Last time, he said that the border pass was urgently reported to the Jinluan Palace, and the emperor asked the ministers to seek countermeasures, and Feng Yuliang, the governor of the left capital, said that there was a shortage of generals and commanders, and the emperor saw that the ministers had no countermeasures, thinking that Lingyu was just a martial arts figure, and I was afraid that it would not be possible to fight on the march, so he said worriedly: "How is this good." Lingyu stepped forward and said: "Don't worry, the emperor, the minister has a strategy to retreat." The emperor was overjoyed when he heard this: "Aiqing, tell me what is the best plan." ”

Lingyu said: "The minister recommended the Dragon and Tiger General Lei Penglei, who had been dismissed, and asked him to lead the soldiers there. The emperor said: "General Lei has returned to his hometown, and far water can't save the fire." Chu Daoquan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, said: "Your Majesty, the minister has recruited some good generals who have been dismissed according to your will, and the minister has sent someone to inform General Lei, if you want to come, you should be on the way now." The emperor said: "Chu Aiqing, you send a fast horse to investigate, take my will to go, if he doesn't come, immediately send him to Beijing, if he is on the way, tell him to speed up." Chu Daoquan said: "The minister will handle it." After saying that, he retired and walked out of the hall.

The emperor said: "General Lei doesn't know when he will be able to get to the capital, so he has to think of a better strategy." Lingyu said: "The emperor can rest assured, the minister is willing to ask for battle, and first bring some men and horses to the border pass to retreat the enemy." The emperor said: "Aiqing also knows how to use soldiers." Lingyu said: "I know a little, the minister is sure to stop the enemy from retreating from the enemy, but after retreating from the enemy, he will guard the general who is likely to be capable, so the minister recommended General Lei." The emperor said happily: "It turns out that Aiqing has already had a good strategy to retreat from the enemy, and you said that I will definitely satisfy you as many people as you want." Lingyu said: "The minister only needs more than 200 people." ”

The ministers were all surprised when they heard this, and the emperor was also stunned, and said, "Aiqing." You're not kidding!" Lingyu said, "How dare the minister joke about this." The emperor said, "I still don't believe it." Tell me about it. How can you retreat from the enemy with more than 200 people? Lingyu said: "The minister wants to organize a light cavalry flying tiger army of more than 200 people, and the minister wants to take these more than 200 people is not an ordinary person, I want to select more than 200 people in this martial arts, and then select some capable military attaches from the army to lead the team, each with a high-quality horse, I think I can rush to the border in three or four days, but these martial arts must be crowned with official positions." The emperor said: "This is easy to do, I will crown you as the governor of the five armies now." General Flying Tiger, you can dispatch soldiers and horses from all over the country, you can draft a concerto, and I can approve it. Lingyu said: "Emperor Xie." ”

Lingyu said again: "Your Majesty, you can ask the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to dispatch 30,000 soldiers and horses to prepare first, and then set off as soon as General Lei arrives." The emperor said: "This is easy to do, just leave it to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies." At this time, Hong Xia stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please play if your sister has something." The emperor said: "Royal sister, do you want to talk about the wedding, I forgot about it in a hurry." Zhang Aiqing, let's wait until after the wedding!" Lingyu said: "It doesn't matter if the wedding is early or late. Saving soldiers is like fighting fires, how can you wait?" Hong Xia said: "Your Majesty, please listen to the courtier's sister." The emperor said: "Royal sister, please speak." ”

Hong Xia said: "Sister Chen didn't talk about the wedding, our sisters have discussed, we want to go to the border with Master Zhang to retreat from the enemy, please ask the emperor for permission." The emperor looked at Lingyu and said, "Zhang Aiqing, what do you see?" Lingyu said: "Your Majesty, it's okay to look at the ministers, their martial arts are better than those martial arts." The emperor said: "Okay, the royal sister is willing to contribute to the court and share my worries, I am grateful, but I must have an official position to fight with the army, and I will make you a thousand households." Hong Xia and the others gave a salute and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty." Princess Jade said, "Brother Huang, Sister Huang will also go with them." The emperor said: "That's to fight, not to play, you will only add to the chaos." Princess Jade said: "I promise to obey orders and listen to commands, and never make trouble." The emperor said: "The dispatch of the army is managed by Zhang Aiqing, and I am not easy to interfere with, whether you go or not is up to him." ”

The princess had no choice but to look at Lingyu and said, "General Zhang, can you bring this princess." Lingyu said: "You really obey orders and listen to commands." The princess said, "Absolutely obey the command." Lingyu said: "General Ben ordered you to wait at home for our triumphant return. The princess pouted and said, "You didn't say it." ”

The emperor said: "The Governor's Office of the Five Armies will dispatch soldiers and horses as soon as possible. The governors of the five armies all stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency." The emperor said: "All Aiqing go back to perform their duties, don't worry about the war, and retreat from the court." The ministers said: "Congratulations to the emperor." The emperor got up and retreated, and asked Lingyu to follow him to the imperial study, and Lingyu followed. The ministers walked towards the outside of the hall one after another, and Xiang'er saw that the princess was pouting, so she took the princess's hand and said, "Sister Yu, don't be angry, don't blame Brother Ling for not taking you there, we are going to war." Chang Yue'e said: "Yes! This battle is very different from the martial arts competition, every moment on the battlefield is a battle of life and death, very cruel, I am afraid that the princess will not dare to see that scene, it is simply corpses all over the field, and blood is flowing like a river." The princess said, "Don't say it, can't I not go?"

Lingyu followed the emperor to the imperial study, and the emperor said: "Aiqing, you are really sure to retreat from the enemy." Lingyu said: "The emperor doesn't believe in Weichen. The emperor said: "It's not that I don't believe in your ability, it's just that more than 200 people retreated from the enemy." Lingyu said: "Your Majesty, it's not me who is talking big, Weichen can retreat the enemy soldiers by going alone." The emperor said: "How can you retreat from the enemy alone." Lingyu said: "I just need to kill all the enemy's generals, and they will flee in chaos." The emperor said: "Ten thousand horses in the army to take the head of the general, I believe this, then why don't you use this strategy?" Lingyu said: "This is just a strategy." The emperor said: "How can this save both manpower and financial and material resources as the next policy." ”

Lingyu said: "Just like the truth we have in rectifying Li Ge Lao, it is easy to kill him, but the effect is different." If I go alone to kill and repel the enemy soldiers, there will be two major drawbacks, and I will rely on the inside, and the soldiers will become lazy and unwilling to train, thinking that as long as there is an invasion from the outside enemy, I will be fine. External enemies will think that the soldiers and generals of the Ming Dynasty are all decorations, and as long as I am not there, they will cause chaos. The reason why I want to take these martial arts with me is that I want them to accumulate combat experience, and second, to encourage them to fight the momentum, because the powerful enemy is not so terrible, and when the time comes, they will be the pillars of the army, and the third is that we can strengthen the prestige of the Ming army by winning a complete victory. ”

The emperor said: "Aiqing is a Ming for me, and I have such good intentions, I want to thank Aiqing very much, I know that you are sure of victory and I am much more relieved." After speaking, he personally wrote an edict that could adjust the soldiers and horses of the whole country, stamped it with a seal, and said: "Aiqing will take it to prepare the Flying Tiger Army first, and I will immediately send someone to make the letter of the Governor of the Metropolitan and hand it over to you tomorrow." Lingyu said: "Emperor Xie trusts, the minister will go to select people and horses now, and strive to set off as soon as possible." After saying that, he retired and left the imperial study.

Lingyu took the emperor's edict that could mobilize the soldiers and horses of the whole country, and first went to the military department, and asked the military department to send someone to inform those martial artists to gather at the university field in the morning; Then he went to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and ordered them to select ten officers with good martial arts and a thousand households in the nearby army, and then select three hundred fine war horses, and be sure to send the men and horses to the colonel field tomorrow morning; Then he went to the Ministry of Rites and ordered them to make 260 dry rations, each of which was enough for one person to eat for three days, and send them to the school yard tomorrow morning, and each of them was equipped with a water bag and ten catties of horse concentrate.

Lingyu left the Ministry of Rites and walked towards Jinyiwei. (To be continued......)
