"Oh, Your Majesty! Why won't you listen to my advice? You must know that there are no mercy on the battlefield! If anything happens to you, or if you make any mistake, I, Sha Guanghan, will be the first sinner! Not to mention how those ministers in the court will attack me, the common people in Fengqi City alone will probably eat me alive and cut me into pieces!" At this point, he subconsciously stretched out a finger and pressed hard on the root of his teeth, looking like he was filled with hatred and resentment.

"I am really worried about you! You know, the reinforcements from Dalang are on the way. According to the current schedule, they will arrive here in a month at most. However, at this time, there is no movement from Lingyuan and Yatuo, which means that Ge Dongqing has not yet successfully provoked a war between Lingyuan, Yatuo and Dalang. If it is delayed for another half a month, even if the war finally breaks out there, the army sent by Dalang to support Ji Yuanqiang will probably not turn back halfway. If everything is as I expected, then So the only 30,000 soldiers we have are definitely not enough to deal with this war. With such a huge disparity in strength, we have no choice but to retreat step by step. Moreover, once we really retreat to the two boundary markers at the junction of Fengying and Chaizhou, even if we exclude the casualties that may occur during this period, we will not be able to defend the two boundary markers with our current strength! Because of this, at this critical moment of life and death, how can I sit in the court with peace of mind and covet that leisure and comfort?"

After saying that, Wan Lianxing picked up the tea bowl leisurely and took a sip of tea slowly. His tone seemed to be very concerned about the matter, but his attitude seemed to be more nonchalant than anyone else. There was no worry on Wan Lianxing's face at all.

When Sha Guanghan heard what Wan Lianxing said, he knew that this man was not going to leave his military camp. Looking at Wan Lianxing's fearless look, his teeth hurt even more, "Your Majesty, victory and defeat are common in the military, and it is inevitable that there will be losses on the battlefield and casualties among soldiers and generals. Even if all of us die on the battlefield, there will naturally be others who will step forward to replace us. But there is only one emperor, you must not make any mistakes."

Upon hearing this, Wan Lianxing put down the tea bowl in his hand, frowned and said, "It's unlucky, what you said is really unlucky! You should know that you loyal ministers and generals are the foundation and lifeline of Fengqi. Even if I, Wan Lianxing, unfortunately die, will Fengqi still need an emperor? There will definitely be countless people with lofty ideals to take over. I'm afraid they will fight to the death!"

Upon hearing this, Sha Guanghan hurriedly spat three times on the ground, muttering, "Pooh! Pooh! Your Majesty, what you said is even more unlucky than what I said!

"Puh, puh, puh!" Sha Guanghan spat at the ground three times, then said, "Your Majesty! What you said is even more unlucky than mine. If you don't listen to my advice and refuse to leave this place, I will lead my army to attack Chaizhou again tomorrow. Just give me a month, and I will be able to conquer the entire Chaizhou County in one fell swoop."

At this time, Wan Lianxing suddenly closed the folding fan in his hand and responded loudly: "Okay! If you can really seize the remaining nine cities in Chaizhou County for Fengqi State, I will definitely reward you handsomely!"

Sha Guanghan said with a firm look: "Then it's settled! Tomorrow I will lead the army to attack Dalang Kingdom directly, and we must capture Chaizhou in one go!" His voice was sonorous and powerful, revealing full confidence and determination.

Upon hearing this, Wan Lianxing responded solemnly: "When I was not the begging Shuiyong King, I kept my word and would never break it! After the matter is accomplished, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

When the shadow on the side heard this, he blinked his eyes and asked curiously: "What good thing is the emperor going to reward General Sha? What can make General Sha so motivated and eager to try? Isn't it going to reward him with a woman?"

Wan Lianxing turned to look at Suiying: "What's in your head? When did you become so indecent? Did you become a bad person after being away for two years?"

Suiying waved his hands and explained: "Oh, Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me. I am still the same Suiying as before, and I haven't changed at all. It's just that many countries now have this custom. Whenever a battle is won, the king will often reward the meritorious officials with beautiful women. Just like the Dalang Kingdom, after being defeated by the Southern Yan Kingdom, wasn't it forced to agree to send a noble princess to marry?"

After hearing this, Wan Lianxing had a look of disgust on his face. He really looked down on rewarding ministers with beautiful women, so he said leisurely: "It's old-fashioned, but how can the marriage between Dalang and Nanfang Yan Kingdom be compared with me and Lao Sha? Dalang surrendered to Nanfang Yan Kingdom out of helplessness and had to offer various conditions to make Nanfang Yan Kingdom withdraw its troops; while Lao Sha was rewarded for his outstanding military exploits. It's completely different. There is a world of difference between the two!"

Suiying smiled slightly and responded softly: "That being said, giving women to ministers as rewards has been common since ancient times."

Lian Xing snorted coldly and said with great disdain: "Rewarding a woman? How cliché! I despise such clichés the most."

However, at this moment, Sha Guanghan stared at Wan Lianxing with his bull eyes and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I don't mind the cliché!"

As soon as these words came out, Wan Lianxing's hand holding the fan froze instantly, as if time had frozen at this moment. Suiying could no longer hold back and burst into laughter, his laughter resounding throughout the room like a pig's cry. Even Huang Chenming, who was always calm and reserved, couldn't help but purse his lips, trying to hold back his smile, pretending to be nonchalant as he picked up the tea bowl in front of him and gently blew away the hot air on the surface.

Sha Guanghan looked at the reactions of the people in the room and was confused for a moment. He asked in confusion, "What are you all laughing at?"

The delicate fan in Wan Lianxing's hand was tapping back and forth rhythmically, making crisp and subtle sounds. He smiled, looked at Sha Guanghan tenderly, and said softly: "Old Sha, I know it's hard for you to lead the troops in the war, especially in the past year or so in the Broken Road Forest, isolated from the outside world, it's really hard for you. If you have a girl you like, just tell me, as long as she is not married, I will personally grant you a marriage to comfort you for your hard work and achievements in the past two years."
