As soon as April passed, it was May, and news came from the north that Chen Ronghua gave birth to a baby boy in Xichen, and Chen Ronghua was promoted to the third level and was named a contour.

Shen Wan gently stroked her bulging four-month-old belly, just now the imperial doctor came to check the pulse, saying that the child is very healthy, and when he is five months old, he will be able to distinguish whether it is a man or a woman.

Xiao Wumian also once asked her, "Do you want this child to be a boy or a girl?" ”

Shen Wan smiled and said: "The ancients said, 'Don't be happy when you give birth to a man, don't be sad when you give birth to a girl, you don't see it, Wei Zifu dominates the world,' so I don't care if it's a man or a woman!" ”

Xiao Wumian said frankly: "I really hope that Your Highness will have a male body in this birth, so that you can return to the northern kingdom to be the emperor!" ”

Shen Wan smiled and said, "Why do you still think that this child is Chu Xichen's?" ”

Xiao Wumian was taken aback and asked, "Isn't it!" ”

Shen Wan smiled and said, "This child is now four months old, four months ago, I was beaten into the cold palace by Chu Xichen, and he hasn't seen me for a long time...... So, this kid doesn't cherish dust! ”

"That'...... This kid is ......" Xiao Wumian was speechless in surprise.

Shen Wan touched her stomach and said, "No matter who this kid is, he is always my flesh and blood, and ...... He is also surnamed Chu! ”

Xiao Wumian was silent, only Shen Wan was left in the Xiao family, no matter what her child's surname was? In the future, it must be changed to the surname Xiao.

May seems to pass very quickly, and June this year is very hot, at the end of June, the imperial doctor checked Shen Wan's pulse and confirmed that she was pregnant with a male fetus.

On the same day, Xiao Wumian received a war letter from the northern and western kingdoms, and each side raised 100,000 troops to attack.

"How many troops do we have!" Shen Wan frowned and asked.

"No more, no less, just 100,000!" Xiao Wumian replied: "Our country is only a million people, far less than the two northwest countries, they have only 100,000 sailors, more than one million cavalry and infantry, in addition to the sailors coming, I also found out the news, in the western battlefield, the two northwest countries have also begun to prepare for battle!" ”

Shen Wanqi said: "In this way, the two countries in the northwest not only sent their own sailors to come, but they also did not slack off, and they also opened the battlefield in the rear!" ”

"Exactly!"

Shen Wan said in a low voice: "No wonder there are only 100,000 sailors!" ”

Xiao Wumian said: "In this way, our chances of winning are much greater!" ”

Shen Wan nodded, and said: "On the day of the war, I can't personally supervise the war, I will wait for your news in the palace!" She looked at her abdomen gently, and it was five months old, and the bulge was becoming more and more obvious.

Xiao Wumian also said softly: "Don't worry, you wait in the Zichen Palace, if there is any news, I will send people to send people back from the battlefield without stopping!" ”

Shen Wan smiled at him, waiting for the big battle to strike.

That day soon came, and the sailors of the two northwestern countries had stopped on the river, and the southern country did not take the lead in firing their cannons, and the western country was worried that the southern country would really bow down after the northern country went ashore, so before reaching the designated destination, they were anxious to take the lead in shooting at the southern land.

Xiao Wumian sneered and commanded the vanguard to sail to the river to fight against the Western Kingdom.

The general of the northern kingdom saw that they were fighting fiercely, and the adjutant general asked: "My lord, they are fighting, do you want to fight, which one to fight!" ”

The general pondered for a long time, and said: "I heard that as soon as we go ashore, the princess of the southern kingdom will bow down with her subjects and wealth, let's not act rashly for the time being, first deal with the group of dog thieves in the western country, hmph, the western region has begun to fight, fight them, there is nothing wrong!" ”

"Yes!"

After a fierce battle, the Western Fleet suffered the most serious damage, so it had to withdraw its troops and retreat to two kilometers of the coastline.

Shen Wan sat in the hall and received the message of victory in the first battle, and a smile appeared on her lips.

As night fell, the river was at high tide, and the deputy general of the northern kingdom asked the general: "Looking at the posture of the southern country, it seems that we are not allowed to go ashore!" ”

The general thought for a while and said: "Don't be in a hurry first, it's not too late to repel the group of dog thieves in the west, just to give the brothers on the battlefield in the west a long momentum, if the south country lets us land now, I'm afraid that those people in the west will take advantage of the situation!" ”

"Subordinates understood!" The adjutant nodded, and said: "The tide is high, some soldiers are uncomfortable, or seasick, whether to connect the bow and stern with a deck, so as to avoid ......"

"No!" The general shouted.

"Why not, didn't the general say ......"

"It is indispensable to defend against people, although the southern country has released such words, and has not started a war against us so far, but what if they regret it? Iron cable boat, it's summer, the southeast wind is blowing, we are at the downwind, in case the other party attacks with fire, do you want us to be defeated like the Chibi Cao army? ”

"Yes, yes, subordinates know their mistakes!"

At midnight, the western fleet suddenly attacked, but the target of the attack was not the southern country, but the northern fleet, which hurriedly met the battle, while the southern country did not move.

This annoyed the northern fleet, which prepared to attack the southern after daybreak.

The fleets of the two northwestern countries fought each other until dawn, and both sides were injured and exhausted, but just when they were about to cease fighting and rectify, the south suddenly sent a fleet to attack the western fleet, and the north thought that the south was helping itself, so they spared no effort to attack the western fleet.

The Western fleet suffered a crushing defeat, losing more than a dozen ships and suffering countless casualties.

Seeing that the western fleet could only flee in the wilderness, the southern country withdrew its troops and returned to the port.

By noon on the second day, the western kingdom was defeated, and the northern kingdom lost four warships and the southern kingdom lost two warships.

The news reached Shen Wan's hands, and secretly sighed that Xiao Wumian was really a rare talent, what he was in charge of was nothing more than a small country, if he had the opportunity to take charge of a big country, he would definitely be a generation of heroes.

In the evening, news came again that the Western Kingdom had retreated.

Shen Wan smiled faintly, so she retreated, but it really didn't look like Ye Cangqiong's style?

Sure enough, after a while, Xiao Wumian sent someone to send the news, it turned out that on the battlefield in the west, the west country was also losing and retreating, so Ye Cangqiong had no intention of fighting, and wanted to end the battle here hastily, so as to prepare for the west with all his heart.

Shen Wan sneered: "When did Ye Cangqiong become so useless!" He threw the battle report into the furnace and burned it.

By the third day, the southern kingdom had torn its face with the northern kingdom and fought against each other.

Without the hindrance of the western countries, the strength of the north and the south was equal, and the war was fought for a long time.

After several days of fighting, the two sides refused to give in to each other, and the damage became more and more serious.

Shen Wan was uneasy, worried about the battle report ahead, even if she sat upright in the Zichen Palace, she didn't dare to take it lightly, but when the imperial doctor came to ask for the pulse, she told her not to worry too much, this is not good for the fetus, so, she didn't dare to think too much, so she had to sit and wait.

Until one afternoon, she had just drunk a bowl of mung bean soup to relieve the heat, and was about to take a nap, when Xiao Wumian came to report an urgent report, she opened it and looked, and suddenly felt a little dizzy, it turned out that Chu Xichen actually came in person, and the western warship went and returned, and at this time he was fighting against the south with Chu Xichen.
