"The problem now is that many old ministers in the court think that we should suffer a little loss. Li Xuan said: "Lao Chen feels that the advantage is still on the side of the temple, after all, the Qi State, the Chu State, the Zhao State, the Wei State, and the army of the Four Kingdoms are still in our country, and the Tang Dynasty has not many troops to use, if it does not suffer a loss, it may annoy the Temple and throw away all the advantages that have been won hard." ”

Zhou Fei said: "The peace proposal was proposed by the temple, right?"

Li Xuan nodded.

"Then the question is obvious, why should the temple negotiate peace, Your Majesty and the courtiers have thought about this issue. Zhou Fei asked.

Li Xuan looked at Jiang Ziyi.

Jiang Ziyi pondered for a moment and replied, "The Lord is dead. ”

Zhou Fei smiled, "Is it so simple that the Lord is dead?"

Jiang Ziyi frowned: "Ziwei Venerable is also abolished." ”

Zhou Fei said: "Wei Zhu was deposed by the junior uncle, the Guan master was killed by me, the senior brother defeated Liu Jianbai, and the second senior brother destroyed Wu You, Hua Hua and Chu Weirui in the canyon. The fourth senior sister forced Qiao Huaixi to retreat with runes, and the third senior brother stopped Heng Yunzhe with a chess way. The Qin side suffered heavy losses, and was the second country after Yan to withdraw from the campaign. As for the Yan Kingdom, there is no need to consider it at all, it is almost equivalent to destroying the country. ”

"The masters of the Dao Sect are almost all wiped out, and all they can rely on is the army of more than ten or two hundred thousand. But the supply line is so long that the coalition forces simply can't hold out for long. Since the advantages are all on our side, there is nothing to worry about, although the conditions are mentioned. ”

Jiang Ziyi looked at Zhou Fei and said seriously: "But on the side of the academy, the losses are also very heavy. ”

Zhou Fei nodded: "I don't deny this, but compared to the loss of the Daomen, this loss of the academy is nothing. Right now, whether it's the Taoist sect or the academy, they need to rest. The strength of a cultivator cannot be relied on by either side, and what is competing is the thickness of the national strength. In the battle in our country, are we still afraid of comparing the national strength with the other side?"

Li Xuan nodded, "What the general said is extremely true, and I also think so. With the words of the great general, I can also go and communicate with the courtiers with confidence, they will understand, and they must understand. ”

Zhou Fei suddenly sighed.

Li Xuan asked, "Why did the general sigh?"

Zhou Fei said: "The war is far from over, and the real result is not on earth, but in heaven. ”

Li Xuan and Jiang Ziyi immediately understood.

The battle between Master and Heavenly Dao is not over yet.

The battle between the human world and the Heavenly Dao continues.

Once the Heavenly Dao wins, it is highly likely that the Dao Sect will make a comeback.

Therefore, it is necessary to take complete protection before the winner of this crucial battle is decided.

Li Xuan stood up and said, "I will immediately order that the peace process must be quickly cut through the chaos and solve all this in a short time." ”

Zhou Fei said: "That's very good. ”

"That's it. Li Xuan said, "Next, I have to talk about the second thing. ”

Zhou Fei and Jiang Ziyi both made a gesture of listening.

Li Xuan took out another note, "Yesterday, the chapter submitted by the Ministry of War, there is a legion that occupies Quyang City, and the commander of the legion is called Situ Bao, who is the son of the former Situ Shangshu. ”

Zhou Fei hummed while looking at the folds.

"The military advisor of this legion, called Wugui, is the prince of Yan Kingdom. Li Xuan said.

Zhou Fei raised his head fiercely.

Jiang Ziyi was also a little confused.

"I think it's funny, too. Li Xuan smiled: "The prince of Yan is the military division of our army of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also mentioned in the fold that occupying the big city and collecting the surrounding township regiments is also the attention of the returnless Prince Yan." General, General Ziyi, what do you think should be done with this matter?"

Zhou Fei rubbed his nose and didn't speak.

Jiang Ziyi thought for a moment and said, "This Prince Yan shouldn't want to incite Situ Leopard to rebel." How many of those legions are there now?"

"There are about 50,000 people. Li Xuan said.

Jiang Ziyi was shocked: "So many?"

"More than 30,000 of them are remnants of the battlefield, and I heard that there is a small number of Xuanjia troops inside, and the number is about 100 people. Li Xuan said.

Jiang Ziyi said: "This Situ Leopard's appeal is very strong. ”

"He was just in the right place at the right time. Appeal or something, I can't talk about it. Zhou Fei finally spoke: "Your Majesty, did Situ Bao give you an excerpt?"

Li Xuan said: "Yes." ”

After saying that, he took out another fold.

Zhou Fei finally understood why the cuffs of the dragon robe had to be so big, and the feeling was that it was a Doraemon pocket, which could hold anything.

Situ Bao said in the excerpt that the number of legions is more than one day by day, and he is already a little weak to manage. And because the absorption time is too short, the legion is mixed with dragons and snakes, and there is an urgent need for experienced generals to help manage it. ”

"I'm here to ask for help. Zhou Fei said.

"It seems that this Situ Leopard is very sober. Jiang Ziyi said.

Li Xuan said: "For the current Tang Dynasty, an army of 50,000 people is a very scarce resource, and it really needs to be managed well, otherwise it will not only waste this force, but may even cause a mutiny." ”

Jiang Ziyi knelt directly on one knee: "The minister is willing to go to Quyang City to share His Majesty's worries." ”

Li Xuan helped him up: "General Ziyi, I also have this intention." Situ Bao is too young, and there is a Prince Yan by his side as a military advisor, to be honest, I really don't feel at ease. What's more, the geographical location of Quyang City is very important, and if you hold this pass, you can lock the Wei army in our country. At that time, in addition to surrendering, Fang Tangjing had to evacuate completely, otherwise the tens of thousands of people under his command would all die outside Quyang City. ”

Jiang Ziyi said: "The minister immediately set off to Quyang City, he will definitely lead this army well, and he will definitely make Fang Tangjing pay a painful price." ”

Zhou Fei suddenly said: "General Ziyi, if you can, put some water in it." ”

"What do you mean by releasing water? Are you telling me to dig up the river and drown them? Jiang Ziyi asked.

Zhou Fei coughed twice and said, "I mean, don't rush to kill everything." ”

Jiang Ziyi's expression instantly became serious: "Mr. Six's words, please forgive Ziyi for not being able to understand them, and please ask Mr. Six to say them in detail." ”

Zhou Fei said: "Fang Tangjing's team has been trapped in the north for many days, first suffered heavy casualties from the surprise attack of the Xinggong Pavilion, and then has been frantically harassed by the folk township groups, delaying their time to come to Chang'an. Immediately after that, because of the supply problem, the morale of the army is about to fall to the bottom, but the so-called mourning soldiers will win, if they really force an almost desperate army to the end of the road, they are likely to burst out of extremely terrible combat effectiveness. ”

"On the contrary, if they are given a glimmer of life, then the madness factor hidden in the hearts of the Wei army will be suppressed indefinitely, and they will only think about leaving as soon as possible and returning to their homeland. With this method, not only can we minimize the losses of our army, but also sell Wei a thin face, once Wei fully withdraws from the battlefield, then we can transfer the troops in the north back to Chang'an and concentrate on dealing with the Chu-Zhao coalition army. And don't forget, the Qi army is still in the south, and every force in our hands needs to be put to good use. ”

Jiang Ziyi was silent.

He was trained by Meng Zhulu, and his personality is also very similar to Meng Zhulu, that is, his temperament is as fierce as fire, which makes him and the enemy weak, which is really a little difficult.

But Jiang Ziyi is not a person who does not know how to be flexible, after listening to Zhou Fei's explanation, Jiang Ziyi also understood that it was in the best interests of Datang for Wei Jun to leave, so after some struggle, he accepted Zhou Fei's suggestion.

"Ziyi understands, thank you Mr. Six for mentioning it. Jiang Ziyi said with his fists clenched.

Zhou Fei said: "Brother Ziyi is polite. ”

"General Ziyi, you can go down and prepare first. I have already asked the military department to prepare the relevant documents for you, there are too many things in the court, I can't go to the city gate to see you off, just prepare a glass of thin wine here and practice it for you. ”

After speaking, Li Xuan clapped his hands.

The door opened, and the little eunuch walked in with a tray of wine, on which were three amber glasses full of wine.

The three of them raised their glasses and drank bitterly, Jiang Ziyi knelt down on one knee and saluted Li Xuan, and then strode away.

Li Xuan left Zhou Fei alone, because there was still a tricky matter for Zhou Fei to deal with.

"Mr. Six, please be seated. ”

When there were only two of them, Li Xuan no longer called General Zhou Fei, but replaced it with the more intimate Mr. Six.

Zhou Fei snorted: "Your Majesty still has something to explain?"

"When peace is negotiated with the temple, will the academy come forward?"

Zhou Fei shook his head: "The academy does not interfere in politics, this is the rule set by the teacher." Although this rule has almost been broken, it is still difficult for the academy to come forward with this kind of thing. ”

Li Xuan nodded: "Understood." Then I have an idea about this matter, and the other thing is about the noble concubine. ”

Zhou Fei said, "What's the matter? ”

Li Xuan sighed: "After all, she is the concubine of her father. ”

"There were at least nearly 100,000 soldiers in Datang, who died under the stupid command of her and her son. Zhou Fei said.

Li Xuan's expression was also very entangled.

Because of the special status of the noble concubine, no matter how you deal with it, it is easy to leave hidden dangers.

What's more, she is still inextricably linked with the six surnames of Guanzhong, even after the outbreak of the war, the noble concubine has drawn a clear line with the six surnames of Guanzhong. But now that the war is coming to an end, how to deal with the noble concubine has become a very tricky matter.

After all, Li Xuan's mother concubine is from the Star Palace Pavilion.

That is, a branch of the Demon Sect.

The noble concubine is orthodox.

During the war, the courtiers were unanimous with the outside world, and this hidden danger was temporarily suppressed.

Now that the war is coming to an end, the orthodox rhetoric is a bit of a resurgence.

If this matter is not handled well, the court will inevitably be in chaos, and the good situation that the academy has fought hard for will also be burned.

Li Xuan really couldn't find anyone to discuss, so he could only throw this problem to Zhou Fei, who he trusted the most.

I hope that the general will solve this problem that makes him think about it.
