The fake daughter is also trying to exploit system loopholes today

"Isn't that possible?" Xu Man said weakly, "I can only communicate with wild animals and control their emotions through resonance. Those Jiejiao disciples are all practitioners, and their strength is much stronger than mine..."

Su Xiaomeng raised her hand to interrupt, "Don't be so self-deprecating, the rule-based ability is the strongest. Do you still remember the story of the river god? The Milky Way is also a river!"

"But……"

Seeing that Xu Man was still a little hesitant, Ye Jiamu stood up

"There are many fierce beasts in the King's Beast Garden, and the mounts of the generals are top-level monsters."

"If you want to know if your ability works, just try it and it won't work."

Emperor Xin also thought this was a good idea and readily agreed to it.

In this way, the group first came to the Zoo, and Xu Man tentatively plucked the strings of the zither.

As the sound of the piano spread, the roaring tiger stopped and lay quietly in front of Xu Man, kicking up its little paws and turning into a docile kitten.

The competitive wolf wagged its tail desperately at Xu Man, skipping the long domestication process and becoming a cute little dog...

The ferocious beasts were effective, and the next step was to test the demon beasts. Emperor Xin planned to ask Chong Heihu to borrow his mount, the Fire-Eyed Golden-Pupil Beast.

It was discovered that facing a monster with spiritual powers, the effect of Xu Man's piano music was greatly reduced. At most, he could catch the opponent by surprise. As long as the opponent concentrated, he would be able to break free immediately.

Just when everyone was feeling disappointed, Master Wen suddenly rode on the black unicorn and rushed over.

"Your Majesty, it's bad. Yuan Futong of Beihai has united with 52 princes to rebel. An army of 80,000 is marching south and has now begun to surround Chongzhou City."

"Chongzhou City is the gateway to the north. Once it falls, the king's safety will be threatened. Please give me an order to lead 30,000 troops to fight together with Beibohou to suppress the rebellion."

As an old minister entrusted with the care of the young emperor, Grand Master Wen Zhong did not waste any time and directly requested to fight.

Emperor Xin had already learned the hidden secrets of the North Sea countries from Su Xiaomeng, and he really didn't want Master Wen to lead the army to fight.

But they have no choice but to fight. The enemy's army is approaching. If Master Wen does not go, Chongzhou City will surely fall. By then, the enemy's troops will head straight for Chaoge, and the Shang Dynasty will be destroyed.

Just when Emperor Xin was struggling, Su Xiaomeng's voice came to his mind.

[Eh! Normally, shouldn't Yuan Futong have started his army a year later? Why did he start so early? Moreover, there are 20 less of the original 72 armies of princes, and 20,000 less of the original 100,000 troops.]

[Could Yuan Futong also be a time traveler? He is rebelling in advance, preparing to catch others off guard.]

[It's a good idea, but you must first stabilize the country before you can fight against foreign enemies. You haven't even unified all the small princes in your own territory. If you act so hastily, you will be exposed.]

I understand!

Emperor Xin's eyes lit up instantly, he cleared his throat and said loudly: "Master Wen, I know what you are thinking, but why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? I believe that the Northern Marquis can handle the 80,000 rebels himself."

When Wen Zhong heard what Emperor Xin said, his face suddenly changed and he spoke in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, there are only 10,000 defenders in Chongzhou City, while the enemy has 80,000 troops. If there is no support, Chongzhou City will be broken. When the army approaches, Chaoge will be in danger!"

Su Xiaomeng said calmly: "Master Wen, don't worry. Didn't the king say that he would not provide support? Chongzhou City is under siege, so we must send reinforcements."

"But as the saying goes, quality is more important than quantity. This time, we only need to send one reinforcement."

"One?" Wen Zhong couldn't believe his ears.

Emperor Xin was also a little confused. He thought of sending spies to contact those small princes who were unwilling to submit to Yuan Futong. The two sides would work together to deal with Yuan Futong. There were more than 20 princes. No matter how strong one person was, he would not be able to handle them all.

"Yes, one person is enough."

Su Xiaomeng pointed at Xu Man who was dressed as Bo Yikao, "Bo Yikao's music can control all kinds of beasts, and Beihai's most powerful cavalry is cavalry. He can destroy all the horses of the enemy and directly destroy most of the enemy's combat power."

"Great!"

Wen Zhong showed ecstasy on his face, "Your Majesty, there is no time to lose. The black unicorn under my crotch has a wind and cloud horn on its head. It can fly into the air with a clap, and its speed is extremely fast."

"Write this down. I will personally escort Bo Yikao to Chongzhou City to stop the cavalry from the Northern Sea countries from advancing southwards."

"No!" Su Xiaomeng hurriedly stopped Wen Zhong, "Master Wen, you can't leave. You must stay. Only if you stay in Chaoge, Chaoge will not be in chaos. If Chaoge is not in chaos, the world will not be in chaos."

In order to gain Emperor Xin's support, Su Xiaomeng deliberately spoke with her heart.

[How should I tell Emperor Xin? I can't tell him that for the Shang Dynasty, it doesn't matter who is the supreme ruler. The most important thing is Wen Zhong, the Grand Master. He is the pillar of the Shang Dynasty.]

[The rebellion in Beihai this time was ostensibly to drain the power of the Shang Dynasty through war, but in reality, it was to trap Master Wen in Beihai! ]

[No wonder they were afraid of Master Wen, mainly because Master Wen was really too powerful. Ever since Emperor Xin's grandfather, King Wen Ding of the Shang Dynasty, came down from the mountain in obedience to his master's orders, he had devoted all his energy to protecting the foundation of the Shang Dynasty, and had fought wars in all directions.]

[The "wen" in the proverb "wen is enough to stabilize a country, and wu is enough to stabilize a state" refers to Wen Zhong...]

When Emperor Xin first heard Su Xiaomeng say that he was not as important as Master Wen, he was a little angry. He was the king, so how could he not be as good as Wen Zhong.

But as Su Xiaomeng listed the achievements and abilities of Master Wen, Emperor Xin's anger gradually dissipated. Compared with Wen Zhong, a veteran of three dynasties, he really seemed not to be a necessity.

Thinking of this, Emperor Xin's mood obviously dropped. He waved his hand and said, "Grandmaster, Mengmeng is right. Chaoge really can't live without you!"

"Chong Heihu's mount, the Fire-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast, is quite fast. Besides, he is the younger brother of Beibohou Chonghouhu. Let him lead 3,000 Flying Tiger Soldiers to escort Bo Yikao to Chongzhou City."

Wen Zhong wanted to say something, but at this moment Emperor Xin was hurt by Su Xiaomeng's words. He waved his hand and left dejectedly.

Wen Zhong had personally watched Emperor Xin grow up. When he saw that he was in such a low mood, he thought that he was affected by the rebellion in Beihai, so he hurried over to comfort him.

"My king, you have done a good job. This is not your fault. It's their greed."

"I'm fine, just a little tired. Master Wen, please help me deal with the government affairs first. I'll take a rest first."

When Su Xiaomeng saw Emperor Xin’s lonely back, the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily. She found that she seemed to have made a mistake. After all, he was an emperor. Why was he so psychologically fragile?

Emperor Xin fell into emo mode, and Su Xiaomeng had no choice but to pull Su Yu and Ye Jiamu together to cheer him up.

It took a lot of time, and with the help of Xu Man, the Beihai rebels were temporarily repelled, and Emperor Xin finally rekindled his fighting spirit.

Back in the court, Emperor Xin was sitting on the throne with his golden sword, preparing to carry out his grand plan. The official in charge of observing the weather walked in with a solemn expression.

"My king, this is bad. According to the normal seasons, it should be spring and flowers should be blooming now. However, since the heavy snow on the winter solstice this year, there has been no rain or snow."

"Therefore, after the spring, there was no snow to melt and flow into the rivers. 90% of the rivers near Chaoge were dry, cracked due to drought, and almost all the fish and shrimp died."

"The worst part is that farmers tightened their belts and managed to plant spring crops by diving."

"But because of the lack of water, the grain seeds just sprouted and died because of the lack of water."

"Farmers have started eating grass roots and tree barks and digging Guanyin soil because of a lack of food. Some people have already starved to death."

"According to the stars, this drought will continue for another three months!"

"Your Majesty, please quickly issue an order for disaster relief!"

Emperor Xin's face was solemn, and he stood up suddenly. "Order to open the warehouses to help the people."

"As ordered."

When the Minister of Agriculture received the order and was about to leave, a woman's voice was heard outside the hall.

"Wait a minute!"

Under the gaze of everyone, Su Xiaomeng walked in carrying a cloth bag.

"Your Majesty, instead of giving away food for free, it is better to provide work instead of relief."

"While the river is running dry, why not arrange for disaster victims in the surrounding area to dig up river mud? Firstly, we can use the mud to make fertilizer, and secondly, we can widen the river."

"After a severe drought, there will be a severe flood. This will prevent the riverbanks from being breached and the farmland from being destroyed when a flood occurs later."

Uncle Wang Bigan stood up and said, "This is a good idea, but the food in the granary is limited. Digging river mud is a heavy labor, which will inevitably increase food consumption!"
