Back Off, Let Me Come

"Brother Zhaode is looking for me?" Shen Tang counted the time in his mind and said with a smile, "I have been so busy these days that I have forgotten about business. Brother Zhaode is quite able to bear it. I thought it was righteous. Once this incident comes out, he will be unable to sit still within two days."

Huang Lie's three younger brothers were killed and two were captured.

This means that the power that Huang Lie has worked so hard to accumulate over the years now has no foundation left. The remaining troops have no backbone to rely on and are falling apart. The common people who were coaxed and followed by Huang Lie are also scattered. Qianzhou is already in the bag, only the final takeover procedure is left. As one of the heroes, Wu Zhaode also had the right to share the results of the war, but Shen Tang did not mention this matter.

This does not bode well for Wu Xian.

Shen Tang has recently made drastic measures to rectify various counties and counties in Yanzhou, but she did not discuss this matter with Wu Xian. She obviously regards Yanzhou as her own territory. If Wu Xian continues to remain silent and Shen Tang continues to pretend to be deaf and mute and continues to send people to clean up the mess in Qianzhou, then he won't get anything good no matter how much he wants to speak. Coupled with the fact that Zhao Feng picked up Tianhai's military exploits, Wu Xian came.

Shen Tang and a group of staff had a good idea of ​​Wu Xian's thoughts, and Qin Li had been assisting Wu Xian for many years. These seven or eight points were directly improved to ten points. So she happily went to the appointment.

Shen Tang also specially brought Qin Li and Zhao Feng.

Emmm…

Of course she didn't mean to be disgusting.

If Wu Xian wants to take issue with Zhao Fengbai's military merit, the two parties will naturally have to go to court. He should not just listen to the words of Tianhai's family, but also listen to what Zhao Feng, who is extremely lucky, has to say. It was reasonable for her to bring Zhao Feng over for the appointment, but Qin Li——

A new (honey) hand (month) period for new additions!

It was reasonable and reasonable for Shen Tang to take him wherever he went. A man as generous as Mr. Wu would understand.

A group of them appeared, and Wu Xian's mouth twitched fiercely.

Shen Tang pretended not to see it, smiling to herself and caring about Wu Xian's recovery. If the army lacked good doctors and medicines, even though her family was poor, she was willing to do her best for her brother's well-being. Sincere and sincere, everyone who hears it is moved.

Wu Xian's smile was slightly forced: "Thank you very much for Sister Shen's concern. I have been taking care of my brother's doctor these days, and my recovery is acceptable. It's just that I am getting old, and my energy and blood are not as strong as those of young people. If Brother is the age of Sister Shen, Years old, now I can go hunting and galloping, alas - time is really not forgiving."

He originally wanted to make things worse, hinting that she shouldn't act too much, and that as a patient, he couldn't have emotional ups and downs.

However, Shen Tang climbed up the pole, his almond-shaped eyes full of worry: "Brother Zhaode is in the prime of his youth, why do he feel sad about his old age? My younger sister had an unfortunate life experience. She lost her parents when she was young, her brothers and sisters died one after another, and she was left alone. I have been living in exile until now, and it is not easy to have a brother like Brother Zhaode. If something unexpected happens to you, my little sister will really be helpless in this world."

As he spoke, his eyes sparkled with crystal water.

Which man in the world doesn't like beautiful women crying?

Although Shen Tang looks bare-faced all day long, his face is very good-looking, his eyebrows are green but not drawn, his lips are red but not stained, and his facial features are deeper and more three-dimensional than ordinary people. In terms of bare makeup alone, it is too much beyond ordinary people. If you dress up a little, I am afraid that the sixth palace pink and white will have no color.

Ordinary people will appreciate people who have no power but are beautiful, but the powerful will plunder them and only let this flower bloom in their own homes.

But what about powerful and beautiful people?

Ordinary people will be afraid, and powerful people will pursue her power.

Beauty?

That's just the most inconspicuous label on her body.

Wu Xian belongs to the "powerful", and Shen Tang's appearance is concealed by her power. At this moment, she showed a rare vulnerability, which made Wu Xian notice this inconspicuous label. What is more attractive than the beauty in tears is the beauty in tears at the peak of power.

Even Wu Xian was stunned for a moment.

In an instant, he reacted and subconsciously softened his tone.

"Don't worry, Sister Shen, my brother is in good health."

Shen Tang patted his chest, his eyes moved, and a smile seemed to flash at the end of his eyes: "Then I'll be relieved, little sister."

After that, she took her seat.

When Wu Xian came to his senses, the atmosphere in the tent was a little strange.

The expressions of the people on his side were as dark as the bottom of the pot, and the expressions of the people on Shen Tang's side were also very unkind, vaguely indicating that a storm was about to come.

Wu Xian: "..."

I couldn't help but slap myself in the face.

He had never seen any beauties, yet he was so distracted by his ally Shen Tang. At that moment, his mind was even more blank. This realization made Wu Xian feel relieved before he got to the point of today's meeting. On the other hand, Shen Tang seemed fine.

It’s just that the inner activities are richer.

The tone of voice was ups and downs: [Tsk, tsk, power, it is indeed the best medical beauty for women. There are still people who will appreciate my peerless appearance, which is as beautiful as the moon and the flowers. 】

Gu Chi: "..."

Today's appointment is to reach preliminary opinions on dividing the results of the war, and naturally Gu Chi is indispensable. It's just that before he got down to business, he first heard a bunch of boasts from his own lord.

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Gu Chi would have wanted to cover his ears.

He couldn't help but tell Shen Tang: "What's so good about being admired by a bunch of old men in the backyard like Wu Xian?" 】

Shen Tang responded: [A gentleman with substance will see the light under the skin, while a vulgar person will only see the skin. Wu Zhaode is vulgar, but you are the true gentlemen. However, there are too many people who appreciate the brilliance of my soul under my skin, and occasionally they need vulgar praise to lighten their mood. Wangchao, what do you think? 】

Gu Chi: [……]

Alas, how would he respond to this?

Qin Li noticed that Gu Chi's face suddenly turned ugly, and couldn't help but cast a worried look - although Gu Chi's image of a sickly and frail gentleman in his mind had collapsed, the two were colleagues after all. If Gu Chi was really in trouble, he wouldn't sit idly by.

Gu Chi only responded with a forced smile.

Why does he look ugly?

Because I was disgusted by my lord!

The person who is going to be disgusted by Shen Tang today is Wu Xian.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Wu Xian followed the topic and turned to Zhao Feng's taking away the Tianjin Navy's meritorious service. Because Zhao Feng was a former employee and had invested in his current allies, Wu Xian's tone was very gentle. It was as if he just asked that question without any purpose...

Shen Tang was stunned for a moment: "Is this the case?"

As he spoke, he turned to look down at Zhao Feng, put down the tea bowl, and said in a serious tone: "Da Yi, when did this happen? Tell me everything, and don't hide a word!"

Zhao Feng came out and clasped his fists, passionate and generous, full of righteousness!

"Reporting to my lord, the so-called 'stealing the military glory of allies' is completely untrue. On that day, the general was ordered to supervise the delivery of food and grass. When he went to a mountainous field, the scout reported that there were traces of enemy soldiers ahead. In order to protect the food and grass, the general led After the battle, this person came out and said it belonged to them. How could the general recognize it? These people had their names written on them?"

Shen Tang nodded while listening.

"Oh, you mean that before Dayi took action, he didn't see Brother Zhaode's troops? He was not informed until he captured the enemy?"

Zhao Feng nodded heavily: "That's true!"

Shen Tang has expressed his stance to Zhao Feng a long time ago, and he is full of confidence.

"Brother Zhaode, how can this be considered robbery?"

"Sister Shen, it's just because of brother that you are making trouble unreasonably." Wu Xian sighed softly and reasoned with Shen Tang in a chatty tone, "Normally this matter shouldn't come to you, but military commanders value military merit most. In order to force them to Entering the encirclement, Tianhai also lost some soldiers and horses. Without Dayi's intervention, this group of homeless dogs would not be able to escape from the dragnet. They were exhausted and could not escape far. In the end, Dayi took the head. After all their previous efforts, How can the generals be willing to give up after everything has been wasted?"

"Brother Zhaode, my little sister doesn't agree with what you said."

But Shen Tang didn't follow Wu Xian's tactics.

She said in a gentle but irrefutable tone: "Generals fight with their heads tied to their belts. Surviving on the battlefield depends not only on strength, but also on a bit of luck. Otherwise, why would you wish to congratulate 'military fortune'?" The generals of Tianhai worked hard to plan the siege, but in the end they still allowed the enemy to break through, which shows that they were lucky. But his luck was not better than that of Dayi after all."

Why should you claim to be robbing a military merit obtained by luck?

"Furthermore, this is not something that Dayi took the initiative to beg for. He just happened to be passing by, and the enemy happened to bump into him. As a general, he naturally has to put the safety of food and grass first. Killing bandits is a matter of course. It is impossible for him to ask before taking action. Where did they come from and who are they? All of you here are warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles. Isn’t it normal to win battles but return without success?"

It's all luck!

Zhao Feng's military fortunes were prosperous, and his military exploits came to his doorstep.

Others don't have this luck, so they just stare.

Surrounding the thieves and beating them for a long time, only to beat them to a pulp, what does this mean? It shows that force is not good and output is not good. When someone else slashed the boss, only half of his blood vessels were left. After a group of them fought for a long time, the blood was still left. How about scraping each one?

If Gua Sha was scraped faster, how could it be Zhao Feng's turn?

All in all, Zhao Feng's military exploits are reasonable and reasonable.

If the generals of Tianhai have any opinions, don't mention them.

Are you still embarrassed to show off your scraping output?

Wu Xian was choked by Shen Tang's righteous speech. Thousands of words were stuck in his throat, and General Tianhai's complexion turned black to ashes. One of them wanted to stand up to argue angrily, but was quickly suppressed by the quick eyesight and hands of the people around him.

Shen Tang seemed unable to see this and said with a smile: "However, you and I are closely related, so how can we divide these things? The generals have toil without hard work, and the soldiers also need to be rewarded - Brother Zhaode, how about this, these Will I pay the loss?"

She was generous and easy to talk to, except for the slogan "I am a good old man, come and chop me" written on her face.

Wu Xian was holding back even more anger.

A general in Tianhai slapped the table and stood up.

"Who cares about these things of yours?"

Shen Tang was startled by the sudden sound, and her shoulders shook. The guards on both sides immediately drew their swords and stood in front of her, with a posture of "If you want to hurt my lord, step over our bodies first." Wu Xian didn't want to make things worse...

Today, whenever someone from Tianhai exposes a weapon to Shen Tang, it is equivalent to handing a ready-made handle to dispatch troops into her hands. What kind of military power is Shen Tang worth? She is a sixteenth-level master. You still want to keep her here without any preparations?

Wu Xian made a face and scolded the dumbfounded general: "You bastard, if you commit the following offense, why don't you apologize to Sister Shen?"

The general's face turned pale and he held his fists to apologize.

He also didn't expect Shen Tang's reaction to be so great, suddenly elevating an ordinary conflict to a armed conflict. He was loud and resentful, but he definitely had no murderous intentions.

Shen Tang observed for a while and was sure that the general had no other actions, then he started to wave away the guards: "You guys go down, this is Brother Zhaode's camp, what danger can I be in? Your posture is frightening. It’s a misunderstanding.”

This episode caused Tianhai to miss the opportunity to bargain. Shen Tang was only willing to promise to compensate for some losses and give up military honors or something, no way! Wu Xian, an old fox, chose to put aside this topic for the time being and instead talked about the division of territory.

Shen Tang seemed unable to hear his hint.

Asked: "Which counties in Qianzhou does Brother Zhaode want?"

The word Yanzhou was not mentioned at all.

Wu Xian's face was almost distorted.

What's the point of being a state?

It would be useless to give him all Qianzhou. There is Yanzhou in the middle. How to manage the enclave? Wu Xian wanted to claim part of Lingzhou, especially Shangnan and Yiru, which Gu Renzhanghe had run for many years, so that he could be connected with Tianhai and have an appropriate offense and defense.

In this way, Xu Jie's He Yin is also included.

Even though Xu Jie was a little estranged from him, the situation was so overwhelming that Xu Jie couldn't escape from his grasp and couldn't run far. On this basis, Yanzhou was divided into two counties. He doesn't need anything else. Judging from the territory, Wu Xian's request was not excessive.

He completely gave up Qianzhou to Shen Tang.

Not only is it not excessive, but its appearance is also very low.

Wu Xian even promised Shen Tang that if he agreed to this plan, he, as an ally, would send troops to help her attack Kunzhou. It's all out of love, without asking for anything in return, and it can be regarded as his brother's support for his sister. This is a very big pie!

Shen Tang laughed in her heart. She had always been the only one who painted cakes for others. She never thought that one day she would be able to eat cakes painted for her by others.

Although the plan given by Wu Xian seemed to give her a big advantage at first glance, Shen Tang and her think tank were not stupid.

Agreeing to this plan would do far more harm than good.

Firstly, the border line of Shen Tang's territory was stretched too long, and the overall shape was a slender and sharply curved "C". If he turned back to capture Kunzhou, he would have to face the border pressure of the Northern Desert; secondly, the people who got the allotment were all experienced people. The reconstruction of war-torn areas requires countless manpower, energy and financial resources. Shen Tang does not have enough health packs, and the pace of the next few years will be delayed.

The dozen or so large and small counties with Shannan County and Yiru County as the core, under the management of Gu Ren and Zhang He for many years, have not been exposed to war for many years. In terms of wealth and population, their combined wealth and population are unmatched by even a large state. In troubled times, food, grass and youth are the most important things, and Wu Xian has a big appetite.

But Wu Xian showed enough "sincerity".

Instead of the whole Qianzhou, Yanzhou only has two inconspicuous small counties. Lingzhou is his home field. It is reasonable for him to want Yiru and Shangnan in Lingzhou. For this reason, he even promised to help Shen Tang conquer Kunzhou... ...As an ally, Shen Tang can't really say "no". Who gave her such a good reputation?

Shen Tang didn't express his position for a long time.

At this time, Qin Li came out and handed over.

Wu Xian's scalp was slightly numb, and he had an ominous feeling.

Shen Tang asked him: "Is there something wrong with Gongsu?"

Qin Li's phoenix eyes were covered with red threads, and his expressions were filled with resentment and shame. He suppressed his anger and made accusations.

"Li believes that the matter discussed between the Lord and Wu Gong is inappropriate. Shangnan Guren is a true gentleman in the world, and he and his sworn brothers are all true heroes. In the Dragon Slaying Bureau, he spared no effort to eradicate the traitors and kill the tyrants. Unfortunately, he was raped He was harmed by others! Everyone in the world sighs and laments! Such an outstanding person still has blood in the world. How can he take away his family wealth and deceive his orphans and widowed mother to have no one to rely on? According to etiquette, Shangnan and its old tribe should be inherited by his descendants! So! , in order to show the alliance between the Dukes and Gu Gong..."

Alas, where are Gu Ren's relatives?

PS: Today when I was shopping at Xiaohongshu, I saw an interesting comment on a book recommendation post. It said, "Brother Emperor, is this called loving the heroine?" I feel sorry for the heroine and let her go to the border to fight? 】_(:з」∠)_It’s because Shiitake Mushrooms can’t keep up with the trend. Letting the princess control the army and fight the war, isn’t this called pampering? I love you so much.

ps: In fact, what Shiigugu doesn’t understand is some of the settings of the novel. The male protagonist who is not favored by the prince and the male protagonist who is the prince all go to the border to fight in the army to make a future, and return after a few years... No, that is military power! Military power! That is a military power that is powerful enough to enable rebellion! Which emperor doesn't rack his brains and hold it in his hands? The military power that the crown prince had always dreamed of acquiring was actually the standard equipment for the male protagonist who was the unfavored prince. The reasons are all the same: it's hard to fight and you may lose your life, you're not favored, you're left to fend for yourself... Who wants to gain military power and want the support of soldiers and generals but not risk their lives? Do you really think that with the tiger talisman in my hand, I have the world?
