Chapter 497 Both sides renovated after the war

On the border of Xiao State, after a big battle, both sides were repairing it.

It was already dark at this time, and in the main account, Zhao Shun was standing in front of the sand table with several generals, studying the next step of the battle.

"Your Majesty, the Xiao Kingdom is coming this time with great force and has no intention of negotiating peace. I am afraid that Prince Xiao has issued a death order and is determined to capture these twelve border cities." General Yang said.

"That's right... Xiao Guo's soldiers regard death as a pack of wolves. It's really difficult for our soldiers to deal with them," General Zhuo said.

General Su nodded and said: "The battle just now was a life-and-death showdown. Although the winner was not decided, the morale of our army was damaged. I'm afraid it won't be easy to recover."

"Generals, please take a seat first."

As Zhao Shun spoke, he sat down at the main seat in the tent and ordered people to pour hot water for several generals.

"Your Majesty, how should we respond now?" General Su asked.

Zhao Shun picked up the water bowl and took a sip, "Don't worry, it will take at least two days to assemble the army and fight again."

"Two days... Your Majesty! We have to be ready in two days. If we just wait here, wouldn't we be at the mercy of others?" General Yang said.

"We can organize the army as normal. If Xiao Guo is unwilling to negotiate peace, I will personally go into battle to kill the enemy." Zhao Shun said.

"But... Your Majesty, you have to discuss a countermeasure before you have a chance." General Zhuo said.

"Xiao's army is indeed brave, but they can't afford to hold them back," Zhao Shun said.

General Su thought for a while and said, "It is true that the Xiao State is short of food and grass. If the war continues for two months at this juncture, the people will starve to death."

"So, what we have to do is to hold them back. Try not to start a large-scale war. It doesn't hurt to let them taste the sweetness first. In this way, it will be easier to fight back. As long as Xiao Guo cannot hold on, we will

Then the army will enter immediately." Zhao Shun said.

"Although the Xiao Kingdom is struggling to hold on, we don't have enough soldiers... Even if we have to delay, we must delay." General Su said worriedly.

"Your Majesty has issued an edict to General Zhennan. General Zhennan's eldest son will set off with the army tomorrow. Generals, although the morale of our army has been greatly reduced, this morale problem needs to be solved by the generals."

After Zhao Shun finished speaking, he looked at the generals in the tent and said: "Every move of the generals will affect morale. As long as you are firm in your hearts, then the generals will naturally be firm."

General Su clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the general will understand that the general will definitely boost morale and not demoralize him."

"General, take your orders!" the other generals said in unison.

"Okay, generals, let's get to work first," Zhao Shun said.

The generals stood up, clasped their fists and saluted, saying: "General, I will retire."

After everyone left, Zhao Shun picked up the personnel list and frowned.

"In this large-scale war, we lost one-tenth, which is quite serious." Zhao Shun said.

"Your Majesty, the other party's losses are not small, so you don't have to worry too much." Murong Duan said.

Zhao Shun put down the roster and asked, "Is there any news from Luoping City?"

"Your Majesty, some time ago, the bastard of the Qian family went to Luoping City to serve as government affairs secretary..." Murong Duan said.

"Secretary of Civil Affairs... This position belongs to the Ministry of Household Affairs. What has he done? Has he caused trouble for the Shen family?" Zhao Shun asked.

"He contacted President Song of a chamber of commerce. President Song also found some merchants and buyers and said that the medicines sold by Shen's Pharmacy were fake and that there was a beauty in the harem who also used Shen's medicine.

, saying that it delayed his condition. After the eldest son of the Shen family got the news, he rushed to Luoping City overnight." Murong Duan said.

Zhao Shun looked up at him and asked, "When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Your Majesty was busy with military affairs some time ago, so my subordinates dare not disturb him," Murong Duan said.

Zhao Shun took a deep breath and said, "Murong Duan, you are getting better and better at running errands."

"I know my mistake." Murong Duan clasped his fists quickly, lowered his head, and said: "Your Majesty, the matter in Luoping City has been solved. The princess and the others easily dismissed such a trivial matter. That's why the subordinates did not rush to tell them.

you."

"Then tell me how the princess spent her time." Zhao Shun asked.

"The princess sent people to secretly investigate. First she found President Song, sent Tao Guan'er and the others to teach him a lesson. Then she found another boss, bribed him, and wrote down his testimony. The next day, the eldest son

He took them to the Yamen with their testimonies, and those people were arrested." Murong Duan said.

Zhao Shun sneered, "This Qian Lingru, with such little means, dares to show off. Does Luoping City have other things?"

"There is another small matter. Qian Lingru also contacted the Qi family. The fourth son of the Qi family, Qi Yu, had an enmity with the princess. He secretly took Aunt Han from Zhuangzi and made a fuss in front of the Shen Mansion. But this

It also failed to affect the reputation of the Shen family. Mrs. Shen personally went out and brought her into the mansion with her maid," Murong Duan said.

"My father-in-law is a soft-hearted and nostalgic person. Shen Qingzhi is dead. He will definitely not deal with the Han family." Zhao Shun said.

"The prince is right. Han was just locked up and not punished. The princess was so angry that she ordered Tao Guan'er to poison her with scorpion poison, which did not affect her life," Murong Duan said.

"The princess is pregnant, how is her health?" Zhao Shun asked.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Princess is fine and has not been affected by these things," Murong Duan said.

"That's good." Zhao Shun picked up the roster again and said, "Murong Duan, this roster must be kept well. When this battle is over, we must express our condolences to the families of these soldiers."

"Yes. My lord, you haven't had a good meal these past few days, why not eat some first?" Murong Duan said.

"Okay, go get it." Zhao Shun said.

"yes."

Just as Murong Duan was about to go out, the soldiers who delivered the order came.

"Your Majesty, an envoy from the Xiao Kingdom has come, saying that he has something to discuss with your Majesty."

"Besides the messenger, are there others?" Zhao Shun asked.

"There is only one messenger and one of his guarding soldiers." The messenger said.

Zhao Shun frowned, what on earth is Chu Yinyin doing? Why is there no news and no appearance yet?

"Let them come in." Zhao Shun said.

"yes."

Murong Duan was not in a hurry to pay the bill, but returned to Zhao Shun and said: "Your Majesty, the envoy is here, most likely to seek peace."

"What qualifications does a messenger have to negotiate terms with this king?" Zhao Shun said.

"That's right... Miss Chu has not shown up yet, nor has she received any news." Murong Duan said.

"Chu Yinyin's wings are strong, her glory and wealth are charming. It seems that she has forgotten the hatred of the past." Zhao Shun said.

At this time, the soldiers entered the tent with the Xiao State envoy and a Xiao State soldier.

Seeing the Xiao soldier, Zhao Shun curled his lips slightly.

"See Prince Regent."

The envoy and the soldiers of Xiao State touched their shoulders with one hand and leaned down to salute.

"The messenger came late at night, but what news does His Highness Prince Xiao ask you to bring?" Zhao Shun said.

"Back to the regent, he is not Prince Xiao, but the princess."

After the messenger finished speaking, he glanced at the Xiao soldier next to him. The Xiao soldier winked at him, and he immediately withdrew from the main account.
