"In the seventh year of Shengheng, the year of Renchen, September Xinweishuo, the nineteenth Wuchen, the emperor sent the official department of Shangshu Qin Hao to sacrifice to the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan said: Yang Wei sacred, following the heavens, the merit is the people, eternally lai, so far inherited, the people are blessed, do not forget and report, now the special relatives lead the ministers, only the order has the Si Yi Mausoleum to sacrifice, but the emperor's heroic spirit, come to Xin Laige, still enjoy!" The autumn wind was blowing, and in front of the Yellow Emperor's mausoleum full of yellow leaves, Emperor Shengheng led all the ministers of the Dayu Dynasty to kneel on the ground.

Behind them were huge honor guards of thousands of people, each of whom carried a flag.

With the autumn wind, these flags are constantly waving in the air, and from a distance they look like a colorful wave.

These flags stretch for miles, and their momentum is magnificent, and the spectacle is rare in the world. In front of Emperor Shengheng was a huge table, on which were placed three huge three animals and a number of melon and fruit sacrifices.

All these three animals came to the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum to be slaughtered, and when these three animals were killed, they were immediately disposed of, and then tied with yellow silk and then carried to the table.

The three animal sacrifices are also the highest standard of sacrifice in the entire Dayu Dynasty. In front of the table is a huge bronze tripod, which is more than one person high.

The big tripod is a round belly and three legs, with a big ear on each side. The body of this big tripod is covered with various patterns, and the most central place is a picture of Emperor Xuanyuan ruling the world.

On both sides are the farming map of Emperor Xuanyuan and the map of Emperor Xuanyuan's conquest. At this time, a raging flame was already burning in the Dading, and with the autumn wind, the wisps of white smoke on the Dading quickly dispersed.

And when Qin Hao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Dayu Dynasty, finished reading the sacrificial text, he personally walked in front of the Da Ding, and then threw the sacrificial text into the Da Ding.

Subsequently, under the leadership of Emperor Shengheng, the ministers knelt three times and bowed nine times to the Yellow Emperor's mausoleum. And Fan Wensu, who was kneeling in the crowd, immediately took out the white silk silk in his arms and wiped it on his knees after kowtowing.

It was clear that he was not at ease with the mat on the floor. For Fan Wensu's actions, his colleagues around him are also accustomed to it, so no one will care about him, and his actions may violate the rules.

After the sacrifice was completed, the ministers walked to the palace more than ten miles away from the Yellow Emperor's mausoleum under the leadership of Emperor Shengheng.

When he returned to the palace, Emperor Shengheng immediately changed out of his cumbersome robe and replaced it with a relatively light regular robe.

"Your Majesty, according to the report from the front, two days ago, the grassland barbarians attacked Yongzhou City, and Du Hua, the defender of the city, led the whole city to defend the city, but the grassland barbarians were numerous, and the Yongzhou Prefecture City was finally conquered, and after the grassland barbarians entered the city, they trampled all the Du people's family to death with war horses, and then began to slaughter the city." At this time, a middle-aged eunuch was kneeling in front of Emperor Shengheng and reported the battle report sent from the front line to Emperor Shengheng.

Although Emperor Shengheng's face had no expression, the middle-aged eunuch kneeling in front of him was already sweating profusely.

Emperor Shengheng was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes to stare at the eunuch kneeling in front of him, and said lightly.

"Qiao Aiqing, now that Yongzhou City is broken, what do you think of Beisi?" The middle-aged eunuch who was kneeling on the ground slowly straightened up, then wiped the sweat on his forehead slightly, and then slowly spoke.

"Your Majesty, the Northern Division has now dispatched Sancheng to guard the various feudal town armies and vassal army around the imperial capital to Yongzhou, and this time this time this grassland army will definitely be completely killed in Yongzhou, and they will never be allowed to continue to march west to approach the imperial capital." Qiao Fuguang returned the battle plan formulated by the Northern Division and the Ministry of War to Emperor Shengheng 1510.

"Can thirty percent of the soldiers and horses be able to hold off the army of this steppe tribe?" Emperor Shengheng thought for a while and spoke lightly.

"Your Majesty, we have already calculated that now there are a total of 240,000 feudal army and feudal king army guarding around the imperial capital, and a total of more than 70,000 people in Sancheng, and this time the number of troops of the grassland tribe will not exceed 40,000, so we are still very sure." Qiao Fuguang continued to answer.

"Where are the armies of the grassland tribe except for this one, where are the other two armies now?"

"Hui Yu must return to the army, the army led by the chief Yu Jiu Lu Ying has already passed through Fenzhou and entered the territory of Zhuozhou at this time, and the other army led by the shaman of the Wolf Court has already arrived in Bianzhou at this time."

"What are the plans of your North Division and the Military Department for these two armies?" Emperor Shengheng picked up a cup of tea from the table next to him and took a sip gently.

"Back to Your Majesty, most of the troops that rescued the north before have been transferred back to garrison near the imperial capital, but some of them have been designated to other states and counties to garrison, and at this time, the mixed army dominated by the beggar army of the various vassal states has been transferred to Zhuozhou, although the number of these troops is not large, but its combat effectiveness is still very strong, so they will be used as a vanguard army to drag the army of the grassland tribe." Qiao Fuguang told all the plans negotiated between the North Division and the Ministry of War.

"In that case, how many troops do you plan to send to fight these beggars together?" Emperor Shengheng asked leisurely.

"Back to Your Majesty, this time the Ministry of War and the North Division think that these beggar troops can first consume part of the military land of the grassland tribes and then send reinforcements, as for how many people to send reinforcements, it depends on the specific situation." Qiao Fuguang said as he peeked at the change in Emperor Shengheng's expression.

But at this time, he found that Emperor Shengheng's face did not seem to have the slightest change in expression as usual, which couldn't help but make Qiao Fuguang's heart tremble.

As a eunuch who has served Emperor Shengheng for many years, he still knows Emperor Shengheng's temper very well. Although Emperor Shengheng usually seemed to be moody, he knew that the more flat Emperor Shengheng's expression was, the more it showed that his emotions fluctuated greatly.

And once he didn't speak for a short time, it meant that Emperor Shengheng was already angry at this time. Watching Emperor Shengheng sipping tea one by one, he just didn't speak, and the sweat on Qiao Fuguang's back had completely wet his clothes.

"Tsk, Qiao Aiqing, if I remember correctly, you knelt in front of me and said that you would be loyal to me and never betray, right?" After tasting the tea for a while, Emperor Shengheng slowly dropped the teacup, and then said lightly.

His tone was as gentle as spring breeze and rain, without the slightest emotion. But the content of these words was like a sharp sword against Qiao Fuguang's heart.

"Your Majesty forgives your sins, the minister is only loyal to Your Majesty in this life, only Your Majesty's dragon head is Zhan, if there is an anti-heart sky thunder and split, it is not good to die, this heart can be learned, the sun and the moon can be checked." After Qiao Fuguang heard Emperor Shengheng's words, he immediately kowtowed heavily and shouted.

Although I don't understand why Emperor Shengheng would say this. But Qiao Fuguang already felt that his neck was cold, as if a knife had been placed on his neck and could cut off his head at any time.

"Oh? In this way, Qiao Aiqing didn't have the benefits of receiving the envoys and vassal kings of various sections? Emperor Shengheng still said lightly.

It's just that as soon as he said this, Qiao Fuguang's heart jumped violently again, as if he had been pulled hard.

"Your Majesty is aware that no matter how bold the minister is, he will not dare to collude with the feudal town and the feudal king." Qiao Fuguang kowtowed again.

"I know you don't dare, but if you don't accept it, it doesn't mean that others won't send it, right, besides, the plan made by your Beisi and the Ministry of War this time looks like you're helping those festival envoys and vassal kings!" Emperor Shengheng, who originally had an indifferent expression, had already had a cold murderous aura in his eyes at this time.

Qiao Fuguang looked at the fierce murderous aura in Emperor Dushengheng's eyes, and immediately shuddered again.

"Your Majesty forgives your sins, but the ministers don't dare!"

"Humph! Don't dare, I think you dare very much! Do you know that those beggar armies were used by the imperial court to balance the army of the feudal towns and the army of the vassal kings? Emperor Shengheng slapped the table heavily, then got up and scolded angrily.

"Now you want to use the hands of the grassland tribe to cut off these beggar armies, and you also want to preserve the strength of these feudal army and vassal army, what do you want to do?" Emperor Shengheng walked quickly in front of Qiao Fuguang and kicked him in the shoulder, kicking him on his back.

"Do you really think I'm a fool?" Emperor Shengheng's face was already distorted into a ball at this time.

"Your Majesty is angry, and listen to the minister's explanation of this matter!" Qiao Fuguang, who was kicked down, immediately got up, then knelt on the ground again, and said.

"I'll listen to your quibbles!" Emperor Shengheng said angrily.

"Your Majesty, after careful investigation and analysis of the Beisi and the Ministry of War, it was found that the two armies approaching the imperial capital now should not be their main force, or that they wanted to attack the imperial capital with a feint." Qiao Fuguang immediately said quickly.

"Oh? Tell me why you see it that way? ”

"Your Majesty, after careful analysis by the Northern Division and the Ministry of War, it was found that now these two armies have begun to loot a large number of states and counties along the way before they arrive in the imperial capital, and there have even been cases of slaughtering cities, which shows that they definitely have no intention of really attacking the imperial capital at this time, otherwise they would not be like this, after all, it is basically impossible for the soldiers of the grassland tribe to fight to the death after they have looted their property." For what Qiao Fuguang said, Emperor Shengheng could still understand it.

After all, after the soldiers of the grassland tribe looted a large amount of property, it is estimated that most of the soldiers will think of bringing these goods back to the grassland.

And once they continue to attack the imperial capital of Dayu, these grassland soldiers will definitely have a high probability of dying in battle, and those property that they originally grabbed will also be taken away by others, so their families who are far away in the grassland are estimated to be unable to escape this year's white disaster.

Therefore, if the commanders of these two steppe tribal armies really wanted to attack the imperial capital of the Dayu Dynasty, they would not let their subordinate soldiers slaughter and plunder, because this would not only not increase the morale of the army, but also seriously reduce the army's determination to fight to the death.

"Go on." Emperor Shengheng listened and slowly sat back at the back of the desk.

"So the remaining grass army led by the shaman of the Wolf Court should be the real main force of the grassland tribe this time, and their target is definitely not the imperial capital." Hearing this, Emperor Shengheng nodded slightly, and then he asked again.

"So where does Aiqing think the target of their attack this time is?"

"Your Majesty's ministers and others believe that the real target of the grassland tribe this time should be the southern capital!" When he heard Qiao Fuguang say Nandu, the corners of Emperor Shengheng's mouth couldn't help but show a hint of a smile.

And when Qiao Fuguang secretly saw Emperor Shengheng's smile, he couldn't help but be shocked. He originally thought that Emperor Shengheng should be taken aback after he told the real goal of the grassland tribe's attack.

But now Emperor Shengheng showed a hint of a smile, what does this mean?

"Could it be that Your Majesty already knew that the real target of the grassland tribe's attack was Nandu?" Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out on Qiao Fuguang's forehead again.

You must know that their Beisi and the Military Department have just analyzed this answer, but it is obvious that Emperor Shengheng has known this answer for a long time.

"Your Majesty, so just now I have secretly dispatched tens of thousands of troops to Bianzhou quietly, and let them control Bianshui and Huaishui as quickly as possible, so that the grassland tribe's plan to borrow Bianshui to enter Huaishui and then go south will be completely ruined." Qiao Fuguang told all the last part of his plan.

"Let's get it all back!" After listening to this, Emperor Shengheng commanded lightly. And Qiao Fuguang, who was kneeling on the ground, was suddenly stunned, and he couldn't react to the meaning of Sheng Heng's words for a while.

"Your Majesty, this ······" Seeing the puzzled look on Qiao Fuguang's face, Emperor Shengheng didn't explain much, he just repeated it again lightly.

"Bring the army back!" This time, Qiao Fuguang was sure that he had heard correctly, although he didn't understand why Emperor Shengheng did this, he still kowtowed.

"Whoa! Wechen is going! After Qiao Fuguang walked out of the palace, a figure walked out from behind the palace.

"Father, since you know the intentions of the grassland tribe, why do you still let the grassland tribe go south?" A middle-aged man with some hair asked, and a boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old stood beside him.

"Lin Gui, your father doesn't understand the emperor's intentions, do you know the reason?" Emperor Shengheng did not answer his son's inquiry directly, but turned his head and asked the young man kindly.

"Returning to the emperor's grandfather, Lin Gui feels that his grandfather's move is to use the power of the grassland tribe to weaken the power of the southern feudal towns and vassal kings." Although he is not very old, he can quickly understand the mystery.

As his father, Mu Shuyuan, the crown prince of the Dayu Dynasty, seemed to be somewhat unresponsive.

"You see a child more thoroughly than you see, but as long as you can be like Kei Kobayashi, there won't be so many people in the court who have crooked thoughts." Emperor Shengheng said with some hatred.

In fact, Emperor Shengheng originally did not want to canonize Mu Shuyuan as the crown prince, but considering Kobayashi Kei, he finally gave the crown prince to Mu Shuyuan.

After all, the head of the Tianyi faction had shown Kobayashi Kei his face, and he gave the evaluation of the three generations of good saint Sun Kewang on the spot.

Seeing that his father said this, Mu Yuanyuan's face showed a hint of shame.

"By the way, has Lin Yang returned to the imperial capital recently?"

"Back to my father, Lin Yang is still in Luozhou, and according to the people below, he seems to have been inquiring about the remnants of the Buddhist family recently." Mu Yuyuan immediately replied.

"It seems that this kid still can't let go of his father's cause of death!" Emperor Shengheng sighed helplessly.
