Chapter 3 Return to China
The carriage walked on the gallop road, and this time the peasants could be seen everywhere, and Zhuang Xun leaned against the window and looked.
It seems that he is looking at the scenery outside, but in fact, he is sorting out his thoughts.
The focus of several tasks, first, is to substantially rule Jiannan Province and Hebei Province, second, the princes of Yu State to seize the throne, and third, to provide pressure for back attacks when Zhao State attacks Youguo.
Among them, the most important is naturally to form effective rule over Jiannan and Hebei, Jiannan is poor and white, and sending people to establish order in the past is considered effective rule, and Hebei Province is difficult to say.
Although Cheng Jun helped clean up a lot of heroes before leaving, it was still very difficult to control the airborne.
There are already five holy mountains to block it, and people are outsiders, no matter how strong they are, it is difficult to form radiation, and at this time, they suddenly realized the importance of brothers from the same clan.
According to Si Qinmi's opinion, repair the internal strength, be diligent in morality and politics, and then make calculations, Jiannan Road is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as the core, cultivate the team.
Hebei Province, the four counties south of the river as the northeast of Jiannan Province although there are two mountains to block it, can be used as tentacle influence, and the four counties of the Great Hebei Province can be used as the basis for political exchange to the Li family for the time being, in exchange for help.
Of course, it is not given away for nothing, it is also a subordinate territory, but the control is not required to be as strong as Jiannan, so Si Qinmi has to stay in Jiannan this time to preside over the spring ploughing work, coordinate grain transportation, distribution, etc.
"Husband, are you thinking about the affairs of Yu Kingdom?" The beauty interrupted Zhuang Xun's thoughts with a loud voice.
Zhuang Xun turned his head, half nodded and said: "Yes, now it seems that it has really become a force that cannot be ignored, if the princes want to compete for the throne." β
"What are you afraid of, if you fail, you can merge into Chengguo, but the concubine doesn't believe it, Yu Guo, who is over the turmoil, can confront Chengguo." Li Ruxi brushed away the sad look on Zhuang Xun's face and said.
"Thank you, but it's better for Yu to be free, you know that we have to rearm and fight against Youguo." Zhuang Xun smiled and said.
"Youguo, it's really a hateful country, not only the demon beasts, but also some conspiracies." Li Ru's hateful teeth itched.
"It's normal to have intrigues and tricks between countries, but if it hurts us, then it can't be tolerated." Zhuang Xun comforted Li Ruxi, this lady was more excited than him.
"If Zhao Guo takes the initiative to attack Youguo this time, Cheng Guo will definitely not mind helping him." Li Ruji said hatefully.
"That's good, then you can successfully complete this mission of destroying the country, by the way, this time you go back, you have to insist that Hebei Province is your dowry." Zhuang Xun did not forget to remind Li Ruxi.
"What does it mean to be a concubine's dowry, isn't it a concubine's dowry?" Li Ruji said with some confusion, with big eyes with innocence and a little playful.
"Really, I hope those insects don't have eyes." Zhuang Xun looked at Li Ruxi, and the delicate beauty was uncomfortable when she was looked at.
"I didn't expect such a beauty to be able to give a place." Zhuang Xun spoke up first, looking at the dignified Li Ruxi, his heart was happy.
"I also compensate you two beautiful maids, does the husband want to love the concubine a little more." Compared with Si Qinmi, Li Ruxi seemed to be more coquettish, and simply took the initiative to sit in Zhuang Xun's arms.
It's also quite contrasting and cute, the Shura girl who gallops across the field, like a little woman in front of Zhuang Xun, and likes to be coquettish, maybe it's because she cherishes this feeling, it's slightly sticky.
Compared with Zhuang Xun and Li Ruxi, they were crooked in their arms.
Thousands of miles away, King Zhao's Palace.
Jiang Xian took off her makeup and slowly put on the gold and silver jewelry, a beautiful woman in the world, such as a peony delicate, graceful, pink skin and white skin, fairy jade bones, colorful phoenixes flying between black hair, stepping down lotus, graceful and beautiful, enough to be a mother in the world.
She sat on her knees, boiled a pot of black tea, and waited for someone to come.
"Erchen has seen the queen mother, long live the queen mother's health." As soon as the tea was brewed, a young man with starry eyes and sword eyebrows, and a heroic young man in a dragon robe walked slowly into the palace and saluted Jiang Xian.
The face is vaguely similar to Jiang Xianqi, and she naturally looks handsome and extraordinary, which is the current King Zhao.
"Don't be polite, you are all King Zhao." Jiang Xian poured a cup of tea, and with a gesture, Lan Qiu brought the tea to the empty table on the side.
"Yes." King Zhao agreed and sat on the single seat next to Jiang Xianwen.
"Taste, how does the tea brought by Yu Guo taste." Jiang Xian stretched out her hand and invited.
"Mellow and sweet, with an endless aftertaste." King Zhao took a sip of tea and said perfunctorily.
"Your mind is not on drinking tea, you are a king, you have to change everywhere, understand?" Jiang Xianqi's daily teaching, King Zhao obediently bowed his head and reflected.
"It's the son-in-law who is too impatient, please forgive the queen mother." King Zhao took the initiative to admit his mistake and said.
"It's good to know that you can change your mistakes, but a king can't always admit his mistakes, it will damage your prestige, understand?" Jiang Xianqian took a sip of hot tea.
"Erchen understands that he hasn't seen his mother for too long, and he misses it a lot." Zhao Wang Zhengse said that seeing that his mother was safe and sound, fat and thin, he picked up the tea and drank it slowly.
"Wouldn't you be more able to show your strength without a mourning family?" Jiang Xianqian chuckled and said, remember the way King Zhao swore before leaving.
"What kind of fists and kicks are displayed, and these people are limited to death by rules and regulations." King Zhao said helplessly, thinking of his mother's heroic posture, and then thinking about the mistakes he made, he suddenly felt a little depressed.
"If governing the country is so simple, then the world will not be the same for a long time, it is normal to make some mistakes, the focus is on whether you can learn lessons after making mistakes, and solve these problems better next time." Jiang Xian was not surprised, after all, even if he had been imprisoned for a few years under his nose, King Zhao was still young, and it was normal for him not to be cheated.
"What the queen mother said, and I did learn, I didn't understand what the queen mother did this and that before, but now I understand it all." King Zhao smiled.
"In the end, you have to face these things alone to grow, and now there is something for the mourning family to solve?" Jiang Xianqian also smiled, seeing her son grow into what she expected.
"No, it's really just to see the queen mother." King Zhao said sincerely.
"I believe you, this time I came back to listen to you to attack Youguo, come back to see what the situation is, for fear that your brain is hot, and you want to make some achievements, this is not sloppy, now it seems that the temperament is a little anxious, and it is not possible to want to fight Youguo when your brain is hot." Jiang Xianqi looked at King Zhao and was pleased with his growth.
"It's not this year, it's still early next year, and we're still waiting for the opportunity." King Zhao replied that the decision had already been made, but the implementation was still waiting for the opportunity.
"Are you ready to meet the combined forces of Zheng Jing and the two countries?" Jiang Xianqi's heart disease is also in these two countries.
There is also the support of the gods, and the country is rich and the people are strong, but they are crowded together with the Zhao State, and they restrain each other's external expansion.
"Erchen doesn't plan to make a big move, this time it's to get King You's brother Nie Xu to defect, and he plans to attack Youguo in his name, King You's killing of his relatives and wantonly appointing his mother's family, unpopular, and the failure of the conquest of Yu Guo has expanded this dissatisfaction, it is a rare opportunity for ten years, and the existence of Brother Youwang can also respond to all calls, as long as the army is biased all the way, plus a few ways of interference, you can help Brother Youwang return to the throne." King Zhao said his plan.
"Isn't it the destruction of the ghost country?" Jiang Xian's brows slowly tangled together, showing a resentful appearance of a beauty.
"Zheng Jing and the two countries are staring so closely, how can they do this, but the monarch of the Youguo uses the demon clan, which is ambitious, and it is a big hidden danger after all, it is better to support an obedient one." King Zhao said helplessly.
Standing on three legs, it is the time when a thousand troops are attacking, each other is improving themselves, not giving each other a chance, and making a big move to extinguish the ghost, which is undoubtedly a huge gap for the opponent.
And to support a friendly regime, so that it is much less difficult, and do not give Jing and Zheng a loophole, and at the same time solve the threat in the rear, so that Zheng and Jing can deal with it with peace of mind.
"Then you are preaching to the outside world that you want to destroy the darkness, and you are trying to trap Zheng Jing and the two countries?" Jiang Xianqian put down the teacup and was thinking about the feasibility.
"Yes, there is this meaning, and there is also that, if it is not said to be extinguished, just a different person, Chengyu and the two countries may not be willing to make a move, as a sideway attack, it is just a partial army of Zhao State, it is difficult to lead the army of Youguo to defend and create opportunities for Nie Xu." King Zhao realistically said that to do big things at a small cost, it is natural to plan carefully.
"As a result, you want to help the prince of the Youguo stabilize the Youguo? Expelled from the two countries? They don't rest on their laurels. Jiang Xian's brows were twisted into knots.
"How is it possible, as long as you kill the current Youwang, of course, I am happy to see that Youwang's brother Nie Xu can drive away Chengyu and the two countries, and continue to maintain the state of internal friction in the three countries, but if he can't do it, he won't forcibly help him, maintaining Da Zhao's national strength is the most important, but Nie Xu, who has a local reputation, has a great advantage, and he can't drive away Chengyu's invasion, that is because he has no ability." King Zhao continued to explain.
Anyway, the three kingdoms of Yu Chengyu fought each other, and the two sides of the fight were injured, and the head of the fight was broken and bloody, and it did not lose the national strength of Zhao State, so why not do it.
Jiang Xianqi understood, but she didn't approve: "You do this, I know that you want to consume the national strength of Chengguo and Youguo, but have you thought about it, when the time comes, Li Pingyuan will lead the troops to fight, defeat in a battle, and take Youguo into the bag, behind us is not a friendly Youguo and an ambitious Youguo, but a Chengguo that has annexed Youguo, is this really good?" β
Jiang Xianqi warned that she was very satisfied with maintaining the status quo, because the three kingdoms of Youchengyu who did not unite would not pose a threat to Zhao, and they only needed to wait for Zhao to win in the dispute, and then take over the land.
Besides, the most ambitious Youguo is also disabled, and he can't get up in a short time, so there is no need to create accidents and difficulties, in case of an accident, create a unified country, this unified country, the way out for the outside world is Zhao.
"What the queen mother said is that Li Pingyuan's success in the coup d'Γ©tat this time is indeed a bit beyond the plan, and the original thought was that the internal forces of the country were constrained by each other, so now the ministers are also waiting, waiting for the opportunity, thinking about the problem of the child, after all, it is a major national event, speaking of which Li Pingyuan won a big victory in the tide of the water, is there any credit for the queen mother?"
King Zhao accepted Jiang Xianyuan's warning, and at the same time questioned Li Pingyuan's results a little, whether Jiang Xianyuan secretly helped.
"With the help of other immortals, the mourning family didn't do anything." Jiang Xianqian shook her head slowly, she didn't know about this matter, and it was even the first time she knew that Youguo had colluded with the demon clan.
"This time I went to the Three Kingdoms, the credit was meager, and it didn't affect too much, but God blessed my Da Zhao, there are Taoist friends to take action, the battle of Liping Yuan Xishui, once again stabilized the tripartite balance, and did not let Youguo become bigger, it is my Da Zhao's luck."
Jiang Xianqi was glad to say that from her perspective and position, she was indeed blessed by God, so that Li Pingyuan happened to be helped by the cultivators and completed the plan of the tide to cross the river, because there are no true monks in Chengguo, even if the country is close to Qinghu Mountain, a holy place of cultivation, it is dark under the lights.
"How can there be any credit without credit, the queen mother worked tirelessly, went to the dangerous place, balanced the situation of the three kingdoms, and persuaded Cheng Yu to join forces, this is already the merit of the creation of the sky, it is the incompetence of the sons, so that the queen mother suffers such hard work." King Zhao said gratefully that he knew that a large part of the reason why his mother did these things was for him and for Zhao Guo.
"You can remember the good of your mother, and the mourning family is very happy, so I will stay with you for a long time, and also review your recent achievements." The son is filial, and Jiang Xianqi is still quite happy.
"Queen Mother, are you leaving again? Isn't the balance of the three kingdoms already reached, where are you going to go, Queen Mother? King Zhao was slightly stunned, Jiang Xian's words meant that she still had to leave.
"Or go to Jizhou, didn't you plan to change Youjun? Jizhou Mourning has been in the family for two or three years, familiar with it, so that you can get information here, I didn't plan to come back, but I heard that you have plans to destroy the country, come back and listen to your thoughts, it's okay, steady and steady. Jiang Xianqian said that she was relieved that her young trees had grown into trees.
"This kind of thing, there is no need for the queen mother to go, the queen mother is blessed in the harem, and the sons must seize the world for the queen mother." King Zhao said that because his mother was good to him, he was not greedy for power, and he delegated power, naturally, his son could also show due filial piety.
"Then don't die idle, let's let the mourning family move, and the mourning family recently raised a koi in Yu country, so we still have to take care of one or two, so as not to die." Jiang Xianqian smiled.
"Koi? Is it Zhuang Xun, who is rumored to be the illegitimate son of King Yu? "King Zhao is also very concerned about Jiang Xianqi, and Jiang Xianqi's intelligence network is also transparent to him.
"It's him, but it shouldn't be the illegitimate son of King Yu, he is still recommended by the mourning family." Jiang Xianqian generously admitted that there is nothing to hide about fish farming, and it is not an unsightly thing.
"Why don't you bring such a talent back to Zhao State, can't you raise it in Zhao State? The bait is even better here. King Zhao understood what Jiang Xian meant by raising koi, so he was a little discouraged.
With this plan, he jumped on the dragon gate himself. Jiang Xianqi admired it when she said this, Zhuang Xun went to climb the high branches of the Li family, but she ate soft rice and ate hard, and married a daughter-in-law to a place.
