But I'm a male fox

A certain fox's dream of eating more than one fox fell through temporarily, and he was forced to live a life of misfortune that was even exposed to rain and dew...

in the next month.

The disciples of Xiaoyao Mountain that Zhang Tianxing said successfully defected to Zhu Chongxiu's house—it was the group of young people headed by Lu Zibu who were brought to the Central Plains by Zhu Chongxiu from the Western Regions.

With the help of this group of new forces, Zhu Chongxiu was even more powerful. Within half a month, he swept across the entire Jiangdong and directly drove Song Youzhong into the sea.

Finally, this little girl who had been a beggar completely occupied the four most prosperous provinces in Daqian, Zhongnan, and became the veritable No. [-] rebel in Tianzi!

Chapter 330 Four The General Trend of the World and the Love of Children

Beijing.

Chang Liao Wang Palace.

"My lord, the news just arrived that Ma Changping captured Taiyuan City at the end of the month."

After the sentence was finished, the hall fell into silence.

After a while, Zhou Yan, the king of Changliao who was sitting at the top, said in a deep voice: "When Cao Yueying was here, she defended three times and won three times. Now she has only been away for a few years, and there is no shortage of soldiers and food, but she has survived for two months. Don't go there? Is Yao Zhong a waste!"

A counselor on Zhou Yan's left got up and said, "My lord, it's useless to talk about the matter now. It's better to send reinforcements as soon as possible to help General Yao stabilize his position and guard Beiguan, lest the rebels go straight south to pass."

"This king knows..."

Zhou Yan waved his hand and said, "It's just that, the capital will look empty again. The plan we discussed before to recruit another [-] imperial troops needs to be accelerated."

"But my lord, if we recruit soldiers again in the near future, although there is no shortage of armor, the food and grass may not be able to sustain it."

Another counselor bowed and said: "I went to check yesterday, and the tax and food sent by Sichuan and Shu didn't even have a quarter of what we asked for. And now, the land of Jiangdong is also lost..."

Halfway through the speech, he couldn't help but stop talking when he saw the prince's face was livid.

boom!

Zhou Yan kicked over the desk and said sharply: "They are all a bunch of rebellious officials and thieves! Everyone gets it and punishes them!"

All the counselors were silent for a while, and some of them thought to themselves: a prince who discusses the matter of sending troops behind the emperor's back is considered a rebellious minister?

Of course, even if this person had ten guts, he wouldn't dare to say such a thing.

Zhou Yan rubbed his forehead and said: "Let's add a little more tax. We can only suffer the common people a little more. Let your majesty bear the burden of infamy."

The counselor who was the first to speak said again: "My lord, the tax has been raised three times before. If this continues, I am afraid that there will be troubles in Hebei provinces again. The rebel surnamed Zuo before is still hiding in Taiyuan Mountain and has not been wiped out. "

"That has to be added, they also have to be considerate of the court's difficulties!"

Zhou Yan turned his head and stared at the complete picture of Dagan hanging on the back wall of the hall. He saw that although it was magnificent, there were many small black flags on it, which represented the counties and counties occupied by the rebels. .

Counting it carefully, not counting the places of detention in the northwest and southwest, two-thirds of the core provinces have black flags.

"Northern horse, Jiangnan Zhu, Hebei Zuo, Sichuan and Shuliu... without soldiers, how can we level these people? How can we rejuvenate me!"

At this point, everyone in the hall agreed.

After discussing some miscellaneous matters, Zhou Yan felt a little tired, and asked suddenly: "Has Concubine De returned to the palace?"

A father-in-law behind him said in a low voice: "The concubine de concubine came back from visiting relatives this morning."

"Okay, okay, let's stop here today."

Zhou Yan chuckled, didn't say much, stopped asking questions, dressed neatly, and strode out with a sword in his hand.

Then he summoned the carriage and went straight to the emperor's harem.

The rest of the counselors summed up and sorted out today's countermeasures without any revisions, and planned to submit them directly to the emperor in the early morning of the morning—anyway, in the past few years, the emperor with the pure style of the ancients has never refused anything.

However, after one of them left the palace, he didn't go home immediately. Instead, he wrote down what he saw and heard today on a small note and sent it out with a pigeon.

Not long after, the pigeon landed in Cao's mansion.

"it's time."

Cao Yueying finished reading the words in the letter, and said to Liu Kaiwei in front of her: "This strategy can't be carried out at all, the capital will be in danger, and Hebei will be in chaos, we should return earlier to prepare, or we may be blocked in the capital and unable to leave if it is too late. "

Liu Kai said worriedly: "My lord, in this way, we will completely betray the imperial court."

"It's okay."

Cao Yueying smiled and said, "This is just a ship that is about to sink. It's best to leave. Besides, I also believe in the choice he made."

Liu Kai and Wei Tong knew who Cao Yueying was talking about as his choice, they looked at each other and didn't get entangled anymore.

at the same time.

On the south bank of the great river, in Yongxing City, a certain female general who had high hopes was also discussing the current situation with her subordinates.

For a long time, Fan Yingdao, who regarded himself as a military adviser:

"General, there are still Liu Tianwang in Chengshu Province, and the twelve rebel armies along the coast of the South China Sea. Even Song Youzhong's forces have not been completely wiped out. Once we cross the river and go north, we may be besieged from all sides. It will be difficult to care about. "

Lu Zibu, who had just joined, also advised: "Senior sister, if you want me to say, let's unify the whole south first, and then the northern expedition will not be too late."

Zhu Chongxiu shook his head slightly when he heard this, and said in a deep voice:

"Although the south is not unified, so is the north. I just got news that Ma Changping captured Taiyuan City. In the next six months, he will fight endlessly with the imperial court in Guanzhong. In addition, the rebels in Hebei are also showing signs of resurgence... ...."

Fan Ying asked: "The general wants to take advantage of the time when they are fighting?"

"It's a month or two later, but it won't wait for them to finish playing."

Zhu Chongxiu said: "Since ancient times, the world has been unified from north to south. If we stand still at this time and focus on cleaning up the backyard, and wait until the court and Ma Changping decide the outcome and re-pacify Hebei, I am afraid we will not be able to cross the river." .”

"On the contrary, Liu Tianwang of Chengshu has no ambitions, and we are in control of the main water routes out of the province. As long as we send a capable general to guard him, he is destined not to pose a threat to us."

"As for the Twelve Route Rebel Army and Song Youzhong's remaining troops in the south...they are already at loggerheads with each other, and have recently turned against Zheng Conglong. "

"Of course, these are just speculations."

Zhu Chongxiu said frankly: "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and many accidents may happen, but in my opinion, this is already the best opportunity for our Northern Expedition. Even if it fails, we must firmly control the two provinces in Jiangbei."

"General..."

"Military division, I also think the same as the general, the opportunity of the melee in the north must not be missed!"

Dong Hai below interjected: "Even if there is any accident, as long as we leave a few veterans in the south, it will be enough to handle it."

Under the insistence of Zhu Chongxiu and Dong Hai, Fan Ying and others finally chose to compromise.

In the following time, they discussed the general plan of the Northern Expedition together, and assigned each person's tasks.

But before the meeting ended, Fan Ying arched her hands and stopped talking.

When Zhu Chongxiu raised his eyebrows, he knew what the other party wanted to say, and said lightly: "Mr. Fan, I will continue to consider that matter."

Hearing this, Fan Ying stopped talking, but looking at his eyes, he was obviously not satisfied with this answer.

In any case, today's meeting ends here.

As the sun slanted to the west, Zhu Chongxiu left the mansion with only two followers and headed straight for Mino Garden outside the city.

When they were approaching, the two attendants felt dizzy, and one of them asked, "General, have we been here just now?"

"No, it's just that you have been under the illusion."

As Zhu Chongxiu said, he led the two of them to the side of the big tree at the door and said, "Stay here, watch the horses, and don't move around."

"Yes!"

Zhu Chongxiu walked into the garden alone, passed several bronze armored soldiers who bowed slightly to her, and came to the third courtyard.

As soon as she stepped through the arch, she saw one, ah no, it was three white foxes, smiling and limp on the respective thighs of Chen Youxi, Liu Shishi and Duguzhi.

Liu Shishi just quietly read an ancient bamboo slip, occasionally scratching the fox's back with her hands.

Chen Youxi was much more cheerful, teasing the fox's nose with a piece of dog's tail grass.

Only Dugu Zhi was scratching the fox's flesh with all her tender fingers, and while massaging, she asked with a smile, "Sir, is this here?"

"Ow~"

Zhu Chongxiu frowned slightly, not knowing who to envy for a moment.

She suddenly remembered the wine pool and meat forest described in the book...

"Cough cough!"

With the sound of coughing, Chen Youxi took the lead to say hello: "Sister Chongxiu is here~"

"Sisters, I have an important matter that I want to discuss with Brother Li alone."

Zhu Chongxiu's solemn expression surprised the three women. After a moment of hesitation, Liu Shishi let the fox go, stood up and said, "Call us in the East Wing after it's over."

"Thank you sisters for understanding."

Soon, there were only one fox and one girl left in the courtyard.

Zhu Chongxiu took out a jug of wine and a few dishes of side dishes from his arms, sat down on the stone table, and invited Li Cheng to come with him.

Li Cheng changed back into human form, and asked curiously, "Chongxiu, is there something important?"

"Very important."

Zhu Chongxiu swallowed a sip of wine, and said slowly: "I have already made up my mind to go to the Northern Expedition."

Li Cheng was not surprised by this news.

He blinked and asked, "So you're feeling a little nervous?"

"How can you not be nervous about military affairs?"

Zhu Chongxiu smiled wryly: "This time most people disagree with me, and their opinions are not unreasonable. If I fail, I will indeed be surrounded by all sides."

Li Cheng didn't know much about military matters.

But seeing that his good sister seemed a little anxious, he still smiled and put his hand on Zhu Chongxiu's head, and said softly: "Don't be afraid! You have come all the way by relying on your own ability. The more difficult it is, the more you have to believe in it." You are yourself."

After all, the prompts of the system can't be wrong!

"Pfft, Brother Li was joking, without you, I am nothing..."

As Zhu Chongxiu was talking, his face suddenly turned red.

Li Cheng felt something was wrong, my good sister usually doesn't drink so little!

He picked up the wine cup on the stone table, and when he was about to taste the pot of wine himself, Zhu Chongxiu grabbed his hand suddenly and stopped him.

"what?"

"Brother Li, you can't drink this wine, I brought it for myself!"

Ah, is this plausible?

Before Li Cheng was surprised, Zhu Chongxiu said again: "This wine contains the medicine that Sister Chen gave me. It was originally intended for you, but I think that's too secretive. It's better to be upright, so I drank it myself. , just to be bold, hee hee."

Hearing this, Li Cheng faintly felt that something was wrong.

However, Zhu Chongxiu firmly grasped Li Cheng's wrist, without stopping at all, and continued:

"Brother Li, do you know? Fan Ying and the others told me recently that for a country, heirs are very important. I am a woman, and I need to reassure my subjects..."

"Uh, so?"

"So, Brother Li, I have something to ask!"

Zhu Chongxiu blushed, closed her eyes, threw herself into Li Cheng's arms and said, "Brother Li, I like you!"

"I want to have a baby with you!"

Different from the past Ceng Ceng Tie Tie, my good sister chose to go straight to the point today.

Then Li Cheng was dumbfounded.

This progress is a little fast, right?Skipping class is wrong!

Children or something... You are still a half-grown child!

Subconsciously...

He pushed Zhu Chongxiu away.

Chapter 330 The Battle of Crossing the River

After being pushed away, Zhu Chongxiu was stunned for a moment, but then smiled lightly, not seeming surprised.
