Chapter 221 Chapter Three

The next day, Xiang Shaolong took the excuse of recuperating from his injuries, and led his lovely wife, Aier, and eighteen iron guards back to the pasture. Teng Yi personally led the troops to escort them, and with the consent of Xiao Pan and Lord Changping, when Xiang Shaolong was away, Teng Yi would be in charge of the army At the same time, Wu Guo replaced Guoxing. If it was in the past, it would not be able to pass Lu Buwei's test.But now as long as Xiaopan does not object, the appointment and transfer of military posts will be in the hands of the Taiwei, Mr. Changping. Of course, Lu Buwei is still a prime minister with real power, but because of the current division of positions, if he wants to intervene in some matters, he will exceed his authority.

No one is willing to give up the power they have gained, so Lu Buwei made a final struggle to join forces with Du Bi and Pu Ji. The struggle is still in the ascendant. After galloping out of Xianyang City, Ji Yanran patted her horse and came to Xiang Shaolong's side, and said with concern: "They want me to ask my husband if the wound is still hurting?" Teng Yi on the other side smiled and said, "Yanran doesn't want to know?" Ji Yanran coquettishly said, "Second brother is laughing at me." Xiang Shaolong saw her demeanor so charming and charming, he couldn't help but feel happy, and said with a smile: "A few flesh and blood injuries are nothing to worry about."

Teng Yi said thoughtfully: "When you return to the ranch, you must be on your guard. I'm really afraid that Lu Buwei will take the risk and launch a surprise attack again, or send people through Du Bi and Pu Ji to deal with you." Ji Yanran said: "Prince Chu and Lord Changping are just finishing research on how to implement the military system, since Lu Buwei appeared on the stage, they misused the former king's favor and trust in him to make the soldiers not follow the rules and regulations set by Lord Yang, and privately held the seal to mobilize the army. If we can get rid of this bad habit, Lu Buwei will never want to send troops to deal with us again. What if we want to! We have to send out generals."

Since the reform of Shang Yang in Qin State, the monarch has extremely strict control over the army, and implemented the system of seals, symbols, and festivals. The seal is the imperial seal of the monarch. Any military orders and government affairs that are not stamped with the imperial seal are invalid.However, since Xiao Pan has not yet been crowned, it must be stamped with the seal of Empress Dowager Zhu Ji to be valid. The talisman is a tiger talisman, made of copper, with an inscription engraved on the back, divided into two halves, held by the monarch and the generals, and must be issued by the monarch. Under the pretext of building the Zhengguo Canal and coping with the continuous war, Meng Ao and other soldiers refused to return the amulets.In many cases, his seal was used instead of Xiao Pan and Zhu Ji's seal, disrupting and replacing the power of the monarch.

The festival refers to the pass issued by the monarch. Any long-distance army transfer must be held in order to be unimpeded. Seals, talismans, and festivals are indispensable, otherwise they will not take effect.This method must be followed in conjunction with the mobilization of troops of more than 50 men.However, Lu Buwei's high-handedness has gradually broken this established law since the time of King Zhuang Xiang, and now Xiao Pan is finally able to set things right by taking advantage of the black dragon's momentum. Teng Yi frowned and said, "But it still doesn't have much effect on generals like Meng Ao who have been guarding the frontier fortress for a long time."

Ji Yanran smiled and said: "Although this doesn't control the border guards who are equipped with seals and seals, at least we don't have to worry about a large army coming to invade the pasture. With Huan Jue's quick aid, I'm afraid we should have a better life!" Xiang Shaolong said with a hearty smile: "However, if the talented girl Ruoji wants to use the hot spring water to wash off her fat, it's better to be careful on the way." Ji Yanran groaned and said, "Slide in the hot spring to cleanse the fat, alas! Your husband really speaks so well that Yanran's heart can't be moved!"

Xiang Shaolong was overjoyed, and sang "The hot spring water slides and washes the fat, it's the time when he first received grace", and went to flatter his horse. ◇◇◇◇◇◇ For the following period of time, Xiang Shaolong lived a pleasant time.After practicing the knife every day, he would travel to the mountains and rivers with his wife, maidservant and Ai'er, or practice riding and archery diligently. In his free time, he would study the art of war in Mo's Addendum, or discuss the situation of the world with Ji Cainv to increase his knowledge in all aspects. and know.

Watching Bao'er grow stronger and taller day by day, the satisfaction and happiness cannot be replaced by other things. Wu Yingyuan, the father-in-law, is busy taking care of Wu Zhuo outside the Great Wall, and goes out to do goods from time to time.Tao Fang would go back to the ranch every once in a while to tell him the latest news about Xianyang. During this period, he only went back to Xianyang twice, that was to preside over the grand wedding banquet of Jing Jun and Lu Dan'er, and to attend the wedding of Yang Duanhe and Ying Ying. Unknowingly, summer turned to autumn, Wangling and Lord Changping suddenly came to the ranch to see him on this day, seeing him after a long absence, everyone was very happy.

After the dinner, when Wang Ling and Lord Changping chatted with him in the hall, the former said solemnly: "The prince will be seventeen years old in a few months, and it's time to accept the concubine. Lu Buwei insisted on accepting the little princess of the Qi Kingdom." As a concubine, we are strongly opposed." Xiang Shaolong already knew that the two of them had come from afar, and there must be something important, so he heard the words: "How does the Empress Dowager think about this matter?" Mr. Changping smiled bitterly and said, "It should be to see what Lai Ai thinks and thinks. Last month, the Empress Dowager suddenly went to Yongdu. Before that, she hadn't participated in the court meeting for more than ten days. Lai Ai seems to have become her spokesperson. .”

Xiang Shaolong secretly sighed in his heart, of course he knew that Zhu Ji avoided going to Yongdu, so as not to let anyone find out that she gave birth to a child for Lai Ai. Shen Sheng asked: "Did Lao Ai accompany her?" Wang Ling shook his head and said: "No! Now he and Lu Buwei are arguing fiercely, how can he leave easily?" Judging from the faces of the two of them, one could tell that they were suspicious of Zhu Ji's sudden departure from Xianyang. He tentatively said: "The candidate for the concubine in both of your minds is Miss He's family?"

Wang Ling said: "Wang Yan's granddaughter, Meixiu, has just turned fifteen years old this year. She has a beautiful face, a virtuous personality, and knowledge of books and etiquette. No other woman is more suitable to be a concubine than her." Xiang Shaolong agreed: "If this is the case, it is indeed very ideal, but it is best to arrange for the prince to meet her first, so that the prince can see it well, so we can talk. The only worry is that the queen mother will not agree." Lord Changping said: "This is exactly the reason why we came to find Shaolong. We have consulted the Empress Dowager on this matter many times, and when the Empress Dowager left Xianyang, she once told the prince that when she was away, Shaolong could take care of everything for her. idea." Xiang Shaolong said in astonishment: "There is such a thing!" Wang Ling said: "This is what the prince himself said, and the queen mother also told him that she trusts Shaolong's vision and insight the most." Xiang Shaolong suddenly came to his senses, he knew that there must be someone else in Lai Ai's heart, Zhu Ji won't let him go, and also knew that if he followed Lai Ai's words, his relationship with Xiao Pan would get worse, so he pushed the matter onto himself .Under the current situation and relationship, even Lao Ai had no choice but to sell him to Xiang Shaolong. Xiang Shaolong happily said: "Then do it according to your ideas, alas, are you going to escort me back to Xianyang?" The two smiled when they heard the words. Lord Changping suddenly changed the topic again and said, "Mr. Xinling and King Anli died within two days. The crown prince Zeng became the king of Wei, and the queen is Shan Meimei." Xiang Shaolong's heart trembled, although he and Lord Xinling were enemies but not friends, they were still deeply saddened by the news of his death.From now on, Mrs. Pingyuan and Mr. Shaoyuan will have a difficult life. Wang Ling said: "Lian Po really fled to Chu State, it is said that Lord Longyang let him go, otherwise he might be buried with Mr. Wuji." Xiang Shaolong tried his best not to think about these helpless things, and asked, "What's happened to Lu Buwei recently?" Lord Changping sighed: "Lv Buwei and Lao Ai now have a small quarrel for three days, and a big quarrel for ten days. Meng Ao led the army to attack Han, and took fifteen cities in a row, and his prestige increased dramatically. The Yan people and the Zhao people fought again. The Zhao people used Li Mu as their commander, the Yan people were no match, and both Wu Sui and Fangcheng were captured by Li Mu. Fortunately, the king of Zhao was afraid that Li Mu might become powerful, so he ordered him to stand still, otherwise he might have invaded Yanjing sooner.” Thinking of Prince Pill, Xiang Shaolong's head grew big, and he said in surprise, "Qi Yan didn't go to war, but Zhao Yan fought for the front. What's the matter?" Wang Ling said: "We don't know for sure. It seems that it is still a land dispute. After the Yan people united with Chu, they wanted to get back the land they had won from the Zhao people, so they started a dispute again." Lord Chang Ping added: "Now Meng Ao is more intensive, and with the support of Lu Buwei, we are planning to attack Wei. We all strongly disapprove, because sooner or later this matter will lead to another alliance of the five kingdoms, but Meng Ao is outside. Lu Buwei insisted that if he does not continue to use troops, it will be difficult to maintain his strength, and it will be difficult for the three eastern counties to hold on. It is difficult for us to refute him, and after the alliance between Han and Wei, they are indeed eager to move and have evil intentions. Wang Lu is now in Zhao The border of the country, so that it is difficult for the Zhao people to move rashly." Lord Changping said: "Your Chu once mentioned that he hoped that Shaolong could lead the army, so as not to cause Meng Ao to become more powerful and make it harder for me to shake Lu Buwei." Xiang Shaolong smiled wryly and said, "Let's deal with the prince and concubine first! What kind of tricks have Du Bi and Pu Ji been up to lately?" Wang Ling said: "We are still focusing on expansion. Cheng Yu is constantly recruiting troops under the pretext of dealing with border defense, and with Pu Ji's financial support, there will always be troubles one day. Now we are fighting frequently in the east, and no one has time to pay attention to them. .” Xiang Shaolong sighed: "Drink! These matters will be resolved satisfactorily one day. I will go back to Xianyang with you tomorrow." The two were overjoyed. ◇◇◇◇◇◇ Three months later, Zhu Ji returned to Xianyang from Yongdu, she really accepted Xiang Shaolong's opinion, and regardless of Lu Buwei's objection, she asked Xiaopan to confer the title of concubine Wang Meixiu, the grandson of Wang Lu, and held a wedding ceremony. In the following year, with the support of Wang Yan and Yang Duanhe, Meng Ao aggressively attacked the state of Wei, taking twenty cities including Suanzao, Yan, Xu, Taoren, Yongqiu, and Shanyang, and setting them up in Dongjun. Add one more county. At the same time, Yan Wangxi sent General Ju Xin to attack Zhao, who was killed by Zhao General Pang Nuan.When the Zhao people were about to attack Yan, they heard that the Wei people were defeated by the Qin army. They were terrified and negotiated peace with the Yan people. At this time, the people of Qi were also ready to move. Seeing that the situation was not good, Pang Nuan was afraid of being attacked by enemies, so he took the initiative to run around the country and once again formed the five kingdoms of Zhao, Chu, Wei, Yan, and Han. He launched an offensive in Wei and defeated Mongolia. Ao, and Li Mu, a peerless and famous general who was so powerful at the time, overwhelmed Wang He with his troops and made him dare not go to help. The military situation suddenly became urgent, and the Qin State was shocked. After Xiaopan received the report, he immediately sent someone to call Xiang Shaolong back to Xianyang, and suddenly, Xiang Shaolong's happy life for many years came to an end. Ji Yanran and others knew that he would inevitably lead troops to go out on this trip, so why did they return to Xianyang with him, hoping to spend more time with him. As soon as he entered the city gate, he ran into Guan Zhongxie who also came back from a long rest. Although he was thinner than before, his spirit was as good as before, and his health had fully recovered. It was even rarer to see that Xiang Shaolong could still smile, and said calmly: "I am ordered to wait for the general here, please enter the palace immediately .” Xuan said in a low voice: "The general's knife taught me a lot of things that I didn't know before!" Xiang Shaolong really wanted to ask him "for example, what is it", but finally held back, and told his wives and children to return to the Wu Mansion, and ride to the palace with Guan Zhongxie. The atmosphere in Xianyang City became obviously tense, passers-by were in a hurry, patrolling troops and teams carrying food and grass could be seen everywhere, and there was a tense atmosphere before the rain was about to come.The people of Qin have never forgotten the previous defeats of the Allied Forces of the Five Kingdoms, and the new defeats are imminent, and they all have a feeling of turning pale when they talk about it. Guan Zhongxie said again: "Xiaozhi has decided to marry the third lady next month, I'm afraid the general won't be able to drink that cup of wedding wine." Xiang Shaolong smiled wryly and said: "I hope I will be able to come back and drink at Master Guan and Miss San's bar!" Guan Zhongxie's eyes flashed mockingly, and he smiled without saying a word.Xiang Shaolong secretly hated him, but he couldn't help it. Everyone knows that the Allied Forces of the Five Nations who are facing the oppression this time are almost in a situation where they are completely beaten and defeated.If you can try your best to block the enemy, you can be a blessing to God.The worst thing was that Meng Ao had just been completely defeated by the coalition forces, and his morale was low. Now he went to take over and support him. The difficulty can be imagined. The two didn't talk any more, and went straight to the palace. Xiao Pan waited for him alone in the study. The future Qin Shihuang is nominally eighteen years old, and he will be officially crowned king in three years. , pulled him aside to sit down, and said in a deep voice, "Master, save me!" Xiang Shaolong was startled and said, "It's not that serious!" Xiao Pan smiled wryly and said: "The situation is extremely bad. The armies of the five countries joined forces outside Hangu Pass, won seven battles and seven victories, defeated Meng Ao, and now Hangu is lost. The most disadvantageous thing is that Wang He also lost frequently against Li Mu on the border of Zhao State. In the state of persevering, if the master cannot repel the coalition forces this time, our Great Qin will be in danger!" Xiang Shaolong suddenly felt that Xiao Pan had turned back to that naughty boy in Zhao Gong more than six years ago, and his heart was filled with strong feelings, and he naturally quoted the famous line from Zhuge Liang's "Teacher's List": "I will do my best, and I will die after death! " Xiaopan said in shock: "Don't mention the word 'death', now only the master can turn the tide." At this time, the servant came to report, and the queen mother and all the ministers had gathered in the inner court, waiting for the holy driver.The two hurriedly left the study and came to the inner court. In addition to Zhu Ji, the participants included Lu Buwei, Feng Jie, Chang Wenjun, Wang Ling, Li Si, Wang Wan, Cai Ze, Yunyang Jun Yingao and Yiqu Jun Yinglou. The latter two have gone to the local government in recent years , and returned to Xianyang together this time, it can be seen that the situation is really critical. When Zhu Ji saw Xiang Shaolong, a pair of beautiful eyes lit up immediately.She has gained a little weight, and her figure is even more fascinating. When Lu Buwei saw Xiang Shaolong, he looked happy on the surface, but Xiang Shaolong clearly felt that he was gloating in his heart. After performing the ceremonies of the monarchs and ministers, Yiqu Lord Yinglou reported: "This time the coalition forces will join forces, including Zhao's 80,000 troops, Chu's 150,000 troops, Wei's 120,000 troops, Yan's 50,000 troops, and Han's 100,000 troops. The troops amounted to 500,000 people. After breaking through the Han Valley, they stood still, built fortifications, and waited for backup supplies. Now the general Meng retreated 200 miles, and guarded the river channel by virtue of the water and natural danger. If he lost again, the enemy could drive away If you enter, if you come along the water, you can reach Xianyang in twenty days." Until now, Xiang Shaolong knew how dangerous the situation was. Lord Changping continued: "Now we are mobilizing troops around the country, with a total of 150,000 troops, plus the 120,000 soldiers under the hands of General Meng, the total strength can reach 270,000 people. It is more than enough to hold on. But retreating the enemy is not enough." Xiao Pan frowned and said, "Can't we deploy more troops?" Wang Ling reported: "The enemy has a well-planned plan. The Zhao people and the Chu people restrained General Wang and General An respectively, making it difficult for them to divide their troops and rush to help. The veterans tried their best to extract so many people. Many of them were old and weak. Undertrained recruits." Xiang Shaolong gasped when he heard this, and thought to himself, with the defeated army and this group of recruits and veterans, is this battle still worth fighting? Zhu Ji said: "What does General Xiang think about this situation?" Xiang Shaolong didn't answer and asked instead: "Is there a unified commander in the unknown coalition forces?" Lu Buwei said solemnly: "We know very little about the situation of the coalition army, and its strength is only a rough guess. It is said that Zhao general Pang Nuan is the commander. This man is proficient in the art of war. The biggest enemy. In addition, they have been preparing for a long time, and they have learned the lesson of retreating without success last time, so this time it will be difficult for us to defeat the enemy by tricks, and everything will depend on the young dragon." When Xiang Shaolong was complaining in his heart, he suddenly remembered that if this battle is defeated, the enemy will surely come to Xianyang, but this has obviously never happened in history, so it must be that this battle must be won. When I think of this, my confidence soars.After all, the person he fears the most is Li Mu. As for Pang Nuan, at least he doesn't have a fearful mentality, and of course he doesn't dare to underestimate him. Thinking about it a little deeper, since fate has determined that this battle will not be lost, even Xianyang will be besieged, so you can let go. I was born in the special forces, and I know how to use the elite to beat the mediocre.If you don't rely on your consistent style, or have a little hope of winning. Thinking of this, he was filled with arrogance, he laughed and said, "I have already made a plan, but I don't know who is the general who commands the troops of all countries?" Everyone was surprised to see that he suddenly changed into another person. Xiao Pan replied: "The people of Zhao are Pang Nuan and Sima Shang, the people of Chu are Wu Zhan, the people of Wei are the newly rising general Sheng Nian, and the generals of Yan and Han are Xu Yize and Han Chuang respectively." Xiang Shaolong smiled wryly, "Except for Pang Nuan, Sima Shang and Sheng Nian, they are all acquaintances." Fortunately, there is no Longyang Jun. In this day and age, the best friend can turn into the enemy who wants to kill himself at any time. Lu Buwei was in doubt, but he said in disbelief: "Shaolong seems to have a plan in mind, but you have to know that the enemy is powerful, and if you are deceived by the general's ability, you will lose battles one after another. Shaolong must not underestimate the enemy." Feng Jie also said: "This Pang Nuan recently showed his prestige, defeated the Yan army and beheaded Yan Fang's general Ju Xin, we must not take it lightly." Yunyang Jun Yingao said: "What is General Xiang's plan to defeat the enemy?" Judging from his tone, it was obvious that he was not optimistic about Xiang Shaolong. In fact, even Lord Changping, Li Si and Wang Ling, who had always had full confidence in Xiang Shaolong, were also worried about him.Although the people of Qin were invincible in the world, they were already scared by the combined vertical army. Xiang Shaolong inadvertently glanced at Zhu Ji, just as she was staring at him closely, the moment their eyes met, the two of them avoided at the same time. Seeing this, Lai Ai immediately became unnatural, and interjected, "Master Xiang has never tried to formally lead an army, if he is not careful, he may be defeated." Just listening to his calm and composed demeanor, one can know that his power has greatly increased and his confidence is full. Xiang Shaolong thought to himself that when I was training in the 21st century, you didn't know where to be reincarnated as a human being. When you got to judge me, of course you said modestly on the surface: "It's really hard to defeat the enemy, and it's hard to defeat the enemy. It is not difficult." Everyone was surprised. Wei Ji asked, "If the enemy is not defeated, how can we retreat?" Xiang Shaolong said indifferently: "The key point is still in Tian Dan. Now that the Five Kingdoms are powerful, he naturally dare not act rashly, but if the Five Kingdoms lose, he will definitely take the opportunity to invade Yanzhao, and Yanzhao will be forced to retreat at that time , the joint army will be destroyed without attack. Father Zhong is the clearest about this matter, so it is better for him to explain it." Lu Buwei knew that he was insinuating that he was colluding with Tian Dan, and he hated him so much, he could only laugh and said: "Shaolong's words are not unreasonable." Cha Ze said: "The general hasn't said how to put the combined vertical army at a disadvantage!" Xiang Shaolong secretly asked the genius to know, but on the surface he said confidently: "The victory or defeat of the war can be clearly explained without empty words, otherwise Zhao Kuo, who is good at talking about wars on paper, would not have lost Changping. Commander, you must first grant the three requests of this humble official, otherwise there will be no victory in this battle." Before Xiao Pan could speak, Zhu Ji said cheerfully, "Shaolong has something to say, please speak." The jealousy in Lao Ai's eyes grew even stronger.A villain is always a villain, and under such a situation where national affairs are the most important, Xiang Shaolong has great kindness for him, but he is still only looking out for his own interests. Xiang Shaolong was full of pride, and said solemnly: "First of all, it is about the generals. I want Teng Yi and Huan Jue to be the left and right lieutenants of the humble ministers. As for the 150,000 people that have been mobilized, I will reduce the number to 70,000, and the number of 100,000 will be enough to defeat the enemy." Everyone was surprised that he would automatically reduce the number of troops. Lai Ai wished for a chance to frustrate him in front of Zhu Ji, she frowned and said: "The enemy has a huge force, the number of 500,000 is still a preliminary estimate, maybe the enemy is still increasing its force, and now Shaolong has reduced its force to 100,000, that is, Even with General Meng’s 120,000 soldiers, the total force is still less than half of the enemy’s. How can we fight this battle?” Lu Buwei nodded and said: "Lao Fengchang's words are not without reason, Shaolong should think twice." A feeling of absurdity surged in Xiang Shaolong's heart. Before he was on vacation, Lu Lai and Lu Lai were fighting to the death, why did they suddenly seem to vent their breath through the same nostril? Xiao Pan's confidence in Xiang Shaolong was almost blind, and said: "The general must have his reasons, can the general explain a thing or two." Xiang Shaolong smiled calmly and said, "Soldiers are more expensive than large ones. Although the five-nation coalition has a large number of troops, each army is not subordinate to each other. There are bound to be many problems in command and cooperation. Therefore, for this point, the minister streamlined the number of troops. Improving efficiency can also enhance morale. What's more, the use of troops requires unpredictability, and the tactics of soldiers are not tired of deception. Too many people and low quality of soldiers will only make the command of the humble ministers ineffective, and lead to failure." Lord Changping and Wang Ling first expressed their agreement. Once these two important military figures expressed their views, no one else had anything to say. Li Si asked: "For the 120,000 people who are covered by the general, will the general reorganize?" Xiang Shaolong said categorically: "This is inevitable. But I need to personally inspect their situation before I can make a decision." Zhu Ji's confidence in Xiang Shaolong was second only to Xiaopan's, and she happily said, "Shaolong's first request was approved, but what is the second request?" Xiang Shaolong said indifferently: "The second request is that General Mengshang must be recalled from the front line to Xianyang, and the power of command must be handed over to the humble officials, otherwise this battle will be lost without a fight." Even Wangling and Lord Changping will look at each other this time.One must know that although Meng Ao suffered consecutive defeats, he was never so defeated that it was difficult to turn around, which can be regarded as very remarkable.In addition, his military experience is far better than that of Xiang Shaolong, with him on the front line, even if Xiang Shaolong is defeated, the enemy will not be driven by them, so no one dares to agree frankly. An angry look appeared on Lu Buwei's face, and when he was about to speak, Xiao Pan said coldly: "The general is right, there is no second commander in the army, I fully agree." Lu Buwei said anxiously: "The veteran thinks that it is best for General Meng to retreat to the second line, which is the best strategy." Wang Wan, Lao Ai, Cai Ze and others all expressed their support for this proposal. Xiang Shaolong smiled slightly and said: "From Hangu to Xianyang is the front line, there is no second line at all, only by letting the little ministers unleash the unexpected tactics of the enemy, the little ministers can win more with less and repel the strong enemy. " Zhu Ji said: "What magic method does Shaolong have to defeat the enemy?" Xiang Shaolong respectfully replied: "This is exactly the third request. There is a saying in the book of war, 'The general is away, and the king's life will not be tolerated', so I dare to ask the queen mother, the prince and Zhongfu to give my minister absolute trust. All gossip and gossip should be ignored. Because this battle will be a situation in which defeat comes first and then victory, and also a situation in which the enemy grows first and then retreats. Therefore, at the beginning of the war, do not lose your balance because of a small defeat. The confidence of the minister. As for the strategy adopted by the humble minister to defend against the enemy, please forgive the humble minister for being tricky, otherwise it will not work well if it is leaked out." Xiao Pan patted the table and sighed: "The general is indeed an extraordinary person. Before the soldiers moved, he had already estimated the overall situation in detail. Two days later, the widows will come to the altar to pay homage to the general. The rise and fall of our Great Qin Kingdom will be in the hands of the general." It was these few words that made Xiang Shaolong take on the important task of commanding an all-out war. ◇◇◇◇◇◇ After the interim meeting, Xiang Shaolong held a group meeting with Xiaopan, Lu Buwei, and Mr. Changping to study the details of food and backup in all aspects of the battle, and agreed that Wu Guo would be responsible for transporting supplies, and Xiang Shaolong to escape. As soon as he left the palace gate, Lao Ai chased after him, after being polite, Lao Ai rode alongside him, pretending to be apologetic and said: "Just now, my little brother was just talking about things, Shaolong don't mind." Xiang Shaolong cursed secretly in his heart, and replied: "Brother Lao underestimated me, Xiang Shaolong. What's the matter?" Lao Ai sighed, "But there is one thing, I really blame Shaolong." Xiang Shaolong was stunned and said, "What is it?" Lai Ai smiled wryly and said, "Why did Shaolong send Meimei to Daliang? At least I should inform my younger brother." Xiang Shaolong also reported back with a wry smile: "Because I was afraid that Brother Lao would object. At that time, it was clear that Brother Lao couldn't compete with Lu Buwei. Instead of taking advantage of that traitor, let Meimei go where she likes. Brother Lao still blames me ?" Lai Ai pondered for a while, nodded and said: "Shaolong's confession is so frank that I can hardly accept it, but I have to accept it. Alas, I really didn't expect that now my power has greatly increased, but I can't get the woman I love. Every gain and loss, it is really sad." Xiang Shaolong understood that he was alluding to Zhu Ji's face, and felt his inner feelings for the first time.No matter how bad Lao Ai is, she is always alone, with her inner sincerity and feelings. There are always many helpless things in life. For example, the enemies he faced, many of them were friends who had once made friends. The closest one is Han Chuang. If you were to be forced to kill him, how would you feel?
