Chang'an, Taiwei's Mansion.

Ye Zhao stood in a courtyard, holding his hands behind his back, looking at a famous scholar and woman entering and leaving. From time to time, he could see a maid coming out with a copper basin, and pots of blood pouring out, making Ye Zhao's heart beat unconsciously.

Xin'er has been with him for twenty years. A few years ago, she couldn't get pregnant due to her health. Now she finally got pregnant but has difficulty giving birth.

Although Xin'er is just a concubine, among Ye Zhao's four women, the lowest status, and Ren Hongchang is also a concubine, but she was born in the Nefan camp and had military achievements. She was also a palace maid. Even if she was not from a wealthy family, she should have some fame in the local area, with a backer and background. Her status is also higher than that of Xin'er, who is also a concubine. But if you talk about feelings, when Ye Zhao had nothing, she was still willing to follow Ye Zhao, and then the feelings were naturally the deepest one.

It is a blessing for a man to have a woman who is willing to follow you when you have nothing in his life. Moreover, over the years, even if he has become Ye Zhao's woman, Xin'er has taken good care of Ye Zhao's diet and daily life.

When such a woman heard about the difficult childbirth and asked Ye Zhao for her opinion, Ye Zhao almost subconsciously chose to protect her.

If a child is gone, you can have another child, but if such a woman is gone, Ye Zhao will feel that she is missing something. That feeling is very complicated. Ye Zhao has never experienced it in his past and present life, but it will definitely not feel good.

"Uncle Liang, do you think the Hetao kills too much? God blames me for the head?" Although Ye Zhao was calm on the surface, he was not at all calm in his heart. Even when Liu Wei gave birth to Ye Zheng, Ye Zhao's emotions had never fluctuated so much.

"No, the young master killed a foreign race. I protect my great man and all the people. If God really had eyes, I would not have time to protect my son. How could I blame him?" Liang Uncle advised.

"If there was really God, there would be no difference between Hu and Han in its eyes!" Ye Zhao sighed. He originally didn't believe in these things, but time travel has happened. Who knows if there is really that thing.

Uncle Liang didn't know how to persuade him. He had nothing to do in his life and regarded Xin'er as his daughter. Uncle Liang was naturally relieved that Ye Zhao could value Xiner so much, but now he had to consider Ye Zhao being so anxious. If Xiner had something to do, I wonder if he would be depressed.

In the room, Xin'er's voice was hoarse and weak. Before the child was born, Ye Zhao suddenly had the urge to drag out the torture evil that had tormented and beat him up.

It has been more than half a day since I was in, and most women have been born long ago.

If not, just kill it...

Ye Zhao knew a lot, but about this, he was a layman, and he didn't know if the child could be aborted at this time, but...

Just as Ye Zhao frowned and pondered these questions, a loud cry suddenly came from the room, as well as the relaxed laughter of the maids and maids. Uncle Liang smiled and said, "Congratulations to the young master."

Ye Zhao nodded and strode forward to enter the house, but was stopped by the peaceful ladies who poured out of the house: "Taiwei, it is unlucky for a man to enter the place where this woman gave birth to a child."

"What's wrong?" Although Ye Zhao already had Ye Zheng, he was not around when Liu Wei gave birth, and he was not very clear about these things.

"Congratulations to the Grand Marshal, mother and son for their safety!" Several stable ladies bowed to congratulate.

"Is it another boy?" Ye Zhao asked.

"No," several stable ladies nodded.

"Go to the account to receive the reward. Thank you for your hard work!" Ye Zhao nodded and asked several stable ladies to go and receive the reward.

"Master!" At this moment, Li Ru hurriedly ran in and bowed to Ye Zhaoyi and said, "Congratulations to lord, congratulations to lord."

"Wenyou is so well-informed. My son is just born, and you got the news?" Ye Zhao looked at Li Rudao in surprise.

"Uh..." Li Ru then heard the crying in the room, and hurriedly said, "Then we have to congratulate the lord again, this is a good thing!"

"There are other good things?" Ye Zhao looked at Li Ru, then suddenly said: "Is there any news from Hetao?"

"Yes, Hetao Victory, Xu Rong defeated Meiji, Guan Yu killed the Southern Xiongnu Shanyu in Jiluzhai for half a month ago, and wiped out all his troops. Although he has not occupied all Hetao, the Southern Xiongnu has been destroyed at this point! This is an unprecedented victory in the battle of the Huns since the founding of the Han Dynasty!" Li Ru smiled and said, the biggest benefit of this battle is not the population of the Hetao land and the hundreds of miles of fertile land in Hetao, and the political benefits are even greater. Ye Zhao's achievements are enough to be remembered forever!

"Okay! It's good to destroy it!" Ye Zhao laughed and said, "I passed our military order and immediately sent someone to reward the three armies. He ordered Xu Rong to conquer all the Hetao land as soon as possible. Now it is midsummer, and the population will begin to migrate this winter."

"Here!" Li Ru bowed, but did not leave. He was not in a hurry to do so. Compared to the Ye family's additions, these things will not affect anything even if they are slightly pushed back.

"Young Master, you haven't named the young master yet." Uncle Liang walked up and smiled at Ye Zhao.

"Just call me...Zhe." Ye Zhao looked at the closed door and said with a smile. Zhe was connected to Zhe. In Ye Zhao's opinion, the two auspicious people combined also mean good luck. This name is quite good, just in line with the current situation. The time when this kid was born was really good.

"Ye Zhe? A good name." Uncle Liang smiled. In fact, his cultural level could not tell what was good about this name.

He could not go to see Xin'er for the time being, so Ye Zhao asked Uncle Liang to stay here and took Li Ru to the side hall. The Hetao victory was of great political significance for Ye Zhao. He needed to discuss with his subordinates how to maximize the benefits of this matter. In addition, after Meiji broke through and the overall situation was decided, Ye Zhao had been with his wife these days. He had not read the information in the past few days, so he just sorted out today.

"There is no movement in the direction of Xiliang?" Ye Zhao sat down. According to the saying of "de-husband", Zhong Yao first looked for Xiliang and then looked for them. Although he did not think that Han Sui and Ma Teng had the courage to stroke his tiger beard at this time, Ye Zhao would not believe that the two of them did not move at all.

"Han Sui led his army to Beidi County to plunder several Xiongnu tribes and took away thousands of people. However, after General Xu Rong killed the Xiongnu in Yu Meijikeng, he led his army to retreat to Jincheng." Li Ru smiled.

"He's a decisive person." Ye Zhao nodded and smiled: "Speaking of this, Han Sui has gained a lot of benefits from the Western Regions through our trade routes. Now he is eager to plunder the population, and he thinks he has discovered the disadvantages. Next, he may have to take action against Ma Teng."

"The lord's intention is..." Li Ru looked at Ye Zhao and asked.

"Seeing Han Sui's attitude, it means to seek refuge with me. However, if he really lets him swallow Ma Teng, he will inevitably raise the price with me. I have no intention of bargaining with him. Xiliang is only a small population, and the combined forces of the two families are more than 100,000, which is almost the same as the Huns. Our army is now fully committed. The total number of troops in the two states is only more than 300,000, and we must also be guarded against enemies from all directions. Half of Xiliang is only more than 20 cities, but we have more than 100,000 troops. Wenyou doesn't think there are too many?" Ye Zhao looked at Li Ru and said with a smile.

"Although Han Sui is capable, he is capricious." Li Ru nodded when he heard this, understanding Ye Zhao's meaning.

Seeing that Ye Zhao was powerful, Han Sui was interested in resigning, which was not difficult to understand. But looking at Han Sui's past, he surrendered several times, joined forces with the Qiang people or local forces to rebel several times, and his teammates were sold, but Han Sui's official position became bigger and bigger.

Smart people generally do not talk about loyalty, but they do not only talk about interests. Smart people usually have ambitions and hope to have a platform for themselves to display their talents. For example, Xi Zhicai Yu Ye Zhao, Li Ru, and Man Chong all have their own revenge and ideals.

Han Sui, he will not be loyal, nor have any ideals and ambitions to be realized through other people's platforms. He is a thorough egoist. He only looks at interests. Everyone can be called brothers and brothers, but when interests are inconsistent, he will not have any psychological burden on his teammates when he starts. He will be quick and neat. Ye Zhao can accept such a person, but he will never entrust with important responsibilities. God knows that if Ye Zhao's war is not going well one day, this pit god who is used to selling his teammates will sell Ye Zhao.

Although the Ye Zhao family has great business, if they are betrayed by Han Sui at critical moments, the losses will definitely be great. Such a smart person who has no bottom line, or the bottom line is his own interests, even Ye Zhao dare not reuse it.

After thinking about it, Li Ru smiled and said, "It's not difficult. You might as well reveal this to Ma Teng. People are not worried about being weak but not being equal. Seeing Han Sui eating meat in a big mouthful, it's okay if he knows it, even if Ma Teng doesn't care about it, the people under Ma Teng's command will probably not give up. In this case, Ma Teng will be wary of Han Sui. It's probably difficult for Han Sui to eat Ma Teng in one bite."

Ma Teng is also a vassal of all kinds. Although he is a general, he can share the world with Han Sui in a place like Xiliang. If Ma Teng's mind is full of muscles, no one will believe that no matter how stupid he is, he has Bian Zhang and Beigong Boyu, and after knowing Han Sui's small actions, Ma Teng cannot be without any precautions. If he plans to provoke a war between the two sides, it is not difficult for Ye Zhao's group.

At that time, you just need to reap profits.

"This matter will be handled by Wenyou." Ye Zhao smiled and said: "Now that Hetao has been settled. If Xiliang is not taken down, Hetao will not be managed!"

"Don't worry, lord, at most next year, I will ask my lord to get Xiliang." Li Ru smiled and bowed, "But you still need to borrow a soldier from your lord's hand to use it."

"Gu Cheng?" Ye Zhao looked at Li Ru and said with a smile.

"Not bad!" Li Ru nodded. As the most elite unit under Ye Zhao, countless generals in the army were jealous, but this unit only obeyed Ye Zhao's orders, and it was not easy to invite this unit.

"Okay, I'll lend it to you, don't let me down." Ye Zhao pondered for a moment, and finally nodded and smiled.
