Chapter 1083: Cold Field
Zhou Shaoyu and his entourage were swimming in the mouth of the Youjiang River to enjoy the scenery and explore the terrain, but Jiang'an City, not far to the north, was nervous and could not be nervous any longer.
Although he entered the boundary of Jingzhou, Zhou Shaoyu was not afraid at all, the three warships were directly waving the banner of the Vermilion Bird Army, how could this not make Jiang Ancheng nervous?
It seems quite risky, but Zhou Shaoyu clearly knows that this move is safer.
He and Sun Shouren have not had a direct war, and they are at least not enemies on the surface, and they are even in the same group. If it is not necessary, Jingzhou will never take the initiative to attack Zhou Shaoyu. After all, one Xiao concubine and one fire phoenix are enough for Jingzhou to have a headache.
And Zhou Shaoyu didn't bring many people, although it could cause some trouble, but it was definitely not enough to attack the city or something. It was Jiang Ancheng who was nervous, but he was not afraid. Less than a thousand soldiers and horses are not enough to provoke people's sensitive nerves to that point.
It can be said that as long as Zhou Shaoyu plays honestly and leaves, nothing will happen at all.
Of course, I basically don't believe in Zhou Shaoyu's statement of playing, can't you go there to play, go here? And it's still this cold winter wax moon, who believes it, isn't it too cold?
Eh, the cold must be cold, if there is a choice, Zhou Shaoyu is not happy to wait for the girl to come out to play at this time, but he can't help himself, it is because it is the cold winter wax moon, and the government affairs are relatively scarce, so there is time for the sister to come out to relax and relax, and when it comes to the beginning of spring, not to mention being busy again, Zhou Shaoyu will not stay long.
Fortunately, compared with ordinary people, Zhou Shaoyu has a very unusual advantage, have you ever seen a cloak filled with down? The whole body is wrapped, and it is not too warm, which is not found in the big beam.
The cloak is said to have evolved from the cloth, and in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was mostly made of silk fabric, mainly to keep out the cold. Both men and women like to wear cloaks. Because this thing is sure to be a lot warmer. But there are also some rules, such as not wearing a cloak to salute, you have to take it off first, otherwise it is disrespectful to others.
In addition, the local capes in China are never hooded, and the snow hats and hoods that are matched are all separate and not one. For example, in the old version of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Guanzhang looked at the thatched house and there was a heavy snowfall, and all three of them wore cloaks, if you look closely, you will find this problem, the hats are actually separated, not connected, and the same is true of the old version of Dream of Red Mansions.
However, Zhou Shaoyu didn't care about this, and most of the girls were not sisters in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and they wouldn't be so exquisite, and they wouldn't care about the design of the cloak and hat that Zhou Shaoyu made at all. I just feel that this colorful style is indeed a little good-looking. With a fluffy hand warmer inside, you are not afraid to go out in winter, and there is no lack of beauty.
Of course, there is still a difference from the cloak in film and television dramas, the original intention of the cloak was to keep out the cold, and its design is inconvenient for hand movements. It's just that in this way, it can't pull the force and don't pull the wind, so the cloak in the film and television drama has become a pulling style wearing method with the front opening not closed, which can be found with a little attention.
Zhou Shaoyu has strong bones, and he is naturally not afraid of the cold, and he typically needs demeanor rather than temperature, which is this kind of pulling wind and wearing it. Otherwise, in the face of the siege of the girls, where can I free up my hands to fight back?
"I don't know if the weather is getting colder or if Ange's strategy has worked, but I haven't seen any water along the way." On the way back, Zhou Shaoyu wondered. After staying at the mouth of the oil river for a few days, Jiang Ancheng had already reported the news to Xiangyang, and Sun Shouren did not dare to hesitate, and immediately sent his cronies as envoys to test it, and also sent a lot of gifts. Zhou Shaoyu pretended to be missing, so naturally it was impossible to come forward, and let Li Qingzhao fool him and then set off to return.
"There must be both." It was Xin Xianying who spoke, and the female military division became more and more calm. "Although Sun Shouyi still has a residual prestige, the deceased has passed away, and it is not enough to suppress it, unless Sun Yu has a record that can be handled, and the Jiangxia sailor has secretly won over and controlled it, otherwise he can only be bought with heavy profits. The Sun family may be rich, but Sun Yu may not, even if it is purchased, it is limited, and it is impossible to make the Yunmengze area so peaceful in a short period of time. However, from beginning to end, An Ge's strategy only achieved the goal of further containing Sun Shouren and making Sun Shouren completely restrained, and he did not intend to fight him seriously. But that's enough. β
"Hmm, in your opinion, what is the result of Sun Shouren?" Zhou Shaoyu asked again.
"Unless the overall situation changes, it is almost certain to lose. Of course, Sun Shouren, as a famous general, is by no means a person who does nothing, and at this moment, he may take measures to try to be safe, but once things develop to the point where he must work hard, he must be decisive and break his wrist, Xiao Jiaowen wants to eat Jingzhou, and the price will not be too small. Xin Xianying replied.
"It makes sense." Zhou Shaoyu nodded, and couldn't help but ponder.
If Xiao Yuwen is too strong, of course, it is not what Zhou Shaoyu is happy to see. But the same is true of being too weak. Obviously, if Xiao Yao's power is too weak, then it is impossible for her to start a war against Da Liang, but Zhou Shaoyu still looks at Xiao Ji to take the lead and fight Da Liang. So it seems that it depends on the situation at that time, and I can't say that I have to help Xiao Jiwen more.
Naturally, you can't help in vain, and while helping, you always have to take some benefits.
In addition, it is best that Sun Yu and An Ge are reliable, and continue to sit in Jiangxia after the Jingzhou Raiders, so that the Yunmengze area can become Zhou Shaoyu's back garden. Even if the military role is removed, is it conducive to trade and trade in all directions?
In the blink of an eye, the first large-scale war of the new year was launched by Ashina Huqin, and the target of the attack was naturally the Jin people. This move is not entirely a personal outrage, but also a holistic consideration.
With Ashina's current strength, it is almost impossible to compete in the Central Plains, not to mention that more and more tribes are out of control. If he doesn't do anything, he, the khan, will sooner or later become a nominal khan. It is necessary to find a way to rebuild strength.
Of course, the poor ghosts of the gold miners will not gain anything, and there will not be too few casualties. But it's not okay to be partial.
There's no way to clean up the tribes on the steppe that are out of control? Believe it or not, as soon as the army was mobilized on this side, many tribes on that side immediately ran to the city to defect to Ainur without saying a word? And the southern expedition is also useless, and the defense of Bingzhou has been impregnated, and Yongzhou and Youzhou have not recovered at all, in other words, these two places are very poor, and it is not good to fight.
Then there is only one place left, the country of Silla.
Because of the experience of conquest of Silla, Ashina Huqin clearly knew how weak the Silla kingdom was, but the wealth of the partial family was not at all. If you want to regain strength, there is nothing more suitable than this, wealth, population, why not? Maybe the Silla people did win a little weaker, but it doesn't matter, they have women, as long as they are pregnant with the Turkic species, how can they become more than half of the warriors after more than ten years.
So the problem arises, if you want to conquer Silla, you must pass the pass of the Jinren. Not only is there a feud between the two, but now they regard Silla as their own small treasury, how can they casually give it to Ashina, then, whether public or private, fight.
It's just that even a war of different races is obviously not the concern of the people of Daliang, and it has nothing to do with them whether they are killed or lived. That is, Zhou Shaoyu always pays attention to it, and specially dispatches a large number of scouts to investigate and pass on the latest information. If necessary, he would rather help Ashina Huqin than let the Jin people rise, and he didn't want to encounter the legend of 'Jurchen is not satisfied with ten thousand'.
As for the interior of Daliang, it is quite peaceful for the time being, and even Xiao Jiaowen did not send troops to attack Jingzhou at the first time. It's just that although Xiao Jiwen did not send troops, the news she made was not small at all.
Marriage!
That's right, Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess of our Liang Shu Kingdom, is actually going to get married? And the object of the big wedding ......
"What? Tibetan Zampu? Zhou Shaoyu was shocked. Isn't that nonsense? β
Isn't that a joke? It is impossible for Tubo Zampu to get rich, and in turn, it is impossible for Xiao Yuwen to go to Tubo to be a queen, to put it bluntly, even if the two get married, that is, it is a form, and it is a form of quite a form, such a marriage is not reliable at all. Could it be that Xiao Jiwen can stabilize Tubo with this?
"That's not true." But it was Wu Meiniang and Li Lingyue, the strange mother-daughter combination, who said in unison, and then the two daughters looked at each other in surprise, and said in unison: "You say ...... first"
"You two really have a tacit understanding!" Zhou Shaoyu laughed, waved his hand and said, "Mei Niang, you can say it." β
"Okay." Wu Meiniang didn't shirk it, glanced at Li Lingyue, and said: "Tubo and Xiao Jiwen have had a war, there are casualties among each other, and there is a feud. And the marriage move, even if it is just a formality, can promote the friendship between the two parties as quickly as possible, which is very important for Xiao Jiwen, who has the intention of sending troops to take Jingzhou. Xiao Jiwen will not be naΓ―ve enough to stabilize Tubo with this, there are not enough benefits, and it is useless for Tubo Zan Puzhen to marry Xiao Jiwen, it is a key point, it is still in the opening of the market between the two parties, mutual trade, and mutual exchange. Although there is not much information at present, judging from the clues, Xiao Jiwen intends to refer to our city, and the address should be located at the junction of Tubo, Shuzhou, and the Western Regions......"
"Refer to the market?" Zhou Shaoyu's face is a little weird, that thing is so easy to imitate, on the surface, it is a big bazaar, and there are quite a lot of entertainment industries, but in fact, the existence of the market is to play economic control, monetary control, and financial means, there are a lot of doorways here, how can ordinary people have fun, if Xiao Yao's wife really has this plan, at most it is just a virtual appearance.
Shaking his head, this is actually not the point, the point is in Tibet, and Tubo can really completely stop the war just because of the mutual opening of the market?
"At least in the short term." This time, Li Lingyue answered. "Tubo has gone through decades of civil strife, the vitality is greatly damaged, although there is an old Zampu to recuperate, but the complete recovery is far from in a hurry, if the inference is correct, Tubo previously sent troops, but also to seek more benefits, its core is still based on cultivation and savings. Originally, I wanted to tie up the big ship of the Liang Imperial Court for the time being, but the distance between the two was too far, and there was Xiao Jiwen as a barrier in the middle. Therefore, as long as Tubo is not stupid, he knows how to make a trade-off at this time, rather than only getting the verbal preferential treatment of the Liang court, it is better to cooperate with Xiao Jiwen nearby to get benefits. β
"Tubo, ah......" Zhou Shaoyu nodded his fingers, speaking of Tubo, he always couldn't help but think of the Tang Dynasty, Princess Wencheng and her relatives all knew about it, at that time, in the short term, it was indeed to a large extent to promote the friendship between the two countries, there must be small frictions, but there were not many big wars. But in the long run, the loss is big. It is really Princess Wencheng's dowry is too rich, and all kinds of skilled cattle are married in the past, isn't this to increase the strength of Tubo, and in ancient times, the technological progress was very slow, Tubo learned the technology of the Tang Dynasty, and the technology of the Tang Dynasty did not have much innovation, so the advantage was naturally not there, so that later Tubo became a disaster.
Now it seems that Xiao Jiwen is not exempt from vulgarity. In fact, it is not difficult to understand that in ancient times, the overall social environment did not care so much about the so-called technology, and naturally did not pay so much attention to it. can stabilize Tubo with some craftsmen and books, in the eyes of the world at this time, it is definitely a good deal, and they will think that Xiao Jiwen has made a lot of money.
It's just that although Zhou Shaoyu can see it clearly, he can't control Xiao Yao's sister-in-law, so he can only watch. I still have a headache thinking that this Nima is the rise of the Tibetan and Jin people, and has created two future enemies, and I am drunk when I think about it.
"Sister-in-law Xiao is getting married." But Li Qingzhao suddenly laughed playfully, looked at Zhou Shaoyu and said, "Zhou Lang is interested in seeing a wedding?" β
Zhou Shaoyu's face was dark, the secret conversation in Jingzhou before, and the small action under his table was discovered by Li Qingzhao, so at this time, he was obviously making fun of him. Look, the girl you're interested in is getting married, so I ask you how you feel in your heart? It's true that people are married, but what if they do a full set of real cave rooms once?
"What am I going to do when someone gets married? Instead of a cave house, and then give me a son to 'win without a fight'? Zhou Shaoyu rolled his eyes, he was definitely not happy, but he didn't care so much.
After speaking, Zhou Shaoyu regretted it, the first half of the sentence is fine, the problem lies in the second half of the sentence. This is the problem of heirs, for so long, there is no son and half a daughter, everyone is anxious, it seems that they have become the hearts of the girls, as soon as this remark comes out, it is strange that it is not cold.
Baza Baza mouth, heart said, do you want to find an opportunity to go to the modern society again to examine it carefully? It's not a big deal to keep going on like this. The letter from that side not long ago, the mother-in-law who was snatched by Wednesday Mountain was pregnant, and Thursday Mountain also reacted, that is, he was here, quietly.
But then again, if it weren't for this reason, Li Qingzhao would never sit back and watch Zhou Shaoyu pull so many girls back, is it really not jealous? But who let all their girls not give cubs, although it is not their reason, but in case a new one can give birth to a cub...... Well, who can say for sure?
