Chapter 231: Capture of Two Cities
Chapter 231: Capture of Two Cities
Just as Yunyue expected, most of the soldiers stayed. After all, they knew what the people needed most and what they wanted most.
The managers gathered in the conference room again.
"Now that we have soldiers, we should also expand our territory."
The prefects of Xuanfu and Zhendingfu were both dead, but there were still many government officials in these two places.
Yunyue asked Zhang Yuankai and Chu Ren to lead troops to capture these two places respectively.
Yun Yue was not worried that they could not take it down, or that they could take it over directly, after all, the soldiers of the two mansions were now under her control. They no longer had the strength to resist.
Even if the imperial court really sent a large army, he was not afraid, because Xiao Yinmo still owed him a life-saving favor.
Humph, do the emperor and the prime minister really think I am a soft persimmon? Since they dare to let the people from these two places attack me, don't blame me for swallowing them all!
The people went there in the morning, and the next day Zhang Yuankai and Chu Ren sent news separately. They said that they had successfully captured the two prefectures without losing a single soldier. When those people saw the army approaching, they opened the city gates and surrendered.
Afterwards, Yunyue sent two godfathers, Ouyang Jinyan and Huang Shide, to temporarily serve as prefects of the two prefectures.
This was what they had discussed during the meeting. After all, the one who was in charge of the affairs of the prefecture had to be an experienced old man.
Song Li temporarily took over as the prefect of Chengnan Prefecture. He had studied with Huang Shide for so long that he could handle things on his own. Besides, Chengnan Prefecture was now on the right track, so there was nothing serious to worry about.
Also going with Huang Shide were Song Luo, Doctor Ge, Ouyang Yi, Ouyang Shu and others.
If those two prefectures wanted to develop into what Chengnan Prefecture is today, it would not be possible with just two prefects, so everyone volunteered to help.
Song Luo wanted to prove to Song Li that his sister was also very capable.
Doctor Ge wanted to go over and teach the doctors on both sides new medical knowledge, and it would be best if he could take in a few talented apprentices.
Ouyang Yi brought several experienced craftsmen from the engineering department and prepared to recruit people to build schools and repair roads.
Ouyang Shu had to communicate and train with the private schools in the two prefectures as soon as possible. Although the school had not yet started to be built, these things had to be done quickly.
……
Everyone was very excited and positive. Seeing the city under their jurisdiction getting better and better, and the people under their rule becoming happier and happier, everyone was full of energy.
Because they already know what they want and what they want to do!
Therefore, most of Yunyue's capable assistants left, and now the government office is a little deserted. The only ones left in the sister group are Li Wanhua, Lingyao and Liu Lu who are recovering from injuries. Even Aunt Wang followed to Zhending Prefecture to help.
Although Yunyue had advised her to stay in Chengnan Mansion, Aunt Wang was not happy about it. She said that she wanted to do more things while she was in good health so that she could face the late queen after she died.
Yunyue did not try to persuade him any further, but secretly asked her assistant to take better care of him.
Li Wanhua has been very well behaved recently because Yunyue downloaded two cartoons on her iPad, which opened the door to a new world for her.
The novel style of painting and the plot all attracted Li Wanhua.
Originally, he was complaining every day that it was too boring while recuperating from his injuries, that he was going to get moldy from lying down all the time, and that his bones were stiff. Now, he stays in his room every day, eating the snacks prepared by Yunyue and watching anime.
Yunyue was worried that this future female general would become a fat otaku!
But it's better for her to be quiet now. She almost lost her life. She is the one who suffered the most. Let her have a good rest for a while. We'll talk about it after her arm is healed.
Xiao Yinmo hadn't left yet because he was afraid that the court would make some moves. After all, Yunyue's seizure of two prefectures at once must have touched the emperor's reverse scale.
So they stayed a few more days to see what was going on. Of course, Yun Yue didn't let them stay for nothing. With a wave of his hand, he took out a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.
The generals who originally had some opinions were almost laughing their faces off. How could they have any opinions about such a God of Wealth? They wished that Xiao Yinmo could stay for a few more days.
Not only that, Xiao Yinmo also sent his men into the city in batches to experience life there. He told them to learn and remember well, and to write a report when they return, so that their Liangzhou would also be built like this in the future.
The generals were all confused and had no idea what the report was. It was Lingyao who explained it to them, and everyone felt a headache after listening to it.
But every aspect of the city made them very surprised and envious. Everyone walked around and took notes.
Many illiterate generals even shamelessly hired a few of Yunyue's group of scholars to help them take notes.
Originally, they all thought that Yunyue was a vixen. Although she had great medical skills and some abilities, she mainly relied on His Highness.
But after a few days, they retracted their thoughts. This Yunyue is really capable! In Chengnan Mansion, let alone others, they themselves want to rebel and stay here! Any one of them is enough to make people jealous.
The bad news is that Yunyue is his highness's woman, and his highness can still benefit from her and learn from her.
I used to think Yunyue was not worthy of His Highness, but now I think, yeah! Very worthy!
She has a big heart and great talent, but it's a pity that she's a woman. But fortunately she's a woman, what would have happened if she was a man?
Yunyue didn't know what everyone was thinking.
At this time, he looked at the woman in the room, Huo Tanguo, with a gloomy face.
"Why is Miss Huo here?" As soon as Yun Yue opened the door, she saw the woman sitting in the room, dressed coolly and with a shy face.
"I...I have some business with the prince."
"Business? You came to a man's room in the middle of the night dressed like this? And... you even sprinkled aphrodisiac powder on your body?" Yun Yue found it funny. Doing this on her own territory, is this looking down on her or provoking her?
Huo Tanguo's face turned red and white, she bit her lip and stared at Yunyue. She didn't expect Yunyue to suddenly come to the prince's room.
"So what? You are not the princess. And you are the emperor's concubine, but you didn't keep your wifely duties and ran away to follow the prince. How dare you criticize me?"
"Haha. I thought you were a woman with great ideals and abilities, but I didn't expect you to be like this. What's the difference between you and the jealous concubines in the backyard?"
"You took possession of the prince yourself, what right do you have to blame me?" Huo Tanguo didn't expect to be caught red-handed. She didn't want to do this, she wanted to attract Xiao Yinmo with her charm and let him find out that he was different from other women.
But during the few days she stayed here, she not only discovered how much Xiao Yinmo favored Yunyue, but also discovered that she didn't seem to be the most unique one.
There are so many unique women in this Chengnan Prefecture.
Some were businessmen, some were teachers, some were doctors, and some, like her, fought on the battlefield.
She originally thought that if she told them her identity, they would admire her and envy her. But the people actually said:
"A centurion? Not bad, but not as good as our Captain Li."
"My daughter also said she wanted to join the army and become a general like Captain Li."
"It's a pity that you're a woman. It's not like here, where women can do whatever they want."
Huo Tanguo felt insulted and at the same time had a strong sense of crisis.
After thinking it over, she decided to make it a done deal with Mr. Xiao Yinmo. So she drank some wine in the dark and went to Xiao Yinmo's room, pretending to be drunk. But Xiao Yinmo didn't come, but Yunyue did.
"Yue'er, the noodles are ready... why are you here too?" Xiao Yinmo came in with a bowl of noodles, smiling, but found that Huo Tanguo was also there.
"Xiao Yinmo, you have caused trouble, so you should come out and solve it yourself." Yun Yue glanced at him calmly.
She didn't want to compete with other women for men. Give him face!
Xiao Yinmo looked at the two people's expressions and instantly understood what was going on. He just felt a little headache.
Because Yunyue said she wanted to eat noodles, he went to cook noodles for her. Who knew this would happen?
He thought he had clearly rejected her, but Huo Tanguo was like this. It really let him down for wanting to give her a chance.
"Your Highness..." Huo Tanguo blushed and wanted to explain something.
Yun Yue interrupted her and said, "I'm leaving first. You two can chat. Xiao Yinmo, you handle it. If you can't handle it well, I will have to deal with you."
"Yue'er..." Xiao Yinmo's heart skipped a beat.
Yunyue turned away gracefully, but Xiao Yinmo felt uncomfortable. Damn it!!! He and Yueer had been getting along so well these past few days, like honey and oil. Now, Yueer is angry!!
Xiao Yinmo hurriedly chased after him, carrying the steaming bowl of noodles.
"Yue'er, noodle..."
Huo Tanguo looked at the beloved whom she worshipped as a god. Not only did he cook for Yunyue, but he also looked so worthless. Suddenly, she felt that he was not that good.
I felt bored for a moment. I looked down at my outfit, covered my face and ran away.
