Zhi Yuxun knew that Yang Hao was gathering troops to Xiazhou. There was an intention to go west, but as he expected, Yang Hao should have wanted to completely control the Hexi Corridor in his hands and make this ancient road in the Western Regions prosperous again, but he didn't expect his appetite to be so big.

Zhi Yuxun looked at the map in amazement, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, if these places were really won over by Yang Hao, the breadth of his jurisdiction would be almost no less than that of the entire Central Plains, and by that time it would be ......, but ...... Is this possible?

Zhe Yuxun asked, "Third child, is this ...... Is it possible? ”

Yang Hao said: "If I wait until the Central Plains frees up my hands and gives more aid and support to the Tubo people, it will greatly increase the difficulty of my success; If the scattered sand of Tibet is reunited and a unified government is established, I think it will be even more difficult to succeed; If I'm too intimidated to try at all, then ...... There is no doubt that there is no chance of success at all. Thankfully, what I'm talking about won't come up now. I tried my best to compete for time with the Zhao official family, just to seize the moment, to seize the first opportunity, to be able to take the initiative everywhere, if I go all out at this time, why won't I succeed? ”

Zhen Yuxun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid ......, whether it is the Khitan or the Song Kingdom, they all want the Western Regions to maintain the status quo." ”

Yang Hao's gaze became deeper, as if he had penetrated the wall and seen a long distance, and after a long time, he smiled lightly and said, "Big brother, believe me, even if I don't do this, someone will do it." No one wants a strong, unified regime here, but there will certainly be such a regime here. The major events in the world must be divided for a long time, and they must be divided for a long time, and the Western Regions will ...... It's been too long.

As for the Khitan and Song states, it is true that they do not hope for a third strong competitor, but the competition between them is doomed to make them unable to send troops to intervene, and once one side sends troops to intervene, the other side will immediately change its attitude and change from opposition to support. This is in their interest. Big brother should understand. ”

Zhi Yuxun was silent, he knew that Yang Hao was telling the truth, whether it was the Khitan or the Song Kingdom, with such a powerful opponent by his side, it was impossible to bet all his strength on the Western Regions, once he fell too deep here, the other party would get the benefits of the fisherman, no matter which of them couldn't hold back the action against the Western Regions first, the other party would be very happy to see Yang Hao form an alliance with it.

If Yang Hao really took down all these territories, then he could be called the king and the emperor, and he would be on an equal footing with Zhao Guanyi. And for him, how could Fuzhou deal with itself at that time? On this huge territory, the small Fuzhou is just a drop in the ocean, after Linzhou became Yang Hao's jurisdiction, Fuzhou has lost the inevitable meaning of its existence, if Yang Hao holds the entire Western Regions in his hands, Fuzhou is embraced by him, facing the Great Song Dynasty, only in a more embarrassing situation.

Yang Hao stretched out his hand and gently tugged at it, and the "Rich Peony Map" slowly slipped down, covering up the map.

Yang Hao smiled and said, "Big brother." In the past two years, I have been training troops and enriching the people at the same time, that is, I am competing for time with the Great Song Dynasty, and before it has the spare strength to attack me, I will make myself stronger; Before it has the spare strength to support Tibet and keep the Western Regions in war, strengthen itself. Time is running out, that's why I'm gathering troops and Xiazhou, in fact, I've already started to take turns to transfer them over through actual combat to adapt to the terrain here? Now it's just a matter of turning the pre-plan into action. ”

Yang Hao clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Since I have embarked on this road, there is no reason to be satisfied with the status quo and be able to plan for the long term. In the past, people often took Zhang Yicháo's story to encourage me, Zhang Yicháo was a generation of heroes, Yang Hao did not dare to compare, whether to return to the northwest, I had hesitated again and again, but since I came back, then, either not to do it, to do it, I will be Yang Hao first, never Zhang Yi cháo second. To do so, I will build a kingdom larger than his, and a government that will last longer than his century-old kingdom. ”

Zhi Yuxun suddenly smiled strangely, and said softly: "Third brother, you are now a real nameless king of the northwest, if you can really take these places." Then you are in name only, and at that time, where should I go in my state? ”

Yang Hao was stunned, and his tone was even more gloomy: "A group of wolves can huddle together to resist the threat of a tiger, but between two tigers, how can there be room for a wolf to exist?" ”

Yang Hao was surprised: "Big brother won't think it's ......, you and I are like brothers, Yang Hao won't fight Fuzhou's idea no matter what." ”

Zhi Yuxun smiled faintly: "Zhao Kuangyin once confessed to his father in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military in the Golden Palace, 'The Zhe family lives in the clouds, and then the descendants will be the prefect of the state, and they have to use their subordinates and eat their rent'." Within a few years, as soon as the Central Plains arrived, didn't it change its mind? I believe in your sincerity, but after the passage of time, will you still think like this? ”

Yang Hao said: "If Zhao Guanjia has won the Western Regions, he must first take Longyou, and if he takes Longright, he must first take Linfu." And I am different, my heaven and earth are in the northwest, if I can get the land of Longyou again. Then this territory is already integrated, why should he be treacherous and seek to seize the capital of the eldest brother? ”

Zhi Yuxun stared at him and said, "In the place of your heart, tolerate my existence?" Aren't you afraid that one day I will be against you? ”

Yang Hao was silent for a while, and said: "To the west of Xiazhou, it is the shepherding place of the Tuoba Weiwu Department, before I entered Xiazhou, Tuoba Han Chan and Tuoba Heshao had a close relationship with Jingyou, and now they are forced by my strong force to completely cut off contact with the remnants of Li Guangrui. Submit to me, and when you know that there is a greater benefit to be gained, will you suddenly strike at me in my heart? For the sake of safety, the eldest brother thinks, should I get rid of them first? ”

Zhe Yuxun was full of resentment, but he didn't expect Yang Hao to suddenly ask him about things, and when he heard him, he suddenly felt sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox, and blurted out: "Ridiculous! If you become a hegemon, you must have an open mind, just because they have been very close to Lee Kuan Rui, just because they may pose some kind of threat to you, so you have to strike first?

It is not easy for you to manage such a situation, so that all the party items and eight clans are in the heart, how difficult is it? If you do this, I am afraid that the tribes that were loyal to you will also have different intentions; No more tribes will come to you, aren't you destroying the Great Wall? ”

A slight smile flashed in Yang Hao's eyes, and he said, "What the eldest brother taught is, then, how is Yang Jiye?" He is now in charge of Linzhou, Yinzhou, and Luzhou for me, and he is in-law with you, in case he has a different heart for me, the land of Sanzhou will change hands in an instant. It's too dangerous, you say...... Should I strike first and get rid of him? ”

Zhe Yuxun finally understood what he meant, but stared at him silently.

Yang Hao said: "There are some things that must be adhered to, 'the appearance of Confucius, only the Tao is followed', those who lead, enlighten, and follow the Tao will never turn the clouds and rain, and play with the people around them." This Tao is the foundation of doing things for people, and it is general and unreasonable. If the foundation is not strong, the purpose is unclear, the direction is unstable, and the operation will be installed? And the technique is just a technique, a method, and what kind of method is adopted depends on what kind of Tao it is.

Those who have the Tao but lack the skills will eventually be defeated, and those who have the skills but lack the Tao will inevitably be counterattacked. Yang Hao led 50,000 weak people to flee to the northwest, and it was only with the help of his eldest brother that he was able to gain a foothold. Yang Hao is based in Luzhou, and he is inseparable from the help of his eldest brother, and Yang Hao will never be able to cross the river and tear down the bridge. ”

Yang Hao said solemnly: "Fuzhou is in the hands of the Fold family, Yang Hao will never use troops in Fuzhou." ”

The god of Fold Yuxun slowed down, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "Third child, you are serious." I...... Recently, I have been in a bad mood, and my speech is inevitably out of proportion. ”

He sighed softly and said, "I can naturally trust you as a person. But I don't know what your children and my children will ...... Can they be as heart-to-heart as you and me? ”

Yang Hao also sighed softly: "If I have a brutal descendant, maybe he will use troops in Fuzhou, if you have an ambitious descendant, maybe he will use troops in Xiazhou, or, you and my descendants are not good, in this northwest land, there is another hero, and the inheritance that you and I left to them will be taken, can you and I manage the future?" ”

Zhe Yuxun's face was uncertain, and after a while, he suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and that is not something you and I can manage." Let's talk about some things that we can manage, third child, if you can really unify the Western Regions and lay the foundation for the country in your lifetime, to tell the truth, at that time, even if you don't fight my Fuzhou's idea, there will be no possibility of survival in Fuzhou. Now, I finally understand what it was like for Zhongwen to be battered and struggling to survive, painstakingly arranging a way out for his son. ”

"Big Brother ......"

Zhi Yuxun raised his hand to stop his words, stared at him without turning his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "If I have to do it, I will never want to hand over the ancestral inheritance in my hands." But what you said is right, the major events in the world will be divided for a long time, and they will be divided for a long time, and I ...... You have to plan for future generations. If ......, I mean, if there is a dynasty, you can really unify the Western Regions and ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and then you will be ashamed to attach Fuzhou to my brother, how will you treat me and my family? ”

Yang Hao smiled bitterly: "Big brother, I really have no intention of going to Fuzhou. Besides, what is the foundation of the country, the king and the emperor, such an unattainable thing, what does it do? ”

Zhi Yuxun said hesitantly: "Since it is out of reach, then I will talk about it casually, why don't you answer?" ”

Yang Hao shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, if there is really such a day, I will give my eldest brother a hereditary Zhelan King, okay?" ”

Zhi Yuxun was stunned for a moment, and said in a lost voice: "King Zhelan? ”

Yang Hao said with a smile: "I heard Ziyu say that the eldest brother was originally a descendant of the Xiongnu Zhelan King, and his ancestors were separated from the Xiongnu and became Xianbei. ”

Zhe Yuxun stroked his beard of Guan Gong, who marked xìng, and muttered: "Yes, yes, Zhelan King, Zhelan King, the ancestor of my family, was originally the king of the Huns, crisscrossing the desert, the descendants are not good, constantly decaying, constantly migrating, and now it is just a state land, left and right, stretched, is it just me who folds Yuxun?" Hehe, if I can be a hereditary and reckless King of Zhelan, I am worthy of my ancestors and descendants, what is there to be shameless? ”

Zhi Yuxun knew that the more Yang Hao developed, the more Fuzhou shrank, but this kind of hidden suppression is the natural choice of business and Shilin, he can neither blame Yang Hao, nor can he ask Yang Hao to stop development, restore the closed backwardness of Li Guangrui's period, in Yang Hao's continuous expansion and development, Fuzhou will inevitably be almost extinct, but the inheritance handed over by the ancestors, if it has to be, he definitely does not want to hand it over, but he is not only responsible for the ancestors, but also can not ignore the way out of the descendants, and so on, entangled in his heart, This is a paradox.

Now that I have Yang Hao's inheritance, my heart is like a god, and I suddenly open up, and I can't help but feel big.

Zhao Guangyi's behavior is really uneasy, if he has to take refuge in one side, of course he will choose Yang Hao. And the Song State dealt with the surrendered monarch, as the original monarch, it was just a marquis, uncle, he folded the royal honor and even the title of marquis and earl, at most it was impossible to seal a nominal festival envoy, even if he did not die, after three generations, the family would inevitably fall, Yang Hao opened his mouth to be a hereditary reckless Zhelan king, this back road is already worry-free, what is he not satisfied with?

Thinking of this, Zhen Yuxun couldn't help but turn his sorrow into joy.

Yang Hao looked at him squinting at Danfeng's eyes, brushing his beard, and clearly looking like the reincarnation of Guan Erye, but he had a sly smile on his face, and he couldn't help but laugh: "Big brother came so far away, is it because of this incident?" ”

Zhi Yuxun suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Naturally not, this time, in addition to reminding you to gather troops to the west, you must also be careful of the Zhao Guanjia in the east, and the main thing is ...... My little sister Yu ......"

Yang Hao suddenly became nervous when he heard this: "Ziyu, what's wrong with Ziyu?" What happened? ”

Zhi Yuxun rolled his eyes and snorted coldly: "What's wrong?" The third child, you kid is not kind, my sister she ...... She's twenty years old! ”

Zhe Yuxun said bitterly: "Other people's girls are all mothers at the age of fifteen, but my sister is ......, and women are twenty, like a defeated dog!" ”

Yang Hao rolled his eyes and said in his heart: "As for it, twenty years old, a freshman elementary school girl, why didn't I see where she looked like a defeated dog." ”

Zhe Yuxun said worriedly: "Twenty years old, you are not allowed to match others, can you not let people talk nonsense?" The eldest brother is like a father, and I don't care who cares about her life's events? Originally, I was the woman's parent, and I didn't take the initiative to ask someone to kiss, but ...... But ......"

Zhi Yuxun suddenly glared at the phoenix, and said: "Today I pulled down this old face and let it out, you say, is it interesting to my sister?" With my little sister's posture, isn't it worthy of you? ”

Yang Hao's agitation that pointed out the country was completely gone, and he said sneeringly: "Big ...... Big brother, Ziyu's identity ......, you know, I ...... I already have four wives and concubines. ”

Zhi Yuxun waved his hand and said, "What is this?" Your eldest brother and I now have nine wives and concubines. As long as you don't compromise her, after marrying, help her to be a flat wife, Dong'er is your wife's original match, we can't compare, as long as you don't lower than others, what's not to do? ”

Yang Hao was sweating profusely, and said in the future: "I...... I didn't mean that, the question is...... Ziyu is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, xìng is like a raging fire, I look at her...... She bears some resemblance to General Cheng Shixiong's wife and doesn't like ...... I don't like my husband's three wives and four concubines......"

Zhen Yuxun tightened his eyebrows and said, "I said the third child, why are you so stupid?" ”

Yang Hao said dumbfoundedly: "Huh? ”

Zhen Yuxun said: "Can the unrealistic ideas of fifteen years old and the age of Lu be compared with the old girl at the age of twenty? How many family affairs have the elders told her, but she has rejected them, and she still misses you? You have married four wives and concubines, and even the baby has given birth to several stubbles, can you still divorce your wife, since she still can't let go of you, even if she is a little unhappy in her heart, but as long as you come to the door to propose, can she still refuse?

How depressed she usually is, I can see it all in my eyes, I still don't know her mind, her nephews are trained by her every day as if they are three grandchildren, where did this nameless fire come from, it's not because of you. I've asked her to hand over all the duties of the family, which is a bit of a waiting to be married. This time I went to Xiazhou, and I specially asked her to come with her, if she didn't want to see you, with her xìng affection, do you want her to come? The result is not happy to come, she is twenty years old, she has become an old girl, do you think she is not in a hurry? But you elm pimple, you can't ask her to take the initiative to make a promise, right? ”

Yang Hao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said continuously: "Is this really the case? Is that really the case? That's right, what she just said seemed to mean ......, if she hadn't been moved to get married, how could she have come to my mansion......"

Yang Hao patted his head and said happily: "What the eldest brother said is right, I am really a fan of the person concerned, and the bystander is clear." ”

"Ziyu...... Is Ziyu really willing to let go of his heart and live with me, and grow old with his white head? Yang Hao's heart was overjoyed, he rubbed his hands, and then asked worriedly, "Big brother, what about it...... So what should I do now? Do you propose marriage right away? ”

Zhi Yuxun stroked his beard and groaned: "The girl is tender-skinned, if you propose marriage now, it will be as if she sent it to the door herself, Ziyu will definitely feel shy." In my opinion, it's better to ......"

As soon as he said this, Xue'er rode on the back of the little white wolf, hugged its neck, and broke into the hall with a smile, Xiaoyuan and Xing'er chased after them in a panic, and saw that their master and General Zhe were in the hall, and no one was to take care of Xue'er, so Shi Li retreated. ，

Xue'er shouted happily: "Daddy, daddy, the game played by Erniangniang and the aunt in black is so interesting, I want my father to teach me." ”

Yang Hao leaned over and hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, and asked, "What game are you playing?" ”

Xue'er danced and said: "Er Niang Niang and the aunt in black are playing games in the flower hall, they are jumping around, jumping around, you cut me with a sword, I punch you, it's very fun, and then Er Niangniang twisted the hand of the aunt in black and snatched her sword, and the aunt in black was ashamed, and Er Niangniang said that this was the kung fu that her father taught her, and then the aunt in black was like a butterfly, and flew out of the window and disappeared......"

Zhi Yuxun stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Xue'er is not very old, and she can already learn to speak, hehehe, your second lady is Mrs. Yan, right?" Who is the aunt in black? ”

Yang Hao glanced at Zhen Yuxun, suddenly hugged Xue'er and snorted, and flew out of the door and disappeared. Outside the door, Cher exclaimed in a fuss, "Wow! Daddy snorted, flying faster than the aunt in black......"

Zhi Yuxun was stunned, and suddenly reacted, and rushed to the door with an arrow step, the little white wolf saw the master leaving, and hurriedly chased after him, Zhi Yuxun was unceremoniously, kicked it away, and then threw off the big stride and chased Yang Hao......

Suizhou, Thorn History.

Li Pilu's ninth aunt is in the boudoir of Taihua Feidie.

Hua Feidie got up from the tent, grabbed a piece of clothing, draped it on her body, sat lazily in front of the dresser, grabbed the jade grate and combed her hair lightly, but only combed it a few times, then stopped, and sighed faintly.

She is still in her prime, plump and well-proportioned, her appearance is delicate and beautiful, exuding a mature and charming charm, even the majestic rǔ peak half-covered by the silk robe, and a deep rǔ groove between the delicate snow and greasy jade, which is enough to make people intoxicated.

In the past two years, the Assassin Mansion has accepted several concubines, although the man they serve has changed, and her ninth aunt is still the most favored of all women, but she is not happy at all.

In the delicate top-grade bronze mirror, the flower-like beauty has her hair draped over her shoulders, and her face still has two touches of red, and the satisfaction and laziness after the joy of **, but there is loneliness between her eyebrows.

She is just a weak woman, a woman who depends on beauty and men for survival. She has always suspected that the death of her eldest brother is related to Li Jiyun, who has just satisfied her ** and is lying on the couch, but she does not dare to show a little doubt, and she has to serve him and please him with all her heart, just to survive.

However, the lonely city of Suizhou has almost become a dead city, and she doesn't know if Li Jiyun will leave after squeezing out the last bit of people's fat and ointment in Suizhou, and she doesn't know if this city will be captured by Yang Jiye or Zhe Yuxun overnight. At that time, she will be a weak woman, and whose hands will she be?

Gently coiling her hair, the hosta was gently inserted halfway, she sighed faintly, and put down her hand again, so that the green silk was draped again, and her eyebrows were full of sorrow.

A big hand suddenly pressed her fragrant shoulder, Hua Feidie's delicate body trembled, and she quickly pretended to be a coquettish smile, looked back and said coquettishly: "My lord......"

Li Jiyun smiled on his bare black bear-like chest and asked, "What are you thinking, I think you seem to have a lot on your mind?" ”

"I ......" Hua Feidie stopped talking, and finally sighed softly, and said quietly: "My lord, the concubine is ...... In the past two years, there have been no taxes for the people in Suizhou, and there have been no businessmen in Suizhou, and the four cities are closed, like a dead city, and people are starving to death every day on the streets, and they can still ...... How long will it last? ”

Li Jiyun was moved by her tenderness, and the big hand that reached into her chest did not knead it as rough as before, but just gently held the jade peak, and said softly: "You don't have to worry, you are my Li Jiyun's favorite woman, no matter where you go, I will take you with me." ”

Hua Feidie moved and blurted out, "Adults want to leave?" ”

Then he woke up and lost his words, and hurriedly said: "Ah, the concubine doesn't dare to move indiscriminately to ask the adults about business." ”

Li Jiyun said: "It doesn't hurt to tell you. In the past two years, do you think I have been shrinking in Suizhou to pretend to be a turtle? Hey! I'm just waiting for an opportunity. Jingzhou is over, Youzhou is over, and some remnants have fled to Guazhou and Shazhou, and I Li Jiyun can't command them. I've been waiting, I've been waiting......"

Li Jiyun smiled mysteriously and said, "Now, I finally don't have to wait any longer." Soon, my chance will come. ”

There was a dangerous and smug look in his eyes, and he said: "There is a big man who is a hundred times stronger than Yang Hao, and he has already arranged a way out for me, I can follow that secret path, away from Suizhou, to a very safe place." ”

He straightened up and said proudly, "When I get there, someone will provide me with money, food, armor, weapons, ...... everything I need." With food, I can call up troops, and with money, I can buy horses. With armor and weapons, I can immediately arm a large army, Yang Hao, it was me two years ago, and I am now Yang Hao two years ago. ”

He said with a cruel smile: "I will definitely kill back to Xiazhou, personally cut off Yang Hao's dog head to pay tribute to my father's spirit in the sky, I will also let his wife and concubine be my woman, ravage them fiercely, let his children be my house slaves, and let Yang Hao not live in peace under Jiuquan, hahahaha......"

He said hatefully, the big hand subconsciously clenched Hua Feidie's fragrant shoulder, as if that was Yang Hao's head, Hua Feidie has been clenching her silver teeth, struggling to support, and it hurt so much that Hua Rong lost her sè, and then she couldn't help it, and couldn't help but snort, Li Jiyun came to his senses, hurriedly let go, and smiled treacherously: "And this is just my retreat in case I fail, I am now planning a big thing, if this thing is successful, this day will change soon, I no longer have to pretend to be a poor worm, hide here with my head and tail exposed, There is no need to run away like a lost dog, I will stand at the head of this Suizhou city and challenge Yang Hao! ”

Li Jiyun said that, and looked up to the sky and let out a rampant, dangerous, and smug smile......
