The withdrawal of the Northern Hebei Army under Zhang Ping's command was really a great joy.
The old protector immediately wrote a letter and quickly sent it to the capital to report to the prince.
After Zhou Gu thought about it, he said to the old protector of the country: "Grandfather, you and your eldest brother will go back with one hundred thousand soldiers and horses from Beijing. Let the third brother and I take two hundred thousand soldiers and horses to the border."
The old Protector looked at him.
"Xiao Qi and I suspect that Zhang Ping is colluding with the Wei Dynasty. When Zhang Ping launches an army, the Wei Dynasty will definitely mobilize troops and horses. The Da Wei Dynasty will definitely not wait for Zhang Ping to succeed before launching troops. What the Wei Dynasty is waiting for is the civil war in Daliang. When we get up, we will mobilize troops. Therefore, we rush to the border. If we can deter Wei, it is best not to dare to mobilize troops. If we cannot, we can also block Wei's cavalry." Zhou Gudao.
The old Protector stroking his beard nodded, "It's possible, and that's the reason."
He looked at Zhou Gu, he was such a good grandson, it was a pity that he would not stay with him.
He waved to Zhou Gu, "Let Zhou Wei go and Xing Ze go too. You all go and I will lead the troops back."
He is an old man, but he can still lead a hundred thousand soldiers and horses. When he returns to the capital, he just needs to go slowly. There are military doctors in the army.
Zhou Wei also nodded immediately, "Grandpa said yes, I must go."
He is the eldest son of the Protectorate, so there is no reason why his younger brothers should stand in front of him every time. If this continues, he will be depressed to death. As the prince, he will not have the slightest chance to work.
"Okay!" Zhou Gu glanced at his eldest brother.
So, that day, 200,000 Northern Hebei troops broke out of camp and prepared to set off for the border.
The old protector of the country was in front of the tent, watching the troops and horses approaching. Zhou Gu accompanied him and said to him: "Grandpa, no matter whether the Wei Dynasty sends troops or not, this time I will go to the border and deal with the matter." It’s Nanchu.”
The old Protector turned his head and glanced at him. It was rare for the grandfather and grandson to speak kindly and said, "Go."
Zhou Guxiao said, "Grandpa, please don't be too reluctant to part with me. You are strong and strong. Live a few more years. When Xiaoqi wins that position, I will take you and my grandmother to live in Nanchu."
The old Protector glared, "Not only did you abandon your home and business, but you also kidnapped me and your grandmother? What are you talking about!"
Zhou Gu clicked his tongue, approached him and asked, "You don't want to go, that's fine, my grandmother and mother will definitely be happy to go."
The old Protector laughed angrily, "You've been angry with me all day long. What can't you do? I can't bear to raise you so big that you become someone else's, you piece of shit."
Zhou Gu had never heard a good word from him, and eight out of ten times, he was scolded. Anyway, he was used to scolding, and he could understand that this was his grandfather's special way of loving him. After all, several grandchildren, he Just scold him.
He must be the only one who can accept this exclusive favor!
He was speechless for a moment, "The prince didn't want to leave me, so don't be angry. It's not a big deal. When you go back, tell my grandmother and my mother not to worry about me. Xiao Qi couldn't bear to leave me. It was too painful for her, and she softened her heart." The most important thing is that I will live a good life with her in the future. She even canceled her marriage to Ye Guixue in Ye Xiangfu, and she will never wrong me in the future."
After saying this, the old Protector blew his beard again, "You are my grandson, not my granddaughter."
What grievance is not wronged, as if he is marrying his grandson.
Zhou Gu chuckled, "That's what it means anyway."
"Go away!" The old Protector waved his hand, disgusted with him, "Always write letters to your grandmother and your mother, so that they don't miss you."
He couldn't bear the fact that his old wife's eyes would turn red when she mentioned this boy, and she would wipe her eyes and cry, and she had to be coaxed.
Zhou Gu nodded, turned around, looked at the old Protector, stretched out his arms and hugged him, "Grandpa, take care."
The old Protector choked up, almost losing his strength and his eyes turned red, "Go, go, go!"
Zhou Gu hugged him for a while, then got on his horse and rolled away.
The old Protector watched the 200,000 soldiers and horses set off to leave, and the smoke and dust soon disappeared. He watched for a long time before sighing deeply.
The soldier asked at the side: "Old Duke, shall we set off now?"
"We? There's no rush." The old Protector shook his head, "We'll leave after I send a letter to Su Rong and ask the little girl to come see me."
He didn't bother looking for her because he was an old man. Anyway, let her find her little arms and legs. He had something he wanted to say to her.
After all, she had already given her grandson a marriage contract. This matter could no longer be trivial. Now that she had made an engagement, she could no longer break it. His grandson had abandoned the path he had paved since he was a child. She had accepted him. Yes, you have to treat it well in the future. But he is not interested in having three wives and four concubines. He is imitating those men. No, he was wrong. He is not interested in three palaces and six courtyards. She is the future Queen of Nanchu and cannot be interested in this matter. Otherwise, she will blame his grandson for treating her like this. Jin'er, if she dares to do that, his grandson will go crazy.
It’s not that he is planning ahead and worrying too early about things that haven’t happened. In fact, rights are the same for men and women. The king who stands at the top can secure the throne not only by love and love, but also by balancing the interests of each family. Power must be intricately connected to control the government and the public. Many emperors have used the method of filling the harem to save worry and effort. Even the King of Southern Chu and the major families sent people to his harem, he did not refuse. Although he did not enter the harem, there were many in the three palaces and six courtyards.
Of course, the King of Nanchu is different from other emperors. He must have other methods. Even if he does not enter the harem and do not favor his concubines, he can still stabilize the situation of the court. Otherwise, Nanchu will not be stable for so many years. But overall, there is no Get rid of women in the harem.
And he didn't force Su Rong, he just wanted to hear what her plans were for Nan Chu and Zhou Gu if she became king. When he meets Su Rong, he can really feel at ease.
Zhou Gu left without knowing that his grandfather had this plan. No matter how smart he was, he would never have thought of this. After all, Su Rong hasn't gone to Nanchu yet, so it will take a lot of effort to sit in that position. Now he only has a guaranteed marriage contract and hasn't gotten married yet. It's too early to think about this.
Su Rong didn't know that the old Protector had planned ahead for her grandson to the point of caring about her future harem. She was waiting for news about Zhang Yun while she was on her way.
It was not in vain for her to wait. The day after the 150,000 troops and horses she brought arrived at Longxi County, she received a letter from Zhang Yun.
Zhang Yun said in the letter that he had lived up to his expectations. Zhang Ping was dead. He had taken over the 250,000-strong Northern Hebei Army and had turned back. He would join her in Longxi County in the near future.
Su Rong smiled, "As expected of Zhang Yun."
Fei Ling came up to her and took a look at the contents of the letter, then nodded repeatedly, "Mr. Zhang is really a character."
He really did what he said, without losing any blood.
Su Rong estimated the time and told Fengling, "In five days, kill the sheep and cows and hold a banquet for him."
Fengling agreed happily, "Okay."
Monthly ticket, okay?
