Another day of wind and sunshine, Zhou Shaoyu opened her eyes full of energy, and Li Rouer, who usually got up early to wait for Zhou Shaoyu to get up and change clothes, was still asleep, and there were still a few faint red marks on her snow-white delicate body.

Of course, I didn't do anything excessive, otherwise how could it have subsided overnight. But it's true that it's a good toss.

smiled slightly, sat up gently, and was about to get out of bed and dress, but saw Li Rouer suddenly turn over, as if she wanted to arch into Zhou Shaoyu's arms, but she pounced, opened her eyes in a daze, and saw that Zhou Shaoyu was already sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Hmm, Zhou Lang is going to get up? The slave then got up and served Zhou Lang. Li Rou'er's tone was obviously a little sleepy, but she still cheered up and prepared to get up, but when she saw that she was naked, she snorted softly, and then went down again with a blushing face, and quickly covered it with a quilt.

Zhou Shaoyu is so happy, the old husband and wife, and he is still so shy.

"Okay, look at you sleepy, just continue to rest, don't bother, I'm not broken hands and feet, can I still wear clothes." Zhou Shaoyu stretched out her hand and patted Li Rou'er's head gently, this girl only has a pair of eyes left at the moment, and she is still timid, so cute.

"No, serving Zhou Lang is the duty of a slave." Li Rou'er insisted, but hesitated for a moment, and said weakly: "Can Zhou Lang turn around for the time being?" ”

Uh-huh, so I'm not used to changing clothes in front of my brother.

"No, you can't!" Zhou Shaoyu smiled evilly: "Either you just continue to sleep, or you just get up and dress yourself." ”

It looks quite a hooligan, but Li Rouer knows that this is to let her continue to rest and sleep without trouble. There was immediately a burst of sweetness in my heart, biting my lip, and forcibly uncovering the quilt with shame.

Do you still want to get up? Hmph, obviously let you continue to rest, but if you are not obedient, you must be punished! Just punish memorizing the article.

For example, 'When the forest runs out of water, there will be a mountain, and the mountain has a small mouth, as if there was light.' Drop off the boat and enter from the mouth. At the beginning, it is extremely narrow, and only then can it be passed. Repeat dozens of steps, and suddenly open up' or something.

Reciting articles is a very consuming thing, so Li Rouer finally couldn't get up from tiredness, and fell asleep sweetly again.

It's not too late, Zhou Shaoyu, who has finished washing, decided to go for a small exercise, which is already a habit, as long as it is not a special situation, he has to exercise in the morning every morning.

Stepping into the backyard of the house, Yang Miaozhen and Lu Lingqi were fighting hotly, Lu Lingqi was certainly not Yang Miaozhen's opponent, so this seemingly intractable fight was actually just Yang Miaozhen making a feeding move, and the blade in his hand was also a long knife that the two were not so good at. After all, it's hard to say anything on the battlefield, and it's not a bad thing to be familiar with a few blades.

In addition, Xu Miaojin also held a wooden sword and waved it leisurely and slowly on the side, while Bian Yujing, Yin Lihua and Da Qiao were sitting and chatting on the other side.

"Yo, practicing." Zhou Shaoyu raised his hand, if he was usually interested, he would rush up to have a scuffle if he didn't make trouble. But today, forget it.

"If you don't practice, you can't do it, someone is too diligent, and he works hard in the room in the morning to practice marksmanship." Yang Miaozhen blocked Lu Lingqi's slash, took a step back, and said with a playful smile.

Ahh

Rao is Zhou Shaoyu is thick-skinned enough, and he is a little embarrassed, there is no way, there are still people present.

"Yo, you're fat, you know you're no match for me now!" Zhou Shaoyu expressed threat. It's not that Zhou Shaoyu is much more powerful than Yang Miaozhen, in fact, it is half a catty and eight taels, a generation of female grandmasters, how can it be so easy to surpass. It's just that he relies on his good physical fitness, and after a long time, Yang Miaozhen consumes a lot, so he naturally loses.

"Come on, boy, just the way you look like a soft-footed shrimp now, if you don't pick up your tail, you dare to be arrogant?" Yang Miaozhen hooked her index finger arrogantly, can't you beat it? That's going to take a while.

Zhou Shaoyu's heart is empty, don't you know that memorizing articles is a very physically demanding thing? Forget it, let you go for the time being, and let you be a little more arrogant.

Twist around, come on, Xu Miaojin, let's practice. Make you laugh, can't beat Yang Miaozhen, can't bully you? Who else is snickering? You have to bully and bully!

So, there was a burst of 'chickens flying and dogs jumping'.

After breakfast, not long after, Zhou Zaixing, who went to Luoyang City to trade, came back with the team, this time there were not many goods, in fact, the transaction with Huofeng was almost terminated.

As a rebel, the puppet empress Huofeng, who occupied Luoyang City, was not short of money, in addition, there was no shortage of armaments, and the food reserves were okay, but it was just that, and he couldn't get anything more.

Zhou Shaoyu traded with him, but he just wanted to buy more blades and armor, even if it was a little old, it was better than nothing. Bought so far, the purchase is basically the same, and Huofeng will not allow it to be sold to Zhou Shaoyu too much.

From Huofeng's point of view, Zhou Shaoyu can't be considered an ally at all, because the latter can't deal with Xiao Xiao's wife with her at all. At most, it is worth taking advantage of, after all, Zhou Shaoyu's existence can block the possible southern invasion of the Turks. She doesn't have the ability to fight on multiple fronts.

Since this is the case, it is natural to control the goodness, not only to let Zhou Shaoyu have a certain ability to resist the Turks, but also not to make it bigger, and sold several batches of armaments, which are almost to the final limit, and it is impossible to sell them again.

Anyway, she is not short of money, how can she say that Luoyang City is also the capital, and there is a huge palace here, and there are many valuable things.

It's just that Zhou Shaoyu is a little unwilling, the blade is there, but he still wants to buy some crossbow arrows, but it's a pity that this thing Huofeng looks dead, no matter how much he persuades him, he won't let go, and in the end, it is for the sake of Ainur's face, so he agreed to sell five hundred crossbows, and one more will not work.

This time, Zhou Zaixing led the team to Luoyang City to trade the five hundred crossbow arrows. Although the number is small, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat. Although there are many shortcomings of the crossbow, it is easy to get started, no better than a bow and arrow, and it is too time-consuming to train a qualified archer.

Zhou Shaoyu's meaning is to let Zhou Zaixing test the fire phoenix again, to see if there is any possibility of loosening and loosening, and it is good to get a thousand. As a result, Zhou Zaixing didn't even see anyone, so he went to trade directly, stayed for two nights, and left directly.

"However, they also said that they would send an envoy here in a little time." Zhou Zaixing finally added.

Zhou Shaoyu didn't pay attention to it, he was not the only force in Jincheng, and Ainur, the trade between himself and Huofeng was basically over, so it was estimated that the so-called envoy group was just running to find Ainur.

Just as Zhou Shaoyu wanted to buy crossbow arrows, Huofeng also wanted to buy as many war horses as possible, but Ainur couldn't agree.

There is no shortage of horses on the grassland, but that doesn't mean you can buy as much as you say. Originally, Zhou Shaoyu had already bought thousands of horses, and then sold some to Huofeng one after another, basically ending here in the short term.

It's normal for every tribe to sell horses, and no one thinks about anything, but if there are too many shipments, causing Ashina Falcon to be alert or dissatisfied, it will be more than worth the loss. During the dormant period, Ainur was reluctant to test Ashina Falcon too much, and the muffled development would be directly overthrown when the time came.

Therefore, Huofeng proposed to buy tens of thousands of war horses, basically not even thinking about it.

Therefore, Huofeng must have had to send an envoy for this reason.

It's a pity that although he and Ainur are relatively reliable allies, they are not his own people in the end, and they have done a good enough job to continue to help him continue to let Huo Feng exchange for open crossbow and arrow trade.

"Well, take out twenty crossbows, and then gather the carpenters in the city and let them study them together to see if it is possible to produce them themselves." Zhou Shaoyu thought about it, and it could only be arranged like this.

To be honest, hundreds of crossbows are really embarrassing, a bit of chicken ribs, as everyone knows, the biggest problem with crossbows is that the speed of installing crossbow arrows is very slow, and people's bows and arrows can shoot several rounds, and this side has just been reloaded, so if you want to achieve the effect of suppression, you can shoot in imitation of the three-stage shot of the arquebus.

The four hundred and eighty crossbows were equipped with four hundred and eighty men, and then they were divided into three rows, each of which was only one hundred and sixty men, that is, if the number of crossbow arrows fired at the same time according to the method of three strikes, it was only one hundred and sixteen.

If the Turks are regarded as enemies, there will be tens of thousands of cavalry and 160 crossbow arrows as soon as they charge, which is an overestimate.

Forget it, let's find a way to train more archers, drag Ainur's blessing, there will be no shortage of bows and arrows. As for the envoys, they didn't pay attention to it.

Sent Zhou Zaixing away, Zhou Shaoyu began to look at the information just sent today, the intelligence system has not yet been rolled out and built, it is basically hearsay, and then Zhou Shaoyu will analyze it. Or maybe Wuxian sent a message through Xiao Qiao to talk about what happened recently that could be regarded as a big event.

And among these things, including the first war of the entire Daliang in the new year.

After the rebels who originally started from the state were transferred to Jizhou, they began to rise rapidly, completely occupied Jizhou, and then launched an attack on Qingzhou on the side of the imperial court.

In the winter of last year, it was getting colder, and the war naturally stopped, and now it is spring, and it is no longer so cold, but because of the need for spring ploughing, it has not really started. After all, even the new army of Daliang has to work in the field because of the implementation of the military cantonment system.

How could I think that the Jizhou rebels didn't fight them, but they suddenly turned their guns and attacked Youzhou to the north.

Good guy, this scared King Youwang enough, I thought that the rebel army would go directly to Qingzhou first, but I couldn't look down on Youzhou, a remote northern land, but I still came to attack.

Fortunately, there are several princes and brothers who have learned from the past, and King Youwang is very honest in the fiefdom, and even gave advice from his staff and promulgated some policies to benefit the people, in short, for fear of arousing public anger.

I never thought that the effect was not bad, and after more than 20 years, I actually mixed the name of a virtuous king, and I openly selected concubines last year, and there were still a lot of enthusiastic applicants.

This makes Youwang feel very good, look, you are all bullying men and women, look at us, look, just send a royal order down, some people are willing to send their daughters out, and it is completely voluntary!

You don't have to go out to bully people at all, just sit in the house and easily choose a beauty, how good.

"Don't be kind to the people!"

So this sentence became the mantra of King You, and it spread, and for a time the name of King Xian was even worse.

Originally, I was thinking, is there another draft this year? It was only spring, and the rebels came to fight.

What a shock!

The panicked King of You began to recruit strong men, but in fact, he didn't know the bottom of his heart, look at King Zhou, wasn't he rebelled by his own people. However, an unexpected situation appeared, there were not too many young people who responded to the recruitment, so many that the king of Youwang couldn't afford to raise him at all, and he was also poor, so he was happy and panicked for a while.

At special moments, I can't care so much, anyway, people will die in war, and if there are enough dead people, there will naturally be no problem of whether they can afford to support them.

So Hula La took it all, sorted it out a little, and then marched out of the army and went south to defend against the enemy.

Well, it's strange that this kind of army wins.

Four words, heavy casualties.

The Jizhou rebels are like a bamboo, killing all the way to Yanbei City, now the king of Youyou wants to die, 150,000 troops, this is gone? The desperate King of Gloom thought that he would definitely die, and his heart was horizontal, anyway, it was death, why not die with more brilliance!

Decisively raised his sword and stood at the head of the city, personally participated in the defense, and really slaughtered an enemy soldier in horror.

This guy didn't expect that this move would greatly boost morale, it was purely a glorious point to die, and the people in the city were like fighting chicken blood, actively participating in the city defense one by one, not afraid of death, and fighting to the end, not only defended, but even sent troops to attack successfully, and directly drove the Jizhou rebels back.

Hearing the people in the city shouting long live, the ambition of the Youwang suddenly rose.

That's right, we don't know anything, but it doesn't matter, if there are capable people who are willing to serve, as long as they continue to love the people, there are so many people who are willing to die for themselves, and they are afraid that the great cause will not be successful?

So not long after, a recruitment order from the King of Youwang came out, and it did make many people moved.

On the other hand, the damage of the Jizhou rebels is not low, but fortunately, they have also looted, which is not without gain, but it is a bit reluctant to continue to fight against the imperial court alone.

Then another remarkable thing appeared, the leader of the Jizhou rebels surrendered to the puppet empress Huofeng of Luoyang City, and sent his eldest son as a hostage to stay in Luoyang. He himself was named the king of Yan, the governor of Jizhou, and was in charge of the military and political affairs of Jizhou.

Later, at the beginning of April, Xiao Jiao's wife sent troops eastward, pointing at Luoyang, and Huofeng also took the initiative to confront it.

At the end of April, Ashina Falcon, who couldn't bear the loneliness, gathered all the tribes and gathered a large army with the intention of attacking Chang'an.

Not only moved, but also moved, a whole 200,000 troops sent out to merge states, intending to compete with the Turks.

At the same time, Jingshi Jinling, the imperial palace.

After reading the secret letter from Xiliang in her hand, Gao Yuyao listened to the song leisurely, and sat back and watched the world surge.
