Qian's expression was slightly condensed, and he sighed secretly, but he didn't feel too surprised.

Although Qin Xufei has returned to Qin and won several battles, he is only a lone army after all, and he does not have enough deterrent power to make the armies of various countries stagnate. In fact, even he himself can't be completely sure that Qin Xufei can really be strong enough to defeat the armies of the four countries with the strength of one person in the face of disadvantage and adversity.

Now that several other countries are attacking cities and plundering land, the Yan army has been trapped in the border pass, and the pressure Yan Rin is facing can be imagined. And he never thought that Yan Rin would make a decision based on his feelings and trust in him alone, without considering anything else, when he was thinking about such a military event.

A person who would indulge his personal feelings like that is not a qualified monarch.

Therefore, after talking to Yan Rin about the Qin State, he raised the possibility that Qin Xu would fly back to the Qin State, but he did not try to use his prestige and position to exert influence on Yan Rin. Since he didn't do anything at all, Yan Rin finally rejected his opinion, and it was a matter of course.

Yan Rin saw that Rong Qian was silent, but he was apprehensive in his heart, and said in a low voice: "No matter what, I still want to fight this battle." At the very least, we can use this to train our troops well. The army of Yan has not gone through a major war for many years, seeing that the old people in the soldiers are gone, and the new people have no experience, if they continue to enjoy peace like this, within ten years, there will be no army capable of fighting in Yan Kingdom. ”

Rong Qian's expression moved slightly.

He didn't expect that Yan Rin would have such painstaking thoughts. If you don't care too much about the gains and losses, from the perspective of polishing the army alone, this battle may not be wrong.

"Moreover, no matter how strong Qin Xufei is, if we are in the Yan Kingdom, we don't even have the courage to fight. Where is the morale of the army? Lieutenant soldiers, will they still respect me as a monarch? What qualifications does the imperial court have to command the world? ”

Rong Qian smiled: "Your Majesty, you are the monarch." It is your right to make decisions on militaristic matters. Your Majesty doesn't have to explain anything to me. ”

Yan Rin fell silent. Since he woke up from being pressed by Rong Qian just now, the two of them had such an unusually intimate behavior. Although he didn't mean it, the atmosphere of getting along with each other was far more relaxed than usual, at least when Rong Qian called him, he unconsciously used a series of "you" words, even if he occasionally said "emperor" later, it was a little banter.

At that time, I didn't really think that there was anything special about such a statement, but now the topic has turned to state affairs. When Rong Qian, as in the old days, smiled calmly and called him "Your Majesty" again, although those care and tolerance were still the same, the initial intimacy and ease still faded away.

Yan Rin felt a little sad in her heart, but she didn't know how to regain the ease and leisure she had just had. After a while, he said, "I'm not brave and ruthless. During this period of time, I urgently checked all the information I could find about Qin Xufei's battle case, and found Changqing, as well as some generals in Beijing to study it together. Qin Xufei is extremely brave. He likes to use strange soldiers, often riding fast horses with light horses, lightning rushes, attacking the enemy unprepared, and then disintegrating the enemy with an incomparably strong offensive. But this tactic. If you meet a general who fights steadily and never takes risks, it is difficult to please him. ”

Rong Qian smiled. Said happily: "The emperor also knows the art of war well. ”

Yan Rin didn't feel embarrassed: "I don't dare to say that it is a soldier, it's just that Changqing and several generals came to a conclusion after looking through the information of the mountains in the palace." The direction of our Yan State's attack is exactly the opposite direction of Qin Xufei's coming from Chu State, Qin Xufei and Chen Jun have been entangled several times, and then they have clashed with Wu Wei and the two countries, at least for a short time, they can't take care of us. We take this opportunity to attack and plunder as much as we can......"

He sighed and said: "I gave an order, this time I will not be greedy for merit, I will not seek speed, I just hold the strategy of training with soldiers, and let our soldiers increase their combat experience with the pus-filled soldiers under King Qin." Every step must be steady, not divided, not allowed to advance lightly, and not to give the enemy every chance to break through. Every time you go down to the city, you must go all out to build it and then slowly advance, in case you encounter Qin Xufei's enclave army, stick to the city, only when the military strength is more than three times that of Qin Xufei's army, you can go out of the city to fight head-on, and you must be ready to retreat at any time, once the Qin army is defeated and fled, you can't pursue it too much, so as not to fall into the ......"

Listening to Yan Rin's words, Rong Qian knew that he was not seeking merit, but seeking no fault. If this is really the case, gathering large armies everywhere, fighting according to the city at all times, not advancing lightly, and not greedy for merit, then in addition to the hard-fought war of attrition, it is not easy to rely on strange tactics to get cheap.

It's just that in this way, the Yan army will only temporarily occupy some cities at most, and search these cities, and it is too difficult to shake the Qin State from the root.

Alas, Yan Rin can attach so much importance to Qin Xufei's ability, suppress his ambition and greed, and use this tactic that seems to be extremely cowardly, but he also has a lot of self-control.

Rong Qian nodded and said, "This kind of play can be regarded as grasping Qin Xufei's death hole." Although this person has twelve points of ability on the battlefield, he has a great weakness, that is, he cherishes his soldiers too much. This is a big taboo for generals. Even if he can fight against our Yan army in the end, as long as our army fights steadily and has an advantage in military strength, no matter how brave he is, the loss of patronizing and thinking about the fight is enough to make him hesitate. ”

He looked at Yan Rin with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't know what the soldiers say, in fact, with several times the army, it is the right way to press it over." To put it bluntly, what kind of trickery is used? If you can fight more and fight less, what is the reason not to do it?

Yan Rin heard him say that the highest art of war was that there were more people and fewer people, and he couldn't help but smile slightly.

Seeing that Yan Rin's expression was finally not so heavy, Rong Qian sighed: "Your Majesty is naturally thoughtful, but the battle ahead may not be satisfactory." ”

Yan Rin nodded: "I've been worrying about this as well. ”

To put it bluntly, don't be greedy, don't rush forward, fight steadily, and everyone knows this truth, but throughout the ages, there are still so many heroes who were ambushed and defeated. It's not that people's hearts are easy to move, and when they really face all kinds of temptations, who can restrain themselves? Victory is clearly in sight, who can still bear to take it step by step?

The generals in the army are not meritorious. It's just that the emperor confessed solemnly, and when he really arrived on the battlefield, after a few victories, who still remembers so much.

If Qin Xufei can properly create the situation, he will lure him......

Yan Rin said while thinking, "So I want to send Changqing to reward the three armies." Then let him go with the army. In normal times, do not interfere in military affairs, but if you find that the generals are eager to make meritorious service and march into the army, I will show my secret decree and take over the post of supervising the army. He has been in the army for many years, his prestige is extremely high, and he is the closest and most trusted by me, and he will come forward. When is the most appropriate. ”

Rong Qian smiled: "Your Majesty is not worried about Changqing, he is also eager to make meritorious service in the end?" ”

Yan Rin said with a smile: "Changqing has always been steady, and his status in the army is already extremely high, and he doesn't need to use merit to advance his body, plus he is the closest to Rong Xiang, I know that Rong Xiang you value Qin Xufei very much." Then he definitely didn't dare to underestimate this person, he should be the most trustworthy at this time, and I think Rong Xiang will always help me make things as safe as possible. ”

Rong Qian looked at him with a smile in his heart. I had to sigh: "That's it, let him leave Beijing and come to my side to get together, I haven't talked to him about the art of war for many years." ”

Yan Rin said happily: "If you say this, I will have three more points of confidence." In this battle, even if he can't win a big victory, he won't let Qin Xufei take advantage. ”

Rong Qian only secretly smiled bitterly. Alas. Now all he can do is use his brain and mouth......

He shook his head, hurriedly retracted his scattered thoughts, and asked, "Your Majesty is worried about this matter today?" ”

Yan Rin's expression darkened, and after a while, Fang said: "I told Lechang about the matter today, I knew that she would be in pain and sadness, but from the beginning of planning this matter until now, I have never regretted it, hesitated, I never thought about giving up this opportunity for her, I ......"

His tone grew irritated and his expression became sad.

Rong Qian sighed. In this matter, he couldn't persuade or comfort, he couldn't say that Yan Rin was right, and he couldn't say that Yan Rin was wrong. When the responsibilities of the husband and the responsibility of the monarch contradict each other, the more sincere the person, the deeper the love between the husband and wife, and the more suffering they will suffer.

"Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory, she is also a poor person, you should try to treat her better in the future." Rong Qian was annoyed that his persuasion was so pale and weak.

It's really not a good feeling to find out that you can't actually provide any real help to Yan Rin's troubles.

Yan Rin chuckled, a little desolate: "I will naturally try my best to treat her well, and then treat her well after sacrificing and insulting her for the sake of the country?" Appearance, am I not a hypocrite? ”

Alas, it is difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs, but this is still an emperor who drills his own horns.

Rong Qian rolled his eyes at the sky, didn't bother to comfort him softly, stretched out his hand to pat him, and said with a smile: "After returning to the palace, carefully look through the history of the emperors and concubines of the four seas, and see how those monarchs get along with their wives, and how they make trade-offs when they encounter similar things, and then, you will find that you are not better than not knowing, compared with them, you are a love saint, and you are the best husband in the world." ”

Even if he was in a bad mood and let Rong Qian make such a joke, Yan Rin couldn't help but smile, but he was very emotional in his heart: "Rong Xiang, you haven't joked with me like this for a long time." ”

Rong Qian glanced at him: "Jokes are jokes, my emperor, look at what time it is?" ”

Yan Rin was only stunned, and immediately came to his senses: "Alas, it's time to go to court." ”

He has always been responsible, although there were accidents tonight, he didn't think about quitting the court at all, and at this time, as soon as Rong Qian reminded him, he pulled his legs and walked out.

Rong Qian smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry, you are in such a hurry, for fear that you won't wake up all the people in my mansion." Take off all the conspicuous cloak and robe, put on my plain clothes, take off the golden crown, and cover your head with a big hat, and I will lead you out through the side door, and try not to let anyone recognize you. ”

Yan Rin looked down at his body in the dark night, luxurious and dazzling, dressed up eye-catching everywhere he went, and his face was hot again, but he didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly took it off.

Rong Qian went to the inner room and came out with a robe and a big hat. Originally, I really wanted to shake off the clothes and put them on Yan Rin with my own hands, but now I only have one hand, and it is inconvenient to do anything, so I have to smile and hand it to Yan Rin: "Please change your clothes yourself, the emperor, there is no one to serve here." As he spoke, he asked worriedly, "Will you change?" ”
