The emperor listened to Bai Di's words a little bit, but if he fully believed Bai Di's words, this heat seemed to be much worse.

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and Huangfu Youde, who had finished lunch, returned to the imperial study, and was just about to pick up a pen to review the previous notebook, but Li Dequan's footsteps disrupted his plan.

"Holy Lord, Wu Jie asks to see."

"Wu Jie? Isn't he supposed to be at the front? How did you come back again? Could it be that Miao Junfeng brought the good news back to me so quickly? QuickPass! ”

"Yes! Xuan Wujie enters the hall! Li Dequan shouted.

A moment later, Wu Jie trotted in and made a holy salute to the emperor.

"Aiqing, why did you come back so soon? Could it be that there is good news ahead? Huangfu Youde asked with a smile.

"Long live the return, the minister is still coming back this time for the sake of food and grass. The marshal ordered his ministers to raise grain and grass again, and the amount of this batch of grain and grass must be able to support the army for half a year. ”

"Huh? I remember that the food and grass you raised earlier, plus the food and grass he added along the way, was enough for him to last for seven months. Could it be that the Western army is menacing, the soldiers are strong, and the high-level generals are all extraordinary, so that our army has to fight a protracted war with them? ”

"Long live the Sage, the marshal means exactly what you do. Before his return, the marshal had three encounters with the army led by Bismarck, and in each encounter, the marshal inflicted heavy losses on Bismarck.

Just when our officers and men thought that they would inflict a heavy blow on the Bismarck army and then seize Petersburg, the marshal suddenly ordered the whole army to retreat.

Afterwards, after the minister's understanding, the minister learned that when the marshal and Bismarck had their third confrontation, a large number of reinforcements came from Bismarck's rear, resulting in an instant imbalance in the forces of the enemy and us.

According to the spies, there are now 200,000 troops under Bismarck's command, which is 100,000 more than our army. ”

"I see, then it is understandable that he ordered you to come back and raise food and grass again. Under the premise of such a huge disparity in troops, it is reasonable to hold on and wait for an opportunity to find a fighter. ”

"Holy Lord, your analysis is very correct. But there is one thing that the minister does not know whether to talk about or not. Wu Jie was entangled for a while, but he was still ready to report what the dragon guard told him to Huangfu Youde.

"As a human minister, how to speak, what to say, I don't need to teach you anymore!" The emperor looked at him with virtue and said meaningfully.

"No, this matter is going to start when I met a dragon guard on the way back. ......”

A quarter of an hour later, Wu Jie reported what the dragon guard had told him to Huangfu Youde word for word.

"Aiqing, what do you think about this matter? I want to hear the truth, not to say perfunctory words. Huangfu Youde's hand began to tap on the table rhythmically, and his eyes also seemed deep and mysterious.

"Long live back, the minister doesn't know, the minister is very contradictory." After Wu Jie finished speaking, he buried his body very low, and a layer of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

"I don't know if it's good, and the contradiction is normal. If this matter were someone else, I would have summoned him back without hesitation. But who made him Miao Junfeng? I am the most trusted minister.

Okay, that's the end of this matter, don't spread the word. Stand down! Do your best in the matter of grain and grass, seven months of grain and grass is too little, just give him a whole year! ”

Wu Jie was stunned when he heard this, if it weren't for Li Dequan reminding him on the side, maybe he would really be stunned there, and he couldn't wake up for a while.

After Wu Jie left, Huangfu Youde sighed heavily, and then asked Li Dequan: "Xiao Lizi, do you say that Miao Junfeng is really ambitious?" ”

"Hooray, look at what you said. What man has no ambition! Men without ambition are mediocre people, and the more outstanding the person, the bigger the heart.

According to the old slaves, Miao Junfeng is not only ambitious, but also very great. But to say that the imperial power is overturned, the army is self-respecting, and one side is divided. The old slave felt that this was a bit unrealistic and unreliable. ”

"Oh? So what do you say his ambition is? Why not imperial power? Huangfu Youde was very interested in what Li Dequan said, and stared at him without blinking his eyes and asked.

"Hey, long live the old slave, can you stop staring at the old slave like this? The old slaves are all boring to you. Li Dequan made a shy gesture.

"Hahaha..., you're still embarrassed! You are not a great beauty, don't worry, I still love beauty.

Thank you, only you know me! ”

"Look at what you said, the old slave doesn't want you to lose your mind for a while and hurt your body. Your dragon has only just recovered, so take care of it.

Miao Junfeng has a family in the world, which is his roots. If you don't have a tree to follow, let alone grow up, it's a problem to survive.

In the old slave's view, Miao Junfeng is dedicated to pursuing the pinnacle of cultivation, and even breaking the routine and transcending the world, which is not a world that mortals can touch.

Imperial power is a mundane thing, and it is a constraint for those who want to reach that height. They will not give up the pursuit in their hearts for the sake of a tight hoop. ”

"Hearing you say that, I'm relieved. But my heart was still a little uneasy. There are always exceptions to everything, in case Miao Junfeng is a stunned young man and subverts our thinking, what do you think we should do?

I don't want to use the power of the Maison. These guys don't vomit bitterness when they eat people. I'd rather have my family taken away by Miao Junfeng than be eaten by those insatiable guys. ”

"Hooray, if you really don't worry, the old slave has a plan. This plan can not only dissolve the depression in your heart, but also prepare for the next year's crowning ceremony. ”

"Oh? Tell me what you do? "Huangfu Youde is very interested in Li Dequan's dedication, and he has not offered it in the past. All the strategies he offered have achieved unexpected results.

"Hooray, there is only one marshal in the army of the Western Front, and there is no deputy marshal. If you send the Eighth Prince to be a deputy marshal in the barracks, you can play a role in supervising and deterring, and secondly, you are also training him.

The old slave knew that Banzai admired the Eighth Prince very much, but it was too difficult for him to mature quickly in this deep palace, and now this is not a great opportunity? ”

"I understand what you mean. The appointment of the prince as the deputy marshal, even if Miao Junfeng has a small move, the officers and men of the three armies may not all support it. As long as the banner of the imperial court is still there, and I am still there, the allegiance of the soldiers will always be to the imperial court, and it will be me!

At the same time, Ming'er has this experience, and it can also be said that he has formed a relationship with the soldiers. If he becomes king in the future, even if someone wants to be unfavorable to him, he must weigh it. ”

"That's right, that's what the old slave meant. It's just that the meaning of the old slave has given birth to more meanings under the interpretation of Banzai, and the artistic conception has become deeper. ”

"Hahaha..., just you can talk. Don't go ahead and preach the message! I know that Ming'er has returned to the palace yesterday. ”

"Nothing can escape the eyes of the law, so the old slave will go to pass the decree." Li Dequan smiled and retreated, and walked out of the imperial study in three steps and two steps.
