Chapter 993: Rumors
Xiao Yao's movement will have a great impact on the future planning, and it can be regarded as a big event, even if Zhou Shaoyu can't think of a better idea, he probably thinks that there is nothing to do except let Huofeng belong in advance, but it should still be discussed.
At present, Ashina Huqin is very honest, and the defense of the eastern border of the state is handed over to Qiu Mingyuan, this general is good at defending, even if the Turks suddenly send troops, with Qiu Mingyuan's ability, there will be no problem in holding it, so Li Xiuning will be liberated and return to Taiyuan.
Now there is no shortage of war horses, but they can't all become cavalry, although the cavalry has the advantage of cavalry, but it is not omnipotent, the necessary foot soldiers are necessary, and what Li Xiuning is currently practicing is a foot soldier, but because it is not a new army, now it is mainly to practice formations, this thing is still very new to Zhou Shaoyu, and I don't see it less.
Naturally, Li Xiuning will definitely be able to attend. A few girls stayed in Jincheng, and they also waited to start together after they arrived in Taiyuan. In this process, by the way, the problem was also transmitted to Tanzhou through Xiao Qiao, and asked Li Qing to discuss it with them and see what method he could come up with.
The result was not very good, and it was agreed that unless there was a sudden third-party influence, and the level of hatred or vigilance was higher for Xiao Jiwen than for Huo Feng, otherwise, it would be difficult for Xiao Ji to give up attacking Huo Feng.
There is no way, Xiao Jiwen wants to see herself as the orthodoxy of Daliang, and she will strive for the revival of Daliang. But Huofeng is very powerful, if you revolt, you will revolt, and she has the audacity to ascend the throne and become the empress, what do you think of this called Xiao Jiwen? Who do you hit if you don't hit?
"It seems that we can only prepare in advance to announce the surrender of the fire phoenix." Zhou Shaoyu said with a headache.
The girls were speechless, and it could be seen that Zhou Shaoyu was not in a good mood because of this matter, but she really couldn't think of other ideas.
"Then let's decide, I'll write a letter and send someone to send it to Huofeng, and we're ready to surrender, we are going to put on a big show after all. But we still have to see how Huo Feng responds, according to my meaning, let her send out all those unstable factors, and then we will send an army to destroy the ...... directly"
"Report ......"
Zhou Shaoyu was interrupted in the middle of his words, a little stunned, but he also knew that if it was not an emergency, there would never be such a thing that was reported immediately without notification, and it was Zhou Zaixing who came.
"It's Zaixing, isn't it Xiao Jiwen sending troops?" Zhou Shaoyu asked.
Zhou Zaixing shook his head and said: "No, I just received the news that the Tibetan envoy sent Daliang, and the queen mother has promised to marry, and she has selected a suitable woman in the clan to be named a princess and then marry." ”
"Liang and Tubo?" Zhou Shaoyu raised his eyebrows, lowered his head and touched his chin. "In this way, isn't the fire phoenix safe?"
Tubo is in the rear, if Tubo and Daliang are good to a certain point, Xiao Jiwen has to guard against it.
"No, in my opinion, if Xiao Jiwen learns about this, she will send troops to attack Huofeng as soon as possible." But it was Wu Meiniang who asserted.
Zhou Shaoyu was stunned: "What's the explanation?" ”
"From the selection of the daughter to be married by the clan, to the reward for marrying, the whole process is not short, as long as the marriage has not been really married, between Daliang and Tubo, even if there is no alliance, it will be more than a year later, and it is at this time period that Xiao Jiwen is relatively safe."
Wu Meiniang analyzed: "Gao Yuyao has always been good at balancing consumption, it is conceivable that Tubo will inevitably send troops to interfere with Xiao Jiao's sister-in-law at that time, and at this time, if Huofeng is still there, and at the same time send troops to conquer, wouldn't it be the enemy on the back of the belly?" Even so, if you don't seize the time to attack, even if you can't extinguish the fire phoenix, you will inevitably beat it to the point where you don't dare to come out. ”
"In other words, once this news reaches Xiao Yu's ears, not only will it not stop the troops, but it will accelerate the attack and even increase the intensity of the attack!?" The more Zhou Shaoyu thought about it, the more reasonable it became, but the more he felt a headache.
Thanks to his first reaction, he thought that this level could be passed, it seems that he still has to let Huofeng return early?
"There are still ways." I never thought that Wu Meiniang said again.
"Isn't there a way you said earlier?" Zhou Shaoyu was speechless.
"Fang is the talent, it's different." Wu Meiniang shook her head. "Without external factors, Xiao Jiaowen will definitely attack the fire phoenix, but now it is different, as long as a certain time limit has passed, Xiao Jiaowen must start to guard against Tubo. The former is indefinite, and the latter is limited by time, in other words, as long as Xiao Jiwen can be sent troops in a short period of time. ”
"Well, go ahead." Zhou Shaoyu nodded, and said in his heart that she was worthy of Wu Meiniang, this head reacted quickly enough.
"Uh, it's gone."
"Huh? Didn't you say there was a way? ”
"I'm just making a rough suggestion, how to operate it still has no result, why don't you go to Chang'an in person to drag it?"
"Count me as if I just praised you for nothing."
"Huh? Did you praise me just now? ”
Zhou Shaoyu rolled his eyes, too lazy to take care of it. However, what Wu Meiniang said is also true, as long as you can hold off Xiao Yuwen for a while, you have to give up the matter of attacking Huofeng, and with Gao Yuyao's temperament, it is impossible not to let Tubo harass Xiao Jiwen. And at present, Xiao Jiwen's strength is impossible to open two battlefields at all.
It's just a matter of how to delay, is it really necessary to go over by yourself and then think of a way to deal with the situation?
The corners of Zhou Shaoyu's mouth twitched, the relationship between him and Xiao Sister-in-law is not as good as before, since he was seen by him, Xiao Sister-in-law can't wait to kill him directly, okay, so she took the initiative to go to Chang'an to deliver it to the door? What should I do if I really cut it!
But if you don't go, there's no hope of stopping it, unless you can come up with another way.
After a few days, grit your teeth and go, you can't delay any longer. After all, be prepared with both hands, once you can't succeed, Taiyuan will immediately start the recruitment action, announcing the attachment of the fire phoenix, if it is successful, then there is no need to say more.
The ancient capital of Chang'an, there is no need to describe it too much, but when it arrived in Daliang, it had decayed a lot, and it didn't even have the title of accompanying the capital, and it was even directly attributed to Yuzhou! This also caused Yuzhou in Daliang to be the largest state in the world, and there is no one.
Compared with the map of the Han Dynasty in China, Yuzhou in Daliang is equal to the Sili region of the Han Dynasty and the territory of Yuzhou and part of Yanzhou and even part of Jingzhou. Of course, Daliang does not have Yanzhou, and its territory is divided by Yuzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou. And Huizhou also occupies a small part of Yuzhou's territory.
It also has to be big enough, and it is only with the fire phoenix that occupies half of Yuzhou that it can be stabilized, otherwise it will be really enough.
Since occupying Chang'an, Xiao Jiwen has moved her princess's mansion here, and naturally, the political center of the regime headed by Xiao Jiwen has also moved here, which is also an ancient capital, which has far advantages over other places.
After repair, today's Chang'an City is a little too new, but there is no old mottled feeling, the high wall is towering, the flag is waving, at least the posture of the ancient capital has been completely up.
For the sake of safety, Zhou Shaoyu came alone, and this is him, otherwise which big boss would have gone on the road alone.
didn't dare to reveal his identity, honestly queued up to enter the city, and it was a loss that it was not peaceful today, and Xiao Jiwen did not improve the household registration and mobility system, as long as the inventory was determined that there was no control of knives, guns, bows and arrows. Otherwise, if you really want to check in detail, it will be troublesome enough.
I am not in a hurry to go directly to see Xiao Jiwen, I plan to find out the people's views on Xiao Jiwen from the folk side, and then do other things.
Stepping into a wine shop, he asked for a plate of mutton and a jug of wine, ready to eavesdrop on the words of the person next to him.
"This brother is invited." But suddenly, two men dressed as scholars stood in front of them.
"Well, you're welcome, I don't know what's going on?" Zhou Shaoyu arched his hand and responded.
Fully booked, shared!
"Brother Guan Taiqi is very lofty, but he is quite face-to-face, didn't he also rush to Chang'an when he heard rumors?" Sit down, order a drink, and one of the scholars directly set it up.
"Oh? Why do you think that you are coming from somewhere else? I don't know what the rumors are? Zhou Shaoyu said curiously.
The scholar smiled proudly, shook the fan, and said: "I can't hide it, I am a local person in Chang'an, it is best to make friends, and the local scholars are most familiar, even if I come from other places, but if I have participated in a few poetry meetings, there is no one I don't recognize, not to mention that Brother Tai is graceful, if you have seen it, you must not dare to forget, so it is asserted that Brother Tai must be new to Chang'an." As for the rumors, Brother Tai really doesn't know? ”
"Disrespectful and disrespectful, under the surname Li, the name is Yi'an, dare to ask Gongzi Gao's surname?" Zhou Shaoyu immediately politely handed it over, if what this guy said is true, it can only mean that he is well-informed, of course, he has to inquire more, as for reporting a fake name, what is this. Besides, Li Yi'an or something, isn't it Li Qingzhao, what's wrong with using his daughter-in-law's name?
"Don't dare, don't dare, under the surname Wang, the name is Deqian, the third in the family, if you don't dislike it, just call San Lang." Wang Deqian also returned the salute.
"It turned out to be Brother Deqian of the Wang family, who has been admired for a long time." Zhou Shaoyu said and said curiously: "I don't know what the rumors said about Brother Deqian?" ”
"So Brother Xian really doesn't know?" Wang Deqian changed his words so quickly, this is called by the virtuous brother. "At first, it was indeed a rumor, but now it can't be counted, and I listened to my brother slowly......"
It is said that at the beginning of the year, news came out of nowhere that the eldest princess of Shu was ready to choose a son-in-law! But I probably don't believe it very much, because apart from this rumor, there is no other proof that Xiao Jiwen has this intention. Otherwise, even if you deliberately release a wind sound to probe the reaction, you should also reveal more detailed things such as how to choose.
Not long ago, the rumors intensified, and Xiao Jiwen had to come forward in person to say that she had no such intention. But in this way, some people can't sit still.
A group of people followed Xiao Jiwen to conquer the south and the north to fight the world, although they were loyal, but everyone had their own demands. In their opinion, it was already very dissatisfied for Xiao Jiwen to make a vow that she would never sit on the supreme throne for the rest of her life, but now she has never chosen a son-in-law.
Xiao Jiwen is in her twenties, she can be regarded as an old girl, after her own attitude resolutely said that even if she is unified in the future, she will not be an empress, these people naturally hit her descendants with their ideas, otherwise pull an unfamiliar emperor from elsewhere, how do you call these civil and military officials to deal with themselves? It's better to forcibly support Xiao Jiwen's heir at that time.
But the problem is, this doesn't even have a husband, where is the heir.
It just so happened that rumors were spreading, and Yiying Wenwu not only ignored it, but sat back and watched it intensify, so as to test Xiao Auntie's attitude, and never thought that Xiao Auntie would really deny it publicly. How's that going to work? If Xiao Jiwen has no descendants, where would they dare to serve the emperor who came out of nowhere, and be properly liquidated.
So the civil and military began to be connected in series, and prepared to hold a civil and military conference in other names, the purpose was to select young heroes, and then find a way to get around Xiao Jiwen.
This is what Wang Deqian said, which is both a rumor, but it is not. Xiao Sister-in-law really didn't plan to recruit a son-in-law, but this conference was indeed for Xiao Sister-in-law. Although there is no guarantee that you will be able to become a colt after winning, it also greatly increases the chances of not being able to stand out among so many people.
Zhou Shaoyu felt strange after hearing this, and somewhat sympathized with Xiao Yao's sister-in-law. There is no reason why Xiao Xiaowen and Wu have made such a big incident together, and they can know their true intentions with a little inquiry, but since they have not said anything so far, it means that they have acquiesced. And it's completely forced, otherwise what else can you do? Jump out and stop it?
In the final analysis, the name of the family is something else, not a son-in-law, and it is too unreasonable for Xiao Jiwen to jump out to oppose it, and it will make Wen Wen feel congested. There is no other way than acquiescence.
Probably it can only be self-comforting, let's just think of it as a selection of talents, after all, there is always a need for talents.
Just thinking about it, I saw this Wang Deqian take out a booklet, and said: "Brother Xian, since you know about this, you happen to come to Chang'an, it's a pity not to sign up for a try, come on, I have a booklet here, the record on it is definitely a secret, and let you take a look at it first......"
Zhou Shaoyu took a look, okay, what color Xiao Xiao's favorite color, what kind of food she likes, and ...... I can't see it, Wang Deqian has already taken it back.
"How? This is a good thing, you and I are destined, so I am willing to endure the pain and cut my love, and I will transfer it to you for only five taels of silver. Wang Deqian said with an expression that you have made a lot of money.
Zhou Shaoyu covered his face instantly, okay, I still think that people are really messing around in Chang'an City, and co-authoring is making crooked money at all. Real, and not afraid to be caught?
After several shirks, it was finally sold for two taels of silver. Zhou Shaoyu can look through it carefully, but it is basically certain that it is basically blind, no matter what, he and Xiao Xiaowen are very familiar, and they know some preferences, and the booklet is obviously wrong.
Shaking his head, let's put it away as a souvenir, it's a funny thing, isn't it?
After sitting for a while, making sure that he didn't hear anything useful, he got up and left the liquor store.
