"Hmph!" Emperor Qianxi snorted coldly and said displeasedly, "Think twice, think twice... apart from this, what else can you say?"
Emperor Qianxi knew that he would be blocked, but he didn't expect that he would be met with so many people. People from the six departments stood up and asked him to think twice before he acted. Even Luo Jingtong, who was close to Ling Yun, objected, which made Qian Xi Emperor Xi felt very depressed.
If merit is not rewarded, what will the soldiers fighting in the field think?
Who would be willing to guard the border for him and work hard for him?
What's more, Ling Yun is not an outsider, he is his nephew's father, so it doesn't matter if he is given a title of marquis, in the end the title will not fall on his nephew.
However, as soon as he expressed his intention, everyone was opposed. Except for those who were silent, no minister agreed to let Lingyun become a marquis to stand up.
Even if Emperor Qianxi was dissatisfied, there was no way to change it.
At the end of the discussion, Emperor Qianxi just decreed that Ling Yun should be restored to his post first, and that after Yongyuan was stable, Ling Yun would return to Beijing to discuss the matter again.
Although it failed to stop Emperor Qianxi's idea, this was the best result. At least Emperor Qianxi did not have his own way.
Official Lingyun was reinstated, and Qiu Yingcai and Luo Jingtong also received varying degrees of rewards, which made many people envious.
After retiring from the court, exit the main hall according to the official hierarchy.
The officials at the back were full of praise for Ling Yun's military exploits, and some couldn't help but lament that they had missed the opportunity.
"Hey, I wish I had recommended Ling Yun."
"If the imperial court was looking for a general, and we had stood up to recommend Ling Yun, maybe we could have gone a step further." The person who muttered was a first-grade and fifth-rank official. Because there was no one in the court to support him, he was suspended at this rank for five years. , failed to make any progress.
Hearing Ling Yun's military exploits again today, he couldn't help but feel emotional again, why Ling Yun could always make military exploits repeatedly, and get the exclusive favor of Emperor Qianxi as he climbed up the official ranks.
Why can't he?
"Master Xiao, please keep your voice down, be careful if your words fall into other people's ears and cause trouble for yourself..." The colleague may have heard this man's muttering and quickly reminded him in a low voice.
Feelings, envy, etc. happen all the time in court.
This situation often arouses the envy of officials with low status and no hope of promotion.
In Fengxiang City, Ling Yun once again ordered to assemble the army, hoping to seek a decisive battle with the Xixia army.
Rather than saying it was a decisive battle, it was better to say that he wanted to teach Xixia a lesson so that Xixia would no longer dare to peek into the large Yongyuan Province.
In this way, Yongyuan is completely stable and he can return to Beijing.
The reason why Ling Yun wanted to go back to Beijing was because he wanted to go back and find out one thing, and that was about Zhao Ningxue.
What is the relationship between Zhao Ningxue's children and him?
If it was really his child, what else would he do?
Marry her?
Ling Yun really thought about it this way.
But if you don’t marry, what will happen to your children?
And counting the days, the child should have been born.
So he was a little anxious.
Ling Yun has ordered an army to be assembled. Han Qinhu and Luo Zhishang had an army of 40,000. Ling Yun removed 20,000 and asked Luo Zhishang to lead it, and his army already reached more than 80,000.
After gathering, there will be a hundred thousand people.
Taking advantage of the high morale, Ling Yun planned to attack Lanzhou.
The reason why Ling Yun dared to do this was because of Guo Yixiu's plundering battle. When the Xixia cavalry saw Daqian's flag, only a few people dared to resist... This simply shows that the Xixia army was already afraid of Daqian's army and did not dare to Confront it.
So after thinking again and again, Ling Yun decided to pursue the victory.
The next day, Ling Yun appeared at the military camp.
By this time, the army had already been assembled.
Ling Yun slowly walked up to the general platform, looking at the dark army with no end in sight, and felt very proud.
This is his army, already one hundred thousand strong.
This was his confidence. With an army of 100,000 people, he really had the strength to challenge Xixia head-on.
According to his understanding, Lanzhou City only has 50,000 people.
One hundred thousand versus fifty thousand, with morale suppression and weapon suppression...
Ling Yun faintly saw the victorious scales waving to him.
"Xixia broke its word, broke the alliance without authorization, and invaded our territory in Daqian. This crime is extremely heinous..."
"In this expedition, we not only want to knock down the arrogance of Xixia, but also let the Xixia people understand that my great talents are not something they can bully, and my vast territory is not something they can occupy..." Ling Yun said with all his strength. roared.
Without little bees, we can only rely on roaring.
"Those who offend me will be punished no matter how far away they are!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the whole room reached its peak.
"Those who offend me will be punished no matter how far away they are!"
"Anyone who offends me will be punished no matter how far away!" The soldiers, surrounded by darkness, erupted with an explosion that shocked the world.
The fighting spirit of the soldiers has been completely aroused, and all that is left is to kill the enemy and defeat the Xixia people completely.
"Go to war!" Following Ling Yun's order, a hundred thousand troops began to march out.
Guo Yixiu was the vanguard, leading 30,000 people and marching toward Lanzhou City in a mighty manner.
Inside Lanzhou City.
Li Shiqi was thinking about countermeasures and what he should do to defeat Daqian's army and retake Fengxiang. But before he could think of a countermeasure, Daqian made another move.
"It's not good, it's not good..." A rapid voice came into the inner palace and fell into Li Shiqi's ear, making him frown.
During this period, he was most afraid of receiving news.
Because whenever there is news, it is definitely bad, without exception.
It gave him a headache and a feeling of torment.
Now it's like this again.
Before the speaker arrived, Li Shiqi already had a premonition that something big was going to happen.
Sure enough, when the guards came to him and told him the news in horror, he felt panic and uneasiness.
"What did you say?"
"Ling Yun sent 150,000 troops to attack Lanzhou?" Li Shiqi stared at the guards, as if he had heard terrible news.
"Da Gan, Ling Yun...how dare he?" Li Shiqi gritted his teeth and paused for a long time, and finally roared angrily.
In fact, Lingyun only had more than 100,000 troops, but in order to frighten the Xixia Army in Lanzhou City, he lied about sending 150,000 troops.
This will undoubtedly bring oppression and fear to the Xixia army.
When Li Shiqi heard the news, he was shocked and more terrified.
I originally thought that if they retreated to Lanzhou City, as long as they did not take the initiative to attack Dagan, no matter how powerful Dagan was, they would not be able to do anything to them.
Who would have thought that the enemy general Ling Yun was so bold that he sent 150,000 troops to attack Lanzhou City.
This made Li Shiqi extremely angry, thinking that Ling Yun was too self-righteous and daring to take them seriously.
"Damn it, damn it..." Li Shiqi continued to roar.
Lanzhou City must not fall. This is the gathering city of the Xixia border. Troops and food are stored here. It can provide supplies and training for the Xixia cavalry. It is also the most important strategic city for Xixia to deal with Daqian.
