When an immediate elder dies, the official needs to worry for three years, and even if the general is not dismissed, he will have three months off. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Feng Qixiang planned to accompany Qiao Lan back to Lishan County and then to Fengyang, however, the plan could never catch up with the changes.

It is said that a few years ago, the angry Dingyuan army subdued, defeated, and disabled the Nanban and Nanyue coalition forces, and could annex them at any time, but the second prince with wolf ambitions had the intention to operate, accepted the surrender letter, and transferred the Dingyuan army to northern Xinjiang, so that it was damaged by more than half under the cold of northern Xinjiang......

The Southern Coalition Army was injured by the Dingyuan Army, and its vitality was greatly damaged, so it was very honest in the past few years, but there is a saying that the country is easy to change its nature and is difficult to move, Nanban and Nanyue are like two poisonous snakes, if they are not completely killed, they will bite back when they slow down, so the south will not lie dormant forever, unless it is directly incorporated into the territory of the country.

Like the kingdom of Qi, the new Nanban Xinjin was also a change of regime, and the newly appointed emperor Nagu Duolu was very belligerent, and he also promoted a group of militants to annex Nanyue under the pretense of a union......

It is only a matter of time before the Nanban makes a comeback to trouble the country, and it is not that the country has not received any wind here, and it is precisely because of this that Feng Qixiang was summoned to the palace on the second day of his wedding.

In the past month, the Dingyuan army has been evacuated one after another, and the vanguard has also arrived in southern Xinjiang and arranged a defensive line...... As soon as the old marquis's funeral ended, Wu Guishan took the last 10,000 Dingyuan troops to southern Xinjiang.

Feng Qixiang and Qiao Lan returned to Lishan County, and they also had the idea of going to southern Xinjiang to take a look, which was the place where his ancestors and fathers swore to defend to the death, and that was also his battlefield.

The luggage for the south had been packed, and in the early morning of the day of departure, the 800-mile urgent war report arrived in Beijing, and the Nanban united with Bowen to attack. Bowen is south of Nanban, separated by the moat-like Xilalang Mountain, and because of this, the warlike Bowen continues to expand its territory to the south and west, but to the north can only look at the mountains and sigh.

Historically, Bowen's soldiers and horses have tried to cross the Xilalang Mountains several times, encroach on Nanban and Nanyue, and invade Dada...... All ended in failure.

Gu Duolu didn't know whether it was because of his brain or how, but he actually joined forces with Bowen and opened a sea passage in the east, allowing Bowen's soldiers and horses to bypass the Xilalang Mountain. Bowen going north is not good for Da, and it is good for southern Xinjiang.

A few years ago, Nanban was almost annexed by the country of Qi, and if it weren't for the country's own internal strife, Nanban would have been a state and county of the country long ago.

Gu Duolu still clearly remembers that in that year, when the Dingyuan army attacked the capital of Nanban, the general named Wu Guishan swore in front of the formation, "Nanban Nanyue will not die, and Dingyuan will never stop", and then, Da Yi accepted the surrender letter of Nanban and Nanyue, and the Dingyuan army retreated.

After he ascended the throne, he worked hard to recuperate, just in order to one day, to be able to counteract the country and regain the prestige of the country, who would have thought that his era had just begun, and the Dingyuan army that terrified the Southern Barbarians was back. This is to make him Nanban forever in a precarious situation, and the people are in a situation where their livelihood is not good.

Nanban Nanyue will not die, and it will be far away......

The death of the hussar general has always been a knot that cannot be dissolved.

There was no way back between him and the country, so he turned to Bowen in the south, and instigated Bowen to take advantage of the fatigue of the country after the catastrophe to attack it, and he also came up with a sea passage very strangely......

Gu Duolu is purely harming others and not benefiting himself, and even if he finally resists the invasion of Bowen, he will still break his muscles and bones.

Wu Guishan was still on his way south, and the battle situation in the south was reported by the vanguard troops.

In the middle of the night, Song Zhenzong was silent for a long time in the face of the battle report and the wire report he had planted in Nanban before convening his ministers to discuss.

When the civil and military officials who were wandering in various dreams were woken up, they all scolded and scolded, but when they heard that it was the emperor who summoned them, they quickly changed into court clothes and quickly entered the palace.

Hundreds of candles burned silently, illuminating the Golden Luang Hall as brightly as day.

Ninety percent of the officials were already standing in their assigned positions, greeting each other and inquiring about each other, but they were still confused and ignorant of the battle in front of them.

Soon, Zhan Fulang came out of the inner sanctum and returned to his position on the right side.

Several officials next to him stretched out their heads to ask him for news, and a little farther away, the officials who couldn't get close to the water and the building first also held their ears, for fear of missing every word and word that Lord Zhan said.

On weekdays, he likes to make a few innocuous jokes, but he is not in the mood to laugh with others at this time, the matter is big, it may shake the country, he has the world in his heart, and what he hates most is war, which is worse than natural disasters.

Although Lord Zhan didn't answer, it could be guessed from his ugly face that things were not going well.

Is the Queen Mother bad? Where is the disaster again? The emperor wants to use force against the king?

The civil and military officials speculated all kinds of things, and it was not until Song Zhenzong came out to sit down on the dragon chair and asked Changde to read out the battle report of the Dingyuan army, that they knew that the matter was much more serious than they imagined.

At the beginning of the war, some people fought and some people made peace, and it was generally a dispute between the civil and military factions, with the military attachés asking for war, and the civilian officials talking about peace, and they were always quarrelling.

In the general's view, southern Xinjiang has always been a place for military attaches to earn military merits, but the Dingyuan army was stationed there, nothing happened, and then the Dingyuan army left southern Xinjiang, and it was very stopped there, and they didn't have anything to do with themselves, now the opportunity is coming, the Dingyuan army has just arrived in southern Xinjiang and has not yet gained a firm foothold, if you bring troops over at this time, subdue the Nanban again, or directly encroach on the Nanban, the glory that belonged to the Dingyuan army in the past is your own!

There are not a few people who have the above ideas, and basically the generals who stayed in the capital are eager to try.

One after another, the people who invited the war were vying to solve the emperor's worries.

Song Zhenzong's eyebrows jumped suddenly, the scene in front of him was even more disturbing than the war report, if it was next to him, he might have allowed these people to go to southern Xinjiang to throw their heads and sprinkle blood as they wished, and then shroud the body in horse leather, but Bowen's invasion is not trivial, let these people who are hot-headed for the sake of war exploits go, and turning back is not as simple as cleaning up the mess.

What he wants is to keep Bowen out of the country, so that it does not have the opportunity to contaminate any inch of the country.

Chang Gonggong was instructed to stand up and read out another secret report, which described in detail the situation of the country of Bowen, including its national strength and military strength......

Knowing that the territory of Bowen was twice as large as that of the country, the enthusiastic generals seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water, and they calmed down in an instant.

The Bouvins were murderous, and it was useless to surrender to them after defeat, because they never bothered with the prisoners of war, they all killed them directly...... Murderous beyond anyone's imagination.

The silence spread in the Jinluan Palace, and those who originally came out to ask for war also shrank like quails, for fear that the emperor would not find anyone to fight, and then think of himself.

Someone patted his brain, oops, isn't the Dingyuan Army in Southern Xinjiang, what kind of hurry are we following

"According to the war report, Bowen has gathered 100,000 troops in Nanban, and it is expected that it will eventually exceed 300,000 troops......" Chang Gonggong couldn't help but tremble when he read this.

There are 300,000 troops, and there are elite soldiers and strong generals, but the Dingyuan army is only 80,000 when it is full, how can it be fought? No matter how strong the Dingyuan army is, it is also a mortal in the flesh, not a god general.

A strong sense of crisis enveloped the magnificent Jinluan Palace......
