But as long as there is a choice, Sun Shouren does not want to give up a big city like Jiangling so easily.

If you don't have any concept of Jiangling, then to put it another way, Jiangling to the south is the mouth of the Youjiang River, well, that is, Gong'an Lane, and not far to the east, is the more famous Huarong, Huarong Road doesn't know? Then I'll just say nothing.

Huarong is a small city with a small population, and it belongs to the present-day Nanjun, and the Nanjun County Guard is located in Jingzhou. However, Huarong is located in the east of Nanjun and is currently under the jurisdiction of Sun Yu.

In other words, in the case of Xiao Yao's soldiers coming to the city, Jiangling was in a state of being attacked by the enemy on his back at all.

In this way, no matter how big and prosperous Gangneung is, it can only be abandoned when necessary. I have to say that the usefulness of this abandonment is not small.

For Xiao Yao's sister-in-law, it is best not to attack her, she is not Gao Yuyao, Daliang now wants money, money and people, just like the death of a hundred thousand in the Northern Expedition a while ago, it will not hurt her vitality. But Xiao Auntie can't do it, she really died for 100,000 yuan, tsk, dig a pit for nothing, put on a shroud and 'sleep', there is no drama to sing.

Accepted Jiangling in vain, although many materials were moved away together, but it was also an intact Jiangling City, this move not only successfully delayed Xiao Yuren's decision, but also thought that Sun Shouren's refuge was almost certain, so the next enemy, do you still need to say? Naturally, Sun Yu is undoubted.

The other is to free up the Jiangling defenders to attack Baling City, balance the balance in Gao Yuyao's heart, and not give up Sun Shouren so quickly. In addition, it is convenient to befriend Zhou Shaoyu. It can be said that except for rebellions such as Yuzhou Huofeng, which have no interest and do not need layout, a move can be pleased or stabilized by all three parties.

It can be said that Sun Shouren has taken the word 'stability' to the limit.

"I was fortunate to see General Sun in person, which is really a blessing for Wennuo's three lives." boarded the big ship in Tanzhou, Wen Nuo hugged his fists, very respectful.

Sun Shangxiang looked at it like this, and said with a smile: "You really don't have the surname Zhuge ? ”

"Huh?"

"Ahem, nothing......"

Don't blame Sun Shangxiang for asking, Wen Nuo's image, dressed in a gossip robe, and holding a feather fan in his hand, generally speaking, who is the first thing that comes to mind when he sees this outfit? Zhuge Kongming! Even Zhou Shaoyu sometimes dresses up like this. Take a closer look, don't say it, Wen Nuo looks like he is in his forties, but this look, eh, a handsome old guy.

Wen Nuo clearly knew Sun Shouren's intentions, and before the final decision was confirmed, Zhou Shaoyu naturally belonged to the party that wanted to be friends, and he would not care at all with a slightly rude attitude towards Sun Shangxiang.

"Shu Wen has the courage to dare to ask General Sun if this trip is not to attack Baling City?"

"How?" Sun Shangxiang shook his head and said: "Mr. Wen is too worried, you and I are in-laws, Jingzhou has always been the territory of the Sun family of the Zhennan General's Mansion, how can we take the liberty of sending troops to attack, it is true that there are bandits in Baling City pretending to be the head of my family, which is really annoying, but how innocent are the people?" I led my troops into Jingzhou this time, but I just intended to clear Yunmengze bandits. ”

In the face of the people on Sun Shouren's side, naturally they would not say anything to put pressure on Baling City and ask for an explanation or something, no matter how you look at it now, Sun Shouren will not transfer the position to Sun Yu. If you really say that, wouldn't you offend people? Originally, it seemed that the pressure was exerted, but if you think about it to another extent, wouldn't it be to recognize Sun Yu's status?

As Sun Shouren's most trusted strategist, Wen Nuo is naturally not a vegetarian, in just one sentence, but he also roughly understood the purpose of Sun Shangxiang's move, and originally wanted to invite him to attack Baling City together, but at the moment, I am afraid that it will not work, obviously people are right to avoid suspicion, at least in the short term, there will be no direct action against Baling City.

Touching his long beard, Wen Nuo nodded clearly, and said with a little meaning: "It's not a secret, Wen's trip is to capture Baling, and Wen can guarantee that when he takes Baling, he will be able to catch the bold bandit leader and return the regent to a clean slate." ”

This meaning naturally does not mean to catch An Ge, in fact, even if you can catch An Ge? Putting the blame on An Ge? Say that people direct and act by themselves?

Who believes? Wen Nuo's meaning is obvious, it doesn't matter what happened to Baling before, the important thing is that Zhou Shaoyu's reputation cannot be damaged, so Wen Nuo doesn't need to do anything else at that time, just grab some scapegoats and take this blame, so that Zhou Shaoyu can be innocent.

"Mr. Wen is high-minded!" Sun Shangxiang immediately hugged his fists and thanked him.

"Eh, you and I are in-laws, and we should help each other, does General Sun think so?" Wen Nuo immediately took the opportunity to say.

"It's nature." Sun Shangxiang nodded affirmatively.

Then the two looked at each other and laughed. No one will take this seriously, but sometimes a superficial sentence is necessary. It's like the relationship between the two or even the two forces is extremely bad, but there is a big difference between officially tearing up the face and not tearing the face.

"General Sun's obligation to clean up the water in Jingzhou is very hard, as a landlord, naturally I can't help but say that Wen has the courage to offer some gifts on behalf of his own lord, and I hope General Sun will not postpone it." Venno said, nodding to the guards who followed, who understood, waved the flag with the bow of the boat, and in a short time several small boats rowed over, carrying boxes of gifts. Wennuo, who emptied most of the materials in Gangneung City, was very generous.

Sun Shangxiang was indeed quite surprised, and felt that this overthrow did come a little suddenly, obviously the two forces had not had any contact before. It seems that this matter has to be reported immediately, and let Li Qing decide according to their discussion. As for the gifts, if you receive them, you will receive them.

In addition, what made Sun Shangxiang a little undecided was whether to really let Wen Nuo take Baling City.

Obviously, if Baling is in the hands of Sun Yu, even if it is not easy to get involved in a short period of time, if he really wants to send troops to take it, he can help Sun Shouren, a cheap father-in-law, to send troops to recruit. But if it is in the hands of Sun Shouren, then this excuse is really not so easy to find. But now that people are showing favor like this, it is really a little too ugly to secretly stumble.

"I knew that I would have let Xin Xianying or Wu Meiniang accompany me." After sending someone back to Tanzhou to report, Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but sigh and said, Xin Xianying is a military advisor, needless to mention. And Wu Meiniang is good at internal affairs, quite a big picture, from the fact that she can be the empress of the ages, it can be seen that she is not comparable to ordinary women, if she accompanies her, she will definitely be able to give a lot of analysis and opinions.

In the final analysis, although she Sun Shangxiang is also a rare strange woman, she has her own strengths after all. Take the conversation between him and Wen Nuo today, the deep meaning of it, if it is not for thorough concentration, may not be able to react immediately.

At the same time, the capital city of Tanzhou.

Sun Shangxiang's report arrived, and the will of the court came over, and there were many condolence gifts with it, which could be regarded as appeasing Zhou Shaoyu for being impersonated.

"This Gao Yuyao is really annoying, this messenger will come to Tanzhou to comfort and appease, what do outsiders think?" Wu Meiniang was very angry, they were starting to promote Zhou Shaoyu staying in the north, but the result was good, Gao Yuyao sent someone here, wouldn't it make people think that Zhou Shaoyu was staying in Tanzhou?

"That is, this woman's scheming is so important that it makes people disgusted......" The women echoed in unison.

Zhou Shaoyu was embarrassed when he heard this, and said in his heart that it was okay that the relationship with Gao Yuyao was broken now, otherwise he would sweat even more. Good guy, if he knew at this time that his first baby was about to be born, and it was born by Gao Yuyao, how would he feel? The back house is restless, ah, this is going to be!

Fortunately, I don't know yet, I can continue to live in peace, then again, Gao Yuyao's trick is of little practical use, but it is disgusting and real.

Fortunately, Sun Shouren suddenly showed favor and was willing to cooperate to clear Zhou Lang's bad name. It's just that the matter of abandoning Gangneung and attacking Baling still needs to be discussed by the sisters, what is the deep meaning. After the women debated for a while, Li Qingzhao interrupted to start the formal topic.

From the standpoint of an outsider, it is not easy to see Sun Shouren's plan.

No matter how you look at it, it is not a wise move to abandon Gangneung. Although Xiao Auntie led troops to attack, but the strength of the people was there, just those people, it is basically impossible to choose to attack, if you really want to defend to the death, it is still not a problem for Jiangling to defend, but it is just given to Xiao Auntie, it is really suspicious, could it be that she has secretly voted for Xiao Auntie?

With the current situation, it is a bit unfavorable for Tanzhou.

If you want to occupy Baling City, but Baling City falls into the hands of Sun Shouren, Zhou Shaoyu is really not easy to fight. Retreat to occupy the mouth of the oil river? It is difficult to predict how the situation in Jingzhou will be suppressed in the future, and Xiao Jiwen, who only occupies a small part of Jingzhou in the west, must attach more importance to the territory under her jurisdiction, and the mouth of the Youjiang River is not far from Jiangling.

As for directly attacking Sun Yu and directly occupying Jiangxia and Wuchang......

Does it hurt to be idle?

The location of these two places is of course more important, but it makes the Liang court even more vigilant, not to mention, and it also blocks the road for Xiao Yao's eastward advance, so why bother.

"It really can't be done, or we can simply abandon the inland waterways and shift the focus to South Vietnam." Li Lingyue proposed.

The reason why we want to occupy such a small piece of territory on the edge of Jingzhou is that the waterway is unimpeded, and the east can threaten Jinling, and the west will go straight into Shuzhou, which has obvious strategic implications.

However, the sea route is not bad, at least the coastal line of the girder can be threatened. As for saying that you can't enter Shu, the impact is not great, after all, taking the waterway is also a countercurrent, and there is no speed at all. It can be completely compensated by land.

Besides, no matter how you look at it, it is only right to destroy the girder first, who makes it the most powerful. Compared to this, Xiao Auntie is nothing at all.

So at this time, what is our biggest boss Gao Yuyao doing?

"Queen Mother, the county lord of Anyang...... She ......"

"What's wrong with her?"

"It has been difficult to give birth, and the fragrance and jade have damaged ......"

“！！！”

Gao Yuyao's face was calm, but the hand holding the water cup couldn't stop shaking.

God knows what's going on, he is obviously the best doctor in the palace, but in addition to today's Anyang County Lord, either the mother died or the child died, and even both died, and now he is the fourth, and there is only the wife of a first-class general who is safe and sound.

Can this not make Gao Yuyao afraid?

Her ideal child change object is naturally Princess Xinyang, and it doesn't matter if she has a difficult birth or not, as long as she can give birth smoothly, she can directly announce that this child is born by Princess Xinyang. But what if she didn't survive herself?

Then this Liang should be earthquaked, the Empress Dowager Liang suddenly hung up, or died of dystocia...... The forehead is dripping for a day, and I don't dare to think about it.

She may be able to say that a die-hard cronie is a die-hard cronie, but once she is dead, she can't hide the secret, and the news that Zhou Shaoyu is her biological father will naturally not be able to hide it, aha, then Zhou Shaoyu will definitely finish playing, and no matter how good his reputation is, he will have to become a public enemy. And ensure that his bunch of wives and concubines will make trouble.

Thinking of Zhou Shaoyu's anxious appearance, he couldn't help laughing first, but he didn't laugh after all.

Anxiety.

It is said that a woman's first child is a matter of life and death, and she didn't think much about it before, but today she is afraid. What's wrong with the Queen Mother, what's wrong with the power leaning towards the government and the opposition, it's not like she's going to die.

This can be regarded as Gao Yuyao's most vulnerable period, even more fragile than when she was trapped in Yancheng. Even, Gao Yuyao thought more than once, if she didn't recruit Zhou Shaoyu, no one could give half a consolation except him at the moment.

But her intellect told her never to do that.

This makes Gao Yuyao very unbalanced, why am I worried and uneasy here, and I have to bear the pressure brought by the ministers outside every day because I can't show up, and Zhou Shaoyu enjoys the power of his wife and concubine on the outside?

It's so unpleasant, there is wood?

Whew...... resolutely wrote a letter by hand, and then asked the die-hard to secretly send it to Zhou Shaoyu.

"Dear Zhou Lang, the old lady is pregnant with your seed, and she is going to give birth, is it not surprising, is it not surprised?"

Well, that's probably what it means, and it's full of ridicule.

Of course, it's like sending a gift to Tanzhou to appease, it has no practical effect, it's disgusting. Zhou Shaoyu must not believe it here, what, you are pregnant, and you are even going to give birth, why, I didn't see that so many of our girls didn't move, what's wrong with you, you are pregnant. estimated that he thought Gao Yuyao was playing disgustingly.

"Hmph, disgusting people are disgusting people, I won't let you live in peace, I'm not happy, don't think about being comfortable!" Gao Yuyao hummed and chirped, and her mood was a lot soothed.

At this time, a female official came to report: "Queen Mother, Silla has sent an envoy for help again......"

Before she finished speaking, Gao Yuyao was annoyed: "Come again? It's the seventh time this month! Didn't the mourning family let people tell the Jin envoys to pass the message, didn't those barbarian Jin people not listen to them and still attack Silla? ”

"This ...... According to the messengers of Silla, it seems that it is even more ......"

"Ha, that's so daring! I really thought that the mourning family didn't dare to kill now! "But no, I don't know if the Empress Dowager is in a bad mood now? Hum! "Proposed order, send 10,000 troops to the Penglai Naval Division, and transport 50,000 Qingzhou defenders to Silla to garrison!"

Gao Yuyao can also see clearly, Silla is not a climate at all, and Silla Baotou can be beaten by only 5,000 gold soldiers and horses. In this case, it is enough to simply take over and support a puppet, as long as it can ensure that the trade is profitable.

It's a good idea, but is it really that smooth?
