Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 323

Wuming smiled without saying a word, clearly acquiescing.

The door master was so angry that he had a beautiful and enchanting face, blue, white, red and purple, changing colors back and forth, the so-called losing his wife and losing his army, probably so?

Although he is not short of money, but 10 taels is not a lot, it is so cheap Wuming, what is even more exasperating is that he has arranged everything, not only can not separate Wuming and the empress, but also make their relationship more stable, what else can he do? Do?
Wuming didn't care about the door master's anger. He glanced at the door master blankly, turned around and flew to the bank, and disappeared on the bank of Suzhou Creek in the blink of an eye.

After Wuming left, the owner of the door stood on the bow of the boat and blew the cold wind for a long time before he managed to calm down.

He clapped his palms, and a figure appeared from behind the lush bushes on the other side of the river, flew towards the painting boat, and landed lightly in front of the gatekeeper.

The head of the sect stared at the beautiful face of Shura girl, his expression kept changing.

Asura's scalp was numb from his stare, and she asked cautiously, "Does the master have any orders?"

Ever since she was fed poison by the sect master last time, her appearance was ruined and her voice became hoarse, the Asura girl has been acting with her tail between her legs, being extremely cautious, for fear of angering the sect master again, and injecting her with a poison.

"You said, how can we separate a man and a woman who love each other?"

The Asura girl thought for a while and said, "Either one of them changes his mind, or one of them dies."

The corner of the door master's bright red mouth was raised a little bit, and a weird smile appeared, which made Shura's hair stand on end. Just when she was at a loss, the door master said, "Since you said so, then you will kill me!" Drop him."

The Asura girl was taken aback, "Who?"

"nameless."

The Asura girl was dumbfounded, and said, "Master, this subordinate is no match for him."

"Then I don't care about it. I only care about the result, regardless of the process. Either he dies or you die. You choose the one yourself."

Thinking of Wuming's skill and vigilance, Shura's face turned pale, let alone killing him, I'm afraid she couldn't even get close to him.

"Go."

The sect master gave the order coldly, looking at the indifferent sect master, the Asura girl gritted her teeth, turned and left.

Seeing the staggering back of the Shura girl, who almost fell into the river when she was flying across the Suzhou Creek, the door master twitched the corners of his mouth, and his eyes became dark.

Of course he knew that the Asura girl couldn't kill Wuming, he just hated Wuming and wanted the Asura girl to entangle him and make him sick.

Gusu in the south of the Yangtze River is more than a thousand miles away from the imperial capital, Feng Jin hastened all the way without stopping day and night, and it only took one day and one night to arrive at the imperial capital.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the south gate, he saw Pei Xiu and six first-rank ministers waiting at the gate to welcome the queen back.

Seeing that although Feng Jin looked tired, but still in good spirits, Pei Xiu was even more sure that the empress was just pretending to be sick and digging a trap for him.

"Your Majesty, please see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty—"

Long live before they could say it, Feng Jin's fast horse galloped past them, and amidst the dust, the queen's figure had already entered the city gate, "Stop talking nonsense! Go to the palace to discuss!"

Everyone looked at each other, but they saw that Pei Xiu had already got on the horse and was galloping towards the palace, and the rest of them got on the horse and the carriage, and hurried to the palace.

Once back in the palace, Feng Jin didn't even have time to change her clothes, she just washed her face with ice water in a hurry to wake herself up, and hurried to the imperial study to discuss matters.

As soon as they entered the imperial study room, Pei Xiu and six first-rank ministers were already waiting there, and when they saw Feng Jin approaching, they wanted to salute.

Feng Jin hastily raised her hand, "It's urgent, so I'm omitting all those formalities!"

As soon as she sat down on the dragon chair, she asked, "How is it now?"

Master Qi took a step forward, "Since the old minister received the family letter from Qi'er the day before yesterday, he couldn't wait to find the dark guard, and asked the dark guard to send a letter from Feige to inform His Majesty about it. After the Prime Minister knew about it, he sent spies overnight Go to Beijiang to inquire about news, since yesterday, news from Beijiang has come in one after another, and the situation is very bad."

Feng Jin's eyes darkened, "Say!"

Li Yi clapped his palms, and two sergeants carried a huge map into the imperial study.

Li Yi pointed to the entire defense line in the northern border, "Look, Your Majesty, the defense line in the northern border of Dazhou is more than 1000 miles in total, divided into three sections, guarded by the three brothers Zhong Mo, and the most important one guarded by General Zhong Mo. In the middle section, the left section was guarded by the mighty general Zhong Shu who died in battle, and the right section was guarded by the seriously injured general Shenwei."

"The Huns' iron cavalry rushed in from this section?"

Feng Jin pointed to the section guarded by Zhongshu, and Li Yi nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty, Zhongshu has a total of [-] troops, and the Xiongnu's [-] cavalry rushed directly over, plus..."

"Add what?"

Li Yi subconsciously looked at Pei Xiu, this scene fell into Feng Jin's eyes, her sharp and deep eyes shot at Pei Xiu, "Pei Qing, tell me!"

Pei Xiu took a step forward, "Additionally, there were traitors in Dazhou, and some people cooperated with the Xiongnu inside and outside. On the night when the Xiongnu's [-] cavalry attacked the defense line, thousands of men in black appeared from nowhere and rushed into the barracks of Zhong's army. Killing people and setting fire broke through the formation of Zhong's army, and under attack from both sides, the Xiongnu cavalry were able to cross the line of defense and break into the territory of Dazhou."

Feng Jin stared at Li Yi coldly, "You didn't dare to say it just now, because you were afraid that I might suspect that the traitor is Pei Party?"

Li Yi didn't dare to say anything, Feng Jin snorted coldly, "I'm not that stupid!"

Pei Xiu's eyes flickered slightly, he didn't expect that the queen would still believe him at this time.

"Although Pei Qing is ambitious and wants to usurp the throne, Pei Qing will not make fun of the country and the safety of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty and lure the Hun army in."

When Feng Jin spoke bluntly about plotting to usurp the throne, both Li Yi and Mr. He looked a little unhappy, and Pei Xiu lowered his eyes and said nothing.

"Leading wolves into the house, and once wolves come in, it's not so easy to drive them away. Pei Qing knows this as well as I do, so I believe Pei Qing will not do such a stupid thing."

It was very quiet in the imperial study room, no one said a word.

"The traitor must be found out, but now the Xiongnu's cavalry has broken into Dazhou, killing people, setting fire, burning, killing and looting, once the defense line is broken, several important towns along the road can't stop it, and the Huns' [-] cavalry are like no one. They are coming straight to the imperial capital, and the most urgent task is to suppress their momentum."

Li Yi thought for a while, "Your Majesty, why don't you call General Zhong Mo over here?"

Master Qi immediately objected, "It's not right! What if this is the Xiongnu's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain? What if Zhong Mo leaves the defense line of the northern border to intercept the Huns' cavalry, and the Huns have other troops to attack another section of the defense line? By then , isn't the entire defense line in northern Xinjiang about to collapse?"

"Zhong Mo can't leave Beijiang. With him around, the remaining line of defense in Beijiang can hold up."

Feng Jin made a final decision, and Li Yi frowned, "Then what should we do now? You can't just watch the Xiongnu's iron cavalry come straight to the imperial capital, right? You know, more than ten years ago, the Xiongnu's iron cavalry hit more than 100 kilometers north of the imperial capital. Here, almost hitting the imperial capital, if something like this happens again..."

"Absolutely not!"

Feng Jin said firmly, Li Yi looked at Feng Jin in surprise, "Why is Your Majesty so sure? Does Your Majesty have any schemes?"

Feng Jin said nothing, just stared at him and asked, "Li Yi, how many years have you not fought a war?"

Li Yi blushed, "More than ten years ago, during the war with the Huns, the subordinate officials also led the troops to fight."

Feng Jin knew this, if he didn't have military merits, even if Pei Xiu supported him, he still wouldn't be able to become Minister of War.

"I want to ask you something."

"Please, Your Majesty."

"I haven't fought for many years, can I still fight?"

Li Yi stared blankly at Feng Jin, with a face full of disbelief, he never expected that after the treason incident, not only did the empress not neglect him, and punish Li's family, she actually wanted him to lead the army in battle.

Ever since Zhong Mo led the Zhong family army, although he led the army with 10,000+ troops, he had no chance to go to the battlefield, and his hands were already itchy.

With a sound of 'Plop', Li Yi knelt on the ground on one knee, his words were sonorous and forceful, his voice was like a bell, his eyes were slightly red, his chest heaved violently, and his mood was agitated. I will definitely live up to His Majesty's great trust!"

"Get up first, it's urgent, don't waste time on these vain gifts."

Feng Jinxu gave her a hand, but Li Yi didn't dare to let her help him, so he got up quickly.

Pei Xiu's eyes flickered slightly, looking at the stretching and winding defense line of northern border on the map, his mind moved, "Your Majesty wants Li Yi to take the place of Zhong Shu, who died in battle, to face the Xiongnu army head-on?"

Feng Jin didn't answer, but just asked, "Has the troops of the Ministry of War been assembled?"

"It's all assembled."

Li Yi's dark face was flushed, and he was a little embarrassed. After all, he had gathered all his troops to rebel, but it turned out that this was a hole dug by the queen. When he and the prime minister were riding a tiger, the Huns invaded, and the prime minister did not have those troops. When he was sent back, he stayed in the important town on the outskirts of the imperial capital, five or six hundred miles away, and one or two hundred miles away.

"Where are the troops stationed here?"

Feng Jin asked again, Li Yi pointed out a few places on the map, Feng Jin stared at those places, lost in thought.

It was very quiet in the imperial study, no one dared to disturb Feng Jin.

Mr. He is getting old, and his lungs feel a little uncomfortable. He wanted to cough, but he tried his best to hold it back until he couldn't help it. He coughed several times in a row, interrupting Feng Jin's contemplation, and the rest of the people glared at him displeased. At a glance, Master He didn't dare to defend himself, he shrunk his head and tried his best to suppress his sense of existence.

"Qi Heng, is there enough money in the treasury?"

"Returning to His Majesty, the treasury is abundant."

Feng Jin twitched her long black eyebrows, and asked again, "Where's the grain and grass in the granaries?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, before the drought in the north, some grain was transferred to the past. After the autumn grain was harvested, the major granaries were replenished. If there is a war, there will be plenty of grain and grass."

"It's not just about going to war..."

Feng Jin said quietly, everyone looked at each other, Pei Xiu asked in a deep voice, "What does Your Majesty want to do?"

"Since they're here, I won't let them go! You must hit them hard, so that they will tremble when they think of this battle in the future, and dare not think otherwise."

"However, now one of the three generals has died, Zhong Gang is also seriously injured, and only Zhong Mo is left struggling to support him. How can we defeat the Xiongnu army?"

Lord Qi said with a serious expression, he glanced at Li Yi, "Could it be possible that His Majesty wants Lord Li..."

"What's wrong with me? Although I haven't fought for many years, I have never forgotten the ability to lead troops to fight. Does Lord Qi look down on me?"

Li Yi said angrily. Although his face was full of confidence and fighting spirit, but his heart was a little weak. Although he won a few games with the Xiongnu back then, most of them were lost. Otherwise, the Xiongnu cavalry would not The momentum was like a broken bamboo, hitting the periphery of the imperial capital.

He is not bad as a support, but if he takes it all on and fights the main force of the Huns head-on, Li Yi will be a little embarrassed.

"Li Yi is naturally going to the battlefield, but what I want is not him to meet the main force of the Huns, but to go here!"

As Feng Jin said, she nodded at the section of defense line guarded by Zhong Gang, "Zhong Gang has been seriously injured. Although he managed to hold this section of defense line, the morale of the army must be unstable. I need Li Yi to replace Zhong Gang to stabilize the morale of the army."

Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered something, "Then who is going to face the main force of the Huns?"

That's the top priority.

Everyone looked at Feng Jin in unison, waiting for her answer. Could it be that His Majesty has any generals under his command?
