Zhu Qiyu explained with a smile: "Risk hedging means that you finish betting on the Sun family's casino with the front foot, and the Sun family pulls the gold and silver to our casino with the same odds on the back foot, and bets on me to win at the same odds."

In this way, no matter what the final battle situation is, he will not make money or lose. To put it simply, this trick is called the way of the other, and the other is also giving. ”

Lin Xiangyu nodded: "The slave family understands, but unfortunately our family doesn't have a casino." Although the family had collected a lot of property before, the slave family sold all the casinos in it. ”

"Okay, then okay, the princess is still prescient. Casinos are not easy to run, and they involve a lot of trivial matters, so don't do this business.

Now that everyone is at war, then I won't pretend. In a few days, I will install all three uncles in Jinyiwei, you go and talk to your mother first, let her meet her uncles, and ask them to keep an eye on Jinyiwei and Dongchang for me. ”

"Knowing the husband, don't worry, you can go back to the backyard and rest first."

Zhu Qiyu went back to the backyard to rest.

There was no talk all night, and the next morning, everyone was busy again.

Polo spent three days camping, and it was easy to get things done, and he wanted to rest for a good day, but Huang Pu came early in the morning to ask for a meeting.

Since the Warat army came to the city of Beijing, Huang Pu has become the spokesperson and mouthpiece of the new monarch, and is fully responsible for communicating with several leaders of Warat.

So Polo was very polite and personally connected Huang Pu to the big tent.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries again, and Polo asked, "Mr. Huang came here early in the morning, I don't know what to see?" ”

Huang Pu said with a smile: "The lower official is here to write a war letter for the Son of Heaven. ”

"The next battle book?"

Huang Pu hurriedly took out Zhu Qiyu's handwritten letter and handed it to Polo.

After Polo saw it, he couldn't believe it: "Your Majesty really wants to have a fair one-on-one duel with our army?" ”

"Uh-huh, of course it's true, you don't joke. In the past three days, the marshal has also seen that His Majesty has kept his promise and has neither interfered with your army when it was encamped, nor carried out a night attack.

According to what is written in His Majesty's war book, our army will only have 16,000 soldiers from Yuantucheng and the residential area, and will have a fair contest with the marshal equal in strength.

However, since your 16,000 men are all cavalry, and our 16,000 men are quite a few infantry. Therefore, we must rely on fortifications, with defense as the main thing and attack as a supplement. I want to make this clear to the marshal first. ”

Hearing this, Polo nodded again and again, and couldn't help but praise: "Your Majesty is indeed very trustworthy, and after saying that he would not attack, he did not make any offensive moves.

Sixteen thousand against sixteen thousand is also very fair, and I am willing to accept the challenge of Your Majesty. ”

Huang Pu continued: "Your Majesty hopes that both sides will fight for honor, only advance and not retreat, until one side is dead. Otherwise, if you lose, you will run, and this battle will not be fought for a year.

If the marshal wins, he will enter Beijing from Deshengmen and make immortal achievements. If Your Majesty wins, let Your Majesty annihilate your army and build supreme prestige. What does the marshal think? ”

"Yes, you can."

Polo really didn't think that with the two armies being equal in numbers, the Warat cavalry would lose to the Ming army.

So Huang Pu asked Polo to meet Ye Xian in person. It is not enough for Polo to receive the battle letter of the Great Tomorrow, but it also needs to be recognized first, promising that the main force of Warat will not join the war group.

At this time, he was already a little slack: extort the treasure, Da Ming will not give it; Let's fight, the city of Beijing is impregnable. The situation is like this, as long as the new monarch of the Ming Dynasty stops in moderation, does not rush forward with greed, and orders the whole army to hold on, the Warat army will definitely return in vain this time.

Therefore, the first thought has now been put on looting along the way when the army is withdrawn. For the defeat of the 200,000 army of the Ming Dynasty, he didn't consider it at all.

So when Huang Pu and Polo came together and claimed to fight to the death outside the northern city, they were both shocked and speechless at first.

In the end, he couldn't bear it first, and persuaded Huang Pu: "Let's ask Mr. Huang to go back and persuade the new emperor, Emperor Xuande and his Zaifu are tired of war to an inexplicable degree." As a result, the Ming Dynasty has been extremely lax in armament for 20 years.

And the combat power of the Ming army has long been decayed over the years.

It's not that I underestimate the new monarch, if he insists on doing it, the result will only be the same as your emperor. ”

Huang Pu smiled: "Thank you for your kindness, since you are so confident, do you agree to only watch the battle from the sidelines?" ”

Ye Xian nodded affirmatively: "I swear in the name of the ancestors, as long as the emperor only uses these sixteen thousand people to fight and does not let other Ming troops join, then the Taishi will definitely not mobilize the main force of Wara to participate in the battle." ”

"Okay, Master Tai is really refreshing, then let's settle it like this."

At this point, both first and Zhu Qiyu felt that the other party was a fool. However, at this time, Yexian is the most free, even if Polo's entire army is really destroyed, it is not unacceptable to Yexian.

I also thought about it a long time ago, if the three Polo brothers were really all killed in battle, then I and Boyan Timur would gather all the soldiers and horses under their command and wipe out the 30,000 troops of the Arazhiyuan with 100,000 people.

In this way, it will be possible to completely unify the interior of Warat and put an end to the long-standing situation of multi-headed co-governance.

Polo didn't know Yexian's intentions, and he really couldn't imagine that Yexian would choose this moment to start a civil war. In Polo's cognition, everyone should now be the same enemy.

Huang Pu could see it, but Huang Pu didn't say it.

Both sides think each other is stupid, but they talk and laugh affectionately on their faces. After another round of greetings, Huang Pu said goodbye and went back to the palace to report to the emperor.

At the same time that Huang Pu entered the palace, the concubine rarely left the palace and entered the palace.

After learning that Zhu Qiyu was going to start promoting her maiden brother, the concubine was overjoyed, so she personally went out and entered the palace to communicate with the Empress Dowager Sun.

Zhu Qiyu and his concubines all regarded the palace as snakes and scorpions and avoided it. In the entire Qi Palace, the only one who was not afraid and dared to swagger into the palace was the concubine alone.

Concubine Wu is now the second woman in the world. Although the queen is the mother of the world, there are only two queens now.

In the end, the queen is one layer different from the genuine queen, and even if she is a genuine queen, when she sees the imperial concubine, she has to give three points.

The most important thing is that in the entire Qi Palace, only Concubine Wu entered the palace and was not afraid of poisoning: first of all, the sterilization medicine that Zhu Qiyu was most afraid of no longer meant to Concubine Wu, and no one in the palace would be so brain-dead as to give Concubine Wu sterilization medicine.

Secondly, chronic poisons are not good, and most of the methods of chronic poison require long-term poisoning.
