After the ceremony, it was late autumn, and the palace was busy with the New Year's affairs.

This is this year, but he is disturbed by the fact that Qi State continues to invade the border areas.

"It's just hateful, damnable!"

Xiao Jin was so angry that he overturned a table of musicals.

The cicada hurriedly stepped forward and handed him a glass of water.

"Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin, don't be angry, you can tell me if there is anything, I can help you."

"The 100,000 soldiers of my Yan country are guarding the frontier, can't they still withstand the less than 30,000 people in his Qi country?! It's nonsense to say that the border is cold! Isn't the environmental conditions the same when the two armies are fighting? ”

Han Cicada picked up all the pieces on the ground, stacked them neatly and put them on Xiao Jin's table, "Actually, in my opinion, this has nothing to do with the number of soldiers, but with the combat style of the main general." ”

Xiao Jin raised his eyes to look at her, "What do you say?" ”

"This time the leader of the army is General Han, General Han is a fierce general under the emperor, he has made great achievements for Yan Guoguo, he does have rich combat experience, but his tactics are really no longer novel, Qi is afraid that he knows it well, to put it more bluntly, General Han is already old, and it is not suitable to fight with those young and strategic generals of Qi State. He was indeed brave in the battlefield for decades, and his experience could be used as an aid to help him in some moments, but with his arrogance, it was impossible to be willing to be a lieutenant general. So I think you should find a reason to replace General Han. ”

"Not to mention that changing the owner at such a critical moment will shake people's hearts, based on the current situation alone, there is no one in the DPRK and China to lead the army now."

"Xiao Ling can do it."

"Are you kidding me? To let him lead the army is to tell him to die. ”

Xiao Jin's words definitely didn't mean to belittle and look down on Xiao Ling, he was just stating a fact. Although Xiao Ling is his half-brother, he has had no interest in learning since he was a child, and he can't do martial arts.

"I'm not kidding, Xiao Ling is okay, he is at least your own brother, you should believe him." You should trust me too.

Xiao Jin was silent for a while.

In terms of state affairs, he is still very willing to listen to Han Cicada's opinions, because Han Cicada can do it well every time.

"What I'm worried about is that even if I listen to you now, will he be willing?"

"He'll be willing, I'll go with him."

So that night, Xiao Ling was taken to the room by the cold cicada.

After Chill told him about it, as expected, he objected, "Did I make you so annoying!" You're telling me to die now! ”

It's like a brother, and the words spoken are exactly the same.

"I didn't tell you to die, I just told you to lead the troops."

"Isn't that the same as sending me to death! You know I can't! ”

"Shouldn't you know best in your heart whether you can do it or not? Xiao Ling, you didn't seem to be able to compare to Xiao Jin in everything at the beginning, isn't it because you were afraid that your brother would break up because of the competition for the throne. The reason you did this is to protect your mother, protect Xiao Jin, and protect yourself. But now, Xiao Jin is already the emperor, and your skills shouldn't be hidden like this, you should let your brother take a look, you are no worse than him. ”

"You ......" how can you know so clearly.

Han Cicada naturally knows clearly, she may know more about some things in this palace than some old people, for no other reason, but her master always likes to go to the palace room to peep on the trees, and when he sees something interesting, he wants to talk to her about it, and for a long time, her mind is full of gossip about the palace.

When Xiao Jin and Xiao Ling's mother concubine was alive, the emperor was very favored, and intended to give them the position of the crown prince to one of them, at that time Xiao Ling and Xiao Jin were both excellent princes, the only difference is that Xiao Jin was raised by their mother and concubine herself, and Xiao Ling was raised by the Queen Mother since she was a child, and she returned to her mother when she was seven years old, and her mother's love is always partial, the imperial concubine once secretly called Xiao Ling to the house, telling Xiao Ling not to compete with Xiao Jin for the first place in everything, and not to behave better than Xiao Jin. At that time, although Xiao Ling didn't know why his mother said this to him, he still nodded and agreed, never behaving better than Xiao Jin in front of people, and as the days went by, there were rumors in the palace that the three princes were incompetent.

Han Cicada felt that Xiao Ling was pitiful, and she also knew that Xiao Ling was capable, so his talent should not be submerged in the palace, and he should go to a suitable place for him to show his brilliance.

Xiao Ling left three days later.

Xiao Jin didn't let too many people know about it, so when he left, there were very few people who went to see him off. The frost is also gone, and it is rare to have red eyes, she said to Xiao Ling You have to come back early, but you have to take good care of yourself, but don't be bullied.

Xiao Ling was moved in his heart, hugged Hanshuang, and said that when I am not there, you should not be bullied.

The cicada didn't speak, only handed him a bag containing an amulet.

Xiao Jin patted him on the shoulder and said take care.

After that, Xiao Ling left.

The first snow of the year fell in Yanguo.
