Chapter 6 Don't be a man
"Promise Mrs. Jiang, stabilize her first, find out the so-called army of Zhao State, and have the idea of turning against Zhao State, if you are sure that Zhao State does not have a large army, then forcibly occupy the Northwest Seven Provinces, drive out the forces of Zhao State, and at the same time form an alliance with Chengguo to fight against Zhao State."
Si Qinmi gave the most confrontational and radical plan, completely offending Zhao Guo, which is equivalent to being incompatible with Zhao Guo.
"Paralyze Mrs. Jiang and catch her off guard?" Zhuang inquired clearly, and now he understands why Si Qinmi must agree by himself.
Whether it is surrender or attack, you need to agree, let the enemy let down his guard, if it is ostensibly to exchange, but in fact it is to sneak attack, thinking about this scene, I feel that Zhao Guo is going to be angry.
"In this way, we have snatched the second road in the northwest, which also means that the friendship with Mrs. Jiang is broken, and the hostility with the Zhao State is hostile, you can't marry Mrs. Jiang, and you can't be a leisurely prince."
Siqin Mi regretted that the bifurcated road is a rich life full of birds and flowers, and a road full of thorns to become an emperor.
"So Lang Jun, you have to choose well, take refuge in Zhao Guo for a lifetime of worry-free enjoyment, we don't need to be aggressive, just maintain the balance of Jizhou, and the merits earned are enough for you and me to reunite in the next life, and the confrontation with Zhao Guo may be as Mrs. Jiang said today, death and annihilation, this is a road destined to be extremely difficult."
"Is it worry-free to take refuge in Zhao Guo? Will he be crowned king? Will the king have a good death? Mrs. Jiang wants to trick me into going to Zhao, how can she know if she will lie to me later, it is nothing more than entrusting her fate to others and at the mercy of others, I don't want to, and if they keep blackmailing me with me, wouldn't they want us to be separated. β
Zhuang Xun shook his head, under the interests of the country, except for Siqin Mi Li Ruxi, no one can believe it, how to say that sentence, a country's scholars can surrender, and the new country is still a scholar, but the monarch can't surrender, and the monarch's surrender is a lamb to be slaughtered, and there is no good end.
"Analyze the situation, they tricked you into going to Zhao State, it is nothing more than asking us not to interfere in the affairs of Yu State, because they also handed back the two places in the northwest to us."
In Si Qinmi's mind, various forces alternately appeared, and finally the interests of the appeal, the environment and geography and so on formed a huge network.
"Zhao Guo hopes that the state of Jizhou must be chaotic and disorderly, the countries are constantly fighting each other, and they have decided to support the King of Qinghe, Yu Guo and us, choose to take you to Zhao State, the concubine guesses that it must be to do something in Yu State, and it is likely to be a coup d'Γ©tat, which will involve us."
Si Qinmi has guessed according to his conjecture, because the power of Jizhou is so broken, three contradictions, the secluded place of division, the old and dying King Yu, and the contradiction between the powerful minister Li Pingyuan and the Chengguo clan.
"Give us the northwest, decouple from the Yu State, and finally form a three-legged momentum, attack each other, can't spare time to deal with the Zhao State, and cause trouble for them, this situation will not always imprison Lang Jun You, keep imprison Lang Jun You will have no one to unify the Xia Kingdom, and you will not be able to create a three-legged momentum."
After analyzing it, Si Qinmi argued the safety of Zhuang Xun, there are so many contradictions and conflicts at present, as long as it is solved and Zhuang Xun is not allowed to make a move, a chaotic Jizhou order has appeared again, and Xia Guo does not have Zhuang Xun, which will cause new contradictions, so Zhao Guo will not detain Zhuang Xun for too long.
"Then I'll go to Zhao Kingdom?" Zhuang Xun raised his eyes, and Si Qinmi's words seemed to encourage him to go to Zhao State.
"If Zhao Guo really has a large army to press the border, if you don't go, you have to go, coercion and temptation, how can you not go, if Zhao Guo does not have a large army to press the border, then it depends on how deep Lang Jun's determination is, whether you are willing to cut the table with Mrs. Jiang and Xuannu Niangniang, and face the risk that Zhao Guo is angry and really brings the army to come."
Si Qinmi finally persuaded her again to fulfill her obligations as a wife, preferring conservative and low-risk persuasion, and letting her husband make a prudent choice.
"Do you remember the last time Zhao Guo's covenant? There is no effect at all, do you dare to believe him this time? Sold us backhanded, controlled the annexation, last time it was no news back to us, if it weren't for the fact that I was Li Pingyuan's son-in-law, there was a trace of in-law relationship, I'm afraid it would be gone. β
Zhuang Xun still doesn't want to say that he was numb by Zhao Guo last time, and he didn't say hello to his father-in-law, all of them were for the sake of the family, and at the same time he helped to conquer Youguo, and he had the credit for cutting off the grain and grass on the front line, and he also left an ally for himself Considering various circumstances, he did not attack with a large army, but retreated, and gave a blank check to let people live and die for them, and really wanted to be beautiful.
No, getting the northwest is not a blank check, but the upper limit is here, and you can't move forward anymore, buy out the future, if you are really caught between the left and right, then forget it, Zhao Guo can't take care of himself, and surrender? He really drew out a large army, and he still needs to use himself as a starting point in Jizhou?
"That's right, a cultivator like Mrs. Jiang can come to deceive you, who can believe her promise, you really can't give up your independence, it is difficult for these superiors to tell his temperament clearly, King Zhao heard that it is Mingjun, but with the mentality of removing future troubles, who can say accurately."
Si Qinmi thought about Mrs. Jiang's behavior, and said in agreement that the two had reached a consensus, at least the identity of a cultivator could no longer endorse Mrs. Jiang, although he had already learned the basic principles of a cultivator from He Jung.
"That's right, if you defeat Zhao Guo in the future, let's think about Mrs. Jiang and Xuannu, it's possible that I don't like it or hate, but I don't want to entrust my life to others and use it to threaten you."
Zhuang Xun is quite decisive here, showing great resistance to the desire for beauty, no matter what the concubine comes, it can't stop me from engaging in my career, I used to think that Zhao Guo was invincible, and now I am planning to defeat Zhao Guo.
"It is possible to defeat the Zhao State, if the Zhao State goes to deal with the Jing and Zheng countries, we can attack from Jizhou and attack Jinyang, which is empty of troops, and destroy the Zhao State just like destroying the Youguo."
Si Qinmi deduced the situation of defeating Zhao and said that Zhao Guo, the dragon, was going out of the mountain, and he couldn't bypass Jing and Zheng, and the weakest time was when he attacked Jing and Zheng, so he seized the opportunity and sent a large army to destroy Zongmiao, if Zhao couldn't draw troops to resist, then they would be finished.
"In that case, let's start preparing, tell the generals to get ready, we will actively contact Mrs. Jiang, coax her, and let her think that you are really going to Zhao State, and even we will make a posture that you are going to Zhao State, and prepare gifts for marriage and the like, Lang Jun, you can be a little more lustful, be mediocre, don't make Mrs. Jiang suspicious."
Since the target has been determined, Si Qinmi immediately laid out and said, ready to give Mrs. Jiang and Zhao Guo a big surprise, and told Zhuang Xun not to show his stuffing or anything like that.
"Do you want to hide it from your sister-in-law?" Zhuang Xun was puzzled and said that the true performance was very important, and the advice of some courtiers was very important.
"Sister Li can not hide it, after all, she is a good person, and at the same time, she is also commanding the army for you, and she must know about the mobilization of the army, and the others will not be able to, it is better not to know until you want to attack the Zhao army, so that Mrs. Jiang does not know, normal scheduling is fine, after all, taking over the northwest two provinces requires the protection of the army."
Si Qinmi grasps the core problem, grasps the core people, how not to hand over people, and can take down the two places in the northwest, it doesn't take much effort, among them, the knowledge is big, you lie to me, I lie to you, and lie to each other.
"Okay, okay, I just went to see my sister in the afternoon, it's all at this point, I disturbed the lady and you are resting."
Zhuang Xun tried to get up from Si Qinmi's arms, ready to inform Li Ruxi to prepare and tease Mrs. Jiang for a game.
"Don't go today, rest with the concubine." Si Qinmi took the initiative to speak, her eyes soft and gentle.
"Huh?" This is not Siqin Mi's character, she is not a person who competes for favor.
"Later, I can find Sister Li to apologize and ask her to stop you from going to Zhao Guo and perform the drama you must go."
Siqin Mi took off her embroidered shoes, lifted the quilt, lay in, raised the corner of the quilt, and let Zhuang Xun approach with a gentle smile.
"As for that? Who is it for? "Getting into the quilt, I feel that Si Qinmi's work is too fine, and there is no need.
"Show it to those enemies who don't know if they exist, your words and deeds are in the eyes of those who have a heart, and they may be revealed intentionally or unintentionally, causing immeasurable consequences."
Si Qinmi hugged Zhuang Xun, took him into his arms again, and affectionately pressed his head with his beautiful forehead, as if to imprint Huadian on his eyebrows.
"The grass and trees are all soldiers, but you are right, pay attention to your words and deeds, many people just don't pay attention to their words and deeds, from being able to find out their eating habits every day, to the king of the dead country, missing his homeland."
Zhuang Xun accepted Si Qinmi's statement, others were right, he worked hard to change, although it couldn't be perfect, it was so-so.
"It's not so cautious, it's too depressing to be like this every day, you are the one who is the king, you will suffocate people to death every day, it's good to be treated with special treatment in special circumstances, always acting, you will lose yourself in acting."
Si Qinmi was afraid that Zhuang Xun would overkill and live in acting for a day, so she reminded her on the contrary.
"I know, the golden mean, don't go to the extreme, bias to that extreme, the force will backfire, just keep the middle and peaceful."
In this regard, Zhuang Xun is thorough at all, perhaps because he has learned about quality exchange, learned to look at problems dialectically, and understands the balance of yin and yang, so he has fully accepted Siqin Mi's teachings.
There is still a slight coolness in the spring, the quilt is warm and warm, fluffy and soft, I closed my eyes, after eating, I was a little sleepy when I was full, facing Siqin Mi leaning on the pillow, Zhuang Xun closed his eyes, and his wife was hot in the quilt, which was very good.
"Don't think about it, let's rest."
"Hmm......" Zhuang Xun closed his eyes, Siqin Mi thought about what Zhuang Xun had just said, and looked at his quiet Lang Jun by the way.
is still protected in his own hands, to be at ease, fall into the hands of others, look at the faces of others, feel wronged because of his words, Zhuang asked him to be suitable to be the supreme, no one to control.
Si Qin Mi likes to see Zhuang Xun's sleeping face, Zhuang Xun is asleep, but Si Qinmi doesn't want to sleep, she looks at Zhuang Xun's quiet sleeping face blankly, and laughs silently.
The next day, Si Qinmi went to Li Ruxi to apologize, and by the way, he said the result of the discussion with Zhuang Xun, did not abandon the tacit agreement with Chengguo, and took the initiative to drive Zhao Guo out.
Sure enough, Li Ruxi made a fuss.
"We are all fighting bloodily, how can the husband surrender and violate Xia Cheng's alliance." The puffed young woman knelt in front of Zhuang Xun and gave advice.
"I haven't signed an alliance, how can there be any Xia Cheng Alliance, Ji'er, this is not a surrender, just an exchange, with the Seven Northwest Dao, Xia can be regarded as a complete country, and this time I went to Zhao for our future."
Zhuang Xun tried his best to appease, helped Li Ru Ji, and used Si Qinmi's persuasion to use it, and he admired that he could say it so confidently, although it was fake.
"How do you let your concubines behave in front of their father? At the beginning, it was the concubine who went to her father to ask for love for Xia Guo, but now she actually wants to accept Zhao Guo's deal. β
Li Ruxi's face showed sadness, Zhuang Xun failed her heart, if Zhuang Xun didn't know that she was acting, it is estimated that she would have softened, and her heart would not be her own woman.
"There are small righteousness and great righteousness in the world...... Zhuang Xun said again what Mrs. Jiang said to herself at that time, the purpose of the words was for your good anyway, and he also changed to the seven roads in the northwest.
"What kind of small righteousness and great righteousness, you are simply breaking the covenant for profit, you are consumed by interests, lust is consumed, and rotten wood is difficult to carve." Li Ruxi scolded bitterly, pushed Zhuang Xun away and walked away.
Zhuang Xun sat in place, if it wasn't for Li Ruxi kissing his cheek, he really thought that Li Ruxi was so angry, after all, the beauty left angrily, and it was about her mother's family.
After a long cold war, Zhuang Xun couldn't say anything, and then it was He Heng, Huang Xi and others who came to persuade him.
"Your Highness, please put the society first, this is a trick of the Zhao State to drive a wedge between our country and Chengyu, and your Highness should not be confused by the interests in front of you."
He Heng said bitterly, this is his son-in-law and his benefactor, so he has to persuade others to be afraid of Zhao Guo, but he can't be afraid, so he took the lead.
"That's right, Your Highness, my old Luo doesn't understand anything, but the determination to defend His Highness's foundation is there, what is the army of Zhao Guo afraid of, just do it with them."
Luo Yuecheng shouted, dancing and dancing and didn't know what He Heng said to him, the whole person looked excited, but Huang Xi on the side held him down.
What the cronies want is not partiality, but to give him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, such as Zhuge Liang giving Ma Tan a chance, under the intentional care, Luo Yuecheng and Huang Xi have the first to ascend in the process of capturing the capital of Youguo, and they are relatively fast climbing, and they are qualified to come up to advise Zhuang Xun.
"Your Highness, you can't surrender, we are still officials and generals when we surrender, and if you surrender, you will be a puppet for life." Huang Xi also tried hard to persuade.
"Who said that Lone wants to surrender, it's just an alliance, isn't it good that you don't have to fight to get the two places and the seven realms?" Zhuang Xun is still quite moved, and those who can persuade themselves are still loyal, but if they don't come, they have to check the ingredients.
Just like Huang Xi said, Zhuang Xun also understands that the courtiers have descended, where is not to be a courtier, and if the monarch has descended, it is equivalent to no freedom, and they don't know that Zhuang Xun is in Zhao State.
"The ministers would rather fight on the battlefield and take territory for His Highness than risk going to Zhao State." He Heng understood the duty of a courtier very well, he did not use the identity of an elder to order, but said respectfully.
"What kind of risk, with Mrs. Jiang here, Zhao is also a country of integrity, and they are also going to hand over the two places in the northwest to us, so don't worry, Lone's mind has been decided."
Zhuang Xun himself said that he didn't believe it, and he was very stubborn, waving his hand to let these people go down.
"Mrs. Jiang, she also ......" He Heng still wanted to say something, Zhuang Xun slapped the table.
"Okay, needless to say, let's go down, no one can stop the lonely Zhao ......"
Zhuang Xun raised his eyes and glanced at this group of generals, some of whom followed him to Jiannan at the beginning, and some who joined after Youguo, and said secretly in his heart: Congratulations, you are included in the inspection object.
Pretending to be angry, he brushed his sleeves away, leaving a group of people standing in place stunned, looking at each other, you look at me, I look at you, and let out a long sigh.
There was still a vague persuasion to Zhuang Xun not to agree to Zhao Guo's request, and there were fewer and fewer people who resisted to the end, and in the end there was no one.
These information converged into the eyes and ears of Zhao State, and also made Mrs. Jiang feel at ease, and time went back little by little, as Zhao State accepted the northwest land ceded by Dou Zhi, the king of Qinghe, Zhuang Xun was also preparing gifts for the envoys.
Tossed left and right for a month and a half, Zhuang Xun went to Zhao State, and Xia Guo received the time and place of the Northwest Seven Dao and so on.
Zhuang Xun often haunts Li Ruxi's bedroom, as if she is in her sleepwear, Li Ruxi is not making a fuss, and no one in Xia Guo has persuaded him, after all, the queen has a laissez-faire attitude, and it seems that she has become a puppet of Zhao Guo today.
"The army is just a county soldier and a village warrior, and the concubines are confident that they can quickly occupy the seven northwest provinces." Get the news, be prepared, and be ready to take the food.
In the waiting for the handover of the seven paths, Li Ruxi was excited, her apricot eyes were wide, and she had already thought about giving Mrs. Jiang a little color to see, and she felt very interesting when she thought of the other party's angry appearance.
"It's our benefactor, you pay attention." Zhuang Xun smiled bitterly, he was going to cut the table with his former benefactor, there was no way, this was the case between countries, since he was unwilling to succumb to him, he could only meet each other.
"Why, it's distressing, so why didn't you promise her? The concubine herself wanted to agree, but her sister didn't let her. β
Li Ruxi deliberately joked that Mrs. Jiang had become an unscrupulous bad woman in her eyes.
"That's because I feel sorry for you, and I have a feeling that I don't want you if I choose her, after all, you are in contact with Chengguo, just like you said, I violated the tacit agreement with my father-in-law and asked you to be a person."
When I see people talking about people, I naturally say such affectionate love words when I see Li Ruxi.
"I know, husband, I know that you love your sister-in-law, but national affairs should not be mixed with children's affection." Li Ruxi was quite moved, although she knew very well that this was only one of the reasons.
"It's a major national event, and it's also well thought out, resist Zhao State, unite with Chengguo, and resist Zhao State outside Jizhou, and Jizhou people make their own decisions about Jizhou's affairs."
Zhuang Xun held his head high and filled his personal feelings and national feelings for Li Ruxi.
"Really?" A delicate and charming voice, Zhuang Xun felt vaguely familiar when he listened, and he didn't wait for him to react.
The wind howled, and a terrifying black wind swept Zhuang Xun out of the carriage!
Li Ruxi wanted to catch Zhuang Xun, but she didn't have time, she reached out and grabbed an empty space, and Zhuang Xun had already been swept outside.
Seeing this situation, He Jung, Yao Zongwen, Luo Yuecheng and others, who were guarding outside, rushed forward and wanted to catch Zhuang Xun from the wind, but they were all bounced away by the black wind and smashed to the ground.
Zhuang Xun is the king of Yu Guofeng, Yu Guoqi has been exhausted, where did he come from to protect the national fortune.
"Come to Zhao to find him."
