Tai Hao didn't want to report to the emperor about the rebels in Pinghe City and the raid of the General's Mansion, so he said: "There is no more information about Pinghe City for the time being. However, there is one more thing I want to ask Your Majesty, that is, how does Your Majesty plan to deal with Bi Luojing's family? ”

Xuan Cheng said: "I have handed over this matter to Zi Chuan Aiqing to deal with, my will is to send them to the Lingnan area, today at three o'clock in the afternoon, the thief Bi Luojing will be beheaded to show the public, I have ordered Bi Luojing and his wife and children to meet for the last time, in order to show my benevolence and love for the people." ”

When Taihao heard the emperor's words, his heart couldn't help but tighten. He promised Bi Luojing to ensure the safety of his family in the prison, but the emperor's will was to exile Bi Luojing's family to Lingnan, and Taihao felt that he had to fight for the emperor's release of them. So, Tai Hao arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is not a wise choice to exile the rebels' families to Lingnan. Doing so may cause more dissatisfaction and resentment among the people, leading to social instability. We should treat the families of the rebels with tolerance and kindness, and do as little harm to them as possible. If we can take a more gentle approach to these issues, then we have the potential to gain more support and trust to better safeguard the security and stability of the country. Therefore, the minister implored His Majesty not to exile Bi Luojing's family to Lingnan, so as not to face opposition from more evil forces in the court. At the same time, the minister asked His Majesty to directly release Bi Luojing's family and let them live a peaceful life. ”

Xuan Cheng listened to Taihao's words, smiled slightly, and said, "What Taihao Aiqing said is very true. I am also well aware that the consequences of exile from the rebels' families may cause more resentment and resentment among the people, leading to social instability. However, as the leader of the anti-thieves, Bi Luojing's family must bear certain responsibilities. Moreover, I have ordered Bi Luojing to meet his wife and children for the last time, which can already show my benevolence and love for the people. ”

Taihao knew that the emperor's decision could not be changed, but he still wanted to fight for a glimmer of life for Bi Luojing's family. So, he continued: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that we can take some gentle approach to these matters. For example, Bi Luojing's family can be temporarily placed in a safe place and wait for the situation to stabilize before making a decision. At the same time, we can provide them with some basic livelihood guarantees so that they can live a peaceful life. In this way, the security and stability of the country can be guaranteed, and the harm to them can be minimized as much as possible. ”

Xuan Cheng listened to Taihao's words, pondered for a while, and finally nodded. He felt that Taihao's suggestion was very reasonable, so he said: "Okay, what Taihao Aiqing said is very true. I will consider your suggestions and make a decision as soon as possible. ”

When Taihao heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He knew that his suggestion had been approved by the emperor, so he continued to say to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the trouble of the rebels is not in Biluojing, but in the two thieves of Yao Fuji and Na Shogan, and now that Yao Fuji has been beheaded, the thief has become Yao Siyi, the son of Yao Fuji, if Yao Siyi and that pawn are caught and beheaded, then the rebellion will also be quelled." And now, Bi Luojing will be beheaded for public display, so his wife and children are innocent, and the best way to deal with it is, of course, to release. ”

"I've said I'll consider your suggestion, what exactly do you want to say? Don't beat around the bush, just talk about it! Xuan Cheng said.

When Tai Hao heard Xuan Cheng's words, he took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "Your Majesty, what the minister wants to say is that the affairs of Bi Luojing's family will be handled by the minister, and the minister will do his best to ensure their safety and provide them with the necessary living security and placement. ”

Xuan Cheng said: "You will lead the troops to crusade against the rebels tomorrow, where is there time to deal with these things, just let Zi Cai Aiqing do it." ”

Tai Hao was a little disappointed when he heard Xuan Cheng's words, but he still said firmly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is very important to deal with the affairs of Bi Luojing's family. If it is handed over to the lord of Zicai City, it may cause dissatisfaction and disgust among the rebels in the DPRK and China, and even provide them with a mouth to attack us. Therefore, the minister asked that the matter be handed over to the minister, and the minister promised that the matter would be handled very satisfactorily. Although the minister will leave Thousand Winds City tomorrow with his troops, the minister will never delay the crusade against the rebels, and please rest assured. ”

Hyun Cheng pondered for a moment, then finally nodded. He felt that Taihao's suggestion was very reasonable, so he said, "Okay, I will order Zi Cai Aiqing to leave this matter to you to deal with now." ”

When Tai Hao heard this, he thanked the emperor and said, "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

At that moment, Taihao left the Zichen Hall and walked out of the palace. The palace is far away from the camp in Pinghe City, so Taihao went back to the palace of the king first and rode a horse to the camp.

The Pinghe City camp is located on an open field outside the city walls, surrounded by a towering wall. This camp covers a vast area, with a unique architectural style and a majestic atmosphere.

In the center of the camp is a tall tower of military flags, and at the top of the tower flutters a huge banner depicting a cat leaping into the air. The mythical cat is vividly drawn and vivid. The flag fluttered in the wind, as if to declare to the world the strength and majesty of the army.

The interior of the camp is divided into several areas, each with its own function and purpose. The most important of these is the command center, which is the highest decision-making body of the army and is responsible for directing the actions of the entire army. The command center is surrounded by a number of chambers with a variety of military equipment that provide strong support and security to the commanders.

In addition to the command center, there are also some barracks, warehouses, sick houses and other facilities in the barracks. The barracks are inhabited by well-trained soldiers who receive rigorous training and instruction on a daily basis in case of emergency. A large amount of food, weapons and other materials were stored in the warehouses to ensure the normal operation of the army. The ward, set up to care for the sick and wounded, was staffed by several men to provide timely treatment to wounded soldiers.

As soon as Tai Hao arrived outside the gate of the Pinghe City camp, Gu Sheng brought a few officials out to greet him.

Gu Sheng first introduced one of the tall men to Tai Hao and said, "Lord Tai Hao, this is General Bishan, the general of Thousand Winds City. ”

Bishan nodded, and after saluting Tai Hao, he said, "The general of Thousand Winds City will welcome Lord Tai Hao." ”

Tai Hao arched his hand and said: "General Bishan has worked hard. ”

Gu Sheng continued, "These are all captains of various armies in Thousand Winds City, they come from different units, and they have rich combat experience and excellent command ability. ”

The captains saluted Taihao together, and Taihao also saluted one by one.

Bishan said: "Lord Taihao, let's go to the council hall to discuss the matter of sorting out the army." ”

Immediately afterward, they walked into a council chamber together.

This chamber is a large and bright hall with a simple interior, with various military maps hanging on the walls, as well as portraits of some of the most famous generals of the Eastern Empire. Rows of chairs lined the hall for the generals to be seated.

After Tai Hao took his seat with everyone, Tai Hao said: "This is what the official thinks, the soldiers and horses led this time are still from Tianxue City to follow the official. When he came from Tianxue City, he brought 300,000 soldiers and horses, and in the first battle of Mingdemen, he lost 5,000 soldiers and horses, and there were still 25,000 soldiers and horses left, leaving 5,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Thousand Winds City. ”

After listening to Taihao's analysis, the generals all agreed. One of the captains said, "What Lord Taihao said is extremely true, we should use the soldiers and horses from Heavenly Snow City as the main force, reach the front line, and jointly crusade against the rebels. ”

Another lieutenant arched his hand and said, "Lord Taihao, although Xiaguan is not a soldier from Tianxue City, Xiaguan also wants to follow Lord Taihao to crusade against the rebels and do his part for the Eastern Empire." ”

The other generals also chimed in, all willing to serve the crusade against the rebels, and the atmosphere in the entire council hall was extremely warm for a while.

General Bishan said: "If you want to make meritorious contributions to the imperial court, it is naturally a good thing, but the emperor only allows Lord Taihao to lead 200,000 soldiers and horses to the front line, and there is no need for so many generals to follow." ”

Tai Hao said to them, "You are also loyal to the country when you are stationed in Thousand Winds City, and your tasks are more important than ours. You must not only protect the safety of Thousand Winds City, but also the safety of the emperor, the court, and the people. The capital must not fall into the hands of the rebels again. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, all the soldiers responded in unison, all of them in high spirits and high morale. Tai Hao was very relieved, he knew that these generals were good soldiers who were loyal to the country.

Immediately afterwards, Taihao ordered several captains to gather 200,000 soldiers on the school grounds, and several captains left in response. After about half a stick of incense, a lieutenant returned to the council hall and reported to Taihao: "Lord Taihao, the soldiers have been assembled. ”

Tai Hao immediately arrived at the school with Gu Sheng, Bishan and some school captains.

Taihao saw a vast school field, and a huge army had been assembled. The soldiers were dressed in armor and armed with weapons, and their expressions were solemn and solemn.

Taihao stood on the high platform in the center of the school yard and gave orders in a loud voice. His voice was loud and powerful, so that all the soldiers could hear it clearly. He first checked that each soldier's equipment and weapons were complete to make sure that nothing was missed. He then demanded that each soldier must be familiar with his tasks and duties in order to be able to react quickly and carry out orders in battle.

Under the leadership of General Bishan, the soldiers began a series of training and exercises. They were trained in foot combat, bow and arrow shooting, shield defense, etc., to improve their combat effectiveness and ability to deal with various situations. At the same time, General Bishan also organized some special training, such as climbing walls and climbing obstacles, to enhance the mobility and adaptability of the soldiers.

The whole training process was very strict and intense, but the soldiers were very serious about completing every movement and task. Their movements are uniform, and their voices are loud and powerful, giving the impression that a powerful force is gathering.

It wasn't until late evening that the training was over. Once again, Tai Hao stood on a high platform in the center of the school field and addressed the soldiers. Tai Hao said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, we will set out tomorrow to crusade against the rebels and fight for the interests of the country and the people. This is a just war, and we must go all out and leave no stone unturned. Our goal is to defeat the rebels and defend our homes and loved ones. However, this war is not just a military operation, it is a war of faith. We must firmly believe in our beliefs, strengthen our determination, and not be afraid of hardships and dangers, and not afraid of sacrifice. On the battlefield, we need to support each other, help each other, unite as one, and fight together. Only then will we be able to achieve victory. At the same time, we must also abide by military discipline, obey orders, and must not act without authorization or violate discipline. In closing, I would like to assure you that if we work together and move forward, we will be able to defeat the rebels and achieve victory. Let's fight together for the future of the country and its people! ”

In the end, Tai Hao raised the long sword in his hand and shouted to the sky: "Destroy the rebels, the world is peaceful!" ”

When the soldiers heard this slogan, they shouted in unison: "Destroy the rebels, the world is peaceful!" Destroy the rebels, and the world is peaceful! ”
