"Come on, Lord Fifth, let's have some tea first."

Yu Wenhao, who had always been too lazy, actually poured a cup of tea for Wu Xinrou himself in a decent manner. Wu Xinrou was very flattered and looked at Yu Wenhao strangely and said:

"My lord, are you being too polite?"

How could Fifth Xinrou not know Yu Wenhao's lazy character? Yu Wenhao's performance today was very different from usual~

Let's put it this way, Yuwen Hongru may not have drank the tea poured by this grandson, but today it was drank by Fifth Xinrou.

Too abnormal~

"Alas~"

Yu Wenhao sighed and sat back on the main seat, and said bitterly:

"Only when I lead an army to fight do I realize how difficult it was for the Fifth Lord before. Not only can the weak defeat the strong, but he can even win every battle. I admire him very much~

Now that the fifth man has rushed to the front line to preside over the war, I am very happy. He has dedicated his whole life for the country and the people and has made great contributions to the country.

What's wrong with me pouring you a cup of tea?"

Yu Wenhao had a playful expression on his face, and even praised Wu Xinrou a few words, which was vaguely flattering.

"Haha~"

Fifth Xinrou took a sip of the tea in the cup, raised her head and asked:

"My lord, didn't you just lose the battle? Why do you need to praise your subordinate so much?

It doesn’t matter, victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists.”

There was a flash of light in Wu Xinrou's eyes, and one of his meaningless words immediately made the commander fall into disgrace.

quiet.

"Uh~"

Yu Wenhao's cheeks were stunned, and his face became very embarrassed. After looking left and right, he asked cautiously:

"Sir, do you all know?"

Dugu Chengye and Dugu Nan, who had been watching the show, looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly, their cheeks trembling slightly.

If it weren't for Yu Wenhao's identity, they would have laughed out loud.

The thing is like this, just half a month before Wu Xinrou arrived at the front line, the Long Army and the Wu Army launched a large-scale fierce battle. Both sides invested a total of nearly 100,000 troops on the Qingzhou front line.

Prince Chen became interested and insisted on personally commanding the war. He threatened to give the Wu army a hard look. He ignored the dissuasion of Dugu Chengye and others and mobilized troops and horses without authorization, changing the pre-war plan.

The final battle naturally ended with the defeat of the Long Army. Yu Wenhao lost nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses, and even the Chinese army camp was forced to retreat nearly a hundred miles.

Fortunately, there were Dugu Chengye and Dugu Nan in the army to help him clean up the mess, otherwise the Long Army would most likely be completely defeated this time.

Yu Wenhao, who knew he was in trouble, pressed the military report and did not dare to report to the capital for fear of being scolded by his brother.

No, after Wu Xinrou arrived at the front line, he was even more polite. He just hoped that Wu Xinrou would conceal the situation for him after knowing the situation of the battle and not report it to the capital, so that he could escape.

Yu Wenhao's eyes were a little timid, he thought he

It was well hidden, but I didn’t expect Fifth Xinrou to have known about it for a long time. It’s not a good feeling to be exposed in person~

"Haha, Prince, don't worry."

Wu Xinrou smiled slightly and said: "After crossing the river in Xiaguan, we encountered many defeated troops. If we just asked a casual question, we would know that the army suffered a defeat on the front line. How could we hide this kind of news?

Your Majesty, military information is a top priority after all, there is no need to hide it, just speak it out openly."

How smart and witty is Wu Xinrou? Originally, he only knew about the defeat of the army, but when he arrived at the front line, he saw Yu Wenhao's demeanor and knew that the defeat had something to do with him.

Yu Wenhao said with a bitter look on his face:

"Fifth Lord, this defeat is all because I was careless and fell into Wu Jun's trick. I know I was wrong.

Please don’t tell His Majesty this matter, otherwise I will be scolded by my brother."

Before Yu Wenhao left the capital, Yu Wen Xingchen gave many instructions to him, that he must follow Dugu Chengye's advice in all wars and never go his own way, but Yu Wenhao still made a mistake.

If he makes a wrong move, the soldiers on the front line will bleed like rivers~

However, Yu Wenhao's attitude towards admitting his mistake was very good, and he did not try to make a fool of himself.

Fifth Xinrou pretended to have a serious face and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, I have concealed this defeat for you, but a similar situation must not happen again in the future.

The war is coming, we can't get out

Half a mistake.

If the prince makes another mistake, His Majesty will only punish him..."

When Wu Xinrou agreed, Yu Wenhao nodded excitedly and said:

"Yes, yes, that's natural. The battles on the front line are all based on your orders. I, the king, will never say a word on the sidelines."

Dugu Chengye and Dugu Nan looked at Wu Xinrou in surprise. This Minister of the Ministry of War is really powerful. Even Yu Wenhao, who has always been arrogant and domineering, can treat him submissively. How can Yu Wenhao still have any royal aristocrats now?

appearance.

"Your Majesty, you are serious." Wu Xinrou said with a smile:

"Now that we've finished chatting, let's get down to business now. What's the damage in this battle?"

"Yes, yes, let's talk about business!"

Yu Wenhao quickly winked at Dugu Chengye:

"Old General, it's up to you to tell me."

"promise!"

Dugu Chengye bent down to salute, looked at Fifth Xinrou and said:

"Sir, nearly 10,000 of our troops died in this battle, and tens of thousands of soldiers fled. Seven or eight camps on the front line were captured by the Wu army. Right now, the army is resting and reorganizing in each camp in preparation for another battle."

Dugu Chengye felt some pain in his heart. The 20,000 soldiers and horses were all gone. How could he not feel uncomfortable?

"That's a loss of more than 20,000 people~"

Wu Xinrou muttered softly: "Fortunately, it's not serious. It just has a slight impact on the morale of the army. It will take one or two victories to get it back."

"exactly!"

Dugu Chengye nodded in agreement.

No.

Wu Xinrou smiled and said: "As I said before, victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists. It will only be a matter of time before we defeat the Wu army."

Fifth Xinrou looked very confident. To be honest, except for one Ling Gong who deserved a little attention from Wu Jun on the opposite side, the others were nothing to worry about.

Dugu Nan asked softly from the side:

"Sir, has the war in the north really come to an end? Will Liang's army take advantage of the main force of our army to go south to kill a carbine?"

Hearing this, Yu Wenhao and Dugu Chengye's eyes widened a bit. They had been staying in the south of the Yangtze River and didn't know much about the war in the north of the Yangtze River. However, the Liang army had already reached the foot of the capital, but the whole army returned. It was really disappointing.

It's hard for people to believe.

Moreover, there had been cases where the Liang army pretended to retreat and then suddenly came back, so the two of them were quite worried.

"This withdrawal is absolutely real."

Fifth Xinrou stretched out her hand and pointed at Shuozhou and said:

"Beiliang Shuofeng City was almost lost, Zhu Tianhe died in the battle, and the heavy armor battalion was almost wiped out. Even if Chenyue didn't want to go back after such a huge loss, he had to go back.

As soon as the Liang army returned, they started a great war in Shuozhou, and even Tuoba Hong was killed by them."

"Tuoba Hong was really killed by Liang Jun?"

Dugu Nan and Dugu Chengye looked shocked.
