"drive!"

Another sound of galloping horse hooves was heard in the distance, and the black cavalry was approaching like a huge dark cloud!

The guards beside Mu Qingcheng suddenly tightened their expressions, and one of them, a burly man, suddenly took a step forward!

"Protect Your Majesty!"

"Generals, listen to the order and prepare to meet the enemy!"

Yue Fei also condensed his eyes, raised his spear, and his troops all turned their horses to face the north!

"It's my person!"

Mu Qingcheng looked far away and saw those black riders riding in front of them. The generals led by them all got off their horses and knelt down on one knee: "General, my rescue was late, please forgive me!"

Mu Qingcheng ignored it and turned his gaze to Ning Fan: "Everything in the court has not yet been decided. I will return to Beijing immediately!"

"When the four directions are settled, if King Xuan Yong is willing to come to Dali, I will welcome him with national gifts!"

"I like your poem very much!"

Mu Qingcheng took a deep look at Ning Fan, and his eyes fell on the generals kneeling on the ground. They were so calm that no color could be seen.

"Go back to Beijing!"

Following Mu Qingcheng's order, the black mass of Dali cavalry retreated like a tide. Ning Fan suddenly looked stunned, "I still don't know your Majesty's name!"

"My lord, your majesty, the empress, is so famous that she is admired all over the city!"

"Qingcheng..."

Ning Fan was stunned for a moment, looking at the beautiful figure gradually disappearing, the corner of his mouth slightly raised: "Thousands of miles of land, why not give it to her!"

"The country is mine, and so is the beauty!"

"Emperor Dayan...it's not a big problem!"

…

North of Huainan!

On the desolate official road, the cold wind howled and heavy snow filled the sky.

A group of soldiers stretching for more than ten miles gradually appeared in the sight of the defenders of Julong City, and immediately attracted the attention of the defenders!

"This is……"

"The Dragon Banner of Dayu is the military force of the imperial court?"

"The imperial army is here, go and report to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Not long after, a figure appeared on the city tower. With a serious look on his face, he looked at the guard next to him: "General, what do you think the imperial court has for sending troops at this time?"

"Your Majesty is marching south, and now we only have 100,000 troops stationed in Huainan. Could it be..."

"Won't!"

Before the general finished speaking, Lu Shaoyang shook his head and said softly: "The imperial court will never use troops against us at this time!"

"Send out scouts quickly and report this matter to the palace, asking Mr. Ye to make a decision!"

"promise!"

The general responded and hurriedly walked down the tower, while the army in the distance also marched to the foot of Julong City!

At the foot of Julong City.

Ji Sui and Li Xiuning rode horses side by side, with all the generals following them, looking toward Julong City!

"Master Ji, this Julong City is the gateway to Huainan!"

"Lu Kan has always been wary of the imperial court. Julong City must be heavily guarded. In your opinion, will he let him go?"

Ji Sui narrowed his eyes and said in deep thought: "Now Lu Kan is leading his army to the south. According to the Jin Yiwei's intelligence, Lu Kan's adopted son Lu Shaoyang is stationed in Julong City with an army of 50,000 men!"

"We are here with His Majesty's decree. It is best if he lets us go. If we don't let him go, we will be disobeying the decree!"

"He cannot bear the charge of rebellion, and he does not have the courage to do so!"

As soon as Ji Sui finished speaking, a handsome man appeared on the tower. He stood quietly on the tower and shouted softly: "Who is here?"

"Ji Sui, Minister of the Ministry of War of Dayu, is ordered by His Majesty to guard the southwest border!"

"Lord Ji, with Prince Huai's Mansion guarding the southwestern border, everything will be safe. Thank you for your kindness!"

A sneer appeared on Ji Sui's face, and he slowly took out a golden imperial edict from his sleeve, raised it high above his head, and said loudly: "The Emperor Yu's imperial edict is here, why don't you go out of the city to receive it?"

Seeing Ji Sui suddenly taking out the imperial edict, Lu Shaoyang's expression on the tower suddenly changed, and he became extremely confused for a moment!

"Your Majesty, I must accept this imperial edict!"

"But if we accept it, what should we do if the emperor wants to tighten his military power or even allow a large army to enter the country?"

"this……"

The general next to him also showed a look of embarrassment, not knowing what to do!

"Now my foster father's main force is not in Huainan, and there are only 100,000 soldiers and horses guarding the sixteen prefectures and counties. If the imperial court is really desperate to launch an attack on Huainan, what should we do?"

"Your Majesty, they only have a hundred thousand soldiers and horses. My Huainan soldiers are all soldiers who can fight a hundred battles. They may not be unable to fight in one battle!"

"Haha!" Lu Shaoyang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Don't forget that in this southern expedition, Qingyun Hou's national army did not send out a single soldier!"

"The purpose is to restrain us!"

"If I had known this, I shouldn't have let my adoptive father apply!"

"Why!"

Lu Shaoyang sighed softly and said in a low voice: "Let's open the city to accept the order. Now that things have happened, we can only act according to the situation!"

The city gate slowly opened, Ji Sui and Li Xiuning rode up to meet them, and Lu Shaoyang led a group of city guards and officials to the front of the formation.

"Prince Huai's Mansion accepts the order!"

"Emperor's edict: Order Ji Sui, Minister of War, and Li Xiuning, Princess of Changning County, to lead 100,000 troops to guard the southwest border. All prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Prince Huai's Mansion will be allowed to pass without any obstruction!"

After hearing Ji Sui's edict, Lu Shaoyang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he was just taking advantage of it. It seemed that he was overthinking it!

"According to the order!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

With a cry of long live, Ji Sui and Li Xiuning led their troops directly into the city and officially entered the land of Huainan.

…

Southern grasslands!

The barbarian army retreated, but Zhao Changying and the other three led the army to pursue them all the way to the gate of the barbarian king's city!

Looking at the huge city in front of me that was almost reduced to ruins, I couldn't help but sigh!

"Your Highness, this move is so cruel!"

"Burn the city and destroy all households, burn food and cut off water, and the weather is freezing. Even if you can escape from the barbarian king's city, you probably won't survive more than three days!"

"I just don't know which direction His Highness led the army to!"

Zhao Changying had a worried look on his face. Now Dayu's 400,000 troops are deep into the grassland. The supply of food and grass is extremely difficult. In addition, the grassland is suffering from drought and water sources are exhausted. They can stay for up to three days!

If His Highness cannot be found within three days, we will withdraw our troops no matter what!

"Old Zhao, there is no need to worry!"

"We can't find it, which means the barbarian army may not be able to find it either!"

"Besides, His Highness only has a few thousand people under his command, so it is very easy to hide his whereabouts!"

"It's not that easy for the barbarian army to find them!"

As soon as Su Xuan finished speaking, Liu Fengping seemed to suddenly think of something, and his eyes became extremely deep: "When His Highness left the camp, he only had three thousand elite cavalry under his command!"

"But there are at least 30,000 fine armor garrisoned in King Man's city. How did His Highness capture it?"

"Um?"

As soon as he said this, Liu Fengping also looked at Zhao Changying, showing a deep doubt!

"I don't know either!"

Zhao Changying's eyes gradually became darker and he said softly: "In the letter from your highness, you only mentioned the burning of Manwang City. As for how to break the city or how to burn the city, you don't know at all!"

"His Royal Highness King Xuanyong, after accomplishing this great feat, if you can return to the capital safely!"

"I'm afraid those people in Beijing won't be able to sit still!"

"Such achievements are no less than those of His Majesty the King back then!"
