My country is dying

Chapter 507
In the early morning of the next day, Mi Le slept again for a full day, and when he woke up and finished grading papers, it was already sunset.

After Xiao Qi reported the matter, seeing her listless look, he couldn't help asking: "This is the emperor, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Mi Le glanced at him, and was about to say something, but his eyes suddenly froze: "Speaking of not sleeping well, what's the matter with your dark circles? Isn't it necessary to stay up all night in the palace?"

Xiao Qi turned his eyes away: "It's just that I'm not used to it here, and I don't sleep well."

Mi Le looked at him suspiciously, Xiao Qi quickly changed the subject: "I have found some clues about those missing temporary troops."

"Really?" Sure enough, with something serious to do, Mi Le's attention was completely attracted to him.

Xiao Qi breathed a sigh of relief, took out a booklet from his pocket and handed it to her.

The booklet contained detailed information obtained by the spies during this period of time. After reading it carefully, Mi Le frowned: "It says that all the provisional troops went north to reinforce the affected areas?"

"That's right," Xiao Qi replied, "I have checked the list of the Huai Army going north, and it matches the internal list of the Huaijiang Army, and not only that, the remaining temporary troops have also been incorporated into the Huai Army and joined the reinforcement team! "

"When the Jiangbei epidemic spread, the nearest force was the Huaijiang River. It is reasonable for King Huai to send troops to reinforce it." Mi Le walked to Hou Junli's desk, and after searching on his desk, he finally found it. There was an excerpt about Jiangbei's reinforcement-related incidents, but I was surprised after seeing the data on the exposition.

"Ten thousand! Jiangbei's disease is not considered the worst, yet King Huai actually sent 1 reinforcements to help Jiangbei?!"

"More than [-] people. Apart from Jiangbei, there are also four states and counties. Along the way to the north, there are more than [-] people in total." A black figure entered from the outside, and Hou Junli entered the house with his hands behind his back. On his handsome face, his eyes were as dark as water.

"More than 6? Is Duke Huai crazy?!"

Xiao Qi was also taken aback: "I only checked the list roughly, but I didn't count the total number of people. King Huai has no more than [-] soldiers, but he sent more than [-] soldiers to reinforce various places. Doesn't that mean that he Send most of the troops out?"

"You can say that," Hou Junli nodded, and took out a book from the thick folder on the desk and handed it to Mi Le, "Look at this."

"Lingchuan, Su'an, Yu Ning, Xinyang..."

The booklet counted the reinforcement locations sent by the Huaijiang River, a total of nine locations. Just after Mi Le finished reading, Hou Junli had already laid out a map on the table, and Tu Shang had already circled several locations with a red pen. They are the place names that Mi Le just read out.

"Why do these places seem to be leading to the fortress of the capital..." Xiao Qi tilted his head to look at the place names on the map, and blurted out out of the sharpness of a soldier.

When these words fell to the ground, Mi Le's eyes widened.

"What did you say?"

Xiao Qin repeated the words just now, and swallowed: "I just said it casually, the emperor must not care about it!"

"This time, I'm afraid I really need to care about it!" Mi Le fixed his eyes on the map, and after looking at it for a while, he clenched his fists and looked at Hou Junli: "I know why you settled here Already!"

"Why?" Hou Junli raised his eyebrows with great interest.

Mi Le sneered, and pointed to the location of their village on the map: "This is where we are now, and this is the Huaijiang River. Jiangbei and Jiangxi must pass through the river, as long as you guard this river, you will guard the Huaijiang's external movements, and the reason why you stay here is to monitor the other side of the river."

"Probably." Hou Junli nodded with a casual gesture, as if he was not so satisfied with her answer.

"What do you mean? It's definitely true!"

A smile appeared on the corner of his lips, as if he appreciated her analysis, "Except for this?"

Mi Le looked at the map again, but this time he became serious: "There are still... It's just speculation at the moment, but if these are true, it will really be a catastrophe..."

"Havoc?" Xiao Qi looked blank, "What catastrophe? Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Why didn't you understand a word?"

Mi Le stretched out his hand and drew a circle around the places circled by the red pen, "You also said that these places are fortresses entering the capital, so let me ask you, if these places are held in the hands of the same person, what is the capital city? Isn't it just something in the bag?"

Xiao Qi suddenly opened his eyes wide: "You mean... no, it's impossible! King Huai sent the temporary army to these places. No matter how capable the temporary army is, they lack combat experience. They can't possibly defeat our army. of!"

"Then what if these temporary troops are not temporary troops, but Duke Huai's elite troops?" Hou Junli asked.
