Zhao Yingqi was angry, and when he got up, he wanted to have a seizure.

Zhao Guang squinted at him, his eyes contemptuous. The guards beside him pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords in unison, with the intention of killing Zhao Yingqi and Liang Xiao in the tent as long as Zhao Guang gave an order. Zhao Yingqi realized that he was a guest, his courage was three points weaker, and his face was flushed.

Liang Xiao stopped Zhao Yingqi in time. It doesn't matter if they don't like each other, if they really want to fight, it won't be his purpose, especially when Zhao Guang still controls nearly 20,000 main forces. No matter how brave they are, they may not be able to retreat with their whole body.

"Who are the generals of Minyue? How many centaurs are there? ”

Zhao Guang rolled his eyes lazily. "The general of Minyue is called Jing Zhao, and he is said to be a Han Chinese. Well, I don't know, there should be twenty or thirty thousand. ”

Liang Xiao didn't ask again. He knew Jing Zhao. Jing Zhao is not a Han Chinese, Jing is the surname of the Chu State, Jing Zhao is a descendant of the late Chu, he followed Liu Ju before, and once fought in Huiji. Jing Zhao's second son, Jing Ping, is still his nominal junior brother. The situation in Minyue was different from that of South Vietnam, and the total number of troops in Minyue was less than 100,000. With Jing Zhao's identity, no matter how much Yu Shan trusts him, it is impossible to give him twenty or thirty thousand people.

Zhao Guang was too lazy to answer their questions at all, and was perfunctory at will.

Liang Xiao gave Zhao Yingqi a look. Zhao Yingqi understood, got up and arched his hand, and walked away. Liang Xiao also got up and walked to the door of the tent, where he stopped again. Zhao Guang turned his head and looked at him puzzled.

"What else does the prince have to say?"

Liang Xiao chuckled: "Your Highness, you may not know very well, Jing Zhao was once a subordinate of Liu Ju, the prince of Wu, or a defeated general of my subordinates. With that, he nodded lightly and turned to leave.

Zhao Guang was stunned for a long time. The face is a little ugly. He knew that Liang Xiao had fought in Huiji, but at that time, Liang Xiao was just an ordinary Lang official, and he was not qualified to lead the army at all. If Jing Zhao was defeated by his men at that time, it means that Jing Zhao's ability to use troops is really limited. If Liang Xiao helped Zhao Yingqi defeat Jing Zhao and the news reached Panyu, what would others think of him Zhao Guang?

Those people in Panyu won't listen to his explanation. I only know one very simple thing: he led an army of 20,000 and failed to defeat Jing Zhao in half a year, while Zhao Yingqi and Liang Xiao easily defeated Jing Zhao with only 500 horsemen. As soon as the two sides compared, the superiority was immediately apparent.

So what will be Lu Jia's reaction?

Zhao Guang sat up, his cheeks twitching uncontrollably, frustrated.

——

Liang Xiao caught up with Zhao Yingqi and returned to his camp. Zhao Yingqi also calmed down and was worried. As soon as he came, he had a stiff relationship with Zhao Guang, how will he get along in the future? Don't say anything else. Asking Zhao Guang to provide grain and grass is a big problem. The number of warriors was limited, but there were only five or six hundred people, and more than a thousand war horses were a large food eater, and the baggage they brought was far from enough.

Liang Xiao gave him a suggestion: immediately ask Zhao Guang for how much he wants. Send someone to the nearest Jieyang Order to allocate it, and solve the urgent need first; Then he asked Panyu for support and transported it by boat. The rainy season has passed, and merchant ships can go to sea. The requisition of merchant ships for transportation can completely solve these hundreds of people. The baggage problem of more than 1,000 war horses.

Zhao Ying obeyed his words.

Liang Xiao then touched on the key issue. Zhao Guang refused to provide any help, not even the most basic map, and this battle could only be self-reliant. The battle is expensive, not expensive, and it should take advantage of the fact that Jing Zhao still doesn't know that they are coming, and inflict heavy losses on the Minyue army as soon as possible. Take the lead. If it drags on for a long time, the Minyue scouts learn about the new cavalry and are prepared, and it will not be so easy to win.

Zhao Yingqi was worried. "Is five hundred horses enough?"

"It depends on how well it is used." Liang Xiao is very calm. He was a little worried, but he had come all the way. He was already somewhat sure. Nanyue was the Guangdong of later generations, and Minyue was Fujian of later generations, both of which were mountainous places. It was not easy to attack from the interior, but the coastline was relatively flat enough for cavalry to attack quickly.

What's more, the Minyue people were very unfamiliar with cavalry tactics and did not have any tactical preparations, so they had an opportunity to take advantage of them.

"The most urgent thing is to get the picture clear. Your Highness, it is difficult to check the terrain, and there is a certain danger, do you want to go? ”

"Is the prince going?"

"Of course I'm going. Listening to other people's reports is not as real as seeing it with your own eyes. ”

"Then I'll go too." Zhao Ying Qi said happily: "I invited the prince to come as a staff officer, and the prince went to check the terrain, so I naturally had to follow, so that I could steal the teacher and learn the arts." ”

Liang Xiao smiled and nodded in agreement.

——

Chang'an, the Son of Heaven walked slowly under the corridor with his hands behind his back, glancing in the direction of the court from time to time. The master father followed behind, his face was calm, but the corners of his mouth twitched from time to time, revealing a little nervousness.

The Son of Heaven is waiting for the news of the Chen sisters' flower production.

Pregnant in October, the sister flowers are in full bloom almost at the same time. The two have been in the delivery room for two days, and no news has come. It is about the heirs of the royal family, and the always calm Son of Heaven can't control his emotions, like a young man who has just become a father, constantly looking.

However, the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven after all, not an ordinary farmer, and there are too many problems that make him uneasy, not only the heirs, but also the great water in Shandong and the war in Minyue.

Neither of these things went well. Zheng and Ji Huang went for nearly two months, and the Yellow River broke and blocked, and several blockages failed, not only wasting a lot of materials, but also killing more than a dozen people. This reminded the Son of Heaven again of Prime Minister Tian Wei's original suggestion, and wondered if it was due to providence.

The war in Minyue was also not smooth, Wei Qingce rebelled against the Minyue general's conquest and went deep into the hinterland of Minyue, but there was no news of victory. It is said that there are often heavy rains in Minyue during this time, and hurricanes come every other day, Wei Qing is trapped in the mountains and forests, unable to get out, and victory is far away.

The situation in South Vietnam was no better. Yan An and Liang Xiao joined forces, but they still couldn't make the monarchs and ministers of Nanyue bow down, and the agreement on acceptance could not be reached for a long time, and the Son of Heaven was about to lose confidence. If it weren't for the pre-war experience of Minyue and the fact that the situation in Shandong was not optimistic, he might have sent Wang Hui to attack.

Several things are intertwined, and no matter who they are, there is a sense of anxiety. As a close minister of the Son of Heaven, the master father can clearly feel the anxiety in the heart of the Son of Heaven, and he is extremely careful in his words and deeds, for fear of being careless. He angered the Son of Heaven and suffered unjustified calamities.

Suddenly, the Son of Heaven raised his head and looked in the direction of the Jiaofang Palace.

A man came in a hurry, and unlike Lang Guan, he was holding the Hanjie in his hand.

The Son of Heaven was a little surprised. Look back at the Lord Father. The master father Yan was also stunned, holding the Han Festival, and was naturally the messenger of the envoy. However, when the envoy returns, he should first report to the Daxing Temple, and the Daxing Order will report to the Son of Heaven before he can enter the palace to see the driver. Why did this messenger enter the palace directly?

The master father turned his head and signaled, and a Lang official on duty rushed over, someone protected him in front of the Son of Heaven, and someone greeted the messenger. I saw Lang Guan coming up. The envoy seemed to understand something, slowed down his pace, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Chen Meigao has returned from an envoy, please see Your Majesty." ”

The master didn't hear it clearly, but the Son of Heaven heard it clearly, his expression changed, and then he was overjoyed. pushed away the Lang official who was guarding him and strode up to meet him.

"Young man. Is it really you? ”

Mei Gao rushed to the front and shook it to the end, but before he could speak, tears came out. "Your Majesty, it's the minister, the minister is back."

The Son of Heaven took two steps. He held up Mei Gao's hand and looked at it carefully. Mei Gao was dark and thin, and although he changed into Lang Guan's clothes, he still couldn't hide the wildness that came to him. His eyes were bright, even with tears in his eyes. You can still feel his toughness.

"Mei Gao, you are going...... Why is it so long, I'm still worried about you......"

Mei Gao smiled tearfully. "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, the minister has not only traveled all over Qiangzhong, but also to the west of the Green Ridge, so I have been there for a long time."

"You went to the west of Green Ridge?" The Son of Heaven was surprised and delighted. "Then did you go to the Yue Clan and Dawan?"

"Go, go." Mei Gao said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the minister has seen and heard a lot along the way, Rong Chen took a breath and slowly told His Majesty." ”

"Okay, okay, enter the temple and speak." The Son of Heaven said in a loud voice, pulling Mei Gao and walking towards the main hall. At this moment, Guo Sheren rushed from a distance, screaming all the way. "Your Majesty, it's born, Your Majesty, it's gone."

Tianzi raised his eyebrows, a little worried. "As the saying goes, disasters do not go alone, blessings do not come together, and Mei Gao returns safely......"

The Son of Heaven groaned, Guo Sheren ran to the front and smiled from ear to ear. "Your Majesty...... Raw. ”

"What was born? Say it! "The Son of Heaven slapped him angrily." What majesty gave birth, which lady gave birth, male or female? ”

Guo Sheren was a little carried away with joy. "Your Majesty, both ladies have been born, two boys, what a joy to make Zhang."

"Both are boys?!" The Son of Heaven shouted, his eyes widened.

Guo Sheren nodded again and again, once again confirming that what he said was true.

"Hahaha!" The Son of Heaven suddenly raised his hand, patted his forehead, and laughed loudly.

The master father couldn't help but laugh out loud. The Son of Heaven suddenly has two more sons, which is a great joy. Seeing this, although he didn't understand which lady it was, it was definitely a good thing that the Son of Heaven had two sons, and he hurriedly congratulated him.

"Quick, quick, go to Changle Palace to report the good news." Tianzi laughed a few times, and finally reacted and kicked Guo Sheren. Guo Sheren woke up like a dream, turned around and ran. The Son of Heaven is overjoyed. "Young children, it is the good news you have brought, you are my Angelo. Come on, tell me about the situation in the Western Regions, make an exception today, and the blessings will be double. ”

——

Almost at the same time, the Liang family was also jubilant, Li Rongqing gave birth to a fat child, and the Liang family added another ding.

Liang Yuan sat in the hall and was overjoyed.

Liu Ling also rushed back from Maoling's manor, and at this moment, he was sitting next to Liang Yuan, also smiling. For her, although Li Rongqing's identity is better than the moon, it is also unable to threaten her. Liang Xiao's heir to the title can only be her son, Li Rongqing is a concubine, and it is impossible for a concubine to inherit the title.

Moreover, she also knew that it was Liang Xiao's idea to accept Li Rongqing as a concubine, and Liang Xiao himself had no special feelings for Li Rongqing. In contrast, the moon is more favored than her.

So she can show the demeanor of a big woman.

Liang Yuan said happily: "Ling'er, your hour is almost here, don't go to the manor for the time being." It's easy to rest in the city, and it's easy to take care of it. ”

Liu Ling agreed with a smile. "Thank you for your concern."

"Xiao'er is not at home, thank you for your hard work." Liang Xiao stroked Liu Ling's hand and said with emotion: "Although I don't understand those big things, I know that Xiao'er doesn't read much and does things recklessly, if there is no smart woman like you to help, he will get into trouble sooner or later." However, after all, women are women, and they can't work as hard as men, so they have to take it easy. For us, having children is the big deal. ”

Liu Ling smiled: "Grandma is right, I don't want to bother so much." When my husband comes back, I will move back and accompany my mother every day. ”

"That's right." Liang Yuan was very satisfied. "By the way, is there any news from Xiao'er? Did the mission go well? ”

"Smooth." Liu Ling said lightly: "A few barbarians, can you be a man?" Auntie, don't worry, it's just that the distance is far, the news is not very convenient, and nothing else. ”

"I'm not worried about the barbarians, what can the barbarians do with my Xiao'er. I'm worried about ......" Liang Yuan lowered her voice and pointed in the direction of Weiyang Palace. "A companion is like a tiger, the greater the ability, the easier it is to attract jealousy. Your husband and wife are so capable, can the one in the palace rest assured? ”

Liu Ling chuckled and patted the back of Liang Yuan's hand. "Don't worry, it'll be fine. Although the Son of Heaven has the power of life and death, he wants to be a wise man. If you want to be a Mingjun, you can't help but have scruples. How can you kill people casually. By the way, Auntie, there is something I want to discuss with you. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Does my mother know about the big water in Shandong?"

Liang Yuan nodded. The Yellow River burst, and the matter of the big water in Shandong has been spreading, how can she not know. Two days ago, Tuhua'er sent her a message. "You say, will this water flow to Guangling?"

"I can't say, looking at the situation in front of you, if you can't block it all the time, Guangling will definitely be affected." Liu Ling sighed lightly: "Jiangnan is at war, Shandong is big, and the food supply of the imperial court may be tight." I want to donate some money and food to help His Majesty solve his urgent needs, I don't know ...... Grandma"

Liang Yuan understood. "You're Xiao'er buying a way out, right?"

Liu Ling pondered for a moment, feeling that although Liang Yuan's words were not very beautiful, the meaning was roughly the same. There was a disaster in Shandong, and the imperial court was in a hurry, so he donated money and food, naturally wanting to give a good impression to the Son of Heaven. "Mother is right."

"In that case, then what's there to be reluctant to." Liang Yuan waved her hand and said generously: "I said that you entered the door, and you will be in charge of this home." If you think you should donate, then don't don't worry too much about me, it's a big deal to save two mouthfuls, as long as you don't starve your children. ”

Liu Ling smiled and bowed. "Thank you, Auntie. Mother can rest assured, with the background of my Liang family, how can I be hungry. I want to donate the income of my husband and my food estate, and then use my daughter to buy cattle and sheep in the northwest and transport them to the disaster area in Shandong. The meat is edible, the skin can shelter from the cold, and it should be able to exert some strength. However, in the name of my mother, I want to donate to Guangling Kingdom, especially the neighbors in Qingyunli, you see, okay? ”

Liang Yuan nodded again and again. "You kid, you've thought too much. What's wrong with this, this is to accumulate yin virtue for me. It's okay, of course, when she lived in Qingyunli, Xiao'er harmed them a lot, and now she helps them, which can be regarded as paying off the debt. ”——
