Farmer of Shu Han

Chapter 1267 The Quan Family and the War Horse

Although Mrs. Bu was not established as a queen during her lifetime, it was mainly because the former prince Sun Deng and the court officials wanted to establish the Xu family.

But in the harem, Mrs. Wang, who has been competing with Mrs. Bu for favor, naturally would not let this opportunity go, and often obstructed it secretly.

The eldest princess had nothing to do with the former prince, but she hated Mrs. Wang deeply.

And the reason why she is now called Princess Quan is precisely because she is married to Quan Cong.

If her first Alang, Zhou Xun, is still alive and she has not remarried herself, then she should be called Princess Zhou.

So the current Princess Quan is the hostess of the entire mansion.

My own mother was deprived of everything that belonged to her.

And the first work that originally belonged to the whole family was also interfered with by others, and became a secondary work, a minor work.

It's just too deceiving!

What princess?

General Shi Changwei?

People didn't take Quan Shi seriously at all!

The more Princess Quan thought about it, the angrier she became, a wave of evil fire shot straight into her head, and she couldn't suppress it at all.

She asked angrily:

"Where is General Wei?"

"Princess, I am discussing matters with several gentlemen in the front hall."

"I was bullied to the house, and I still have the mood to discuss things!" Princess Quan gritted her teeth, "Take me there quickly!"

Quan Cong, who was discussing matters with his son and his congregation, was shocked when he heard that the door was suddenly pushed open vigorously.

Who is so bold?

How dare you break in without your own order?

He was about to scold him, but when he saw the person clearly, his expression changed again, he stood up quickly and laughed:

"Where did Xijun come from?"

It can be said that of the two daughters left by Mrs. Bu, one inherited her beauty and the other her temperament.

And Princess Quan is the one who inherited her beauty—as for the one who inherited her temper, she is naturally Princess Zhu who married Zhu Ju.

Therefore, although the beautiful and beautiful Princess Quan remarried, it did not affect Quan Cong's love for her.

Otherwise, the two would not have given birth to two sons after getting married.

That is, Quan Cong's third son, Quan Yi, and his youngest son, Quan Wu.

However, Quan Yi and Quan Wu are still young, so they are not qualified to participate in the affairs of the mansion.

At this time, it was the eldest son Quanxu, the second son Quanji, and the second son Quanduan who were discussing matters with Quan Cong in the hall.

Princess Quan glanced at the crowd and sneered:

"If I don't come again, I'm afraid that tomorrow the door plaques of our entire mansion will be smashed."

Quan Xuquan sent Quan Duan to the three of them, and when they saw Princess Quan coming in, they got up quickly and bowed their heads in salute:

"I met my mother."

"Meet my aunt."

Princess Quan waved her hand, signaling the three of them not to be too polite.

Quan Cong was shocked when he heard Princess Quan's words:

"What do you mean by this, Mr. Xi?"

Quan Cong's eldest son, Quan Xu: "Mum, please sit up."

The second son, Quan Ji, trotted over to help Princess Quan: "Mum, please."

Princess Quan was not polite, she sat down next to Quan Cong, and asked directly:

"I heard about the battle of Shouchun, and the merits have been determined, can it be said to be true?"

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Quan Cong, Quan Xu, Quan Ji, father and son, the expressions on their faces suddenly became ugly.

Even Quan Cong Cong Zi Quan Duan, he also has a look of indignation.

In fact, what the few of them were talking about was exactly this matter.

Seeing the expressions of several people, Princess Quan already knew it in her heart.

"As the eldest princess, I have entered the palace several times and interceded for you many times in front of His Majesty. Alang, you are General Wei, and you are also in a high position in the court."

"In terms of merit, His Majesty is biased towards our family, if not, it wouldn't be a long time to make a decision."

Speaking of this, Princess Quan snorted heavily, "Ah Lang, you are the commander in chief who attacked Shouchun this time, and you have no place to talk about rewards for meritorious deeds."

"On the contrary, people who are thousands of miles away can decide with one word who has made great achievements. Isn't this obviously not paying attention to A Langyi?"

When Princess Quan said this, Quan Cong's face was no longer ugly, but had become uneasy.

He just yelled:

"do not talk!"

"Snapped!"

With a slap on the table, Quan Cong said angrily, "It's just too deceitful!"

Although the whole family is not as good as the four major surnames in Wu County, it can be regarded as the top dignitaries' family in Wu County.

Lu Boyan relied on his power to deny the whole family's merits in front of the battle without giving any face. Isn't this a public slap in the face?

Seeing this, Princess Quan took the opportunity to say:

"Lu Boyan is in charge of the war in the west, so he should stay in the west well. Even if he returns to Beijing to report on his duties, he should just talk to His Majesty about the war in Jingzhou, and I want to point out the war in Shouchun."

After a pause, Princess Quan looked at Quan Cong, her eyes flickering:

"According to my concubine, at a time when the government is sensitive, Lu Boyan jumped out at this time, and his purpose may not be simple."

"Huh?" Quan Cong looked at Princess Quan with some doubts, "What do you mean, Mr. Xi?"

The whole princess smiled coldly:

"When the old prince was around, Lu Boyan guarded Wuchang with him, and he obtained it from the power of the dragon. Who would have thought that the accident would happen suddenly, wouldn't Lu Boyan regret it?"

"Today's great merit has fallen from the sky. Who can refuse it?" Having said this, Princess Quan gritted her teeth, "It's just that we have pity on our family, and it has become the price for his support!"

As soon as Princess Quan's words came out, the expressions of the Quan family members changed drastically!

Especially Quan Ji, who subconsciously looked at the door.

If it weren't for Princess Quan who said this, Quan Cong might have planned to silence her.

But Quan Cong's tone was pleading:

"Xijun, please be careful with your words. Lu Boyan is not that kind of person."

The whole princess gave a "huh":

"Lu Boyan is not that kind of person? Ah Lang, you are General Wei anyway, why is he unwilling to give you any face?"

"Don't he know that this kind of behavior is slapping the face of our family? Alang, how do you explain what he is doing now?"

"This..." Quan Cong was speechless.

There are some things that the eldest princess can say.

But others can't tell.

But seeing Princess Quan pointing at herself:

"It's no secret that Yu and Mrs. Wang are at odds. In Yiyu's opinion, isn't he suppressing our family so much to show his position to the new crown prince?"

The mother of the new crown prince is Mrs. Wang.

Thinking of the grievances between Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Bu, as well as his own gentleman, Quan Cong was speechless again.

The remaining Quan's children were even more silent and dared not speak.

Getting married to the royal family may have huge benefits.

But since ancient times, huge benefits often represent high risks.

When Mrs. Bu was alive, she doted on the harem, and she had the reality of a queen without the name of a queen.

It can be said that the whole family has gained a lot of glory.

Now that Mrs. Bu has passed away, if Mrs. Wang is really canonized as a queen, no one can guarantee whether she will anger the Quan family because of Princess Quan.

Not to mention, the prince is the prince, the future emperor.

At this point, some people immediately broke out in cold sweat.

"Mom, what should I do?"

Quan Cong's second son, Quan Ji, couldn't bear it at first, and finally asked with a trembling voice.

Princess Quan didn't answer, but just glanced at everyone again.

Finally, his eyes fell on Quan Cong.

Compared to the restless Quan Ji, his father Quan Cong is much calmer.

After all, he was General Wei of the Wu Kingdom, and he hadn't seen many storms in his life.

Not to mention marrying the eldest princess of Wu.

Others don't know, doesn't it mean that Quan Cong himself doesn't know how much his majesty loves his lord?

Don't say that the third prince has not been formally established as a prince yet, even if he becomes a prince, he is still a prince!

Could it be possible to surpass His Majesty?

So he has his own confidence.

However, he also knew that what Princess Quan said was not all alarmist talk, but a real possibility and risk.

Quan Cong thought for a long time before slowly opening his mouth and saying:

"What Mr. Xi said is not unreasonable."

He raised his head and looked back at Princess Quan:

"Then according to what Xijun sees, how should we deal with it?"

Isn't this what Princess Quan was waiting for?

But seeing an unfathomable smile finally appeared on her face:

"Don't worry, Alang, the concubine has said so much, but I just want to remind Alang, don't be careless, lest someone deliberately target our family without knowing it."

As she spoke, she pretended to sigh again:

"It's an eventful time in Dawu now. There are some things that we can avoid if we want to avoid them. Therefore, it is always good for us to make some preparations in advance."

Hearing Princess Quan's words, Quan Cong's heart skipped a beat!

this……

What's the meaning?

Could it be that the Quan family is really going to be forced to be involved in an extremely dangerous palace dispute?

Thinking of this, Quan Cong finally lost his composure, and couldn't help asking:

"Why don't Xijun speak more clearly? It's worrying to be so confused."

Speaking of this step, Princess Quan didn't want to say it out loud:

"Ah Lang, things are not clear now, and I don't dare to say more about some things, not to mention that even if I say it, it will only increase my worries. Ah Lang, please be patient and wait and see."

Seeing that the faces of Quan's and the others were still ugly, Princess Quan felt a little complacent, knowing that she had persuaded them.

But her face didn't reveal anything, instead she slowed down her voice and said comfortingly:

"I said, I reminded this matter, but it was just a rainy day."

Probably to give them some confidence, Princess Quan sneered again:

"In my opinion, so what if the third prince is established as the prince? Can it be said that the overall situation has been settled? The former prince has been the prince for so many years, isn't it just gone?"

This is already considered a big treason!

Even Quan Cong paled in horror:

"Xijun, please be careful! Don't bring disaster to our family!"

Princess Quan chuckled, although there was some disapproval on her face, she didn't say any more.

Instead, she got up and tried to leave, but before she left, she said another sentence:

"What I said today, all the people I heard are close relatives of my whole family, so I don't think it will be leaked, right?"

Quan Cong took a deep look at Princess Quan, and finally nodded slowly.

"That's natural."

In Quan Cong's view, although Xijun didn't say it clearly, it was obvious that there was something in his words.

The eldest princess is favored by His Majesty and can freely enter and leave the palace. Naturally, she knows many things that outsiders don't know.

Quan Cong believes that what she said must not be aimless.

Besides, as Mr. Xi said, Da Wu is in troubled times at this time, and the Quan family is a relative of the emperor, and he is an important minister in the court.

Some things, even if you want to avoid it, you can't avoid it.

Since it cannot be avoided, it can only play by ear.

What's more, thinking of the meritorious deeds in the battle of Shouchun, Quan Cong felt extremely aggrieved, but at the same time, he was also quite resentful.

Although in Wu County, the Quan family is not as good as the Lu family, but it is not necessarily afraid of trouble.

In the fifth year of Chiwu in the state of Wu, Sun Quan formally issued an imperial edict, canonizing Sunhe, the son of the three princes, as the prince, and at the same time used Nangong as the residence of the prince.

This was something that many people expected, and it also relieved many subjects who cared about the stability of Wu.

——

In the beginning of spring in the fifth year of Yanxi in the Great Han Dynasty, God did not lose his temper. The weather was relatively normal, and the rain was not bad. It was a spring day suitable for farming.

However, for Wu Guojun, there is one more troublesome thing, and that is the loss of war horses.

Last year, after the Wu and Han countries fought against the Wei thieves, the two sides sent personnel to each other, and they all returned to their countries after they had learned something.

The formation of Wu's cavalry army can finally officially get on the right track.

Then Emperor Sun discovered that if you want to form a cavalry army, you don't mean that you have the generals who lead the team, the horses, and the harness.

Soldiers still have to practice.

Although with the three-piece cavalry suit, training the cavalry is much easier and takes much less time than before.

But the infantry can recruit strong men at will, and then after a short period of practice, they can be driven to the battlefield.

And cavalry can't.

Cavalry is the combination of man and horse.

Not only must people be able to understand military orders, but they must also control horses to follow military orders.

Not to mention the children of Jiangdong, who are good at sailing boats but not good at riding horses.

That requires more practice.

The lifespan of war horses on the battlefield is very short.

The more often it is used, the faster the horse will be retired.

In addition to the above, Wu's war horse also faces an extremely serious problem:

That is the war horse rented and bought from the Han Dynasty, which is not very suitable for the climate in Jiangdong.

The climate in the south of the Yangtze River is humid, and many horses' hoofs are easy to rot.

In addition, Wu Guojun did not have experience in taking care of a large number of war horses, which also led to poor management of war horses in the army.

At the beginning of spring, it happened to be the weakest time for war horses. Many horses became ill due to poor care or wrong breeding, so that they could not be ridden.

This made the non-wartime loss of Wu's war horses even greater.

It was so big that Sun Quan felt distressed.

Just after the crown prince was established, the snow in the north was almost melting, and Emperor Sun couldn't wait to send someone to Chang'an for help.

——

"School Qin, there is something wrong with your war horses in Wu Kingdom, so you can't blame us, can you?"

In Da Sima's Mansion in Chang'an, Da Sima Feng looked at Qin Bo, who had come all the way from Jiangdong, in disbelief.

"The war horses we handed over to you were all carefully selected and made sure there was nothing wrong with them."

"You don't manage well, you don't take good care of yourself, that's your own problem, come to me and talk about this now, don't you want me to compensate you?"

The plan for a year lies in spring.

It is rare that God has shown kindness this year.

Coupled with the great war last year, except for the strategic reserve warehouse in Shu, the grain storage in other places in Dahan was almost emptied.

Supervising this year's spring plowing work is the top priority.

Not to mention Feng Da Sima, even the emperor of the Han family, he personally went to Bashui to inspect the spring plowing a few days ago.

The big man goes up and down, how can anyone be free?

Two months since the beginning of spring, Da Sima Feng has been so busy that he can't even touch the ground, and finally got some free time. Emperor Wu Guosun sent people from the school affairs office in a hurry.

It's strange that Feng Da Sima can give the other party a good face.
