With the development of the times, changes in thinking, and social pressure, more and more people are no longer so eager for future generations, and even have no plans to have children at all. This is particularly evident in some countries, where the country is ageing, marriage rates are declining, divorce rates are rising, and mortality rates are higher than birth rates.

However, this aspect is still quite good in Huaxia, and the inheritance of the bloodline of the heirs is probably more important. After all, even in the new era, there will still be many traditional ideas that are circulating.

This is still the case in later generations, not to mention the ancient sisters, whether they can give birth to cubs, this is the top priority, it is related to the status of women, the prosperity and inheritance of the family, and the result, not to mention that the branches and leaves have been scattered, that is, there is no single seedling.

It's just that they don't know that there really is a lone seedling......

"It seems that Tubo is still good friends with Xiao Jiwen." Gao Yuyao stroked her stomach and sat on the chair lazily, not showing any anger at all about the matter between Tubo and Xiao Yuwen.

Well, it's not good to be angry, and the mood swings are too great, which will affect the child, so you have to pay attention to self-cultivation.

Gao Yuyao thought like this, and continued: "It doesn't matter, Tubo is too far away, and it doesn't border our beam, if Tubo is strong, it will naturally take a long-distance and close attack, but since it is mainly for recuperation and coveting benefits, collusion with Xiao Jiwen is also expected." It doesn't matter, sooner or later there will be a fight. But the situation in Jingzhou ......?"

This really gave Gao Yuyao a bit of a headache, Jingzhou didn't need anything else, if it was occupied, it would be occupied, and it didn't have much impact, but Jingzhou could directly reach Jingshi by water, which was indeed quite fearful.

In fact, Zhou Shaoyu also values this, once Xiao Yaowen has the ability to further directly threaten the Liang, then the war between the two sides will be completely inevitable, and he can sit and watch the mountain tiger fight with peace of mind.

The most obvious example, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Hong Xiuquan worshiped God in Jintian Village, Guiping County, Guangxi, and after capturing Yong'an, Guilin, and Quanzhou in Guangxi, he went straight to Hunan, attacked Changsha, Yiyang, and Yuezhou, and then went straight into Hubei, took Wuchang, Jiujiang, and then what? Straight into Anhui, down to Anqing, Wuhu, and finally directly take Nanjing to establish Tianjing.

It can be seen that even if Jingzhou is not close to Jinling, if there is a real fight, it is really uncertain.

The only thing that can make Gao Yuyao feel more at ease is that Xiao Yuyao currently has no water master available, so even if she can still take the water route, it will be much easier to defend. At least the current girder is not the girder of a few years ago, and I dare not say that the soldiers are strong and strong, but they are by no means weak.

Having said that, it is better to keep Jingzhou or keep it, but the problem is that Gao Yuyao does not want to directly intervene in the war now, and after thinking about it, she can only temporarily mobilize some more troops to be stationed in Huizhou, depending on the situation.

After all, the most important thing now is the sea trade, although the Silla country is now in a much recession, but fortunately, the sea trade route to the East has been opened, and the pirates along the road are basically cleared, according to the latest information, the East is in civil strife, and dozens of village chiefs are fighting back and forth. Well, what is it said to be called?

I thought that there was no trade to do in this situation, and I didn't want to order a lot at all, what calligraphy, painting, porcelain, tea, so that the blades wanted to buy in large quantities, the former is easy to say, just sell it, this is a huge profit, as for the blades......

"To a few prime ministers?" Gao Yuyao was quite speechless, waved his hand, and said, "The mourning family remembers, there are still a lot of replaced old ordnance in the warehouse?" Let's sell these. Small island country, are you afraid of becoming a threat? By the way, what are the new policies in Tanzhou? ”

This is not concerned about Zhou Shaoyu's career, but for the sake of Liang, Zhou Shaoyu's regime has not been recognized by the world's corporal doctors, but the rapid development of the people's livelihood is stable, according to intelligence, its degree of popular support can be described as extremely high.

Gao Yuyao will not be blinded, since people can do this, it shows that people's new policies have their own merits, perhaps because of the interests of the class, some of them cannot be implemented in Daliang at all, but there are always some that can be learned. Just like during this time, Gao Yuyao has gradually begun to raise the status of craftsmen and encourage invention and creation, a few days ago, a craftsman from the Military Ordnance Department contributed the method of making a bow and crossbow, this crossbow has a longer range, and the speed of replacing crossbow arrows is also much faster, Gao Yuyao hereby gives the title of official.

Although this move caused some dissatisfaction in Shilin, considering the enthusiasm of today's craftsmen, many of the technologies that were squeezed in the past have been contributed, and this harvest is enough to offset these so-called dissatisfactions.

Besides, what about dissatisfaction? Could it be the other way around? Believe it or not, punish your nine clans! Sooner or later, this world will be the baby in his womb, and whoever dares to come will not be finished with anyone.

Well, I can't make it a mistake to finish with anyone, today's big beam is basically Gao Yuyao's word, don't look at the posture of delegating power now, but who really dares to deny Gao Yuyao's decision? Just like the Jiajing Emperor of the Ming Dynasty in Chinese history, his 20 years of not going to court will not say whether it is good or bad, but the imperial power has never fallen.

What's more, Gao Yuyao is currently hidden behind the scenes, just to hide the fact that she is pregnant, and after the delivery is completed, she will still come out and control it directly, and no one will dare to jump at that time.

After the spring ploughing season, Xiao Yaowen finally sent troops, obviously Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has regarded Jingzhou as her own territory, otherwise there is no need to wait for the spring ploughing to march into the army, which obviously does not want to destroy Jingzhou's grain production.

Jingzhou has always been a large grain-producing state, occupying this state, under the condition of good weather conditions, the grain harvest of this state alone is enough to feed the people of several states, the world was peaceful in the early years, and it has always been necessary to transfer grain from Jingzhou to meet the needs of other states. In the past few years, the world has been in turmoil, and the imperial court has lost its real and substantial control over Jingzhou, and there is no need to transfer grain to the outside world.

And if there is food, it means that there are people, and if there are people, it means that there are soldiers. Xiao Jiwen has no commercial means, and she can't make money like Zhou Shaoyu, and under the general environment, her thinking maintains a thorough agriculture-oriented, which shows how important Jingzhou is to Xiao Yao.

For Xiao Yao's army, Sun Shouren was very decisive, and gave up the places that should be given up directly, and even the city was not wanted, and they all gathered and retreated. This is also a helpless move, the fire phoenix forces are pressing the border in the north, and the sailors of Tanzhou also enter Yunmengze unscrupulously.

Sun Shouren's troops are limited, and he is restrained by such two sides, if he scatters his troops again, wouldn't it be a food delivery to people? If you simply give up some places and concentrate your forces to refuse, then there is still hope to hold on.

As a result, the situation created was that the territory north and west of Xiangyang was completely abandoned, and it was completely prepared to rely on the defense of Xiangyang Jiancheng, so that the troops were full and the grain and grass in the city were sufficient. The south side is guarded by the big city of Gangneung, the north and south of the two cities form a straight line, and there is a waterway behind to figure it out, although the distance is not close, but it is enough to help each other.

In order to ensure that in case of emergency, the eastern part of Jingzhou and Jiangxia and Wuchang respectively left enough soldiers and horses to ensure that the back road was not lost, and it was possible to rely on the naval army in the rear to entangle with Xiao Jiao with the convenience of sufficient waterways, and the latter was the one who had no water division.

Overall, as long as it is not a serious three-party joint attack, there should be little problem in holding these turf.

Of course, this is without the unexpected.

Today's Xiangyang has finally closed its four gates and entered the wartime alert, but the tension in the city is still not strong, and it is still believed that Xiangyang City is solid, and it is not that Xiao Jiao can take it, to put it bluntly, Xiao Jiao's strength is so much, this time plus the auxiliary soldiers, there are only 100,000 people who will come to attack, if it is not because of the north and south containment, even the defense does not have to be guarded, and it can go out to fight a tough battle.

It's just that this kind of blind optimism can't last long.

"What? Has the message ever been confirmed? Is my nephew really in Jiangxia? Sun Shouren was stunned, surprised and angry, and even his hands trembled a little.

There is no need to ask more questions at all, the information sent is clearly written, even the deputy marshal of the Jiangxia Navy Division has been cut (the commander is Sun Shouren himself), if the news is uncertain, how can the spies under his command pass it on?

"These idiots!" Sun Shouren simply gritted his teeth, he didn't have to think about it to guess, Sun Yu was obviously caught in the divisive scheme and it was quite deep, that guy now 100% regarded him as the enemy who killed his father.

And since even the Jiangxia sailor can be persuaded by him, it can only show that not only Sun Yu, but even the public already thinks that Sun Shouyi is his victim. And Sun Shouyi has always been deeply supported by the soldiers in commanding the Jiangxia Sailor, although the generals have changed, but the soldiers are still those soldiers, plus the former generals are all by Sun Yu's side, so it is naturally not difficult to persuade the Jiangxia Sailor to surrender.

This is good, the territory in the west and north has been completely abandoned, and Jiangxia in the back has become independent again, cutting off Sun Shouren's back road, although there are still people and horses left in Wuchang County, but with these people, how can they beat Jiangxia.

Sun Shouren thought hard about how to break the situation, but what he didn't know was that he was annoyed, and Xiao Jiwen was also annoyed.

"What the hell is this Sun Yu doing!" Xiao Jiwen was furious.

Sending Ange over, it was naturally her handiwork, and according to the original plan, she was preparing to divide and plot against Sun Yu, so that he could stay in Xiangyang City in order to break the city. After all, Xiangyang Jiancheng is guarded by famous generals, and it is too much to attack and suffer too many casualties.

The result? Out of town!

That's it, because the next plan is not bad, persuade the Jiangxia Sailor to win over Yunmengze Shuikou, so that a large force can be formed, not to mention, it can also cut off Sun Shouren's back road.

But even so, it is definitely not this time to raise the flag!

Cutting off the back road of Xiangyang, this move can certainly affect the morale of the Xiangyang army, but in the same way, if there is no way to retreat, it will definitely arouse the heart of Xiangyang to fight to the death, Sun Shouren is not a mediocre person! In this way, the price of her Xiao Sister-in-law to take Xiangyang will only be greater.

"Accidentally leaking secrets, as a last resort!?" Is it a fool to be a monk! Xiao Yuwen sneered and threw away the secret letter in her hand. "Ha, what a last resort, the earlier private tandem has not been leaked, is it over but known? The intention of wanting to support the army is simply too obvious! Ange, Ange, ask this palace to say what are you good about! ”

Xiao Jiwen was very annoyed, because Sun Shouren's concession also made her very comfortable and took over a lot of land, except for the grain and grass and other materials in the city were basically moved, the population or something was basically undamaged. But in the current situation, how to fight next?

Storming Xiangyang or Gangneung? Even if it is taken, there will be heavy casualties, and there will be no way to deter Jiangxia at that time, so give up if you don't attack? Wouldn't it be in vain to have been preparing for so long?

Well, after Sun Shouren fell into hard thinking, Xiao Jiwen also faced a dilemma.

However, Zhou Shaoyu was also unhappy.

"I didn't expect that the ambition of this Ange is far greater than we thought." Zhou Shaoyu was very depressed.

How did An Ge say it in the first place? What she wants is status and celebrity posterity. And then what? It is clear that it is just to stabilize Tanzhou. Otherwise, it would not be at this juncture anyway.

The strategy mentioned by An Ge did not lie in the slightest, but the implementation was smoother than imagined, Jiangxia Sailor plus Yunmengze Shui Kou, in a short period of time, actually pulled up a force of up to 70,000 soldiers and horses.

This is also because with the name of Sun Yu and his deceased father Sun Shouyi, if it is replaced by someone else, it really will not have this effect. And the number of water robbers hidden in Yun Mengze is far beyond everyone's guesses, at this time, after analyzing again, I suddenly noticed that in the early years of the chaos in the north, a large number of displaced people fled south, not everyone was so lucky to be taken in or the generation was pulled to Tanzhou or Chenghuizhou, more people had to fall into the grass, and Jingzhou, there is no more suitable place than Yun Mengze.

Not to mention that it is good for hiding, there are also a lot of caravans, and grabbing a grain ship is enough to eat for a long time. At this time, Yun Mengze's hidden water is simply not too much.

And Sun Yu's team at this time was basically all the cronies and diehards left by Sun Shouyi, and the entire Yunmengze Shui Kou suppressed under the leadership of Sun Shouyi was almost extinct. There is no one who is more familiar with Yun Mengze than them, so where is the best place to hide people, all of them are clear, find a quasi, and then scare and woo, under both soft and hard, the matter of recruiting peace is smooth.

Even if there is no arrangement from Xiao Yaowen and Zhou Shaoyu's intentions, how can it be that the incident should be delayed and give Sun Shouren a fatal blow at the right time. This is the way to maximize the effect, and the credit is most obvious. And raising the flag early, obviously I didn't plan to take the so-called credit, why? Because I don't care, I don't plan to really mix under your hands.

In this case, even if Xiao Yu's wife wins the final victory, and Sun Yu is forced to gather 70,000 people and has to give face to her official position, she will definitely try her best to prevent weakening, in other words, Sun Yu is unlikely to be reused in Xiao Yu's underground, so the so-called undercover for Zhou Shaoyu in Xiao Yu's underground is not even more of a joke.

"That's really, who gave her confidence?" Zhou Shaoyu shook his head and said. It's okay, it's okay, fortunately, it's a shame that this girl didn't get entangled with her in the end, otherwise it would be a disaster.

Xin Xianying frowned and looked at the map, how can I say that An Ge is also half of her apprentice, and the apprentice does this kind of thing, she is also ugly, after a while, she said: "An Ge's move seems to be very risky, and it was taken by Yuzhou Huofeng and Shuzhou Xiao Concubine." The Liang court and our Tanzhou are sandwiched in the center, but there may not be no solvable situation. ”
