"Then have you ever thought about what this war means to the people of Zhongzhou?" Qin Hanmu asked rhetorically, "They live in their homeland and abide by their duties, why should they suffer from this war?" ”

Cui Mu was speechless for a while, Qin Hanmu smiled and waved his hand, signaling him to go down.

Cui Mu had no choice but to salute respectfully, and when he was about to walk to the door, he seemed to suddenly think of something, so he stopped, turned to Qin Hanmu and said, "General Qin, can the last general also ask you a few questions?" ”

Qin Hanmu smiled in his eyes and nodded, "Just ask." ”

"What does the general think, what is the determination of the state pastor to attack Zhongzhou?" Cui Mu asked.

"It's very resolute." Qin Han said.

"Then the general thinks that if you delay the excuse of not sending troops, can the state pastor have a way to deal with it?" Cui Mu continued to ask.

Qin Hanmu pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe he won't be able to wait, maybe he will change the main general." ”

"Then do you think that in addition to you, there are still people in Jiangzhou who can do it?" Cui Mu continued to ask.

"Even if we can win, it should be a miserable victory." Qin Han said.

"The last general thinks so, too." Cui Mu paused, looked directly into Qin Hanmu's eyes, and spoke again, "At that time, both sides will suffer heavy losses, and if the generals and soldiers in the army do not have your control, the damage to the people of Zhongzhou who have lost their resistance is probably even more unimaginable." ”

Qin Hanmu frowned, Cui Mu's words obviously touched him.

"So, do you think this battle must be commanded by me?" Qin Hanmu said in a deep voice.

"That's right." Cui Mu nodded solemnly, "As long as the general commands the three armies, you can capture Zhongzhou at the smallest cost, and the generals and soldiers in the army will definitely not do anything unfavorable to the people under your control." ”

"After the army presses the border, it is the best policy to force Zhongzhou to negotiate peace, and cut the land and pay for the grain."

Qin Hanmu met Cui Mu's firm gaze, thought for a long time, and finally nodded slowly.

"Pass on my military order, and at noon tomorrow, the whole army will cross the river." A cold light flashed in Qin Hanmu's eyes, like a sharp blade, like a starlight in a cold night.

Cui Mu was stunned, almost confirming that he had heard it wrong: "Do you want to cross the river directly?" ”

"The best time to cross the river has passed, and no matter how much design is designed to avoid the Weishui moat, in this case, the conspiracy is not as good as the yang scheme, and crossing the river directly is the best policy." Qin Han said.

After Cui Mu was ordered to retreat, Shangguan Miao walked in from outside the tent.

"Miao, you're here." Qin Hanmu said softly.

Shangguan moved lightly, walked to the front of the case, and stared at his face affectionately through a long case.

Her eyes are still full of lotus flowers, even if it is late autumn now.

Her gaze swept over the desk, looking at the four big characters on the rice paper, and the corners of her mouth hooked a charming arc.

"Good words." She whispered, and then murmured softly, "Husband." ”

In the last two words, she deliberately lengthened her voice and warmed her tone.

"What did you just say?" Qin Hanmu said in surprise.

"I'm a good handman." Shangguan said misty.

"It's not like that, what are you calling me?" Qin Hanmu even doubted his ears.

"I'll call you husband." Shangguan Miao's eyes were like silk, and he pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Could it be that the general has repented and is not ready to marry me?" ”

"Where do I have?" Qin Hanmu hurriedly defended himself and said, "I just didn't hear clearly, and aren't we still married?" ”

"Since the general is not ready to repent, then I will exercise the rights of the general's wife in advance, can't I?" Shangguan said misty.

"Naturally, you can, but ......" Before Qin Hanmu finished speaking, Shangguan Miao raised his hand to cover his mouth.

"No, but, I nodded when I understood." Shangguan said misty.

Qin Hanmu had no choice but to nod obediently.

"Fang Cai, I heard some of your conversation with General Cui." Shangguan Miao lowered his arm and said softly, "I didn't eavesdrop, I just wanted to come to you." ”

"It doesn't hurt to eavesdrop, whatever you want to know, I'll tell you." Qin Han said.

"Are you really going to cross the river directly tomorrow?" Shangguan Miao asked.

Qin Hanmu nodded solemnly: "At that time, I thought about it improperly and missed the best time to cross the river. ”

"If I had a way to make the defenders on the other side invisible for a short time, would it help you?" Shangguan Miao hesitated, but still spoke.

"Miao, do you know that on the other side, there are tens of thousands of Zhongzhou soldiers?" Qin Hanmu shook his head and said solemnly, "Even if you practice the ghost path, with this magical power, I can't let you get into danger." ”

"Listen to me first." Shangguan Miao continued, "The spell I just talked about is indeed a forbidden spell in the ghost path, and it is called a ghost qi obstacle. ”

"To perform this forbidden technique, I need to use all my body cultivation to mobilize the ghost qi within a radius of a hundred miles. and then cover people's eyes with ghostly energy, so that they cannot see things. ”

Shangguan Miao saw that Qin Hanmu had been frowning for a long time, so he continued to explain: "It's just a temporary loss of vision, and it won't cause them long-term harm. ”

"I'm not worried about them, I'm worried about you." Qin Hanmu said solemnly.

"Worried about me?" Although he didn't know what Qin Hanmu was worried about, Shangguan Miao's heart still warmed.

"Not to mention that casting forbidden spells will cause damage to your body, just if you make a random move and meddle in the mortal war as an immortal cultivator, it will put you in danger." Qin Han said.

Shangguan Miao smiled: "Are you worried about the non-interference agreement signed by the major immortal cultivator sects and the state pastors?" ”

Qin Hanmu nodded.

"But in this war, Vientiane Gate has already intervened?" Shangguan said misty.

"The Vientiane Sect is just going to clamp down on the Mengze Sect, and they will not directly intervene in the battle between the two armies," Qin Han said.

"Even so, the general has nothing to worry about." Shangguan Miao continued, "Ghost cultivators have never been taken seriously by those famous and decent people, and we never have to abide by their agreements. ”

"But......" Qin Hanmu's words were once again stopped by Shangguan Miao.

This time, she pinched Qin Hanmu's mouth and said with a look: "I didn't say it, but I didn't say it." ”

"I nodded, I understood." Shangguan Miao continued.

Qin Hanmu had no choice but to nod again.

"Good ~ husband." Shangguan Miao let go of his fingers with satisfaction, patted his chest and continued: "Then tomorrow's things will be wrapped up in me." ”

Qin Hanmu was still not at ease: "Then after casting this forbidden technique, what damage will it do to your body?" ”

"For about a month, I can't mobilize my ghost qi again and become no different from ordinary people." Shangguan Miao pondered for a moment, and then added, "When the time comes, you are not allowed to bully me." ”
