As mentioned in the previous chapter, the hundred officials waited for a long night before the emperor arrived with the new queen Shanshan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Of course, Xiaoshan outside the palace was caught speaking English, let's not mention it.

The deacons and eunuchs shouted loudly, and the hundred officials took their places, and the emperor and queen boarded and sat down, but the queen was sitting behind the curtain!

After a courtesy of the monarch and the ministers, I only heard Emperor Dajing cough and say: "I received an urgent report from the eastern border pass yesterday, and I am afraid that the Xin State in the east is going to make some moves." ”

After saying this, the hundreds of officials exchanged heads and ears, coaxed each other, and communicated with each other.

The emperor said again: "The hateful Xin country, who is actually training troops on my border, is missing a brigade general, and actually relies on our country." The heart of the evil wolf is clearly revealed! What do you think Aiqing thinks?"

At this time, an elderly military general took the lead in standing up and said respectfully: "The shameless villain of Xin Guo clearly wants to get involved in our country, but what he said is so high-sounding. Your Majesty, the last general thinks that he should be deterred by pressing the realm with heavy troops!"

This general's point of view is not unique, and the generals present who are also old but have not received knighthood and fame have a twinkle in their eyes.

The so-called training of the soldiers and the search for the missing soldiers of the Xin State are all clear in the hearts of the hundred officials in the palace, and they are all aware of the true purpose of the Xin State, but no one has come out to make a statement, in fact, they are all trying to figure out the emperor's thoughts.

The emperor saw that the other officials were silent one by one, and the corners of his mouth did not leak a trace of a sly smile, and he was about to speak. At this time, I only heard an urgent report outside, it was a middle-aged senior eunuch, he broke in in a panic, knelt down breathlessly and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the beacon fire in the east of the city is ignited, and the old slave climbs high and looks into the east, and there are four or five beacon smoke in the distance. ”

"What?" Although the emperor was surprised, he was still surprised.

There was a commotion in the hall, all kinds of exchanges, and humming. Although I heard that Xin Guo was going to make a move, I didn't expect it to be so fast, and the minister had some unreasonable and unexpected feelings about this.

So, in one day, we actually discussed in this Yi Palace, although everyone and you and I have different opinions, but in the end we have reached the final conclusion, and then the emperor has a final word.

......

According to the deliberations of the imperial court, war was inevitable.

In this battle, Xiaoshan's father-in-law Chen Rong was still in command, and the emperor chose to sit in the capital, and Xiaoshan followed the army as a civil and military general. This is the First Route Army, all of which are in-service soldiers, with a total of 300,000. These 300,000 troops went ahead to resist the enemy. And here, the imperial court will once again requisition the men who have served in the army and form the Second Route Army, which depends on the situation of the war ahead.

......

In the early morning of the next day, Meng Xiaoshan, with the help of his wife, wore leather and armor.

"Husband, you put this on. ”

Xiaoqing took out a white bag, with a rigorous face, revealing deep worry and reluctance to her husband.

Xiaoshan was puzzled: "This is?"

Xiao Qing said while helping to tie the bag: "This is the concubine's head to ask God, I hope you will have a smooth encounter and turn evil into good fortune." ”

Meng Xiaoshan inexplicably came to a sense of happiness, he knew that this was like a talisman obtained from praying to God and worshiping Buddha in ancient times. Some people may think that this is very simple, but in fact, it was very difficult to find such amulets in ancient times. Not only does it require a pious heart, but it also needs to bow down and worship the statues of a hundred gods until the end, and it is possible to receive a gift from the host or the Taoist leader.

......

Today's breakfast in the house is in a hurry, the rare beef is not finished, and the sister Ping'er, who usually robs the old man, actually has a truce, and the whole family cherishes the time together anyway.

Soon, Xiaoshan went to the military camp with his father-in-law Chen Rong and gathered with the army. The soldiers of the army are almost all there, and the army of 300,000 is overwhelmingly uncountable.

With the order of time, the emperor also led hundreds of officials in place. Then there was another oath meeting, killing chickens and slaughtering cows, sacrificing flags and worshipping the sky.

After some cumbersome procedures, the army set off and went straight to the Rejection Pass.

As the name suggests, it can be understood that on the eastern border of Dajing, it is bordered by a desert, and on the other side of the desert is the country of Xin. Xin is a country with strong folk customs, it has less arable land resources, but animal husbandry is developed, especially horses. They are not nomadic in Mongolia, they also have a fixed residence.

This time, Meng Xiaoshan reunited with several friends, as did Guo Tian, Dang Xiangyang, Liu Yunqing, and Liu Yungui. Originally, the army was divided into different places, but it was this war that made them get together again, but Xu Rong and the three of them were missing.

When the five of them get together, they naturally catch up with the old days, and the drinks are not a problem.

All the way, the army is urgent. Meng Xiaoshan patted his horse and hurried to catch up with Chen Rong.

Although Chen Rong is old, he is still not lacking in martial arts, and he is an old man. With a strict face, a white beard hanging down, an iron armor, a red cloak on the back, and a sword hanging from his waist, he was not weak in his prime.

And Chen Rong was beside him, followed by a young general, with careful eyes, so handsome. But it is said that the general is about 1.8 meters tall, dressed in gold-inlaid white armor, decorated with a sword and jade in his waist, wearing an iron helmet with red light, stepping on black combat boots, and a black cloak hanging behind him.

Xiaoshan felt déjà vu, worried that he couldn't remember, and wondered, "Father, who is this?"

Chen Rong smiled and was about to answer, not wanting the young general, he took the lead and said happily: "Meng San'er, you don't know me anymore." Eh, by the way, why are you here?", looking at Meng San'er shouting 'father' to Uncle Chen, he was a little puzzled.

Xiaoshan was very confused, and saw the man pointing to his face and saying, "I, it's me."

"Oh, Feng Gongzi" Xiaoshan recalled that it was not who Feng Gongzi was. "Why are you here?"

"Hehe" Feng Gongzi scratched his head and smiled, but he didn't answer.

"Haha" Chen Rong smiled: "It turns out that you know him! He, the father of the left minister, was afraid that he would not grow up, so he insisted on pulling him to my side and training him."

"I see" Xiaoshan knew that the second generation of the official was joined in the army.

Chen Rong instructed: "Xiaoshan, let him follow you in the future."

There is a fart worm for no reason, Xiaoshan's head is black, but it is not easy to retreat, so he has to accept it.

This Feng Gongzi approached on a horse, and said in surprise: "Meng San'er, it turns out that you are the legendary all-round talent Meng Xiaoshan", with a look of admiration.

Xiaoshan shook goosebumps all over his body, and said uprightly: "It's your brother and me."

"Yes, yes, Brother Meng" This guy actually grabbed Xiaoshan's arm excitedly.

Xiaoshan opened his hand without missing a trace, and said, "Don't worship brother, brother is just a legend", and then fled on horseback.

'Legend', Feng Gongzi teased him, then 'hehe' smiled, hurriedly slapped his horse and chased after him, shouting: "Brother Meng, wait for me."

Chen Rong brushed his beard and smiled thoughtfully.

It's all over the place.
