"Your Majesty, there is news from Tubo that the 50,000 troops in Songzhou and the 50,000 troops who came later, a total of 100,000 troops have been gathered."

The Royal Palace of Vientiane.

Ling Shanyue listened to the report of the guards below, and muttered: "It's really fast, and in such a short period of time, a hundred thousand troops have been assembled. ”

"It's been planned for a long time!"

The old eunuch on the side said: "The ambition of the Tibetan wolf has been trying to expand eastward, and over the years, he has supported the major sects to make waves in Vientiane and Dali. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming, you have already seen through their tricks, otherwise, you will inevitably break your muscles and bones like Dali."

These words obviously made Ling Shanyue quite satisfied, and with a proud look on his face, he snorted: "A few lamas, what kind of big waves do you want to make under my nose, wishful thinking!" ”

"Duan Tianlong is also sick in bed for a long time, so he has no time to take care of these, but he has a good life, and he has a good brother, Duan Zhenglong, the king of Zhenbei, otherwise he will rely on the prince of Dali who has just ascended the throne, and he may not know what will happen."

The old eunuch nodded, "It's a pity that the king of Zhenbei is obviously a hero of Dali, but he doesn't want to ......."

"Don't understand?"

Ling Shanyue glanced at the former and said with a smile, "From the moment he decided to take that step, he was destined to not live, and he knew it himself. ”

"First, he is already a public enemy of Dali Buddhism, and his reputation is notorious. Second, with a high position, Duan Tianlong will not let him live, let alone Duan Changge. ”

The old eunuch sighed: "Knowing that he will die, he is still willing to take that step, which is worthy of being the king of Zhenbei." ”

Ling Shanyue's eyes also showed a hint of regret, but it quickly flashed, and he asked, "What is the movement over there Lin Qingfeng?" ”

The guard hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, Lin Qingfeng's 30,000 Netherworld Iron Cavalry has been assembled, and in addition, just today, 5,000 Southwest Alliance troops have also arrived. ”

Southwestern Coalition Army?

Ling Shanyue was stunned for a moment and confirmed, "Only five thousand? ”

As far as he knew, the Southwest Alliance Army had quite a few people, and in this situation, shouldn't Lin Qingfeng mobilize some more troops, why was there only five thousand?

There was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Is it to guard against Dali and himself?

Eight or nine are not far from ten, but since they know this, why do they have to publicly issue a war letter? Is it really confident, or is it willful?

The guard said: "It's really only five thousand, maybe it's just a logistics force." ”

"However, Meizhou still has an army of 30,000 led by the governor of the southwest, and if they also fight, the difference in strength between the two sides will not be so big."

Ling Shanyue nodded, that's probably it.

With the help of red-coated artillery, with nearly 70,000 troops, it is not too much of a loss to the 100,000 Tibetan army.

"Keep watching, I want to know the news from the front as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

The guards took the order and immediately retreated.

At this moment, a little eunuch walked in, "Your Majesty, Princess Zhenbei Xiyu asks to see you!" ”

Ling Shanyue wrinkled his eyebrows slightly, looking a little impatient, but he still said, "Let her in!" ”

The little eunuch stepped back.

Soon, Ling Xiyu walked in.

"I've seen the Imperial Brother!"

She first saluted, and then got straight to the point, "Brother Huang, do you want to make a move against the southwest?" ”

Ling Shanyue's face was pale, and he said: "Now it is Tubo who wants to attack the southwest, the southwest is developing rapidly, and there are also red-clothed cannons in major industries, and the husband is not guilty of his crimes, you will not understand this truth." ”

Ling Xiyu said: "So the imperial brother is also going to make a move?" ”

Ling Shanyue didn't answer, but said: "You shouldn't ask me about this, but ask your son-in-law, I told you before, if the southwest is willing to provide red-coated cannons, the Vientiane Kingdom is willing to form an alliance with the southwest......"

Ling Shanyue was actually very entangled, because the relationship between Vientiane and the southwest was good at the moment, and once the war started, the relationship would completely collapse.

So...... He didn't really want to send troops.

But other countries don't think so.

In fact, the last time it wasn't for the Funiu Mountain, Vientiane and Dali would have already taken action, and Funiu Mountain saw the power of explosives for the first time, and directly blew up a mountain, so that the Three Kingdoms did not dare to move.

Because it is impossible to determine how powerful the explosives really are, whether they can blow up a mountain with a raised hand.

And now, with the in-depth understanding, countries have finally understood that Funiu Mountain is the result of the accumulation of countless explosives, and it is impossible to have such an opportunity to really go to the battlefield.

The army is not a dead man, standing for you to blow up.

So when you really go to the battlefield, the power of explosives is not as invincible as you imagined, but after understanding this, the Dali Buddha extermination movement is in full swing.

Vientiane is also making every effort to build Lezhou.

The Three Kingdoms can be said to have been frightened off by the explosives of Funiu Mountain and missed a great opportunity.

After the redcoat cannon came out, countries were more convinced of this, because the redcoat cannon was just a weapon for throwing explosives, and there was no essential difference between them and explosives.

However, the explosives that needed to be manually dropped and arranged before were changed to direct cannon bombardment, but the power was not much stronger.

The southwest is developing too fast, and countries don't want to be scared back because of the war in Yingzhou, and miss another opportunity, so there is a tacit understanding this time.

"It seems that the imperial brother is iron-hearted."

Ling Xiyu had a deep disappointment in her eyes, "That is the case, that sister is disturbed." ”

After saying that, she left without looking back, because there was no need to continue, she knew that she couldn't control the imperial brother, so she could only insist on herself.

……

It's night!

The soldiers rested early, and they will go out tomorrow, so they must be recuperate, and the camp is relatively quiet, only the soldiers on duty are patrolling.

In the tent, the little girl was making the bed for her brother-in-law.

It's hard for this girl, when did she do this job, but now it's different, there is no one around my brother-in-law, I have to do it!

And my mother said that this is how a woman should be.

The little girl couldn't help but blush slightly when she thought about it, and the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked.

At this time, Lin Bai said, "You stay in Meizhou tomorrow." ”

Hearing this, the little girl immediately disagreed, "I don't!" I'm going too! ”

"you!"

Lin Bai directly gave her a brain meltdown, and said, "Brother-in-law is going to war, do you think it's a trip!" ”

The little girl said stubbornly: "It's because of the war that I'm going, I don't care, in case there is anything, what can I do if I am widowed before I get married, I have to watch." ”

Lin Bai rolled his eyes and said, "You'll be fine if you look at it?" ”

The little girl said: "Even if there is something, we can go to hell to be outlaws." ”

Where did you learn this, the great talent was speechless by these two goods.

Never mind! He was really a little worried about leaving these two goods in Meizhou, God knows if she would follow, with her character, it was really uncertain.

Seeing that her brother-in-law didn't speak, the little girl secretly glanced at her brother-in-law and said in a low voice, "Brother-in-law, you want to ...... Why don't we do that first...... Is that good, if there is something tomorrow, wouldn't I ......"

Lin Bai was inexplicable, "Which one?" ”

The little girl's face was flushed, her head was lowered, and two words were squeezed out from between her teeth: "Cave room!" ”
