Chapter 282: Starry Night
The afterglow of the setting sun was scattered on the earth, and two hundred miles away from the western border of the Great Zhou Empire, a cavalry of 30,000 people was slowly marching in the direction of the Wild Lion City.
This army was neatly organized, all of them were well-equipped light cavalry, and at the forefront of the army was the newly appointed Marshal of the Great Zhou Empire, Bai Qi.
Although the ministers had a lot of opinions about Bai Qi as the marshal, no one dared to disobey Xiao Chen's personal orders in the early dynasty.
"Marshal, do we really want to support Broken Blade City first?The last general feels that the crisis in the south seems to be more serious!" Yan Qing asked on the side.
The generals newly transferred to the Tenglong Legion this time were Yan Qing and Meng Hui, and Bai Qi, as the marshal of the Great Zhou Army in this battle, chose to go to Broken Blade City with the two to support first.
Hearing Yan Qing's words, Bai Qi smiled and said, "Actually, the crisis in the south is not very serious for the time being, what do you say, General Meng Hui?"
Meng Hui pondered for a moment and said, "Although the Tianpeng Kingdom is strong, in the early stage of the war, it will not easily send troops into the territory of my Great Zhou. ”
Yan Qing was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?"
Compared with historical celebrities like Meng Hui and Bai Qi, Yan Qing, the prodigal son who was born in Shuibo Liangshan, is far inferior to the two in terms of strategic vision.
Bai Qi explained: "Because the south is still entrenched in the 100,000 rebels of my Great Zhou, in the early stage of the war, the Tianpeng Kingdom will use these rebels to consume the military strength of my Great Zhou army, in order to minimize its own losses in the next war!"
Yan Qing nodded thoughtfully and said, "In this way, it seems that the Tianpeng Kingdom does have the possibility of reaping the benefits!"
Meng Hui smiled inexplicably and said, "It is not known who the fisherman is profiting from! Perhaps, this is also the situation that my Great Zhou Army wants to see." ”
The Tianpeng Kingdom wants to rely on the Great Zhou rebels to consume the Huolin Legion, and the Huolin Legion also wants to delay as much time as possible to gain time for the arrival of reinforcements.
Bai Qi knew in his heart that the combat strength of the 100,000 rebels in the south was simply scum, they were originally the people of the Great Zhou, but now they followed their own generals to rebel, and their morale had fallen to the extreme.
Such an army is fundamentally vulnerable in front of the trapped camp of Li Cunxiao and Gao Shun.
However, the Fire Lin Legion will not destroy the opponent immediately, but will slowly entangle with it for a period of time to buy enough time for the battlefield on the Western Front.
The Tianpeng Kingdom invested 300,000 troops in this war, and even a peerless general like Li Cunxiao would be difficult to defeat the other party in the face of such a disparity in troops.
"Let's hope everything works out our way!"
Meng Heng said helplessly, all their plans are based on assumptions, and if the actual situation does not go according to their assumptions, the situation will not be good.
Bai Qi said very confidently: "Don't worry, even if something really happens, with Guo Jia here, they won't have any problems." ”
Guo Jia?
For this young man with extremely poor strength, Yan Qing and Meng Hui don't know much about it.
But His Majesty can make him the military advisor of the Huolin Legion when he has not yet built an inch, which is quite a favor.
Now even Bai Qi admires him so much, it seems that this young man does have some ability.
"Speaking of military divisions, why didn't the military divisions of our Vine Dragon Legion come together?" Meng Heng said with a smile.
Yan Qing replied: "Mr. Jia Xu is one of the six Shangshu, so naturally he has to hand over the affairs at hand first, and it is estimated that it will take a few days." ”
......
Thousands of miles away in the imperial city, Xiao Chen was browsing the military emergency report from the front line in the imperial study.
After a long time, he put down the fold in his hand with a locked gaze, and said to Shi Xueyue beside him: "Xueyue, let the shadow guard find Bai Feng." ”
After Shi Xueyue arrived, Xiao Chen asked Shi Xueyue to accompany her, after all, it is more pleasing to the eye than eunuchs to be surrounded by beautiful women.
However, the original eunuch Yan Zi'an can be regarded as a chicken dog ascending to heaven, and after serving Xiao Chen for a period of time, he is now promoted by Xiao Chen to the chief eunuch in the palace.
Shi Xueyue informed the shadow guard outside the door, and then returned to the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, don't be too tired!"
Looking at Xiao Chen, who had not stopped reviewing the folds since the morning, Shi Xueyue couldn't help but remind.
Xiao Chen smiled, put down the fold in his hand, and then leaned on the dragon chair and sighed: "I used to think that being an emperor must be a wonderful thing, but now it seems that it is not as beautiful as I imagined, maybe I can't be a good emperor!"
When Shi Xueyue heard this, she hurriedly said: "Xueyue believes that Your Majesty will definitely be a good emperor!"
Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Shi Xueyue, who was radiant beside him.
Feeling Xiao Chen's gaze, Shi Xueyue was so frightened that she lowered her head directly.
Xiao Chen laughed dumbly, and then laughed with some evil taste: "Don't be nervous, I look at you, and I won't eat you!"
As soon as these words came out, Shi Xueyue's face turned even redder, and she lowered her head and didn't speak.
In fact, in Xiao Chen's heart, he has always treated Shi Xueyue as his sister, he has no brothers and sisters since he was a child, and Shi Xueyue has always been by his side to take care of him, so it is natural to have a family affection for Shi Xueyue in his bones.
This kind of thing that is integrated into the bloodline, after Xiao Chen inherited this body, also imperceptibly affected him.
"Your Majesty, are you looking for me?" Bai Feng's voice came from outside the door, breaking the embarrassment in the room.
Shi Xueyue took advantage of this opportunity and left the imperial study in a panic.
Xiao Chen shook his head helplessly, and then with a straight expression, he said to the door: "Come in!"
Hearing this, Bai Feng walked in from outside the door.
As soon as he came in, Xiao Chen handed him the front-line fold and said, "Come and see this letter!"
Bai Feng didn't shy away from it, and took the fold and skimmed it roughly.
"General Zhang Liao said that there are many military commanders in the army of the Xianglong Kingdom?"
After a moment, Bai Feng closed the fold.
Xiao Chen nodded: "I don't care about these masters, now Marshal Bai Qi has already taken Yan Qing and Meng Heng to support, and a few martial arts marshals are not enough for Marshal Bai Qi to fight alone." ”
"What I'm worried about is that Marshal Bai Qi has the strength of a two-star martial artist, once he makes a move on the battlefield, the masters of the Human Palace in the army of the Xianglong Kingdom will probably use this as an excuse to get rid of him!"
Bai Feng nodded, Bai Qi's safety was a huge hidden danger.
"What does Your Majesty mean ......?" Bai Feng asked,
Xiao Chen came to him late at night, and he definitely wouldn't just tell him about it.
Xiao Chen said: "I don't worry about Bai Qi, so I want to go to the Crazy Lion City to have a look, at your speed, can you take me there overnight?"
This is the purpose of his search for Bai Feng, the Crazy Lion City is thousands of miles away from the Imperial City, and if he wants to arrive in a few hours, it is difficult for even a strong martial artist to do it, so he can only ask Bai Feng, who is good at speed, for help.
Bai Feng smiled indifferently and said: "If your majesty is brought by your subordinates, it is indeed a little difficult to arrive before dawn, but with Bai Feng here, it can take us there." ”
Xiao Chen was overjoyed in his heart, and then said to Bai Feng: "Great, I will send someone to inform Da Si Ming and Zhang Han, and we will go to Crazy Lion City together." ”
Make up for the one you owe on Thursday!
