In September 974, I returned to the palace from the Song Dynasty alone, Li Yu was discussing in the Chengqian Palace, the prince said that the current situation in the court is not optimistic, the emperor has not had a good rest for a long time, and the front line also sent a war report early this morning, saying that Zhao Kuangyin gathered 100,000 troops and was preparing to go south in three ways.

Although the harem has not been involved in politics since ancient times, but now that the country is ruined and the family is ruined, I can't care about this much, so I go straight to the council hall......

"The emperor wants to fight?" I spoke slowly.

"Fight." Li Yu looked up at me for a long time before he replied to me with a firm look in his eyes.

"Now tens of thousands of soldiers on the East Road are going north from Hangzhou, King Wu Yue is involved, and the supervising army is the Song general Ding Deyu. The middle road is the 100,000 naval army of Cao Bin and Pan Mei, which marches eastward along the Yangtze River from Tangling. Finally, the west road, deployed by Zhan Zhuodu, with a small number of people, is mainly responsible for containing the Tang army and ensuring the eastward advance of the main army on the middle road...... "I marked the marching routes of the Northern Song Dynasty one by one on the map.

"The queen has just returned, how did she know this?"

How to know? I wouldn't say that I knew this from my past life.

"It doesn't matter how we know, what matters is how we stop the Song soldiers from advancing eastward."

"We can rely on the Yangtze River ......"

"Nope." It's the Yangtze River natural danger again, I shook my head, in his previous life, Li Yu relied too much on the Yangtze River natural insurance, which led to the defeat of the Tang Kingdom. "Since the Song Kingdom dares to send troops, it naturally shows that they will not take natural risks into account, and they must have been prepared for this in advance.

'What is the queen's plan?' The general who was on the side asked.

"The first woman of this palace naturally doesn't understand the truth of marching and fighting, but because of this, we can have a surprise victory, I want to ask the generals, in terms of the current deployment, which is the least important point for the Song army?"

"The least important point should be the West Road, according to our spies, the West Road should have less than 10,000 troops."

"Then we will attack from the west road, as long as we can successfully disrupt the march plan of the west road, then the main force of the middle road will naturally be disrupted."

"How many layers of certainty does the mother have?"

"I'm not sure, but we don't have a choice, Song Guo is good at fighting, we can't ...... hard steel with them"

"Just listen to the Queen." Li Yu whispered.

Next, we carefully calculated the various marching distances of the Song army, and after formulating a military plan, we issued the holy decree.

"It's me, that's not right." After everyone dispersed, Li Yu put his arms around me and said this.

I looked at Li Yu next to me, and there was a slight gray hair between my temples, and in the blink of an eye, I had passed more than ten years with him!

The emperor laughed. You are the emperor, whether you are wrong or not, you can't say that you are wrong. ”

"Joy is something I've thought about less......" I put my hand on Li Yu's lips and shook my head to stop him from continuing.

"Rest first, there are still many things waiting for the emperor to worry about."

After serving Li Yu to sleep, I couldn't sleep at all, I thought I could change something, but now it seems that everything has been going on according to the original track, no matter how hard I try, I will return to the original point in the end, is the destruction of the Tang Kingdom really inevitable?

Early the next morning, I went to the Jiaofang Hall to see Jiang Zhizhi and told her that General Hu had died and disappeared by the way, and presented a jade pendant, which could be regarded as leaving some thoughts for Jiang Zhizhi, which was found in the package that Zhao Guangyi gave me. I still remember that Hu Bo told me on the road that this was a gift from Jiang Zhi before entering the palace, and he had been carrying it with him for many years.

Originally, according to Jiang Zhi's character, she would definitely make a big fuss, but this time she just took the things and went back to the room, without a trace of emotion throughout the whole process, which was calm and distressing. At this time, I suddenly remembered that she had a straightforward personality when she first entered the palace, and she disappeared when she wanted to laugh and make trouble, it seems that all these years in the palace have smoothed out her edges and corners after all!

I took the little barbarian to the backyard of the Jiaofang Palace, I still remember when I was fourteen years old, it was also in this courtyard, Hu Bo saved my life, and now more than ten years have passed, Concubine Shu is gone, Qiu Xiang is gone, and he is also gone......

At the beginning of October, a battle report came from the front, and the Song army abandoned the west road, directly rerouted and successfully passed the Yangtze River, and will soon arrive at the Tang army's garrison.

Li Yu was worried, unable to sleep at night, and the holy decrees were handed out one by one.

However, within a month, the quarrying, Qinhuai River, and Anhui mouth still fought one after another, and the Tang army was still defeated after trying its best to resist, and the elite troops led by Jiang Da were completely lost in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.

In March 975, the Song army finally approached the city of Jinling, led by Zhao Guangyi.

I know that the fortunes of the country cannot be turned around, so I secretly took Li Xiaoxiao out of the palace to take a look at the joy, she seems to be fatter than when she was in the palace, and standing with Sandalwood really looks like a mother and daughter.

It's good, I should have sent Qiu Xiang out earlier, at least I wouldn't have lost my life in vain, but it's too late to say anything now......

"Let's go to Shang Gongzi's." Before returning to the palace, I suddenly changed my mind and wanted to see my sister, maybe I really didn't have a chance to see each other again this time.

"The emperor's side......" Li Xiaoxiao looked at me in embarrassment, I knew what he was worried about, I only took him out of the palace this time, and I was really afraid of accidents if I stayed longer.

"It's okay, I'll just leave."

"The minions obey."

When I arrived, Shang Wenzheng was playing chess with a masked woman in the courtyard, and although she didn't show her face, I was still sure at a glance that the masked woman was my sister Empress E. I asked Li Xiaoxiao to stay in the carriage and walked to the courtyard by myself.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, I wonder if my sister is okay?"

"Min'er?" The moment I looked up and saw me, my sister and Shang Wenleng were stunned for a long time.

"How did Min'er know we were here?" In the end, it was my sister who opened her mouth first.

"I knew it years ago!"

"Then why ......"

"I just don't want to bother you."

"Min'er ......"

"It's okay, I just missed you today......"

Later, I found out that my sister had already disfigured herself when she left the temple in order to be with Shangwen, and now although her life is not as good as in the palace, the two of them are also in love together.

"It's time for me to go back......"

"Min'er ......"

"Sister, don't send it, this time I was secretly out of the palace, and when I have time in the future, my sister can go to see Xile more on behalf of Min'er......" I told my sister about sending Xile out of the palace, and left an address.

"Yes, Min'er too, take care of yourself, and come and see when you have time."

"Hmm."

We all tacitly agreed not to talk about state affairs, in fact, we all knew in our hearts that the Tang Kingdom could not hold on, and this may become the last time we met......
