Chapter 51: The Imperial Expedition
Above the court, there was silence.
Everyone was waiting for the dragon throne to make a decision.
Since the Great Zhou and the Xiongnu started the war, all the grain and grass of the Great Zhou have been robbed, one-third of the soldiers and horses have been lost, and the defense line has retreated for hundreds of miles.
This was the first defeat Cang Rin encountered since ascending the throne.
"Ministry of War, how long does it take to transfer troops?" Cang Rin looked at the military department under the court and asked.
"Your Majesty, all the adjustable forces are now scattered in the states, and it will take time to regroup."
This was also Cang Rin's own decision, in order to be able to implement the government decree reform smoothly, he disrupted the 200,000 troops to guard the states of the Great Zhou.
Although Cang Rin disrupted 200,000 troops and interspersed the states of the Great Zhou, there were always 100,000 elite army reserves that were not moved just in case, which is also the reason why the northern border came to report the Xiongnu invasion of Cang Rin with confidence.
Moreover, at the beginning, no one would think that as soon as the war ended, a new war would begin; No one would have thought that there was still an existence in the world that could defeat the Great Zhou Iron Cavalry.
The battle in the north can be regarded as guarding the face of the people of the world, giving Da Zhou and Cang Rin a hard slap.
"How fast will it take?"
"Considering the long distance and the snowstorm during this period, it will take at least two months to collect them all."
"I'm afraid I'm going to hit the root of the imperial city in two months!" Someone retorted.
How could the military department not know this truth, but the reality is like this.
"During this period of heavy snowfall, it was difficult to walk on the road. Even if there is no heavy snowfall, it will take a month for the 200,000 army to assemble quickly! ”
"Lone remembers that there are still 100,000 troops in Fengjing."
Bingbu Shangshu nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
"Dispatch 50,000 troops from Fengnjiang to the south, and gather troops and horses in the south to march north. The soldiers and horses stationed in the five prefectures of Yan, Ke, Lin, Yu, and Ling had to be seen outside the capital five days later. ”
The five states that Cang Rin said are the five closest to the capital.
"Your Majesty, it hasn't been long since Fengjing was defeated, isn't it too risky to transfer 50,000 troops now, in case the remnants of Fengjing come back, wouldn't everything you did before be in vain. And ......" The military department Shangshu spat out a breath of turbidity and said: "Linzhou is King Jiang's territory, and his private soldiers are the most among the vassal kings. ”
If the soldiers are withdrawn, if King Jiang has a heart of disobedience, the end will be unimaginable.
"Hmph, the Dafeng royal family is withering, Emperor Feng is dead, and he has no children, even if he comes back, it will be just a pile of loose sand, so there is nothing to worry about." Cang Rin said and his fingers tapped unconsciously, he was more worried about King Jiang, who was closest to the capital, "Send a letter, let Lin Heng leave Linzhou, and when he leaves Linzhou, he will integrate King Jiang's private soldiers into the army and bring them outside the capital together." ”
"Whoa!"
After the military department finished speaking, there was silence around again.
Now there is another problem in front of everyone, and now the problem of gathering troops and horses is solved, but the leader is ......
"Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to lead troops to the north and defeat the Huns!" It was Dong Rui, the veteran protector general of the Three Dynasties, who spoke.
Speaking of which, Master Dong is still Cang Rin's teacher, and although he is now in his sixtieth year, he is still old and strong, and he is one of the few royalists among the old ministers.
"No need, Dong Guozhu, you and Zhang Xiangzhen are guarding the imperial city, and you have to drive the imperial expedition in person!"
……
Jin Yu got the news that he was going to drive the imperial expedition after Cang Rin went down to court
At this time, she held a homemade cat teasing stick and teased the cat in the inner sanctum. After Changning reported the news to her, Jin Yu's hand holding the cat teasing stick hung down, and the smile on his face disappeared, "I know, you go down." ”
"Whoa."
Changning looked at Jin Yu distressedly, at first he still had some opinions when he was transferred to the Jade Palace, but after a long time, he didn't have to bear His Majesty's anger all the time, and the jade master was good, he suddenly felt that it was not bad to do an errand in the Jade Palace.
After Changning went out, the smile that disappeared from Jin Yu's face reappeared, and she raised the cat teasing stick in her hand and watched the cat on the ground move with her cat teasing stick.
It won't be long before it's all over.
Cang Rin returned to the Jade Palace very late that night, he originally thought that Jin Yu must have fallen asleep when he came back, but who knew that she had been sitting on the soft couch reading a book and waiting for him.
"Didn't I say you don't have to wait for me?"
I don't know since when, Cang Rin called me more than I claimed to be lonely in front of Jin Yu.
"But I just want to wait for His Majesty to come back and sleep with me."
Jin Yu stretched out his arm to Cang Rin, and Cang Rin stepped forward to habitually hold Jin Yu in his arms and walked to the bed.
Jin Yu rested his head on Cang Rin's shoulder, "Your Majesty." ”
"Hmm."
"Your Majesty~"
"Hmm."
"Your Majesty'......"
"I'm here."
Jin Yu pressed his face to Cang Rin's face and kissed him on the cheek, "Obviously Your Majesty is still here, and the cat is starting to miss you." ”
"I'll be back at the latest in spring."
Cang Rin put Jin Yu on the bed, Jin Yu looked at Cang Rin with a smile, and said, "Yes, I originally thought it would end before the beginning of summer, but spring is the time when the recovery of all things starts again." ”
"Yes."
Jin Yu took Cang Rin's hand, and his tone suddenly lowered, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry." ”
To say sorry is to be really sorry.
"Why?"
Jin Yu said softly: "If only I could accompany you." ”
Cang Rin smiled and shook her head, "What kind of battlefield did you go to as a woman, obediently waiting for me to come back in the capital." ”
"Okay."
……
On the day Cang Rin left the capital, the clouds were thick, and the sky was gloomy as if it was about to fall.
Tai Changqing admonished Cang Rin to re-select the date for sending troops, but the army had arrived and the holy decree had been issued, so Cang Rin only said that it was okay, and he still sent troops to the north according to the original plan.
When Cang Rin went out of the city, Jin Yu also came to the outside of the palace.
Cang Rin did not break his promise and allowed Jin Yu to live in Plum Blossom Lane during the time he was away, but he couldn't worry about Jin Yu's safety, and left a team of fifty black armor guards by her side to protect her safety.
Jin Yu stood by the window on the second floor of the main city road in the capital, looking at Cang Rin wearing a black and gold armor and a mask of magic brakes on his face, sitting majestically and coldly on a tall horse, surrounded by all the generals and walking out of the city.
After not seeing Cang Rin's figure, Jin Yu left the window and returned to the private room of the restaurant, at this time, in addition to Ruo'er and Zhang Zhang, there was also Changning waiting by Jin Yu's side in the entire private room.
"Ruo'er, you and Changning go back to Meihua Lane to clean up first, and I'll go back after lunch here."
"Whoa."
Changning didn't feel that Jin Yu was supporting himself at all, after all, Ruo'er was with him, and Jin Yu was guarded by the black armor guard.
Not long after the two left, an old man who was about fifty years old walked towards the box with a tea set, and the black armor guard at the door did not stop him, because Jin Yu ordered the tea master of the restaurant They had heard it.
After the tea master walked into the private room, the black armor guard at the door closed the door.
And after the tea master entered the box, he put the tea set down and knelt directly on the ground.
"Your Majesty."
