After catching the killer who slipped through the net, He Zexu set off to Loucheng that night.
Although he was still confused, he also knew that what his wife said was not unreasonable.
He also knew that his wife did not want to be separated from him. Even if she persuaded him to go to the border, even if she saluted him, he knew her discomfort and the struggle she endured while sending him out of the city gate.
felt it.
When he thought of this, He Zexu, who was on horseback, couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
All of this is thanks to Qi Qinsheng and the restless King Gaoqiu. I will make you regret it, He Zexu said in his heart through gritted teeth.
Naturally, he also knew that going to the border to fight against the enemy this time would not be easy or simple.
Although the alliance between Yangli and Gaoqiu does not trust each other, the pressure it puts on the Anyu border is still there.
Previously, Gaoqiu sent 20,000 troops, and he led more than 10,000 troops. If his son Xiaoan had not led the troops to support him, he might have died in that battle.
This time, even if he wants to resolve the border issue as soon as possible, he is not sure of the speed at the moment.
He is the God of War but not the real God. No matter how brave he is and how good he is at using soldiers, if the disparity between the enemy's and our own forces is too great, the battle will be difficult to fight and he will be defeated.
In the past, when Sanniang was still alive, he was not afraid of losing the battle, nor was he afraid of dying in battle. He tried his best to help his father, and death would be a relief.
But things are different now. Sanniang is alive and has three children.
Therefore, he cannot lose this battle no matter what. He wants to live, be reunited with his wife and children, and live a good life.
So what if the two countries join forces, no one can affect the happy life of his family of five.
He was a prince born into a royal family. Perhaps what other princes wanted was the supreme dragon chair, but he just wanted to live an ordinary but happy life with his wife and children.
He Zexu, full of resentment and murderous intent, went straight to the border of Loucheng.
When Wei Zijun, who had sent him away, returned to the city, no trace of sadness or worry could be seen on his face, and there was only anger on his face.
After returning to the mansion, Ruyi asked Ruyi to go to bed early, while he went into the study.
"Mom, what do you plan to do? Just tell your son." Xiao Le, who followed in, looked at her mother's expression and knew she had plans.
Xiao Le has always been smart, and he is also familiar with his mother's temperament. No matter whether her mother was the lord of 50% of the Three Kingdoms or later the lord of the Seven Cities, her temperament will never change.
She was still just thinking about how to make the lives of the people in her seven cities better and more stable. My mother had never had the greed to plunder and annex more cities, let alone be a queen.
However, not being greedy or ambitious does not mean that she is afraid of things.
Over the years, her attitude towards friends coming over to express their goodwill was that they would have good tea and wine when they came.
If you are looking for trouble with bad intentions, then I'm sorry. Not only will you not be able to get any advantage, but there is a high possibility that you will never come back. This is called a decisive attack.
To sum it up simply, I don’t cause trouble and I’m not afraid of getting into trouble.
But now, you have finally reunited with your father's family, but there are people who don't want to make things easier for you. How can you not be annoyed?
Wei Zijun walked to the bookshelf, pulled out a scroll from the large blue and white vat, and spread it out on the desk.
Even though Xiao Le hasn't gotten close yet, he knows what's on it. It's a map of the Seven Kingdoms.
"I will edit a letter, and you arrange for someone to go to Tongzhou to deliver it to Lu Shoubei." Wei Zijun said.
When Xiao Le heard this, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and studied ink, looking at the position of his mother's finger on the map: "Mom, there are only more than 6,000 soldiers and horses in Tongzhou. What are your plans? Forgive my son for being stupid."
He was considered smart, but at this moment he couldn't guess what his mother told Lu Shoubei to do.
Tongzhou City is close to Gaoqiu Kingdom, but you want Lu Shou to use more than 6,000 soldiers and horses to put pressure on the Gaoqiu border? This is simply not feasible.
"There are not many soldiers and horses in Tongzhou, but there are many garrisons in Gubai and Minggu cities." Wei Zijun said.
Xiao Le frowned slightly and looked at the map again.
There are three cities on the border between Mingli Kingdom and Gaoqiu, namely Tongzhou City, which has surrendered to my mother, Gubaicheng and Minggu City.
"Mom, what do you mean, let Lu Shoubei find a way to contact the garrisons in those two cities to help us? However, General Pu Wengeng of Gubai and General Li Qiang of Naming Ancient City are both loyal to serve the country.
Can someone like me do it?" Xiao Le understood her mother's plan.
Although he has no ambitions towards other countries, he still needs to know himself and his enemy. Therefore, he has also investigated the general national conditions of Mingli Kingdom and the situation of each fortress.
Wei Zijun nodded after hearing this: "Son, you are right, but I don't expect them to take the risk and secretly mobilize troops to help us attack Gaoqiu."
Huh? Xiaole tilted his head and thought for a moment as he listened: "What do you mean, mother, just let them gather at the border to show off to Gaoqiu Country?"
My son is smart, Wei Zijun nodded approvingly.
"My son roughly knows what my mother is doing. The king of the Ming Dynasty was a foolish king who did not defend his loyalty and treachery. He not only wasted money and people in building the Palace of Worship, but also built the Palace of Worshiping Heaven in order to seek immortality.
The national treasury was empty, and military pay was withheld, especially the military pay, food and fodder for the troops stationed at the border, and was delayed again and again.
Although the two generals are both loyal ministers, the more they are, the more they cherish their soldiers and horses.
So, my mother is actually planning to use the money, right?
Winter was about to come, and with their money, their troops and horses could survive the winter safely.
As long as they do something at the border to make Gaoqiu suspicious and alert, it is not considered a betrayal. Even if they are questioned by the court, it can be said that they have received news that Gaoqiu's troops and horses are mobilized abnormally, so they need to take necessary precautions
That's all.
Mother, you are so talented.
In this way, Gaoqiu, who originally had to be on the lookout for something fishy in the Yangli Kingdom, but also had to worry about guessing what the Mingli Kingdom might do to them, had to reconsider the risks involved in joining forces with the Yangli Kingdom.
How big is it.
When it comes to the safety of his own country, he must be more cautious." The more Xiao Le analyzed, the more he admired his mother.
Sure enough, my mother is the most powerful.
While he was talking, Wei Zijun was writing like flying, and the letter he wrote to Lu Shoubei was ready.
"Son, I'll find someone to deliver the letter right now." Xiao Le folded the letter and stuffed it into a seal, then hurried away.
Wei Zijun still had no intention of going back to his room to rest, and tapped his fingers lightly on the desk.
Although she cannot ride a horse into battle to kill the enemy like her husband and son, she is not a woman who can only stay at home and wait anxiously, anxiously, and worry about her husband and son, nor is she a woman who can only kneel down and pray to God.
Bodhisattva bless your family and your family.
There are many things she can do and be able to do.
