Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 691 Yuwen Ministries

  Compared to Old Man Ye's birthday banquet, it was a big deal for Chong Heng to lead his troops out of Beijing.

  The reason for discussing with Ye Mao just now was largely to make the old man happy. Now that the two of them sat down and talked, it was time to get down to business.

  Old man Ye was half lying on the reclining chair. After being silent for a while, he said, "According to the time, this batch of things can be delivered to Yunzhou City in at most two months."

   "At that time, it should be summer. The fighting strength of the Zhongjia Army has been maintained well, and it should be fought soon."

  Li Xin sat next to Ye Sheng, rubbing his aching shoulders, and said with a smile, "Master Ye thinks, what is the result of the fight?"

   "It depends on the attitude of the Yuwen tribes."

Ye Laotou was confident and said indifferently: "The imperial court is going to the north without thinking at this moment. Once the fight breaks out, most of Yuwen's ministries will be confused and don't know what the imperial court is going to do. If they respond quickly, The four Yuwen divisions are quickly united, and although the Chong family army may not necessarily suffer, they will certainly not be able to get better."

   Having said that, the Great Jin God of War slowly exhaled.

   "Today's Yuwen clans should be even more powerful than forty years ago. Forty years ago, the Yuwen clan was a royal family. Some of the royal family surnamed Yuwen couldn't even ride a horse. They were as comfortable as stupid pigs."

"But now that 40 years have passed, the Yuwen tribes have at least two more generations, even those born after the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the country, they are already forty years old. Even if they were born on the grasslands, they should have restored some of their ancestors' style."

   Having said that, Ye Sheng stopped talking.

The reason why the Northern Zhou Dynasty was able to establish a country in the north for more than a hundred years, and even become the most powerful country in the world, is naturally because they are very powerful. More than a hundred years ago, the Xianbei Yuwen clan went south, and the mighty Xianbei iron cavalry swept the north in one fell swoop. , and almost overcame the natural danger, including the Jin State in the south into the territory.

   It was only a few attacks, but they were all guarded by Jin, which was in the south at that time. After a few generations, Yuwen's thought of going south was extinguished.

But no matter what, the state of Jin in those days was indeed trembling for many years under the lewd power of the Northern Zhou cavalry. For today's Dajin, this is not a very glorious thing, so few people mention this paragraph. past.

  Li Xin frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Master Ye is so optimistic about the Yuwen family that has been declining for many years?"

   Old man Ye shook his head slowly.

   "You have never seen the power of Yuwen's iron cavalry."

The old man looked serious and said solemnly: "When I first joined the army, the northern side of Dajin has been struggling to support Northern Zhou's attack. At that time, if the two sides clashed head-on, our ten infantrymen could exchange the life of a Northern Zhou iron cavalry, that is earned."

   "The riding skills of those Xianbei people..."

   Old man Ye exhaled slowly: "It's really amazing. They are born to be good at riding and archery. This is a very obvious advantage on the grasslands in the north."

"Don't look at the fact that there are some cavalry soldiers in the armies of the Great Jin today, they all look the same, and they all seem to have the appearance of cavalry, but until the Chengde period, most of the equestrian instructors in the armies of the Great Jin were all cavalry. They are still the cavalry soldiers of the Northern Zhou Army in the past, their riding skills are more than one grade better than my cavalry in the Great Jin Dynasty.”

   This point is clear to Li Xin.

   You must know that even the Yulin Guard, who is known as the Emperor's Imperial Guard, has nine out of ten people who can't ride a horse. When Li Xin first learned to ride a horse, a layer of skin was rubbed off the inner thigh, and he suffered a lot.

   But those nomads are quite different. Even if they are three-year-old children, they can ride horses as if they are drinking water. Many women among the Xianbei people have better horsemanship and archery skills than many cavalry soldiers in Dajin.

   This ability is useless in the era of hot weapons, but in this era, it is a big killer.

  Li Xin frowned slightly.

   Originally, he still had confidence in the Chong family army, but when old man Ye said this, he made some murmurs in his heart.

  If the family overturned on this matter, then Beijiang will not be peaceful since then...

Ye Sheng glanced at Li Xin, then laughed and said: "But I don't have to worry about the Chong family, the Chong family is very good at managing the army and leading the troops, there will be no major incident in Yunzhou City, we are in the capital, quiet Just watch it quietly."

   Li Xin lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then looked up at Old Man Ye, and said with a smile, "Master Ye, when your old man passes his birthday, you can send Ye Mao to Jimen Pass and let him help a group of Senior Brother Ye."

   Ye Sheng frowned.

   "Why?"

Ye Mao is the third-generation heir of the Ye family designated by old man Ye, and it is also the foundation of the Ye family in the capital. The last time Ye Mao was sent to the southwest was a very risky act, and now he is going to be sent to the northern Xinjiang. , Old man Ye was obviously a little reluctant.

The Marquis of Jing'an looked solemn: "As Master Ye said, even if the Chong family's army is fighting, it will not be able to compete for full power. At that time, the main attack should be the Zhenbei Army at Jimen Pass. Brother Ye is also old. Brother Xiao Ye is back in Beijing, and the disciple thinks that the Zhenbei Army needs a second Ye family."

   Old man Ye was silent for a long time.

   After a while, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "This is not a small matter, the old man has to write a letter to the boss to communicate."

Of course, Ye Sheng is the nominal prince of Chen Guo's mansion, but since the old man "retired" more than ten years ago, he has actually not been involved in the affairs of the court. Ye Ming is doing it.

   That Ye Shaobao is the head of the Ye family, and Ye Sheng, the old man, is no longer in charge of specific affairs, at best he can only be regarded as a good-looking mascot.

   Although old man Ye looks very arrogant on weekdays, he is a very reasonable person. When this happens, he will still ask his eldest son for advice and will not make his own decisions.

   Li Xin heard the words, smiled and said, "It is also right to ask Senior Brother Ye."

   After chatting for a while, Ye Sheng suddenly sat up on the reclining chair, coughed lightly, and said, "Chang'an, this old man has something to ask you."

  The Marquis of Jing'an smiled and said, "Master Ye, you said it."

   Old man Ye hesitated for a while, then looked directly at Li Xin.

   "When are you going north?"

   Li Xin said stunned: "Master Ye, the disciple doesn't understand what he said. The disciple is the minister of military affairs, not the general. Even if there is a fight in the north, it has nothing to do with the disciple."

   He smiled and said, "Even the disciple of the Imperial Army has resigned. Today's disciple is a civil servant, and he can't do things like dancing with guns and sticks."

   Old man Ye looked at Li Xin and pouted in disdain.

   "You can't pee in the same pot with those bird civil servants, or you wouldn't have done much work in the Ministry of War for five years."

  The old man stretched and lay back on the reclining chair.

   "If you were to be a minister of the Ministry of War for someone else, you would probably have to stay at the Ministry of War yamen every day to deal with things. How could you be like you, and you would just be idle for five years."

   Having said that, Old Man Ye said in a firm voice.

   "Look, once the family doesn't get any benefit this time, you should leave Beijing soon."

   Ye Sheng chuckled.

   "You are so capable, when the gods are helpless, they will naturally think of you."

   I fell asleep last night, I made up a chapter first, and I woke up later and I made up another chapter!
