Zuo Lan stayed for three days and left satisfied, during which he was summoned by the king to enter the palace twice. Before leaving, I didn't bring anything else, and took a large stack of recipes with me. In her words, this is the sincerity of the partners, and the recipe can earn a lot of money when they take it back.

He still left with Hua Cuo, after all, he came together, and Hua Cuo had to go back from Tianlong.

Chu's four great guards and Xiao Jiu also returned, and Xiao Jiu brought his mother and brother. Unlike Xiang Bei's imagination, his mother looks quite young, that is, in her thirties. As soon as I inquired, I found out that they got married at the age of thirteen. The world is really different.

His mother could do chores at home, but his brother had some difficulty arranging it. His brother's name is He Ba, and he doesn't know how this family is named, there is no one, two, three, four, five, six or seven, but directly eight or nine.

Xiang Bei asked Chu for mercy, if he didn't let him work with those female workers and do some sewing work, just sit like that, maybe he could deceive a daughter-in-law. There seem to be quite a few of those little girls who are unmarried.

Chu asked He Ba what he meant, and He Ba expressed his reluctance, saying that he had a broken leg, but he could still walk on crutches. Because of the broken leg, I don't want to sit all the time, and I prefer the feeling of standing.

After He Ba finished speaking, Xiao Jiu told him: "Brother, don't do this. The princess and the gentleman give you a job to live on, don't pick and choose, it's better than not being able to do anything at home, right?"

His mother also said that this is not the same as at home, and he cannot do anything willful.

He Ba nodded: "I know my own situation, and sitting may be more useful." I just said what I thought, I didn't dare to pick and choose, everything was arranged by the princess and the husband. But I still have to say, I don't think it's so unbearable, I can work in the fields at home on weekdays, but I can't do all the work like ordinary people. ”

Xiang Bei laughed: "Well, I like your words very much, because my leg is broken, and I don't want to sit all the time." In this sentence, there is a little bit of fighting spirit, which is quite positive. Then you can help me tinker with my big garden, spring is coming, and it is time to plant it. A tasteful garden is the master of the family. In the summer, there is a place to sit. How's that, have faith?"

"I was born to farm and fiddle with the land, and I have confidence. He Ba said yes.

"Good, good faith. It's decided, let Bai Xue arrange your accommodation, just come and rest. ”

Xiang Bei didn't want to waste too much time with them. At this time, the palace manager suddenly appeared at the door: "Princess Xiang Bei greets." ”

Xiang Bei glanced at him: "I told the king that I didn't want to see you, why did I send you." Hurry up and say something. ”

The general manager is angry, and every time he sees Xiang Bei, he has to be angry. But he can only endure it, who made Xiang Bei have a high status now.

The chief manager saluted Chu with pity: "I have seen the princess, the lord of the country has decreed, please invite the princess and Mr. Xiang to enter the palace to discuss things." ”

Chu said that he knew, and he would go immediately.

Little Grains jumped up: "Go find Doudou." ”

Chu pity told her: "This time I entered the palace not for fun, you practice hard at home." I'll go into the palace with your master and come back immediately. I guess it's the border again. These neighbors really don't stop, and as soon as their prince leaves, they start to do things. ”

Chu took pity on the order to bring the horses and rode into the palace with Xiang Bei. Don't ride in a carriage anymore, that thing is annoying.

In a pavilion in the palace garden, Xiang Bei wrapped his clothes tightly: "Big brother, what are you doing sitting here on this cold day?"

At this time, the king, Zhiyun and Feng Yilei were all there, and the four brothers had made it up. The king told Xiang Bei that the weather was okay today, and it was better to go out to bask in the sun than to be stuffy in the house.

Chu pity asked himself if it was a bit redundant, their brothers discussed things with each other, what were they doing by themselves?

The king laughed: "If the royal sister doesn't come, I'm afraid that the third brother won't come." Wang Mei and the third brother are inseparable, and neither one can be missing. ”

"Are the two of us so close?" Chu sat down, peeled a banana, and told the maids to retreat, so that the king could hurry up and get down to business.

The king introduced: "This time it is Lu Changguo, who suddenly increased his troops on the border. I've already sent a document to ask, but it's not interesting to wait for them to give a perfunctory answer. This is obviously going to be detrimental to my country, so I will consult with you. ”

Xiang Bei asked Zhiyun what he thought?

Zhiyun replied that Lu Chang was not to be afraid, and the existing soldiers on the border were enough to guard it. If there is a real battle, it is not too late to increase the number of troops. Now the key is to understand the trend of the blue ocean, and the blue ocean country is the most headache.

Xiang Bei nodded, saying that he would focus on the key points, and asked Feng Yilei what he thought?

Feng Yilei scratched his head: "Third brother, you know that I am stupid, let me fight, it is okay to let me fight, and predict the enemy's plan, which is absolutely impossible." ”

"Whoever asks you if you're stupid, no matter how stupid you are, you have an idea, say it. Xiang Bei's tone was not good, and he was annoyed by the modesty of his mother-in-law all day long.

"Yes, then I'll tell you about it. I don't know how to fight, but I do know that the neighbors are deliberately attacking or simply fighting together. It's a tough battle for us. ”

"Isn't that very good, I also think things are like this" Xiang Bei praised him, and then asked him, about what the blue sea did in Tianlong, does the old general know now?

Before the wind and thunder could answer, the king said that he already knew. Before that, he had already discussed with the old general. The old general now knew very well that the blue sea was going to be unfavorable to Tianlong.

"Then the eldest brother didn't ask the old general what he thought, the old general is the professional. ”

"The old general said that he should know himself and his opponent, and he could not draw conclusions for the time being. I've told the old general about your earlier speculation that they might attack from the clouds. The old general has ordered people to sneak into the blue sea, ready to find out the movements of all the troops in the blue sea, not the few troops on the border."

"The old general is really doing things, and a few of us are just squatting here and talking on paper. But since I want to talk, I will tell you about the conclusions I have reached with the princess. ”

After Xiang Bei finished speaking, he was just about to speak, but Chu Pian hurriedly raised his hand: "I'll come, I'll say, I and Lao Xiang have long assumed that Lu Chang will also participate this time." ”

"That's how I analyzed it with Lao Xiang. Chu took pity to grab a few peanuts and fiddle with them on the table: "This blue sea in the east, this cloud above, Lu Chang below, and cold in the west." The four countries want to eat my great heavenly dragon, which is the orange in the middle. Chu took pity on grabbing an orange and put it in the middle, and the king said that this was a good analogy, bigger than four peanuts.

Chu pity grimaced at the king and continued: "It's better to keep the previous guess unchanged, the real attack of the blue sea is launched from Yunxiao, in fact, this guess is basically certain." At that time, once an attack is launched, as Yilei said just now, this is a joint operation, and several other countries will inevitably cooperate, and they must have colluded and discussed, so I and I will do the same.

At that time, our forces are scattered, and it will be difficult to concentrate defense, and even if we already know the enemy's purpose in advance, the northern city may not be able to hold it. And once the northern city could not be defended, the enemy bypassed the northern mountain range, and arrived at the Red Leaf Castle, which Kuei had already arranged, and entered our royal city from the east. Even if the traitors in Momiji City are removed, we may not be able to hold it.

But we have one thing that we can take advantage of, that is, if we want to attack from the direction of the clouds, there is a premise that the golden river can only come over when it is the hottest summer and the river is the thickest to freeze. Until the hottest hour, people can come, and the carriage with heavy loads can't pass. This is still months away.

In the past few months, we can first deal with the small country of Handu, and on the other hand, we can send troops to Lu Chang, and if we can't beat them, we will also beat their troops to the south side of Qianjue Mountain, so that Lu Chang's main offensive road will be easy to defend according to danger, and a small number of troops will do. If they want to make a detour, let them detour, and although we can set up an ambush, we can't contain too many people.

Get these two countries first, and then we will only have the north and the east to fight, and the east will definitely only be a feint, we just need to hold the north. What I regret the most now is the battle of the Heavenly Wolf Plain, I didn't listen to Lao Xiang, and went directly to Falling Snow City. ”
