"you sure?"
A look of surprise flashed across Ji Ziyue's cheeks.
She originally thought that Yang Dong would not give her any surprises. After all, judging from the current situation, Da Zhou has no advantage at all when facing Hou Jin's cavalry.
In the past, we could rely on the strength of our troops and the bravery of generals to build a line of defense in front of us.
But now that Yang Yan has his own troops, Dazhou has never even had a chance to build a defense line.
Ji Ziyue knew about this matter, but was helpless.
But she couldn't figure out where Yang Dong meant "there is still room for improvement".
I felt Ji Ziyue's eyes gradually flashing with hope. While Yang Dong breathed a sigh of relief, he also took the initiative to take Ji Ziyue into his arms.
This time, Ji Ziyue did not refuse, but stared directly at Yang Dong and asked:
"Xiao Dongzi, tell me your plan quickly. Don't you want to trick me into understanding it?"
"Actually... this matter is not that difficult."
Yang Dong pondered for a moment, and could only make things up while thinking.
"Your Majesty, think about it, this is the second wave of Hou Jin's attack this year. The last time they occupied Youzhou Horse Farm, Hou Jin mobilized more than 100,000 troops and consumed countless amounts of food and grass."
"Does Your Majesty think Hou Jin is still capable of organizing another large-scale war?"
After hearing this, a look of thought appeared on Ji Ziyue's beautiful cheeks.
Speaking of which, this is indeed the case.
Houjin was originally located in a grassland area, and there was not enough food and grass. Otherwise, they would not come to Youzhou to thresh grass in the valley every autumn and winter.
But... this matter cannot be determined so easily. After all, Hou Jin's invasion was truly prepared.
Ji Ziyue wouldn't believe it if they said they didn't reserve some food and grass in advance.
After all, the leader of the Later Jin Dynasty was not a simple person.
Thinking of this, Ji Ziyue said with some uncertainty:
"Perhaps... Hou Jin has already prepared and hid some food and grass?"
"Okay, even so, I judge that they don't dare to attack me Dazhou in a big way."
Yang Dong continued to speak, trying to find a way to round out his speech.
"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about Da Qin's attitude?"
As soon as these words came out, a look of thought flashed across Ji Ziyue's majestic face.
Da Qin borders Da Zhou and Hou Jin, and its own strength is the strongest among the three countries. No matter how the war between Hou Jin and Da Zhou started, Da Qin could not be bypassed.
And will Da Qin be that oriole that catches cicadas?
No one knows about this matter.
However, we have to guard against it!
Thinking of this, Ji Ziyue's eyes brightened slightly.
"You mean that Hou Jin won't go south in a big way in order to avoid Da Qin's sneak attack?"
After Yang Dong pondered for a moment, he nodded slightly and said:
"Yes, Da Qin's restraint also affected the number of Hou Jin's cavalry from the south. But how can Da Zhou place its hopes on other countries? If the two countries have already discussed how to carve up Da Zhou , so what?"
Ji Ziyue frowned, and a look of solemnity flashed in her eyes.
"The current emperor of the Qin Dynasty has long passed the age of kingship and hegemony. I heard that he seems to be obsessed with seeking immortality and medicine recently. He wants to live forever and become the king of all generations!"
Hearing this, Yang Dong's expression flashed slightly unnaturally.
Together with his cheap father, he is somewhat similar to the Emperor Qin in the previous life.
After all, the eternal emperor was also obsessed with seeking immortality and medicine to achieve immortality in his later years.
On the other side, Ji Ziyue naturally didn't know what Yang Dong was thinking at the moment.
She frowned, thought for a long time, and then slowly said:
"But the Emperor of Qin, although he no longer has the desire for land, he will definitely not let go of the fat meat that comes to his mouth."
Speaking of this, a cold look flashed in her eyes.
"Back then, my father and the Emperor of Qin were brothers and had a very harmonious relationship. But unexpectedly, my father had just passed away, and Da Qin came back to ask for the coins."
"This imperial family is truly the most ruthless!"
Hearing such emotion, Yang Dong couldn't help but cough dryly.
You say this as if you are not from an imperial family.
Not only do you come from an imperial family, you are also a true emperor!
"So your Majesty thinks that Hou Jin has already negotiated the distribution of interests with Da Qin. Is that why the Qin army withdrew from Guyu Pass?"
The empress nodded slightly and continued:
"If you think about this Youzhou horse farm, Da Qin will not let Hou Jin take it easily. It's just that now, the time has not come yet."
Yang Dong pondered for a moment, and suddenly felt a spiritual light flashing past his eyes.
Guyuguan, Youzhou Horse Farm, Great Qin Army...
Is there anything we can exploit in this?
Seeing that Yang Dong was deep in thought and silent, the empress thought that he was also worried, so she spoke to comfort him:
"If the Hou Jin Cavalry really goes south, take Siyu with you and take refuge south."
"I can leave an imperial edict to make your child the prince."
As soon as these words came out, Yang Dong was stunned. He stared at the empress and said with astonishment:
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Isn't Ji Siyu your sister? How could I..."
"Since I was born into an imperial family, how can I be like an ordinary family? In the face of the inheritance of the Ji family, these are not important."
Speaking of this, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Ji Ziyue's cheek.
"And in this matter, you are clearly taking advantage of me, right?"
"Xiao Dongzi, don't act like a good boy to get an advantage, do you understand?"
Yang Dong perked up, looking at the empress' half-smiling eyes, a flash of panic flashed in her eyes.
Damn it, is it possible that Yourong already knows about his secret eating?
That's not right. With Yourong's character, I'm afraid he would just kill himself... Maybe for the sake of the young master being of some use, spare a dog's life?
What does this smile mean? !
Yang Dong was a little panicked in his heart, but on the surface he looked upright and awe-inspiring.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this. If your Majesty wants to defend the capital, I will also defend here."
"Besides, the world is still uncertain, and we still don't know who the dark horse is!"
The world is undecided, is the dark horse still unknown?
The empress murmured to herself, and a brilliant light suddenly flashed in her majestic phoenix eyes.
"In that case, I would like to have a fight with the Houjin Iron Cavalry."
"Xiao Dongzi, how is the education going for the scholars at Lanxiang Academy?"
"Everything is under control."
Yang Dong had just asked, so he answered directly.
"You have done a good job in this matter, and I should reward you. But now is the troubled time, so I will first record the credit for you."
"Xiao Dongzi, according to the latest report from spies, a large amount of military rations have been stockpiled in Guyu Pass. I'm afraid Hou Jin's cavalry will go south in the near future."
"It only takes ten days from Guyuguan to the capital. This national war will probably happen much earlier than I expected."
Some people died, but not completely...
