The two kings met alone, and when they returned to the team, they also looked at each other again by their respective cars.

"Sister Wang cherishes all the way." Xiao Yuan said loudly, waving his hand and saying goodbye to him.

King Xuan moved the corners of his mouth, as if he was reluctant, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't speak, and finally he could only say the same: "Brother Wang cherishes." ”

The two then returned to the car and the team began to set off separately.

I don't know how long it took, it was already snowing outside, and the soldiers of the Xuan army were still marching unhurriedly, with long halberds and armor rubbing.

In the car, King Xuan was wrapped in a coat, stunned, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Xie Hongling rode a war horse, next to Wang Jia, and when he saw the heavy snow, he couldn't help but say, "King, it's snowing, do you want to make some fire and send it." ”

"Huh?" King Xuan in the car came back to his senses, lifted the curtains and looked outside, "No, I'm warm." ”

With that, she lowered the curtain again, sat in the car and gently stroked her coat.

The other side.

In the slight bumps of the car, Xiao Yuan was wearing a futon, holding a bamboo slip in his hand, and was reading a book.

The king's chariot, of course, was spacious enough, and there was a bed inside, and after a while, he threw down the bamboo slip and shouted outside: "Xu Hu." ”

"Huh? King. Xu Hu rode a horse and walked beside the king.

"Where?" Xiao Yuan didn't lift the curtain, only the voice came.

"Back to the king, it's almost time to reach the mountain valley pass."

"It's not too early, is it?"

"Yes."

"Send someone to tell Wang Lin to rest in Shanyuguan tonight, and ask him to arrange camp tents, dinner, and fire heating for the soldiers in advance. Also, call Lord Shangguan over. ”

"No!"

Xu Hu took the order, pulled the reins slightly, and rode away.

After a while, Shangguan Wenruo hurriedly walked over, the car stopped temporarily, and he hurriedly stepped forward and bent down to arch his hand: "King." ”

"Come in."

"Yes." The latter responded, first patted the wind and snow on his body, tidied up his official uniform, and then got into the car, and after entering, he also saluted respectfully, stood with his hands down, and then secretly glanced at Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan is still wrapped in the quilt, and he doesn't forget to rub his hands, acting very casually: "This weather is cold." ”

After muttering a sentence, he said: "By the way, it will snow heavily this winter, and after returning to the court, the king also plans to let the soldiers take a vacation and go home to see, in addition, in terms of military salaries, the state will give the soldiers some more benefits at the end of the year, pigs and sheep, etc., and let the counties distribute some of them." ”

"This ......" Shangguan Wenruo muttered: "The king has raised the soldiers' salaries several times, and he has already exceeded the countries by too much. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan frowned slightly, and said: "The soldiers followed me to fight in the south and the north, and they fought hard all the way, and they laid down this inch of mountains and rivers to have today's Qin. They are desperate, they are throwing their blood, and for the soldiers, if the country can't even take care of these, then the king will be too derelict in his duty. ”

But Shangguan Wenruo said: "Your lord, the soldiers have won the knighthood for their military merits, which is already very good, which is impossible in all countries, and the military spirit in the army is even more cohesive, without the slightest problem......"

Knowing what he meant, he undoubtedly hoped to reduce state spending in an unnecessary situation, Xiao Yuan interrupted him and said: "Isn't this looking for you to discuss, of course this king knows that there is no problem with the military heart, and it is not a problem with the military heart to do this." ”

"Your Excellency, our low-level officers, and ordinary soldiers, especially the infantry army, often have hard battles, and in this regard, we must make their military salaries and benefits be able to support their parents, wives and children, and it is more than enough, regardless of whether the country has money or not, this expenditure cannot be saved."

"And after this knighthood, the king intends to improve the status of soldiers in the country."

"This ......" Shangguan Wenruo rolled his eyes, and then said respectfully: "The king is wise, and the minister agrees." ”

Xiao Yuan looked at him and smiled, and insinuated: "You literati, do you have a lot of remarks, saying that this king values martial arts and ignores literature, do you think that this king doesn't know?" ”

"Huh!?" Hearing this, Shangguan Wenruo was startled, and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "How dare the minister, King Mingjian." ”

"Okay, you go down first, let's talk about this matter after we return to the capital." Xiao Yuan waved his hand.

"Yes, Weichen retired." Shangguan Wenruo hurriedly saluted.

Does Xiao Yuan value martial arts and light literature? In fact, in his heart, there is indeed a little, but in the matter of the Shi clan, he did not carry out any suppression, but had many promotions.

A country needs civil officials who are good at governing the government, and it also needs military generals who dare to fight.

The procession continued to move forward, and in the evening, it finally arrived at Shanyu Pass.

At this time, the guard Wang Lin naturally had already received the news, that is, he had braved the wind and snow early, led a group of subordinates, and waited at the city gate.

Seeing Xiao Yuan's Wang Jia, he stepped forward quickly, knelt on one knee, hugged his fists and said: "The last general Wang Lin, welcome the king, my king is ten thousand years!" ”

There were still some snowflakes on his helmet.

Xiao Yuan lifted the curtain and walked out, waving his hand casually: "Get up, have you done everything to explain your affairs?" ”

"The king can rest assured, after receiving the king's order, the minister made urgent preparations, and now it is almost ready." Wang Lin got up and returned.

"Yes, it's hard work." Xiao Yuan nodded, subconsciously glanced at the wind and snow around him, and then stepped out of the car.

Wang Lin hurriedly bowed down and stretched out his hand: "The king is careful of snow slippery." ”

After the army entered the mountain valley pass, Wang Lin's side had indeed prepared everything, not only the smoke had risen, but also a lot of charcoal fires.

Council Hall.

There was a big brazier in the middle, the charcoal fire was burning very strongly, after Xiao Yuan came in, he first patted the wind and snow, and then rubbed his hands as if it was very cold, and while he stepped forward to roast the fire, he also beckoned everyone: "Don't stand, come here to keep warm." ”

Yes? When everyone heard this, they were a little stunned.

"Why are you standing stupidly?" Xiao Yuan repeated again.

At this moment, everyone came back to their senses, responded one after another, and then gathered around Xiao Yuan.

Roasting the vigorous charcoal fire, the cold on his body did expel a lot, Xiao Yuan also smiled and said to Xu Rong: "Xu Rong, this time to expel foreign enemies, you have a lot of achievements, yes, my Qin army general, on the battlefield, it should be like this." ”

In front of so many people, being praised by the king like this, Xu Rong suddenly felt fluttering, as if he was stepping on the clouds, and his face was full of excitement: "It is the honor of the last general to be loyal to the king!" ”

"Good! And all of you, all of them have made outstanding achievements, and after returning to the capital, this king will also be rewarded for meritorious deeds! ”

"King Xie-" When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.

What kind of monarch is this, gathering around the fire with all the generals, during which he pulls the family routine, talking and laughing, sometimes, he is so lenient, and sometimes, he is decisive in killing, and he is mighty.
