Chapter 491: Cause
Shen Xingnan comforted his wife distressedly, although just now, his wife said lightly what she had experienced these days, but he was not stupid, what he heard from Ah Bao's mouth did not prevent him from guessing what happened, and naturally he also knew that his Ah Bao had lived a difficult life in these days.

After all, it's all because of himself, and he owes her again!
"But I'm still feeling guilty and guilty, what should I do?"
"Since it has happened, then don't dwell on the past, but think about how to make up for it. Maybe we can find a way to take care of their families and let them live a stable life for the rest of their lives, which is also a way to make up for it. You know, the imperial court gave very little to the pensions given to the fallen soldiers. ”
"You mean, we're going to give them more money so that their families can be rich?"
"Well, good, Ah Bao, it's not your fault, if you really feel guilty, give them a lot of money, don't need silver for food and clothing, give their families silver, so that their families can live in peace, so that they can comfort their souls in the sky."
"Good. But, Anan, what if I spend almost all of our money?"
Shen Xingnan laughed when he heard this, and when he saw his wife's pitiful appearance, he hurriedly comforted him: "It's okay, I know, all your silver has been used to buy food and medicine, and it is all for the soldiers and the people, you can rest assured that you will not suffer a loss, and you will make up for your husband when the time comes!"
"Forget it, you don't have to make up for it, anyway, the gold is also free, and now it's spent on the right place, I don't want it, as for food or something, I have space, at most you will work harder in the future, help me plant more, don't pay back the silver and grain, when your wife supports your work!"
"Hehehehe, okay, so the husband will be the soldiers and the people, thank you, Mrs."
Shen Xingnan thanked him on his lips, but he was laughing at his wife in his heart, his Ah Bao, who usually looks a little money fan, but at a critical time, he is more generous than anyone else, worthy of his Ah Bao, so straightforward and cute!
"By the way, Anan, you haven't told me yet, where have you been all this time? Why did you leave that Xin Wuhao who was very similar to you in Zhangye City?"
Li Yunbao asked Shen Xingnan again and again, where he was during this time, these are the things she wants to know most at the moment.
"Xin Wuhao, this person was specially arranged by me, and I accidentally found that his body shape was almost exactly the same as mine, so I transferred him to my side as a secret guard. Do you remember that before the crown prince rebelled, he sent me to the northwest, and the reason why I was able to secretly return to Beijing at that time was that Xin Wuhao replaced me and avoided the eyes and ears of the prison army. Later, in Zhangye City, because I had something to do, I naturally let him replace me. ”
"Oh, I see! Then tell me, you are not in Zhangye City, so where did you go with these horses? And Shirakawa was attacked this time, and the enemy suddenly retreated, does this have anything to do with you?"
The reason why Li Yunbao asked this was something that she had been pondering in her heart in the past three days after Beidi withdrew the army, and she inexplicably felt that Beidi's hasty withdrawal from the army must have been caused by what her husband had done.
Shen Xingnan held his wife in both hands, lifted her who had slid down a little, and lifted her up to make her sit more comfortably, and then he told the story.
"On the day Bai Chuan was attacked, the scouts I sent out had already found out, in fact, Beidi invaded my Great Sage this time, and sent troops not 150,000 but 250,000. And our army to the west is only 100,000 in total, and the real ones who can go to the battlefield will only be about 60,000. If this battle drags on, we will have no chance of winning, so I will have to find another way......"
Shen Xingnan did not shy away from Li Yunbao, in his heart, he had no secrets to his wife, as long as she wanted to know, he would tell her unreservedly, no matter what it was! He was in front of his wife and didn't need privacy.
Listening to her husband's bland narration, Li Yunbao could hear that the hardships were not easy and thrilling.
It turned out that Shen Xingnan ordered that day, Zhangyecheng's 50,000 troops to the west to support Baichuan, and ordered to abandon Jinwu and Wushun City, and transferred all the troops on the bright side to Baichuan.
And behind the scenes, he used the remnants of the northwest army he received after recapturing the three cities as a cover, and he took 20,000 elites of the Shen family army to secretly go east, sneaked into the territory of Beidi, and entered the depths of the prairie to find the king's tent of Beidi.
Shen Xingnan, who has the memory of the previous life, fought with Beidi in the previous life, and in the previous life, he accidentally entered the grassland by chance and crashed into the location of the Beidi king's tent, so he wrote down the location of the Beidi royal court.
This time to conquer the west, after learning that there was a huge disparity between the forces of the enemy and us, Shen Xingnan planned and took people to secretly enter the enemy's lair, preparing to give Beidi Tartar a salary!
sneaked all the way to the Beidi royal court, Shen Xingnan took down the king of Beidi in one go, and at the same time, when he controlled the Beidi royal court, he sent people to make a divisive plan to sow discord between the various tribes of Beidi.
This Beidi is a nomadic people, is occupied by many tribal leaders respectively occupy their own territory, if it were not for a few decades ago, Beidi suddenly killed a powerful king, unified the entire Beidi grassland, Beidi is still in constant disputes and separated, and this powerful king, is now the grandfather of the king of Beidi.
The problem now is that the current King of Beidi is a bare-chested and ambitious but incapable straw bag, and the leaders of the various distributions have long looked at him unpleasantly, so as soon as Shen Xingnan made a move, these clan leaders began to fight in the nest.
In the end, Shen Xingnan asked Er's cronies and slaves to go to the Great Sage to report that the Great Sage's army had taken the king of Beidi, and asked Er's to withdraw his troops. Handa, after getting the news brought by the house slaves, he did not hesitate to order the troops to retreat, and hurriedly rushed back to the grassland with men and horses.
Of course, first, he was worried about his king, and secondly, it was really because Shen Xingnan was insidious enough, and the spies sent out at the beginning were to find out the situation of Beidi clearly, knowing that Po Er was only the handsome man of Beidi, how could Shen Xingnan not catch his wife and children?
That's why this guy is only trying to rush back!
It's just that he hurried back to Er's catty, but he didn't know that on the way to report the news from his slaves, Shen Xingnan had already calculated the time, and in the right time, Shen Xingnan killed the Beidi royal family, leaving only Er's nephew, that is, the life of the fifth prince of Beidi.
After killing people, and then releasing the news, it triggered the internal fighting of the various tribes of Beidi, and when they all wanted to take the opportunity to be the king, Shen Xingnan withdrew the great sage with an army of 20,000 and unharmed.
It turned out that this was the fundamental reason for the sudden withdrawal of the Beidi army of Shirakawa City!
Li Yunbao was dumbfounded when she heard this, she really admired the man in front of her, it was really unusual!
