After the subjugation of the country, she became the favorite concubine of the enemy

Taishou Yin of Haocheng had just finished discussing military affairs with several generals defending the city, and before he could catch his breath, the servants outside came in to report again.

"Prefect Yin, there is a nobleman asking to see you."

"who?"

The boy hesitated and said, "The eunuch will find out when he meets him."

Prefect Yin's curiosity was also aroused, what kind of noble person would come to see him at this time?

I heard that the prefects of several cities who had already rebelled against Zhao Kingdom surrendered without a fight because they saw His Highness the Crown Prince. Could it be His Highness the Crown Prince?

Yin Taishou came to the reception hall with a trace of expectation, only to see a woman with her back turned to him.

"Excuse me, is your Excellency..."

Ling Qiyuan turned around, "Uncle Yin, it's me."

Yin Taishou was taken aback, "Princess? Why are you here?"

Ling Qiyuan looked into his eyes and said seriously, "I'm here to know what Uncle Yin's plans are going to be. My father died in the battle with Zhaoguo. My father and Uncle Yin had always been friends before he was alive. Qi Yuan Just thinking, maybe Uncle Yin will make a different decision from the other prefects."

"Princess, you have married into the royal family of the Duan Kingdom. You will think about your husband's family. The old minister also understands that you are a woman, so you naturally put the family first. Speaking of which, the old minister has watched the princess grow up, and I also hope that you Happiness. It’s just that your brother is different from you. He has been placed with high hopes by everyone since he was a child, but later he did something that betrayed the country and sought glory. If your father knew about it, he would definitely not let him go.”

"So, when Zhao Guo's soldiers approach the city, will Uncle Yin rebel too?" Ling Qiyuan asked.

"The world of Ye country is the world of Zhao family. If His Royal Highness orders the veteran to hand over the military talisman, then the veteran will naturally obey." Looking at Ling Qiyuan, Yin Taishou couldn't bear it after all, and said, "Princess, since you are still willing to call me "Uncle, if Duan Kingdom really dies, I will use my status as an uncle to assure you that I will go and plead with His Highness the Crown Prince to spare your husband-in-law and children, so that your family can live a good life, and I will never break my promise."

Ling Qiyuan bowed to Yin Taishou, "Uncle Yin, Qi Yuan is not a woman who only pretends to be her husband and children in her heart, and she is not here today for my husband and children."

"Then why is the princess?"

"For the sake of the people, soldiers who would die in vain in order to start a war." Ling Qiyuan raised her head and looked straight at Yin Taishou and said, "Uncle Yin, if Zhao Kingdom and Duan Kingdom go to war, how many people will be displaced and how many soldiers will be killed? How about now? Yi people's lives gradually began to improve. Once the war started, it would be time to return to wartime. Duan country is not the Ye country it was in the past. It is not so easy for Zhao country to destroy Duan country. It was more tragic than any previous war, and it was the people who suffered in the end."

Yin Taishou was silent.

It's not that he didn't think of what Ling Qiyuan said, it's just that the situation in front of him is obviously that this battle is inevitable, all he can do is to choose the camp.

Yin Taishou looked at Ling Qiyuan again. He had never heard General Ling say that his daughter had any military and political talents. Now that she came to talk about it, is there any way to do it?

Asked, "Does the princess have any good strategies to avoid a full-scale war?"

A clear male voice came from outside the door.

"She has hated reading military books since she was a child, what good strategy can she have?" Ling Xiche walked into the room slowly, "The good strategy is here."

Ling Qiyuan gave him a quiet look.

Yin Taishou became angry when he saw Ling Xiche, pointed at him and glared, "Ling Xiche!"

Prefect Yin was about to yell at him, but another person walked in and asked him to take back his words.

Shen Chen walked up to Ling Xiche and held his hand. Ling Xiche took a look at Prefect Yin whose face was turning green, and took his hand away.

Ling Xiche saluted, "Uncle Yin, I know that there have been a lot of gossip about me recently, but, Uncle Yin, can you give me a chance to tell me the real cause and effect? ​​After I finish speaking, If you still want to scold me, just scold me, Xi Che listen."

Prefect Yin didn't believe those rumors at first. He could see how much Ling Xiche had worked so hard for Ye Kingdom back then, and he couldn't pretend those hard work.It's just that the rumors were too persuasive, and he was indeed alive and living in the harem of the Duan Kingdom, so he believed those rumors.

Yin Taishou glanced at Shen Chen, then at Ling Xiche, "Okay, you'd better explain clearly."

Inside the house, Ling Xiche had a long conversation with the prefect Yin, and outside, the army of the Zhao Kingdom had arrived at Haocheng unknowingly.

"Prefect! Not good!"

Yin Taishou opened the door and reprimanded the reckless boy, "Didn't I say that no one should disturb you? What do you look like in a panic? Could it be that Zhaoguo came to the door?"

"Right, right! Prefect, Zhao Kingdom's army is already at the gate of the city!"

Outside the gate of Haocheng, Yu Chirui and Zhao Jihe were still waiting at the gate with tens of thousands of troops.

Finally, someone walked up to the city wall surrounded by several generals, and after seeing it clearly, he found that it was not only the prefect of Haocheng, but also Shen Chen and Ling Xiche.

Ling Xiche on the city wall looked at Zhao Jihe who was riding on horseback with Yu Chirui below, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

"Xi Che?" Shen Chen called him in a low voice.

Ling Xiche came back to his senses, and arched his hands at Yu Chirui, "His Majesty Zhao, it's a pleasure to meet you. In this battle, do you want to take Haocheng? But if you want to take a city with just a few words, I'm afraid It has passed."

Yu Chirui remained calm on the surface, but looking at Ling Xiche who was calm and composed on the city wall, his palms were a little sweaty.

Zhao Jihe saw that Yu Chirui was pretending to be calm, and helped Yu Chirui shout out, "Ling Xiche, do you still remember that I am your young master? Ye Country is my Zhao Clan's Ye Country, and now you are helping Shen Chen and I am against you, do you still have the word loyalty in your heart?"

Shen Chen couldn't stand seeing Zhao Jihe say this about Ling Xiche, and pointed at him and said, "Shut up! If it wasn't for Xiche, would I have spared your life? You are better off, you will repay your kindness, and it is he or the one who doesn't understand loyalty." you?"

Zhao Jihe was calm at first, but when Shen Chen said this, he felt aggrieved, "I'm sorry for him? Why don't I want to live in peace? It's obvious that you guys have vicious thoughts. To my death, do you really think I'm too stupid to guess that you did it?"

Hearing this, Ling Xiche looked at Shen Chen, and asked softly, "Canaan incense? What did you do again?"

Shen Chen said with a guilty conscience, "I did it before, I will explain it to you later."

Ling Xiche didn't want to ask questions at this time, and said to the following, "Your Majesty Zhao, this city gate will not be opened for you today. If you want to attack the city, then give it a try."

"Xi Che." Shen Chen quietly tugged on his sleeve.

Yu Chirui brought an army of tens of thousands, and all the defenders in Hao City add up to only [-]. He originally wanted to bring an army of tens of thousands, but Ling Xiche had other arrangements, so he came to Hao City to negotiate this time. , really did not bring a few people.

Ling Xiche looked at him, his eyes were full of determination, which made Shen Chen feel relieved.

Cheng Xia Yu Chi Rui chuckled, "Ling Shangqing, are you planning an empty city?"

Ling Xiche smiled slightly and said, "Or is it really? His Majesty Zhao, would you like to try it? If it is really an empty city plan, Emperor Duanguo and I are here now. If you can capture the city and capture me With him, the world is almost yours."

Yu Chirui didn't dare to act rashly, so he turned his head to look at Zhao Jihe.

"Miao Miao, what do you think?"

Zhao Jihe didn't dare to judge casually, so he said, "If he really had a plan to attack the city, you are here now. If you are captured, then they can turn defeat into victory. Yu Chirui, to be honest, I don't know." Dare to judge whether he is an empty city plan or not, but should we be on the safe side? Don’t take this risk. After all, we still have the upper hand now, even if we miss this opportunity, it’s okay, there will be opportunities later.”

Yu Chirui thought about it again, and looked up at Ling Xiche, who seemed to have a slight smile on his lips, as if everything had been within his expectation.

"withdraw troops."
