Jiuyuan, the princess Xingyuan.

Ying Zhen asked Meng Zhen: "General Meng, have you thought about the future of the Qin army?" ”

"Future?" Meng Yan shook his head gloomily, and said lonely, "Your Royal Highness the Princess, the women and children are all dead, and the old Qin people have no future." "When I think of the old and young women and children who were slaughtered and killed by the annoying people in Linhe City, Meng Yan felt a pain in his heart, as the leader of the Great Wall Army, Meng Zhen's self-blame is far beyond others.

"General Meng, don't blame yourself too much." Ying Zhen's expression was slightly suffocated, but Meng Zhen, who lowered his head, didn't notice it, in fact, even if Meng Zhen noticed that Ying Zhen's expression was different, he would definitely not associate the Linhe tragedy with Princess Ying Zhen.

Ying Zhen sighed and said in a quiet voice: "General Meng, you are the leading general of the Great Wall Legion, so you shoulder the future of the entire Great Wall Legion, if you feel that the old Qin people have no future, then the old Qin people are really going to die, but, general, do you really want to watch the old Qin people die?" ”

Meng Yan shook his head gloomily and said, "Princess, how can the last general be willing?" ”

"Why don't you try to fit in?" "Title and title are not important, as long as the blood of our old Qin people is not cut off and the spirit is not lost, we will always be old Qin people." ”

"Princess......" Meng Yan looked up and asked, "Do you want to return to Chu?" ”

Ying Zhen did not admit or deny it, and asked, "Is the general unwilling?" ”

Meng Yan shook his head categorically and said, "We, Meng, as old Qin people, died as old Qin ghosts, and we will never betray Qin Shichu!" ”

"What if ......" Ying Zhen looked at Meng Zhen fixedly, and said, "What if this palace marries General Xiang Zhuang as his wife?" ”

"This ......" Meng Zhen was suddenly dumbfounded when he heard this, Ying Zhen is the only remaining Ying bloodline of the Great Qin Empire, if Ying Zhen really married Xiang Zhuang, then Daqin and Da Chu are one family, and Meng Zhen guards the Ying family, that is, the Xiang family, in this way, Meng Zhen and his Great Wall remnants will actually return to Chu.

Ying Zhen said again: "General Meng, do you think it's okay?" ”

"Who Her Royal Highness the princess is willing to marry depends on the princess's own decision, and the general will never say anything." Meng Yan paused, and said, "If this is the case, our Montessori will definitely protect the Xiang clan like the Ying clan!" "If Ying Zhen marries Xiang Zhuang, although the heir born is still the blood of the Ying family, he is no longer surnamed Ying, but the surname Xiang, and the guardian of the Mengshi family will become Xiang.

Ying Zhen wanted to say to Meng Zhen, no, your Meng clan is still guarding the Ying clan, and it can only be the Ying clan, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them back raw, because Ying Zhen knew very well that the Montessori generation was loyal and good, and the idea of loyalty to the monarch had been integrated into the spiritual gem of the entire family, and he would definitely not accept it if he told him this now.

Fortunately, as long as Meng Yan and the thousands of Qin soldiers of the Great Wall Army integrate into the Chu army and take root and sprout in the Chu land of Jiangdong, then it will naturally form a force that is enough to resist the old Chu department, and when the heir she gave birth to Xiang Zhuang grows into a towering tree in the future, these old Qin troops will naturally gather around him.

Meng Yan thought for a while, and then said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, when will you marry General Xiang Zhuang?" ”

"I don't know." Ying Zhen shook her head and said faintly, "This is just wishful thinking on the part of the palace, maybe General Xiang Zhuang is not willing to marry the palace at all." ”

Meng Yan frowned, and immediately hugged his fists and said, "The last general will retire." ”

Ying Zhen knew what Meng Zhen was going to do, and immediately bowed her head slightly.

########################

Gao Que, the camp of the Chu army.

The soldiers of the Chu army were in groups of ten, five in a group, and were gathering together to drink wine and eat meat.

Xiang Zhuang held the wine jar, is Huan Chu, Ji Bu and other generals surrounded by the whole camp, where they passed, the Chu army soldiers got up one after another, one by one to Xiang Zhuang with warm and admiring eyes, this kind of opportunity to win the hearts of Xiang Zhuang of course will not be missed, and again, now is also a good time to boost morale.

After winning the battle, Xiang Zhuang said a few more words to incite, and the morale of the Chu army came up.

When morale rises, so does combat effectiveness, and the stronger we fight, the stronger we get, on the basis of winning battles.

Of course, if you win a battle, you must reward the whole army, spiritual encouragement is indispensable, and material rewards are indispensable.

Especially now the Chu army is not short of materials, whether it is food, wine or food, how much or how much is needed, the grain captured from Guanzhong, the cattle and sheep stolen from the Aries tribe, have only eaten a small part of it now, rather than not taking it away and burning it when the time comes, it is better to reward the soldiers to eat and drink as much as they want. ,

"Brothers, eat openly, drink openly, and drink enough!"

"The sons and daughters of Da Chu, they are good, and they have played the prestige of our Chu army!" "The brothers who are trapped in the camp are majestic enough, but Hugh slaughtered people but they were defeated by you!"

Although Xiang Zhuang is more just talking and encouraging and rarely drinking, but a few camps are turned down, or drink two large altars, fortunately, the alcohol content of this water and wine is not high, even if he drinks two large altars, his tongue is only slightly stiff, if it is connected to liquor, these two altars are afraid that they should burn people to death.

Thinking of liquor, Xiang Zhuang's heart suddenly moved slightly

This liquor is a good thing, not only can it disinfect, save lives, but also boost morale!

If the soldiers of the Chu army were allowed to drink two sips before going to the battlefield, would they not be able to scream excitedly? Well, I have to discuss it with the bus to see if I can build a still, Xiang Zhuang naturally doesn't know the specific brewing procedure of this liquor, but he knows more or less the principle, it is nothing more than to let the grain ferment, and then steam the alcohol out.

Xiang Zhuang returned to the big tent and just sat down, Bai Lixian walked in with a smile shaking a feather fan.

Baili Xian bowed his hand to Xiang Zhuang and said: "Congratulations to the general, congratulations to the general, hehe"

Xiang Zhuang hurriedly got up and returned the salute, and while solemnly inviting Bailixian to take a seat, he said, "Ziliang, where does the joy come from?" ”

Bai Lixian shook his feather fan and said with a smile: "General, General Meng Yan has already agreed to return to Chu, however, he and the Jiuyuan Old Qin people still have some concerns in their hearts, and in their humble opinion, if the General can manage to marry Princess Yingzhen, then Meng Yan and the Jiuyuan Old Qin people will no longer have any worries." ”

To be honest, Bai Lixian didn't want Princess Yingzhen to marry Xiang Zhuang.

Because in Bai Lixian's opinion, Princess Yingzhen is too scheming, and her ambition is not small.

However, the development of the situation is not completely transferred by the will of the people, with the current situation, Xiang Zhuang is afraid that it will not work if he does not marry Yingzhen, because Meng Zhen has just made it clear that unless he wins Xiang to marry, he and the three thousand Qin soldiers under his command will definitely not betray Qin Shichu, this time, the possibility of slowly winning over Meng Zhen is gone.

Xiang Zhuang was ecstatic, but said: "Isn't this a word?" The princess may not want to marry. ”

"The general is hypocritical, isn't he?" Before the words fell, Wei Yu also walked in with a smile, "The general is majestic and heroic, how can the princess not want to marry?" Lao Yu and Her Royal Highness the princess have also had several contacts, and Her Royal Highness the princess admires the general very much, as long as the general nods, this matter will be done! ”

"Good!" Xiang Zhuang said happily: "Then please ask the military advisor to talk about Xiang!" ”

Wei Yu happily accepted the order, and said, "I don't know when the general plans to get married?" ”

"The sooner the better." Xiang Zhuang rubbed his hands and said, "Tomorrow I will return to Jiuyuan!" ”

Bai Lixian thought for a while, and then said: "General, then the title of Her Royal Highness the princess ......"

Wei Yi's expression was also slightly solemn, this is indeed a problem, but it depends on how Xiang Zhuang decides?

It stands to reason that Ying Zhen is the princess of Daqin, and once she marries Xiang Zhuang, she must be the wife, otherwise, the old Qin people will not agree, and the soldiers of the Qin army of Meng Zhen and the Great Wall Army will not agree.

But once Yingzhen becomes his wife, how can Wei Yue deal with herself?

In any case, Xiang Zhuang and Wei Yue got married first, and Wei Wei is also the princess of Wei, especially the most important thing is that the current Chu army, the Wei people account for the majority, if Xiang Zhuang abolishes Wei Yue's status as a wife in order to win Zhenzhen, once Pang Yu, Jin Xiang and other Wei clans, as well as Wei soldiers make trouble, it will be terrible.

Don't look at Wei Yuerou as weak and cowardly, she doesn't fight for anything, but her popularity is good.

Therefore, who is the main wife and who is the side wife, this issue must be dealt with well, if it is not handled well, it is very likely that a good thing will become a bad thing, leading to the division of the entire Chu army!

However, as a traverser, this matter is not difficult for Xiang Zhuang at all.

At that moment, Xiang Zhuang said without thinking: "The name is easy to handle, it is as big as Wei Yue, and it is a flat wife!" ”

"Uh, Hirata?" Wei Yi and Bai Lixian looked at each other, obviously not expecting Xiang Zhuang to get a flat wife.

Speaking of which, three wives and four concubines have a long history in the Middle Kingdom, but in fact, in the ancient times of the Middle Kingdom, especially in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Qin and Han dynasties, the princes paid attention to the princes without two concubines, that is to say, even the princes and princes, according to the etiquette system, can only marry one wife, if two wives are gathered at the same time, it is a violation of etiquette.

As for the flat wife, there was no such thing in ancient times, and there has never been one.

Wei Yi and Baili Xian were stunned for a moment, and soon came to their senses, so they praised in unison: "Wonderful, wonderful!" ”

Indeed, it is actually unnecessary to divide Ying Zhen and Wei Yue into high and low sides now, and it is asking for trouble, because after returning to Jiangdong, Xiang Zhuang is most likely to succeed the king of Chu, once Ying Zhen or Wei Wei becomes the wife, then they will naturally become the queen of Chu, the question is, will the Chu people in Jiangdong agree?

When the time comes, if the Chu Di clan doesn't agree, will they abolish Ying Zhen or Wei Yue again?

If you really abolish Ying Zhen or Wei Yue, I am afraid that the old Qin people or the old Wei people will not agree again.

Therefore, it is not necessary to establish the names of Ying Zhen and Wei Yue now, it is better to drag on this matter, and Xiang Zhuang is young, now he is only twenty-six years old, and there is really no need to rush to establish Mrs. Yan, and in the future, Xiang Zhuang will completely control the situation in Chu State, who will be the queen, who will be the princess, it is not a matter of his words?
