A world far vaster than the inner court?
Wei Jingxian only felt as if a piece of gravel had fallen into the lake of her heart with a plop, causing ripples that slowly spread.
Her nose suddenly felt a little sour, but she teased him with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that I'll be too busy with work and neglect you and Changsheng?"
Feng Jin smiled faintly. "If that's the case, won't you have more time to pay attention to me and Changsheng?"
Wei Jingxian blushed and spat softly. She said angrily, "We've been married for a few years. How are you old?"
Feng Jin laughed involuntarily. "We've only been married for a few years. How am I old?"
The couple was deeply affectionate and went to bed peacefully. The next day, Feng Jin went to the government office to report for work in high spirits.
Jiang Pengji had a bun in her mouth. When she saw Feng Jin come over, she smiled and teased him. "Tsk tsk, it's rare for Huaiyu to oversleep."
Feng Jin did not want to be outdone. He replied, "It's rare for my lord to be so diligent."
Jiang Pengji rolled her eyes and said shamelessly, "You're wrong. Your lord has always been so diligent."
If not for his upbringing, he really wanted to roll his eyes at her.
Doesn't this person's conscience hurt when she says this shamelessly?
His lord had always been a hands-off boss. Except for some documents that she had to approve, everything else was thrown to her subordinates. She was extremely capricious. If one wanted to meet her in the government office, one would either be extremely lucky that day or she would be bored.
Jiang Pengji yawned and continued to be in a deadlock with the piles of documents.
"Why is my lord so diligent today?" After Feng Jin sat down, he asked Wei Ci. Although Wei Ci did not seem to be in good health, he was always the first to arrive every day. His work efficiency was also admirable. "She has never liked to read these literary things."
Wei Ci laughed involuntarily. "I'm afraid my lord has had enough of such peaceful days. She can't wait to send troops to Fengyi County."
He did not dare to say that he knew this woman very well, but he still understood some of her temperament.
Although comfort was something people yearned for, it would lead to laziness after a long time, and this woman hated laziness the most.
He said helplessly, "But … the troops brought by Maiden Jiang and the original soldiers need time to get used to each other."
The two thousand troops that Jiang Nongqin brought were not rookies. They were definitely one of the main forces to attack Fengyi.
He was worried that his side would be at a disadvantage if he rashly dragged them to the battlefield before they had gotten used to each other.
Wei Ci said with a natural expression, "So, isn't my lord looking for something to do because she's bored?"
On one side, Jiang Pengji was sharpening her sword to attack the Tsing Yi Army in Fengyi County. On the other side of the battlefield, there was already a stalemate.
In the south, Prince Changshou's expression became increasingly ugly.
In spring, he raised his troops to besiege Chenzhou in the name of "purging the emperor's evil followers." He thought that he would be unstoppable, but the result was unexpected.
Chenzhou, which he had expected to be easily taken down, was actually a hard bone to chew.
He thought he could easily take over Chenzhou and force the Emperor to abdicate. He didn't expect that not only would Chenzhou's troops be blocked at the border of Chenzhou, but a few battlefields would also put him under great pressure. After three days, they had lost a total of five thousand soldiers.
"That Colonel Huang must have received guidance from an expert. He's quite skilled in the art of war. If we want to take him down, I'm afraid we'll have to increase the number of troops. "
The strategist in the tent carefully read the information sent by the spy. His brows relaxed slightly, but then he frowned a little, as if he was very troubled.
They didn't know which expert was guiding them, but they were always one step ahead of them in guessing their intentions. They rarely fought head-on and mainly used sneak attacks and harassment. They worked hard to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, which seriously hindered the pace of Prince Changshou's attack.
Prince Changshou brought hundreds of thousands of troops to besiege Chenzhou. Every day, he had to spend a huge amount of rations. After a winter, he thought that Chenzhou had run out of ammunition and rations. He thought that they could take over Chenzhou with minimal losses and become the ruler of Dongqing. He would be crowned the Emperor …
But reality gave Prince Changshou a hard slap in the face. Not only was Chenzhou not weak, but it was even on par with them.
He wanted to take over Chenzhou in one go after spring, but he didn't expect to stumble.
"Haha, what Colonel Huang? He's just the son of a eunuch." Prince Changshou curled his lips in disdain.
Colonel Huang, Huang Song, was Secretary Huang's godson.
Huang Song was originally the patrol of Shangjing. During the earthquake in Shangjing last year, he immediately led the patrol troops to rescue many important ministers and their relatives.
Even if these people despised Huang Song's background, they couldn't help but praise him for saving their lives.
With this help, Huang Song's official career became bright. Later, he even became the colonel of the imperial guards who was in charge of 5,000 troops.
When Prince Changshou attacked Chenzhou, Huang Song volunteered to fight. The Emperor was very happy and had a higher opinion of him.
Therefore, the battlefield on the left side of Chenzhou was led by Huang Song. It was also the most difficult part to deal with so far. Although Prince Changshou's troops were much more than Huang Song's, after a few battles, Prince Changshou's side lost more than 5,000 troops.
Even if Prince Changshou had some results in the middle and right sides, compared to the losses on the left side, he was still at a disadvantage.
The strategist sighed and said, "A hero doesn't care about his background. Even if you don't like to hear it, this Huang Song is indeed worthy of your attention."
Prince Changshou's face darkened. A look of disgust flashed across his face. "Do you have a way to get rid of this fellow?"
The strategist's expression didn't change, but he already felt some disgust in his heart.
Previously, Prince Changshou had humiliated him in front of a battalion commander. Now, he was bossy and bossy, without the slightest bit of respect …
He secretly spat. Prince Changshou hadn't ascended the throne yet, but he already couldn't wait to tear off the facade of a wise ruler who was respectful to the wise.
That was what he thought in his heart, but he didn't dare to continue angering Prince Changshou.
"If it's a head-on battle, and he has the guidance of an expert behind him, Colonel Huang won't be easy to deal with …" The strategist raised his brows. He already had a vicious plan in his heart. His tone was cold and harsh. "But it's not difficult to transfer him away from the battlefield."
Prince Changshou paused and said, "As long as he's transferred away, it'll be easy to deal with Huang Song after we conquer Chenzhou … Just tell me what your plan is. If it's feasible, send someone to do it now!"
The strategist endured the restlessness and disgust in his heart and said calmly, "There's no need to trouble others. You only need my lord to write a sincere solicitation letter and promise as many benefits as you can."
Prince Changshou didn't understand. Could a verbal promise coax Huang Song over?
The strategist thought to himself that he had a pig-like lord. His brain was so slow that it couldn't work.
"It's not to rope Huang Song in. It's just to make the Emperor fear Huang Song and even want to kill him." The strategist said concisely, in case Prince Changshou didn't understand. "The Emperor is extremely suspicious. Huang Song's reputation in the army is rising day by day. If there's news that my lord wants to recruit Huang Song, even if the Emperor doesn't kill Huang Song, he won't let him stay at the front line. As for Huang Song … "
The strategist paused and swallowed the rest of his words.
This Huang Song wasn't an ordinary person.
Was he blindly loyal to the Emperor and unchanging … or did he run away with his men when he saw the situation wasn't good?
