Chapter 335: Submission or Not?
"Pretty good?"
Xia Hanqiu handed him the stack of information about Yu Ziruo, Duan Ziyi took a cursory look at it and put it down, "Do you think it's definitely not bad, when are you going to get married?" ”
"I sent a letter to Bai Yu in the afternoon, telling him all about this girl's character, see what he means, if he thinks it's good, talk about other things, if Yu Ziruo is a smart person, he won't go out and talk nonsense before the matter is settled, and ruin his reputation."
"It's fine."
"There are other people who also have scores, so in my opinion, we can just set a date to do it together."
"That's good, it's trouble-free, and you have to use it as soon as possible, and you will have to use troops soon, and few people will stay in the pavilion by then." Duan Ziyi slapped the board, "I'll talk to them tomorrow, you also help with the preparations, if you come one by one, don't think about doing anything else for a few months, how can you have that time now." ”
Xia Hanqiu understood, "You're going to use soldiers soon?" Where to use troops? ”
Duan Ziyi casually spread out the map, pointed to a place and said, "Here." ”
Xia Hanqiu suddenly understood, in other words, this is to swallow up the east side, in terms of the territory that the Liang State now occupies, this is also the most suitable, not only to connect the Pavilion and the original Qin State completely and safely, but also to dig out a large piece of the rear of the Min State, and the Wu State is not damaged, under the bilateral imbalance, the mentality will not be balanced, maybe this alliance that has not been up for a long time will have to be dispersed again!
"Do you personally lead the troops or do you ......?"
"If I have to go anywhere, the others will succumb, Longbow has been doing well in the past few months, and I plan to let him be in charge. Chen Junpeng will Jiang Tao and them as his deputies, and the others who have been with me for many years have to fight, and they have to fight on the battlefield for their wealth and fame, and I can't give them them. ”
Xia Hanqiu was relieved, a smile bloomed on his face, and he heard Duan Ziyi say again: "But I can't stay at home for long, Wuyang's problem needs to be solved, and now we don't need Qi Zhensheng to attract the attention of Min Guo." ”
The smile on Xia Hanqiu's face gradually faded, "What are you going to do?" ”
"If you haven't said it before, take it. With our current strength. Wuyang didn't even have the strength to fight, but the last time the pavilion was besieged, Qi Zhensheng personally led the troops to reinforce, no matter what the reason for his action was. I remember him like this. So I'm going to go to Wuyang and talk to him in person. ”
"Salute before soldiers?"
Duan Ziyi hooked the corners of his lips. "That's right, salute first and then soldier, Qi Zhensheng is a person who understands current affairs. As long as the courtesy is heavy enough, he will know how to choose. ”
Seeing that he had already calculated, Xia Hanqiu didn't ask much, she was no longer the previous Xia Hanqiu, and she no longer cared about the previous grievances, even if it had made her sleepless day and night.
If she had asked before, she wouldn't have asked more, but Qi Zhensheng's reinforcements did help a lot, and she didn't want to do that ungrateful thing and become the ruthless person she didn't want to see.
On the twentieth of May, the 100,000-strong army went out again, with Yu Longbow as the main general, and this time, the whole city went out to bid farewell, including many women who were new brides.
At the end of May, Zhang Jiabao returned with a letter from Duan Baiyu.
"I thought you'd come back sooner." Looking at his younger brother who had matured a lot and seemed to have grown taller, Xia Hanqiu was full of smiles.
"I don't understand those things anyway, and with my sister and aunt here, things will definitely be done properly, and I can't help when I come back, so I'm not in a hurry." is about to be the groom's official, Zhang Jiabao's joy is from within, if he can, he really wants tomorrow to be the day of marriage.
Glancing at him, Xia Hanqiu opened the letter and asked, "Is it okay to read Anke?" I heard that Cousin De is going farther and farther on the treacherous road, so he is not afraid that others will be afraid of him and guard against him in the future? ”
"Nian'an is very good, he looks as tall as me, and he has become a lot stronger, I also asked him if you were worried about Cousin De, and he said that the more people are afraid of him, the better, anyway, he didn't want to form a gang."
Xia Hanqiu took out the letter for a moment, and immediately understood, too, Cousin De is such a smart person, he knows how to be the best for the Xia family!
The relationship between the Duan family and the Xia family is too close, it's okay now, if you can't handle the relationship well in the future, I'm afraid that you will suffer, in this world, it will always be difficult to share hardships and hardships, and it is difficult to share wealth and prosperity, and there is nothing wrong with Cousin De's precautions.
Duan Baiyu's letters to his aunt are all written as ordinary family letters, which is not only his intimacy, but also what he thinks, Xia Hanqiu understands his mind very well that he doesn't want to be a lonely person, and every reply is in the form of a family letter.
After reading the letter at a glance and ten lines, Xia Hanqiu flipped it over and read it again, with a smile on his face.
Zhang Jiabao also smiled, "When His Royal Highness received my sister's letter, Nian An and I were there, I was so happy to see him like that, I heard Your Highness say that you chose a good woman for him, sister, is it true?" ”
"It's good or not, he has to really see it to know, it's okay to look at it now, his family relationship is important, no better than you and Nian'an, as long as the character is good, Bai Yu's wife, who has a slightly softer temperament, can't bear that responsibility, especially when the world is still unstable."
"We naturally know my sister's thoughts, but Nian An asked me to give my sister a little talk, and he also wants my sister to bother to pick a good one for him, don't we all have caring people, just let him drill the cold quilt alone."
"How old is he?" Xia Hanqiu couldn't cry or laugh, "I will still be biased, he is the youngest, if I really want to be biased, I won't be biased to him." ”
"Sister, don't believe it, I'm afraid his letter is already on the way."
Xia Hanqiu smiled and shook her head, she naturally remembered Nian'er's family affairs, that is, her mother also said early that she didn't care about Nian'er's family affairs, let her worry about being a sister, even those female adults in the backyard had several people come to inquire, Bai Yu's marriage They didn't dare to covet it, and the family treasure was settled again, and there was only one Nian'er left, I don't know how many people were worried about it.
is Cousin De, if it weren't for his aunt who pushed his marriage to her, the Xia family would not have stopped.
It's a headache to think about, she's really done the work of a matchmaker recently.
"Okay, go home and say hello to your mother, and then change your clothes and go to Xia's house, don't come back and don't show up."
"Got it, sister, I'll go to my brother-in-law's and go home."
On the last day of May, Duan Ziyi went to Wuyang with a light car.
Qi Zhensheng saw that the person's face remained unchanged, with an expected expression, "The fourth prince came later than I expected. ”
"Come late or early, the result will not change, what to do is beneficial to both of us, presumably the city lord of Qi has already made a plan in his heart." Duan Ziyi sat calmly, as if he was in his own home, "Before talking about business, let me talk about a private matter, the friendship of the Qi City Lord Chi Aiding Pavilion is something that my Duan family keeps in mind." ”
"But even so, you won't allow Wuyang to stay in my hands."
Duan Ziyi suddenly asked, "Is there a map?" ”
Qi Zhensheng understood, personally took the map and spread it out between the two, and saw Duan Ziyi pointing out the rivers and mountains on it, "This is the pavilion, this is Wuyang, now this Xinxiang City, this side of Lanshi City have been taken by me, the territory of the Liang State will definitely expand, if you don't give way, then I can only expand to the west from these two places, and at that time, I can also let you hang alone in the encirclement of the entire Liang State, what else can you do except defend a Wuyang?" ”
"You can directly swallow my Wuyang and expand westward."
Duan Ziyi shook his head, "Qiu'er pays attention to cause and effect, you helped her before, she didn't want to meet you in battle, and I'm not afraid to tell you, if the Duan family wants to fight for this world, they will have to flow through the sea of blood, this is the road that the founding of the country must take in which dynasty and any generation, peace and harmony want to take down the world, that is a dream, and my Liang country is naturally no exception, but many of the internal affairs of the Liang country are decided by Qiu'er, and many rules are also set by her, she takes the path of benevolent government, so now the Liang people are strong, not to mention the current Fujian and Wu countries, Even if you open the history books, it's rare, if Qiu'er has always hated what you and Zhang Qiao'er did before, then my attitude today won't be so calm, I won't let go of anyone who makes Qiu'er feel bad, but since Qiu'er has put it down, I won't have much to do, I didn't come today to make a forced landing, otherwise I wouldn't have brought a few subordinates, you think about it, what to do is best for you. ”
"What if I go my own way?"
"Then you will continue to be your Wuyang City Lord, the Liang Kingdom will continue to expand, and when the world is in my Liang Kingdom, it will be too late for you to return to obedience, I advise you, don't get in your way."
Qi Zhensheng lowered his gaze and looked at a huge map, he had always thought that he was a hero in troubled times, but when he watched Liang expand from a city to the present, and he still couldn't move, Min was helpless against Liang Guo, if he had a little movement, he would definitely be extinguished, and when Min Guo freed up, he couldn't do well.
He had to admit a fact - he was in unison, but in fact, it was nothing more than that!
He knew a long time ago that he had to make a choice, either to fight to the death of a fish, or to return to the Liang Kingdom.
He has been thinking about what kind of chips he has come up with, but today, he hasn't taken out anything, and the other party told him that he won't come hard, and even told him that this is what Hanqiu meant, because Hanqiu remembered his last love, and finally didn't remember his negative feelings, he didn't know if he should be happy.
Duan Ziyi got up, "I'll give you complete initiative, it's up to you how you want to do it, and say goodbye." ”
Although there is only one word difference between active and passive, the meaning is very different, if it is active, then he is taking his tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to surrender, this is his capital, it is to do it for others to see, the Duan family will also treat him well and give him enough benefits, as long as he is smart enough and not too greedy, he may not be able to be in a high position in the future.
But if he fell into passivity, he would lose all his advantages, he knew how to choose, and Duan Ziyi also knew that he knew, so he was not aggressive from beginning to end, and left with these words.
Gui Shun, thinking of his former ambitions, his thoughts about Hanqiu, Qi Zhensheng closed his eyes. (To be continued......)
