Wang Xu raised his eyes and smiled.

Wang Xu's smile seemed to be a little creepy, Zheng Feng hesitated for a moment, and finally came to the seat and sat down.

"Your Majesty, I..."

"Needless to say, General Zheng, Gao Quan is powerful, and it is reasonable that you can't hold Qingyuan County, let's just say it, how many troops have you lost?"

Unexpectedly, Wang Xu was so reasonable, Zheng Feng was a little overjoyed, and when he mentioned the matter of the fallen soldiers, he frowned again, because this time it was a heavy loss. Almost all of his troops were lost, and in the face of Wang Xu, Zheng Feng was a little embarrassed.

"Just say how much you have lost, you don't have to be so babbling."

"Yes."

Zheng Feng said: "Back to Your Majesty, this time the last general commanded 100,000 people, lost 70,000 to 80,000, and only more than 10,000 people returned to the imperial capital." ”

As soon as Zheng Feng finished speaking, he looked at Wang Xu intently, paying attention to Wang Xu's demeanor.

"100,000 people, 90,000 people have been lost, and 90% out of 10 have gone out, so it's okay to retrain again."

Wang Xu waved his hand: "You go to the military department to report the loss, let Huang Quan make up all the troops you have lost, and then garrison the army in the imperial capital." ”

"No."

Zheng Feng was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

.............

Time flies, two months later.

Morning.

"Your Majesty, the Southern Capital sent people to send five million taels of silver, 500,000 taels of gold, 200,000 taels of grain, and countless pieces of gold and silver, which have been stored and sealed."

In the court, Jia Hui went out of the way.

As soon as Jia Hui's words fell, the civil and military officials began to discuss, Nandu and the Holy Dynasty have always been hostile, and they have sent so many things, and their hearts are worth studying.

Everybody thinks again, what does this mean?

Wang Xu suddenly laughed: "Gao Quan, he actually wants to rely on this little benefit, and he wants to turn the war into a jade silk." He is delusional, and he will have to settle accounts with him sooner or later. ”

"Childish!"

After a pause, Wang Xu said: "Take those things back to him, my holy dynasty does not lack these things!" ”

"No."

"No, no, no. Never. ”

Suddenly, Wen Qing stood up: "Your Majesty, the high authorities have sent these things, why should we be stubborn?" ”

"What do you mean?"

Wang Xu asked.

It can be seen that Wen Qing must have a second meaning. But he looked around and didn't say anything.

"Okay, retreat from the dynasty, Wen Qing stays, and the imperial study will see you."

"No."

........

In the Imperial Study.

Wen Qing was ordered to arrive.

"Say it." Wang Xu came to the seat and sat down, and said directly.

Wen Qing said: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, if we send troops next time, does Your Majesty want to attack the Eastern Capital or the Southern Capital?" Or is it the Northern Capital? ”

Wen Qing did not answer Wang Xu's words, but asked a question.

Wang Xu thought for a moment. Said: "Of course, it's the Eastern Capital; The north is our subject country, there is no need to attack for the time being, and then there is Ling Feng in the northernmost part, I don't want to fight with him, and then there is the southern capital, although the southern capital is not as strong as us, but it is stronger than the eastern capital, and now there are more troops than the eastern capital, it is difficult to attack the south, and it is easy to attack the eastern capital. Therefore, I have to make it easy first and then difficult. ”

Wen Qing nodded: "Since this is the case, then we can't have trouble with Gao Quan, although we are a little annoyed by the loss of Qingyuan County." But now that it's lost, we don't have to pay attention to it, we can make friends with Gao Quan first, and then return to China to clean him up after destroying the Eastern Capital. ”

"If Your Majesty rejects Gao Quan's kindness in a fit of anger, then Gao Quan will definitely think it. His Majesty does not want to befriend him, maybe tomorrow will be the battle, the high power will definitely be fully prepared for war, if we attack the eastern capital, he will definitely lead the army to come, and at that time, it will be quite troublesome. ”

Wang Xu suddenly realized: "What you said is very reasonable! ”

"Okay, then the gift from the high authority of his subordinates, in addition, give him something of the same value in the past, it can be regarded as a gift exchange."

Wang Xu said.

However, as soon as Wang Xu's words fell, Wen Qing shook his head: "Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this. ”

"What do you mean? Don't you want to make friends with Nandu? ”

Wang Xu frowned.

"It's good to be good, but Your Majesty can't do it too obviously, Your Majesty, please imagine, we just lost Qingyuan County, and it's already very strange if we don't find a high power to settle accounts, if you give him a gift, then he will definitely have to guess, he will think, what will we do, what is its intention?"

"Once there is this conjecture, the high power will not be really friendly with us, and this move will be meaningless."

Wen Qing said nothing, Wang Xu nodded thoughtfully, I have to say that Wen Qing was very thoughtful, and even thought of Gao Quan's thoughts.

"Okay, just do as you say."

"Yes."

........

This matter is really as Wen Qing said, even if this is the case, Gao Quan is still suspicious, suspecting why Wang Xu suddenly changed his temper, and he is not in a hurry to lose a county, and there is no revenge.

According to Gao Quan's own guess before, when she took Qingyuan County, Wang Xu would definitely lead the army to attack, and if she didn't do it well, she would directly send troops to Nandu, he was ready for a decisive battle, but to his surprise, Wang Xu did not come.

What made Gao Quan even more puzzled was that when the gift list was sent to the imperial capital, it was all accepted, and Wang Xu still had the intention of making friends with Nandu.

However, after Gao Quan thought about it for a while, he didn't continue to think about it, because he guessed that it was because Wang Xu also needed peace and development space, and he didn't want to provoke a war for the time being, and then try to dominate the world when he was full-fledged.

"It's time to develop well, to develop quickly..."

In one room, Gao Quan muttered to himself.

"Prime Minister, Your Majesty is invited."

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, and a soldier said.

"Got it, I'll go."

In response, Gao Quan changed into a set of clean official uniforms, and then strode out of Huatang.

........

On the top of the golden palace where Hu Ling is located, singing and dancing, it is very lively, there are more than a dozen women swaying to their heart's content, there are bands playing, etc., Gao Quan walked in here, saw the scene on the golden palace, and shook his head helplessly.

Hu Ling is like this almost every day, rarely paying attention to political affairs, if he met an evil and ambitious prime minister, I am afraid that he would have taken his position and replaced him, but Gao Quan is not that kind of person, and he doesn't want to be an emperor anymore, Gao Quan's thoughts are the same as Cai Wenzhuo, Yang Mingyue and others.

"Your Majesty, the old minister."

Gao Quan came to the front and saluted respectfully.

"The prime minister is exempt from the courtesy, and the seat is given."

Hu Ling's face was happy, and he waved his hand, signaling Gao Quan to take a seat.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Gao Quan came to his place and took a seat, and then arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, what is the matter with summoning the old minister?" ”

"The prime minister has conquered Qingyuan County, it's really a great joy, I've been busy with government affairs for days, and I haven't had time to reward you yet, so don't be too careful."

Hu Lingdao.

Gao Quan secretly sneered.

What does it mean to be busy with political affairs for several days? I think I'm busy with romance, right?

"It is the minister's duty to share worries for the king, and Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this."

Hu Ling smiled and said slowly: "If you want to give you an official position, you are already the prime minister, and you are already above ten thousand people under one person, if you want to give you gold and silver, you may not be rare, how can this be good?" ”

Hu Ling's words are thorough, Gao Quan is indeed not short of money, if he wants money, will he expect Hu Ling's reward?

If Gao Quan is a corrupt official like Wen Qing, then the absolute wealth is rival to the country, such as Qingyuan County, which has just been taken, Gao Quan can completely take the grain, gold and silver in the city as his own, Hu Ling will know? (To be continued.) )
