Feng Yingguo.

Palace of Dawn.

Si Ba directly brought back the news that the Fengying Kingdom army was forced to retreat to Liangcheng after a night attack in Lucheng, and reported it to Chenguang.

Chenguang held her cheek with one hand, and she was very annoyed at this time. In order to raise military rations, Feng Yingguo's grain depot was almost empty, and she had no way to raise military rations anymore, even if she had money, there was no food to buy. There is only a little bit of old grain left in the country, these are to deal with the famine that may occur in the country, once these are sent out, the people of Feng Ying Kingdom will starve, and the people will starve It is pointless for her to go to fight Long Xi Kingdom, and it will shake the morale of the army.

She was angry, staring at the porcelain cup in front of her, and wanted to grab it and throw it off, but then she thought that this was her favorite cup, and it would be very desolate if it was broken and there was no silver to make a new one.

She withdrew her gaze curtly and straightened up.

Gu Yao, Luo Song, Gao Chiliu, Zhang Hong and other civil and military ministers knelt on both sides of the Feng case, contemplating their eyebrows.

No one can come up with a good idea, the current army of the Feng Ming Kingdom is in a dilemma, if they can't fight it, if they retreat, the army of the Long Xi Kingdom will follow in, and they can only lose the country at that time.

Zhang Hong hung his head and sighed in his heart, without the Nanyue Emperor who would only flatter the Chiyang Kingdom, although the Feng Lord was a woman, he was still wise, although he was occasionally too fierce, he could be regarded as a Ming Lord. I thought that with the right master, the South Vietnamese people could live a good life from now on, but this good day has just emerged, and in a blink of an eye, is it going to die again? What kind of luck was he? Could it be that the fortunes of the country are in conflict with him?

Chenguang clasped her arms in her hands, tilted her head, closed her eyes and pondered, and people who had never seen her thought she was asleep.

She maintained this position until her shoulders went numb, and she still couldn't come up with a good idea. She frowned, stood up, walked to the stand with the map of the Five Kingdoms, folded her arms, tilted her head, and stared.

At first she didn't look at it, because her head was blank, but suddenly, she raised her eyes, and the light fell on a certain point on the map, and her hand rested on the map, as if she was measuring the measurements.

She raised her eyes for a while to see where the Cangqiu Kingdom and the Chiyang Kingdom were fighting in the southeast, and then looked at the south again, and after a few back and forth, she suddenly opened her mouth and asked:

"Gao Chiliu, how many defenders are left in Hanjing?"

Gao Chiliu was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Back to Your Highness, there are 5,000 guards in the palace, and there are 10,000 defenders guarding the city outside the palace, a total of 15,000 people." ”

At present, only Hanjing still has defenders to defend the imperial capital, a small number of defenders to guard the fortress, and all other armies have been dispatched to the front line.

Chenguang stared at the map of the five countries for a moment, then spoke, and commanded in a soft voice:

"Si Ba, you go to Liangcheng again, tell Si Qian, withdraw 20,000 people, and hold Liangcheng for three months."

"Yes." Si Ba didn't doubt it, answered, and turned around.

Chenguang turned from the map, glanced at the faces of several close ministers, and said:

"Zhang Hong, Gao Chiliu, get ready, gather 15,000 people from Hanjing, and wait for 20,000 people in Liangcheng to fight with me!"

The ministers were shocked.

Takaikeliu stood up unconsciously, opened his eyes wide, and asked in surprise:

"Your Highness, where are you going to fight?"

Chenguang put his hand on the map beside him, slapped it hard, and everyone looked at the position of her palm, above her fingers, the target was directly aimed at Licheng in the territory of Chiyang Kingdom.

Zhang Hong has rich experience, and because the original Nanyue Kingdom has always been dependent on the Chiyang Kingdom, he is very familiar with the land in the Chiyang Kingdom, especially the places adjacent to the border between the Nanyue Kingdom and the Chiyang Kingdom.

The climate of Chiyang is suitable, the soil is fertile, the rain is abundant, crops can grow all year round, in this land, the products are abundant, and the grain output has always ranked first among the five countries, and some people even say that "Chiyang is a granary everywhere".

Licheng of Chenguang's finger is only half a month's journey away from the fast horse on the border of Feng Yingguo, although it is a small city, it has beautiful scenery and sufficient products, and it is a land of fish and rice. Although it can't be compared with the main cities of Chiyang Kingdom, because there are too many such small cities, Licheng and its surroundings are tantamount to a timely rain for Feng Ming Kingdom.

"Your Highness, by all means!" Zhang Honghuo stood up, his face solemn, and hurriedly dissuaded, "At this time, you must not offend the Chiyang Kingdom!" ”

"Why can't you offend him? I don't like him again. Chenguang said disapprovingly.

Zhang Hong is getting older, and he is about to be laughed at by her, and this is not a question of liking it or not:

"Your Highness, now that the Feng Ming Kingdom is in a predicament and in danger, if you offend the Chiyang Kingdom again at this time, once the Chiyang Kingdom sends troops to conscript, at that time, the Feng Ying Kingdom will be really angry!"

"First of all, although Licheng is rich, it is only a small border city, Feng Ming is poor and white, although Emperor Chiyang hates me these years, he has never increased his troops to the border pass, and it is the same as when the original Nanyue Emperor was alive, except for those who guard the border, there are few people who can really fight when they go inside. The main army of the Chiyang Kingdom is in the east of Wenshan Ridge, I just went to grab some food, no different from what the bandits do, I don't attack his fortress, I don't occupy a city or county of him, and I don't rob much, he can't afford to send troops to fight me at the juncture of the war with Cangqiu Country. Chiyang Kingdom is losing the battle, and he can't distinguish the spirit to ignore me, even if he wants to pursue it, it will be after he wins.

Besides, now everyone knows that the Feng Ming Kingdom is fighting with the Long Xi Kingdom, and thinks that the Feng Ming Kingdom is pouring all its forces into the Long Xi Kingdom, and it is easier to raid the Chiyang Kingdom to grab food at this time, and it can be resolved quickly, and the Chiyang Kingdom will not be prepared. ”

"These are just speculations of His Highness, Emperor Chiyang has a small belly and chicken intestines, and now he has suffered a defeat in Cangqiu Country, this time to anger him, in case he is angry with His Highness, he will really send troops all the way to crusade against him......"

"I can't afford this kind of risk, what else do I do, so why don't you go home, I'll go back to Phoenix Palace, and burn Hanjing together!" The morning light interrupted Zhang Hong's words, and abandoned the softness, and his voice was cold, like a cold spring in the wax moon.

Her gaze was clean, but cold, dark and sharp like a falcon.

Zhang Hong was stared at by her like this, and he couldn't say a word.

But he also had to admit that when she said "I can't afford this kind of risk, what else can I do", he suddenly wanted to follow her.

Gao Chiliu suddenly knelt down and said solemnly: "The minister has orders!" ”

Zhang Hong hesitated for a moment, then knelt down and responded: "The old minister takes the order!" ”

"During the time I left Beijing, the court affairs were still managed by Gu Yao and Luo Song, and Si Shi stayed in the Phoenix Palace, and the affairs in the palace were handled by her."

Si Shi bent his knees, indicating that he had received his order.

Gu Yao and Luo Song knelt down and responded in unison: "The minister's order!" ”
