Misty rain and heavy flowers accompany the king's return

De Wang received the news and thought about it for a long time. This is a full-scale war.

After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, he decided to make a move. Of course it was not treason, but to hold something in his hand.

So as soon as Shen Luo returned to Tianfang City, he received a letter from King De, one was for him and the other was for the imperial capital. The content of the letter was very simple. I'm weak, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it, I hope to ask for support.

This time it took ten days to go to that mountain pass, and it took less than ten days to go back and forth.

His return aroused Qingchen's joy, and when he arrived at the handsome mansion, Brother Lan and his wife also arrived a day earlier than him.

"Tired?" Qingchen took the cloak that Shen Luo had taken off: "I've boiled hot water for you all, go back and take a hot bath, change your clothes, and eat something."

Shen Luo nodded, went out for a few days and couldn't take a bath, went back to the mansion, took off his clothes and took a bath, Qingchen came to deliver his underwear and washed his hair.

"Did you eat something good at home?" Shen Luo closed his eyes, feeling the comfort of Qingchen's fingers running across his hair.

"Everything is fine at home, but you, Shitou, and brother Feng are all thin." Qingchen helped him water.

Shen Luo shook his ears lightly: "Is there?"

"Of course, the stone face has lost weight." Qing Chen said distressedly.

"What about me?" Shen Luo stood up and looked at himself.

Long Qingchen slapped him on the stomach: "Sit down quickly, don't get cold."

Shen Luo smiled and whispered, "Miss me?"

"You've become more and more bored recently. When we first got married, why weren't you so clingy to me?" Long Qingchen pinched his face and said with a smile.

Shen Luo bulged her cheeks, resisting Long Qingchen's fingers: "I was shy back then, but now I am getting more intimate."

"Are you still shy?" Long Qingchen couldn't help biting him, and was embraced by Shen Luo and kissed him twice.

After Shen Luo took a shower, two guests had already arrived, one was Zhuo Yifan, Lord Jingguo, and the other was Yun Mo who hadn't seen him for a long time.

"Teacher!" The two saluted together.

"Mr. Jing, please sit down. Brother Yun, please sit down." Shen Luo changed his clothes and put on a moon-white mang dragon robe. After taking a bath, he looked refreshed.

Xiao Shitou also ran over after taking a shower, and leaned against Shen Luo.

"Why did you come here, isn't it cold?" Shen Luo asked while hugging him.

"I have to come and learn something from my husband." After speaking, Shito saw Yun Mo: "Brother Yun Mo!"

"Okay!" Yun Mo smiled: "You have come to the northwest too!"

"Of course, I'm here to study with my husband." Xiao Shitou said happily.

"Are you comfortable after taking a bath?" Shen Luo asked.

"Of course, Ah, I washed a catty of dirt off!" Xiaoshi said with a pursed mouth.

"Haha!" Both Shen Luo and Zhuo Yifan were amused by him.

"You sit by the side and we discuss things." Shen Luo said.

"Oh!" Xiaoshi sat down obediently.

Zhuo Yifan was secretly surprised, of course he knew that this little stone was Shen Luo's disciple, and also a child given a surname by the emperor, he did not expect to be so favored by Shen Luo.

"Brother Shen, I have been in the northwest for several months, and I have nothing to do. Look, should I go back to the imperial capital, or arrange something to do?" Yun Mo said bluntly after suffering in the northwest. , and it doesn't matter whether Zhuo Yifan is happy or not.

Shen Luo's urgency towards him was not without surprise: "Brother Yun doesn't talk about this matter, I want you to come and discuss it. You see, there are two arrangements, you can see for yourself. One is the current crisis in the Southwest, I think To transfer an army of [-] troops to the southwest, we need a marching commander. This is an option. The other option is to return to the imperial capital and take orders again. Brother Yun, what do you think?"

When Yun Mo heard this, he was not interested in any trip to the southwest: "Why don't I go back to the imperial capital first, and if there are still assignments, I'll come again."

Shen Luo nodded: "That's fine. Brother Yun has been out for a few months, and I see that Yun Xiang is also very worried. That's fine. You can go back and talk about it. Good things don't happen in your busy schedule."

"Thank you, Brother Shen, then I'll go back and pack my things first, and I'll go back tomorrow." Yun Mo said happily.

Shen Luo nodded: "Come over to have a meal in the evening, and I'll practice it for you. In addition, Mr. Guo, I'm new to the Northwest and I'm not familiar with the local products. Please prepare some gifts for Master Yun for me, and let him bring them to the Northwest." My friend in the imperial capital, just tell me the money later."

Zhuo Yifan nodded: "Okay, my lord."

After Yun Mo left, Zhuo Yifan looked at his back and looked down on him from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't show it.

Shen Luo observed secretly, and felt that he should have a new understanding of this Duke Yasukuni.

"How is the bandit suppression going?" Shen Luo asked.

"It's all over. More than 4000 bandits have been arrested, and a large amount of goods and money have been found." Zhuo Yifan returned.

Shen Luo nodded.

"Teacher." Zhuo Yifan couldn't help but ask after thinking about it: "I heard that you won a big victory at that mountain pass a few days ago?"

"Yes, all 8 soldiers of the Tuya army on the opposite side were captured, and Arushan also died." Shen Luo said lightly.

Zhuo Yifan gasped: "It's amazing that they were completely wiped out."

"It's nothing, it's just an ambush."

Zhuo Yifan sighed in his heart, a big sigh, people are more angry than others, and he wiped out the main force of others in a few days, and said it was nothing.

"Right now, the Lanling Guards in Qingyang have already attacked. The entire west of the Luotong Plain is in flames of war. I have sent a message to King Tuna that the west of the Luotong Plain will belong to me, or we will start a war."

"What?" Zhuo Yifan almost jumped up: "Isn't it too much for you?"

"A little too arrogant, isn't it?" Shen Luo smiled: "Duke, you spent half your life in the Northwest, participated in the battle 20 years ago, and saw Lan Lingwei's record. I want to ask you, what do you think of the soil? What about the relationship with us Dafeng?"

"I've thought about this before. Tuna and us are like two people of the same size, with similar skills. But our Dafeng is stuck with their resources. Our country has a lot of resources. Tea and sea salt are their lifeblood. .And there are also porcelain and silk. They only have horses, and they dare not sell them to us.” Yasukuni smiled and said: “This is a natural and sworn enemy, so the First World War 20 years ago was inevitable, but at that time there were His Royal Highness Luo stepped forward and was invincible."

Shen Luo nodded: "What do you think of King Luo?"

Zhuo Yifan was taken aback, and lowered his head: "A generation of heroes is born at an untimely time."

"This is the truth." Shen Luo praised: "This hall likes to hear the truth."

"Your Excellency is absurd, this is a rebellious statement." Zhuo Yifan said tentatively.

Shen Luo smiled slightly, his signature smile was really not acceptable to ordinary people, for example, Zhuo Yifan in front of him couldn't guess Shen Luo's thoughts at all.

Of course, Shen Luo had his own purpose, but he had to say it sentence by sentence.

"Then what do you think of Tuna's comeback now? Of course, you can also say that I'm deliberately provoking trouble." Shen Luo said.

"No, no!" Zhuo Yifan waved his hand: "This is definitely not the Taifu who provoked the trouble, in fact, there have been clues to this before."

"Then why didn't you attack, but just sat and watched Yunmo and King Yue come on stage, how did King Yue die, do you understand?" Shen Luo asked straightforwardly.

"I know, this is the handwriting of the Taifu." Zhuo Yifan said: "Besides, I kept silent before, and there was a reason for it."

"Say!" Shen Luo looked into his eyes, not angry.

"One is because I know that I am not the overall commander of the Northwest War. I can be a general, but I am not a handsome talent." Zhuo Yifan said.

"So 20 years ago, it was true that you swore to fight to the death, but you grew up under the wings of the old Duke." Shen Luo said.

"Yes, my father is a hero of a generation, and he can judge the situation." Zhuo Yifan said.

Shen Luo nodded: "That's right, so I don't have too many twists and turns when talking to you, because you are a loyal family."

"Thank you, Taifu!" Zhuo Yifan felt a little stressed. The first Taifu who claimed to be the 'Honor' was really stressful.

Moreover, as a grand tutor, he is really a 'His Royal Highness', His Royal Highness Yu'ergan.

An unprecedented figure.

It is also the first No. 1 Taifu and Taiwei, who passed the throne and military power in hand.

"What about the second reason?" Shen Luo asked.

Zhuo Yifan replied: "I don't believe His Royal Highness Luo Wang is gone, so I want to try. Besides, even if we are fighting Tuna in the northwest, to be honest, who can ignore Qingyang, which has a population of 50 and cavalry of 15. Qingyang doesn't make a statement, whether the surname is Feng or Tu, or neutral, who dares to mess around."

"So you'd rather be honest than act rashly."

"Yes!" Zhuo Yifan said firmly, "I'd rather let Yun Changkong call me a coward than make fun of the Northwest Portal."

"I'm making things difficult for you." Shen Luo said in a rare way.

"So I don't think the Tuna people's comeback is an unexpected event. In fact, it is their plan. My family has fought with the Tuna people for almost 100 years. Tuna is actually more chaotic than us. They are separated from the three powers." .”

"Tell me in detail." Shen Luo raised his hand.

"The Tuna clan supports the Tuna royal family, but the Tata clan has been so powerful these years that they have long been unwilling to let others down. This is a fireball. The third force is their national teacher. Do you believe it, my lord? Maya, He is not very human, I dare not compare it to the Holy Lord of Tianyin Pavilion, the Holy Lord is a god, but Maya must be a saint." Zhuo Yifan said.

"What do you think of him retreating?"

"No one can guess Maya's heart, but there is one thing. The 4000 million people in Tuna are all Shenhuo believers. Maya's status, hmph, is no different from a god. He is not like our Tianyin Pavilion Lord, Not known to the world."

Shen Luo frowned, it seemed that he had to think about this Maya national teacher.

Shen Luo took out King De's memorial from his side and handed it to Zhuo Yifan.

Zhuo Yifan took it and read it, frowning deeply.

"What do you think?" Shen Luo asked.

Zhuo Yifan hesitated for a while.

"Just say what you have to say, I'm not a mountain top." Shen Luo said: "I represent the supremacy of imperial power."

"Yes!" Zhuo Yifan put down the memorial: "King De's mind is impure!"

"how to say?"

"The Tuna army in the southwest is not strong, it is the territory of ethnic minorities. The Tuna people don't pay much attention to it. It is guarded by [-] cavalry. It is a gateway to the Luotong Plain. Behind it is the third largest city in Tuna, with heavy troops. Guard. But if they want to fight the southwest, not to mention the terrain, they are not sure. There are many rivers in the southwest, and the geography is complicated. Don't say that the Tuna cavalry can't be used, even when we founded the country, it was the last to fight here. What did Emperor Tianfeng say? The characters are all three-time conscripts!"

Shen Luo nodded: "I've thought about it too, but King De is calling you poor, and intends to control the Southwest. If you advance, you can stand on your own feet, and if you retreat, you can protect yourself."

"Can't we call him back?" Zhuo Yifan said.

Shen Luo curled up his lips and shook his head: "He is guarding the southwest as a prince, and I am guarding the northwest as the Taifu. Prince Qi is going to guard the north after the road is built. There are three important places and three important dignitaries. Attitude is also a demonstration."

"But the main battlefield is still our northwest. The west of the Luotong Plain is the best place for a decisive battle. If Tuna loses, we will go straight to the capital. If we lose, the northwest and Qingyang will be lost. It's all been a decisive battle." Zhuo Yifan said.

"You understand this truth, I understand it, and the emperor understands it. Everyone in Tuna understands it. This is the crux of the matter. The decisive battle is the decisive battle. You forgot that 20 years ago, the emperor restrained the other two roads. 20 people, restrained The Tuna people have an army of 40, how many good opportunities has this created for the success of the First World War in the Northwest?" Shen Luo asked.

"So what does your lord mean?" Zhuo Yifan asked.

"Lan Lingwei has already taken the initiative to attack. At present, the northwest is a scene in the eyes of the Tuna people. We are united with Lan Lingwei and are fighting them with all our strength." Shen Luo said.

Zhuo Yifan nodded: "Does your lord mean that internal troubles are more serious than external troubles?"

"As you said, civil strife in Tuna is coming, and the three powers will be separated." Shen Luo tapped on the armrest of the chair: "Even though I, Dafeng, do not have a crown prince, the people of Tuna know that in the past 20 years, our country's strength has grown. They choose this time to attack our country, will they be aimless?"

"Your Excellency, what do you mean? Tuna seeks peace through war?" Zhuo Yifan reflected.

"That's what I mean too, to seek peace through war. They want to tear open a hole in our country, and they even don't hesitate to instigate the prince to split Dafeng. Why don't I want to divide the west of Luoluo Plain and the north of Tuna into several countries as our country? Barrier." Shen Luo spoke out his strategic plan.

"So what your lord means is that fighting is not the purpose, but the purpose is to support Tuna's opponents." Zhuo Yifan nodded.

Shen Luo looked at him: "At the same time, the internal poison must be eliminated to ensure an orderly inheritance of the throne."

Zhuo Yifan nodded again: "Your Excellency's mind is really admirable. He is worthy of being the candidate for the Taifu. He has a far-sighted vision and can guess the change of Tuna's mind."

"So, although the Southwest is not in danger of being breached right now, to put it bluntly, even if something happens to the Southwest, it's not a big deal to us." Shen Luo said.

Zhuo Yifan's eyes lit up: "The one who is in danger is King De?"

"Well, he shouted danger because after I won, he wanted to gain some political capital, even military capital for himself." Shen Luo said sharply.

"What if our general doesn't listen to him?" Zhuo Yifan asked.

Shen Luo looked at him: "He is an old fox, a general with no qualifications and no ability, he is not his opponent."

"I'll go!" Zhuo Yifan said firmly: "I have been guarding the northwest for more than 20 years, and I am willing to go and have a look."

Shen Luo secretly heaved a sigh of relief, finally achieved his goal.
