General Zhao said earnestly that he had always known that Wu Chongxing was a man who would take risks for the sake of merit, but what he wanted now was to play it safe.

"The last general will remember the teachings of the great general."

"good."

Zhao Cuo nodded.

"Now tell me about the changes in the situation in the south."

In fact, he had received information from all aspects, but he still wanted to compare it with Wu Chongxing to make sure that his vision and hearing had not been deceived.

"Reporting to General Zhao, the deposed emperor has reunited 100,000 troops in the six kingdoms and hoarded them at Yunqiguan in Qi..."

Wu Chongxing carefully stated the information he had in his possession.

"The soldiers of the Dragon Clan have united with the remnants of southern Xinjiang and have entered the border of Dayu. The Xisha Kingdom army has been trapped in Ningxi Mansion by us."

He explained the current situation succinctly. In one month, it will be the spring when everything will revive. Unfortunately, the war will also be ignited at the same time.

"Have you and General Zhao discussed how to fight this battle?"

Mr. Zhao said calmly.

"There have been several discussions."

The military officer nodded.

"We think we should attack the six countries in one fell swoop first."

Although General Zhao listened to his words without changing his expression, he didn't agree with it in his heart, so he continued.

"Why? If we capture the South China Sea, we can use the naval forces of the two rivers to attack cities and build strongholds when advancing, and transport food and people when retreating. Isn't it wonderful?"

"The general thinks it's inappropriate. If we attack the Dragon Clan with all our troops, Emperor Yongzhao will definitely take Ningxi Mansion and join forces with the Gu Clan. We must not come here!"

Wu Chongxing shook his head firmly.

"If they capture Ningxi Mansion, their morale will be high after such a great victory, and my subordinates will think that they should cut off the trouble quickly before they achieve success!"

Zhao Cuo nodded lightly. Wu Chongxing's style of play has always been to win quickly. Every plan is to take the enemy by surprise and attack them unprepared. He is well versed in the deception of soldiers.

"What if I say that the Dragon Clan is planning something that is detrimental to the war? The situation is extremely urgent and we must capture it first and plan for it?"

He asked again without hesitation. There were only two roads in front of him now, and he did not dare to go his own way.

"this……"

Wu Chongxing suddenly looked embarrassed.

"I just listened to your words, general. It seems that as long as we can keep Ningxi Mansion, it doesn't matter if we attack the Dragon Clan first?"

Seeing that he was silent for a while, Mr. Zhao asked again.

"That's right."

The military commander said hesitantly.

"However, the Ningxi Mansion has only 50,000 troops. In addition, this is the Ning Kingdom among the previous seven kingdoms. The people may not sincerely join Dayu, so..."

What he meant was that under the current conditions, the deposed emperor could not be allowed to attack Ningxi Mansion.

"What if General Wu goes to Ningxi Mansion in person?"

Zhao Thief went even further.

"Subordinate..."

Wu Chongxing was speechless for a moment.

How can he be sure that he can accomplish this?

No one dares to boast about this matter!

"There is no rush at this time. You can go back and discuss with Commander Zhao to come up with a strategy that has both sides."

Zhao Cuo patted him on the shoulder. If he didn't have a strategy to minimize the risk, he might also choose to deal with the Dragon Clan first.

"General, I understand. I will convey your thoughts to General Zhao. I won't let you down."

He said decisively.

The young father-in-law had a friendly conversation with him before letting him go.

Then he met with several generals of the Confederate Army. Corporal Li Xian exchanged greetings with them and also asked some important questions.

"The fight will start in another half month. Mr. Gu's last letter told me that the Dragon Clan is awakening the memory of the eldest sister in some way..."

Thief Zhao walked out of the study room of the Governor's Mansion and walked towards his dormitory. It was almost noon and it was time to feel comfortable.

However, he didn’t know that the person in his room was no longer a little beauty~

But...

"I'll just clean up here."

Youxin invited several maids who came in to go out.

She seemed to close the door of Zhao Cuo's bedroom nonchalantly.

The little witch just got up and was taken to have breakfast by the Duke's wife, so she was alone in the room now.

"Speaking of which, I haven't cleaned my son's room for a long time. When my parents were just transferred out of the capital, I was always keeping an eye on the cleaning of his room."

Zhao Shangxin murmured to himself calmly, as if to convince himself that he didn't even know what he was doing now.

"It's such a mess... it's outrageous."

She had already walked to the bed at this time.

The bed quilt that came into view was a mess.

Even Miss Zhao couldn't help but blush when she saw this.

"This still needs to be cleaned every day. Let's ask the maid to make the bed again later, huh?"

She hugged the bed quilt in her arms, and the subtle smell made her stunned for a while. It was at this time that she neglected to sense the surrounding scent.

"The smell of wrongness..."

Enjoyable murmur.

"Um?"

Her expression suddenly changed.

The scene outside entered her mind at this moment.

Zhao Cuo walked over quickly, met the maid who was driven away by her, and then asked...

"When I return to the young master, the eldest lady is in your room and says she wants to clean it up for you herself."

When Zhao Shanxin heard this sentence from the distance, her eyes almost went dark. There was no point in leaving now, right?

"Eldest sister? I understand, you go and do your business."

Zhao Thief walked towards the yard in front of him in surprise.

It was only after he took a few steps that he realized that he hadn't asked Xiao Chen about anything.

The child should be awake. Are they both in the room? He quickened his steps unconsciously.

"I'm in."

"Creak~"

Zhao mistakenly knocked on the door and pushed it away.

A plump woman wearing a moon-white Confucian shirt stood in his room.

She had a decent and generous smile on her smooth oval face, and she was holding his bed bag in her arms, which was no different.

"Have you gone to see those generals? I'll come over and clean up your room. Anle was called by her mother."

Youxin said softly, there was nothing unusual about her behavior, she was as gentle as jade.

"You don't have to do this yourself."

Mr. Zhao blinked his eyes.

"I do."

Zhao Shanxin opened her charming peach blossom eyes and rolled her eyes at him.

"I bullied you like that last night, and you will clean my room now. My eldest sister is really the best."

Zhao Thief seemed to be moved. As he spoke, he couldn't help but stepped forward, opening his hands to embrace the charming eldest sister in his arms.

"Come on, I'll have someone wash your quilt. You can go to the dining hall to have lunch after you get ready."

"I want to go with you."

Zhao Cuo hugged her from behind.

"What are you saying that makes no sense?"
