In mid-June, Xiao Zhuo first went to Xiaogang Village, and he asked the people to take refuge in the city, and then Xiao Zhuo led his army to set up camp five miles west of Xiaogang Village.

Shen Yuexi was puzzled and asked, "Husband, why don't we go to the city? Even Xiaogang Village is fine."

To the west of Xiaogang Village is a flat river, with only a few valleys. Basically, there is no danger to defend, and it is not as strong as the city in the north.She thought that even if Xiao Zhuo didn't garrison troops in the city, he would at least garrison them in Xiaogang Village, where at least there were large ready-made houses for soldiers to rest.Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhuo worked tirelessly to rebuild a camp from scratch.

Xiao Zhuo explained to her: "If the army enters the city to defend, then the king of Qi's army can directly besiege the city when it comes, and our grain transportation route from Liangzhou will be cut off. Failure at that time will be a matter of time. If I don't enter now The city, camped in the southwest direction of the city, and the defenders of the city formed the corners of each other, and guarded the food road at the same time. With this army, the King Qi army would not dare to besiege the city openly. If they attack the city by force, I can beat him flank, or attack his camp. It is far better than going to the city and sticking to it."

Shen Yuexi half understood, and asked: "If King Qi and Xiao Beiheng divide into two armies, for example, Xiao Beiheng leads [-] troops to attack the city, and King Qi's [-] troops attack us, what should we do?"

Xiao Zhuo smiled slightly and said: "Dividing troops seems to be useful, but it is actually a way to bring disaster."

Shen Yuexi still felt that her thinking was quite reasonable. Qiu Liming, the general next to her, came over and said, "Mistress, my lord once told my subordinates that it hurts to hit with fists, and poking with two fingers will only make the opponent feel uncomfortable. Ruo Qi If the king divides his troops, then any of their troops will have no advantage in strength over us, which is equivalent to actively weakening themselves."

After Qiu Liming described it with his fist and fingers, Shen Yuexi finally understood, stuck out his tongue and said, "I think too simply, it seems that I can only watch the battle."

Before leaving, Mei Dai told her that she didn't need to learn how to fight with soldiers, Xiao Zhuo would solve everything for her.It seemed that she could only watch from the sidelines in this big battle.

"There is something for you to do," Xiao Zhuo picked up a letter on the case, "We are going to fight with King Qi's army in the near future, and the Yan army at the southern border is a hidden danger. I need Yuexi to go to find out the border. Coach Zhao Mu's thoughts, whether they support or oppose our army, or remain neutral."

"Ah, I'll go?" Shen Yuexi pointed to the tip of her nose.

She didn't expect that Xiao Zhuo would assign her such a big task, asking her to negotiate with Zhao Mu.

Xiao Zhuo laughed and patted the top of her head: "If the military advisor Song Zhen is here, he should handle this matter. Now I can only let you be my military advisor."

Shen Yuexi was a little scared, she lowered her head and said, "But I... I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well."

She had experienced several exchanges and speeches with people before, but they were all ordinary people like villagers.Now Xiao Zhuo wants her to negotiate with Zhao Mu, the border coach. The other party is a high-ranking and powerful general in the Yan Dynasty, who commands an army of [-]. She subconsciously feels that she is not good enough.

Now that the battle is imminent, what if he messes things up because he can't speak?

Xiao Zhuo stretched out his hands to hold her shoulders, and looked at her with tenderness in his eyes: "Yuexi, this matter must be done by a person with courage, strategy, and ingenuity. Apart from you, I can't think of anyone else Who can do it."

He used three commendatory words in a row, making Shen Yuexi dizzy from the praise, and then he got up, squinted his eyes, and said repeatedly with pleasure:

"Don't worry, husband, take care of me."

Courageous, cunning, and ingenious... She is even ashamed to praise her.

In terms of courage, she has experienced so many battles, and she has long been calm.In terms of ingenuity, this was what Sister Mei Dai praised her at that time.

Shen Yuexi didn't understand until the carriage approached the gate of the border gate.

"I don't have any plans," she called out from the carriage, "I'm obviously a fool in this respect."

What happened to me at the time, why did I agree to this man inexplicably.

Xia Lan, the maid who shared the car with her, even froze the smile on her face when she heard this, and said, "Mistress, how about...how about we go back first?"

It was almost time to go, Shen Yuexi suddenly said that she couldn't do it, it was really scary.

"Is there still time to go back?" Shen Yuexi stretched out her hand and just opened the window, the carriage stopped.

"Master," Qiang Lin said from the car window, "General Wei Liang led his generals out of the border to greet him."

Shen Yuexi was taken aback, she understood that the border had also arrived, and Wei Liang came out to welcome her.Now I can't run away, so I can only bite the bullet and put it on the shelf.

She tidied up her makeup in the mirror, then reached out to open the door, intending to jump out of the carriage as usual.

With her hands on the door handle, she thought about it, no way.

Now that I am the special envoy representing Xiao Zhuojun, I can't behave as casually as a village woman. If people see the jokes and don't tell them, they may despise myself, which is not good for the negotiation.

In Xiliang's free time for conscription, Mei Dai occasionally talked to her about the princess's speech and manners, her manners, her demeanor should be dignified, and she should not be frizzy.Mei Dai herself is a role model in this regard. Although Shen Yuexi didn't pay much attention to learning, she got along with Mei Dai every day and learned a little bit.

She held back and did not move, and two hidden guards outside came to open the car door for her.

Xia Lan got out of the car first, stood beside the car and stretched out her hand, and then Shen Yuexi put her hand on Xia Lan's hand and got off the car.

The carriage stopped at the border city, and General Wei Liang led all the generals out to meet him.

To him, Shen Yuexi had the friendship of gifting a gun before, and the grace of saving lives in the city later.He was grateful to Shen Yuexi, and when he knew Shen Yuexi was coming, he went out of the gate to greet him specially to show his respect.

Wei Liang saluted first and said: "The last general, Wei Liang, pays homage to Princess Zhao." All the generals behind him also saluted together.

Shen Yuexi's heart skipped a beat.

Wei Liang still called himself Princess Zhao, which meant that they recognized Emperor Yongde's will, that is to say, they were still loyal to Emperor Yongde.Then it's easy to move on.

With a smile on her face, she stretched out her hand and raised it up: "I'm sorry, all the generals are here to welcome you, please get up."

"Thank you, Princess." Wei Liang straightened up and stepped aside from the road: "Princess Zhao, please enter the pass, and the last general will lead the army to escort her."

Watching Shen Yuexi and his party enter the border, Wei Liang felt quite emotional.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhuo would send Shen Yuexi as an envoy to the border.

I remember the first time I saw this abandoned princess, she brought five thousand prisoners of war to the border to beg for food.At that time, she was really rustic and silly, not at all what a princess should be.

Goodbye now, Shen Yuexi's words and deeds are faintly like a princess.
