By the time Han Yunxi finished reading the letters, she could tell that the main problem in Western Zhou was the various generals fighting for merits. Was Long Feiye going to urge her to sleep? He could only keep chatting with her!
He had to admit that compared to Baili Yuanlong and the other rash generals, he much preferred discussing politics with Han Yunxi. For one thing, it saved him the trouble of explaining too much; for another, this woman could always come up with a plan that would surprise him.
On the Western Zhou battlefield, Emperor Kang Cheng had once invaded Tianning's borders, but retreated to defend his own borders when he saw that the situation wasn't looking good. Since then, the two armies had been in a standoff ever since. Long Fei Ye hadn't stationed many troops at the western borders, mainly relying on the Chu Clan troops. After the Chu Clan troops rebelled, Long Fei Ye transferred a few troops to the western borders. Currently, the western borders were occupied by the Baili Clan, the Ning Clan troops, and two or three other armies stationed in the central and western regions. As long as Long Fei Ye gave the order, any of the western armies would be able to break through Western Zhou's defensive lines. Within a year, they would be able to reach the imperial capital and cripple the imperial family.
Long Fei Ye had been so busy that he hadn't given the order yet. The generals began to try to figure out Long Fei Ye's intentions, trying to figure out who Long Fei Ye would send to attack Western Zhou and gain military merits. In the future, who would be stationed in Western Zhou to control the forces of Western Zhou?
But no one could figure out Long Fei Ye's thoughts. Thus, these people began to take the initiative and write letters to volunteer, hoping to become the commander of the western expedition.
At first, it was the Baili Army and the Ning Clan troops who fought for the position. Later on, some of the central and western regions received the support of the local clans and financial groups and joined the fray.
The Baili Clan and the Di Clan's Ning Clan had always been in conflict, so there was no need to talk about it. As for the local powers, they were simply afraid that the western regions would fall into the hands of the Baili Army or the Ning Clan troops. If that happened, they wouldn't be able to keep their position as local hegemons.
If it was in the past, the Long Fei Ye could still assign a suitable army for the expedition to the west. But now, faced with a pile of volunteer letters, the Long Fei Ye had to weigh the pros and cons and seriously consider it.
"The trap I set up is a good one," Han Yunxi said with a smile.
In fact, Long Fei Ye already had an idea of the situation on the western battlefield. However, he was willing to listen to Han Yunxi's opinion.
"What will it take for you to speak?" he asked.
Han Yunxi hadn't even kept him in suspense, but he had seen through her.
Han Yunxi smiled slyly. "Just one condition! I guarantee that you won't lose out. "
"Speak." Long Fei Ye smiled helplessly.
"Take me to the army!" Han Yunxi was very serious.
Although Long Fei Ye hadn't arranged to leave the Medical City yet, she guessed that he would send her to nurse the baby and wouldn't let her run around with him.
As expected, Long Fei Ye's face turned serious at her words.
"I have no objections if you want to find a few more Zhao mama to follow you. I'll be good and listen to you. I'll eat what I need to eat and sleep when I need to sleep, as long as you take me and the baby! "Han Yunxi said seriously.
Long Fei Ye looked at her silently. Han Yunxi grew nervous and said, "I can agree to any condition as long as you let me follow you. Long Fei Ye, you definitely won't go to the western battlefield. You won't go to Northern Li either. You'll probably stay with the Tianning army. "
Long Fei Ye arched a brow at her. "You're so sure?"
"You'll have to stay with the Tianning army for at least two to three months. You'll only come to the south to accompany me during the New Year, right?" Right? "Han Yunxi asked next.
Long Feiye dearly wanted to tell her that wasn't the case, but that really was his plan.
"So, you …"
Before Han Yunxi could finish, Long Fei Ye interrupted her. He took her hand and said seriously, "There's too much work to do in the army. I'm afraid it'll affect your rest. Moreover, the army is stationed far away from the city and is lacking in resources … "
As he spoke, he lovingly rubbed her nose and said helplessly, "I'm afraid you and the baby won't be able to eat anything good."
Han Yunxi arched a brow at him and said, "Excuses! None of that is a problem! Tell me, do you think a pregnant woman like me is too troublesome? "
Long Fei Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had no answer.
Seeing Long Fei Ye's reaction, Han Yunxi was secretly delighted. She knew this move … would definitely work!
She put on an aggrieved expression. "Fine, fine. I won't talk to you anymore. You can throw me anywhere you want. I'm going to sleep … "
Han Yunxi really lay down and turned her back to him to "sleep".
Long Fei Ye finally understood that this woman's real motive for going to the study tonight wasn't to share his burden but to take the opportunity to talk to him about whether he should stay or leave!
He looked at her back view and frowned. He didn't say anything for a long time.
No matter how noisy the army was or how scarce resources were, as long as he was willing to, he could take good care of her. He was only worried about the biggest problem, which was that if she knew too much, she would be overworked and wouldn't be able to relax and rest properly. Just like the issue of fighting for merits in the Western Battlefield, there would be a lot of power struggles and conflicts that would erupt from the army.
Long Fei Ye frowned as he pondered. Han Yunxi, on the other hand, didn't sleep at all. She was waiting with her eyes wide open.
She counted silently from one to ten. She had already counted to seven. If she continued counting, she wouldn't be able to keep her cool.
But as soon as she counted to nine, Long Feiye scooted over.
He asked gently, "You said you wanted to set up a trap. What is it? Tell me quickly."
Han Yunxi was stunned at first, but she quickly turned around and was overjoyed. "You agree?"
"If you say it well, I'll agree. If you don't, you'll obediently wait for me at Jiangnan's Plum Blossom Garden, "Long Fei Ye said seriously.
Han Yunxi looked at him and couldn't help but burst out laughing. This guy was too obvious when he went easy on her. When had he ever been dissatisfied with a trap she had set up?
"Ask them to surrender!" Han Yunxi said seriously. "Just tell them that we don't want to use our troops and hope to get them to surrender."
When she said this, Long Fei Ye looked at Han Yunxi again and again. He didn't know what to say to her.
He had originally wanted to let the generals each propose a strategy and choose one in the end.
However, Han Yunxi's move was even more ruthless! He didn't give any orders and didn't make any decisions. He just expressed his attitude and let his subordinates fight for it. In the end, the great responsibility of conquering Western Zhou would naturally fall on the shoulders of whoever had the ability to recruit the Western Zhou army.
In fact, how to conquer Western Zhou and whose shoulders the great responsibility of conquering Western Zhou fell on were not the most important. The most important thing was that Long Fei Ye didn't need to directly express his opinion on this matter. If he didn't express his opinion directly, his subordinates wouldn't be able to figure out his true attitude towards the bias of the various factions in the army.
If the head of a family wanted to be stable, he had to be fair. It was the same for the ruler of a country.
However, no one could be truly fair. Whether it was on a single matter or the overall situation of a country, true fairness didn't exist. True fairness might not be the best way to rule a country.
Now that there were many things waiting to be done, the entire situation had been reshuffled, and the various factions were already fighting fiercely. At this time, what Long Fei Ye needed to do was to stand firmly in a position of fairness so that no one could guess his thoughts.
"What are you looking at? Did I say something wrong? "Han Yunxi asked.
Long Fei Ye smiled but didn't say anything. It was three parts helplessness and seven parts affection.
"Say something! What are you smiling about? "Han Yunxi was anxious. This guy should be able to understand the meaning of her words!
"It's a pity that you don't call yourself emperor," Long Fei Ye said seriously.
Han Yunxi was stunned at first, but then she smiled. "I prefer to help you give birth to children."
Long Fei Ye didn't say another word. He got up and left. Not long after, Han Yunxi heard him give orders to Xu Donglin. He had Xu Donglin order the Baili Li garrison within Tianning to find a quiet place to set up camp, prepare sufficient water and rations, send Zhao mama over, and make arrangements for the servants.
The stone in Han Yunxi's heart finally fell. She couldn't help but look forward to the coming days.
That night, Long Fei Ye kept watch by the bed, accompanying Han Yunxi. Han Yunxi read the letters with him. As she read and read, she didn't even know when she fell asleep, but she slept very peacefully.
In the dead of night.
Gu was startled awake from his sleep because Gu had appeared out of thin air beside his bed to take his pulse.
"What are you doing?!" Gu retracted his hand, a guarded expression on his face.
"You promised the princess before to let me take a good look after returning to Medical City. In the afternoon, the princess and His Highness both asked about this matter. "Gu Beiyue said seriously.
"Even if they asked in the afternoon, you didn't have to come in the middle of the night, did you?" Gu said unhappily.
"If I didn't look for you now, when would I find you?" Gu Beiyue retorted.
"Tomorrow morning! I'm going to sleep now, so I won't see you out. "Gu maintained a good-natured smile.
It would be strange if he could find him tomorrow morning!
Gu Beiyue couldn't find him in the morning, and even after returning from Clearbreeze Mountain in the afternoon, he still couldn't find him at night.
If he hadn't found him in the room tonight, he almost suspected that Gu had disappeared.
"I'm just taking your pulse, I won't disturb your sleep. Go ahead and sleep," Gu Beiyue said gently.
Gu's smile immediately fell. Cold, he said, "Gu Beiyue, are you going to scram or not?"
Gu Beiyue didn't answer. He grabbed Gu's hand and grabbed his wrist.
Gu Qishao used all his strength to break free and leap up. With two somersaults, he reached the door. "Bye!"
Gu Beiyue didn't chase after him. "Seventh Young Master, if you can't fulfill your promise to the princess, I can only alarm her."
Gu stopped when he heard this. He said word by word, "I'm fine! I won't die! "
"You can tell the princess yourself."
As soon as Gu Beiyue finished speaking, he appeared beside him and grabbed his shoulder. This time, Gu couldn't break free no matter how hard he tried. He could only compromise.
He didn't say anything. He impatiently turned back to the room, sat down, and stretched out his hand.
Gu Beiyue felt his pulse for a long time. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't pinpoint what it was. He asked seriously, "Seventh Young Master, your pulse is very special and different from ordinary people. This pulse may not be accurate. Do you still feel hungry these two days? "
"The food in your medical school is so good, why would I feel hungry?" Gu retorted.
"Do you feel tired? Do you feel powerless? "Gu Beiyue asked again.
