After hearing Wu Yunwan's words, Chai Jiliang said: "Since the eldest princess has said so, the minister is relieved." ”

At this time, Wu Yunwan glanced at Chai Jiliang, and then continued: "This palace is very curious, why did Lord Chai want my father to end the war? Lord Feichai received the silver of Great Xia."

Chai Jiliang immediately replied: "Eldest princess, the reason why the minister persuaded Your Majesty to end the war is entirely because Dawu can no longer bear the consequences of the war. ”

"Today's Dawu has a poor livelihood, Dawu maintains an army of millions all year round, which makes Dawu cultivate fewer and fewer people, if the war continues like this, it may provoke a civil uprising, not to mention, Dawu will soon suffer a large-scale famine."

"The common people are tired of war, and the soldiers are tired of war, and no matter how much land they occupy, they can't see a smile on their faces, they only have numbness and exhaustion on their faces."

Hearing Chai Jiliang's words, Wu Yunwan let out a clear laugh, "Lord Chai is really worried about the country and the people, no wonder his hair is almost gray, obviously not much older than this palace." ”

"However, this palace still advises Lord Chai not to disobey my father, he can still tolerate you now, if Lord Chai continues to oppose him, I'm afraid it will not be as simple as depriving you of the position of prime minister."

"Since he ascended the throne, there have been five prime ministers, and those prime ministers have not ended well, Lord Chai should not follow in their footsteps."

Chai Jiliang bent down and said, "Thank you for the reminder, the eldest princess, the minister will pay attention in the future." ”

At this time, Wu Yunwan thought of the topic just now, so she continued: "What does Lord Chai think of the 50,000 heavy cavalry in the northern land of Great Xia? Now many ministers in the court think that the 50,000 heavy cavalry is Emperor Xia's private soldiers, but judging from the news from the palace, Emperor Xia seems to have always disliked the North King, and his dislike stems from the North King's mother, not like pretending. ”

"This palace doesn't believe that Emperor Xia would hand over such an important heavy cavalry to a son he doesn't like."

Hearing this question, Chai Jiliang pondered for a moment, and then said: "The minister also thinks that the appearance of these 50,000 heavy cavalry is a little too sudden, even if these 50,000 heavy cavalry are the private soldiers of the Xia Emperor, when creating 50,000 sets of heavy cavalry armor, it will definitely attract the attention of the major families of Great Xia, but according to the minister's understanding, before the 50,000 heavy cavalry appeared in Beijun, the families in Great Xia were completely unaware of these 50,000 heavy cavalry. ”

"And Beijun doesn't have the ability to build 50,000 sets of armor, not to mention that the king of Bei has only been in the fiefdom for about a year, and it is simply impossible to build 50,000 sets of heavy cavalry armor in such a short time."

In Chai Jiliang's opinion, Emperor Xia's every move was monitored by the family, and if he only built thousands of sets of armor, maybe the family didn't know about it.

But the armor needed to build 50,000 sets of heavy cavalry is different, which requires a lot of craftsmen and a lot of resources.

The family of Great Xia controls the economic lifeline of Great Xia and controls all kinds of resources of Great Xia, and it is impossible for Emperor Xia to build 50,000 sets of heavy cavalry armor They didn't find out.

Even if you don't find it directly, there will always be some clues.

But according to the intelligence collected by Dawu, those families in Great Xia did not expect that Emperor Xia still had a heavy cavalry of 50,000 people in his hands.

Hearing Chai Jiliang's words, Wu Yunwan put the bamboo slip in her hand on the table, and then got up directly, at this time, a breeze blew, and Wu Yunwan's purple dress continued to fly with the wind.

Wu Yunwan asked thoughtfully: "In this way, Lord Chai also thinks that these 50,000 heavy cavalry are not the private soldiers of the Xia Emperor, but the soldiers in the hands of the Northern King?" ”

Chai Jiliang replied: "The minister also doesn't think that the 50,000 heavy cavalry is the private soldier of the Northern King, and the armor of the heavy cavalry built by the Xia Emperor will be noticed by the family, and it makes no sense that the Northern King has no news at all to build these 50,000 sets of heavy cavalry armor family, so the minister thinks that the 50,000 heavy cavalry in the hands of the Northern King is likely to come from other dynasties." ”

Hearing Chai Jiliang's words, Wu Yun said with a smile: "Lord Chai's guess is a bit interesting. ”

"But has Lord Chai ever thought about how these 50,000 heavy cavalry came from other dynasties?"

"To the north of Beijun are barbarians, in the southwest corner is Dayue, and to the east is the sea, no matter where these 50,000 heavy cavalry go to Beijun, it is impossible not to have any news at all."

Chai Jiliang said: "The minister has been thinking about this issue recently, according to the minister's analysis, these 50,000 heavy cavalry are most likely to come from the north of the northern land. ”

"There are only barbarians in the Northland, and no one knows what is in the place north of the Northland, and no one knows about the major dynasties, and we have never explored it, so the minister suspects that there are other dynasties in the place north of the Northland, but we don't know it."

Hearing Chai Jiliang's words, Wu Yunwan fell into deep thought, and she muttered: "What is the north of the Northland......

"That's something to keep an eye on."

"The barbarians who have frozen in the winter in the Northland can't stay anymore, and this palace is a little curious about what kind of race can survive in the north of the Northland, and even create a country."

"But then again, since Lord Chai and the main palace don't think that these 50,000 heavy cavalry are under the control of Great Xia, then there is no need for Lord Chai to worry that these 50,000 heavy cavalry will appear on the battlefield of Great Xia and Great Wu."

Chai Jiliang said: "Eldest princess, although the minister does not think that these 50,000 heavy cavalry are completely controlled by Great Xia, but judging from the fact that these 50,000 heavy cavalry helped Beijun defeat the 300,000 barbarian army, the master behind these 50,000 heavy cavalry is obviously biased towards Great Xia, so the minister still thinks that these 50,000 heavy cavalry will appear on the battlefield, and the family of Great Xia will inevitably find a way to let these 50,000 heavy cavalry go to the battlefield." ”

At this moment, a maid entered the palace, she walked straight to Wu Yunwan's side, and whispered, "Eldest princess, information from Great Xia." ”

Speaking of which, the maid handed the information in her hand to Wu Yunwan.

Wu Yunwan immediately took the information and took a serious look, and then Wu Yunwan smiled and said to Chai Jiliang: "Lord Chai, now you don't have to worry about the 50,000 heavy cavalry appearing on the battlefield, the people in the palace have sent news that the King of Beixian led an army of 200,000 to the south, and the King of the North still needs the 50,000 heavy cavalry to resist the army of the King of Beixian." ”

This......

Chai Jiliang was stunned.

He then asked in a skeptical tone, "Eldest Princess, how could the King of Beixian go south in winter?" ”

Wu Yunwan said lightly: "This palace is not clear, but the Great Xia Imperial Court has sent 20,000 cavalry to the north with supplies to support Beijun, and this news has been confirmed by many parties." ”

Seeing that Wu Yunwan said this, Chai Ji's conscience was finally a little relieved.

Wu Yunwan said at this time: "But then again, this palace is very interested in this northern king. ”

"It's a waste in everyone's eyes, but it can get everyone's attention."

"As far as this palace knows, in addition to these 50,000 heavy cavalry, there are also people from Xuanyue Palace who have gone to Beijun, and it is still the palace master of Xuanyue Palace who goes to Beijun."

"If he doesn't have special value, it is impossible for the country behind the 50,000 heavy cavalry to send 50,000 heavy cavalry to Beijun to help the Northern King resist the 300,000 barbarian army."

"It's even more impossible to let the palace master of Xuanyue Palace go on a trip in person."

"Hongu wants to know what kind of value he has."
