"In my opinion, the four countries' alliance this time is probably to use the southwest as a breakthrough point. As long as the entire Great Zhou is forced to be dragged into the war, it will be difficult to support the southwest."
"As the weakest southwest border, as long as the war on their side is tight, if they don't want to be breached and become a breakthrough point for the four countries, and be driven in by them, then Da Zhou can only mobilize surrounding troops to support it."
"At that time, the strength of the nearest Southern Army and Western Army will be thinned. Not only will the pressure on Nanlin Kingdom and Nanman Army be much less, it may even be unable to fully cover them and be penetrated by the enemy."
"If it really comes to that point, Dazhou's situation will be even more critical."
Wu Zechen was also aware of Ino's analysis.
Therefore, his face has always been very grim: "The southwest is currently in chaos. In order to completely seize military power in the southwest, the Yue family has been stirring up trouble in the southwest. During this time, General Chu has been trying to collect evidence to break the situation."
"It's just that... the Yue family's position is stable, and it has the emperor's trust and attention. This is very unfavorable to General Chu's situation, so his progress has been very difficult."
Not only was it difficult, but it was always on the verge of life and death.
The emperor originally planned to let the Yue family completely take away the military power of the Chu family, and the Yue family was supported by the emperor. So how could the emperor choose to trust the Chu family, which was suppressed and weakened by himself, and instead doubt "one of his own" Yue family? ?
Therefore, it can be said that the current chaotic situation in the southwest, which has even become an opportunity and a breakthrough for the four countries to join forces, is all caused by the emperor himself!
The emperor wanted to take back the military power, but he didn't use the right method. Instead, he let the military power fall into the hands of people with ulterior motives.
Putting all the eggs in one basket and raising another Yue family who has full control of the military power, what good will it do to the emperor?
Even if the Yue family didn't do anything that betrayed their master secretly, it was just repeating the cycle of the Chu family.
Ino knew what Wu Zechen said. As the prince of Gudan Kingdom, he was carefully cultivated and raised. How could he not see this?
Ino couldn't help but sneered: "Brother-in-law, don't blame me for speaking too bluntly. This situation is all your own fault, the Emperor of Zhou. I didn't open my mouth to help Da Zhou because Da Zhou has this monarch."
"Such an ungrateful person, we Gudan don't want to be stabbed in the back just after helping."
"To tell you something that may make you unhappy, we don't want to suffer the same fate as Prince An's Mansion. Prince An is his biological brother and fights life and death for him, so he can do it. What's more, Not to mention it’s against us Gudan.”
After hearing this, Wu Zechen couldn't help but darken his eyes, thinking of those dark years in Prince An's Mansion.
But he didn't say anything after all, and he wasn't angry with Ino, because what Ino said was the truth.
"I see."
If it weren't for the people of Great Zhou and the country that his fathers fought for with their blood, he would have left long ago.
As for serving the emperor? That's a joke!
"So I told my brother-in-law directly today that the most we Gudan can do is not participate in the early stage. If the war reaches the later stage and the Great Zhou Dynasty is breached, then in order to prevent the Northern Barbarians from growing stronger, it may be difficult for us to ensure that we do not take action."
"This is also what my father meant." Ino said this, which finally revealed Wu Zechen.
After a pause, he turned his gaze to the inner room again, his expression softening instantly: "If it really comes to that point, we will take Tong'er back."
Wu Zechen followed Inuo's gaze, and his eyes were filled with tenderness: "If it really comes to such a bad situation, I will send Tong'er and the children to Gudan in advance. I hope you can protect her."
"Yes, she is our cherished little princess." Ino's tone was full of determination.
Luo Tong didn't know that while he was breastfeeding the child, two men outside had already made a certain decision for him.
The matter of confinement is particularly important for women, not to mention people like Luo Tong who have suffered a lot since childhood, but they all rely on confinement to heal themselves.
Therefore, Luo Tong, like all women, lived her confinement in her own room honestly. However, with a pair of children by her side, and the company of Wu Zechen, Yi Nuo, Baihua Gu and others, she lived a very fulfilling and warm life. .
Wu Zechen still has endless things to do, but he always eats with Luo Tong and spends time with his two children every day.
Even Inuo had a lot of things to deal with. In order to make it easier for Inuo to do things, Luo Tong specially picked the nearest yard next to Shaoguang Pavilion and left it completely to Inuo to take care of. Only Inuo took care of it. People who come.
If he had to wait for Duomeng and others to talk or work, he would stay in that courtyard. When he had a rest at night, he would return to Shaoguang Pavilion and live next door to the main house, where Luo Tong once lived. room.
Ino had no objection to this arrangement, and he also knew that this was the safest way.
Because something happened when he first arrived in the capital, which made him even more vigilant.
On the first night of Ino's arrival in Beijing, because he had been busy all day, it was already getting late when the imperial edict of canonization came down, so Ino did not move into Prince An's Mansion with much fanfare. He just took some of his belongings and moved in first. After entering Shaoguang Pavilion, I just wanted to wait until the next day to move here completely.
But that night, something happened at Gudanguo Inn, and an assassin was sneaked into the room where Ino was supposed to be staying.
Naturally, the assassin didn't find his target, so he tried to search other rooms. However, he was discovered by people from Gudan's mission and had a fierce battle.
There was a lot of commotion that night, and many people got the news. However, the matter was of great importance, so it did not spread.
That night, Wu Zechen and Yi Nuo's personnel began to investigate the matter, and there were clues the next day.
"Not from the Zhou Dynasty?" Luo Tong frowned.
An assassin appeared in the inn where Yi Nuo was supposed to stay. She was very concerned after learning about it and worried about Yi Nuo's safety, so she even arranged for Wu Yongyuan to protect Yi Nuo personally in the past few days.
In order to reassure Luo Tong, Yi Nuo did not refuse. Knowing that her babysitter did not hear the conversation between her and Wu Zechen, he roughly told her the current situation and situation.
"...The current situation is like this, so this group of assassins are not from Dazhou, which is not surprising to us."
"You mean, these people may be assassins sent by Nanlin or Poland?" Luo Tong frowned and analyzed.
"If something happens to my cousin in the Great Zhou Dynasty, then as the only heir to the throne of Gu Dan, Gu Dan will definitely not give up. In this case, it is very likely that he will form an alliance with the four countries to jointly deal with the Great Zhou Dynasty."
