This is"

Feng Zhang leaned forward and bowed: "I, Feng Zhang, have met the Queen."

Feng Yanrong cleared her throat and introduced: "This is my unsatisfactory dog, which made the queen laugh."

Feng Zhang followed his words and smiled at Xia Jing.

Xia Jing was dazzled by his smile, but she quickly came back to her senses without leaving any trace, and said with a smile: "It turns out he is the eldest son of the Governor's Mansion. Nice to meet you!"

Fengzhang was a little confused. She saw the queen last time in Yuzhou. Could it be that the queen really couldn't remember it?

Or is she pretending that she remembers but pretends she doesn't know him?

Feng Yanrong glanced at his son's military uniform, frowned slightly and said, "Don't you always dislike fighting and killing? Why did you come to the border today and put on this armor?"

Xia Jing's mouth twitched involuntarily after hearing this, those who didn't know what he said really thought his son was an elegant young man who only knew how to love affairs.

I just don’t know if Feng Yanrong knows that his son’s martial arts skills are extremely high?

Feng Zhang looked down at his military uniform and chuckled: "I heard that my father accompanied my mother to the border, so my son couldn't help but come too, so he could witness the rebels' surrender to the imperial court."

Feng Yanrong didn't believe that his son was a person who liked to join in the fun, but for the moment he couldn't figure out the reason why he came to Dajingmen.

In front of Xia Jing, he couldn't reveal his son's secrets directly, so he could only let him get away with it and let the matter go for now.

"The tiger father has no son. I think the eldest son is also very concerned about national affairs. Sir Feng, please stop being so demanding." Xia Jing raised an eyebrow at Feng Zhang: "Your father prepared a roasted whole lamb tonight, so why don't you come here?" Well, just join us for a drink."

Feng Zhang's eyes brightened: "Oh, that would be disrespectful. Let's all have a good time tonight."

Xia Jing inspected the Dajingmen city wall once before going back to rest.

Feng Yanrong and his son sent Xia Jing away and returned to the city gate tower.

As soon as he entered the door, Feng Yanrong turned around and snorted coldly: "After tonight, leave here early tomorrow morning. Since I choose to do business, I will do your business properly. You don't need to worry about border affairs." !”

Fengzhang was furious: "Why should I listen to you? Now the Empress has the final say in Dajingmen, and she is the one who talks here!"

"Why?" Feng Yanrong pointed at Feng Zhang and said angrily: "Just because I am your father and you are my son, you have to listen to me!"

After hearing his words, Feng Zhang sneered again and again: "Why are you afraid that I will rob your son's military power? Even so, I didn't join the army, so you don't need to defend me like this at all!"

He is also the son of the Governor's Mansion and the eldest son's legitimate son, so why should you guard against him?
Bang!

Feng Zhang was so angry that he kicked over the chair Feng Yanrong was sitting on.

Feng Yanrong was startled. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise, he would have been kicked to the ground by his own son!
When he came back to his senses, he was furious: "You are a rebellious and unfilial thing, how can you treat me like this? If you kick me to the ground today and break your bones, will you be responsible?"

Feng Zhang sneered: "Are you going to fall to the ground? If you fell to the ground today, it must have been instigated by your wife. I deliberately encouraged you to label me indiscriminately, wanting to ruin my reputation and want everyone in the world to do so. They all despise me!

With such sinister intentions, she is not worthy of being the head wife of the Governor's Mansion, let alone a mother. She is simply a cancer in our Youzhou! "

"You" Feng Yanrong is so angry with this son that if he doesn't do what he wants, he will come to trouble him.

As a result, he may be the only person in the world who is angry to death from his son.

"Don't leave me alone here, hurry up and get ready, and have a nice drink with your wife tonight."

The dinner was held in the tower of Dajingmen.

The roasted lamb, arranged one day in advance, was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, juicy and juicy. When dipped in the prairie's unique sauce, the taste was unbelievably delicious.

"Mother, please try the roasted whole lamb that is unique to Dajingmen. Do you think it tastes special?"

Feng Yanrong asked the waiter to cut a piece of leg meat, put it on a plate and brought it to Xia Jing.

Xia Jing took a piece, dipped it in the grassland's special sauce, and put it in her mouth.

Xia Jing was stunned as soon as the mutton entered her mouth. "This mutton has no smell and tastes good. It is crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. It really tastes different from the roasted whole lamb in Jizhou."

Feng Zhang asked the boy to cut a mutton chop, grabbed one of the mutton chops with his hands and started to chew on it.

His actions slightly surprised Xia Jing. Such a handsome young man actually grabbed food with his hands. The scene was a sign of a broken filter.

Feng Zhang noticed her gaze and explained: "To eat grilled lamb chops, you have to grab it with your hands and nibble it to get the flavor. If you chop the lamb chops into sections, it won't have the original taste."

Xia Jing nodded, "Let's eat meat and drink tonight. Let's have fun and have fun. Don't be restrained."

As he said that, he picked up the wine and took a big sip.

The sweet glutinous rice wine tastes good, but it has a strong stamina, making it easy to get drunk accidentally.
