Lifting its crystal clear jade teapot, the eldest grandson Miaoyu helped Emperor Xia gently pour a cup of tea, walked behind Emperor Xia gently, handed it over with both hands, and said softly: "Your Majesty, you have been looking at the mountains and rivers of Jiuxia for a whole day, don't work too hard, let's rest for a while and have a cup of tea." ”

"Alas....... Xia Sizhen sighed lightly, rubbed his temples, and said slowly: "I am in this Xia Capital Palace, how can I work hard, what is really hard is the soldiers who are in the bloody killing field at the moment, I really want to be the same as before, to be commensurate with the Wu Mu brothers, to fight side by side, and to fight together in the killing field." ”

"Your Majesty's status is noble, how can you go to the battlefield?" the eldest grandson Miaoyu handed it to Emperor Xia and smiled, "Now that Emperor Xia is sitting in the summer capital, he is not surprised, and stabilizing the hearts of the people of the Nine Xia Kingdom is the most important thing. ”

Emperor Xia took the tea and took a sip gently, but his eyes were still on the map of the northern land of Jiuxia, the eldest grandson Miaoyu looked at Xia Sizhen's eyes, and asked softly: "Emperor Xia, is the situation in the northern land ......?"

The eldest grandson Miaoyu didn't finish speaking, but Emperor Xia understood what she meant, and Emperor Xia said in a deep voice: "In addition to the city, there is no danger to defend in the Northland Twin Cities, before the war, Wu Mu had suggested that I let all the soldiers and civilians in the Northland evacuate and retreat to the pass and the North Mouth, but at that time, I was unwilling to give up the Beining and Xia Yi Twin Cities to the Northern Han Kingdom so easily, now it seems that Wu Mu has already expected the current situation, this time he is right, I was wrong." ”

"What's wrong with Your Majesty?" "Your Majesty is wrong?" eldest grandson Miaoyu frowned slightly, "The Northland Twin Cities are the cities of the Nine Xia Kingdom, and it is natural for the Xia Emperor not to let it, if you withdraw easily without fighting in a battle, and your morale will be greatly reduced, wouldn't it be even more tricky for the enemy, in my opinion, you and Wu Mu are right, it is they who are unreasonable, and they actually jointly launched a war against the Jiuxia Kingdom, and we use the strength of one country to fight against Hengwu and Beihan, it is too difficult." ”

The eldest grandson Miaoyu bit her lip lightly and said faintly: "My maiden family Tianwei is unwilling to sign an alliance with Jiuxia and send troops to help, Your Majesty, it's me and I'm sorry for you." ”

Xia Sizhen turned his head to look at the eldest grandson Miaoyu, and said with a slight smile: "It has nothing to do with you, this is a premeditated plan between the Hengwu Kingdom and the Northern Han Kingdom, I am indeed too careless, I always thought that the Tianwei Kingdom would not be unable to see the situation clearly, but I was wrong again, I just don't know what benefits they promised to the Tianwei Kingdom? Therefore, I should have sent someone to negotiate peace with Tianwei a long time ago, instead of waiting for Tianwei to take the initiative to come over, although it is a little late to say this, but I have already sent Liu Ge Lao to negotiate peace, but I don't know if Tianwei is still willing to form an alliance with us at this time. ”

After hesitating for a while, Eldest Sun Miaoyu finally said softly again: "If Jiuxia can block the troops of the Hengwu Kingdom and the Northern Han Kingdom, then I think the Heavenly Defense Kingdom will definitely sign an alliance with Jiuxia again." However, if the situation on the front line is not good, I am afraid that this peace talk will be ......."

"I know that. With frowning eyebrows, Emperor Xia looked at Yutu again, and sighed: "But now it is too difficult to change the situation of the Nine Summers War! With Wu Mu and Nishang in the western border, and Longmen as the backing, how can it still be supported, but I am not the slightest sure about this northern land." ”

When she heard this, Eldest Sun Miaoyu's expression was obviously a little unnatural, and she said resentfully: "How could it be? Didn't Emperor Xia appoint Wu Mu's youngest son, An Lehou, as the commander of the reinforcements, to rush to the aid of the north? To say that this Gu Lin is really capable, he has formed a new army in just a few days. ”

Speaking of this, the eldest grandson Miaoyu bit his lip lightly and said angrily: "However, he is not small, and he even beat Ziyin with a cane, if it weren't for His Majesty to stop me, I really want to go over to him and ask him who gave him such courage?"

Xia Huang lowered his head and smiled slightly, and said, "This is the courage I gave him, and besides, he did a good job in this matter!"

"Not bad?!" Eldest Sun Miaoyu frowned, but his voice was much firmer, "Emperor Xia knows that the new army has dispersed, I heard that Gu Lin calls himself the new army the black army, and the main generals and generals in the center are not in accordance with the regular establishment of the Jiuxia Kingdom, but like the king of the mountain, what are the generals and deputy generals, and these are some people from the rivers and lakes, if you want me to say, this black army is a group of bandits led by the king of the mountain, what is the difference between this black army and the private army?" Gu Lin's dumb disciple, even the little prince dares to fight, and he doesn't care about the royal face, can Emperor Xia control them?"

"Empress!" Xia Sizhen's voice suddenly became a little cold, he stared at Changsun Miaoyu, his hands suddenly clenched into fists, and the queen's heart trembled, "Gu Lin is the only hope in the Northland, if there is still someone who can break through the crisis in the Northland, then this person is none other than him, and if you want to really control those people from the Jianghu Sect, I'm afraid even I can't do it." Not to mention, the Master Huiming of Hongfa Temple, I have no way to invite him, and the world-famous Dong Xinping, he doesn't care about any high-ranking official status, and if he wants him to work for the Jiuxia royal family, he has no way to start. ”

"Hmph...... He still wants to win the handsome, and he wants me to say that beating him is light, and it will ruin my big thing, and I will abolish him!" Xia Huang snorted coldly and said: "There are many things, he doesn't understand, and you don't understand the queen, so I don't want you to mention this matter again, otherwise I won't be punished verbally, and I want to tell the queen that Gu Lin is not the kind of waste you think, he is the Qilin of my Jiuxia Kingdom!"

"Just him?!" Changsun Miaoyu covered his mouth and looked at Emperor Xia in disbelief, "But I heard that the reinforcements have dispersed, and the vanguard is leading Dong Xinping to lead a thousand men and horses without saying goodbye, ......and the cavalry is leading Ma Zhengkun to lead the three thousand cavalry to gallop north alone to help?"

The eldest grandson Miaoyu gritted his teeth, and then said: "And I also heard that Gu Lin fell ill with anger on the spot, he is now hiding in the army every day, he doesn't care about anything, he doesn't do anything, and he has more than half a month, and Gu Lin also officially informs him to go north, what is going on?"

"Has the black army dispersed? The queen listened to Ziyin again, right?" Emperor Xia sneered: "Shen Shixing has already reported this matter to me, and told the queen one thing, now the commander of the black army is not Gu Lin himself, Gu Lin has led the black army vanguard Dong Xinping half a month ago, and the cavalry army is galloping Ma Zhengkun to the north underground overnight, at this moment they may have started a fierce battle with the Northern Han Army!"

"What?" Eldest Sun Miaoyu's face was still incredulous, her eyes flashed, "That young man dares to lead the army to help......?"

"This is the black army's plan to attack the west!" Emperor Xia continued: "In order to mislead the Northern Han army, Gu Lin hid his identity, assumed the name Gu Ming, and led the army to aid the northern underground entrance, I think it won't be long before a battle report will come." ”

"Is this the case? Ziyin, as a member of the Black Army, why doesn't he know anything?" Seeing Emperor Xia's expression, the eldest grandson Miaoyu also panicked, she also knew that as the queen, it was extremely immoral to slander the front-line soldiers who fought bloodily behind her back, "But, as the commander of the reinforcements, can she be competent?"

"You say he's not up to the task?!" Emperor Xia shook his head slowly, and said coldly: "What he did for Jiuxia is not only worthy of this reinforcement commander, but also worthy of my absolute trust." The queen doesn't have to doubt it, I know he doesn't care what others think of him, but every time I hear someone talking about him behind his back, I can't help but want to get angry. ”

The more Emperor Xia spoke, the more angry he became, and his tone became more and more stern, "If it weren't for such a critical situation in the Northland, I really didn't want to disturb him, Queen!" You and I are husband and wife, there are some things I don't want to hide from you, I appointed Lin'er as the commander of the reinforcements, not because he is the son of Wu Mu and Nishang, but because of his ability, his notoriety is passed on by the people of Jiuxia, I admit that he did some ridiculous things before, but he has already changed his ways, let him be responsible at the same time, but also bear the notoriety, I owe him, and all our people in Jiuxia owe him!"

The eldest grandson Miaoyu was already speechless, she really didn't know why Emperor Xia would attach so much importance to that evil young man who was criticized by others, that tone, that demeanor, it seemed that the status of this waste young man in Emperor Xia's mind was higher than that of their son Xia Ziyin, the little prince!

At this moment, there was a rapid sound of running outside, and Emperor Xia's expression moved slightly, he knew that at this time, when such a hurried footstep sounded, it meant that the war report was coming.

Emperor Xia no longer paid attention to President Sun Miaoyu, turned around and greeted the door!

"Report the ......!" the joyful voice of the messenger guards made Emperor Xia look happy, obviously, this is good news!

When Emperor Xia came to the door, he saw the messenger guard suddenly knelt down on one knee, and there was an expression of disbelief on the guard's face, and he said in a trembling voice: "Report, report to Emperor Xia, great victory, great victory in the northland......

"What a big victory, you can say it quickly!" Emperor Xia stretched out his hand and took the battle report of the messenger guards, and said hurriedly: "Forget it, I'll read it myself." ”

The messenger guard swallowed the spit, his face was full of joy, and at this time, the eldest grandson Miaoyu also came behind Emperor Xia, curious, but he stood with his hands in his hands, not daring to say anything more.

Emperor Xia's eyes widened, and he carefully looked at the battle report in the north, and the more he looked at it, the more complicated his expression became, which was a mixture of joy and shock!

After reading the battle report, Emperor Xia's face suddenly became extremely solemn, he looked up to the sky and let out a long breath, closed his eyes, and seemed to be still digesting the information of the battle report......

"Emperor Xia, what did you say in the battle report?" Eldest Sun Miaoyu finally couldn't help but ask, and she turned to the messenger guard and asked, "How did the northern land achieve a great victory?"

"The cavalry of the Black Army, under the leadership of the commander Gu Ming, opened the passage to Xia Yi City in the first battle, annihilated the three elites of the Northern Han including the Northern Han Wolf Cavalry, the Northern Han Tiger Guard, and the Northern Cold Ice Front Iron Cavalry, captured more than 6,000 Northern Han soldiers, and seized countless materials. ”

"Now, the crisis in Xia Yicheng has been resolved!"

"What......!!" Eldest Sun Miaoyu had also done her homework on the situation in the Northland, and now she really couldn't believe the report of this great victory.
