The military report in front was quickly sent back to the capital, and Zhiying first felt glad that he had expected the epidemic in the army, and then worried about how to crack the powerful power of the camel cavalry.

The closer the time is to the Battle of Bailonggang, the less effective information she can provide, when Bailizan died of illness in Ganzhou, Cui Yi saw that the city could not be defended, so he fled all the way to the northwest with people, and then came up with Yangmingguan to make plans, but unfortunately he was still besieged by Cui Jie's men and horses in Bailonggang, and he was defeated and died.

Six years have passed, and the fate-deciding moment is about to come, although the primary and secondary positions are reversed, Cui Jie is still a tricky opponent, without Shan Jian, he still has Guo Mao, and the support of Humeng Tuoer and other countries in the Western Regions, just a camel cavalry, so that the imperial court's rebel army is helpless, Zhiying has to admit that he is indeed blessed by the destiny of heaven.

But so what? Even if he is the son of destiny, he has to change his life against the sky, so that he can taste the taste of revenge.

Zhiying summoned all the generals who had led troops to fight in the Western Regions, regardless of age or age, to Yaohua Palace, and asked them about the advantages and disadvantages of camels, trying to find an effective way to deal with camels. But the generals have no more information about camels than her, Dai Zhibei has been stationed in Liangzhou for several years, speaking of camels, basically the advantages of camels in transportation, about the disadvantages of camels, I really can't think of it.

However, Dai Zhibei's youngest son Dai Jing proposed a solution: "Since we can't do anything with camels, why don't we also get him dozens of camels to replace horses, so that although we can't defeat the enemy, at least we have the strength to fight, and it's good to be able to contain the enemy." ”

Zhong Yuanshan frowned and said: "The emperor must have thought of this method, but firstly, the camels are mostly used by caravans to transport goods, and it is difficult to raise so many camels for a while, and secondly, the camels that pull goods are not trained, and they may not be able to go into battle, in case they are frightened, they may injure their own people by mistake, and thirdly, the imperial court does not have cavalry who can control camels, and the camels are so tall, in case they fall, it is not a joke." ”

Dai Jing was young and full of energy, and when she heard this, she didn't show any timidity, but took the initiative to ask: "As long as the mother agrees, the young general will be responsible for this matter." ”

The Dai family has been loyal to Cui Yi for more than ten years, and Zhiying also admires Dai Jing's bravery, so he responded: "If you have this heart, it is the luck of the soldiers in front, the luck of the emperor, the luck of Da Chu, how can this palace not allow it, this matter will be fully entrusted to you, if you have any needs, or any difficulties, you can tell this palace at any time." ”

"Thank you, Niang!" Dai Jing knelt down and thanked him, "Training camels is not something that can be done overnight, I hope that Niangniang will first repair a letter to the emperor, please ask the emperor to temporarily delay the attack of the coalition army, and the young general will definitely do his best to train a camel cavalry for Da Chu." ”

Since ancient times, it is not easy to bring forth the new, although Zhiying said that he was given carte blanche to Dai Jing, but he still sent people to the scene from time to time to check the progress, Dai Jing is only in his early twenties this year, but he has a vague demeanor of a general, he took the token given by Zhiying, went to the second battalion of the east and west to select five hundred strong cavalry people, and bought back nearly a hundred camels at a high price from the merchants of the Western Regions, training day and night, a month passed, and it was a little effective.

Cheng Fengyi took her daughter into the palace to play, and the two talked about training camels, Cheng Fengyi said: "Once upon a time in Beidi, some people also thought about training antelopes to fight, antelopes have thick and sharp horns, and sometimes they can pierce the belly of wolves. But that is to say, laughing, no matter how good the antelope horns are, can they be more profitable than knives and guns? But the mutton was sent to people for nothing. ”

The speaker had no intention of listening to the listener, and suddenly found inspiration from her words, and ordered Weiwei Temple to make a batch of new bridles overnight and send them to Liangzhou.

"What is this?" The supervisor of Weiwei Temple opened the box, and Cui Yi looked at it, and his eyes widened.

Compared to the old one, the new bridle has a pair of sharp thorns, like rhinoceros horns, and when it rushes towards a camel, it will act like an antelope horn - Zhiying thinks so.

However, the reality is ridiculous, most of the war horses are not used to having an extra thing between the two eyes, and the direction of walking will deviate from time to time, although it has caused some damage to the camel, but more often it is a mistake to injure the people around the left, plus the horse does not have the habit of hitting the opponent with his head like an antelope, occasionally someone falls over and is pierced by the thorn, and he doesn't even know how to get rid of it, and he delays time in vain.

Before the battle was over, Bailizan hurriedly ordered someone to take the old bridle out of the box again.

Zhiying did useless work in vain, wasted a lot of manpower and financial resources, and was extremely depressed, but fortunately, at this time, Dai Jing's camel cavalry training has achieved initial results, although it is still far from catching up with the coalition army, but it is better than nothing, Zhiying can't care about frustration, and sent them on the road with great expectations.

The time is already December, the battlefield in Liangzhou is still stalemate, both sides are constantly sending reinforcements, camel cavalry has become the biggest obstacle to stop the rebel army, including the stinging bridle head, everyone has also thought of a lot of other ways one after another, but they can't help this strong desert beast.

Suddenly, the winter solstice is coming, and Zhiying knows that it is impossible for Cui Yi to come back to accompany her for the New Year this year, which makes her can't help but think of the winter she spent with Bo Muer and Sanduo on the grassland, the severe cold in the north seems to be particularly cruel in that year, if it weren't for her daughter Xiao Cui Xian by her side, it would be difficult for Zhiying to imagine how she would survive if she lost hope.

Little Cui Xian is more than four years old, love to run and laugh, and will take care of her younger brother, at the end of every morning, the little princess is always accompanied by the wet nurse, with a small quilt wrapped in a crockpot to visit Xiao Cui Hao, the crockpot is filled with minced porridge, when Zhiying looks at the folding, she is on the side to add food to her brother, occasionally Zhiying looks up to see, and sees that the two children are fed seriously, and the other eats attentively, she feels that her heart is extra warm, and no matter how much hard work becomes worth it.

This morning has just ended, Zhiying hugged his son and was ready to go back to approve the folding, and suddenly there was a eunuch outside the Ming Hall to report that there was a military report to report back, because Cui Yi wrote back every three or five days, or reported safety, or poured out his thoughts, sometimes just said some interesting things in the army, Zhiying didn't care, took it casually, and took the two children to sit in the carriage.

When they returned to Yaohua Palace, the palace maids poured the soup pot, held their hands for a while, and then opened the military newspaper with a smile: "The mother concubine will read a letter to you, and see what interesting things have happened to my father." ”

Xiao Cui Xian scooped up a spoonful of hot porridge, blew it, tasted it, fed it to her younger brother, and then looked at her: "When will my father come back?" ”

saw that Zhiying's face was pale, her hands trembled violently, and her eyes almost fell out.

"Someone's coming!" She stood up from the soft couch suddenly, the soup woman on her lap fell to the ground with a bang, and the boiling water splashed on the ground, and Xiao Cui Xian was so frightened by this loud noise that a spoonful of meat porridge fell on the hem of her skirt.

Zhiying almost cried: "Go and invite the eldest princess, the concubine, and the general!" Let's just say that something happened to the emperor! ”

Little Cui Xian cried loudly with a "wow".

When her daughter cried, Zhiying instantly sobered up, and grabbed Xiaoqiu, who was about to run out of the door: "Wait! Don't let others know about this matter, Yaohua Palace must keep your mouth shut for this palace, do you hear it! ”

The palace maid and eunuch in the palace knelt on the ground, and swore in a panic that she would never say it, and Zhiying let go: "Go quickly!" ”

Before the letter was unfolded, she vaguely felt that something was wrong, and the words on the letterhead were different from Cui Yi's. Cui Yi's words have been like ghost paintings for many years, and only when she is used to seeing it, and when Xi Shi is in her lover's eyes, she will feel that it has a special charm, but others only feel miserable.

Unfold a look, sure enough, the letter was not written by Cui Yi, but written by Bailizan, just more than half a month ago, the coalition army did not know why the camp was locked up for several days without fighting, Cui Yi has always been a bandit, advocating that it should be run over directly regardless of 3721, but Bailizan felt that it was inappropriate, and the other party should not fight, according to morality, it should not be started.

"Mr. Baili has read a lot of books, and he pays a lot of attention to it, what should and should not be in a war, and winning in the end is the most important thing." Cheng Fengyi was straightforward, and before she finished speaking, she bluntly expressed her dissatisfaction with Bailizan's move.

The three of them received the report and rushed into the palace in the shortest possible time, Zhiying saw Cheng Fengyi, first hugged her and cried, and was easily persuaded to rest, and told them what was written in the letter with a whimper.

Zhong Yuanshan frowned: "What happened later?" The emperor really didn't do it? ”

Zhiying's eyes were red, and he was hugged by Cheng Fengyi and sat on the soft couch, wiping his tears while saying: "It's all my fault, before leaving, I specially instructed him, don't be impulsive in case of trouble, listen to the opinions of Mr. and the generals, the emperor and General Xu advocated killing the past, and other people, including Mr., felt that there might be fraud and couldn't go, but after five days of delay, the coalition army actually began to retreat!" And they retreated separately, and while retreating, they also quarreled, as if there was infighting. ”

The coalition army retreated in the middle of the night, Cui Yi was awakened from his sleep, and immediately ordered the camp to pursue after learning about this, Bailizan stopped again, but Cui Yi no longer listened to him, thinking that it was because he was suspicious before, and as a result, he missed a great opportunity and did not take advantage of the internal strife of the coalition army to catch them off guard. After the two argued, Cui Yi won as a king, and the army divided into four ways to chase the armies of various countries.

Yang Qiong sighed when he heard this, and said: "This is really the plan...... "There is not much difference between the strength of the two sides, the coalition army has camels, and they are more familiar with the desert than the soldiers in the Central Plains.

Zhiying covered her face and choked up: "Mr. said that it was dark at that time, and the emperor was in a rage, and he couldn't listen to anyone's persuasion at all...... There was no news. ”
