Shangguan Ziying secretly pointed out, and Ming Rui pondered for a moment and said, "What the second sister said is about the Yun family's court? ”

"Hehe, yes, I didn't mix with the second sister in vain, I have grown!"

Facing her praise, Ming Rui smiled proudly: "Of course! ”

"You...... If I had been willing to put more effort into martial arts, I wouldn't have been at a loss as much as I am now! After Shangguan Ziying finished speaking, he saw Ming Rui patting his chest and saying, "What's so difficult about this?" Fighting is not just by the courage of the horseman, second sister, if you really hand over the Hefei battlefield to me, I may not be afraid of how much of his Yun Tianqing, I am saying, that Yun Tianqing is not a few years older than me, I see, it was the old emperor of Yun Guo who deliberately sent him to experience, but that Chen Hengzhi is a character, and he is Shui Xiangling...... Eh, it's the empress, the second brother of the empress, I heard that he made a lot of military exploits when he conquered Xishu, and he is also a rising star in the north and south over the years, I heard that Yun Xingyan was dismissed and has something to do with this Yun Tianqing, if we use it to drive a wedge between the two of them, wouldn't this Hefei City be self-defeating? ”

Shangguan Mingrui's words provoked Shangguan Ziying to laugh, only to see that she said a little dotingly: "You, let's stay in Jinling honestly, your father handed you over to me to let you learn skills, but I didn't ask you to be reckless......"

"But...... I already have the right person in mind, but he has always been reluctant to work for us......"

"You can't be talking about Shangguan Ziyu, right?"

Shangguan Mingrui said disdainfully: "That guy is a deceptive and famous, not much better than me, besides, his martial arts are not as good as the second sister...... What's the use of him going? ”

"That's not what I said!"

Shangguan Ziying sighed and said: "Shangguan Ziyu has a significant reputation in the Jiangnan area, and he is a great talent in the world, only if he is sent there, Situ Qingyun will more or less estimate the public opinion of Confucianism, so he will not dare to do anything to him, if I go, then Jinling City will be empty, if the robbers come to attack us, it is not enough to refuse...... What's more, the deal with Goguryeo's 2 million stone grain has not yet been settled...... Mingrui, you continue to contact our envoys, if it really doesn't work, then borrow it at the interest rate of five li...... There is no need for them to give 2 million stone of grain at one time, and tell them to pay it off within a year this year, it is now July, and there are still five months to go, as long as we hold out until the winter and stay until the spring of next year, things may take a turn for the better......"

In fact, Shangguan Ziying's difficulty is here, even though they are attacking rapidly, but it is not enough to defend the land of one side to calm the hearts of the local people, so that it can be used by them, even some land in the center of the Jiangsu boundary, because of its lack of manpower, can not be eaten, originally Shangguan Ziying was waiting for the 50 warships to buy back from abroad to form a naval army, after the spring of the second year, all of Jiangsu Province will be eaten, and they are seeking development, but Xu Mad and Chu Xiangling's horizontal insertion made her have to start thinking about some other factors, In particular, a glimpse of the military deployment map of the Jiangnan area brought by Xu Mad, if you get this thing, you can avoid the real and attack the false, which will greatly improve their plan to annex Jiangsu, and now their land range is from Xuzhou in the north, down the Yangtze River, through Jinling, and occupy a small part of the territory of Anhui Province, from Anqing in the west to Ma'anshan, along the way is the Yangtze River flowing area, and the land originally allocated to the vassal king to govern the Yun Kingdom is: half of Jiangsu, half of Anhui, and even the whole province of Zhejiang with the Yangtze River as the boundary. As for Shangguan Ziying, after they got up, they sent their brother Shangguan Zimo to lead the soldiers north, all the way from Zhenjiang to Xuzhou, which gave them the strength to divide one side, and on the other hand, the Situ family also responded, starting from their hometown Anqing, all the way along the river to the east, but the two families have now encountered a lot of resistance, for example, the Shangguan family is difficult to move an inch after conquering Xuzhou, and the 25,000 soldiers and horses are like dead chess, if you retreat, then the Qi country will definitely come up and bite you, if you continue to consume, The supply line from Jinling to Xuzhou is too long, and they can't afford it!

What's more, the grain and grass of the Situ family is also supplied by the imperial court, which undoubtedly increases their budget and expenditure, so the battle of Hefei is very important, if you win, tear the soil and seal the territory, if you lose, then there is no room for recovery, after all, there is still Chu in the west to wait and see, its land is rich and the soldiers are full of food, but they are all a bunch of guys who only know pleasure, Shangguan Ziying wants to capture Chu and take it as a long-term development goal, after all, the hometown of Yue is partial to Angusu, and extravagance prevails, if the country is really able to do hard work, Then the Yue Kingdom will not be easily annexed by the Yun State (the relevant map has been sent to the circle, as well as an explanation of the situation, as for why not send Luoyang's soldiers and horses to attack Xuzhou to curb their expansion, it is entirely because of the Luoyang army's combat strength garbage, and secondly, if it is easy to attack, then the Beijing division must be empty, don't look at the Yun State garrison so much, and now the expansion of the territory, coupled with the border garrison, and the defense of the attack of ethnic minorities, the soldiers and horses that can be used are not as many as imagined, the total strength of the Yun State is about 350,000, Say whether it is strong or not, say that it is not weak, except for the necessary soldiers and horses for border defense and state capitals, there are really few people who can use it, not to mention that the imperial court has to deal with those folk religions)

"Maybe we are going against the sky to rebuild the Yue Kingdom, right?"

Shangguan Ziying sighed, and then asked Shangguan Mingrui to continue to supervise the matter of borrowing food, on the other side, Shangguan Ziyu woke up slowly, it was late at night, and he saw that there were clothes on the side, so he got up and put them on, he didn't alarm anyone, but Xu Qian was forced by Chu Xiangling to guard Shangguan Ziyu here, so he was a little unhappy, sat at the table outside, supported his chin with one hand and began to doze off, while muttering to himself: "...... Kill you...... Corrupt officials...... Slut ...... How dare you revoke my reference qualifications...... Look at it, one day I'm going to be famous! …… Whew...... At that time, I must call Shangguan Ziyu's grandson to climb ...... for me! Hey...... Shangguan Ziyu, you actually waged your tail... Haha, that's so interesting! ”dm

"Why is this guy here?"

Shangguan Ziyu looked around with some puzzlement, but the hall was empty, so he had to put his eyes on Xu Mad again, and saw that he was sleeping soundly, so he went up and kicked his stool, which immediately woke Xu Mad up, looked left and right in a hurry, and said in a daze: "Ah? Was there an earthquake? ”

As soon as Xu Yan finished speaking, he saw Shangguan Ziyu's face come over, and he was so frightened that he immediately fell to the ground with a chair, and suddenly said, "Ghost!! ”

"You sober me up!"

Shangguan Ziyu was about to slap Xu Madly, and Xu Madness shouted: "You can't do this to me!" You despise me so much, but I saved you, do you treat your life-saver like this? ”

"Help me?!"

Shangguan Ziyu snorted coldly and said, "So what? Compared to the day you killed me, what I did to you was only a drop in the bucket! ”

"Hahaha...... Hahahahaha"

At this time, Xu Yan's sudden laughter made Shangguan Ziyu very puzzled, so he asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"I laugh at you for being pitiful!"

Xu sneered: "You don't even know who you should hate, but you vent all your anger on me, a powerless scholar, you are really good!" You guy who only deserves to survive behind a woman! ”

As soon as Xu Mad said that, he let Shangguan Ziyu slap him, but his eyes were still full of mockery, and he saw Shangguan Ziyu say angrily: "You said enough!" ”

"What? Am I not right? ”

Xu Mad sneered, and the swollen corners of his mouth continued to sneer: "Maybe you don't know why I saved you, it's all because of Chu Xiangling and Shangguan Ziying's begging, they made a deal with me, so I saved you...... Tsk, it seems that Brother Shangguan is really good at it, his ability to eat soft rice is really a must, Yanfu is not shallow......" Xu Mad slapped Shangguan Ziyu again as soon as he finished speaking, only to see him said angrily: "You bastard, don't talk nonsense!" ”
