Morning.

At this time, the atmosphere was a little weird, there was a scout kneeling above the court, who kept his head down and was silent for a long time, while Emperor Xia and the ministers were surprised, and they were stunned one by one!

"Say the battle report you brought!"

After a long time, Emperor Xia spoke again, and the scout nodded slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yin has been sent to Tianlai City yesterday morning!" ”

"Shhh

After getting the scout's confirmation, the entire hall sounded a gasping sound, and all the ministers looked at each other, only to hear Su Xun condense and say, "Where is the battle report?" ”

The scout replied: "Due to the importance of the matter and the urgency of time, the general did not write the battle report, and directly let the general pass it orally!" This is a token of the Great General! ”

Su Xun suddenly frowned, and said, "When did you start sending troops, you will tell me in detail what happened!" ”

The scout nodded hurriedly and said, "That's the case, I ...... three days ago."

Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang glanced at each other, both of them showed a trace of worry on their faces, and after a long time, Emperor Xia's brows were also tightly furrowed, and he said, "What do you think?" ”

Su Xun's face was dark: "Your Highness only brought an army of 50,000 and broke four cities in three days!" There's a lot going on here! ”

Emperor Xia nodded in agreement and said, "Su Xiang is right, I'm afraid this is Donglai's trick to lure the enemy!" ”

Guo Jia nodded in agreement and said, "Your Majesty!" The minister thought that His Royal Highness should know that this was Donglai's plan to lure the enemy, and as for why he continued to go deeper, he must have his own strategy! ”

Emperor Xia's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded slightly: "Yes, but they are indeed dangerous at this moment!" Although it has experienced several major defeats in a row, there are at least more than 100,000 troops, and if the forbidden army is added, there should be at least 200,000 troops!"

Guo Jia nodded and said in a deep voice: "Now, if Daqin intervenes again, it will be bad!" ”

Zhuge Liang said softly: "Your Majesty, the top priority should be to let His Royal Highness return to the army as soon as possible, and the minister thinks that a large army should be dispatched to garrison Yuyouguan immediately!" ”

Emperor Xia bowed slightly: "Yes, since this is the case, then let King Yu lead the Huya Army to Yuyou Pass!" “

"Son's Command!"

King Yu hurriedly stepped out and spoke in a condensed voice.

"Hmm!" Su Xun bowed slightly, and spoke again: "Your Majesty, you should send another army to the eastern border!" ”

"What Su Xiang means...... How many cities? Zhuge Liang immediately understood what Su Xun meant, and asked.

"Not bad! Now that we've got it, we must not spit it out again! Su Xun's eyes flashed with essence, and he said: "The most important thing is that no matter what, Juque Pass must be in our hands!" ”

Emperor Xia also looked pensive, and after a long time, he sighed lightly: "It's not that simple!" Su Xiang, tell me what you think! ”

Su Xun took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, the most important thing is not those cities, but the people in the cities, the population!" ”

As soon as Su Xun said this, all the ministers nodded secretly, and after a long time, they said softly: "What Su Xiang said is extremely true, and the ministers think that they should immediately send more troops and horses to prevent Donglai from counterattacking!" ”

Emperor Xia's eyes were deep, and after a long time, he said: "I don't think I should want those cities, nor can I want the people in the city!" ”

Su Xun's face was suddenly puzzled, his brows furrowed, as if he was wondering why Emperor Xia would say this!

I saw Jiang Shang take a step forward and said, "Your Majesty is reasonable, taking the city will do us all kinds of harm and no benefit!" ”

"Prime Minister, what do you mean?"

The servant of the Ministry asked suspiciously, as if he had said this to Jiang Shang

Surprised, he asked again: "If I completely control a few cities, then my territory of Great Xia will expand by at least one-third, and the seven cities will add up, but there will be at least a million people!"

After hearing this, Jiang Shang smiled faintly and said, "Let me ask you, if my Great Xia really takes these seven cities, will Donglai give up?" ”

The servant of the ministry shook his head and said, "Of course not, but today's Donglai is just surviving, why am I afraid of them!" ”

"What about Daqin?"

Su Xun also reacted and said, "Yes! If we really occupy a few cities in Donglai, it is equivalent to breaking the balance in the east, how can Daqin and Beicang watch us grow and grow! ”

At this time, Su Xun also suddenly woke up, and continued to speak: "Besides, my Great Xia troops are now scattered, especially Yuyouguan and Tianlong City, all of which must be heavily guarded, if you want a few more cities in the east, not only will you have to send troops to station, but also a large number of officials will govern!"

Su Xun sighed for a long time: "Now we are short of officials and young officials, and the north is still a big hole, where are there officials to go to the remote east!" ”

"The city is really not advisable!"

Jiang Shang said: "Take over the city, my Great Xia will become the target of everyone, even if I can eat it, I can't hold it!" ”

"What about the people? That's a million people! The servant asked.

"Huh!" Guo Jia chuckled: "The city is not advisable, the people, and it is not acceptable!" ”

Emperor Xia bowed slightly, and said: "If Donglai is destroyed, we can naturally gather its people, but the Donglai court is still there, even if we can transfer them to Guannei, it will be a disaster!" ”

The servant of the ministry was suddenly silent, bowed deeply, and retreated to the same place!

Guo Jia took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty! These cities cannot be recovered, but they cannot be returned to Donglai so easily! ”

A smile suddenly appeared on Emperor Xia's face, and he said, "I don't know what Aiqing's opinion is?" ”

Guo Jia said softly: "Among the seven cities, except for Yishui City, which was burned by His Highness, the other six cities are full of heroes and families!" ”

"We are not allowed to attack the people, but these powerful families slaughter at will, take their money and grain, put the silver money into the treasury, and distribute the grain and grass to the local people!"

After Guo Jia finished speaking with a smile, Su Xun's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam: "Lord Guo's plan is very clever!" ”

Jiang Shang also nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, borrow flowers to offer Buddha!" ”

Emperor Xia bowed slightly: "Quasi-play!" ”

Guo Jia continued to speak, and said: "Your Majesty, seven cities, one giant pass, it is not too much to ask Donglai for one million taels of silver!" ”

At this time, Guo Jia actually had a hint of cunning and cunning, and as soon as the words fell, a minister hurriedly said: "Your Majesty! The minister thinks that Lord Guo's words are inappropriate! One million taels of silver wants to get back the seven cities and one level, which is too cheap! ”

"Haha! Not bad! At least 1.5 million taels! ”

"Two million taels is not much!"

……

Emperor Xia shook his head secretly, his mood was also much more relaxed, and after a long time, he said softly: "According to what Guo Aiqing said, since this is the case, Guo Jia!" ”

"You immediately go to the east, summon King Yin back to Beijing, and convey my will!"

"Yes!"
