Xiu Yuan knew that this attack must have been planned by the Northern Emperor a long time ago. The eldest princess who went to kiss was just a target to block Cai Guo's gaze. I think they are also fully prepared this time. But Cai Guo's side was not completely unaware, since Xi Guo planned to tear his face, Cai Guo would definitely not care about any princess or princess, and the ambush they suffered this time must have been caused by Cai Wenjun. It's just that what makes Xiu Yuan can't figure it out is that Changsun Hui is still a princess no matter how bad she is, and letting her live as a hostage is much better than dead, why do they have to kill them all like this? Xiu Yuan originally wanted to take out the yarrow to make a divination, but after thinking about it, he is now a mortal body, and this matter of spying on the heavens is originally extremely detrimental to life, so forget it.

Xiu Yuan said to Li Lin, the head of the household department, "You first prepare a letter and tell the generals who occupy Dujiangyan that the eldest princess of the country is in my hands, and ask him to send someone over to talk about the conditions for the exchange." After a pause, he said to the military department, "Go and transfer all the nearby troops and set them aside." ”

The head of the household and the secretary of the military department looked at each other, did not speak, and retreated. Xiu Yuan knew what they were thinking, and they were worried that they would destroy their original alliance with Cai Guo and turn to Xi Guo instead. This world is the world of Xiguo, and now the Northern Emperor has intended to recover the southwest land, and after recovering the southwest, he must start to recover the Chu land in the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, for the sake of long-term planning, it is best to form an alliance with Cai Guo now. As the saying goes, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and the Cai State is dead, and the Chu State will not be long-term. Xiu Yuan had never intended to stay in the world for a long time. Therefore, he didn't want to provoke a war, so he came all the way to negotiate with Emperor Cai Ling on the edge of the border. But now, he found Xuan Che and knew that he might not be able to go back for a while. So naturally, he had to start planning for himself. This Cai Guo is always a piece of chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it.

Xiu Yuan still couldn't understand why Xuan Che couldn't remember himself at all. Judging from her conversation with the girl named Yu Qing in the past few days, she shouldn't remember anything. But at that time, she was about to pull out the Five Elements Flag, and she held it down, and then the two of them fell into a coma together, and their souls left their bodies together, and then fell into the mortal world, why didn't she remember anything alone? Could it be that she was afraid that she would ask too much, so she deliberately pretended? But judging from her high-minded and arrogant character, she would not pretend to be stupid like this.

Xiu Yuan sighed, moistened the cinnabar wolf in his hand, and then took up the pen and wrote a promise on the letter on the case, and then covered it with the jade seal. Then put the letter into the envelope, write the words "Beidi personally opened" on the envelope, and then said to the attendants, "Pass my order, and send it to Xiguo quickly." The guard took the order and withdrew. However, the elder pavilion who had been standing on the side leaned down and said sadly, "Your Majesty, think twice." If our Chu State and Cai State form an alliance to jointly resist this attack, we can still maintain peace for a few more years, but if we form an alliance with Xi State and start a war against Cai State, as soon as Cai State dies, it will be our Chu State immediately. And even if there is no danger in the short term, when the war breaks out again, our Chu State will die if it does not die. ”

Xiu Yuan was not in a hurry or annoyed, and said lightly, "Do you know what the conditions for my alliance with Xiguo are?"

Ge Lao was stunned for a moment, and said embarrassedly, "I don't know." ”

Xiu Yuan picked up Biluochun, which was already cold on the table, took a sip, and frowned, "I told Beidi that this time Xiguo attacked Cai Guo, I will not take advantage of the chaos to sneak attack." But........." he paused, and continued, "I will attack the state of Cai with him and divide up its lands, hoping that it will not be strange." In fact, this last sentence is superfluous, after he knew that Xiguo had recovered Dujiangyan, he had led his people to retreat to Yunfu County, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and then took Taoyuan County as his stronghold, and then ordered the Chu army to cross the Nu River and approach Jiangzhou. Now it is estimated that the ** team is also rushing to Jiangzhou. Also, in that place in Jiangzhou, one husband is the gate, and no one can open it, and whoever occupies it can seize the initiative. Although the Xi ** team had taken Dujiangyan by surprise, Jiangzhou was closer to Chu after all, not Xi. So he may not lose this battle.

When the elder heard his words, he was already stunned. After a long time, he bowed down respectfully, kowtowed, and said, "The old minister is ignorant, since Your Majesty has already decided, let it go." I and the ministers of the DPRK and China will fully support Your Majesty. In his words, there was an indescribable deference. The two old kings of the court are extremely stubborn on weekdays, and they rely on the old and sell the old, and they are usually not very polite to Xiuyuan, and sometimes they will argue with him above the court. Xiu Yuan doesn't like to fight with people, so he listens to him in everything on weekdays. And although this is stubborn, it is not pedantic. There is still a lot of governance in the country, and Xiuyuan has his help, which saves a lot of trouble. With his support this time, the opponents of the DPRK and China will certainly be suppressed by him.

Wang Shizhi originally planned to retreat, but seeing that Xiu Yuan still looked thoughtful, he hesitated, "Your Majesty wants to supervise the battle here, or go back to Jinling?"

Xiu Yuan knew what he was worried about, Yunfu County was too close to Cai Guoxiguo, if something happened to him, it would be too late to escape, and he just wanted to go back and study Xuan Che well. The coaches he sent to the front line this time are all generals who can take charge of themselves, and there should be no problem in dealing with the situation here. He nodded, and said to Wang Shizhi, "I have been away from Jinling for more than half a month, and now it is time to go back. ”

Wang Shizhi's face turned red, and he said embarrassedly, "Your Majesty smiled, I only think Your Majesty is still a child, so I rushed to dissuade him." Now seeing that His Majesty has such a decision, he naturally does not dare to say more. ”

Xiu Yuan smiled faintly, picked up a fold in his hand, and then waved his hand at Wang Shizhi, signaling him to go out. When Wang Shi saw this, he didn't say anything more, bowed to him, and then withdrew, but before going out, he asked again, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess of the Xi Kingdom, Changsun Hui, do you want to send her back to the Xi Kingdom, or bring her back to Jinling?"

Xiu Yuan flipped his hand for a moment, and then said softly, "Naturally, I brought it back to Jinling as a hostage." ”

When Wang Shizhi heard this, he quietly withdrew.

Xiu Yuan looked at the fold in his hand, but his gaze fell on a blank space.

What is his relationship with her? Whip of God, Sword of Heaven Piercing, Heavenly Machine, the same, the same, tossing and turning in his mind. He always felt that he had some inexplicable connection with that woman, however, he always couldn't understand the subtleties.

However, fortunately, I have found her now, and I can ask her slowly in the future.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Xiu Yuan's face, as if he had seen the picture of her reaching out to hug herself again.
