Now, Xie Zhaozhao has presented him with such a magnificent gift.
Even though he knew she was still hiding something, he was still extremely grateful.
The battle with Wei Anyuan was a life-or-death struggle; any mishap would render the entire Daqian dynasty a thing of the past.
Xie Zhaozhao's conquest of the thirty-six northern prefectures was nothing short of a stroke of genius.
He grasped Xie Zhaozhao's hand and said emotionally, "My wife is the greatest woman in all of history!"
He inquired carefully about Xie Zhaozhao's plans and learned that Gu Chongjin and Fu Yingde had resigned from their positions as captains in the Imperial Guard and had been helping Xie Zhaozhao train troops in the wilderness.
The recipe was given to Chu Zhongtian to help Yin Jin'an subdue Wang Fen, all for the purpose of launching a full-scale attack on the Wei clan today.
He didn't know what to say; such profound and far-sighted thinking was unbelievable to a woman.
“Zhaozhao, I won’t let you sacrifice in vain. If people find out that you’ve already trained the imperial guards and conquered the thirty-six northern prefectures to attack the Wei clan from the north, even if you’ve made great contributions in this battle, it will inevitably arouse His Majesty’s suspicion. So my opinion is—”
He instructed Xie Zhaozhao to provide him with the list of generals who had participated in the war in the north. Once the Wei clan was eliminated, all the generals, including Yin Jin'an, Wang Fen and his son, Gu Chongjin, Ren Jialin, Xie Jue, Yun Yang, Yun He, Yun Yuan, Yun Xiao, and others, would be included in his secret raiding vanguard.
This way, we can have a legitimate reason to launch an attack.
After the great battle ended and the victorious generals returned to the capital, Gu Shaoyu, in the name of the secret raiding squad he had dispatched, requested titles for all the generals.
This would allow him to retain Xie Zhaozhao's troops, officially reward the soldiers who had contributed to the battle, and also alleviate the emperor's and officials' concerns.
Gu Shaoyu pinched her thin cheek with his fingers and said slyly, "Of course, I am the biggest beneficiary of doing this. Others will think that I am so good at planning and using troops, even though it is my first time commanding a large army."
Xie Zhaozhao smiled too, but more than anything, she was grateful!
His thoughts were the most thorough. She didn't want to kill Wei Shi to avenge her past life, only to expose herself to the court and become a new threat.
Who benefits the most?
The imperial court?
Gu Shaoyu?
Hey everyone?
Or is it Xie Zhaozhao?
It seems that, except for the Wei family, everyone wins!
He's a cunning old fox, killing multiple birds with one stone, and his persona remains intact.
