Ma Fang immediately took the list and said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Preceptor would like to see you."
Shi Le responded: "Then come in and see if there is anything missing."
Shi Le's mind was still on hunting.
Ma Fang bowed and said, "I obey the order, so why don't you let the imperial master come in?"
Shi Le said casually: "That's it...that's all. I go to the front and you look at the list and check it carefully."
This is the harem, and it is inappropriate for Monk Kongji to enter.
Ma Fang bowed and said, "This slave accepts the order."
Shi Le stood up and walked to the front hall, while Ma Fang carefully checked the list to see if there was anything missing, and at the same time directed the eunuchs and maids to pack things.
Shi Le walked to the front hall and saw Kong Jie standing there with a sad face.
"National Master, do you have something to do with me?"
Shi Le walked over with a smile.
Since cleaning up the Foyuan Building and taking the property of Tianxiahui into his pocket, Shi Le has money in his hands and his mood has improved.
When Kongji saw Shi Le come out, he immediately paid his respects and said, "The poor monk pays homage to the King."
Shi Le smiled and sat down on the dragon chair, and said with a smile: "Why are you being so polite? Sit down."
Monk Kongji did not sit down immediately, but took out the message from Deshan from his sleeve.
"Your Majesty, take a look, this is the information sent by Junior Brother Deshan of Zhenguo Temple."
Kong Ji presented the information, and Shi Le took it, unfolded the note and read it.
The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and Shi Le's eyes were filled with anger.
boom!
Shi Le slapped the dragon chair and roared: "How dare you, this thief!"
Shi Le was angry, but Kong Ji did not persuade him to calm down, but said: "Your Majesty, Long Cheng'en dares to openly say that Xixia will be used as Emperor Luoxi's betrothal gift. This thief must have already started planning, and we have to guard against it."
"The poor monk suggested that we immediately enter a wartime state and expand our military preparations for war, especially the armaments of Zhenguo Temple."
"If Long Cheng'en wants to attack Daxia, he will definitely send his troops out of Jade Buddha Pass and capture Zhenguo Temple."
"As long as we hold Zhenguo Temple, there will be nothing Long Chengen can do."
There are many places bordering Xixia and Eastern Zhou, but the most important one is Zhenguo Temple.
Xixia gathered elite soldiers and horses near Zhenguo Temple, especially the monk soldiers of Xixia, almost all gathered there.
In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, 200,000 Long family troops were stationed at Jade Buddha Pass all year round, which was Long Chen's family fortune.
If Long Chen wants to destroy Xixia, the main force must be the Long Family Army.
That's why Monk Kongji suggested to defend Zhenguo Temple and strangle Long Chen's throat.
Shi Le stood up in anger and walked around the hall, constantly cursing Long Chen.
"He is just a eunuch who made his fortune as a noodle maker. He dares to say that he is using the king's kingdom as a betrothal gift."
"Does he think that after taking the elixir, he becomes a man? What kind of man is he?"
"Once a eunuch, always a eunuch, a thing without control."
"This is unreasonable. I want to destroy the Long Family Army!"
"Come here! Send a message to the Privy Council!"
"This king is going to send troops to Jade Buddha Pass to destroy the Long Family Army!"
"Without the Long Family Army, he still dares to make such a noise!"
Shi Le was furious. Monk Kongji knew that it was useless to dissuade him at this time, so he listened on the sidelines and waited for Shi Le to finish venting his anger.
The eunuch who listened to the order immediately summoned the privy envoy Lu Qichang to enter the palace.
Not long after, Lu Qichang hurried in and said: "I pay my respects to the king!"
Shi Le said angrily: "That eunuch wants to marry the fourth princess of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and he wants to use my king's Daxia as a betrothal gift for the fourth princess!"
"Now, immediately gather all the soldiers and horses in Daxia and go to Jade Buddha Pass. I will kill that dead eunuch!"
Lu Qichang didn't know the cause and effect, and he was confused and confused.
Lu Qichang looked at Kongji, and Monk Kongji gave Lu Qichang a look.
Lu Qichang understood the meaning and kept bending down without speaking.
After Shi Le finished cursing and his anger subsided, Kong Ji said: "Your Majesty, the poor monk thought that Long Chengen deliberately made such arrogant words to anger the King and make our Daxia riot, so that he can profit from it."
"Long Cheng'en is full of tricks. The poor monk advises the king to make long-term plans and not fall into that guy's tricks."
Shi Le sat down again and placed his hand on the armrest as usual, but found that the armrest had been broken by himself.
"The Imperial Master is right, that guy is full of tricks."
"Secret is the most important thing when marching and fighting, but this guy deliberately made it so public. He must have an agenda."
Shi Le also calmed down.
Long Chen said he wanted to destroy Xixia, and the battle to defend the country was just around the corner. Getting angry and angry would not solve the problem, so he had to think calmly.
"In this way, the Imperial Master immediately rushed to Zhenguo Temple and guarded the Jade Buddha Pass with Master Deshan."
"I will rectify one hundred thousand iron kites and reinforce Zhenguo Temple in half a month."
Monk Kongji paid his respects and said, "The poor monk accepts the decree."
Shi Le then said to Lu Qichang, the privy envoy: "Hurry up and prepare the whole country for war. Increase the number of cavalry by another hundred thousand. Long Cheng'en wants to destroy Daxia, but he is not as delusional as he is!"
"When I defeat the Long family army and break through the Jade Buddha Pass, I will destroy the Eastern Zhou Dynasty!"
Shi Le was filled with anger.
Privy Councilor Lu Qichang said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, the key to cavalry is good horses. Now the Chansui Tuzhi in the grassland have been threatening the northern border of Yuncheng. We..."
The strongest fighter in Xixia is Tie Yao.
The key to forming an elite iron kite team is to obtain good horses.
In the past, Xixia and Yeluhong had a good relationship, and the grassland could transport horses to Xixia.
It's different now. Long Chen destroyed Yeluhong and supported Tuzhi to ascend to power. The grassland is now an enemy rather than a friend.
The last time Long Chen attacked Xixia, Tu Zhi also passed through Yuncheng and raided the hinterland of Xixia, threatening Xingqing City and forcing Shi Le to return troops for rescue, allowing Long Chen to take the opportunity to breach Zhenguo Temple.
Shi Le asked Lu Qichang to form a hundred thousand iron kites, but Lu Qichang felt that he could not complete it.
Shi Le remained silent...
Xixia is most proud of its cavalry, but now it faces the dilemma of not having enough horses.
"Long Chengen is very scheming and has been prepared for a long time..."
Shi Le sighed secretly, but then he said decisively: "Then you should contact the Us country. Their bloody horses are better than the war horses on the grassland."
"Don't Us like the silk from Nanliang? Let's buy the silk from Nanliang and transport it to Us in exchange for a bloody horse."
Unable to obtain war horses from the grassland, Shi Le turned to the west to the country of Uz.
Lu Qichang nodded slightly: "What the king said is reasonable. The sweat-blooded horses of the Uz Kingdom are taller and have better endurance and impact."
As he said this, Lu Qichang secretly complained in his heart.
Us and Xixia are separated by a vast desert, so how can it be so easy?
Moreover, it is autumn and when the north is in full swing, who dares to enter the desert and die?
Just seeing that Shi Le was so angry, Lu Qichang didn't dare to refute, so he agreed first.
"Let the prince go north to guard Yuncheng."
"That Tu Zhi and Long Chengen are working together in collusion. If Long Chengen's troops leave Jade Buddha Pass, Tu Zhi will definitely threaten Yuncheng."
Yuncheng is a fortress connecting Daxia and the grassland, and Shi Le dare not fail to guard against it.
Lu Qichang bowed and said, "Wei ministers accept the decree."
Shi Le thought about it for the time being, and then said to Kong Ji: "National Master, please set off immediately."
Kong Ji bowed and said, "The poor monk accepts the order, and the poor monk retires."
Lu Qichang also bowed and said, "Wei minister, please retire."
After the two left, Shi Le returned to the harem with a gloomy face.
Ma Fang had already taken stock of his things and said, "Your Majesty, the things are ready. When will we set off?"
