The three countries are very nuclear

Having said that, but as a complete daughter slave, how could it be possible for Lin Chao to walk into the hall to plead for mercy when he saw Lin Miao being punished to kneel down.

Saying I'm begging for mercy, actually...

"Nv Xun, it's almost done. A Miao also knows that she was wrong, so let her be spared this time."

Lin Chao showed the demeanor of the head of the family, waved his sleeves, and said with a calm expression on his face.

But Xun Cai didn't like him, and even gave him a cold look.

"My concubine has always been in charge of family affairs, so I don't bother my husband." Xun Cai sneered, "Besides, if it wasn't for my husband's doting and doting all these years, why would A Miao be so arrogant..."

Now Xun Cai recounted what Lin Miao did today, and her anger could be heard from her tone.

Lin Chao felt ashamed, and was afraid that Xun Cai would clean up with him, so he didn't dare to intercede anymore, so he gave his daughter outside a self-seeking look, and then ran away.

Seeing this, Lin Miao couldn't help feeling sad, wanting to cry but not crying.

I knew my father was unreliable, but I didn't expect him to be so outrageous!
Fortunately, after Lin Chao's unreliable father ran away, the real rescuer, Uncle Fu, came to the courtyard.Seeing Lin Miao kneeling on the ground, she couldn't bear it on the spot, and begged Xun Cai to forgive her this time.

Xun Cai had to give Uncle Fu's face, so Lin Miao finally regained her freedom after being punished to kneel for more than an hour.

……

During dinner, Lin Chao, who was out fishing, returned home on time.

His life has been like this for the past few years. Whenever he has free time, he goes fishing. Although he returns empty-handed most of the time, he enjoys this kind of life very much.

The three children didn't stop at the dinner table, making a lot of noise.

Xun Cai was naturally dissatisfied with this disregard of etiquette, but she couldn't stand Wang Yuan, Zhen Jiang, and Chen Qian, three childless women, so she, a woman with two children, couldn't say much.

In the past seven years, except for Xun Cai who gave birth to Lin Miao and Lin Yi, none of the three daughters came out.

For this result, Lin Chao had psychological expectations.

My own body has been weak and sick since childhood, even if the hidden disease is cured, the chance of giving birth is not high.Coupled with these years getting older, the interest in intercourse has gradually weakened, so it is not surprising that he has nothing to show.

As for why Liu Chan is here...

In the third year of Lin Chao's retirement, Liu Bei wrote a letter to Lin Chao, telling Lin Chao that the treasuries of the four prefectures under his rule were already full, and it was time to give him another vote.

The implication is to tell Lin Chao that it's time for you to come back to work.

Regarding Liu Bei's recruitment, Lin Chao's reply was only eight words - hold on to the other waves, once and for all.

Liu Bei may not understand the first four words, but the meaning of the last four words is very obvious, which is to tell Liu Bei that it is not time yet, so continue to hang on and develop another wave.

Liu Bei, who failed to invite Lin Chao back, gritted his teeth and sent his son over.

Anyway, Zichu, you have nothing to do now, so help me take care of my son.

Therefore, Liu Chan stayed in Anxi and became Lin Miao's punching bag ever since.

After dinner, Lin Chao was sitting in the study quietly reading a book, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Dian Wei pushed the door open and entered, followed by Xin Pi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

When Lin Chao lived in seclusion seven years ago, he followed Lu Su's suggestion and planted a nail in Yuyang County in the hinterland of Youzhou.Let Lin Xi be the prefect of Yuyang, and at the same time raise horses and train troops there.

But in fact, the horse administration of the Lin Dynasty is distributed in two places, a small part is in Yuyang, and Lin Xi is in charge.A large part is in the Hetao area, and Gao Shun is in charge.

Although Yuyang was only a marginal place, Lin Chao still felt a little worried about Lin Xi alone, so he sent Jia Xu to assist him, and at the same time sent Simpi to lead Jin Yiwei to infiltrate Youzhou, passing news between the two places and Tan County.

Lin Chao waved his hand to Sim Pi and said with a smile, "George is here, please sit down."

Xin Pi bowed his hands to Lin Chao and sat down on the lower left.

"Jun Ming, please wait outside and don't allow anyone to approach."

Seeing Xin Pi's solemn expression, Lin Chao knew that something had happened, so he said to Dian Wei.

"only!"

Dian Wei backed out with a fist in his arms, and closed the door smoothly.

Only then did Lin Chao smile at Xin Pi and said, "Tell me, what happened?"

As the largest prince in the world, other princes did not dare to act rashly during Liu Bei's dormant seven years, so the world is in a relatively peaceful period, and there are few large-scale wars.

So Lin Chao was a little curious, what could make Simpi walk in such a hurry.

"Your Majesty, there is a letter from Tan County, Your Majesty invites you to go back." Simpi clasped his hands.

Hearing this, Lin Chao shook his head and smiled, "Just for this?"

In fact, starting from the third year, Liu Bei wrote a letter almost every year, asking Lin Chao to return to Tan County to take charge of the overall situation.

But every time Lin Chao politely rejected him, and even the reasons for the rejection were exactly the same, to hold on to the other side, once and for all.

But starting from the fifth year, not only Liu Bei sent a letter to recruit, but even the older officials in Xuzhou couldn't help it.

Lin Zichu, it was agreed that you would retire for a period of time. While letting go of the power in your hands, you will also let the ruler recuperate, and accumulate strength for the future conquest of the world.

But now that five years have passed, Xuzhou's treasury has already been abundant, and the world is in great order. It's time to do it!
If you don't do it...you can still carry it, but we are all getting old...

Among them are Xun You, Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Cui Yan and others. They are already over forty now, and they naturally want to unify the world in their lifetime, so they urged Lin Chao to return to Tan County as soon as possible.

As for the gang of arrogant soldiers, they couldn't bear it as early as the second year, and they went to the public to ask for orders, asking Liu Bei to recall the Lin Dynasty.

Regarding Liu Bei's recruitment, Lin Chao only responded with eight words, so he naturally ignored these people.

It wasn't until the sixth year when the military leaders Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao jointly signed a letter that Lin Chao paid attention to it, and then he replied with eight big characters...

The three who got the same answer as Liu Bei were dumbfounded, but they didn't continue to write.

Now that he received another letter from Tan County, Lin Chao was already used to it, and didn't think it was too important.

Unexpectedly, Simpi said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, this time is unusual."

"Oh, how unusual?"

Lin Chao asked with interest.

"Yuan Gonglu in Yuzhou has the heart to be king and usurper, so the king ordered his officials to come and recall the princes and marquises to discuss big plans together."

"What, Yuan Shu is crazy!"

Hearing this, even with Lin Chao's composure, he couldn't help being stunned.

What, the Huainan Skeleton King, that man who rides the dust on the highway, is about to become king!
Is there any mistake, has he never been beaten by society?
It's a real money detector strike - no bills.

Lin Chao didn't ask whether Simpi's source of information was reliable. After all, before this kind of thing was confirmed, the school affairs office would not dare to talk nonsense.

Faced with Yuan Shu's practice of having power in personnel affairs, not engaging in personnel affairs, and attempting to escape from the world, Anxihou Lin Zichu couldn't help but shoot the case, expressing great indignation.

Immediately, it fell silent again, and his face returned to the previous calm appearance.

That's enough, by tapping the table twice, I, Mr. Lin, have expressed my loyalty to the emperor who is far away in Chang'an.

However, Xinpi couldn't understand Lin Chao's actions, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty...Yuan Gonglu's rebellious and inhumane actions have angered His Majesty. If it weren't for the hard work of the officials to dissuade him, His Majesty would have sent troops to Yuzhou. So please The prince will return quickly, and preside over the important event!"

"Well, this matter... still needs to be discussed in the long run."

Xin Pi was puzzled and said: "Your Majesty, with our current military strength in Xuzhou, destroying Yuan Gonglu is like picking something out of a bag, why do you hesitate?"

"That being said, what happens after Yuan Gonglu is wiped out?" Lin Chao asked with a smile.

"after?"

Simpi was a little confused, he couldn't understand Lin Chao's meaning at all.

Wouldn't everyone be happy if Yuan Shu could be wiped out, and there would be no future.

Lin Chao sighed, shook his head and said, "This matter is not that simple. Since ancient times, fighting on two fronts has been a taboo for military strategists, so don't do it recklessly."

"Fighting on two fronts, Junhou means..."

Simpi suddenly seemed to think of something, and said in shock.

Lin Chao looked at Simpi, and said with a half-smile, "George wouldn't think that he just went fishing and sleeping all day for the past seven years, right?"

Is not it?
Although Simpi really wanted to say this, he didn't dare to say it after all, instead he cupped his hands and said, "Does the Lord want to take this opportunity to regain the land of Youzhou?"

"No, not only Youzhou!"

As Lin Chao said, he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it over.

Xin Pi looked at the signature on it, it was Gao Shun who had been raising horses and training troops in the Hetao area these years!
Strictly speaking, this is a return letter.

The general content is that after seven years of military training, Shun was lucky enough to live up to his fate, and now he has trained more than [-] elite cavalry, which can be used to conquer foreigners in the north!
In addition, Simpi also knew that Lin Xi had also trained nearly [-] cavalry in Yuyang County, which added up to exactly [-], which was considered to have met Lin Chao's expectations.

Lin Chao said again: "Besides, I have some good news for you. Zhang Yide and Brother Ling will return from Northern Xinjiang soon."

"Brother is coming back soon!"

Hearing this, Simpi showed a smile on his face, but immediately realized something was wrong.

Zhang Yide and his elder brother traveled far outside the Great Wall for nearly eight years, and now they finally chose to return to the south, presumably they have already got a good idea of ​​the information about the alien race in the north.In addition, the cavalry training is now complete...

"Does the lord want to send troops to the north?"

Simpi said in shock.

"good."

Lin Chao nodded.

Simpi sighed and said: "Attacking the Hulu in the north is a great achievement in opening up the territory, but using troops on such a large scale requires all the power of the four states. So, how should Yuan Gonglu deal with it?"

Hearing this, Lin Chao also showed a trace of helplessness on his face.

After seven years of preparation, the plan to attack the Hulu in the north has been put on the agenda. Even the Lin Dynasty has secretly ordered Gao Shun and Lin Xi to lead their troops to gradually gather at the border. They will recover Youzhou when Xuzhou's supplies and supplies arrive. Wield across the Great Wall.

But at the critical moment, Yuan Shu made a scene with a moth called the king, which made Lin Chao feel very troublesome.

As an imperial family, Liu Bei has always taken it as his duty to help the Han family. If he just sits and watches Yuan Shu arrogate himself as king and ignores it, he will lose the hearts of the world, and it is morally unjustifiable.

However, if they went south to fight Yuan Shu at this time, they would definitely have to use the strength of the four states, and once the war was stalemate, it might not be over in a year or so.At that time, Lin Dynasty's arrangements in the north will be ruined once again.

So no matter how you choose, Xuzhou will fall into a dilemma.

Facing Xin Pi's earnest eyes, Lin Chao thought for a long time, and finally said slowly: "A certain person has been deployed in Youzhou for several years, and he is about to succeed. Naturally, his hard work cannot be ruined at once... But Yuan Shu of Yuzhou dared to preside over and become king. You can't ignore it either."

Simpi hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Don't you want to fight on the north and south fronts? This is a big taboo for military strategists! I hope you will think twice!"

Lin Chao shook his head and said, "Don't worry, George, although I'm not good at military strategy, I also know that I can't face the enemy. It's just that this so-called best of both worlds method still needs me to go to Xuzhou."

Hearing this, a hint of excitement flashed in Xin Pi's eyes: "Oh, is the gentleman finally going to be an official again!"

"Of course it is necessary, but this matter is not in a hurry, we must deal with the matter in Youzhou before leaving." Lin Chao smiled, "George, tomorrow you will go back to Tan County first, and report to the king on behalf of someone. I ask him to rest the fury of the thunder, and don't use troops against Yuan Shu. Within a month, a certain person will set off to return to the south."

"As ordered!"

Simpi immediately stood up and clapped his hands in response.

Early the next morning, Xin Pi, who arrived late last night, embarked on a journey again, and set off to return to Tan County to report to Liu Bei.

It's just that before leaving, Xinpi had an extra letter from Lin Chao in his hand.

On Lin Chao's side, he also started a series of arrangements of his own.

First of all, Lin Chaoxiu wrote a letter, asking Dianwei to take it to Yunzhong County, Bingzhou, and hand it over to Gao Shun and Shenpei who were training soldiers here, ordering them to step up training soldiers.

Then he wrote another letter, asking Uncle Fu to rush to Yuyang County in person, and handing it over to Lin Xi and Jia Xu. The content of the letter was similar to the one given to Gao Shun, and he was also asked to train soldiers and horses urgently.

Originally, the Lin Dynasty planned to launch an offensive around June, marching northward while the weather was still warm, and conquering the Hulu.But now that something like Yuan Shu happened, Lin Chao's plan had to be launched ahead of schedule.

That's right, it is to start in advance.

The more urgent the situation in the south, the more urgent it is to send troops to the north.

The reason is very simple. Although the conquest of foreign races requires the efforts of the four states, the war can be ended in just a few months.

Because since ancient times, the alien races in the north have only grazing and plundered, not production.On the vast grassland and the Gobi, all the foreign races lived in tents and camped, and they never built a single city.

Without the barrier of the city, naturally there will be no protracted war. Once the two sides meet, it will be a real bloody battle, and the winner must be determined.

Therefore, conquest of foreign races has been a gamble since ancient times.

Win the young model in the clubhouse, lose to go to the sea to be a young model.

Just as Lin Chao was arranging everything in full swing, a middle-aged man rushed to Anxi County and knocked on the door of the Lin Mansion.

"Brother Yien!"

When Lin Chao saw the visitor, his eyes were full of surprise.

Zheng Yi, named Yi'en, was Zheng Xuan's only son, so Lin Chao called him junior brother.

At this moment, Zheng Yi was covered in dust from his fast journey, and looked quite tired.

But his eyes were full of sadness, which made Lin Chao's heart sink.

No, could it be the teacher...

Sure enough, Zheng Yi said slowly, "Senior Brother Zichu, my father is seriously ill and his life is in danger, I want to see you before he dies..."

"teacher!"

Lin Chao exclaimed, and the folding fan in his hand had already fallen to the ground.
