Section 125 Zhou Family
When will we inform Jiang Feng? This matter has become the most discussed issue in the Zhou family recently.
At the beginning, the Zhou father and son wanted to wait until Zhou Rui gave birth to a child, and then informed him after confirming the man and woman, but they felt that this was inappropriate.
Even if it was a daughter, it should be a good news for Jiang Feng, who had no children, so the Zhou family wanted to inform him immediately, but then Huaiyou launched another battle against Yanyunyi, so the Zhou family felt that it might be more appropriate to inform him after the battle between Yanyun and the end, so they avoid interfering with Jiang Feng's major conquest plan.
Now the battle between Yan and Yun has come to an end. What is more important is that the Huai You Army has taken another move in Huainan and captured Chuzhou in one fell swoop.
This action was not disturbed or boycotted by Li Wu or the ant thief, which means that Huaiyou has already had the ability to do whatever he wants in the entire Huainan.
After taking Chuzhou, Huaiyou's strength in Huainan was further strengthened. Luhao Chu and the four prefectures were both granaries in Huainan. Hezhou was narrow in territory but the geographical location was important. It is estimated that Huaiyou did not take Hezhou because he was unwilling to stimulate Li Wu too much.
If Shuzhou is also included in the Huaiyou control area, almost all the central part of Huai'an Road belongs to Huaiyou. The area between Jianghuai is precisely the area with the largest grain production in the entire Middle Land. Everyone understands what it means to master this area.
More importantly, the main force of the ant thief suddenly went south, broke through Tianchang, Liuhe Line, had crossed the river from Guabu and Baisha Line, entered Runzhou, and immediately caused waves in Jiangnan.
Runzhou and the adjacent Changzhou are the core of Li and Wu. Li and Wu will never tolerate ant thieves rampant in Runchang and Changzhou, so the Li and Wu army, who were originally stationed in Chuzhou and Yangzhou, also quickly rushed south to cross the river and fought fiercely with the ant thieves in Runzhou.
It's okay. The ant thief who had been active in Xuanzhou suddenly became active at this time, constantly launching offensives in Xuanzhou, making the entire Xuanzhou mess up, and moving closer to Runzhou, it seems that it is going to merge.
The drastic changes in the situation made the Zhou family feel a little nervous, especially the merger between the Jiang bandits and the ant thieves, which even became part of the ant thieves, which made Shuzhou extremely scared. If the ant thieves were in trouble in Runchang's war, it was very likely that they would return to Xuanzhou. With the support of the Jiang bandits, it would be a matter of sudden return from Xuanzhou to Shuzhou every minute, which made people feel so uneasy.
"I don't know very well, but the master and the others have been discussing in the flower hall for a long time." Qingying bit her lip and said, "Miss, if the master and the others decide, are you planning to go to Xuzhou or Shouzhou?"
Qingying knew that her lady was absolutely unwilling to go to Luzhou, so she only had two choices: Xuzhou and Shouzhou. Xuzhou is in Huaibei and the climate is drier than Huainan, not as good as Shouzhou, and Shouzhou is similar to Luzhou.
"I'm afraid we can't help it." Zhou Rui also showed a look of pause on his face.
She still doesn't know what reaction Jiang Feng would have if he knew that he had this child in his stomach. This matter was not implemented for a day and she couldn't sleep all day, no matter how her father and brother said it.
At this time, the father and son were indeed arguing fiercely in the flower hall.
"Father, after Huaiyou took Chuzhou, the ant thieves were probably attacked by Huaiyou and Li Wu, so they had to go south to cross the river. But now the Jiang bandits and two ants thieves were mixed up, and the power became extremely terrifying. They could freely travel between Xuanzhou and Shuzhou. Our little force could not resist. Although their focus is now in Runzhou, once the main army of Liwu went south to fight them to the decisive battle, they were likely to retreat to Xuanzhou. The possibility of returning to Shuzhou should not be underestimated. Once we enter Shuzhou again, we will not be as relaxed as last time."
Zhou Yang almost shouted while waving his hands while arousing the recognition of his father and brother in a strong tone.
"Father, what my second brother said makes sense. Li Wu had no reaction to Huaiyou's occupation of Chuzhou. I guess even if Huaiyou occupied Hezhou now, Li Wu would not react, because now Li Wu's Donghai Army and Zhenhai Army have gone south to Runzhou to fight the ant thieves. Although the ant thieves are rampant, looking at their performance in Chuzhou in the past six months, it is enough to prove that they still don't have much advantage in confronting the elite troops of the Dafan clan. Once Li Wu's army defeats the ant thieves in Runzhou, the ant thieves will have to find another way out and even split. But even if some ant thieves enter our Shuzhou again, it will be an unbearable burden for our Shuzhou."
"So you all think you want to ask Huaiyou for help?" Zhou Fu was very unhappy. It seemed that he wanted to use the child in his daughter's belly to threaten Huaiyou. It was too much. Even if it was a transaction, it made people blush, but the reality in front of him was so severe that it was so anxious.
"Father, this is not inconsistent with reporting to Huaiyou. We had signed a mutual aid agreement with Huaiyou, and Huaiyou also had an obligation to ensure our safety. As for the second sister, this is something that has happened. The second sister and the Yang family have also broken up, and the gossip outside is irrelevant. If you really know the origin of the child in the second sister's belly, those guys will be silent immediately." Zhou Yang was still talking.
Zhou Fu also knew that his second son's words were very reasonable and in line with reality, but it was a bit uncomfortable in reason, but as the head of the family, he did not dare to act irritably, and this was also an unavoidable fact. He had to accept: "Who will send to Xuzhou?"
"Father, this matter must be stable only if you have to be with your closest relatives. Of course you can't go, either I or Big Brother." Zhou Yang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his father relieved, "Brother still wants to stay at home, so I'd better go there. I may not have gone to Xuzhou for a long time, so I'll go and see how Jiang Feng's rule is."
Zhou Fu glanced at his second son, but he understood what his son thought.
With the sharp changes in the situation in Huainan, small vassals like Shuzhou have less and less living space, especially with the attacks of ants in Huainan and Jiangnan, and the subsequent Li Wu and Yue Kingdoms began to move. It is estimated that after the next round, the wealthy and prominent families in Jiangnan who only own one state and half counties will be swept into the pile of historical papers. The small vassals of the Zhou family can survive now, which is probably because Huaiyou does not have much energy to take into account.
It is never clear where Shuzhou will go in the future, but as both sons, they realize that Shuzhou is too young for them, like a frog in the well. As the second son, Zhou Yang originally wanted to compete with his brother who was obsessed with literary affairs for a future position, but now Zhou Yang doesn't have much thought in this regard. Instead of fighting with his brother in Shuzhou, it is better to jump out of the small patio of Shuzhou and go to Xuzhou to find a better future.
Zhou Lun and Zhou Rui have a very good relationship, but Zhou Yang has a closer relationship with his second sister. With this relationship, coupled with his own ability, Zhou Yang feels that he can find a better place to go on the huge Huaiyou (Wunning) territory.
*********************************************
The continuous load team and donkey carts pulled food and grass and various supplies along the east bank of Yishui, and the horse team and the army were passing one after another. The man squatting on the edge of the stone mill at the village head shrank his head and looked at the passing army with a little numbness.
"Second son, I'm afraid it's going to fight? I seem to have been using the army all this month, and these grain teams. Damn, it's so scattering. There are so many grains, the old and young men in our village will never finish eating them in their lifetime." A ragged man lying lazily behind the stone mill was searching for the fleas on his body in the sun, and sighed, "I had known that I would have been in the army too, and I could have a good stomach."
"You are so lazy, joining the army? You will have to be a military law in two days." The man squatting on the edge of the stone mill did not turn around and said angrily: "You should stay in the village honestly. After surviving this year, maybe God will open his eyes next year."
"Yes, everyone thinks so. Oh, I just don't know if I can survive this winter." The lazy man sat up from the ground. "Everyone said that our Yishui is now the county government management. The village also gave some food a few days ago. Maybe the county government will give some kindness this year. We can really get through it. If we really can't get through it, I can only take my wife south."
"Who knows?" The man squatting next to the stone mill felt a little numb. He stood up and moved his body, but he kept staring at the road at the entrance of the village, silently counting the passing teams and carts, and of course the teams and cavalry teams.
In the past ten days, at least six armies have passed 15,000 troops, one of which is a cavalry, the others are infantry, and there are also a large number of weapons and equipment. It seems that this will be the case that the soldiers will pass in the future.
It was time for someone to answer the letter tonight, but the Huaiyou (Wunning) army obviously not only stopped there, but they had to tell them clearly, and they didn't know if there were any other passing soldiers. This was not something he should have to worry about, but he always felt a little uneasy.
"Dalang, you are swaying around the village head all day long and don't go to find some food? Your mother is gone, why are you coming back?" The lazy man lying on the ground covered his eyes with his hands, looking at the dazzling sunshine. "The day before yesterday, I was outside Wu Erbao's house at the village head. I saw people coming from the village side and cleaning up who went out and who came back again. It seems that there is a statement, and I have to ask for someone to prove it. Where have you been going in the past year?"
"Oh?" The man who didn't care too much about it tightened his heart. It was so fast that it was said that after Xiao Xian became the chief minister of Yizhou, he began to promote the baojia system in various counties. It seemed that he had pushed it to the countryside so quickly. It was not long after he came back this trip. I was afraid that it would be difficult to escape the investigation. It was not difficult to hide this experience, but I was afraid that it would be less convenient in the future. "I just went out to escape the famine and spend my stomach full. What should I do if I had no one to prove it?"
