What every woman wants in the world is a reasonable pursuit, a misplaced extravagance, or a shameless delusion, which cannot be praised or condemned by a single claw scale. Most of the time, the choice that outsiders can make is to help their relatives or not.

If it is true, it will endure. But if the relatives in the world are strangled by one, there is really one less. Man Yun is not a sage, and she can only be good to her, so she tries her best to be good to anyone, whether it is right or wrong.

Half-coaxing and half-deceiving Xiao Wan, who was physically and mentally exhausted, to sleep peacefully, Zhou Manyun tiptoed down the curtain and sighed, wiped her stiff face, and quietly walked out of Xiao Wan's bedroom.

The small bridge, which had been lying under the roof beams to prevent outsiders from approaching, hung down like a hanged ghost, and quietly attached itself to Man Yun again. As she took a few more steps, the followers behind her from darkness to light followed.

Zhou Manyun, who prefers to be more comfortable in his heart, is now walking around in the Jingguo Mansion with people. Staying in her in-law's house, who was originally married and returned, she had to be careful, and she missed the vast grassland as far as the eye could see.

People's hearts are fickle! Xiao Wan's reminder weighed heavily on Zhou Manyun's heart for a long time, and he panicked inexplicably. People are never afraid of the enemy who comes to them head-on, and they are afraid that the knife that will be inserted into the back at the end will come from the relatives behind them.

"Grandma!" , Xiaoqiao's imperceptible prompt sounded softly, and Zhou Manyun, who was depressed, immediately straightened his waist and faced Xiao Tan, who was just walking towards him.

Although there is a difference between men and women, since Xiao Tan, who came to visit his sister, met his younger brother and wife who was walking back, he naturally stood in the open courtyard and said a few words of greeting. Looking at Xiao Tan's cold face, Man Yun responded with a twelve-point spirit, and according to Xiaoqiao's reminder, the second master who came to visit her sister had actually been spending money on her in order to block her.

Looking at the younger sister-in-law who seemed to be smiling in front of her, Xiao Tan's dark eyes were full of complex emotions.

The Mo soldiers brought by Du Huan happened to solve the crisis in Yunzhou. But now, for Yunzhou, where most of the troops in the actual state capital and the counties under its jurisdiction have been transferred north to Yanzhou by Xiao Hong, it is also the biggest worry. Originally, the number of reinforcements stabilized the defense of the city, and the more than 10,000 pseudo-Qi soldiers who surrendered also chose to surrender to the Du family.

The iron camp and the flowing water are for the Yandi soldiers who are in the prime of life. The Xiao family, who had already disassociated themselves from Yanzhou forty or fifty years ago, was just a memory in the mouths of their parents, and their childhood or youth only remembered the Du family in Yanzhou, not to mention that Mrs. Mo Zhi, who had been dangling in the desert on the border of Yandi, had never stopped infiltrating Yandi. For the Hu and Han soldiers in the puppet Qi army, the Du family or the Mo people are naturally closer.

During the descent, it coincided with the Tara sacrifice on the twenty-fifth day of the month, and Du Huan simply indulged his officers and soldiers and the believers in the surrender to spontaneously fiddle with the mandala sacrifice ritual, and for a time the city of Yunzhou was dyed with fragrance.

Yunzhou, which has changed its flavor like this, is a little different from Yunzhou. It's just that it's easy to ask God, but it's hard to send God. To let Du Huan's subordinates say that they were just here to send Zhou Manyun home, the "private soldiers" who said they were just here to leave, not only to take into account the opinions of Zhou Manyun who were sent home, but also to measure whether Yunzhou would be attacked again because they left.

If it was the Yunzhou soldiers brought out by Xiao Hong who came back to help, there would be no such problem at all.

It's just that after half a month of besieged city, Yunzhou has completely cut off any news from the front line with Yanjing.

"Brother and sister, do you know where Xiaoliu is in Yandi now?" After going around in a circle, Xiao Tan finally asked the question he was most concerned about, and he now wanted Xiao Hong to return to Yunzhou immediately.

Zhou Manyun shook his head blankly.

She received Xiao Hong's last message in Wulianghai, and it was only at the beginning of October, and he had stabilized most of Yanzhou and was about to break the news of the city.

said that during the whole process of returning from Wulianghai, she had been listening to the command of her grandmother, Mrs. Mo Zhi, in a daze.

After Xiao Hong entered the Yan Realm, Wulianghai came with several more groups of Mo tribe teams and other allies who sounded like they were invited by Mrs. Mo Zhi. Mrs. Mo Zhi persuaded Man Yun not to wait for Xiao Hong to pick him up. One is that the Mo people have an appointment with the alliance to have a military operation in the near future, and the other is that she has received an accurate letter. When Xiao Hong, the defender of the southern line of Yanzhou of the puppet Qi Dynasty, made the decision to counterattack Yunzhou and force Xiao Hong to withdraw his troops.

"As a wife, you can't just wait at home, you have to share the responsibility and not let your husband be distracted, or seize the opportunity to go back to her mother-in-law's house to fulfill her daughter-in-law's obligations." In a word, Mrs. Mo Zhi entrusted Zhou Manyun to Du Huan. asked her grandson to take the army to send her back to her in-law's house.

Zhou's appearance does not look like a fake. Xiao Tan sighed secretly, bowed his head lightly to Man Yun, and said goodbye.

"Second brother!" , Zhou Manyun, who was stunned for a while, turned his head and chased after him for two steps. Asked eagerly: "Second brother, there is no news of Xiao Hong?" ”。

Man Yun's pretty face turned pale with horror, and the appearance of apricot eyes made Xiao Tan confirm that she didn't know. He thought for a moment and replied in a low voice: "It's just that the news of the siege was cut off before, so I asked." A letter should come soon. ”

If...... If something happens to Xiao Hong, Grandma shouldn't send her back to Yunzhou, and if she is willing to let her come back, everything should be fine.

Strongly supported by the self-comfort from the bottom of his heart, Zhou Manyun smiled reluctantly at Xiao Tan, and slowly turned around to leave......

It wasn't until early November that the news of the disruption of the front line returned to Xiao Tan's desk. As soon as he saw the content, Xiao Tan, who had always been calm, was furious and cut off the Zihao in his hand.

The capital city of Yanzhou has been broken, and Xiao Hong, who reported the military situation, is actually in Youzhou.

Outside the generals, the military order is not subject to it. But Xiao Hong's trip is too outrageous.

Xiao Rui, the king of Jing, fought on behalf of the heavens, fought steadily and steadily, with Luojing as the center, and gradually cleaned up the situation in Jiangbei is the key. Pseudo-Qi originally wanted to let them breathe again.

It's just that Yanzhou, as the ancestral land of the Xiao family, is in the hands of pseudo-Qi, which will inevitably make the world have the evaluation that their own ancestral shrines can't be taken back and they still care about other things. With Xiao Hong's form of grabbing Yan greater than substance, Luo Jing's order did not necessarily restore the entire territory of Yanzhou, even if he won one day in hand and then calmly returned to Yunzhou to stabilize the defense, it could show that the Xiao family had enough ability to recover Yan, and it was already a big victory.

But Xiao Xiaoliu actually swallowed Yanzhou, and rushed into Youzhou in one breath with little heart.

If you eat more, you have to swallow it! He Xiao Hong didn't understand how much he had to worry about deploying manpower and various resources in Yunzhou to understate on the paper, "The second brother helped send someone to take over the government affairs of Yanzhou". What's more, the people and things in Yunzhou are not his, he doesn't care about it!

Without the right to appoint and dismiss in his hands, what does it mean to tamper with personnel, Xiao Tan knows very well. But Yanzhou, which has been taken by Xiao Hong, cannot be empty, and there is Youzhou that is being mentioned in the military newspaper......

Xiao Tan, who had dark eyes, gritted his teeth, reached out and picked the wick on the table, pulled a piece of plain paper in the dim light, changed the pen and licked the ink, and first wrote a letter of plea handed to his father.

It was right to boldly dispatch Yunzhou's subordinate officials to seize the opportunity, although Xiao Hong may have sent the same military report to Luo Jing, and Luo Jing would also have the intention of sending someone to take over.

It's just that he privately transferred people, maybe his father can understand, but his mother or eldest brother can't suspect that he wants to take the opportunity to seize power. At that time, Xiao Hong, the sixth brother who had been rushing all the way, had no merit, and he who had reached out to help himself had to take responsibility.

"The second millennium!" , Xiao Tan hooked the corners of his mouth and laughed at himself, then threw the sealed letter aside, changed the paper and brushed down a series of transfer orders, and the flow flowed. If you talk about the familiarity with the officials in Yunzhou, even King Jing Xiao Rui can't match him now.

The presumptuous and bold Xiao Hong rushed directly to Youzhou City, and Xiao Tan in Yunzhou City made a bold decision without the supervision of his father and brother after some struggle. Little did they know that in the intervening months, thousands of miles away, several of their other brothers had also experienced or experienced choices that were made out of their own hearts as they did.

The city wall of Huangpi County, Jeju was half in decline, and the city guards deceived Xiao Yuan, the third son of the Xiao family, into the city, but he fell short in the ambush. Xiao Yuan, who led the troops to leap into the city gate, stared at the soldiers who were killed and wounded in the fierce street battle with blood-red eyes, bravely reached out and pulled out the arrow on his shoulder, covering the bleeding wound and roaring, "Slaughter the city!" ”

Xiao Zhan, the fourth son of the Xiao family, who had been unable to hold on to the puppet Chu army for a long time, finally couldn't help but dig out a private letter that had moved him countless times, and handed it to a person who contacted the puppet Chu Dynasty, "This letter must be carefully handed over to Liu Tai, the lord of the puppet Chu State, and make it clear that this is written by the sixth prince and Ben Shuai." told Liu Tai that his only son Liu Da died in Xiakou that year, not only Xu Yu was there, but the sixth son was also ......". The letter was written by Xiao Hong to ask the fourth brother to take care of Xu Ne and find Xu Yu's whereabouts when facing the enemy.

……

Tiger out of the sheng! Whether it is a decisive victory or a ruin of jade can only be commented on by future generations. But now these choices are changing the lives of many people to a greater or lesser extent.

Time flies, and soon the new year has passed.

At the beginning of March, the Jingguo Mansion in Yunzhou waited for the car of King Jingjing of Luojing to welcome his relatives into Beijing, and he happily packed his bags. Yunzhou's "cramped and cramped" Guogong Mansion can go to Luojing to change the palace, or even bigger, just thinking about this is enough for people to laugh.

Zhou Manyun, who was also ordered to pack up and enter Beijing together, couldn't laugh.

The man who swore that he would pick her up in October never appeared in front of her again, and he went all the way north from Yanzhou to Youzhou to accept the surrender of the pseudo-Qi lord, as if he was lying there and did not move. A few months ago, the officials sent by Xiao Tan to Yanzhou only went around in Yanzhou, and then they all went to Youzhou, and they were sorting out the various political affairs left by the puppet Qi in Youzhou under Xiao Hong's hands.

The eyes of the people of the Jingguo Mansion who were secretly scrutinizing Man Yunming also became more complicated.

The officials sent by Xiao Tan to Yanzhou did not think that Youzhou was more important so they changed places, but they had to. The people of Yanzhou do not buy their accounts, and there are officials sent by other families to take over various affairs.

Yanzhou realm and Youzhou are the same as the banner of the Chen Dynasty, but it is only the Chen Dynasty and not the Xiao family, and the banner that is flying in the wind in Yanzhou is written on the "Mrs. Da Chen Zheng Yipin Jingyi", which is the title given by Emperor Xiaozong by Manyun's grandmother Mrs. Mo Zhi.
