Empress Mi Benji

Chapter 255 New Strategy

Zhao's plan was matched by Xia's active preparations for war, taming the new ruled area, reorganizing armaments, and storing food to prepare for war.

But unexpectedly, Zhuang Xun became more and more relaxed because Li Shaoyun joined, not to mention he didn't have to do anything.

Instead, he was given time to exercise, read and spend time, such as today in Yangle Palace.

"The Queen intends to promote you to be a virtuous concubine. What do you think?" Zhuang Xun licked the corner of his mouth and said while watching Queen Mother Jiang get dressed.

"No need. There is no need for mother to be more valuable than son. The current status is very good and the Ai family is very satisfied."

After adjusting her belt and straightening her skirt, Empress Dowager Jiang rolled her eyes at Zhuang Xun. What's the use of empty status? Li Rusi didn't have any status in the harem, so she wasn't the one who shouted around the entire harem.

"Go out and check on Nian En. I wonder if the nanny has fed her enough." Queen Mother Jiang stood up. What she had just done made her feel very uncomfortable. She could not stay in this environment.

"Don't cry, don't make a fuss, it's nothing. Why don't you go and stay with him? Stay with me."

After savoring the sweetness, Zhuang Xun took Empress Dowager Jiang's hand and pulled her back into his arms. He was quite jealous and said that Zhuang Xun was often more tolerant of women who had given birth to children.

"Because you're a bastard, don't you know?" Queen Mother Jiang scolded Zhuang Xun, but still stayed in his arms, looking down at her nominal and actual man.

At this moment, the two sides are like a Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram, maintaining a balance of you in me and you in me, but they are not completely integrated.

"I know it, I know it very well. I want Zhaoyi to accompany me. Zhaoyi, Zhao is coming." Of course Zhuang Xun knew why Empress Dowager Jiang was angry, but he didn't intend to change it. Honeydew melon is sweet, and eating it together will enhance the relationship. What should I change? .

"Want to take back the two roads of Shou'an?" Empress Dowager Jiang was stunned, and then responded that she had originally planned to give Zhuang Xun some shameless words, but she couldn't help but accept the news.

"It looks like this. It's like a response to Zhaoyi giving birth to a child for me. Once a child is born, he will raise an army to seize the land. If Zhaoyi gives birth to another child, you are not going to raise an army to conquer the country."

Zhuang Xun joked that when he talked about the State of Zhao, he felt an inexplicable sense of conquest. The Queen Mother of the State of Zhao was in his arms and he could do anything to her, including letting her raise a baby.

"Nonsense. The son of the Ai family is not that faint. How can he send troops for the Ai family? Who else will give you another child and let you and the child compete for food?"

Empress Dowager Jiang refuted Zhuang Xun righteously, saying that Zhuang Xun didn't care much about the child, but only cared about his mother, which made Empress Dowager Jiang a little angry.

"Nian'en had a good meal at the nanny's place. It's Zhaoyi who said something stupid. Your son doesn't keep the covenant. Zhaoyi, what do you think we should do?"

Zhuang Nian'en, the meaning of this name is very strong. It was not given by Zhuang Xun, nor by the Empress Dowager Jiang, but by Siqin Mi. The meaning is very obvious, both for Zhuang Xun and the Empress Dowager Jiang.

Zhuang Xun realized the meaning, and his attitude became more positive, and this is how he is now.

"Isn't the covenant between countries equal to waste paper?" Empress Dowager Jiang glanced at the shameless guy and became thick-skinned.

What she said is also true. For countries, the covenant between each other is really just a piece of waste paper. Everyone knows that it is waste paper, but in order to appear peaceful, they really signed it.

"Did he know that his mother was in my hands, so he boldly invaded like this!" Zhuang Xun knew that King Zhao was not someone who had concerns about his relatives. He mainly wanted to say that Queen Mother Jiang was in his hands.

Queen Mother Jiang did not understand what he meant by showing off her sovereignty, and just smiled and said: "So what do you want to do with the Aijia? The Aijia have given birth to you children, do you still want to execute the Aijia? Threaten the Aijia, Zhao The king will not give up attacking the Xia Kingdom for the sake of the Ai family."

We have been taught from childhood that kings should not act out of emotion. The last time they saw off each other in a humiliating way, King Zhao got angry but did not lift the table, which already showed that King Zhao was a qualified monarch.

"Hold him in your arms and kiss him hard, make him mad." Zhuang Xun smacked his lips, leaving watermarks on his delicate face.

"You are not afraid of Zhao's army, can you handle it?" Empress Dowager Jiang leaned against Zhuang Xun, as if she was used to him being like this.

"I don't know. It seems that General Shao Guoliang went on an expedition with 60,000 troops. The defense cannot be held. However, many of the people who are willing to leave have been moved. There is nothing we can do about those who are unwilling to leave. They have a large army and we don't want to Fighting them on the plains will consume our strength. I heard that General Shao Guoliang is very powerful?"

Zhuang Xun hugged Queen Mother Jiang's waist. She was indeed a practitioner. She had recovered well and was slender and soft when he held her.

"You want to trick the Ai family?" He looked sideways at Zhuang Xun, with a mocking look on his face.

"Yes, I told you the information about Zhao State. You are not allowed to tell me what you know." Zhuang Xun admitted unusually generously.

"Do you think the Ai family will say that?" Empress Dowager Jiang snorted coldly and turned her head to ignore Zhuang Xun.

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I don't expect to get any useful information from you. I'm just giving it a try."

Zhuang Xun didn't force it. He was more comfortable with Queen Mother Jiang's attitude and there was no pressure to play with it.

"Shao Guoliang is a highly respected general. The Shao family comes from a family of warriors. He has led the Xuanjia Army to defend Jingguo for decades. The Shao family's territory also happens to be Shouan Road. You should have this information, so why bother asking the Ai family? Woolen cloth."

No matter how many things there were, Empress Dowager Jiang couldn't say anything, so she picked up some well-known things to please Zhuang Xun.

"Didn't you tell me that, Zhaoyi, you are also a bitch-tongued? You do know all this, and you don't intend to stick to it. It's best to use up Zhao Guo's power. If you can't, it's also important to preserve your strength."

Zhuang Xun tried to discuss the strategy for Zhao with Empress Dowager Jiang, but the conversation was not deep. He wanted to see if Empress Dowager Jiang's attitude had softened after having a child and she could win over her.

Zhuang Xun knew the information mentioned. The important thing was that her attitude softened. Although she was not confident in changing her position, Zhuang Xun was still willing to give it a try.

"It's true that you won't get any advantage. General Shao has rich experience and is good at fighting step by step and fighting steadily. Retreating to mountainous areas to avoid the Xuanjia Army's advantage is the right choice."

With the only information available, Empress Dowager Jiang concluded that it was true that Zhuang Xun's Tiance army was poorly trained and had uneven quality. She could only give in to a steady general in a real battle.

"This time should also be chosen well. Jingguo has not yet recovered from the civil strife. Your goal of uniting against Zhao cannot be achieved. Zhao is not greedy and just withdraws two roads. There is nothing you can do."

Empress Dowager Jiang felt a little happier. It was good news that Zhao Guo had found Xia Guo's weakness. At this moment, her position in her heart was still that of Zhao Guo. That was her hard work.

Then came the depression. Looking at Zhuang Xun's face, he knew that he was in love, so he still wanted to feel better for him. After all, he was his son's father and his own man.

"What should I do? Get angry, Zhaoyi." Zhuang Xun also knew that he couldn't hold on, otherwise he wouldn't have said anything to ask the people to move.

These have been discussed with Si Qinmi and the others a long time ago. Of course he knows the outcome. He also likes that sentence. If people lose their land, both people and land will survive. It is extremely important to protect the viable Tiance Army and the people. But Zhao Guo can’t be defeated on the battlefield, so don’t you want to make up for it in private? But the current relationship with Empress Dowager Jiang is not like before. She played with her without any burden. She could only seduce her step by step, test Empress Dowager Jiang's attitude, and then decide her own attitude.

"Well..." Empress Dowager Jiang held up Zhuang Xun's head and moved her lips closer.

"Are you still angry?" Queen Mother Jiang's pretty face was stained with a thin layer of red and shy. After saying so much, she finally understood the purpose of Zhuang Xun's visit.

She avoided Zhao Guo's edge on the frontal battlefield, and now she came to show her edge here. She won't suffer the consequences of being the main one, but she still wanted to think so much.

"Angry!" Zhuang Xun recollected the feeling, fresh and sweet, with a bit of residual milky taste.

Replacing the King of Zhao with the Queen Mother of Jiang is too profitable, and there is a place to vent all the worries. If the Kingdom of Zhao cannot defeat the Kingdom of Zhao, then it can be played by the Queen Mother of Zhao. This is also a kind of victory.

"Nonsense, go see your son." Empress Dowager Jiang was too lazy to pay attention to this shameless man. She got up from Zhuang Xun's lap and took Zhuang Xun's hand.

"Isn't he also your son? We have a son, Zhaoyi." Zhuang Xun said casually, without even realizing the strong sense of pride in his words.

"I know, the Queen Mother of Zhao has a child with you, and you are King Zhao's little father." However, Queen Mother Jiang realized it, and knew from Zhuang Xun's unconscious words what he wanted and felt happy at the moment.

From humiliation to numbness to calm acceptance, it is already a fact. The practitioner can understand it. She accepts this fact and uses it to achieve her own goals.

"Well..." Zhuang Xun showed a cheerful expression. If King Zhao couldn't control the second attack on Shou'an, he would treat him like his little father.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty..." The attendant taking care of Zhuang Nian'en made way for Queen Mother Jiang to hold her child.

The child was asleep and very well-behaved. Looking at his father, he looked vaguely similar. He was indeed the product of her union with Zhuang Xun.

Queen Mother Jiang's heart softened a little, and she did feel some blood connection with Zhuang Xun through her child. They had a child in common.

It seems that Zhuang Xun still took advantage of Empress Dowager Zhao, but Empress Dowager Zhao is not disgusted anymore, but she still says the same thing, surrendering physically, not surrendering mentally, the spirit just doesn't resist.

Zhuang Xun still lacks a good opportunity if he wants to conquer her spirit.

Zhuang Xun pressed his fingers on his chubby cheeks. He liked this child in general, and he treated all children equally. Unless Si Qinmi had children, the others were his own, and he cared about them.

Zhuang Ren was still Zhuang Nianen, and Zhuang Xun took time to accompany him. At least as an emperor's father, he spent a lot of time with his children. However, as Empress Dowager Jiang was annoyed, Zhuang Xun paid more attention to the child's mother.

"If I wake him up and cry, I want you to coax him." He threatened Zhuang Xun and pulled his hand away. Zhuang Nianen was indeed very good, and Zhuang Xun would wake him up and cry sooner or later if he played with him like this.

When Zhuang Xun was pregnant with her, he would touch her swollen belly countless times a day. She thought Zhuang Xun liked the child in her belly.

After these few months, Empress Dowager Jiang now completely understood why Zhuang Xun liked children, but what she liked when she looked pregnant.

"It's beautiful!" The radiance of motherhood shines through. The mother holds her child, her gentle look is full of love, showing the beauty of the Virgin Mary.

"Look at your son, don't look at the Ai family." He handed Zhuang Nianen to Zhuang Xun, and Zhuang Xun naturally hugged his and Queen Mother Jiang's son.

A few months old, not very big, more like Queen Mother Jiang, vaguely like herself, very good.

"Zhaoyi, I really look like you." Zhuang Xun hugged him firmly and found something to say.

"Nonsense, you and the sons of the Ai family are not like the Ai family, who are they?" Empress Dowager Jiang looked at the father and son, and her heart felt a little warm. Zhuang Xun's unworthy words made her unable to help but refute.

"I said this is very good. It's great to inherit your appearance." Zhuang Xun smiled. He did not feel inferior about his appearance, but felt proud of being a beauty. He still hoped that the child would inherit his mother's good looks. Some dragons and phoenixes.

"Hmm..." Queen Mother Jiang didn't respond and looked at Zhuang Xun holding the child.

Except that the bottom line has not been broken, everything has been broken. Subconsciously, I still hope that Zhuang Xun will care about their mother and son.

"How would it feel if King Zhao knew about this child?" After achieving certain stage results, Zhuang Xun began to constantly test Queen Mother Jiang's bottom line.

"Be angry and feel guilty. How can you feel? My respected mother was impregnated by the enemy. What do you think he thinks?"

Zhuang Xun's words provoked Empress Dowager Jiang, but Empress Dowager Jiang had been calm for a long time. Zhuang Xun wanted to see her mood swings, so she could just make it look like it didn't matter.

"Then if I lose the battle, I will definitely not get any favor from Nian En. Your brother will have to remember his half-father to spare you."

Zhuang Xun casually said that he usually wouldn't talk about this idea of ​​his. He would only say that he would definitely win against Zhao State, and he said it today.

"He won't die, and neither will you. If Zhao really comes and besieges the city, don't swear to the death."

Empress Dowager Jiang made a promise and took the first step to guarantee the guarantee, convincing Zhuang Xun and his party to accept the guarantee conditions. Last time, Xuannv missed a guarantee, so both parties had a tacit understanding and maintained a dynamic.

"It depends on the situation. As long as you can protect Nian En when the time comes, if I do, the frontline army will be destroyed. As a king, I will live in vain. I am not willing to do so."

Zhuang Xun solemnly said that he really regarded the country as his own. The army was annihilated. As a king, how could he not bear some responsibility? How could he be so clean?

"Do you miss En's father?" Empress Dowager Jiang glanced at Zhuang Xun. Having a child indeed made the two parties more harmonious.

"Many soldiers have sons. If we bury them, many children will have no father. However, I will not lose. I will always win. I will have everything I want, such as you."

Having already established strong confidence, Zhuang Xun now aims to unify the world. Just as he said to Si Qinmi, there are current difficulties, but the previous difficulties were greater and there was no hope.

"The fertile Shou'an Fangyu Road will be taken back. The grain produced this year will be given to Zhao Guo for free. According to your opinion, the army will flee without fighting. Can you still win?"

When Empress Dowager Jiang saw Zhuang Xun's tail rising to the sky, she couldn't help but say that she couldn't see clearly her own position, even if she was a practitioner.

"You don't understand the strategic change. It's not like there's not enough food. Just give it to them."
