Chapter 327 Pain and happiness

"Reward! Great reward!"

Happy, Emperor Wen immediately asked someone to draft an edict.

"Father, wait a minute!"

Yun Li couldn't bear it anymore and quickly spoke to stop it.

"what do you want to say?"

Emperor Wen looked at Yun Li, seemingly displeased.

Yun Li's heart twitched, and he quickly bowed and said: "At present, it is just Beihuan's intention to exchange Sanbiancheng for Princess Gayao. This matter is not yet certain. I am worried that this is Beihuan's trap again..."

"Yes!"

Xu Shifu also hurriedly spoke to help, "Beihuan is full of tricks and has not officially returned to my hands in Sanbian City. There may be variables in this matter."

As the two opened their mouths, many people also started to speak.

"This matter is strange. Your Majesty, you might as well wait until it is confirmed!"

"Yes, Beihuan has paid so many casualties, but at this time he gives up the natural protection of the Three Sides City. This is obviously something wrong!"

"Abandon Sanbiancheng at this time, and when we attack Kaichun, won't Beihuan be in danger of being defended?"

"This matter is probably Beihuan's trick..."

Most people think there is something wrong with this.

Even Zhang Huai was a little suspicious.

Zhang Huai was not targeting Yun Zheng, but he felt that this matter was a bit unlikely.

Logically speaking, Beihuan should defend Sanbiancheng at this time.

After all, after spring starts and the Baishui River thaws, there will be no horse racing.

If Daqian wanted to attack Beihuan, he could only fight through Beiyuan Shoal.

Opposite Beiyuan Shoal is Gubian City. As long as Beihuan defends Gubian with all his strength, even if Daqian has a million troops, it will not be able to enter Beihuan territory.

But now, Beihuan wants to trade Sanbiancheng for a princess?

This feels wrong even thinking about it!

After everyone said this, Emperor Wen gradually calmed down.

After a while, Emperor Wen looked at Xiao Wanchou and said, "Mr. Yu Guo, what do you think?"

Xiao Wanchou thought for a while and replied: "This matter is indeed a bit strange, but it is not impossible!"

"Oh?"

Emperor Wen's heart was filled with hope again, "Tell me more specifically."

Xiao Wanchou said: "During the Battle of Split Wind Canyon, Shuofang's army captured many prisoners. From those prisoners, we learned that Princess Jiayao was both civilized and martial, extremely intelligent, and was indeed extremely favored by Beihuan's great Chanyu... …”

Yun Li frowned and said, "No matter how favored you are, you can't trade Beihuan's safety for Gaoyao's safety, right?"

"Your Highness, please listen to what I have to say."

Xiao Wanchou chuckled and continued: "Now that Beihuan has lost its troops and generals, and is seriously short of food, they probably have no intention of mobilizing a large army to defend the Three Sides City. Instead of doing this, it is better to exchange the Three Sides City for Princess Gayao."

"Old Xiao's words are reasonable!" Zhao Ji took over the words, "Holding a large army in Sanbian City to fight against us for a long time will definitely be detrimental to Beihuan! It would be wise for Beihuan to exchange Sanbian City for Princess Gayao at this time. Decide……"

"That being said, it does seem possible!"

Zhang Huai turned around and nodded, "However, Your Majesty does not need to rush to reward His Highness Sixth Prince and Yu Shizhong. It will not be too late for His Majesty to reward His Highness Sixth Prince and Yu Shizhong once Sanbian City is back in our hands."

"Well, Mr. Zhang is right." Xiao Wanchou nodded, and looked at Emperor Wen with a smile, "The Sixth Highness has not been rewarded by the Holy One for the past two meritorious service! The Holy One didn't know what to do for a while. How should I reward His Highness the Sixth Highness? It would be better to wait until Sanbian City is returned to our hands before rewarding him. Your Majesty will also have time to think about how to reward His Highness the Sixth Highness..."

Listening to Xiao Wanchou's words, Emperor Wen was not only slightly stunned.

Haven't you been rewarded for the merits you made the first two times?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be true.

The battle in Death Valley, the battle a few days ago, was a trick, but there was really no reward!

If Lao Liu really made a contribution to regaining the land, he really didn't know how to reward him!

If the reward continues, Wei Wenzhong, the general of Zhenbei, will not be as high as him!

Suddenly, Emperor Wen had a headache again.

After thinking for a while, Emperor Wen ordered Mu Shun again, "Draw up an edict and order Wei Wenzhong..."

Halfway through, Emperor Wen suddenly paused again.

After thinking again for a moment, Emperor Wen continued: "Let Lao Liu be fully responsible for the early exchange matters, and Wei Wenzhong will assist! After the Three Sides City is recovered, Wei Wenzhong will be responsible for assigning generals to guard the Three Sides City..."

"Father, isn't this bad?"

Yun Li said worriedly: "Wei Wenzhong is the commander-in-chief of the Beifu Army. Wouldn't it be too..."

"Too much?"

Emperor Wen glanced sideways at Yun Li and said angrily: "I just asked Wei Wenzhong to assist Lao Liu in handling the early exchange matters. How to send people to guard later? Wei Wenzhong still has the final say. You don't even understand this?"

"His Royal Highness, what the Holy One said makes sense." Xu Shifu said quickly: "The Holy One is worried about an accident during the exchange, and wants Mr. Leng next to His Highness the Sixth Prince to help make suggestions..."

Yun Li paused for a moment, then bowed quickly: "My son is stupid and didn't understand my father's intention clearly."

"If you know you are stupid, use your brain more!"

Emperor Wen said with a black face: "I don't care what you are thinking, but please remember that nothing is more important than regaining the ground! I still want to go down to see my ancestors with dignity!"

"Yes, I know my mistake."

Yun Li bowed again, unable to stop cursing in his heart.

Seeing Yun Li's appearance, Xiao Wanchou couldn't help but shake his head secretly in his heart.

This prince is indeed not very good.

National interests are always superior to personal interests!

Common people may not be able to see this clearly, or they may ignore it.

Because the ordinary people in the city are just struggling to survive!

It’s hard for them to even live, so what kind of national interests are expected of them?

But Yun Li is different!

He is the prince!

It's the prince!

He is also the future emperor!

This big job is, after all, the big job of their Yun family!

In the face of national interests, he still thinks about those messy things, so what kind of prince is he?

On the other hand, although Yun Zheng was extremely dissatisfied with Wei Wenzhong, he was still unambiguous in the face of major issues of right and wrong.

Such a comparison made Xiao Wanchou strengthen his thoughts.

The Xiao family will never get involved in this muddy water!

"Cough cough..."

Suddenly, Xiao Wanchou started coughing without any warning.

Xiao Wanchou's coughing relieved Yun Li's embarrassment.

Emperor Wen looked away from Yun Li and turned to Xiao Wanchou, "Mr. Yu Guo, are you okay?"

"Cough cough..."

Xiao Wanchou coughed violently twice again, then waved his hands and said: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I think I just rushed in a hurry and caught a bit of wind and cold. It doesn't matter...ahem..."

Xiao Wanchou said it didn't matter, but he coughed even harder.

"It's all my fault, you were in such a hurry!"

Emperor Wen looked at Xiao Wanchou apologetically, "In this case, you go back and rest first, and I will order the imperial doctor to come to the house to take a look at it for you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Ahem..."

Xiao Wanchou bowed and said: "Then I will take my leave first...ahem..."

Xiao Wanchou kept coughing as he excused himself.

Emperor Wen listened and felt even more apologetic.

Xiao Wanchou returned to the house and immediately called his youngest son and whispered a few instructions.

"Father, what are you doing?"

The youngest son asked with confusion.

Xiao Wanchou glared at his son and said angrily: "Why is there so much nonsense? Hurry up and do it, the palace doctor will be here in a moment! Remember, do it quietly, don't let anyone find out!"

The younger son had no choice but to do as he was told.

Soon, the younger son filled a large wine bag with boiling water and gave it to Xiao Wanchou.

Xiao Wanchou stuffed the wine bag into the bed, pretended to be depressed, and quietly waited for the arrival of the imperial doctor...
