Gao Yuyao wanted to do something, but found that it was not easy to start at all.

Whether it's Xiao Jiwen or Huo Feng, if you can still provoke it so easily now, it would have been provoked a long time ago.

In other words, the Central Plains region, unless you go directly to yourself, otherwise, it will not cause any trouble at all.

After thinking about it, there are only two places to start.

One is the South Vietnamese region. Wednesday Mountain married Black Pearl, so as to befriend the local forces, and before Gao Yuyao entered Dongyue Prefecture, it was with this to compete with the family forces and gradually become stronger. And now that the power of the family has been swept away by Gao Yuyao, according to the original plan, the next step is naturally to continue to encroach westward. However, because of the situation in the Central Plains, it had to be postponed. Therefore, Wednesday Mountain has been given time to develop steadily and accumulate strength.

But the girder is the girder, and in any case it is the orthodoxy of the Central Plains, the absolute royal family. If you are really willing to spend money to win over local forces, you will not be monolithic. After all, the composition of local forces is so complex that only a part of them needs to be co-opted to contain checks and balances.

And the other place is Silla.

With Gao Yuyao's values, Silla is useless at the moment. But it is undeniable that people still have a certain foundation, and Gao Yuyao can choose not to do it because she doesn't care. But if you vote for Zhou Shaoyu because of this, you will be very unhappy.

And if you want to do things in Silla, you must not think like South Vietnam, because all the aristocratic forces of Silla have been cleaned up, and it is still the strength of the Daliang garrison borrowed by the Queen of Silla. Therefore, it can only refer to the east of the country.

However, the East is now in the midst of civil strife, and it may be possible to send some men to loot and disturb it, but it is almost impossible for a large army to invade. After some thought, Gao Yuyao decided to support the forces of the Eastern Wa side to speed up the process.

However, the above is all for later, and it will take time to arrange it immediately. At the moment, the most important thing is the domestic war.

The problem of Jingzhou is no longer big, and Xiao Jiwen has no ability to expand further for the time being, or it will not be long before there will be a truce. Xiao Jiwen's thoughts she thought very clearly, it was nothing more than a plot against Xia Kou, but how could she be easily satisfied.

Learning from Xiangzhou's zero-cost city building, Gao Yuyao also got a wharf in a good way, the effect may be worse, and he also posted some money, but in any case, it was already a very small cost to build a new wharf, and it was attached to a naval barracks and a military port. And here, the newly recruited water master has already started to practice, even if the training degree is still insufficient, but Xiao Jiwen is not a water master, and she will definitely be caught off guard at that time.

In contrast, Qingzhou is obviously more of a headache.

Qingzhou is an important source of soldiers in Gao Yuyao's planning, and it doesn't hurt if it's just a little chaotic, because the chaos will make more people unable to eat and can't fill their stomachs.

But if it is too chaotic and causes erosion, then it is not what Gao Yuyao is happy to see.

The most obvious point is the Penglai Sailor, who is now unable to obtain enough supplies from the local area of Qingzhou, so he can only drive south to obtain it by himself. As a result, the control of the inland waters of Youzhou has naturally declined.

Wait a minute......!

Gao Yuyao's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, who is the most beneficial to the chaos in Qingzhou?

Fire Phoenix?

Apparently not.

Unless the fire phoenix is directly occupied and stabilized, it will not be able to obtain too many benefits in essence, at least so far, except for a few small cities, the only big city that has fallen is Licheng. In other words, there won't be much loot at all.

And the fire phoenix seems to be rampage in Qingzhou to stir up the situation, but it seems quite appropriate to run around like a headless fly. So here's the problem? Why?

I didn't think Silla wouldn't think much about it before, but now.

The decline in control of the sea meant that the liaison between Zhou Shaoyu's side and Silla's side was further strengthened. And if the Penglai Sailor is forced to move the station, it will be equivalent to liberating the newly built Sailor in Yuyang City.

In this way, Zhou Shaoyu is the one who has gained the most.

And in this case, new problems arise again.

Even if Huofeng is a pseudo-empress, but it is also the respect of the emperor, Your Majesty the Empress, why should she do her best to seek benefits for Zhou Shaoyu?

It's scary to think about.

Even if there is no direct evidence, Gao Yuyao has already concluded something.

"No, Qingzhou must not be chaotic, Penglai sailors must take root with Penglai!" A little cold sweat broke out on Gao Yuyao's forehead, if Huo Feng really secretly obeyed Zhou Shaoyu's orders, then his power ......

"Come on, quickly convene several governors of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, in addition, all the ministers and servants of the Ministry are summoned, and all the officials above the fifth rank of the household department and the military department are involved." Gao Yuyao ordered in a cold voice.

On that day, Gao Yuyao decided to go north in person.

At the same time, the changes in the steppes are striking.

After receiving the secret envoy sent by Li Xiuning, several cooperation plans were reached, everything was ready, Ashina Huqin gathered a large army and went to the front line, the intention was obvious, this is to start a decisive battle.

However, everyone is at a low point.

"No, it's not right!" After Yan De learned the information, not only was he not surprised, but his face was solemn. "There is a saying in the Central Plains, there must be a demon when things go wrong! Of course, I hope that the decisive battle will begin, but what does he take the initiative to fight the decisive battle? Isn't it possible to send him to death? ”

However, after thinking about it, I still didn't feel that anything was wrong, but the uneasiness in my heart never lingered.

"Is there any news from Youzhou?" Wan Yande rubbed his head and asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, no." The attendant next to him replied respectfully.

Wan Yande nodded, a little satisfied, that's right, it's just to talk more about the rules, like before, casually reply 'no', what kind of words is that.

At the beginning, the cavalry army was sent into Youzhou in order to destroy the water division. It is also taking advantage of the fact that the Youzhou army is still in the grassland to fight a time difference. After calculating the time, the Youzhou army has almost returned, that is to say, it is almost time for the cavalry to return.

"Pass me on...... Ahem, spread my will, and the whole army retreated fifty miles. "Wan Yande decided, since he can't see any plans from the other party, he simply avoids it for the time being, as long as he waits for the arrival of his own cavalry, under the absolute strength, he is not afraid of a conspiracy. It's just a matter of delaying for a few more days, and it's not a big problem.

Not long in the Turkic army.

"What? The golden man retreated? Ashina Huqin suddenly became suspicious, could it be that the Youzhou Army was discovered? But it shouldn't be, according to the direction, the Gulen Valley where they are hiding is behind their Ashina department, and no matter how powerful the Jin people's spies are, it is impossible to detect it. But if not, why retreat?

Gritted his teeth and ordered.

"Chase!"

So Wan Yande was also surprised, what is it? Ashina is chasing after you? Who gave him the courage!? If it was only speculation that there were ghosts, now there must be something wrong with it!

"Fifty miles back!" Wan Yande's face was solemn. "Also, quickly order people to go to the direction of Youzhou to investigate, and be sure to find out the situation of our cavalry."

After thinking about it, it can only be that there is a problem here, otherwise where will Ashina have the courage. Thinking that something might have gone wrong with his cavalry, Wan Yande was shocked and angry.

The Jin population is too small, and the death of a single one is a huge loss, not to mention a large number of casualties, which is undoubtedly fatal. Jin people can fight, but they can't fight for their lives.

Ashina Huqin chased again, and Wanyande withdrew again. And so on and so forth. It wasn't until Li Xiuning clenched his fists unwillingly and ordered someone to go and tell Ashina Huqin to give up that this incomprehensible 'war' stopped.

"It's useless, after watching Yan De's actions, he may not know about the Jin cavalry, but he is cautious and intelligent, he has seen the suspicions, and he will not easily start a decisive battle, and at most tomorrow, he will be able to get in touch with the Jin cavalry, and then the Jin will retreat. This time, there was no chance of revenge. Li Xiuning took a deep breath and felt very uncomfortable.

After working so hard in the grassland for so long, even Youzhou was harassed, but nothing was found. Although it was not directly defeated, it was lost in the overall situation.

"If you want to open some, he will definitely set foot in the Jin Kingdom one day!" Zhou Shaoyu comforted. "There will always be a chance, when you go straight to the Kanto region in Youzhou, I will attack in Silla and the rear, you and I will work together, just a golden country, not to be captured? After Yande was leaving, let him live a few more days. On the contrary, it was Ashina Huqin's side, and he had to think about how to deal with it. ”

In fact, Ashina Huqin is the most unhappy one. was hit by an arrow on the battlefield, although he survived without dying, but his body and bones were not as good as before, and for the arrogant Ashina Huqin, it was better to die in battle. So at the beginning of the fight, he was determined to die with the Jin people.

The result was good, I didn't expect it to end up like this.

What's next? Live?

Joining forces with Youzhou is only temporary, but what about the future?

Anticlimactic! There is no better word to describe it.

Unwillingly, think about his succession to the Khan, expelling Ainur and then ruling the grassland, invading Youzhou in one fell swoop, not to mention, recovering the Kanto, defeating Silla, and almost besieging the Empress Dowager of Daliang and the little emperor. If you look at these alone, there are a few people who can compare.

However, the situation has taken a turn for the worse, and it has fallen to the point where it can't even pull the strong bow. Even, it is impossible to ask for a vigorous battle to the death.

Is it possible to spend the second half of your life in such an ordinary and weak way?

How can it be.

"Ben Khan is Ashina Khuqin, a Turkic Khan!" Ashina's eyes were like fire. "Either you will become famous and famous, or you will ...... Even if you die, you can't be silent! ”

No one knows what Ashina Huqin plans to do next, this kind of person's idea is already extreme, and under the stimulation, it is even more difficult to figure out.

The Jin people have retired, and Zhou Shaoyu naturally has no reason to continue to stay on the grassland, so they will return to their teachers.

More or less still very depressed, if this battle successfully solves the hidden danger of the Jin people, and then gets rid of Ashina, then the entire northern land, there will be no worries. It is only necessary to further co-opt and assimilate the Turks, occupy and develop the granary of Kwantung, and then support Silla. Such a good situation, even if there is no force in the south, it has the strength to win the championship, let alone Xiangzhou, which is the real basic market.

It's a pity that although the Jin people suffered heavy losses this time, they were still able to put together tens of thousands of pure gold troops, plus the puppet army, the strength was still considerable, and it was not possible to destroy it for a while. And Ashina's department still exists, even if he doesn't know the next dynamics, he will definitely not be his own person. It's okay if you continue to fight with Jinren, otherwise it will inevitably become trouble.

"Well, go back and pay attention to the battle situation in Qingzhou first, if there is no accident, then go back to Silla, and don't get rid of Jin Guo's anxiety." Zhou Shaoyu shook his head, and he could only decide so.

When I returned to Youzhou, it was rare for the girls to relax and gather together to watch the play. It's just this drama...... Zhou Shaoyu was a little surprised.

Farewell concubine!

Li Xiangjun plays Yu Ji, and Xu Miaojin makes a cameo appearance as Xiang Yu.

"Pull out the mountains and cover the world. The times are not good, and the smos will not pass. It's not going to pass away, but it's okay! Yu Xi Yu Xi Na Ruo!" Not to mention, in addition to being thinner and more delicate, at least this sad appearance, Xu Miaojin is really good at acting, and I can't see that there is still talent potential in this area.

As for Li Xiangjun, needless to mention, as one of Qin Huai's eight Yan, and famous for singing songs, an opera is naturally her specialty. Not only every move and smile, but even the eyes in the eyes are extremely in place.

But here's the problem, the better they act, the more wonderful the face of Zhen Yuji who watched the play offstage.

Who am I? What am I doing? What are you looking at? My head is so dizzy, is this me? No, no, I can't imagine it. It's just a little singer, but there is such a drama? It shouldn't be.

But when you look at it, it doesn't feel right. As a woman, most of them will be a little sentimental, when Xu Miaojin played the Chu overlord Xiang Yu cried a few lines, when Li Xiangjun played Yu Ji raised the long knife......

"Woo woo woo ...... "Good guy, Yu Ji, this girl is crying!"

Originally, this is nothing, who can not be moved and touched? Just considering Yu Ji's identity, it feels very strange.

Not to mention that Zhou Shaoyu feels fresh, even a group of girls who are also crossing the crowd are very rare.

And then it was equally rare, the opera was over, Yu Ji also finished crying, wiped her little face, and wiped her tears.

"Huh? Why are they all looking at the concubine? Yu Ji touched her face unconfidently, could it be that her makeup was crying? No, I didn't wear makeup. Immediately realized, crying and laughing: "It's really touching, but, but that's all, you say it's a concubine, but the concubine really doesn't feel real, and it does feel weird at first, but that's it, after all, I'm still me, not me in the opera." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Shaoyu looked up to Yu Ji a few points, and whether he had other abilities to mention it for the time being, at least this mentality was flattened very quickly. This shows that the psychological quality is still passable.

I just don't know if there is potential in other aspects, such as Zhou Shaoyu's military or logistical talent that he first guessed.

Take your time, and there's no hurry. In contrast, Feng Ji's relationship with the other sisters has become more and more harmonious, and it is more worthy of happiness to truly become 'their own people'.

Speaking of which, Feng Ji is just a name and not a name, and after ancient women got married, they generally asked their husbands to take a table of words, but they didn't pay attention to this before, but now they feel like they can think about it.

PS: Who has an idea.
