No matter what, although Princess Shuyu is also good at riding and shooting, after all, she is the pearl of King Jingqing's palm, and she is also a real golden branch and jade leaf. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info even if she can insist, Wu Zheng is reluctant. Therefore, along the way, I did not really rush in the starry night, but every night before and after the hour, whether it was in the wilderness or in the inn, I would always stop and rest for two hours.

Of course, they are already a veritable couple, and it is extremely natural for them to sleep in their arms. Not to mention that Xiao Biesheng is newly married, although it seems that he has stopped to rest, whether it is Wu Zheng or Princess Shuyu, especially Princess Shuyu, it seems that they are more tired than rushing.

So much so that after the first night, the two had to ride together, Wu Zheng took Princess Shuyu in his arms, let the beauty sleep soundly, and he rode his horse and galloped. Whenever he stopped to sharpen, he switched to another horse. In this rotation, he finally entered Youzhou City on the evening of the fifth day after leaving Qinghe.

Choosing a good inn, Princess Shuyu did not let Wu Zheng run in and out, but personally instructed the shopkeeper to prepare the bath water, and after serving Wu Zheng to bathe and change clothes, she also cleaned her body, changed into clean clothes, and went out to dinner together.

When Wu Zheng and Princess Shuyu walked around the street after dinner, they returned to the inn hand in hand, only to see Zhao Chengjun waiting at the door of the inn.

"The last general will meet the King of Ease, Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

"General Zhao, please come in and speak. ”

When he came to the room, Wu Zheng introduced Zhao Chengjun to Princess Shuyu.

"General Zhao can see that Guan Xiangying, the envoy of Jiedu?"

"King Qiyu Xiaoyao, not only met Guan Xiangying, the envoy of Youzhou Jiedu, but also agreed to belong to King Xiaoyao. It's just that Guan Xiangying put forward three conditions. ”

"On what terms?"

"First, the King of Xiaoyao needs to provide sufficient military salaries to ensure the military needs of 60,000 officers and soldiers of Youzhou Jiedu Mansion; second, before the Central Plains is pacified, the officers and soldiers of Youzhou Jiedu Mansion shall not be dispatched at will; third, Youzhou Jiedu Mansion is only responsible for preventing the attack of the Xiongnu in the north and does not participate in the civil war in the Central Plains. ”

After listening, Wu Zheng couldn't help frowning.

"What if he can't successfully defend against the attack of the Huns in the north?"

Guan Xiangying didn't say. ”

"Is that he very confident?"

And the last will think so. ”

"Then General Zhao thinks that with only 60,000 horses, he can stop the attack of the Xiongnu?"

Hearing Wu Zheng's unkind tone, Zhao Chengjun looked up at the expression on Wu Zheng's face, and immediately felt something. I couldn't help asking, "Did the King of Joy get any news?"

"Yes, arrange it immediately, I want to see Guan Xiangying. ”

"Yes. ”

After speaking, Zhao Chengjun saluted and turned to leave.

"Husband, my father also mentioned this Guan Xiangying, saying that this person is not bold enough and more cautious. When the Central Plains was strong, with the help of the strength of the Central Plains, it could barely take on this important task. However, at this time, he has no ability to guarantee that Youzhou is safe and sound. ”

Hearing Princess Shuyu's words, Wu Zheng had to admire King Jingqing's judgment of Guan Xiangying. Although he has never been in contact with Guan Xiangying, judging from the three conditions conveyed by Zhao Chengjun just now, he is indeed a person with insufficient courage.

"Childe. ”

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a petite figure suddenly appeared in the room.

"Sister Gu Rou?!"

It is not difficult for Zhao Chengjun to accurately find himself, after all, he has such a relationship with Guan Xiangying, the envoy of Jiedu, and he can use the ears and eyes of Guan Xiangying's Youzhou Jiedu Mansion to pay attention to the people entering the city. However, how did Gu Rou find this place so accurately? Wu Zheng is unknown.

"Soyu meets my sister. ”

"Sister, please get up, no need to be polite. ”

"How did my sister find us?"

"Hehe, where can the King of Joy go without causing a sensation? What's more, with a princess who is like a flower and jade?"

Gu Rou smiled, and praised Wu Zheng and Princess Shuyu at the same time.

"Hehe, my sister didn't come to say good things about us, did she?"

"Of course not, it is for the Youzhou Festival to make Guan Xiangying here. I heard Zhao Chengjun's words just now. With Guan Xiangying's style of dealing with the world, such conditions can indeed be proposed. ”

"Sister, can you find out why Guan Xiangying suddenly withdrew his troops from Shuntian Mansion?"

"Didn't Zhao Chengjun tell Childe?"

"When I was in Canghe, I said that Guan Xiangying did not really take refuge in King Song. Because of the military salary, and the sudden appearance of a large number of martial arts masters in Youzhou as an excuse, the army was suddenly withdrawn. ”

Indeed, Zhao Chengjun's news is accurate. And those martial arts masters who suddenly appeared were led by Zhai Suli, the leader of the Shaomeng and the acting head of the Taihang faction. ”

"Where are they now?"

"When I arrived in Youzhou, I was gone. Because he was focused on investigating Guan Xiangying's affairs, he didn't look for more. ”

Speaking of this, Gu Rou looked at Wu Zheng and then at Princess Shuyu, and after a little hesitation, she continued: "Son, King Song has just left Youzhou City. ”

"What?!"

It was the evening of the second day after Zhao Chengjun's arrival. ”

"Does that mean that Zhao Chengjun's every move is under the control of King Song?"

"Yes, King Song has always been a suspicious person, and he will not be 100% at ease with anyone. ”

"In this way, isn't Zhao Chengjun in danger?"

"It's okay for now. ”

"Why?"

"Because the king of Song still has a place to use him. ”

As she spoke, Gu Rou also stretched out her hand and pointed at Wu Zheng.

"Sister is saying that King Song wants to use Zhao Chengjun to deliver news to us that is beneficial to them?"

"I think so. If you were a son, would you do the same?"

Wu Zheng looked at Gu Rou and smiled, but didn't say anything. But I know in my heart that I will definitely do the same if I were myself. Originally, when Zhao Chengjun first said that he wanted to surrender to sincerity in Xiaoyi County, Wu Zheng was already making such calculations.

"How does my sister feel that Guan Xiangying has control over the 60,000 officers and soldiers of Youzhou Jiedu Mansion?"

"But don't worry. Although Guan Xiangying lacks courage, he still cherishes his soldiers very much. Therefore, in the past five years in the Youzhou Jiedu Mansion, the hearts of all officers and soldiers have basically been gathered. ”

"How, then, should we reply to the three conditions he has put forward?"

"Childe should be dissatisfied with his last two conditions, right?"

"Not bad. ”

This is easy to do, and the more cautious person only needs to exert some external pressure appropriately, and is not afraid that he will not give in. ”

Looking at Gu Rou, Wu Zheng thought to himself, King Song would definitely think of such a simple truth, but why couldn't he completely subdue Guan Xiangying?

"Childe, my sister is right, if you need Shuyu, you can send a message to your father, and ask your father to threaten Youzhou from the side. ”

Princess Shuyu is also a smart girl in ice and snow, and she no longer calls Wu Zheng "husband" in front of Gu Rou, nor does she call herself "concubine" anymore.

"Well, the princess's suggestion is good. In the face of the pressure of the Xiongnu, Guan Xiangying did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, if King Jingqing made some moves, he would definitely try to find the support of external forces. In this way, can't Childe go and take advantage of the void?" )
