143 nervous preparations

Lin Haotian didn't know that the queen was pretending to be someone else, and the real Han Jiangxue had already left the Liao Palace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info After all, the new queen of Liao is such a big secret that someone else fakes, except for Empress Dowager Xiao, Han Jiangxue herself, the little emperor, Xianglan, the fake queen, and several cronies of Han Jiangxue know, everyone else doesn't know, even Princess Xiao Lin, the biological daughter of Empress Dowager Xiao, doesn't know.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and since the queen is a fake, so many people know that after a long time, she will definitely come out. However, for such a major and strange secret of the royal family, most people just doubt it and dare not discuss it, after all, if you discuss these royal secrets, you will be beheaded if you are not careful, and you don't even know how to die.

After Lin Haotian saw Nighthawk, the two sides exchanged a few polite greetings, and then Nighthawk accompanied Princess Xiao Lin, Lin Haotian and other important people to come in to see Vice Marshal Meishuang. Although Lin Haotian is Lin Guifei's father, he is only a general, so in the military position, Vice Marshal Meishuang is one level higher than Lin Haotian.

For Mei Shuang's second handsome, Lin Haotian wanted to slap her, because for now, Mei Shuang was the strongest person among the four cronies of Empress Dowager Xiao. It is also the most important confidant of Empress Dowager Xiao, and Vice Marshal Mei Shuang still holds the army, which is a symbol of real strength.

In the ranking of the most important commanders of the Liao army, Vice Marshal Mei Shuang is also ranked second only to Han Jiangxue, Lin Haotian's own father, Marshal Lin Jun of the Northern Courtyard, and a few people such as Liang Wangye. According to Lin Haotian's idea, if he can win the help of Vice Marshal Meishuang, coupled with the support of Empress Dowager Xiao, it is possible for his daughter to replace Han Jiangxue as the queen.

Because Lin Haotian is slightly older than himself, and Lin Haotian is Lin Guifei's father, Vice Marshal Meishuang is also very polite to Lin Haotian, and personally set up a banquet to invite Princess Xiao Lin, Lin Haotian, and Lin Haotian's brother, son and several other important generals of the Lin family; Admiral Nighthawk led important generals in Yanzhou to accompany him.

On this expedition, the 50,000 troops led by Lin Haotian are actually the main force of the Lin family's army, and the Lin family is willing to work for the mother and son of the Empress Dowager Xiao, and of course they also need to exchange interests.

His daughter's status as a noble concubine is not worthy of the Lin family sending an army of 50,000 to sacrifice her life, so if this expedition to Chu is successful, Lin Haotian may have the ambition to support his daughter to win the queen's throne.

Lin Haotian thought to himself that he would lead the Lin family army to be the vanguard of the little emperor, if he could conquer Chudu this time, the little emperor would definitely be happy, and then his relationship with the little emperor would be able to go to a higher level, and maybe he could also be promoted to the second marshal because of his military merits.

Although Prime Minister Mo Ye's family also sent his younger brother General Mo Jian to lead 30,000 Mo family troops to participate this time, but General Mo Jian's 30,000 Mo family army only followed the emperor's Chinese army, but it was not the emperor's core army, so the importance of these 30,000 Mo family troops could not be compared with his own 50,000 vanguard troops.

Princess Xiao Lin was of course very happy to see Meishuang again, she sat next to Meishuang, talking and laughing with Meishuang. The other generals all toasted each other politely, because Lin Haotian belonged to the generals who went on the expedition and had to set off early the next morning, so the drinking could only be done in moderation.

After Lin Haotian drank and feasted to thank Vice Marshal Mei Shuang for his hospitality, he led his Lin family back to the station to rest.

Early the next morning, Lin Haotian led 50,000 Lin family troops to set off, and according to the battle plan scheduled by the little emperor, Lin Haotian led the Lin family army not to Fengting City, but directly to the border of Chu State.

Because the Liao army wanted to attack the Chu capital, it had to clear the passes defended by the Chu army around the capital, so Lin Haotian led the vanguard troops to act in advance. Of course, if you want to really launch an attack on the Chu State, you have to wait until the little emperor arrives at Fengting City, reviews the army, and issues the order to march. The specific time is to wait for the order of the little emperor, but the preparations before the attack must be completed.

Lin Haotian led the army to set off, and Princess Xiao Lin stayed in Yanzhou City for a few more days, waiting for the arrival of the emperor's younger brother, who made her like Meishuang. Nighthawk is an outstanding female general, and now that the war is coming, she also has to prepare for the pre-war work.

Nighthawk is a close confidant of Han Jiangxue, according to normal circumstances, she only listens to Han Jiangxue's meaning, of course, Han Jiangxue has no clear objection. Nighthawk will also listen to the orders of Empress Dowager Xiao, Little Emperor, and Meishuang, but once Han Jiangxue's intentions contradict the orders of the Little Emperor, Nighthawk may refuse the orders of the Little Emperor. Of course, once this situation occurs, it will be the beginning of the struggle between Han Jiangxue and Empress Dowager Xiao.

Originally, Nighthawk also sent the falcon Mu Rong to ask Han Jiangxue for advice, wanting to hear what Han Jiangxue meant, but Han Jiangxue didn't give them a clear meaning, as long as they acted on their own cameras. This means that Han Jiangxue did not object to the little emperor's attack on Chu, nor did she prevent the Nighthawk from listening to the little emperor's orders, so the nighthawk and Mu Rong decided to strike first and prepare for the attack on Chu in advance.

This is also what Vice Marshal Meishuang meant, so after Lin Haotian led the Lin family army to leave Yanzhou, on the third day of the nighthawk, Mu Rong also set off with an arrow of 30,000 flying eagles.

Nighthawk and Mu Rong were preparing to infiltrate the Chu State early, and once the little emperor's attack on Chu began, they would lead the army to sneak attack the rear of the Chu army or the logistics supply of the Chu army.

Because Nighthawk and Mu Rong were both under the orders of Vice Marshal Meishuang, they only consulted with Vice Marshal Meishuang, and they didn't bother to care about the little emperor's orders. Anyway, something happened and Mei Shuang went to the top, so in the opinion of Empress Dowager Xiao, Han Jiangxue cultivated 80,000 flying eagle troops, as long as Mei Shuang could command 30,000 of them.

Princess Xiao Lin lived in Yanzhou City for seven or eight days, but the army led by the little emperor still did not arrive, Xiao Lin was impatient, she wanted to go to Fengting City to see Xiang Shuifeng, so she said goodbye to Meishuang and took her own personal guards to Fengting City.

As the supreme commander of Yanzhou, Vice Marshal Mei Shuang is very concerned about the construction of Pingnantai, but the good news that Xiangshuifeng sent to her is that Pingnantai will be completed in more than ten days. Vice Marshal Mei Shuang sent spies to wait near Dingzhou City for a long time to listen to the news, and learned that the little emperor's army had not yet reached Dingzhou City. Vice Marshal Mei Shuang estimated that it would take about ten days for the little emperor's army to travel from Dingzhou to Yanzhou, and it would take three days for Yanzhou to reach Fengting City at the earliest.

Mei Shuang couldn't help but be grateful to Xiang Shuifeng for her ability, in fact, as soon as she saw Xiang Shuifeng, she fell in love with this captured general of the Chu State, but she didn't want others to know.

In fact, Xiangshuifeng's current construction of Pingnantai is also cutting corners, otherwise it would not have been completed so quickly. The so-called cutting corners is actually to reduce many buildings in Pingnantai and make Pingnantai simpler, and even some buildings were destroyed because of the slave riots, so Xiang Shuifeng demolished these buildings and finished the work, so the construction speed was of course much faster.

Xiang Shuifeng thought to himself that anyway, the real purpose of the little emperor was to conquer the Chu State, and Pingnantai was just a parade platform for the Liao army, so it didn't matter if it was built simply.

Besides, the drawings of the building Pingnantai were also approved by Vice Marshal Meishuang, and the little emperor did not know the real appearance of Pingnantai, even if the little emperor was disappointed with the Pingnantai building after he arrived; But the real purpose of the little emperor is to conquer the Chu State, so it is impossible for the little emperor to scold Meishuang because Pingnantai is simple.

Of course, it can be built simply, but it must be completed before the arrival of the little emperor, and now that the time is so tight, Xiang Shuifeng can only choose to do this. (To be continued.) )
