Many important officials and ministers stood respectfully around the palace. Xun Shangguan looked at the memorial on the jade case indifferently, reading the contents word for word.
This memorial is an important letter transmitted through a magical talisman. It is not a military information message of extraordinary importance, nor will a very expensive talisman be used to communicate the war situation.
All the important ministers and generals in Fengwu Pavilion looked at Xun Shangguan's calm face, waiting for the monarch's announcement.
The two kingdoms of Zheng and Song were imminent, and their pressure was pressing on Ye Ting, making the solemn Ye Ting's atmosphere become even more solemn.
"At the Battle of Yuanshui, I heard that the Grand Master led his troops to attack the barbarians, killed the three barbarian leaders, and dispersed 400,000 barbarian soldiers, demonstrating the prestige of our Lu Kingdom. This is an unprecedented victory since the founding of our Xun clan. Woohoo! How magnificent.
Wen Taishi!"
Suddenly, Xun Shang stood up to hold the case, a wisp of joy between his brows lingered for a long time, and said loudly.
boom!
This sudden news made all the ministers in the palace look at each other in shock. However, the defeat of hundreds of thousands of barbarians was indeed a rare victory for the Lu State. In all the wars fought by the Lu State, its influence ranked among the top three.
Wow!
Hundreds of ministers and officials in the palace suddenly kowtowed and congratulated in unison: "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord, my country, Lu, has a prosperous national fortune. The southern frontier will enjoy another two hundred years of peace. There will be no war on the frontier, and the country will be prosperous."
"
The chorus of hundreds of officials shook Fengwu Pavilion slightly, echoing inside and outside Fengwu Palace.
The rout of hundreds of thousands of barbarians is like breaking the backbone of the border barbarians. Without two hundred years of recuperation, trying to gather hundreds of thousands of barbarians to cause chaos again is simply a fool's dream. And two hundred years of cultivation is one thing.
, on the other hand, there must be real top strongmen in charge, otherwise no matter how many barbarians there are, they are just a piece of insignificant sand. Losing the constraints of the barbarians in the southern border will have extraordinary significance for the future development of Lu State.
of.
"Hahaha……"
Xun Shangguan happily looked at the crowns of the princes and said: "I heard that the Grand Master has made great achievements with the country, has great virtues with all people, and has great deeds with the world. With such great virtues, great merits and great deeds, I should respect him as my father."
Although the influence of Wen Yuanming's battle has not been reflected yet, no one will underestimate the [Blackwater Regiments] who defeated hundreds of thousands of barbarians. If there were such a strong army standing around, how many people would there be?
At the border of the two countries, the two countries of Zheng and Song, which had been constantly making small moves, had to temporarily suspend their efforts.
Of course, there is also a [Flying Phoenix Divine Armament] stationed in Yeting. If something really threatens the survival of Lu State's Sheji, this [Flying Phoenix Divine Armament] will be enough to ensure the survival of Lu State's Sheji.
A Xun family minister sighed: "Your Majesty is so gracious, and everyone in the world will take the Grand Master as a model!"
"Your Majesty is so kind, your Grand Master will be a model for the world!" All the ministers in the palace admired him and kowtowed to Xun Shangguan, who was sitting high on the throne.
The inferior is the second, respect him like his second father!
When Xun Shangguan addressed him as "Yafu", none of the ministers in the palace were impressed. Even though the old master was a senior figure in four dynasties, this title was too heavy, and it almost defined his position as the number one person in his dynasty.
Xun Shangguan said: "I have been entrusted with hearing the edict of the Grand Master. If you have compiled it carefully, everyone in the world will surely know that the Grand Master has made great achievements and great virtues."
"promise!"
The ministers in the palace agreed one after another, and the sound of purging echoed in the palace.
For the humane Kyushu, it is politically correct to respect the king and repel the barbarians. The interest disputes between countries are all for selfish interests. Only the achievement of conquering the barbarians can be the real achievement.
Fan Yizhi, the senior official, spoke up and said: "Your Majesty, since there is no war in the southern border, my country, Lu, has repeatedly provoked Zheng and Song in the north, and it is time to respond and put an end to it."
"oh?"
Xun Shangguan's eyebrows twitched and he said: "The two countries of Zheng and Song Dynasty are inherently provocative, but I, the Lu State, won a great victory in the battle of Yuanshui. The [Blackwater Warriors] suffered countless casualties. With my army of Lu State, which is exhausted from long battles, we will fight against Zheng and the two countries of Song Dynasty to recuperate their energy."
A sharp weapon does not follow the art of war."
He slowly stroked the bronze button and gold seal that symbolized Marquis Lu, and said without joy or anger, "Song and Lu are in-law states. I compiled a letter and presented it to the Marquis of Song. I believe that the Marquis of Song will understand Lu Guo's goodwill."
.”
If you don’t understand, it will be a military encounter!
Fan Yizhi lowered his head and asked, "I wonder, how should we deal with Zheng Guo's aggressiveness?"
Xun Shangguan shook his head and said: "There is no need to deal with it. With Zheng Gong's cunning and the knowledge of Zheng's ministers, how can he easily fight with my soldiers?"
The [Black Water Warriors] are so powerful that they have experienced the baptism of hundreds of thousands of barbarian soldiers in bloody battles. They are already recognized as strong soldiers in the world. If there is another chance, they may become the second national defense army of Lu State.
The so-called "Xuanniao" of Zheng State, "Ferocious Tiger" of Song State, and "Flying Phoenix" of Lu State, the three Dao soldiers suppressed the states of Yuzhou. If they are fully upgraded in one day, they may not be able to reach the level of Dao soldiers and defeat the top three in Yuzhou in one fell swoop.
The overall situation of separation.
"Besides, there is another Shang Cai, so we need to weigh the pros and cons."
"Wu Hui's... an ancient Huozheng, I didn't expect such a surprise!"
Xun Shangguan pressed his palms on the throne, his eyes were deep and deep, and he looked at the Shang Cai Yu's sentiments mentioned in one stroke at the end of the memorial.
…………
Fengluan Pavilion!
Pavilions, waterside pavilions, arched stone bridges, gurgling water, and swaying flower branches.
Si Xuanyun was sitting in the waterside pavilion, holding a jasper fan in her hand. A red silk belt hung from the fan handle, and one or two beautiful jade beads were tied to it. Two attendants, red sandalwood and green glass, were waiting on her.
Outside the waterside pavilion, a capable servant with bright eyes was observing and patrolling the surroundings.
These chamberlains were all servants who came as dowries from the Song Dynasty. Each of them was at least a martial arts expert at the level of "cutting off hair and washing marrow." They were Si Xuanyun's most trusted team members in Yeting.
"That little brat has really gained momentum!" Looking at the presented letter, gently shaking the emerald green fan, Si Xuanyun smiled indifferently, with a hint of coldness on his pointed eyebrows.
Under the gaze of his eyes, this piece of paper suddenly turned into flying ashes, and the floating ashes swayed, falling from Si Xuanyun's fingertips like mutton-fat white jade.
"Madam, that little boy is indeed no longer what he used to be. I asked a trusted person to conduct an inspection on Shang Cai's place."
Qingli's pretty face had a solemn look on her face, and she said word by word: "It's really shocking. The current situation in Shangcai is completely under the control of that bastard. The hundreds of thousands of people in Shangcai only know that bastard."
, but don’t know Ye Ting’s teachings.”
"He has dozens of innate generals under his command, three Zhongfu Sanche who are close to great masters, and tens of thousands of soldiers who have experienced bloody battles with the barbarians and have strong morale. They are even a great master who has reached the level of physical sainthood.
Strength and power can no longer be taken lightly."
Since Xun Shaoyu didn't care about hiding his own strength, anyone who was interested could almost get this piece of information. Therefore, Qingli didn't waste much time at all and got the extremely clear investigation situation in his hand.
"Become a saint in the flesh?" Si Xuanyun's eyes were focused, the blue veins of his jade hands were exposed, and he pinched the jade handle of the precious fan with a loud bang.
Si Xuanyun's family was very knowledgeable and had a great background in the Song Dynasty. How could he not know how rare it was to become a saint by refining the body in the Eighty-one Days of "Yi Jin Ji Forging Bones" and the great opportunity within it.
In the battle between the emperors thousands of years ago, the unparalleled overlord missed a single move and was sadly defeated, but he is still not completely dead. It has to be said that with him reaching the state of indestructible vajra, his body is not damaged or worn, it is difficult to
Real beheading has a huge relationship.
"How is it possible? I'm just a concubine, and actually... unexpectedly..." Si Xuanyun whispered to himself, the malice in his beautiful eyes became more and more serious, making people dare not look directly, and even the atmosphere in the waterside pavilion could not help but cool down.
a bit,
"No wonder, people often say that when people see each other for three days, they should look at each other with admiration!"
"In other words, even I have to avoid that brat's momentum?" Si Xuanyun was completely alert. Xun Shaoyu's malicious behavior in Shangcai forced her to pay attention.
Even though she has a noble status, she would not dare to be careless when dealing with the malice of a person who has become a saint in the flesh. With the background of the Si family of the Song Dynasty, she must be wary of a master who has reached the stage of becoming a saint in the flesh.
.
"Madam, the current Xun Shaoyu is no longer the Xun Shaoyu who left Yeting with hundreds of cavalry."
Qing Li said calmly: "Now he has elite soldiers and generals in his hands, calling the shots in Shangcai. His power and authority are astonishing. Taking advantage of this chaos, although he is called a martial arts master, he is actually
It has already established its own independent regime. Unless he violates the emperor's orders and openly raises troops to cause chaos, there is nothing we can do for him for the time being."
"Should we just forget it?" Si Xuanyun said unwillingly, squeezing with her thin fingers.
"In this case, will He'er no longer need the fiefdom?"
"That brat has the guts to usurp He'er's fiefdom. As a mother, will I have to watch He'er be bullied?"
A trace of resentment appeared on Si Xuanyun's jade face, and the handle of the precious fan she squeezed kept making noise. If this precious fan wasn't also a treasure weapon, she might have crushed it into a handful of jade powder.
Zitan's face changed slightly and said: "Madam, what do you mean?"
Obviously, Si Xuanyun, who had a smooth life, would not bear this breath.
Si Xuanyun sneered and said: "Anyway, I can't bear this resentment. Since ordinary means can't do anything about this boy, I will ask the prince to do it himself to teach that boy a lesson."
"After all, I have legal rights in this matter. Part of the fiefdom in Shangcai belongs to me, He'er. It was all usurped by that kid who used his name to throw dirt on He'er and use conspiracy and tricks.
The fiefdom is not recognized by the Xun clan of Lu State at all."
"I just want you to give me a clear explanation. I don't believe you, Ye Ting. You still can't find a place to reason?"
"It really doesn't work. The [Evil Tiger] of the Si clan of the Song Dynasty is not just a decoration."
…………
The surging abyss water, fierce and rapid, the rapid water potential and the wide river channel formed this natural danger.
Xun Shaoyu, dressed in plain clothes, swam arm-in-arm with the old master, watching the turbulent and unpredictable main channel of Yuanshui. This was the first and perhaps the last time the two of them had arm-in-arm since the Battle of Yuanshui.
Travel together.
Even though there are some differences between the two parties in the division of interests, the rhetoric exchanges over the past few days have shown some affection.
"I have summarized the situation in Shangcai and reported it to the prince. As for the actual ownership of Shangcai, we still have to wait for the prince's decision."
Wen Yuanming said softly: "However, with the noble mind, I will definitely agree to my request, but a great master, a great uncle, and the three elders of the Xun family have already made you offend them."
Second, you better take care of yourself, young master!"
You must know that the original owner of the so-called land of Qianli Shangcai was Taiyong Xun, the great lord. If the great lord Fu had not taken out this piece of fiefdom as a fiefdom for the people, Xun Shaoyu, as a concubine, would have a land of ten miles.
A fiefdom is already a better treatment.
And Xun Shaoyu has the current power, his own city, and talent are one thing, but without Xun Taiyong's gift, he would have no chance to break free from the shackles of Ye Ting and show his talents in this border area.
Now he is usurping the fiefdom of Xun Taiyong's direct grandson, which is morally and rationally untenable.
Xun Shaoyu said bluntly: "The reason for this is indeed that I was wrong in the first place. It's just that under the current situation, I was allowed to settle down and abandon hundreds of thousands of Guizhou people for the sake of my own safety. I wouldn't do it!"
Xun Shaoyu has been coveting the position of Doctor Cai for a long time, and the important reason why he took the risk of sending troops is to have the opportunity to legitimately get involved in the position of Doctor Cai. If not, he would have closed his door and established his own tyranny, which would be considered a
A good way to protect yourself.
Wen Yuanming sighed quietly and said: "But Young Master, when you were integrating Shangcai, the methods you used were not very fair!"
"I took the opportunity to misinterpret Ye Ting's edict and used barbarian power to force the four Cai to integrate. The method was so clever that I even feel ashamed."
Xun Shaoyu smiled softly and said: "There is no way, I am just a bastard whose father does not care for my mother and does not love my mother, a poor person who has to climb up even if he has no chance to create opportunities."
"If I were a legitimate son who was not worried about his wealth and life, but could sit back and wait for death, I would naturally not resort to any tricks. It's a pity...I don't have such a destiny. It can be said that my heart is as high as the sky and my life is as thin as paper."
Wen Yuanming looked at Xun Shaoyu solemnly, the figure in his eyes was really weird.
"Your destiny is not thin at all!"
The old master sneered and walked towards the direction of the Blackwater Camp. There were still faint sounds floating around.
"Whether I can succeed in taking up the position of Doctor Cai depends on the intention of the prince. Xun Taiyong and Xun Taiwei may not care about the fiefdom of a younger generation, but the prince will not care about their thoughts.
"
"There is also Mrs. Lu Guo. The king has to take it into consideration. Among the four Cai, you have the weakest foundation. Even if I recommend it, you have great achievements and can block the mouths of the ministers. In that position, you
You may not be able to sit still."
"Just do it for yourself!
The figure of the old master had gone far away, but the powerful and vigorous voice still echoed in Xun Shaoyu's ears.
