In the Chinese army camp, He Heng stood still and Li Rusi was planning an attack. He Heng tended to be conservative and Li Rusi tended to be radical, and the two sides couldn't argue.
One side thinks that the other side has no brave generals, and if they win the battle, they can just defeat the other side head-on. After all, they cannot wait for Jing Guo and Zheng to snatch the territorial resources and Xuanjia Army soldiers. If they don't defeat Zhao Guo's army, the army will be captured by both countries. Go, one side believes that there is a gap between the soldiers of both sides, so it has to wait for more actions from Jing Guo and Zheng Guo, and cannot rush forward.
"Your Majesty is coming?" The two people who were arguing endlessly in the meeting hall received the letter, but their attitudes were surprisingly consistent.
"What's he doing here? Don't you know that the front line is dangerous? With thin arms and legs, what's the use of him here!"
Li Rusi said without any mercy that she was working hard here just to ensure the safety of her men in the rear. Zhuang Xun came to put her family in a trap. Do you want to imitate King Zhao's imperial conquest?
"Your Majesty is here. The core of the entire Xia Kingdom is your Majesty. What should he do if he encounters danger when he comes to such a dangerous place?"
He Heng put it mildly. Although Zhuang Xun was his son-in-law, he was also his king. He could not speak like a wife like Li Rusi who was worried about her husband.
"As soon as he comes, let him go back. He is already a monarch, why would he do such a thing?" Li Rusi stood up in armor, and the armor plates made a clanking sound.
"Forget it, His Majesty is here. I'll go out to greet you later. This will allow him to make the decision whether to move forward or to stalemate."
He Heng's attitude changed faster. After all, he was a monarch. Li Rusi could talk about some complaints between husband and wife, but he had to keep his identity in mind.
Moreover, the arrival of Zhuang Xun unintentionally became the decision-maker in the debate between the two parties, whether they should be conservative or radical.
The two led all the high-ranking generals to greet Zhuang Xun, who was galloping all the way.
Empress Dowager Jiang got off the carriage first. She was inconspicuous in her low-grade palace dress and veil. She stretched out her hand to help Zhuang Xun down, who was being pushed up and down by the horse.
The clothes are not glamorous, but the quality of the materials can be seen at a glance. The strong spring wind makes Zhuang Xun's clothes bulge, a big dragon is looming, and a simple long sword embodies Zhuang Xun's appearance. Advocating simplicity, but with this body shape, everyone knelt down and shouted long live the mountain.
"My dear friends, please stand up. My arrival has caused trouble for you." Zhuang Xun said embarrassedly. He raised his hand and pretended to support the generals.
"I wonder what important matter your Majesty has that requires you to go to the army in person, but I don't know the news." Zhuang Xun was already in front of him, and Li Rusi would not say such angry words, but it was still necessary.
(There’s no reason why you came to the front line. I know you’re just causing trouble but you’re still here. If you don’t tell me something, I’m going to be angry.)
Li Rusi's expression probably meant this, and Zhuang Xun could understand it. She was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
"It's windy outside. Your Majesty will go into the camp first and rest for a while, and then we can discuss important matters slowly. We also have important matters that need to be decided by Your Majesty. Your Majesty's visit this time is just the right time to solve a problem for us."
He Heng spoke nicely and invited Zhuang Xun to camp first, giving Zhuang Xun a step down to avoid Zhuang Xun facing the angry Li Rusi.
"It's really windy. Let's sit down and talk." There were so many people and it was difficult for Zhuang Xun to speak.
He came all the way silently and aboveboard, in order to protect Empress Dowager Jiang. After all, Empress Dowager Jiang came alone, and even a fool would know why. But with Zhuang Xun, it would be different. The point is not Empress Dowager Jiang, but Zhuang asked.
The premise is that he is discovered by Zhao's intelligence personnel. If he is not discovered, it will just be a show. Zhuang Xun still has the skills to act as a companion.
When everyone entered the camp, Zhuang Xun said a few words and began to drive them away, leaving only Li Rusi and He Heng.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing here! Do you know that the front line is very dangerous!" After the people left, Li Rusi's eyes were red, her almond-shaped eyes were big, and Li Rusi, who was not unruly, was very angry.
"To improve your winning rate, Jiang Zhaoyi took the initiative to ask for help this time. Because the commander of the Zhao army was promoted by Zhaoyi in his early years, he wanted to persuade him to surrender."
There were no outsiders left. Zhuang Xun told the purpose of coming here. He was not the protagonist, Empress Dowager Jiang was, even if she couldn't persuade the other party to surrender and affected their military morale.
I also asked Si Qin Mi about this matter. Si Qin Mi only had one question, and that was whether Zhuang Xun himself was willing to risk Empress Dowager Jiang's escape to do this.
Zhuang Xun's answer was the same as that of Empress Dowager Jiang. He escaped and then caught her. He was afraid that Empress Dowager Jiang would leak some secrets or increase the strength of Zhao.
Si Qinmi believed that these were insignificant compared to the benefits of persuading him to surrender, and that the risk was worth taking. As long as Zhuang Xun didn't feel bad that the fun thing he had obtained slipped away like this, everything would be fine.
"Jiang Zhaoyi? Persuade to surrender?" Li Rusi was stunned for a moment, looking at Empress Dowager Jiang who was in a position outside the village and would not overwhelm her because of her tall height, with doubts in her eyes.
Although Empress Dowager Jiang had persuaded the captured Zhao soldiers to surrender and give up resistance, Li Rusi knew that they were captured. Now there were hundreds of thousands of tigers on the opposite side. Did you make a mistake in persuading them to surrender?
Could this be a way to get away? Li Rusi expressed doubts. She looked at Zhuang Xun again and hesitated to speak. Zhuang Xun, a lecherous guy, would risk letting someone go just like that?
"I know that General Li has doubts about this, but His Majesty has already agreed. Please believe in Your Majesty. Even if persuasion to surrender fails, I will come back. Your Majesty's children and I are still in Xia Kingdom."
Empress Dowager Jiang understood Li Rusi's suspicion, and it was difficult to succeed in this matter, but she really didn't want to watch the two countries fight and be taken advantage of by others in the end, and she did surrender to Zhuang Xun. Since Zhao Guo couldn't help him up, so she had no worries.
"Do you need any help from us?" He Heng saw the benefits. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, it will be a huge blow to Zhao's military morale. For Zhao, whether it is a confrontation or a decisive battle, there will be momentum. victory.
"I don't need any help. I can go by myself. I don't want you to send me away. Instead, you should be prepared. As far as I know, Wu Chengpei will not surrender easily, and his wife is in Jinyang. There is a high chance that he will not agree." Yes, so the possibility of a firefight is still huge. I will try to use my identity to seize his power, but the chance is also slim."
Empress Dowager Jiang made a request and said that she was not sure, but she still said that she would do her best to obey fate. If Zhuang Xun really had destiny, she would allow herself to seize the military power more smoothly.
"Do you really not want help from others?" Empress Dowager Jiang's frank and uncertain words made Li Rusi put down her guard at all. How could a liar be so honest and say that he could not succeed?
"The more you do, the more you do, it will easily arouse their vigilance. If you can't wait for my news, it means that I have failed. After all, Master Qingluan is here, and the success rate is really not high. If you can't wait for my news, be ready for battle. I would run back if I had the chance."
Queen Mother Jiang has even thought about the situation in which she will be imprisoned in reverse, but if there is a chance, she will indeed come back, and Zhuang Xun is still here.
"Okay." Li Rusi agreed softly. The current Empress Dowager Jiang was not picky. Li Rusi also judged people based on their behavior. Empress Dowager Jiang's words had the boldness of attending a meeting alone, which Li Rusi admired very much.
"The Xia Kingdom is my destination. Although the Zhao Kingdom was created by me, I know that the Zhao Kingdom should be eliminated and the Xia Kingdom should win. This is good for the world and the people of the world."
Her own path was wrong, but Empress Dowager Jiang devoted herself to the right path and had a kind of fanaticism as a convert. Zhuang Xun really conquered her physically and mentally, making her understand that Zhao Guohe and the family were just accumulated garbage. It was very troublesome to clean up, but in the end it was necessary. Clean up.
"Speaking of how to deal with the battle, your majesty, I have some differences with He Shangshu. I hope your majesty will make a decision." Hearing what Empress Dowager Jiang said, Li Rusi was noncommittal. Zhuang Xun's appearance just unified the entire army's thinking on whether to advance or retreat.
"Yes, I need to ask Your Majesty to make a decision. It is too risky for me to rush into a decisive battle with the Zhao army. After all, we are far behind Zhao in terms of numbers and training. I suggest that we adopt the idea of avoiding war and deal with the Zhao army more often." , with the attack of Jing State in the west, Zhao State will definitely not be able to withstand the pressure and withdraw its troops and return to defense. At that time, it will be our opportunity."
He Heng judged based on the situation that a direct decisive battle would threaten destruction, and there was no need to confront Zhao Guo head-on.
"Soldiers are trained on the battlefield, not just through training. We don't have much time. If Zhao State doesn't send troops to return reinforcements, even if it sends fewer troops to return reinforcements, once Jing State captures Zhao's capital, this army will attack Jing State." The country surrendered and was divided, wait, isn’t Jiang Zhaoyi here? I agree with He Shangshu’s strategy.”
Li Rusi's attitude made a U-turn. She seemed to have figured something out after insisting on the attack. Looking at Queen Mother Jiang's expression, she originally wanted to observe whether Queen Mother Jiang would be interested in these discussions.
It suddenly occurred to me that if the Zhao State collapsed, these 100,000 people could be fought over by Queen Mother Jiang. After all, it would be much easier for Queen Mother Jiang to persuade her to surrender and seize power at that time than when Zhao State existed.
After all, the State of Zhao is dead. Fortunately, by playing the emotional card, there is no need to supplement the strength of the State of Jing, and it can also increase the number of soldiers of the State of Xia, so naturally there is no need to be so anxious to fight a decisive battle.
"Zhaoyi, don't try to persuade them to surrender. Let's hold on to the defense, lure them, hold them back, and drag this army to death." Li Rusi suddenly became excited, figured out some joints, and kept talking without taking a break.
"What do you mean?" Queen Mother Jiang didn't know why she suddenly stopped trying to persuade her to surrender.
"It's not time yet, we have to wait..." Li Rusi was interrupted before she could finish her words.
"Report, urgent military situation!" the messenger shouted outside the door.
"Come in? Zhao Jun is coming?" Li Rusi was slightly confused and asked the messenger to come in.
"No, Zhao Jun has a tendency to evacuate. He seems to be packing up and preparing to retreat."
"Ah, they ran away before anyone was sent to persuade them to surrender?" Li Rusi was puzzled. She looked at Zhuang Xun and He Heng. Everyone was confused.
"Is this true?" Zhuang Xun couldn't help but ask.
The situation is of course true. Just a few hours ago, Zhao Guotai Lieutenant Ren Xusheng came to relieve Wu Chengpei from his military duties with an imperial edict and asked to evacuate.
"How is it possible, Lieutenant Ren? Now is the critical moment to destroy the Xia Kingdom. How can we withdraw our troops? This place is the most suitable place for the deployment of the Xuanjia Army and the most suitable place for our system to fight. We do not give the Xia Kingdom a chance to take advantage of the loopholes." , even if the opponent escapes, we can easily pursue them, so why retreat from a place like this."
The strong wind blew the tassel of Wu Chengpei's helmet, and Wu Chengpei's mood was confused. Why did he want to retreat?
Wu Chengpei couldn't understand. Why retreat in such an excellent place? This was more uncomfortable for him than removing him from the military. After all, the removal from the military might be framed by traitors. King Zhao was so determined to attack the Xia army. Xia Jun decided to fight, and now he actually gave up on this unparalleled land.
There is definitely something wrong with this order. Wu Chengpei can't believe it. King Zhao is a little paranoid, but he is not stupid, but a little crazy. Doesn't he know the good things here?
"This is His Majesty's imperial edict. If you have any questions, go back and talk to Your Majesty. Someone will come and remove General Wu's armor."
Ren Xusheng took Wu Chengpei's power with almost no effort. For generals from aristocratic families, power is not so easy to seize. It is different when you are born into a poor family. After all, the foundation is weaker. After all, the source of power is King Zhao.
When King Zhao's imperial edict was verified to be true, the general's personal foundation was gone. After all, he was acting on someone else's stage. Wu Chengpei looked around at the generals. Everyone avoided him, fearing that they would be related to him. Suddenly, Wu Chengpei felt a little sad. He didn't even know what he had done wrong.
"Organize a retreat." Summoning the generals, issuing an imperial edict, and organizing a retreat, Ren Xusheng seemed to be doing this vigorously and resolutely, because King Zhao's intention was to withdraw the army as soon as possible.
Because it is an optimized army, there are a large number of people recommended by Empress Dowager Jiang in the army. If these people listen to Empress Dowager Jiang's advice and choose to surrender, then Zhao's strongest army will become someone else's, just like his mother became someone else's. Home people.
It’s not that King Zhao doesn’t understand the importance of this position and how beneficial it is to Zhao State. If the decisive battle is successfully reached, Zhao State’s chances of winning are infinite.
He was just afraid of losing again, losing again. He couldn't accept losing to Xia Guo or Zhuang Xun again. After he completely lost his mother, he no longer wanted to lose to Zhuang Xun in any game. He didn't know how to be confident again. What are the consequences of losing Manman to Zhuang Xun.
Just as he could eliminate all difficulties for Wu Chengpei just to allow Wu Chengpei to defeat Xia State, when the Zhao army led by Wu Chengpei was in danger of failing against the Xia army, King Zhao finally decided to retreat after repeated hesitation and prepared to return to Xuannv. The idea is to fight Jing Guo first, and then deal with Xia Guo's idea.
Because of time constraints, the staffing cannot be changed for the time being. This requires time for training. At this time, Zhao Guo did not have time, so King Zhao was forced to change the plan and let the two sides switch defenses. The one who intercepted Jing Guo became the one who intercepted Xia Guo. The decisive battle against Xia State became the decisive battle against Jing State.
Xuannv watched this funny scene and really wanted to laugh.
