The cold wind whistled across the Great Wall of the border, and the guards on duty trembled unconsciously.

Although spring will soon begin, but the border Great Wall is close to Xuanmang, and the temperature after the beginning of spring is much lower than that of the mainland.

Although the Great Wall of the border is close to the land of Xuanmang, in fact, there is a buffer zone of nearly 100 miles between the two places, which is a plain grassland, in this buffer zone, the light cavalry scouts and small guards on both sides always kill you to death, and it is common for a light cavalry scout of dozens of people to be wiped out.

Because of the topography and other reasons, almost all the first-class horses in the world come from the land of Xuanmang, and since the unification of Xuanmang completely cut off business with the interior of the Central Plains, such horses will no longer flow into Xuanzhi.

This also led to the congenital insufficiency of the mounts of the Xuanzhi cavalry, which could not compare to the Xuanmang Continent, which was full of natural pastures.

Just when the entire Great Wall of the Frontier was as calm as ever, the sound of several hurried horses' hooves and shouts quietly broke the tacit silence.

"I'm Qin Mo, the deputy captain of the 10th Scout Team of the 5th Regiment of the Congyun Cavalry! The military situation is urgent! 100,000 is urgent! I want to meet General Chen!"

After the identity of the visitor was verified, the gate of the Great Wall rose violently to open up enough height for people and horses, and after several light horsemen entered, it slowly fell.

After rushing into the Great Wall, the man went straight to the first border city newly built in the fifteenth year of Xuanshi, Red Gall City.

The Mansion of the Great General of Red Gall City.

A middle-aged man in black armor, his body is not very strong at all, but it looks very strong, what makes people really look at the pair of tiger eyes and the momentum that arises spontaneously, the invincible momentum that has been on the battlefield for a long time, and I dare to fight in front of the ten thousand people.

The middle-aged man was carrying his hands on his back, and a pair of tiger eyes were staring at a map hanging in the main hall, in which the Great Wall of the Border only occupied one corner, and the remaining nine-tenths were all city landmarks and important landmarks in the Xuanmang Territory.

He has been carefully studying this map for decades, and he was looking at it when he was a general of Yunguo, and sent spies to investigate and update it. The map has been marked with countless marks after his study, if the two dynasties start a war, how to fight, he already has a plan in his heart.

"Father, it's easy to have sour eyes when you stare at the picture, so let's drink a cup of tea and rest for a while. A younger-looking general held a cup of tea at the table.

"Well, put it down and drink it later. ”

Chen Mengqi governed the army very strictly, and strictly ordered that no wine should appear in the army at any time, otherwise it would be fifty military staffs, and if the fifty canes went down, the person would either die or be disabled.

After the young general put down the tea, he was about to go out, when suddenly a man rushed to report that he had returned from the periphery of the Great Wall and had an urgent military situation to meet General Chen.

When Chen Fenghuo heard this, he hurriedly said: "Military intelligence first!

A moment later, a man walked into the hall with a hurried footstep and a tired face on his face.

Qin Mo saw the back figure standing with his hands in his hands, the tiredness on his face was instantly swept away, and then he shouted: "Qin Mo, the deputy captain of the tenth scout team of the fifth regiment of the Congyun Cavalry Army, I have seen the general!"

"Qin Mo, I remember you, when you were conscripted in the spring of the twelfth year of Xuanshi, you enlisted in the army. Because of his courage in battle, he was quite courageous, but in just three years, he was promoted to the vice captain of the scout team. ”

"Yes!" Scout Qin Mo couldn't help but be moved when he heard that the general could actually remember himself as a grassroots soldier.

"If you have any military information, let's report it first. ”

According to the 10th Scout Team's desperate approaching reconnaissance, it is initially estimated that there are at least hundreds of thousands of troops! The 10th Scout Team has 50 light cavalry scouts, and only four of them survive! The captain and the rest of the robes were all killed in the battle to cover us and send information!"

Qin Mo suddenly couldn't cry as he spoke, wiping his tears and clenching his fists.

Chen Mengqi stepped forward, helped Qin Mo to get up with both hands, wiped his tears for him and said softly, "Do you want to avenge your forty-six dead brothers?"

"Yes!"

"Okay! Qin Mo! From today onwards, you will be the captain of the 10th Scout Team of the 5th Regiment of Congyun Light Cavalry, and the big battle is imminent, you will avenge the revenge of those forty-six brothers! On the battlefield, General Ben will personally suppress the battle for you!"

This divine power heavenly general looked at Qin Mo's back and pace of leaving firmly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how many green clothes turned white bones, and how many armor blood rust spots.

"Come on, hurry up the matter of Xuan Mang taking a million armor to attack, and send it to the Tianxiao City Palace for eight hundred miles!"

"Millions?"

"That's right, it's a million. ”

......

......

Sky City.

At this time, it was already past noon, and according to the rules of the Xuanzhi Palace, it was already past the time of the scattered dynasty.

King Pingchuan, who was reading the fold in the imperial study, suddenly saw an urgent letterhead, and after he opened it, his heart tightened, and he couldn't even hold the letter and fell directly to the ground.

"Hurry up, urgently summon all the ministers to the court to discuss matters!"

In the Wuji Hall where the ministers went to the court, at this moment, all the high-ranking officials were standing in the middle of the court, and they were all confused and didn't know what was important.

Li Zheng's hurried footsteps came, and he walked to the front of the main hall, holding a letter in his hand.

Although he was in hiding and was imprisoned by his younger brother, in order to avoid the suspicion of trespassing, he still stood every day.

"At this time, I summoned all Aiqing to come, it is really an urgent situation at the border pass, just half an hour ago, this king received an urgent military situation of 800 miles from the border Great Wall, and the general Chen Mengqi personally wrote, Xuan Mang raised millions of troops to attack my Xuanzhi, and now he is marching towards my Great Wall!"

After Li Zheng finished speaking, the entire court was dead silent, and most people were dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.

After a long time in the peaceful days, you will forget the pain that war will bring, but you never thought that happy days will always be interrupted at any time, war is never when you want to come, but the more you don't want to, the more it follows you, no wonder soldiers always say, you can be prepared without war, you must not be unprepared for war.

"Tell me, what do you think?" Li Zheng quietly wiped the sweat from his palms, and pretended to look at these ministers calmly.

Da Xuanzuo Cheng Buchu heard that Xuan Mang brought a million to attack, he was shocked at first, and then said: "Lord, the minister has played, since Xuan Mang has already come to attack, we must not sit still, the border Great Wall defenders have a full 500,000, according to the ratio of soldiers attacking the city five to one, Xuan Mang categorically has no chance to capture the defense line of our Great Wall, and Chen Mengqi, the general who knows Xuan Mang well, is also personally in charge, I think this time Xuan Mang does not need to spend a lot of time, let alone raise the power of the whole country to make people panic." ”

"Then what Prime Minister Zuo means is that we only need to be passive and defensive, and when Xuan Mang's troops are exhausted and the supply of grain and grass is insufficient, it will naturally retreat?"

"Yes, and I think that our side should attack and defend with Xuan Mang on the one hand, and on the other hand, we should send envoys, and the two sides should meet and negotiate and communicate, so that we should stop the army and make peace. My Xuanzhi has just ended the troubled times, and it has only been 20 years since the end of this turbulent situation. ”

Wen Buchu frowned, he couldn't help but think of the tragic scene of everyone changing children and eating a few years ago, although this time is different from the past, but what he is most worried about is the remnants of the six countries that the wildfires can't burn, if the imperial court puts all its focus on the struggle against Xuan Mang, there is a fear of internal disaster.

On the bright side, although the disasters of the Six Nations are not obvious, but these days, due to the disappearance of Lifeng and the reckless movements, there have also been some bad signs in the world, I am afraid that the remnants of the Six Nations are fueling the troubles, and today's Xuanzhi is far from being as harmonious and healthy as it seems, but an undercurrent surging.

Li Zheng's calm face finally stretched out a little, he couldn't help but nodded, Wen Buchu said something reasonable, it seems that there is no need to hear Xuan Mang raise a million troops to lose his temper to this point, things are far from being irreparable, sure enough, he is still too far behind his brother and his brother, if it is the eldest brother Li Feng is facing such a situation, how will he choose.

"I think something is wrong, Xuan Mang has been dormant for ten years, and finally waited for an opportunity, I'm afraid it won't give up easily, since it dares to attack, it must have made some countermeasures, if we despise the Xuan Mang Sixteen Clans so much, I'm afraid the consequences will be very serious. The sage once said, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, it is better to take advantage of this to attack this fang! Gather my Xuanzhi elite soldiers and sharp armor, and fight outside the Great Wall in one fell swoop, and take Xuanmang!

The right prime minister, Yan Zilu, suddenly spoke, his voice was hard and cold, full of the appearance of an imperial hawk. I don't know which Confucian sage put forward the theory that the whole world is not the king's land, and it has been regarded as a classic Confucian remark by the kings of all dynasties, which is in line with the inner thoughts of every ambitious king.

Yan Zilu looked at the regent, and saw that the expression on his face was clumsy, as if he was carefully thinking about what the two prime ministers said.

In fact, this is Li Zheng's heart has already moved, he is really thinking about if he really gathers a heavy army to fight against Xuan Mang, can he eat the millions of reckless barbarians, if he really defeats Xuan Mang under the leadership of Li Zheng, and eats a large area of territory in one fell swoop......

Wen Buchu saw that Li Zheng had already been a little moved by what his sworn enemy had said, and he couldn't help but hurriedly speak: "If we really assemble a large army for a battle, if we fail, who will bear the consequences of defeat! At that time, not to mention whether my Great Wall is broken or not, how many soldiers' blood will have to be used to fill it! Besides, my Xuanzhi is the stage where I need to recuperate, if there are another ten years, I Wen Buchu will definitely be the first to send troops to Xuanmang! But now, I must not gamble with the blood of my soldiers!"

The other ministers in the court followed: "The ministers seconded it!"

The military department Shangshu Han painted the halberd, and at the same time was the only heavenly general in the dynasty, and before that, this position was the emperor Fu Wenhou, who was also the five heavenly generals.

Han Huaji opened his mouth to persuade: "The minister thinks that what Prime Minister Zuo said is that if you start a full-scale war with Xuan Mang now, I am afraid the time is not right." ”
