Chapter 053
The sky in the southern border was very clear, and before one knew it, the sun was already in the sky.
Ye Shuyan looked at the sunlight seeping into the room, and said to Xiao Luochen, "It's already noon, why hasn't Big Brother come back from his tour?"
Xiao Luochen said with a smile: "You can't be sloppy about patrolling the camp. It must be handled carefully. In addition to the current situation, you need to be more careful. At this hour, Xiaoshu is hungry. All the way to the southern border, the way is not good. Eaten."
"Okay, let's go to the dining room to see what delicious food the mansion has prepared today." Saying that, Ye Shuyan got up from the bed, and then pulled Xiao Luochen outside.
The servant waiting outside saw the two people coming out, and asked quickly: "Where are you going, my lord and my concubine? The front hall is already preparing meals, and the servant outside said that the general is coming back soon."
Ye Shuyan said directly: "Already preparing meals?"
"Yes, the general gave orders when he went out earlier, saying that the prince and concubine are coming all the way, and the meals on the way must be free, so I asked the servants to prepare well."
Hearing what this servant said, Ye Shuyan looked at Xiao Luochen.
Xiao Luochen smiled, "Since Han Xun is so thoughtful, let's go directly to the front hall. Didn't he say he will be back soon? If so, let's go there and wait for him."
Ye Shuyan, of course, followed Xiao Luochen's words, and the two went from the backyard to the front hall together. When they arrived here, they saw the food and wine prepared on the dining table, "This is what I like to eat."
Xiao Luochen raised his hand and gently patted the little guy's head, "I know my younger brother is coming, so of course being a big brother makes people prepare for what you like."
"However, logically speaking, if my husband and I come to the southern border, it can be regarded as my husband accompanying me back to my mother's house. Even if it is preparation, it should be preparing for my husband's favorite food."
"Xiaoshu loves to eat, so I do." Xiao Luochen said steadily.
Ye Shuyan was about to speak when he suddenly heard a voice from outside, "You two are very tired, and you really don't hide it at all."
Xiao Luochen looked at the people who came in, but he hugged Ye Shuyan into his arms, and said solemnly: "What's the matter, we are a legitimate couple, we love each other as much as we like."
"All right, all right, what you said is right." Ye Hanxun said lightly, "Okay, lunch is ready, so don't be restrained, sit down and eat, there are not as many rules in the southern border as in the imperial capital .”
After Ye Shuyan sat down, he looked at his elder brother and said, "Brother, I'll come with you, you won't blame me for causing trouble, right?"
"Fool, how can a brother blame his own brother for causing trouble for him?" Ye Hanxun said with a smile, "Besides, if you come with me, it will make some people feel more at ease, lest one is in the south and the other In the imperial capital, if you can’t see each other every day and worry about it, it’s better to come together, it’s more worry-free, and you won’t worry about it when you do things.”
Of course, Ye Shuyan could hear this, his elder brother was talking about Xiao Luochen, and he only said shallowly, "Brother, let's start eating, I'm hungry."
Ye Hanxun picked up his chopsticks, "Okay, let's eat, let's not talk about it."
Xiao Luochen put the vegetables directly into Ye Shuyan's bowl with the first chopsticks, "Xiaoshu eat more."
Ye Shuyan nodded, "My husband also eats."
"Although we don't have so many rules here in the imperial capital, you two should eat well when you eat. There are so many friends and relatives at the dinner table." Ye Hanxun said in a calm voice, "Also, Luo Chen, hurry up and have dinner , some military affairs still need to be handled together.”
"Brother, what about me?"
"Why, after going to the imperial capital, and now returning to the southern border, do you still need the company of your elder brother? I grew up here since I was a child, and I'm not familiar with the book?"
"No, it's not because I'm too familiar with it that I feel that it's boring to be alone. If it's okay, brother, can I go with you too? I promise, I'll just sit quietly next to you, what do you say? Don’t say anything, absolutely don’t disturb your discussion of business, I don’t want to be alone, big brother, can you?”
"Yes, yes." Ye Hanxun couldn't do anything about acting like a baby with his younger brother, so he agreed.
"Okay, eat seriously." After Ye Shuyan got the consent, he didn't say anything and just concentrated on eating.
Xiao Luochen watched, smiled lightly, and continued to eat.
For a while, the meal is over.
The three of them came out of the Marquis' Mansion together, and went directly to the meeting hall specially set up for discussing military matters in the southern border.
Ye Shuyan has been in the southern region since he was a child. Of course he knows this place, but he has never been here, because he has never been interested in this kind of thing before. In addition, his father used to take care of this military affairs, and his elder brother later took care of it. If he takes over, his elder brother will have full authority to handle it. He, he doesn't have to put his mind on it at all. Today, it is because Xiao Luochen is here that he has some ideas. After all, he stays alone in the Hou's mansion. It's too boring.
Walking into this meeting hall, at this moment, the main generals guarding the southern border are all present in this hall, and when they saw them coming, they all stepped forward to greet them.
Xiao Luochen looked at the people in front of him, and said, "This king is here for the military affairs of the southern border. In the southern border, you must know better than this king. This king is involved, so, All these etiquettes will be waived in the future.”
Ye Hanxun then said: "The regent also often came to the southern border in the past, he was too restrained, and he is not like us generals. The most important thing is to handle everything properly, understand?"
"Understood." Everyone agreed in unison.
Ye Shuyan saw his husband and elder brother discussing with those people over there, so of course he followed what he said before and found a seat next to him. After all, he really didn't know anything about these things. Anyway, what he heard them talking about was It was very lively, listening to it, he was sitting here, leaning on this armchair, unexpectedly fell asleep unconsciously.
Here, everyone is doing very detailed discussions.
Ye Hanxun said to Xiao Luochen: "In the past two days, our spies have learned that on the Southern Chu side, their rear is constantly delivering military rations to the front line."
"The so-called 'soldiers and horses before moving food and grass', Han Xiu wantonly stationed troops on this border to ensure that everything is safe, so how can there be less food and grass, but how the national power of Southern Chu can compete with us, he is obviously clear Yes, he is advancing at such a fast speed because he wants to break through the southern border in the shortest possible time, otherwise, he won't be able to afford it at all." Xiao Luochen said coldly.
"What the prince said is very true. According to the detailed work of our Qianran Nanchu, since Han Xiu stationed troops, Nanchu has requisitioned food wantonly. The people of Nanchu are actually miserable. If so, their food and grass will be cut off. In two days, Han Xiu's army was completely defeated."
Xiao Luochen continued, "So, Han Xiu will never allow such a thing to happen. Presumably he will officially declare war on us soon, but our plan is to solve the biggest trouble with the least loss."
Ye Hanxun said in a low voice: "That's right, we are not afraid of fighting head-on, but when two armies fight, there will always be damage. He wants to declare war. We pretend to confront him head-on, but in fact we go around and cut off his food. Han Xiu wants Going north, but the people of Southern Chu didn’t want to, the constant collection of grain, taxation, and corvee is a life-threatening existence. Who doesn’t want to be safe and sound? Han Xiu thinks he has the power of soldiers and horses, but he doesn’t know that this is the most important thing to rule the world. It's still Liming people, as long as Han Xiu opens his mouth to declare war, we will call him internal troubles and foreign troubles, and their food supply is not in time, we wait for work with leisure, and it is clear at a glance who loses and who wins."
"What the general said is very true."
Xiao Luochen listened to these plans and discussions, and turned his head to look at Ye Shuyan who was sitting in the next cubicle, and he was already asleep. These arrangements were planned when he was in the imperial capital, but now, they are very detailed. Besides, with Ye Han around, there was nothing to worry about.
He motioned to the people in front of him to discuss on their own, and then he walked over to Ye Shuyan and sat down slowly. It seemed that he was traveling all the way from the imperial capital to the southern border, and he didn't take a good rest on the way. The little guy fell asleep like this.
Ye Shuyan was in a drowsy sleep, and vaguely sensed someone beside him. He immediately opened his eyes, saw Xiao Luochen sitting next to him, and asked, "Isn't my husband discussing military affairs with them? Why are you here? Stay here, it's okay, you just go to deal with the business."
"In fact, these things in Nanchu are just some people who think they can do something, and they are still ready to make a move. Little do they know, the outcome has long been determined. After several years of stability, they just want to offend again. This time, Let them fully understand what stupid behavior is, I came to the southern border to cooperate with Han Xun's plan, and also to plan after the matter is over."
"The plan after the end?" Ye Shuyan was puzzled, and pondered for a while, "My husband means that after they are defeated, we have to rearrange everything in the Southern Chu. The Southern Chu is no longer the Southern Chu, but just under our Northern Zhou Dynasty. vassal, is that so?"
"Xiao Shu is really smart."
"Where is my cleverness, it's all your plans." Ye Shuyan smiled.
Xiao Luochen reached out and grabbed Ye Shuyan's little hand, and patted it lightly, "Han Xun is watching over here, and the discussion just now is similar. In the past few days, Xiaoshu hasn't had a good rest. Why don't we just Go back first, Xiaoshu has a good sleep."
"No, I just sat here and listened to what you talked about. I didn't quite understand what I was listening to. I was sleepy because I was so tired after a long journey. Let's wait for big brother Let's go back when we go back to the house together, it's not good to come here for a while, and you're leaving." Ye Shuyan said with some embarrassment.
"Okay, Xiaoshu has the final say, wait for Han to find a piece, and then we will go back home."
Ye Shuyan looked over there, "Then husband, go over there, I'll just stay here, I guess I'll fall asleep again after listening to it for a while."
"Okay." Xiao Luochen smiled faintly, then got up and went over.
