Chapter 54: The Storm Is Coming!

Shangqing Palace, study,

The empress frowned, staring at the fold in her hand.

This is the twist and turn of the great general Yang Yan,

It seems to be a greeting, but there is no sentence in the words that is not asking for food.

But today's grain and grass are not enough to relieve Luozhou, how can it be transferred to Pingzhou?

But according to the meaning of the letter, it seems that Daqin's side has made some recent moves?

A trace of fatigue flashed in the eyes of the empress phoenix, and the jade hand was lightly raised to close the fold.

Although the Great Zhou is entrenched in the Central Plains, the hinterland is relatively safe.

But on the other side of the border, it is extremely unfavorable.

Youzhou relies on the topography and sticks to the northwest. Across the river, it is the imposing Houjin Iron Horse.

On the Pingzhou side, although there are generals stationed at the border passes, the chariots on the Daqin side are a siege weapon.

If it weren't for the lack of Great Qin's war horses, with the power of Great Qin alone, it would be possible to overcome Houjin and Great Zhou.

All along, in order to cope with the pressure of Great Qin, Houjin and Great Zhou have been semi-alliance postures.

But since the death of the first emperor, the lord of the Later Jin state seems to have changed his diplomatic strategy.

They signed a credential with Daqin, but they were eyeing Youzhou.

But fortunately, Youzhou relied on the steep terrain and never gave Houjin Tie a chance to ride south.

On the Pingzhou side, there was the general Yang Yan guarding it, and after the Great Qin State suffered several losses, it died down.

Unexpectedly, this time, Da Qin finally couldn't sit still......

"Grain and grass, grain and grass!"

The empress rubbed her eyebrows worriedly, and there was a touch of helplessness on her majestic cheeks.

"Come on, go and call Xiao Dongzi to me."

Outside the study, there was immediately a rush of footsteps.

After a while, Yang Dong stepped into the study and bowed to the empress:

"Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"

The empress bowed slightly, and casually threw the general Yang Yan's fold in front of his face.

"Xiao Dongzi, what do you think about this?"

Yang Dong took the fold and looked at the content carefully.

After a moment, a gloom appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, this matter ...... I think there's something wrong. ”

"Something is wrong?"

The empress's eyes lit up and she asked:

"Why do you think so?"

Yang Dong hesitated for a moment and then pondered:

"Your Majesty, although Luozhou has been flooded, our grain and grass in Dazhou are indeed tight."

"But Your Majesty, have you ever thought about a question, why did Great Qin attack Pingzhou?"

As soon as these words came out, the empress's face flashed with thought.

Seeing this, Yang Dong immediately spoke:

"Your Majesty, I think this attack is most likely a feint."

"Besides, if Great Qin really attacks on a large scale, with General Yang guarding Pingzhou, he will definitely not be able to attack it for a while."

The empress bowed slightly, but still asked puzzled:

"In that case, what is Daqin's purpose?"

"They can't be so purposeless."

Yang Dong groaned slightly, and suddenly got up and walked to the empress's side.

Without squinting, he suddenly grabbed the empress's wrist with one hand.

The empress's face immediately changed, and she was about to get angry, but Yang Dong's serious voice came from her ears.

"Your Majesty, look at the paper."

The empress subconsciously looked at the white paper in front of her, and saw Yang Dong holding her wrist and drawing a sketch of the Great Zhou and the surrounding countries on the white paper.

"Great Qin attacked Pingzhou, and he didn't get any benefits. But Houjin can! ”

As he spoke, he grabbed his jade hand and drew a circle on the border between Youzhou and Houjin.

"Houjin has been preparing for a long time, and the reason why they don't dare to act rashly is simply because there are still a large number of our Great Zhou soldiers stationed in Youzhou."

"But if the war in Pingzhou is tight, Youzhou will be transferred a group of soldiers."

"Then Houjin's iron cavalry can immediately wave his army south."

As soon as these words came out, the empress could no longer care about her wrist being grabbed, and a pair of Danfeng eyes stared at the sketch on the desk.

"Wait, I still have a question!"

"Daqin did this, could it be that it was just for Houjin to invade Youzhou?"

"In this way, what good will it do to Great Qin!"

Yang Dong leaned down, greedily sucking the heart between the empress's hair, and peeked at the neckline of the empress's dragon robe with his eyes.

It's amazing to have this figure!

If she was willing to put on Lin Man'er's black gauze official robe, and then kneel in front of her......

That feeling is simply invincible!

He couldn't help but swallow his saliva, which immediately aroused the empress's dissatisfaction.

"Little Dongzi, I asked you something!"

"Ahem!"

Yang Dong coughed lightly and silently restrained his thoughts.

Without saying a word, he held the empress's tender jade hand again, and wrote a crooked word "war" on the white paper.

The empress looked at this extremely ugly word "war" and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Yang Dong didn't hide it, and said:

"What Da Qin did was nothing more than to provoke a war between my Great Zhou and Hou Jin."

In this way, there is an opportunity to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Not only that, but he can also take advantage of the war to get benefits from both ends, and even sell grain, grass, and weapons......"

"But this is all under ideal circumstances, the reality is that the battlefield is changing rapidly. Da Qin wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but Hou Jin is not a fool, how can he obediently do what he wants? ”

When the empress heard this, she couldn't help but nod her head again and again.

Xiao Dongzi is worthy of being a talent in the world, and his thinking is exactly the same as himself.

Yang Dong took a breath and continued:

"Actually, Your Majesty, this time Daqin's temptation, we can wait and see first."

"If Great Qin really attacks Pingzhou in an all-out way, it's not too late for us to deploy troops."

"As for Youzhou...... Houjin's goal may not be for Youzhou, but here! ”

Yang Dong said, clasped the empress's jade hand again, and drew a circle in Youzhou.

It's just that I don't know if he did it intentionally or unintentionally, when he drew a circle this time, his elbow deliberately rubbed over the empress's chest.

Hiss~ So elastic!

He said a word silently in his heart, and then quietly looked at the empress.

Seeing that the empress's face was not different, there was a touch of disappointment on her face.

Strange, isn't Yourong sensitive, why didn't he react this time.

It's just that he didn't know that when he held the empress's jade hand, the empress had already clamped the jade leg......

"Your Majesty, please look here!"

A trace of confusion flashed in the empress's phoenix eyes, and she immediately looked at the circle on the white paper.

After a moment of silence, her eyes suddenly lit up!

"This is a horse farm in Youzhou?"

"Not bad!"

Yang Dong nodded, with a proud face.

"If what I expected is right, Houjin has no intention of swallowing the entire Youzhou at all."

"If he dares to do this, my Da Zhou will definitely not hesitate to fight."

"Therefore, my personal judgment is that Houjin's goal is to breed a horse farm here."

"If you can occupy the horse farm, then Houjin will monopolize the supply of war horses in the future."

As soon as these words came out, the empress finally changed her face.

Although she knew that Yang Dong was just a conjecture with no basis,

But this conjecture is too scary, isn't it?

Yang Dong saw that the empress's face had changed greatly, and while breathing a sigh of relief, he quietly put away the note in his cuff.

"Your Majesty, please make a decision early!"
