About a month later, the Ghost Rong tribe sent 50 grassland cavalry and 800 li to expedite it, and handed over the tribal information to Abule, the king of Zuoxian, overnight. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Early the next morning, Abule led two attendants to hurry to the imperial study, held last night's battle report above his head, knelt on one knee, and his dark face was anxious, "Your Majesty, last night our department sent an urgent battle report, the Uroran Department has formed an alliance with the Huyan Department, and the two armies are about to arrive in our tribe, begging Your Majesty to send troops to support!" ”

The emperor yawned, beckoned to the great eunuch to take the battle report in Abuliel's hand, and looked at it with a pair of fine eyes that had not woken up, so he ordered, "Go, call me both the military department and the commander Shu." ”

"Wow." The great eunuch trotted out of the temple gate.

"Come, sit down." The emperor tried to stay awake and saw Abule sitting on the Nanmu chair of His Royal Highness, "Brother Xian, don't worry, I must help with this favor of the Ghost Rong Department, but Brother Xian wants to go back with my Great Jin army?" ”

Abule's rough face was sincere, "Yes, Your Majesty. ”

"Brother Xian should be like this," the emperor shook his head slightly, and said casually: "But this time it is dangerous, Princess Jiayue's daughter's body, why don't you stay in Dajin?" I look at a group of children with a very good relationship. ”

When King Zuo Xian heard this, he immediately hesitated, this emperor was clearly trying to contain them and wanted to keep Jiayue as a hostage.

At this moment, the shrill voice of the great eunuch came from outside the hall: "The military department is still in the book, and the commander of the forbidden army has arrived-"

The emperor looked at the two of them with a smile and waved to the palace maid on the side, "Come, sit down." He handed the battle report in his hand to the two of them, squinting at the point of not knowing what he was thinking.

After reading carefully, Liu Jiming, the secretary of the military department, glanced at Abule, who was sitting opposite, and said in a deep voice, "Back to Your Majesty, now the Great Jin army has a total of 630,000 people, of which about half of them are not in Kyoto, since the situation is urgent, we can only take part of the forbidden army to go to Guirong." ”

Shu Zhi took over and said calmly: "The forbidden army is now scattered all over Kyoto, and there are indeed spare troops to adjust, but at most, 50,000. ”

Abule's face instantly looked a little ugly, 50,000 troops, it was too little.

The emperor adjusted his sitting posture and said generously: "Xiao Shu, you are more stingy than me!" Since the Ghost Rong Department is my Great Jin ally, how can I sit idly by and ignore it if I am bullied? Listen to me, you are the commander-in-chief, dispatch 100,000 Beijing soldiers, and rush to the Ghost Rong Department three days later with King Zuoxian! ”

Shu Zhi had to kowtow respectfully to thank him.

Abule stood up excitedly, bowed down and made a grassland salute, and said in a loud voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness!" ”

The emperor squinted his eyes and smiled: "Brother Xian is too polite, Jiayue wants to choose a son-in-law in my Great Jin and count it as my Dajin children, the little girl I really can't bear to watch her accompany you to work hard, so stay in Kyoto first." ”

At this point, Abulie really had nothing to say, so he had to give thanks, "Thank you for your care." ”

The news that the commander of Shu was going to lead the army to the grassland spread all over the government and the opposition for a while, and one-third of the troops in Kyoto were gone, which caused a lot of discussion among the ministers, and even the teahouses on the street were full of scholars who expressed their opinions on this matter.

Yun Yi was invited to Shoukun Palace by Gonggong De, who was guarding under Xiyan Mountain, and received all the way to the side hall where tea was eaten.

When Empress Dowager Zhang saw someone coming, she hurriedly beckoned him to the mahogany chair beside her and sat down, and said kindly: "Good boy, this is really the first time to take a good look at you." After speaking, he took a good look at him, and smiled at Liu Jiming, who was already sitting on the other side: "Look at this appearance, it is really as bright as a jade tree in front of the wind." ”

Liu Jiming is a henchman of the princelings, and Yun Yi's plans on weekdays have long been clear to him, and he has long admired them, so he can't help but say happily at this time: "Young Master Yun is already resourceful at a young age, and he has been friends with officials and gods for a long time. Now when I see it, it is really extraordinary, and it is really a dragon and phoenix among people! ”

Yun Yi didn't want to listen to them playing official here, so he smiled lightly: "The adults are in love, Yun Yi is just a grass people, and he does his best." Speaking of which, I wonder if Lord Liu can make a grassland bow and arrow when he gets the drawings? ”

"That bow and arrow is wonderful!" At the mention of this, Liu Jiming couldn't help but get excited, "The range is obviously more than three times farther than my Dajin bow and arrow, and the lower official has asked His Majesty to allocate funds from the household department to make such bows and arrows in large quantities." In the future, I will face the archers of the grassland, and I think my Dajin boy will not fall behind again! ”

Empress Dowager Zhang listened for a long time before she spoke up: "This bow and crossbow should not be used on the battlefield for the time being, it still has to be trained first." ”

She rubbed the corners of her eyes, which already had fine lines, and saw Liu Shangshu nodding, so she continued: "I called you all over today, and I still want to discuss the matter of Commander Shu's expedition together." The idea of the mourning family is to first collect the rest of the grassland by the Ghost Rong Department, and finally destroy the Ghost Rong. ”

Liu Shangshu muttered: "Now there is only this plan to be used, the northern grassland has always been difficult to recover, and this time can be regarded as an opportunity to break into the grassland tribe." However, the grasp of the whole situation is left to Commander Shu, in case something goes wrong......"

Empress Dowager Zhang said confidently: "The grassland people have always been loyal and brave, and their resourcefulness is insufficient, as long as Shu Zhi grasps the opportunity, it will not be difficult to annihilate the ghost Rong in one fell swoop and recover the north." ”

Yun Yi's heart moved slightly, took the sweet white porcelain tea cup handed by Father-in-law De, and said quietly: "The Queen Mother no longer plans to marry Princess Jiayue to His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

"Why?" Empress Dowager Zhang raised her eyebrows, smiling rather than smiling.

Yun Yi groaned, "If Princess Jiayue becomes the crown princess but has no mother's family, I'm afraid it won't be good." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang shook her head with a smile, stretched out her plain hand with a gold finger sleeve and patted the young man's shoulder, "Good boy, you are still too kind-hearted." Jiayue must marry Shu'er, but the ghost Rong and my Dajin must also be destroyed, you have a merciful heart for the enemy, if he is attacked by the ghost Rong in the future, you can't cry. ”

Yun Yi moved his lips, smiled faintly, and didn't say anything more. In any case, he can't watch Jiayue lose his father, so he will send spies to rescue him then.

Liu Shangshu looked at the atmosphere and became embarrassed, and hurriedly smiled and started the round, "Speaking of this expedition, I don't know what the little young master thinks?" ”

Yun Yi thought for a moment, "Earlier, I thought that there would be a battle between the Great Jin and the north, but I didn't expect that at this moment, the Ghost Rong Department would not go to the neighboring Chen State for help but come to the Great Jin to ask for reinforcements, so I thought that there was actually a very easy way to defeat the Ghost Rong." The young man's phoenix eyes flowed faintly, "There are actually a lot of Central Plains people who have been captured and enslaved among the northern tribes, and the sum of these decades is not a small number, it is said that in recent years, they have often gathered to resist, if Commander Shu can gather all these people and horses, it is also very promising to unify the north in the end." ”

The hall was silent for a long time, and Liu Shangshu clapped his hands and praised: "Wonderful! Wonderful! If it's really a hero out of a teenager, I'm really a talent, hahaha! ”

Empress Dowager Zhang also laughed sincerely, and said to the Duke of De: "Have you heard what Young Master Yun said, tell the mourning family to Commander Shu word for word!" ”

"Yes, sis!" Father-in-law De hurriedly withdrew with a smile.
