After the father of the subjugated country secretly read my heart, he became angry.

"General Duoti, what suggestions do you have for the competition between our sergeants on both sides?"

On the same day, Xiao Yunzhou called Duo Ti to the imperial study room.

He introduced Xishan Commander Hou Yuchuan to Duoti, "Duoti, you can speak freely."

Xiao Yunzhou was also afraid that Duoti, who was in Jingguo but was worried about his feelings, would attack his precious little princess.

He asked Wei Zheng to take the nanny and hold little Princess behind the screen in the imperial study room.

"But it depends on His Majesty Jingguo's command." Duoti was stocky and his voice was like a bell, and he touched his chest with his right hand.

He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looks particularly kind and honest, and does not seem to be a very thoughtful person.

From beginning to end, the stance was meticulous and very obedient.

Hou Yuchuan, who was standing nearby, had good feelings in his eyes, "Prairie warriors, seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. After the competition, let's have a drink."

After Duoti hesitated, he nodded, "Thank you for the hospitality."

He seems to be socially awkward.

Xiao Yunzhou was speechless.

If Xiao Yunzhou hadn't known in advance that Duoti had been bribed by the King of Chu and was full of tricks, Xiao Yunzhou would have almost believed Duoti's "honest and honest" persona.

[Ouch, this Duoti is a cruel person. 】

[Pretending is nothing. When he was bullied, beaten and scolded by his brothers, he didn't say a word and endured the humiliation. 】

Xiao Chuchu saw the armor on Duoti in the study through the gap in the screen.

After hearing Duoti's "watertight" speech, she instantly thought of the "live broadcast" she had seen in the studio these past two days.

[In the past few days in Fanguan, the Ministry of Rites was clearly serving him with fine clothes and fine food, but he didn't even want it. 】

Xiao Chuchu clicked her tongue, sighing with emotion at this man's patience and perseverance.

[As long as the emperor's father went to Xishan, he lived a homeless life in Fanguan. 】

"?" Xiao Yunzhou was stunned.

[On a very cold day, he didn't light a brazier in his room in Fanguan, and he didn't sleep on a bed or brocade quilt. He only used a straw mat on the ground to make the floor, and slept in his clothes. 】

[He did not eat a bite of the sumptuous meals and fine wines prepared by Fan Guan, but sent them back as they were, saying only that he had brought extra prairie food. 】

[In the end, I almost had to chew the bark. 】

"!"

Xiao Yunzhou stared at Duoti, who didn't seem to be very haggard in front of him.

What is this for?

A while ago, didn't my daughter say that Chu Guohua bribed Duoti with heavy gifts?

He thought that Duoti was a money-lover, so he ordered the Ministry of Etiquette to take good care of him, and he would not hesitate to do anything about it.

"Ahem, Duoti, you've been living in Fanguan these days, are you still used to it?"

Xiao Yunzhou couldn't help but be curious and asked directly.

"When I travel to Xishan, I don't know if the people in Fanguan are still taking good care of you?"

A trace of confusion flashed across Duoti's face, but he quickly nodded, "Everything is fine."

Xiao Yunzhou pursed his lips.

all good? What a fart!

How come the Chu State was able to bribe Duoti with huge sums of money, and his country was well-dressed and well-fed, while Duoti was deprived of oil and salt and turned into a saint with a breeze on his sleeves?

[Ouch, I know this question. 】

When Xiao Chuchu heard the conversation in the study, hehehe.

[The entourage around Duoti is actually a counselor secretly, and he advises him not to be so miserable. 】

[But Duoti refused to listen and said that most of his subordinates were so poor. Therefore, he must never forget this kind of suffering, so that he can insist on convincing himself that doing things for King Chu is meaningful. 】

【Follow the King of Chu so that his subordinates can live like human beings. Only by uniting with the Chu State can the grassland improve the lives of its soldiers. 】

[Most of the heavy gifts given to him by the King of Chu were given to the families of his old subordinates who were dead or severely disabled, and he actually didn't keep much for himself. 】

[Aww, Duo Ti’s home on the grassland is the same way. Because he was too extreme and too austere, his wife couldn't stand him and they were separated all year round. 】

"..." Xiao Yunzhou was shocked.

[By the way, Duoti also complained about the counselors. Emperor Jingguo was used to enjoying it. Fanguan’s civil servants were also well-dressed and well-fed, and the monks had more food than food. After all, Jingguo’s soldiers would definitely not get any good treatment. 】

[No wonder Jingguo’s soldiers are incompetent. 】

The corner of Xiao Yunzhou's mouth twitched and he looked into the imperial study. Duoti glanced at Hou Yuchuan from time to time.

He just thought that Duoti was pretending to be kind.

Now it seems that Duoti's eyes sympathize with Hou Yuchuan and the soldiers of the country! ?

[Duoti feels that the treatment of Jing Guobing is 80% worse than that of the grassland. After all, their Khan still attaches great importance to soldiers and horses, but resources are scarce in the grassland in winter. 】

[So, he has become more determined to listen to the arrangements of Chu State these days. 】

[I made up my mind to push the grassland map into the arms of the people of Jingguo on the day of the discussion to sow discord between the two countries. 】

Xiao Yunzhou was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Duoti had so many inner dramas!

Where did he come to the conclusion that Jing Guobing was suffering?

"Brother Duoti, you have been in Fanguan these days and haven't gone anywhere?" Hou Yuchuan saw that the emperor had not spoken for a long time, as if he was deep in thought. He was afraid that Duoti would feel slighted, so he started to greet him.

"Well, I didn't go out." Duoti was very cautious and obviously didn't want to run around before the big thing was completed.

"In the restaurant next to the restaurant, there is a storyteller who keeps telling stories about the battlefield, and I don't feel bored listening to it."

Xiao Yunzhou finally came to his senses, and when he heard Duoti's answer, he wanted to nod, but instead he heard his daughter's strange heartbeat.

[Oh... Duo Ti still has the nerve to talk about this. The storyteller from the restaurant next door was talking about the vigorous development of Jingguo this year compared to previous years. 】

[This year we have money to raise pigs and ducks. Our money is booming and the people are very happy. 】

[But Duoti didn't hear the second half of the storyteller's words. He only heard the storyteller talk about how everything was going wrong in the future country, and Duke Ding was still scolding the court in the street for not paying the army. 】

[After Dingguo Gong was drunk, he always liked to talk about the hard days when he led the army to fight... There was a shortage of military pay and no military rations... People froze to death in the ice and snow, and they ate horses when they were hungry. After eating the horses, they wanted to eat the dead ones. Enemy troops... storytellers all know this, and it has been used in the latest jokes about remembering the bitter and thinking of the sweet. 】

[As a result, Duoti was frightened after hearing this. He felt that our Jingguo soldiers were more miserable than the grassland soldiers. Haha. 】

The corners of Xiao Yunzhou's mouth twitched.

Rumors are really more powerful than tigers!

It’s not okay to take quotes out of context.

Xiao Yunzhou turned his complicated eyes to Duoti, who was still sympathetic to Hou Yuchuan.

"General Duoti, I just thought of it."

"The diplomatic relations between our two countries are not suitable for fighting or killing."

"How about this. In this competition, the ten of you prairie warriors will be divided into two groups of five, and you will cooperate with our Jingguo elites respectively."

"Form two teams, one with ten people to attack and one with ten to defend."

"Let's do this. Duoti, you will be the commander-in-chief, and Commander Hou will be the deputy-general. You will be in one group and be responsible for the attack."

"For another group of defenses, I will appoint the Duke as the main general and another prairie warrior as the deputy general."

Duoti and Hou Yuchuan were both stunned.

This is different from what they thought.

Xiao Yunzhou's expression was subtle, "The relationship between the grassland and Jingguo is not antagonistic. This discussion is more important than communication."

"From today onwards, there will be ten people for defense and ten people for attack. Two groups of sergeants will disrupt the grassland and Jingguo's subordinates. They will eat, live and train together for three days in total."

"Three days later, an offensive and defensive battle will be held in Majiapo."

Xiao Yunzhou leaned forward eagerly.

[Ouch, is this an ancient version of a military exercise? 】

Xiao Chuchu hissed.

Xiao Yunzhou's eyes lit up. "Drill" is really the right word. It is worthy of being in the fairy world.

"That's it. Commander Hou, you take General Duoti and select four grassland warriors and four Jingguo sergeants to form a ten-man attack team."

"Immediately, go to the Beijing Camp to rest and train!"

Xiao Yunzhou narrowed his eyes.

Duoti must be shown the real conditions of their military camp by Sergeant Jing Guo!

Duoti misunderstood that he had too many kingdoms!

"By the way, when you enter the capital camp, you don't need to bring your belongings with you." Xiao Yunzhou looked at Duoti meaningfully.

"!"

Duoti, who wanted to bring the grassland map to blame Jingguo, was shocked physically and mentally.
