The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Although Ge Dongqing was born as a civil servant, he had visited various states and lobbied everywhere. He was a person who had truly been out and about, and had seen the world. His sense of smell and sensitivity were not higher than others, but they were certainly not inferior to anyone present here. Cheng Feng asked the right person, and he only listened to Ge Dongqing's slow analysis: "It's easy to fight, but if Zhao Guangyi's army suffered heavy losses, he would definitely come to reinforce."

Suiying said, "The strength of the Southern Yan Kingdom cannot be underestimated. I don't know how many people Zhao Guangyi has. They have suffered many casualties in these battles, but their momentum has always been strong. Sha Guanghan said that this man can mobilize an army of 50,000, but we don't know his strength." Although Suiying won the battle, it can be seen that the Southern Yan Kingdom is not weak.

Ge Dongqing said: "I have been an envoy to the Southern Yan Kingdom, and I have also traveled to the Southern Yan Kingdom. The two strongest generals of the Southern Yan Kingdom are Zhao Guangyi and Nan Qianchen. The military power of the Southern Yan Kingdom is in the hands of these two people. What Sha Guanghan said is definitely not groundless. They all have spies, so this kind of information will not be too biased. It is difficult to deal with Zhao Guangyi alone. If Nan Qianchen also comes, even if the court sends two Zou Sanduo, they will not be able to defend it."

Hearing this, Shang Xi stood up and said, "You guys chat slowly, I'm leaving first. Excuse me."

Suiying couldn't bear it anymore and tried to persuade Shang Xi to stay, almost grabbing her hand, "Young Madam, don't be in a hurry to leave. I've just started. There are still many stories to tell, which are very exciting."

Shang Xi said, "Before I heard what you said, I was already panicking, for I was afraid that the enemy would reach my doorstep. After hearing what you said, I am even more scared. Suiying, congratulations on your victory, but I won't listen to you anymore. I'll go home and dig a tunnel. There is nothing more reliable than digging a tunnel."

Suiying said: "You can still hide in the tunnel for a lifetime. The underground secret passage can only help you hide for a while, but it can also help you seize the secret for a lifetime."

Shang Xi said, "I want to understand that the culprit of the Southern Yan Kingdom's attack on Fengying is the emperor. He has repeatedly reduced the number of soldiers stationed in Fengying. This man is too incompetent and unjust. If I lose the battle, I will not struggle. I would rather become a citizen of the Southern Yan Kingdom in the future. Anyway, I can't die. Let's go, Cheng Youning, don't listen here, go home with your mother and work."

Cheng Youning sat here and listened for a long time, but he didn't understand anything. However, he didn't want to leave. He wanted to understand what the adults said, so he said to his mother: "Mom, I still don't understand anything. Let me listen for a while."

Shang Xi said: "This is not something a child like you can listen to. Come back with mother."

Wan Lianxing spoke up at this time: "Let my great grandson listen here. As the future successor of the Wan family, you must cultivate this keen sense of smell and the ability to judge right and wrong from an early age. Shang Xi, don't always treat Cheng Youning as a child."

After hearing Wan Lianxing's words, Cheng Youning, who had already jumped off the chair and was about to leave with Shang Xi, sat back on the chair and said to Shang Xi, "Mom, you go home first. I'll tell you when I understand it."

Shang Xi shook her head helplessly and had to go back alone.

Yuhua had packed her luggage several times, going back and forth between leaving and not leaving, until finally she was at a loss.

"What did the man sent out by the Marquis say? Will the war still be fought?"

Shang Xi sighed and said, "I don't know whether they will fight or not, but I heard from Suiying that they won six consecutive battles at the Songchun Pass."

When Yuhua heard this, she immediately became energetic and put down the package in her hand and said, "What are you afraid of? This is a victory. I won't go back."

Shang Xi looked at Yuhua, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Are you not afraid anymore?"

"I have won the battle, so what do I have to fear?"

Shang Xi really didn't dare to tell Yuhua what she had heard in the hall. Based on the few short sentences she heard, she knew that this matter had just begun. However, she figured it out: life and death are predestined, wealth and honor are in the hands of God, and she should live one day at a time. She bowed to fate and accepted her fate.

Everyone in the prefectural governor's mansion was busy welcoming these people who had returned from the victorious battle, but far away in the court in Bianjing, a group of people were busy framing them.

Under normal circumstances, the emperor should be happy that Sha Guanghan won the battle, but at this moment, his face was extremely dark, as he was listening to his favorite ministers openly gossiping in the court. Not only did he not judge the truthfulness and motives of these people's words, but just by looking at his face that looked like he was going to lose his country, he knew that he had listened to all the slander.

"Your Majesty, this Zou Sanduo is a lucky general. He was just appointed as the commander of Fengying, and Fengying won six consecutive victories."

"Give me a reward and draft an order."

An upright minister stood up. He didn't want to interrupt, but as a minister of rites, he couldn't bear it any longer: "Your Majesty, this victory is the credit of Sha Guanghan, and has nothing to do with Zou Sanduo, the commander. Besides, Zou Sanduo hasn't even arrived at Fengying yet. He didn't contribute any manpower or effort. How can this credit fall on him? If you want to reward someone, it should go to Sha Guanghan, the deputy commander."

"How many soldiers does Sha Guanghan have? Can he fight with only more than a thousand men under his command? It's all thanks to the help of Wan Lianxing's guards." The speaker was the treacherous minister just now. It was obvious that this man was in cahoots with Zou Sanduo.

The upright Minister of Rites said, "Can you blame Sha Guanghan for this? Why does he have no soldiers? It's because you repeatedly advised Fengying to reduce its troops. That is an important pass between the two countries. Can only 3,500 people defend it? There is a reason why the enemy can attack Songchun Pass."

"Minister Li, you are blaming the emperor for his incorrect decision. According to you, Sha Guanghan should be allowed to lead his own troops, right?"

"I dare not, but you and I do not know whether Sha Guanghan has a large army and is self-reliant. I think more than 3,000 people are not as many as your guards. This can be called self-reliant. You are really exaggerating. How is this different from framing Sha Guanghan? Sha Guanghan has been guarding the border for eight years and has fought countless battles, big and small. Now you are accusing him of being self-reliant. Instead of framing him like this, you might as well say he is rebelling."

"You bold Minister Li, I think you are in cahoots with Wan Lianxing. You actually questioned the emperor's decision. The emperor is the supreme ruler, the true dragon emperor. The emperor can reward or demote whomever he wants. It is not your turn as the Minister of Rites to butt in."

"I, a minister of rites, can't even get a say, let alone you. Anyway, in my opinion, if there is any reward, it should be given to Sha Guanghan. The credit belongs to whoever it is."
