Xuanyuan Shao bowed and said, "Master, no matter what Chi Liandian is making, the Liaodong army has gathered at the foot of Yanshan Mountain. Whether they are really fighting or bluffing, we must deal with it with it with all our might."

Dingwu nodded slightly and said, "I have stationed 30,000 troops on the eastern front for defense. The Liaodong army wants to come over and cannot exert their cavalry advantages. However, recruiting mountain people to fight is not a good way." After pondering, he said, "I will issue an order to Wenpu, so that he can recruit mountain people nearby to join the army. The Liaodong army can do it, so we can naturally do this. Recruiting a mountain people army as a swimming force in the mountains to deal with the Liaodong army's mountain army. There are all obstacles and dangers, and we will stick to it with all our strength."

Xuanyuan Shao said: "What should I do on the other side of Yunshan? If Chu Huan gets the news that the Liaodong Army sent troops, will he come from the west?"

"I have sent 10,000 elite cavalry to Xishan Road." Dingwudao: "Send someone to tell Qiao Mingtang that Chu Huan lacks logistics. Even if he launches an offensive, as long as he holds Yunshan, Chu Huan can't hold on for long and cannot take Yunshan. Chu Huan dares not take a step towards Hexi. Let Qiao Mingtang and Feng Polu try their best to defend Yunshan, and tell them that I will dispatch reinforcements soon, and I will find a way to provide money and grain."

Xuanyuan Shao said: "Master, Xue Huaian went to Jinling, but I don't know if he could convince Xu Chang to be used by the court. If Xue Huaian successfully completes his mission, Chu Huan will definitely not dare to act rashly."

"I understand." Dingwu looked serious, "I just don't have too much expectations for Jinling, we must make the worst plan!" He clenched his fist with one hand, "No matter what, the Liaodong army cannot be allowed to cross Yanshan in the east, and Chu Huan must not be allowed to take Yunshan in the west." He raised his hand and said, "You go down first, I will summon all the ministers to discuss this matter carefully."

Xuanyuan Shao stood up and bowed his hand to retreat, Dingwu suddenly thought of something and said, "Yes, there is something, I still want to hear what you mean."

Xuanyuan Shao was stunned, Dingwu said, "Xuanyuan, you should know that I am about to establish a queen. What do you think about this?"

"I dare not." Xuanyuan Shao immediately said: "The emperor must be confident. After establishing himself, he can stabilize the world and appease the people."

Dingwu smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about it." He signaled Xuanyuan Shao to sit down again, and then said, "Xuanyuan, the origin of your Xuanyuan clan and my royal clan seems to be very long."

Xuanyuan Shao said cautiously: "The Lord has made a clear understanding that the Xuanyuan clan has been loyal to the Qin Dynasty for generations, and his loyalty can be expressed."

"I know." Dingwu sighed lightly: "You Xuanyuan clan has made great contributions to this day, and no one can erase it. Although the late emperor and your grandfather, Duke Yiguo, were named monarchs and ministers, were actually like brothers and sisters."

Xuanyuan Shao said: "The Qin Dynasty was so kind to me, Xuanyuan clan, and the Xuanyuan clan could not repay him even though he died." As if he thought of something, he stood up and said: "There is still something that has not been reported to the emperor yet."

"Oh?" Dingwu asked, "What's the matter?"

Xuanyuan Shao said seriously: "Xuanyuan Shengcai surrendered to the enemy and treason, and he was extremely guilty. I have not apologized to the emperor yet." He knelt on one knee, "I beg the emperor to sue him!"

Dingwu smiled and said, "Xuanyuan, he is far away in the northwest, bewitched by Chu Huan. You have been by my side. How can you know his thoughts? Xuanyuan Shengcai's crime has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to take it to heart. I ask myself that I am not a foolish king, and I know who is loyal and who is traitorous."

"The Lord is wise." Xuanyuan Shao said: "I have driven Xuanyuan Sheng out of the family according to the family rules. This person has nothing to do with my Xuanyuan clan. I swear to the Lord that as long as I see this person, I will take off the head of this person's neck with my own hands."

Dingwu smiled and raised his hand and said, "Get up and talk." After Xuanyuan Shao got up, he asked, "Embassination is a major event for the country. I have to discuss with the ministers when I look back. Before that, I want to hear what you mean first. Who do you think is the most suitable person?"

Xuanyuan Shao was stunned and said carefully: "Master, you only have Mrs. Liuli by your side now, and there are no other concubines!"

Dingwu stared at Xuanyuan Shao's eyes and asked, "You mean, should I establish Mrs. Liuli?"

Xuanyuan Shao looked up and looked at Liuli, but saw Liuli’s smile soft, and his charming green eyes were looking at him, deep and ethereal. Xuanyuan Shao was stunned for a moment. When Dingwu saw Xuanyuan Shao not speaking, he frowned and said, “Xuanyuan, why don’t you speak?”

"Master, I am brave enough to make a great deal of my post-post. I really have to think twice." Xuanyuan Shao's expression became serious.

"Think twice and act?" Dingwu looked calm, "Xuanyuan, tell me, how should I explain this so-called thinking twice and act?"

Xuanyuan Shao stared at Dingwu's eyes with a solemn expression, "Master, my Great Qin has fallen halfway. If you want to revive the Great Qin, you must use all the conditions that can be used. The matter of establishing the queen is not trivial. The emperor is wise and wise. I forgive me for saying that you can take advantage of the opportunity of establishing the queen and win over some forces for my Great Qin."

Dingwu and Xuanyuan Shao looked at each other with each other. Xuanyuan Shao did not dodge, and his eyes seemed very calm.

"Xuanyuan, I don't understand what you said." Dingwu pondered for a moment, and finally said, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Although I know that the emperor likes Mrs. Liuli, I am forgiving me to say that it will not benefit me, the Great Qin Dynasty, or even harm me." Xuanyuan Shao said seriously.

Dingwu looked a little surprised. Xuanyuan Shao was taciturn in daily life. Although he was the commander of the Guards, he rarely participated in political affairs. One branch had almost never expressed any opinions on national affairs. However, now regarding the founding queen, Xuanyuan Shao was so blunt, which was very different from his past temperament.

"What's the harm?" Dingwu remained calm.

Xuanyuan Shao bowed and said, "Master, Madam, I am presumptuous and blunt. Although Madam is favored by Madam, she is from a commoner. If she really wants to be a queen, she will probably criticize her from all over the world."

"Then who do you think should be made the queen?"

Xuanyuan Shao hesitated for a moment and finally said, "I dare not speak nonsense, but the forces we rely on under the current Qin Dynasty are Hexi and Yiman. If we select women from these two forces to enter the palace and make them queens, it will be of great benefit to our Qin Dynasty."

"Oh?" Dingwu smiled faintly and said, "Xuanyuan is indeed a successful country. If this is true, I have made Hexi people the queen, and I am afraid that the Yi barbarians will feel unhappy again."

Xuanyuan Shao glanced at Liuli and said, "The emperor is extremely worried about. I have a word and want to start the emperor."

"you say."

"Hexi is now under our control." Xuanyuan Shao said: "Although the Yiman chiefs are also under our control, I think it is not easy to control dozens of Yiman tribes by just controlling more than a dozen chiefs, and it is easy to cause changes. The Yiman cavalry is now considered an army that our Great Qin relies heavily on. If this army cannot be willing to use for our Great Qin, it will definitely cause great damage to our Great Qin's strength."

Dingwu nodded slightly and stared at Xuanyuan Shao.

"If I, the Great Qin, can make all the Yi barbarian soldiers and horses in Mobei use for my own use, the great cause of the emperor will definitely be twice the result with half the effort." Xuanyuan Shao said: "Using the Yi barbarians to suppress the rebellion can not only attack the rebellion forces, but also weaken the Yi barbarians' strength. It can be said that it will kill two birds with one stone."

Dingwu said slowly: "The Yi Barbarians and I have always been like water and fire. Now they have sent 20,000 iron cavalry, because I guaranteed that they could eat and drink enough, and gave their chief a very high gift. If we want to continue to mobilize their troops, we have to pay more. Raising their appetites is not the best strategy. And don't forget that the Yi Barbarian cavalry is a sharp blade for suppressing rebellion, but this sharp blade is a double-edged sword. Now the 20,000 Yi Barbarian cavalry are still under our control, but if we continue to mobilize troops to the south, we are afraid that even we will not be able to control it at that time."

Liuli didn't say anything, and at this moment he finally said softly: "Sage, most of the Yi barbarians are not educated. If they really mobilize too many troops, I'm afraid our people in the Qin Dynasty will suffer a lot."

Xuanyuan Shao shook his head and said, "Master, we don't need to continue to mobilize troops. We can let the Yi barbarians go east and enter Liaodong directly from the north."

Dingwudao: "If this is true, then I have always dreamed of it. However, the tribes of the Yiman tribes have deep hatred. There are only thirteen tribes who obey the dispatch of our Great Qin this time. Almost all the elite soldiers of these tribes have been transferred here. How can other tribes easily obey our orders?"

"This is related to the establishment of the emperor's queen." Xuanyuan Shao said: "If the emperor really sets the Yi barbarians as queen, for all the Yi barbarians, it will be more than just a tribe. In their hearts, it is my Central Plains Qin who accepted their Yi barbarians. Although they have always been enemies of us, they have always regarded us as the superior state of the Celestial Empire. A Yi barbarian woman who can become the queen of my Daqin will inevitably make them grateful."

Dingwu just looked at Xuanyuan Shao and didn't speak.

"The emperor sent an imperial envoy to Mobei to reward the leaders of various tribes and some items. They had no knowledge of them. If they were granted officials and wealth, they would be even more grateful. At that time, they would be ordered to attack Liaodong and issue an edict. Those who have made meritorious contributions will reward them. They will definitely do their best." Xuanyuan Shao sat upright and looked at Dingwu, "So I think that if a barbarian woman was appointed as the queen, it would be of great benefit to our Qin Dynasty."

"Make the Yi Barbarians the Queen!" Dingwu murmured to himself, then looked up at Xuanyuan Shao, "Are you talking about choosing one of the Yi Barbarians sent over to be the Queen?"

Xuanyuan Shao hesitated for a moment, and finally bowed: "Everything depends on the emperor."

"Since you have helped me think about this good idea, why don't you help me think about it again? Who should choose from the barbarian women?" Dingwu leaned against a wheelchair and looked at Xuanyuan Shao with no expression on his face, "Xuanyuan, you will never let me know, Snowflake Queen can be made the queen, right?"
