Chapter 592 I Only Support You

Zhao Shen said, "It's unlikely that Mobei will cede voluntarily. Besides, there's no need to use the favorable situation we've finally achieved on something like this."

This is because they feel that such a small space is not worth including in the contract.

"what you up to?"

Zhao Shen smiled and said, "It's nothing. The people of Mobei won't be willing to negotiate with us anyway, so we might as well strike first. We've already found out who set the fire to the military camp on New Year's Eve. It was a Mobei person. We can use this as an excuse to send troops to seize that area before the peace talks."

Ji Yunshu: "...This is no different from just robbing it, right?"

Zhao Shen didn't think there was anything wrong with his idea. He said nonchalantly, "Who said that only the Mobei people can rob us? We can't rob the Mobei people. Besides, if we don't put pressure on them before the peace talks, the Mobei people will not be content."

Ji Yunshu agreed with this statement.

With the troublemaker Yong Wangfu around, there is indeed a possibility that Mobei will rebel.

"Have you discussed this with Big Brother?"

Zhao Shen said: "Brother is a smart man, he knows the best way to do it better than me."

Thinking about how she hadn't seen Ji Yunlan much since the Chinese New Year, Ji Yunshu suddenly realized, "Did Big Brother personally bring people there? Is his leg okay?"

During the Chinese New Year, he was still sitting in a wheelchair. Although the doctor said it was nothing serious, he had injured his bones after all, so he still needed to recuperate.

Zhao Shen said, "The injury on his leg wasn't serious to begin with. He was just putting on an act to confuse the enemy. For example, now, if he doesn't show up, no one will suspect he's doing anything."

After hearing what he said, Ji Yunshu became suspicious again: "Brother, are you really just going to grab a piece of pasture?"

She felt it was a bit of a waste of talent.

There were countless generals of all ranks in the military camp. For such a small matter, it would not be easy to arouse suspicion if anyone was sent. There was really no need for Ji Yunlan to go in person.

Zhao Shen looked at her with admiration in his eyes and couldn't help but reach out and rub her head: "You are really smart, but this matter involves military secrets, I can't tell you, you will know when your elder brother comes back."

Ji Yunshu realized that he seemed to be petting her like a cat, and slapped his hand away in dissatisfaction: "Don't touch my hair anymore."

She spent a lot of effort to grow this long hair, which is black and smooth. Zhao Shen always loves it.

Zhao Shen withdrew his hand and said nothing, but Ji Yunshu knew that he definitely didn't take his words to heart.

So I suggested: "Do you want to get a cat?"

Zhao Shen immediately understood what she meant. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He leaned over and kissed her forehead: "I will only support you."

The two of them had been very affectionate lately, and Ji Yunshu rarely showed a hint of shyness: "It wouldn't be bad to have a cat."

Zhao Shen didn't like animals like cats and dogs, and shook his head: "I only like to raise you."

He took good care of Ji Yunshu and raised her well.

Seeing that he really had no interest, Ji Yunshu stopped insisting.

The Mobei delegation arrived later than Ji Yunshu expected.

She thought the other party would come after the Chinese New Year, but it was not until the 13th day of the first lunar month that Wujina brought the delegation into Wuning.

During this period, there were several conflicts on the border, all of which ended with Daxia's victory.

Daxia also inadvertently occupied some areas in Mobei.

In the past, when the two countries were about to hold peace talks, Daxia would retreat after winning this small-scale war.

But this time, the Daxia army directly stationed in those places.

Wujina was very dissatisfied with this. When she saw Zhao Shen, she complained, "You are too rude. The war is over. Why are you trying to seize the grasslands on the border?"

Zhao Shen said frankly, "Raising horses."

Wujina was stunned: "You mean, those places are not returned? That's not appropriate, right?"

Zhao Shen didn't care much and said, "What's inappropriate? You can fight when you want and stop when you want. You have to return the space you occupied. Do you think this is playing house?"

Wujina was speechless for a moment.

The person behind her said calmly, "Peace talks have their own rules. Does this mean that Prince Zhao doesn't want to talk?"

Even though his appearance was very different from before, Ji Yunshu recognized him as soon as he opened his mouth.

It turned out to be Bilige.

She couldn't help but pointed at the person and asked Wu Jina: "Did you bring him out like this?"

This is too blatant.

Bilige should be dead at this moment.

Wujina explained, "He's not in good health. The royal court is too cold. The climate here in Wuning is more suitable for him to recuperate."

This is simply a lie. The climate in Wuning is not much better than that in the royal court. Moreover, if Bilige is really in poor health, he is not suitable for the fatigue of traveling.

These days, the bumpy ride out of the house is simply unbearable.

Zhao Shen wasn't interested in who was speaking. Without even raising an eyebrow, he said calmly, "It was you Mobei people who started the war. The military camp was set on fire on New Year's Eve, and the food supplies were nearly burned. That was also done by you Mobei people. It's you who don't want to negotiate, right?"

Bilige frowned. The current situation was worse than he had imagined.

Zhao Shen looks like a gentleman, but he is not a man who follows rules.

Emperor Jingming's use of such a person simply caused them countless troubles out of thin air.

He knew it was useless to say high-sounding words to Zhao Shen, so he didn't beat around the bush: "Prince Zhao, you know the current situation in Mobei. We can't afford your exorbitant demands."

Last year, there was a severe drought in Youzhou, and the neighboring Mobei was also greatly affected.

Moreover, Mobei's national strength is not as strong as Daxia's.

Zhao Shen glanced at him calmly: "Can the Fifth Prince's words represent Mobei?"

In short, do your words count?

This question was somewhat insulting, but Zhao Shen's expression was too calm, making people feel that he didn't mean it.

But Bilige knew he did it on purpose.

If someone else said this, he wouldn't take it to heart at all.

From the beginning he knew what his ending would be.

It can even be said that his current situation is much better than he expected.

At the last moment when he was ready to die, Wujina appeared in front of him with medicine and saved him.

Bilige took a deep breath, suppressed the myriad emotions that suddenly arose in his mind, and glanced at Wujina.

Wujina smiled and said, "He is now my Prime Minister and the most important person in this delegation besides me. His words can represent Mobei."

Ji Yunshu didn't expect things to take such a turn.

Both Wujina and Bilige survived, and they even shook hands and made peace, becoming allies.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the plot of the book.

She thought absentmindedly.

Zhao Shen's emotions were completely unaffected, and he didn't care who the core figure of the delegation was.

No matter what, he must have the final say in this peace talk.

The emperor's decree had been delivered long ago, and he was fully responsible for this peace talk.

He looked directly at Bilige and said, "I know whether it's a big ask or not. The people of Mobei are untrustworthy. They were negotiating while fighting. Now that they've been defeated, they're negotiating peace. Your Excellency, you don't think Daxia is easy to deal with, do you?"
