The withdrawal of the Northern Hebei Army under the command of Zhang Ping was really a great joy.
The old Protector immediately wrote a letter and quickly sent it to the capital to inform the prince.
After Zhou Gu thought about it, he said to the old protector of the country: "Grandfather, you and your eldest brother will take one hundred thousand soldiers and horses back from Beijing. Let the third brother and I take two hundred thousand soldiers and horses to the border."
The old Protector looked at him.
"Xiao Qi and I suspect that Zhang Ping is colluding with the Wei Dynasty. When Zhang Ping launches an army, the Wei Dynasty will definitely mobilize troops and horses. The Da Wei Dynasty will definitely not wait for Zhang Ping to succeed before launching troops. What the Da Wei Wei is waiting for should be the civil war in Daliang.
When we get up, we will mobilize troops. Therefore, we rush to the border. If we can deter Wei, it is best not to dare to mobilize troops. If we cannot, we can also block Wei's cavalry." Zhou Gu said.
The old protector of the country stroked his beard and nodded, "It is possible, and this is the reason."
He looked at Zhou Gu, he was such a good grandson, but it was a pity that he would not stay with him.
He waved to Zhou Gu and said, "Let Zhou Wei go and Xing Ze go too. You all go and I will lead the troops back."
He is an old man, but he can still lead a hundred thousand soldiers and horses. When he returns to the capital, he just needs to go slowly. There are military doctors in the army.
Zhou Wei also nodded immediately, "Grandpa said yes, I must go."
He is the eldest son of the Duke Protector's Palace. There is no reason why his younger brothers should stand in front of him every time. If this continues, he will die of depression. As the eldest son, he has no chance to work.
"Okay!" Zhou Gu glanced at his elder brother.
So, on that day, 200,000 Northern Hebei troops broke out of camp and prepared to set off for the border.
The old protector of the country was in front of the tent, watching the troops and horses about to arrive. Zhou Gu accompanied him and said to him: "Grandpa, no matter whether the Wei Dynasty has mobilized troops or not, this time I will go to the border and deal with the matter."
It’s Nanchu.”
The old Protector turned his head and glanced at him. It was rare for the grandfather and grandson to speak kindly, "Let's go."
Zhou Guxiao said, "Grandpa, please don't be too reluctant to let me go. You are strong and strong. Live a few more years. When Xiaoqi wins that position, I will become her royal husband and take you and my grandmother to live in Nanchu."
The old Protector glared, "You not only abandoned your family and property, but you also kidnapped me and your grandmother? What are you talking about!"
Zhou Gu clicked his tongue, approached him and asked, "You don't want to go, that's fine, my grandmother and mother will definitely be happy to go."
The old Protector laughed angrily, "You've been angry with me all day long, why can't you do anything? I can't bear to raise you so big that you become someone else's, a piece of shit."
Zhou Gu had never heard a good word from him, and eight out of ten times, he was scolded. Anyway, he was used to scolding, and he could understand that this was his grandfather's special way of loving him. After all, several grandchildren, he
Just scold him.
He must be the only one who can accept this exclusive favor!
He was speechless for a moment, "The prince didn't want to leave me, so don't be angry. It's not a big deal. When you go back, tell my grandmother and my mother not to worry about me. Xiao Qi couldn't bear to let me go. It was too painful for her, and she softened her heart."
The most terrible thing is that I will live a good life with her in the future. She even canceled her marriage to Ye Guixue at Ye Xiangfu, and she will never wrong me in the future."
After saying this, the old Protector blew his beard again and said, "You are my grandson, not my granddaughter."
What kind of grievance is there? It's like he is marrying his grandson.
Zhou Gu chuckled, "That's what it means anyway."
"Go away!" The old Protector waved his hand, disgusted with him, "Always write letters to your grandmother and your mother to prevent them from thinking about you."
He couldn't bear the fact that his old wife's eyes would turn red when she mentioned this boy, and she would wipe her eyes and cry, and she had to be coaxed by him.
Zhou Gu nodded, turned around, looked at the old Protector, stretched out his arms and hugged him, "Grandpa, take care."
The old Protector choked up, almost losing his strength and his eyes turned red, "Go, go, go!"
Zhou Gu hugged him for a while, then he got on his horse and rolled away.
The old Protector watched the 200,000 soldiers and horses set off to leave, and the smoke and dust soon disappeared. He watched for a long time before sighing deeply.
The soldier asked at the side: "Old Duke, shall we set off now?"
"We? There is no rush." The old Protector shook his head, "We will leave after I send a letter to Su Rong and let the little girl come to see me."
He didn't bother looking for her because he was an old man. Anyway, let her find her little arms and legs. He had something he wanted to say to her.
After all, she had already given her grandson a marriage contract. This matter could no longer be trivial. Now that she had made a marriage contract, she could no longer break it. His grandson had abandoned the path he had paved since he was young, and she had accepted him.
Well, then you have to treat her well in the future. But if you don’t want to have three wives and four concubines, follow the example of those men. No, he was wrong. If you don’t want to have three palaces and six courtyards, she is the future Queen of Nanchu and she can’t do this, otherwise
, just because of his grandson's attitude toward her, if she dared to do that, his grandson would go crazy.
It’s not that he is planning ahead and worrying too early about things that have not happened. In fact, rights are the same for men and women. A king standing at the top can secure the throne not only by love and love, but also by balancing the interests of each family.
In order to control the government and the public, many emperors used the method of filling the harem to save worry and effort. Even the King of Southern Chu and the major families sent people to his harem, and he did not refuse. Although he did not enter the harem, the three
There are quite a few in the Sixth Courtyard of the Palace.
Of course, the King of Nanchu is different from other emperors. He must have other methods. Even if he does not enter the harem or favor his concubines, he can still stabilize the situation of the court. Otherwise, Nanchu will not be stable for so many years. But overall, there is no
Get rid of having women in the harem.
And he didn't force Su Rong, he just wanted to hear what her plans were for Nan Chu and Zhou Gu if she became king. He could really feel at ease by meeting Su Rong.
When Zhou Gu left, he didn't know that his grandfather had this plan. No matter how smart he was, he would never have thought of it. After all, Su Rong hadn't gone to Nanchu yet, and it would take a lot of effort to get into that position. He now
I just have a guaranteed marriage contract and haven't gotten married yet. It's too early to think about this.
Su Rong didn't know that the old Protector had planned ahead for her grandson to the point of caring about her future harem. She was waiting for news about Zhang Yun while she was on her way.
It was not in vain for her to wait. The day after the 150,000 troops and horses she brought arrived at Longxi County, she received a letter from Zhang Yun.
Zhang Yun said in the letter that, as expected, Zhang Ping was dead, he had taken over the 250,000-strong Northern Hebei Army, had turned back, and would join her at Longxi County in the near future.
Su Rong smiled, "As expected of Zhang Yun."
Fengling came up to her and took a look at the contents of the letter, then nodded repeatedly, "Mr. Zhang is really a character."
He really did what he said, without losing any blood.
Su Rong estimated the time and told Fengling, "In five days, kill the sheep and cows and hold a banquet for him."
