Chapter 137: Boudoir Politics (Part II)
Lu Xun, who takes the survival of the Lu family as his own responsibility, even when he eats and sleeps, but when he has spare time, his brain will involuntarily and quickly operate, thinking carefully about the current situation and how to deal with it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIt's a habit she's developed over the years, and bathing is no exception.
The battle reports that kept coming back from the front line made her already aware of the combat effectiveness of the coalition army, if these soldiers were fighting a water war, there might still be a certain gap with the Lu family's water army, but there was not much difference between the city and the plain field battle, which showed that the Yang and Li families did not fool each other, and those who advanced into the water north were all family elites, and there was no indiscriminate refill.
This situation is extremely bad for the Lu family. Lian Haoran rebelled, and as a direct result, the Lu family's naval army was rapidly reduced from 60,000 to 40,000, and the defenders in various places faced the onslaught of the coalition forces alone these days, suffering heavy losses, and either died or surrendered. The situation in places that have not experienced war for the time being is also quite tense, and there is no spare force to mobilize troops to support.
If you want to go on the expedition, Yuecheng will leave at least 10,000 troops in case of contingency. The army she can bring out of the expedition is nothing more than 30,000 sailors, 20,000 Shanyue troops and 3,000 temple guards. Although the coalition forces have been fighting for days, after the continuous replenishment of follow-up reinforcements, the military strength is still maintained at about 120,000.
The 50,000 Lu family army fought against the 120,000 Yang and Li coalition army, and this force was still too thin. The temple guards may be able to be ten, but when fighting head-on, Lu Xun is absolutely reluctant to use them easily, and if the elite dies, there will be one less, and if they are replenished, they don't know how much manpower and material resources will be spent. She still understands the truth that she can't be dispatched until the moment of life and death.
What makes her even more troublesome is that judging from today's situation, the time between the Lu family naval army and the Shanyue army is too short, and even if they can work together on the battlefield, they don't need to think about it to know what the situation is, and the run-in degree with the coalition army is far away.
To set up a battle and attack head-on, Lu Xun thought about it, she had to have at least 80,000 troops on hand, in other words, 30,000 reinforcements was her bottom line, she secretly decided that even if it was soft and hard tonight, she had to ask for another 30,000 soldiers and horses from Jiang Yun, otherwise it was better to sit in Yuecheng and wait for the coalition army to come to the door. It's just Jiang Yun's attitude... It made her a little unpredictable.
Lu Xun thinks that he understands his husband quite well, and the incident during the banquet may make him a little unhappy, but he will never fool her in this kind of big thing, since he said that the 80,000 troops in his hand are already useful, it should be true, if so, the soldiers and horses may not be able to come smoothly. How should this battle be fought?
Lu Xun soaked in the bath bucket, her mind was chaotic, she thought about it for a long time, and suddenly felt a chill coming, only then did she realize that the hot water in the bucket had already cooled, she shivered slightly, hurriedly got up and wiped it clean, put on her dress and walked straight to the inner hall. It's useless to think too much, just ask in person to make it clear.
After walking into the inner hall, the scene that jumped into his eyes couldn't help but make Lu Xun happy. "Huh! You're going to enjoy it, aren't you? ”
Enjoy? Can you not enjoy it? I thought that when a person was extremely comfortable, it would be easy to fall asleep, but at this moment Jiang Yun realized that this was wrong! It's not that he doesn't want to sleep, it's that he doesn't want to sleep at all. This kind of mentality is a bit like the mentality that often occurs when I go to elementary school when I am a child and goes to bed on Sunday nights, and I am reluctant to sleep, because when I wake up from a sleep, it means that I am going to school.
Fluttershy's face was slightly red as she saw Lu Xun enter the house, and the little hand rubbing Jiang Yun's back quickly took it back, stood up and stood aside, pinching the hem of her skirt a little overwhelmed.
Lu Xun stepped forward, slapped Jiang Yun on the buttocks, and snorted coldly, "You're honest, didn't you see Fluttershy sweating from exhaustion?" She's just finished taking a shower, don't let the family work in vain. ”
"Miss, the slave is not in the way."
"Come on, Fluttershy, don't get used to him, he's even lazier if he's so lazy." Lu Xun pushed Jiang Yun vigorously and said, "Don't pretend to be dead, get up." ”
Jiang Yun turned over, yawned on his back, and said lightly, "Willing to come back?" I'm asleep in the tub. ”
Lu Xun smiled and said, "What's the matter?" Missed me? ”
"Miss you? Scold. Jiang Yun said disdainfully: "I can't wait to collect the accounts, it's been some time since we got married, this cave house... ”
As soon as he mentioned the word cave room, Lu Xun couldn't help but recall Jiang Yunhan's stupid appearance on the night when he visited the church, he couldn't walk anymore, and he still wanted the cave room in his heart. This nasty embryo, Lu Xun glanced at him and said, "Will you still be able to play tricks if you owe you?" Hurry up and let's get down to business. ”
"Let's get down to business..."
"Okay! Let's talk about it later. Lu Xun said heroically, but her pretty face secretly warmed up, and she blushed with Fluttershy, who was standing next to her.
"Hey, that's done! Say, what do you want to talk about? "That's right! How can there be light for horses to run, and not to give grazing? It's no good, my brother has a lot of love with you! Looking at the delicate daughter-in-law who was as delicate as a hibiscus out of the water, Jiang Yun's heart suddenly became hot.
The conversation had already started, and Lu Xun was not polite to him, and went straight to the point: "It's still what I said before, give me another 50,000 Shanyue troops." ”
"No need to talk." Jiang Yun didn't even think about it, so he refused. I spent more than one million taels of silver to buy the Sixteen Cities of Shuidong, which is stolen goods! In case there are some rumors, Yang Xiaotian will return with his troops, and only 30,000 Shanyue troops will not be able to defend it.
"Let's discuss." Lu Xun stroked her long skirt, moved to the bed, and said next to Jiang Yun: "You can't bear to watch my Lu family let people bully you?" Don't forget, you are now considered a member of the Lu family. ”
She secretly glanced at Jiang Yun out of the corner of her eye, and seeing that he still looked like he didn't eat oil and salt, Lu Xun bit his lower lip lightly, hesitated for a moment, and then threw out the bait. "As long as the husband should go, the concubine will serve you well tonight." Her soft-voiced and shy look stunned Fluttershy. Is this still the eldest lady of the Lu family? The scene is so terrifying that Fluttershy swallows her saliva, a little hard to accept for a moment.
When Jiang Yun heard this, his saliva was about to flow out, and he smiled coquettishly. "Pose for me?"
"What pose do you want to put me in?" Lu Xun glared, immediately turned his face, and said fiercely: "I'll tell you, hurry up and dispel this thought, I will definitely not be able to do those lowly postures." ”
So conservative? Jiang Yun couldn't help but be stunned. "For example?"
"Lying on your stomach like a dog, that won't work."
"The joy of the boudoir, how can there be a distinction between low and noble." Jiang Yun pursed his lips. "It's insincere to see you, come on, skip this topic and don't talk about it."
"Look at what you said, let's discuss it again." Lu Xun hurriedly put on a smiling face. Hey, there's a request for someone.
Jiang Yun stretched out his hand and wrapped his hand around her shoulder, pulled her into his arms, nodded the tip of Lu Xun's nose affectionately, and said with a smile: "Are you really ready to lead the troops to the battle?" ”
After all, he was not used to being so close to people, Lu Xun's body instinctively stiffened, and then gradually softened, and said helplessly: "Otherwise? People are almost knocking on the door. Lian family rebelled, Yuecheng's vitality was greatly damaged, and it could no longer go through war. I thought about it, but I could only raise troops to the south to resist the enemy. Regardless of the outcome for the time being, it is better than sitting still. ”
"Remember what I told you earlier?"
Lu Xun was stunned for a moment by the words that Feng Ma Niu didn't match, and he wondered: "You mean?" ”
"There is no momentum in the world that cannot be borrowed, the general trend is not humanly able to stop, even if they are trying to fight, in the end it is nothing more than a lose-lose situation. At that time, the balance will be shattered, the vitality of the three major families will be greatly damaged, and the heroes of Yibei will rise together, and this situation will really be out of control. ”
Jiang Yun grinned and continued: "Yizhou has maintained peace for hundreds of years, you don't think it's the reason for people's minds, in the final analysis, it is not enough to threaten the three major families, some rapidly developing forces, while exerting their potential, they will also expose themselves, and they will be suppressed by all sides immediately." Therefore, the equilibrium must not be broken rashly. ”
"But the Yang and Li families have already sent troops and taken the lead in breaking the balance of power."
"That's because they think they're in control of the situation! thinks that the two families will join forces to eat the Lu family, even if there is some damage, they will definitely not shake their foundation. And you can't, once you raise troops to base the enemy, you will completely cut off your own retreat, and you will not be defeated. Even if they win by luck, will the Lu family have the ability to control the entire Yibei situation just after the war? ”
It didn't seem to work, Lu Xun was silent. (To be continued.) )
