Mu Yunzuo was wondering why his mother was so solemn, and Li Taijun had already opened his mouth:

"You said that your brother arranged detailed work in Bihai and Imuran during his lifetime to spy on the military. But these small works are only reported to your brother? ”

"What my mother said is right, my brother only handed over the manpower to my brother, and it has nothing to do with me. All the military information is also told to me by my brother after he knows about it. For more than a year, the people I sent to Bihai couldn't get in touch with the people arranged by my brother, and my son was worried about it, but what did my mother know? ”

Li Taijun took out a letter from his cuff and placed it on the table, the letter had not yet been opened.

"That's it, your brother's people may only recognize your brother alone. So I handed the letter to his old mansion, and I thought of him to-day, and wanted to sit down in his house, but I found it on his study table. I saw that the mark on the back of the envelope was the one he used when he handed over the secret letter before, and guessed that it was probably the military information transmitted by the blue sea, so I will show it to you. ”

When Mu Yunzuo heard this, he hurriedly opened the letter and read it.

I saw a few sentences on the letter, and some strange marks were imprinted.

"This ...... This is indeed the news from the person sent by my brother to Bihai! These marks were all made by the elder brother at the beginning, and they rotate every month, which must be true. ”

"What does the letter say?"

"The letter said that the Blood Flame King of Imuran led 5,000 soldiers and horses south to invade Bihai Linzhou, and the whole country was shocked, and Zhu Zhiling wanted to borrow troops from Cangwu State to join forces in the northern expedition."

Li Taijun thought carefully for a while, suddenly perked up, and asked, "You read it again!" ”

Mu Yunzuo read it again and looked at his mother strangely.

Li Taijun's face turned from white to red, and his right hand could barely hold the Immortal Crane Panyun Silver Cane. She stood up tremblingly, looked at the sky and muttered, "Master...... This plan has made our mother and son wait so hard......"

Mu Yunzuo knew that the master in his mother's mouth naturally referred to his father, Mu Yunduo, the head of the three masters of the previous dynasty, but since his father died, his mother rarely mentioned his father again, why did he suddenly mention it today.

"Mother...... What did you say? ”

Li Taijun turned around and said proudly with a happy face: "Your father, what a wise and wise person he is, and what a wise and wise man your Muyun clan's scheming is. As the so-called Mo Xiang is a last resort, even if your father has passed away for twenty years, even if You'er has taken a step first, the world is still under his control. ”

Over the past year, Mu Yunzuo has been accustomed to seeing his mother live in seclusion every day and speak little. Suddenly, I saw that her face was excited and energetic today, and she was extremely surprised.

"Mother...... Mother, what exactly are you talking about? ”

"Son, do you remember the last time your mother said that your father still has a plan?"

"I remember, it's just that my mother said that the time was not yet ripe and refused to tell me the details."

"At that time, you were quite dissatisfied with what the Holy One had done, and some crooked thoughts were born in your heart. Mother once reprimanded you severely, saying that the country of Cangwu is not prepared for you. Do you remember? ”

"Remember, the son just didn't understand what his mother meant."

"You're puzzled. What Mother wants to say is that the rivers and mountains of Cangwu Country are not prepared for you, but the rivers and mountains of Bihai Country are! ”

"What?" Mu Yunzuo suddenly felt that with just this sentence, there was already a storm in his mind, "This...... Is this my father's last intention? ”

Li Taijun nodded meaningfully: "Yes, this is the secret crossing strategy left by your father." ”

"A secret strategy?"

"There are three steps to this strategy, the first of which was laid out by your father and your uncles decades ago, so you don't need to know it yet. The second step is now, your father expects that Imuran will eventually make a comeback, and there are very few soldiers in the country of Bihai, so he will ask Cangwu for help. At that time, Cangwu will send troops to the east to help, and there will be no one else in charge except for my Muyun clan, so you can lead the army across the Hanjiang River and drive straight into the hinterland of the blue sea. ”

Mu Yunzuo suddenly felt that the hairs on his body stood on end, and he couldn't help asking, "Father...... Father is ...... But you want me to come to Taiye City, take down the Bihai royal family by surprise, and take the opportunity to include Bihai Kingdom in my Muyun clan? ”

Li Taijun's eyes were very appreciative, and he nodded and said, "Yes, you can think of the thoughts of your father and uncles, which are very similar to my Muyun descendants." ”

Mu Yunzuo felt incredible, shook his head and said, "Mother, this strategy itself is not indispensable in the art of using soldiers, but the real hidden danger lies after the capture of Taiye City. I, the Muyun clan, led my troops to the east to aid Bihai, no matter how I calculated in private, at least in the eyes of the world, this move was generally a battle of benevolence and righteousness from the battle of poison gold twenty-five years ago. If I lead the troops to suddenly turn around and destroy the Bihai Kingdom, my Mu Yun clan will become a sinister and repeated person, even if I win the blue sea, I will not be able to win the hearts of the people in the future. ”

Li Taijun sighed and said, "My son, how could you think about your father like this, it is precisely because of this that he knew that Emperor Bihai Ming wanted to use his daughter Zhu Yuxiao to make an unbalanced strategy for my Muyun clan, and he deliberately agreed to this family matter. ”

"This ...... What does this have to do with my brother's family? ”

"Even if the Muyun clan receives the Bihai Country, it is unpopular, the key is that we are a foreign clan to the Bihai people, and the Bihai people are naturally unconvinced. But if your brother marries Zhu Yuxiao, if he gives birth to a child in the future, whether he is male or female, he will have the blood of the Zhu family. At that time, in the name of the inability of the Bihai royal family to protect the territory of the blue sea, and the repeated inability to save the people from the iron hooves of Imuran, you will be able to block the mouth of the Bihai people. ”

Mu Yunzuo suddenly realized, but then said with a gloomy expression: "Father is indeed scheming, but ...... But didn't my brother fail to give birth to a boy and a girl? My father never expected that his brother would be poisoned by Zhu Yuxiao, right? ”

Li Taijun sighed and said: "Your father really can't know about Zhu Yuxiao's poisoning, but Mu Yun's family has no last resort, thanks to the blessing of your two uncles, the three of them have laid out a third step in order to avoid the situation of your brother's death today." It's just that this step doesn't need to be too early for you to know. When you enter Taiye City, then your mother will naturally come to the Wanhua Emperor Capital to take this third step and complete this secret strategy. ”

Mu Yunzuo was a little anxious: "Why doesn't my mother still refuse to tell me everything." What if you tell me the third step in advance? ”

"No, your father has repeatedly instructed that the strategy of the secret crossing must be done step by step, everything is a matter of course, and you must not mess up the proportions!"

Mu Yunzuo stopped talking. If there was anything in this world that he didn't believe in the most, it was the fact that his father's plan would fail. Mother said that this strategy had been laid down decades ago, so there should be the most appropriate time to respond, and Mu Yun's strategy was the most prioritized, which he knew very well.

He nodded and asked, "Then according to my mother, the plan now is to wait for the Bihai Chuan Guo to agree to the Northern Expedition, and then I can take the opportunity to regain military power?" ”

"Not bad! Child, you've been dormant for a year, and it's time to revive my Muyun clan's prestige! ”

At the beginning of summer, the willows on the side of the palace wall of Laiyi Palace have made a piece of green, and they have probed into the blue wave pool in front of the Dingxiang Palace, like a dragonfly dotting the water, and the ripples are continuous.

Emperor Zhu Yutang of the Ming Dynasty was also lazily leaning on the soft chair of Tongxiang rattan today, watching the palace maids in the distance teasing cats and dogs to fight. Recently, the days have been getting longer and longer, and I can't sleep and don't want to sleep, thinking that Zhu Zhijie married Cangwu like this, I really can't come back to my senses. My sister Zhu Yuxiao is still angry with herself, and she hasn't moved around for a long time. No matter how hard you try, there will always be people who will be dissatisfied with me, and that's not the case for lonely people.

Zhu Yutang squinted and glanced ahead, and vaguely saw a familiar figure walking in quickly.

"You walk slowly, don't move around when you're heavy." Emperor Ming was accustomed to substituting reproach for concern.

Zhu Zhiling was carried by the palace maid to the Ming Emperor, bent down slightly, and sat down on the rattan chair next to him.

"My daughter has been lazy a lot lately, and she hardly moves around except for being in Fuxingtai every day. There was really a big incident today, and I needed the mother emperor to make a decision. ”

Emperor Ming looked at her face, guessed seven or eight points, and said, "It's for the expansion of the Golden Feather Camp again?" Speaking of which, this Imulan didn't come to make a fuss for a while. In the summer, they have a lot of food and grass, and it is common for them to come to Linzhou to make trouble, and in the autumn, they will not be able to stand the bitter cold of the desert and hide under Shakoye. Why do you have to be on the tip of the needle to the wheat and fight for the moment? ”

Zhu Zhiling listened to Emperor Ming very patiently, and said with a smile: "The mother emperor is very right, so my daughter has no plans to expand the Golden Feather Camp, after all, the expansion of the camp is a symptom but not a root cause, and it costs a lot. ”

Emperor Ming was a little surprised when he saw that she would not expand the camp according to herself, and he expected that she would have something to say, so he waited for her to continue.

"It's just that something big happened yesterday, which caused the two Shangshu of the Ministry of War and the Household Department to be folded together, and the stakes are very important, and it has reached the point where I have to report to the mother emperor."

"The military department and the household department?" Emperor Ming couldn't help but be stunned, so he helped the palace maid beside him to sit up, "What are you talking about?" ”

"In the past two months, the people of Linzhou have been beaten and robbed by the Imurans day by day, and the prefect Cai Shouxin has entrusted the Blade clan of Imuran to mediate, but with little success. A few days ago, the Imulans came to attack, and Cai Shouxin had no choice but to lead a thousand garrisons to patrol outside the city. Unexpectedly, the leader of the Blood Clan, the Blood Flame King, personally led 5,000 soldiers and horses to ambush outside the city, and beheaded Cai Shouxin and his men and horses in front of the battle......"

"What do you say? The prefect of Linzhou was killed by the Imulans? Emperor Ming couldn't help but be surprised.

"Yes, after the blood clan defeated the 1,000 troops of my blue sea, they drove straight into the city of Linzhou, killed all the Cai Shouxin clan, and hung their heads on the city tower......"

"Bastard!" Emperor Ming, who has always been mighty and not angry, was also moved, "It's unreasonable!" ”
