When to inform Jiang Feng of this matter has also become the most discussed issue in the Zhou family recently.

At the beginning, Zhou's father and son wanted to wait until Zhou Rui gave birth to a child and confirmed the man and woman before informing, but they felt that this was inappropriate.

Even if it is a daughter, it should be good news for Jiang Feng, who has no heirs, so the Zhou family intended to notify it immediately, but then Huaiyou launched a campaign against Yanyunyi, so the Zhou family felt that it might be more appropriate to wait until the battle of Yanyun ended to inform it, so as not to interfere with Jiang Feng's conquest plan.

Now that the battle of Yanyun has come to an end, what is more important is that the Huaiyou Army has made another move in Huainan and took Chuzhou in one fell swoop.

This move was not interfered with and resisted by Li Wu or the ant thieves, which means that Huaiyou already has the strength to do whatever he wants in the entire Huainan.

After taking Chuzhou, Huaiyou's strength in Huainan has been further strengthened, Luhao Chu and Sizhou are the granaries of Huainan, and Hezhou is narrow, but the geographical location is important, it is estimated that Huaiyou did not take Hezhou is also considered to be unwilling to stimulate Li Wu too much.

If Shuzhou is also included in the control of Huaiyou, almost all the central part of Huainan Province belongs to Huaiyou, and this area between Jianghuai and Huai is precisely the area with the largest grain production in the entire Middle Earth, and everyone understands what it means to master this area.

What's more important is that the main force of the ant thieves suddenly went south, broke through the Tianchang and Liuhe lines, and had crossed the river from the Guabu and Baisha lines, entered Runzhou, and immediately made waves in the south of the Yangtze River.

Runzhou and the neighboring Changzhou are the core of Li Wu, and Li Wu absolutely cannot tolerate ant thieves wreaking havoc in Runchang Erzhou, so Li Wu's army, which was originally stationed in Chuzhou and Yangzhou, also quickly rushed south to cross the river and fought fiercely with the ant thieves in Runzhou.

That's it, the ant thieves who had been active in Xuanzhou were also active at this time, constantly setting off offensives in Xuanzhou, making a mess of the entire Xuanzhou, and also moving closer to Runzhou, it seems that they are going to merge.

The drastic change in the situation made the Zhou family feel a little nervous, especially the confluence of Jiang Kou and the ant thief, and even became a part of the ant thief, which made Shuzhou extremely frightened.

"I don't know, but they've been discussing it in the flower hall for a long time. Qing Ying bit her lip and said, "Miss, if the lord decides, do you plan to go to Xuzhou or Shouzhou?"

Qingying knew that her young lady was absolutely unwilling to go to Luzhou, so there were only two choices, Xuzhou and Shouzhou, Xuzhou was in Huaibei, and the climate was drier than Huainan, not better than Shouzhou, Shouzhou and Luzhou were about the same.

"I'm afraid it's up to us. Zhou Rui's face also showed a look of apprehension.

She still doesn't know how Jiang Feng will react once she knows that she has this child in her belly, this matter has not been implemented for a day, she can't sleep all day, no matter how her father and brother say it.

In the flower hall at this time, the father and son were indeed arguing fiercely.

"Father, after Huaiyou took Chuzhou, the ant thieves were probably also attacked by Huaiyou and Li Wu, so they had to go south to cross the river, but now Jiang Kou and the two ant thieves are mixed together, and the power has become extremely terrifying, they can freely go back and forth between Xuanzhou and Shuzhou, our little strength is simply unable to resist, now although their focus is on Runzhou, but once Li Wu's main army goes south to fight with them, they encounter unfavorable battles, and it is very likely that they will have to return to Xuanzhou, then the possibility of returning to Shuzhou cannot be underestimated, and once they re-enter Shuzhou, we will not be as easy as last time。 ”

Zhou Yang almost shouted, waving his hands while using a strong tone to arouse the approval of his father and brother.

"Father, what the second brother said is very reasonable, Li Wu has no reaction to Huaiyou's occupation of Chuzhou, I estimate that even if Huaiyou occupies Hezhou now, Li Wu will not react, because now Li Wu's East Navy and Zhenhai have gone south to Runzhou to fight a decisive battle with the ant thieves, although the ant thieves are rampant, but look at their performance in Chuzhou in the past half a year, it is enough to prove that they still can't take much advantage of the elite army of the big feudal lords, once Li Wu's army defeats the ant thieves in Runzhou, the ant thieves are bound to find another way, and even split, but even if some of the ant thieves enter our Shuzhou again, it is an unbearable burden for our Shuzhou。 ”

"So you all think you want to ask Huaiyou for help?" Zhou Fu was very displeased, this seemed to be using the child in his daughter's womb to blackmail Huaiyou, it was too much to do a little, even if it was a transaction, it made people blush, but the reality in front of him was so grim that it couldn't help but make people anxious.

"Father, this is not contradictory to report to Huaiyou, we also signed a mutual aid agreement with Huaiyou, and Huaiyou also has the obligation to ensure our safety, as for the matter of the second sister, this is what has already happened, the second sister and the Yang family have also dissolved the relationship, and the gossip outside is irrelevant, if you really know the origin of the child in the second sister's belly, I am afraid that those guys will be silent immediately. Zhou Yang is still vibrant.

Zhou Fu also knew that his second son's words were very reasonable and in line with reality, but they were a little uncomfortable, but as the head of the family, he didn't dare to act rashly, and this was also an unavoidable fact, he had to accept: "Who will you send to Xuzhou?"

"Father, this matter still has to be done by the people closest to you, of course you can't go, either I or my eldest brother. Zhou Yang saw that his father was relieved, and he also breathed a sigh of relief, "The eldest brother still has to stay at home, let's go for a while, I may not have been to Xuzhou for a long time, just go to see how Jiang Feng is doing." ”

Zhou Fu glanced at his second son, but he understood his son's thoughts in his heart.

With the drastic changes in the situation in Huainan, the space for small feudal lords like Shuzhou to survive is getting smaller and smaller, especially with the attack of ant thieves in Huainan and Jiangnan, and the ensuing Li Wu and Yue Guo have begun to act, it is estimated that after the next round, those wealthy families in Jiangnan who only have one state and half a county will be swept into the pile of historical papers, and the small feudal lords like the Zhou family can survive now, which is probably the reason why Huaiyou does not have much energy to take care of it.

It is unclear where Shuzhou will go in the future, but as the two sons realize that Shuzhou is too small for them, like a frog at the bottom of a well, Zhou Yang, as the second son, originally wanted to compete with his brother who was obsessed with literary affairs for a position in the future, but now Zhou Yang does not have much thought in this regard, instead of fighting with his brother in Shuzhou, it is better to jump out of the small patio of Shuzhou and go to Xuzhou to find a better future.

The relationship between Zhou Lun and Zhou Rui is not very good, but Zhou Yang has a closer relationship with his second sister, with this relationship, coupled with his own ability, Zhou Yang feels that he can find a better place to go on the huge Huaiyou (Wuning) territory.

A steady stream of pack teams and donkey carts pulled grain, grass and all kinds of supplies along the east bank of Yishui, as well as horse teams and infantry teams were also passing one after another, and the man squatting on the edge of the stone mill at the head of the village shrank his head and seemed to look at the passing army with some numbness.

"Second son, I'm afraid this is going to be a war, right? It seems that there have been constant soldiers this month, and these grain teams, damn, it's really tempting, so much food, I'm afraid that the old and young masters in our village won't be able to eat it all in their lifetime. A ragged man lying lazily behind the stone mill licked his lips and sighed while looking for fleas on his body by the sunshine: "I knew that I would also be a soldier, and I could also mess with my stomach." ”

"You're lazy, a soldier, or you'll have to march in two days. The man squatting on the edge of the stone grinder did not turn his head, and said angrily: "You still lie in the village honestly, you have survived this year, maybe God will open his eyes next year." ”

"yes, everyone thinks so, alas, I just don't know if I can survive this winter. The lazy man sat up from the ground, "It is said that now we are in charge of Yishui, and the village also gave away some food a few days ago, maybe the county prince will give a little mercy this year, we can really get through it, I really can't get through, I can only take my daughter-in-law to the south." ”

"Who knows?" The man who was squatting next to the stone mill felt a little numb, stood up and moved his body, but he always stared at the road at the entrance of the village, and silently counted the pack teams and carts that had passed, and of course the infantry and cavalry.

In the past ten days, at least six armies of 15,000 men and horses have passed, one of which is a cavalry army, and the others are infantry troops, and there are also a large number of ordnance and equipment.

Tonight should be someone to answer the letter, but the Huaiyou (Wuning) army obviously not only stops there, but to make the words clear, and I don't know if there are other passing troops, this is not something that should be worried about himself, but he always feels a little unsteady.

"Da Lang, you are dangling around the village all day long and not looking for some food? Your mother is gone, what are you doing here?" The lazy man lying on the ground covered his eyes with his hands, looking at the still dazzling sunlight, "The day before yesterday, I was outside Wu Erbao's house at the head of the village, and I saw that the people in the village were cleaning up next to each other, and which people went out and came back, it seems that they all have to have an explanation, and they have to be proven, where have you been going out for more than a year?"

"Oh?" The man who didn't care too much about it tightened his heart, he came so quickly, and said that after Xiao Xian became the governor of Yi, he began to push this armor protection system in various counties, and it seemed that he was pushed to the countryside so quickly, and it didn't take long for him to come back this time, I'm afraid that it will be rare to escape the investigation, and it is not difficult to hide this encounter, but I am afraid that it will be included in the other party's sight, and it will not be so convenient in the future, "I go out to escape from the wilderness and have a full stomach, alone, what if no one proves it?"

"Hehe, I don't know what to do, it seems that I want to hang up in the village. The lazy man's answer gave the man a little headache, and sure enough.
