The most romantic little emperor

Li Zhen laughed and said slowly, "Have you ever thought about how we would respond if the enemy chose to stay put and not actively pursue us?"

Wang Jian hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Then we can look for another opportunity to fight, or harass them every day and force them to fight, which will eventually lead them into our ambush."

"Yes, if the enemy doesn't move, we will move."

Li Zhen nodded slightly and said softly, "The battlefield changes rapidly. We cannot stick to the rules. We must rely on favorable terrain, seize the right opportunities, adopt reasonable tactics, and act decisively to achieve victory."

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in Qin Hao's mind, and he remembered the wisdom of the legendary figure Chairman Mao in his previous life, especially his sixteen-character secret to winning a war, which can be regarded as the essence of military warfare.

So he blurted out, "If the enemy advances, I retreat; if the enemy stays, I harass; if the enemy is tired, I attack; if the enemy retreats, I pursue."

"When the enemy attacks, we should retreat flexibly to avoid direct confrontation; when the enemy is stationary, we should actively harass and disperse its forces; when the enemy is exhausted, we should launch a fatal blow; when the enemy retreats, we should pursue decisively and not give it a chance to catch its breath."

As soon as he finished speaking, it was as if a stone was thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Li Zhen and Wang Jian's eyes suddenly focused on him, as if they were strangers they had just met, staring at him closely.

There was a deep thought in their eyes, as if they were savoring the profound meaning of the words he had just said.

Li Zhen spoke first, his voice full of praise: "Your Highness, your sixteen words have revealed the essence of war."

"When the enemy advances, we retreat. This is wisdom. We avoid direct conflict and preserve our strength. When the enemy stays, we harass. This is strategy. We make the enemy restless and tired of dealing with them. When the enemy is tired, we attack. This is opportunity. We seize the enemy's weakness and win in one fell swoop. When the enemy retreats, we pursue. This is determination. We pursue and defeat the enemy and expand the results of the war. These four sentences encompass all the advances, retreats, attacks and defenses in war. They are really brilliant ideas!"

Wang Jian's heart was filled with excitement, and he could not help but exclaimed: "Your Highness, this is really unexpected. Although you have not been to the battlefield in person, your profound insights into military affairs are beyond ordinary people. This is truly a blessing for the court and for Daxia!"

Qin Hao smiled slightly, waved his hand modestly and said: "General Wang, you are too kind. This is just a theory. In the real battlefield, I still have to rely on you generals to plan and win the battle thousands of miles away."

Wang Jian shook his head and looked at him firmly: "Your Highness, your wisdom is our precious wealth. With these sixteen words, we will be invincible and unbeatable!"

Li Zhen nodded in agreement, his eyes gleaming with anticipation: "Your Highness, your wisdom is like a beacon, illuminating our way forward. In the future, the glory of Daxia will surely blossom under your leadership!"

The three of them smiled at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became a lot more relaxed.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, followed by Shi Minghan's voice, "Your Highness, the auspicious time has arrived. You should go to the palace to pay your respects to the emperor."

Qin Hao frowned slightly and glanced at the sky outside the window. The morning light was just coming up, and it was indeed time to pay his respects to his father.

He stood up, straightened his robe, and said to Li Zhen and Wang Jian, "Generals, today's matter ends here. You will follow me into the palace to pay respects to my father."

The three of them walked out of the room together, and Shi Minghan was already waiting at the door.

When Shi Minghan saw Qin Hao coming out, he immediately bowed.

Qin Hao looked indifferent and nodded slightly to indicate that he didn't need to be polite. His elegant movement revealed an indescribable calmness and composure.

When they arrived at the hall, Wang Yourong and other girls were already prepared. They came up and adjusted Qin Hao's makeup again. They stopped only after they made sure there were no flaws.

The wedding process was to first go to the palace to pay respects to the emperor, then set out from the palace to go to Duke Zhu's mansion and the Chen family to pick up the bride, and finally return to the East Palace to pick up A Yue and hold the wedding with the three daughters in Mingde Hall.

Qin Hao led everyone to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, where the atmosphere was solemn and dignified.

Everyone was waiting outside the door, and only Qin Hao entered the emperor's bedroom.

The two most noble beauties, Concubine Dong and Concubine Su, were like flowers in spring, vying for splendor and beauty, serving the Emperor.

His sisters followed closely by his side, like a shining pearl, shining with unique brilliance amid the splendor of the palace.

Emperor Taizong's condition did not improve at all, and even tended to get worse, so he could only lie in bed.

"Father, I pay my respects to you. May the two aunts be blessed..."

Qin Hao arrived at the Yangxin Palace and knelt down to pay homage to his father and the two imperial concubines.

His mother was the Queen, who has passed away. Today, whether it is paying respects or getting married, the two Imperial Concubines will temporarily take on his mother's role.

Although it is a bit inappropriate, it is also a helpless move.

The reason was that Emperor Taizong did not appoint another queen after Qin Hao's mother passed away.

The two imperial concubines in front of him were not easy to deal with. They each had their own ulterior motives, but they both tried their best to maintain outward respect and harmony.

It is said that the two of them put in a lot of effort, both overtly and covertly, and whispered a lot, but failed to change the emperor's attitude of not appointing another queen.

"Good...good prince...get up!"

Emperor Taizong raised his hand with trembling hands, tried to open his eyes and looked at Qin Hao, and said intermittently: "Today is your wedding... Father is very happy... You must work hard to give father more grandchildren..."

"You... you are doing very well now... you are a qualified crown prince... you have the potential to be a wise ruler... your father is very pleased... you must protect the country of Daxia for your father..."

Suddenly, Emperor Taizong held Qin Hao's hand tightly, the light in his eyes seemed to dim in an instant, and his voice became even weaker.

"Cough...cough..."

"Father, please take care of yourself!"

Qin Hao patted his hands and choked up, "I know what you want to say, and I will keep it in mind. I will take Zhu Qiqi, Qian Duoduo, and Feng Qingyue over and bring them to pay their respects to you."

Qin Hao's voice echoed in the Yangxin Palace, full of sincerity and affection.

He held his father's hand tightly, with a determined light in his eyes.

He knew that at this moment, he was not only the crown prince, but also the hope and sustenance of Daxia's future.

The atmosphere in the Hall of Mental Cultivation became particularly solemn at this moment.

Concubine Dong and Concubine Su looked at each other, and there was a hint of nervousness in their eyes.

They knew that once the emperor passed away, the throne would certainly be passed on to the young prince in front of them, and their fate would be out of their control. They might even have to be buried alive with him. Even if they were not buried alive, they would not have a good life and it would be good enough if they could survive.

Moreover, the situation is getting worse and worse. Before, the Su family and the Dong family were secretly competing with the prince, but now the fight is almost fierce and has been brought to the table. Once the prince comes to power, the Su and Dong families will be purged. Without the protection of their family, the fate of the two is unpredictable.

At this moment, the two concubines were secretly thinking in their hearts, should they fight or not?
