The little cutie was lying across from the desk, shaking his head and looking at Liu Mingzhi's downcast expression, his eyes somewhat puzzled.
“Dad, are you unhappy about marrying your mother?”
“No, how could it be?”
The little cutie scratched his head in confusion: "Since he is very happy, why is daddy still frowning?"
“Oh, Yue’er, you don’t understand. I really want to marry your mother. Marrying her is not a problem. The opinions of the world are not a problem at all to dad.
It’s just that the situation is unclear now.
In case Dad fails, I am afraid of forgetting, see the trick.
You just eat your cakes honestly and don’t disturb dad and I’m thinking about business matters.”
“Oh! Yue’er knows.”
Liu Mingzhi forcibly suppressed his thoughts and looked through the letters in front of him.
It was the second day of the second lunar month in the third year of Dalong Yongping, and more than ten days passed by in a blink of an eye.
February 2, the dragon raises its head.
The dragon has been silent all winter. On this day, there was lightning and thunder and heavy rain.
Also today, 60,000 Imperial Guards and 20,000 Military Guards entered Yingzhou under the command of Guan Ninghou Lu Tao under the imperial edict and the order of the Ministry of War.
Yingzhou Governor Qin Bin had no choice but to agree to the matter under pressure, and immediately sent a letter to Qi Yun informing him of all the details.
After all, after the death of his fellow villager and colleague Liu Mingzhi, Princess Bingjian became one of the most distinguished people in the Twenty-Seven Prefectures of Northern Xinjiang.
On the surface, the wife of Yipin Gaoming is also a concubine, but she is two ranks higher than the governor of Yingzhou Prefecture. I am afraid it will be impossible not to inform her.
When Qi Yun found out about this, it was inevitable that it would reach the ears of her husband Liu Mingzhi.
However, Liu Mingzhi had already learned about the matter through a report from the relevant department. When Qi Yun finished speaking, Liu Mingzhi seemed a little calm.
Qi Yun knew in her heart that her husband must have known about this from other channels, and she was not surprised when she saw her husband's reaction.
After Guan Ning Hou Lu Tao settled in Yingzhou, he was consulting the generals of the five thousand dragon guards stationed in the city on city defense matters.
After all, Yingzhou has undergone earth-shaking changes today. If you want to build it into an iron bucket, you must understand the pros and cons of the city.
One day later, Yingzhou City was washed spotlessly by the heavy rain, and the air was extremely fresh.
The remaining snow in some dark places also disappeared without a trace in the heavy rain, and the snow water mixed with the rainwater and flowed away.
Lu Tao was still listening to Chang Yuan, the Longwu Guard guard, describing the easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack locations in Yingzhou City. Several fast horses were trampling through the mud and galloped toward the Yingzhou City Gate.
“Report! We have captured the battle, broken the captives, pagodas, warriors, and fought a hundred battles. The six guards and horses of the Tussy New Army have rushed into the pass and can rush to Yingzhou within one day!”
“Report! We have captured the battle, broken the captives, pagodas, warriors, and fought a hundred battles. The six guards and horses of the Tussy New Army have rushed into the pass and can rush to Yingzhou within one day!”
“Report! We have captured the battle, broken the captives, pagodas, warriors, and fought a hundred battles. The six guards and horses of the Tussy New Army have rushed into the pass and can rush to Yingzhou within one day!”
Three consecutive loud shouts attracted all the soldiers and horses on the city wall to look down the city wall.
Looking at the four mounted scouts, Lu Tao and Chang Yuan, who were galloping towards them waving command flags, they looked at each other and their expressions became solemn.
“Hurry, open the city gate and let the scouts in.”
Lu Tao and the two men held on to the weapons at their waists and rushed towards the bottom of the city wall impatiently.
“Report to the Marquis and General, the flags of the Six Guards of the New Army have entered the pass.
It is still unclear whether all the 240,000 cavalrymen have returned."
Lu Tao looked at the scout with dry lips and smacked his palms.
“Just one day after I arrived here, they rushed into the pass at a speed beyond imagination.
Luckily I caught up, otherwise it would have been unimaginable.”
Chang Yuan sighed sadly: "In the past, Paoze may now become an enemy of the two armies. It is really the sky that has no eyesight.
Marquis Guan Ning, what should we do now? Because we don’t know where His Royal Highness will enter Northern Xinjiang from, we brothers with soldiers and horses from six cities and six guards dare not join forces privately.
The total number of troops in the city is only 80,000. If His Highness the Crown Prince orders the soldiers to attack the city due to disagreement, we will not be able to withstand it for a few days with the power of the artillery in their hands.
What I'm afraid of is that if they can't take the offensive for a long time, they will be in trouble if they lead their troops to take a detour and attack Beijing."
"Stand still, you have to stand still no matter what. I will go to the inn first to ask Mr. Xia to come to the city gate. You can discuss it with the other soldiers and consider sealing the three gates in the city."
“Yes, the general will make arrangements immediately.”
The two of them immediately separated and went about their own business.
No matter whether Prince Bingjian is determined to raise troops to rebel when he returns to the court this time, he must be treated as if he is going to rebel.
It is best not to rebel, but to be prepared in advance is to be prepared.
In the palace, Liu Mingzhi frowned slightly and looked at the letter in his hand.
‘Carrying artillery delayed the journey, and was followed closely by the brothers’ army of 70,000 soldiers.’
Standing behind Liu Mingzhi, the Queen naturally saw the contents of the letter clearly, and her eyebrows suddenly furrowed.
“What should we do? The appearance of Spiesmult really delayed the opportunity for the little goblin and Uncle Wang to stop the Northern Expedition army from evacuating.
Now that their vanguard cavalry has rushed back to Northern Xinjiang following the Six Guards under your command, plus the Great Dragon Forbidden Army stationed in Northern Xinjiang and the original elite Six Guards, you may not be able to directly raise troops to Beijing next.
So easy."

Liu Mingzhi lit the note in his hand and threw it into the brazier. He silently raised his head and glanced at the Queen.
"so what?"
The Queen frowned and looked at Young Master Liu who seemed to be indifferent: "So what, what is your tone? You don't know that this means that the soldiers and horses under your command may be delayed, and you raise
All the plans of soldiers entering Beijing for revenge will be in vain.
When all the soldiers and horses in Yunyang return to the court, even if the allied forces of the Western Region countries are all on your side because of Gumo Rongrong, the number of soldiers and horses under your command will still be 50-50 between you and Yunyang.
number.
At that time, neither you nor Yunyang may dare to start a full-scale war because their forces are evenly matched.
How can we talk about rebellion if we can’t start a war?
How do you retaliate against Li Ye for his unkindness towards you?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the Queen's dissatisfaction for him with great interest, raised his eyebrows and smiled softly: "Don't you still have soldiers and horses under your command? With the soldiers and horses under your command, don't I already have an absolute advantage?
"
The Queen's expression was slightly unnatural: "Now the remaining soldiers of our Kingdom of Jin have already been frightened by your dragon soldiers and horses. How can we dare to be enemies with your dragons for a while?"
Besides, what if you suddenly stop being enemies and turn your back and raise your swords towards our soldiers?
At that time, our soldiers and horses will be the fat meat served to your lips.
Even if they politely agree to help you, Uncle Wang and Yeluha Aiqing, the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, will not agree."
Liu Mingzhi raised his hand and pinched the Queen's cheek a few times, then walked towards the window with a half-smile.
“What a little thought you have, I know it in my heart, and you know it in your heart too. Rather than me rebelling, you would rather see me and Mr. Yun fight to the death, with both sides losing, right?”
“I and you have guessed it!”
“But you are right, if Mr. Yun really can come back in time, the fight may not start.
Because it’s impossible for Mr. Yun to prevent you from waiting for a counterattack. Even if I want to fight, I won’t be able to fight!
Lao Shuai Yun may choose to avoid fighting."
“What, you’re not rebelling anymore?”
“When did I stop saying the opposite?”
"and you"
“As the saying goes, when you see a move, you can use it wisely.”
The next day, Xia Gongming, Lu Tao, Chang Yuan and others stood on the city wall and looked to the north, "waiting eagerly" for the appearance of the six guards of the new army.
