Xuan Chengzi Lao Dao can cure the plague, which makes Zhao Changqing very happy, once the plague is eliminated, the anti-thieves will not be able to make much waves.

Since there was nothing to do in the barracks, Zhao Changqing didn't want to stay here any longer.

When he returned to the palace, he saw Wang Yan snuggling up to the chaise longue with a tired face, and her eyes closed but she did not sleep.

She hadn't slept much since Zhao Changqing went into battle in the early morning.

It's not that she doesn't sleep, but she can't sleep, although there is good news ahead, but when she closes her eyes, it is still the picture of His Majesty's bloody battle.

For fear that he would suffer a loss on the battlefield where the sword has no eyes or that the dragon's body would be damaged, he would be worried in his heart, causing him to lose his sleepiness.

Zhao Changqing silenced the guards beside him, and he quietly came to Wang Yan's side and covered her with a blanket.

However, this move made Wang Yan open his eyes, and when he saw His Majesty, he was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly got up and said, "The concubine didn't know that His Majesty was coming, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive her sins." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled and shook his head, he let Wang Yan continue to lie on the chair, and then asked with concern: "Aifei, look at your tired face, what's the matter?

Wang Yan didn't dare to tell the truth, shook her head and said, "It's just that I haven't had Your Majesty by my side for the past few days, and I can't sleep well." Your Majesty, don't worry. ”

She knew that His Majesty had always attached great importance to state affairs, and she did not dare to delay His Majesty's handling of state affairs because of her own affairs, and she also knew that if she was not sensible, over time, it would disgust His Majesty with ambitions.

However, the maid who has been serving her by Wang Yan's side since she was a child is straightforward, and she suddenly interjected: "Your Majesty, in fact, Concubine Shu has been worried about your safety for the past two days, so she hasn't slept well."

Before he finished what he wanted to say, he was reprimanded by the princess, "Shut up, in front of Your Majesty, where is your turn to speak as a servant girl?

When the maid heard this, she was shocked, and then she suddenly realized the nobility of His Majesty, so she immediately knelt on the ground, and said while fanning herself: "Slave and maid should die! Slave and maid should die! Please forgive Your Majesty!"

Zhao Changqing didn't care too much, waved his hand and said: "Okay, for the sake of serving Concubine Shu for many years, I will exempt you from the crime of offense, but if you want to serve Concubine Shu in the future, you must first control your mouth."

The next time I speak so bluntly, I won't be as good as I am today. ”

The servant girl hurriedly admitted her mistake.

Wang Yan said: "What are you still doing here? Do you want to arouse Your Majesty's disgust? Don't retreat!"

The servant girl hurriedly retired.

Then, Zhao Changqing stroked her hair and said, "Actually, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't know that you were so worried about me." ”

Seeing that the emperor's armor was covered in blood, Wang Yan couldn't help but feel a little scared, she stroked his armor, and asked with implicit care: "Your Majesty, are you injured?"

Zhao Changqing couldn't help but feel hot in his heart when he saw her gentleness, he picked her up horizontally, walked to the palace, and said, "It's okay, it's all the blood of the enemy." I don't get hurt so easily. ”

If it was said that when the two first met in the past, Wang Yan was conquered by Zhao Changqing because of his identity, then now, she is conquered by the strong bloody aura coming from Zhao Changqing.

It's a hero's breath.

Fighting on the battlefield, killing the enemy in blood, although the smell of blood on his body is unpleasant, this just interprets the demeanor that a man should have.

This is very different from the temperament of the scholars in the world.

More women like stout men, because of the hormonal breath in this kind of man, they will consciously make themselves subordinate to them.

Zhao Changqing stayed in the palace for two days, and most of the time, he was lingering with Wang Yan in bed.

And for the past two days, he has not asked about anything.

Until the third day, Xiao Yuming brought news and said: "Your Majesty, the plague in the military camp has been controlled, among them, there are more than 40,000 people infected with the plague, but most of them have been cured.

Our current military strength has returned to its peak. ”

This is the result that Zhao Changqing is happy to see, and he asked, "What is the movement of the anti-thief now?"

Xiao Yuming said: "According to the news of the espionage of the Sword Pavilion in the past two days, Duanzhou has gathered 500,000 anti-thieves again, and two new masters have come to serve as the vanguard general of the anti-thieves.

Although the two of them are old, their strength is basically maintained in the realm of land immortals, which should not be underestimated. ”

Zhao Changqing nodded, and after understanding some basic information, he spoke: "The matter has come to this point, for fear of regeneration, we don't need to wait, after all, we have already delayed us too much time because of the plague." ”

Xiao Yuming solemnly clenched his fists and said, "Please give an order from Your Majesty!"

Zhao Changqing said: "Quickly pass on Jian Yi and Zhao Yun to come to meet you!"

There were guards beside him who immediately went to the camp to summon him, and Zhao Yun and Jian Yi and the two of them had already guessed something in their hearts after learning of His Majesty's summons.

If nothing else, the great counteroffensive against the thieves begins!

In the palace.

A map of Lingnan Road was hanging on the wall, and Zhao Changqing, Xiao Yuming, Zhao Yun, and Jian Yi were all staring at the map at the moment.

And Wang Chang made tea for them.

She didn't dare get too close, because she knew they were discussing something big.

There are some things that I can never participate in as a woman.

Zhao Changqing took the lead in speaking to the three of them: "The battle has been fought so far, and the arrogance of the anti-thief can be said to be more and more arrogant.

Now, most of the anti-thief army is gathered in Duanzhou City, and the meaning is self-evident, they just want to keep an eye on the movement of our Fucheng.

This time, I don't want to procrastinate, once and for all, go straight to Huanglong. ”

Hearing what His Majesty meant, he should have a plan in his heart, so the three of them clasped their fists in unison and said, "Please give an order to Your Majesty!"

Zhao Changqing nodded, took out a pointing momentum and said: "Xiao Yuming, I Ming, you personally led an army of 100,000 people, passed through Kangzhou, Fengzhou, and Wuzhou, and then directly attacked the opponent's base camp Guizhou. ”

Xiao Yuming solemnly clenched his fists and said, "The last general will take the order!"

Zhao Changqing continued: "Zhao Yun, your task is heavier, I will give you 150,000 troops to pass through the Yungui Mountain Range, assist Xiao Yuming, and besiege Guizhou.

This mountain range is not good, and there are many towns around, and if you are not careful, you will be dumped by the enemy.

However, I hope you will be able to accomplish this task. Only by taking a dangerous move can this battle be ended in the shortest possible time. ”

After Zhao Yun heard this, he didn't hesitate without any hesitation, "The last general will lead the order, please rest assured, if you don't break Guizhou, the last general is willing to die on the battlefield!"

Zhao Changqing nodded solemnly in praise, then looked at Jian Yi and said, "You let Jian Er and Jian San each lead 50,000 troops to attack from Chunzhou and Hezhou respectively, remember, the real purpose is to take Guizhou." ”

This time, another 100,000 horses were transferred, which made Jian Yi a little embarrassed, "Your Majesty, in this way, the army of our imperial court will only be less than 50,000 in the capital city, will it be too dangerous to march like this?"

Zhao Changqing said with a smile: "Risky, although it looks dangerous, but I don't think I can't do it, just listen to the order." ”

These days, although he did not travel to the palace, when he was free, he would think about how to march to Guizhou.

So everything he says today is well thought out.

Jian Yihao first took the order for Jian Er and Jian San, and then spoke: "What about the anti-thief army in Duanzhou?

Zhao Changqing said: "Those rebels only know that there is a plague in our army, but they don't know that the plague has been conquered by us.

After seeing that I have arranged for so many troops to leave the city, they will definitely not give up this good opportunity, and they will definitely come to attack the city while the city is empty and the plague is raging.

At that time, we only need to defend the city and delay the pace of the anti-thief army's attack. ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and they didn't quite agree with this decision, Xiao Yuming said: "Your Majesty, leave more soldiers and horses in the city, right? Otherwise, when we go out on the expedition, I'm afraid that we will think about Your Majesty's safety day and night, which is not conducive to the expedition!"

Zhao Changqing shook his head and said, "I know what you mean, but thinking about the overall situation, there must not be too many soldiers left in the city in the city.

Only by giving the thieves the appearance of emptiness in the city will they willingly give up the idea of pestering you and attack the city at all costs.

Only in this way can I help you delay the enemy's army, let all your four armies reach Guizhou, and besiege the city of Guizhou! In fact, as long as there is a large army to Guizhou, we will win this battle.

You don't have to worry too much, as soon as I leave my sword behind to defend the city, I want him to ensure my safety. Okay, the soldiers are fast, this matter doesn't need to be discussed anymore, it's decided. ”

The matter has come to this point, and they no longer insist on persuading each other after hearing the voice, and at the moment when the mansion city can no longer be defended, Xiao Yuming and Zhao Yun also believe that relying on the ability of the Sword Saint, they will definitely be able to protect His Majesty.

In this way, a great counteroffensive against the thieves is about to begin.
