Chapter 376: The more provocative the more calm

Forcibly enduring Chen Shubao's stimulation, Xiao Yao slowly picked up the wine glass that seemed to weigh a thousand catties, but his eyes were still looking at the screen that blocked Xiao Wuhua behind, his eyes were very complicated, and then he took a deep breath, revealed an extremely ugly smile, raised the wine glass and drank it all, but at this moment, his heart was like a knife!

Chen Xu, who was sitting in the chief, saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, and he also felt a little sorry for Xiao Yao, after all, he took the initiative to bring Xiao Yao to participate in this family banquet, and originally wanted to help Xiao Yao overcome Xiao Wuhua's hurdle and resolve the misunderstanding between him and the prince, but looking at the current situation, Chen Shubao was constantly provoking Xiao Yao, and Xiao Yao was also stimulated to the point that his face turned blue, but he was helpless, he couldn't have a seizure, and he looked very uncomfortable!

It was also Chen Xu who could only take the initiative to relieve Xiao Yao and said: "Today, I and Shiro came to attend your family banquet, not to hear what you say about these mothers-in-law!" Men must put the country first, now is really a critical moment in the Northern Expedition, and the two of you, one is the prince of Chen Guo, the other is the future pillar of our Chen Guo's military circles, and now it is already a family, you two should abandon the previous misunderstandings and contradictions, unite as one, and complete my grand wish of Dachen to recover the Central Plains and unify the world! ”

"Your Majesty has taught you a lesson! Just now Erchen was just a little excited to see Shiro's arrival, after all, Shiro and Wuhua sisters and brothers have a deep relationship, but because they fled in Qi for more than half a year, they missed our big wedding, and as a result, they never saw their sister who had a deep relationship with them as soon as they came back, and Erchen did have a deep apology for Shiro! So now seeing that Shiro can reunite with the two sisters and brothers of Wuhua, although because there are other female dependents sitting there, they are separated from this screen here, causing the two of them to not see each other, but after all, they are already sitting here and participating in this family banquet together, so Erchen is also sincerely excited and happy for them! Chen Shubao explained to Chen Xu with a sincere face.

Then he glanced at Xiao Yao with the corner of his eye, and said with a smile on his face: "Today Shiro is finally willing to enter the palace to meet His Majesty, and look at His Majesty's face is also full of smiles, sweeping away the previous sorrows and boredoms, and even took the initiative to bring Shiro to the East Palace to participate in this family banquet, I believe that this meeting Shiro has helped Your Majesty solve a lot of problems, just now Your Majesty also praised Shiro as the future pillar of our Dachen military circle, could it be that Your Majesty is ready to let Shiro return to the army, and then attack Huaibei?" ”

"Exactly! I have decided to reinstate Shiro and then let him lead his troops to reinforce Renzhou, and then attack Xuzhou! Although the war situation in Huaibei is now in a stalemate, Gao Changgong of Xuzhou is still eyeing Renzhou, and Xuzhou is an important town in Huaibei, and taking Xuzhou is equivalent to taking Huaibei! So if I don't break through Xuzhou for a day, I will be like a fish in my throat, restless! But now Shiro has a good strategy to break the enemy, defeat Gao Changgong, and take Xuzhou is just around the corner! Chen Xu said proudly.

"Really? Then I really want to congratulate Your Majesty! Everyone in the world knows that Shiro is the nemesis of the Qi army, and he has killed a lot of achievements in Xuyi County and fled, and now Shiro can return to his military position, which is really our great luck! I don't know if Shiro has a good strategy to defeat Gao Changgong? Chen Shubao took the opportunity to ask.

"It's very simple, just rebuild my forward brigade, and when the time comes, I will definitely be able to easily defeat Gao Changgong, and then take Xuzhou and recover Huaibei!" Xiao Yao finally spoke, and his heart regained calm, after all, in his heart, he had already accepted the reality that Xiao Wuhua had become someone else's wife, and he was so flustered just now, largely because he didn't expect Chen Shubao to disobey Chen Xu's order and let Xiao Wuhua also appear at this family banquet, which caused him to be completely unprepared to show such nervousness! wonderful

But as Chen Shubao continued to make various provocations to Xiao Yao, and also said all kinds of words to stimulate him, this made Xiao Yao calm down even faster, because Xiao Yao knew that if under the enemy's crazy attack, he did not calm down and withstand the pressure, but instead messed up and panicked, this would be a very dangerous thing!

Therefore, Xiao Yao now has an instinctive reaction to danger, his heart is no longer affected by Xiao Wuhua, and his brain is already functioning normally, and he is quickly thinking about how to fight back against Chen Shubao!

"Really? Seeing that Shiro was so confident in defeating Gao Changgong, his brother-in-law was also very pleased, after all, Gao Changgong had defeated your Xiao father and son, and lost more than half of them! My brother-in-law was worried that you had a shadow on Gao Changgong just now! However, I heard that Gao Changgong now has a unit in his hand that uses firearms, just like your forward brigade, and their commander is still your former subordinate Zhang Dabao! This Zhang Dabao knows your forward brigade well, Shiro, don't be careless! Chen Shubao pretended to remind Xiao Yao on purpose, but in fact, he continued to stimulate Xiao Yao between the words, and by the way, he asked for some news, after all, Chen Xu and Xiao Yao had a secret conversation in the imperial study just now, and the content was only known to the two of them, so Chen Shubao didn't know that Xiao Yao was going to make a second-generation artillery to deal with Gao Changgong!

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince, for the reminder! The reason why Gao Changgong was able to defeat me in the Battle of Linying County last time was actually the same reason why he defeated our two armies in Xuzhou this time, it was because someone in our Chen State was secretly colluding with him and betraying our military intelligence to him, so that he could formulate a targeted strategy to deal with us! As the saying goes, eating a trench grows a wisdom, and now I have taken precautions against this! As for Zhang Dabao, a traitor, hmph, although he was the first subordinate to follow me, I am sure that no matter how thick-skinned he is, he will not dare to say that he knows everything about my forward brigade! What I taught him at the beginning, with his pig brain, what he really learned, less than 30%! Therefore, this so-called artillery unit led by Zhang Dabao and Gao Changgong is actually a vulnerable rabble in my eyes! Xiao Yao said disdainfully.

"Shiro is really self-confident without any of them! But my brother-in-law wants to remind you that marching and fighting is the same as being a man, and you must not be too confident, otherwise you will be arrogant and defeated! And now Gao Changgong has just defeated our Da Chen's army of 50,000, and the morale of the army is at its strongest! But we must win the battle to reinforce Renzhou and attack Xuzhou this time, otherwise we will lose the best chance to recover Huaibei! Therefore, Shiro must have a perfect strategy in order to have full confidence to defeat Gao Changgong! Chen Shubao continued to wrap Xiao Yao's words!

"Of course, I already have a complete plan, I will enter the palace today to meet Your Majesty, promise Your Majesty to return to the military world, and then lead troops to reinforce Huaibei! And the reason is very simple, that is, I didn't say that I have shown my full strength! These cannons are actually some simple weapons that I have made casually, and I still have many wonderful ideas in my head! So although Gao Changgong has now established a decent artillery unit, and even defeated Lu Guangda's 30,000 army with fewer victories, it sounds as strong as my original infantry battalion! But don't forget, I invented these firearms, and only I know how to get the most out of these guns, and only I know the weaknesses of these guns! Xiao Yao pretended to be mysterious.

This confident rhetoric made Chen Xu, who already knew the details, feel overjoyed, but Chen Shubao, who didn't know the inside story, was confused!
