Chapter 412: That Night (20)
"Xiang'er!" His eyes glared at Yu Xiaoxiang, Xiao Feixing glanced at Xiao Muxing first, and found that his face began to blush with shame again at this moment, and he couldn't help but say in a deep voice to the little beauty beside him, which can be regarded as a warning or protection: "The eldest brother of the prince and the father are not like that, pay attention to your tone." ”
"Let her speak!" Suddenly, the door of the inner hall was opened, and Xiao Lingtian's figure appeared in front of everyone.
Xiao Feixing's reaction was the fastest, and he hurriedly got up and bowed down and said: "Father, Xiang'er is still young, he doesn't understand military affairs, and he is also favored by the third brother on weekdays, and if his words are disrespectful, please forgive my father Emperor Haihan." ”
"Even if you don't understand military affairs, you can tell right from wrong. I was wrong, could it be that I still act like a faint king, and dare not let future generations tell me?" Xiao Lingtian stretched out his hand to help Xiao Feixing up, looked at Yu Xiaoxiang, and said seriously: "Indeed, as you said, whether I was or the courtiers back then, they all thought that Qinglong'er was too young, and although he won a big victory on the battlefield, his strategic vision was not good, so he was blinded by the villain. In the final analysis, if it weren't for my great joy, how could there have been a tragic event of the great rout in southern Xinjiang. I'll tell you the rest of the story. Especially the junior, when you lead the army in the future, you must also take caution and stop following the old path of being a father and your eldest brother. ”
"No, please teach my father. Xiao Feixing solemnly bowed his hand, then gave up his seat and sat down for Xiao Lingtian.
Seeing the arrival of this holy monarch, the little beauty didn't dare to be as casual as before, and carefully knelt beside Xiao Feixing, obviously asking him to be the shield at the critical moment.
Glancing at the timid and delicate little body, Xiao Lingtian didn't blame her for talking nonsense, and said in a deep voice: "The Northwest Army is trapped, and the entire Xingchen is watching the results. If there is no rescue, the army that loses its command and fights separately will inevitably end in annihilation. The only difference is how much the Northwest Coalition will lose and how much time it will take. At that time, in the entire empire, the only formed field army that could still be used was the three ship groups in Qinglong'er's hands and the dragon scale ship group in the northeast to defend against star thieves. In desperation, I could only issue an order to ask Qinglong'er to quickly lead the fleet north, in order to rescue the army before the Northwest Alliance completely annihilated the three ship groups of the Empire. It was at this time that the fleet of the White Wa people went north again, leaving only two options for Qinglong'er. First, he was ordered to go north to rescue the living forces of the empire. Second, resist the decree to defend against the white widows, protect themselves for several years, and already have infinite feelings for the people of southern Xinjiang!"
Speaking of this, Xiao Lingtian said with a gloomy face: "It's all my fault, if it weren't for the fact that I was confused by the painting cake and refused to listen to the advice of the good minister, how could I face such a difficult situation." And what shouldn't be even more is that when he couldn't make up his mind, he gave Qinglong'er a holy decree - where to go, and to decide by Qingqing, such a holy decree. To this day, I still remember that after the battle of Southern Xinjiang, Qinglong'er returned to Shengjing, and in front of the victory gate, in front of the eyes of the ten thousand troops, he gave me a punch!"
"Ah?!" Yu Xiaoxiang couldn't help but exclaim, and subconsciously hurriedly covered her mouth, not daring to make another sound.
Glancing at the little beauty, Xiao Lingtian shook his head and continued: "I am a child, I seem to be reckless and arrogant on weekdays, but when the big thing is in front of me, that calmness and composure are definitely not very good for people. Two hours after receiving my holy decree, the ships of the southern Xinjiang had already moved north in seven ways, as if they were ready to go out at any time. And there is only one order left for the garrison fleets in southern Xinjiang, try to transfer the civilians in the star field as much as possible, and hold on for two months, which is the time for the army to return!
Qinglong'er's strategic goal is very clear, that is, to rescue the besieged army in the northwest first, so that there are enough troops to defend against the possible invasion of the northwest coalition army, and then return to the south to resist the Bai Wa people.
Everything was as Qinglong'er calculated, and even left a suspicious plan, so that the northern commander of the Bai Wei people once thought that he was setting a trap and did not dare to attack easily. However......"
Speaking of this, Xiao Lingtian's fist slammed on the desk in front of him, making a dull blow, and said with anger on his face: "However, Chen Wenxiu, the dog thief, was afraid that he would be condemned by me after returning to Beijing, so he surrendered to the White Widow on the third day after Qinglong'er left, and disclosed all the arrangements of Qinglong'er and the location of each garrison fleet to the White Widows, and guided his vanguard troops to attack the Imperial Holy Land!"
In just seven days, the army under Qinglong'er defeated the Northwest Coalition Army. Immediately after joining forces with the inside and outside and getting out of the encirclement, the army returned to the south, leaving a group of one and a half ships to guard the northwest, and the army of the commander did not stop, and even the supplies passed along the way, the detachments of the detachments broke away from the replenishment, and then accelerated to catch up with the main force, and relayed back to southern Xinjiang. Before and after, the time has not exceeded eighteen days!
But in the past eighteen days, relying on the retrograde of Chen Wenxiu's dog thief, the White Wa people captured nine star fields, and before the Qinglong'er army returned, they slaughtered more than seven billion frontier people in ten days, plundered countless wealth, and turned into as many as thirty-six habitable stars!
After the start of the Second Battle of Southern Xinjiang, although the final result was that the seventeen star fields originally occupied by the White Wa people and the nine newly captured star fields returned to the embrace of the empire, the losses caused by the previous war were difficult to calculate numerically. Southern Xinjiang was full of weeping, and every family built a mourning hall, and it was rare for the people of southern Xinjiang who had lived a peaceful life for a few years to fall into hell again in an instant. All of this is because of a few holy decrees issued by I, a king who is not out of Shengjing!"
"Father......" Xiao Muxing stretched out his hand and grabbed his father with a sad expression, wanting to say something but not knowing how to say it.
Without even looking at his son, Xiao Lingtian said quietly: "The great victory in Southern Xinjiang, the recapture of the Imperial Holy Land, these are the official news released by the imperial court after the Second Battle of Southern Xinjiang. And when Qinglong'er was ordered to return to Beijing to be enthroned, the first thing he did when he rushed off the flagship was to rush directly in front of me and beat me with a wave of his fist. But then, he hugged me and cried loudly, hoarse, heartbreaking, and shouting Xiao Ying, Da Niu, Hu Zi, these names that I had never heard before! The pain in his heart, the bitterness in his heart, the feelings that I, a king who can only enjoy, will never understand, are all caused by me! Everyone else said that the country has good ministers, and the country is very lucky, but I knew from that time that no matter how many good ministers there are, as long as there is a mediocre king, what is rich and strong people, what is to expand the territory, what is to protect the people, it is just a mirror, and it is just a mirror, and it is just a smile!"
