It was still early in the morning, and the golden sun shone in the palace hall. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The main hall is spacious and bright, eight red carved dragon pillars support the whole hall, white jade paves the ground, and sandalwood curls.

Emperor Li Bigao sat on the Jinluan chair, and the courtiers below were lined up on both sides, discussing important matters in the early court.

"Ma Shangshu, how is the situation in Southern Chu now?" Emperor Li Bi asked in a loud voice.

The relationship between the Southern Chu State and the Southern Tang State was bad, and the annual wars had always been a problem for Emperor Li Bi, which made him scruples.

"Your Majesty, good news ahead, two days ago, our soldiers fought a beautiful ambush battle, which caused the Chu State to lose a lot of men and horses, and in a short time, the frontier should be fine. Ma Shangshu of the military department immediately replied.

"Well, that's good. This Chu country has violated my border every year, and this time I can finally frustrate its sharpness, hahaha, happy. Emperor Li Bi smiled, was in a good mood, and said, "Do you Aiqing have other things to do?"

"Your Majesty, the so-called internal and external troubles, now that the border has been stabilized, it is time to solve the internal troubles. Ma Shangshu of the Ministry of War continued: "Some time ago, Baiyun City broke my 100,000 Chiyang Army, which greatly damaged the national prestige of our Southern Tang Kingdom. Now we have our hands free, and we should eradicate this fang, so as to boost my Southern Tang Dynasty!"

The 100,000 Chiyang army attacked Baiyun City and defeated Baiyun Mountain, which was spread in the Southern Tang Kingdom. The prestige of Baiyun City is also in full swing, and it is prestigious.

"Baiyun City. A cold light flashed in Emperor Li Bi's eyes, his gaze flickered, and he fell into deep thought.

"Your Majesty, no. Xu Shangshu hurriedly came out of the line and said: "Baiyun City is just a gang organization, not much different from the family sect. Moreover, in recent years, the Southern Tang Dynasty has been fighting wars every year, and the treasury has long been empty.

"Hmph, if the treasury is empty, it is even more necessary to send troops to attack Baiyun City. Ma Shangshu of the Ministry of War immediately said: "Your Majesty, everyone in the world knows that the Lord of Baiyun City has millions of gold coins in his hands, if he can capture Baiyun City and put those millions of gold coins into the treasury, our Southern Tang Kingdom will definitely be strong and strong." ”

"Ma Shangshu, how can the Lord of Baiyun City be Yi Yu, the entire Baiyun City has been completely built into an iron wall, and there are countless thunderstorms. Even General Ouyang Xu led an army of 100,000 to attack Baiyun City, but he was defeated and died. If you attack Baiyun City again, how many soldiers and horses will have to be lost, isn't this a child's play with the lives of soldiers? ”

"Haha, countless thunderbolts? A thunderbolt costs thousands of gold coins, how many thunderbolts do you think Baiyun City can have? The so-called countless thunderbolts are just exaggerations, in my opinion, they are just an excuse for the Chiyang Army to escape the guilt of defeat. Although Ouyang Xu is a strong person in the innate realm, this person is only a martial artist, and he doesn't know how to fight with soldiers at all, which leads to the defeat of the soldiers and death......"

"Well, the thunder is indeed expensive, and the two armies are at war, unless it is necessary, how can they be used. ”

"I also think that there are not so many thunderstorms, so in this way, the defeat of the Chiyang Army is probably due to the improper use of troops by the commander. ”

"Lord Liu, in this way, is it really possible to capture Baiyun City and get millions of gold coins?"

"It may be possible, but now that the treasury is empty, you have to have money and food to send troops. ”

"Haha, that's not simple, just levy some more taxes. ”

......

"It seems that Baiyun City does not have any improper actions, if it is an expedition, the imperial court will send troops to attack it twice, I am afraid it is morally untenable. ”

"Hehe, the whole world is not the king's land, what other reason does the imperial court need to attack Baiyun City. ”

"There are so many gang sects in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and it's no wonder that there are so many gold coins and treasures in Baiyun City. ”

"Lord Yan, do you think Your Majesty will send troops to the battle?"

"I don't know, it depends on the benefits and losses, if it is within the affordable range......"

In the main hall, many civil and military ministers were discussing, some were playing, some were talking to each other, and some were whispering, and they began to make noise.

"Quiet!" Emperor Li Bi sighed in a deep voice, his eyes flickered, paused, and said slowly: "If there are millions of gold coins to fill the treasury, why should we worry about the trouble of the Chu State in the Southern Tang Dynasty." In fact, the crown prince had also mentioned attacking Baiyun City to me before, just because he was at war with the Chu State. If there is a war on two fronts, I am afraid it will be disadvantageous, so I directly refused. Now that the frontier has calmed down, it is indeed time to think about it. ”

The reason why Emperor Li Bi mentioned the crown prince was naturally to give the prince military merits, after all, he only had the crown prince.

"Ma Shangshu, do you think that if I send you and the crown prince to attack Baiyun City, how many soldiers and horses will be needed?" Emperor Li Bi looked at Ma Shangshu of the military department and asked in a deep voice.

"100,000 is enough, but for the sake of safety, if Your Majesty gives the minister 200,000 troops, the minister and the crown prince will definitely be able to set foot in Baiyun City. Ma Shangshu of the military department was overjoyed, paused, and continued: "In addition, I implore Your Majesty to allow the national teacher Meng Shuming to accompany and protect Weichen and the crown prince, in case the city is broken and the remnants of Baiyun City, who are strong in martial arts, come to assassinate them." If there is the protection of the national teacher, this expedition should be foolproof. ”

Following Ma Shangshu's words, the eyes of the ministers in the hall couldn't help but look at the middle-aged man in white at the top of the left side of the main hall. This man has a long figure, wears a crown and hat, and his temperament is very dusty, and he is Meng Shuming, the protector of the Southern Tang Kingdom, who has a profound cultivation and is one of the few congenital realm powerhouses in the Southern Tang Kingdom.

The status of the innate realm powerhouse is extremely high, if he is unwilling to do something, Emperor Li Bi will not be able to force it.

"Would you like to go?" Emperor Li Bi couldn't help asking.

"Your Majesty's orders should be obeyed by your ministers. National teacher Meng Shuming bowed slightly.

"Good!" Emperor Li Bi was delighted and said in a loud voice: "Meng Guoshi and Ma Hongxiao listen to the order." I now command you to lead twenty ...... No, an army of 300,000 accompanied the crown prince Li Yu to conquer Bai in one fell swoop—"

Emperor Li Bizheng was talking, and suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the main hall.

"Your Majesty, it's a big deal, it's a big deal!"

A royal forest soldier was sweating profusely, his face was pale, and he rushed into the main hall in a panic, panting violently and said, "Prince...... The prince ......"

The ministers in the hall couldn't help but be shocked, and their eyes were puzzled and they all looked at the royal forest soldier who rushed into the main hall.

"What's wrong with the prince?" Emperor Li Bi's face changed, and he hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up, what's wrong with the prince?"

"Prince......" The Imperial Forest Army took a deep breath, cried with a sad face, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, something is wrong, Prince...... The prince was killed!"
