The year has passed several days, but I don’t know if the Northern Liao will continue to attack. I persist until February. If the Northern Liao does not send troops, it is estimated that this year will be over.

Why do we say that if we persist until February, we can confirm that the Northern Liao Dynasty will not send troops? This is a consensus. All ethnic groups in the grassland have that the war starts only in autumn and winter. There is no way, spring and summer are not suitable for fighting, and sometimes it is too cold in late winter. For example, if the snow is too heavy, supplies and supplies are transported too slowly in the snow. Once the supply is cut off, you will be defeated in less than three days. It is not suitable for fighting in spring and summer, because the grass is growing and the birds are flying in the season for grazing. The war affects grazing, and can only send troops in autumn and winter.

The Central Plains does not like to send troops in summer, which does not mean that they cannot send troops. After all, there are many people who go to fight in summer. The main reason is that corpses are difficult to deal with, which is easy to cause diseases and plagues. What are the most afraid of the generals? Are they afraid of too many deaths? Of course not. Those who are kind-hearted cannot control the troops, and those who are the generals can do it. What they are really afraid of is that malaria spreads infinitely in the army, which is not something that human forces can compete with. Once the signs of plague appear, they must withdraw immediately regardless of the victory or defeat of the war.

The reason why medical soldiers are the safest branches is that the enemy cannot attack medical soldiers. If they can be medical soldiers, it means that they are military doctors. Of course, no country does not have a military doctor. It can be said that medical soldiers are military doctors, responsible for handling corpses, treating wounded soldiers, quarantine, and not responsible for fighting and killing people. No matter how fierce the war is, the corpses need to be dealt with after the battle. If the enemy is defeated and withdrawn, then all the corpses will be handled by one side. If both sides retreat after the war, then their bodies will be dealt with separately. For example, one side is defeated and the other side does not let the people go, which is a red eye. I don’t know how deep the hatred is, and there is no one to deal with the corpses, which can easily cause a great plague.

A hundred years ago, the Emperor of Beisha was furious and killed one million surrendered soldiers from the Three Kingdoms coalition forces in the West. The main reason was that the Three Kingdoms did not abide by the rules and attacked the five subordinates of Beisha and killed one by one, causing a great plague. Millions of people died of illness in the five countries within a few years. After the Northern Sha Empire defeated the three empires, they even killed all the soldiers and generals, and five or six generals of the three empires did not escape.

There are also examples in the Eastern countries. Eight hundred years ago, 300,000 troops of Xinyue Kingdom attacked Nanyue Kingdom and launched a massacre. In one month, malaria broke out in the entire Yue city, and nearly one million people died. The King of Nanyue ran to the Northern Han Imperial City and complained to the Emperor of Northern Han. The Emperor of Northern Han sent a general Yuan Ce to lead a two million army to surround the Imperial City of Xinyue Kingdom. Yuan Ce did not start a massacre, and they were all vassal states of Northern Han, so it would be enough to put some pressure on it. In the end, Xinyue Kingdom had no choice but to withdraw his troops and hired hundreds of doctors to treat malaria in Nanyue Kingdom. The Emperor of Northern Han also ordered that the doctors across the country collectively wanted countermeasures to control the spread of malaria in Nanyue Kingdom. Of course, all the medicinal materials and labor costs were all distributed by Xinyue Kingdom. It would be impossible not to give them. He forced him to give them, and worked hard for a year and a half to control the malaria. The doctors who went to Nanyue Kingdom to treat malaria also died a hundred people.

Therefore, the final battle usually takes place more often in autumn and winter, and there are other seasons, but very few.

Speaking of the Northern Han Dynasty, when comparing the Great Wei, forty years ago, the Western Liao Dynasty launched a massacre in Shacheng. The Great Wei not only ignored it, but also blocked the levels in the end, which really corresponds to the old saying: the strong set the rules, and the weak follow the rules. (It's too far-fetched, come back immediately)

It will take February to determine whether the Northern Liao will continue to send troops, so they will not return to Yuzhou. If he just moved his feet and Northern Liao and followed him to fight again, he would cry without tears. But it would be impossible for him to wait in Western Liao for two months. It snowed late this winter, and it was not snowing even after the New Year, but the weather was surprisingly cold. He took the fat man and the monkey to play with the Kingdom of Yushen and checked the site of the Protectorate. Before the New Year, he told He Chengfeng that after the New Year, he chose the site of the desert and asked Yang Kai to start building the Protectorate. He should not be too close to the inner circle or the outer periphery. It is easy to be exposed to wind and sand too deep, and it is too outside and cannot take into account the distance.

Looking at the vast desert, I couldn't help but sigh:

Bicycle wants to ask about the border, and the country passes by the residence of the country

The battle of the siege comes out of the Han border, and the returning geese enter the Hutian

The lonely smoke in the desert is straight, the sun sets in the long river is round

Xiaoguan meets the Houqi, and they are all protected by Yanran

——From "The Envoy to the Envoy"

The great poet Wang Wei of the previous dynasty (actually in the Tang Dynasty, I borrowed it), haha! It is quite suitable for him now. The previous dynasty established Yuzhou as the Western Regions Protectorate. He has now been added, and he has changed his name to Anxi Protectorate.

When the monkey heard him recite this poem, he sighed, "Yes! The lonely smoke in the desert is straight, and the sun sets in the long river is round."

The fat man said depressedly, "Where is the long river?"

Well, these words made him laugh, "I said fat man! Where have you read books for years? Monkeys have never read books, why is the gap so big?"

The fat man scratched his head, "I really didn't see the long river! Where are you putting it?"

The monkey also joked, "Haven't you seen the long river long ago?"

"Ah? When did I see the long river?"

Alas! He had a headache and could only explain, "This long river is about the Quhe River in the middle of our Yuzhou, the mountain city to the new city. Do you understand?"

"Ah? It's that Yellow River?" The fat man said in surprise.

Monkey smiled and said, "What? Your private school teacher hasn't told you? As I said, you might as well be like me at the beginning. Just study with the boss. It's a waste of Uncle Wei's money and go to school every day to sleep. I really admire you."

"Who said I was sleeping in school? I was meditating, you don't understand."

I was still thinking, grandma, I didn’t even know what Changhe was, where did I go? "Okay, okay! That’s what you call meditation. We all know, let’s go! Go to the Kingdom of Desire."

...

At this time, Yuzhou City and Yang Mansion.

Yang Kai had a very happy New Year because his grandson went home for the New Year this year. Moreover, he became the only third-rank prefect of the civil officials of the Great Wei Dynasty. In the whole country, except for Beijing officials, there was no third-rank administrative officer. But now he was Yang Kai, the prefect of Beitingzhou, Anxi Protectorate, and was under the third-rank official. He was unique in the entire Wei Dynasty.

At the dinner table, "Come to Xiaobao and try the beef cooked by grandma. This is an authentic grassland fat beef, which was delivered by Prince Tuoba before the New Year. Your grandfather wanted to eat it long ago, but grandma just didn't cook it, so she specially kept it for Xiaobao to come back to eat it."

Yang Kai had just picked up the wine glass and hadn't drunk it yet. When he heard his wife's words, he put the wine glass down. "I said you are old, why are you always hurting me in front of your grandson? Lao Tuo has sent dozens of kilograms. How many can I eat if I can eat?"

"Yuyou! The old man is still angry. Let's ignore him, come on, Xiaobao will take it."

The child reached out to catch the big steak and ate it in his hand, "Grandma also eats it."

"Okay, okay, Xiaobao is so good, grandma eats with Xiaobao."

...

A couple sitting opposite Yang Kai, who was in his thirties. The man looked very similar to Yang Kai. There was no need to guess that it must be Yang Xuedong, the son of Yang Kai who was the county magistrate in Luoyang.

Yang Kai picked up the wine glass again, took a sip, and said, "Is Tokyo good?"

The man put a green vegetable in his mouth and chewed it while saying, "It's very good, it's more prosperous than Yuzhou."

Yang Kai was a little angry, "Hmph! What does it have to do with you no matter how good it is? Yuzhou is your family, and your ancestors are all in Yuzhou for 18 generations."

"I don't like Yuzhou."

“Why don’t you like it?”

Listening to the conversation between the two, his tone became more and more intense. The woman next to the man hurriedly interrupted, "Dad, don't be angry, Xuedong and I live in Luoyang well."

Yang Xuedong picked up the wine glass and drank it all, "Shut up, you don't have the time to interrupt."

The woman looked at Yang Kai and the old lady, not knowing what to do.

The old lady touched the child's head and said, "Haha! I'm really old and I have a poor memory. I'm still making soup in the kitchen! My wife, go and see if I've gotten it."

"Okay, mom." The woman said and got up and walked out of the lobby.

The old lady patted the child's head, "Xiaobao, can you go to the kitchen to help your mother serve soup?"

The child grabbed the steak and nodded, "Yeah!"

When the child ran out of the lobby, the old lady frowned, "What? The old guy and the little guy are not going to celebrate the New Year, right? Well, if you want to argue, get out of the way, don't make it annoying for a meal."

Well, the two men were choked and stopped talking. Looking at Yang Kai, he said, "The child finally came back for the New Year, can't you be a father be quiet?" After that, he looked at his son, "He is a father, so you can't give in? After this year, you are 31st. Why don't you understand the truth of such an adult? Where have you been studying for more than 20 years? You are still a Jinshi in the third grade? Is that the Jinshi?"

"But mom, I really don't want to go back to Yuzhou. I'm about to be promoted in Luoyang. I'll be able to buy a house soon."

The old lady smiled and said, "Oh! Promotion? How many ranks? From the seventh rank to the seventh rank? Is the annual salary enough for Xiaobao to eat meat? I also bought a house. I can't live in such a big house at home? I said Xuedong, your father and I are old, so I hope there is someone to accompany you at home. You and your father are in Luoyang, and you are the only one in your family. Why are you not filial at all? And after the New Year, your father will also go to the desert, and then I will be the only one left at home. Wouldn't you worry about your mother?"

Yang Kai drank and didn't speak, and he didn't know what he could say. His son had never been afraid of him since he was a child, and he would start to quarrel again after interrupting.

Yang Xuedong dared to refute his father, but he didn't dare to refute his mother. But his mother said this very straightforwardly, and it was obvious that she wanted him to come back. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Why are you going to the desert to go?"

The old lady sighed, "Oh! Your father is going to choose a site in the desert after the New Year and is preparing to build a Protectorate. I guess he will be in the desert in the future, and there is not much time to come back. Protector is now short of administrative talents. Your father becomes the third-rank prefect, and he will be in the desert in the future."

Yang Xuedong was shocked and said, "Dad is the third-rank official?"

"Well, the prefect of the Anxi Protectorate, isn't it the third rank of the third rank!"

He was so shocked that he was sweating. There were only a few civil servants in the Great Wei Dynasty. There were only six clans in the third rank? There were only six clans in the six clans in the third rank. The Shangshu Ling, the Zhongshu Ling, and the second rank (the second rank of civil servants have no superiors and inferiors). Although there were many people from the first rank to the first rank, they were all empty positions (other than the Taishi and Taibao would not seize power). Those who really had real power were in the second and third ranks.

Now his father actually became the seventh third rank of the Wei Dynasty. What is the concept? Civil officials are different from military generals. There are too many third ranks of military generals. Civil officials can be recorded in history if they become the third rank, but military generals will not be recorded in history directly. Doesn’t this mean that his father is famous in history?

This is recorded in history not only when there are events, but when there are records in the beginning of the official history, a person, a certain year, or a certain month, is appointed as a third-rank position. A name will be left only when there are certain events below the third-rank, or when there are unofficial history, it will be found. Just like a military general, a third-rank general is the commander, and only when there are war events, it will be recorded. Of course, if an event below the third-rank is sufficient to be recorded in history, it will naturally be recorded.

He didn't know what to do. His father was comparable to the six ministers of the Secretariat, but he was still a small county magistrate in Luoyang. He was from the third and Jinshi and could only start from the seventh rank. The second and second ranks were from the sixth rank, and the first rank was the fifth rank. He had not been promoted to the first rank for five years in Luoyang, which was not without reason. Luoyang was Tokyo in the Great Wei Dynasty, and all the officials were full of officials. What chance would he have to get promoted? Look up at his mother, "Mom..."

The old lady knew what he was thinking, and said, "Okay, it's up to you to come back or not. Let's talk slowly! I'll go see Xiaobao." She walked out of the door and turned around and said, "Don't quarrel, you're arguing, get out of here today."

There were only two men left at the dinner table. Seeing that my father was still eating and drinking, it was difficult to speak. Since he didn't dare to speak, then Yang Kai could only say it.

"I don't want to keep you inseparable. Now Anxi is too short of administrative talents. Master Dugu asked me to bring you a message: The governor of Zhenzhou. If you want to come back, you can take office after the New Year."

"What Lord Protector said?"

"Yes, Lord Protector also said that your classmates and friends. If you have the ability, you can recommend them. The Anxi government is still empty, including three third-ranked people, waiting for you to challenge these positions." After that, he drank a drink, stood up, and walked out of the lobby.

Leaving Yang Xuedong, she sat alone at the table and thought slowly.

...

———

At this time, outside the Kingdom of Yushen City

"Haha! Boss, it will snow in this desert, I didn't expect it." The monkey was wearing a thick cowhide coat and kicked the ground with heavy snow.

Looking at the vast snow, she smiled, "It snows every year outside Modong, and it is close to Tianshan Mountain, and the snow falls even harder."

"Haha! I think we might as well build a protective palace next to this Kingdom of Desire! We can also see the snow every year."

"Haha! There must be a place next door. It depends on the strong wind and sand inside, and the ruling effect cannot be achieved through external. I originally planned to build the Protectorate Palace in the Kingdom of the God of the Desire, but the defense of the God of the Desire was too poor, so I could only go to the north to choose another location."

The monkey thought for a while, "Boss, when will we go to the Goddess Kingdom? It's so snowing, I guess the Northern Liao will not be here either."

"What's wrong? I want to go shopping at the safety line again?"

"Yes! I always want to go."

Seeing the monkey's expression, he was speechless for a moment. When he came back from Dongzhou to fight two battles, he felt that the monkey could still settle down. Before going to the safety line, he had to leave a guard general for Zhenzhou, and he also wanted to let the monkey be the guard general of Zhenzhou. But looking at the monkey's current appearance, he clearly didn't want to stay in Yuzhou. "Monkey, do you want to be a general, or a commander?"

The monkey didn't hesitate, "Of course I want to be the commander! Boss, you won't want me to be the commander, right? But I don't have that ability yet."

Grab a ball of snow from the ground, rub it, and roll forward. The snow ball rolled out for more than a dozen times and turned into a small snowball as big as a platoon. He said, "As long as you have motivation, you will have the ability. Some people will never be alone in their lives, and some people, as long as they give them motivation and pressure, they will soon grow into a general who will be alone. This time you go to the safety line, you don't want to go."

Hearing this sentence, the monkey was excited and fell into the ice cave in an instant. "Why? Why don't you let me go?"

Looking at the monkey, "Don't worry, listen to me first. I, General Anxi, are now all on the desert security line, and the mainland's troops are too weak, so the guards must be capable. There is Zhang He in Baling, but Zhenzhou still has fewer candidates for generals. Even if you reach the security line, it is useless. Since this is the case, it is better to stay and be a general in one state."

"But boss, there is no war in Zhenzhou at all. Can't you just send someone to? Why do you have to stay?"

"You don't understand. There is no war in Zhenzhou at present. But if the Northern Army regrets that it wants to take Zhenzhou back, what should we do then? We were still in the desert at that time and couldn't get back at all. This Zhenzhou has no general who can stand alone. Do you think it can still be defended?" After saying that, he patted the monkey's shoulder and continued, "Go to Zhenzhou! Helping me to guard the Anxi gateway is also helping me to guard the Central Plains channel. I promise that if there is a suitable candidate, I will replace you and take you to the desert to conquer the world."

The monkey was very sad and was silent for a long time, "How many troops did the boss give me? Let me be the commander, but I can't just give me a little bit of soldiers, otherwise I won't do it."

"Haha! Yuxia Pass is 20,000, Zhenzhou City, 30,000,000 troops are not enough for you to play? Before leaving, I will find a way to gather your 50,000 troops, you have to do it well. Don't let your brother go ahead and lose your Zhenzhou City, and then I won't show mercy."

"Okay, but the boss also has to keep his word. Once there is a candidate, I must replace me immediately."

"Yeah, no problem."

...
Chapter completed!
