The decisive battle started without any warning, which surprised many people.
This was the case in ancient military wars. Due to the inconvenience of communication, it often took several days to transmit messages.
If you go back and forth once, it is possible to travel a little longer and take half a month.
Therefore, as long as they do not encounter a foolish king, military generals who are generally conducting battles abroad will have extremely high power.
The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is impossible to make accurate predictions and deployment arrangements. It depends entirely on the level and talent of frontline military commanders, and the rear area is unable to make any decisions on the actual battlefield.
Therefore, as long as Su Pingbei thinks the time is right and starts a decisive battle, there will be no problem.
When this decisive battle, which determined the outcome of the entire battle, began, Li Chen was far away in the capital and did not know about it.
He was in the Baihua Palace having an affair with Zhao Rui, who had just returned.
The smooth back was covered with fine beads of sweat, and the snow-white and tender skin was red. Zhao Rui groaned softly and lay softly on the bed.
She tried her best to raise her arms to cover her body, and said to Li Chen: "Your Highness, I miss you so much."
Li Chen lay on the side panting heavily, playing with the ends of Zhao Rui's hair, and said with a smile: "I can see it."
This sentence made Zhao Rui's pretty face, which was still blushing, become even more charming.
Although he had just finished playing around, Li Chen still had some unfinished thoughts. A hand hidden under the quilt kept moving around Zhao Rui's soft and elastic body. On the other side, Li Chen asked casually: "Xishan, your father"
How are things going over there?"
Zhao Rui knew that Li Chen was not simply asking about his well-being or asking about family affairs. She forced herself to endure Li Chen's fiddling with his big hands and answered: "The current situation is pretty good. Last year, the imperial court allocated money and food, and the disaster in Xishan Province
It's barely under control, and although a lot of people died in the winter, it's much better than expected."
"The most important thing is the rebels. Because of the internal strife, many rebels fled to death. I heard that the government was providing disaster relief and setting up porridge shacks. Many rebels put down their weapons and returned to their status as common people.
Now, the size of the rebel army is getting smaller and smaller, from about 100,000 to 20,000 to 30,000."
"My father said that the rebels are essentially the displaced refugees and victims of the disaster. Before the natural disaster, they were all ordinary people farming. As long as spring plowing arrives, if the government can distribute some fields, they can be disintegrated without the need for a single soldier.
Get rid of the remaining 20,000 to 30,000 victims."
"After all, there are fields and food to eat, and no one is willing to rebel."
Li Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Did you overhear this by yourself, or did your father say it specifically in front of you?"
Zhao Rui's expression changed and he immediately got up from the bed. Regardless of his naked state, he knelt under the bed and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me. This is what my father asked my concubine to pass on."
Saying that, Zhao Rui stood up and took out a secret letter, raised his hands in front of Li Chen, and said in a trembling voice: "This is the letter that my father asked me to personally deliver to His Highness."
Li Chen didn't have much expression on his face.
As the chief envoy sent by the East Palace to the Xishan Provincial Committee with important responsibilities, Zhao Heshan naturally has a very smooth channel and can deliver memorials to the East Palace as quickly as possible. In fact, he has always used this channel before.
But this time, Zhao Heshan asked Zhao Rui to bring the memorial in person.
