"Your Majesty, have you been free lately?" Zhao Yingluo, who came closer, rarely leaned on his side as if she was flattering.

Smelling the elegant fragrance emanating from the queen's body, and looking at Zhao Yingluo, who was wearing a red and gold dress and looking more snowy and crispy, Li Nan asked curiously: "What, what's the matter?" ”

"Hmm... The concubine thought... I want to accompany you more......" Zhao Yingluo's voice was very small, but as the emperor of the former Song Kingdom, and now she is the queen, it is not easy for her to say such embarrassing words.

"Hehehe!" Seeing her shyness, Li Nan couldn't help laughing, grabbed her warm little hand, and asked with a wicked smile: "According to what I know about you, I'm afraid you can't accompany you alone, right?" ”

Zhao Yingluo put her red lips to Li Nan's ear, and said in a coquettish voice: "The concubine will work hard, and Qiaoyun and Yuanzhu will also come to help......"

This queen is the emperor, and she is bound by etiquette, so she can't wipe her face, and she has never taken the initiative in the affairs of men and women.

As the empress of the empire, and also the emperor of the former Song Kingdom, Zhao Yingluo has a lot of things on her back, and it is estimated that on the issue of heirs, the pressure from all sides is also increasing.

Li Nan kissed Zhao Yingluo with some pity, and comforted him softly: "Actually, whether there are heirs or not, it is not a big problem in my heart. But I also know your thoughts, so I'll be with you during this time. ”

Speaking of this, Li Nan couldn't help but smile and said, "Whether you can get pregnant or not depends on your ability, before going to the west, I will stay in the palace more." ”

"To the west?"

Although all the women seemed to be busy with their own things, they all pricked up their ears to listen to the conversation between Li Nan and the queen.

The other words were nothing, and the other women all understood the fact that the queen wanted an heir, but when they heard Li Nan say that he was going to the west, Hu Bing, the prime minister of the cabinet, couldn't help but ask.

This matter is not a secret, Li Nan said calmly: "Well, I'm going to go to the west to see it after a while." ”

Hu Bing asked suspiciously: "Now that there is the Jin Kingdom in the north, and the south is about to go to war with the Zhenla Empire, why does Your Majesty want to go to the west?" ”

"The Jin soldiers in the north are strong and strong, there are millions of male soldiers in the country, as well as Jin Taizong and many founding generals. If the two countries really go to war, it will inevitably cause countless casualties, and even if it wins, it will be a disastrous victory. Therefore, it is better to wait a few years before talking about it, and after the various contradictions within the Jin State are stimulated, it will be better for the empire to slowly figure it out. ”

"As for the ...... South"

Li Nan said disdainfully: "The two rebels who have lost the hearts of the people of Zhenla, maybe the Zhenla people will hate Marato and Godanway, the two guys who betrayed the country and sought glory, killed the royal family, and established themselves as kings." It is estimated that as soon as the imperial army arrives, they will inevitably defeat the people who are discouraged and include Zhenla in the territory of the empire, so there is no need to worry about things over there. ”

"But aren't the Tibetans at war with the Tanguts? Let's just wait to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, why does Your Majesty need to go to that kind of remote place? ”

"The Tubo people can't beat the Tangut people."

Li Nan shook his head and said: "You haven't seen the latest information, although there are weapons provided by the empire, but the Tubo people do not have a unified leader, they still fight on their own, and now they are being beaten by the Western Xia people. If this continues, if the ambitious Li Qianshun occupies the vast territory and pastures of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it will definitely not be a good thing for the empire, and I don't want to cultivate another Jin country. ”

Hu Bing asked, "Then what does Your Majesty plan to do when he goes to the Tubo people this time?" ”

Li Nan's answer was full of iron-blooded meaning: "I will go and see the situation first, if the Tubo people are willing to submit to the empire, it is best, otherwise, they can only use swords and soldiers to expand the territory for the empire!" ”

In the following days, Li Nan became a somewhat obscene emperor again, and after handing over most of the political affairs to Hu Bing, the prime minister, he began to accompany the other palace beauties to celebrate.

Because all the women wanted to have children belonging to themselves and Li Nan, the open competition did not appear, and the competition in the secret was very fierce, so that he enjoyed all the blessings.

After getting along for so long, the concubines in the palace also know something about Li Nan's hobbies.

Therefore, whether it is the three sisters of Zhao Yingluo wearing various colored stockings and cheongsams, Angelica, Karina and Elizabeth who have changed into Western long skirts, or Shiranui Wu, who is wearing formal and gorgeous concubine palace clothes and is in good shape, almost squeezing her clothes, all made His Majesty the Emperor instantly become a hungry wolf.

While Li Nan was working hard in the palace, the Seventh and Eighth Infantry Armies of the Empire, which had been stationed in Jiaozhi Province for several months, had become accustomed to the local climate, and had been strictly trained, under the leadership of Yue Fei and Zhang Shuye, began to attack the Zhenla Empire in the west.

The climate conditions of Indochina are very harsh, with muddy streams, dense and sultry tropical rainforests, and all kinds of leaves and vines that block the road, which can really make the hearts of those who are on the march full of boredom.

This time, the two major armies marched to Zhenla, and they were very well prepared, not only did there be many Jiaozhi and Dali people in the army who were familiar with the rainforest, but all the soldiers had been trained to adapt, and the empire also provided them with comprehensive protective measures.

Yue Fei rode on a horse to lead the Chinese army forward, and the thousands of elephant soldiers who were added to the front army were responsible for opening the way ahead, and where the elephants walked side by side, a road was naturally formed.

Since entering the territory of Zhenla, the Seventh Legion of the Empire led by Yue Fei has fought against Marato's army several times.

In this dense rainforest, the firearms of the Imperial soldiers were greatly reduced, and throwing firearms such as grenades were not allowed to be used, because they could not be thrown far because of the trees.

In view of this, when Yue Fei trained the soldiers, in addition to the regular firearms training, he focused on strengthening the soldiers' ability to fight in close combat.

The soldiers of the Seventh Legion had to run through the rainforest every day with heavy loads, which not only exercised their ability to adapt to the environment, but also strengthened the physical fitness of each soldier.

In addition to Yue Fei's unique means of training soldiers, he also paid special attention to the enemy's situation, and this time he recruited 50,000 soldiers in the legion, and after layers of selection, he selected an elite army to serve as scouts.

Before each large army move, these scouts are released to search and scout the enemy, eliminating enemy scouts and sentry so that they can avoid being ambushed by the Jinla.

In terms of the equipment and training level of the Imperial Army, no matter what terrain they encounter with the enemy, as long as they are not attacked by sneak attacks, or fall into some swamp trap, then the Zhenla soldiers are definitely not the opponents of the Imperial Soldiers.

The target of this army is a city that the scouts have already explored, which is supposed to be Marato's lair in Chenla.

It can be said that as long as this place is captured and one of the two kings of Zhenla is captured, then the battle of Zhenla in the south will be half won.
