Chapter 388: Intentional
"Rong Di's sister and brother came along the stone road," Mu Hongshang pointed to the corner where Zheng Ying and Zheng Jin were standing before and replied: "King Xin and King Yi came from that side and went directly to the corner under the flower tree, looking over from this side of the stone road, just the pavilion and the flower wall were blocked, and they couldn't see it when they stood on the road, even if they were sitting in the pavilion, only the position I just sat on could see King Xin's sleeve." So I suspect that Shin Oh deliberately showed his sleeves to let me know they were over there. ”
"Deliberately?" Xie Shurou frowned slightly: "Are you sure?" ”
"I guess," Mu Hongsheng grinned: "Because after I saw King Xin's sleeve, he suddenly moved again and stood behind King Yi, I took a closer look, only to find that King Yi was also over there." ”
"Is that so?" As soon as Xie Shurou heard this, she was a little vigilant. She immediately smiled at Mu Hongsheng and began to change the topic: "Really, these two people suddenly ran over and didn't know what they wanted to do." Regardless of them, they are gone anyway. ”
"Probably because I'm not at ease, right?" Mu Hongshang didn't think much about it, but replied matter-of-factly: "I'm afraid that I can't suppress the Rong Di people, and the arrangements of the emperor and the queen have been in vain, right?" Just like you and your sister-in-law, we are worried that I won't argue with people. ”
"Honestly, you really impressed me today." Xie Shurou was excited when she mentioned this: "Just now you cleaned up the appearance of the sister and brother, it was really a blast!" So handsome! I'm about to bend my sister! ”
"What?" Mu Hongshang directly picked up a bowl of red bean soup from the table and stuffed it into Xie Shurou's hand: "Eh, what...... What is it? What is a bend? ”
"What's what?" Xie Shurou pretended to be stupid and blinked: "Oh, that's not important!" The important thing is, you're just amazing! ”
"I'll just say you don't have to worry about me." Mu Hongsheng's little brain was raised, and she was also very proud: "What's the big deal about not being able to quarrel with people, I can do it." Besides, I think that although I am not good at arguing with people, I can still make it clear that the Rong Di people have been harassing my Great Zhou border all the year round, so why are they so justified in front of me. ”
"That's right!" Xie Shurou couldn't help but nod like garlic: "They are invaders." Don't be so polite to the aggressor. At the moment, although they are putting on a low posture and want to negotiate peace, it is just because of the Rongdi civil war, they have no time to take care of the border battlefield, and they are just expedient measures, so we can't be fooled. According to me, what to talk about, it's better to destroy them directly while the fire is burning. ”
Of course, Xie Shurou can only be regarded as a partial understanding of the situation in the north, she is not a military expert, and her opinions on military strategy are only subjective assumptions, all of which are logical judgments of one line, and she does not care about the reality at all.
She really thinks that there should be no peace talks now, and she should take advantage of the internal strife in Rongdi to wipe them out, or at least try to weaken the military strength of the Rongdi people, so that they will not be able to invade the Great Zhou border in a short period of time.
Xie Shurou relied on life experience and the simple logic in war-related TV series and movies to judge reality, but in fact, she didn't understand the dilemma of the situation in the north at all, and she didn't think about it. Therefore, what she said was very reasonable, but Mu Hongsheng only lowered her head and was silent when she heard it.
"What's wrong?" Xie Shurou glanced at Mu Hongshang a little strangely: "Why didn't you suddenly speak." ”
"It's not that easy." Mu Hongshang replied in a low voice: "War is not that simple. Daddy, they also want to push the Rongdi people back in one go, but it's actually very difficult to do. At present, the Heavenly Eagle Department has eaten the second largest tribe of Rong Di, and its strength is actually stronger than before. Now that the war starts, even if they are worried that the small tribes will take advantage of the fire and rob, they will not put all their elite combat power into the northern battlefield, it will not be easy to deal with. Forget it, it's not interesting to tell Sister Xie about this, no matter what, our Mu clan will definitely do our best to guard the northern border. ”
"Red Dress." Xie Shurou immediately knew that she had lost her words, she reached out and held Mu Hongsheng's hand, and said quickly: "I'm sorry, I didn't have a brain to speak, don't listen to my nonsense." These things...... I don't understand it either, I'm talking nonsense, I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have an opinion on something I don't understand. The whole Great Zhou knows that the generals of the Mu clan are all the gods of war in the north, and whether they fight or make peace with Rong Di, others don't count what they say, only your father understands best. Hongsheng, it's my sister who is bad, can you forgive me? ”
"Sister Xie, don't be like this." Seeing Xie Shurou's nervous expression, Mu Hongsheng hurriedly shook her head: "There is nothing to say between our sisters, in front of me, any of your thoughts can be said frankly, there is no need to be so careful." It's too much for you to apologize for such a sentence. Besides, Sister Xie, you actually didn't say anything wrong. It would be nice if they could really take advantage of Rong Di's civil strife to drive Rong Di back to the Mobei grassland, and Daddy and they would like to do the same. In fact, Dad knows that making peace with Rong Di at the moment is tantamount to raising tigers, but there is no way, the current military strength in the north is limited, and it is impossible to achieve a quick victory. If the war drags on for too long, it will be even worse, we can't afford it. ”
Xie Shurou looked at Mu Hongsheng, who looked depressed, with wide eyes, and didn't speak casually to express her opinion. In fact, she really lacks military knowledge, and she basically doesn't understand what Mu Hongsheng said. As for the reason why there was no way to go to war immediately, she understood the limitation of military strength. She didn't understand why she had to fight quickly, and she didn't understand why Mu Hongshang would say that the war would be bad if it dragged on for a long time, and she couldn't afford it.
According to her original understanding, Da Zhou can't afford it, and Rong Di should be about the same, right? But before she could ask this sentence, she knew that it must be a very layman's stupid remark. Regarding the situation in the north, the Mu clan must know more than her.
She didn't understand Mu Hongsheng's words, but this didn't prevent her from understanding the depressed and worried look on Mu Hongsheng's face. In Xie Shurou's heart, Mu Hongshang has always been like a bright sun, warm and dazzling, and there is always a transparent smile like glass on her face.
In her heart, Mu Hongshang is the light, the only light in this world.
Xie Shurou had never seen Mu Hongsheng look so gloomy, as if there were dark clouds obscuring the bright sun. This kind of Mu Hongshang made her anxious and frightened, and she even wanted to reach out and wipe the haze off Mu Hongsheng's face, just like she was afraid that she would never see the sun again in this life.
Therefore, although Xie Shurou did not understand what Mu Hongshang had just said about the war, just looking at Mu Hongsheng's face was enough for her to confirm a fact without doubt: the situation in the north is indeed not optimistic, and the war or peace negotiations will not go very smoothly.
Xiao Hongshang showed such an expression, the situation in the north is indeed not good!
