The two kings met alone. When they returned to the team, they also looked at each other again by their respective cars.

"Take care all the way, sister Wang." Xiao Yuan said loudly, waved his hand and said goodbye to him.

King Xuan moved the corners of his mouth, as if he was reluctant to leave. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't speak. Finally, he could only say the same thing: "Brother Wang, take care of it."

Then, the two returned to the car separately and the team began to walk separately.

I don’t know how long it took, but it was already snowing outside. The soldiers of Xuan Army were still walking slowly, with long halberds standing in front of him and armor rubbing against each other.

Inside the car, King Xuan wrapped himself in his coat, dazed intently, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xie Hongling rode a war horse and was next to the king's carriage. Seeing heavy snow, she couldn't help but say, "King, it's snowing. Do you want to make some fires and bring them?"

"Ah?" King Xuan in the car came to his senses, lifted the curtains and looked outside, "No, I'm very warm."

As she said that, she put down the curtain again, sat in the car and gently stroked her coat.

On the other side.

In the slight bump of the car, Xiao Yuan was wearing a quilt and holding a bamboo slip in his hand, reading a book.

The king's car was of course spacious enough, with a bed inside. After a while, he threw down the bamboo slips and shouted outside: "Xu Hu."

"Ah? King." Xu Hu rode his horse next to the king's carriage.

"Where did you go?" Xiao Yuan did not lift the curtain, but only spoke.

"Go back to the king, we're almost at Shanyuguan."

"It's getting late, right?"

"Yes."

"Send someone to tell Wang Lin to rest in Shanyuguan tonight, and ask him to arrange tents, supper, and fire to keep warm for the soldiers in advance. In addition, please call Lord Shangguan over."

"promise!"

Xu Hu took the order, pulled the reins slightly, and rode his horse away.

Not long after, Shangguan Wenruo hurried over, and the car stopped temporarily. He hurried forward and bent down and bowed: "King."

"Come in."

"Yes." The latter responded, first patted the wind and snow on his body, tidied up the official uniform, and then got into the car. After entering, he saluted respectfully, stood with his hands down, and then secretly glanced at Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan is still wrapped in a quilt and does not forget to rub his hands, acting casually: "This weather is cold."

After muttering, he said, "By the way, it's snowing heavily this winter. After returning to the court, I plan to let the soldiers take a leave and go home to see them. In addition, in terms of military pay, the country will give the soldiers more benefits at the end of the year. If they can be distributed, let the counties allocate some."

"This..." Shangguan Wenruo pondered: "The king raised the military salary of soldiers several times, which has long exceeded the rest of the countries. Although it is to motivate the soldiers, should I consider it again?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan frowned slightly and said, "The soldiers followed me to fight south and north, and they struggled all the way. They built these inches of mountains and rivers, and today's Qin. They fought their lives and threw away their blood. For the soldiers, if the country could not even take care of these, then I would be too dereliction of duty."

But Shangguan Wenruo said, "King, it is already very good for the soldiers to win military merits. This is impossible in all countries. The morale of the army is even more gathering, without any problem..."

Knowing what he means, I undoubtedly hope to reduce state spending without any need, Xiao Yuan interrupted him and said, "I'm not asking you to discuss it. Of course, I know that there is no problem with the morale of the army. Doing so is not a problem with the morale of the army."

"Sir Shangguan, our low-level officers and ordinary soldiers, especially infantry, often have hard battles. On this, we must make their military pay and welfare able to support their parents, wives and children, and more than enough. Regardless of whether the country has money or not, this expense cannot be saved."

"And after this award, I will improve the status of soldiers in the country."

"This..." Shangguan Wenruo rolled his eyes and then said respectfully: "The king is wise, I agree."

Xiao Yuan looked at him and smiled, and said insincerely: "Did you literati make a lot of remarks about me and politeness? Do you think I don't know?"

"Ah!?" Hearing this, Shangguan Wenruo was shocked and hurriedly knelt down on the ground: "How dare I, the king, let me know what to do."

"Okay, you go down first. Let's talk about this after you get back." Xiao Yuan waved his hand.

"Yes, I'm going to leave." Shangguan Wenruo quickly saluted.

Did Xiao Yuan value martial arts and slim literature? In fact, there was something in his heart, but he did not suppress any of the gentry affairs, but instead served as an official in many times.

A country needs civil officials who are good at governing the country, and military generals who dare to fight. Civil and military officials are indispensable.

The team continued to move forward, and it was late at night and finally arrived at Shanyuguan.

At this time, the guard Wang Lin had naturally received the news that he had led his subordinates to wait at the city gate under the wind and snow.

Seeing King Xiao Yuan, he quickly stepped forward, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "I will welcome the king, I, Wang Wannian!"

There were still some snowflakes on his helmet.

Xiao Yuan lifted the curtain and walked out, waved his hand casually: "Get up, have you done everything you have to tell you?"

"Don't worry, I have made urgent preparations after receiving the king's order. Now it's almost ready." Wang Lin stood up and returned.

"Yeah, thank you for your hard work." Xiao Yuan nodded, subconsciously glanced at the wind and snow around him, and then walked out of the car.

Wang Lin quickly bowed and stretched out his hand: "King, be careful of snow slips."

After the army entered Shanyuguan, Wang Lin had indeed prepared everything. Not only had the smoke from the cooking stove rise, but a lot of charcoal fires were also ignited.

Council hall.

There was a large brazier in the middle, and the charcoal fire was very strong. After Xiao Yuan came in, he first patted the wind and snow, then rubbed his hands as cold as he rubbed his hands. While going forward to roast the fire, he also greeted everyone: "Don't stand, come here to keep warm."

Ah? Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

"Why are you still standing stupidly?" Xiao Yuan repeated again.

This time, everyone came to their senses, responded one after another, and then surrounded Xiao Yuan's side.

With the strong charcoal fire, the cold on his body really drove out a lot. Xiao Yuan also smiled and said to Xu Rong: "Xu Rong, you have a lot of military achievements in expelling foreign enemies this time. It's true. I, the general of the Qin army, should do this on the battlefield."

Xu Rong felt so happy in front of so many people, and he was praised by the king. He seemed to be stepping on the clouds, and his face was full of excitement: "It is the honor of the last general to be loyal to the king!"

"Okay! You all have outstanding military achievements. After returning to the capital, I will also reward you on your merits!"

"Thank you, King--" Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
