The main purpose of Yang Shou summoning Qin Hu this time was to discuss with him the marriage of Princess Chang'an. Yang Shou hoped that Qin Hu would marry the princess within two months.

Qin Hu wished that this matter could be delayed indefinitely, and it would be better to delay it directly, but Yang Shou refused to agree to anything because he had made meritorious deeds again.

Qin Hu could only reluctantly accept it.

The next day, Yang Shou held a grand court meeting, the main purpose of which was to welcome the prince of Liaodong Kingdom.

The prince, Gao Lin, was only twelve years old. When he came, he was so frightened that he couldn't sleep every night. He was afraid that the emperor of the Yu Dynasty would skin him alive. No matter how Qin Hu comforted him, he was still afraid.

In fact, Qin Hu always knew that Yang Shou would not do anything to him, but would treat him well, because only in this way could he show his majesty as the emperor of a great country.

If Gao Yuan had happily gone to Chang'an to meet him under his edict, there would have been no Liaodong War at all, and Gao Yuan could have received large amounts of rewards, and the people of both countries could live and work in peace and contentment.

But things in the world are often like this. Because a small turning point is not handled well, fate will move into an irreversible situation.

Sure enough, Yang Shou first criticized Gao Lin and his father at the court meeting, and then made Gao Yuan the Duke of Liaodong and Gao Lin the Marquis of Ping still. He also gave 10,000 pieces of silk and 10,000 taels of gold and silver.

Gao Lin lay on the ground and shouted long live, saying that today he had truly seen the magnanimity of the emperor of a great country. He had been so wrong before. Yang Shou seemed very happy.

After the dynasty was over, Pei Yun invited Qin Hu to go back with him in his car. On the way, Pei Yun suddenly said solemnly: "Things are not easy to handle. According to reliable information, the person who bribed the Wuying Group to assassinate you has been found."

Yes, but this person is difficult to deal with."

Seeing that Pei Yun's eyes were very strange, Qin Hu said puzzledly: "It must be difficult to deal with. There is no one who is qualified to oppose me. No one is easy to deal with."

"You didn't understand. What I said is that it is very difficult to deal with." Pei Yun said with a smile: "This matter is really too troublesome. If you don't do it right, you will lose everything."

"Unless it's the emperor."

"Don't talk nonsense. If the emperor wants to kill you, why do you need to find an assassin?" Pei Yun scolded him very unhappily: "How can you say such treacherous and unethical words?"

"Who is that person?" Qin Hu smiled bitterly.

Pei Yun thought for a long time, then seemed to finally make up his mind and said, "Princess Chang'an."

"What?" Qin Hu was so frightened that he almost jumped up. He had long known that that girl from Chang'an was ruthless and vicious, but he never thought that she could be so vicious. She actually bribed a killer to plot against him. This was too much.

Alright.

The key point is that after getting married, she will have many opportunities to plot against herself, so what should she do?

"It's best not to report this matter to the emperor, otherwise it will complicate the problem. I have an idea, what do you think?" Pei Yun said.

"Second uncle, please tell me."

"After you get married, you can leave the town and go to the outer vassal, so you won't be afraid of the princess harming you."

Qin Hu thought to himself that this was a way, but it was only a temporary measure and could not fundamentally solve the problem. Moreover, Chang'an would definitely get rid of him before getting married, and now was the most dangerous moment.

"This Wuying Group is too courageous. It's better to uproot them." Qin Hu said.

"It's very difficult. The internal security guards have been tracking them for many years, but they still haven't found out who the boss behind them is, and they don't know where their rudder is, so there's no way to start."

"That would be difficult." Qin Hu sighed.

After returning home, the more Qin Hu thought about it, the more difficult it became.

So Qin Hu thought about it and decided, forget it, it would be safer to move to the military camp, and he could also step up training of soldiers and horses, getting the best of both worlds.

The Zuojinwu Guards were not a standing army. Once the war was over, most of them were demobilized on the spot and returned to their respective homes. Only a thousand people stayed on duty in the capital. However, the Xiaoguo Army was different. The Xiaoguo Army was a standing army stationed in the capital.

So Qin Hu left the city overnight and garrisoned the Xiaoguo Army camp. He now controls 25,000 Xiaoguo Army, of which 15,000 are newly recruited young men with very poor combat effectiveness.

It was not that he was afraid of the Wuying Group's assassination, but in fact he just didn't want to deal with Chang'an. He wanted to use all his time to complete his plan to strengthen the army.

For the next month and a half, Qin Hu worked at the Ministry of War during the day and lived in the military camp at night. Every day he would personally supervise and guide the soldiers' training.

The combat effectiveness of the Xiaoguo Army and a thousand Zuojinwu Guards has been greatly improved.

During this month and a half, Li Qin still had no movement, no defeat, no victory, it seemed like nothing had happened.

This is simply making fun of Yang Shou. His tens of thousands of troops consume astronomical amounts of food and grass every day. Who can afford it if they are so greedy for life and afraid of death?

As the Minister of War, Qin Hu knew this matter very well. Not to mention the grievances between him and Li Qin, even if there was no enmity, it was impossible to watch him fearing the enemy and wasting taxpayers' money.

So I couldn't bear it anymore so I read a book for him. At this time, Dong Chun, who was left behind in Pengcheng, captured the rebel leader Peng Xiaocai alive in Donghai County, wiped out his 100,000 troops, and made great contributions to the court.

Wang Shichong also defeated Meng Rang in Xuyi County. Meng Rang's entire army was wiped out, and only a dozen people escaped. The two largest rebel groups in western Yangzhou have been eliminated.

Yang Shou has received good news frequently in the past few days, and he feels very happy. In addition, Qin Shubao led the Youzhou Army to successfully take over three cities north of the Yalu River. These people are all Qin Hu's generals and relatives. For Qin Hu, he

Naturally, he looked at him differently and directly ordered Li Qin to fight Xiang Haiming within ten days.

Due to Li Qin's neglect of duty, the situation in the Guanzhong area was already extremely critical at this time. Xiang Haiming, Liu Jialun and others formed a coalition of four armies with a total strength of more than 300,000. They basically completed the encirclement of Li Qin's ministry and were just one step away.

Feet, but Li Qin was still ignorant and had no idea.

After receiving the imperial edict, he only knew how to curse Qin Hu, but he did not know that death was about to come.
