I also walked out, but as soon as I walked out of the main hall, the eunuch caught up with me and told me to stay, saying that Your Majesty had summoned me.

I followed the eunuch and soon arrived at my master's study.

After the eunuch closed the door and went out, I was just about to see the emperor, but Yuan Zhen waved his hand at me, saying that we masters and apprentices don't need to be polite. I didn't squirm anything, I called out to the master as soon as I opened my mouth, Yuan Zhen responded, and suddenly began to cough without warning.

And seeing that the cough was not light, I quickly stepped forward and patted my master on the back.

I asked, "Master, are you alright?" ”

Yuan Zhen forcibly controlled it and said that he was fine.

I hadn't seen Yuan Zhen's body before, but after seeing it at this time, I also found that there was a heavy sense of tiredness between my eyebrows.

Yuan Zhen asked me to sit down and said that there was something to talk to me.

In fact, I also had some doubts in my heart, but before I could say it, Yuan Zhen expressed the doubts in my heart and said: "Zhang Yan, do you want to ask for the teacher, why did you arrange General Bai Qi and General Meng Yi, they don't have a body, right?" ”

I thought to myself that my master was still so powerful, and I said my thoughts as soon as I opened my mouth.

I hummed and said yes.

Yuan Zhen said to me: "You don't have to worry about this, their physical body, I have prepared, although it is not a real body, but it is enough to support a few months." ”

Yuan Zhen didn't elaborate on how the body is made, but there are many strange people in this world, and it is normal to be able to do this kind of thing.

Yuan Zhen spoke, coughed a few more times, and then said to me: "Zhang Yan, are you sure about this battle?" ”

In front of my master, of course I shook my head and said that I was not sure, after all, I didn't have a clear understanding of the strength of the Seventh Brother Princes, but I am not a novice, and I have accumulated a lot of experience when I fought in the East China Sea. Yuan Zhen didn't say much.

After a while, he said: "When this battle is over, I will give you the position for the division." ”

Yuan Zhen's tone was full of heaviness.

I then asked, "What about you, master?" ”

Yuan Zhen looked at me: "Master also has things to do, after you become the Son of Heaven, when the time comes, it will be of great help to you." ”

I wanted to say something, but Yuan Zhen said to me, "Go down." ”

I don't know why, at this time I also had an uncomfortable feeling in my heart, looking at my master, there was always a feeling of heroic twilight, I walked a few steps, and looked back at my master, the master turned his back to me, as if looking out the window.

I stopped and stood still, and Yuan Zhen's voice continued to come and say let's go.

I said okay, I quickened my pace and walked out, walked out of the study, walked out of the palace, walked a long way, walked forward, walked past the palace of the imperial historian, walked through the Zhang Mansion, and suddenly I didn't want to stop, I always felt a trace of trouble swirling in my head.

But in the end, I went backwards.

In life, there are some things that you don't think about or want to do, you can not do it, you can give up, and you have a responsibility that you must bear.

When I returned to Zhang's house, I saw a familiar face, and when he saw me, he bowed to me and called me to the lord.

I was stunned for a while, and I saw that it was Meng Yi in civilian clothes, Meng Yi was tall and handsome.

I said a polite word, and Meng Yi said to me: "Lord, I am here to ask you and General Bai Qi to go back to the barracks to discuss important matters. ”

I said to Meng Yi, you go first, General Bai Qi and I will come at night.

Meng Yi didn't say anything, the time quickly moved to the evening, and General Bai Qi's body was also sent, I invited Bai Qi out of the paperwork, General Bai Qi tried it, and quickly said, "It's very suitable." ”

I said a few words of congratulations to General Bai Qi, and General Bai Qi smiled, but very reluctantly.

It is normal for a general like Bai Qi to conquer the world and not be good at smiling.

We quickly set off towards the barracks, where all the soldiers along the way greeted us. When we arrived at the tent, there were many generals inside, and when they saw us coming, they bowed down one after another.

General Meng Yi also deliberately called General Bai Qi, but Bai Qi only responded lightly.

Then I began to look at the map, the princes of the seven places, namely: Qi Chuyan, Zhao Wei, Han Yue, and the princes of the seven places. Among them, Qi is the strongest, claiming to have an army of 200,000, which can be said to be self-respecting.

And they also formed a coalition army, which also claimed to be 300,000.

And it has been reached, the borders of the empire, menacing, as if to step through the walls of the empire. We were also given a deadline for the last three days, and after three days, if Hu Su was not released, troops would be sent.

The first imperial town to bear the brunt this time was Liaodong Town, and their advance force had already arrived.

Meng Yi opened his mouth to introduce us to the current situation, I interjected and asked, how long will it take for us to get from here to Liaodong Town, and Meng Yi said to me: "It will take ten days at the earliest." ”

I hummed and asked, "How long can the army in Liaodong hold out?" ”

"It won't be more than three days."

Liaodong Town is the fortress of the empire, if it is old, it is all the way to the flat ground, with a wide field of vision, and the alliance of the seven places can drive straight into it for a long time, and it is unstoppable.

I stared at the map and couldn't think of a way to do it for a moment.

At this time, Bai Qi, who was silent, suddenly spoke: "I remember if there is a small county town in this place, surrounded by mountains, located in the middle of flat land, connected to Liaodong Town, and up to welcome another important town of the Empire, Xuanhe Pass." ”

Meng Yi looked at it and said yes.

Bai Qi continued: "Lord, the last general suggested that 30,000 troops be sent to garrison here first. ”

I said okay, without further ado, let's go.

Now that time was pressed and there was no time to delay, General Meng Yi quickly went out and commanded the army to set off. We are not far behind. The march is particular, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first.

I asked Meng Yi to travel lightly and quickly rushed to the designated place as General Bai Qi said.

On the third day of the march, spies reported that the coalition forces had launched an attack, and Liaodong Town did not survive a day.

I was stunned for a few seconds, and Meng Yi also said that I could hold on for three days, but I didn't last a day. According to General Meng Yi's speed, travel lightly, it should be a day at most, and you can get there.

It was only on the fourth day that news came that the coalition forces of the Seven Lands were scattered and attacked from all sides, and several important towns were broken one after another, and now it is equivalent to tearing four openings in a fortified castle house, and they are on the left and right.

I couldn't help but say to Bai Qi: "Are the border guards of the empire so vulnerable?" ”

Bai Qi said: "They have not fought for many years, and the empire has long been at ease under the protection of the princes of the Seven Lands, so they may have wasted their training. But now, too, the forces they had concentrated were quickly dispersed. ”

I hummed.

On the fifth day of the march, he reported that General Meng Yi had successfully repelled a wave of coalition forces by holding the small county town.

The morale was instantly boosted, and I asked Bai Qijianjun, "Do you want to divide your army to intercept the rest of the coalition forces?" ”

Bai Qi unfolded the map, looked at it, and said no. It is only necessary to send 50,000 men to defend the river, and if they want to fight, they must cross this river, and I believe they think the same way, and when the time comes, they will converge here and break through the most solid fortress of the empire in one fell swoop.

As Bai Qi spoke, he ordered a general to bring people over, in terms of marching and fighting, of course, I don't have as much experience as General Bai Qi, and the situation here is not comparable to the east, west, north and south seas, and it is relatively more complicated here.

It was not until the sixth or seventh day that the spies kept reporting that cities were constantly being captured, but Meng Yi was still very strong, and he fought several waves of counteroffensive battles.

They are divided into four routes, and the three routes may converge to the river at that time, but this way, I am afraid it will be difficult.

Because on the eighth day, we arrived at the county seat where Meng Yi was located, and at this time, the county seat had been tossed and turned into a shape, and it was pitch black outside the city wall, as if it had been scorched by a fire. The corpses outside the walls were piling up in a mountain, and the inside of the walls was about the same.

They were fighting at the time, and when they saw us coming, they immediately opened the gates and counterattacked.

Bai Qi bore the brunt of the attack, this wave, they kept retreating, and the opposite lord shouted to retreat, but he was still killed by thousands of people. Bai Qi did not withdraw his troops, but attacked the city all the way and hit Liaodong Town.
