    "Your Highness, how are you doing lately? Are you adapting to the bitter cold in the north?"

    A question made Murong Xiyue, who was really thinking about something, suddenly wake up. Seeing Zhao Xun appear behind her, she bowed and said: "It turns out to be His Highness King Zhao. Although the weather in Youzhou is colder than that in Luoyang, I still feel sad in my heart."  But it¡¯s even warmer. The old lady and the princess treat me well, and I feel very good here.¡±

    Then Murong Xiyue remembered the words of the old lady and several princesses, her face turned slightly red, and said: "Xiyue is no longer a homeless person, and is no longer a princess. His Highness Prince Zhao only needs to call Xiyue, princess."  Xiyue cannot bear the name of His Highness."

    Zhao Xun sighed secretly, full of pity for the seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl in front of him. At a young age, due to the chaos in the palace, his family was destroyed and he was exiled to other places.  Even though he stayed in Prince Zhao's Mansion, he was cautious in everything he did and never wanted to say too much.

    "In that case, I will call you Xiyue, and you don't need to be polite. Just treat Prince Zhao's Mansion as your own home. Listen"

    "Your Majesty, Xiyue"

    "Lian'er!" "Xiyue has met the princess!"

    Xu Qinlian quickly took Murong Xiyue's hand and said with a smile: "Xiyue, didn't I say, don't be so polite. From now on, we will be a family."

    Murong Xiyue's face turned red, she bowed to Zhao Xun and left in a hurry.

    "Lian'er has something to do with me?"

    "It's not about you and Xiyue! What? Are you blaming me for disturbing your good things?" Xu Qinlian said with a smile.

    "Me and Xiyue? What's going on?" Zhao Xun was puzzled.

    Xu Qinlian sighed and said, "Xiyue is already twenty-nine years old."

    "Eighteen years old, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"

    "He is Princess Dayan, and she has reached the age to marry. Not everyone can marry Princess Dayan. In this Zhao land, besides the prince, who else can marry Xiyue? Who else dares to marry Xiyue?  Yue? Because of the chaos in the palace, Xiyue is now cautious and lives in a corner of the palace, afraid to communicate with others. "

    Zhao Xun raised his eyebrows and said strangely: "No, you mean to let me marry Xiyue?"

    "It's not my concubine's intention, it's everyone's intention, what? You should be good if you get an advantage, right? My mother already knows about this and is already making arrangements. In addition, Xiyue also knows about it. According to Xiyue, in the past  You helped her in Luoyang, and she has a good impression of you." Xu Qinlian said with a smile.

    "No, why didn't anyone tell me about this?" Zhao Xun said anxiously.

    "The prince has been away at war for most of the year, how can he explain it in detail? Besides, this matter is a matter of the internal government. Mother said, let us make the decision ourselves. Okay, the prince will inform the Secretary of State for Affairs after seeing the news and let them make a decision  Get ready. This is a great thing and a great joy, let the people of Zhao have fun."

    "What? The prince doesn't want to? Does the prince want Xiyue to marry someone else?" Xu Qinlian asked with a smile.

    Zhao Xun was dumbfounded. Although he had no love for Murong Xiyue, he was naturally unwilling to let a beautiful woman like Murong Xiyue marry someone else.  After spending some time with Murong Xiyue, I felt a little bit of affection for her.

    The first snow of winter finally fell in Youzhou, but the entire Youzhou City was in a state of excitement.  The reason is because their benevolent lord, King Zhao, got married. King Zhao Xun married Princess Murong Xiyue of Dayan.

    Since the palace coup, Murong Xiyue fled to Youzhou and has been living in Prince Zhao's Mansion and living with Princess Zhao.  As Princess Dayan, although her family was killed, her identity as a princess still exists.  Therefore, no one dared to marry Murong Xiyue, who was still over twenty-nine years old.

    Zhao Xun was full of pity for Murong Xiyue. At a young age, he suffered the loss of his family and his family.  In Prince Zhao's Mansion, both the old lady and Princess Zhao were extremely concerned about Murong Xiyue.  Murong Xiyue also understood her situation and had a great liking for Zhao Xun. Therefore, with the help of the old lady and Princess Zhao, she married Zhao Xun in the name of a concubine.  Regarding these, the civil and military officials under Zhao Xun all agreed.  As a princess, it is extremely beneficial for Zhao Xun to absorb Yan officials and talents and rule newly attached places.

    The wedding ceremony that had been going on for a day was finally over. In the bridal chamber, the red candles were shining brightly, and the room was as warm as spring.  Zhao Xun took Murong Xiyue's white and tender little hands and led her to the carved gums, and the two sat down leaning against each other.

    Murong Xiyue raised her head shyly, her clear watery eyes reflected Zhao Xun's shadow, the beaded flowers on the phoenix crown trembled slightly, the beaded curtain beside her gums swung lightly, and the swaying candlelight reflected her delicate face.

    "No wonder everyone says that the bride is the most beautiful!" Zhao Xun's heartbeat seemed to stop for a moment.Then, he couldn't wait to stretch out his hands. Xiyue lowered her head slightly, and following his will, he took off the phoenix crown. The black hair coiled on top of her head hung down like a waterfall, making her snow-white pink neck looming.

    The youthfulness of the girl and the charm of the bride merged with Xiyue's body at this moment. Even though Zhao Xun was already familiar with her smile, he couldn't help but feel slightly absent-minded.

    "Your Majesty!" Xiyue saw Zhao Xun in a daze, her face flushed with shame, and she called softly, her voice like a spring breeze blowing a silver bell.

    "Xiyue, it's time to change your name!"

    "Husbandhusband!" Xiyue's face turned red and she whispered softly.

    ? **A moment is worth a thousand pieces of gold!  Xiyue's soft moaning voice suddenly made Zhao Xun unable to control it anymore.  So he slowly stretched out his hands, untied the Xiapei, and untied the new wedding dress. When only a thin layer of bellyband was left, the snow-white flat belly and the attractive shape of the green fruit on the chest were revealed.  .

    Zhao Xun couldn't help but lean down, burying his face in Xiyue's chest, greedily breathing in the girl's scent with the fragrance of virginity, feeling the contact of the tender skin, and listening to the girl's increasingly violent heartbeat.

    "Ah, husbandhusband" the girl moaned softly, her skin suddenly turning red like jade.

    Zhao Xun chuckled, pulled the quilt to cover their bodies, and took off their clothes and pants in three strokes.  He sucked hard on Xiyue's pink neck, and at the same time stretched his hand behind Xiyue, caressing the tender skin, slowly found the hateful rope, couldn't wait to untie it and pulled hard, the relationship between him and Xiyue  The last barrier was thrown away far away.

    Zhao Xun's touch and gentle licking made the evening moon float like a blue cloud, with its soul flying to the sky.  Her delicate body bounced like electricity, and breathtaking and suppressed moans came out of her mouth.  Zhao Xun even reached out and grabbed her thin trousers and stripped her into a naked little lamb.  The girl's legs were not so plump, but they were extremely tender and smooth. Zhao Xunmo's hands slowly slid, and the feeling was indescribably delicate. When it moved up between her legs, she felt a little wet.

    Gently spreading Xiyue's legs, Zhao Xun bent down and sucked her earlobe, whispering in her ear: "My husband is coming!"

    The confused Xiyue was already at a loss and just passively held his head in response.  Zhao Xun grabbed the girl's slippery snow hill and prepared to knock on it.  Finally, lift your waist and strike hard.

    "Ahit hurts" Xiyue cried out in pain, and her misty eyes couldn't help but shed tears.  Zhao Xun quickly kissed the tears at the corners of the girl's eyes and moved his hands on the girl's skin.  He knew that the pain was normal.  After a while, Xiyue's pain disappeared, and another indescribable feeling of comfort spread throughout her body. Suddenly, a seductive and imaginative sound sounded in the bridal chamber

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Zhao Xun was overjoyed, but Murong Cheng was furious.  Zhao Xun marrying Princess Dayan is definitely not a good thing for Murong Cheng.  What made him even more annoyed was that Zhao Xun didn't give them a word of explanation at all.  You must know that Murong Cheng is a clan member of the Dayan royal family. In terms of relationship, Murong Cheng is Murong Xiyue's closest relative.  Worryingly, Zhao Xun got married, but threw him aside without even a notice.

    Of course, Zhao Xun¡¯s wedding has nothing to do with him, and Murong Xiyue¡¯s marriage has nothing to do with him either.  However, the combination of Zhao Xun and Murong Xiyue had an impact on him.  Murong Xiyue is Princess Dayan and the daughter of the late emperor.  And Zhao Xun was another prince, the overlord of the north.  The combination of the two will have quite an impact.

    Not to mention, even under Murong Cheng's rule, many officials began to discuss this important matter.  Many officials who were deposed by Murong Cheng and Situ Lei in the past also began to move north to the north.  For them, surrendering to Zhao Xun was equivalent to surrendering to serve the late emperor.

    According to intelligence, even in Bingzhou, many of the former local officials who abandoned their posts because Zhao Xun came to attack came out to serve Zhao's army.

    "Our Qi army has been fighting hard for more than half a year, but in the end we got an advantage over Zhao Xun. Do you think, why did those old bastards not serve me, but instead took refuge in Zhao Xun? If I had known, I should have" Murong Cheng roared angrily.  road.

    Zhang Tu and others were speechless. It wasn¡¯t that they didn¡¯t understand the reason, but that they couldn¡¯t answer.  These people went north to Zhao land in the name of the princess's wedding. In addition to wanting to use their status as princesses to serve as officials under Zhao Xun, could it be because you don't need others?  Were these officials the ones you, Murong Cheng and Situ Lei, dismissed or belittled for refusing to surrender when you were in power?  If you don¡¯t use others, why don¡¯t you allow others to rely on others?

    "Zhang Tu, under my rule, can we provide the necessary supplies for our army to fight again next year? How long will it take for the army to complete preparations for the expedition?" Murong Cheng said gloomily.

    "Your Majesty, almost all our troops are participating in the war this year, first Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou in the north, then Yongzhou, Jiaozhou in the south, and Xizhou in the east, successivelyNearly one million soldiers were dispatched.  Our reserves in Qidi have been almost exhausted. Therefore, my subordinates suggested that we rest for a while and then discuss the northern expedition to Situ Lei.  "Zhang Tu said unhurriedly.

    Murong Cheng sneered and said: "You mean we give up the campaign to conquer Situ Lei? In this case, our hard-fought actions for more than half a year will be of no use. We are exhausted, but why is Situ Lei not the same? Apart from us, the Tang Army  , Xuzhou Army, Yanzhou Army and even Zhao Army, how long can Situ Lei last if the princes unite? Why don't we give Situ Lei a chance to rest? "

    Zhang Tu smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case. In the battle between the two parties, my subordinates also firmly believe that we, the righteous, will win in the end. However, when Situ Lei was unstoppable, he would rather give up the land under his jurisdiction to Zhao Xun.  Not us. Could it be that Situ Lei was unable to resist and gave it up in order to stabilize Zhao Xun? This time it was Bingzhou, but where would it be next time?  , but it didn't fall into our hands. In other words, the current situation is that we are fighting for Zhao Xun, so the gain outweighs the loss. "

    Murong Cheng¡¯s face hardened, and he obviously understood what Zhang Tu meant.  If you think about it carefully, the situation is really as shown in the picture.  Suddenly, I felt extremely aggrieved, and my face became even more ugly.

    "No, if we stop the conquest of Situ Lei, then all our hard work over the past year will be in vain. Not only that, we will never have such a good opportunity to completely wipe out Situ Lei. This time we occupy  Only with great righteousness can all the princes attack Situ Lei at the same time, so that the Xuzhou Army, Tang Army and Yanzhou Army can also be used by us. If the conquest is stopped, then these small princes will no longer obey our military orders, but will become  Our enemy."

    Zhang Tu said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, in the face of practical benefits, this so-called righteousness is not worth mentioning. Although we occupy the status of righteousness, we did not benefit from it, but were restrained. Although Zhao Xun is just a simple  He simply responded to us, but in fact he gained a huge advantage from the land of Bingzhou. Today, we, Zhao Jun and Situ Lei's Yong Army occupy 80% of the world. One side will be strong and the other will be weak.  The consequences are incalculable. Therefore, we should put practical benefits first and false reputation second.¡±

    "Then what do you think we should do? Just sit back and ignore it?" Murong Cheng said bitterly, "Zhao Xun occupied Bingzhou, and at the same time he was also seeking the Beisai land northwest of Bingzhou. In addition, he also attacked the Turks  , gain a great reputation. If you leave me indifferent, then you will gain nothing in terms of wealth or fame."

    Zhang Tu shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I don't want you to just focus on development. What I mean is that we don't need a full-scale war in the coming year. Nominally, we are now preparing for the conquest of Situ Lei in the coming year. In fact, we made a surprise attack.  , attack the Xuzhou Army or the Yanzhou Army, and as long as we defeat these two areas, we will have a new situation in Hebei."

    "In addition, Situ Lei must have been extremely unwilling to accept that Zhao Xun had seized Bingzhou from him. Isn't it because we had hundreds of thousands of troops besieging the two passes that the reason why we didn't counterattack at the beginning? What if Situ Lei found out that we didn't attack Yongzhou?  This means that Situ Lei must not be willing to let Bingzhou be captured by Zhao Xun."

    "If Situ Lei and Zhao Xun get into a dispute because of this, then we can benefit from it. Whether it is Zhao Xun's jurisdiction or Situ Lei's jurisdiction, we can take advantage of the situation to cut off a piece of it."

    "This" Murong Cheng hesitated, "This is a good idea, but once there is a sudden attack on the Xuzhou Army or the Yanzhou Army, all our reputation will be completely lost."

    Zhong Yan quickly said: "Your Majesty, my subordinates think that we don't need to worry about our reputation. We can attack Yongzhou tomorrow tomorrow and use the Xuzhou Army or the Yanzhou Army to raid Yangzhou as an excuse to attack one of them. We can even use inducements.  The remaining two parties among the Tang Army, Xuzhou Army and Yanzhou Army will not bear the infamy of taking the initiative to attack our allies. As long as we capture one of them, the remaining two parties will no longer be a problem. "

    Murong Cheng nodded slightly and said: "This is feasible! So, who do you think we should use as a breakthrough?"

    Zhang Tu and Zhong Yan looked at each other and said, "Xuzhou Army!"

    "Why Xuzhou? Yanzhou is also very suitable. The land of Yuzhou in the south of Yanzhou is where our army will attack Situ Lei's army. It is more convenient to attack Yanzhou. Let me tell you the reason why the target is Xuzhou."  Murong Cheng asked in surprise.

    Zhang Tu said: "Indeed, in terms of sending troops to fight, it is more appropriate for us to attack Yanzhou. However, while we attack these three small princes, we must also allow Situ Lei and Zhao Xun to have another fight over the merger of the states.  Disputes. But this Yanzhou has a great relationship with Zhao Jun. More importantly, Zhao Jun?The canal just enters the western area of ??Yanzhou. Now, both Zhao Jun and Yanzhou have cooperated to dredge the waters of the Yellow River in order to enhance commerce.  Therefore, if we use Yanzhou as a breakthrough point, Zhao Jun will inevitably be involved.  In fact, when the Yanzhou Army had no way to retreat, it fell directly to the Zhao Army and even surrendered to the Zhao Army.  Now, within the Yanzhou Army, the attitude towards Zhao Jun is extremely ambiguous, so Yanzhou cannot move lightly.  Therefore, our primary target is Xuzhou.  "

    "Furthermore, Xuzhou and we are also old enemies. If Xuzhou is captured, it will be a great boost to the morale of our army. The most important thing is that this Xuzhou army has been bewitching the Yanzhou army and the Yanzhou army when we fought against Situ Lei this year.  The Tang army joined forces with them and secretly violated our military orders. "

    Zhong Yan also added: "This will not only allow us to get out of the quagmire of war and prevent another dispute between Situ Lei and Zhao Xun, but also allow our rear to relieve the pressure of the war. After all, our successive years of wars have also allowed us to manage  The pressure on the people in the lower states is not light. We have to learn from the situation under Situ Lei. I also suggest that the prince can reduce the excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes that have been increased in recent years to make the people more supportive of the prince."

    Murong Cheng and others are also aware of what Zhong Yan said.  The states under the rule of Yong's army were already poor. Years of wars made the areas under their rule filled with refugees and bandits.  In fact, this was also the case in many places under Qi Jun's rule.  However, it was much better than under Yong Jun's rule.

    "Well, let's prepare like this! Remember, don't leak this matter so that Xuzhou can be prepared. In addition, let the navy also be prepared. Once action is taken, the navy will also be an indispensable main force."

    "In addition, we will strengthen inspections of various prefectures and counties to reduce the temporary increase in taxes due to war needs. Since we want to recuperate, we must provide the most comfortable environment for the people."

    "I understand!"

    "Your Majesty is wise!"
