remarrying husband

Zhao Zishen is the younger brother of Zhao Hechi with the same father and mother, who is at least eight years younger. After Zhao Hechi had tasted the warmth and coldness of the harem, and his brothers were not close, he was always on guard, and his mother gave birth to a younger brother for him.

At that time, Zhao Hechi had something to look forward to, and his younger brother was murdered by the harem's conspiracy. He was weak since he was a child, and he looked delicate, well-behaved and quiet.It really hurt Zhao Hechi's heart.The queen mother went to look for Zhao Zishen, whom Zhao Hechi brought up at that time, and had a lot of trust in him. For more than 20 years, his younger brother has never had anything against him except for the occasional greed for money and a little mischief.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help squeezing Zhao Zishen's hand again, thinking that Zhao Guo must not be defeated, otherwise what would his younger brother do?

He is the emperor of the Zhao Kingdom, and the ministers in the court want him to protect the people in the world, but Zhao Hechi is like what he thought when he was the prince of the harem, he only needs to protect his younger brother.

Zhao Zishen's hands were blue from being pinched, and the pain was severe, but he still lay on the soft couch with a calm face, looking at his brother who was sitting reclined, reviewing the memorial.

Inexplicable, rest assured...

He obviously came in because he wanted to talk to his elder brother, but he fell asleep unknowingly.

When he woke up, it was dark outside the window, but his brother was still in the same posture as when he fell asleep.Those memorials are really reviewed every day, and they can't be finished every night!

"elder brother…"

That elegant voice made a detour in the empty palace, hooking Zhao Hechi's heart, "Wake up and drink some water to moisten your throat."

"En..." Zhao Zishen didn't struggle, and was served by his brother, the king of the country, to drink the water.

"Are you hungry?" No matter how you look at it, my younger brother is cute.

"kindness…"

After being fed a few more pieces of pastry, he shook his head and refused to touch it again.

"Rest for a while? If you feel bored, can I find some books for you to read?" Zhao Hechi asked eagerly.

...Zhao Zishen tried hard to think about it, he felt that he had something to enter the palace... Then he remembered, "Actually, I have something to tell the emperor."

"Oh, what's the matter? Not enough money to spend? Still want something?" The national treasury is empty, but I still have a little bit of private treasury... It should be enough to coax my brother.

Zhao Zishen looked at his imperial brother with a half-smile, "When I was seven years old?"

"How is it possible?" Zhao Hechi said with a righteous face, but he was muttering in his heart, at most five years old!

"I have enough food and grass for the north and the south for three months." Zhao Zishen said straight to the point.

Zhao Hechi was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed loudly, "This relationship is good, and it's really a matter of my urgent need!"

Zhao Zishen smiled, but felt displeased that his brother called himself me just now.

"However, Zishen will have so much food and grass?" Zhao Hechi wanted to doubt subconsciously, but this was his younger brother, so he immediately suppressed the doubt, and felt that he was ashamed of his younger brother.

"Doubt me?" Zhao Zishen lay on the soft couch, half-sitting, raised his brows slightly, and looked at his brother indifferently.

The latter shook his head again and again, "I'm just curious, how dare I doubt you?" My younger brother has no soldiers or private soldiers.

What happened to Ling Yao the other day, Yu Xiu Mian reported it the night he came back.

"En." Zhao Zishen was slightly satisfied, "Actually, it's mostly potatoes. Before you went to Lu An, Mr. Yu was looking for potatoes and corn everywhere. Out of curiosity, I asked someone to ask what happened to these two things. Later Knowing that potatoes can be harvested once in April, I became a little suspicious. Yu Xiumian was still cautious and timid, and dared to announce it only after trying it himself. I directly ordered people to plant all the potatoes in my territory, and now I have collected the third batch..." Said At this point, I feel a little sad, "This thing is too long, there is no place to put it."

Zhao Hechi looked at his younger brother's displeased face, and he was happy, but he still had a serious face, "What's the matter, brother disposed of those potatoes for you!" He still knows how much land his younger brother has. .

If all potatoes are planted, I'm afraid... that's enough!

Thinking about it this way, Mr. Yu is really a little timid. If he insists on planting it again, is that like his younger brother's wanton personality?Fortunately, fortunately, Zhao Guo's urgent need has just been resolved, isn't it?

"Then what should the imperial brother reward me?" How could it be so cheap for his imperial brother?

"You said?"

"I don't want to marry yet."

Tsk tsk, I can't hug my nephew again this year...

Soft, just like Zishen when he was a child, how good would that be?

Zhao Hechi glanced at Zhao Zishen regretfully, and slavishly said, "Even if you don't marry a wife, you are a man after all..." Put some warmers on the bed, maybe you will have a nephew after warming it up?

...inexplicably suspected this is?The veins on Zhao Zishen's forehead kept jumping up and down, just wanting to beat this bastard brother to death!

Cao Zhenling is not a fool, he knows that relying on others is worse than relying on himself.

Yu Xiumian also has a place where the equity is not available. Instead of expecting others to be stupid, it is better to try it yourself.

Therefore, after that day, merchants in Ding'an City were encouraged to go to any place around to collect grain and grass, as much as they wanted, and anything was fine, as long as it could be eaten, it would not kill people.

In this way, potatoes, sweet potatoes, wild vegetables, etc., can be a temporary solution.

There was an immediate response to the plausible warnings from the grassland tribes, either they simply kept silent, Cao Zhenling ordered people to cut off their trade, or they told everyone what they knew.

In this regard, Cao Simu and Jiang Cai'an lead people to filter which information is true and which is false.

It has to be said that Old General Chen is a little convinced by this kid now, although he doesn't play his cards according to common sense, but everything works out.Now he doesn't pay attention to these rules, if he wants to do it, he should do it.

The battle of Ding'an City became more and more deadlocked. Originally, Chen Tai'an and others could defend easily, but now the enemy is getting denser and denser, and they don't fight directly like in the past. On the contrary, they will attack by surprise or use deceit, and their methods are more and more like the Central Plains people.

Cao Zhenling's face was serious, and he had a general understanding of the person behind him, "Old General Chen, I'm afraid it's wrong for us to be so passive all the time."

"What are you going to do?" Chen Tai'an rubbed his brows wearily, he had known this day would come.

Cao Zhenling is not a quiet person, he was willing to obediently obey his command before, maybe he was trying to find out the enemy's intentions, and by the way, let his soldiers adapt faster.

"I plan to sneak attack them!" Cao Zhenling pointed to two places on the map, "This is a valley, three days away from us. We need food and grass, and they need it too. It's a long way, so I'm afraid it's best to find a place nearby. Picture La said that there are traces of Tanan people here, and I want to take someone to feel it."

Chen Taian pursed his lips tightly, thought for a long time, and finally nodded, "Go."

In fact, this is not the only place suitable for storing grain and grass, and there are traces of Tanan people in the other three places.

Cao Zhenling felt that with the other party's cunning temperament, it was absolutely impossible to put the food and grass in one place, and the cunning rabbit still had three holes.I'm afraid these four places are only on the surface, and it's not sure which one has food and grass.

But he didn't want to talk too much with Chen Tai'an, the other party was his boss, but the two had different ideas.

Although Chen Tai'an didn't say anything, his intention was obvious, that is to stick to it!The imperial court will send food and troops.

Indeed, if there is enough food and grass, Ding'an City can be defended for 100 years, but Cao Zhenling doesn't have so much time to spend in Ding'an City.

His lover is not in Ding'an City, and even a small Ding'an City cannot disturb him for too long.

So Cao Zhenling decided to take a slanted sword and attack the unprepared by surprise!

In his two lifetimes, he has fought more than a hundred battles, big and small. Although it was the first time such a large-scale battle in the cold weapon era, he and Cao Simu didn't realize it at all, and all that remained was excitement!

Back to his barracks, he recruited his cronies, "I'm afraid there is food and grass in this place, but they are all bait."

Cao Simu was also skeptical, but he felt that there was a large-scale grain storage in one of them, and it was a base for the enemy to store grain and grass.

However, if you just listen to what other people say, you can't find out where it is stored.

"I want to check it out." Therefore, Cao Simu narrowed her eyes and looked sharply at the map.

"Go, two thousand cavalry." Cao Zhenling knew his brothers and sisters as well as he knew himself.

"Yes!"

"But the place where the real food and grass are stored is in this vast prairie. We have to find it!" Burning this rat nest will not only add enough time to Ancheng, delay the enemy's footsteps, but also increase their morale .

The morale of the soldiers in the city has also declined and they are upset.

While everyone was thinking, a soldier suddenly ran outside the tent and reported, "General Cao, the enemy is attacking the city again!"

Cao Zhenling frowned, and said "tsk tsk" impatiently, "Again!"

Xiao Teng couldn't help sighing, "Their activities are becoming more and more ordinary."

"Isn't it? In the past, it was once every ten days and a half a month, but now it comes every three or five days! The last time it seemed like three days or two days ago?" Liang Chaotian said angrily.

"Two days..." Cao Simu's heart sank a little.

"I'm afraid I can't afford to delay." Xing Chitian looked at the map, "I'm going with Cao Simu. I'm afraid there are some food reserves in these places."

"I'll follow the general!" Liang Chaotian followed Cao Zhenling with determination.

Xiao Teng hesitated for a while, "I'll stay in the barracks. I'm afraid the two of you won't be able to bring too many people with you. If there is an emergency, I can still command soldiers and horses to help Old General Chen resist one or two."

Those southern barbarians, like fleas, attacked from time to time, but they didn't intend to take down Ding'an City in one go.

They want to drag Ding'an to death without a single soldier!

Cao Simu and Cao Zhenling each brought 2000 men and horses, carried dry food for ten days, and accompanied Tula's cronies and soldiers familiar with the grassland recommended by Chen Tai'an, and they went deep into the grassland together.

Compared to Cao Zhenling who was looking for the food and grass hidden in the pimple in the endless grassland, Cao Simu had four goals at that time, and the nearest one was just a day away.

The opponent was in a cave surrounded by hundreds of soldiers patrolling.

Cao Simu changed into black clothes, "I'll sneak in at night, I won't be caught."

"That can make you suspected? My lightness kung fu is very good, let me go!" Xing Chitian immediately stopped.

Cao Simu smiled, "If I'm caught, I'll rely on you to save me." In her eyes, the enemy's situation is unknown, and taking Xing Chitian rashly would be in the way.

"How can there be no general in the army!" Xing Chitian knew the identity of this person, so how dare she be involved?

"My brother is here, so I'll go too." Cao Simu was a little impatient, "You just wait for me!" He pushed the person blocking the way with one hand.

Xing Chitian was stunned and was pushed back three steps before he stood still. He was astonished and couldn't believe it, but... felt that the old men really lost face.

But in the end, I couldn't say anything against it, so I could only pray in my heart, strengthen my guard, and be ready to rescue at any time.

Cao Simu's stats have been extremely high since she was a child. After coming to this ghostly place, from the beginning she couldn't lift her shoulders and resist, and now she is pushing a stone ball with one hand, letting her know that her strength back then is gradually returning.That power is probably integrated into the soul. I am like this, and I am afraid that my brother is also like this.

That being the case, Cao Simu, the guard of more than a hundred people, didn't pay attention at all.If it wasn't for fear of killing them all but attracting the opponent's attention, Cao Simu would never spare the enemy's life.

Cao Simu, who came back in half an hour, Xing Chitian thought that the other party touched him and didn't go in, and just opened his mouth to say that he came.

But Cao Simu said impatiently, "It's really empty, it's an empty warehouse, let's go to the next one."

Everything went smoothly unexpectedly, Xing Chitian didn't even know how his Cao family grew up!She was so delicate and glamorous when she was dressed as a woman, but when she changed into a blue dress, she was suddenly so cruel and outrageous!

Cao Zhenling led the team under the guidance of Tula himself. If Chen Weiang hadn't said anything about this bold Lin'er, he wouldn't have thought of Lin'er at all.

The grassland stretches as far as the eye can see. Although Cao Zhenling has a keen observation ability, he occasionally overlooks something.But Tu La was able to explain what happened three days ago with a little difference.

Sure enough, it is a tribe on the grassland, with amazing abilities.

"General Cao thought about where we are going? What is the real purpose?" Tu La didn't believe that Cao Zhenling was just touching the place.

After arriving on the grassland for a day, Cao Zhenling said frankly to Tula, "It is enough for Simu to be in charge of the four lands. I suspect that the enemy is cunning, and there is one place for us to destroy and rest assured. Yes. The real grain storage place should not be there.”

Tu La was startled, "Is that the woman?"

Cao Zhenling was a little surprised, except that those in the capital who knew about the Cao family became suspicious because they called her Cao Simu outspokenly, no one found out about the girl's men's clothing.

Sure enough, her observation skills were astonishing. "That's right, it's her."

"A beauty is not inferior to a man." Tu La did not object, but admired. He was suspicious when he saw Cao Simu following Cao Zhenling for the first time in the barracks. After a few times, he discovered Cao Simu's gender.

But this is not his army, his country, so naturally he won't say much.However, I also admire Cao Zhenling who is willing to reuse Cao Simu's daughter.

What's more, when observing, how could he not know Cao Simu's ability?Really disrespectful man.

"How familiar are you with the grassland?" Cao Zhenling didn't sigh with him, but asked directly.

"I was born in the grassland, and the grassland is my home. How familiar are you with your home?" Tula said confidently.

"Then you know that your house can store food?" Cao Zhenling complained.

…This person is too annoying. "Except for these four places, the grassland is vast. If someone digs holes to store grain, it's really hard to say. But the grassland is thin... there are only a few places that can be dug deep." Tu La recalled.

"Then what's so special about you?" Cao Zhenling asked again.

"I know that there is a steep mountain, but it can't store grain, and it can't dig the mountain. It's Bogda, the holy mountain. The Chaerqi tribe stays near Bogda all the year round." Tu La said three or five places in a row. .

"Did Cha Erqi join the battle?" Cao Zhenling asked.

"Participating in the war..." Tulla sighed.

"Tribe living in the holy mountain?" Cao Zhenling was a little surprised, "Are they very warlike?"

"No..." Tula felt a little strange when he asked him, "They are God's shepherds... they seldom participate in wars."

Cao Zhenling pulled the rein and said slowly, "Do you all have the same beliefs on the grassland?"

"No, Teng'an believes in wolves. Although we also respect the holy mountain, it is said that we came from the other side of the grassland, so we are different from most native tribes on the grassland. Tanan believes in Junggar and is a god. Chaerqi believes that Bortala is the brother of Junggar." Tula said frankly.

Cao Zhenling held the reins and walked forward slowly, "There are many factors in war, such as hunger, power, and belief. We always thought that the other party's greed and desire for power have forgotten that there is another possibility...Tula The reason why you can remain neutral is because your beliefs are different from theirs. It’s okay that they don’t have enough troops to deal with you now, but as long as we are eliminated, their thorn in the flesh will be turned around and it will be you. To them As far as you are concerned, you are a cancer on the grassland."

Tula thought it was ridiculous! "There are quite a few in Neutrality who share the same beliefs as them."

"Are their beliefs solid? And are you sure they are not attached to gain trust?" Cao Zhenling looked back at Tula seriously, "Half of the information we exchanged through business is problematic, that is to say, deception... But we have to keep these people, and we have to give the enemy enough illusions."

Tu La suddenly didn't know how to refute, but still couldn't believe it, and felt ridiculous, "Then why didn't they deal with us first? Didn't you say that we are cancer?"

"For them, you on the grassland are too easy to deal with, and..." Cao Zhenling said in a deep voice, "They don't want us to guess the real purpose this time. I'm afraid there are others on the grassland who believe in the same way as you Different tribes? Where are they now?"

"Indeed, they..." Tula was shocked when he recalled, "They are all on our side."

"Yes, it's all on your side." Cao Zhenling sneered suddenly, "The people on the grassland are not stupid people. How can they entrust their people to the farewell tribe if they just make promises without actual benefits? , to participate in unnecessary wars? I doubted before, whether there was enough temptation or deal. Now I know, such selfless dedication, only faith! I am afraid that the grassland has long been in the situation where you Teng'an don't even know The sky has changed! This battle has changed a lot, and it runs counter to what I only knew in the past, because the leader has a brain! Maybe it is your so-called "Holy Son" or the so-called "Representative of God" or something like that God's stick."

"Then we..." Tu La believed, but there was not enough evidence for him to follow Cao Zhenling's words and rashly let Teng An join the battle.

"You send someone back to inform your patriarch, let them be vigilant, and unite all the tribes that have different beliefs from the Tanan tribe. And let's find evidence!" Cao Zhenling thought, if evidence is found, it may be possible to follow the clues. Can you find their hiding place?maybe.

Now that he knew the purpose, Cao Zhenling waited for everyone to go to the holy mountain Bogda, and that would most likely give them an answer.

But who knows, three days away from Bogda, Tula said, "We may have been noticed."

"It's still so far away from me!" Cao Zhenling couldn't help but swear.

Tu La looked at the 2000 men and horses with him and shook his head, "There are still too many people. If you want to go, I'm afraid there will only be five people at most."

Cao Zhenling held his horsewhip, thinking.

If what I said at the beginning was just speculation, then nine out of ten may be true now.It doesn't make sense to be targeted so far away from the holy mountain of Bogda. There are ulterior secrets in the holy mountain in all likelihood.

After a while, Cao Zhenling decided to check out "five people?"

"Yes." Tulla said, "up to five people."

"You take one, I take one, let's have four people." This is also mutual restraint, after all, Tu La is not his lover, but Chen Weiang's little lover.

"Okay," Tulla pointed to a confidant.

Cao Zhenling glanced at the person he brought out, and thought woefully, how good would it be if he kept that girl by his side?

Now, he can only take Zheng Anhua who has been trained for many years.Firstly, trust, secondly, his skill has been trained by him over the years, and thirdly, this kid has insufficient experience in leading troops, so it is better to leave Liang Chaotian and Jiang Caian to play by ear.

A group of four felt weirder the closer they got to the holy mountain.

They had already detoured for a while to avoid being tracked, and Tula led the way overnight, but it still took more than four days to reach the foot of the mountain.

The four let go of their horses and decided to go on foot.Because Cao Zhenling's mate was too clever, he asked Wu Yun to look at the three little friends, and rushed over after hearing Cao Zhenling's flute.The latter gnawed Cao Zhenling's head impatiently...

On the holy mountain, there are many cliffs.Tula has been here before, but he is not familiar with it, so he can only rely on groping and avoiding people.

There are still people, who follow while avoiding.

"There is a tunnel in the holy place. I heard from others that it leads to the residence of God. It is actually a dead end. I heard from that person that it seems to have been blocked thousands of years ago. God punished them and abandoned them. Yes." Tulla wiped the dust off his face.

A group of them were lying on the ground, and Tula pointed to several places to explain.

"If it's really a religious war, I'm afraid this road to God will also be opened." Cao Zhenling made a decisive decision, "Go and see."

"to make!"

Not going well, Cao Zhenling thought.They might be able to feel it through human traces and vague explanations, but it was really a tunnel.It was about five people wide, and they lay there for two days. They wanted to go in several times to find out, but they found that people either rode in or rode out.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes, he knew that the road was not wide. If he went in rashly, he might be found and caught if he did something wrong.What's more, you don't know what's going on at the other end of the tunnel.

"Just grab someone and ask them." Cao Zhenling sighed.

Tula was shocked beyond belief when he saw that the tunnel was opened. In the next two days, he saw many tribal leaders standing respectfully outside the cave, arranging their clothes and then entering cautiously. He knew that Cao Zhenling might be right. up...
