Chapter 176 [Reduce enemies and increase friends]

The Longyou generals finally left and left Lanling with three thousand cavalry.

Everyone in the world had a banquet, and they didn’t come to the banquet, but came to help with the war, but they just didn’t catch up with the war.

This cannot be blamed on others, it is because the war ended too quickly.

This time, An Lushan sent 50,000 troops to enter the pass, and everyone in the world thought that Shandong would suffer. After all, it was a 50,000 army, and it was also a border army in the border areas of the vassal states.

The strength of the 50,000 border troops is almost comparable to that of the 150,000 troops in the pass. Under the deterrence of such powerful troops, the Longyou cavalry still dared to come and help. This intention alone is enough to touch.

Besides, they did not pretend to behave, but rushed thousands of miles away, from Longyou to Lanling for more than 2,500 miles. It took them only seven days and nights to arrive.

Even no matter how picky and narrow-minded people are, they have to admit that they are rushing to the death.

Even if you are desperate to travel, there is obviously no possibility of pretending, because the earlier you come, the more likely you are to participate in the war.

So anyone can see that the Longyou cavalry really are coming to the battlefield to fight desperately. So any Lanling person understands that Longyou will be Lanling's good friend in the future.

When I encounter difficulties, you rush to help thousands of miles away. Although you have never joined hands, I already know your feelings.

From now on, you and I are friends!

...

It is already late autumn, or it can be called early winter.

The weather has not yet become cold, but it is very cool.

This season does not require you to cool off under the trees. It is very comfortable to sit in the yard. The sky is high and the clouds are light and the breeze is sluggish. It makes people involuntarily become lazy and always want to take a nap lazily.

Guo Ziyi took a small wine pot and took a sip of it happily, then fed the wine, opened her mouth and waited for someone to feed her.

A rich and innocent hand held a fried golden peanut, gently placed it in his mouth, and helped him wipe the wine stains on the corner of his mouth.

The peanuts were fried very crispy and fragrant when they were chewed. Guo Ziyi felt very satisfied and lay down on her back comfortably.

The pillow feels very soft, with a girlish fragrance, but I don’t know whether it is exquisite legs or bell legs.

It doesn’t matter, it’s because of the legs of my own maid, and it’s a maid who is a maid who is a pillow, so it’s not illegal to put it on.

"whee!"

The laughter of two maids sounded in his ears, and the voice was filled with sweet happiness. Qianqian's bare hands appeared again, and this time she was fed a piece of crisp fried shrimp.

Guo Ziyi seemed to be a lazy guy who was waiting to die, chewing the fragrant shrimp slowly. He felt very satisfied with this kind of life, but the two maids who fed him felt more satisfied than him.

Only a cold snorting next to him was snorted, showing the dissatisfaction of the hostess: "You two girls, just spoil him like this. One day, they will spoil him for something wrong with him and raise a lazy and vulgar old man."

The person who spoke was Yang Yuhuan, who was doing needlework at this time. He occasionally raised his small cotton jacket in his hand and checked the sewn stitches in front of the sunlight.

The two maids were scolded and did not look panicked. Instead, they stuck out their tongues mischievously and said with a smile: "Today is a rest. My son-in-law needs a good rest. From the beginning of the war, my son-in-law has been busy for more than a month, and he has led his troops to fight and was a naturalized surrender again. I am tired and have to take a break..."

Yang Yuhuan had no choice but to reach out and twisted the maid's face, and joked: "The big-name girl actually knows how to care for others. Why don't I hang a red lantern for you tonight so that you can fulfill the dream of a maid who is connected to the room?"

This was a bit dirty. The two little maids moaned, their cheeks turned red, and their little heads were hanging down and they dared not speak.

Yang Yuhuan laughed and continued to do her needlework.

On the ground beside her was covered with a thick piece of linoleum. Princess Linglong was touching the ground with her head and pressing her head against a little guy's head.

This is a game called Dingniu.

It’s a pity that the forces of both sides of the game are somewhat unequal.

One is a girl with 28, and the other is a baby in open crotch pants. No matter how weak the girl is, the baby is not her opponent.

It's purely bullying people with strength.

It has the smell of kicking kindergarten in later generations.

"Hahaha, Hutou, you lost again, do it again..."

The entire yard of the Guo family's back house was filled with delicate and smug laughter.

It’s a pity that joy leads to sorrow!

There was a sudden crisp sound.

However, Yang Yuhuan raised his hand and slapped Linglong's little butt heavily, scolded: "A princess, she is not at all good at it. You are comparing to a baby with a baby, do you know what embarrassment means?"

Linglong reached out to rub her butt, hummed and said stubbornly, "I play with the children, I must play the children's games. Sister, why should you hit me? Didn't you find that Xiaohutou is having a lot of fun?"

Yang Yuhuan smiled angrily and glared at her eyes: "He is having fun? I think it's because you are having fun. How old is the little tiger's head? It's over one year old... If you ask him to win the cow with you, it's better to let him win the stones."

Lingqing's eyes were shaking, and her pretty face showed a trace of sneakiness, especially the secret joy and surprise in her eyes, as if she suddenly discovered something fun.

Yang Yuhuan was so smart that she saw through her little thoughts and quickly scolded: "If you really dare to hold the little tiger's head and go to the stone, don't blame me for punishing you to deliver food to Mr. Guo..."

Linglong was startled and said suddenly: "If you don't go, I won't go. The old man is too long-winded. Every time he goes to deliver the meal, he always talks about it. His ears explode and I won't go if I beat him to death."

Yang Yuhuan snorted and said, "You have something to be afraid of."

Linglong's eyes were rumbling again, and she suddenly picked up the little tiger's head and ran away. A string of silver bell-like laughter showed smug excitement: "Let's go chase the dog and let the little tiger's head ride the dog to play."

This time it was Yang Yuhuan's turn to be shocked and said hurriedly: "You dare to let him ride a dog. Do you know how pitiful the rhubarb in the house is. Last time, I was ridden by Xiaohu's head and pulled off half of the hair on Dahuang's neck. It hurt so much that it grinned. When I saw you two, I hid... Come back, come back quickly."

However, there were delicate laughter and laughter deep in the yard and the excitement of the little tiger head. One big and one small, they had already slipped away. Soon the screams of the loyal dog Dahuang were remembered there.

Yang Yuhuan's face turned pale and couldn't help but stand up and chase after him.

Guo Ziyi, who was lying lazily, finally opened her eyes and said, "Beating a dog and chasing chickens, a child is naturally a little tiger head, and you can't be so nervous."

Yang Yuhuan's face turned even more green and said angrily: "Little Hutou is a child, is Linglong also a child? She is twenty years old, so how can there be such a big child in the world? Besides, I'm not nervous about her and Xiao Hutou. I'm pitiful Dahuang who protects our hospital... I'm just a dog, do you understand?"

Guo Ziyi laughed and said, "It is because the dog is a bitch at home that Linglong and Xiaohutou are close to it. Listen to how happy it calls, I guess its tail is shaking very happily now."

Yang Yuhuan threw the needle and thread basket heavily and said, "Is this a cheerful cry? Is this a shrill cry? Poor Dahuang, why do you have such a family?"

Guo Ziyi picked up the small wine pot again, took a sip, and then said: "Actually you should feel happy. It is a good thing that Linglong loves Xiaohutou. Didn't you notice it? She is more pampering Xiaohutou than you..."

Yang Yuhuan was still angry and said, "Love is a good thing, but doting is not good. Haven't you noticed it? Linglong's personality is becoming more and more like a child. She was not like this before, and she was shrewd all over."

Guo Ziyi shouted and said, "She is also very smart now, but she is aimed at outsiders. Only when she is at home can she reveal her child's nature. Especially in front of you, she is more like a child..."

As he stopped, he continued, "When will a person be like a child? It must be when he feels stress-free and is taken care of. Linglong is like this, and I am like this. Even our two maids, even Guo Qi's family, as long as everyone is at home, they all have the same feeling, no pressure, and very relaxed, so they can't help but reveal their nature."

"The reason for all this is because of your ability as the lord of the back home, your family affairs are managed by you, and your industry is planned in all aspects. All of us don't have to worry about it, just follow your steps."

"In this case, everyone is not under pressure, so when you are in front of you, you will feel particularly relaxed... This is a good thing, you should be proud."

The two little maids next to him nodded anxiously and added: "Yes, yes, the son-in-law is right, we also feel very relaxed, as long as we have a wife here, it will be very relaxed."

While speaking, the maid bell stretched out her bare hands again, picked up a fried peanut, put it into Guo Ziyi's mouth skillfully and neatly, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law eat something to keep the wine."

Another maid, Doudou, put Guo Ziyi's head on her legs, stretched out Qianqian's plain hands, massaged her lightly and softly, and said sweetly: "Are you tired, please squint your eyes and sleep for a while."

Yang Yuhuan was so angry that her face was bulging. Her beauty was helpless. She suddenly stretched out her fingers and pointed the foreheads of the three of them one by one. She said with a grudge: "With the whole family, I am the only one who works hard. You just need to enjoy your happiness, right?"

The two little maids laughed and said obediently: "With you here, we are very peaceful. It feels like living a life, and life is particularly promising."

Yang Yuhuan pretended to be angry on the surface. In fact, she was very doting on her two maids. Although she deliberately drooped her face when she heard this, she grabbed two plates of pastries and stuffed them over, pretending to scold: "Eat some yourself too, don't always think about serving others. Some people are quite old, and my mistress can't squeeze the maids... Be obedient, eat all the pastries. Look at you two are thin, don't give them the pastries to him."

The two little maids agreed obediently, and their eyes looked at Yang Yuhuan with admiration.

...

At this time, Guo Ziyi turned over, her face looked a little solemn, and she said in a deep voice: "According to time, the Longyou cavalry should have returned to Longyou. Please help me analyze and analyze what will happen next?"

As he said that, he looked at Yang Yuhuan and said in a deep voice: "For example, when they returned to Longyou, they saw the Jiedushi, who also had a surname of Guo, reported on this trip to Lanling, and told them what they saw and heard... Then, what would that Jiedushi react?"

"In addition, there are also the cavalry of Jiannan Road. They have also been in Lanling for several days and have also seen and contacted many core things... So what will the military governor react after they report these to Jiannan Jiedushi?"

Yang Yuhuan seemed to have not listened carefully, as if she was careless, but when she spoke, she realized that she had already made up her mind:

"Guo Zhiyun, the governor, is a traditional military general. Although he has already had a vassal state and has a force similar to that of the princes, his loyalty can be regarded as the support of the Tang Dynasty."

"And Cui Guangyuan, the governor of Jiannandao, was not very loyal to the Tang Dynasty, but this man was very stubborn and guarded his so-called rules all his life... For example, the source of his troops this time was because he believed that An Lushan's marching army into the pass was a breaking rule."

"These two governors are both vassal states, and each of them is in charge of nearly 100,000 troops. Although they are different in loyalty to the Tang Dynasty, they can be regarded as the support of the Tang Dynasty."

"As long as our family is still developing in the Tang Dynasty and does not show a desire to rebel and rebel, then the two governors will not become enemies."

Guo Ziyi nodded thoughtfully and said, "In other words, can you become an ally, right?"

Yang Yuhuan smiled casually and said, "Whether it is a vassal state or a military governor, when the power and power reach a certain level, both military and people's livelihood are actually political."

"And what is politics?"

"Politics is about making enemies fewer and more friends."

"This friend may not be a close friend, but he can be a partner who is tied up with interests. The most important thing is that when you tie them up, you cannot let them feel strong, or the threat of being too big."

When Yang Yuhuan said this, Cen Cen looked at Guo Ziyi and praised: "You have done a good job in this regard. The reckless man is the most reassuring person. When the cavalry from these two places return and report to their military governors, they will inevitably talk about your character first, and your character will inevitably reassure the two military governors..."

Guo Ziyi nodded and smiled and said, "No, a rough man like me, who is ignorant and straightforward, no one has to worry about being stabbed in the back."

Yang Yuhuan said 'um' and said, "So the next situation should be that the two governors are interested in our Lanling, and because of the non-threatening nature you show, it is easy for them to make alliances and friendly decisions."

"In this way, two of the nine major vassal states in the world will become allies. With their support, we must think about it carefully whether the court or the vassal state wants to move."

"While, unlike before, An Lushan would raise an army when he wanted to raise an army. Although he could not threaten us, his randomness in his storm had already shown our weakness... If our family was strong enough, would he dare to move troops casually?"

When Guo Ziyi heard this, she couldn't help but nodded and said, "That's the reason."

As he said that, he sighed and said again: "When people live in the world, factions and forces are indeed very important. I have finally realized the importance of helping someone. No matter how much I can fight, allies are still indispensable."

Yang Yuhuan smiled slightly and said, "So in the next time, our family mainly makes connections with others, be kind to others in the court, and win over allies among the vassal states... After watching and helping each other, we can shrink and develop secretly."

Guo Ziyi's eyes flashed and she said, "Farming, developing, and when we show our strength next time, I guess our family can become a vassal state."
