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

Ling Xiche successfully persuaded the prefects of the three cities to stand on Duanguo's side, and Shen Chen also removed the prefects of the other nine cities and replaced them with his own trustworthy people.

In Zhao Kingdom's tent, Yu Chirui was looking at the terrain map and thinking about the strategy to control the enemy.

Zhao Jihe sat beside him and accompanied him.

"Yu Chirui, what do you want to do next?"

Yu Chirui looked at the map and said, "In addition to Haocheng that day, there are two other cities where the original prefects are in charge, and the other nine cities Duanguo have re-assigned people to take charge of the military power. Then, next, I am afraid that we must really deal with it." The war is on."

Zhao Jihe leaned over to look at the map, "The prefects of those three cities are all friends of General Ling. I know a little about that. The General Ling I'm talking about is Ling Xiche's father."

Yu Chirui continued, "So, the reason why Duan Guo didn't accept their military power is because Ling Xiche has persuaded them to side with Duan Guo?"

Zhao Jihe held his chin, "Eighty percent yes."

After thinking for a while, Yu Chirui said, "Then it seems that we will attack the city next, and we must avoid these three cities first. Because if we go directly to attack them, it will destroy your image in the eyes of the people of Ye Kingdom, His Royal Highness Prince Renyi. It is beneficial to our governance after the annexation."

"Us?" Zhao Jihe smiled, "Are you really planning to divide me in half? Then what if one day my ambitions swell and I want to betray you and restore the country and become the emperor? What will you do?"

Yu Chirui smiled, "This is the first time I want to trust someone wholeheartedly. If it turns out that I am wrong in the end, then I will naturally have to taste the bitter fruit myself. If you really betray me one day, then... .”

Before Yu Chirui finished speaking, his body trembled slightly, and he pressed his stomach with one hand and let out a soft snort.

"Are you okay?" Zhao Jihe hurriedly put his arms around him, "Did you have a stomach problem? Didn't you get mad at me? I'm just kidding, how could I betray you? I never will in my life."

Yu Chirui shook his head, "I'm fine, can you pour me a cup of hot tea?"

Zhao Jihe poured him a glass of water and rubbed his stomach when he freed his hands to drink, "Do you want to send the military doctor to take a look?"

Yu Chirui put down his cup, "It's really all right. Tomorrow, the camp will be pulled out to prepare for the official attack on the city. Don't disturb the morale of the army at this time."

From the day he left Zhaoguo, Zhao Jihe had been worried that his health would go wrong. Although everyone had taken care of his diet along the way, it was still not as good as living in the palace.

"Then shall I help you to rest for a while?"

Yu Chirui nodded, and Zhao Jihe helped him to lie down on the bed and rest.

"Break camp tomorrow, don't you follow?"

"How can I do that? Isn't the purpose of the imperial conquest to boost morale? Besides, the opponent is still Ling Xiche..."

Zhao Jihe helped him cover the quilt, "Then you have to do what you can, if you are really uncomfortable, go with it, I don't think you can boost morale."

"I'm much better now, I'll be fine tomorrow."

Zhao Jihe sighed and said, "You should rest first, I will stay here with you, let's talk about it tomorrow."

The next day, Zhao State's 5 troops attacked Yancheng. Although the generals defending Yancheng fought hard, there were only [-] troops in the city, and their strength was huge.

After Shen Chen received the battle report, he immediately approached Ling Xiche for advice. Ling Xiche looked at the map and thought about it for a while before deciding to abandon Yancheng and let all the troops of Duanguo in the city withdraw to the adjacent Jicheng.Yancheng is already on the verge of defeat. In this way, although Yancheng has been abandoned, there will be nearly 10 people who have withdrawn from Yancheng and those in Jicheng. The situation is serious, so the possibility of a strong attack is very small. In this way, although Yancheng was abandoned, Jicheng was preserved.

Yancheng is to the north, and now that they know their breakthrough point, they know where to guard against it.

Ling Xiche glanced sideways at Shen Chen who was waiting for him to speak, and smiled slightly, "Don't panic, I will try my best to let you save the other cities."

"However, now they have acquired eight cities. Looking at the land, Zhao Kingdom has already divided the world equally with our Duan Kingdom."

"That's right, if they continue to win, Duan Guo will be clearly at a disadvantage." Ling Xiche said lightly.

"Then what can you do?"

Ling Xiche looked at Shen Chen, "According to the battle report, Yu Chirui didn't show up on the day of the siege, is that true?"

Shen Chen nodded, "Yes, what does that represent?"

"What do you think he is personally enlisting for?"

Shen Chen said without hesitation, "The emperor's personal conquest is either to establish meritorious deeds to establish his prestige, or to boost morale. His words are not lacking in prestige, so it must be to boost morale."

"Yes. On the day of the siege, Zhao Kingdom was almost in a position to win. If he showed up again, the speed of the siege would only be faster, so why didn't he show up?"

When he asked this, Shen Chen didn't quite understand, "Then why do you say?"

Ling Xiche smiled, "Didn't you say before that he has a hidden disease? Maybe it's a hidden disease, and the body doesn't allow it."

"You want to take advantage of his illness?" Shen Chen asked.

Ling Xiche said lightly, "Perhaps this is their biggest weakness in this battle."

However long, night has fallen.

There are two particularly well-protected places in Zhaoguo's camp, one is Yu Chirui's imperial tent, and the other is the tent where grain and grass are stored. Other than that, other places are relatively relaxed.

Two men in black sneaked into the vicinity of the camp to observe at dusk.

There is a person living in a tent that looks special. He does not look like a warrior, nor does he wear the uniform uniform of other soldiers, nor does he have a weapon next to him. Looking inside his tent, he can vaguely see a medicine box .

The guards here were not so strict, and two shadow guards saw the right moment and quietly approached his camp.

In the imperial tent, Yu Chirui was still looking at the topographic map nearby, while Zhao Jihe sat beside him and looked at him with some concern.

"Are you hungry? You didn't eat a few bites last night. Would you like me to ask them to make some hot soup for you?"

Yu Chirui continued to study the topographic map, "It doesn't need to be so troublesome, I don't have an appetite right now."

Zhao Jihe lay down in front of him, "I'm really afraid that your body will collapse when you're like this."

"I am fine."

Zhao Jihe came behind him and hugged him, "Then don't look, rest early, okay?"

Yu Chirui put down the map in his hand, and just about to go to bed, there was a loud shout from outside, just as he was about to go out to have a look, someone outside the door asked, "Your Majesty, are you asleep?"

Just as Yu Chirui wanted to relax, he became depressed, "Come in. Is something wrong?"

General Bai outside the door came in and said, "Your Majesty, two Duan Kingdom assassins sneaked into the camp just now, one was killed and the other escaped."

Yu Chirui pressed the center of his eyebrows, "Well, continue."

General Bai continued, "Your Majesty, they assassinated the imperial physician and burned the medicinal materials in the camp."

Before Yu Chirui had much reaction, Zhao Jihe exclaimed, "What! What can I do!"

General Bai also wondered, "Although there are military doctors in the army, the military doctors are not familiar with His Majesty's physical condition, and I am afraid they may not have the medicines that His Majesty usually uses. This is indeed a problem."

Yu Chirui himself didn't panic, "Did the assassins sneak into the camp and didn't find it? General Bai, how did you arrange the patrol tonight?"

General Bai knelt down on one knee, "The last general is guilty, please forgive me."

Yu Chirui waved his hand, "Forget it, go down, next time this kind of thing happens again, I will never forgive you lightly."

General Bai stood up, did not go out immediately, and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to call two more imperial physicians from the palace?"

Before Yu Chirui could answer, Zhao Jihe said first, "That's a good idea, let's go!"

Yu Chirui said unhappily, "Where are you going? I'm not a medicine jar that can't live without the imperial physician. Now that the war just started, the imperial physician was urgently dispatched from the palace. What would the soldiers think of me? I'm fine now, It’s okay without a doctor.”

Zhao Jihe didn't care that General Bai was still there, and took Yu Chirui's hand, "Duanguo sent someone to assassinate the imperial physician, they must have known that your body couldn't stand the harsh environment of the battlefield, without the imperial physician, you must support me if this war continues." Can't help it. Yu Chirui, you just have a bad spleen and stomach, and your body is a little weak, there is nothing to be ashamed of, so what if you go to the palace and invite some imperial doctors to come and wait?"

Yu Chirui held his hand back, "Miaomiao, we have just won several cities, and the army's morale is in full swing, so we can't pour cold water on it now. Moreover, on the way from the palace to the battlefield, we will pass through the cities that are still under the jurisdiction of the Duan Kingdom. What do you think?" Can they let the imperial doctor come over?"

Zhao Jihe couldn't hear the first half of Yu Chirui's sentence, but only heard the second half, and said, "Then send more people to escort the imperial physician here."

"Miao Miao!" Yu Chirui held Zhao Jihe's shoulders, "To be honest, I'm absolutely sure what Ling Xiche's real purpose is now. If he acts rashly, what if he falls into the trap?"

"But, in the world, how can your body be more important?"

Yu Chirui smiled at him, "I will pay attention, don't worry too much."
