Although Gu Shao was shocked, he quickly looked calm, "Your Majesty, no matter what Mrs. Derui's true identity is, Weichen believes that Mrs. Derui is patriotic, and she has always been loyal to Your Majesty and Da Zhou, and she has never been disobedient at all. ”

General Zhao smiled and asked, "Master Gu, let's hear it." ”

Gu Shao replied: "When Weichen was really inspecting Jiangnan, he met Liu Pan'er, who was fleeing the famine. At that time, the conditions were bad, and she was able to give up her adopted son and daughter, as well as the villagers, and used her wisdom to lead everyone to settle down in Jiangnan. ”

"She's good at spotting small things, and she's even better at farming. Those sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn were later found by Wei Chen in the dense forest where Mrs. Dre had fled. However, because it is wild and neglected, the sweet potatoes that grow are only two fingers thick at most, and the corn cob is also very small. ”

At the beginning, Liu Paner thought that someone might track it down, so she buried some sweet potatoes and potatoes in some places and sprinkled corn kernels.

Unexpectedly, at this time, it came in handy.

Gu Shao didn't believe that such a woman would betray Da Zhou because of her ambiguous identity, and she would betray Da Zhou, who made her famous all over the world.

Gu Shao's words were justified and well-founded, which made Emperor Zhou Ping even more relieved.

General Zhao thought so, it was not good to intercede directly for Li Yuanqing, but he could speak for a good woman like Mrs. Derui.

"Your Majesty, even if Mrs. Drey is the daughter of Lamour, it doesn't matter, anyway, Mrs. Dre has a heart for our Great Zhou, just do it."

Emperor Zhou Ping laughed, "Of course I trust Mrs. Derui, and not only that, but I also trust Li Yuanqing very much. This Li Yuanqing is a military general who crawled out of the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses, if I doubt him, I am sorry for the immortal achievements he has made. ”

Hearing Emperor Zhou Ping say this, General Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty is wise, this Li Yuanqing is indeed a fierce general, brave and strategic, given time, he can be above Weichen, and he will definitely be able to expand the territory for His Majesty." ”

Emperor Zhou Ping smiled, thinking deeply, and then turned around and walked towards the huge picture behind him.

"Now that King Latour of Beijon is seriously ill, several princes have returned to Dadu and begun to compete for the throne. Among them, Ramel supported the Four Princes, the least powerful and the most remote. Now he wants to cooperate with us, then help the fourth prince to get to the throne, and then give Beiyun City to Da Zhou. What do you guys think? ”

Gu Shao did not rush to express his position, but thought carefully according to the content on the excerpt.

General Zhao also walked to the Kanyu map, as a general, he has seen all the Kanyu maps of the Great Zhou since he was a child, and even the Kanyu maps of neighboring countries, he also knows them by heart.

General Zhao's eyes were serious, and he stretched out his hand to the location of Beiyun City, "Back to Your Majesty, this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack." In addition, Ramour's words may not be credible. If we use our people in Beirong to help the fourth prince ascend to the throne, and they turn their faces and deny it, we will work in vain and suffer a big loss. ”

Gu Shao also nodded, "If you want us to help, of course you can, you must be sincere." If they help us capture Beiyun City at a very small cost, we can convince us of their sincerity, and we are willing to help them. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Zhou Ping's smile became even stronger, and then he took out the defense map of Beiyun City that Ramor handed in.

"This is the defense map of Beiyun City handed in by Ramour, and there is also an internal response. If we send troops to attack Beiyun City, someone will be in the city to meet the army of the Great Zhou, and even open the city gate. ”

When General Zhao heard this, he immediately took over the cowhide cloth defense map in the hands of Emperor Zhou Ping, and did not care about the etiquette of the monarch and the ministers.

After looking at it for a while, General Zhao's face was overjoyed, "Your Majesty, this is indeed the defense map of Beiyun City." Although the defense map we investigated is different from these, it is not much different. ”

Gu Shao pondered for a moment, "Then now we have to confirm Ramour's surrender, is it true or not?" ”

General Zhao waved his hand, "Your Majesty, Lord Gu, whether it's true or not, this proposal is worth our try." ”

Gu Shao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Yes, we can't let go of such a good opportunity." If Ramour is really sincere, we can also take the opportunity to get Beiyun City. If it's fake, we'll do it and add chaos to Beirong. In their struggle for the throne, we can also take the opportunity to act and seek stability in the north for decades. ”

Emperor Zhou Ping laughed, "Yes, so I want to prepare with both hands, and then I want to send my eldest brother to guard the north, so that Li Yuanqing, a fierce general, can enter Beirong and capture Beiyun City, if it doesn't work, it can also make Beirong suffer." It doesn't make sense, we have been passively defending in Da Zhou, and at the right time, we must also take the initiative to take the initiative and occupy the initiative. ”

When General Zhao heard this, his eyes lit up, "Your Majesty is wise, you can defend and attack if you retreat like this." ”

Gu Shao also praised, "Your Majesty is wise. The previous dynasty was turbulent and corrupt, the court was turbulent, and the people were struggling to make a living. Beirong took the opportunity to go south and captured Beiyun City, which was ruled by the Central Plains Dynasty. If we can recapture Beiyun City, we will not only be able to restore the glory of the Central Plains, but also provide a natural barrier for the Great Zhou. ”

"In addition, a person like Mrs. Drey, who is good at farming, will surely be able to convert barren land into fertile land. At that time, the army in the northwest will also be used, so that the soldiers can settle there, distribute land and farm tools, and reward those who have military merits. ”

"When you are busy, you can farm, when you are free, you can train, and when there is war, you can immediately take up arms to resist foreign enemies. With such a strong army and people, it will inevitably be able to further consolidate the rule of the Great Zhou. ”

Emperor Zhou Ping seems to be able to imagine such a grand occasion, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the current northwest is impregnable.

Therefore, Emperor Zhou Ping felt that Gu Shao was reasonable, and he would borrow such a management method when the time came.

There will be enough food and grass in the locality, and there will be enough troops.

With such a large area of land, there can still be tax revenue, the national strength can gradually become stronger, and the land can be more and more.

Emperor Zhou Ping nodded, full of spirits, "That's very good." I immediately ordered, eldest brother, brother-in-law, the north is handed over to you and Yuan Qing, and Mrs. Derui, and I am waiting for your good news in the capital. ”

"In addition, after the two of you arrive in Mulberry City, you must explain to Yuan Qinghe's Lady Derui that I trust them as always, and there is absolutely no suspicion. The reason why I sent you here is to act more prudently, to retreat and defend, to advance and attack, to ensure that nothing goes wrong. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." General Zhao responded and respected Emperor Zhou Ping's wisdom even more.

Such an emperor is worthy of allegiance.

Gu Shao also hurriedly responded, "It's Your Majesty." Mrs. Dre and General Li are both loyal and righteous people, and they must be able to understand His Majesty's deep meaning. ”
