"What does Your Majesty mean by this?"

"What does my brother mean by this?"

Chongxian Fang Yao Mansion study.

Yao Silian's eyelids drooped, puzzled.

I don't know how long it took.

Maybe a quarter of an hour or two.

Maybe it's more than 100 breaths.

Yao Silian, who was still a little drunk, suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

"I see, I see!"

"Your Majesty is ......"

Speaking of which.

Yao Silian hurriedly closed his mouth, and then quickly got up from the Taishi chair.

Hurriedly walked outside the study to take a look left and right.

After making sure that there is no other person outside the study.

Yao Silian closed the door of the study again.

He walked to the Taishi chair and sat down.

His gaze looked deeply in the direction of the Imperial City.

I couldn't help but murmur in horror: "With the general trend of the world as a chessboard, and the common people of the world as a chess piece, Your Majesty...... Your Majesty is really a good means!"

In the past six months or so.

Xu Yong has been secretly committed to gathering some of the families affected by Xu Yi's disaster relief.

Others may not know about this.

But Yao Silian is one of the shadows that Xu Yi planted in Chang'an City.

How could they not know this?

Want.

It must have been Emperor Zhengde who noticed some clues.

So.

In this chessboard in the world, the first to be affected is Prince Yong.

It's just that for some reason, Emperor Zhengde chose to focus on deterrence this time.

Xu is to find a mountain of ironclad evidence.

It's Emperor Zhengde again, and he has another calculation.

Furthermore.

Nearly half a year.

The "Western Regions" medicinal jade swept the entire Jingshi Chang'an City.

It even affected the entire Guanzhong and surrounding counties.

Emperor Zhengde is the lord of the world, and his eyeliner is densely covered in Chang'an City.

How could he not know about the crazy wealth accumulation of the "Western Regions Medicine Jade"?

Although the "story" compiled by Xu Yi for the "Western Regions Medicine Jade" can be self-consistent to a certain extent.

But he can't hide the real old foxes in the court.

Not to mention the unfathomable Emperor Zhengde.

After this incident.

Emperor Zhengde will definitely be very attentive to the Lower Los Angeles Workshop and everything Xu Yi has done in Yandi.

One of them is on the heart.

Xu Yi's strength on the bright side will definitely be seen at a glance.

For example, the three full battalions of guards totaled 21,000 soldiers.

Such as the day into the gold of the lower Los Angeles medicine and jade workshop.

For example, the Lower Los Angeles Coal Factory, which is constantly transporting heating materials to Liaodi.

Such as the smelting workshop and forging workshop built in cooperation with the Zhu family in Shanggu.

Pile by pile, piece by piece, in the eyes of Emperor Zhengde, all of them are manifestations of Xu Yi's ambition.

Even if Xu Yi didn't take the initiative to ask Mobei this time.

When Emperor Zhengde freed his hand.

He will also try his best to force Xu Yi to send troops to Mobei.

And then achieve the goal of nipping the threat in the bud.

And this reward.

Like ten thousand war horses.

Such as grain and grass 50,000 stones.

For example, three thousand pairs of armor.

Like five thousand crossbows.

like a hundred thousand crossbow arrows.

All of them are deadly poisons wrapped in sugar-coating.

As Yao Yanjin said earlier.

How will the crown prince Xu Yong and the kings of the border pass feel when they learn about this?

Want.

Prince Xu Yong will see him more and more as a thorn in his side.

And the kings of the border pass passed through this incident, and every time they saw the Yandi army, they would be like a fish in their throats.

Why?

Why can Xu Yi send troops late?

Why did Xu Yi have so many rewards when he sent troops to Mobei?

Why can Xu Yi have such a large degree of freedom and not be subject to the jurisdiction of the imperial court after sending troops to Mobei?

are also vassal kings, why does Xu Yi have such a big privilege?

Just because he is the son of your Emperor Zhengde?

Just because he is the son of your Emperor Zhengde?

Fair or not?

Do not suffer from few, but suffer from unevenness.

It can well be imagined.

The four kings of Dai Qi, Liao Yan, Zhao Cheng, and Han who went to Mobei will have great resentment in their hearts.

However.

Now is a critical period in the game of "dynasties".

The four kings of Dai, Liao, Zhao, and Han will not have anything to do with this critical period.

But after all, I still have to find an outlet for the resentment in my heart.

If nothing else.

Xu Yi and his Yandi soldiers will become an outlet for the resentment in the hearts of the four kings.

And with Xu Yi's temperament and ambition.

How can they willingly become an outlet for the resentment in the hearts of others?

After this incident.

Xu Yi and the four kings of Dai, Liao, Zhao, and Han will be incompatible.

Unfortunately.

Acting King Xu Qi is in charge of Dai County and Yan Shanggu County are adjacent to each other.

Liaoxi County, which was in charge of Xu Yan, the king of Liao, was only separated from Yandi Yuyang County by one day, and there were four counties of Youbeiping County.

There are two kings here.

Xu Yi will be confined to Yan Land to the death.

No matter how ambitious he is, under such circumstances, he will never dare to act rashly or rashly.

So.

In the chess game of Emperor Zhengde, the general trend of the world is the chessboard and the common people of the world are the chess pieces.

Fang began.

Xu Yi was restricted by it.

Chongxian Fang Yao Mansion study.

Yao Silian couldn't help but sigh heavily when he thought about it.

He muttered in a low voice, "Ginger is still old and spicy after all."

The words fell.

Yao Silian couldn't help but have a doubt in his heart again?

"What do you want to do today?"

Yao Silian's eyelids drooped, and after a moment's concentration, he fell into deep thought again.

I don't know how long it took.

Maybe it's an hour or two.

Maybe a quarter of an hour or two.

When the brightly lit Chongxianfang Yao Mansion study room came from the sound of several rooster crows.

Yao Silian's lowered eyelids slowly opened again.

The slightly cloudy eyes couldn't help but flash a flash of enlightenment.

"It's very likely that my brother noticed that the Swallow Land was unusual."

"Or maybe something has happened in Yandi lately that I don't know."

"And the purpose of my brother's visit tonight should be to bet on both sides."

"And I'm the bettor on King Yan's side."

Yao Silian sighed lightly and muttered to himself in a low voice.

True.

The fact that the family bets on two sides, or even on three sides, or even on multiple sides is commonplace.

But somehow.

When the matter came to an end, although Yao Silian, who had read the sage books for half his life, could understand, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart after all.

"Ah~!"

Yao Silian sighed lightly again, and then poured water into the inkstone.

After simple ink grinding and paper laying.

Yao Silian picked up a wolf pen and wrote today's events and guesses on the rice paper.

A moment later.

The book is written and stopped.

Allow the ink to dry thoroughly.

Yao Silian got up and kicked the letter and walked straight out of the study.

Unconsciously.

Outside the study, it was already dark.

......

......

Meanwhile.

A Li character big silk went around and around, and finally stood again at the halfway slope of Minghu Mountain.

The cold wind of the early morning constantly blows halfway up the slope of Minghu Mountain.

Even the Li Zi Daxu, whose color is no longer bright, makes a loud sound from time to time.

At the foot of Minghu Mountain, there are several roads that must be passed to the halfway slopes.

Countless figures armed with spears and shields formed a phalanx and fought each other constantly.

The sounds of fighting, roaring, wailing, and begging for mercy gradually merged with the clanging sound of the Great Ring.

The result is an endless whimper.

And as more and more people fell, this sound gradually evolved into the only sound in this world.

Countless corpses lay on the ground in the place where the two sides were fighting.

Bobo's blood continued to spill from the corpse.

While melting the snow in the mountains, it gathers into a red stream that flows towards the foot of the mountain.

However.

The Red Stream is only a few steps away.

It is convenient for thorough solidification in the early morning when the cold wind blows.

After counting the interest.

New blood flowed from the soldiers on both sides of the war.

I don't know how many times I have gone back and forth like this.

Several roads leading to the military village on the halfway slope of Minghu Mountain are already covered with red ice streams.

Countless corpses were piled up on the red ice stream.

It was as if one defense after another had been built invisibly.

I don't know how long it took.

At the foot of the mountain, there was a sudden sound of cymbals.

The waves of enemies that were pouring in gradually receded the moment the cymbals sounded.

Halfway up the slope of Minghu Mountain, next to the big tent of the Chinese army.

Li Guangli, the general wearing a purple jade crown and a bright silver mountain armor, stood on the high platform with a pale face.

Condescendingly, he looked at the Hun soldiers who dispersed like a tide on several roads that must be passed.

and the Great Zhou soldiers who formed a battle formation and constantly pursued the enemy.

Since the last defeat.

Li Guangli used the "horse war Huns" as an excuse to push the general army back to Minghu Mountain again.

Compared to the last time.

This time, Li Guangli was more prepared.

Bows, arrows, etc. are not mentioned for the time being.

Grain, grass, and medicines alone are enough for half a year.

That's why.

The Xiongnu, the king of the left valley, Jordan, and the king of the right valley, Mu Liangha, attacked from time to time.

However, each offensive was forcibly fought by Li Guangli and others with a casualty rate three times that of the enemy.

The entire situation in Mobei has been completely scorched since the moment the Great Zhou side entered Minghu Mountain again.

If there is no external help.

Within half a year, no one on both sides could help anyone.

I don't know how long it took.

When the Great Zhou soldiers were about to pursue to the foot of the mountain.

Li Guangli, who was standing on the high platform with a grim face, turned to look at the four generals behind him and Li Ling, the general of the expedition to the north.

Waving his hand slightly, he said, "Mingjin retreats!" The ministries sweep the main roads guarded by the ministries."

"The spoils of war shall be handed over to the quartermaster before the time of application."

"After the quartermaster checks that it is correct, he will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds."

As soon as this statement came out.

Li Ling, the general of the expedition to the north, breathed a sigh of relief.

In this battle.

It is the main road guarded by his subordinates that is the most difficult to keep.

Naturally, the loss is also the largest.

Although Li Ling had the heart to resist, Li Guangli was crushed to death by the official.

But fortunately, Li Guangli still has some worries, and he will not really kill them all.

On a high platform.

Li Guangli paused slightly, and followed

He spoke again, "Besides."

"All departments will count the battle damage as soon as possible."

"Before noon, order someone to report to the Wei State Office."

The words fell.

Li Guangli walked down the high platform without looking back.

"Obey!"

Seeing this, Li Ling, Yu Yafu and others had to clasp their fists and salute.

Congratulations to Li Guangli leaving.

After Li Guangli's figure completely disappeared near the high platform.

Yu Yafu and the other four generals glanced at each other, and then silently walked off the high platform.

For a while, Li Ling was the only one left on the huge high platform.

"Ugh."

Li Ling sighed wordlessly, and then walked off the high platform with a sullen head.

Straight towards the northeast corner of the military village.

Unconsciously.

The entire Minghu Mountain military village is divided into two factions.

One faction was led by the generals Li Guangli and Wei Guogong Gu Zhanying.

The generals of this faction were all people who went to Mobei for the first time.

The other faction is the alliance of vassal kings composed of Yu Yafu under the command of the acting king, Lin Heyun under the command of the king of Zhao, Gongyang Lu under the command of the king of Liao, and Zhuang Sanxi under the command of the king of Han.

And Li Ling did not belong to Li Guangli's faction, nor could he integrate into the alliance of vassal kings of Yu Yafu and others.

Its situation in the military village of Minghu Mountain can be imagined.

......

......

Two quarters of an hour later.

Li Ling, who was full of grievances, finally arrived at the station located in the northeast corner of the military village of Minghu Mountain.

Fang Yi arrived at the station.

I saw hundreds of bloodstained soldiers sitting on both sides of the tent.

Wails of pain continued to come from the mouths of the hundreds of soldiers.

The figures of more than 20 military doctors shuttled between the wounded one after another without touching the ground.

Time.

The northeast corner of the military village of Minghu Mountain is as miserable as purgatory on earth.

Li Ling, who was looking straight at him, couldn't help frowning.

"General, you're back."

Li Zhong, the general who was sitting on the cold ground, saw Li Ling's figure coming, and hurriedly got up to meet him without caring about bandaging his wounds.

"Where's the injury?"

Li Ling frowned, constantly looking Li Zhong up and down.

However, at this time, Li Zhong seemed to have just come out of the pool of blood, and there was no place on his body that was not black and red.

If they do not speak, it is extremely difficult to see the wound with the naked eye alone.

"Back to the general."

"The right arm was hit by a strong crossbow arrow from the Huns."

"Fortunately, my subordinates are wearing armor, and the injuries are not serious."

Li Zhong scratched his head when he heard this, and said with a smile.

"What about the casualties of this battle?"

Li Ling nodded slightly when he heard this, and then looked away at the wounded pawn not far away.

"Back to the general."

"More than 200 killed."

"More than 100 people were seriously injured."

"More than 400 people were slightly injured."

Li Zhong's face instantly changed when he heard this, and he quickly replied.

More than 200 people were killed, more than 100 were seriously wounded, and more than 400 were lightly wounded.

It seems that the casualties are no more than a thousand.

In fact, the number of soldiers and horses that Li Ling is in charge of now is only worth three thousand.

That's what it means.

In this battle alone, Li Ling suffered three percent casualties.

If there is such an engagement, it will happen twice.

He will become the commander of the light pole completely!

That's what I think about.

Li Ling, who was already extremely aggrieved in his heart, couldn't help but feel a dark fire in his heart.

"The Chinese herbs in the army are enough."

After counting the interest.

Li Ling forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a deep voice.

"Back to the general."

"The Chinese herbs in the army are quite sufficient."

"It's just. . .

....」

"It's ......."

Li Zhong scratched his head, and looked at Li Ling with a bitter face.

"What is it?"

"Hugh will swallow!"

Seeing this, Li Ling's tightly knit brows couldn't help but wrinkle even deeper.

"Ugh."

Li Zhong sighed deeply with bitterness on his face.

Then he replied in a low voice, "General, the brethren now have a deep complaint about the repeated duty of the C-number road."

"Counting this time, the Huns have attacked a total of three times in the past half a month, two false and one real."

"And we've guarded the C-shaped road twice."

The words fell.

Li Ling, who was full of grievances and dark fires in his heart, forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart.

He waved his hand slightly and said, "I know about this."

"First find a way to pacify and appease the brethren."

"I'll figure this out."

Li Zhong sighed silently when he heard this, and then clasped his fists and saluted, "Obey!"

As Li Ling's general, how could he not understand Li Ling's current situation.

Sometimes it really wants to......
