Zhu Feng asked while drinking, "What's going on when you say that it's not peaceful near Baihu City recently?"

Chen Zixiao immediately put down the chopsticks in his hand and said seriously: "Actually, it's not the recent one."

"Um?"

"Since the death of King Ashige, the White Tiger City has been uneasy."

Zhu Feng said: "I heard that there was a palace of their royal family in that place. In the past, it was always empty, only when the emperor or princes went on a tour. But after Ashige's death, I have been unable to hear the news about this place."

Chen Zixiao said: "After the emperor's grace, I have entrusted my ministers to guard Handong. After I came to Handong Guard, I have also begun to pay attention to the movements near Baihu City. However, after Ashige's death, there were many soldiers and horses sent here, and it looked like they were in a restraint with the emperor's seven guards of Guanxi."

"Look?"

Zhu Feng said: "Does there be any other meaning?"

Chen Zixiao said: "I boldly speculate that there is a possibility of division in the country."

"Split?"

Zhu Feng's eyes narrowed.

Of course he knew that Monk, the king of the country, and Arislan, the king of Nanli, had been fighting openly and secretly, and even this time the decisive battle against Baihu City, the breaking momentum was already on the table.

What everyone saw was the breakup between the two of them.

But Chen Zixiao said that it was a domestic division.

He also put down the wine glass he was twisting in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Make it clear."

Chen Zixiao said: "The emperor also knows that after Ashige's death, the people and forces divided between Monk and Arislan have been competing with each other since then. However, Weichen discovered in the past two years that although the two people were still facing each other in Kulun City, Arislan was behind the scenes of the White Tiger City."

Zhu Feng frowned: "Does he plan to use this place as his stronghold?"

"At present, it seems that this is possible."

“…”

"Although the two people were equally strong before, Kulun City was the capital of the country after all, and Munch was the king of the country after all, and he was overwhelmed in terms of status. Moreover, Munch no longer had to hide his power like when he had not ascended the throne in the past, so the situation in Arislan was quite difficult."

Zhu Feng nodded gently.

Many people believe that the identity of "Son of Heaven" is useless without military power. In fact, it is not the case. The ancients knew that the emperor was used to command the princes, which shows that this title was quite useful. With him, there would be a commanding height, and then commanding the troops, and there would be a legitimate name.

More importantly, Monk is not a useless foolish monarch.

From the moment they met before, you could feel that this person who looked sick and inactive had a lot of things hidden in his eyes.

Arislan is a lion, such a person is suitable for going to the battlefield and hitting the attack with one blow.

In fact, after Ashige's death, Zhu Feng speculated that a war would inevitably break out in the country.

But, beyond his expectations.

The war did not break out, but it was a battle between two people for several years. Although it was not a real fight, it was a good thing for them to consume national strength in this way, so he always waited and watched the change.

And in such a battle, Arislan's military advantage was suppressed.

Chen Zixiao suddenly said: "Of course, these are just Weichen's guesses."

Zhu Feng looked at him.

Chen Zixiao said: "Although Weichen has set up a lot of secret whistles within a radius of hundreds of miles, no one can enter the place that is really close to White Tiger City. Arislan guards that place very tightly, and ordinary people cannot get close to it."

Zhu Feng said with a smile: "But even I can't detect your scout."

Chen Zixiao pondered for a while and said, "I don't want to take risks either."

"Oh? How do you say it?"

"Arislan arranged heavy troops in Baihu City. At least from the current situation, he was not directed against Shazhou Guards, nor against Handong Guards."

"Um."

"If the Wei minister sends someone over, it will cause trouble to the east."

"Are you worried that your appearance will threaten him, which will attract the use of troops from Baihu City?"

"good."

Zhu Feng glanced at him and said, "I thought you wanted to fight this battle."

You should know that the border guards are not afraid of anything else, but they are afraid of fighting without a war.

After all, if there is no war to fight, I think this place is useless. What's more serious is that the court's food and salary will also be reduced accordingly.

Only by fighting can you make money.

His Highness Yan, who once guarded Beiping City, understands this most clearly.

Chen Zixiao also glanced at him and said sincerely: "The superior troops attacked the plan, then attacked the diplomatic relations, then attacked the troops, and then attacked the city."

“…”

Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.

He remembered correctly that when he was on the border of Yongzhou, facing Xiahou Jiu's 200,000 troops, some wanted to fight and some wanted to negotiate, and Nan Yan said this to him.

That was also the time when he was admiring the little woman again.

At this moment, Chen Zixiao said this, which made him feel a little moved. After a while, he smiled and said, "Your military strategy is indeed well learned."

Chen Zixiao said: "The emperor praised the mug."

Zhu Feng took a few more sips. The wine and spicy food in the northwest side were a bit shivering after drinking it. He grabbed two pieces of sauce and ate it. His throat felt a little better, and his brows were frowning.

Chen Zixiao quietly pushed Lao Vinegar Peanut in front of him.

Zhu Feng smiled secretly in his heart.

Although this person looks straightforward, he is as careful as a person. No matter whether it is a big or small matter, it is reassuring.

The two of them drank for a while.

Chen Zixiao tried to speak a few times but stopped, but seeing that it was getting late and the wine pot was bottoming out, he said, "Is it for Baihu City this time that the emperor came to the northwest?"

Zhu Feng said, "I just come and have a look."

"……oh."

Chen Zixiao agreed, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and stopped talking.

Zhu Feng looked at his flashing gaze and knew that he could not hide his words from him, but as a minister, he did not dare to put his speculation too much on his face.

So the two drank the remaining drops of wine in the pot.

His cheeks were red. Zhu Feng stood up and was about to open the door and blew the wind. When he saw Xiao Shunzi holding something, he walked over happily. Seeing him standing at the door, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty."

Zhu Feng said: "What's the matter?"

Xiao Shunzi said: "Your Majesty, it's news from the capital."

After saying that, he held up a letter in his hand.

"oh?"

Chen Zixiao came forward: "Your Majesty, is there anything important?"

"nothing,"

Zhu Feng opened the letter and looked at it, and his lips curled slightly: "The Imperial Concubine is leaving."
