But when Liu Mo walked into the study and found that Zhu Min, Lu Sheng, Sun Kan, and Zhao Da were all present, all his thoughts were temporarily forgotten.

Zhu Min was agitated excitedly, a light smile appeared on the corner of Lu Sheng's mouth, and only Sun Kan was still serious.

"What's going on?" Liu Mo asked, "Do you all know the news?" ”

Li Heng handed him a roll of paper, which was unopened, but for some reason, Liu Mo felt that he was the last to learn the news in the letter.

"The emperor of the Zhou Dynasty said that he wanted to make peace with our Great Xia!"

And pro, with which family?

You diao hairy eyes are so weird and obscene...

Do you want me to be a stallion again?

Although I am really strong in some aspects, I can't help you toss like this!

Don't wait first, it's a two-way relationship, maybe it's the prince of the Zhou Dynasty who marries a princess of Great Xia. Thinking of this, Liu Mo asked, "What kind of harmony is it?" ”

"Naturally, the Zhou Dynasty sent the princess to my Great Xia." Zhu Min said loudly.

Hearing this, Liu Mo frowned. "I'm going to drive again!"

"Your Excellency, it's not you!" Sun Kan seemed to see Liu Mo's thoughts, and immediately explained, "It's the sixth prince!" ”

Fortunately, there was a false alarm! Liu Mo breathed a long sigh of relief.

But in the next second, he trembled suddenly, "Make peace with the six princes?" The sixth prince is only twenty-eight years old this year, and the eldest heir is only a few years old. Then you can only make peace with the Sixth Prince himself..."

Liu Mo raised his head and glanced at a few people, "You guys, can you still laugh?" He rebuked.

"What's wrong? Brother Liu, why do you say this? Zhu Min was puzzled.

Do you say that you are a martial artist, and all of you have zero political minds?

This is obviously the trap dug by the Zhou Dynasty for the six princes, and it is the kind that can't be avoided.

Although Daxia is now divided, it is still a complete regime on the surface

The sixth prince is the prince of Great Xia, but isn't he the emperor?

Your Zhou Dynasty bypassed the Great Xia Emperor and made peace with the Six Princes, what is this? The so-called harmony is obviously to force the six princes to admit that the Great Xia Dynasty has been split in disguise.

If you refuse, then you will refuse to form an alliance!

Leaving the decision to the Great Xia Emperor is a good idea.

But, is it equivalent to surrender?

Moreover, the Great Xia Emperor is looking for a son of the right age to replace your six princes and relatives. What this means, need no more explanation.

Therefore, it is not so much about being close as it is about forcing the six princes to make a decision.

"Convince Your Highness to make peace!" Li Heng proposed, "This is the safest choice!" ”

"If Your Highness agrees, why write to us?" Sun Kan hit the nail on the head.

"And who is?"

"Remind us to prepare for war!" Sun Kan replied.

"Preparing for war?" Zhu Min asked with a confused expression, "Old Zhu, the more I listen, the more confused I become!" ”

As a leader, when encountering such a major event, it is natural to inform his subordinates of the cause and effect. Liu Mo guessed that the six princes would obviously refuse this harmony, which meant refusing to form an alliance with the Zhou Dynasty!

"I hope the six princes don't do stupid things!" Liu Mo sighed.

"Your Excellency the Governor, shall we reply?" Li Heng asked again.

"No need!" Liu Mo announced, "The six princes will send us back as they are." He has already made a decision, and no one can change it! ”

In the end, without waiting for everyone to answer, he directly announced the adjournment of the meeting.

As guessed, the six princes directly rejected Heqin's request and did not send the news to Jizhou from beginning to end.

On the other hand, the Zhou Dynasty did not seem to be surprised by this, and did nothing except express regret.

For a moment, the three parties fell into calm.

But Liu Mo knew that the calmer the surface was, the undercurrent was surging behind the scenes, and the three parties were plotting something, and the war only lacked a fuse.

The matter has come to this point, what is there to be entangled, actively prepare for war.

~~~

Autumn goes to winter, and the time is in a flash to early winter and November.

Liu Mo and Sun Kan watched from the high platform as the recruits wielded their long swords and swords, panting, snorting and cursing. The sound of metal striking resounded throughout the schoolyard, and from time to time there was a howl of being beaten.

Zhu Min strode and walked around the group of soldiers, his face was red under his beard, and there were words in his mouth, Liu Mo had never seen Zhu Min's expression so stern.

"No," he kept muttering, "no, no, no!" ”

"I've never seen such hopeless waste as yours." Zhu Min roared, "Your hands are only born to pick dung, and you are not qualified to hold a sword." In my opinion, I will send you all to raise pigs.

But now that the Great War is imminent, General Ben has to put his hopes in you. However, if you don't grow any further, General Ben will be impatient! ”

"They can't fight!" Sun Kan said suspiciously.

"That's right!" Liu Mo let out a long sigh and agreed. "They have to spend more time training... There is no doubt about Brother Zhu's ability to train soldiers, but the quality of these recruits is indeed average. ”

"But we don't have time!" Sun Kan pointed out, "Your Highness's... News again. ”

Liu Mo looked at the recruits under the high platform with a bitter face, "Can you delay it any longer?" ”

"I guess this...... I'm afraid it's unlikely. Sun Kan replied, "Your Highness has already urged three times." ”

It turned out that ten days ago, Liu Mo received a secret letter from the six princes, asking Liu Mo to gather troops and go to Shuzhong.

In ancient times, it was generally four months of training before recruits could go to war.

But the recruits recruited by Liu Mo at the end of August will only be two and a half months old, and they will go to the battlefield...

In the field below, Zhu Min was shouting: "You fight like a donkey, he kicks you, you kick back, you want to block!" Block the attack! How do you fight like a donkey? If this is the battlefield, your life will be gone! ”

A soldier next to him couldn't help laughing, and Zhu Min immediately turned to face him. "You think it's funny? Yes? What General Ben said is funny what you say? Where is military discipline? Come on, give me twenty sticks. ”

"It's time to fight!" Liu Mo agreed.

Zhu Min continued to shout and scold in the audience.

"General Sun gave the order to go down, gather the army, and set off tomorrow!" Liu Mo announced.

"Yes!" Sun Kan responded, "Dare to ask the Governor, how many garrisons are left to garrison Rongcheng?" ”

"Five thousand is enough," Liu Mo said, "You lead 3,000 battalions as the vanguard first, Brother Zhu and Brother Lu lead the Chinese army to set off the day after tomorrow, and this official escorts the grain and grass troops to set off three days later." ”

"Order!"

Leave the barracks and return home.

Eighteen-month-old Xiao Siyu can already call Daddy, and her pronunciation is very accurate, and her immature voice is like a natural sound, warming Liu Mo's heart.

Every time she came back, Liu Mo would pick her up and raise her above her head, while Xiao Siyu couldn't stop laughing.

Liu Yuanzhang, who Lin Shiqi gave birth to for herself, just knew how to climb, and he was very fresh about all affairs, and he kept turning around. And Xiao Siying and Liu Mo, who were born to Gong Xiaorou, were the most distressed.

I don't know if it was when she was in the womb, Gong Xiaorou willfully went to the battlefield to fight and had a fetal gas. Siying was frail and sickly since she was born, and her height and weight did not meet the standard, which also became a matter of Liu Mo's heart.

A few days before parting, the girls behaved calmly, and they were all used to it.

Choosing to trust your husband is undoubtedly the best support.

On the third day, Liu Mo got up in the early morning, took the troops escorting grain and grass, left Rongcheng, and rushed to Shuzhong.
