"The two Aiqing, I and the queen and the great division are in a hurry to come, that is, let you wave your army to the north to occupy the 'Laki country', you know the truth of eliminating evil, if you don't eliminate that 'jade' neck real person, it will definitely leave a disaster, then he will jump back to Lechuan at any time, regroup and launch the Lechuan rebellion', now the troops have rested for two days and will attack the army of the 'Laki country' in the north, there should not be much of a problem. ”

Li Jin said, "Your Majesty, in fact, the minister Li Jin has long thought of capturing the 'Laki Kingdom', so he asked Lu Xianfeng to assemble his troops at Alashankou, and just wait for the emperor's holy decree to arrive and move his army north, and the minister is expected to occupy the entire territory of the 'Laki Kingdom' within one day." ”

Xu Dong said happily, "Li Aiqing, this is exactly the result I want to see, you are now rushing to Alashankou with 20,000 soldiers, and after meeting with Lu Aiqing, you will command the troops to attack the 'Laki Country' overnight, only Cao Aiqing and 5,000 soldiers will be left here, and the tiger seal is still in my hand. ”

Li Jin hurriedly got up, "Your Majesty, the minister will immediately lead the troops to Alashankou, and the safety here will be 'handed over' to Deputy Vanguard Cao." ”

Xu Dong nodded and said, "You go, with the great power teacher, the queen and I will be fine." He turned to Cao Yin again, "Cao Aiqing, you transferred five thousand soldiers to strengthen the vigilance of the Sichuan Lord's Mansion, and without my order, no one should be allowed to approach this place, you must remember it, ah." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

After Li Jin and Cao Yin left together, Xu Dong said to Xue Ying, "Great Master, remember that you and I first met here, and the two of us made a 'transaction', I will find an ancient sword for you at Xu's house, and you will give me Liu Xin's hiding place, right?" ”

Xue Ying said, "Your Majesty, the minister Xue Ying often misses the grace of the emperor's acquaintance, just now as soon as I walked into the Sichuan Lord's Mansion, the minister remembered that I broke into the Sichuan Lord's Mansion at night and asked the emperor to help me find the ancient sword of the Xue family, and the emperor did not forget the kindness of the minister. ”

"Don't say that. Xu Dongdao, "Actually, as the new lord of Lechuan at that time, I vaguely felt that Lechuan was bound to rebel 'rebellion', but the former emperor Zhao Lun did not pay attention to it, and under his will, I 'handed over' Lechuan to Sun Song to take care of it, but I didn't expect that after only two years, Lechuan was 'chaotic' again, and it intensified, and finally reached the point of being out of control." ”

Xue Ying pondered for a long time and said, "Your Majesty, the minister grew up in Lethe since he was a child, and he has some understanding of the complex background of Lethe River. ”

"Oh, yes. Xu Dong felt that Xue Ying's proposal was very novel, so he asked, "What are the benefits of this?" ”

Xue Ying replied, "The reason why there is a situation in a place where you sing and I appear on the stage is that it is a piece of 'fat' and 'meat' in the eyes of people, thinking that this place is difficult to attack and easy to defend in terms of geographical advantages, and it is easy to manage after the change of regime, those sects are obedient like sheep, and those mysterious treasures are also very attractive. Sexuality and mystery, these two things actually complement each other, and as long as you break down its mystery and make it the same as the rest of the country of Ratuo, Lethe won't have so many things. ”

He went on to say, "After the dissolution of the Black and White Sects, the 'spirit' of the local people of Lechuan was freed, and there was no rope to bind them anymore, and the sense of resistance out of self-protection was enhanced. ”

Since Xue Ying has a thorough understanding of the situation in Lechuan, Xu Dong is also relieved, it seems that Xu Li is really a smart person, and he can synchronize everything with him in terms of understanding, "Xue Aiqing, the reason why I want you to come to Lechuan with me is to 'hand' over Lechuan to you after the counterinsurgency, and it is not only me who thinks of this, but also Xu Li, the secretary of the ministry, also thinks of this." ”

Xu Dong also said, "I have also thought about changing the original pattern of Lechuan, even more daring than you think, such as opening up the Lutuo Valley and Alashankou, connecting Lechuan and other places, and setting up a governor's palace in Lechuan, you are the first governor I sent to Lechuan, not only to supervise Lechuan, but also to bring the newly occupied 'Laki State' into your hands." ”

"Ah, the emperor, the minister Xue Ying should live up to the mission, as soon as possible to govern Lechuan, the minister also has such an idea, in Lethe ban on grazing, the original nomadic habits of the North Shejiao eradicated, the land of Lethe is 'fertile', is a good place to produce grain, in the future, Lechuan will be a big granary, for the Luo Tuo ** team to supply military rations, become the Luo Tuo ** team to open the north of the front line. ”

Hearing Xue Ying say this, Xu Dong was even more amazed, he didn't expect Xue Ying to coincide with him, and also thought of the major event of annexing the northern countries, it is really the same as the hero, my Xu Dong's great cause of unifying the Infinite Sea Region is indispensable to the help of these people with great ambitions.

"Xue Aiqing, you have gotten into my heart, I have thought about the general pattern of the conquest of the Quartet, and the front line of the north will all depend on Xue Aiqing's planning, so let's do it, I will not only 'hand' Lechuan to you, but also title you as the 'General of the Northern Expedition'. ”

Xue Ying hurriedly said, "The minister Xue Ying is not talented, and he has lost the emperor's trust in the minister, and the minister should be loyal to the emperor and complete the task that the emperor 'handed' to the minister." ”

Xu Dong got up and said, "Xue Aiqing, you and I move to the Octagonal Tower, I have a secret matter to discuss with Xue Aiqing." ”

When Xue Ying and Xu Dong were talking, Zhao Xuan had been listening to the side, never 'interjecting' a word, seeing that the two of them were going out, she would follow, Xu Dong waved her hand to stop, "Queen, I have a secret matter to discuss with Xue Aiqing, you can stay in this hall for a while, let's come back after a few words." ”

He took Xue Ying out of the main hall and walked towards the octagonal iron tower, after Xu Li occupied the Sichuan Lord's Mansion, all the buildings in the Sichuan Lord's Mansion were sent with 'fine' soldiers, and there were thirty or forty soldiers guarding the tower, and the leader happened to be a veteran, and he had been a guard in the palace before, so he knew the emperor and the great teacher.

"Your Majesty, this is the emperor of our country of Luotuo, quickly bow down to the emperor. ”

As soon as the leader shouted, thirty or forty soldiers knelt on the spot, and Xu Dong hurriedly called them up, "Excuse me, I and the great division have something to do with entering the Octagonal Iron Tower, you quickly open the 'door'." ”

There is a big copper lock hanging on the bottom floor of the octagonal tower, and the leader finds a key to open the lock, allowing the emperor and the great master to walk in, Xu Dong remembers that this is the fourth time he has entered the octagonal tower, but two of them are illegal, in the dead of night, he quietly went around the back of the tower, "Whoosh." "The ground flew up the second layer of the tower.

Now that his army has occupied Lechuan, he no longer has to sneak in, and when he walked into the open iron 'gate' with Xue Ying, he felt a little proud in his heart.
