I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

Guan Shouchang finally made up his mind and said,

"If that's the case, then let's do it this way. The Sichuan Army has come from afar and is unlikely to launch a night attack, but we must also be prepared.

The army should have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow the entire army will attack and fight a decisive battle with the Sichuan Army.

Our three legions marched out of the city and lined up to confront the Sichuan Army head-on.

General Bai, you take your troops and assemble at the east gate. When we are engaged in fierce fighting, you will charge out from the east gate, circle around to the rear of the enemy army, launch a surprise attack on their rear, and form an encirclement.

But we can't be like that idiot Zheng Ping'an and just surround another 300,000 with 300,000. That would be courting death.

The best strategy is for each of our legions to have a vanguard to break through the enemy's formation and divide and surround them.

Zhao Biao, can your White Horse Army still fight?"

Zhao Biao immediately patted his chest and said,

"As long as there's enough food and fodder, I'll attack the enemy from the flank tomorrow and turn their army upside down!"

"Okay, then it's decided."

Chen Qing suddenly said,

"General Guan, we have to leave someone behind to guard Xianyang City. We can't make the same mistake as Zheng Ping'an and just hand over such a huge city to others. Be careful that the Sichuan Army will imitate our sneak attack."

"Hmm... then who should stay to defend the city?"

Su Wuan immediately said,

"That's easy, isn't it? We have four legions, and each legion will select a corps to guard one side of the city wall.

Besides, the hot air balloons are flying in the sky to monitor the enemy situation. I don't believe that the enemy can sneak attack Xianyang City right under our noses in broad daylight."

"Okay, it's settled then. We'll go to battle tomorrow morning!"

Guan Shouchang looked at everyone and said,

"In tomorrow's battle, we must defeat or even annihilate the Sichuan Army. In this way, the war in Qin can be declared over.

Then, we quickly dispatched troops to escort the collected gold and silver, as well as the royal relatives, nobles, and dignitaries back to Shengjing at the fastest speed.

It is imperative to arrive before Emperor Wei arrives in Shengjing.

We cannot be left out of this ceremony of surrendering prisoners.

I'll go inform Mr. Bai of the Bai family and have them calculate the military pay we need and the gold and silver we need to govern Qin. They'll keep this portion and send the rest to our national treasury."

"it is good!"

"Everyone, let us drink this cup to the fullest and wish us victory in tomorrow's battle!"

"Dayan will win!"

Everyone raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

Suddenly, Zhang Yide winked at Guan Shouchang and said,

"Old Guan, have you met the Queen of Qin? I heard from Xiao Su that although she is old, she still has her charm."

Guan Shouchang was unhappy and snorted coldly,

"You can't stop talking about women. We were discussing the war, so why did you bring up this? How the Queen handles the matter is our Majesty's business. Don't even think about interfering."

Zhang Yide rolled his eyes at him and said,

"What are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? If I want a woman, I'll just go to a brothel. They all look the same even when the lights are off.

I mean, doesn't our prince always like the queen? Didn't he accept Queen Tang and Queen Yu?

Do you think we should take this opportunity to show our courtesy and secretly send the Queen of Qin to the prince?"

Guan Shouchang was startled when he heard this, blinked his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said hesitantly,

"How old is the queen?"

"About forty."

Su Wuan said.

Bai Wuan's face looked a little strange when he heard this. He really had forgotten about Shen Changgong's habit. This man just liked the queen.

The country was destroyed by Shen Changgong himself, and the queen was taken away by him.

In other words, the Liang Kingdom was destroyed by Bai Wuan, and the emperor, empress and others were all killed at once, leaving no one for His Royal Highness Lanling Prince.

Now think about it, if he had been caught and not killed, could he have been presented to the prince to please him?

Even the most upright people like to be flattered, and those who curry favor and give gifts are not necessarily incompetent.

Some people have abilities but no emotional intelligence, and they still can't thrive in the workplace. Only by learning to give gifts and please others can they get opportunities, be valued, and have a stage to display their talents.

Bai Wuan was well versed in political struggles, so he knew everything. He just didn't bother to do it before, and no one was worth his trying to please.

Guan Shouchang asked,

"Our prince is only twenty-three, right? How could he be so young and like a woman who can be his mother?"

Su Wuan immediately shook his head and said,

"No, I have something to tell you secretly. Don't spread it to anyone else. Someone from the prince's army secretly sent me a message saying..."

Guan Shouchang glanced at him unhappily and said,

"Why don't you just say Yang Hongying? There are others. Do you really think we don't know who the 'undercover' you placed next to the prince is?"

Su Wuan smiled awkwardly and continued,

"Yes, it was her. She told me that the prince did not take the Queen of Wei as his wife, but instead wanted her to stay with the Emperor of Wei forever.

If you ask me, if the Emperor of Wei died and the Queen was a widow, then the prince would just take her in. After all, no one wants a widow, and it would be reasonable for the prince to give her a home to settle down.

But if the husband is still alive, it would be inappropriate to take his wife away like this.

If generals like us were to rob the wives of powerful people in the enemy country, that would be nothing.

But he is a prince and the woman is the queen. Their identities are too sensitive. Wouldn’t history books in the future record that the prince took someone else’s wife and daughter?

If you want to send it to please the prince, then kill the Emperor Qin, so that your reputation will be better. If you don't kill the Emperor Qin, don't send the queen.

If you ask me, the prince may not be interested in this forty-year-old woman. Look at his women, our Majesty, the two queens, and the one in Jiutian Tower. All of them are young, which shows that the prince likes young women.

Send this old woman over there, be careful not to flatter the horse's leg."

Guan Shouchang heard this and nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, I think Xiao Su is right too. Let's not flatter the horse but end up hitting its leg.

Another point is that the prince is your majesty's husband. It's good enough that your majesty can tolerate the prince taking concubines. They are a couple. If we send women to the prince and it gets to your majesty's ears, wouldn't that be trying to sow discord between the couple?

If Your Majesty and the prince do not get along, or even have a falling out, our Great Yan will immediately be in civil strife, and the prince may even rebel. By then, the King of the South will definitely side with Your Majesty. If we have civil strife, won't that give the southern countries an opportunity to take advantage?

And even if Her Majesty doesn't say anything to the prince, what does she think of us?

Will he hold a grudge against us?

Think about it from another angle. If Your Majesty were a man and the prince were a woman, how could Your Majesty not be angry if we sent a man to sleep with the emperor's wife?

It's all the same, mutual.

We are leading the army to fight outside, and the Prince and the Southern Prince are not here. We are already under suspicion in the court, and we cannot give those ministers any reason to criticize us."

"That's right, then let's send them all to Shengjing. Whether the prince wants it or not is up to him. We won't interfere."

"Yes, that's it."
