All Hail Cousin Brother

Intelligence and reconnaissance are not easy, but he has a lot of patience. 0

If it fails in one year, the piecemeal information of two, three, four, and five years will be verified and confirmed several times, and improved little by little.

Yu Youyao was a little unbelievable: "Cousin is really exhaustive."

Even the topographic map of the grassland has been surveyed, which is something that even Emperor Gaozu failed to do, otherwise the situation of the Northern Expedition was so good at the beginning, and it would not have ended in a hurry.

Zhou Linghuai shook his head: "The first is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the second is to attack the city. Harmon has offered to make a deal, so in this deal, I will take everything here. road

"If you think about it, Harmon knows that with the powerful war horses in the grassland, even if the Great Zhou Dynasty is in chaos, as long as I guard the northern border for a day, they will not dare to act rashly."

Yu Youyao took it for granted: "Cousin will return to Youzhou this time, when will he be back?"

Zhou Linghuai said: "If there is no accident, I will return to Beijing in July at the latest."

It will take more than two months, Yu Youyao suppressed the reluctance in her heart: "You have to be careful, beware of Beidi's ulterior motives." She frowned, a little worried: "The reason why Marquis Weining and Marquis Changxing were so bold back then is because Stealing the military power in Youzhou is because they colluded with Beidi and forged the criminal evidence of King Zhou Li colluding with the enemy and conspiring against the enemy.

Marquis Changxing blatantly led his troops to besiege Youwang Mansion, because once the "criminal evidence" was "searched" from Youwang Mansion, Youwang Mansion would be convicted of collaborating with the enemy and treason.

The concubine and princess guessed this, so they did not hesitate to set fire to Prince You's mansion.

Although, she didn't think Harmon could be regarded as a cousin.

It's just that there are no absolutes.

Back then, who would have expected that His Royal Highness the God of War, who was invincible in the Great Zhou Dynasty, would die under the conspiracy of petty people?

The little girl frowned lightly, her worry and reluctance for him were all written on her face, Zhou Linghuai trembled in her heart: "Don't worry! Since I have complied with Harmon's request, I will take precautions against all kinds of problems. "

Yu Youyao breathed a sigh of relief: "Cousin can go back to Youzhou with peace of mind, don't delay the business because of me."

Cousin never leaves Beijing in the morning, never in the evening, but waited until the imperial court sealed her as the head of Shaoyi County, how could she not guess the key to this?

Every year in early spring, Beidi is at a time when the army is weak. This year, there is a spring drought in the north, and the situation should be very serious without the lush aquatic plants to recuperate and revitalize.

Beidi's request for trading must have been communicated to his cousin early in the morning.

Cousin has never returned to Youzhou, and he also knows the many calculations in the palace, so he can't worry about her. The imperial court named her the county lord of Shaoyi, which happened to be the safest time for her.

Zhou Linghuai bent his lips: "Don't think too much, Harmon's private letter was handed over to me in early April. The reason why I didn't leave immediately is not entirely your fault."

Yu Youyao didn't believe it,

In April, my cousin's legs had basically recovered, and there was no need for further injections, which would not affect my cousin's return to Youzhou.

Zhou Linghuai had no choice but to say: "Harmon proposed a trade request, and I can't agree to it rashly. First, I have to find out the drought situation in Beidi and whether the deal is sincere, so that I can handle them and raise the price on the ground."

"The Great Zhou Dynasty and Beidi have been at war for many years, and the hostility between the two sides is still deep. Beidi took the initiative to show weakness, which is not completely credible. The precautions that should be taken also need time to arrange deployment, so as to be safe."

"Harmon asked for something from me. I took advantage of it and let them get in a mess. When it's time for a deal, I can further raise the price and get more benefits from it."

Of course, all the reasons add up, and it is impossible to repeat them one by one.

This is a psychological warfare that cannot see the smoke of gunpowder.

What is played is patience, strategy, and deliberation.

Yu Youyao curled her lips, feeling a little unhappy: "Really?"

Zhou Linghuai opened his mouth subconsciously, wanting to say "really", but when the words came to his mouth, he saw the little girl's face without a smile, and she looked at him without blinking, and sat up straight without knowing where she came from Because of his desire to survive, he changed his words: "The main reason is that I still worry about you."

This is not a lie, most of them still worry about her.

The little girl curled her lips with a smile, and asked repeatedly: "Really?"

Zhou Linghuai breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, and nodded affirmatively: "Really."

At this moment, he also recalled

If he answered that it was all for Yu Youyao, Yu Youyao would feel that he was in the way of his business, and would feel uneasy and worried.

If he answered that it wasn't for Yu Youyao, Yu Youyao would think that in his mind, these miscellaneous reasons were more important than worrying about her.

Just like this, a small part of it was due to calculations, and a large part was because of worrying about her.

Neither will she feel that she has delayed his business, nor will she feel that these so-called business are more important than worrying about her.

Just right!

Only villains and women are difficult to raise, the ancients never deceived me.

Zhou Linghuai sighed in his heart, and felt that he had to add: "The timing is not right this time, and I will bring you with me when I return to Youzhou next time."

really!

Yu Youyao's voice was sweet and soft: "Brother Jing Zhi, don't worry about me, I'll wait for you."

Zhou Linghuai was really relieved this time: "You have been made the head of Shaoyi County, and your current situation is considered safe, but you have to be more careful. Before long, there will be chaos in the palace."

Yu Youyao's eyes widened: "In the palace"

"Yes," Zhou Linghuai nodded, smiling deeper and deeper: "The emperor's dragon body doesn't have much time left."

Yu Youyao's heart skipped a beat, the first thing she thought of was Concubine Lan who had just come out of the cold palace, and Concubine Xu Gui who was in the confinement palace.

She couldn't help asking: "I heard that taking Jinshi Dan medicine all the year round will make people in a trance"

Zhou Linghuai said meaningfully: "Not only that, but it will also make people emotionally violent and crazy, just like losing their minds. Erysipelas is in the body all year round, and just a small amount of it will cause toxins in the body, and it is difficult for gods to save."

Cousin's answer undoubtedly confirmed her guess. If the emperor can't stay awake, the battle for the reserve position will become complicated and confusing. Yu Youyao was in a daze for a moment.

Competing for the throne is not only about the supremacy, but also about one's own life.

Winner and loser, there is no choice.

Xiao Qiang's disaster was already doomed from the day Concubine Lu came out of the cold palace.

In fact, she should have foreseen this day, but when this day came, she was a little at a loss. Natural disasters and man-made disasters continued, and after all, it was the people of Li who suffered.

I would rather be a dog of injustice than a chaotic person.

Zhou Linghuai sighed softly: "Da Zhou's vigor is exhausted." div
