Lu Chunqiu left, taking the little Diao Chan with him.

Fan Li personally sent the two out of the city, and he was very reluctant in his heart.

Especially the little Diao Chan's shouts of 'Daddy, don't forget Chan'er', even his eyes were a little moist.

But the touching of family affection did not last long, and immediately something big came that made Fan Li have to clean up his mood.

"Your Majesty!"

"Prince Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, leading 200,000 troops to attack Hongzhou."

"Wanli and the Southern Tang Army were defeated in the first battle, losing 30,000 soldiers, and the defeated troops retreated to the outside of Hongzhou to re-station."

"Emperor Jiajing issued an edict to reprimand Wanli, ordering his entire army to fight again, and not to retreat and return to the court."

Da Ming defeated?

Fan Li was very surprised, but he believed that the Ming intelligence sent by Hu Zongxian could never be wrong.

"Captain, what is the specific battle situation?" Fan Li asked, "I want to know the combat power of Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty, what kind of realm he has reached in cultivation?" ”

"It's terrifying!"

Hu Zongxian's expression was serious, as if he was on the battlefield in Hongzhou at the moment.

"In this battle, Li Yu personally took action."

"He stood at the head of Hongzhou City, facing the 200,000 soldiers of Prince Wanli, but he did not bring a single soldier and went out of the city alone to meet the enemy."

Fan Li was also shocked when he heard this.

Li Yu is so strong?

"What did he do? Could it be the [Pangu Giant Body]? ”

Fan Li's cultivation is not enough after all.

With his cognition, he could only think of the anti-heaven supernatural power of [Pangu Giant Body], and it was possible to achieve the picture of one enemy against 200,000.

However, the Southern Tang Dynasty has just occupied Hongzhou, and will be able to exert the Son of Heaven immediately?

Hu Zongxian shook his head.

"In this battle, Li Yu only has one stroke."

"When it rains heavily, he uses the rain as ink and the earth as paper. Splash ink and write a million soldiers with one stroke! ”

Fan Li is no stranger to this.

A million soldiers should be a means for Confucianism and Taoism to show the weather.

But that's too many, isn't it?

Fan Li hurriedly asked, "What did he write?" ”

If it weren't for the work of heaven and earth, there would never be such a weather!

Hu Zongxian chanted slowly: "Eight hundred miles of scorching, fifty strings turning over the outside sound, the battlefield ...... Autumn Point Soldiers! ”

It's actually "Breaking the Array"?

Fan Li was slightly stunned, not understanding how this song song could become Li Yu's work.

"It can be seen that the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty is the most afraid of siege."

"The number of people is meaningless in front of Li Yu."

"In ancient times, it was rumored that the immortal family had the art of sprinkling beans into soldiers, and Li Yu wrote a million soldiers with one stroke, and the means were to chase the immortals."

Hearing Hu Zongxian say this, Fan Li just smiled bitterly.

It is already very modest to say that he is chasing immortals, and the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty is probably a genuine immortal.

"As for the cultivation realm...... Judging from the rumors, it should be the nine products of the Mahayana realm. When he said this, Hu Zongxian was a little hesitant.

Fan Li understood his feelings.

Mahayana realm nine products?

On the same level as Emperor Jiajing?

This is obviously a terrifying strength, but Li Yu came down from the immortal realm.

His cultivation is not surprising even if it is several times higher.

How can it be the nine products of the Mahayana realm?

Fan Li shook his head and dissipated the doubts in his heart.

He never delved into unsolvable problems, and now he doesn't understand them because of his limited cognition.

As long as he continues to explore and dig out the secrets of this world, Fan Li will finally have a day to solve his doubts.

"In the face of the means of the nine products of the Mahayana realm, Wanli was not unjustly defeated." Fan Li said, but he was complaining in his heart that Emperor Jiajing was really ruthless to Wanli.

Is this an opportunity for his own prince to make a contribution?

It is clear that Wanli is going to give away people's heads.

Being able to retreat from the Hongzhou battlefield alive and well, and only losing 30,000 horses, Wanli has indeed made great progress.

"After this battle, near Hongzhou in Daming, there were two places, Luling and Chaisang, which were ministers to Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty." Hu Zongxian said again.

This is to be expected.

The Ming Dynasty has been proud of all countries in the world for many years, but once there was civil strife, and it was defeated again and again, and it was reasonable to lose people's hearts.

There are opportunistic and cowardly people, and it is reasonable to surrender to the Southern Tang.

"It's a trifle, it's not worth mentioning."

"The confrontation between the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, if you want to decide the real victory, the key depends on who is better between Emperor Jiajing and Li Yu."

"But Emperor Jiajing only sent Wanli to the expedition, which is somewhat of a bit of a knife to kill people."

Fan Lizheng and Hu Zongxian analyzed the situation, and their faces suddenly changed.

Da Chu's side, something is wrong.

……

…………

Great Chu court.

"Duke Jin, I want to drive the expedition in person, will you give me the talismans of the 200,000 garrisons?"

Hearing Xiang Chong say this, Fan Li immediately sank his face.

At this time, it was in the Great Chu Dynasty, and Fan Li's clone was just going through the motions to clock in to work, but he didn't expect Xiang Chong to seem to have taken the wrong medicine, and he actually dared to reach out to him to ask for military power.

"What did Your Majesty drink yesterday?"

Fan Li said, his eyes glaring at Gonggong Chen on the side.

"There are no peanuts, at least a cucumber for Your Majesty in the imperial dining room?"

"See how drunk Your Majesty is?"

How dare Gonggong Chen argue with Fan Li?

The old eunuch lowered his head, bowed down and did not dare to refute.

Xiang Chong said: "Duke Jin, I am serious!" Xiongzhou is occupied by thieves, if I drive to Xiongzhou in person, I only need to raise my arms and shout, and the people of Xiongzhou will definitely eat pot pulp to welcome the king! ”

Fan jumped from his eyelids.

Eating pot pulp?

This kid has recently started reading? Speaking actually know how to quote idioms?

"Your Majesty, this is impossible." Fan Li said expressionlessly.

"Why?" Xiang Chong was not convinced. "Don't the people of Xiongzhou miss their homeland? Don't miss your father? ”

"The minister doesn't care at all whether the people of Xiongzhou miss their homeland."

"The minister only cares about whether the most elite army of Great Chu has always been in the hands of the minister."

Fan Li's answer was obviously unexpected.

"You, you, you......"

"As an important minister of his country, how could the Duke of Jin say such narrow and selfish words? Doesn't Jin Gong feel ashamed? ”

Hearing Xiang Chong say this, Fan Li nodded.

"Yes, I don't think so."

Whether Xiang Chong really wanted to take the military campaign in person, or asked for military power under the pretext of asking for military power, Fan Li didn't care.

The 200,000 garrison is his confidence to welcome back Xiang Ning in the future, how can it be consumed in Xiongzhou?

What's more, from the analysis of Li Yu's combat power in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Shi Jingjiao of the Later Jin Dynasty may not be much weaker.

Let Xiang Chong lead the troops out on the expedition with this kind of waste?

It doesn't matter if he dies, the lives of 200,000 soldiers are precious!

"Your Majesty, don't forget."

"Huh?"

"This duke is as famous as Dong Zhuo of the former Han Dynasty and Yan Song of the Ming Dynasty, so what is it to control the military power?"

Fan Li said, ignoring Xiang Chong's flushed face, and turned to face the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces.

"If there is something to do, it will be played early, and there will be nothing to retreat."

"Do you have anything else to do?"

Silence, very tacit.

Fan Li nodded with satisfaction: "In this case, let's retreat." ”

……

…………

Harem.

Xiang Chong complained to Bai Rong.

"Queen, how could Fan Li give up his military power?"

"You persuaded me to ask him for military power, so that I was humiliated in public for no reason, so that I could not come to power."

"Besides, if Fan Li agrees to me to hand over the power of the army, do I really want to go into battle to kill the enemy?"

"I heard that over there in the Ming Dynasty, Prince Wanli just fought a defeated battle, and I don't want to send him to death!"

Bai Rong and the others finished speaking, and they didn't explain first.

She served Xiang Chong lying down on the dragon bed, kneading and pressing all parts of Xiang Chong's body through the silky brocade cloth with her bare hands, so comfortable that he made a strange nasal sound.

"Your Majesty is still blaming the concubines?"

"I didn't ...... How can there be ......?"

Xiang Chong's character, once he is comfortable being served by a woman, he immediately obeys her.

Pinching him, Bai Rong is already familiar with him.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, listen to the concubine."

"Fan Li controls the military power, and the concubine is sure that he will not agree."

"What the concubines fight for Your Majesty is just an attitude."

"After today, everyone in the Great Chu court knows that His Majesty is willing to take the royal family to expropriate and lose the land, but Fan is narrow-minded and selfish."

Xiang Chong nodded again and again.

"That's right!"

"In this way, everyone in the world knows that Fan Li's character is despicable, and he has also seen my character."

"But...... Fan Li was originally a traitor? ”

Xiang Chong was happy for a while, and then he wilted again.

"Queen, what's the use of saying this?"

Bai Rong didn't answer first, and the kneading skills in her hands were even more fancy, making Xiang Chong tremble.

When he was almost comfortable, Bai Rong explained.

"It is reasonable for Your Majesty to want to regain lost territory. Fan Li refused to send troops, which was inconsistent with etiquette. ”

"If at this time, Your Majesty's allies are willing to support Your Majesty, can Fan Li stop it?"

Xiang Chong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and suddenly became ecstatic.

"The queen is saying that His Majesty Yaoguang supports me?"

"Of course." Bai Rong nodded. "The friendship of the Five Nations Alliance is deep, especially Empress Yaoguang looks at Your Majesty differently."

Xiang Chong's face flushed with excitement.

He turned over and started from the bed, with an embarrassed expression: "Hehe, I didn't expect me to be so charming, so that His Majesty Yaoguang would have feelings for me?" ”

Bai Rong was stunned for a few seconds, and almost couldn't resist slapping Xiang Chong to death.

She swallowed her temper and said: "Your Majesty misunderstood, the concubine means that Empress Yaoguang treats Her Majesty as a son and nephew, and she has always cared for you." ”

Xiang Chong reacted at this time, and he couldn't help but blush.

"So that's it? I was wrong, haha, thankfully...... Fortunately, the empress couldn't hear it. ”

"Empress, how do you say His Majesty Yaoguang will support me? Daci has a sparse population, and most of them are women, do you support tens of thousands of female soldiers to me? ”

Xiang Chong said, with another look of disgust.

Bai Rong was really about to hold back.

But imagining the queen's throne that had already been reached, as well as the tasks assigned to her by Empress Yaoguang, she still endured it after all.

"What did Your Majesty say?"

"Although the population of Daci is small, it is a master of many years."

"What Your Majesty Yaoguang means is to ask Your Majesty to recruit garrisons from all over Dachu except for the garrison and hand them over to Daci's command."

"The Daci Dynasty sent a holy lord to recover Xiongzhou for His Majesty, and it also exempted His Majesty from the hardships of the imperial expedition, didn't it?"

I see?

Xiang Chong was overjoyed when he heard this, and said continuously: "Okay, good!" That's it! The military power of the garrisons in various parts of Great Chu is not all in Fan Li's hands, and I can still deploy and deploy them. ”

He is not stupid, he knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

"That...... His Majesty Yaoguang supports me so much, do you have any requirements? ”

Carvin, slightly less, forgive me.
