Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 294 What a Careful Work (Part [-])
Huo Mingzhu came back again, walking on the stars, Fang Tieyi heaved a sigh of relief, Sulu cried and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately Fang Tieyi had quick eyesight and quick hands, and helped her in time. To prevent her from knocking her head.

It's just that the plain tears are like the river water on the bank, without stopping, and there is a tendency to become more and more intense, Fang Tieyi hurriedly resists the person, so as to make room for Huo Mingzhu to rest.

When the room was quiet, Huo Mingzhu sat in front of the table, poured herself a glass of water and drank it, thinking in her heart, that girl Sulu was so busy crying, she forgot to bring her water, and just rode her horse Pentium didn't feel it yet, but now that she was quiet, she felt thirsty.

After drinking two glasses of water, Huo Mingzhu finally recovered. She took the third glass of water but didn't drink it. Instead, she stared at the front in a daze, without focusing her eyes.

Her mind is full of Baili Jingqi at the moment, until now when she is the only one left in the room, she can connect Baili Jingqi's smile with the usual appearance of the man in black.

There is really no similarity in this comparison, which not only amazed Huo Mingzhu, but also surprised her by her own inner feelings.

What does this represent?She didn't dare to think deeply, but turned her thoughts to the other side.

Baili Jingqi said that the Mobei army will launch a large-scale attack on the city tomorrow, and they definitely want to break through the city before the delayed troops from Dayong's side arrive. Therefore, tomorrow's bitter battle will be very difficult, but, As long as you survive for five days, you can hold on as soon as reinforcements arrive.

Because Baili Jingqi's identity as an emperor cannot be exposed to the public, he did not appear in front of everyone with Huo Mingzhu.

Huo Mingzhu sat until the sky was slightly bright, but she still didn't feel sleepy, she thought, maybe it was because of the upcoming stop, or some other reasons, in short, when the horn sounded to wake up Afterwards, Huo Mingzhu also got up and left the room.

The barracks in the border town are different from the school grounds in the upper capital. Although the soldiers at both places have to get up in the morning for drills, they lack some momentum compared to the soldiers in the upper capital school grounds. All the soldiers here have murderous intent on their faces. Hearing the shouts is already frightening.

Huo Mingzhu dismissed the maid who was going to serve her, and came to the training ground alone, only to see Fang Tieyi standing in the front making gestures one by one, the soldiers behind followed suit, and Lin Yunxi stood aside Inspector.

Huo Mingzhu's appearance did not cause much commotion. Huo Mingzhu was very satisfied with this, which showed that Fang Tie's soldiers were all calm.

After the drill was over, Fang Tieyi saw Huo Mingzhu, and hurriedly knelt down to worship together with Lin Yunxi, and the soldiers behind them also knelt down.

Huo Mingzhu is representing the emperor at this moment, therefore, she did not act pretentiously, but let people pay homage generously, and then said: "All generals and soldiers are in peace."

Huo Mingzhu now has armor on her body, majestic and majestic, which brings out her heroic spirit from her beautiful face, but in the eyes of these soldiers, she is even more attractive.

They have all heard that their empress dowager of Dayong personally escorted the food and grass out, and she is a wonderful woman who cares about the people of Dayong. Looking at it like this now, Huo Mingzhu's aura is instantly overwhelmed.

Huo Mingzhu glanced at these soldiers for a week, they were so dark that they couldn't see the end, some of them were still immature, thinking about the upcoming war, some of these soldiers would die in battle, thinking of this, Huo Mingzhu felt a lot of grief and indignation .

If it weren't for the Mobei Tartars, how could her people be like this? Thinking of this, Huo Mingzhu shouted: "Erlang, I, Huo Mingzhu, was also born in a soldier's family. I grew up in a border town since I was a child. As long as we wish, now, the Tartars are coming, they want to invade our territory, usurp our precious land, if we don’t expel them, it will waste us as fathers, sons, and husbands.”

As soon as Huo Mingzhu finished speaking, all the soldiers roared angrily: "The empress dowager is a thousand years old."

Lin Yunxi stared blankly at the radiant Huo Mingzhu, her heart was pounding, the knots in her heart that had been soothed by Princess Feng'er showed signs of rising again, just because Huo Mingzhu was so dazzling and charming .

Huo Mingzhu looked at the morale that she had aroused with satisfaction. She knew that, just like the current morale, the Tartars really came to attack today, and they were not afraid. They might not be able to win against such high morale soldiers. Okay, next, there is the issue of layout.

The layout is also very important in marching and fighting, but she is really not good at this. However, she is not worried at all. With Lin Yunxi and Fang Tieyi, one person counts the shortcomings and the three have the skills. Less than good.

With such confident thoughts, Huo Mingzhu, Fang Tieyi and Lin Yunxi sat together to discuss strategies.

"I'm afraid the Tartars will take action soon. If we don't have a perfect strategy, we won't be able to last long." Lin Yunxi opened his mouth and expressed his worries.

Huo Mingzhu looked at Lin Yunxi, she had confidence in Lin Yunxi, so she waited quietly for him to continue talking.

Lin Yunxi continued: "Nowadays, the enemy is outnumbered and we can only take advantage of it. But now we only have a slight advantage in the terrain. If we let them successfully climb the ladder, I will speed up the defeat."

"The ladder is wood, and fire overcomes wood. We can focus on fire." Fang Tieyi echoed.

"Well, yes, the last general wants to use fire to attack." Lin Yunxi nodded to Fang Tieyi, indicating that what he said was exactly what he thought, and the reason why he said it in such detail was to explain it to Huo Mingzhu.

Huo Mingzhu nodded, pondered for a while, and then said: "If fire attacks, where does the fire come from?"

"The last general ordered someone to buy kerosene. Tomorrow, once the tartars are on the ladder, we will pour the kerosene on it, and we will be able to resist it. Then we will place the archers on a high place, so that only the tartars can go. No answer." Lin Yunxi slapped the table hard and made a bang.

There was a slight movement outside the door. The three people in the room were all masters, so of course they didn't miss the slight movement. Huo Mingzhu signaled to Lin Yunxi that there was something wrong at the door. Lin Yunxi nodded to show that he knew, and Fang Tieyi looked at the two of them left and right. With a glance, he continued: "Even if the Tartars come to attack immediately, we can still smash their corpses into thousands of pieces.

Seeing Fang Tieyi raised his voice, Lin Yunxi smiled at him, got up together with Huo Mingzhu, and slowly moved towards the door.

Huo Mingzhu arrived at a suitable position, and nodded to Lin Yunxi to indicate that she was ready. Lin Yunxi nodded to express her understanding, and then opened the door with the momentum of stealing the bell, and two people fell in quickly outside the door.

One is Sulu, and the other is also a woman, a maid who was recently assigned to Sulu. When she was found out about her behavior, both of them had different reactions on their faces.

Su Ling's face was flushed, and she looked like she had done something wrong, while the other was a little slower to react, but she was also terrified afterwards.

"It's so courageous." Fang Tieyi looked at Sulu, and he couldn't help feeling a little bit of hatred in his heart. When the leaders of the army discuss strategies, they can listen to them casually.

Huo Mingzhu looked at Suhui blankly.

Su Hui hurriedly knelt down and said, "Empress Dowager, you spared the concubine, the concubine didn't eavesdrop on purpose." She didn't know what was going on, but she believed it when she heard that there were women coming and going in General Fang's tent occasionally. At that time, the maid named Xiao Cui said that she was just going to deliver tea to General Lin, so she followed her. When she got outside, she heard a conversation coming from inside, talking about the war. She felt curious when she heard it. Just listened to it, without noticing the truth that this military plane should not listen to it casually.

"Okay, get up, the Ai family also said that spies have come, since they are not, then there is no need to worry." Huo Mingzhu smiled a little.

Seeing that Huo Mingzhu bypassed Sulu, Fang Tieyi disapproved, and just about to say something, Huo Mingzhu said again: "Now you two have heard the strategy discussed by the Ai family and the two generals, and it's not that the Ai family doesn't believe it. You guys, you have to take precautions in everything, especially at this critical moment. If you are spies, killing them is certainly the safest thing to do, but Sulu has been with Ai's family for so long, so of course you can't kill him at will. As for you, little Is it Cui? Aijia is not an unreasonable person, you will follow Aijia in the future and make up for your mistakes."

"Yes, the maidservant knows." When Xiao Cui heard that she had been let go, she instantly smiled. Huo Mingzhu glanced at her several times before turning around and glaring at Sulu. Said: "Since the strategy has been drawn up, let's go, Ai's family walk around."
