Yue Zhenggang's expression was very heavy as he spoke. He paused for a moment and continued: "In addition, horses are indispensable for combat. Not to mention foreigners, they are the people of our dynasty, regardless of who they are.

No matter how high your official position is, you cannot hoard or kill privately. All other livestock must also act in accordance with government orders!"

Having said this, Yue Zhenggang let out a long sigh and said, "Your Majesty, according to my experience, this person in Guituozhuang must have ulterior motives. We must be on guard!"

Emperor Mingzhen pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "What Yue Qing said is reasonable. As the commander of the Tatar army, Boerjinsi Khan often travels around the northwest, so he must be connected with the Western Regions and other forces!"

"It seems that the battle in Huangfeng City is bound to be very difficult!" Although Emperor Mingzhen had ignored the government affairs in the past few years, he was also aware of the changing situation at home and abroad. He originally thought that Yue Zhenggang and a group of ministers would share his worries, but now it seems that

The situation is not optimistic!

Faced with the hostility of the surrounding countries, the Dichi Dynasty relied on its own powerful armaments and weapons, as well as its vast territory and large population. It had a large number of people with lofty ideals, both official and private, to defend the motherland, so it never suffered a major attack.

Setbacks and losses.

Now that the Tatar armies are united, the most worrying thing is that the various forces in the Western Regions have taken advantage of the chaos and will be difficult to deal with in due course.

Yue Zhenggang looked at the emperor brooding in sorrow, and felt very unhappy in his heart. He had commanded the power of the imperial military and security, fought on the battlefield several times, and defended the border, but now he was still allowed to be invaded by foreign enemies, and he felt very guilty and ashamed.

Yue Zhenggang bowed his head and said sincerely: "In the past, the emperor trusted the old minister, but the old minister could not share the emperor's worries and protect the integrity of the country. I hope the emperor will forgive me!"

"Yue Aiqing, don't say that!" Emperor Mingzhen said solemnly, "You are the general of the army in my court. Without you, the country would have been scattered to pieces!"

"On this occasion, we must recover the cities lost to the Tatars as soon as possible!" Emperor Mingzhen snorted coldly, clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice, "The northwest is vast, and the Tatars have very few manpower.

If you want to occupy them all, it’s not that easy!”

"What the emperor said is true!" Yue Zhenggang echoed from the side.

Emperor Mingzhen sighed softly. Now that what had happened, it was useless to feel regretful and regretful. It was better to deal with it with all his strength, so that the generals who accompanied the emperor on the march but died on the battlefield could rest in peace under the Jiuquan.

Dai Luo and Qingru watched the conversation and analysis between Emperor Mingzhen and Yue Zhenggang, and their favorable impression of Emperor Mingzhen greatly increased. Such an emperor was not at all as wasteful and talkative as the people in the past said.

Between the actions, the graceful demeanor, and between the thoughts, there is great wisdom!

Both of them were very happy. If, as the head of a country, the 95th Supreme Emperor could set an example and care about the people of his family, the country, and the country, then even the most dangerous situation, not to mention the invasion of foreign enemies, would be easily solved.

Emperor Mingzhen glanced at Dai Luo and Qingru, pondered for a long time, then waved his hand and said, "Yue Qing, how many military guards are there near Yanlin Town now?"

"Back to the Emperor, we have done an inventory this morning. From the general down, including the cooks, there are more than 30,000 people!"

"Our army numbered hundreds of thousands, but now there are only more than 30,000 left?" Emperor Mingzhen asked.

"Reporting to the Emperor, there are numerous other military guards stationed nearby, only a few dozen miles apart. If the Emperor has any orders, they can be conveyed in just a moment!" Yue Zhenggang said.

"Okay!" Emperor Mingzhen nodded and said to Dai Luo, "Dai Luo, now that Huangfeng City has been lost, I and all the troops need to go north to fight with the other three generals of the Tartar Army and recapture Damu and other cities. However, Huangfeng City is at the end.

The west is already far away from my marching route!"

After hearing what Emperor Mingzhen said, Qingru suddenly felt flustered and thoughtful.

When Dai Luo heard what Emperor Mingzhen said, his thoughts tightened, and he hurriedly stared at him respectfully and replied: "What is the meaning behind the emperor's words?"

"It seems that in Huangfeng City, in addition to some elite Tatar troops, there are also forces such as Guituozhuang in the Western Regions!" Emperor Mingzhen's eyes were full of meaning. He pondered for a moment and said to Dai Luo, "Dai Luo, I know your martial arts.

Gao Qiang, he has learned a lot while traveling in the rivers and lakes, Huang Feng City is of great significance to our Emperor Chi Dynasty!"

"But if I send my troops there, I'm afraid there will be a lot of inconvenience! So..."

Although Dai Luo is usually a bit naive, after all, he has been walking in the rivers and lakes for a long time. After hearing this, he already understood what the emperor meant. He wanted Dai Luo to sneak into Huangfeng City first, so that he could not only inquire about the news, but also give him advice at the appropriate opportunity.

ambush!

At this time, Qingru's face had turned pale, and she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate?"

Emperor Mingzhen turned his eyes slightly and stared at Qingru. After a moment, he smiled lightly and said, "Tell me what's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, Brother Chen has been buried here for a long time in order to protect the safety of the Emperor. He knows people and knows faces but not their hearts. Brother Dai and I are by your side, so it is good to have someone to take care of you. After all, with his current condition, let alone ordinary

If you have an enemy, even a top-notch master in the martial arts world will probably have a hard time defeating the enemy with one blow!"

"Yes, Qingru, what you said makes sense!" Emperor Mingzhen was indeed worried about his personal safety. Now he increasingly felt that there were dangers all around him, especially Cao Ji, who was really elusive. On the surface, he catered to laughter, but on the inside he was...

I wish I could avoid it.

"I have indeed considered this aspect, but after thinking about it again and again, I still feel that the two of you leading a small group of elites to sneak into Huangfeng City will be of greater benefit to me and the imperial court!"

"But your Majesty..." Qingru still wanted to say more.

Emperor Mingzhen waved his hand and said calmly: "I have made my decision. This matter is not only related to personal safety, but also related to the future relationship between the Western Regions and the Central Plains, and the country of Di Chi!"

Emperor Mingzhen also thought carefully before making this decision. Not long ago, the emperor had just encountered an assassination and internal rebellion that was a matter of life and death. If it was really a conspiracy carried out by Cao Ji and others, he should have restrained himself at this time!

After this battle, the guard around the emperor was naturally further strengthened. Now he was surrounded by Yue Zhenggang's trusted soldiers. They all followed Yue Zhenggang in the north and south. They were loyal and sacrificed their lives and blood for the court and the emperor. As for Cao Cao

Although Ji was a personal servant, because the emperor no longer trusted him at this time, the Dongxichang bodyguard force around him was also greatly reduced. Even if there was one, it was not the first-line bodyguard around the emperor.
