Sarina was about to ask the imperial doctor what was going on, why did she bring it from the palace? Isn't there a military doctor in the army?

But before he could ask, Chen Chao turned around and boarded the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked at Sarina who was standing in place and smiled.

Looking at the smile on the corner of Chen Chao's mouth, Sarina only felt that Chen Chao had bad intentions and fled.

……

……

The team stopped for a moment to rest and then set off again.

In the carriage, Chen Chao leaned alone in the carriage, the carriage staggered along, and soon, he felt a little bored.

You must know that if there is such a boredom on the road, Chen Chao should really bring his little maid Yue'e out together.

But he can't, Yue'e is now pregnant, and she stays in the house to raise a baby with Xu Hongdou.

Even Yue'e's little girl was pregnant, which Chen Chao never expected.

Sighing, Chen Chao looked at the empty carriage beside him, no matter what, he must trick Sarina into the car along the way......

When Chen Chao was bored in the carriage, in the Wenchang Pavilion of the Imperial Palace in the capital, several scholars were discussing why Chen Chao had to bring 20,000 prisoners of war from Beidi to Jinzhou.

"Those 20,000 prisoners of war were subjected to 'inhuman treatment' in the prisoner of war camp, and they were already starved to skin and bones, I once went to see it, it was a miserable one, they were not human, they couldn't walk, and there was no need to be used as cannon fodder. The journey to Jinzhou is farther than going north to the grassland, and the value of cannon fodder is not enough for the 20,000 people to consume on the road, which is a loss-making deal...... Therefore, Xiangye must have other plans. ”

This is Qin Xiangru's opinion.

He felt that Chen Chao must have his reasons for doing this, and it was definitely not to let 20,000 prisoners of war be used as cannon fodder for such a big effort.

After listening to Qin Xiangru's opinion, Fang Xiu took a sip of tea, stroked his beard and said: "Chen Chaoli is against public opinion, if you have to lay down Goguryeo before the spring of next year, we can't persuade you...... Now this is making trouble again, it's really incredible, the old man has been an official for so many years, and he has never experienced such a thing. ”

The others looked at Fang Xiu.

Fang Xiu was the oldest of the several people, and he was also the longest official among the several people, and even what Fang Xiu had never seen, they had never seen before.

Scholars, you and I are talking very fiercely.

The empress who practiced big characters on the dragon chair pouted, feeling that her words were simply unreadable, she was really not suitable to be an emperor, and her dream was to be a heroine in the rivers and lakes.

But this dream is far away, her only wish now is that her "Seventh Brother" hurriedly renews the incense for the old Li family, let those women conceive children, and wait for the surname Li to take the baby to be born, she will give up the throne and go to the rivers and lakes.

Looking at the fierceness of the "noisy" of several scholars below, the empress put down the brush in her hand, raised her head, and said crisply: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have a word, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

I heard the empress speak.

Several scholars, who were still sitting, hurriedly stood up.

Although the empress has no real power, she is just the mascot of Daji.

But after all, the royal bloodline is still there, and everyone still respects her as the lord of the Great Era.

"Your Majesty, please speak, and the ministers will listen to you!"

The empress blinked her eyes, trapped in the dragon chair for many years, and she was no longer the nine-year-old girl who didn't know anything before.

She frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Father once said something to me, and I remember it very well...... Father once said that the real strength of a country does not depend on the number of troops or how strong the military is on paper, but every time the enemy mentions the name of the country, he must tremble three times, and think twice before acting, whether it is worth it...... I thought that Ya Father's move was to deter Beidi from the bones! So that they no longer dare to dare to invade the south. ”

The ministers looked at each other, and at the end, Qin Xiangru arched his hand: "Shock? ”

"Yes!"

The empress stood up and stepped off the dragon chair: "Shock! Yafu also wanted to attack Goguryeo against the public opinion, and he had to do this more, pulling 20,000 prisoners of war to Jinzhou, according to my opinion...... Yafu wants those 20,000 prisoners of war to be the audience, and see how our Daji army quickly defeated Goguryeo! ”

"We have just fought a hard battle with Beidi, Beidi has been completely defeated, if at this time, we can still defeat Goguryeo, it is enough to let those Beidi captives remember, how powerful our Daji is! They are facing such a great era, and if they want to go south again in the future, they have to weigh it clearly......"

When the ministers heard this, they looked at each other.

Be rendered speechless.

At the same time, they were shocked.

At such a young age, the empress had such insight.

Your Majesty is really a god and a man!

……

The army set up camp in the field in the evening, rested for the night, and set out again tomorrow morning.

Chen Chao sat in the tent, ate the cake with hot water, and asked, "Those prisoners of war didn't make trouble today, right?" ”

Murong Chong bowed and saluted, clasped his fists and said, "No." However, there are many people who are already in poor physical condition, and they have died on the road after a day's drive. ”

Chen Chao nodded, and there was no pity, "If you die, you will die, it's good if you don't make trouble, pay attention to the people who arrange patrols at night, 20,000 people is not a small number, be careful that they make trouble." ”

"My subordinates know."

After saying that, Murong Chong retreated, arranging the trivial matters of the army camping and resting at night, especially taking good care of the 20,000 Beidi prisoners of war.

Chen Chao stayed alone in the tent and ate a simple dinner.

After a while, someone opened the curtain and walked in, looking sneaky, for fear of being discovered by others.

Yelu Wu came here secretly, and Sarina didn't know about it.

She didn't know why she wanted to hide from Sarina to find Chen Chao.

may be in her heart, not wanting her daughter to know that she came to Chen Chao at night.

Walking into the camp tent, Yelu Wu glanced at Chen Chao who was sitting on the chair, and didn't give him a good look, "There is one thing, you have to promise me!" ”

"What's the matter?"

"Sarina, don't let you touch her!"

Chen Chao smiled, swallowed the last piece of cake, patted the slag in his hand, and took a sip of water, "Princess, are you too lenient?" ””

"No more nonsense! Promise me! Yelu Wu glared at Chen Chao.

"Okay, I promise you."

On the surface, he agreed, but in his heart, Chen Chao was saying...... I promise a fart.

Mother and daughter together, he hasn't tried it yet.

It's challenging!

It's exciting to think about!

Chen Chao is not a righteous gentleman, and he can't be good to only one person for the rest of his life.

Seeing that Chen Chao agreed, Yelu Wu slowly relaxed and found a place to sit down, "Remind me, your opponent this time is the famous general Jin Xianchen of Goguryeo, this person is not easy to deal with, if Jinzhou is responsible for commanding the attack, then Jinzhou will not be able to hold it at all!" ”
