The capital, the imperial palace, the palace of the body.

Syllable!

The sound of slamming the table.

"Damn Tatars, they treat me like nothing!"

As the supreme ruler of the Qi Kingdom, the Emperor of Qi slapped the case fiercely, his face full of anger.

The hall was unusually quiet, only the anger of Emperor Qi, after a long time, Emperor Qi's mood could be stabilized, but his face was still very heavy, looking at someone below.

"Ma Shangshu, as the secretary of the military department, do you have any good way to deal with the Tatars, teach them not to disturb the border of our Qi country, or destroy them all, once and for all! Give peace to the people on our border. ”

That Ma Shangshu couldn't help but show a look of embarrassment, but had to stand up and arch his hand: "Your Majesty, the Tatars are familiar with the art of horseback riding, and they come up and leave without a trace on the grassland, even if my Qi soldiers go out of the city gate, they can only look at their backs and watch them fly away, there is no way but to wait for them to take the initiative to attack, however, the Tatars are extremely cunning, every time they just plunder and leave, they don't give me a chance to surround the Qi soldiers at all."

Emperor Qi frowned: "Doesn't my Qi country also have cavalry?"

Ma Shangshu continued: "Your Majesty, my Qi country does have cavalry, but ......"

When he said this, he hesitated.

Emperor Qi was displeased: "But what!"

Helpless, Ma Shangshu had to grit his teeth and continued: "The Tatars have slept on horseback since childhood, and they are with horses all day long, and their horseback riding skills far exceed our Qi cavalry, and our side can't catch up with the Tatars at all, even if they catch up, they are not opponents, and the minister dares to say that on the flat ground, my Qi soldiers are one-on-one, even if they are one-to-two, they are not afraid of the Tatars, but they ...... on horseback."

The meaning of Ma Shangshu is obvious, the Tatar horseback riding skills are the best in the world, and the cavalry of our Qi country is like an egg hitting a stone compared to it, and it is not its opponent at all.

Hearing this, Emperor Qi's brows furrowed even deeper, he naturally heard about the living habits of the Tatars, and knew that his horseback riding skills were very powerful, but what he didn't expect was that his own cavalry was far from it.

"Then create a few more cavalry", Emperor Qi was furious, since my cavalry is not as good as you, then I will use the number of people to kill you.

Ma Shangshu smiled bitterly again, if he was not the highest ruler in this country, he would grab his collar, foam at his mouth and spray his face, and say it lightly, Qian Nick! Money nickname! Money nickname!

Taking a deep breath, Ma Shangshu was about to say something, but the Hubu Shangshu on the side took the lead to stand up: "Your Majesty, this year is colder than in previous years, and the people's crops have been reduced by more than half compared with previous years. ”

"Moreover, the cavalry already consumes a lot of money, and every year due to the wear and tear of the horse's hooves leads to the scrapping of many war horses, which undoubtedly aggravates the consumption of money, if you continue to invest more money in the cavalry, it will inevitably be less spent in other aspects, such as water conservancy, etc., and over time it will inevitably cause social turmoil, and the gains will outweigh the losses."

Emperor Qi was silent, he was in a fit of rage, and he didn't think about it, but now his mind was calm, and if he thought about it carefully, every year the expenditure of the treasury, the cost of cavalry accounted for a large part, and it was really not appropriate to add too much money, otherwise, the light one was empty in the treasury, and the heavy one was just like the social turmoil that the Hubu Shangshu said.

"Is there a way to prevent the horse's hooves from wearing?" , Emperor Qi looked at Ma Shangshu.

Ma Shangshu shook his head: "The wear and tear of the horse's hooves is inevitable, and since ancient times, countless people have tried to stop the wear and tear of the horse's hooves, but they have all failed without exception. ”

As soon as he said this, the entire hall began to be quiet again, so quiet that people's mood couldn't help but sink, and the eunuch on the side didn't dare to breathe hard.

......

Xiao Shuyi frowned and put down the fold in her hand for a long time.

The female soldier on the side couldn't help it, and asked with some curiosity: "General, what happened?" ”

"The Tatars have violated our borders again," Xiao Shuyi said, her face filled with anger.

"Damn the Tatars!"

The female soldier was also unusually angry: "When I have the opportunity in the future, I will go to the battlefield and slash the damned Tatars!" ”

"Don't worry, there will be opportunities in the future."

Xiao Shuyi said, her eyes were on the fold in her hand again, and her brows furrowed again: "Cavalry, horses, horses, horses, ......"

Faintly, a trace of inexplicable thought appeared in my mind, but I couldn't catch it.

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Shuyi appeared outside the military tent camp, and at this time, Lu Ningning happened to come over.

"General", Lu Ningning greeted respectfully.

Xiao Shuyi frowned slightly: "Your injury is not healed yet, don't take care of your injury, what are you messing around."

Facing Xiao Shuyi's call, Lu Ningning didn't care, but asked curiously, "General, is there something wrong with you?"

Just now, seeing Xiao Shuyi walking quickly, it seemed like there was something urgent.

Xiao Shuyi thought about it, and still said, "Go to Xue Yixuan."

"Xue Yixuan? Is the Xue Yixuan opened by Li Gongzi? ”

Lu Ningning couldn't help but be a little surprised, she would naturally inquire about her life-saving benefactor, but the name Li Anyi, she always felt as if she had heard it there, did the general mention him before?

Xiao Shuyi nodded: "That's right."

Lu Ningning suddenly looked excited, and begged: "General, can you take my subordinates with me?" The subordinates wanted to thank Li Gongzi in person and thank him for saving his life. ”

Looking at her expression, Xiao Shuyi couldn't think of refusing.

……

"Li Gongzi, how do you feel?"

Zhang Yuying looked at Li Anyi with expectant eyes.

"Hehe, it's worthy of Miss Zhang, it's just a natural sound, if the voice is raised a little more, I feel that it will go to the next level."

Zhang Yuying lowered her head slightly and pondered for a moment, suddenly raised her head, and chuckled: "Then the concubine will sing again, try to raise her voice as much as possible, and hope that Li Gongzi will not dislike it."

Suddenly, Li Anyi concentrated.

To tell the truth, Zhang Yuying is worthy of being the first Oiran in Huai'an Mansion, not only playing the piano well, but also the voice is very good, and singing is even more fascinating.

Zhang Yuying picked up a cup of warm tea, took a sip of Xiaoyan, moistened her throat with the warm tea, lightly opened her red lips, and was about to start singing, Xiao Shuyi and the two happened to arrive.

Both sides were slightly stunned, Zhang Yuying didn't expect that there would be guests visiting Li Anyi at this time, and Xiao Shuyi didn't expect that Li Anyi would have guests visiting at this time.

Fortunately, Li Anyi reacted quickly enough.

"Rare guest, really rare guest, come on, sit here."

His eyes swept to Lu Ningning, who was holding a gift behind Xiao Shuyi, and Li Anyi instantly understood the intention of the two.

The people of this era are simple, and they know how to repay Entu! Unlike somebody, whose eyes are habitually turned to one side, but not the cold figure, oh, I forgot, she went to see the children.

At this time, I heard Xiao Shuyi say: "This is the person who saved you, Li Anyi."

Lu Ningning's spirit was shocked, and her face was a little red, is this Li Gongzi who has a great kindness to herself? It's so good-looking.

"Li, Li Gongzi, thank you for saving your life, I am very grateful, these are some small thoughts, I hope you ...... You, don't be disgusted. ”

Lu Ningning's expression was a little excited, or a little nervous was more appropriate, which couldn't help but make Xiao Shuyi look at her in surprise and confusion, is this still the female general who is not afraid or flinching even if she is deeply trapped in the enemy?
