Chapter 885: The Magnificent Power of Han (10)

"It would be great if I had a daughter!" He Lanxiong rode his horse slowly and said slowly to He Lanjie beside him. As He Lanyan's brother, he was one of the first generals to return to Jishi City since Changshou.

"Why?" He Lanjie said in confusion: "General, wouldn't it be good to have a son? I would rather have a son."

He Lanxiong slowly shook his head, "Ajie, over the years, I have been working hard to learn the culture of the Central Plains, and I have gained a lot. In fact, why don't I want the swallow to have a son? But given the current situation, it would be better to have a daughter. If it is a My son, maybe a lot of things will happen in the future, and the age difference with Xiao Gaoxing is too small."

"What does this have to do with Xiao Xingxing?" He Lanjie asked with his eyes widened.

"How come it doesn't matter?" He Lanxiong smiled bitterly, "Ajie, there are some things that I need to explain to you. Think about it. Now the governor's command is divided into different power groups. Who do you think is the most powerful?"

He Lanjie was stunned for a long time, "General, I'm afraid it's us?"

He Lanxiong smiled: "The Eastern Expeditionary Army now has a total of more than 50,000 cavalry. Excluding the 10,000 cavalry of the Donghu people, among the remaining 40,000 cavalry, we Huns are nearly 30,000 and hundreds of thousands of Huns can. One hundred thousand people are more than enough to mount a horse and fight, not to mention too many. If Yanzi gives birth to a son this time, maybe many people will have other thoughts by then. This will be the source of trouble."

He Lanjie was silent for a long time, "General, this is not impossible."

"Look, even you have this idea, but Ajie, let me tell you, kill this idea immediately. This is the path to self-destruction." He Lanxiong said seriously, looking at He Lanjie's unconvinced look. He continued: "You, think about Cao Tiancheng? The Cao family was the earliest partner in the governor's uprising. Cao Tiancheng controlled the economic lifeline of the entire Eastern March. Cao Tianci held the power of the Supervisory Council and controlled the entire Eastern March. The underground power of Dongfu. Sun Xiao is the commander of the Northern Army, and the Cao family is the largest family in Zhengdongfu. But now? Cao Tiancheng quit Zhengdongfu and became a big businessman with an official background. , Sun Xiao quit the army and turned to civil affairs. What does this mean? "

He Lanjie took a deep breath

"This means that the Governor will not tolerate the emergence of any dominant family in Zhengdong Mansion."

"We have no other ideas!" He Lanjie defended

"Then do you think Cao Tian has become a traitor to the governor?" He Lanxiong asked back

He Lanjie shook his head

"Then it's over!" He Lanxiong said: "Moreover.

How are we doing with the Huns now? "

"Very good!" He Lanjie said: "Now we Huns are living much better than before. We have houses, cattle, sheep, property, everything. When soldiers go to fight, they no longer have to worry about it. Even if they die in battle, Your family can also be well taken care of”

"But think about the current distribution of our Xiongnu people." He Lanxiong stretched out his hand and drew a circle, "Jishi County. Dayan County, Hetao County, Hejian County. There are also some immigrants who will immigrate to the Liaodong Peninsula. Don't you know? Did you find that we Huns have been quietly cut into small, disconnected pieces?"

He Lanjie thought about it carefully and couldn't help being horrified. Things were really as described by He Lanxiong.

"How could this happen? I have never thought about this problem before," he murmured.

"This is the brilliance of my brother-in-law. There was no coercion or threat. Our tribe happily went to their new place of residence. Because their property is constantly increasing. He Lanjie, let me ask you. "If I raise my voice and ask all the Huns to rebel with me, how many people do you think will follow me?" He Lanxiong asked.

He Lanjie shuddered and said, "General, this is impossible."

"Look, you also know that this is impossible. In the past, we Huns were poor, so poor that we could only rob and seize. But now, everyone is doing their duty and working honestly under the jurisdiction of Zhengdong Mansion. Under this, you can live a good life. Who will follow you to cause trouble? People in the Central Plains used to discriminate against us, but can you see this in the Zhengdong Mansion area?"

He Lanjie shook his head

"I have also shed blood and sweat on this foundation of Zhengdong Mansion. I never hope that he will encounter difficulties, but I can't guarantee that none of us Huns will have ambitions and not stir up some conflicts to gain their own interests. Now No, it may happen in the future. Our family may be the best excuse. If Yanzi gives birth to a son, that will be the reason now. The governor is about to ascend the throne. Zhengdong Mansion may become this place in the future. The most powerful country on the continent, the king of such a country, wouldn’t anyone use Yan Zi’s son as an excuse for their own benefit?”

"So, I hope Yanzi will give birth to a daughter."

"But our little princess is still very young and will give birth to another child again. Even if she gives birth to a daughter this time, won't she also give birth to a son in the future?" He Lanjie asked back

"What I hope is that when Little Happy grows up, the situation may be much better," He Lanxiong said: "In this battle, I lost more than 2,000 elite cavalry to rescue Ye Feng. I know that many people do not I understand, but I am trying my best to make up for the relationship with Ye. I don’t want our two groups to deepen the existing rifts because of this incident. We Huns have now lost the foundation of self-reliance and can only cling to On the big tree of Zhengdong Mansion, all I want is for my people to live a better life. I don’t want them to be dragged into the flames of war again now or in the future for some reason. You know, we have no chance of winning at all."

"I understand the great general's hard work," Helan Jie said. "The great general has good intentions, but why not just make this clear to the governor?"

"Needless to say, he should see clearly what I did. Moreover, Ye Chongye is really a smart person. They also understand that there are some things that would be meaningless if explained clearly." He Lanxiong said with a smile, "Actually, As long as we Huns live a better life, it doesn’t matter whether we can be independent or not, don’t you think?”

"Well, this is really troublesome!" He Lanjie sighed: "I just want to fight, but I don't want to deal with such messy things."

"Ajie, you must understand this. You are a senior general of the Eastern Conquest Army. As the Eastern Conquest Army moves forward, you will stand alone and become more and more powerful. If you don't understand this, you might You will be taken advantage of without knowing it. When that time comes, it will be too late to regret. This is why I am telling you this."

"Thank you, General!"

"Look at you, you're like a general, you're so loud. I still hope you call me big brother like before!" He Lanxiong smiled and patted He Lanjie's helmet with his riding crop.

"This time our Helan tribe is marrying a princess, it's really a big deal. The two elders have put a lot of effort into it!" He Lanjie said with a smile, "To be honest, I can't wait now."

"The two elders are really causing trouble." He Lanxiong's face showed no joy. "What are you doing? Do you want to say goodbye to Madam Ye? Do you want the world to see that Yanzi is no worse than Madam Ye? Ajie, now you You understand why I'm unhappy, why am I telling you this?"

"Don't you two elders have other thoughts?" He Lanjie said

"Maybe they didn't, but their actions gave some people the wrong signal. I wonder how many people thought this was what I meant?" He Lanxiong sighed.

"Then what should we do now? Is it possible that we can take it back?"

"Of course not. I don't want to cause trouble, but that doesn't mean I'm afraid of trouble!" He Lanxiong suddenly laughed, "Now that we've done it, let's do it generously and don't let people think that we have two million taels of silver in our hearts. But it’s really a large amount of money. Now that Zhengdong Mansion’s financial resources are empty, it can relieve the crisis. I really didn’t expect that our tribe can easily collect such a large amount of money now.”

"When people unite, mountains will move!"

Just when He Lanxiong was feeling worried on his way back, in his mansion, Gao Yuan opened his eyes wide and watched Ye Jing'er and He Lanyan walking out of the inner hall hand in hand with smiles on their faces. The person's expression didn't seem to be unpleasant, which made Gao Yuan breathe a sigh of relief.

Ye Jing'er is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, while He Lanyan has a firecracker temper. He is really afraid that if they don't get along, a rift will arise.

"Mother, mother!" Seeing Ye Jing'er coming out, the little Gao Yuan in Gao Yuan's arms immediately stretched out his hands towards Ye Jing'er. Gao Yuan hurriedly took a few steps, arrived in front of the two of them, handed the little Gao Yuan over, and said with a smile: " We haven’t seen each other for a while, but he has already had several quarrels.”

Ye Jing'er smiled and took Xiao Gaoxing over, "If you disturb my sister's rest, we will leave now. My sister is resting hard. After two days, she will still be tired!"

"I'm sending my sister off," He Lanyan said

"No need, you are heavy, you should go back to your room and lie down!" Ye Jing'er smiled and shook her head, looking at Gao Yuan, "Brother Gao, let's go back first!"

"Okay!" Gao Yuan nodded to He Lanyan, and walked out with Ye Jing'er. After getting on the carriage, Gao Yuan finally couldn't help but ask, "What did you say to Yanzi?"

Ye Jing'er rolled her eyes at him, "Why, are you afraid that I will wrong your sister Yanzi?"

Gao Yuan laughed dryly, "How could Jing'er do this if she has such a broad mind?"

"Don't worry, these are just women's private words. You, a great hero, don't have to worry about these trivial matters!" Ye Jing'er smiled, "You only need to worry about your big things and family matters. Don't worry. Well, your women won’t cause you any trouble” (To be continued)
