Considering that the Shu family did not go back on their word to chase and kill themselves, Hua Duxiu judged that Shu Daqiang should really want to end this war, and it is very likely that he will not attack the base camp of the expeditionary force on a large scale at this time node, and he is not in a hurry to return.

While eating, drinking, touring the mountains and rivers with Qiqi and walking back, he pondered how to persuade the four princes and others.

The cattle batch was blown out, in case the bigwigs of the expeditionary force did not agree to withdraw the troops, wouldn't he be sorry for Senior Shu?

Not only is he sorry for Senior Shu, but he is also sorry for himself.

He was tired of this war for a long time.

If he continues to fight, not only will the four princes really burp, but the few people he cares about, Qi Qi, Shen Lijia, etc., are afraid that they will also be in danger.

Even if you really have to face the little iron eggs and caterpillars on the battlefield, will they fight really or fake?

So you have to come up with a convincing reason to persuade those big guys.

Grandma's, the most annoying brain.

I'm tired!

I'm a little personal guard, what the hell are you doing all day?!

Besides, the lives of the soldiers of the expeditionary force are not their lives? The lives of the warriors of the rebel army are not their lives? Those who fight and kill are the last to die, and it is the common people who suffer.

Anyway, he doesn't have a sense of imperial honor, all he cares about is the safety and happiness of his relatives and friends, and more is the stable and peaceful life of ordinary people, as for the so-called unification of the empire, he doesn't care much.

After all, the "empire" is too far away, but the safety of relatives and friends is very close.

A few days later, the two left the mountains of Dongdao and rushed back to the vicinity of the base camp.

To Hua Duxiu's surprise, the vast area outside the base camp has become a battlefield, and several units of the expeditionary force and the rebels are fighting in different areas, and the flames of war and shouts of killing are wafting around.

Ding Qiqi was a little confused: "Xiaohua, didn't you say that Shu Daqiang promised you, why did they fight again?"

Hua Duxiu scratched her head and wondered, "Did I guess wrong......?" Let's go back to camp first. ”

"Am I with you?"

"Hmm...... It's better to say goodbye, wait a moment for me to get a martial arts uniform for you to change into, you better follow Jiajia for the time being. ”

"Okay!"

The news of Hua Duxiu's return spread quickly, and the four princes jumped up immediately when they heard it, and they were simply overjoyed.

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

"Chenhua Duxiu begs to see ......!"

"I still want to see a fart, come in quickly!"

Hua Duxiu smiled and broke into the big tent, and the four princes grabbed his arm and looked him up and down:

"Yo, there are not a few parts missing, it's really unbearable!"

Hua Duxiu said triumphantly: "Your Highness, you know me, this is all a basic operation, it's nothing." ”

"Praise you for being fat, and you're still panting?"

"Not as fat as you are not as fat as you are, haha!"

The fourth prince threw Hua Duxiu's arms violently, walked towards his big chair with a dark face, and Hua Duxiu followed behind with a smile, and said the pre-made statement with a mouthful of mouths.

In fact, it was nothing, it was to take Shu Demon as a hostage, forcing the Shu family to restrain the whole army, and giving the remnants of the expeditionary force three days to retreat.

As soon as three days passed, he let Shu Demon escape back.

It's not that Hua Duxiu is reluctant to make it up, and the process is more tortuous, but it's really that he was thinking about how to persuade the four princes to withdraw the army all the way, and he didn't care about those things.

Wang Beixuan and the others showed expressions of relief and admiration on the side.

is worthy of being a flower brother, capturing the enemy's main general in the army, and forcing tens of thousands of rebels to stop, and retreating after doing this, but he doesn't invite credit or pretend to criticize, he is really a rare good young man!

has the ability and is not exaggerated, which is really admirable.

After listening to Hua Duxiu, the fourth prince waved his hand to let Hua Duxiu sit down, and said with emotion: "It's really not easy, if it weren't for Hua Qing catching Shu Demon at a critical moment, the consequences would be really unimaginable." ”

Hua Duxiu asked indignantly: "Your Highness, aren't the rebels calling again?" The surname Shu is really not honest, and he promised to be good before. ”

"No, no," the fourth prince smiled and said, "It's not that the Shu clan is not honest, since you captured the Shu demon, there is indeed not a single rebel warrior attacking us in three days, and those rebels outside the camp only appeared in the past few days." ”

"Oh, I see. ”

"Don't look at the excitement of the fight outside the camp, in fact, none of the top masters on both sides came out, but some junior officers led the samurai to fight, and the movement sounded big, but it wasn't actually a big fight. ”

"So what's going on?"

The fourth prince sighed slightly, and said: "The rebels probably want to explore our reality, especially to know the situation of the imperial uncle, so they kept fighting, but they did not send top masters to lead the army to attack. ”

Hua Duxiu was silent in his heart, and at the same time thought that this should be Shu Shi putting pressure on the top of the expeditionary force, proving that the rebels still have the strength to fight the expeditionary force.

Well, it can be regarded as providing some help for his next rhetoric.

Hua Duxiu's eyes moved, and she asked quietly: "Your Highness, Lord Minghong, is he...... Can it be restored?"

The four princes looked left and right without a trace, and Wang Beixuan and the others turned their heads a little unnaturally, inconvenient to listen to more.

"Hua Qing, Uncle Huang's physical condition is our top secret at present, so I don't want to say more. ”

Hua Duxiu said secretly, what else is inconvenient to say, if King Minghong had recovered, he would have dragged Tianhe Tianzun to Ganshu Da Wall a long time ago, and he still had to hide in the base camp and dare not show his face?

It's just that this can't be said explicitly, and everyone doesn't look good on their faces.

"It's not a way to go on like this, I don't know what we plan to do in the next stage?"

The fourth prince said: "The combat strength of our army has been seriously damaged, especially the death of King Chengying and the annihilation of the main force of the hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops, which has dealt too much blow to the soldiers and soldiers, and it should be unable to take the initiative to attack in a short period of time." ”

"Then keep shrinking?"

"It's not like it's shrinking, the mainland's supplies and backup troops are also coming one after another, and the West Island is still in our hands, and it will be beneficial to us to drag it out." ”

Hua Duxiu was a little anxious.

It's good for us, that is, we won't be able to go for a while?

This, this is not in my interest to spend someone!

Hua Duxiu scratched her head and asked, "Your Highness, when I was fighting with Shu Demon, I was hit in the brain by her with a demon method, and I almost died on the spot, and I also have a deep understanding of the power of that demon method.

To put it mildly, Prince Minghong is afraid that he will not be able to recover for a while, if the Shu family is desperate, can we withstand it?

I don't think it's reliable to count on Tianhe, Your Highness should know that when the Daomen Alliance besieged Bai Yujing, how did Bai Yujing's two generations of heads and the two god kings die. ”

The fourth prince took a deep look at Hua Duxiu: "You mean, Beiguo Qiu and Beiguo Yuan?"

"Not bad. The rebels are only tempting now, but they are not attacking with all their might, and they should not have made up their minds to fight to the death with the courage to break the boat. ”

The fourth prince muttered: "But the imperial uncle has improved a lot, and it may not take long to recover."

At this time, it is still a trivial matter to retreat and lose most of the sea moon, and you have to consider the political impact after returning to the mainland. ”

"Political influence, what political influence?" Hua Duxiu is obviously a bit square.

The fourth prince glanced at Hua Duxiu and said with a smile: "You, you are a good hand at fighting, and you are also a lot of cleverness, but you still have shortcomings in the overall situation." ”

"What's the big picture?"

The fourth prince asked seriously: "If the army retreats to the mainland, and the rebels and the Iron King Temple take the opportunity to spread rumors, saying that the Shu family has won a complete victory again in this counterinsurgency battle, and annihilated most of the main force of the expeditionary force and a god king, what do you think will be the consequences?"

Hua Duxiu was a little stunned for a while, he really hadn't thought about this layer.

"Your Highness, tell me about it. ”

"To put it simply, it will trigger a chain reaction of extreme badness, far from the center of imperial rule, and people with rebellious intentions will take risks and turn crazy thoughts into action.

Moreover, with the loss of the main force of the hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops and a god king, the imperial family's ability to deter the local area will also decline accordingly, and if it is not handled well, I am afraid that the local powerful factions in all walks of life will swell in the next few years.

It is the center of the empire, the loss of a god-king checks and balances, and the top-level power structure...... That's it, let's not talk about it. ”

Hua Duxiu thought for a moment and nodded: "What His Highness said is reasonable, but I didn't think that far." ”

Therefore, even if this war is fought hard and tangled, we cannot retreat lightly unless we have to. ”

Hua Duxiu was speechless for a while, and the words he had prepared earlier were useless.

There is no way, compared with the level of consideration of the four princes, he pondered that those reasons are really a little untable.

I can't see it, His Royal Highness is still a person who does big things, and he thinks about the problem very highly?

Let's think about it again.

In addition, when thinking about problems in the future, we must also learn from the Four Highnesses to look at the pros and cons of the overall situation from a higher dimension.

Well, just sauce.

The two chatted for a while, and there were military affairs that the fourth prince needed to deal with, so Hua Duxiu retreated to the corner of the big tent and was his personal guard with peace of mind.

On the side, Wang Beixuan and the other three have been secretly looking at Hua Duxiu, Hua Duxiu was inexplicably watched, and quietly transmitted to Wang Beixuan:

"Brother Beixuan, how many times have I not seen me and how handsome I am, why are you peeping at me like this?"

"You, you are so handsome, handsome to the sky!" Wang Beixuan immediately said.

"Oh, why did you say that, dude?"

Wang Beixuan had an expression of amazement on his face, his eyes were foggy, as if he was recalling some memorable picture.

"Brother Hua, when I meet you, I know the true meaning of the phrase 'real people don't show their faces'. ”

“...... Speak human words. ”

Wang Beixuan choked for a moment, coughed lightly and said, "That day, you fought against Shu Demon, and I was closest to Brother Ouyang, and I saw it most really."

At that time, I saw that you had wings on your back, like thunder and lightning, and when fully unfolded, it was three or four feet big, and it could even drag you to fly a little, which was really amazing!"

Hua Duxiu: ?

Wang Beixuan's eyes flashed with golden light, and he continued to sigh: "That thief chief Shu Demon may have angered Brother Hua, and Brother Hua sent down the fury of thunder, and actually cut off hundreds of heads of elite warriors of the rebel army in a very short period of time under the pursuit of Shu Demon, and then used these heads to form a large array, suppressing it with purple thunder to produce a violent explosion!"

Tut-tut, in retrospect, it makes people's souls tremble!"

Hua Duxiu: ??

"Brother, I have been walking for many years, and I have never seen any ruthless traitors and powerful and domineering tricks?

But a character like Brother Hua, I really have never heard of or seen it, but Brother Hua is usually so approachable, it's really rare.

Let's do things next to the Fourth Highness, although I am a few years older, I still hope that Brother Hua will give you some guidance on the road of martial arts in the future. ”

Hua Duxiu was completely stunned.

But he can guess that Fluttershy must have done something amazing that day when she released it.

"Ahem, my brother is polite. You are a ninth-level master, junior brother, I am only a seventh-level combat power, can I guide you Mao?"

Wang Beixuan said with a straight face: "Brother Hua, don't say that! Even the Shu demon is planted in your hands, and this ability to be a brother is simply not enough." ”

Hua Duxiu's face darkened: "...... Okay, do whatever you say.

By the way, I was a little anxious that day, and I can't remember many details clearly, can my brother describe in detail what happened that day?

I want to see where there are still gaps and areas where improvements can be made. ”

Wang Beixuan had an intoxicated expression again: "One more memory is one more enjoyment...... Brother Hua, listen to my brother!"
