Chapter 662: Farewell
"Peony didn't come looking for me in the first place, which means that she has betrayed me. Although I didn't see them as subordinates, she couldn't say goodbye without saying goodbye. You can go to her and save her, but don't bring her back to Guiyue Palace. Twilight's face dropped a little, and she said lightly.
Originally, Ning Yue should have coaxed Twilight Snow well, maybe if she said a few soft words, Twilight Snow would laugh again. But Ning Yue didn't, but stared at the earrings in front of her again silently.
The next day, Duan Hai said goodbye and left. After Duan Hai left, Ning Yue also simply put away some things and set off in a package. Walking out of Guiyue Palace, Ning Yue once again looked back at Qianduxue's beautiful face.
"How long are you going?" asked Twilight lightly, though she was so reluctant, but Twilight didn't show a hint of retention. Because she knew that if she didn't find the peony, Ning Yue might not be able to let go of it for the rest of her life.
"A month at most, Twilight, are you really unwilling to go with me?" Ning Yue was puzzled, even if Peony didn't die and chose to leave, Ning Yue's understanding of Twilight Snow would not become repulsive. Moreover, among the four maids of Twilight Snow, she and Peony have been together the longest and have the deepest relationship.
"The concubine is a little uncomfortable, so let's go alone. With Fujun's peerless martial arts, if it weren't for the Tianzun of the grassland, there should be no danger. The Prairie Heavenly Venerable was ordered by the Immortal Heavenly Palace, and the Immortal Heavenly Palace was ordered by the Holy Maiden. The saint does not come out, and the heavenly dignity is not visible. The husband is going, and he will come back early. ”
"I see, you have to take care of yourself. Ning Yue said softly, her figure flashed, and the person had disappeared.
The capital, the imperial palace, the imperial study.
Mo Wuxian sat behind the desk and gently put down the fold, slowly raised his head to look at Sima Jingming and Gongziyu in front of him, the smile on his face bloomed slightly, and he nodded with satisfaction.
"Zhongzhou, the military and political reform of Lizhou has been completed, all the defenders have been smoothly dismantled, and the forbidden army has been successfully replaced. Your actions are very fast, and I can't imagine that I have already completed my request in just half a year, and I am very satisfied. ”
"It is the duty of the old minister to share the emperor's worries. Moreover, the defenders of Shuzhou have already been abolished, and the defenders of Liangzhou have already been canceled because of the rebellion of the Night Demon Army a year ago. In fact, the Great Zhou Dynasty only left Huangzhou, Xuanzhou, Jingzhou, Jiangzhou, and Yingzhou, and the military formation reform of the five states has not yet been carried out. The old minister thought that by the end of this year, we could complete all the military and political reforms. ”
"That's very good!" Mo Wuxian nodded lightly, and turned his eyes to look at Gongzi Yu on the side, "Gongzi Yu, the forbidden army has a great responsibility now, in addition to replacing the defenders in Kyushu, they are also responsible for the guard duties of Liangzhou, do you have a detailed plan?"
Gongzi Yu immediately stood up and bowed respectfully to Mo Wuxian, "Your Majesty, the forbidden army guarding Kyushu naturally has no pressure, and the original training of the forbidden army was also designed for this purpose. But...... Liangzhou is not very suitable. ”
"Oh?" Seeing that Gongzi Yu was a little hesitant, Mo Wuxian smiled faintly, "Don't be too branched, just say it." ”
"Yes!" Gongzi Yu's eyes flashed a trace of hesitation, and finally raised his head calmly, "The forbidden army guarding Liangzhou is naturally not a problem, but when it comes to deterring the grassland Hulu and making them dare not cross the border, the forbidden army is slightly insufficient."
Most of the forbidden troops were infantry, cooperating with artillery to defend them, and changing battle formations in various complex terrains at will. However, the grassland Hulu are all cavalry, and the terrain of the grassland is only suitable for cavalry galloping. Therefore, in order to defend Liangzhou, it is still necessary to have enough cavalry to cooperate with the Phoenix Army in Xuanzhou to rely on each other at an angle. ”
"Ahh However, the rebellion of the Night Demon Army caused the first cavalry of our Great Zhou to be wiped out, and Liangzhou needs cavalry, and I hope that more cavalry can level the grassland in the future. But what ...... Time is not waiting for me. ”
It's not that Mo Wuxian is hypocritical, the Great Zhou Dynasty has been lacking cavalry since the founding of the country. There were no horses, and there were not enough conditions to train strong cavalry capable of fighting well.
The steppe Hulu was born on horseback, and began to ride horses almost in the womb. In terms of the quality of the cavalry, the grassland Hulu threw off a large part of the Great Zhou army.
But the reason why the Daredevil Army and the Phoenix Army were able to kill the grassland Hulu was also because these two cavalry were created by special opportunities. Then it grows and grows, allowing all new fighters to make a leap forward in a very fast time in the way of inheritance.
But if you want to create a cavalry that can be compared to the Daredevil Army Phoenix Army from scratch, it is probably no longer possible to have the right time and place. As one of the most important gateways to Kyushu, Liangzhou must be guarded by cavalry with sufficient deterrence. This is an unavoidable problem that must be faced.
"Your Majesty, in fact, there is another way to make the Liangzhou border immediately have a strong cavalry. Your Majesty, I beg the Emperor to give the Daredevil Army a chance to mend their ways......"
Suddenly, Mo Wuxian's face became gloomy. The essence in his eyes flickered, and he stared coldly at Gongzi Yu for a long time. In the face of Mo Wuxian's coercion, Gongziyu also turned blue.
Mo Wuxian is a martial arts master, and Gongzi Yucai is only in the innate realm. was watched by Mo Wuxian like this, and ordinary people would have already collapsed. However, although Gongzi Yu's face was pale, he was still persistent, staring at Mo Wuxian without dodging.
"The Daredevil Army is a rebel army, and I have managed to disrupt and reorganize these 100,000 Daredevil Army, and you want to assemble them again to restore their names? How does this make the officers and men of the whole army view the imperial court? How does this make the people of the world view me?"
"Your Majesty, the Daredevil Army has become a rebel, but the Emperor can set up a new army. Although he is still a member of the Daredevil Army, he can appear as a new army. As long as the military department keeps it secret, no one will know that they are actually the Daredevil Army.
Moreover, with the Daredevil Army's usual style, if they hadn't really wanted to mend their ways, they wouldn't have chosen to surrender in the first place. Since they chose to surrender, the minister believed that they must be waiting for a chance to serve the dynasty and prove their allegiance. I beg the emperor to give them a chance. ”
Gongzi Yu said, kneeling respectfully on the ground, his forehead pressed hard against the stone slab and made a crisp sound.
Mo Wuxian stood up gently, slowly walked across the desk and paced back and forth, "Gongziyu, you tell me honestly, why do you have to work so hard to intercede for the Night Demon Army?
"Your Majesty, last year, when the Emperor learned that the Night Demon Army had rebelled, how heartbroken he was? Even if Luo Tiancheng had already rebelled, the Emperor was still willing to give the Night Demon Army a chance to turn back.
In fact, in the bottom of Gongziyu's heart, the same is true. The Daredevil Army is the most elite army of our Great Zhou, and it is the signboard of our military headquarters to the world. The emperor may not know how heartbroken the fire in the capital city burns the ministers.
Luo Tiancheng cursed the minister to the sky, but in fact, the minister was also cursing himself. However, that fireman must be released. Because the minister must be responsible to the emperor and the court. However, the Night Demon Army is still the Night Demon Army, and the 100,000 surrendered troops are all good sons of my Great Zhou.
Carrying the shame on their backs will never see the light of day, which is their sorrow and the loss of the imperial court. The minister dares to guarantee that as long as the emperor shows a little bit to give the Daredevil Army a chance to mend their ways, the Daredevil Army will definitely be grateful to Dade and will definitely cherish the opportunity to fight bravely for the emperor......"
"But...... What if the word revenge is in their hearts?" Mo Wuxian said a word, as if a giant hammer was hitting Gongzi Yu's chest.
"The emperor can behead my Gongzi Yu!" Gongzi Yu's voice suddenly sounded.
"Bastard, behead you, what are you going to do with Changle?" Mo Wuxian scolded. As soon as the words landed, Mo Wuxian's brows suddenly furrowed, "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, the King of Lantian County is here to ask for a ...... of the Holy Saint" A sharp voice sounded from outside the door.
"Ning Yue, isn't he happy with Qianduxue in Guiyue Palace, and he didn't even come to the banquet at the end of the year, why did he come here just after the beginning of spring? Could it be that something happened? You invited him over. ”
The eunuch left, and only a short moment later, Ning Yue's footsteps sounded outside the door, "Chen Ning Yue sees the emperor's ......"
"Come in!" The imperial study was opened, and Ning Yue was stunned when she looked at the scene in front of her.
"Your Majesty, what is this?"
No wonder Ning Yue was puzzled, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, ordinary courtiers met the emperor in person, unless there would be a bow at the Great Dynasty meeting, and the rest of the time was just a bow.
And there are only two kinds of people who need to kneel on the ground to salute, one is the emperor's servants, such as palace maids and eunuchs, or they are guilty pleas. But Gongzi Yu in front of him is Mo Wuxian's most important courtier, and he has just made a great contribution, plus at the end of the year, Gongzi Yu asked Mo Wuxian for permission to marry, so he can't make this scene.
"Ning Yue, you came just in time, Gongzi Yu asked for the Night Demon Army to guard Liangzhou to deter the grassland Hulu. What do you think?" Mo Wuxian looked at Ning Yue with a smile, he knew that Ning Yue often had wonderful ideas, and he could often say them. Ning Yue's thoughts are also a big measure for Mo Wuxian.
"Just 100,000 Night Demon Army?" Ning Yue asked with a frown, puzzled.
"Of course not, the 150,000 forbidden army will guard Liangzhou, and then cooperate with the 100,000 night demon army to deter the grassland. Gongziyu hurriedly said.
"That's a good thing, in this way, there is a forbidden army to defend the city, and there is a night demon army to attack, and the division of labor is clear and complementary......" Ning Yue said very casually.
"Ning Yue, aren't you worried that the Night Demon Army has a grudge against the imperial court? I just broke them up and reorganized them for fear that they would cause trouble again. I don't want to take any more risks, and the court can't either. Mo Wuxian asked with a flickering look in his eyes.
"This one...... Ning Yue stretched out her finger and scratched her chin, "The 100,000 Night Demon Army is actually not necessary to integrate all of them to defend Liangzhou, just assemble half of them, and the 50,000 Night Demon Army is enough to deal with the attack on the grassland." If the Daredevil Army behaves well, then the remaining 50,000 people can also return one after another. ”
"Then what if the Daredevil Army's thief heart doesn't die?" Mo Wuxian asked with a squint.
"That's the crime of sitting, the remaining 50,000 Night Demon Army, behead! As for the 50,000 in Liangzhou...... It's not too difficult to deal with in front of the 150,000 forbidden army, right?"
