No matter how you look at these behaviors, they seem to be driven more by emotion than rationality, and they seem to be the result of impulsive behavior.
In fact, sometimes Zhao Jiu himself didn't know whether his words and gestures towards those civil officials and military commanders were just acting or were they really sincere? When he made those decisions, was it rational or emotional? When he was forced into a corner, were his decisions considered reckless and ignorant, or were they a strong release of emotion?
At least this time, Zhao Jiu was really confused about the various events and decisions that happened after Concubine Pan became pregnant.
Of course, whether it is releasing emotions or obeying reason, there is nothing to say at this point. Or perhaps, it is precisely because there is nothing to say or think that I can empty myself and have these strange thoughts in my mind, which are like raising a flag.
As for raising the flag, Zhao Jiu was even more worried about the debt.
"The melons here are good, with plenty of sunshine, so they are big and delicious." Zhao Jiu came back to his senses, but suddenly turned back and gave an order to Yang Yizhong, who was stunned. "Don't write a letter. Let the messengers who report military intelligence to Chang'an pass a message to Zhang Jun of Jingyao, Yuwen Xianggong of Chang'an, and Wu Guifei of Chang'an on the way, saying that after the battle, I invite them to eat melons here in Yaoshan... As for these fruits, distribute them to the guards below."
Yang Yi Zhong listened to the order blankly, but after taking two steps he turned around and stared at Emperor Zhao motionlessly.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Jiu put his hands behind his back, not caring. "Zhengfu thinks the melons here are not good?"
"That's not what I meant." Yang Yizhong couldn't help himself. "Sir, the decisive battle may start in three days..."
"That's not true." Zhao Jiu shook his head repeatedly. "Neither Lou Shi nor Wu Da are corrupt scholars. Wu Da's behavior is just to test something. If I were Lou Shi, I would just use this reply to tease us. After three days, I will still stay in the camp and make us restless in vain." At this point, Zhao Jiu laughed again. "In fact, even if the fight really starts in three days, will it delay us from delivering the message and eating melons?"
Yang Yizhong was silent for a moment, nodded, and turned around to dispatch the messenger and distribute the fruits. But before he took a few steps, he saw the yellow-faced Wu Jie walking towards him accompanied by Xiaolin Xueshi, and he also bowed his head in greeting.
"Deputy commander." Wu Jie hurriedly bowed to Yang Yizhong, then quickly came to Zhao Jiu, and bowed again, his expression stern. "I presume to guess... I'm afraid that Huo Nu has already gone to the camp at the mouth of Luoshui River in the north of Fangzhou. I'm afraid that my brother and Qu Da will be frustrated. The strategy of attacking both ends will fail."
Zhao Jiu nodded, but laughed again: "It's not a loss actually... 20,000 for 10,000, just consider it as even. We still have the advantage in manpower, and the smaller the scale of the local battlefield is, the easier it will be for us to command it properly."
Wu Jie heaved a sigh of relief, but his expression was still stern: "That's true. After all, if the living girl doesn't come, Loushi only has 30,000 soldiers, and 10,000 of them are Han'er soldiers. How can they fight against our 80,000 people? I'm afraid he will avoid fighting and wait for the reinforcements from Longmen. If so, with our army's strength, it will be difficult to take the initiative to attack..."
Zhao Jiu nodded, but then shook his head: "Jin Qing, I am not as good as you in fighting... In the future, you don't have to report all military matters to me, you can make your own decisions... In this battle, just treat me as a dragon banner."
Wu Jie bowed his head and looked at him, but he came and went in a hurry, while Yang Yi Zhong just followed Wu Jie and walked slowly down the mountain.
PS: The agreed amount is 150k, but in fact, including this chapter, I coded 132k... I won't talk about starting a new life from today... Just keep an account! I owe 18k last month.
But seriously... I always feel that keeping accounts is the beginning of a deeper depravity, people!
