The regent's spoiled princess wakes up

Chapter 207 Not Enough Gold?
The Hancang Army led by Lu Jing regained control of a large area of ​​the northern border and stationed a large army on the outskirts of Yucheng, while Mao Hu led the Habayashi Guards and Huxiao Guards to station in Yucheng City.

After Dong Duo led the Beiliang court to surrender to Yang Xuan, Zhao Shuang and Yang Xuan lived in the palace of Beiliang Kingdom, discussing the next plan while repairing the army.

What Yang Xuan meant was to withdraw troops directly like last time.Now that the Northern Liang Kingdom has no leader, let them fight among themselves, and they will no longer be a threat to the Great Zhou in the short term.

Zhao Shuang felt that Beiliang could not be allowed to continue in chaos. If someone like Xiao Yan appeared like it did back then, it would be trouble for Da Zhou again in the future.It is best to merge the Northern Liang Kingdom into the Great Zhou, and become a vassal state subject to the Great Zhou like the small countries in the south.

However, Beiliang Kingdom has a vast territory, equal to that of Great Zhou, and its people are tough, so it is not easy for them to surrender.

"You have also seen the current situation in Beiliang." Yang Xuan leaned on the soft couch and was reading a book in northern language, "Xiao Yan did not leave any children. There is no one who can succeed the throne, and Dong Duo and Wu Ke are bound to fight to the death for the throne. Why should we get involved in their disputes?"

"Dongduo and Wuke are both military generals. In the future, the country will be established by force. How can you rest easy?" Zhao Shuang was wearing a crimson northern riding outfit, showing a more heroic appearance.

"Don't worry, after this battle, Beiliang's vitality has been severely damaged," Yang Xuan read while eating the melons and fruits on the table. If we strictly guard against the expansion of the army, there will be no problems in the northern border."

"What if it happens again like before, and the Northern Liang Kingdom comes back ten years later and marches south again, what should we do?" Zhao Shuang walked to the window and looked at the courtyard downstairs. Habayashi Wei.

"For thousands of years, my Great Zhou and the Northern Territory have been like this. You come and go, don't you all come here too?" Yang Xuan said disapprovingly while eating the sweet melons and fruits, "Why worry about what will happen after so long?"

Today he was wearing a black gold-edged round-neck brocade robe. He had just shaved off his stubble, and he became white and clean again. His hair was also neatly combed, giving him a luxurious and leisurely look.

What Yang Xuan meant was that in the past, the Northern Liang Kingdom and the Great Zhou Kingdom fought constantly, fighting back and forth, as long as they didn't threaten Shangjing, there was no need to worry about it.

The two were talking when they suddenly heard a rustling sound at the door.

"Who is it?" the man in black clothes asked.

"It's...it's me, Becha." An old Chinese with a northern accent came through.

Becha?Why did he come to Yucheng?

"Come in!" Yang Xuan glanced at Zhao Shuang, who was also puzzled.

"I have seen the prince!" The little old man dragged a black-haired boy in, with a smile on his face, and bowed his hands to the two of them, "Congratulations to the prince for winning the flag..."

"Don't talk nonsense," Yang Xuan looked at him impatiently and asked, "But do you think I didn't give you enough gold?"

"No, no!" Becha rolled his eyes, and then glanced at the boy next to him.

Abu shyly moved forward a few steps, pulled Becha again and said, "Becha... foster father! Let's forget it."

Zhao Shuang realized that this person came to him to fulfill his promise, right?
Back then, Zhao Shuang asked him and Zhang Ruixue to steal the Horn of Lihun, promising to give him all the treasures in this house, but he failed to steal the horn of Lihun, right?Didn't he escape from the city after being discovered by Xiao Yan?

"My lord, now Wu Ke is leading an army back to Beiliang. When he comes back, the camp led by Dong Duo will inevitably fight for the throne..." Bei looked at the man sitting above, bowed his head and clasped his hands, "How about... Choose an obedient young man from the royal court of Beiliang, and support him to succeed to the throne, which will not only avoid the current disputes, but also be justified."

"The two camps in Beiliang are fighting, what does it have to do with this king?" Yang Xuan put down the scroll in his hand, and looked at the blond old man strangely, "Besides, even if this king wants to find someone from the royal court to support him, Now that the Northern Liang royal court is dying, we have to go to the branch to find candidates of the same age, I'm afraid that when the time comes... the forces in the northern border will still be dissatisfied."

Yang Xuan thought, when the two forces in Beiliang fight, he will just return to Shangjing, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, let them fight.

"My lord's words are wrong." Bei Cha bowed and cupped his hands and said, "If Wu Ke and Dong Duo fight, they will naturally have no time to take care of Da Zhou at the moment, and it will also weaken the strength of Beiliang. But five or ten years What about after 15 years or [-] years? Whether it is Wuke or Dongduo who has secured the throne, these two people are warriors of our Northern Liang Kingdom, keen on fighting. They must step up military training in the past ten years and try their best to avenge their hatred. On the contrary , Great Zhou has been at ease for too long, just like this time... Most of the Habayashi Guards and Tiger Guards have never left the vicinity of Shangjing. The prince can't always keep an eye on the northern border. How will the Great Zhou resist our Northern Territory ten years later? Iron cavalry from Liang country?"

Becha's thoughts coincided with Zhao Shuang's.

This time, most of the Habayashi Guards and Hu Xiao Guards came to the northern border for the first time, and they suffered heavy losses every time they encountered the cavalry of the Northern Liang Kingdom.

If the Northern Liang Kingdom invades the south again ten years later, when Yang Xuan is old, who in the Great Zhou Dynasty can resist the attack of the Northern Liang cavalry?
"I think so too," Zhao Shuang nodded in agreement, "Whether it's Wuke or Dongduo, they are surrendering ministers at the moment, so they are naturally obedient, and they may not be sure in the future. Has the prince forgotten how weak and how weak the new emperor of Beiliang was at the beginning? How did you raise tens of thousands of soldiers and horses after ten years?"

People in the northern border are brave and good at fighting, and whenever they have spare energy, they think about invading south and expanding the territory of the ranch.

"Isn't that simple?" Yang Xuan narrowed her eyes and glanced at Becha and Abu. The two suddenly came looking for her. If it wasn't for extorting money, there must be something bigger. What is it? "You think Wuke and Dongduo are not good, why don't you just kill them both?"

"My lord!" Becha hurriedly shook his head to persuade, "Wu Ke and Dong Duo are not the only warriors in our Northern Liang Kingdom? Even if you kill them all now, ten years later, a new batch of warriors will come again." grown up!"

Hatred will also grow up with it, and even become deeply rooted, and it is out of control in people's hearts.This is why Yang Xuan has always been cautious on the issue of killing prisoners.

"Then what do you say?" The man in Xuanyi picked up the northern border book again impatiently, and flipped through two pages at random, "There has been no male born in the royal family of Beiliang for many years, and this king can't change into a new one out of thin air The king is chosen."

"I have someone to choose." Becha's heart was pounding with excitement.He has been waiting for more than ten years, just waiting for Wang Ye's words.

"Oh?" Yang Xuan raised her eyes vigilantly, and saw the black-haired boy rolling his eyes nervously, sweating all over his head, suddenly seemed to be struck by lightning, and instantly understood something, "Bei Cha!"

"My lord!" The blond old man knelt heavily on the ground, and kowtowed three times to the man seated above, "Becha listens to my lord...he has been taking care of the young emperor and the queen mother for more than ten years!"
