The reason why she said this to the Ziyang Daoist was completely the request of the demon queen in her body, although the demon queen absorbed the essence of women every day, it was far from enough, and the essence of men was also needed, and the higher the man's cultivation, the more helpful it would be for her to restore her cultivation.

As for the fact that the Ziyang Daoist did not kill Lin Tian in the ring today, the Empress of the East was also a little disappointed, but she was not annoyed and angry, the future is long, and there is a chance for his little life.

After the end of the early dynasty, as soon as the emperor returned to the imperial study, as soon as his butt fell on the chair, Nangong Ao walked in with Duan Bu, the secretary of the military department.

Seeing the saint, Duan Bu immediately knelt on the ground, and before he had time to kowtow, he said: "Your Majesty, I just received an urgent report from the border pass for 800 miles, the new marshal of Xiangxiang Kingdom led an army of 200,000 to attack the border of our country, and in just two days, he has lost three cities in a row......"

"What?" The emperor jumped up from his chair in surprise and scolded angrily: "Little Xiangxiang Country, a group of stinky women, dare to attack my big country? ”

"Your Majesty, don't get excited, the dragon body matters." Nangong Ao on the side comforted.

The emperor looked at Duan Bu, the secretary of the military department, and asked, "You said that the new marshal of Xiangxiang Kingdom led the attack?" ”

"Exactly." Duan Bu nodded and said, "According to the generals who fought with the enemy on the front line, the new marshal of Xiangxiang Country is the fourth daughter of the strongest and wealthy Wen family in Xiangxiang Country, named Wen Xiu, the fourth sister of Taishi Wen Zhiruo, and she is only thirteen years old this year. ”

"Haha......" The emperor suddenly laughed loudly, "A thirteen-year-old girl can actually break through three cities in a row?" Duan Bu, do you think the Guan Zhan report here is a bit too? ”

Duan Bu's face changed. Hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this matter concerns thousands of dawn people in the Southern Yan Kingdom. How can Wechen be fake? And it is said that this time the supervisor of Xiangxiang Country is Taishi Wen Zhiruo. This marshal Wenxiu is just a puppet. ”

"It turns out that Wen Zhiruo is also there?" Only then did the emperor believe it, no matter how powerful a thirteen-year-old girl is, a girl is a girl, and she definitely doesn't know how to arrange troops, but if Wen Zhiruo, the mainstay of Xiangxiang Country, is there, then the combat effectiveness of the military is not ordinary.

"Yes." Duan Bu nodded and asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know how we should deal with it?" ”

The emperor's eyes lit up, and he snorted coldly: "What else can I do." Everyone else has called, do I still want to be a turtle with a shrunken head? Naturally, it is necessary to send troops to fight over and recover the lost territory. ”

But he still had a doubt in his heart, how could Xiangxiang Kingdom have the courage to attack Nanyan Kingdom? In the past 10,000 years, only their Nanyan Kingdom has bullied Xiangxiang Country, or taken the initiative to attack their country, but this time it was the other way around, did they women take the wrong medicine.

Duan Bushen nodded appreciatively. Then he asked: "Your Majesty, since the decision to send troops has been decided, I don't know who to send as the marshal of the expedition?" ”

If you want to use good soldiers, you must have a good general. Otherwise, no matter how many troops there are, it will not be effective.

The emperor was a little embarrassed now. looked at Nangong Ao on the side and said, "Taishi." Who do you think is appropriate? ”

Unexpectedly, Nangong Ao let out a long sigh. hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the country is in trouble, and the husband is responsible, and the old minister should have personally put on the battle, but the years are urging people to get old, and the old minister has no intention of going to the battlefield...... Moreover, there are a lot of young talents among the younger generations in the court, and some of them are even generals, so why not choose the right candidate among these juniors. ”

Actually, Nangong Ao's words are all shirks, where is he old? He is not old at all, but he doesn't want to go to the front line to fight, there are two reasons, one is because the Nangong family's sect was destroyed, he must personally preside over the reconstruction of the sect, and get back the lost glory of the Nangong family as soon as possible, and the second is because Lin Tian is still in the palace, as long as this kid is still there, he will also stay in the Burning City, monitor him all the time, and never let Lin Tian have any undivided actions.

The emperor also saw that Nangong Ao was deliberately prevaricating, but he didn't force it, but nodded and said: "What the Taishi said is very true, and it is time to let those young people below hone it well, but I don't know if the Taishi has any suitable candidates?" ”

Nangong Ao thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the Dudu general of the Du family has been on the battlefield for a long time, is brave and strategic, and is a general. ”

The emperor nodded and said, "Du Du is in public with the descendants of the Du family, and I think it is outstanding, but I heard that Du Du has become in a trance because of Princess Ruoxi's affairs, and he looks weak, I'm afraid he can't do it." ”

Speaking of this, the emperor's heart ached faintly, if Princess Ruoxi was not killed by Crimson Luo, Du Du would not have become like this, and the two would have formed a marriage, but it's a pity......

Nangong Ao didn't agree with the emperor's opinion, and said with a faint smile: "Your Majesty, General Dudu does have some children's affections, but as a son and grandson of a lonely vacation, his blood is completely flowing with the blood of a soldier, as long as he hears about the war, he will definitely cheer up." ”

"Oh? Is this true? The emperor said with some surprise.

"Of course." Nangong Ao said affirmatively: "Your Majesty can let your father-in-law go to the family with the holy decree, so that General Dudu will definitely cheer up." ”

"That's good, that's how it goes." The emperor nodded, thought for a moment and said, "It's not enough to have just one general, you still need other generals to go out with the army." ”

"Yes, this time the Xiangxiang country is menacing, we must send more generals to fight back against them, otherwise it will show the power of our great country so much." Nangong Ao said.

"But I don't know who to choose?" The Emperor asked.

Nangong Ao thought carefully for a while, and said: "Your Majesty can issue a holy decree, let the ministers below take the initiative to let their children and grandchildren go to war with the army, and promise high-ranking officials Houlu, there will be brave men under this heavy reward...... In addition, His Majesty can let one of the princes also go with the army, and let him represent His Majesty, which can play a role in deterring the enemy. ”

"The Taishi's plan is very good, and the rest is easy to do, but who among the princes should choose to fight for me?" The emperor was a little hesitant, he had a total of seven sons, each of whom had his own merits and abilities, and it was difficult to choose for a while.

Nangong Ao immediately smiled and said: "Your Majesty, going out for my father is usually the eldest son, so this prince is the best candidate." ”

"Prince?" The emperor raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Do you think this thing that only knows how to eat, drink and have fun is suitable for me to go on the expedition?" (To be continued......)
