Concubine Ming said: "It is inevitable that there will be casualties in war, even if it is innocent people. ”

Liu Xie asked: "Do you mean that Ran Zhen only cares about attacking, and does not care about the life and death of civilians?" ”

Concubine Ming said: "If there is no other better strategy, the concubine thinks that this is the only way." ”

Liu Xioran asked her to sit down, and asked Zhuge Liang again: "What is the opinion of the military advisor?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "What Niangniang said was the last last resort to do so, but Weichen thought that he could salute first and then soldier." If she refused, she would distribute leaflets to the castle and let them cause chaos within themselves, and in the end, if nothing worked, they would have to attack hard. ”

Huang Yueying said: "When the Han army was conquering the princes, it did not take into account the civilians when attacking the city, and only after the city was broken could it have time to take care of the civilians. Therefore, there is absolutely no need for Weichen to be special for the Japanese people. ”

Concubine Ming said: "This palace also agrees with Huang Junshi's statement, but what I am worried about now is whether there will be some evil things during the siege of the city." ”

Liu Xie said: "Then do what Kong Ming said, first persuade to surrender, then carry out propaganda, and finally attack the city." ”

After that, he ordered people to gather translators, and only make propaganda materials for persuasion of surrender, and hurriedly printed, so that all the materials could be printed tomorrow morning.

At the same time, the messenger was ordered to bring a letter of surrender to Himiko, and the next thing was to wait for Himiko's response.

Concubine Ming and the others were in a hurry, so Liu Xie asked them all to rest, and Concubine Ming and the others left the camp. Watching them leave, Liu Xie called Xiao Luozi and said a few words, and Xiao Luozi also went out.

Xiao Luozi left the camp, caught up with Concubine Ming, and said, "Concubine Ming, Your Majesty has a decree to let you go to her imperial camp to rest." Your Majesty will come to you when he is free. ”

Concubine Ming said with excitement on her face: "So, has Your Majesty forgiven the palace?" ”

Xiao Luozi said with a smile: "This slave doesn't know, Niangniang just goes to rest, as for Mrs. Yu, Your Majesty also specially asked the slave to arrange it for her." ”

Concubine Ming asked, "May I ask Gonggong Luo, how does Your Majesty arrange for my mother?" ”

Xiao Luozi said: "This is exactly what the slave wants to tell Niangniang, Your Majesty sent a pair of men and horses to escort Mrs. Yu to the port to return to China on the warship, and instructed Niangniang to see her off." ”

Concubine Ming thought for a while and said, "That's fine, please ask my father-in-law to take me to see my mother." ”

Liu Xie sent a team of more than 300 archers to escort Mrs. Yu to Xihe Port, where there happened to be five warships, not far from the dog platform, more than a hundred miles, if you don't stop, you should be able to arrive in the middle of the night.

Concubine Ming arrived, the team had not yet set off, and Mrs. Yu was weak and not good at riding for too long, so she took the carriage. Seeing her daughter coming to see her off, Mrs. Yu hugged her and cried.

Concubine Ming said: "Mother is going to the Han Dynasty, even if it is a fallen leaf and returning to the roots, Your Majesty treats me kindly, and I will definitely not treat my mother badly." The mother only has to enjoy the blessings, and the daughter will return to the mainland to accompany her mother after assisting His Majesty in pacifying the Waren Island. ”

Mrs. Yu cried: "I never dreamed that my mother and son would be able to survive the suffering, and now my greatest wish is to be able to hug my grandson as soon as possible." ”

Concubine Ming smiled and said: "Mother, don't worry, you can't wait a year, and your daughter will make your wish come true." ”

The two said goodbye, and Lady Yu left, escorted by cavalry to Xihe Port. Concubine Ming saw her mother leave, and she also walked to the imperial camp with mixed feelings.

When she came to the imperial camp, there were already palace maids and guards waiting, preparing a large bucket of hot water, sprinkling flower petals, and serving her to bathe and change clothes.

Due to his participation in the Battle of Xiongtai and the rapid march, his body was very dirty and stained with a lot of blood. After taking a shower, change into a clean red clean outfit.

The maid served her again and put on makeup.

After all this was done, the bath bucket was removed, and Liu Xie came.

Seeing Concubine Ming, Liu Xie said: "Concubine Ai is becoming more and more beautiful." ”

Concubine Ming knelt down and said: "It was the concubine who was guilty before, and I never thought that Your Majesty could ignore the past suspicions." ”

Liu Xie stepped forward and hugged her to sit down in front of the couch and said, "I also blamed you before, I never thought that you would have such a tragic experience." ”

Concubine Ming said: "The concubine knows that His Majesty also had an unhappy year, and in comparison, the concubine should be considered lucky." ”

Liu Xie sighed and said, "At least you still have a mother, but when I was born, my biological mother was poisoned." The emperor's grandmother, who loved me the most, also left me. ”

Concubine Ming said: "Then Your Majesty, can the two of us be regarded as sympathy for the same disease?" ”

"Yes, of course!"

Concubine Ming stood up, faced Liu Xie, and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, from now on, the concubines will always be loyal to Your Majesty, and if there is anything, they will never hide it from Your Majesty, in this life, the concubines are all Your Majesty's women." ”

Liu Xie stood up with a smile and helped her up, and said, "I believe in you." Are you still drinking flower slippery grass? ”

Suddenly asked, Concubine Ming said: "Your Majesty is going to laugh at the concubine, that is all the concubine's ignorance before, since His Majesty sent me back to Beihai, I haven't drunk it for three months, and the concubine's blood pressure drop medicine powder and prescription have been thrown away, and I will not drink it again in the future." ”

Liu Xie smiled and said, "Are you ready to give birth to a prince or princess?" ”

Concubine Ming nodded shyly.

"So what are you waiting for? Come on," Liu Xie said, hugging her and falling on the bed, he was about to do the rain and clouds.

Concubine Ming said: "Your Majesty, this is broad daylight." ”

"What about the daytime? And no one will bother you. ”

"Ah, Your Majesty, you tap."

……

The two of them had a lot of fun, and they both fell asleep after everything, but they didn't sleep long before they were woken up by Xiao Luozi shouting outside.

Liu Xie sat up, glanced at Concubine Ming, who was still sleeping beside him, and asked softly, "What's the matter?" ”

Xiao Luozi leaned close to the tent curtain outside and whispered: "The envoy sent by our army to Inutai was killed by the Japanese people. ”

"What?" Liu Xie couldn't help but be furious, "It's really the opposite!" ”

With that, get up and get dressed. Concubine Ming opened her sleepy eyes and tasted: "Why is Your Majesty so angry?" ”

Liu Xie said: "Your aunt killed my messenger. ”

Concubine Ming also got up and dressed when she heard this, and Liu Xie said, "You are tired from the journey and sleep for a while." ”

Concubine Ming said: "No, the concubine wants to get up, my aunt knows witchcraft, and the concubine is not worried about our Han army, for fear that she will suffer." ”

Liu Xie looked at Concubine Ming, and Concubine Ming said: "Your Majesty, please believe in the concubine, the concubine has half Han blood, so the current concubine is Han!" ”

"That's okay, you also get up and contact the generals to see what to do."

The maid and the guard came in to serve the two and dress.

Not long after arriving at the Chinese military camp, the generals were already waiting. The messenger brought back from the people, carrying a wooden box containing the messenger's head.
