After the morning meeting, Chu Han unexpectedly returned to Fengyi Palace very early.
"Why aren't you in the imperial study? The ministers didn't look for you?" Xie Yao was a little surprised when she saw Chu Han.
In the past, when a country attacked the border, ministers would debate endlessly whether to fight or to make peace.
"Did you also hear about the emergency report coming from the border? The matter has been settled in the court, so there is no need to look for me anymore." Chu Han walked over as usual, drank a cup of tea, and then started to eat the refreshments on the table.
.
It was as if he was not the one being attacked by the three countries at the same time.
"Has it been resolved? No argument?" Xie Yao was even more surprised.
Can the ministers' opinions be unified?
"There is no debate. Everyone has the same point of view. Fight back! The only problem is that some people advocate using cannons to attack Dongao State, others advocate using cannons to attack Nanling State, and some people advocate using cannons to attack Nanzhao State. Before I tell you
After they have three cannons, no one will have any objections." Chu Han said casually, as casually as telling a story.
"They all said that as long as they had cannons, they would definitely win the war, so no one said they wanted to negotiate a peace."
Xie Yao laughed when he heard this.
It turned out that the cannon she built gave the ministers courage.
"Thanks to you, today's morning session was the most comfortable I've ever had." Chu Han praised with a smile.
Xie Yao twitched the corners of her mouth and raised her eyebrows, "With the three cannons built later, isn't there a total of four?"
"Tell them that if there is one more cannon, they will have to fight over which country to use two cannons. I don't want to care about them." A trace of impatience clearly flashed on Chu Han's face, and then his smile faded and he said seriously: "But because
We have to deal with the Three Kingdoms' attack, and we don't have time to deal with the Miao territory in a short period of time."
We decided to take action against Miao territory last night, but now we have to postpone it.
"You can arrange this kind of thing. I'm only responsible for lighting the cannons." Xie Yao blinked at Chu Han.
She had no intention of participating in the marching and fighting matters.
Moreover, she had already taught a group of people how to fire cannons, so when the two armies faced off, there was no need for her to fire cannons herself.
She is just a little strange. Are all the other three countries fools?
Miao Jiang clearly had other plans. Instead of accumulating some troops to deal with Miao Jiang, the three countries always attacked Wanqi Kingdom. Could it be that in their eyes, Wanqi Kingdom was more vicious than Miao Jiang?
A few days later, the army was ready to go, and the troops were divided into three groups to deal with the invasion of the three countries.
Each soldier carried a cannon.
What was different from the past was that Xie Wenwu stayed in the capital and let the young generals that General Xie brought back before lead the expedition.
The civil and military officials protested at first, but the protest was ineffective and was vetoed by Chu Han.
Xie Yao didn't need to follow the army and fire cannons. In his spare time, he went out of the palace to find Liang Zhixian.
Liang Zhixian promised before that he would make more small clothes and shoes when he went back. Now he has made a batch and was going to send it to the palace.
Xie Yao refused directly and immediately left the palace to get it.
Because she wanted to take the things back with her own hands and give it a try to see whether Xiao Chushu was really a coincidence last time or if she really had some thoughts.
When they arrived at Liang Zhixian's residence, the servants all recognized Xie Yao and saluted him one after another without stopping him.
Moreover, Liang Zhixian had given instructions in advance to bring Xie Yao in if she arrived.
"Queen, please come this way." A servant led Xie Yao inside.
Xie Yao was actually already familiar with the roads here, so she walked very quickly.
As soon as I walked out for a while, I saw a man walking towards me.
The man has a Chinese character face, a serious expression, and is walking as fast as flying.
Because Xie Yao was wearing casual clothes when leaving the palace, when the man saw Xie Yao, he just looked at her politely, and then left without looking away.
Xie Yao stood still, turned around and followed the man's back, feeling strange in her heart.
Why would a man appear in Liang Zhixian's house?
She knew Liang Zhixian so well that she wished she could replace all the servants in the house with women!
The servants saw Xie Yao standing still and turned around. They did not dare to make a sound to urge him and stood quietly.
After the man's back disappeared, Xie Yao turned around and asked the servant, "Who is this man? Why have I never seen him in Zhixian's house?"
"Replying to the Queen, that person is from the Yunxiao Chamber of Commerce..." the servant spoke, about to answer.
"Don't talk nonsense." Liang Zhixian appeared at some point and stopped the servant. Then he took Xie Yao's arm and said, "You came just in time. The clothes and shoes have been prepared. I will take you over to take a look."
Xie Yao glanced at Liang Zhixian, the corner of her mouth curled up slightly, and without saying anything, they went to look at the small clothes together.
After reading it, Xie Yao asked someone to wrap up all the clothes and shoes, and then asked: "I remember that the Yunxiao Chamber of Commerce is not affiliated with any country, but is outside the country. Its shops are all over the country, and its financial resources are not enough
Look down upon.”
"What do they want to do when they send people to find you? Talk about cooperation?"
Hearing this, Liang Zhixian lowered his head and went to pack the small clothes himself, saying, "You guessed it right, you came here to discuss cooperation, but I refused."
"Why refuse? In the capital city, even the Yunxiao Chamber of Commerce will bow its head and let you take the lead. Why not!" Xie Yao had clearly told Liang Zhixian a long time ago that other places dare not say it, but the capital city will definitely do it.
Focus on Liang Zhixian.
"It's good that my family is the only one, so why let them take a share of the pie? Let's not talk about them. After you get these little clothes back, you must tell me how little Chushu behaves! I'm very curious, will he be like last time?
That way, we have to occupy the entire package." Liang Zhixian directly changed the topic.
"Okay, I'll tell you." Xie Yao thought of the last scene, slightly curved her lips, and agreed.
The two chatted for a while before Xie Yao returned to the palace with her things.
However, as soon as people arrived at Fengyi Palace, they heard news from the front line.
All three groups of soldiers and horses won a complete victory under the power of the cannon!
But there is one strange thing!
The defeated soldiers did not flee to their own country immediately, but ran to the hinterland of Wanqi Country.
This was the case for both Dongao and Nanling. Only the soldiers of Nanzhao fled to their own country after being defeated.
"What's the reason for this? Can anyone find out?" Xie Yao frowned upon hearing this, not knowing what secret was hidden in it.
"It hasn't been found out yet. However, the royal family of Dong'ao Kingdom suddenly issued an imperial edict, saying that this attack was a private act of the leading general and had nothing to do with the royal family of Dong'ao Kingdom." When Wu Feng said this, he felt strange in his heart. "
I didn’t expect that Dong Ao Country can’t afford to lose so much!”
Dong Aoguo has been defeated more than once, but this is the first time to say this, and I don’t even dare to admit it!
Xie Yao raised her eyebrows, a little curious, "When did the Emperor of Dong'ao Kingdom issue the imperial edict?"
"Before the two armies are about to fight."
"After the battle, will there be reinforcements in Dong'ao Kingdom?"
"No. There were only those soldiers in Dong'ao Country. After they were dispersed, they all fled into the hinterland of our Wanqi Country. No one wanted to escape back to Dong'ao Country."
