Yan Rongling replied: "Father, in fact, the sons want to end this war as soon as possible, and they do have selfish intentions. ”

"Oh, let's hear it."

Emperor Hong Zheng looked at Yan Rongling and wondered what he thought?

Yan Rongling arched his hand and said: "After Mingzhu is pregnant, Xiao Yao is not around. If the battle at the border can be completed as soon as possible, then maybe Xiao Yao can return to the capital and watch the child be born. ”

"Then what do you think Xiao Yao is because he doesn't agree to take the initiative and do it once and for all?"

"Maybe Xiao Yao is worried that after winning this battle, he can't stay in Yumen Pass and wants to return to the capital. If you want to hold the military power again, you don't know that you want the Year of the Monkey. ”

Although Emperor Hong Zheng felt that Xiao Yao was not a person who fought for fame and fortune. But since the situation is so good, it would be a bit of a waste of opportunity not to take the initiative to attack.

After thinking about it again and again, Emperor Hong Zheng finally issued an order to take the initiative to attack and completely eliminate the Liao.

When Empress Dowager Zhong received the news, she was silent for a long time, and she had a hunch that this was a conspiracy against Xiao Yao. But Emperor Hong Zheng has already ordered to send troops, and she can no longer oppose it, otherwise she will interfere in the government.

Ye Shisan also sensed the danger, and asked people to send a letter to the border overnight.

At the same time, Yan Rongling's secret letter was also sent to the border pass. And Xiao Yao in the Yumen Pass still doesn't know anything.

Gu Dian later learned that Xiao Yao had made a secret fold, talked about the details in detail, and sighed.

"Xiao Yao, since you know about the details, it has something to do with the Yang family. It's hard to guarantee that the back is not the prince's order, you don't have real evidence, so if you break it like this, it is to startle the snake. ”

"Father, I also know that this is a bit reckless. However, as soon as I thought that there was collusion between these meticulous works and the Liao people, I was indignant. ”

Although Xiao Yao admitted his mistake, the dissatisfaction in his words was obvious.

Gu Dian sighed: "So you deliberately went up to warn His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is obsessed, the prince who colludes with foreign clans is not worthy of being the prince of the Great Zhou."

Xiao Yao insisted very much, in his opinion, the prince of a country can have all kinds of shortcomings, but once he colludes with foreign clans, it is a heinous crime.

In fact, when Gu Dian first came to the border pass, he didn't believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would have something to do with the Liao people.

It's just that there is more and more evidence that proves that the last time the Liao people attacked Yumen Pass, it was with the help of the old people of the Yang family. And the one who can instruct the old people of the Yang family to move can't be Yang Yong except for the prince.

Because of the Yang family, the Duke of Dingguo, who has been stationed at Yumen Pass for many years, and is full of loyalty, Yang Yong will never collude with the Liao people, open the Yumen Pass, and let the Liao people enter the customs.

If you look into it carefully, if something happens at Yumen Pass, if the herald arrives a day or two early. That Xiao Yao must have rushed back to Yumen Pass, and it is absolutely impossible to get married.

"Xiao Yao, the matter of establishing a prince is very important, don't say it again, unless you have evidence."

Xiao Yao was silent, he had been feeling it lately, and he had an uneasy intuition. The Liao people came to call for battle in three days, but as soon as the Great Zhou soldiers came out of the pass, they retreated.

This has come, it seems that he wants to lure Da Zhou to have a decisive battle with them.

Xiao Yao was anxious, and waited for the holy decree: Fengtian transported, the emperor said. Ordered the generalissimo Xiao Yao to lead the troops into battle and defeat the Liao people in one fell swoop. Chin this!

Gu Yuma watched Xiao Yao receive the holy decree and returned to the General's Mansion with him.

"Xiao Yao, what do you mean?"

"Father, it seems that the emperor still wants a big war as soon as possible."

Gu Dian was noncommittal, fighting a war is a super money-burning thing, and the household department has been suffering every year in the past two years. With the meaning of Emperor Hong Zheng, it is still a quick solution.

Although Xiao Yao did not approve of sending troops, he still had to obey the holy decree when it came. The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, not to mention just letting you send troops.

"Father, since the emperor has decreed, this war is inevitable. When the time comes, I will personally lead the army out of the customs and fight to the death with the Liao people, and everything in this Yumen Pass will be entrusted to my father. ”

Gu Dian disagreed, and refused: "I promised Mingzhu to take good care of you, so I will naturally follow you." As for Yumen Pass, whether it is handed over to Zhang Huai or Yang Chi, I believe there is no problem. ”

"Father, Zhang Huai is reckless and belligerent, and Yang Chi is also fierce. The two of them are in the pass, I don't feel at ease, in case something happens, only if you guard the Yumen Pass, I can rest assured when I go out of the customs to fight a decisive battle. ”

Gu Dian had no choice but to hand over the golden silk soft hedgehog armor he brought to Xiao Yao, hoping to protect his safety.

This battle was fought very smoothly, and the Liao people were defeated and retreated until they retreated to the Wuer River. That night, the two armies set up camp on both sides of the Ur River, preparing for a decisive battle tomorrow.

In the tent of the Liao king, the Empress Dowager Liao was discussing with the black-robed people.

"I have done what Mr. said, and I hope that Mr. will also fulfill his promise."

The black-robed man chuckled and said, "Don't worry, the Queen Mother, Xiao Yao will die tomorrow." When the time comes, Da Zhou will suddenly lose its commander, and it will inevitably collapse into an army, and the Queen Mother can take advantage of the victory to pursue. ”

"Then borrow the gentleman's good words."

The two raised their glasses and smiled at each other.

And Xiao Yao also summoned General Yang Chi and General Zhang Huai to discuss tomorrow's decisive battle.

"Now that the Liao people have been driven to the Wuer River by us, tomorrow must be the last battle. At that time, General Yang led 20,000 people on the left flank to block the back road of the Liao, and General Zhang led 20,000 people from the right flank to outflank him, targeting the royal tent where the Empress Dowager Liao was located. ”

Xiao Yao pointed to the map on the wall, and after carefully arranging it, he said, "As for me, I will bring 10,000 people to meet the enemy head-on." When the time comes, the soldiers will be divided into three ways and completely defeat the Liao. ”

Zhang Huai and Yang Chi, the two generals, received the order, and everyone discussed some details before they left the main account.

Xiao Yao didn't feel sleepy for a long time, got up in his clothes and came to the outside of the tent.

Before I knew it, it was a full moon night, and I didn't know when I would be able to see the pearl again. The next time you return to Beijing, you must bring the pearl to Yumen Pass.

When the time comes, the family of three will live a good life and stay away from the hustle and bustle of the court.

And Gu Fanghua, who is thousands of miles away in the capital, is also thinking about Xiao Yao.

Now that she is six months pregnant, her belly is already very large. Not only is the behavior bulky, but also prone to sweating and drowsiness.

Since the last time Yan Rongling inadvertently told her that she had leaked the news that the border pass was about to fight, she had been hanging in her heart.

When I woke up this morning, my eyelids jumped vigorously when I was still lying down. I used tea leaves and eggs, wrapped them in a handkerchief and rolled them for a while, but it still had no effect.

"Mama Cen, my eyelids are jumping, and my heart is panicking, can you see if something will happen?"

Mama Cen smiled and said, "Princess, you are pregnant, and it is inevitable that you will be in a trance. There will be nothing wrong, there is the Queen Mother. ”

Gu Fanghua still felt flustered and insisted on coming to Cining Palace.

"Grandmother, Xiao Yao and they have been chasing the Liao people for several days, is it the final battle?"
