"Well, what Your Highness needs now is not comfort, but fighting spirit."

"Is that..."

Gu Hengbo nodded again and said, "Don't worry, King Jing'an, the Seventh Prince will definitely be able to comfort her."

She looked up at Wang Xiao, her eyes full of gentle light, and said, "I will take care of these little things in the family, right? You have so many things to be busy with, so don't bother me anymore."

Wang Xiao was speechless for a moment.

"Well, you're very good, what reward do you want?"

Gu Hengbo knew that he would no longer be willing to throw himself to Tang Qianqian and take him to Xi'an.

Then what else is there to be afraid of?

"I want you and others..."

"Stop making trouble."

Wang Xiao raised his hand and gently turned her face to the side and walked away straight away.

Gu Hengbo stood on the path holding his face and looked back, but his eyes were even more joyful...

Qin Xuance took tens of thousands of prisoners to Qihe County, and when he returned to Jinan, he was summoned by Wang Xiao.

However, the two of them randomly found a small restaurant on the street to talk.

"Is this war exciting?"

Qin Xuance said "Ha" and said, "What do you think? I was driven away by Fang Mingfu for so long, and waited for Qin Xiaozhu to bring the main force to fight... Bah."

"Jianlu is going to surrender."

"What?" Qin Xuance sneered and said, "How is that possible?"

Wang Xiao frowned and said, "We came back from Shenyang together. Don't you ask where I hid later?"

"I want to ask, is there any difference when you ask? You are either hiding in the 'er' house or hiding in the 'e' house. Do you remember so many messy names?"

"I hid in the palace and gave birth to a son with their queen mother..."

Qin Xuance's expression became very exciting in an instant.

"Da Yu'er?"

"Yeah, Da Yu'er."

After a while...

"Wang Xiao, you're too much."

"The problem is that Da Yuer wants to surrender when she sees the situation in Aixin Jueluo's family is not good. What do you think?"

"What do I think?" Qin Xuance didn't think about it for a while, and thought about it. After a while, he said, "You asked me this time?"

"Well, I asked you."

"Please tell me what you think first."

Wang Xiao sneered and said, "Do you know if the situation has changed? We used to fight head-on. No one thinks we can become a powerful force, and each one is very hard. It will be different from the future. When the capital is recovered and then fight Jiangnan, you can see what it will look like... But don't be too happy too early, this kind of soft battle is more difficult to fight than tough battles."

"I know."

"Da Yuer is the smartest and first reacted. While Jianlu still has military power, he wanted to sell it at a good price. He wanted to be my wife and stared at my heir position, but I think this transaction is a loss. Do you understand?"

"I understand if you say that." Qin Xuance said: "It's all over the place, and we can't defeat Jianlu."

Wang Xiao said, "But some people don't understand."

"What do you don't understand?"

"Some people think that war is continuous and people are born in the heat of water, so it is better to quell the war as soon as possible; some people think that promoting this matter is a wonderful achievement; and some people's position naturally tends to conquer Jianlu through judgment rather than conquer by force..."

Qin Xuance said: "It makes sense if you say this. If you feel that this transaction is losing money, we can start the price."

"The price is what land to take. It is not about doing business to build a country. If you join one share and I join another, the country you have built is not the Sui Dynasty that died in the second lifetime."

"Then let's not talk about it, just fight!"

"Okay, I will collect grain next year and the Northern Expedition..."

"Next year? Year after year, I will build the Yellow River..."

Wang Xiao stared at Qin Xuance and stared at him until he was furious.

"What do you think of me?"

"If my elder brother and second brother talk to you today, will you listen to their support and discussion?"

Qin Xuance was upset again, so he drank a glass of wine and complained, "What do you want me to do? What you said makes sense. I will listen to you, and you want me to think by myself."

"Then what do you think?"

"It's a bit long to wait until you collect the grain next year." Qin Xuance said: "You want me to say, you promise Da Yu'er first, we will fight Dorgon first, and wait until you collect Da Yu'er, let Qin Xiaozhu kill her, and you will be done with all."

"If this is the case, she will kill Xiao Zhu first, do you believe it?"

"I don't believe it." Qin Xuance said: "Anyway, if you ask me for my suggestions, I think it's good to talk, and I'm idle too. But if you don't want to talk, then don't talk. I'll listen to you and wait for next year."

Wang smiled and drank a mouthful of glass and said, "You must be firm in fighting the country. 'It's good to talk about it'. This kind of opportunistic idea is not good. Da Yu'er is just to make you have this kind of luck mentality. She is already dealing with Qin Shanhe. Yesterday, Talma and Batmaqi were captured by the Jinyiwei because of their close contact with Jianlu. Then, many people impeached Qin Shanhe to connect with the enemy."

Qin Xuance said: "Uncle San committed a crime and was trapped in such a thing all his life..."

"Da Yuer did this, first, to wait for the future to disclose that I have a son with her. Talma and Batmaya are witnesses. Qin Shanhe will be automatically classified as that faction, regardless of whether he wants it or not. Second, to make our morale unstable, create the illusion of internal and external troubles, and promote peace talks; third, to remind Qin Shanhe and all the Liao people who surrendered, that people in the pass will always doubt them. It is most beneficial for their situation to recover the enemy through peace talks..."

After Wang Xiao finished speaking, he said, "Do you understand? This woman will constantly plot against people for her interests. If you are lucky and want to win with ease, you will fall into her trap. Only by unswervingly can you win a truly stable country."

Qin Xuance nodded.

"Understood."

"Is it really clear now? No matter who tells you in the future, you will not be shaken?"

"I really understand."

"Okay." Wang Xiao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Most of the Chinese military officials in the court are not as smart as you. Some people are unwilling to understand this principle, or are lazy, tired, and unwilling to continue fighting, or they think that the credit is not high enough now, and want to tiptoe up and seek a prince before they die... but I can't convince them one by one."

"Is it going to kill the chicken again to warn the monkey?"

"How did Yao Wenhua live so well?"

...

Wang Xiao did not go home directly after seeing Qin Xuance.

He went to the military camp in the north of the city again.

Some of the more than 20,000 troops drawn due to the Battle of Shanxi were sent to guard the Shangdang area in Xinde. More than 5,000 people remained in charge of tens of thousands of prisoners, and the troops became tense again.

Wang Xiao walked around the camp and found a few old men and talked casually.

"Where are you from?"

"He from Xidaogou."

"Do you miss home?"

The old man didn't know that the one in front of him was King Jing'an. He scratched his head and smiled, "General... I haven't been home for a year and ten months. I first fought in Dezhou for a year, then went to Zhencheng to fight against the flood, then to Shanxi, then to Weizhou, Yinan, and now to Jinan... I dreamed that my mother and my wife cried."

Wang Xiao felt a little ashamed and said, "Wait a minute, train another new army, and you will be transferred home to collect grain."

"Really?! At the end of last year, I said I would let us go home for the New Year..."

A fast horse was running wildly in the distance.

"Report! Urgent report..."

"Boluo made an illusion of defending Taiyuan, but in fact he had led his army to attack Ruichao in the west, and advanced rapidly. He broke through eleven counties in half a month. When we received the news, he had already attacked Yuncheng. Now he was afraid he was preparing to cross the Yellow River west..."

Xia Xiangwei looked at the information and analyzed it to the map. Wang Xiao interrupted: "I'm afraid I've crossed the Yellow River."

"So fast?"

"When they retreated back to Taiyuan, they were afraid they had already made up their minds to attack Ruichao. I left Shanxi and wanted to see if they dared to take the opportunity to continue attacking Shangdang. They dared not come. It is very likely that they were preparing to advance westward at that time. They had to fight the time difference in this battle, and they were surprised and would not give us time to rescue Ruichao."

Xia Xiangwei was a little shocked and said, "The Rui Army should be prepared..."

"Tang Zhongyuan planned to give up Shanxi, but most of the natural dangers in Guanzhong were lost. Whether Jianlu could destroy Rui Dynasty in one fell swoop is whether he could cross the Yellow River. Dorgon would not have thought about this problem. If he had the will to make a mistake, Tang Zhongyuan would be defeated."

Xia Xiangwei said: "I didn't expect Jianlu to go far and go to Xi'an."

"Yes, no one expected..."

Wang Xiao didn't know what he was thinking, and seemed a little distracted.

The generals in the account started to discuss it.

"If you want to say, Tang Zhongyuan deserves it. If he promised to defend Shanxi with us, would Taiyuan be lost? Can Jianlu be beaten to the door of his house in one go?"

"I'm afraid he still dreams of letting us and Jianlu live to the death. I didn't expect Jianlu to be defeated by us so soon. Hey, turn around and hit him..."

"Dorgon wants to send troops from Tongguan to attack us this time?"

"Dog slave is so fucking coward..."
