The people in the small study passed on the excerpts one by one, not to mention how the people who were related to the Shen family and the Zhao family lamented Shen Hetai's untimely death, according to the current situation, the border city has been very difficult to defend the city this time, and even the current coach has opened his mouth to ask for support, and their previous expectations are more optimistic.

Ning Guogong stood up, bowed to Emperor Wu and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that it has reached the point where there is no time to delay. In the event of this support, the minister asked to lead the battle. ”

Many people's hearts were shaken, has the situation reached such a point, even Ning Guogong opened his mouth and bluntly said that he wanted to lead the troops to fight. Everyone looked at Emperor Wu.

After all, Shen Tong was a general who had guarded the frontier for several years, and when he returned to Beijing, he served as the secretary of the military department of the second grade, although he suddenly learned of his son's death, he quickly packed up his emotions and returned to the overall situation.

He was extremely eager to personally lead people to the frontier to avenge his son, but he also knew that he would not do better than Ning Guogong, he just hoped that Ning Guogong could kill all the dogs.

He did return to his seat and looked at the Martial Emperor above.

Emperor Wu's face was expressionless, but he was ruthless in his heart, his eyes stared at Ning Guogong, and he said coldly: "Ning Guogong, I will give you 100,000 cavalry, and you may wipe out Hu Gou?" ”

100,000 cavalry!

Others were a little surprised, you must know that Yu Zixing led 100,000 tiger troops to support the frontier, and there were only 20,000 cavalry in this 100,000 tiger army, and now Emperor Wu is 100,000 cavalry, which shows that he is extremely angry.

Ning Guogong replied calmly: "I will live up to Your Majesty's expectations." ”

In fact, he is not exaggerating, but understands the deeper meaning of Emperor Wu, that is, the remaining 20,000 cavalry and 140,000 infantry in the border city, plus the 100,000 cavalry rescued this time, a total of 260,000 troops, all killed on the battlefield, must also annihilate the Hu people.

He understood that Emperor Wu was ready to sacrifice the lives of these more than 200,000 people, and if he couldn't completely annihilate the Hu people, then he, as the commander, might also end up with the horse leather shroud.

The emperor is always ruthless, and there are many people who understand this, and the anger of Dingguo Gongji who knows the sacrifice of his grandson-in-law adds another layer of anxiety to Ning Guogong.

Emperor Wu still exuded a cold air around his body, and he did not loosen up Ning Guogong's words at all, and said in a deep voice: "Very good, I am waiting for Ning Guogong's good news in the capital." Ning Guogong, give you three days, you go and order troops, and you will set off in three days. ”

"Yes, Lord's Order." Ning Guogong respectfully should be.

"You all go down, and cooperate with the military department these days."

"Yes, the ministers obeyed. The ministers retired. ”

A crowd of people came out one after another.

Li Huaiyan was the last to walk out of the small study, he raised his head to look at the clear sky, and was worried about Zhao Xi's reaction to hearing the bad news. It's a pity that this time is different from the past, as the crown prince, he can no longer leave the palace at will, especially at this tense moment.

I only hope that Xiaoxi can hold on.

Li Huaiyan sincerely hoped.

Today happened to be the rest day of the barracks, and Zhao Xi, as usual, returned home to accompany his family to eat.

During this time, because of the war, the atmosphere in the military camps was very serious, and she had not received a letter from Shen Hetai to her for a while, and she wanted to ask her father if there was any latest news on the frontier.

As a result, she saw her father's face that wanted to speak and stopped, and her grandfather's look of deep regret. She felt a sigh in her heart, and then remembered the panic of the previous day, and always felt that nothing good happened.

Father Zhao sighed: "Xi'er, I received an urgent military report of eight hundred miles from the frontier this morning, and Atai was seriously injured and died. ”

"Daddy, no jokes." Zhao Xi said with some difficulty, she looked at Zhao's father expectantly, hoping that he was wrong.

The eldest princess obviously just knew, she glanced at her husband who was sitting beside her, got her husband's affirmative look, and then looked at her granddaughter, and her heart sank.

Mother Zhao let out a low sigh of disbelief.

Zhao Xu and Zhao Yan also felt the truth of Zhao's father's words, and looked at their sister with pity. She is still so young, she has just been married, but in a few months, her fiancé has passed away, how can she accept it.

"Xiaoxi, you know that Daddy has never lied to you." Zhao's father looked at his daughter.

Zhao Xi lowered his head and was silent for a while.

There was an oppressive and heavy atmosphere in the hall.

When Zhao Yan was about to lose his mouth, Zhao Xi spoke up.

"Xi'er wants to go to the battlefield and avenge Atai."

"Nonsense!"

Mother Zhao reacted quickly, and immediately scolded without giving others a chance to speak. She can't let her daughter, who was conceived in October, go to the battlefield, her future son-in-law has already died there, and she doesn't want her daughter to lose it.

"You are ignoring your parents, how can you be so ruthless?" Mother Zhao looked at Zhao Xi who was kneeling in the hall with an ugly face and said.

Zhao Xi got up from the circle chair, knelt on his knees, and said in a deep voice: "The child is not filial, please forgive the elders in the family." ”

Zhao's father and Zhao's mother looked at their kneeling daughter, and they felt uncomfortable. Zhao Xu and Zhao Yan clenched their fists, hating to shake their sister awake.

"Of course you are not filial! If you are filial, you will not have such thoughts. Mother Zhao's face was gloomy, "I was in a bad mood when I heard the bad news at first glance, now go back and rest, don't have such thoughts again." ”

Zhao Xi knelt and was silent.

There was silence in the hall for a moment.

Dingguo Gong looked at Zhao Xi expressionlessly and said, "Do you have to go?" ”

"If you don't take revenge, you can't sleep at night." Zhao Xi said firmly.

"I can promise you that as long as the Holy Lord agrees, you can go, but you must promise not to hurt your own life, otherwise you will ......" Dingguo Gong said slowly.

"Father!" Hearing this, Zhao's mother looked at her father-in-law in shock for a while.

"Do you think you can stop your daughter? She's just trying to get our consent first, and if we don't agree, she won't do anything else? Ding Guogong looked at his granddaughter, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.

Everyone looked at Zhao Xi who was kneeling on the ground, and when they heard that Dingguo Gong had agreed to her request and still hadn't changed her mood, they knew that what she said was true.

Father Zhao sighed, got up and stood beside his daughter, and pulled her up with both hands, "Child, get up, Dad also promised you." ”

Seeing that even her husband had agreed to her daughter's request, Zhao's mother knew that she could no longer stop it, thinking of the danger on the battlefield, and thinking that her future son-in-law would die on the battlefield, her eyes were red for a while, and her hands trembled.

Zhao Xi stood up according to his father's strength, looking at his grandfather without saying a word, his grandmother was expressionless, his father was in pain, his mother was in tears, and the eldest brother and second brother were anxious and helpless, feeling unspeakably uncomfortable, but he did not regret it.

As she said, if she doesn't take revenge, she can't sleep at night!

She couldn't kill the enemy's head with her own hands, and she didn't dare to worship Shen Hetai!

The eldest princess reached out and took out a token in her arms, asked Zhao Xi to step forward, and handed it to her, "Since your grandfather has also promised you, I won't say anything else, this token is given to you, and you can't forget what you promised." ”

Zhao Xi looked at the token in his hand with the word "phoenix" on the front and a phoenix flying on the back, and knew that this was the commander of the Feng Guard, with this token, she could go to the court, and she could also use this token to achieve some things she wanted to do.

She took the token back into her arms and solemnly promised, "I will take good care of myself and will not let you worry." ”
