Someone always wants me to be a courtier [Rebirth]

The wind howled on the tower, but the two were close, and Xie Xuan's voice was still heard clearly in Shen Ju's ears.

Shen Ju would rather not hear clearly.

"What did you say, Your Highness?"

After waiting stubbornly for a while, seeing that Xie Xuan didn't change his mind or explain in the slightest, Shen Ju finally asked.

If he hadn't confirmed that Xie Xuan hadn't suffered any mental blow recently, he would never have asked this question.

After following such an incomprehensible master, it is reasonable to go home and pack up your things and run away before Qingzhou and Jiaozhou are handed over.

Just as the sentry came again, the man dressed as an ordinary soldier hurried up the tower, knelt down on one knee and was about to speak, but Xie Xuan stopped him with a wave of his hand.

"Understood, let's go down."

The whistle raised his head because he didn't understand, got up and walked away in a daze, and there were only two people left on the tower.

Shen Ju frowned watching all this, feeling a little restless in his heart.

"What happened this time is the king's fault." Concerned about the identity of the person next to him, Shen Ju was holding back, but suddenly a word came from his ear.

Eh?

He raised his head in surprise, but listened to Xie Xuan continue.

"You and I know how many troops can be drawn from the court. Qingzhou is now more than half in my hands, and Jiaozhou has been operated for many years. It has the right time and place. It doesn't matter if it is the Marquis of Xiangyang or the Marquis of Huainan. The king is [-]% sure of defeating the enemy."

"If this battle is won, there will be no difficulty in getting to Jinling. At that time, the soldiers will come to the city..."

Even Su Yanzhao is powerless.

There was no one around, and Xie Xuan was showing his sincerity, but Shen Ju felt that...

He understood it, but he didn't understand it.

It wasn't Xiangyang Hou Huainan Hou who came, but someone else, would Xie Xuan be afraid?

"Su Yanzhao was born in the imperial examination for many years in the ups and downs of the officialdom. He usually only knows that he is good at internal affairs. Even if his father, Duke Dingguo, is well-known, we may not have no chance of winning. Why does your highness spoil his own prestige with others' ambition?"

Seeing his confidant sincerely planning for himself, Xie Xuan secretly sighed.

He and Su Yanzhao could be considered to have grown up together since childhood, because of some petty thoughts that are not humane, his understanding of Su Yanzhao is much deeper than ordinary people imagine.

Apart from being familiar with the art of war since he was a child, the player who Shen Jusuo thought was "only good at internal affairs" was by no means, Wen Zong knew exactly who was planning behind him in several battles during Wenzong's time.

Xie Xuan admitted that he had also led troops on the battlefield and had a record of not being a bandit, so he really wanted to face Su Yanzhao...

Not at all sure.

What's more, if you take ten thousand steps back, what if you are lucky that he won?

Unintentionally explaining, Xie Xuan simply and rudely moved away from the topic; "Chang Shi thinks, how long will it take me to select tens of thousands of elites from the army, provide enough horses and food, and go straight to Jinling around Yunzhou?"

Before he had time to think about the deep meaning of the words, Shen Ju calculated subconsciously, and then replied; "If you don't feel sorry for the horses traveling day and night, passing around Yunzhou, you can arrive in less than a month."

After he finished speaking, he felt a little taste, and opened his eyes wide in disbelief; "What does your highness mean, abandon Qingzhou and Jiaozhou, and only want Jinling regardless of loss?"

Not to mention whether it will be successful, even if Jinling is won, what should Su Yanzhao do to establish a new king based on his own prestige?

Is my prince crazy?

Of course Xie Xuan is not crazy, at least he thinks he is sober enough.

After a brief shock, looking at Xie Xuan's decision-making appearance, Shen Ju gradually began to think about this idea, a flash of light briefly flashed in his eyes, and then quickly disappeared, hesitatingly said; Forever."

"It's already beyond redemption."

Outside Shunyang City hung a completely different flag from the city under Xie Qi's rule, and the patrolling soldiers wore red bandages on their arms. Everything indicated that he had no way of turning back.

As the sky gradually darkened, under the cover of the night, Xie Xuan took a deep look at the direction where Su Yanzhao was camping as mentioned by the spies, as if he was admonishing but also as a supplement; "These days when the king is going to fight, please trouble Chang Shi for a little longer."

The third day of confrontation between the two armies.

Su Yanlian held the long sword at his waist, frowned, and looked in the direction of Shunyang City not far away.

The gates were closed tightly, and the city walls that had been attacked not long ago had been re-fortified and made indestructible. There were a considerable number of soldiers on the towers waiting in full force. It was foreseeable that once the battle started, it would be a tough battle.

He sighed and walked in the direction of the Chinese military tent.

The tent was full of people.

In addition to his elder brother, there is also the supervisor sent by the court, the younger brother of Chen Chen, the official censor, called Chen Quan.Most of the rest of the generals are from his father's old department, and they have known each other since childhood.

Su Yanzhao raised his head to see Su Yanlian coming in, put down the scroll in his hand, and said, "King Cheng still can't hold on?"

Su Yanlian nodded heavily.

Shunyang City is an important town in Qingzhou. There are many people in the city, and the high city and deep pool are the most difficult to attack. Even if the casualties of soldiers are not counted, the repair cost after it is defeated is not a small sum.

Not only Shen Ju wanted to fight, Su Yanzhao also wanted to fight.

Obviously the strength of the army is similar...Xie Xuan actually defended?

Su Yanzhao was frowning and thinking, but Chen Quan coughed and reminded softly, "Su Xiang."

"What advice does the supervisor have?" Su Yanzhao raised his head and looked at Chen Quan who was sitting on his right hand side.

The attention of the entire tent was shifted to him in an instant, Chen Quan turned his head unnaturally, and continued under pressure; "The army has been going out for several days, and the amount of food and grass consumed in a day is not small. A quick decision is the best policy."

"We can't support it, and King Cheng can't support it even more. Confronting each other must be the first thing King Cheng can't hold back."

Hearing that Chen Quan wanted to urge the fight, Su Yanlian retorted subconsciously.

"But regardless of whether King Cheng can't support it, the treasury is already beyond its means. Qingzhou Jiaozhou's taxes will definitely not be collected this year. If this battle takes longer, how can Duke Ding know what the situation will be like next year?"

Seeing that Su Yanzhao was listening, Chen Quan became more courageous and refuted seriously.

"you……"

"Stop talking." Su Yanlian wanted to speak, but saw his elder brother rubbing the center of his eyebrows tiredly, and stopped for a moment.

Su Yanzhao put his hands down, but he couldn't hide the tiredness in his eyes. He glanced at the map hanging in the tent again, and said, "Wait until tomorrow, if King Cheng is still defending the city, bypass Shunyang City." , let’s fight Yecheng, Jiaozhou first.”

Ye City is the residence of Prince Xie Xuan, including all his relatives and friends. Now it is empty of troops, which is much easier to take than Shunyang City.

Besides, once Yecheng is captured, Xie Xuan can no longer sit so securely.

Seeing that everyone in the account had no objections, Su Yanzhao wanted to speak again, but the drowsiness in his mind was overwhelming. If it wasn't for his strong self-control, he almost wanted to lie down on the desk and close his eyes on the spot.

He pinched the palms of his hands fiercely and maintained a steady tone: "The specifics of how to march will be discussed tomorrow. It's already late today, everyone should return their accounts first."

It wasn't until the last person walked out of the tent that Su Yanzhao suddenly leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and calmed down his turbulent mood.

For several days in a row, he could feel sleepy before midnight. He thought it was a warning from the tired body of the army, so he took a rest early.

But today is only half an hour late, how could...

The maps of Qingzhou and Jiaozhou, which I have been familiar with for a long time, still emerge in my mind, but the gate of Jinling flashes past my eyes in a daze.

The reason why Xie Xuan couldn't stick to it... Su Yanzhao was thinking in a daze.

No way?
