During the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River, the sky was shrouded in haze. Tang Bo came in silently, walked through the corridor, and placed a box beside You Miao.
"How about the imperial expedition?" You Miao glanced at the box and asked.
"Send troops in three days." Tang Bo said, "Your Majesty asked Lord Shen Zhi to come to the palace tonight."
You Miao nodded, opened the box, glanced at it, and Tang Bo said again: "This is General Nie's relic. It has been divided among the army, and the box is reserved for you."
You Miao saw that there was only a folding fan in the box.
He opened the folding fan, which was the fan left by Nie Dan on the day when the four brothers got married. You Miao's is "the brave who meet on a narrow road wins", while Li Zhifeng's is "good fighters have no great achievements", Zhao Chao's is "the country breaks the mountains and rivers are there".
Now, he was finally fortunate enough to see what Nie Dan left to him.
"One will succeed and ten thousand bones will die." Tang Bo murmured.
"Following Jun Mo's words to seal the affairs of the Marquis, the success will be a thousand bones." You Miao murmured, putting away the folding fan and said, "I will enter the palace now, is Zhezi ready?"
Tang Bo nodded and said, "I'll send two people with you."
Zhao Chao wanted to go personally, and the affairs of the court were extremely complicated. It didn't mean that the emperor had left. Everything had to be handed over, and the court had to maintain stability. There was a fierce debate in the court over whether or not the imperial army would accompany you. The things to be arranged, the mind is almost full.
On the same day, You Miao brought two servants into the palace, holding hundreds of memorials, and arranged them one by one in front of Zhao Chao. He thought of all possible things, and finally got stuck on the arrangement of the Royal Forest Army.
"You must bring your personal guards." You Miao said: "The Imperial Forest Army is well-trained. Only with the protection of Big Brother Tang Hui, I can rest assured that you will be sent to the expedition."
Zhao Chao said: "As soon as the Imperial Forest Army goes, there will be only 8,000 Yangzhou troops left to guard the capital. You can rest assured, how can I rest assured?"
You Miao said: "With me in peace, there will be no problem in Yangzhou."
Pingxi was born in a family of generals, and his ancestors were all Tianqi veterans for three generations. Although he was deceased, Pingxi married the daughter of a family of generals, and You Miao was sure to cooperate with him.
"No!" Zhao Chao rejected the matter without thinking, and blurted out: "In case..."
Halfway through the words, You Miao and Zhao Chao changed their expressions at the same time, You Miao winked immediately, and Zhao Chao realized that he almost said something he shouldn't have said.
Pingxi said: "If this is the case, please ask General Tang to guard Maocheng. Your Majesty will lead your lieutenant General Liu to the north, and the Royal Forest Army will be divided into 10,000 and 20,000, and 8,000 will stay here, plus 8,000 Yangzhou troops. You can ensure that there is no problem."
Tang Hui clasped his fists, nodded and said, "The last general also thinks the same way."
This was the only way out of nowhere. In the end, You Miao had to give in and nodded, "Then, that's it."
Zhao Chao hummed, took a deep breath, and leaned on the chair.
All the ministers bowed and retired, and You Miao stood in the study and did not leave. This has almost become a necessity, and Zhao Chao still has something to say.
After everyone was gone, Li Yan was the last to close the study door. Zhao Chao in the study looked haggard, forced a smile, and said, "Youngest."
You Miao looked up at Zhao Chao, and Zhao Chao said, "For so many years, I've always been afraid of being wrong by you, and you haven't been wrong once, so you can't accompany me to be wrong once?"
You Miao smiled bitterly, and Zhao Chao added: "Just now, when you insisted that Tang Hui follow me personally, I was beating drums in my heart."
Previously, on the north bank of the Yellow River, there was a lot of confusion about whether or not to pursue the victory. In the end, Nie Dan crossed the river, won and died, but You Miao knew that this was unpredictable. Everything is irresistible.
"Are you afraid I won't be able to come back?" Zhao Chao asked again.
You Miao suddenly reddened her eyes again, looking at Zhao Chao with tears in her eyes, nodded and choked: "Yes."
Zhao Chao smiled and said, "I can't hide behind my eldest brother anymore. There is no one to protect us, I have to fight."
"I know." You Miao snorted. At that moment, he only felt that he had too many things to say to Zhao Chao, but he couldn't say a thousand words. He wanted to say that he was really worried. Zhao Chao was old, and he was no longer in high spirits. When he was a young boy in brocade clothing, who scolded each other in the world, the years had left too many traces on each other's bodies and souls. His spirit was unstable, and he It's very dangerous to go out on a desperate mission.
But as Zhao Chao himself said, they have been protected by Nie Dan for all these years, and they will always face the day when they will come out and fight the enemy.
"After the expedition, you must judge the situation carefully." You Miao said: "Don't be blinded by hatred."
"Got it." Zhao Chao nodded and said, "The third brother will definitely return safely."
You Miao smiled, and Zhao Chao said again: "But in case something happens, you have to promise me, the queen and your unborn nephew..."
You Miao said in a low voice, "Since you have made up your mind to return, you don't need to mention this again."
With a smile, You Miao walked up to the imperial case, hugged Zhao Chao, then bowed and retire.
Three days later, Zhao Chao led 12,000 garrison troops to leave Maocheng and head north to take over Nie Dan's old army.
Batu had retreated to Da'an, and Daleko wandered outside the fortress, escaped with a single blow, and disappeared.
After receiving the order from the imperial court, Li Zhifeng set off from the camp.
The biggest battle between the northern and southern dynasties was about to start. You Miao knew that Zhao Chao's advance was equivalent to the last bit of the Southern Dynasty's wealth. There were only less than 50,000 cavalry left in the Tartars, and morale was low after the new defeat. The prairie cavalry, known as invincible, has become a dead end.
It is precisely because of this that the northern Hu people are about to be forced to face the most severe situation since entering the customs, and they have to unite again, as well as the Goryeo who is watching. Multi-line combat is imperative, I only hope Zhao Chao can be ashamed this time.
