Transmigration: To Be His Man

Chapter 189 War



The place Lei Tia brought Qin Mian to wasn't anything special, but within three days, the two had explored almost all the places in the capital that were worth going to. All kinds of snacks such as donkey rolling, pea-bean yolk, sugar fire, wormwood nest, fried red fruit, noodle tea, pear-shaped soup, hemp tofu, open mouth laughing, bean curls, honey dates and lotus leaves clips, toad nectar, mountain medicine cake, glass powder, candy roll, etc. Almost everywhere.

Qin Mian had a feeling that he was returning to his honeymoon.

When Qin Ruiqi and his father returned home from school every day, they knew that their father and father had bought these from outside. They were so greedy that they wanted to go too, but it was a pity that Qin Mian couldn't ask for a leave of absence to bring them there. Now that the children were old, he and Lei Tia should properly pass through the two worlds.

Three days later, Lei Tia started to get busy.

Qin Mian took some time to enter the space he was looking for. He pla

ed to catch an eagle for Lei Tia and let him bring it to the west gate. The eagles had keen vision and a ferocious nature. They flew quickly and persistently, even if only to deliver messages.

In the end, Qin Mian caught a Golden Eagle on a tall mountain. It was five feet long, and when it spread its wings, it would reach a height of over eight feet. He did not dare to capture a monster that was too large to explain to others.

He pretended to take a few generals to hunt in the mountains and bring back the Golden Eagle two days later. The family generals did not suspect anything when they saw that he had "shot" the Golden Eagle with their own eyes.

Giving the Golden Eagle to Lei Tia, Lei Tia liked it very much. Using spirit energy to suppress the Golden Eagle, after training for a few days and inserting a Beast Control Talisman into the Golden Eagle's body, the Golden Eagle recognized him as its master.

In the recent few days, the National Duke couple had done all sorts of amazing things, and the people of the capital were already used to it. Therefore, for the first time, they did not feel surprised at all when they saw Lei Tia being sent to court by the Golden Eagle.

After that, Qin Mian also threw himself into work and refined many high-quality healing panaceas in the spatial space.

Half a month later, a large group of soldiers left the capital under the cover of night, escorting their provisions westward. The military strategy was as follows: Before the troops moved, the food would be the first to arrive. The provisions included not only food and fodder, but also salt, spices, herbs, weapons, tents and other military supplies.

Another half a month had passed, and they had received shocking news from the border trial: For the peace of Grand Xia Country and the Turow Country, they took the initiative to submit Turow Country and their close Princess Yan Qing s were actually mercilessly killed by the ruthless Turow Country people in the Duo Xiong Stronghold, which was about twenty kilometers away from the Western Pass of the Grand Xia Country!

When the Emperor Xiao Hui heard the news of his beloved daughter's tragic death, he was heartbroken. He fell sick once, and didn't go to court for three days in a row.

The commoners were furious, recalling the scene of the Princess Yan Qing waving at them cordially when they were married, their hatred towards the Turow Country grew even stronger. They hoped that the imperial government would give the unrepentant Turow Country person a severe lesson.

Emperor Xiao Hui held onto his illness and went to court, sealing Princess Yan Qing as the good princess of Yan Qing, accusing them of trampling over Grand Xia Country and showing their sincerity in fixing it. This move was not only to seek justice for the well-informed and righteous Princess Yan Qing, it was also to completely suppress the arrogance and arrogance of Turow Country. In the past, the countless conflicts between their Turow Country and the Turow Country had told them that tolerance towards the enemy would only bring them even more ruthless retaliation.

Early in the morning on the second day, the Great General led a hundred thousand troops to lead the vanguard. With the First Prince as the overseer, he led a troop to the north.

Qin Mian brought along Qin Ruiqi and the others as he stood on the city wall, and watched Lei Tia's figure disappear into the distance.

When Lei Tia left, his heart was empty as well.

"Father?" Qin Ruiqi's eyes were filled with worry, as he held his father's hand.

Qin Mian came back to reality and smiled at him, "It's nothing, it's just that this is the first time your father has left you for so long." Even if Lei Tia went to war the moment he arrived at the west gate, and only spent two days to win the battle, it would still take him another two months before he returns. Moreover, Turow Country people were cruel and insidious, so once the battle between Grand Xia Country and itself began, it would not end so quickly.

Lei Ruilin held his father's other hand and said resolutely, "Father, father will definitely win this battle!"

"Yes." Qin Mian smiled and nodded, "Let's go back."

After returning to the National Duke's Mansion, he asked the servants to send his two sons to the East Sun Academy and sat alone in the study, deep in thought. Most of the ancient wars happened in the spring and autumn, and one of the main reasons was because it was hot in the summer. If the corpses on the battlefield couldn't be dealt with in time, they could easily cause a plague on a large scale. The ancient plague was the hardest to control. Once it broke out, neither side would benefit.

Even if Qin Mian was not particularly good at understanding politics, he could conclude that the reason why the Emperor Xiao Hui had the army set off immediately after the death of the Princess Yan Qing was so that they could display their "passive" stance during this war. The possibility of a war immediately starting after Lei Tia arrived at the Western Pass was very low, and they would have to wait for the weather to become even colder. This meant that the imperial government would not consume too little military resources.

Since the Emperor Xiao Hui dared to initiate a war, the military expenditures of the imperial government must be plentiful. However, his man was the main marshal in this war, so if Qin Mian wanted him to come back early, he had to consider all aspects of it. The first thing that came into his mind was to prepare even more military expenditures, just in case. However, this matter could not be rushed. It was not time yet.

After Lei Tia arrived at the west gate, he immediately found an opportunity to enter the space to meet with Qin Mian to exchange information. When the people of the Turow Country learned that the Emperor of Grand Xia Country was going to avenge the Princess Yan Qing, they immediately dispatched their troops to the borders. Currently, the two armies had a total of nearly two hundred thousand soldiers confronting each other in the Western Pass. Lei Tia took the initiative to launch a small-scale war on the second day after the army was fully rested, and won greatly. Because both sides feared the plague, and did not fight after that, only confrontation. If there were no mishaps, he would launch a large-scale attack as soon as September arrived.

Qin Mian instructed him, blades and swords had no eyes, he had to be careful.

In September, eight hundred kilometers was urgently sent to the capital. Grand Xia Country and Turow Country had officially begun their battle.

Qin Mian also started to move. His identity as the "Madam Imperial Orders" seemed somewhat awkward at this time. Because a destined wife could not be involved in politics, he had any thoughts that he should not speak of directly to the Emperor Xiao Hui; but the Empress was a woman, so she had to pay attention to both men and women. After thinking about it, he still handed the imperial edict to the empress. If it caught the empress's attention, the empress would naturally pass the imperial edict to the Emperor Xiao Hui.

On the second day after the memorial was handed over, the emperor's dictum came from the palace, praising Qin Mian's idea of suggesting for officials and the capital's merchants to donate their money. In less than an hour, the empress's dictation had arrived again, and three days later she was hosting a banquet for all the wives in the imperial garden.

The theme of the royal banquet was fund-raising.

All of the wives were unwilling, but after the empress took the lead and donated a thousand taels of silver, they had no choice but to unpack their belongings. All of the concubines were unwilling to give up a thousand taels of silver, but after the empress gave a thousand taels of silver, they had no choice but to unpack their debts. The empress dowager donated a thousand taels, and even Princess Duan Ning donated six hundred taels of silver.

Qin Mian was a first stage Imperial Orders and donated 800 taels of silver.

Only after the madams finished donating the items did the empress a

ounce with a smile that they would remember how much they had donated and post it at the entrance of the city to a

ounce it to the world.

This was a good deed. Not only would it bring good reputation to his husband, but it would also bring benefits to his children. The ladies were all beaming with happiness. They felt that they had lost a few hundred silver taels previously.

Upon hearing this, the capital's merchants also donated money.

He had raised a total of almost 5,000,000 silver this time.

"..."

Because Lei Tia would always meet Qin Mian when he had the chance, he wasn't too worried about Lei Tia battling at a distance of ten thousand miles. However, Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin could not see Lei Tia at all. Every few days, the father and son would send a letter to Lei Tia together, sending it to the west gate.

In the west gate, the flames of war raged throughout the sky.

Dressed in battle robes, Lei Tia stood on top of the city wall with his hands behind his back, and looked at the enemy camp that was less than five kilometers away.

Lei Qinzhong ran over quickly and took out a letter from his robes and handed it over with both hands.

"Master, it's a letter from the Madam."

Lei Tia looked at the two small handprints on the letter. These two handprints came from the two seals that Ruiqi and Ruilin had carved using his little hands as molds on the day of the full moon. His wife had said that they were "commemorative seals".

When the First Prince, Chen Chuang, arrived, he happened to see the change in the First Prince's expression and was inwardly amazed. Seeing Lei Tia opening the letter, he did not immediately walk over, but the gaze that landed on Lei Tia's back was deep and somewhat absent-minded.

Lei Tia read the contents of the letter carefully. The first page was written by his wife, the second page was written by his eldest son, and the third page was written by his youngest son.

Apart from telling him to take care of himself, the letter was a chatterbox, but he still read it seriously.

Over ten years ago, here, he was like a lone wolf fighting his way through the enemy ranks, only able to watch others read home letters.

After reading the letter three times from begi

ing to end, he folded it again and kept it in his embrace as he indifferently looked at Chen Chuang.

Chen Chuang returned to his senses and walked over.

"First Prince." Lei Tia cupped his fists.

"Great General, no need for formalities." Chen Chuang stood by his side and smiled, "Great General must have been reading the letter just now, right? Great General and Madam have such deep affection for each other, I am truly envious. "
