Chang'an, Taiwei's Mansion.

Ye Zhao stood in a courtyard, standing with his hands in his hands, looking at a famous lady who came in and out, and from time to time he could see a maid coming out with a copper basin, and a basin of blood poured out, making Ye Zhao's heart beat unconsciously.

Xin'er has been with him for 20 years, and a few years ago, she couldn't get pregnant because of physical reasons, but now she finally got pregnant, but she had a difficult birth.

Although according to status, Xin'er is just a concubine, among Ye Zhao's four women, the status is the lowest, and Ren Hongchang is also a concubine, but she was born in the Nivan camp, has military merits, and was able to be a palace maid at the beginning, even if she is not from a wealthy family, she should also have some fame in the local area, have a backer, have a background, and her status is higher than that of Xin'er, who is also a concubine, but if you talk about feelings, when Ye Zhao has nothing, she is still willing to follow Ye Zhao, and that feeling is naturally the deepest one.

In a man's life, it is a blessing to have a woman who is still willing to follow you when you have nothing, and for so many years, even if she has become Ye Zhao's woman, Ye Zhao's diet and daily life, Xin'er has also taken care of it meticulously.

Such a woman, when Wen Po came to the news of dystocia and asked Ye Zhao's opinion, Ye Zhao almost subconsciously chose to keep up.

The child can be reborn if it is gone, but if such a woman is gone, Ye Zhao will feel that he is missing something, that feeling is very complicated, Ye Zhao has never experienced it in his previous life and this life, but it is definitely uncomfortable.

"Uncle Liang, did you say that the killing over there was too much, and God blamed me?" Although Ye Zhao was calm on the surface, he was not calm at all in his heart, and even when Liu Wei gave birth to Ye Zheng, Ye Zhao's emotions did not fluctuate so much.

"No, Gongzi killed a foreign race, protect my Han people, if God really has eyes, it is too late to protect Gongzi, how can he blame?" Uncle Liang persuaded.

"If there is really God, there will be no difference between Hu and Han in its eyes!" Ye Zhao sighed, originally he didn't believe in these things, but this kind of thing has happened, and the ghost knows if there really is such a thing.

Uncle Liang doesn't know how to persuade him, he has nothing to do in his life, he treats Xin'er as his daughter, Ye Zhao can attach so much importance to Xin'er, Uncle Liang is naturally relieved, but now he has to think about Ye Zhao being so anxious again, if Xin'er has something long and short, I don't know if she will be depressed because of this.

In the room, Xin'er's voice was hoarse and weak, and the child had not yet been born, which made Ye Zhao suddenly have the urge to drag out this tossing evil obstacle and beat it violently.

It's been in for most of the day, and most women have been born early.

If it doesn't work, let's knock it out......

Ye Zhao knows a lot of things, but in this regard, he is a layman, and he doesn't know if the child can be defeated at this time, but ......

Just as Ye Zhao frowned and thought about these questions, there was a sudden loud cry in the room, as well as the relieved laughter of the stable woman and the maids, and Uncle Liang smiled: "Congratulations to the son." ”

Ye Zhao nodded, strode forward and prepared to enter the house, but was stopped by the stable women who poured out of the house: "Taiwei, where this woman has given birth, it is unlucky for a man to enter. ”

"How's it going?" Although Ye Zhao already had a son named Ye Zheng, he was not around when Liu Wei gave birth, and he didn't know much about these things.

"Congratulations to the captain, mother and son are safe!" Several stable women bowed down and congratulated.

"Another kid?" Ye Zhao asked.

"Not bad." Several stable women nodded.

"Go to the account room to receive the reward, how hard it is!" Ye Zhao nodded, and asked a few stable women to run to receive the reward.

"Lord!" At this moment, Li Ru hurriedly ran in and arched his hand at Ye Zhaoyi: "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord." ”

"Wen Wei is really well-informed, my son was just born, and you got the news?" Ye Zhao looked at Li Rudao in surprise.

"Uh......" Li Ru heard the cry in the room, and hurriedly said: "Then I have to congratulate the lord again, this is a good thing in pairs!" ”

"And the good thing?" Ye Zhao looked at Li Ru, and then suddenly said, "Is there news from the Hetao?" ”

"Yes, the Hetao is a great victory, Xu Rong broke Meiji, Guan Yu beheaded the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu in Jilu Village half a month ago, and annihilated his subordinates, although he has not fully occupied the Hetao, but the Southern Xiongnu have been wiped out so far! This is an unprecedented victory in the Xiongnu war since the founding of our Han Dynasty! Li Ru said with a smile, the biggest benefit of this battle is not the population of the Hetao and the hundreds of miles of fertile soil in the Hetao, the political benefits are even greater, Ye Zhao is enough to live for a hundred generations with this merit!

"Good! Good to extinguish! When Ye Zhao heard this, he laughed and said: "Pass on my military order, immediately send someone to reward the three armies, and order Xu Rong to subdue all the land of Hetao as soon as possible, it is now midsummer, and the migration population will begin to pass this winter." ”

"Whoa!" Li Ru bowed, but did not leave, this matter is not in a hurry, compared to Ye Fu Tianding, these things will not affect anything if they are postponed a little.

"Childe, you haven't named the little boy yet." Uncle Liang walked up and smiled at Ye Zhao.

"It's called...... it. Ye Zhao glanced at the closed door and said with a smile, Zhe Tongzhe, and in Ye Zhao's opinion, the two Ji together also have the meaning of good luck, this name is quite auspicious, it is in line with the current situation, and the time card of this kid's birth is really good.

"Ye Zhe? Good name. Uncle Liang smiled, in fact, his cultural level, he can't tell what is good about this name.

Can't go to see Xin'er for the time being, Ye Zhao asked Uncle Liang to stay here, and took Li Ru to the side hall, Hetao was a big victory, for Ye Zhao, the political significance is not small, he needs to discuss with his subordinates how to maximize the benefits of this matter, in addition, after Meiji broke through and the overall situation has been decided, Ye Zhao has been with his wife these days, and he hasn't seen the information in the last few days, so he just sorted it out today.

"There is no movement in the direction of Xiliang?" Ye Zhao sat down, according to the saying that he was humble, Zhong Xuan was looking for Xiliang first, and then looking for them, although he didn't think that Han Sui and Ma Teng had the courage to pick up his tiger whiskers at this time, but to say that the two of them didn't move at all, Ye Zhao didn't believe it.

"Han Sui led his army to Beidi County to plunder several Xiongnu tribes and take away thousands of people, but after General Xu Rong killed the Xiongnu in Meijikeng, he led the army to retreat to Jincheng." Li Ru said with a smile.

"He is a decisive man." Ye Zhao nodded and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, this Han Sui has gained a lot of benefits from the Western Regions through our trade routes, and now he can't wait to rob the population, and he has also discovered the drawbacks, and next, I'm afraid he will have to do something to Ma Teng." ”

"The lord's meaning is ......" Li Ru looked at Ye Zhao and asked.

"Look at Han Sui's posture, there is a intention to defect to me, but if he really swallows Ma Teng, it will inevitably sit on the ground with me and start the price, I don't have the heart to bargain with him, Xiliang has that little population, but the two families have more than 100,000 troops, almost the same as the Huns, our army is now full of calculations, the soldiers and horses of the two states combined, it is only more than 300,000, and we have to guard against the enemies of the Quartet, half of Xiliang, the total is only the enemy of the three counties, the city is less than 20, but there are more than 100,000 soldiers, don't you think it's too much?" Ye Zhao looked at Li Ru and smiled.

"Han Sui, although he is capable, he is capricious." Li Ru nodded when he heard this, and somewhat understood what Ye Zhao meant.

It is not difficult to understand that Han Sui saw that Ye Zhao was powerful and had the intention of defecting, but looking at Han Sui's past, he surrendered to the Han Dynasty several times and united with the Qiang people or local forces to rebel several times, his teammates were all sold, but Han Sui's official position became bigger and bigger.

Smart people generally don't talk about loyalty, but they don't just talk about interests, and generally smart people usually have ambitions and hope to have a platform for them to display their talents, such as Yu Ye Zhao, Li Ru, and Man Pet have their own revenge and ideals.

And Han Sui, he will not have loyalty, and there is no ideal ambition that needs to be realized through other people's platforms, he is a complete egoist, only looking at interests, and everyone can call them brothers and sisters if their interests are aligned, but when the interests are inconsistent, he will not have the slightest psychological burden on his teammates, he will be neat, such a person, Ye Zhao can accept it, but he will never be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, God knows if Ye Zhao's war does not go well one day, this pit god who is used to selling his teammates will sell Ye Zhao.

Although Ye Zhao's family has a great cause, if he is betrayed by Han Sui at a critical time, the loss will definitely be great, this kind of smart person who has no bottom line, or a person whose bottom line is his own interests, even Ye Zhao would not dare to reuse it.

After thinking about it, Li Ru smiled and said: "It's not difficult, you might as well reveal this matter to that Ma Teng, who is not a widow and suffers unevenly, seeing Han Sui eating meat, I don't know, if I know, even if Ma Teng doesn't take it to heart, those people under Ma Teng's command may not give up, in this way, Ma Teng will be wary of Han Sui, Han Sui wants to eat Ma Teng in one bite, I'm afraid it will be difficult." ”

Ma Teng is also a prince all the way, although he is a military general, but he can share the world equally with Han Sui in a place like Xiliang, if you want to say that Ma Teng's brain is full of muscles, no one will believe it, no matter how stupid he is, there are lessons from the past such as Bian Zhang and Beigong Boyu, after knowing Han Sui's small actions, Ma Teng cannot be without the slightest precaution, if he plans again, it is not difficult for Ye Zhao Group to provoke a war between the two sides.

When the time comes, you just have to sit back and reap the profits.

"This matter will be handed over to Wen Wei to deal with." Ye Zhao said with a smile: "Now that the Hetao has been decided, if you don't take the place of Xiliang, the Hetao will not be easy to govern!" ”

"Don't worry, at most next year, the minister will call the lord to get Xiliang." Li Ru bowed down with a smile and said, "But I still need to borrow a soldier and horse in the hands of the lord to use it." ”

"Gu Cheng?" Ye Zhao looked at Li Ru and said with a smile.

"Not bad!" Li Ru nodded, as the most elite unit under Ye Zhao's command, there are not many generals in the army who are greedy, but this army only obeys Ye Zhao's orders, and it is not easy to invite this army.

"Okay, I'll lend it to you, don't let me down." After Ye Zhao pondered for a moment, he finally nodded and smiled.

"Thank you, lord!"
