Shi Zhan saw that Shi Hu was deep in thought, so he said in a low voice: "If my father didn't give orders, the ministers there retired first. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Shi Hu raised his head and said, "Don't leave yet, I still have something to discuss with you." ”

Shi Zhan said suspiciously: "Your Majesty, you said." ”

"I see that although the Xianbei people sent a table of surrender this time, that Murong Jun seems to be very low-key everywhere, I always feel that Xianbei's peace is only temporary, what do you think about this?"

"Erchen never believed that Xianbei would really surrender to our Zhao Kingdom, and now they just want a respite."

"Since you think so too, I think it's better to send troops directly to destroy Xianbei, so as to save you a lot of dreams at night."

Shi Zhan shook his head and said, "Although Xianbei has been hit hard, with the current situation of Zhao State, it is not enough to support such a big battle. ”

Why is that? Dugu Nanxin's 60,000 troops are all Xianbei elites, and now the Xianbei army is only tens of thousands, and if they die, it is 100,000, and our Zhao State has more than 200,000 soldiers, what are you afraid of? ”

"This is not a matter of troops, if you look at the troops, Xianbei has no chance of winning, but around our Zhao State, there are Xiongnu in the north, and there is Jin in the south. However, if most of the soldiers and horses are left to guard the rear, then this expedition to Liaodong, with only tens of thousands of horses, I am afraid it will be a little insufficient. ”

"There are not many Xianbei elites left, even if they have 100,000 soldiers and horses, they may not be your opponents, right? When did you become so cautious? Shi Hu asked with a frown.

"Erchen is not cowardly, nor is he doubting the combat effectiveness of our soldiers." Shi Zhan explained.

"What's that?"

"When Qin sent troops to attack Chu, Yingzheng asked Li Xin how many soldiers and horses he needed, Li Xin said that 200,000 was enough, but Wang Jian said that it was necessary to have 600,000. As a result, Li Xin was sent by Yingzheng to attack the state of Chu, all the way to attack the city and plunder the land, invincible, but in the end he did not succeed, and buried 200,000 troops, the reason is not that Li Xin's 200,000 soldiers and horses are not enough or Li Xin is incompetent, but that the state of Chu is vast, and the 200,000 soldiers and horses can not keep all the troops to defend all the cities captured all the way, but will be eaten away by the state of Chu step by step and exhausted. Later, Wang Jian took the state of Chu with an army of 600,000 precisely because he took this into account. If you want to completely conquer Xianbei, you must have an army of 300,000, which is the real reason why Erchen is unwilling to fight Xianbei. Shi Zhan said seriously.

"Could it be that I want to sit and watch Murong Hao catch his breath and come to us for trouble?" Shi Hu asked a little unpleasantly.

"The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman wins. Now we don't have to rush for a while, that will give the Huns a chance. The top priority at the moment should be to develop production, expand the population, and have sufficient food, grass and soldiers, no matter how much Xianbei gasps, it is useless, and at that time, it will not be too late to fight Xianbei. ”

"There's some truth to what you're saying." Shi Hu nodded as he listened.

"But just in case, Erchen has a suggestion, I don't know if it's right to say it." Shi Zhan said to Shi Huzuo.

"Tell me about it." Shi Hu raised his hand, then poured himself a glass of wine.

"According to Erchen, this humble Murong Hao is muddy and will not do much, but his two sons are not simple." Shi Zhan paused.

"Why isn't it easy?"

"Murong Jun is extremely patient in the world, deeply hidden, and has a royal spirit in every word and deed, which can be called resourceful. Although Murong Ke is young, he has the courage of ten thousand people, and over time, he is afraid that it will be even more difficult to deal with than Dugu Nanxin. Although the current Xianbei is temporarily subjugated to His Majesty, if these two brothers return to Xianbei, it will be equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain, and there will be endless troubles in the future. ”

When Shi Hu heard this, his face suddenly changed, he looked at Shi Zhan with wide eyes, and asked, "Then according to your opinion, do you want to kill these two people?" ”

Shi Hu said, and made a "click" action.

Shi Zhan shook his head and said, "You can't kill it." ”

"Why is that?" Shi Hu didn't seem to understand.

"The two countries are not at war, not to mention that the Xianbei people are sending the surrender table this time, it is easy to kill the two brothers, but in this case, it will not be able to block the mouths of the people of the world, which will inevitably make Your Majesty lose your trust in the world, and it will be useless in Your Majesty's holy name. In addition, if these two brothers are killed, maybe the Xianbei people will fight with Zhao Guo because of this, after all, the rabbit is in a hurry and bites, not to mention that the Xianbei people are hard bones. If you just start a war with Xianbei, you don't have to worry too much now, I'm afraid that the Xiongnu and the Jin Kingdom will take advantage of the fire to rob. So these two can't be killed, at least not now! ”

"Kill and can't kill, let go and can't release, so what should I do? Is it possible to lock them up? Shi Hu asked with a frown.

"Your Majesty, but to be exact, it's not a pass, it's house arrest! We can find countless reasons to keep them in Yecheng, just eat and starve, in this way, the Xianbei people have two sons in the hands of Zhao Guo, and they will not dare to act rashly, at least they can ensure that the Jicheng area of Zhao State has no worries about military disasters for more than ten years, and Your Majesty does not have to worry about letting the tiger return to the mountain and leaving troubles, this is a plan to kill two birds with one stone. ”

After listening to Shi Zhan's words, Shi Hu said to him with some excitement: "You have a good idea!" Do as you say! ”

"Your Majesty......"

While the two were talking, there was a noise outside: "Niangniang, you can't go in!" Your Majesty is discussing things with Xihuahou inside! ”

"Who's out there?" Shi Hu asked loudly.

"Your Majesty, the concubine asks to see you!" Lu An shouted outside the door.

Shi Zhan said with interest: "Father, since the mother asks to see you, the minister will leave first, and then enter the palace another day to greet you!" ”

Shi Hu nodded and waved his hand to signal him to step back.

Shi Zhan opened the door of Hongguang Pavilion, and Concubine Liu Guifei was turning her back to the gate and insulting Lu An, when she heard the sound of the door opening behind her, she turned her head to look.

"Concubine Niangniang." Shi Zhan politely bowed.

Concubine Liu didn't respond, turned to Lu An and said, "You can enter the palace now, right?" Well? ”

Lu An knelt on the ground and didn't speak, just lowered his head.

Liu Guifei snorted coldly, didn't pay attention to Shi Zhan, just glanced at him, passed by, and walked into Hongguang Pavilion.

Shi Zhan glanced back at Concubine Liu, and then said to Lu An, "You can get up." ”

Lu An raised his head slightly and glanced at it, then he dared to stand up slowly, and whispered to Shi Zhan: "Master Xie." ”

Shi Zhan smiled slightly, and then left.

When Liu Guifei entered the Hongguang Pavilion, she shouted to Shi Hu delicately: "Your Majesty~"

Shi Hu stood up with a smile on his face, opened his hands and hugged Liu Guifei in his arms, kissed him hard, and asked, "Why did Concubine Ai come over?" I was just discussing things with Xihuahou, and you came to make trouble? Well? ”

Shi Hu said, his hand scratching restlessly on Liu Guifei's body.

"Oops! Your Majesty, you are so bad! Liu Guifei struggled out of Shi Hu's embrace, ran to the side, and said, "How can the concubine know that Your Majesty is discussing things with Xihuahou inside?" The door is still closed in broad daylight, and the concubine thinks that you are pampering Lord Liang inside! ”

Shi Hu smiled a little embarrassedly, and asked Liu Guifei, "Concubine Ai knows everything?" ”

"I already knew!" Liu Guifei pretended to be angry, pouted and sat down, not looking at Shi Hu.

What is Shi Hu a thief with a weak heart, an emperor in dignity, and a daughter-in-law, what is going on? If you are known, you will only be scolded as a faint king! So Shi Hu sat down next to Liu Guifei with a smile and said, "Concubine Ai is really magnanimous, she has always known about this but she doesn't lose her temper with me, she is really well-behaved and obedient!" Come on, come on, I'll give you something today! ”

Shi Hu said, pulled Liu Guifei up, and said, "Come with me!" I've got you covered! ”

"Don't give a reward to your concubines!" Liu Guifei let go of Shi Hu's hand and refused to get up on the ground.

Shi Hu saw that Liu Guifei refused to get up, so he walked to the inner room alone, and Liu Guifei couldn't help but take a sneak look when she saw Shi Hu walking away. After a while, Shi Hu walked out with a box, and Liu Guifei hurriedly turned around, pretending not to look at him.

Shi Hu took the box, walked to Liu Guifei's side, did it, and said with a somewhat excited expression: "Concubine Ai, guess what's in this?" ”

"The concubine can't guess!"
