Lu Ruohan smiled, stretched out his arm over Fang Ji, and patted the back of Chu Junlan's hand soothingly: "Don't worry, I do have news to tell you, but it's not too serious." ”

Chu Junlan nodded, his face solemn.

Although she and Lu Ruohan are close friends, due to their identities and the different backgrounds of the two families, their daily interactions are controlled. It's not easy for them to invite each other to chat on weekdays, let alone invite her to their home like this? Today, Lu Ruohan can invite her to come in a post, it must be instructed, so that it may be what Lu Ruohan is about to say.

Lu Ruohan said: "As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, every time the imperial court wants to use troops, before publicizing the news to the outside world, you must always make an article first, what my father does You also know, those movements before the deployment of troops, my father always gets the news first." ”

"But Uncle got the news of the transfer of grain and grass?" After thinking about it for a while, Chu Junlan said with some surprise, "Could it be that the imperial court plans to use troops against the Northern Yuan?" ”

Lu Ruohan nodded approvingly: "I knew you were smart." The emperor is the lord of the Ming Dynasty, if it is true that our Dayong Dynasty is not strong enough and is threatened by barbarians like the Northern Yuan Dynasty, for the sake of the stability of the life of the people of the dynasty, we can also bear the loss. ”

"But the Dayong Dynasty is a prosperous era and a strong country." Chu Junlan recalled the events of the day, the emperor pinched his nose to welcome the envoys of the Northern Yuan Dynasty into Beijing, pinched his nose and gave Borno the title of "Grassland Co-Lord", for the sake of "main battle" or "main peace", Chu Hua even fought with King Gongding, and King Gongding was also grounded and punished......

Chu Junlan thought about it and suddenly realized: "It turns out that the emperor did it on purpose and deliberately made a play!" At that time, Borno Chen had 100,000 soldiers, although we could win a hard fight, but it would also be more laborious, and now Borno is complacent, relax his guard, and the two parts of the things they have united have also become a plate of scattered sand, if you want to win it is a good time! ”

"Junlan, you are so smart, my father and Wan Song told me about this matter, and I slowly figured it out, you can understand it at all!" Lu Ruohan nodded again and again, and said with emotion, "You are right, the emperor will not be willing to be bullied by the Northern Yuan people, everything before was because Ye Gongzi of the eldest princess's mansion gave the emperor a plan." ”

"Ye Gongzi?" Chu Junlan was surprised.

"Yes," Lu Ruohan's smile was full of appreciation, "Ye Gongzi is worthy of being the son of Zhuangyuanlang, he has learned not to mention, and he is also proficient in the art of war. ”

The envoys of the Northern Yuan Dynasty had already left with Xuan's mission. Now Borno should have received the will.

Lu Ruohan said: "At the same time that the emperor named Borno as the co-lord of the grassland, he also named Master Kong Xunkong as the co-lord of the grassland. You say it's funny or not. ”

"Master Kong?" Chu Junlan smiled shyly, "Ruohan, it's me who is lonely and unheard, and I don't know who Master Kong is." ”

"I can't blame you either, this Master Kong has been going to the Northern Yuan Dynasty for more than ten years, and I also learned his name from my father."

Lu Ruohan said eloquently: "You see that Borno has the ability to unify the Northern Yuan, the emperor has just practiced Zuochu, and when the Northern Yuan War was in chaos, he was only a person from a small tribe in the east. Their tribe was defeated by the rest of the tribes, and there was really no place to hide, so they hid under the city wall outside our Yanping Pass, where they camped and lived, and there was livestock manure everywhere outside our city wall, and the smell was high in the summer. ”

Chu Junlan made up the picture with his brain, and couldn't help but laugh: "He also has a way." ”

"Yes, he intended to ask for help, but the emperor and the ministers at that time were in trouble, some advocated driving people away, and some advocated taking them in, Ye Zhuangyuan and his friend Kong Xun at that time offered a strategy to the emperor together. Neither beating nor fighting, but arranging for people to support Borno's tribes. ”

Chu Junlan immediately understood.

"I see, support Borno, so that he has enough strength to compete with the rest of the tribes, so that the Northern Yuan will naturally be in chaos, and the east wind will not overwhelm the west wind, they will be in chaos, and our border will naturally be stable."

"That's right, you're really smart," Lu Ruohan nodded, "That's it." At that time, the strategy was adopted, and it was only a few years later that the emperor funded Borno's army, not to mention that he also arranged a military division, which was actually used to monitor Borno. At that time, Ye Zhuangyuan disappeared, and the emperor sent Master Kong to the Northern Yuan instead. ”

"Now Borno asked for the title of 'Grassland Co-Lord', and the emperor agreed, but then he sealed Lord Kong and also became the 'Grassland Owner', this title came two at once, Borno's idea of dominating was frustrated, and now it is in conflict with the forces of Lord Kong, and the Northern Yuan is caught in internal friction and is too busy to take care of itself, which is also the best time for us to 'quell the chaos'."

Chu Junlan shook his head and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

The original idea of supporting Borno was Ye Zhao's idea, and now the idea of pit Borno is gradually coming out of Ye Yi, these two are really in the same vein.

Lu Ruohan said: "Your father presented the prince and princess of the western part of the Northern Yuan Dynasty to the emperor, this is the east wind of this matter, now everything is ready, the east wind is strong, it is a good time to go to war." ”

When Lu Ruohan said this, his tone paused slightly, and he approached Chu Junlan and said in a low voice: "I heard my father say that the emperor is interested in King Gongding going on an expedition, do you think, if King Gongding goes on an expedition, how will you worship in the high hall when you marry the prince?" Naturally, the marriage will be postponed. ”

"I see." Chu Junlan was clear, but he still had some doubts in his heart.

Lu Ruohan's invitation today doesn't seem to be just to tell her the news.

She said this, among other things.

In her words, she seemed to mention Dingguo Gong several times. In other words, today's meeting was instructed by Dingguo Gong, and the news that Lu Ruohan told her was what Dingguo Gong wanted to tell her.

She is a little woman, what did Dingguo Gong tell her to do?

The person he really wants to reveal the news should be Chu Hua!

Thinking of this, Chu Junlan's heart suddenly brightened. It seems that the communication between her and Lu Ruohan and other female dependents is actually used to transmit news. It's the same thing she's done in her previous life.

Chu Junlan smiled a little self-deprecatingly, in her past life and this life, it seems that it is not easy to live a simple life, she is also too naïve, she always wants to live a life and be herself, but she doesn't want to go anywhere and these calculations are indispensable.

Chu Junlan and Lu Ruohan talked about business, and then began to talk in private, and when the time came, Chu Junlan smiled and said: "Ruohan, I'm leaving, my brother is coming to pick me up today, it's not good to make him wait for a long time." ”

"Your brother?" Lu Ruohan raised her eyes, her eyes were a little crystalline.

Chu Junlan said bluntly, and handed over the choice to Lu Ruohan: "It's my brother Zhan, do you want to go out and send me?" ”
