Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 440: Get Together

"Of course we are not attacking Tuyuhun, but we are taking this opportunity to force Tuyuhun to pay compensation. We are not directly recalling the Turks."

"What I mean is that the Turks can retreat a certain distance to distract them. If Tuyuhun wants to retreat, then we should advance and force Tuyuhun's army to be unable to leave and return to support them."

"Moreover, the sudden appearance of Tuyuhun on the territory of the Turks this time must mean that the Turks and Tuyuhun have reached some kind of alliance. The Turks are now at the end of their strength. If we target Tuyuhun, do you think Tuyuhun will easily agree?"

"If they don't agree, they will definitely come back to help. Then the Turks will definitely not be a match for Li Jiujun, which is equivalent to tearing apart their alliance in disguise."

"On the contrary, if Tuyuhun agrees, then the compensation will definitely not come from Tuyuhun itself, but from the Turks, which will weaken the Turks' strength in disguise. The Turks, who are already at the end of their strength, will take a longer time to recover after being blackmailed like this. Moreover, neither the Turks nor Tuyuhun are good people. When the crisis is resolved, I'm afraid there will be a lot of open and covert fighting between them."

"In short, no matter which aspect you look at, we can force the alliance between the Turks and Tuyuhun to not last long, and we can also make a profit from it."

Fang Qiao’s idea was indeed good, and many people nodded repeatedly after hearing it.

However, Emperor Zhaowu still asked with some concern, "What if Tuyuhun is unwilling? What if they are sure that we will not fight on two fronts? What then?"

After these words were spoken, many people frowned again.

"If that's the case, then we can only attack Tuyuhun with all our strength and force them to give up the Turks."

"Of course, doing so will bring a considerable burden to our Yu Dynasty, but the benefits are also obvious. At least we can destroy the Turks."

At this point, Emperor Zhaowu also fell silent. He had to either pay more or return the money now. Although there was still profit to be made, it would be more troublesome in the future.

It would even force Tuyuhun and the Turks to form an offensive and defensive alliance, which would be very detrimental to his future plans of outward expansion.

After pondering for a long time, Emperor Zhaowu's face turned cold and he said, "If that's the case, then we should negotiate with Tuyuhun first. If we can't reach an agreement, we will attack Tuyuhun directly."

Afterwards, Emperor Zhaowu issued several imperial decrees in succession. First, he ordered the Ministry of Revenue to prepare food and fodder, then ordered the army from Xihu Pass to press on Tuyuhun, and at the same time dispatched 50,000 troops to support Li Jiu's army.

"This time, only one of the Turks and Tuyuhun can survive. It depends on what they choose."

With the issuance of the imperial edict, the Yu Dynasty began to operate again.

When hearing the news, Huo Junyao frowned.

"It's really not quiet at all."

After saying that, she got up and went to find her mother, asking her to arrange for someone to go to the capital to invite her elder sister, nephew, and her newly born niece to stay with her for a while.

Hearing her words, Princess Ningyang smiled and nodded without asking any further questions.

On the same day, he arranged for the nanny around him to go to the capital.

Princess Qingyang was a little stunned when she suddenly received the invitation. The nanny said it was Princess Zhaode's request. It seemed that she was thinking about her nephew and niece.

Hearing this, Princess Qingyang laughed and told her husband about it that night.

When Yongning Marquis Lu Tingfeng heard this, he thought it was no big deal at all, as it wasn't far away anyway, and since his sister-in-law missed the child, she could just go and stay there for a while. He didn't object and even said that he would go directly to the hot spring villa to visit them after his rest.

The next day, Princess Qingyang took her two children and three carriages out of the city to the Hot Spring Villa. When they arrived at the Hot Spring Villa, Huo Junyao directly held her little niece in her arms and teased her.

"It seems that my little sister really wants to have a child."

Hearing this, Huo Junyao smiled and said nothing more. She teased the child for a while and then said, "Big sister, can you stay with me for a while this time?"

"Okay, how about half a month?"

Huo Junyao shook her head and said, "Stay here for a month first."

As soon as she said this, Princess Ningyang frowned slightly, remembering the busy guards at the hot spring villa last night. She couldn't help but ask, "Yaoyao, is something going to happen?"

The people around were stunned by Princess Ningyang's question, and then they all looked at Huo Junyao.

"What could possibly happen? You're overthinking it. I just want to cherish this little baby a little more."

As she spoke, she kissed her little niece on the cheek.

Who doesn’t want a soft and cute little girl?

Seeing her like this, Princess Ningyang also smiled, thinking that she was indeed overthinking it. Although the Yu Dynasty was now facing troubles in the war, those things did not have much to do with people like them, and the court would make arrangements.

"My birthday is in three days. Many people will be back here by then. I have also made some future development plans. Big sister is one of the shareholders anyway, so we should discuss it together."

"That's a good feeling. To be honest, I have made a lot of money relying on my little sister over the years."

Princess Qingyang now loves her younger sister in every way.

It's not just because she makes a lot of money, but more because her younger sister cares about her as the eldest sister. Whenever she has something good, she always remembers to give her a portion, especially to her two children, whom her younger sister loves even more.

Princess Qingyang stayed in the hot spring villa. Three days later, the villa became lively and many people came from all over the country. At the same time, the largest restaurant in the hot spring villa also stopped operating to the public.

Huo Junyao directly arranged all the guests who came to attend the birthday party to the big restaurant.

At the same time, she sent a message to the palace yesterday, hoping that Emperor Zhaowu would come to attend the shareholders' meeting. She had a plan to propose for the future development of the hot spring villa.

However, Emperor Zhaowu was having a headache and did not agree. However, he arranged for Gao Fu to come and bring Prince Wenruo to attend on his behalf.

Before the birthday banquet even started, Huo Junyao invited all the shareholders to the luxurious private room on the top floor of the restaurant.

"Everyone, thank you very much for coming from afar to attend my birthday. Thank you all here."

Hearing this, everyone stood up and bowed, saying, "You are too polite, Princess."

After some congratulations and politeness, Huo Junyao asked everyone to sit down. At this time, Hongxiu and others began to take out the business plan and distributed a copy to each shareholder.

"In the past few years, the development of Hot Spring Villa has been very good, but I believe everyone has also felt that the successors have gradually become weak. So when I decided to hold this birthday party, I thought that I would take advantage of this rare gathering to talk to Tianjia about some future plans for Hot Spring Villa. Now, here is the plan I wrote for you. Please take a look at it first. If there is anything you don’t understand, I will explain it to you one by one later."
