"Your Highness, your princess, are you..."

"Xu Aiqing, this is a small reward from my palace for your life-saving grace. Open your mouth..."

"Thank you... Your Highness..."

Even Xu Wenjing's veteran in love was so distracted by Wei Ying's behavior that he was so distracted. He obediently opened his mouth, slowly pressed it against the spoon, and gently sucked it.

Wei Ying looked at Xu Wenjing licking all the fish soup in the spoon, and immediately asked softly: "Xu Aiqing, is this fish soup fresh?"

Xu Wenjing closed her eyes and felt like she was savoring the sweet taste of fish soup. After a while, she shook her head and muttered to herself: "Although the fish soup is fresh, it is not delicious. The beautiful lady like Your Highness, feeding this soup, the fish soup is perfect, delicious, delicious..."

Wei Ying pursed her lips and smiled: "Xu Aiqing, you are so funny. How can I say so well in this palace? Since Xu Aiqing likes it, I will feed you another spoonful..."

After saying that, Wei Ying took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish meat from the fish cup, and handed it to Xu Wenjing again.

After Wei Ying put the fish into his mouth, Xu Wenjing took the opportunity to shut up and bite the chopsticks, chewed it carefully, and no matter how skillful Wei Ying was, her pretty face turned red again.

Seeing that Xu Wenjing's uncle refused to stick the chopsticks out of his mouth, Wei Ying finally couldn't help asking: "Xu Aiqing, when will you bite?"

After hearing this, Xu Wenjing reluctantly spit out the chopsticks and said to Wei Ying: "Sorry, Your Highness, the princess, is a little lost in his mind just now. This is the first time that such treatment is in this life..."

Wei Ying lowered her head and smiled, put it on the chopsticks and said to Xu Wenjing, "Xu Aiqing, let me leave Shendu with you and go north to take refuge. This is not a big problem, but I am afraid of Liu Ce,

When I was in the Far East, I didn’t have a good time with me, and I don’t know if he would use this to make things difficult for me…”

Xu Wenjing smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, the Chief of Military Admiral is not such a stingy person. It has been so many years since then, so how could he take such trivial matters to heart?

What's more, with the help of the princess, you will definitely protect your princess. Please rest assured that if your princess decides to set off, we will have to set out tomorrow morning..."

Wei Ying nodded: "I can only rely on you, Aiqing, now, and wait until you arrive in the north..."

Xu Wenjing said, "When I arrive in the north, I will settle down the princess. I will definitely not let you suffer any grievances. Without further ado, I will take my leave first and pack my luggage..."

Wei Ying looked at her with a light chin: "Then it will be a blessing for Xu Aiqing..."

After watching Xu Wenjing leave, Wei Ying sighed slightly, looked at the fish soup in the cup, and spoke to the door: "Come on, get a pot of wine for me..."

...

March 11, Long River Fortress.

Gu Qian's 20,000 new troops arrived at the front line in early March. After a little renovation, he began to plan a counterattack against Huang Fu.

"Reported to General Gu, Qin Zongquan, the troops of Huang Fu, have gathered a large army twenty miles outside the Changhe City. I am afraid that they will launch an offensive against Changhe soon!"

Above the city, Deputy General Meng Jian accurately reported to Gu Qian the enemy situation found outside Changhe City, and suggested: "General Gu, should we strengthen the defense of the city blocks so as not to worsen the situation?"

Gu Qian shook his head and said, "There is only a dead end to defend here, and the only way to take the initiative to attack has a slight chance of winning!"

Meng Jian frowned: "But, the enemy is numerous and we are few. If you make a rash attack at this time, the consequences will be unimaginable..."

Gu Qian remained silent when he heard this. He also knew how huge the risk he took to abandon the pass and attack at this moment, but with the current situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty, he could no longer decide on his own.

Since Gu Qian's army entered the long river, it has received three decrees from Wei Ran. Although it was not stated clearly, there is an urgent need to make Gu Qian immediately calm the situation in the southern part of the decrees.

However, the situation south of the Long River has far exceeded everyone's estimates. Even Gu Qian did not expect that Huang Fu's power would expand to this extent, which was even stronger than Duan Hong back then. The plan to take the initiative to attack was actually beginning to shake when Gu Qian arrived at the Long River.

In order to appease Wei Ran, Gu Qian could only decide to launch a tentative attack on Huang Fu's troops, so that Wei Ran and the court could understand that the situation was bad and that the original plan could no longer adapt to the current needs...

After a while, Gu Qian said: "You can send a battalion soldiers to mix with the local defenders of Changhe to launch an attack on Qin Zongquan's troops.

If Qin Zongquan is defeated, he can take the forefront and set up a stronghold to defend himself. If the attack is frustrated, he can also give an explanation to the court.

In short, no matter what, you must contact Huang Fu once so that you can find out the strength of the enemy and make the most correct deployment..."

Meng Jian shook his head and said, "But the soldiers who went out of the city to fight will be in danger. At least tens of thousands of people from Qin Zongquan's troops have gathered in the suburbs of the city, and my new army in one battalion is only 2,000..."

"The new army is different from the old army..." Gu Qian said, "The new army is well-equipped and has been in formation training for two months. In addition, it has not been arrears of money, so it is not necessary to fight. With the cooperation of local defenders, as long as there is no accident, even if you fail to win, you can escape calmly."

Meng Jian said with concern: "It's still too risky. Those Changhe defenders were not trained enough, and they were mobilized from the Shenwu Army. The army was in a low mood. This morale was simply not comparable to the new army..."

Gu Qian said: "I can't take care of that much now. No matter how difficult it is ahead, we must work together to overcome this difficulty!"

Meng Jian sighed: "Since General Gu has made up his mind, then I will arrange for the horses to go to the expedition..."

"I will go with you, go..." Gu Qian said.

The two of them walked down the city wall and walked towards the camp of the defenders. When they arrived at the camp, they saw an extremely decadent scene.

“Big ~ Big ~ Big ~”

A group of soldiers gathered together to gamble, and couldn't help but make heart-wrenching shouts. The pair of fanatical eyes made Gu Qian's heart sank and shook his head in disappointment.

On the other side, two defenders leaned numbly against the camp, one of them snuggled up in the arms of the other thin soldier with his upper body naked, his expression making people disgusting.

The trend of good men was popular in the entire Changhe Guards' barracks. First of all, the people of Changhe moved north on a large scale due to wars, and even women with customs could not find one.

This caused the young soldiers who had not received physical satisfaction for a long time to have a strong psychological distortion. While they were bored and bored, they naturally turned their attention to the new recruits with good faces.

“Buzz buzz…”

After walking through half of the military camp, a sound of flies waving their wings echoed. Looking closely, I saw a camp gate full of domestic garbage, and flocks of flies surrounded the above.

Gu Qian couldn't help but cover his nose and passed by. Hygiene problems also plagued the entire Changhe defense line. Since he arrived in Changhe, Gu Qian has discovered that many people in the army have fallen due to epidemics, and many defenders on the defense line even fell ill together. The scene of hundreds of people vomiting and diarrhea still makes Gu Qian feel scared...

The soldiers in the army were so decadent that almost all the soldiers were numb and insensitive, which made Gu Qian feel very sad. He never thought that the soldiers of the Great Zhou were so corrupt that he wanted to rectify the military style, but he had no time at the moment.

If military discipline is strictly enforced at this time, the consequences will be unimaginable if the soldiers mutiny. Even if Gu Qian is a decent person, he will understand this principle, which is one of the reasons why he cannot take the initiative.

"Surp...surp...surp..."

After passing this old military camp, Gu Qian and his friends could hear a sound of sharpening their knives.

This is a camp of the new army, which is only two steps away from the old army before, but the atmosphere inside is much more comfortable than the old army. At least you can see a strong army here.

Gu Qian and Meng Jian came to the soldiers who were sharpening their knives, and did not disturb them, but looked at them quietly.

"General Gu, General Meng..."

A soldier still noticed Gu Qian and Meng Jian, and immediately stood up and called them, alarming everyone around him.

Gu Qian hurriedly raised his hand and pressed it down, saying to them: "You don't have to worry about me, just go ahead and go..."

After appeased the soldiers, Gu Qian sighed and walked and said to Meng Jian: "You are right. The Changhe Guards cannot rely too much. The key to dealing with Huang Fu is to rely on this new army.

Unfortunately, time is too hasty, and the craftsmen keep adding points day and night, and only barely get two thousand five hundred pairs of iron armor. I am afraid they can't handle the large-scale battle..."

"It's already good..." Meng Jian comforted, "Looking at the entire Great Zhou, only the military governor's office in the north can be beautiful..."

"It's far from it..." Gu Qian shook his head, "I have seen the military appearance of the Military Governor's Office with my own eyes. Even the auxiliary barracks have a iron armor rate of more than 30%, not to mention the official barracks fighting on the front line..."

Meng Jian sighed and said, "I don't know how the military governor forged so many iron armors. I feel my scalp numb even if I think about it..."

Gu Qian said: "I won't say so much, I'm going to convene the expedition camp department and quickly defeat the Qin Zongquan headquarters first."

"Abide by the order!"

...

At the same time, an uninvited guest was welcomed in the main business occupied by Huangfu.

"Caomin Law, I have met the King of Chu!"

In the big tent, a young man over 34 or 5 years old was kneeling in front of Huangqiu with bright eyes.

Huang Fu smiled and stepped forward, helped Fa Yang up and said, "Sir, please get up quickly. I have heard of Mr.'s name for him. Ten years ago, when Mr. Lobbying in the South,

I have also been to listen to your class. Come on, come on, sir, please give me a seat. I just have some ways of governing the country and want to ask you for advice. I hope sir will give you advice..."

Fa Yang smiled and said, "The King of Chu is so serious. It is the honor of Cao people to be able to serve the King of Chu. Cao people also hope to devote all their lifelong knowledge to practice..."

Huang Fu nodded and asked, "Sir, now I am accommodating the three provinces of Jingchu and Qinghu in the south. I have more than 700,000 troops under my command. I will be able to defeat Shendu soon.

However, I still have a lot of worries in my heart, that is, it is easy to conquer the world and difficult to govern the world. How to govern the world, please help me solve my problems for me..."

Huang Fu never doubted that he was not capable of conquering the capital, but at this point, every hero wanted to find a way for the dynasty he established to build for generations, and Huang Fu was no exception.
