Wang Laoer discovered more than a hundred enemy scouts and was overjoyed... At this moment, they were wearing the armor of the Northern Liao Army and fished in troubled waters twice, and each time they succeeded.
The scouts also came over happily.
"One!"
Wang Laoer harvested the heads happily.
"Second brother!" the fat elder shouted.
"What are you doing?" Wang Laoer said impatiently: "I'm busy!"
He is busy harvesting heads.
"Second brother!" This time it was the thin elder, and he was screaming, as if he had encountered something scary.
"What are you talking about? What a fuss, let me see..."
Wang Laoer, who was busy with his busy schedule, looked up.
In the distance, dense black spots appeared.
The sound of horse hooves shook the earth, as if countless giants were beating giant drums.
The sound is breathtaking.
"How much?" Wang Laoer asked calmly.
The fat elder watched intently, "Ten thousand, twenty thousand...Second brother, I can't count. This is...this is Helian Feng coming."
Wang Laoer slashed his opponent to death, turned his horse's head, and said, "Run away!"
Countless cavalry are swarming in.
The slain and distraught scouts dismounted.
The neatly armored cavalrymen, covered with a layer of dust, ignored them and galloped along.
In the distance, Wang Laoer and his men were running away like crazy.
The cavalry is like endless.
More than an hour later, the motorcade arrived.
The huge carriage was decorated quite majestically and was pulled by six horses, making it look particularly relaxed.
Groups of cavalry in fine armor were guarding the carriage, and civil and military officials were in the inner circle, talking in low voices at the moment.
Chen Fangli arrived.
Dismounted and entered the inner circle.
"My lord, Chen Fangli, the King of the North Courtyard, please see your Majesty!"
The car curtain opened, and a chamberlain stood in the car, bending down and saying, "Your Majesty has summoned the King."
The carriage was quite high, and someone brought pedals over. Chen Fangli stepped into the carriage.
The carriage was like a world, very spacious, with desks, cabinets, Chen Fangli even saw a bed... He gathered his thoughts and saluted, "I have met your Majesty!"
After not seeing each other for a long time, the emperor saw that his beard and hair had turned gray again. He said warmly: "I have read Chen Qing's memorial. You are not to blame for the defeat in the first battle. Later, you attacked east and west and almost broke the city. I am very happy."
"I dare not take credit." Chen Fangli lowered his head, "This is all due to His Majesty's majesty."
"I am not that kind of emperor who is jealous of the wise and capable. I have thought about this battle and your military agility is no worse than that of Lin Ya."
There was a sense of ridicule in these words... Lin Ya was defeated by Huang Chunhui in a battle last time. Using him to compare Chen Fangli was the emperor's ridicule.
One of my ministers can rival a thief like you, and I have countless ministers. One day, you will die without a burial place.
Chen Fangli introduced the current situation, "Taoxian's Northern Xinjiang Army attacks from time to time, but the scale is not large."
"This is an activity out of the city." The emperor knew military skills.
"Yes." Chen Fangli said: "Currently the main forces of the Northern Xinjiang Army are on the Taoxian front line. However, the Chenzhou Army moved westward to guard the Linhe and Shunchang front lines."
"Yang Xuan!" The emperor squinted, "This is the person Huang Chunhui values!"
Chen Fangli nodded, "Yes."
"Back then, he was sent to Daliao as an envoy. That night, he watched the palace change and then said goodbye..." The emperor looked sad, obviously thinking of that night.
That night, he lost all his children.
He also lost the most important thing for a man - the ability to impregnate a woman.
From that night on, his aging speed made Lin Ya and others ecstatic, and shocked Chen Fangli and others.
"Your Majesty, please take care!" Chen Fangli advised.
The emperor smiled, "I just thought of Changling."
He took out a sachet from his sleeve, which contained the peace charm that Changling had prayed for him.
Chen Fangli said: "Otherwise, we can make the princess do what Emperor Wu did..." He looked up and saw the emperor was silent, and quickly knelt down, "My lord, you are talking nonsense."
The emperor has no direct descendants. The emperor's uncle and the late emperor have the same biological father, but different biological mothers. Speaking of which, it is not wrong to be regarded as a rival. But now the emperor can only let his rival take over the East Palace. How aggrieved!
What if Changling was allowed to take charge of the East Palace as a woman?
Didn't the Tang Dynasty also have a Emperor Wu, who was quite outstanding during his reign in the Tang Dynasty and was no weaker than the men?
So why can't Daliao produce one?
This is Chen Fangli's idea.
But these matters are too important. If his words are spread... there will be turmoil within Daliao, and both he and Changling will become a thorn in the eyes of countless people.
The emperor coughed dryly, and the chamberlain who served him came forward and handed the tea with trembling hands. The emperor took it and took a sip, and said warmly: "I am fully aware of your loyalty."
This is disagreement.
Chen Fangli lowered his head and said, "My lord, please leave!"
"Wait a minute." The emperor stopped him and looked at the chamberlain, "I will tell your family that you are escorting me and you will be generously compensated."
The chamberlain knelt down with tears streaming down his face, "Your Majesty, my servant... I bid farewell to Your Majesty!"
The emperor smiled, "Go!"
The chamberlain went out. After a while, someone shouted: "The chamberlain beside your Majesty committed suicide."
"I excuse myself."
Chen Fangli excused himself, got off the carriage, and saw the chamberlain from before lying on the ground beside him. He walked over, and the chamberlain opened his eyes and looked blankly at the sky.
Chen Fangli leaned over, gently wiped his eyelids, and said: "Whoever your Majesty brings out will not be able to go back. He will die early and be born early!"
He let go of his hand and closed his eyes.
The army moved forward until it reached the main camp.
The camps of 200,000 troops can be described as endless.
The camp was still under construction, but the core area was already ready. The emperor was surrounded by people and came to his tent.
He touched the big tent and said with emotion: "I haven't fought in person for many years, and I almost forgot about the light of the sword. However, the blood of my ancestors' bravery still flows in my body."
Afterwards, the monarch and his ministers entered the big tent.
The emperor sat on it, and the officials stood in several rows.
"Chen Qing." The emperor nodded.
Chen Fangli came out to introduce the situation.
"The Northern Xinjiang Army has more than 100,000 troops, most of which are in the Taoxian area. The Chenzhou Army has 20,000 troops. They are currently guarding Linhe and Shunchang. This is the situation."
Lin Ya's thin face became colder, "I heard that you lost the first battle?"
Chen Fangli nodded, "The generals under Yang Xuan's command succeeded, but they lost."
He admitted readily, but someone immediately came out to attack, "In the first battle, we should have sent out elite soldiers and strong generals, but the king instead ordered a veteran general Gu Yuan to take action. This man has mediocre abilities. Why is this?"
"Okay!" The emperor took action decisively, "Some people say who will win or lose, but who can guarantee that he will be victorious in every battle? Chen Qing's subsequent battle shocked the soldiers and civilians of Northern Xinjiang, and he was able to atone for his sins."
As soon as these words came out, unless someone came out to refute them now, they would not be able to use them to attack Chen Fangli in the future.
The people on Lin Ya's side were about to come out, but Lin Ya coughed dryly.
The emperor was satisfied to see that the ministers had calmed down. He took a deep breath and suppressed the pain in his chest. "In the face of the war, all ministers should work together..."
He slowly glanced at Lin Ya, "If the Liao Dynasty does not exist, all disputes will be illusions."
Lin Ya said: "What your Majesty said is true."
The emperor smiled.
Lin Ya smiled, with a look of sincerity on her dark and thin face.
"Rest for a few days." The emperor gave the order.
As the army approaches, it needs to stock up on food and fodder, and the soldiers and horses also need to rest.
The ministers retired, and Lin Ya and others gathered together after they left.
The emperor was in the tent, rubbing his brows tiredly, and Privy Councilor Xiao Hua said: "Your Majesty, that old dog Lin Ya may have other plans."
"I know." The emperor let go of his hand and said: "For the sake of the overall situation, we should put aside our past grudges. This is easy to say, but difficult to do. After many years of rivals, who can resist the urge to stab each other?"
"Then bring Lin Ya and others here this time..." Xiao Hua's eyes were slightly cold, "Otherwise, the army will attack at night and wipe out Lin Ya and others in one fell swoop."
"I want to do it too, but this is absolutely impossible." The emperor said warmly: "Once the action is taken, even if Lin Ya and others are prepared, even if it is successful, if the news reaches Daliao, how many people will regard me as a scourge?
From now on, anyone who is dissatisfied with me must always be wary of my cruelty. As time goes by, this person will go crazy, and by then, the world will be in war!"
"Lin Ya's side..." Xiao Hua whispered: "How about I go talk to him?"
"No need!"
The emperor smiled very calmly.
On the second day, the emperor summoned his ministers.
Not inside the account, but outside the account.
A horse was brought.
The horse is a white horse, and beside it is a wizard and several burly men.
Everyone was surprised, and someone asked: "Your Majesty, are you going to fight?"
Only before going into battle would the wizard be asked to pray for blessings, but didn't the emperor say yesterday that he would rest for a few days?
The emperor said: "Lin Ya!"
Lin Ya stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty."
"It has been many years since the founding of the Liao Dynasty. After I came to the throne, I always thought that the enemy was outside. Only today do I know that for such a giant, it is always the internal chaos within ourselves that makes it possible for outsiders to get in."
Lin Ya nodded, "Chen State was also a giant back then. If there was no internal chaos, who would dare to show their teeth at them?"
The emperor said: "I am afraid that my body will not survive ten years."
Everyone bowed their heads.
"There is no need for this." The emperor smiled and said: "I only have two wishes. One is to destroy Northern Xinjiang. Then even if I can't set foot on Chang'an, I will have to weaken the Tang Dynasty for decades."
In this way, after the new emperor ascends the throne, he can focus on the internal affairs of the Liao Dynasty and does not need to worry about the Tang Dynasty.
"The second is the internal contradictions."
But the conflict between Lin Ya and others and the royal family is too deep and impossible to resolve...unless the emperor is willing to abdicate the throne.
Therefore, the emperor mentioned this matter today, which made everyone extremely puzzled.
Lin Ya was still smiling.
Looks calm.
Extremely calm.
The emperor pointed at the white horse and said, "Kill!"
Lin Ya was shocked when she saw a big man coming out from behind the wizard.
The big man, with his upper body naked and a long knife in hand, walked to the side of the white horse and brandished the knife.
The huge horse's head fell, and the white horse collapsed.
The emperor walked over, leaned over, dipped his hand in the blood on the white horse's neck, stood up, smeared it on his lips, and spoke.
"In my lifetime, I will join hands with Lin Qing to revitalize Daliao. If you violate this oath, heaven and man will punish you!"
This is...this is the White Horse Alliance!
The emperor actually vowed to put aside his past feud with Lin Ya and others. This...
Doesn’t this give Lin Ya and others the opportunity to develop and grow?
Lin Ya's eyes brightened, she stepped forward, leaned over, soaked the horse's blood, smeared it on her lips, and said: "As long as your Majesty is alive, your Majesty, Lin Ya, will assist you in revitalizing the Liao Dynasty. If you violate this oath, both heaven and man will be destroyed!"
The emperor stretched out his hand, and Lin Ya stretched out her hand.
Hold the two hands together.
Lift it high.
The morale is like a rainbow!
Chen Fangli and Xiao Hua stood together and whispered: "Your Majesty, you are magnificent!"
"yes!"
…
Wang Laoer fled back to Linhe and brought news of the arrival of Helianfeng's army.
Yang Xuan glanced at He Lianyan, who smiled and said, "Mr. Lang, what do you think I'm doing?"
"Nothing." Yang Xuan said: "The army of the Northern Liao Dynasty is coming from afar, and they will rest for a few days at least. Chen Fangli's men will go to war in these few days, and this is the last peace. I will go to Taoxian County, and Nanhe will stay behind."
"Take orders!"
When Yang Xuan arrived at Taoxian County, Liao Jin and others were performing their respective duties. In the Jiedushi Mansion, only Huang Chunhui was left as the boss.
Huang Chunhui was humming an unknown tune, very softly. With a cup of tea in his hand, he looked like an old man doing nothing.
"Ms. sir."
"Coming."
Huang Chunhui pointed to the opposite side and said, "Sit."
Yang Xuan sat down and said, "Helianfeng's army is attacking. Do you have any instructions for this battle?"
"What are you ordering?" Huang Chunhui took a sip of warm water and softened his brows, "The army of two hundred thousand is so vast. The amount of food and grass consumed by people chewing horses in one day can drive the Minister of Household Affairs of Northern Liao Dynasty crazy.
Helian Feng has come here with determination, and he will not give up until our Northern Xinjiang Army is destroyed. Therefore, everything is for this purpose. I would like to hear your analysis on how to do it."
Yang Xuan said: "Helianfeng is coming with great force, and this trip has even gathered the subordinates of Lin Ya and others. The official thought that he must solve the trust problem with Lin Ya and others, otherwise the battle will be lost."
Huang Chunhui nodded, "He must have a way, otherwise, he will not be able to rule Northern Liao for many years."
"Yes. An army of 200,000 is coming... The battlefield has become smaller. The smaller the battlefield, the less changes there are. For our Northern Xinjiang Army, a head-on confrontation is unfavorable. Therefore, I believe that our army will still want to fight in this battle." Methods are used to continuously attack and weaken the enemy until the moment of decisive battle...
We must at least overwhelm our opponents in terms of morale, otherwise, our army is not sure whether 200,000 people versus 120,000 people."
"Well, don't underestimate the enemy and don't be afraid of the enemy."
Huang Chunhui drooped his eyelids, "The enemy needs a rest to eliminate the fatigue of the long journey. This is the critical moment for our army to destroy the enemy's morale. Are you ready?"
Yang Xuan's heart skipped a beat, "Shouldn't it be Deputy Envoy Liao?"
He has already been in the limelight, now it's time for Liao Jin's horse to establish its authority!
"Lao Liao's prestige is already high enough..." Huang Chunhui said calmly: "He wants to take over as Jiedushi, but Chang'an is too suspicious of Northern Xinjiang. The higher his prestige, the more suspicion he has. The outside world doesn't understand and always thinks that I am Suppressing Lao Liao is beyond foolish!"
In the blink of an eye, Yang Xuan figured out everything, "Did the Prime Minister and the deputy envoy deliberately let the outside world speculate that there was internal discord in Northern Xinjiang?"
"If this were not the case, who would dare to criticize me in Northern Xinjiang?"
Huang Chunhui's tone was calm, but his scornful aura made Yang Xuan's scalp numb.
Damn, I thought wrong!
How can the big bosses who are prosperous in Northern Xinjiang let others guess their thoughts?
Yang Xuan was ashamed.
"Zitai!"
Yang Xuan raised his head and said, "Ms. sir!"
Huang Chunhui raised his eyes and said, "Helian Peak is approaching fiercely, and the Northern Liao army is looking down on my Northern Xinjiang. Do you think I am old?"
