In the capital of the Great Calendar, Li Jianshan sat on the couch. The news of Duan Lang's dispatch of troops to Moro has long been known to everyone, and the ministers of the DPRK and China have continued to write letters asking for play, and Wu Guangguang has written even more angrily to reprimand Duan Lang for not fulfilling his responsibilities as an emperor and not worthy of being a king. For these chaotic sounds, Li Jianshan could only pretend to hear them but turn a blind eye. However, Li Jianshan was very concerned and worried about Duan Lang's movements in Moro Kingdom.

On the table on the couch was the news from the business intelligence personnel sent by Li Jianshan to Moro. He knew that Da Fei's role in wartime was very large, and it was impossible to travel back and forth to deliver news frequently. But the information Li Jianshan got made him feel very heavy in his heart.

"Someone~!" Li Jianshan summoned a waiter, "Go, please ask Master Zhou Guangji of the Military Aircraft Department to come here." ”

Li Jianshan didn't know the bottom in his heart, he wanted to confirm the news from Zhou Guangji's military aircraft department, and see if Duan Lang was already a trapped beast making the last struggle, as Moro Guoxuan said. If the news is true, I am afraid that smashing the pot and selling iron will also have to concentrate troops and horses to go to the Moro country.

Zhou Guangji soon came to Xiangguo's Mansion, although Zhou Guangji was old, he was still reused by Duan Lang and was in charge of the intelligence system of the Great Calendar Kingdom. However, on the bright side, Zhou Guangji is only a master in the military department, and he doesn't even have to participate in the government.

"Zhou Guangji has seen Lord Xiangguo, and I don't know what happened to summon the old man here."

Zhou Guangji leaned on a wooden cane and bowed slightly to prepare for the salute of the lower officials. Now Li Jianshan is in full swing in the Great Calendar Kingdom, and even many people treat him as an emperor. Although Zhou Guangji is said to be an elder, the official etiquette cannot be abolished.

"Uncle Zhou, there is no need to see each other between you and me. There are no outsiders here, so it's comfortable to call me to build a mountain. Come, let's sit down and talk. Li Jianshan pointed to the other side of the case and said politely.

Zhou Guangji said with a smile, "No matter how familiar you are, the etiquette system cannot be abolished." If these old ministers in the court knew about this, they didn't know how to write a book to reprimand me. ”

Zhou Guangji was not polite, after all, this is not a court, so there is no need to worry about so many etiquette.

The subordinate served the teacup, and after retreating, Li Jianshan pointed to the file on the desk and said, "Uncle Zhou, these are all news sorted out by the business situation, you can take a look at it first." ”

Zhou Guangji lowered his eyebrows and glanced at it, but he didn't take it to watch, "Jianshan, I must have been summoned for the affairs of the Moro Country." ”

"Or your old wisdom, it is indeed for this to invite. Uncle Zhou, I'm a little restless these days, and it's not good news from the Moro Kingdom. I don't know if you have the latest situation on Duan Lang? Li Jianshan asked with a frown.

Zhou Guangji shook his head, "To be honest, what I got was similar to what you got from your side, and it was all official news released by Moro. But one thing I can assure you is that this information is certainly not true. ”

"Oh? Why did Zhou Bo dare to be so convinced? Could it be that you have other channels? Li Jianshan's eyes lit up.

Zhou Guangji shook his head again, "It's not so easy to lay down intelligence channels, just the shadow secret station is enough for me, how can there be other channels for silver two." What Lao Yu can confirm so far is that the Northern Ming and Mengdu Divisions remained intact and did not suffer excessive casualties under the pursuit of Chalchink. As for Duan Lang's side, I felt that the news promulgated by Moro was untrue because Da Fei was following. If Duan Lang was really like Moro said, Mingyue would definitely let Da Fei go to the capital to ask for help. Now that Beiming Mi Station has not received any news, Duan Lang's side should be fine. ”

Li Jianshan sighed and said, "After all, Moro is not our Great Calendar Country, there are high mountains and long roads, I am afraid that Duan Lang will be overconfident and reckless." Uncle Zhou, now is not the time when the army was raised against Great Xia, Duan Lang and the three of them are the pillars of optimus in my Great Calendar Kingdom. In case of any damage, our Great Calendar Kingdom will inevitably use the power of the whole country to crusade against Moro. This battle now seems to be a bit reckless. ”

"According to the pre-war prediction and investigation, it should not be so difficult. Moreover, when Dafei came back last time, Duan Lang had already ambushed 50,000 or 60,000 troops of the Moro Kingdom. Judging by the combat effectiveness of Moro's soldiers and horses, even if Long Mu still has a lot of troops, it should not pose a threat of annihilation to Duan Lang's troops. Could it be that things have changed over there? Zhou Guangji said suspiciously.

"Uncle Zhou, do you think we should prepare? In case the situation changes over there, immediately send reinforcements. Li Jianshan asked.

"I think~."

As soon as Zhou Guangji said this, a waiter walked in quickly, "Lord Qi Xiangguo, someone from the Military Aircraft Department of the Ministry of War asked to see Lord Zhou Guangji, and he said that he had an important report." ”

Zhou Guangji was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the person?" ”

"Just wait outside the gate."

Zhou Guangji looked at Li Jianshan and said to the waiter, "Bring someone over." ”

After a while, a captain in armor walked in, first saluted Li Jianshan, and then said to Zhou Guangji with a fist.

"Lord Qiyu, Xiaobai flew back from Beiming."

Zhou Guangji's eyes lit up, "Is there any latest news?" ”

The lieutenant hesitated, nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

Zhou Guangji looked at Li Jianshan and said to the school captain, "Say, Lord Xiangguo has the authority to know all the news." ”

"No!" The captain agreed, and then told the news from Beiming.

When Li Jianshan heard this, he couldn't help but say in surprise, "What, Lu Mu is also in Moro?" ”

Zhou Guangji waved his hand at the captain, "You go down first, let Xiaobai stay, and I'll arrange it later." ”

"No, little farewell."

After the lieutenant stepped down, the two of them went through the news again. Anyway, at least they learned that Duan Lang and the others were safe for now.

Zhou Guangji said, "Jianshan, it seems that there is going to be a big battle on the Moro side. Once the Northern Ming Dynasty dispatched troops and horses, it was bound to force Moro to fight with the whole country. In addition, since Lu Mu is in Moro, presumably Xiyue will not be idle. ”

Li Jianshan pondered for a moment and said, "This battle involves the four countries of the world, and the victory or defeat is related to the general trend of the world, so it can be said that no one can afford to lose." We can't just wait, we have to be ready for a big war. Uncle Zhou, find a way to contact Duan Lang, just say that I Li Jianshan's idea, I am going to send a second expeditionary army. ”

Zhou Guangji was stunned, "Then~ Who do you think is appropriate?" ”

Li Jianshan thought for a while, "Zhou Hu is in charge of the Zhongdu battalion, although he has the most troops, we also have to guard against the Nanping side." Therefore, Zhou Hu couldn't move. I think~ Let's let Zhan Xuan go. ”

Zhou Guangji said, "If you really want to send troops, you are so old that you think Zhang Qifeng is very suitable." Cui Zhiliang is currently guarding Xining, while there are only two veterans of Weidu Feng Ming guarding Landu City, and his strength is a little weak. Once the West Vietnam sent troops on both sides, the troops on the Landu side were not very sufficient. Chen Zhanxuan's camp in Molan City can reinforce Landu City in time. ”

"However, Zhang Qifeng only has 20,000 troops under him, and if he mobilizes from other large battalions, the time will be very rushed."

Zhou Guangji smiled bitterly, "20,000 troops is a lot, to be honest, my dignified country has experienced many battles over the years, and there is a shortage of men of appropriate age." Moreover, at present, there are many recruits in the major battalions, and even if some are mobilized, the combat effectiveness is not very strong. Zhang Qifeng led his troops to send troops, what he wanted was to inform the world of the courage of my country, and he didn't care about the number of soldiers and horses. ”

Li Jianshan thought for a while, nodded and said, "You are right, my Dali Kingdom's dispatch of troops this time is a deterrent. And looking at Mingyue's meaning, the next main force should be the Beiming army. The emperors and queens of my Great Calendar Kingdom are all fighting in Moro, and they should also let Beiming exert their strength. ”

The two discussed, and Li Jianshan decided that there was no need to ask Duan Lang, and he would make the decision to dispatch the Second Expeditionary Troops and Horses. Unlike the last time Duan Lang secretly went on an expedition, although there were not many soldiers and horses this time, Li Jianshan ordered Zhang Qifeng to step out of Yushan Pass with great fanfare. The purpose of his doing this was to deter the lord of the Moro Kingdom, Wupol Khan, and make him understand that once Duan Lang had an accident, the Great Calendar Kingdom would inevitably fight with Moro to the end.

Beiming Xiang Lucheng, Tangtai Moli is also convening relatives and important courtiers to discuss the expedition. The reserve soldiers and horses in the capital moved, which was related to the life and death of the entire Northern Ming Dynasty. Tantai Morley was also predicting the outcome of the situation, and did not dare to make a decision easily.

Xiangguo Borshutu looked at the lord of the country and said worriedly, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better to be safe in this matter." After all, judging from the news from various sources, the current situation is not clear. All the troops of our Northern Ming Dynasty are pressed, and if there is a mistake, I am afraid that it will be difficult to deploy even the troops guarding the capital. ”

Lantai Mori looked at the Great Pavilion Master Huo Zasi and asked, "Great Pavilion Elder, which aspect of these news do you think prevails?" ”

Hozasi clenched his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the stakes are very high, and the ministers dare not speculate. However, His Majesty Dali Guo Jishan and His Royal Highness Mingyue are in danger, and if we don't cooperate, this is also a bit unreasonable. ”

The old prince Tang Taicang coughed, looked at Lan Tai Mo Li and said, "Your Majesty Mo Li, don't forget that the secret letter of the bright moon said that Xiyue Lu Mu also led soldiers and horses to participate. I'm afraid that if the army on our side moves, the West Vietnamese side will not be idle. We should ask Mingyue how to deal with the battle situation in case the West and Vietnam Moro join forces. ”

Tantai Moli frowned slightly, he knew that the old prince and Xiangguo Bor's technique were both in favor of being safe. But if he didn't send troops according to the plan made by Mingyue, he knew that Duan Lang would be in a difficult situation. What's more, people are here to fight for them, and doing so will also make Shantai Mori fall into a place of injustice.

Seeing that the lord of the country was a little embarrassed, Borshutu took a step forward and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, or we will adopt a compromise method and order General Zico to lead his troops to attack, but instead of killing the capital of Moro, we will camp in the city of Temira. On the other side, General Mondu was ordered to move towards the city of Jacques, the capital of the Moro Kingdom. In the event of a strong counterattack, you can retreat to the city of Tamira to join up with Zico. Moreover, the city of Temira is only a few days away from the city of Mamaia, so it is convenient to go to the rescue in case His Majesty Jishan is in trouble. ”

The old prince Taicang, Mo Lianhai and others agreed, thinking that this compromise was good. However, there was a bitterness in his heart, and he saw that these clan relatives did not have the courage and confidence to defeat Moro, so he came up with such a compromise. However, it is a matter of life and death in the Northern Ming Dynasty, and it is inconvenient for Lantai Moli to act arbitrarily. In the event of a defeat, I am afraid that the various clansmen will unite to oust him.

Tantai Mori nodded, "Since all Aiqing agrees, then okay, send troops according to Xiangguo's wishes." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Huo Zasi, "Elder Dage, this dispatch of troops is related to the life and death of my Beiming, and I specially ordered you to go to General Qi Ke's camp as a prison army." Tomorrow we will go to the capital with my will, and there will be no mistake. ”

"Minister~ obey the order!" Hozath said as he bowed.

He moved his stiff back, his face showing exhaustion. As soon as the ministers saw it, Xiangguo Bor's Shutu hurriedly took the lead in summarizing a few sentences, and Shantai Moli ordered everyone to retreat.

After the royal family and the courtiers left, the company changed his tired appearance just now, and summoned Khozasi to meet him secretly. Huo Zasi, who had just left for a short time, returned to the Hao Pavilion Hall again.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if there is a will to summon the ministers here again?" Hozath asked curiously.

Shantai Mori waved his hand to retreat, and then said, "Elder Pavilion, just now the clan relatives and ministers all wanted me to act cautiously, but I knew that if I did this, I would fall into a dilemma. Moreover, I will also have a reputation for being unkind. ”

Huo Zasi sighed, "Yes, but the ministers are for the stability of the Beiming River, and your majesty must be very difficult." ”

Shantai Mori snorted and said, "Elder Dage, they are not for the country, they are cowardly, it can be said that these people have no confidence in being able to defeat Moro at all. They felt that Duan Lang's troops were currently insufficient, and they were restrained by Lu Mu of Western Vietnam, and our Northern Ming army had to face the Moro soldiers and horses alone, and there was little hope of victory. ”

"Doesn't Your Majesty think so?" Khozath's eyes lit up and he looked at Tantai Morli.

Lantai Mori leaned back on the couch and looked at Hozath as well, "Elder Pavilion, do you think so too?" ”

Huo Zasi clenched his fists, "Chen~ I don't dare to agree." In this matter, the minister feels reasonable, and we should all trust His Majesty Jishan and Princess Mingyue. ”

"Good!" Yutai Mori shouted, and then said, "I didn't misunderstand you, the elder of the Great Pavilion is worthy of being the stone of my Northern Ming Dynasty. Therefore, I have a secret decree for you. The army can send troops to the city of Temila, but be sure to contact His Majesty Jishan. Then, all actions are subject to the instructions of His Majesty Jishan. Pavilion Lord, I will give you a jade seal that you can carry with you, which can dispatch thousands of troops and horses in my Northern Ming Dynasty. But there is one thing you have to keep in mind, when the time comes, the clan will ask about it, and this is not what I meant. ”

When the pavilion master Huo Zasi heard this, he knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists and said, "Minister~ obey the order!" The generals will not be subject to foreign military orders, and the ministers will bear it. ”

Lantai Mori nodded with satisfaction, although he is the emperor of the Northern Ming Dynasty, but some things cannot be completely opposed to the clansmen. It is a matter of stability and touches on the fundamental interests of all clansmen, even if it is very strong, it can only act secretly and hide from everyone. But they believe that they will be the ultimate winners of this battle. If it weren't for his serious illness, he would have wanted to be like Duan Lang and personally lead thousands of troops to sweep Moro.

At this time, the capital of the Moro kingdom, the city of Yaks, the lord of the country, Vupor Khan, seemed to be in a sea of suffering. The defeat of the dragon herd army in Mamaia City caused him to fall ill in the palace as if he had been hit hard.

Wupol Khan endured his illness, and the high priest Hutu and the prince Wu Xuan entered the palace late. After a secret discussion between the trio, Vupor Khan made a surprising decision. He sent Prince Wu Xuanchi as an envoy to Xiyue to meet with the lord Zhou Zhongde to borrow troops. On the other hand, the high priest Hu Tu was sent as the emperor's personal envoy to meet Duan Lang secretly in Mamaiya City.

Vupor Khan was prepared for both things, and while he sent people to Western Vietnam to borrow troops, he asked Hutu to secretly meet Duan Lang. Wupol Khan wanted to exchange the chips in his hand for Duan Lang to withdraw from this competition and no longer participate in the friction between Moro and Beiming. Once Duan Lang agrees, the two parties can sign an alliance. But Wupol Khan also knew the relationship between Duan Lang and Beiming, so he would also make concessions to Beiming. And the most important point is that the bargaining chips between Vupor Khan and Duan Lang are very important. He felt that as soon as this chip was thrown, Duan Lang should not refuse.
