Chapter Twenty-Four: Welcoming the Envoys Back to the Court

Yan Xuanfeng looked at Jian Cen Shu in front of him and asked, "Why are you the only one, Si Xuan?" ”

He hurriedly said: "The minister came one step ahead of him, and his men and horses should be behind at this time, not far away." ”

"Good!"

Everyone waited outside the city gate for about half an hour, and then waited for the fourth grade Taichang Shaoqing Si Wei.

Immediately welcome the two envoys to the palace. The palace originally set up a homecoming banquet for the two, but both of them refused, and they were anxious to inform Yan Xuanfeng of the results of this envoy to Bai Shenguo and Yu Minguo.

Therefore, Yan Xuanfeng ordered the banquet to be withdrawn, and took Wen Ziyu, Xuan Ting, Qiansang, Jian Censhu and Si Wei into the imperial study to discuss matters.

When he entered the door, Qiansang had no intention of walking with Xuan Ting, and when he gave in, Xuanting smiled and said: "Shi Shenshu, that kid is a rare general, Qiansang, you sent such a person to our army, if you have the opportunity, this general will definitely thank you well!" ”

She was slightly stunned, but Xuan Ting laughed and patted her on the shoulder, and walked in first.

When he reacted, he only saw his broad back, his eyebrows crooked, and a smile crossed his face.

"What are you thinking?" Wen Ziyu, who stepped forward, saw her standing at the door in a daze, so she asked.

She subconsciously glanced at him, then shook her head with a smile and said, "It's nothing." Feeling that his gaze did not take his eyes off her face because of her answer, he stared at him, and said, "Actually, I want to say that Xuan Ting is not bad!" ”

"He's always been nice, except for a bit of a rectum sometimes," he laughs. ”

After speaking, the two of them laughed and walked into the imperial study together.

Jian Cen Sheng's envoy was Bai Shenguo, and Si Xuan's envoy was Yu Minguo. From the mouths of the two, they learned that Bai Shenguo and Yu Minguo had begun to recruit and train troops together, and decided to join forces to attack Yanling.

Before the mission, the goal of the two was not only to persuade the two countries to give up attacking the Yanling Kingdom, but also to reconcile with Bai Shenguo and Yu Minguo. However, now the kings of the two countries do not pay attention to the spirit of words at all, they have not even achieved the most basic goals, and they are deeply guilty of the grace of God.

Yan Xuanfeng knew that this would be the case, and did not blame the two.

There was a deep sorrow between his eyebrows, he looked at her and asked, "Assan, do you have a way now?" ”

"Asa-san?" Jian Cen Sheng and Si Xuan said her name in unison, glanced at each other, and then looked at her with condensed eyes, Si Xuan said first: "You are Qiansang?" The emperor personally invited from Xianyi Valley and was named a female military division? ”

"Exactly!" There was a heroic spirit between her eyebrows that was not a man, and she looked at Si Wei and said steadily.

Si Wei looked her up and down, only to feel that she had an extraordinary temperament, steady and heroic, her eyes were bright and wise, and her eyes were charming. His gaze finally stayed on her face, and he was puzzled: "Why does the military advisor wear a veil and not show his true face?" ”

She raised her eyebrows slightly, then raised her eyes and said, "This veil has been worn since I left the valley and has never been taken off." He glanced at Yan Xuanfeng, and said: "The purpose of my coming out of the valley is to help the emperor sit firmly on the dragon chair of the Yan Ling Kingdom, and the face under the veil is not worth mentioning." ”

Si Wei stepped forward and said: "I heard that the military advisor was named the lord of Wuyi County by the emperor, and he will marry to the Yanwang Mansion in the near future, but is there such a thing?" ”

She knew his question wouldn't be that simple, and answered this one, and the next. In this world, there are so many curious people, if she everyone explains it, wouldn't she be exhausted to death.

Then he said: "This matter is complicated, if Shaoqing wants to know the reason, just ask Wen Gongzi, and he will tell you everything." ”

Wen Ziyu, who was standing on the side, was thinking about how to divert Jian Cen Sheng and Si Xuan's attention from Qiansang, and when he heard this, he immediately stepped forward and said to Si Xuan: "Brother Si Xuan, I know the answers to a lot of questions in your heart, and ask me privately." Right now, the emperor is asking the county lord about state affairs, let's focus on state affairs! ”

"Good, good!" Si Xuan smiled heartily, then looked at Yan Xuanfeng, bowed slightly, respectfully mixed with apologies, and said: "Your Majesty, it is the minister's curiosity that is too strong, so he mistook the right thing." ”

"It's okay!" He said, "Let's first listen to what Asa-san has to say about the upcoming war. ”

She had been pondering for a long time, and then said slowly: "First, immediately recruit troops and train new soldiers. Second, immediately send elite troops to the border to firmly guard the border, and once there is any change in the border, we must know the news as soon as possible. The third ...... "This point needs to be done by her in person, looking at everyone, she said: "The third is to persuade Emperor Yan to agree to cooperate with the emperor and send troops to fight." As far as I know, his soldiers and horses are all brave and good at fighting, and if he can help us, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Yan Xuanfeng said with a solemn face: "The first two I protect Xuan Ting to do it, as long as the third one, it will depend on you." ”

"This is what I should do," she said. Looking at Si Xuan and Jian Cen Sheng, his expressions were serious, and he said: "The two of you have been in Bai Shenguo and Yu Republic for a year, and you must have some understanding of the customs and customs of the two countries, so please write them on a blank piece of paper and hand them over to me." ”

Jian Cen Sheng immediately said: "I understand, knowing yourself and knowing your opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles." Through the customs and customs of a country, we can understand the spiritual outlook and culture of the people of this country, so that they can be used on the battlefield and will be invincible. ”

"Yes!"

Looking at Jian Cen Sheng and Si Xuan, his eyes were placed between the two, and he said, "This time to Bai Shenguo and Yu Minguo, have you observed the most commonly used weapons by soldiers in the two countries?" ”

"The weapons commonly used by the soldiers of the White Shenguo were bows, spears, and swords, and the large weapons were thunderbolts and flame balls. I once saw the launch of the Thunderbolt Flame Ball at the military training office of Bai Shenguo, and it was extremely powerful. Jian Cen Sheng said.

"The weapons commonly used by soldiers in the Yu Republic of China are spears, shields, bows, crossbows, broadswords and swords, and there are no large weapons, but there is a hidden weapon called "sleeve arrow", which is a skill that everyone must learn after joining the army. Hidden weapons make people unguardable, and it is easy to subdue the enemy on the battlefield. ”

"Good!" Glancing at Xuan Ting, she said steadily: "As far as I know, the weapons commonly used in our army are bows and arrows, broadswords, long swords and long sticks. Looking at Yan Xuanfeng, he said: "My suggestion is to abandon the long stick, after all, its combat ability is too poor, on the battlefield, the enemy slashes over, and the long stick becomes two." ”

Yan Xuanfeng pondered slightly, then looked at Xuan Ting, and said, "What do you think of this proposal?" ”

"The minister thinks it is feasible. Bai Shenguo and Yu Minguo had also used long sticks to fight earlier, and after developing weapons that were more suitable for battlefield combat, they abandoned long sticks. Speaking of which, he had a concern: "The key is that we have very few types of weapons, so if we abandon the long stick, then what will replace the long stick?" ”

What she was waiting for was this question: "Bai Shenguo and Yu Minguo have invented new weapons one after another, why can't I develop new weapons in my words?" ”

Her proposal was so bold that no one had ever mentioned it before.

Of the five people in the room, three people except her and Yan Xuanfeng looked at each other a few times, and no one spoke for a while.

After thinking deeply, Yan Xuanfeng said: "Although Qiansang's proposal is bold, it is not impossible to take, Bai Shenguo and Yu Minguo have been strengthening themselves, whether it is from the economy, or from the army's combat capabilities and hardware facilities and weapons on the battlefield, they have been breaking through, and breaking through. We can't afford to stand still forever. ”

"But it takes time to develop weapons, and we can't be sure that we will be able to develop new weapons before the war begins." Xuan Ting, who has a straight intestine, also thinks hard about something, and after thinking about it for a long time, he expresses his concerns.
