Chapter 41: The Heart of the Beauty

"Mother, what were you talking about?" Zhou Yang saw Xu Ru's surprise look in his eyes. He was helpless. It was really speechless to have such a mother. I wanted to have a lot of children and grandchildren, so I couldn't do this.

"Look, you're blushing. You dare not act like this. Humph!" The joke on Princess Nangong's face became even stronger, and her wonderful eyes were full of teasing.

"You can really tell me." Zhou Yang took out the fresh fruit and smiled and said, "Do you like it?"

"Fresh fruit!" The teasing and teasing in Princess Nangong's eyes disappeared. She stretched out her white plain hand and snatched the plum from Zhou Yang's hand, put it in front of the delicate Yao nose and sniffed it. She narrowed her eyes very much, looking intoxicated: "It smells so fragrant! What a fresh plum, I picked it!"

"Wow!" Zhang Ling'er exaggeratedly and rushed up like a flying man, grabbed a handful of Li Yatao from the package and held it in her hand, looked at it, and smiled so hard that her mouth could be closed, and her beautiful eyes were narrowed to a small slit.

"Really!" Xu Ru picked up a peach and sniffed it a little. The smile on her face was layered layer after layer, as if it was more tempting than seeing the delicacies of mountains and seas.

Women have a special love for fruits, and Zhou Yang once again saw the fragile side of women.

"Is it delicious?" Princess Nangong no longer had the princess's reserve. She opened her mouth and was about to chew it. Zhou Yang stretched out his hand and hurriedly grabbed it, saying, "I haven't washed it yet."

"Wash?" Princess Nangong seemed to have heard this word for the first time in her life, using a strange tone. She blinked her eyes twice before she suddenly realized: "Oh! Then I'll go wash."

"What are you going to wash? I'll go! Sit quickly and don't move!" Zhou Yang said seriously.

"Yes!" Princess Nangong responded gently and sat down as she said.

"Yang'er, please accompany them to wash for your mother." Xu Ru picked up the fresh fruit and said, "It's so heavy! Yang'er, please don't let them walk around."

"I know, mother!" Princess Nangong and Zhang Ling'er responded in unison.

Xu Ru left with fresh fruit in satisfaction, but she didn't know that Princess Nangong and Zhang Ling'er looked at her back and complained: "My mother is really, she doesn't allow us to walk around, it's like she's in jail."

People always need to exercise, and pregnant women are no exception. However, Xu Ru was afraid of getting angry, so she could not remind them. This was a contradiction. Zhou Yang could not reconcile and said with a smile: "It's not for the sake of the children, so you can bear it."

"I know my mother is kind!" Princess Nangong's eyes turned, as if she was thinking of a huge problem, and her voice was a little high: "Where did you find fresh fruit? Is there a lot? Is there any?"

Before I could eat it, I thought about saving overnight food. What a good princess, after getting pregnant, she became a mouse, and always thought about saving some overnight food.

"In an unknown place." The matter of the Mo Family General Academy is a secret, and the court does not allow the rumor. Zhou Yang cannot tell the story to Princess Nangong: "There are still some, I will pick it for you after you finish eating."

"Is it far? If it's far, you don't have to pick it." Zhang Ling'er looked at Zhou Yang very lovingly, and the tenderness of like water surged out of her wonderful eyes.

"Although I think the more, the better, you can't suffer too much." Princess Nangong was a little unwilling to say, but she was filled with deep affection.

"Don't worry!" Zhou Yang was very pleased with the words of the two girls: "Your husband is a general, and he doesn't frown in the swords and swords. Why should you take a mere thing to heart?"

"Here! Come!" Xu Ru floated over like the wind, and a plate in her hand filled with washed fruits.

"Wow!" When Princess Nangong and Zhang Ling'er saw it, a long list of beautiful little stars appeared in their eyes, screaming exaggeratedly, regardless of their image, their necks stretched out, and they wished they could take longer hands and snatch them.

Looking at the indecent images of the two girls, Zhou Yang was a little helpless. The pregnant woman could not judge it with common sense, so they could not.

Zhou Yang did not allow Ru to put it down, so he grabbed a handful of Li, stuffed one into Princess Nangong's mouth, and the other into Zhang Ling'er's mouth. If Zhou Yang did this in the past, they would be shy and even say a few words of refusal, but today it seemed as if it were natural and opened their mouths and continued.

That's not all. The two women stood up while whispering hard, wishing they could hold the plate in their hands, staring at the plate in their eyes, shining brighter, brighter than the sun in the sky.

"Slow down, slow down, don't be anxious, there is something else." Xu Ru hurriedly reminded.

The two girls didn’t care about talking, just eat hard.

"Young Master, Nie Yi is here." Liu Tie reported outside the room.

"Okay! I'm about to look for him." Zhou Yang stood up and told his two girls: "Don't eat too much."

"Yeah!" The two women nodded, but didn't count. They ate one after another. Zhou Yang shook his head helplessly and left.

When he arrived at the lobby, he saw Nie Yi kneeling on a short table and having tea. When he saw Zhou Yang coming in, Nie Yi hurriedly stood up and greeted Zhou Yang: "I have met the Grand Marshal!"

"Sit! Sit!" Zhou Yang called Nie Yi to sit down, knelt across from Nie Yi, and looked at Nie Yi.

Nowadays, Nie Yi is more mature and experienced than when he first met, and is more like a businessman. If someone who doesn't understand his background will definitely regard him as a real businessman, not a spy.

"Are there any movement in the Huns?" Zhou Yang went straight to the point.

"Report to the Grand Commander, the Huns are now arguing endlessly about whether to fight or retreat to avoid the Han Dynasty's edge." Nie Yi pondered for a brief moment and reported loudly about the situation of the Huns: "After the Battle of Donghu, the Bank of China made an idea and asked the Huns to avoid the Han Dynasty's edge, abandon the Longcheng, and not confront the Han Dynasty head-on."

"The Bank of China said it is good ingenuity, which is a good strategy. It's a pity that it's difficult to do it." Zhou Yang nodded slightly.

"What the Grand General said is very true." Nie Yizan said, and then said, "At the beginning, the Xiongnu Chanyu highly praised this strategy. However, not long after, the Western Qiang sent a message that he was unwilling to form an alliance with the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu's idea of ​​using the Western Qiang to restrain the Han Dynasty could not be realized, which surprised the Shanyu. What really made the Huns argue was the Han after the Han Dynasty was posing as if he wanted to attack the Hetao land. The importance of the Hetao land was self-evident to the Huns. If the Han Dynasty took over the Hetao land, even if the Huns fled far away, it would be useless. Therefore, the Xiongnu Chanyu summoned the ministers to discuss every day, but now there was no way out. Even the Central Bank said that this eunuch was helpless and had no choice."

"Master General, your plan has hit the vital points of the Huns." Nie Yi gave a thumbs up and praised Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang smiled humbly: "It's not only that I think so, but also that the second uncle and the prince think so. As long as the great man takes over the Hetao land and lets the Huns escape far away, even if they escape to Mobei, it will be useless."

After a brief pause, the tone of voice suddenly turned high: "Of course, we will not allow the Huns to escape from the north of the Moon and force the Huns to fight the Han in the south of the Moon. This will be of benefit to the Han Dynasty without any harm."

"The Grand Marshal said it." Nie Yi deeply agreed: "If the Huns fled to the north of Mobei, even if they use the strength of the Han Dynasty, the good at fighting, and the ability of the general to use military force, it will be difficult to chase into the north of Mobei. Not to mention anything else, just crossing the desert is a huge problem. In addition, there is also the problem of transportation of food and grass, which is even more difficult to solve."

If you really want to chase the Mobei and fight the Huns to the decisive battle, even if Zhou Yang creates new military rations, it will still not be enough to support the Han army's operations. It is an extremely heavy burden to mobilize a large number of civilians to transport grain.

"The benefits of retreating to the north of Mobei are very obvious. Will the Huns retreat?" Nie Yi was very worried.

"I have thought about this question repeatedly, and it probably won't." Zhou Yang thought about it.

"Why?" Nie Yi asked hurriedly.

"There are a few reasons for this." Zhou Yang began to analyze: "First, the south of the desert is warm and there are many plump grasslands. Although the north of the desert can avoid the edge of the Han Dynasty, it is a bitter and cold place. There is not much time for grazing throughout the year. Even if the Shanyu wanted to go far away from the north of the desert, the people of the Xiongnu would not agree, unless the Han army was approaching, the Xiongnu were afraid and had to flee north."

Nie Yi nodded slightly, and Zhou Yang snorted coldly, "Hmph! If the Han army really is about to be over, how can he let him escape?"

Once the Han army takes action, it will definitely cut off the retreat of the Huns and prevent the Huns from escaping north. This is the top priority, and the Huns will not have the chance to escape far away.

"The second is that the Huns go far away from the northern part of the Mobei region without fighting. The Han Dynasty can take over the Hetao land, the Hexi Corridor, and the Western Regions without bloodshed. Without these places, the Huns' army will lose its meaning even if it is still there. If the army is more important to the land, but without these land, where will the Huns grazing? How can they shepherd cattle and sheep enough for the Huns to eat?" Zhou Yang's analysis made a very reasonable point.

"What the General is saying is reasonable, but I heard from the Huns that there is a vast sea north of Wolf House Mountain. There is a large area of ​​uninhabited land to be grazed. If the Huns retreat to the north of the Moon without fighting, the Huns may not have no cattle and sheep." Nie Yi reminded Zhou Yang in a tactful way.

To the north of the vast sea is the famous Siberia, which is a world-famous barren land, and is extremely cold. Zhou Yang was not worried at all that the Huns would go to Siberia.

Siberia is cold and will not go unless the Huns are desperate. Even if the Shanyu retreated to the north of Mobei without fighting, the Huns missed the plump land of the southern part of Mobei, how long can they stay in Mobei?

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Zhou Yang said with great certainty: "It's too cold there. Even with the cold resistance of the Huns, it can't stand it."

Everyone on earth knows how cold Siberia is, and this is still in modern society and global warming. In the Han Dynasty, Siberia was even colder. If the Huns went there, the severe cold would freeze countless times, and there was no need for the Han army to be dispatched. Zhou Yang was unable to seek it.

Zhou Yang was so sure that Nie Yi stopped talking.

"You must keep a close eye on the Huns and report it immediately whenever there is any abnormal movement." Zhou Yang's face turned solemn and he said in a deep voice.

Nie Yi was furious and said, "Okay!"

Zhou Yang and Nie Yi had a detailed talk. Nie Yi had a good reputation among the Huns. The Huns were willing to do business with him, and even the Junchen Shanyu knew his name.

"If you have the chance, you might as well make some clever words when you meet Shanyu." Zhou Yang's heart was shocked. This was a huge opportunity.

"No!" Nie Yi of course understood that the benefit of bewitching Shanyu was a big boost.

The two of them talked for nearly an hour before Nie Yi left. Looking at Nie Yi's back, Zhou Yangda was excited. This famous spy in Chinese history was indeed extraordinary. Even Shanyu knew his name. Will there be another "Mayi Incident" or something like that?

If something like the Mayi Incident really happened, the Huns would suffer heavy casualties. You must know that Zhou Yang was not the one who had no courage.

After seeing Nie Yi off, Zhou Yang returned to the house. Princess Nangong and Zhang Linger looked at Xu Ru with pitiful looks, and were very surprised: "What's wrong with you?"

"Yang'er, you..." Xu Ru was very angry: "What are you doing? You actually made fresh fruits. Look at the two of them, how much they ate, and they didn't eat any more food, just eat fruits. Can this work?"

"My mother, I'll only eat a few." Princess Nangong and Zhang Ling'er were busy defying.

"A few more? Look at it." Xu Ru was very angry and took out the fruit core. When Zhou Yang saw it, he was shocked. There was a whole plate, how could they eat it?

"Can't eat it anymore! Can't eat it anymore!" Zhou Yang's face sank.

Pregnant women are good for fruits, but they cannot eat them all. They always need to eat them. Otherwise, if the nutrition cannot keep up, it will not be beneficial to the child. No wonder Xu Ru is very angry.

"I'll put it away first and want to eat, I have permission." Xu Ru went angrily regardless of Princess Nangong and Zhang Ling'er's begging.

"Don't just think about fruits. You have to eat rice. This will be beneficial to the children." Zhou Yang had no choice but to comfort the two girls.

After much persuasion, he finally comforted the two girls with a smile on his face.

"We also know that eating fruits is not good, but we can't control our mouths." Zhang Ling'er said aggrievedly.

When the pregnant woman saw the fruit, it was really difficult to ask her to control her mouth. Zhou Yang expressed deep sympathy: "Let my mother help you take care of her."

"You are so nice! A great man, bringing fresh fruits for us!" Princess Nangong leaned on Zhou Yang's shoulder with a head leaning on her shoulder, and said softly, with a look of happiness on her face.

"Yeah!" Zhang Ling'er agreed gently and sorted out the messy hair on Zhou Yang's forehead: "You are the commander, don't do such things in the future. If you have good results, you can send soldiers to move."

"The Grand Marshal also has a wife and children. What's the fault of me to move for you?" Zhou Yang caressed the two girls' smooth cheeks lovingly.

"Husband, I'm so sorry." Princess Nangong suddenly raised her head and apologized to Zhou Yang.

"Sorry?" Zhou Yangda was surprised, and she was so apologized.

"Husband, you have been fighting outside for many years, and it is rare to come back once." Princess Nangong's voice was very low, and she said, "This time we are pregnant, we can't accompany you..." The voice became smaller and smaller, almost mosquitoes, and inaudible. Her pretty face was flying, and she was extremely shy.

Zhou Yang suddenly realized and smiled and said, "Where do you want to go? There will be still a long time in the future, and there will be time."

"Husband, why don't you marry your husband and sister." Zhang Ling'er blinked her eyes, looked at Zhou Yang, and said, "My sister and I can't accompany you, my husband and sister can."

"This..." Zhou Yang was very surprised. He never expected that Zhang Ling'er would say such words.

"Yes!" Princess Nangong raised her head and was very excited: "My sister Zifu is kind to you, she is beautiful, beautiful, and has a good voice. After marrying her sister Zifu, she will be able to enjoy singing and dancing."

"Sister Nangong, look, my husband is moved." Zhang Ling'er gently twisted Zhou Yang's ears, became narrow-minded, and asked in a coquettish voice: "Is it?"

"I must be moved." Princess Nangong came to joke again.

Zhou Yang had only met Wei Zifu twice, but he had just met in a hurry. Wei Zifu is born with a beautiful appearance, rare in the world, and has a charm. If he could marry him, it would be a blessing for a man. Although Zhou Yang had never been moved, if he could marry him, there would be no reason to refuse, right?
