"I know that all Aiqing has little confidence in this battle. ”

Zhao Lin saw the changes in the faces of the ministers, and immediately said loudly: "So, I am ready to drive the imperial expedition and go to the front line of Jingxiang!"

"What, Imperial Driver?"

At this moment, all the civil and military officials were stunned, and looked at Zhao Lin with some incredulity.

His Majesty the Emperor actually plans to go to the front in person?

What a dangerous place it is!

"Your Majesty!"

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu immediately admonished: "Your Majesty is the body of ten thousand gold, which is related to the safety of the country's society, and now the prince is undecided, if Your Majesty has any mistakes, my Great Song Dynasty is in danger!"

"The Ministry of Rites is right,"

An old imperial historian walked out, and said in the same earnest words: "Your Majesty can't be in danger, please think twice!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Most of the courtiers knelt down one after another and said in unison.

But Zhao Lin's thoughts did not waver.

He just smiled, shook his head and said, "I have made up my mind, don't persuade you Aiqing anymore." ”

"Besides, the Flame Emperor Yuwen Lie can drive the expedition in person, why can't I drive the expedition in person? Isn't I, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, inferior to the Emperor of Flame?"

"If this battle is lost, the Great Song Dynasty will fall, and even if I live, I will be the king of the country. ”

"I will return triumphantly this time, and all Aiqing will wait for my good news in the capital!"

Zhao Lin's words fell, and the court was also quiet.

The ministers all knew that Zhao Lin was arbitrary, and he was full of words, and no matter how much he persuaded him, it was difficult to change His Majesty's mind.

Moreover, there is some truth in what His Majesty said.

The personal expedition of the imperial driver can improve the morale of the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty and have a great impact on the battle situation.

And Zhao Lin's eyes were looking outside the hall, and his decision to drive the expedition this time was not for the sake of prestige, but because of his considerations.

The Great Elder of the Demon Dao died at the hands of the Flame Spirit Ji.

Yu Wenlie must have been furious.

The army of fire will not retreat, so what the army of the Great Song Dynasty is about to face must be a stormy offensive.

Zhao Lin is worried that Yang Meng may not be able to resist the pressure.

That's when I decided to do it myself.

Personally fight a battle of national fortune with Yu Wenlie!

The army of fire, in the tent.

"Damn! The Great Elder of the Demon Dao is actually dead?!"

Yu Wenlie was furious and smashed the table in front of him into pieces.

He really couldn't imagine that a dignified three-grade grand master had never returned, and died in the military camp of the Great Song Dynasty!

Those who can kill the Great Elder of the Demon Aspect Dao are only the powerhouses above the third-rank Grand Master!

There are not many such strong people in the whole world!

And there happened to be one next to Yang Meng?

How could there be such a coincidence?

"I understand, this is all the trick of the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

After a period of smashing, Yu Wenlie finally came to his senses.

Zhao Lin calculated that he would attack Yang Meng!

Or is it simply that even the appointment of Yang Meng as the governor was a bait set by Zhao Lin?

Yu Wenlie's pupils shrank, and his face became a little ugly.

If this is the case, then isn't he completely calculated by the other party?

As soon as he thought of this, Yu Wenlie's heart became more and more angry.

"Your Majesty is angry,"

At this time, that Liu Mengyao walked over and patted Yu Wenlie's back gently, "Although we have lost the Great Elder of the Demon Aspect Dao, this is not necessarily a bad thing for us. ”

"Isn't it a bad thing to lose a third-grade grand master?"

Yu Wenlie frowned, feeling ridiculous at Liu Mengyao's words.

"Your Majesty, think about it, Great Elder of the Demon Dao, why would he help Your Majesty?"

Liu Mengyao looked at Yu Wenlie with a smile.

"He wants to avenge his apprentice, who is my national teacher of fire. ”

Yu Wenlie said without thinking.

"Yes, because of hatred,"

Liu Mengyao shook her head, and immediately the corners of her mouth lifted an arc, "Then what if Your Majesty passes the news of the fall of the Great Elder of the Demon Dao to the people of the Demon Dao?"

"The people of the Six Realms of the Demon Gate will be avenged, let alone the death of a great elder,"

Yu Wenlie's eyes lit up suddenly, and then a cold smile suddenly appeared on his face, "The Demon Dao will definitely retaliate wildly, as long as I guide me a little, they will definitely send a master to join forces with me." ”

"Your Majesty is wise. ”

Liu Mengyao smiled, "The concubine just received the news that the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty has personally rushed to the Jingxiang front line to confront our fire army. ”

"Since he's here, we can't let him go. ”

Hearing this, Yu Wenlie nodded, and said with a sharp look in his eyes: "Don't worry, the queen, I will definitely make this Xiangyang City the tomb of the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!"

......

Great Song Dynasty, Xiangyang City.

Inside the big tent, Yang Meng was studying the sand table map, and he was a little anxious.

The Flame Empire's recent offensive has become more and more intense.

led to a surge in the number of wounded soldiers in his battalion.

If it goes on like this, the situation is not good.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

At that moment, a duck-like voice rang out.

Yang Meng looked shocked and immediately stopped what he was doing.

"See Your Majesty. ”

He immediately turned around and bowed to the comer.

At this time, behind Zhao Lin, Cao Zhengchun and the Dongfang Sect Leader were following.

Although he had already received the will of His Majesty the Emperor.

But I didn't expect His Majesty to come so quickly.

"No courtesy. ”

Zhao Lin waved his hand and said with a smile: "Aiqing has been fighting against the enemy army for days, and it has been hard. ”

"This is a matter for the ministers. ”

Yang Meng hurriedly surrendered his hand, "It's just a bloody battle for days, but it hasn't been able to defeat the Flame Army, Weichen is very ashamed." ”

"The enemy is outnumbered, and it is not easy to be able to hold on undefeated. ”

Zhao Lin did not blame Yang Meng.

After all, although Yang Meng is a military wizard, his opponent is the Fire Emperor Yu Wenlie, and it is not easy to win more with less.

"Yang Meng, how many soldiers are there under your hands right now?"

Zhao Lin sat down in this handsome tent, looked at Yang Meng, and asked.

"About fifty thousand. ”

Zhao Lin only groaned slightly, and then replied.

In the past few days, troops from other places have arrived one after another, replenishing them, and the number of troops has exceeded 100,000.

However, although there are now more than 100,000 troops gathered in this Xiangyang City, excluding the wounded soldiers and the naval army, it is probably only 50,000.

Wounded soldiers need to rest.

The navy is limited by the terrain and is mostly used for defense, and the land war has little effect.

The number of combatable soldiers that can be mobilized is only about 50,000.

"An army of 50,000 can be worthy of a battle. ”

Zhao Lin's face showed a thoughtful look.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will do his best to stick to the battle line and not let the Agni army cross the thunder pool by half a step!"

Yang Meng's words were sonorous and powerful.

"No,"

Zhao Lin shook his index finger, "Sticking to it is never the best policy, even if you can win in the end, it will be a miserable victory." ”

"And what does Your Majesty mean?"

Yang Meng's eyes were slightly startled.

"Take the initiative to attack and cut off the enemy's food and grass!"

Zhao Lin walked to the sand table and pointed to a camp on the map, "According to Dongchang's secret report, this white wolf village is the place where the army of the Fire Empire is stored, and a large amount of grain and grass is piled up in it. ”

"If you can break through the White Wolf Village and burn all the grain, grass and baggage in it, the army of flames will inevitably be in chaos and collapse without a fight. ”

Before Zhao Lin came, he had done his homework, and he already knew a lot about the situation of the Fire Army.
