Chapter 926 Step by Step

Early the next morning, Yun Zheng and his men began to move out of camp.

When Yun Zheng and his team set out, didn’t they send someone to report ahead?

Bu Du has already led his troops to escort the food overnight, and they should be able to arrive before dark tonight.

"You take your people to guard these grains! No need to send them to us."

Before leaving, Yun Zheng instructed Jia Yao.

"I think so too!"

Jia Yao smiled, but her eyes fell on Yun Zheng's lips again.

It seemed that he was admiring his own masterpiece.

"You still have the nerve to watch?"

Yun Zheng glared at Jia Yao fiercely, "If you want to torture me, I advise you to give up the idea as soon as possible! You think I was being tortured, but I was having fun among the flowers all day long!"

"Whether it works or not, I have to give it a try."

The smile on Jiayao's face gradually disappeared, and he said faintly: "Apart from this method, I really don't know how else I can take revenge on you without implicating Beihuan..."

"As you wish!"

Yun Zheng didn't care.

After simply saying goodbye to Jia Yao, Yun Zheng set off with his army.

Looking at Yun Zheng's receding back, Jia Yao couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.

Unconsciously, Jia Yao touched the two porcelain figures he carried with him.

She also understood that torturing Yun Zheng was also torturing herself.

But, after all, she still couldn't compromise with herself like Emperor Wen did!

"Brother, what's wrong with your mouth?"

As the army set out, Qin Qihu finally had the opportunity to ask the questions he had always wanted to ask.

"Gaya bites it."

Yun Zheng replied calmly.

Sure enough!

Qin Qihu chuckled and said with a wink: "You guys are doing quite a lot!"

sharp?

Yun Zheng glanced at Qin Qihu.

Isn’t it quite troublesome?

There is no physical torture, it's all mental torture.

This man!

Sometimes you just can’t have sweet dreams.

Otherwise, once this beautiful dream ends, all that will be left is a mess.

A wise man never falls in love!

The ancients do not deceive me!

Just as Yun Zheng was secretly sighing, the imperial guards came riding over and Emperor Wen called Yun Zheng over.

Yun Zheng sighed silently in his heart, turned his horse around and walked back.

Emperor Wen signaled the people protecting him to step back, then pointed at Yun Zheng's mouth and asked curiously, "Did Jia Yao bite him?"

"Cough cough..."

Yun Zheng was embarrassed and lied, "I bit it accidentally."

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

Emperor Wen glared at Yun Zheng unhappily, the fire of gossip in his eyes becoming more intense, "Did you eat Jia Yao?"

"..."

Yunzheng was speechless.

This old man, do you have to be so straightforward?

Besides, this is not something he should care about!

"I'm asking you something!"

Seeing that Yun Zheng remained silent, Emperor Wen immediately continued to ask.

Yun Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and shook his head in embarrassment, "No!"

"Really not?"

Emperor Wen seemed a little unconvinced.

"Not really."

Yun Zheng looked at Emperor Wen bitterly.

"It's worthless!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Wen was immediately disappointed. "So, Jia Yao still hasn't figured it out?"

In order to persuade Jia Yao to learn to compromise with herself, he didn't even go to Wolf God Mountain.

If Jia Yao hasn't figured it out yet, it would be a waste of his efforts.

Yun Zheng nodded gently and said helplessly: "The so-called national hatred and family feud, how can it be so easy to figure it out?"

"Ugh!"

After getting the exact answer, Emperor Wen could not hide his disappointment, "I overestimated Jia Yao!"

Overestimated?

Yun Zheng was slightly startled.

Shouldn't it be underestimated?

"Father, are you saying the opposite?"

Yun Zheng looked at Emperor Wen with some doubt.

"I didn't say the opposite!"

Emperor Wen turned his head and looked behind him, then shook his head and sighed, "If she is really a regent princess who devotes herself wholeheartedly to Beihuan, she should accept my advice! This meaningless persistence is not persistence at all, it is just willful behavior..."

After a country!

This is the position that many people dream of!

Jia Yao never thought about how much benefit she could bring to Beihuan if she became the future queen?

People are divided into three, six or nine grades!

With her as the queen of a country, the people of Beihuan will never become the lowest class of people.

She couldn't defeat Yun Zheng, nor did she dare to confront Yun Zheng again. What was the point of her persistence?

From the perspective of a king, she should put aside her insistence.

Even if you are pretending, you have to pretend to be sincerely submissive.

Even if she hoped that Beihuan would revive a hundred years later, she shouldn't stick to her persistence now.

A losing chess player is still a chess player after all.

If one day Bei Huan becomes a pawn like Dayue and Qiu Chi, it will be too late for her to regret!

The so-called hatred and grudges, what do they matter in the face of the destruction of a country and the extinction of a race?

After listening to Emperor Wen's theory, Yun Zheng really didn't know what to say.

He agreed with what Emperor Wen said.

However, the relationship between him and Jia Yao is really too complicated.

Emperor Wen is now looking at all this from the perspective of an observer.

He and Jia Yao are both involved in the game.

Once you become a player in the game, even if you understand some of the principles, you may not be able to do it.

Seeing Yun Zheng remained silent, Emperor Wen asked again: "How do you plan to treat Beihuan in the future?"

"Of course it's complete integration!"

Yunzheng answered without thinking.

This will never change because of his relationship with Jia Yao.

Even if Jia Yao really let go of all grudges and surrendered sincerely, this would not change.

Moreover, once Daqian becomes powerful enough to instill fear in its neighbors, ethnic integration will become inevitable.

This cannot be stopped by anyone who wants to.

Unless, we close our country to the outside world at any time.

But he would never do such a stupid thing.

"Well, that's good. I'm not obsessed with sex!"

Emperor Wen smiled with relief, "When I saw you escorting grain to Beihuan before, I was really worried that you would be fascinated by Jiayao's beauty and let Beihuan grow stronger again."

Yun Zheng smiled: "Father, you can use that food as military rations for Beihuan to fight against the northern barbarians."

Emperor Wen hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Why don't you use the northern barbarians to further weaken the Northern Huan?"

Now with the threat of northern barbarians, it is a good opportunity to continue weakening Beihuan.

Yun Zheng explained: "I only need to limit their development. There is no need to deliberately weaken Beihuan..."

Deliberately weakening Beihuan will not only be detrimental to the complete integration of Beihuan, but will also be counterproductive and rekindle the resistance of the Beihuan people.

If he were Jia Yao, and Beihuan was in such a state and was being weakened in various ways, he would definitely lead his people to completely abandon this land without hesitation and find another place to take root and reproduce.

Once this happens, they will have to face the northern barbarians head-on.

The reason why he did not directly occupy the territories of Beihuan, Beimoduo, Mengduo and Guifang was to leave a buffer zone between them and the northern barbarians.

With these buffer zones, they can develop better.

The territory needs to be digested bit by bit.

If you eat too much at once, you will probably feel bloated.

Once there are constant riots in the occupied land, their army will have to put out fires everywhere all day long, and their national strength will be exhausted sooner or later.

The best option is to proceed step by step and integrate the people of these places bit by bit.

Listening to Yun Zheng's words, Emperor Wen couldn't help but nod and smile.

That's true!

Eat your meal bite by bite.

If you eat too much at once, you will not only feel bloated, but may even die from it.

This rebellious son is quite clear-headed.

Don't be too boastful.

It seems that I can rest assured...
