Absolutely!After crossing over, my maid is also reborn

Chapter 497
Xiao country border, after a big battle, both sides are repairing.

It was night now, and in the main account, Zhao Shun was standing in front of the sand table with several generals, studying the next battle situation.

"My lord, this time the Xiao Kingdom is coming in a menacing manner, and there is no intention of negotiating peace. I am afraid that King Xiao has issued a death order and is determined to take down these twelve border cities." General Yang said.

"That's right... Xiao Guo's soldiers regard death as home, like a pack of wolves, it is really difficult for our soldiers to deal with it." General Zhuo said.

General Su nodded and said: "The battle just now was already a life-and-death duel. Although the winner was not determined, the morale of our army has been damaged. I am afraid it will not be so easy to recover."

"Several generals sit down first."

As Zhao Shun said, he took his seat on the main seat in the account and ordered someone to pour hot water for the generals.

"My lord, what should we do now?" General Su asked.

Zhao Shun picked up the water bowl and took a sip, "Don't worry, it will take at least two days for the whole army to fight again."

"Two days... my lord! Two days, we have to make preparations, just wait like this, isn't it at the mercy of others?" General Yang said.

"It's fine for us to reorganize the army normally. If Xiao Guo is unwilling to negotiate a peace, this king will personally go to battle to kill the enemy." Zhao Shun said.

"But... my lord, you have to discuss a countermeasure before you have a chance." General Zhuo said.

"Xiao Guo's army is indeed brave, but they can't hold back." Zhao Shun said.

General Su thought for a while, "Indeed, the country of Xiao is short of food and grass. If the war lasts for two months at this juncture, the citizens will starve to death."

"So, what we have to do is to hold them back. Try not to start a large-scale war. It's okay to let them taste the sweetness first. In this way, it will be easier to counterattack. As long as Xiao Guo can't hold on, we Immediately enter the army." Zhao Shun said.

"Although the country of Xiao is difficult to sustain, our soldiers are not enough... Even if we have to delay, we must delay." General Su worried.

"Your Majesty has issued an edict to General Zhennan, and the eldest son of General Zhennan will set off with the army tomorrow. Generals, although the morale of our army has been greatly reduced, this morale problem needs to be resolved by the generals."

After Zhao Shun finished speaking, he looked at the generals in the account, and said: "Every move of the generals will affect the morale. As long as your hearts are firm, the soldiers will naturally be firm."

General Su clasped his fists and said: "My lord, the general understands that the general will definitely boost morale and not let his will down."

"The last general takes orders!" The other generals said in unison.

"Okay, all the generals go to work first." Zhao Shun said.

The generals stood up, cupped their fists and saluted, "The last general will retire."

After everyone left, Zhao Shun picked up the roster and frowned.

"In this large-scale war, our side lost one tenth, which is a bit serious." Zhao Shun said.

"My lord, the opponent's loss is not small, so you don't have to worry too much." Murong Duan said.

Zhao Shun put down the roster and asked, "Is there any news from Luoping City?"

"My lord, some time ago, that concubine of the Qian family went to Luoping City and did some government affairs... Secretary of Government Affairs." Murong Duan said.

"Secretary of Government Affairs... This position belongs to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Did he do anything? Did he cause trouble for the Shen family?" Zhao Shun asked.

"He contacted President Song of a chamber of commerce, and this President Song found some merchants and buyers, saying that the medicines sold by Shen's pharmacy were fake, and that there was a beauty in the inner harem who also used Shen's medicine. , said it was a delay in his illness. After the eldest son of the Shen family got the news, he rushed to Luoping City overnight." Murong Duan said.

Zhao Shun looked up at him and asked, "When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me?"

"My lord was busy with military affairs some time ago, and my subordinates didn't dare to bother me." Murong Duan said.

Zhao Shun took a deep breath, "Murong Duan, you are getting more and more good at handling tasks."

"This subordinate knows his mistake." Murong Duan quickly clasped his fists, lowered his head, and said again: "My lord, the matter in Luoping City has been settled. Such a trivial matter, Wangfei and the others easily dismissed it. Therefore, this subordinate did not rush to inform you."

"Then tell me how the concubine got rid of it." Zhao Shun asked.

"The concubine sent someone to investigate secretly. First, she found President Song, and sent Tao Guaner and the others to teach him a lesson, and then found another boss, bought him, and wrote a testimony. On the second day, the eldest son They brought their testimony and sued them to the Yamen, and those people were all arrested." Murong Duan said.

Zhao Shun sneered, "Qian Lingru dares to show off even with such a little means. Is there anything else going on in Luoping City?"

"There is another small matter. Qian Lingru also contacted the Qi family. Qi Yu, the fourth son of the Qi family, had a feud with the princess. He secretly picked up Aunt Han from Zhuangzi and started a fight in front of the Shen residence. But this It didn't affect the Shen family's reputation either, Second Shen Furen went out in person, took the maidservant and brought her into the mansion." Murong Duan said.

"Father-in-law is a soft-hearted and nostalgic person. Shen Qingzhi is dead, so he will definitely not deal with the Han family." Zhao Shun said.

"My lord is right. The Han family was just locked up and not punished. The princess was so angry that she ordered Officer Tao to inject her with scorpion poison, which did not harm her life." Murong Duan said.

"Wangfei is pregnant, how is her health?" Zhao Shun asked.

"Don't worry, my lord, my concubine's health is fine, and she has not been affected by these things." Murong Duan said.

"That's good." Zhao Shun picked up the roster again, and said: "Murong Duan, this roster must be kept well, and when this battle is over, we must give condolences to the families of these soldiers."

"Yes. My lord, you haven't had a good meal these few days, why don't you use some first." Murong Duan said.

"Okay, go get it." Zhao Shun said.

"Yes."

Just as Murong Duan was about to go out, the soldiers who sent the order came.

"My lord, there is an envoy from Xiao Guo who said that he has something to discuss with the lord."

"Besides the messenger, are there other people?" Zhao Shun asked.

"There is only one messenger and one of his guard soldiers." The orderly said.

Zhao Shun frowned, what the hell is Chu Yinyin doing?Why has there been no news or appearance?

"Let them in." Zhao Shun said.

"Yes."

Murong Duan was not in a hurry to pay the bill, but returned to Zhao Shun's side and said, "My lord, the envoy is probably here to ask for peace."

"A messenger, what qualifications do you have to negotiate terms with this king?" Zhao Shun said.

"That's right...Miss Chu hasn't shown up until now, and there hasn't been any news from her." Murong Duan said.

"Chu Yinyin's wings are hardened, and she looks rich and charming. It seems that she has forgotten the hatred of the past." Zhao Shun said.

At this time, the soldiers entered the tent with Xiao Guo's envoy and a Xiao Guo soldier.

Seeing that soldier from the Xiao Kingdom, Zhao Shun slightly curled his lips.

"See the Regent."

The envoy and the Xiao soldiers touched their shoulders with one hand, and bowed to salute.

"The envoy came late at night, but His Highness King Xiao, what news do you want to bring?" Zhao Shun said.

"Going back to the Regent, it's not King Xiao, but the princess."

After the envoy finished speaking, he glanced at the Xiao country soldier next to him. The Xiao country soldier gave him a wink, and he immediately withdrew from the account.
