For the southwest, Shu Sirui is familiar, of course, General Wang is also familiar with it, after all, he was with Shu Sirui back then, dealing with those restless tribes in the southwest.

Shu Sirui said this, which made General Wang fall into deep thought, indeed, the thing Shu Sirui said was actually very possible.

"It's a pity that our identities were exposed at that time, otherwise we could be more certain, but right now, the southwest is indeed in civil strife, I think that if it is really fighting, it is better to support one."

"You also know the southwesterners, know that they do not obey the discipline of outsiders, we are outsiders to them, so it is better to support a tribe, when that tribe manages the entire southwest, we are responsible for managing that tribe, so it is also worry-free."

Shu Sirui has actually been thinking about this matter for a while, there are too many small tribes in the southwest, and it is really troublesome to manage them one by one.

If it is said that the small tribes in the southwest are gathered into a large tribe, then the management should be easier to manage, but there is one point, we must always guard against their assembly and rebellion, after all, there was such a time back then.

"If you think that a large tribe may lead to the concentration of personnel and power, then merge several small tribes into one, so that a large tribe can also disperse several small forces, even if they are restless one day, it is better to manage."

After Shu Sirui finished speaking, he looked at General Wang, who was waiting for General Wang's answer.

"Master Shu, this idea of yours is really good!"

After a good silence, General Wang spoke, he looked at Shu Sirui and praised him.

Not only General Wang, but also the Dark Commander also felt very good, but right now, the two of them were discussing, and he was not very familiar with the southwest, so he could only listen from the sidelines.

The plan had taken shape, and it was easy to make arrangements for the next step, and General Wang sent someone to get the map, unfold it and spread it on the table.

At this time, the three of them had finished breakfast, and everything on the table was withdrawn.

"You see, these small tribes are suitable to become a larger tribe, this tribe called Yiluo has always been ambitious, but with his own ability, it is not easy to annex these small tribes."

"However, if we have our help, then everything will be very handy, and Ilo can easily annex a few small tribes and become the leader of those small tribes."

Stretching out his hand and pointing to the side of the map, General Wang said to Shu Sirui and the dark commander, Shu Sirui looked carefully, listening to what General Wang said, and a bright light flashed in his eyes very quickly.

"Look at it again, it's similar to Ilo, but these small tribes have almost joined forces, because the tribes that are slightly more powerful than them are always going to rob them."

"After a long time, they will take care of each other, which one is bullied, and the rest will go together to help, after a long time, the two sides will be deadlocked, but who to support, this has not been thought about."

Pointing to another place, General Wang continued to introduce, and Shu Sirui didn't speak, just listened to General Wang's introduction.

On the entire map, there are some small tribes, and General Wang introduced them one by one, Shu Sirui always listened carefully, but did not express his opinion.

After General Wang finished speaking, he turned his attention to Shu Sirui, after all, he hadn't spoken much, so General Wang didn't know what he thought.

There was silence in the room, Shu Sirui's eyes kept on the map, and General Wang and the dark commander simply sat down, drinking tea while waiting for Shu Sirui to come back to his senses.

"General Wang, after so many years, I didn't expect you to be so clear about the power of these small tribes."

After a long time, Shu Sirui finally spoke, and the words he said made General Wang's face change.

Not only that, but the Dark Commander also looked at him with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Even if General Wang didn't say it, Shu Sirui and the Dark Commander also knew that the guards on this side had just changed, after all, when they came here before, the guards were not General Wang.

Even if he staggered with them, it has been less than a month since he came, but he is so familiar with these small tribes, it really has to make people a little confused.

"Do you still doubt me? I really...... It was really sent by the emperor, and it was an edict at the time, so there was no edict, but I had a token given by the emperor, and it was really not good, if you can't believe me, why don't you write a letter back to the capital and ask? ”

Seeing that the eyes of the two were fixed on him, General Wang couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and he hurriedly opened his mouth to help himself explain.

"General Wang, don't be nervous, I don't doubt you anything, I just think that after so many years, you are still the same, and everything has been studied very thoroughly."

Looking at General Wang's appearance, Shu Sirui smiled and spoke, he returned his gaze to the map, and after looking at it for a while, he stretched out his hand to the map.

"The ambitious tribes were just easy to manipulate at the time, but I was afraid that later, if he really helped him swallow those small tribes, he should have some other thoughts, so I don't really agree with what General Wang said just now."

"Since this ambitious one always bullies some small tribes, then directly defeat the ambitious ones, and then hand them over to other tribes to share the food, of course, if you want to share the food, you have to abide by the conditions, and they themselves must also combine to elect a big leader to facilitate our management."

"Of course, they can also choose not to choose, if they don't choose, then we will get rid of the small tribes that resist together, and let them know what it means to prosper and perish those who follow me."

After listening to Shu Sirui, General Wang couldn't help but feel ashamed of his previous thoughts, no wonder people can become generals at the age of fifteen, which is indeed extraordinary.

"Just do what Master Shu said, to be honest, it's really a pity that you don't become a general, Lord Shu, this time you came out to help the emperor with errands, are you planning to return to the court?"

"I don't want to go back, this time it's just a help, and when I have time, I still want to spend more time with my wife."

Thinking of this escape from death, Shu Sirui secretly thought to himself, if he let Yunzhu know, he was afraid that he would not let himself out again if he said anything in the future.

Hearing Shu Sirui say this, General Wang couldn't help laughing, "I won't tell you, I also want to accompany my wife and children more, I hope that this time the battle will be spent safely, and then I can go home to see my children." ”

Speaking of children, General Wang's gaze was very soft, Shu Sirui looked at him, and at this moment, he still chose to believe him.

The matter was decided, and the next thing was to divide the troops and deploy several forces, and General Wang arranged several deputy generals and ordered them to break those small forces in the southwest.

Those who are willing to obey the command, the tribe can still survive, but they have to accept the management together with other tribes, and those who are unwilling to obey will simply be exterminated, so that from now on, they will not need to listen to anyone's management.

The team all set off, as a guard, it was naturally impossible for General Wang to leave the border pass, and Yunlin and the dark commander also stayed in the border pass, waiting for the soldiers to send back the good news.

There are still a lot of soldiers at the border pass, and to deal with some small forces, you only need to send out a small part of the army, after all, this is the border pass, and most of the forces still have to be stationed here.

…………

Yun Zhu didn't know about the situation at the southwest border pass, and after staying in Yun Mansion for a few days, Yun Zhu returned to Tan's house.

Speaking of which, because she is usually busy, Yunzhu has not been back to Tan's house for a long time, and she has been living in Yunfu for the past few days, and Old Man He has sent people to find her a few times.

Seeing Yunzhu coming back, the people of the Tan family were naturally very happy, although Yunzhu was not there, her room was still cleaned up every day.

"A few days ago, your second brother was still chattering, saying when you will come back, but when you come back, he is going to go out to work."

Holding Yunzhu's hand and sitting down, Tan Xin said with a smile.

"I wanted to come back before, but there were too many things at hand, but now, the store is finally busy, just waiting for the auspicious day to open, and I finally have time to come back."

Looking at Tan Xin's family, Yun Zhu smiled and said, the people in the store are almost the same now, although there are still fewer people in the back kitchen, but after all, they can find it slowly.

"Although you are busy, you also have to pay attention to your body, look at you, you have lost weight, I have lived at home these days, I asked the cook to make up for you."

Patting Yunzhu's hand, Tan Xin's tone was distressed, "I know, Old Man He wants to hand over the He family's business to you, but when you are busy with business, you still have to pay more attention to your body, and when Xiao Rui comes back this time, you can also have a child." ”

Yun Zhu didn't expect that Tan Xin's words and words would actually talk about the child, she lowered her head a little embarrassed, but she thought in her heart that it was indeed time to have a child.

Although his age is not very old, Shu Sirui's age is not young now, and if it is normal, children of his age can run all over the ground.

The mother and daughter chatted casually for a few more words, and Tan Xin suddenly remembered something and spoke again.

"Speaking of which, some time ago I got some fabrics and some bird's nests, and I can't finish eating here, and I don't lack clothes, I thought, you haven't been back to your home over there for a long time, or send someone to send it there, I'm buying some things, and you also write a letter to report peace to your family?"

In the end, it is Aiwu and Wu, because they are worried about Yunzhu, so together with the Yun family and others on the other side of the village, Tan Xin's family is also worried.

"I was thinking about sending someone to deliver something to the family these days, but my mother thought of it with me."

Smiled and nodded, what Yunzhu is looking forward to most now is that Shu Sirui can come back as soon as possible, and when the store is more stable, she will go back with Shu Sirui.

It's been outside for a long time, and she's homesick no matter what, even if she's doing very well now, but she still misses home.

Although the family is small, after all, it is where she grew up little by little, not to mention, there are many relatives there, and there are many friends, and when she returns there, she is more comfortable than in the capital.

The mother and daughter discussed it one by one, Tan Xin called the housekeeper, and then ordered to go down, and the housekeeper took the order and went down to prepare things.

"You are usually busy, go to sleep first, I will let you boil soup in the kitchen now, you can drink it when you wake up, and tell me what you want to eat at night, and I will let the kitchen prepare."

"Everything in the house, whatever it is, is good." Smiled and spoke, Yunzhu is not a picky eater, so there is nothing to like to eat.

Yun Zhu said so, Tan Xin nodded, she watched Yun Zhu leave, and then instructed the grandmother next to her to go to the kitchen to explain in person.

Back in the room, Yun Zhu looked at everything familiar in the room, and she suddenly felt that because Shu Sirui had been away for too long, everything she saw now could think of Shu Sirui.

After all, the decoration here also had Shu Sirui's opinion at the beginning.

Leaning back on the soft couch, Yun Zhu sighed, if Shu Sirui didn't come back, I was afraid that she would want to go to him.

In a daze, Yun Zhu leaned on the soft couch and fell asleep, Si Qi and Si Hua walked into the house lightly, and when they saw Yun Zhu asleep, they covered her with something.

In the past few days, the two maids have been left in the He family, and today I heard that Yunzhu returned to the Tan family, and the two girls also followed.

Seeing that Yunzhu was sleeping soundly, the sisters retreated lightly, and waited until it was almost time for dinner before they entered the house to wake Yunzhu.

"When did you two come back?" Seeing Si Qi and Si Hua, Yun Zhu's face showed a smile, "Ghost girl, you know that I came back, so you came along?" ”

"Miss, the slaves still think you don't want us anymore." When he came to Yunzhu's side, Si Qi blessed Si Hua with a blessing, and then he smiled and spoke.

"Where don't I want you, let you have a few days of leisure." stood up, let the two maids help him sort out his clothes and hair, and when he was ready, Yunzhu took the two of them to the main hall together.

When they arrived at the main hall, except for Old Man Tan, the rest of the people were there, and after Yun Zhu saluted one by one, he sat next to Tan Xin.

After saying a few words, when Old Man Tan came, everyone moved to the side hall and prepared for dinner.

Because Yunzhu has been absent for a long time, the Tan family naturally asked a lot of questions with concern, and Yunzhu knew that they cared about themselves, so they all answered seriously.

After eating, the family chatted casually for a while, and Old Man Tan pulled Yunzhu to play backgammon for a while, which allowed her to go back to her yard.

When he returned to the room and lay on the bed, Yun Zhu suddenly felt that it was better to be accompanied by his family, although he felt quiet in Yunfu before, but because it was too quiet, he inevitably felt uncomfortable.

Although the Tan family has no way to compare with the other side of the family, it has its own benefits, and I don't know if everything is okay at home?

…………

"Yun Niang, it's so late, go to sleep." Seeing that the Yun family was sitting on the kang and holding the letter sent by Yunzhu some time ago, Ning Yi knew that she was thinking about Yunzhu.

It's no wonder that Yunzhu has been gone for half a year now, and he doesn't know when he will come back.

"I don't know when she'll come back, although every time it's a lot of gifts, and they all say that she's okay, but I'm still worried."

It is said that the mother of the child is worried, the capital and this town are not just thousands of miles, not to mention that Yunzhu has been gone for so long, and the Yun family is naturally worried in his heart.

"Don't worry, I'm not sure I'll be back one day, don't you see what the letter says? Probably around the autumn harvest, I will come back, and I will accompany us for the New Year at that time. ”

Knowing that his wife was worried about Yunzhu, Ning Yi opened his mouth to persuade him, and on this letter, he wrote a rough return date, so that people could count it in their hearts.

"That being said, it's really painful to look forward to this day and day."

sighed helplessly, no matter what Yunzhu said, it was all the flesh that fell from her body, so no one could know how she felt.

"It's not early, go to sleep, if Zhu'er comes back and sees that you are thin or haggard, I don't know how to feel distressed! You also know that she married to that kind of family, and she must be very busy. ”

Taking the letter from Yun's hand, Ning Yi opened his mouth to comfort him, Yun nodded, and then took off his coat, opened his long hair three times, and lay on the bedding that had been laid.

Knowing the letter of Yun's treasure Yunzhu, Ning Yi helped clean it up, carefully put it away, and then went to the kang and blew out the oil lamp.

The night was quiet, only the occasional sound of insects and birds chirping, which could not be heard in the house in the capital, and it was also what Yunzhu hoped to hear the most.

…………

In a blink of an eye, it was finally the day when Yunzhu's shop opened, early in the morning, Yunzhu packed up, and he couldn't take care of breakfast, so he took Si Qi and Si Hua to Kelaixiang.

The guys in the store were busy cleaning up, and the merchants who delivered vegetables and meat also came, and Lao Xiao and his wife helped to transport the vegetables and meat to the back kitchen.

If it is hot today, in order to ensure the freshness of the meat, Yunzhu specially made a small Xiaoice cellar in the store, although the cost is a little higher, but after all, customers can eat fresh meat.

The guys were busy, and Yunzhu was not idle, so he went upstairs and downstairs to make sure that there was nothing wrong, so Yunzhu left the store and walked around.

After all, there are three stores, so Yunzhu has a lot of experience in opening.

There was no problem outside the shop at all, Yunzhu returned to the shop, the guys had finished cleaning, Yunzhu called everyone to him, and opened his mouth to say a few words.

After instructing the guys and letting them disperse, Yunzhu took Si Qi and Si Hua to the back kitchen.

"How's it going, the meat and vegetables are fresh, right?" Before the merchant sent something, Yunzhu just glanced at it, because there were Lao Xiao and his wife and the drunken chef Wu were there, so Yunzhu was very relieved.

"It's all fresh, don't worry!" Nodding, Sister-in-law Xiao looked at Yunzhu and asked her opinion.

"Shopkeeper, my small cold dishes are mixed well, just opened today, in order to prevent the guests from waiting in a hurry, do you want me to mix some cold dishes in advance?"

Sister-in-law Xiao's words came to Yunzhu's heart, indeed, this restaurant is different from Piaoxiangju, what you need is served directly and let the guests get it themselves, everything here has to be prepared on the spot.

"Cheng, just follow what you said, and then you will deal with some of the more difficult dishes in advance, pick and wash them, so as not to be in a hurry when you get it, you can rest assured, I am really busy, I will also come to help!"
