All Hail Cousin Brother

Intelligence and reconnaissance are not easy, but he has patience.

If it can't be done in one year, it will take two, three, four, five years... piecemeal information, after several verifications and confirmations, will be perfected little by little.

Yu Youyao was a little unbelievable: "Cousin really has no plans."

Even the topographic map of the grassland has been surveyed. This is something that even Emperor Gaozu did not do in those days. Otherwise, the situation of the Northern Expedition was very good, and it would not have ended suddenly.

Zhou Linghuai shook his head: "The upper armies are attacking the plot, the second is attacking the Jiaotong, the second is the army, and the lower is attacking the city. Since Harmon took the initiative to make a deal, then in this deal, I have the best advantage and can pay the smallest price. To get the maximum benefit, there is no need to go to war.”

Having said this, he spoke for a while, and then said--

"I want to come to Harmon and I know that with the powerful war horses on the grassland, even if the Great Zhou Dynasty is in chaos, as long as I guard the northern border for one day, they will not dare to act rashly."

Yu Youyao agreed: "Cousin is back in Youzhou this time, when will he come back?"

Zhou Linghuai said, "If there is no accident, return to Beijing in July at the latest."

It will take more than two months to calculate, Yu Youyao suppressed the reluctance in her heart: "You have to be careful, beware of Bei Di's ulterior motives," she frowned, a little worried: "The reason why Weininghou and Changxinghou were so daring back then was because The reason for stealing military power in Youzhou is because they colluded with Bei Di and forged evidence that King Li of Zhou colluded with the enemy and plotted against the enemy, and the evidence was more convincing if it passed the Di people.

The Marquis of Changxing blatantly besieged Youwangfu with his troops, because once the "criminal evidence" was "searched" from Youwangfu, Youwangfu would be convicted of collaborating with the enemy and treason.

The princess and the county master just guessed this, so they would not hesitate to set fire to Prince You's Mansion.

Although, she didn't think Harmon could be considered a cousin.

It's just that nothing is absolute.

At the beginning, who could have predicted that His Highness, the invincible God of War in the Great Zhou Dynasty, would die under the conspiracy of the petty people?

The little girl frowned lightly, her worries and reluctance towards him were written on her face, and Zhou Linghuai's heart trembled: "Don't worry! Since I have responded to Harmon's request, I have also taken precautions against all kinds of problems. "

Yu Youyao breathed a sigh of relief: "Cousin returns to Youzhou with peace of mind, but don't delay business because of me."

My cousin never leaves Beijing in the early days, but never leaves Beijing in the evening, but she has to wait until the imperial court seals her as the county head of Shaoyi. How could she not be able to guess the key?

In the early spring of each year, Bei Di was at a time when the soldiers were weak. This year, the northern spring was dry, and the lush aquatic plants were not able to recuperate. The situation should be very serious.

Bei Di's request for trading must have been communicated to his cousin early in the morning.

My cousin has never returned to Youzhou, and he also knows the many calculations in the palace, so he can't worry about her. The court sealed her the county head of Shaoyi, which happened to be the safest time for her.

Zhou Linghuai bent his lips: "Don't think too much, Harmon's private letter was handed to me in early April. The reason why you didn't leave immediately is not entirely your reason."

Yu Youyao didn't believe that in April, cousin's legs had basically recovered, and there was no need to continue acupuncture, and it would not affect cousin's return to Youzhou.

Zhou Linghuai had no choice but to say: "Harmon made a transaction request, and I can't rashly agree. First of all, we have to investigate the situation of Beidi's drought and whether he is sincere in the transaction. Only then can we take care of them and start raising the price."

"The Great Zhou Dynasty and Bei Di have been at war for many years, and the hostility between the two sides is still deep. Bei Di's initiative to show weakness is not completely credible. The precautions that should be taken also need time to arrange and deploy, in order to be sure."

"Harmon asked me, and I took advantage of it. I let them hang out and let them mess up. When the transaction is timed, I can further raise the price and get more benefits from it."

Of course, the reasons for the total number of zeros and zeros add up, and it is impossible to repeat them one by one.

This is a psychological warfare that can't see the smoke of gunpowder.

It is patience, strategy, and ingenuity.

Yu Youyao pouted and was a little unhappy: "Really?"

Zhou Linghuai opened her mouth subconsciously, wanting to say "really", but when the words came to her mouth, she saw that the little girl lost her smile, looked at him without blinking, and sat up straight, not knowing where it came from. The desire to survive changed his mouth: "The main reason is that I can't worry about you."

This is not a lie, and most of them are still worried about her.

The little girl smiled and curved her lips, and asked repeatedly, "Really?"

Zhou Linghuai breathed a sigh of relief for no reason and nodded affirmatively: "Really."

At this moment, he also recalled——

If he answered that it was entirely for Yu Youyao, Yu Youyao would feel that he was interfering with his business, and he would feel uneasy and worried.

If his answer is not for Yu Youyao, Yu Youyao will think that in his heart, these miscellaneous reasons are more important than worrying about her.

Just like this, half of it was calculated for other reasons, and the other half was because of worrying about her.

It will neither make her feel that she has delayed his business, nor will it make her feel that these so-called business are more important than worrying about her.

Just right!

Only villains and women are difficult to raise, and the ancients did not deceive me.

Zhou Linghuai sighed in his heart and felt that it was necessary to add: "This time is not the right time. I will take you with me when I return to Youzhou next time."

really!

Yu Youyao's voice was sweet and soft: "Brother Jingzhi, don't worry about me, I'll wait for you."

Zhou Linghuai was really relieved this time: "You have been sealed as the county head of Shaoyi. The current situation is relatively safe, but you must be careful. It will be chaos in the palace soon."

Yu Youyao's eyes widened: "In the palace?"

"Yes," Zhou Linghuai nodded, smiling deeper and deeper: "The emperor's dragon body doesn't have much time."

Yu Youyao felt a "squeak" in her heart, and the first thing that came to her mind was Concubine Lan, who just came out of the cold palace, and Concubine Xu Gui from the confinement palace.

She couldn't help but ask: "I heard that taking Jinshi Pill all the year round will make you feel dizzy?"

Zhou Linghuai said meaningfully: "Not only that, but it will also make people emotionally mad and crazy, like losing their minds. Erysipelas is in the body for many years. Just adding a small amount will trigger toxins in the body, and it will be difficult for gods to save."

The cousin's answer undoubtedly confirmed her guess. The emperor could not stay awake, and the battle for the throne would become confusing, and Yu Youyao was in a trance.

The battle for the throne is not only for the supreme power, but also for one's own life.

Win or lose, there is no choice.

Xiao Qiang's disaster was doomed from the day Concubine Lu came out of the cold palace.

In fact, she should have foreseen this day, but when this day came, she was a little dazed. Natural and man-made disasters continued, and it was the people of Li who suffered.

I would rather be an unhappy dog ​​than a chaotic person.

Zhou Linghuai sighed softly: "Da Zhou's vigor is exhausted."
