Chapter 24: The Soldiers Are Coming to the City

When the sun shone in, Hu Ruan was practicing his sword in the courtyard, and when he was bored, he practiced swords; When you are overjoyed, practice swords; When I'm bored, practice swords. Maybe my life is wasted like this, I can't say, in short, there is nothing more refreshing than reading a sword book!

That kind of fluttering sense of accomplishment is not something that ordinary people can talk to, but Zhou is different.

He rarely met Zhou in the palace, so he often bought the palace maids and took himself out. In the woods outside the palace, he made an appointment for a week, and compared with a happy competition, until it was almost dark and the palace gate was about to be keyed, he reluctantly went back.

Even if Zhou can't speak, he also believes that Zhou is the first confidant in this life.

When practicing swords, he doesn't worry about who he is, let alone what the chaos around him is, he only feels that he has entered the realm of the universe, above space, in the endless emptiness, there is endless wonder, like dew and electricity, interpreting eternity in an instant.

Yanyu's body is getting cooler day by day, when Tu Shansong is reading official documents in the hall, she is playing with mud on the side, even if she gets it everywhere on the ground, on the curtain, on the brocade robe, there are her mud handprints, Tu Shansong is not annoyed.

A soldier hurriedly stepped forward, carrying a flag on his back, which was a major task in the army.

Tu Shansong frowned, there will be no less things to come.

He closed the official document and looked at the people below, such a soldier would not easily enter the palace, let alone come directly to see the patriarch.

"You want to say that the state of Chu is menacing, and it was Luo Sheng who personally led the troops here?"

"Yes, Patriarch." The soldiers presented the military Chinese book, and Qingqiu's military defense was stationed in the Moon Country, just because Qingqiu held the food lifeline of the Moon Country, and the Moon Country was friendly with Qingqiu for generations.

What kind of friendship can be made, whether it is because of in-laws or because of food, it is not a long-term solution, and it is just empty words. Tu Shansong clearly knew that the reason why Yueguo was willing to endure everywhere was entirely because of Yuejun Nasen, who killed all the royal family of Jingguo, and there were only a few remnants of the defeated army left, which was not worth mentioning at all. Without Jingren, how can he understand and change the culture of Jingguo for hundreds of years?

He can't sit on the throne, and many years of war have long hurt the foundation of the people, Jingguo is poor and weak all year round, not to mention wars, even small frictions in some areas, which are enough for him to eat a pot every time.

This is not to mention the old ministers of the Moon Kingdom who were not optimistic about him in the first place.

If the State of Chu wants to attack Qingqiu, it is bound to borrow from the State of the Moon, and the State of the Moon is bound to borrow it. After all, even if the Chu State destroyed Qingqiu and strengthened its own power, it was beyond the reach of the whip and could not truly dominate Qingqiu. And the Moon Country, which is a neighboring country, can take advantage of this to get a fat meal for nothing.

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if it is a fluke to annex Qingqiu, there is no threat to the Moon Country, the vastness of the Moon Country, the courage and skill of the soldiers of the Moon Country, not any country can easily defeat.

Tu Shansong also clearly knew that for the sake of today's plan, it was the Chu State and Qingqiu who joined forces to attack the Moon Kingdom together, as long as he weakened his strength before he could gain a firm foothold, then he would not be afraid that he would raise his troops and attack the two of them again in the future.

But he doesn't want to achieve himself by sacrificing himself - through an in-law, in exchange for the so-called peace, for him is like exchanging an unhappiness for untouchable happiness, whether he will be happy in the future, whether he will be peaceful is imaginary, but he will not be happy in front of him, and he will not be peaceful but it is true.

He cares more about being able to live his life comfortably and freely. What's more, he also believes that he has the absolute ability to do so.

As for why he would rather marry the unknown woman with a child in the back than marry Luo Shang, he has his own set of sayings - only the strongest can have the capital to live freely and willfully.

He's been so bored for so many years that he's eager to get himself in some trouble.

Tu Shansong put down the paperwork, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and asked, "How many troops did you bring?" ”

"One hundred thousand."

He laughed, "Not much. You order 50,000 and get ready to fight. ”

"Patriarch, our Qingqiu is not good at fighting, so winning more with less always has little hope! The Chu State is very good at spelling, and it is not impossible for them to scatter beans into soldiers. ”

Tu Shansong said: "You just do what I say." ”

The soldier did not dare to speak, so he had to retreat.

As soon as the soldier went out, Yanyu raised his head and looked at Tu Shansong and said:

"Daddy," she wasn't afraid of life at all, and she didn't delay a day since she knew that she could call her dad directly, "Do you want to win more with less?" The country of Chu is far away from here, and my aunt said that there will be a loss in the distance, and when they leave, there will be 100,000, and I am afraid that by the time we reach Qingqiu, there will only be 80,000 or 90,000 left. ”

Tu Shan smiled and touched her head: "You are so young, you know a lot about these wars." ”

"Of course I know," Xiao Yanyu said in a milky voice, "Our village is all from the army, my uncle-in-law is also a famous military wizard, and the victorious Nasen and Yuejun in your mouth are just his defeated generals." I've read the books written by my uncle, and what you're talking about is just pediatrics! ”
