From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 971

The phrase "Heaven and Earth nourish people" gave Su Youzi a new understanding, so that she gradually embarked on the road of rebuilding her Tao heart and seemed to have made great progress.

This was not the situation that Li Yu'an wanted to see. Instead, she wanted her sister to completely fall into the mortal world.

Because Li Yu'an herself was a mortal, she would naturally think that living like her would definitely be better than practicing in seclusion.

But Zhou Yuan felt much more at ease.

Whether living in the mortal world or practicing in seclusion, as long as one's heart is at ease and one does not commit suicide, it is the master's choice, and Zhou Yuan does not want to forcefully intervene.

So Zhou Yuan slept particularly well this time, and did not wake up until noon the next day.

He found that his nose was a little itchy, and when he opened his eyes, he found that it was the Virgin Sister who gently poked his nostrils with her hair.

Zhou Yuan rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "Why are you being so mean..."

Li Yu'an said: "Hurry up and think of a way to get your master back. She has found a room for herself and is practicing Taoism again."

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. She is very talented. Once she gets into this rhythm, the road to rebuilding her Tao heart will be very smooth."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "This is the master's choice. I can't change it. As long as she doesn't want to die, I will be satisfied."

Li Yu'an snorted and said: "You are quite tolerant of her, but you are so cruel to me."

Zhou Yuan said: "You are jealous of this? How am I cruel to you?"

Li Yu'an pouted and said: "Every time we are intimate, I want to make her collapse, but now I feel sorry for my master."

Zhou Yuan couldn't refute, so he hugged her and said with a smile: "Don't say such angry words, let's concentrate on finishing the battle first, there will always be time in the future."

"When the time comes When I stayed next to Master, annoyed her every day, and it would definitely make her collapse. I don't want to think about it. "" I just want to enjoy life, live simply, and give you all the troubles. "She looked at Zhou Yuan and said," Are you unwilling? " What direction will "" Zhou Yuan coughs twice, "a little thirsty." After moistening his throat, Zhou Yuan said, "Unlike the previous situation, the four forces in Goryeo have shown a clear trend of victory and defeat."

"We are getting braver and braver as we march southward with great momentum, like a tiger descending from a mountain."

"Li Jingzhi was defeated and can only retreat to Yuanshan and Yongxing to rest and recuperate. He will adopt a more conservative strategy and focus on his own recovery and development."

"With his intelligence, he will definitely follow our policy and keep the eastern part of Goryeo's northern border firmly in check."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yuan paused slightly and said, "The island bandits are now in a difficult position."

"From a long-term strategic perspective, they want to take advantage of our being trapped in the South China Sea to occupy Goryeo, complete the invasion, and strengthen themselves. In the future, they will also have the status to negotiate with the Dutch, complete the transformation in warships, and catch up with the world's top."

"This strategy is actually very good, but they calculated everything, but they didn't expect the Dutch to be defeated so quickly and so tragically."

"When they knew that the Dutch had been defeated, After that, Goryeo had invested too much, and there was no turning back, so they could only go all out. "

"Now that the sea is blocked, they have no way out, and can only focus on taking Seoul and defending the southern border of Goryeo to slow down our offensive."

"As soon as the war in the north starts, I have to withdraw my troops immediately, and they will enter a comfortable rhythm."

"This is their only chance to win."

"So their attack is very fierce, they want to race against time, and take it before we go south. Seoul, complete the deployment of defenses to the southern border of Goryeo."

Li Yu'an frowned and said, "Isn't Jin Zhentang in danger?"

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "There are the Jin army in the north and the island bandits in the south. Jin Zhentang is facing a dead end."

"But he is not a fool, he will struggle."

Li Yu'an said, "How to struggle?"

Zhou Yuan said, "Escape!"

"Escape?"

Li Yu'an widened his eyes and said, "He is the King of Goryeo after all... How..."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Can't the King of Goryeo escape? Facing certain death,In this situation, he has no other choice but to escape. "

"If I were him, I would also escape, abandon Seoul, and flee to Huaiyang along the North Han River to rest and take root temporarily."

"Li Jingzhi is busy growing stronger, so he won't touch him for the time being. The island bandits are busy deploying defenses against us, and they are in no mood to deal with him."

"And when we face the island bandits occupying Seoul, we can't just ignore everything and fight him directly, but we will choose to compete with the island bandits."

"In this way, Jin Zhentang can not only get precious rest time, but also sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so that we and the island bandits will both suffer losses."

"This is the best way. Maybe at this moment, Jin Zhentang has already started to evacuate."

But Li Yu'an was furious when he heard it, and gritted his teeth and said: "He is the King of Goryeo. If he wants to give up Seoul, he will be the most shameless and bottom-less king in history!"

"Little nephew, if the Eastern Tartars had entered Shenjing at the beginning, would you give up Shenjing? "

Zhou Yuan was silent for a moment, and said: "With my and my elder sister's temper, we will engage in brutal street fighting with the Eastern Tartars in Shenjing until one side is completely wiped out."

"If we move the capital and abandon Shenjing, the dignity of the country will be gone, and everything will be gone."

Li Yu'an gritted her teeth and said: "Fight on! Seoul must not fall into the hands of the island bandits."

Zhou Yuan said: "I have already given the order. According to the changes in the situation, we are also adjusting our strategy."

"At this time, it is time to go all out."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yuan came to the map.

He said in a deep voice: "Guan Lu has sent someone to pass on the order. My Dajin battleships and cruisers will land in Jishan, Qunshan, Shuntian, Yunan and Donglai respectively to counter-encircle the island bandits."

"Nie Zairong will destroy all the other turtle ships as soon as possible, cut off their retreat at sea, and completely wipe out the island bandits. "

"It is December 18th now. We will try to take Pyongyang before New Year's Eve and celebrate on New Year's Eve."

...

Standing on the steps of Gyeongbokgung Palace, the elderly Jin Zhentang looked at the magnificent buildings with only reluctance in his eyes.

This place is still prosperous, but it is full of a desolate and bleak temperament.

Because of the chaos, the palace maids are fleeing, the servants are fleeing, the wealth has been emptied, and countless soldiers are still cleaning up the last remnants.

The families of the ministers have already evacuated, everything has been packed up, and they are just waiting for an order to withdraw from Seoul.

Reluctant!

This place symbolizes power, symbolizes dignity, and symbolizes the center of the whole world.

Jin Zhentang has not had enough of such days.

But there is no other choice.

"Let's go, let them fight for this city."

"We will be back sooner or later."

He sighed, just like the sobbing of the Goryeo king before his death more than 20 years ago.
