Qingqiu is difficult

When the sun shines in, Hu Ruan is practicing his sword in the yard. When he is depressed, he practices his sword; when he is overjoyed, he practices his sword; when he is bored, he practices his sword. Maybe my whole life has been wasted like this, I don't know for sure. In short, there is nothing more satisfying than understanding a sword manual!
That kind of ecstatic sense of accomplishment is not something that ordinary people can relate to, but Zhou is different.

He rarely met Zhou in the palace, so he often bribed the maids who bought him to take him out. In the woods outside the palace, he made an appointment for a week, and instead of having a fun competition, he reluctantly went back until it was getting dark and the palace door was about to be locked.

Even though Zhou couldn't speak, he recognized Zhou as his first confidant in his life.

When practicing swordsmanship, he will not worry about who he is, let alone the chaos around him. He only feels that he has entered the realm of the universe. Above the space, in the endless emptiness, there are endless wonderful ideas, like dew. Just like electricity, it interprets eternity in an instant.

Yanyu's body was getting stronger day by day. When Tu Shansong was reading official documents in the palace, she was playing with mud. Even though she got it all over the ground, her muddy handprints were all on the curtains and brocade robes. Tu Shansong Not annoyed either.

A soldier came forward in a hurry, carrying a flag on his back. It was three military flags. This is an important task in the army.

Tu Shansong frowned, not a single thing was missing.

He closed the official document and looked at the people below. Such soldiers would not easily enter the palace, let alone come directly to see the clan leader.

"You want to say that it was Luo Shang who personally led the troops when Chu was coming?"

"Yes, clan leader." The soldiers presented the military documents. Qingqiu's military defense was stationed in the Yue Kingdom. Just because Qingqiu controlled the food lifeline of the Yue Kingdom, the Yue Kingdom and Qingqiu had been on good terms for generations.

But talking about making good friends, whether it is because of in-laws or food, is not a long-term solution, and it is just empty words. Tu Shansong knew clearly that the reason why the Yue Kingdom was willing to tolerate everything was entirely because of Yue Jun Nasen. He had killed all the royal family of the Jing Kingdom, and there were only a few defeated soldiers left, which were not worth mentioning at all. Without Jingren, how could Jingguo's centuries-old culture be understood and changed overnight?

He was unable to secure his position, and years of war had long damaged the foundation of the people. Jingguo had been poor and weak all year round. Not to mention wars, even small frictions in some areas were enough to eat him up.

This is not to mention the former ministers of the Yue Kingdom who were not optimistic about his administration.

If the Chu State wants to attack Qingqiu, it must borrow a road from the Yue State, and the Yue State will also borrow it. After all, even if the Chu State destroyed Qingqiu and strengthened its own power, it would still be beyond its reach and unable to truly control Qingqiu. As a neighboring country, Yue Kingdom can take advantage of this to make a meal of fat.

To put it bluntly, even if Qingqiu is annexed by luck, it will not pose a threat to the Moon Kingdom. The Moon Kingdom is vast and the soldiers of the Moon Kingdom are brave and good at fighting. No country can defeat it easily.

Tu Shansong also knew clearly that for the current plan, the Chu State and Qingqiu should join forces to attack the Yue State. As long as he weakened his strength before he could stand firm, he would not be afraid of him in the future. Now that we have enough troops, we can attack the two of them again. But he just doesn't want to achieve himself by sacrificing himself - to exchange for the so-called peace through an in-laws, for him, is like exchanging unhappiness for intangible happiness. Will he be happy in the future? , whether there will be peace is illusory, but there will definitely be no happiness in front of us, and there will definitely be no peace, but it is real.

What he cares more about is that he can live his life comfortably and freely. What's more, he also believes that he has the absolute ability to do so.

As for why he would rather marry the unknown woman with the child than Luo Shang, he has his own explanation - only the strongest have the capital to live freely and willfully.

He had been so bored for so many years that he wanted to get himself into trouble.

Tu Shansong put down the document, picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and asked: "How many troops did you bring?"

"One hundred thousand."

He smiled and said: "Not much. Just order fifty thousand and prepare to fight."

"Clan Chief, we in Qingqiu are not good at fighting. If we win with less than we have, there is always little hope! Chu State has great spells. It is not impossible for them to spread their beans and form an army."

Tu Shansong said: "Just do what I say."

The soldier did not dare to speak and had to retreat.

As soon as the soldiers left, Yanyu raised her head, looked at Tu Shansong and said:

"Daddy," she was not afraid of strangers at all. Ever since she learned that she could just call her daddy, she didn't waste a single day. "Do you want to win more with less? Chu State is far away from here. My aunt said that there will be losses in the long distance. , 100,000 when they left, I’m afraid that by the time we get to Qingqiu, we will only have 89,000 or 90,000 left.”

Tushan smiled and touched her head: "You are so young, but you know a lot about these wars."

"Of course I know," Xiao Yanyu said in a sweet voice, "Everyone in our village has a military background. My uncle is also a famous military wizard. The victorious Nasen and Yuejun you talk about are just His men were defeated. I have read the book written by my uncle, and what you are talking about is nothing more than pediatrics!"
