18 Su Bailing ambition
Xiao Yue'er was very happy to see Yang Yulan and said, "Sister Yulan, you came so late, let my sister wait to death." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yang Yulan smiled: "Sister Yue, I'm sorry, there was a little accident on the road, and I missed the time, so Sister Yue waited for a long time." Xiao Yue'er cared: "Sister, is the accident serious on the road?" Yang Yulan said: "It's not in the way, a little accident, several samurai were injured." Xiao Yue'er said: "Then rest assured, by the way, my sister has booked five good rooms for you, I don't know if you have enough?"
Yang Yulan smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Yue'er, for thinking thoughtfully for us, there are five good guest rooms, of course it is enough." Xiao Yue'er said to Xiaozhu: "Xiaozhu, you accompany your friends in Yangcheng to see the five guest rooms, I don't know if they are satisfied, I will accompany the Yulan girl to talk."
Xianglian and Su Bailing, who were not far away, understood why this "Ping'an Inn" lacked first-class rooms tonight.
Although there are many shields between Su City and Xiangcheng and Tongyang City and Xiaocheng, both parties have their own affairs, and there will be no conflict between the two sides tonight. So Xianglian accompanied Su Bailing to her guest room to rest. And Xiao Yue'er also went to her room with Yang Yulan to discuss things.
Xianglian accompanied Su Bailing to her guest room, first of all, she washed up and prepared some snacks and tea, and the two of them were ready to drink tea and talk about things. At this time, only Xianglian and Su Bailing were still waiting for the girl Xiangye in the guest room, and the others Su Cheng and Xiangcheng warriors were together to guard outside.
This time Su Bailing went to get married, she brought two big and two young, four cronies and girls, and the two older girls are almost thirty years old, obviously with rich experience in the rivers and lakes; The youngest two are about eighteen years old, smart and clever; There are also fifty Sioux City warriors as guards.
Although the strength of Sioux City is the weakest of the five cities in Huazhou, it also goes to make peace. Su Bailing's pomp is much bigger than Xianglian's. In fact, it's no wonder, after all, Xianglian is just the goddaughter of the lord of Xiangcheng, and this time she went to Heqin completely to deal with the emperor's task. Of course, Xianglian has her own other ideas, so that's another matter. And Su Bailing, as the eldest lady of Suzhou City, is all-powerful in civil and military affairs, and belongs to the real power figures in Suzhou City, and her prestige in Suzhou City is higher than that of the current young city lord "that is, her younger brother". As for her going to be the daughter of her own relatives, she has her own ideas and reasons. Otherwise, she can also send another woman to be the daughter of a close relative, and pretend to deal with it indiscriminately.
Xianglian saw that Su Bailing and Xiaoyue'er in Xiaocheng, and Yang Yulan in Yangcheng all went to be the daughter of Heqin, and she was also puzzled. Especially Su Bailing, she is almost the status of the female city lord in Suzhou City, and she also goes to be a daughter, is there no other woman in Suzhou City.
Su Bailing saw Xianglian looking at herself with a puzzled expression, she sighed and began to explain the reason.
First of all, Su Bailing explained to Xianglian the distribution of the five subordinate cities of Huazhou in the south of Chu State and the ambitions and intentions of each city lord. Su Bailing is the eldest sister of Sioux City, she helped her father manage Sioux City for many years in the past, and she has good political strategy and good military talent.
Su Bailing said: "The existing Chu Dynasty has declined, and soon there will be a situation where the local princes support their troops and stand on their own, once the local princes support their own troops, then it is inevitable that there will be annexation wars between the local princes."
As for the decline of the Chu Dynasty, even a rogue like Gao Dashang has seen it, so Su Bailing said this, and Xianglian also understood.
In fact, Xianglian was just a kind medicine girl in the past, her medical skills were good, and she had cured Su Bailing's poisoning in the past, so that she and Su Bailing became very good sisters. But she lacked military talent and political strategy. In the past, as a kind little woman, Xianglian only had Xiang Shuifeng, the third son of Xiang, in her heart, only the love and love of a little woman, and she had no ambition to have the world.
But now the situation has changed dramatically, first of all, Xianglian understands her insignificance and danger as a slave of her relatives, and secondly, Xianglian clearly learned the news of Xiaoshizi from Gao Dashang, but unfortunately she is still powerless, and she can't see Xiaoshizi. In addition, she realized from Mu Rong's expression that Mu Rong might know Xiang Shuifeng's whereabouts. But Xiang Lian understood that even if she knew Xiang Shuifeng's whereabouts, if she didn't have the strength to save him from leaving, then everything would be empty.
Suddenly, Xianglian understood that strength was important, she was eager to improve her own strength, if she could have the strength of Han Jiangxue, the commander of the Liao Army, then the sword pointed in all directions, the world was the only one, and it was just a matter of raising her hand to save her lover.
Su Bailing then said: "Now the strongest of the five cities in Huazhou is Yangcheng, and the most ambitious is Xiaocheng Xiaonantian. And Yangcheng and Xiaocheng are in-laws, and they are also alliances, and the union of these two cities is the most powerful force in Huazhou. In the past, Xiao Nantian had been looking for an opportunity to annex other cities in Huazhou. Suffering from the fact that the imperial court had heavy troops stationed in Huacheng at that time, Xiao Nantian did not dare to act rashly."
Xianglian nodded, she understood this, she had heard Xiang Shuifeng say it in the past, when Xiang Shuifeng told Xianglian that Su Cheng and Xiangcheng were the two weakest cities among the five cities in Huazhou, and in order to resist the provocation of Yangcheng and Xiaocheng, these two cities must form an alliance.
Su Bailing continued: "Now the Chu State is defeated by the Liao State. In order to defend the capital, the emperor of Chu specially transferred 50,000 elite soldiers from Huacheng to the north, so that the power of the imperial court in Huazhou was greatly weakened, and Sucheng, as the weakest city in Huazhou, was the first target that Xiao Nantian wanted to annex, followed by Xiangcheng ・・・・・".
Xianglian didn't have an interface and continued to listen to her analysis. Su Bailing said again: "Although Xiao Nantian and Yang Dingtian are ambitious, it is not easy for Xiao Nantian to annex other cities. First of all, as the envoy of Huazhou Town on behalf of the court forces in Huazhou, he would not allow Xiaocheng and Yangcheng to annex Sucheng and Xiangcheng, and finally threaten Huacheng, which he personally managed. Because once Sioux City and Xiangcheng are annexed into their sphere of influence, then his Huacheng will be difficult to support alone, so his Huacheng will definitely support our Sucheng and Xiangcheng, so the existing five cities under Huazhou are a weak balance before the storm."
Xianglian saw that Su Bailing's analysis was straightforward, reasonable, and admired her talent in her heart, but unfortunately the best personal talent could not change the situation. She Su Bailing can only be a lamb under the butcher's knife of the Liao people.
Su Bailing ignored Xianglian's thoughts, and then said: "Now the fragile balance of the various forces in Huazhou can't be maintained for long, because all parties are looking for external support. First of all, the Chu Dynasty itself is difficult to protect, so the Chu Emperor is powerless to control Huazhou, and now even if the two cities of Xiaoyang want to rebel, the emperor will not dare to do anything to them."
Xianglian couldn't help but say: "Sister Su, since Yang Dingtian and Xiao Nantian are not afraid of the court now, why are they still obeying the emperor's order to sacrifice their beloved daughter to make peace?"
Su Bailing said: "Yang Dingtian and Xiao Nantian, the two old guys, sent their beloved daughters to kiss not for the court, but for themselves."
Su Bailing smiled when she saw that Xianglian was puzzled: "Sister Lian, you should know that the strongest force in the world is the Liao Army, and this Liao Army is what these two old guys want to use with strong external forces." And sending his beloved daughter to be his own daughter is to find this opportunity, if he doesn't send his beloved daughter to Liao and his relatives, how can these two old guys get in touch with high-level people in Liao? They are now sending their love to Liao to be their own daughter in order to be able to borrow the Liao army in the future to prepare."
This time Xianglian understood, she said to Su Bailing: "Could it be that Sister Su and her daughter are also for this?" Su Bailing nodded and said: "Yes, since those two old guys want to borrow the strength of the Liao army, then I can also do this, I don't believe that I can't fight the two yellow-haired girls in the Liao country."
Su Bailing is a woman with great ambitions, she heard that the Empress Dowager Xiao of Liao and the coach Han Jiangxue are both smart women, these two women are love as life, if she and her daughter go to Liao, you can contact them or their talented subordinates, maybe their talents can be appreciated by Empress Dowager Xiao and Han Jiangxue, and then she can also use the strength of the Liao army to defeat the two cities of Xiaoyang.
Xianglian couldn't help but smile bitterly when she thought of this, originally she thought that she was wronged, shameful, and dangerous to be with her daughter, but now it seems to be an opportunity.
