After Zuo Xiao conquered Hezhou, there were 500,000 troops, half of which were contributed by Zuo Xin. Zuo Xin was naturally so angry that his head was about to smoke.

"I knew that Li Kuo was so useless, so I didn't send him. What can I do? Is the imperial court really unscrupulous? Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while. At this time, it was good, and they all hid as turtle grandsons. In the entire early dynasty, I asked 800 times, and no one dared to answer this errand, it was a waste, a waste! Isn't there anyone who is more powerful than Nighthawk? I really don't believe it! ”

Zuo Xin roared wildly, he couldn't hold it anymore, pacing around the imperial study like a lion about to explode.

Prime Minister Xiao An said: "Your Majesty, according to the opinion of the old minister, it is better to let the commander of the Royal Forest Army, Lord Luo Yi, lead the troops to the battle." Although Lord Luo doesn't have much battlefield experience, he is also young. However, when it comes to martial arts, looking inside and outside the court, I am afraid that he is the only one who can compete with Nighthawk. ”

"Hmm!" Zuo Xin calmed down, and pondered for a while with starry eyes, "Aiqing's suggestion is good!" Luo Yi is indeed a suitable candidate. It's just that he's gone, so who will guard the safety of the capital? ”

Xiao An said without thinking: "You can transfer King Pingxi back from the Jingyuan border." Now, he went to Xiqiang to pick up Princess Pingxi and Princess Lingxiang. After he received them back to Ningdu, he would stay and protect the imperial city. Now that the two countries of Xiqiang and Dongxia are at war, the king of Pingxi naturally does not have to personally guard the Jingyuan border. What about the Unknown Divine Will? ”

Zuo Xin nodded, his face softened slightly: "This is a good idea!" Thinking that with Mei'er by Ma Teng's side, this battle can't be fought. Even if she wants to fight, Mei'er will send someone to report it. Then, according to Aiqing's idea, send Luo Yi to lead the troops to meet the Nighthawk, be sure to stop the Nighthawk's way north, and break the Nighthawk's wings alive. ”

"Holy Wisdom!" Xiao An flattered.

Zuo Xin immediately summoned Luo Yi, and Luo Yi hurried to the imperial study to meet him.

Zuo Xin said bitterly: "At present, the anti-thieves are arrogant, and after occupying Hezhou, they continued to go north and captured Dingzhou, Kyushu has lost four states, and the imperial court is in danger. Aiqing is outstanding in martial arts, resourceful, young and promising. Hoping that Aiqing would serve the country, Aiqing immediately led an army of 300,000 to the south to meet the Nighthawk and be sure to annihilate the traitors. When I return triumphantly, I will be crowned king! ”

For a long time, Luo Yi didn't receive the order, kneeling on the ground and not moving.

Zuo Xin couldn't help but panic slightly, Jun's face sank, and he asked, "What?" Aiqing is unwilling to receive the order? ”

Luo Yi raised his eyes and looked up at Zuo Xin without hesitation: "Emperor Qiqi, it's not that Weichen is unwilling to accept the order!" Weichen is willing to charge into battle for the imperial court, smearing his liver and brains, doing his best, and dying. However, the rebels are not what they used to be, and there are 500,000 of them. I think that at the beginning, in Tianmao Mountain, the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court swept away the number of 30,000 in the Nighthawk Village with 100,000 and 200,000, how magnificent it was. Today, Weichen only led 300,000 troops against the rebel army of 500,000, and he had lost the momentum before the war. In terms of strength, 300,000 vs. 500,000, Weichen is not very sure. Therefore, please ask the emperor to judge! ”

After saying this, Zuo Xin's handsome face was blue and white for a while.

"Bold Luo Yi! How dare you talk to the emperor like this! You've got stiff wings, haven't you? Prime Minister Xiao An reprimanded.

Luo Yi didn't answer, nor did he admit his mistake, still kneeling and waiting for Zuo Xin to show him.

But seeing that Zuo Xin raised his hand slightly to stop Xiao An, he hooked his lips self-deprecatingly: "Aiqing is right, the momentum of this Celestial Empire is gone!" But this is where the victory or defeat lies. That's it, Luo Yi, I will allocate you 500,000 soldiers and horses, you should be on a par with Nighthawk, in this way, will you still feel wronged? ”

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable! If he is allowed to take away 500,000 soldiers and horses, and there are only 200,000 troops left to defend the imperial city, where will this be? The prime minister said earnestly.

Zuo Xin said: "The prime minister doesn't need to say much. If I can't keep the other five states, what's the use of just defending one imperial city? It's not mermaid meat yet. So, I have made up my mind, and there is no need to say more! ”

"Wechen obeys!" Luo Yi accepted the order extremely loudly, and when he buried his head, the evil smile that could not be concealed finally overflowed the corners of his lips.
