Today's meeting in the Imperial Study is just a brief discussion, but some of the things that need to be done quickly can already be started today.

The first few things to be determined are to expand the scale of recruitment training, purchase enough grain and grass from various states, especially the prefectures, to ensure logistics, requisition the blacksmith shops and the craftsmen in the shops at reasonable prices to help forge all kinds of arrows, blades and armor, and then the remaining capable people in the imperial court, under the leadership of the national teacher Du Changsheng, will go to the front line as quickly as possible, planning to catch up with the 50,000 troops who have been newly sent to the front line, so as to reach Qilin Pass together. The specific details will be discussed at the Golden Palace in the morning of the next day, and officially announced to the world.

About two hours later, Yan Chang and Du Changsheng came out of the palace, returned to the location of the Si Tian Supervisor's Office, and when they came to the huge file room again, Ji Yuan was still sitting in the same place reading a book, and every time he read, he would read the meaning with his fingertips swiping the words, as if there was no change after the two of them left.

The two of them walked more than a dozen steps away before Ji Yuan raised his head.

"You're back?"

Yan Chang and Du Changsheng bowed first, then glanced at each other, and the former spoke.

"Mr. Ji, the war in the north is a little abnormal, I heard the military report back, saying that there are many evil and strange people among the thieves and soldiers of the Zuyue Kingdom, all of whom are the heavenly masters and sacrifices canonized by the Zuyue Imperial Court, with official titles and grades, and the army violated my Dazhen soldiers and the people with evil laws. ”

Du Changsheng nodded and added.

"It's not just as simple as what Lord Yan said, those so-called Great Heavenly Masters and High Priests, of course, there are some serious cultivators or exorcism mages, but more of them should be some demonic sorcerers, it's hard to believe that they will be willing to obey the court of the Zuyue Kingdom, but it seems that this is the case. ”

Ji Yuan put aside the bamboo slip in his hand and nodded calmly.

"Although the chaos of demons and evil in the land of Zuyue has been alleviated, it has nothing to do with the number of ancestors in the country, and now the Zuyue Song clan has suddenly become strong and confident, and it is more capable of waving the army to attack Dazhen, and there are so many extraordinary people to help...... Ji also felt a little strange about this matter. ”

Du Changsheng asked tentatively when he heard this.

"What does that mean, sir?"

Ji Yuan shook his head and said.

"Whether it is the spirit of the evil way or the loose cultivation of heroes, they are all people who have lived in the land of Zuyue or the surrounding areas for a long time, and they have been canonized by Zuyue, enjoy the official title and rank, and then go out with the army. ”

Ji Yuan's expression was calm, but the meaning in his words was very far-reaching, and regardless of the human race, even those demons and evils, most of them had been in Zuyue Country for a long time, and at this moment, they all joined Zuyue Country one after another, as if it was a country's conscription and national response, which was in line with the ethics of a country's qi number, so that Ji Yuan couldn't pick out the thorns.

After thinking for a moment, Ji Yuan looked at Du Changsheng and Yanchang again.

"Du Guoshi must go on the expedition, right? When will you leave?"

Although he hadn't said anything about going on the expedition, Du Changsheng and Yan Chang didn't feel surprised that Mr. Ji knew this, and Du Changsheng nodded and replied.

"This matter is urgent, before coming to see Mr., Du has already asked the apprentices to allocate people to gather people, and they will set off before nightfall, and will not wait until tomorrow morning to issue an edict and announcement. This time I also came to say goodbye to Mr. Ji!"

"But I finally have a little bit of the responsibility of a national teacher. ”

Ji Yuan said with a smile and stood up from the ground, Du Changsheng was happy in his heart, but his face remained serious, and he said in a sincere tone.

"The Lu of the Eater and the Loyal Monarch are not a responsibility, but they are responsible!"

"That's right, Du Tianshi must also be careful when he goes, although there are no big demons and evil involved in it, but now it is a battle between Dazhen and Zu Yue, one of the two will die, it is impossible to ease, and the battle situation will expand. ”

"Yes, I must be careful in the future, and I will definitely have more capable people to help me. ”

didn't say much more, and there was no need to talk about some of the details discussed in the imperial study with Ji Yuan, Yan Chang and Du Changsheng didn't have the leisure to accompany Ji Yuan to read books and discuss astrology and other knowledge together, and they each left in a hurry after saying goodbye to Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan stood alone in the file room for a while, and then bent down to pick up a small pile of bamboo slips at his feet, put them back on the large bookshelf not far away, and then hooked his hand, and a dozen bamboo slips on the other side of the bookshelf slowly floated down and fell to Ji Yuan's side.

This kind of bamboo slip ancient book, a volume can record not much content, several volumes or even a dozen volumes to have the content of a book with normal thickness now, the volume room is so large, largely because the book similar to the bamboo slip rare book is too much space.

Ji Yuan sat down again, took a scroll of bamboo slips from the side, and began to read the contents of it, as if he didn't care too much about the changes in the war.

There are variables, and even Ji Yuan tastes some unusual conspiracy theories, but Dazhen's move has been arranged for so long and has blossomed for decades, and Ji Yuan is more willing to believe that this move will win.

Even though he knows that there are many counterexamples, this person has his own romanticism from beginning to end, and is willing to implement this romance, that is, the so-called evil does not prevail over the good.

......

In the afternoon of the same day, Du Changsheng led a team of more than 50 people to leave the capital directly on horseback and rushed to the nearest army to aid Qizhou.

After the morning of the second day, at the four gates of Gyeonggi Province, the people and merchants who were doing business were still scattered, and some riders rushed to the four gates.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way of the center of the road, get out of the way!Drive~drive~~"

"Click...... Click...... Click......"

"Drive, avoid ahead, I have a forward guide token, and I will leave Beijing on the orders of the emperor!"

When the leading rider reached the city gate, he saw that the gatekeeper in front of him seemed to be obstructing, so he immediately slowed down and took out the gold-plated token, and raised it in his hand on horseback.

"Hurry up and let go!"

The goalkeeper saw the token from a distance, and with the attire of these riders, he did not suspect him, and they all moved out of the way to the sides, and also held spears to signal the pedestrians on the side to avoid.

The riders raised their whips again and slapped their horses, and the horses left the capital at a speed, and the guards and people on one side were talking about the backs of these riders leaving.

"Hey, this can't be another big deal, right?"

"What else can be a big deal, it must have something to do with the war in the north!"

"Hey, that's not necessarily, how can that group of Zuyue bandits in the north be my great opponents, don't worry. ”

"It's all scattered, don't stay at the city gate longer!"

......

While the people were talking, several groups of riders departed, and most of the riders set out in groups of five, starting from the four gates, and galloping around to the city where they needed to communicate.

Subsequently, new notices were posted in the city on the same day, triggering a new round of discussion among the people about the war in the north.

Tongzhou, next to the city of Changle Mansion in Gyeonggi Province, is in the corner where the old beggars were begging on the street, and there are officials who come here with Bangwen and paste buckets.

"Get out of the way and beg elsewhere!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Several beggars under the wall hurriedly picked up their broken bowls and let them go, and the official came over, one of them frowned and looked at the beggar who nodded and left, and shook his head.

"I have hands and feet, and I am not old, why don't you go to find a job to support yourself, and kneel and beg here with your nose on your knees?"

A few beggars, of course, did not dare to talk, but ran away.

"Hmph, it's better to be in the army than to waste time like this, forget it, let's post a notice!"

Painted on the rivers and lakes, the silk cloth notice was posted, this time it turned out to be the emperor's list, which has not appeared for many years, that is, it was not posted before the invasion of the ancestral Yue Kingdom.

"Hey, there's a list of emperors over there?" "What?"

"Seems to be true!" "Let's go and have a look!"

"Wait for me, I'll go ...... too"

The official list was posted on the wall, and the surrounding people and even the nearby restaurants and teahouses had specially sent men to come and see.

Two handsome girls in white with bamboo baskets on the side of the road also happened to pass by, and when they saw this situation, they also passed together, and it happened that a Confucian student was reciting the scriptures.

"Sue the world's capable people and righteous people, the ancestors and bandits came to invade the realm of our dynasty, the court raised troops to conquer, but the thieves and soldiers are many evil people, and there are demons and monsters to help, and the lives of the people who pass through are ruined......"

After listening to the Confucian recitation, the two women on the periphery glanced at each other, and then quickly retreated.

In the long embroidery workshop in the city, there is a quiet mansion, a beautiful woman with light red makeup is sitting in the courtyard reading a book, on the small table on one side is tea made of tea melon seeds and flowers, and the white loose clothes cover their amazing figures for both men and women, this is the leisure time that belongs to Bai Ruo.

It was also at this time that the two girls who were twenty-eight years old just now hurriedly pushed open the courtyard door.

"Madame!"

"What's wrong, say it slowly. ”

The woman in the courtyard did not look up when she spoke, and the two girls ran close to describe what they saw.

"Madam, there are many demon sorcerers in the Zuyue National Army, and they are still increasing their troops, and they will not collapse for a long time as many people said before, my Dazhen army is a little unbearable, and the emperor list is posted on the street, and it is recruiting capable people to help me, I heard that the national division of this dynasty has rushed to the front line in the starry night. ”

"Huh?"

Bai Ruo frowned and looked up at the two girls.

"Du Changsheng also went?"

"Hmm!"

Bai Ruo stood up, grabbed the book in his left hand and put it behind his back, and grabbed a handful of melon seeds with his right hand and threw them on the ground.

"Click......"

A pool of potato seeds spilled out a puddle of seemingly chaotic shapes, and Bai Ruo continued to calculate according to this, and commanded in his mouth.

"Reading the Emperor's List. ”

"Yes!"

The two girls have excellent memory, and they repeated it word for word after hearing it once, and when they finished speaking, the movements in Bai Ruo's hands also stopped, and their eyes were even more uncertain.

"Mr. doesn't know where he is now, but Dazhen is in a hurry, if he comes back and sees Dazhen's territory is ruined...... Although Du Changsheng has received two words of guidance from Mr., but his Taoism is too poor to withstand it, even if Duke Yin goes to the front line, he will only defend it, and he has no power to kill......"

There must be capable people in the territory of Dazhen, this is clear to Bai Ruo, but she is not sure how many there are, and how many are useful, and although Dazhen Shinto is strong, but Shinto only has its own rules, and rarely interferes in humane disputes, even if it has influence, it only involves the realm under its jurisdiction, and the god of a place is not much power.

After thinking a lot, Bai Ruo looked up at the two girls.

"We are also considered to be people who have lived in Dazhen for a long time, let's go, let's go to Qizhou!"

The two girls were ecstatic in their hearts, and they nodded in response with almost irrepressible excitement on their faces.

"Yes, ma'am!"
