The night is getting deeper.

In the temporary camp more than 50 miles northeast of Minghu Mountain.

Jotun stood by the campfire in the big tent of the Chinese army, quietly listening to Lu Zhongyi's high-minded talk in front of him.

After he blurted out the first two steps.

Jotun, who was standing by the campfire, blushed unconsciously.

If the first step plan in Lu Zhongyi's mouth is a mediocre cliché.

Then the second-step plan in his mouth is tantamount to an earth-shattering statecraft.

This move can greatly divert many contradictions within the Xiongnu.

Second, it can capture a lot of fame and prestige for Jordan.

Don't underestimate this invisible and intangible prestige.

Sometimes this invisible and untouchable thing can be as powerful as thousands of troops.

With such a plan to kill two birds with one stone, how can Jordan be unwavering?

Inside the big tent of the Chinese army.

Jotun forcibly stabilized his mind, and once again bowed with the gift of the Central Plains: "Dare to ask what is the third plan in Mr. Mouth?"

Lu Zhongyi paused slightly when he heard this, and then slowly said the third step plan.

Its so-called third-step plan is simply to unite with the King of the Right Valley, and take advantage of the fact that the reinforcements of the Great Zhou have not yet fully arrived, and carry out more attacks on the existing Great Zhou soldiers.

Of course, this attack was dominated by the king of the right valley, supplemented by the king of the left valley.

This ploy seems to make Jotun bow his head and be "small".

However, in fact, it was the casualties of the right valley Liwang that Jotun won great fame and prestige in advance.

This three-step plan can be fully implemented.

So no matter where the war between the Xiongnu and the Great Zhou ends up.

Jordan will be the biggest beneficiary in this battle.

Inside the big tent of the Chinese army.

Lu Zhongyi's voice fell.

Jotun grabbed Lu Zhongyi's hands with a flushed face.

"Sir is to me the same as ten thousand horsemen!"

"When the war subsides, I will seek a prince for Mr."

Jotun shook it vigorously several times, and then spoke with excitement on his face.

When Lu Zhongyi heard this, a strong sense of ecstasy instantly appeared in his heart.

Jotun's appearance as a figure of ten thousand horsemen shows how high his status is in Jotun's heart at the moment.

It is important to know that 100,000 cavalry commanders means at least 100,000 troops.

With this metaphor, it is really not high.

"The last general, thank you for your love."

Lu Zhongyi forcibly stabilized his mind, and then saluted respectfully again with the surrender of the Huns.

Jotun nodded imperceptibly, a smile on his face full of excitement.

......

......

A few days later.

A huge dragon composed of 5,000 foot soldiers, 3,000 cavalry soldiers, nearly 10,000 people, and auxiliary soldiers slowly arrived at the foot of Minghu Mountain.

Li Guangli and a group of generals went to the foot of the mountain to greet him.

As soon as he received Li Ling, the general of the expedition to the north, he had not had time to greet him too much.

Thousands of elite riders suddenly walked slowly in the distance.

A pole of the word "forest" will be the flag under the arch guard of thousands of elite riders, and the sound of the Tao will be heard in mid-air.

So far.

The imperial court ordered the northern general Li Ling and the first general Lin Heyun under the command of King Zhao, and successfully merged with Li Guangli's department.

After dark.

The generals of all armies gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army in Minghu Mountain.

Discuss the plan of counter-attack.

Meanwhile.

In the temporary camp of the Xiongnu more than 50 miles southeast of Minghu Mountain.

A grand bonfire dinner banished all that was left after the defeat a few days earlier.

And the protagonist of this bonfire dinner tonight is one person besides Jotun, the king of Zuogu Li.

That person was one of the two 10,000 cavalry commanders under the command of Mu Liangha, the king of the right valley

Tiefu Bear!

And it's just the advance army sent by the King of the Right Valley this time.

Recently, as Jordan has almost revealed his shortcomings, the defeat of Minghu Mountain has been made public.

The Xiongnu instantly set off layers of earth-shattering waves within the Xiongnu.

At the same time, a large number of elite reinforcements from the Great Zhou Dynasty reinforced Mobei, and the news that they wanted to destroy the country in one fell swoop was also quickly spread by Jordan in private.

As soon as it spread ten, ten, hundred, and thousands, the news soon spread to nearly half of the tribes in Mobei.

With the passage of time, it will not take long to spread throughout the land of the Xiongnu.

And every time the news passes through the mouth of a person, the meaning of fear is easy to increase invisibly.

With the continuous arrival of reinforcements from both sides.

A larger-scale and more far-reaching "national war" has invisibly kicked off the curtain of death.

......

......

Time flies.

Late October.

In the south of Fuyang City, in the Qingfeng Courtyard, the ancestral residence of the Zhu family.

It's more than halfway through.

The sun is just right, not arrogant or impatient.

The breeze is also good, blowing slowly.

Zhu Wanning, the daughter of the Zhu family, sat in the pavilion in the courtyard generously.

The heart-warming sunlight shone around him, and unconsciously reflected Zhu Wanning's jade-like cheeks.

A beautiful woman in a splendid silk skirt sat in front of Zhu Wanning.

With a look of envy, he looked at the red pill book in his hand and slowly recited: "The two surnames are married, and a contract is signed."

"Good ties are forever, matching the same name."

"Look at the peach blossoms scorching on this day, it is appropriate to have a room at IKEA."

"The melons of the year of Bu Ta are endless, and the erchang is blazing."

"I would like to make a promise with a white head, and write to Hongjian."

"Good will be the alliance of red leaves, and the mandarin tree spectrum."

"This card."

The end of the book.

The beautiful woman in the splendid silk skirt slowly lowered the red pill book in her hand, and sighed with envy on her face, "What a beautiful marriage book."

Zhu Wanning's already reddish cheeks instantly became even more rosy when she heard this.

"It is said that this book is written by the prince himself."

Zhu Wanning lowered her head with a blushing face, and said in a voice like a mosquito.

"Yo." The beautiful woman in the splendid silk skirt joked when she heard this, "This hasn't passed the door yet, so she changed her name to the prince?"

Zhu Wanning's face became more and more ruddy when she heard this, like a ripe hawthorn fruit.

Seeing Zhu Wanning was speechless for a long time.

The beautiful woman in a splendid silk skirt sighed deeply.

Then he slowly spoke, "I really envy you when I say it."

The beautiful woman in the splendid silk dress was none other than her.

It is Zhu Wanning's boudoir friend, the second largest family in Shanggu County, the daughter of the Fanjia family.

Hearing this, Zhu Wanning slowly raised her head and looked at Sanskrit Qian in front of her.

There was an indescribable complexity in his eyes.

If it weren't for this boudoir friend, how could he have understood Xu Yi in every detail.

And then the affection for it is deeply rooted.

Now.

She is about to become Concubine Xu Yi very smoothly.

And his boudoir friend can still only be admired alone, and in the end, he can't.

The complex meaning in Zhu Wanning's heart can naturally be imagined.

"Don't."

"But don't look at me like that."

Sanskrit Wenqian clasped her hands and scratched the goosebumps that didn't exist.

When Zhu Wanning heard this, the complicated color in her eyes did not have the slightest intention of retreating.

On the contrary, it became more and more intense.

Seeing this, Sanskrit Qian sighed slightly.

Slowly lower your hands and return to a seated position.

Only then did it slow down again

He said slowly, "Wanning, you don't need to be like this, even if there is no you this time, His Royal Highness King Yan will not choose me."

"Don't forget, on the day I went to the Yanwang Mansion to give the Buddha bone relics, there was a woman who always walked with you and me."

"That person is Qu Yutong, the daughter of the Yuyang Qu family."

"This man is above me, regardless of his life or appearance."

The words fell.

Sanskrit Wenqian sighed deeply again.

As the daughter of a family, how could she not understand the twists and turns behind the word "marriage".

Since that day, I saw the figures of Zhu Wanning and Qu Yutong in the Yanwang Mansion.

Sanskrit Wen Qian had no other thoughts in her heart.

Zhu Wanning sighed softly when she heard this, wanting to comfort her friend, but she really didn't know where to start.

"Alright." Sanskrit Wenqian shook her head slightly, threw out some distracting thoughts in her heart, and then chuckled, "Don't talk about this."

Zhu Wanning nodded slightly, and then stopped speaking.

The boudoir friends who used to talk about everything in the past have fallen into a rather strange silence for the first time.

I don't know how long it took.

Sanskrit Wenqian slowly raised her head and took the lead in breaking the ghostly silence between the two.

"That's right." Sanskrit Wenqian seemed to suddenly think of something, and then asked, "Have you ever set a big day for your wedding with His Royal Highness King Yan?"

"It's settled." Zhu Wanning nodded slightly when she heard this, and then slowly replied, "Twenty months of the month."

"The twentieth day of the lunar month." Sanskrit Qian muttered in a low voice.

Then he asked in a little surprise, "This is probably too anxious."

In this era, in order to show respect, marriage often needs to be prepared for at least half a year.

Zhu Wanning and Xu Yi's wedding has only been prepared for more than two months.

It's a bit too short-lived.

It is different from the original wedding of Xu Yi and Wang Qiujin.

Xu Yi and Wang Qiujin have only been preparing for more than five months since Emperor Zhengde gave their marriage, and the real wedding has only been prepared.

But don't forget, it was Emperor Zhengde himself who gave the marriage.

What could be more honorable today than the marriage of a monarch himself?

Zhu Wanning's face pale slightly when she heard this.

Then his eyelids slowly lowered and said, "This was unanimously decided by Grandpa and the prince after discussion."

"Why?" Sanskrit Qian's face was puzzled.

It must be known that the family has always been particularly important to face.

If there is no special reason, how can the family ignore the face of the family.

If Xu Yi deliberately suppressed?

Judging from the information that Sanskrit Wenqian has learned, there is absolutely no such possibility.

In his opinion, the Zhu family and the Yan Wangfu are already good enough to wear a pair of pants.

How could Xu Yi deliberately do that act of suppression when the two families were close to each other.

Zhu Wanning sighed slightly when she heard this, and then slowly raised her head to look at Sanskrit Wenqian.

With a serious face, he said, "Don't spread today's words."

Sanskrit Wenqian's heart froze, and then she said with a straight face: "And relax, don't you know what I am?"

Zhu Wanning nodded slightly, and then said in a low voice: "Ten days ago, in the land of Liaodong, there was a disaster and snow in the sky."

"At the beginning of the month, the Yellow River was diverted, and the imperial court has not yet responded to it."

"In addition, the vassal kings of various places were ordered to send troops to fight against the Xiongnu, and at this time, the land of Mobei is afraid that there is already a river of blood."

Sanskrit Wen Qian couldn't help but tremble when she heard this.

These three pieces of news seem to be bull's head and wrong horse's mouth.

But if you taste it carefully, you can see the great "heavenly opportunity" hidden in it.

First, in the land of Liaodong, there is a disaster and snow falling from the sky.

As the saying goes, Ruixue is a good year.

But if this snow lasts forever, then it is not snow, but disaster snow.

As soon as this disaster and snow comes, God knows how many frozen bones will appear in the land of Liaodong.

If the local government has no countermeasures, the land of Liaodong is afraid that there will be chaos.

After all, people can't live happily, so where will they care about the so-called law?

Second, the Yellow River was diverted.

This matter is both big and small.

The Great Zhou Dynasty has been more than 200 years since Emperor Taizu opened the country.

In the past two hundred years, the Yellow River has been diverted at least nearly ten times.

Every time Fang changed routes, the imperial court would send a large number of officials and soldiers to accompany the people along the way to overcome the difficulty.

Although the cost is huge, the good news is that people's livelihood can always be restored in the shortest possible time.

In turn, the losses of the people and the court were greatly reduced.

However, I don't know if this time it was because the imperial court had no money, or because it couldn't find a suitable candidate for disaster relief.

From the beginning of the diversion of the Yellow River to the letters sent by Zhu Wanning's relatives and friends, the imperial court has been indifferent to this matter for more than half a month.

Wait until the beginning of spring next year, when the spring flowers are blooming.

If the imperial court still has no response.

I am afraid that the counties along the Yellow River Valley will have a catastrophe.

And this disaster depends on the scale of the Yellow River diversion, which can be large or small.

Third, the use of soldiers Huns.

The defeat of Li Guangli's troops in the battle of the Mogan Valley had already spread almost throughout the world with several holy decrees with a strong sense of punishment.

Since then, the fact that the major feudal kings have sent troops to Mobei has already spread to every corner of the border county.

None of them.

Because of the deep border counties, the people of the border counties are particularly sensitive to military affairs.

This time, the major vassal kings sent 5,000 troops, which is not much, and it is no longer a few.

Such a number of soldiers and horses can't be moved to the desert north out of thin air, right?

And every time the army is used, the local government will inevitably recruit a large number of people to serve in the conscription.

Between coming and going, the news of the use of troops must be concealed.

And the war between the two countries, no matter whether they win or lose, it is the people at the bottom who suffer.

In a nutshell.

The real message behind these three pieces of news is that the country may be in chaos.

......

......

The ancestral house of the Zhu family, in the Qingfeng courtyard.

Sanskrit was stunned for a moment, and then involuntarily got up from the top of the stone bench.

"Is that true?"

Sanskrit Wenqian forcibly stabilized her mind and asked with an extremely solemn face.

Zhu Wanning nodded slightly, and slowly spoke, "The Zhu family and the prince are jointly engaged in a medicine and jade business."

"The medicine and jade business in the land of Liaodong is all owned by the Zhu family."

"Not long ago, Uncle Seven sent a caravan of more than 1,500 people to the land of Liaodong."

"Unexpectedly, as soon as Fang arrived in the land of Liaodong, he encountered a snow disaster that had not been seen in a hundred years."

"More than 500 people went, but in the end, only a few dozen people returned, and ninety percent of them fell into the frost."

Zhu Wanning's voice paused slightly, and after sighing softly, she slowly spoke again: "The diversion of the Yellow River was written by a remote relative of mine, and it should be true."

"He has very little faith, so I don't know much."

"As for the feudal king's dispatch of 5,000 troops to reinforce Mobei, there were rumors at the beginning of the month."

"Moreover, my father is the county guard in the clouds, and the new general of the imperial court is going to conquer Mobei this time, and the soldiers, baggage, grain and grass, and people are needed."

"It's all my father's plan."

"There is nothing false about this."
