The general will give birth soon

After the discussion, Si You went back to his room to pack his bags and prepare to go to the Yangjiang battlefield.

Baobao didn't understand why he had to be separated from the general's father again, and asked Gu Chongming with a sad face. Gu Chongming said that this was a battle plan, and that adults had a lot of things to do, and it was normal to separate from time to time.

Baobao pursed his lips, felt sad for a while, and whispered, "Daddy, did Yuansi and Qinghui's daddy hit you?"

Gu Chongming was taken aback, Bao Bao asked Si You again: "Did you kill the general's father?"

Gu Chongming quickly squatted down, embraced Baobao's small body, and asked cautiously, "Where did you know that?"

"I was playing outside just now. I heard someone passing by. I hid behind the house and they didn't see me." Bao Bao thought for a while and added, "I don't like Yuan Si and Qing Hui's father , um...not including Your Majesty."

Si You looked at Gu Chongming and said, "Sure enough, as you thought, it spread so quickly."

"It's good to spread the word." Gu Chongming said calmly, then leaned over and stroked Bao Bao's head to comfort him, "It was Daddy who did something wrong, and Yuansi and Qinghui's dads criticized Daddy, you didn't think so. It's so serious. And, from now on, you can only say this in front of your father, and you can't let other people hear it, you know?"

Baobao pouted and nodded unhappily, and said in a muffled voice, "I know."

Si You had already received the order, so it was inconvenient to stay longer, so he kissed Gu Chongming and Bao Bao's foreheads as usual, and rode away.

Gu Chongming and Baobao chased his figure for a long distance. The pitiful appearance of the father and son was obvious to all soldiers in the camp.

Compared with Great Xia, the Yue Kingdom is at the end of its strength, but it still has two advantages, one is the natural moat of Yangjiang, and the other is the elite navy of Yangjiang.

Daxia has lived in the wilderness for many years, the cavalry is brave, but the navy is weak, only Dingguo Bo Sixing has experience in water warfare.

The two sides confronted each other in Yangjiang, and the artillery fire lasted for two months. Ding Guobo finally won, and Yangjiang and the three surrounding states were included in the Daxia territory.

After crossing the Yangjiang River, the Yue Kingdom is almost in danger. The court is in turmoil and the people are in a panic. The Jing and Xian countries in the south are once again in the same crisis as when the Wen Kingdom was destroyed seven years ago.

The situation in Daxia is very good, and it seems that it is about to win the world. On this day, the obstacles on both sides of the Yangjiang River were completely cleared. Ding Guobo invited Emperor Chengxuan to come and board his warship to enjoy the scenery of Yangjiang.

Standing on the bow of a huge warship, Emperor Chengxuan looked at the mountains and rivers for thousands of miles, and his heart was filled with emotion——

What he saw was what his father should have seen long ago;

His mood at this moment was originally intended to be shared with Xiao Yuheng.

However, his father passed away early, and Xiao Yuheng hasn't improved much in the past two months. Although he is awake, he sleeps more often. Occasionally, he is weak when speaking, and often has difficulty breathing.

Emperor Chengxuan originally planned to send him back to the palace for recuperation, but Xiao Yuheng disagreed, and he felt uneasy unless he saw the situation of Nanzheng with his own eyes.The imperial doctor said that Xiao Yuheng's illness was very important, so Emperor Chengxuan had no choice but to follow his wishes.

Just thinking about this, Ding Guo Bo Sixing greeted him from behind, and said: "The wind is strong on the river, I ask your majesty to enter the cabin to rest for a while. I still have some trivial matters here, and I want to report them to your majesty."

Emperor Chengxuan nodded, turned around and entered the cabin, and the soldiers on both sides were aggressive and ready.

In the cabin, Emperor Chengxuan sat at the head seat, sipped the tea presented by Uncle Ding, and asked, "What do you want to report?"

Ding Guobo bowed, "Your Majesty asked me to take Yangjiang within four months, and now I have fulfilled His Majesty's will two months ahead of schedule."

Emperor Chengxuan smiled, "Does Aiqing want to receive a reward? Don't worry, after the Southern Expedition, I will definitely..."

"I can't wait any longer, and what your majesty rewards may not be what I really want." Ding Guobo smiled cunningly.

The doors and windows that were originally wide open were snapped shut, and there were a few clicks on the floor, and a dozen soldiers jumped out with shining weapons in their hands.

Emperor Chengxuan glanced around from the corner of his eye, his eyes tightened, and he said in a deep voice: "Qing, this is to show me how clever your warship is?"

"Your Majesty is not afraid in the face of danger, and I admire it. I just don't know if His Majesty's indifference at the moment is real, or is it just pretending, or... I don't understand the situation, and I foolishly think that the danger is far away." Ding Guobo showed disdain.

Emperor Chengxuan pushed the teacup aside, raised his eyebrows, and finally showed anger, "Uncle Ding, do you know that every word you said and everything you did just now are enough to satisfy you?" your head."

"Of course I know, but does Your Majesty have the ability to ask for my head now? Your Majesty, you are already too busy to take care of yourself."

Emperor Chengxuan was silent, Ding Guobo patiently shared the situation with him.

"The most useful person by His Majesty's side, Xiao Shijun can't afford to be sick, Youer is under the control of the minister, the most elite Xuanjia cavalry battalion and His Majesty's personal soldiers are leaderless, and it is really easy for the minister to take them into their own use."

"Your Majesty can be unyielding, but once you are gone, what will happen to the world?"

"The prince is young. In the midst of such chaos, which courtier would dare to support his superior and help him wholeheartedly, guarding the empty capital to fight against him? Was it Gu Chongming, whom His Majesty used to trust and rely on the most?"

Ding Guobo smiled, "Let's not talk about whether he will be loyal now that he is despised by His Majesty. Even if he is loyal, once His Majesty is gone, do you think he will be in danger based on his loyalty and strengths, or will he choose to be a minister?" Son-in-law, how can you easily keep your family rich?"

"All in all, without His Majesty, it won't take long for the Great Xia Dynasty to be gone."

The corner of Emperor Chengxuan's mouth twitched, "So, Qing seems to be thinking of me?"

"I really think about His Majesty." Ding Guobo bowed hypocritically, "I have prepared an excellent choice for Your Majesty."

"Oh? What is it?" Emperor Chengxuan asked calmly.

"Your Majesty, I ask your Majesty to give all the land that has been conquered by the Southern Expedition so far and the soldiers and horses that I currently have in my hands, so that I can stand on my own feet. In the future, I will be friends with Daxia, and we can still help each other."

Emperor Chengxuan was not surprised at all, and said with a smile: "You must have said these words not only to me, but also to the monarch of Yue Kingdom."

Emperor Chengxuan didn't pay attention to the surrounding armored soldiers at all, got up from behind the case, walked to the front freely and said: "No matter how bad the Yue Kingdom is, it won't be impossible to defend it for three months with the Yangjiang natural moat. Taking Yangjiang in a month must have been discussed with the Yue Kingdom early, Yangjiang belongs to you, and you promise that Daxia will not advance, right?"

Ding Guobo lowered his eyes and smiled, "Your Majesty is wise."

"Poor Yue, the ruler of the country, is so weak!"

"He who understands current affairs is a hero. Losing the entire Yue Kingdom and losing Yangjiang is the lesser of two evils. He is a smart man."

Emperor Chengxuan snorted disdainfully.

"Your Majesty thinks what I said is wrong? During the Southern Expedition, the most difficult Yangjiang River was conquered by me. If I take back my own things, Your Majesty has not lost anything. What's wrong with returning to the court and continuing to be the Taiping monarch?"

"Your things?" Emperor Chengxuan's eyes showed disgust.

"Isn't it? Could it be that the world was originally surnamed Yuan?"

"Presumptuous!" Emperor Chengxuan said angrily, "The world is home to those who practice the king's way. The Wen Kingdom in those days and the Yue Kingdom today have all lost their way, so they were conquered by our dynasty. But what about you? He is dishonest, speaks out loud, and thinks he is a hero, shameless!"

Ding Guobo was unmoved, and closed his eyes lightly, "Your Majesty is right, but if Mr. Xiao hadn't been angered by His Majesty so much that he fell ill prematurely, and if You'er hadn't been dispatched here by His Majesty, I'm afraid it will take some time for you to act. Think twice. Your Majesty has dug his own grave, do you want to blame the minister?"

"Ha." Emperor Chengxuan sneered, his tone relaxed, "Suddenly, I really don't know whether to call you smart or stupid."

Ding Guobo opened his eyes.

"You want to fight for the world, but you don't want to kill me? Threats and lures, easy gains, and then guarding Yangjiang to dream?" Emperor Chengxuan folded his arms and shook his head. Is it okay for a trader to conspire with the world? You are too far behind."

Ding Guobo narrowed his eyes.

"The world needs to be down-to-earth, obtained with strength and heart, and there is no room for luck. When you and the king of Yue are trying to stabilize the moment, or compromise and retreat, or intrigue, you have already lost."

Emperor Chengxuan clenched his fist with one hand, his tone and expression were extremely firm.

Suddenly, Ding Guobo was inexplicably flustered, and was about to order the soldiers to do something when he heard a few muffled noises outside the cabin, and then the cabin door crashed down, and Si You stood there in silver armor, holding a chopping lance .

Ding Guobo immediately winked at the soldiers, and the soldiers quickly divided into two teams, one team stopped Si You, and the other approached Emperor Chengxuan.

Emperor Chengxuan smiled again, "Uncle Ding, the matter has come to this point, you still don't understand?"

There was another clicking sound from the bottom of the cabin, and the emperor's personal guards in hard attire jumped up one after another, fighting with the soldiers in the cabin.

Ding Guobo knew that things had changed, and wanted to go out to see what happened, but Si You choked him.

Si You held Zhan Fengqiang in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "My lord father, let's capture him without a fight."

"Arrest without a fight?" Ding Guobo still did not give up. "The soldiers in this area are all my subordinates, and the warships all obey my orders. Even if you charge up with people, it's just a stubborn resistance. You'er, do you want to fight?" Intervene, don't blame me for disregarding the relationship between father and son!"

Si You shook his head in pain, "My lord father, you are caught without a fight, so as to admit your mistake, Your Majesty...maybe spare your life."

"Nonsense! The general situation is still in my hands, so don't scare me!"

Ding Guobo snatched the weapon from the downed soldier and rushed out of the cabin.In his opinion, although Si You is brave, but after all, she is pregnant, her fighting power is not as good as before, and she may not dare to attack herself.

Ding Guobo greeted Si You with a knife, and Si You raised the wind-chopper to block it. When the two confronted each other, Ding Guobo saw the scene outside from the wide-open door——

The main ship was surrounded by groups of warships. In the middle of the encirclement, it is said that Gu Chongming, who was despised by Emperor Chengxuan, was standing on the bow in his official uniform, and beside him stood a slender man who looked a little weak in the river wind. The person who should have been sleeping on the sickbed.

Xiao Yuheng.
