Chapter 744: The Sound of Drums and Horns Shows Its Sharp Edge (16)

Jiang Jiaquan was silent for a moment, looked up at Ye Jing'er's angry eyes, and then looked at Yan Shengxu, who was hesitant to speak. He coughed lightly and said: "Captain, Madam, now I am under the jurisdiction of Zhengdong Mansion. The land spans thousands of miles, the people are millions, the soldiers and horses are strong, and the country is strong in one place. Although it does not have the name of a country, it actually has the status of a country. Even those who are as powerful as the Qin Dynasty dare not think that I conquer Dongfu. "

Ye Jing'er said: "If you are so powerful in politics, why do you need to be threatened by an old man?"

Jiang Jiaquan smiled slightly, "Madam, what I just said is just an appearance of my Zhengdong Mansion. Although my Zhengdong Mansion seems to be powerful, it is actually full of dangers. In the east, although the Donghu people were defeated and injured, their strength is still there. I am a life-and-death enemy. There is no way for reconciliation between the two sides. The end will be the complete fall of one side. In the south, the court of the Yan Kingdom regards us as traitors. Tan Feng and Zhou Yu are sharpening their swords. At present, the war on the island > Novel www.zuzud It is about to break out. In the west, our army is deeply involved in the civil strife of Zhao. In order to fight to replace the county, we have to maintain a military presence wherever we go. Although we have guarded the Qin people's path to the west, guard Feng Fayong cannot be completely regarded as conquering the east. When the Zhengdong Mansion is going smoothly, he will naturally look after us, but once we encounter a great crisis, we still don’t know what he will do.”

After a pause, he looked at everyone in the study, "Our Eastern Expedition Army has never suffered a defeat since its inception. This is why we can develop to this day. But if we encounter a failure, everyone will push down the wall. Crisis will hit us. The foundation of the skyscraper built by the governor is still not very solid. If it is hit by wind and rain, it is in danger of being shaken by wind and rain. If we want to consolidate the foundation, we can only destroy Donghu in the east and occupy it in the south. Dayan will use this as a basis to further strive for the world."

Yan Shenghao nodded. Continuing Jiang Jiaquan's words, "Zhou Yuan saw this and saw that we have Kěnéng and are about to face the dilemma of fighting on two sides. According to the information from the Supervisory Council, Yan Ting has reached an agreement with Donghu, and Kumamoto will reorganize the 30,000 Zhao troops in Donghu. The prisoners of war formed an army and marched from Hetao. We roughly estimate that this team of prisoners of war can form an army of at least 20,000 people. They are already the standing army of Zhao State. Their combat effectiveness is very important. They have been trapped in Donghu for several years. Stronger than anyone else, now that they have this opportunity, they may burst out with strong fighting power. Furthermore, Kumamoto is worthy of our vigilance. "

"We are not afraid of this army. Even if Kumamoto is a general and commands this army to cooperate with Donghu to attack our Hetao, with the increasingly perfect defense system of the Hetao, we can still plunge the opponent into the quagmire. But in this way, the Hetao will inevitably It's going to be a mess, and among us, the Loop should become a strong support for our progress, not a burden on us. Zhou Yuan has become a key figure in this, and Kumamoto is his. Under his direct command, he will come forward to surrender Kumamoto, and the danger of Hetao will be solved, and we can add an army with good combat effectiveness. In fact, everyone has already seen the combat effectiveness of these armies. The three thousand defenders led by Chen Bin While defending Dubo, Luo Weiran led his troops to attack, first destroying Azizi, and then fighting Murong Kun, making great achievements in the Battle of Hetao. Nothing happened in Hetao, and we can concentrate on dealing with this attack by the Yan army. We only need to win again. Once upon a time, the situation of host and guest changed easily.”

The more Ye Jing'er listened, the worse she became. Among the three important ministers who came to the study,

Two people actually expressed their attitude. Although they didn't say it explicitly, they clearly stated that they agreed with this marriage. She couldn't help but look at Xun Xiu for help.

"Master Xun!" she shouted.

Xun Xiu avoided her eyes, but looked at Gao Yuan, "What the two councilors just said clearly stated the military benefits to Zhengdong Mansion, but there are more long-term implications for marrying the Zhou family. Based on the above considerations, Yan State politics has always been a troika, which used to be Linghu, Zhou Yuan, and Ning Zecheng." He turned and glanced at Ning Xin.

"Later, Linghu was replaced by Ye Xiang, and now, it is the King of Yan, Zhou Yu and Tan Feng!" King Yan brutally purged him, but he still couldn't be cleansed. There are still more people in the temporary dormant stage. Now that Vice President Ning has returned, it can be said that this force represented by Mr. Ning has belonged to our Zhengdong Mansion. , if we marry Zhou Yuan, or even if Zhou Yuan comes to surrender, the political blow to Jicheng will be even greater than the military concession. "

"Destroy Donghu first, and then take the territory of Yan. With the strength of the governor, he can directly force Qin and Zhao. The Qin people will destroy Han and Wei, and the governor can take Yan Qi for himself. The general trend of the world will be to re-divide the territory." Jiang Jiaquan's eyes were bright, "Good. With more management, we can expect to achieve dominance in a few decades.”

"So, everyone agrees to this marriage!" Gao Yuan muttered.

"No, I never agree. You two are discussing politics, Master Xun. My son is mine, and this is also our family matter." Ye Jing'er shouted, "Not only does the Zhou family have a deep hatred for Gao Yuan, but also the Ye family. Hai, how can I let my son marry the enemy’s daughter?”

Jiang Jiaquan stood up, raised his hands to Ye Jing'er and said: "Madam, although the governor has not yet established a country, he is actually the head of the country. Family affairs are state affairs. The young master is the eldest son of the governor and is the crown prince of the country. How can you be the only one like you, madam?" Since your son is the crown prince, he naturally has to share the country’s worries, and I agree with this.”

Yan Shenghao also stood up, "I also agree."

Xun Xiu stood up silently, "I also agree."

Seeing everyone speaking in unison, Ye Jing'er stood stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into tears, turned around and ran out of the study. Gao Yuan winked at Ning Xin, and Ning Xin immediately stood up and chased her out.

"Everyone, take a seat!" Gao Yuan smiled and shook his head, "Women, don't be offended by the three of you."

Jiang Jiaquan sat down with a smile, "Actually, the governor had already made up his mind, but he summoned the three of us and used our mouths to express this idea. Is he afraid that the grape vine at home will fall down again?"

As soon as these words came out, a burst of laughter suddenly broke out in the study. The last time Gao Yuan escaped from the house in embarrassment and ran to Shangguan Hong to inspect the training of the Young Guards, the joke about the fallen grape trellis was made in a limited time. It was passed around as a joke in the circle. These important ministers all knew Gao Yuan very well, and they were not afraid that he would suffer from hepatic control because of this. Gao Yuan followed his wife on small things, but he had his own ideas on big things. Extremely determined. But like this time, he talked about a strategy and let his group be the villains.

Gao Yuan laughed, "In order to prevent the grape vine from falling down, I can only let you take the blame. Don't blame me, don't blame me!"

Everyone laughed again.

"Let the matter be settled like this. I will ask Ning Xin to reply to Cao Tianci later. I agree to this marriage. When the war between us and the Yan Kingdom starts, let Tianci arrange for the Zhou family to come to Jishi City quietly. "Gao Yuan said: "Everyone, you originally wanted me to rest in Zhengdong Mansion for two or three years and build up my strength, but now it seems that our enemies are more anxious than us. They can't give us this time, so everyone Just grit your teeth, as long as you get through this, Zhengdong Mansion will be as stable as a rock."

Jiang Jiaquan smiled and said: "Everyone in the Zhengdong Mansion is of one heart and one mind, and everything is running smoothly. In my mind, I am already thinking about the name of the country that the governor will establish after he destroys Donghu and takes Jicheng!"

Gao Yuan laughed, "Think too far. Think too far!"

In the backyard of the Governor's Mansion, Ye Jing'er threw herself on the bed and cried bitterly. She really couldn't bear to let her son marry a woman from her enemy's family. Thinking of all the hardships she had experienced over the years, how many of them were related to the Zhou family? But all the important ministers of Zhengdong Mansion, including Gao Yuan, supported this matter, and she knew that there was nothing she could do to save her life.

"Jing'er." Someone was stroking her long hair gently. He turned his head and saw Ning Xin sitting by the bed, looking at her with pity.

"Sister Ning, why don't you speak for me?"

"How can I help you speak?" Ning Xin shook her head and said: "They are all right. Jing'er, you are still like a fairy daughter who does not eat the fireworks of the world. That is not possible. Jiang Yizheng is right, the governor Although a country has not yet been established, it has the reality of a country. As the eldest son, Xiao Gaoxing is the crown prince of a country. This kind of political marriage is a natural thing that benefits both parties. The Zhou family wants to use Xiao Xing's status to make a comeback. Found a huge backer, and Zhengdong Mansion wanted to use Zhou Yuan to solve the problems faced by Hetao, and use Zhou Yuan's power within the Yan Kingdom. Zhou Yuan served as the Taiwei of the Yan Kingdom for decades, and later because it was Zhou Yu who inherited All of these have suffered less damage, unlike my father's line, which was almost destroyed. This is also the reason why my father died but Zhou Yuan survived. If Zhou Yuan defected to Jicheng, the blow to Jicheng would be It would be fatal."

"I also know that I can't understand the outcome of the change. I'm just unwilling to accept it." Ye Jing'er sobbed.

"So what if you're not willing to give in?" Ning Xin shook her head and said, "Jing'er, you have to remember that Xiao Gaoxing is the eldest son, but the governor will not have his only son. Therefore, Xiao Gaoxing has to work hard even if he is still in his infancy. I have made contributions to the Zhengdong Mansion, so that these important ministers will remember it.”

"What do you mean?" Ye Jing'er suddenly became alert.

Ning Xin hesitated for a long time and then said: "Since I came back from Hetao, I haven't told you one thing, and the governor also asked me not to say it for the time being."

"What's the matter? Sister Ning, you want to hide it from me too?" Ye Jing'er looked at Ning Xin's expression and felt something was wrong.

"He Lanyan is pregnant." Ning Xin was shocked when she opened her mouth. "Doctor Qiu was ordered to go to Hetao a few days ago. He said he was going to inspect the medical staff there, but in fact he was going to protect He Xingyan's pregnancy. I'm afraid it won't be long before... There will be another happy event in Jishi City."

Ye Jing'er blinked her eyes for a long time, and suddenly slapped the edge of the bed hatefully, "If you have it, you have it, why do you still hide it from me? Am I such a narrow-minded person? If that was the case, why would I come to the door in person in the first place? Go tell him about this relationship? "

Ning Xin looked at Ye Jing'er and couldn't help but think of the joke about the grape trellis, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"Why are you laughing?" Ye Jing'er looked at Ning Xin and paused for a moment.
