Lu Ruohan smiled, stretched his arms over the square table, and patted Chu Junlan's back of his hand comfortably: "Don't worry, I do have a message to tell you, but it's not too serious."

Chu Junlan nodded, his face becoming solemn.

Although she and Lu Ruohan are close friends, their daily relationships are controlled due to their identity and the different backgrounds of the two families. It is not easy for them to invite each other to chat on weekdays, let alone invite her to the house like this? Today, Lu Ruohan must have been instructed to send a post to invite her, perhaps the reason why Lu Ruohan is about to say something.

Lu Ruohan said: "As the saying goes, before the troops move, food and grass take the lead. Every time the court wants to use troops and publicize the news, you must do something first. You also know what my father does. My father always gets the news first when he dispatches troops."

"But my uncle got the news of sending food and grass?" After thinking for a moment, Chu Junlan said in surprise, "Is it because the court intends to use troops against the Northern Yuan?"

Lu Ruohan nodded in approval: "I know you are smart. The emperor is a wise ruler. If our Da Yong Dynasty is really not strong and is threatened by a barbarian like the Northern Yuan Dynasty, he will suffer losses for the sake of the stability of the people of the country."

"But the Great Yong Dynasty was a prosperous era and the country was strong." Chu Junlan recalled the events that day. The emperor pinched his nose to welcome the envoys of the Northern Yuan to Beijing, and pinched his nose to grant Borno the "Grandmaster of the Grassland". In order to "master battle" or "master peace", Chu Hua even fought with King Gongding, who was also confined and punished...

Chu Junlan was thinking a lot and suddenly realized: "It turns out that the emperor was doing it on purpose and deliberately making a show! At that time, Borno had 100,000 soldiers. Although we could win head-on, it would be more laborious. Now Borno was full of complacent and relaxed his guard. Both the two parts they united together became a mess. It was a good time to win it!"

"Jun Lan, you are so smart. My father and Wan Song told me and talked about this matter. I slowly figured it out and you understood it at one point!" Lu Ruohan nodded repeatedly and sighed, "You are right. The emperor will not be willing to be bullied by the people of Beiyuan. Everything was because Mr. Ye from the eldest princess' mansion gave the emperor a plan."

"Young Master Ye?" Chu Junlan was surprised.

"Yes," Lu Ruohan's smile was full of praise, "Young Master Ye is worthy of being the son of the top scholar. Not only is he aware of his talent, but he is also proficient in military arts and tricks. At that time, the main battle was the beginning of his plan. The emperor agreed to give Borno the title of "Group of the Grassland" and ordered people to leave Beijing Xuan with the Northern Yuan envoy."

The Northern Yuan envoy had long left with Xuan's imperial envoy. Now Borno should have received the order.

Lu Ruohan said: "While the Emperor conferred Borno as the co-owner of the grassland, he also conferred Lord Kong Xunkong as the co-owner of the grassland. Do you think this is interesting or not?"

"Master Kong?" Chu Junlan smiled shyly, "Ruohan, I am ignorant and don't know who Master Kong is."

"You can't blame me for this. This Lord Kong has been in the Northern Yuan Dynasty for more than ten years. I also learned his name from my father."

Lu Ruohan said: "Look at Borno, now he is capable of unifying the Northern Yuan Dynasty. When the Emperor was in power, he was only a member of a small tribe in the east. The other tribes were beaten to retreat step by step. There was no place to hide, so he hid under the city wall outside our Yanping Pass. Where did he camp and grazing, he made the city walls everywhere. The feces of livestock were everywhere outside our city walls, and the smell was so stenched in the summer."

Chu Junlan thought about the scene and couldn't help laughing: "He has a way, too."

"Yes, he intended to ask for help, but the emperor and the ministers at that time both suffered difficulties. Some advocated driving people away, and some advocated taking them in. At that time, Ye Zhuangyuan and his friend Kong Xun offered a suggestion to the emperor. They neither beat or chased, but arranged for people to support Borno's tribe."

Chu Junlan immediately understood.

"So that's it. Supporting Borno will give him enough strength to compete with the other tribes. In this way, the internal chaos within the Northern Yuan Dynasty will naturally be in chaos, and the east wind will not overwhelm the west wind. If they are in chaos, our border will naturally be stable."

"Yes, you are really smart," Lu Ruohan nodded, "That's it. The strategy was adopted at that time and it was actually implemented a few years later. Not only did the emperor support Borno's army, he also arranged a military advisor, which was actually for monitoring Borno. At that time, Ye Zhuangyuan disappeared, and the emperor sent Lord Kong to the Northern Yuan."

"Now Borno asked to be named the 'Grassland Co-lord', the emperor agreed, but instead he enfeoffed Lord Kong and became the 'Grassland Co-lord'. Two of these titles came out at once. Borno's intention to dominate was to fail. Now he was in conflict with Lord Kong's power, and the Northern Yuan Dynasty was in internal friction and could not take care of himself. This was the best time for us to 'pacify the rebellion'."

Chu Junlan nodded and couldn't help but feel a little moved.

The idea of ​​supporting Borno was made by Ye Zhao, but now the idea of ​​cheating Borno was made by Ye Yijian. The two of them are really "bad" in line with each other.

Lu Ruohan said: "Your father presented the prince and princess from the western part of the Northern Yuan Dynasty to the emperor. This is the east wind of this matter. Now everything is ready. The east wind is strong, and it is a good time to start the war."

Lu Ruohan said this, and his tone paused, approached Chu Junlan and whispered: "I heard from my father that the emperor is willing to respect the king to take charge of the war. Do you think, respect the king to go to war, how should you marry the prince and worship the high house? The marriage will naturally be postponed."

"So that's it." Chu Junlan knew it, but he was still confused.

Lu Ruohan’s invitation today does not seem to be just to tell her the news.

She said this, and there were other intentions.

She seemed to mention Duke Ding several times in her words. In other words, when we met today, it was instructed by Duke Ding. Lu Ruohan told her that the news was all what Duke Ding wanted to tell her.

She is a little woman, what did Duke Ding tell her about these things?

The person he really wants to reveal the news should be Chu Hua!

Thinking of this, Chu Junlan suddenly felt enlightened. It seemed that the communication between her and women like Lu Ruohan was actually used to convey messages. This was the same as the familiar things she had lurked in her previous life.

Chu Junlan smiled with a little self-deprecating smile. It seems that it is not easy to live simply in life. She is too naive and always wants to live a life of will, but she doesn't expect that these calculations will be indispensable everywhere.

Chu Junlan and Lu Ruohan had talked about serious matters before they started talking privately. When it was time, Chu Junlan smiled and said, "Ruohan, I'm going to say goodbye. My brother is coming to pick me up today, so it's not easy for him to wait for a long time."

"Your brother?" Lu Ruohan raised her eyes, her eyes slightly clear.

Chu Junlan said frankly and handed over the choice to Lu Ruohan: "It's my brother Zhan, do you want to go out and send me off?"
