The empress looked at Long Chen with an unhappy tone.
Long Chen smiled and said: "If you can't get enough of the beauty of the Holy Lord, I will leave you."
Long Chen immediately stood up and left, and the empress got up and returned to her room unhappily.
Back in the room, Ziyun and Miaoyin were playing chess.
Seeing the angry look on the empress's face, Ziyun smiled and said, "Why, are you angry with that brat again?"
The empress said angrily: "Look at it, you know it, you never do it, you are a waste!"
Miaoyin smiled and said nothing, her relationship with the empress was not that good.
However, Master Ziyun spoke directly, saying: "Luo Xi and Ling Yi are getting married."
The empress' face slowly turned cold and she stopped talking.
...
Dazhou, the capital.
In the South Camp, Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi were wearing armor and commanding the army to drill.
They had no rest throughout the winter, and the training of the new army had been completed.
Outside the camp gate, Di Yuwei and Di Xingwan rode in, and the soldiers immediately reported to Di Luoxi.
Hearing that the two sisters were coming, Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi returned to the barracks meeting hall.
Sitting down, Di Luoxi shook off the snowflakes on her body.
There is still snow in the capital in spring and it is still very cold.
"Eldest sister, second sister, why are you here?"
Di Lingyi took a sip of hot tea.
Di Yu said slightly: "I just received a letter from my mother, saying that we are ready to attack. Let us be ready."
"You should also have received a military report that the expedition is about to begin. Let's come and take a look."
Di Luoxi said strangely: "No, how did you receive the news first?"
Just as he was talking, Zhang Qian came in from outside, holding a military report in her hand.
"Princess, a military report from King Wu."
Di Luoxi stood up to receive the military report and opened it in public.
Sure enough, Long Chen asked the soldiers how their training was going, and he was ready to launch an attack.
"The dead eunuch is ready to attack."
Di Luoxi circulated the military newspaper and all three of them read it.
Emperor Xingwan was a little worried and said: "It snowed a lot this winter, and we spent a lot of money and food on disaster relief. If we attack now, our food supplies may not last long."
In fact, Di Yuwei and Di Xingwan came here this time to ask Di Luoxi and Long Chen to tell them whether they could delay the dispatch of troops so that they could prepare food and fodder.
Emperor Lingyi understood the meaning and said: "Second sister, you are worried about insufficient food and grass and want to send troops later, right?"
Di Yu said slightly: "Yes, I also want to wait a little later to give us some time to prepare."
Di Luoxi said: "Both the queen mother and the dead eunuch have written letters, indicating that the situation on the front line is suitable for sending troops."
"As for the issue of food and grass, Wild Boar Valley robbed a lot of military food last time, so it should be able to handle it."
Everyone knows about the Wild Boar Valley.
Di Yu said slightly: "According to Queen Mother's plan, the number of soldiers and horses this time will be around 500,000. Once launched, we will have to deal with so many mouths every day."
"Once there is a problem with the logistics and food supplies, the frontline occupation will be unstable."
Di Lingyi asked: "How long will it take for eldest sister to be ready?"
Di Yu thought for a moment and said, "At least one year."
Di Luoxi stood up and said: "Sister, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and fighter opportunities are fleeting."
"The queen mother said that sending troops now means that there are fighters on the front line."
"If you wait for a year and the food is cold, why fight?"
Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi are both generals who fought on the battlefield, and they understand the battle on the front line better.
Sometimes the opportunity is just around the corner. If you seize it, you can win unexpectedly. If you miss it, you will never come back.
Di Xingwan said: "But we are not ready yet."
Emperor Lingyi said: "Second sister, you have been working in the court. When handling government affairs, you must be prudent. You must be prepared before you act."
"But it's different on the battlefield. We can't wait until everything is ready before taking action..."
Di Yu was slightly unhappy and said: "Third sister, you are saying that we don't know how to fight."
Di Lingyi was speechless and said: "Sister, that's not what I meant..."
Di Luoxi stood up and said, "That's what I mean. You don't understand. There's no such thing as waiting in a war."
"Will Li Chengdao wait for us to be ready? We are preparing, and they are also preparing."
Di Yuwei was very upset by Di Luoxi's comments. Di Lingyi smoothed things over and said, "Fourth sister, you can't say that. The eldest sister is just for safety."
Emperor Xingwan said: "That's it, we will prepare according to the Queen Mother's wishes."
Emperor Lingyi said: "The eldest sister, the second sister, the queen mother and King Wu are on the front line. They know the situation of the battle better."
"This battle is the decisive battle between me, Da Zhou and Nan Liang. Please take care of me, two sisters."
Di Yu said coldly: "Don't worry, we will be prepared for Third Sister's betrothal gift."
Xixia is Long Chen's betrothal gift to Di Luoxi, and Nanliang is Long Chen's betrothal gift to Emperor Lingyi, so Emperor Yuwei said so.
Emperor Lingyi felt uncomfortable and said: "Sister, you are the orthodox of the East Palace. Xixia and Nanliang were merged into the Zhou Dynasty. In the end, they are not yours."
Di Yu sneered slightly: "Long Chen is the regent, who knows who owns this throne."
At this point, Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi couldn't say anything else.
Di Xingwan advised: "Okay, let's go back first."
Di Yu stood up slightly and the two returned to the palace.
Emperor Lingyi sent the two of them out of the military camp.
Back in the room, Di Lingyi said: "Fourth sister, why are you talking?"
Di Luoxi said: "Originally, there is no way to prepare for a war. It's all about playing it by ear."
Di Lingyi said: "The eldest sister and the second sister have no experience in leading troops in war, so it is normal for them to not know."
Di Luoxi said unhappily: "I have never fought in a war, but I have seen wars. Do they really not understand?"
Emperor Lingyi remained silent, as there were some things that were difficult to explain.
Long Chen is now the regent, with great achievements and high cultivation. Even the empress listens to Long Chen's words.
Seriously speaking, Long Chen is a completely powerful minister.
It's normal for Di Yuwei to feel insecure.
"Stop talking, let the entire army prepare to march out and meet at Linjiang City."
Emperor Lingyi patted Di Luoxi, and the two sisters immediately sent orders for the army to prepare to leave.
The lieutenant general of the army was very excited when he heard that the army was finally going to fight.
After more than a year of rest, everyone's physical strength has recovered.
Wu Chuchu said happily: "I haven't seen my husband for a long time, when will we set off?"
When Bai Tingting heard that she could finally go to Linjiang City to join forces, she jumped up excitedly.
"It took the dead eunuch so long to say that I don't know how many women he has hidden in Linjiang City."
Dugu Jiali smiled and said, "Tingting is jealous."
Wu Xiangyun chuckled and said, "How many people are hidden? You will know if you search them."
When Han Ziping heard that the army was about to set off, he immediately ordered everyone to get ready.
Ministry of War.
Shangshu Wang Wei came out of the palace. He had just discussed with Emperor Yuwei and Emperor Xingwan about sending troops.
Wang Wei left the palace and immediately took a carriage to a house.
After entering the courtyard, Wang Wei saw Lady Qinzhen in her room.
"Master Shangshu is in a hurry, has something important to do?"
Lady Qin Zhen smiled and brushed off the falling snow on Wang Wei's body.
Wang Wei said directly: "The soldiers and horses of the South Camp are about to move out, and Long Chen is going to launch a massive attack."
Lady Qinzhen looked stern and said, "Didn't you say it will take at least another year? Why the sudden attack?"
According to previous news from Wang Wei, Eastern Zhou will need at least one year to prepare.
Now the sudden talk of attack surprised Mrs. Qinzhen.
Wang Wei said: "I said before that the logistics and food supplies are insufficient and we need time to prepare."
"But today I went to the palace to discuss it, and the eldest princess made it clear that the empress ordered the Long family army to set off and join forces in Linjiang City."
"Just now Di Luoxi also sent the documents for troop deployment. The Long family army is determined to move out." 81Zw.????m
Madam Qinzhen frowned and said, "This matter is important and I must report it immediately."
Wang Wei left the courtyard, and Lady Qinzhen immediately rushed the news to Jinling City.
After leaving the house, Wang Wei sat in the carriage, the wheels making a rumbling sound on the road.
Wang Wei heard about the incident in Jinling City.
Guite took control of Jinling City, and Li Chengdao became Guite's puppet.
Nanliang has changed.
Fortunately, he took refuge in Long Chen, otherwise he would be buried in this situation.
The war is about to begin, and Nanliang will probably be destroyed.
