Hu Meier secretly wiped away some tears from her eyes, turned her back to her husband and said, "Old Bai, I heard that the queen is recruiting troops and preparing to start a war?"
"I don't know whether to start a war or not. Anyway... there are some things that I can't go back on." The white paper fan took off his official robe and put it on the hanger.
Hu Meier stood up, called the maid, packed the white paper fan's robe, and said, "Do you know the news about Brother Hugo?"
When Li Yuguo was mentioned, Bai Zhifan's heart trembled. He always remembered the way Li Yuguo looked at him when he left Yanjing with his troops.
Disappointment, helplessness, sadness.
"Who knows." Bai Zhifan said with a smile. His smile was very bitter. As the proverb goes, some people are crying, but they are actually laughing, and some people are laughing, but they are actually crying.
Hu Meier hesitated to speak, but soon she gained the courage to say: "Do you regret it?"
"I regret it, but I don't regret it either. It's too late to say this now." It was obvious that Bai Zhifan didn't want to say anything more on this topic.
He has been dreaming these days, dreaming that when Li Huguo was playing with him at Tianwu Academy, he admired Li Huguo's big brother demeanor from the bottom of his heart.
However, he didn't know why he suddenly agreed to the Third Prince's invitation. Was it because of the silent ambition in his heart? Or is it because you are unwilling to be someone else's
On Nalanmeng's side, she was dressed in semen, but she was in the palace. She was in a difficult situation. As the first female emperor in the history of Haotian Kingdom, there were many opposing voices around her, although all of these voices had been eliminated. Disappeared, she had dealt with all this, letting them evaporate from the world.
But several royal brothers were all eyeing her position from all over the country.
Nalan Meng knew very well that even if he relaxed a little, these royal brothers would appear in groups like hungry wolves.
There are no brothers or sisters under the throne.
She knew that it turned out that her father had plotted all this against her. Her father divided the plan into two parts. The first part was success, and he successfully captured Yanjing. The second part was failure, and he used his own death to force Nalan Meng succeeded to the throne.
Does Nalanmeng care about the throne? She doesn't care, it can even be said that she hates it deeply. She has been very disgusted with the throne since she was a child, but her father fixed her on it with death.
There were two sparrows leaning against each other at the window, chirping.
Nalanmeng dragged her cheeks. She looked at them and felt a sense of comfort in her heart. She suddenly remembered the days in Dragon City and Tianlang City. Wasn't it the same for herself and Li Huguo
But now, I'm afraid there is an insurmountable gap between me and him.
"Your Majesty!" A eunuch ran over, "Secret report, Daliao seems to be sending troops to attack Daijin!"
…
In Yanjing, Li Yuguo, Yang Xuanwu, and Song Qinglong were in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Situ Wushu's face was solemn and his expression was serious: "I don't need to say anything about this matter, you should already know about it. Now the enemy is facing us. Although Haotian temporarily retreated, it is now replaced by a more powerful enemy, and this time the enemy... is Daliao!"
"Da Liao's million-strong army is said to have been divided into three groups and heading towards Da Jin." Song Qinglong said.
In the face of the hatred of country and family, all grudges seem less important.
Situ Wushu said: "Now the enemy army is pressing on the border, we must resist, so you three, I plan to send you to the battlefield. This time, there are three battlefields. The first one is Nangu. We have an army of 200,000, and the terrain in the south valley is very dangerous, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. We have to face the enemy’s army of 400,000."
"The second one is Pingjin Pass, but this is also the most difficult, because Pingjin Pass has now fallen into the territory of Daliao. If we want to defend the northwest, we must capture Pingjin Pass. Otherwise, the enemy can march straight in and directly reach the hinterland of Yanjing. , and our special agent team only has 100,000 people."
"The third one is the Red Sea. There are many forts on the Red Sea. As long as we can stop the enemy, we can defend a large number of military fortresses."
As soon as Situ Wushu finished speaking, Song Qinglong began to murmur in his heart. He said in his heart that Pingjin Pass was a complete suicide, because the enemies at Pingjin Pass were all the elites of the Liao Dynasty. This time, there would be more misfortune than good. Knowing that Daliao had used careful tactics and conspiracy to capture Pingjin Pass, and if their group had passed through, it would not have been enough for the enemy to kill them.
Song Qinglong said: "My old Song family has eight thousand navy troops. I am good at navy troops, so teacher, please leave the Red Sea to me to deal with it."
Situ Wushu smiled and said: "On the Red Sea, there are not only Daliao naval forces, but also many pirates. You have to think clearly."
"The coast of Dajin is full of defensive forts. I'm afraid of him!" Song Qinglong said.
Li Yuguo secretly laughed in his heart. The defense in the Red Sea is the simplest, as long as the enemy is not allowed to land. Fortunately, Song Qinglong is the oldest, so he is so useless. He chose the simplest one, just to survive and make contributions.
Here Situ Wushu looked at Li Hugo: "Hugo, where are you planning to go?"
"Prime Minister, let Brother Xuanwu make the choice first," Li Hugo said.
"Teacher, I choose Nangu. Nangu can advance, attack, retreat, or defend. It is suitable for the art of war. The student has learned the art of war from the teacher for so many years, and he boasts that he is very confident, so I also ask the teacher to allow the student to fight and protect Dajin. Jiangshan, protect my golden army soul!" Yang Xuanwo said.
Situ Wushu stroked his long beard with his hand and said with satisfaction: "Protect the Dajin Mountains and protect the soul of my Dajin Army! That's right, that's it."
He looked at Li Yuguo: "If this is the case, then you will only have Pingjin Pass."
"Within half a year, I will take Pingjin Pass. The people who betrayed Pingjin Pass were people from our military machine hall. I have to take responsibility for their actions." Li Hugo said.
Situ Wushu praised: "But Pingjin Pass is one of the top ten passes in the world. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even the elites of Daliao could not take it down. Do you have confidence?"
Capture Pingjin Pass in half a year
Yang Xuanwu and Song Qinglong looked at each other, and both of them laughed secretly at the same time. You must know that Pingjin Pass was not captured even by the Prime Minister himself. Three years ago, the Prime Minister led an army of 100,000 to besiege Pingjin Pass. It took three months, but in the end he came back with no success at all.
It is conceivable how difficult the Pingjin Pass is, but how can Li Huguo, a young boy, handle it
