Zhao Hao and his companions traveled day and night and returned to the capital in just seven days.
When Jiang Wan'er heard that Zhao Hao had returned and was asking for a meeting outside the palace, she was shocked at first.
Then he immediately put down the memorial in his hand and asked Eunuch Qu to call the person in quickly.
When Zhao Hao came in in a disheveled state, Jiang Wan'er's eyes flashed and she immediately frowned.
"How did you get yourself into this state?"
As he said this, he looked at Eunuch Qu and several maids beside him and said, "You guys go down first."
After hearing this, several people hurried out.
Jiang Wan'er immediately waved to Zhao Hao: "Follow me in!"
Having said that, he stood up and walked towards the inner room.
Zhao Hao hurriedly followed her, knowing what she was going to do, but he said, "It's nothing, it's just that we walked too fast along the way."
As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the inner room.
Jiang Wan'er personally scooped a few scoops of water from the wooden barrel into the wooden basin, and then gently tested it with her hand.
"It's not too cold at this time of year. Come over and take a shower."
Zhao Hao smiled slightly and said softly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Then, he walked to the wooden basin and started washing slowly.
Jiang Wan'er walked to the bed beside her and sat down, picked up a book on the bed and started reading.
"You came back in such a hurry, but what happened?"
While washing, Zhao Hao replied, "It's still about the barbarians and the Yue Kingdom."
"Huang Man sent 10,000 troops to follow the Crown Prince of Yue and entered the Kingdom of Yue. This news is accurate."
“This is a great opportunity for me to do something big.”
"That's why I hurried back here to discuss with your majesty what I'm going to do next."
Jiang Wan'er nodded slightly and closed the book in her hand.
"I have discussed this matter with the court officials. Didn't the Marquis of Zhenbei tell you?"
Zhao Hao put all his hair into the wooden basin, and then kept rubbing soap on his hair.
"I have already said that. He told me that His Majesty and the court officials have discussed two solutions."
"The first method is the most time-saving and labor-saving. We only need to notify the Yue court of the forces that oppose the Yue crown prince."
"We can sit back and watch the fight between the tigers, and reap the benefits."
"The second solution is to fight another battle."
"Take advantage of this opportunity to solve the problem once and for all."
Jiang Wan'er whispered, "Do you think there are problems with these two methods?"
Zhao Hao said: "Yes!"
"First, we will inform the Yue court of the news and oppose the forces of the Yue crown prince."
“It can be done.”
"However, we cannot be completely sure that this move can achieve the effect we want."
"Can the forces opposing the Crown Prince in Yue Kingdom really be on par with the Crown Prince of Yue Kingdom?"
"It was still under the circumstance that he secretly sent 10,000 troops into the Kingdom of Yue."
"I'm afraid it's difficult, right?"
Jiang Wan'er pondered for a moment after hearing this, and said, "Currently, the troops of Yue State are mainly divided into three parts."
"The first part is in the north, controlled by the Crown Prince of Yue. It is also the strongest part, with more than 150,000 men and horses."
"Of course, now that I've beaten him so hard, he's been crippled. Only about half of him is left."
"Of the remaining two parts, one is in the hands of King Jingnan in the south, with about 50,000 men and horses."
"There is another part, which is in the west, which is the border between our Dagan and Yue Kingdom."
"A full 100,000 men."
"Controlled by King Pingliang."
"This Prince of Pingliang is the Fourteenth Prince. In the past, he once competed with the current emperor for that position."
"In the end, no one knows what happened, but he voluntarily withdrew from the competition, left the imperial capital, and joined the army."
"For decades, I have been leading troops abroad."
"If the King of Pingliang stands up, the Kingdom of Yue will inevitably be in chaos."
"If the Prince of Pingliang does not stand up, it will be difficult for the forces in the court that oppose the Crown Prince to do anything."
"After all, the imperial capital of Yue State only has 20,000 guards at most."
Zhao Hao rubbed his hair and said as he dried it, "That's it."
"We can't just communicate and then do nothing."
"We must make them mess up!"
"It would be best if the King of Pingliang could lead his troops back to the capital of Yue."
"Completely stand on the opposite side of the Crown Prince of Yue."
Jiang Wan'er shook her head and said, "This possibility is too low."
"Once the commotion breaks out, the Kingdom of Yue will be completely devastated."
"The King of Pingliang probably wouldn't do that."
Zhao Hao said: "Your Majesty, everything depends on human effort. You can first test the attitude of the King of Pingliang."
"I just don't believe that someone who once participated in the fight for the throne would watch such an opportunity slip away."
Jiang Wan'er thought about it, stood up, walked to the cabinet, took out a new towel and handed it to Zhao Hao.
"What you said makes sense."
Zhao Hao said softly: "Let's try and see if we can push the Pingliang King's army back to the capital."
"It would be best if he could fight the prince."
"Only if they really start fighting and both sides suffer serious losses, can we plan to fight them again."
"If the Crown Prince of Yue easily ascended to that position without bloodshed."
"Then we can't fight."
It’s not that we can’t fight, but that we can’t afford to fight.
Dagan could only barely afford to maintain an army of 20,000.
After the last battle, they could no longer support even 20,000 troops.
Even the pension plan formulated by Zhao Hao was paid in installments.
