The defeat in this battle greatly weakened the prestige of the crown prince Yao Xing, shook the entire Guanzhong, and gave a great shock to the upper and lower levels of the Later Qin.

Since then, the strength and weakness of the north and the south have changed positions, and it has also set the tone for Qin after the final demise of Hexi.

Yao Xing, the prince of Later Qin, who was in embarrassment, endured huge psychological pressure.

Since then, he has repeatedly suggested Yao Chang and asked to send troops to take revenge.

However, Shang Shufu shot Yin Wei and suggested that Yao Chang implement the strategy of defending the north and attacking the west, first destroy the weaker Fu Deng, and then unite with Western Qin to fight against the powerful Hexi.

Yao Shuode, a famous general of the clan, also agreed with Yin Wei's suggestion and advocated the use of troops against Fu Deng first.

In this regard, Emperor Yao Chang hesitated, so he secretly summoned Yin Wei into the palace to discuss.

"Your Majesty is worried that someone in the country will despise the crown prince?"

"However, since returning from the defeat, the domestic public opinion is turbulent, and the spearhead is all pointed at the prince."

"If I refuse the prince's invitation again, I am afraid that the outside world will think that the crown prince's position is unstable, and then it will become a disaster of elbows and armpits."

"Your Majesty's worries are indeed worrying."

"In fact, the defeat of Shangjun was not all the fault of the prince, and the prince's performance in the war was remarkable."

"But no one expected that the Hexi Army would borrow Xiyan."

"Alas, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and I don't take it to heart."

"It is a pity to lose some soldiers and horses, lose skin and other places, but it will not affect the overall situation."

"But in the matter of the crown prince, if it is not handled properly, it may shake the country's foundation."

"How to deal with it, please Aiqing don't hesitate to give advice."

Yao Chang was so anxious to establish Yao Xing's prestige was really a last resort, originally from the beginning of this year, he was sixty-one years old, and his body began to have various problems, especially stimulated by Yao Xing's defeat in Shangjun, and he felt that his life was not long in coming, so he was in a hurry to support Yao Xing.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, let the minister ponder carefully."

When Yin Wei fell into deep thought, Yao Chang also closed his eyes and thought about his own thoughts.

At this moment, it was gray outside the window, and a large dark cloud appeared in the sky, the clouds were getting thicker and thicker, and there was a faint sound of thunder.

After a while, the heavy rain of beans fell ticking and dripping, and the rain became heavier and denser, flowing down the eaves of the palace, and finally forming a hanging curtain of water.

At this moment, Yao Chang was lying on the couch, listening to the sound of the water flowing outside, like a small river flowing, and the lightning reflected on his face, looking more gloomy and cold.

Whenever he thought of the current situation facing Hou Qin, Yao Chang quickly felt a sense of unease in his heart.

He never thought that he would not hesitate to bear the name of killing the monarch and take great pains to establish Hou Qin, and in the blink of an eye, it was also a moment of life and death.

Although the scale of the Battle of Shangjun was small, it had a far-reaching impact on Later Qin.

not only made Hou Qin lose the northeast barrier from then on, but also caused Yao Xing's prestige to plummet.

The latter, in particular, was simply fatal to Hou Qin.

What's more, Yao Chang knew that his life was not long in coming, and he had to arrange everything properly before he died.

No, Qin may not be like Qianqin, after his death, it will fall apart in an instant.

Therefore, the prince's authority must be re-established as soon as possible!

Thinking of this, Yao Chang opened his eyes and glanced at Yin Wei.

"Aiqing has a clue?"

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the only countermeasure is to urge the prince to win military merits as soon as possible."

"Specifically?"

"Go west to conquer Eddon."

"Your Majesty, now that Yang Ding is dead, Dou Chong has rebelled, Fu Deng is at the end of the road, and his demise is only in the mink."

"The minister asks His Majesty to send troops, with the prince as the main general, and Yao Shuode, the assassin of Qinzhou, as the deputy general, and the minister is willing to invite himself to be the chief of the march, so as to give advice to the prince."

"I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?"

After listening to Yin Wei's discussion, Yao Chang's eyes lit up.

There are famous generals of the clan who serve as deputies to the prince, and Yin Wei is on the side to give advice, and the opponent is still dying, and this battle should be foolproof.

"It's just that I've worked hard for Shuode and the Qing family."

"Chenben Buyi, loved by His Majesty, how dare he not serve with his death?"

……

In Yao Chang's discussion with his confidants, the crown prince Yao Xing was hiding in the East Palace to drink to drown his sorrows.

After returning from defeat, Yao Xing was in a very bad mood.

Public opinion inside and outside the DPRK and China is extremely unfavorable to him, and if it were not for Yao Chang's support, I am afraid that even the crown prince would not be able to keep his position.

Outside the window, the sky was gray, and it began to rain lightly from noon.

In the afternoon, a dark cloud the size of a city appeared over Chang'an.

The clouds were getting thicker and thicker, and there were faint bursts of thunder, which came from above from time to time.

The rain was falling and the rain was getting heavier and louder.

Yao Xing drank sullen wine while watching the rain falling down the eaves outside.

The rain became denser and denser, and finally merged into a hanging curtain of water, and the sound of rushing water was like a small river flowing outside the window.

Lightning streaked across the sky, and the bright light reflected on Yao Xing's face, which looked more and more gloomy and cold.

At this moment, his mood was as dark as the weather in front of him.

As soon as he thought of Wei Shuo, Yao Xing's heart quickly swelled up with a sense of discomfort.

He has hardly encountered any setbacks since he was a child, but for the first time he commanded the army, he was ruthlessly planted in front of Wei Shuo.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, and Yao Xing, who felt that he had been disturbed by the wine, was about to scold the other party, but Yao Chang broke in angrily.

"Father...... Father? Yao Xing's eyes widened, and he slammed into a snort.

"You...... You've disappointed me so much, but it's just a small failure, why are you so decadent? ”

Yao Chang was furious, he didn't expect Yao Xing to be so useless, and he couldn't help but be disappointed.

"I knew you were so unlucky, I shouldn't have made you the prince in the first place."

"The father and the emperor atone for their sins, and the sons are just slacking off for a while, and they will never dare to indulge in it."

Looking at his son who was lying on the ground kowtowing and confessing his sins, Yao Chang's heart burst with anger, pointing at Yao Xing and scolding.

"I think when I fought against Fu Deng, didn't I also lose repeatedly? But why did I gain the upper hand in the end? Isn't it because I'm never discouraged and never give up? ”

"Look at you again, it's just a failure, and it's so decadent, how can you shoulder the burden of governing the world in the future?"

"I came here today to tell you that I was going to give you another chance, but I didn't expect you to ......"

"Father, the son knows his mistake, and he will never dare to indulge in wine in the future."

Looking at his once high-spirited son, but now he is languishing, Yao Chang couldn't help but feel heartache.

In fact, he did not put the responsibility for the defeat of the Shangjun Plateau on Yao Xing, in Yao Chang's opinion, if Wei Shuo was not too cunning and borrowed Xiyan, the victory or defeat should be in the number of five or five.

"You get up first, I know that the recent remarks have been very bad for you, but you must understand that I have never thought of changing the crown prince."

After listening to Yao Chang's personal promise, Yao Xing finally relieved himself and hurriedly got up from the ground.

"Actually, speaking of which, I am also responsible this time, and I shouldn't have let you lead the troops north."

"That Wei Shuo is not an ordinary person, even the famous Lu Guang was killed by him, and it is not a shame for you to defeat him."

"The child has disappointed his father." Yao Xing's face was full of shame.

"You did disappoint me, but not because you were defeated by Wei Shuo, but because you didn't think about it after you failed, but indulged in wine and collapsed."

"Forget it, for the sake of what you know is wrong, I won't say more, I just hope you will take it as a warning."

reprimanded Yao Xing, and saw that he did have the intention of repentance, so Yao Chang found out what he meant.

"I intend to continue to send you to lead the army, but this time it is not the Northern Expedition."

"Not the Northern Expedition? Where is that? ”

"Eddon."

When he learned that the target of the conquest was Fu Deng and not Wei Shuo, Yao Xing was in a very complicated mood, both relieved and a little unwilling.

"I know that you really want to seek revenge on Wei Shuo, but now the time has not come, and you must solve your worries before you can devote yourself to the north and fight with Hexi."

"This time, I will send Yao Shuode and Yin Wei to you as helpers, I hope you will seize this opportunity."

Seeing that Yao Chang arranged it so properly, Yao Xing was moved to tears, and he didn't know what to say.

"The father is gracious, and the sons and ministers have nothing to repay."

"Alas, my time is short, and I will have to rely on you to support this country in the future."

"Please rest assured, my father, this time the retainer will definitely kill Fu Deng with his own hands, thinking that Hou Qin will get rid of the trouble of his henchmen."
