Chapter 487: A Model of a Good Wife
After noon, after having lunch at the old woman's house, Wei Changtian said goodbye and left, going to Guanghan County Government to meet Liang Zhen and Chu Xianping.
Now the Shu army and part of the Li army have returned to Guanghan County, and the remaining 50,000 Li army will arrive in a few days.
The next thing to do is naturally to counterattack.
There are currently two main options regarding the direction of the counterattack.
The first is to attack Anzhou in the north first and directly defeat the remaining 60,000 remnant troops of the imperial court in one fell swoop.
The second is to attack Yangzhou in the east first, and then securely take over a few states.
After all, there are not many provincial troops in the various provincial capitals of Daning now. Once a war breaks out, the Shu army will probably not have to pay too much to win.
Both options have their own advantages and disadvantages. Simply put, one tends to be "quick success and quick profit" while the other tends to be "stability". In fact, either one is fine.
For example, Liang Zhen was inclined to attack Anzhou first, hoping to maximize the results of the battle while his own military strength was superior.
Chu Xianping, on the other hand, was more inclined to attack Yangzhou first, intending to make long-term plans by leveraging Shuzhou's economic advantages.
Since the two people's ideas conflicted, the decision-making power naturally fell into Wei Changtian's hands.
But to be honest, Wei Changtian wasn't quite sure.
Fortunately, there are still a few days before the follow-up reinforcements from Dali arrive, so he can still think about it carefully.
At dusk, Xu Qingwan followed the team escorting grain and fodder to Guanghan City.
Wei Changtian already knew about this, so he temporarily gave up thinking about "national affairs" and went to have a tryst with Comrade Xiao Xu.
In fact, he had originally planned to arrange things in Guanghan County and then return to Shuzhou City.
After all, there were some things he needed to explain clearly to Ning Yuke, and he also had to make arrangements for Li Wutong who was about to be taken to Shuzhou.
However, Xu Qingwan insisted on coming, so he didn't refuse.
Anyway, there won't be any danger now, and I haven't had the hour of Xu for a long time.
In a guest room on the top floor of the most expensive inn in Guanghan County, Wei Changtian and Comrade Xiao Xu had just done something they had not done for a long time.
Dresses and robes were scattered all over the floor, which was enough to show how intense the scene was.
“.”
"Phew, I'm so tired."
Lying on her side on the bed, Xu Qingwan looked at Wei Changtian tenderly and silently with a satisfied look on his face, and gently pulled the brocade quilt to cover her chest.
She panted lightly for a while, and when her breathing gradually stabilized, she whispered:
"Changtian, Miss Liu Shi has returned to Shuzhou City."
"Really?"
Wei Changtian turned around and asked with a smile: "Has she come to see you guys?"
"Well, Sister Lu and I invited her to come back and live with us, but she didn't agree."
Comrade Xiao Xu looked a little puzzled: "And I think Miss Liu Shi has changed a lot."
"Where is it bigger?"
Wei Changtian pretended to be surprised and teased: "Hasn't she always been big?"
"ah?"
Xu Qingwan blinked blankly, then reacted and her face turned red: "No, it's not that it got bigger."
"It's the feeling she gives people, as if she has become a different person."
"After being in the military for so long, it's inevitable that your temperament will change."
Wei Changtian didn't care too much about it: "I heard from Du Chang that this time it was all thanks to her, otherwise the Tengu Army wouldn't have been able to get along so quickly."
"Um"
Xu Qingwan nodded slightly, and her long hair rubbed against the pillow, making a rustling sound.
She leaned into Wei Changtian's arms, and said in a low voice with some self-blame: "Miss Liu Shi has helped you so much, you must treat her well in the future."
"Hahaha, what you said, haven't you been helping me all the time?"
Wei Changtian laughed dumbly and said, "If it weren't for Ying Fengsheng, how could I have won the battle so easily?"
“Yes.”
"But the prosperity is not just my own achievement."
Comrade Xiao Xu corrected softly: "There are also Madam Wei and Sister Lu."
"Um."
Wei Changtian touched his nose and suddenly thought of Lu Jingyao.
This woman didn't come to Guanghan with Xu Qingwan. This is not her style.
Does it mean that you have shifted your energy from love to career?
Then I have to thank her.
After thinking about it for a while, Wei Changtian remembered something else.
"By the way, I will marry Qin'er in a while."
He looked down at Xu Qingwan and asked jokingly, "Do you agree?"
"Hmm? Really?"
Comrade Xiao Xu looked up and replied with a smile: "You should have married Miss Liang a long time ago!"
"And Miss Liu Shi, Yuan'er, and Qiu Yun, you have promised them all."
"Uh no hurry."
Wei Changtian failed to tease them, and felt a little embarrassed: "There are too many people, come one by one."
"You are not in a hurry, but they are. They are just too embarrassed to say it out loud."
Xu Qingwan advised seriously: "I know you have many important things to do all day long and don't have time to worry about these things."
"But I can help you. When the time comes, all you have to do is come back and get married."
“.”
The crescent moon is like a hook outside the window, and the sparse lights in the house are shining by themselves.
Comrade Xiao Xu spoke seriously, trying to gain status for her "sisters" as soon as possible.
The more Wei Changtian listened, the more he felt that Comrade Xiao Xu was truly a model of a good wife!
Not only did he not stop himself from getting married and taking concubines, he even offered to help arrange it!
Where can I find such a woman?!
"Wan'er."
Looking at the moonlight outside the window, Wei Changtian suddenly asked, "Are you tired?"
"A little bit."
Xu Qingwan answered truthfully, and then prepared to continue talking about her "wife-marrying plan" for Wei Changtian.
But she couldn't say what came after that.
"ah!"
"You, you turned off the lights."
“.”
The next morning.
In the early morning, bright and fresh sunlight shines through the window and falls into the slightly messy guest room.
Comrade Xiao Xu was too tired last night and is still lying in bed, refusing to get up. He is ready to take another nap.
Wei Changtian had no choice but to get up by himself, have breakfast at the inn, and then set off for the county government office.
Now that You Wenzong is still imprisoned in the county jail, it is time to persuade him to "abandon darkness and join the light."
Although You Wenzong has never appeared in "The Peak of Martial Arts", based on previous contacts and intelligence obtained, he is a rare talent.
If he can be used for his own purposes, he can perhaps be sent to assist Ning Yuke. I think he should be a good hand at governing the country.
For this purpose, Wei Changtian asked Wei Xianzhi to make some preparations in advance.
Of course, if You Wenzong refuses to do so, then he can only be killed.
“.”
Humming a little tune, he walked all the way to the county government office, which had become the "Shu Army's front-line headquarters."
After last night, Wei Changtian is in a very good mood.
However, just as he stepped over the threshold of the yamen lobby and saw several people standing there, his expression suddenly turned cold.
Chu Xianping, Shen Ran, and "When did you come?"
Stopping in front of Xu Suisui, Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes and asked, "What did you do in the past few days?"
“.”
Looking at Wei Changtian's indifferent expression, Xu Suisui seemed to understand why the former had such an attitude.
Biting her lips lightly, she lowered her head and whispered:
"Let's talk somewhere else."
“.”
Glancing at her, Wei Changtian's tone remained cold.
"OK."
