Chen Palace

Chapter 161 Confrontation
In the previous dynasty, the Xiankun Palace was the place where the emperor hunted in the north. Although it was named as a summer resort, it was actually a place where soldiers and horses were mobilized to strictly guard against the intrusion of northern barbarians.

On August 8th, he insisted on sending it back to the capital. Only then did the empress dowager and the cabinet ministers who stayed behind know that the emperor had mobilized 20 troops from the capital camp and the imperial army, and another [-] were urgently dispatched from various places. The dispatched [-] troops gathered [-] troops, assembled and counted them, equipped with horses and armaments, and started marching northeastward. Finally, on the morning of August [-]th, they arrived at the city of Pingzhou, set up a company battalion, and waited for the Tatars alone. The Tartars took advantage of the victory to come.

The emperor was looking at the report collected by the Ministry of War. Chen Lu was rubbing ink in his hand and asked leisurely, "Is it because the Tatars have made new moves?"

"They stayed in Luancheng for several days, and there was no sign of attacking again."

The emperor pondered, with a hint of hesitation between his brows.

"Now the army is at a stalemate here. If you can't recover Luancheng, it doesn't make any sense to retreat..."

The tactics of the Tatars have always dominated the roost with speed, but now they are so weird that they will not retreat or fight, what is their plan?
"I heard that Kulu Khan's body has not recovered yet?"

Chen Lu quietly asked beside him.

"He took an arrow from you in the chest, and was taken back for treatment by the warriors of the king's tent at that time. Although he survived by chance, he also suffered from coughing and wheezing from time to time—but his covetous heart for the Central Plains has become more and more intense!"

Yuan Qi recalled the thrilling scene, and couldn't help but glanced at the beautiful woman beside him. She was only wearing a silver brocade begonia pattern palace gown today, with a plain face and beautiful face, as bright as snow. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, it would be unimaginable. , the slender woman in front of the front of the battle has made a fierce and immortal feat!

"He is also in his sixties. If he doesn't win the great rivers and mountains of the Central Plains before closing his eyes, he will probably feel regretful!"

Chen Lu's eyes were clear, and she thought of the heroic young prince many years ago—the ambition and persistence in his eyes were more brilliant than Chen Xi's!
"You speak so familiarly, it seems that you understand his psychology very well."

Yuan Qi took the Duan inkstone in her hand and joked with a smile.

"Cooked...?"

She quietly closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the waves were calm, and she just smiled gracefully: "Your majesty is joking, the overlords in this world often think like this - time flies like an arrow, time waits for no one. They are successful, but they have been in a trance for half their lives. The last thing they think about is to hold all the golden pots and nine tripods in their hands..."

She spoke eloquently, with profound artistic conception, distant and misty in her eyes, quiet and cold, as if she had told the sorrows of the heroes of the world, and any immortal achievements were only turned into mirrors and moonlight, and they were all laughed and talked about.

She seems to be talking about Hulu, but in her heart, why isn't she expressing her melancholy?

The room was suddenly silent, and Yuan Qi was also deeply moved by this sigh of wind and frost. He sighed: "Although I can't be called a hero, I will always be the master of the world. Appeared in my hand..."

"The emperor is the hero of a generation, so why worry about his name after death?"

Chen Lu forced a smile, a little uneasy, got up to leave.

She walked out of the quiet courtyard and kept walking until the scenery in front of her eyes turned into a dense tent, and she realized that she had walked into the camp.

The patrolling soldiers stepped forward to stop him, although Chen Lu had the king's order, but he didn't want to cause trouble, so he turned around and wanted to turn around, but someone behind him said with a smile: "Since you're here, why don't you come to the camp to talk about it?"

Looking back, I saw Zhou Junxuan standing beside the road with a smile on his face.

Chen Lu didn't show any politeness to him, when he entered the camp of the Chinese army, some soldiers poured tea, Chen Lu teased with a smile: "Now that the 20 troops are under his command, the general's prestige is really impressive!"

"You're making fun of me again—the name of the commander-in-chief sounds scary, but it's actually just a chess piece in the hands of the emperor. Let alone the orders are like a mountain, but there are no constraints for the time being. I'm thankful!"

Zhou Jun sneered slightly, and joked half-sarcastically, as if he had never had any good feelings for the emperor's favor.

Chen Lu knew that he had a deep prejudice against the royal family due to the loss of his lover, so she smiled slightly and asked, "Is there still no news about Xi Zuo?"

"Hulu is still standing still."

Zhou Jun frowned, but also had a headache.

"If there is no restraint, how will you treat it?"

Chen Lu asked directly.

"Still watching."

Zhou Jun replied without hesitation. He looked at the report in his hand and said decisively: "Hulu is waiting for the court to be unable to hold back and rush forward."

"Didn't you consider that the emperor's reputation would be damaged by such a heated debate?"

"As the lord of the world, if you don't even have this kind of patience and can't bear the slightest slander, it's really hard to become a great weapon!"

Zhou Jun sneered.
