Text Section 135 A great opportunity

Lawfully kill on sight! Hearing such an order made Tantai Mingyue very sad, and it also completely shredded the illusions in her heart. Mingyue still thought that her father could understand her hard work, and fantasized about letting the border soldiers intercept her and persuade her to go back. Unexpectedly, what she was waiting for would be such an order.

"General Mondu, thank you for speaking out. However, Mingyue does not plan to return to the capital again. It's not my home anymore, it's my home~ in Daxia! Yutai Mingyue said with a slightly pale face.

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, this~ the last general will not dare to disobey the holy order."

Meng Du looked at Tantai Mingyue in embarrassment, and it was really difficult for him to start with this princess who was deeply loved by the herdsmen of Beiming. What's more, Mingyue is also extremely prestigious in the army.

Mingyue said bitterly, "You can order the soldiers to kill me, I don't blame you." From birth to the present, Mingyue has asked herself if she has done anything to be sorry for Beiming. Since the age of thirteen, Mingyue has been deeply involved in the tribe to observe the people's conditions, thinking about how I can make my Beiming herdsmen fed and clothed. Regarding the border between Bactria and Moro, Mingyue made suggestions and did it herself. All this is not for the sake of my father and the royal family, but Mingyue fantasizes that my Beiming Li people can have a stable and prosperous homeland. It's a pity that Mingyue gave birth to a daughter by mistake. Originally, I still harbored a trace of guilt, ashamed of my father's nurturing grace. But now, Mingyue has completely lost her worries. General Mengdu, let the others go and bring my corpse back to Xianglu City. ”

When Han Feng heard this, he took out his waist knife and said in a deep voice, "Mingyue, there is a teacher here, unless you step on my corpse, no one will want to touch you." ”

"Master, don't embarrass General Mengdu, Mingyue is alive and is the princess of Beiming, even if she dies, she can't aim her sword at her own soldiers."

"Bright Moon~!"

"Master, there is no need to say more, if you are still your beloved apprentice Mingyue, then follow my last wish." Yutai Mingyue said resolutely.

Han Feng held the handle of the knife tightly, no matter what Yutai Mingyue said, he would not take half a step back. Even if it is death, it must die in front of the bright moon.

Meng Du looked at the princess in front of him, who he once respected, and felt a little undecided in his heart. In any case, Princess Mingyue stopped the war between Great Xia and Beiming that day, which made Meng very grateful. It is even said that many soldiers in the Mengdu camp also survived because of the alliance between Tangtai Mingyue and Great Xia. Mongolia is not afraid of war, but no one wants to watch the soldiers who get along day and night die in the war.

Meng Du glanced back at the soldiers behind him, and found that their eyes seemed to carry a kind of pleading and expectation. Meng Du hesitated for a long time, suddenly made up his mind, and turned around and asked.

"What do you see, boys?"

"Back to the general, I didn't see anything."

"Did you find Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

"Nope!"

"Alright, let's go over there. The decree of the lord of the kingdom shall not be disobeyed. But no one can be found, and there is no way for the general. ”

After Meng Du finished speaking, he turned around and rode his horse. Meng Du hugged his fist slightly at the Mingyue of Tantai, and then waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him quickly gave way to a road.

Tantai Mingyue looked at Meng Du in surprise, but she didn't expect him to dare to resist the decree. With tears in her eyes, she bowed slightly to everyone gratefully, she did not leave immediately, but took out a letter from her arms.

"General Mengdu, if the war in the Northern Ming Dynasty is urgent, please forward this letter to my father. Mingyue believes that at that time, the father will exempt you from responsibility for dereliction of duty. ”

Meng Du took the letter, "Your Royal Highness, take care! ”

"General, take care!"

Han Feng rushed down with the tip of his knife, clenched his fists and said, "If he is a general, this favor will be repaid." ”

"Protect the princess, please!" After speaking, Meng Du led the horse to the side.

Tantai Mingyue got back into the car, looked at the soldiers on both sides, and waved her hand gratefully. She knew that she would never know how many years she would be able to return to her homeland. The bright moon of Tangtai bid farewell to Beiming and stepped into Yushan Pass.

In the capital city, the Seven Princes and their entourage, who had been walking for half a month, finally came. If Emperor Yuning's first holy decree only ended with Duan Lang and the others venting, then the appointment of the Seventh Prince Delong touched their bottom line.

The appointment of the generalissimo of soldiers and horses is not a trivial matter, even if the Nanping army invaded, Emperor Yuning did not dare to let the prince Dezhang sit on the position of generalissimo of soldiers and horses. The war is not a child's play, one move is accidentally lost, Duan Lang did not expect that Emperor Yuning would hand over the responsibility of the Western Front to Delong.

In the palace, the Seventh Prince Delong looked at Duan Lang and the three of them with cold faces, and asked gently.

"Why, His Highness has sent you so much grain, grass, supplies and silver, and you don't even say a word of thanks?"

Zhang Ruming licked his slightly dry lips, stared at his little eyes and asked, "I said Xiao Qi, Your Majesty got you a generalissimo, what does this mean?" Could it be that Lao Tzu's Sky Survey Army will be under your control in the future? ”

Listening to Zhang Ruming's provocative and even somewhat rebellious words, the Seventh Prince Delong smiled and nodded, "Yes, it stands to reason that it should be under the jurisdiction of His Royal Highness." ”

Zhang Ruming pursed his lips, "I'm afraid, you can't move." Don't say it's you, even if it's this Heavenly Master, you can't dispatch them. So, you better go back and tell Your Majesty that no one cares about you here. If it really doesn't work, you can ask Your Majesty to appoint Duan Lang as the generalissimo and ensure that these people will support it. ”

The Seventh Prince smiled, "Lord Shangguan, aren't you afraid that I will join you in these words." ”

"Hehe, I don't care, anyway, Lao Tzu is very comfortable in Lidu City, it's a big deal to continue to demote my official position." Zhang Ruming crossed Erlang's legs, and his words were full of mockery.

Duan Lang crossed his arms and didn't say anything, just looked at the Seventh Prince calmly. And Li Jianshan lowered his head and blew on the teacup, as if he hadn't heard anything.

The Seventh Prince shook his head with a wry smile, "I said that you guys, can't you treat me like a friend?" ”

"Don't, our brother can't climb high." Zhang Ruming rolled his eyes.

The Seventh Prince simply stopped paying attention to Zhang Ruming, turned his head to look at Duan Lang and said, "Brother Duan, you don't really think that I am here to seize military power, right?" ”

Duan Lang smiled slightly, "Of course not." ”

"Look, Brother Duan still understands His Highness."

"Because you can't take it from anywhere." Duan Lang continued.

"Uh~!" The Seventh Prince was blocked by Duan Lang for a moment, and said with a wry smile, "Okay, I'm not joking with you, to be honest, I'm just here to put up a name." If you don't believe me, I'll give Duan Lang the golden arrow. ”

"Well, that's pretty much it." Zhang Ruming's face looked a lot better, and then asked, "Old Seven, Your Majesty knows that you can't grasp the military power, why do you still issue this appointment?" ”

The Seventh Prince, Delong, looked at the three of them and said seriously, "Actually, my father is for the people of the world to see." The two princes are one south and one west, and in the case that my Great Xia is facing a double blow, this is very important to the morale of the people. You only have military power in your eyes, but your father has to take care of the whole world. Since the war, the people's hearts have been unstable, and my father's behavior has also played an inspiring role. ”

"Then why don't you say hello to us in advance? Even if our brothers are insignificant, at least we have to listen to General Fang's opinion. Zhang Ruming asked.

"Because my father trusts General Fang and trusts you even more, my father feels that there is no need to ask too much. The transfer of military power is not a trivial matter, and even if there is no fighting, it will take several months to finalize. What's more, the war is currently changing commanders, do you really think that my father doesn't know that this is a taboo for soldiers. ”

Duan Lang said, "But this holy order has boosted the hearts of the people in the world, but it has hit the morale of the generals in the west. Isn't Your Majesty worried that the soldiers at the front will be low and unable to stop the eastward advance of the Western Vietnamese army? ”

"Brother Duan, if the soldiers in the west can't even withstand this pressure, then how can the combat effectiveness begin. Could it be that any decree of the father and the emperor must be decided after consulting the soldiers? ”

The Seventh Prince, Delong, looked at Duan Lang solemnly, if that was the case, how was this different from rebellion. The western generals need the bottom line, but as a great summer son, they need the dignity of the emperor even more.

Duan Lang smiled, "Okay, then follow Your Majesty's holy will." ”

"That's right, we are friends, can I still take away Brother Duan's military power. What's more, my father also knew that I didn't have the ability to do military affairs, so he would give such an order. If there was a person who knew how to do it, my father wouldn't have done it. In addition, this can be regarded as a little pressure on my third brother, so that he knows that even if he sits in a big position in the future, he will not be able to cover the sky with one hand and ignore the will of the people. ”

Zhang Ruming and the three of them looked at each other, and the explanation of the Seven Princes could still be said to be in the past. In any case, they still have a good impression of the Seventh Prince Delong, and they do not reject him in their hearts.

Duan Lang said, "Old Seven, since you say so, then we are still buddies." I have to keep half of the 100,000 soldiers and horses you brought. ”

"No problem, everything is up to you, General Duan." The Seventh Prince heartily agreed.

Faced with the interrogation of the three people, the seventh prince Delong also secretly sweated. Although Emperor Yuning also explained some things and told him what to do, when it came to the real thing, the Seventh Prince Delong was really worried about Duan Lang's competition. Especially Shangguan Xuanwu, a thorn, he can do anything.

Li Jianshan was secretly happy in his heart, now there is grain and horses in the capital, but the only thing lacking is the source of soldiers. Although the fighting power of these soldiers and horses recruited from various prefectures is very weak, they are still much stronger than the newly recruited people. After only two months of rigorous training for the old and the new, Li Jianshan believed that this person would soon form a combat effectiveness.

On the side of Landu City, in the big tent of the Chinese army in the Xiyue camp, Generalissimo Han Pingzi listened to the news sent by the secret agent, and his eyes couldn't help but light up. Emperor Yuning actually sent the prince to send troops and food, which was a great opportunity.

The defense line of Landu City, for Han Pingzi, can find a breakthrough at any time. He didn't do it, he just didn't want to stretch the front too long. Han Pingzi knew that several major battalions in Great Xia had been mobilized, and Forte was extremely empty. He only needed to slowly consume Fang Jiye's 200,000 horses, and the remaining cities basically had no resistance. Even if there was a Duan Lang and the Sky Surveyor, Han Pingzi didn't really pay attention to it. When the time comes, two or three hundred thousand troops will press in, and the small Lidu City will not be able to stop their advance footwork at all.

Han Pingzi walked to the sand table and observed carefully. Looking at the zigzag route, Han Pingzi stretched out his hand and pointed.

"This is the place, come here, immediately send scouts with carrier pigeons to secretly ambush this place. As soon as the arrival of the grain transport team in Daxia is discovered, the carrier pigeons will be released immediately. ”

Han Pingzi ordered, and the scout battalion immediately sent the most elite scouts to take advantage of the darkness to pass through the gap in the defense of Landu City and go to the designated place. Han Pingzi this time was not only for the grain and grass, but also for the Seventh Prince Delong, who was canonized as the generalissimo of the western soldiers and horses. After receiving the information of the scout pigeons, they can concentrate their forces to break through the defense line and run directly to the past. Once the Seventh Prince Delong is taken, it will not only hit the morale of Great Xia, but also become an important bargaining chip for exchanging cities. At that time, even if Fang Jiye sent troops to rescue, he would be able to take advantage of the situation to capture Landu City. Of course, Han Pingzi will not let go of such an excellent opportunity.

In the capital city, the seventh prince Delong stayed for two days, and continued to move forward with the remaining 50,000 horses. After talking about Duan Lang and the others, there is still a Fang Jiye in front of him, and the Seventh Prince doesn't know if Fang Jiye will accept his words. In case Fang Jiye drilled the tip of the bull's horns, the Seventh Prince Delong could only come and ask Duan Lang to help him. Otherwise, there would be no place for him in the Western Theater.

The Seventh Prince, Delong, took the golden arrows and the holy decree and rushed to the Landu City.
