Jiang Xue dusted off the dust on her sleeves, the environment in this prison is difficult, and she is as noble and arrogant as a hundred miles to live with, and she can really bend and stretch in order to survive.

"Naturally not, I'm here to inform you, three days later, I will personally escort you back to Yueguo, I'm a hot-tempered person, I'm only waiting for you at the border for ten days, and I won't see the figure of the eighth prince leading the team at that time, and please prepare for the war."

Baili Tongyan lowered his head, his broken hair scattered in front of him, and he couldn't see what look in his eyes clearly, Jiang Xue took a few steps forward and was only an inch away from Baili Tongyan, and Baili Tongyan narrowed his eyes.

Jiang Xue showed a mysterious smile, raised his hand to straighten Baili Tong's messy clothes, and his slender nails hurt Baili Tongyan, Baili Tongyan frowned and didn't make a sound, he didn't know what Jiang Xue meant by this.

"Eighth prince, I hope that Da Zhou and Yue Guo will have nothing to do with each other from now on."

Jiang Xue turned around and walked out of the prison, and she also had to go to meet Zhou Xinghuai and discuss with him how to deal with the prisoners of war in Vietnam.

"Your Majesty, the sixth princess asks to see you."

"Xuan."

Zhou Xinghuai drove away the beauty on his knees, the beauty's eyes were full of tears, the weak willow Fufeng's posture was as soft as boneless, it looked so pitiful, Zhou Xinghuai was ruthless and drove the person out.

Zhou Xinghuai's original intention was not to let Jiang Xue see it, but by coincidence, Jiang Xue was meeting this beauty when she entered the hall, and was glanced at for no reason, Jiang Xue was confused, and she suddenly realized when she saw Zhou Xinghuai's embarrassing appearance.

It turned out that her sudden request to see her delayed the opportunity for people to fly on the branches and become phoenixes, can people not hate her?

Jiang Xue couldn't remember how many concubines Zhou Xinghuai had in the harem, and she couldn't recognize all of them, so except for those who had children, Jiang Xue couldn't recognize them.

"Cher is here, hurry, sit."

Zhou Xinghuai was a little unreasonably ashamed in the face of this daughter, Concubine Chen died early, he indulged Jiang Xue arrogantly, and raised her into a high-flying and domineering character, thinking that she was just a princess who could play with her temper, but she didn't expect Jiang Xue to become a general who could lead troops to fight.

Jiang Xue sat down as she said, and the atmosphere between the father and daughter became a little awkward and strangely silent, in the past, she and Zhou Xinghuai always had endless words, and they could always make Zhou Xinghuai laugh.

Jiang Xue can't do it now, her feelings for Zhou Xinghuai are a little complicated.

On the one hand, Zhou Xinghuai doted on her very much, no matter how unreasonable the request was, he agreed to it, and even let another daughter marry her in order to keep her by his side.

For Jiang Xue, Zhou Xinghuai is a loving father, and she is the little princess he holds in the palm of his hand to take care of, everyone in this world is qualified to hate Zhou Xinghuai, but she Jiang Xue does not.

On the one hand, Zhou Xinghuai was mainly responsible for the fall of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if it weren't for his unwillingness to govern, let the civil officials seize power, overly underestimate the military attachés, and act extravagantly, so that the nobles and the common people would imitate and follow.

Blindly cowardly and afraid of things advocated peace, constantly ceded land and paid compensation to marry the princess, and then increased taxes to the people to make up for the deficit in the treasury, so that the reputation of the Great Zhou as weak and bullying spread to the Tiefu Ministry, which attracted the Tiefu Ministry's greed for the rich terrain of the Great Zhou and raised troops to attack, and the Great Zhou would not die so quickly.

But the Great Zhou has rotted from the roots, and it is only a matter of time before it will perish, not the Tiefu Ministry, but also the Yinfu Ministry, and Zhou Xinghuai is just a catalyst.

There is no absolute black and white in the world, and there is no absolute right and wrong, so Jiang Xue can't say how she feels when facing Zhou Xinghuai.

Anyway, if Jiang Xue is made to be innocent of Zhou Xinghuai, it will be difficult for her to do it.

Jiang Xue hesitated again and again, but still chose to speak: "Father, I came to discuss with you about the prisoners of war in Vietnam. ”

Zhou Xinghuai breathed a sigh of relief, the atmosphere just now was too heavy, and he was almost about to talk to Jiang Xue about the beauty.

"If there is anything to discuss, cut it all down, let them know that I am not easy to mess with!"

Zhou Xinghuai shook his head, and the tassel bead chain on the crown of his hair swayed, it was not difficult to see that the master was proud, and finally had a chance to show his majesty, how could Zhou Xinghuai give up.

Jiang Xue shook her head slightly, stood up and knelt down, and said to Zhou Xinghuai in a straight voice: "My daughter thinks it's inappropriate, these more than 4,000 people are a lot of force, if they can be used by my Great Zhou, it is better than killing them with a knife." ”

"With? How to use it? Those who are not of my race must have different hearts, aren't you afraid that these Vietnamese will rebel? ”

Zhou Xinghuai frowned, disagreeing with Jiang Xue's proposal, if these people from Yue Guo were kept, Zhou Xinghuai was only afraid that one day he would become a scourge.

"Don't be anxious, and listen to your daughter." Jiang Xue bowed, and then said unhurriedly: "I am rich in minerals, which is a very important source of financial resources, but due to the difficult conditions of the production area, not many people can hold on." ”

"The Yue people are stronger than my Zhou people, if they are coolies, wouldn't it be beautiful to be supervised by our Zhou people?"

"If you are willing, you will bring shackles made of fine iron and send them to various mines, if you are not willing to become a coolie, you can be executed on the spot, this is just a daughter's foolish opinion, how to deal with these prisoners of war, still need the father to decide."

After Jiang Xue finished speaking, she fell to the ground, waiting for Zhou Xinghuai's response, and the sound of steady footsteps came, and Zhou Xinghuai personally helped Jiang Xue up.

Jiang Xue raised her eyes to look at Zhou Xinghuai, Zhou Xinghuai was also staring at her, and the emperor's sharp gaze made Jiang Xue a little nervous.

Suddenly, Zhou Xinghuai patted Jiang Xue's shoulder, looking very pleased: "Wu'er has grown up, she is not a little girl who only knew how to stomp her feet and be coquettish before, she is so resourceful, like your mother Concubine Chen." ”

"If she knows underground, she will be very pleased to see that you are so good."

"Well, my father agrees, and this matter will be left to you."

Jiang Xue hurriedly saluted and thanked the emperor, but Zhou Xinghuai stopped her: "I have returned so many courtesies to my father, if I continue like this, my father will feel that I will not know you anymore." ”

Jiang Xue insisted on kneeling, and slammed her head on the ground and said: "My daughter still has a reluctant request, and I hope that my father will approve it." ”

Zhou Xinghuai was a little surprised, Jiang Xue looked so serious, he had never seen it before, Zhou Xinghuai unconsciously became serious: "What's the matter?" Let's hear it. ”

"This time, if my daughter can bring back all the wealth and silk provided by the Yue Kingdom, I implore my father to grant half of it to the military camp."

Zhou Xinghuai turned the jade dragon-shaped wrench on his thumb, and was silent for a long time before asking, "Why?" We have already won this war, is it a waste to allocate money to the barracks? ”

"And the treasury is empty, if we can make up for it with this silver, our court's finances will be looser."

Jiang Xue kowtowed again before replying: "My father's words are wrong, this battle is really a fluke, the Yue country has traveled a long distance, and the Vietnamese army has not yet recovered its physical strength to fight, but the soldiers of our dynasty have tried their best to win." ”

"This time it's the Yue Kingdom, if we attack our dynasty after the armies of other countries are rested in the future, my father thinks that with my Great Zhou's heavy literature and light military force, what are our chances of winning?"

"I can understand that my father values the style of literati and appreciates their talents, but my father, the foundation of a country's foothold is its strong strength, and with the strength to rely on, elegance and vulgarity are the icing on the cake."

"If the enemy is present, does my father expect those weak literati to drink back the enemy's millions of soldiers?"

"Presumptuous! How did you talk to your father! ”

Although Zhou Xinghuai loves Jiang Xue, the dignity of the emperor is also very important, and when he heard Jiang Xue questioning his long-standing actions, his anger couldn't help but rise to the sky.

Jiang Xue slammed her head on the floor tiles, and her pleading voice echoed in the hall: "What my daughter said is for my Da Zhou, and I beg my father to grant permission!" ”

Zhou Xinghuai was distressed when he heard the sound of Jiang Xue's kowtowing, he quickly pulled up this solid-eyed daughter, and saw that Jiang Xue's forehead became red and swollen, and his anger dissipated instantly, leaving only his eyes full of distress.

"You kid, relying on your father's love for you, you just want to coerce me, you just came back from the battlefield, how can you make your father bear it!"

"As for what you said, let me think about it in two days and then give you an answer."

Jiang Xue wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Zhou Xinghuai: "Father will think about it, you still have to be busy with prisoners of war, go." ”

Anyway, how could people's concepts change at one time, Jiang Xue bowed and retired, and went to Si Qixiu to deal with the prisoners of war.

"How's your injury?"

Seeing that Jiang Xue was coming, Si Qi Xiu hurriedly stepped forward, Jiang Xue was in a bad mood, and only nodded: "It's just a small injury, it's much better." ”

Seeing that Jiang Xue's face was not good-looking, Si Qixiu was very knowledgeable and didn't say much, and helped Jiang Xue count the Vietnamese prisoners of war on the school grounds.

"There are two ways to put it in front of you, first, to stay in my Great Zhou as a coolie to atone for the mistakes you have committed, and second, to make a decision."

Jiang Xue's sonorous voice spread throughout the school field, and the Vietnamese prisoners of war were naturally unwilling, they protested loudly despite the suppression of the soldiers, and Jiang Xue did not say anything to stop it, but quietly observed.

Jiang Xue stretched out her hand and ordered a few of the most ferocious prisoners of war to be escorted to the execution table, killing chickens and monkeys, and rolling around the execution table with bloody heads a few times, and the prisoners of war who were not angry just now were instantly silenced.

People, they all have a herd mentality, a protest, a group of people follow the protest, no one is willing to be the first to bow their heads, as a traitor who is greedy for life and afraid of death in the eyes of the big guys.

When witnessing what the Zhou people said, the undetermined prisoner of war finally shouted that he was willing to do coolies, and only begged to spare his life, and there was a second one.

In the end, fifty-two Vietnamese prisoners of war were executed, and the rest were all tattooed on their faces, and they became coolies in the Great Zhou Dynasty alive and were sent to major mines.

Jiang Xue's words and ruthlessness once again shocked the Great Zhou soldiers, they admired Jiang Xue in their hearts, if she hadn't given all her support to the Great Zhou soldiers to stand up and teach them how to buy armor as weapons.

They will never win this battle with Yueguo.
