Zhong Roulan immediately looked at Zhong Jue who was standing on the top of the city with a complicated expression, and thought to herself: "Old fox! It turns out that your method is here, no wonder you are willing to give up the position of Dongyang City Lord."

Tang Yuan, who was ready to attack, was confused now. Why did Zhong Jue appear in Chuzhou? What was even more confusing was when he captured Chuzhou. The confused Tang Yuan looked at Zhong Roulan,

Looking at Zhong Jue upstairs, he was at a loss for a while.

Zhong Roulan saw Tang Yuan's embarrassment and whispered: "Let the army enter the city, Chuzhou is still ours."

Zhong Roulan dismounted and moved to the city tower. She bowed to Zhong Jue in a polite manner and said with an unhappy look on her face: "Isn't your old man retired? Why are you interested in stealing your daughter's job?"

Zhong Jue stood up and walked to Zhong Roulan, caressing her head lovingly, and said sheepishly: "Xiao Huli has been eyeing Chuzhou for a long time. He sent troops after learning about the exchange between Zhuo and Fan Lihu a month ago.

From Pinghai to Zhenhai Port, you know that Zhenhai Port is my private territory and not even Zhong Fan can interfere with it."

"So you have known about the alliance between the Zhuo family and the imperial court for a long time? You just watched Luling be destroyed? And Meng Yan is also in your plan?" Zhong Roulan felt that she had been plotted,

Xiao Yu and Meng Yan were also thrown into the chess game early by these two old foxes.

"There is no plot against you," Zhong Jue shouted. "If Xiao Yu hadn't held Fan Lihu back in Luling, how could we have had so much time to transport the soldiers? If Meng Yan hadn't interfered in Xingtan, how could we have diverted the court's attention?

Of course, without you and Zhong Fan’s constant hostility, how can we divert Chuzhou’s attention to the north? You two are indispensable."

This is bullshit. They are purely comforting words. Zhong Roulan sat down on Zhong Jue's seat, poured a handful of Chuzhou sour plums into her mouth, her face was so sour that she was distorted, and she still couldn't relieve her anger.

"What if Xiao Yu is killed by Fan Lihu? What if Meng Yan fails to capture Shaoling? What if Zhong Fan and I don't move?"

"Son, what we want is time. The time was ripe on the day Xia Houying left Yujun. The reason why he didn't occupy Chuzhou immediately was because of the danger in Luling. Did you know that Xiao Huli's dead men were on the shore that day, so he said

Xiao Yu can escape no matter what, do you understand?" Zhong Jue patiently explained to Zhong Roulan that he didn't want to alienate Zhong Roulan from him because of this incident. After all, Zhong Roulan was in his plan.

He is the successor.

"Old man, did you start planning with Xiao Huli when you gave up the lord of Dongyang City? A group of us pride ourselves on being smart, but we are toyed with and applauded by you!" Although Zhong Roulan was angry, she felt very guilty in her heart.

, when you think you have a seamless plan but it is actually just a chess piece in the hands of others. They have already decided which path you should take, and they are just waiting for you to get into it.

"You have done a great job. Many things were unexpected. Xiao Yu was able to withstand the hard battle in Luling, and Meng Yan easily defeated Shaoling." He said, looking at Tang Yuan who was still confused below, "and this guy we

No matter how many discounts Dongyang City offers him, he can't be taken under its banner. Instead, you make him loyal to you. These are not in our plan. You are growing too fast."

"Wait a minute! Old man, you don't include Yang Boqin, right?" Zhong Roulan stringed together everything that happened before and after in her mind, and found that Yang Boqin was a key figure that could not be missing no matter what.

"Hahaha! As expected of me, Zhong Jue's daughter, she's right. Yes, Yang Boqin, Xiao Huli and me, the three of us have reached an agreement a long time ago. Yang Boqin did it deliberately to betray Meng Yan.

It is indeed part of the plan for the two of them to rush to Dongyang City." Zhong Jue's hearty laughter felt very harsh to Zhong Roulan, more like a mockery.

"Is Fan Lihu dead?" Zhong Roulan decided to collapse directly. It was too embarrassing.

"He can't die yet." Zhong Jue's words were like thunder. Zhong Roulan had already closed her eyes, but she immediately stood up again. She had already chased the dog into the alley. At this time,

Give him a chance to breathe, isn't this a recipe for disaster?

"What do you want to do?! What's the use of keeping Fan Lihu? How long will it take if we don't take the opportunity to capture Jinzhou?!" Zhong Roulan's voice became louder and louder.

Zhong Jue patted her shoulder to help her calm down, and then said slowly: "We originally wanted to take the opportunity to capture Jinzhou and force the Sun family to bow, but recently we found that something seems wrong. First, the imperial decree no longer comes from

Most of the people in Gongcheng and Nange came from Beiya. Yuan Changli may have taken control of Luochen City, and the agreement between him and us is gradually invalidating; secondly, the Cui family of Jiuqu and the Changsun family are very close, and they use it to cultivate literature.

The world-famous Cui family seems to have become more and more powerful in the military in recent years. It has resisted the attacks of the Taishi family several times. Some people have seen the eldest grandson Ziyang in the Cui family's army; the three powers of Han Liangben were against

We are suing for peace, and now we are gradually turning against us. Our goods in Dongyang City have been attacked many times in Shaohai, and both men and ships have been lost. Quan Hanliang, who is supposed to protect us, has been unusually cold. He has been with us in recent years.

The East China Sea is very close."

"So in order to achieve a temporary delicate balance, Fan Lihu must go to Jinzhou alive and force him to make a choice, right?" Zhong Roulan analyzed the key.

Zhong Jue did not object, and was very surprised by Zhong Roulan's opinion. She perfectly summarized such a complicated situation with a "balance". Her experience in the southern border has indeed improved a lot in the past few years.

"Lan'er, don't always let father say it. Father also wants to hear your thoughts."

Zhong Roulan hesitated for a moment, then tilted her head and held her chin and said with a cute and innocent attitude: "Old man, Luochen City may have been controlled by Yuan Changli as early as the second sister's wedding. Don't you think Yin Qingdao's

Is it strange that Ma Tong died during the war? After Ma Tong died, Duan Wan immediately transferred him to the governor of Luzhou. However, Shi Ying, the commander of Ma Tong's pro-army army, rebelled and joined Meng Yan in the Battle of Shaoling. How about Shi Ying's response to Ma Tong?

How can loyalty revolt so easily?"

"Didn't Meng Yan tell you the link? Didn't Suli tell you either?" Zhong Jue asked rhetorically.

"No, my second brother always refuses to tell unless you ask. As for Suli, who is already the envoy of Mengyan Mingjian Division, can I still ask?" Zhong Roulan suddenly flashed her eyes with a playful expression.

Zhong Jue looked slightly embarrassed, "Father thought that Suli was the eye you buried next to Meng Yan. To say this means that father is narrow-minded."

Zhong Roulan looked disdainful, "I am a little ashamed of my second brother. I only have one intention in leaving Suli with him. Suli is my sister. She will always be a maid by my side. If I stay in Xiao

Yu Na is just a female official at most, and next to her second brother, he will treat Suli as his younger sister."

Hearing what Zhong Roulan said, Zhong Jue felt a little pity for Suli, but he still understood his daughter's thoughts. Suli had grown up with her since she was a child, and spent more time with her than with his two sisters.

It's not that he didn't know Zhong Roulan secretly taught Suli the "Water Avoidance Technique", but he just didn't want to ask about it. After all, he owed more than kindness to his three daughters.

"What do you think of the Cui family and the Changsun family?" Zhong Jue didn't want to stay in the quagmire of self-blame anymore and decisively changed the subject.

"I don't know. The two families can understand together but they don't seem to understand." Zhong Roulan answered simply.

"That's right. Being a father feels the same way. What about Quan Hanliang?"

"Quan Hanliang wants to dominate the Northern Territory. The Beimu royal family has a big feud with the Quan family. The Northern Territory is barren. If he wants to grow bigger, he must have allies. Donghai is his best choice. However, although Quan Hanliang is ambitious,

, but they still have conscience, at least people from the East China Sea cannot set foot on the Central Plains." Zhong Roulan was confident.

"Lan'er, according to you, who is our most important enemy at the moment?" Zhong Jue was very satisfied with his daughter's analysis and was even more convinced that the future of the Zhong family would rest on her.

"Yuan Changli, since this guy took the position of General Beiya, he has bribed many people to work for him. Duan Wan is one, Cao Li, Feng You are the same. Nangong Buqiying is his biggest helper in controlling the situation of the court.

There is also a military advisor like Xu Shaoting. Once he is allowed to sit firmly in the hinterland of the Central Plains, no one will have a good life. He has only one method, work hard for him and die if you don't obey. It is very simple but very practical." Zhong Roulan said to Yuan

Changli's senses are not good, he has too much desire for power.

Zhong Jue sighed, "If you three sisters were boys, I would risk my life to find a way for you in this world." Zhong Jue was a little disappointed. This world still cannot allow a woman to be the master of the family.

"Old man, what are you doing? Our three sisters are living well now. The eldest sister has no worries about food and clothing. The second sister has stabilized the Chen Kingdom and will be the future mother of the country. As for me, you don't have to worry about me. With you, I have two sisters.

Coupled with the two cheap brothers, who do you think can touch me or dare to mess with me in this world?" Zhong Roulan said these words in a domineering tone.

"Hahaha! Okay, that's right! Let's stop worrying about my father. That's enough. We've almost finished chatting. I'll return to Dongyang tomorrow, and I'll leave this state to you." The worries in Zhong Jue's heart at this moment were somewhat obscured.

Zhong Roulan felt relieved a lot. After saying that, she stood up and prepared to leave. The world of young people should be left to their own devices.

He suddenly stopped after taking a few steps, turned around and said: "By the way, Lan'er, tomorrow our Dongyang City will officially join the Chen Dynasty. Xiao Huli gave me the title of Dongyang County King, and I will be in charge of Dongyang, with a total of seven states.

In the 19th county, there is a Zhendong Governor's Office, which has jurisdiction over two armies. One is the Zhendong Army. I have already informed Zhong Fan that the Zhendong Army is mainly based on the old Dongyang City troops. I will not touch him. The other is the Qing Dynasty Army.

Luan Jun, I asked for it specifically for you. As for who should be the military governor, I think the guy below is pretty good."

"Thank you very much, father. Yes, you also have to thank my second brother-in-law." Zhong Roulan suddenly remembered something and asked, "Didn't the second brother-in-law give me and brother Zhong Fan a title?"

"Ghost girl, here you go, Zhong Fan has been conferred the title of Marquis of Kuaiji County. You, Princess Chenyang, this is what your second sister wants. No matter who you are, the envoy of the Qingluan Army, you will be the Marquis of Pingyang County. When the time comes, you will be the Marquis of Pingyang County."

Just report it." Zhong Jue had a loving look on his face.

"Father, please go away slowly, my daughter will not be sent away." Zhong Roulan suddenly addressed Zhong Jue as "Father", which surprised him as he was not used to this kind of title.

"Ghost girl, remember you are a woman, it is inevitable to get married and start a family, don't rush to the front, understand?" Zhong Jue was still worried and continued to nag.

Zhong Roulan looked at Zhong Jue's leaving figure, and suddenly felt that her father was much older. The father's arms in her memory were always the most generous and strong, but now her father had half of his hair white, and Zhong Jue's back was about to disappear.

At that moment, Zhong Roulan finally couldn't bear it, and quickly chased after her father, hugged her father from behind and said softly: "Father, do you still remember Empress Zhaohua?" Zhong Jue moved and said in a low voice: "If you dare to think about it, father will do it for you.

You clear all obstacles!"

Zhong Roulan smiled, with tears in her smile, rubbed Zhong Jue's back, and said with some sobs: "You should be your King of Dongyang County. Who wants you to go out to kill people at your age? How can you

Do you know that Chenyang is not as good as Zhaoyang?"

"Ghost clever!"
