After I traveled through the book, my sister kidnapped my mother

After Shi Guanchao returned to the court, Su Qingluo and Yun Zhou were obviously under much less pressure.

Many things were not easy to deal with when Su Qingluo and Yun Zhou stepped forward, but with Shi Guanchao mediating, things became much easier.

A letter came from Beidi saying that the bodies of General Beirong and Xiao Yuanju had been kindly returned to Beirong.

The Beirong general who went to pick up the coffin almost had a conflict with Tianxuan's team responsible for escorting the coffin. Tianxuan led three thousand elite soldiers to the border between the two countries, and the Beirong general who was responsible for picking up the coffin was a close confidant of the Beirong queen.

But there was also a Beirong state master accompanying them. Although he was only a state master, he seemed to have a very high say and prevented a conflict that was bound to happen.

The two sides conducted the handover peacefully.

Beirong's attitude this time was too peaceful, completely different from his previous style.

The diplomatic envoys and military generals sent there could not figure out what Beirong was thinking, as to why they accepted Tianxuan's humiliation and condemnation so calmly.

However, Yun Zhou and Su Qingluo, who had received news from the Supervisory Council and the Dragon Shadow Guard, knew very well that the Queen of Beirong simply had no time to care about Tianxuan.

He just didn't want to create any more trouble with Tianxuan as the war with Hu Yanguo was imminent.

What's more, Beirong was in the wrong this time. With the assistance of Xiao Yuanju, Beirong fought everywhere and annexed many small tribes over the years, and its territory expanded a lot.

However, these tribes have not yet been completely tamed, and the Queen of Beirong does not want to go to war with Tianxuan again before annexing Huyanguo.

Moreover, according to the information from Dragon Shadow Guard, Queen Beirong is pregnant.

However, Beirong wanted to unify the northern grasslands in one fell swoop, but Su Qingluo would never agree to it.

Tianxuan had already written a letter to Hu Yanguo, stating that as long as the other party was willing to pay tribute, Tianxuan would support him.

Hu Yanguo was unwilling to submit to Tianxuan, but Su Qingluo was not in a hurry. If he did not want his country to be destroyed after being beaten twice, he would naturally agree.

Before the rise of the Northern Rong, Huyanguo was once the overlord of the grassland. Even when the Central Plains was at its most chaotic, Huyanguo once marched to the last natural barrier in the north.

But this natural barrier has never been broken through, and no matter how chaotic the Central Plains is, it is still resolute in resisting foreign enemies.

After the death of two generations of wise rulers, conflicts broke out within Huyan Kingdom and it became divided into pieces. The Northern Rong took advantage of the situation and rose up.

After reading all this history, Yun Zhou felt that the conflicts in the world had never stopped. Whether it was the northern grasslands or the Central Plains, the less civilized southern countries were relatively stable in comparison.

But due to their closed-mindedness and ignorance, some tribes still practice human sacrifices today.

Sometimes when you look back at the history of human civilization, it really feels like it’s full of blood and cruelty.

Hu Yanguo once had evil ambitions, but now Tian Xuan also needs it to contain Beirong. There are only interests between countries.

As Su Qingluo expected, Hu Yanguo fought with Beirong three times and was defeated three times. In the end, he surrendered to Tianxuan and asked for help.

With Tianxuan's support, Hu Yanguo was able to defend the remaining two-thirds of the territory and even began to fight back.

Beirong also realized that if they failed to quickly annex Huyanguo, the war would have to prolong.

Moreover, in addition to the Huyanguo in the north, the Lujin Kingdom in the west of Tianxuan has also been ambitious to expand in recent years.

Sometimes when she looked at the world map, if it weren't for the different continental plates, she could really imagine the history of her previous life.

Su Qingluo is already powerful enough, but the nomadic peoples around him are not vegetarians either.

There is Beirong in the north, Lujin Kingdom in the west, and Donglan Kingdom near the sea in the northeast.

Wen Zhimiao said that it was probably due to climatic reasons that many cold areas in the north became much warmer, creating many more habitable places and the nomadic people became stronger.

The territory of Donglan Kingdom is not large. When Tianxuan was first established, it wanted to be crowned emperor. Later, it was beaten up by the troops led by the founding emperor of Tianxuan, and then it became a vassal state.

But after several generations of incompetent emperors in Tianxuan, the Donglan Kingdom began to make moves again.

According to the records in many local chronicles, Yunzhou knew that there were many islands to the east of Donglan Country, and there were also overseas people on the islands.

I don’t know whether it’s true or not, but Donglan’s navy is indeed the best in the world.

"Can you shoot it down? Then it will behave itself. We will have the shipbuilding technology and Wen Rongxue will have support." One day, Yun Zhou saw the memorial about the Donglan Kingdom's ship crashing into an East China Sea merchant ship, and said to Su Qingluo speechlessly.

"We must fight the Donglan Kingdom, but not now. Tianxuan has gone through several generations of emperors' chaos, and the treasury can't support it. It has to recuperate for three years first. What's more, Donglan is good at naval battles, and the Tianxuan navy is indeed weak." Su Qingluo also wanted to, but it was impossible at the moment.

"It's okay, as long as you have an idea." Yun Zhou really couldn't stand the behavior of the Donglan Kingdom. It was so disgusting. When they couldn't defeat them, they bullied civilians and often disguised themselves as pirates to rob merchant ships along the coast.

Su Qingluo couldn't help but asked her with a smile: "I didn't expect you to have such a belligerent side."

"The Lord of Donglan is the descendant of a former minister. I really can't stand seeing a bunch of immoral villains."

"But it is indeed not appropriate now. We must first stabilize the country before we can fight against foreign enemies. If we cannot resist the enemy at home, we will not be able to resist the enemy at home." Yun Zhou just complained a few words and did not really want Su Qingluo to send troops now.

"Okay, how about I lead the army myself in three years?" Su Qingluo said half-jokingly.

Yun Zhou suddenly became serious: "No."

Su Qingluo smiled with joy.

Now that Shi Guanchao has returned to Xuandu, apart from the support for Hu Yanguo on the border, there is no great pressure in the north for the time being. Although Lu Jin Kingdom is ready to make a move, the target of its current move is not Tianxuan.

He Mu guards Yi'an Pass, and Lu Jinguo cannot defeat He Mu.

Wen Rongxue has returned to Prince Shun's fiefdom. She had originally agreed to escort Wen Mingzhe back to Xuandu to await execution.

But Prince Shun suddenly fell seriously ill, and Wen Rongxue was unable to leave. He could only send his trusted confidant to escort Wen Mingzhe back to Xuandu, where he was already in the Heavenly Prison, waiting for the Dali Temple and the Six Ministries to clean up those who participated in the rebellion, and after they were convicted, they would be executed in the autumn.

Therefore, for now, the pressure on Su Qingluo and Yun Zhou has been reduced a lot. They just need to carry out the reforms step by step according to the plan. At least for now, there is no external threat at all. As long as the border is peaceful, the country will be much more stable.

However, Wen Zhimiao suddenly felt stressed.

After all, school starts in one day.

Shi Wanyue and Wen Jiuzhao didn't feel any pressure, and Qi Linglang also felt that it was not a big deal and was even a little looking forward to it.

Only Wen Zhimiao and He Yuanyao were unhappy about the start of school.

The night before school started, Yun Zhou came to find Wen Zhimiao to remind her that she had to go to school again the next day.

Wen Zhimiao listened to her words, pouting and looking unhappy.

"Should I really go to school? I've already studied once." Wen Zhimiao asked her painfully.

Yun Zhou took out a history book and asked, "Do you understand everything?"

Wen Zhimiao was silent.
