Chapter 399

Yang Gong and Li Mubai looked at each other, and the latter said,

"To tell you the truth, this matter has been bothering me for a long time. I always feel that the level of the Yunzhou rebel army should be higher than this. But in the current situation, it is impossible to conquer Qingzhou in a month unless Wei Yuan is still alive.

"What do you think?"

The battlefield was like a chessboard, and it was more treacherous than playing chess. Li Mubai and Yang Gong, as great scholars of the Yunlu Academy, were not mediocre. They did not mind "asking for trouble" on such a major matter.

Hearing this, the advisors began to speculate:

"In the current situation, it is extremely difficult for the Yunzhou rebel army to conquer Qingzhou. Could it be … Well, they actually have another main force, and they split up to attack other places? And on the Qingzhou side, they are actually mediating with us and entangling the main force of the imperial court. "

"But this is meaningless. Conquer other areas separately? Then it is difficult to fight alone, become a desperate soldier, and be divided and eaten by me, Daibun? In Xu Yinluo's book on military strategy, there was a saying: use the right to attack, use surprise to win.

"This is just a surprise attack, and it's just a surprise attack."

"Master Yang, I don't think it's strange. It's not that we overestimated the Yunzhou rebel army, and it's not that the Yunzhou rebel army is useless. It's God's will. Think about it, if Xu Yinluo did not invite the elites of the Gu Tribe to relieve the pressure on Qingzhou and let us have a breather, so that we can mobilize troops and revitalize the whole situation, this second line of defense may have completely collapsed.

"If Xu Yinluo did not ally with the Southern Goblin to hold back the coalition forces of the Western Regions and the Buddhist monk soldiers, the imperial court is fighting on two fronts, unable to reinforce Qingzhou, and the front line may have been pushed to the hinterland of the Central Plains.

"Therefore, it's not that the Yunzhou rebel army is useless, it's that all the paths and all the schemes are resolved and restrained by Xu Yinluo."

After some in-depth analysis, even Yang Gong and Li Mubai admitted that this statement was the most reasonable.

Because the two great scholars could not think of other possibilities.

After the meeting, Li Mubai finished the tea in his cup and cupped his hands to the advisor who proposed to "eat people" to solve the flying beast army's food problem.

"Brother Lingzhan, may I have a word with you?"

The advisor with a goatee got up and walked out with Li Mubai.

The two went out of the hall and walked in front of the Administrative Department. Li Mubai suddenly said,

"I have something to trouble Brother Lingzhan."

The advisor cupped his hands and said, "Brother Chunjing, please speak your mind."

"I hope you can write it.

"I hope that Brother Lingzhan can write a letter to Songshan County and tell Xu Cijiu that desperate times call for desperate measures. "Lingzhan"

"Master" Lingzhan said.

Lingzhan understood.

Gong. "

…

It was a quiet afternoon. The Yongxing Emperor woke up on his throne. He felt refreshed. It had been a long time since he had a good night's sleep.

The first thing he did when he woke up was to summon Cho Hyun-jin, the eunuch in charge.

"I remember that the Spring Sacrifice is in a month's time.

"Inform the Dali Monastery to make it grand. I want to offer sacrifices to the ancestors and heaven and earth."

After the Spring Sacrifice, the earth would return to spring.

This cold disaster that had almost brought down the Great Feng Empire had finally reached the end of its tether.

In the season of recovery, the cold could no longer threaten the common people. Secondly, even though there was still a shortage of food, the mountains and plains were everywhere. Walking around in the mountains and digging in the ground, one could always find something to eat.

A few days ago in the Imperial Study, the officials analyzed the situation in Qingzhou and agreed that the rebel army would not be able to conquer Qingzhou before the Spring Sacrifice.

And according to the difference in the foundation of the two sides, the rebel army of Yunzhou would only get more and more tired the more they fought. A raging fire that was about to set the prairie on fire would gradually weaken until it was extinguished.

In recent days, the heavy atmosphere in the capital melted like a glacier.

The Cabinet issued three notices in a row to inspire the people.

Cho Hyun-jin was about to leave when the Yongxing Emperor waved his hand and said,

"Forget it. Summon the officials to the Imperial Study."

He smiled and said, "Continue to discuss the situation in Qingzhou."

…

In Phoenix Perch Palace, Huai Qing led his two personal palace maids into this cold and desolate palace garden that countless women in the harem dreamed of entering.

The charcoal fire was burning, and the curtains were hanging down. The beautiful Empress Dowager sat behind the table, eating the pastries she made and holding a book, reading quietly.

"Mother!"

Huai Qing bowed, cold and indifferent.

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly, not much more enthusiastic than her daughter.

"A few days ago, His Majesty arranged a marriage between Lin 'an and Xu Yinluo.

"I suddenly remembered that I neglected your marriage in the past. When the former Emperor was still alive, it was reasonable for you, as his daughters, to wait for a wife.

"Now that the new Emperor has succeeded the throne, your seniority has been raised. It is not appropriate to continue to wait for a wife.

"The reason I called you here today is to ask if Huai Qing has someone he admires?"

Huaiqing smiled. It was hard to tell whether it was sarcasm or disdain. She said lightly,

"Mother, you don't have to worry about my marriage. If I meet someone, I will naturally marry him."

The Empress Dowager did not force her and nodded.

"You can leave."

Huaiqing bowed and left Fengqi Palace with the maids.

The palace walls were heavy, locking people's dreams.

Huai Qing suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked up at the blue sky.

"Someone I like …" she murmured these words in her heart.

Returning to Dexin Garden, Huaiqing suddenly lost the mood to study. She planned to take a nap, but suddenly felt a palpitation. She quietly asked the maids to leave and took out the fragments of the Book of the Underworld.

"Two: I saw a notice in the city saying that the situation of the war in Qingzhou is good, and the rebel army is at the end of its flight. I am very angry. These dog officials are deceiving the people. "

Huai Qing, who was in a bad mood, almost burst out laughing.

The Saint and Saintess of Tenzō should be judged by their talent in cultivation, but in terms of wisdom … it could only be said to be okay.

"Four: It can't be said that they are deceiving the people. Since ancient times, the imperial court has always been good and not bad. In another month, it will be the Spring Sacrifice. The land will return to spring, and the cold disaster will pass. The imperial court has survived the most difficult time.

"And the rebel army of Yunzhou is stuck in Qingzhou. The longer it is delayed, the more powerless they will be. Although the imperial court has internal and external troubles, its foundation is still stronger than Yunzhou. "

"Seven: Then didn't we train the soldiers for nothing?"

"As expected, they are from the same sect …" Huaiqing watched quietly and did not participate in the conversation.

"Four: What do you mean by that, Brother Li? The rebel army of Yunzhou has been accumulating for 20 years. How can it be so easy to deal with them? I said that after the Spring Sacrifice, they will be powerless, but not that the rebel army of Yunzhou will be defeated after the Spring Sacrifice.

"We should train our troops as soon as possible and rush to Qingzhou before the Spring Sacrifice. Maybe we can be the last straw that breaks the back of the rebel army of Yunzhou. Speaking of which, if it wasn't for Xu Ningyan who dealt with the two hidden dangers of the Gu tribe and the Western Region, I am afraid that Qingzhou would have fallen long ago. "

"Ah, I can't let Brother Yang see this …" Li Lingsu sent a message.

"The Celestial Commissioner's Junior Sister Caiwei and Senior Brother Yang are in my village. Senior Brother Yang also plans to gather the refugees and fight for supremacy in the Central Plains. He wants to become a famous figure in history."

"Two: It is to suppress Xu Qi 'an."

"Four: It is to compete with Ning Yan."

"Six: It is to target your excellency Xu."

Li Miaozhen, Chu Yuanzhen, and Master Hengy Yuan sent messages one after another.

Li Lingsu almost covered his face. He wanted to complain about Yang Qianhuan, but he changed his mind and said,

"Senior Brother Yang is a very pure person. However, he and Junior Sister Caiwei were exiled by the Supervisor. "

After explaining the reason why Yang Qianhuan and Chu Caiwei were exiled, the Saint concluded,

"This pair of brothers and sisters is really speechless."

The people of Heaven & Earth Society, who were originally feeling emotional, silently complained in their hearts when they saw this sentence.

The Senior Brother and Junior Sister of Tenzō aren't any better. "

"Two: None of the Supervisor's disciples are normal."

Seeing this sentence, the people of Heaven & Earth Society felt emotional again.

At this time, the Jinlian Taoist priest appeared and said,

"Everyone, I has returned from seclusion."

The Heaven & Earth Society was silent for a few seconds, and then there was an uproar.

"Two: Ah, Jinlian Taoist priest, you have finally come out of seclusion. You don't know, right? There are so many changes in the outside world, and many things have happened."

"Yes, so many things have happened that I thought he had been in seclusion for ten or twenty years …" The Jinlian Taoist priest sent a message with emotion.

"I have heard from the inner disciples that there is no sun and moon in the mountains, and the world has been a thousand years."

"Four: Taoist priest, what you know is something that has long been spread around the world. There are some secrets within the Heaven & Earth Society that you don't know yet."

Chu Yuanzhen sent a message.

The Jinlian Taoist priest's heart skipped a beat. He knew that Xu Qi 'an had stepped into the Transcendent Realm and participated in many major events, so he must have come into contact with a lot of high-level secrets.

And with Xu Ningyan's character, he would most likely show his divinity in front of the people within the Heaven & Earth Society … No, he would exchange information.

The Jinlian Taoist priest immediately sent a message to ask,

"Nine: What inside information do you have?"

Chu Yuanzhen sent a message: "Four: I will tell you some of the things that can be said. As for the secrets that Xu Ningyan has announced, we will tell you when he agrees."

Chu Yuanzhen told him in detail about Jinlian's seclusion, Wei Yuan's death in battle, everyone working together to kill Yuan Jing, traveling in Jianghu, and killing Buddhist King Kong in Jianzhou.

However, he concealed the relationship between Xu Qi 'an and Xu Pingfeng, and did not mention the secret of Buddha.

"Nine: Wei Yuan sacrificed himself for a righteous cause. As for Joan of Arc, I am really sorry. It was not what I wanted. It was all the fault of the Black Lotus. Everyone must help me get rid of him. "

The Jinlian Taoist priest had mixed feelings, but he did not forget to shift the blame.

In Daibun's current situation, the Jinlian Taoist priest had to bear half of the blame, and the other half was on Xu Pingfeng.

If the Jinlian Taoist priest had not taken the opportunity to pollute Joan of Arc with his evil thoughts, there would not have been so many troubles that followed.

The people of the Heaven & Earth Society tacitly did not elaborate. After all, this matter was not glorious, and the cause and effect were too heavy. It could be considered a scar in the heart of the Jinlian Taoist priest that could not be erased.

Seeing that the members of the Heaven & Earth Society did not dwell on this matter, Jinlian was relieved.

At this time, Lina sent a message:

"Five: Jinlian Taoist priest, what did you do wrong?"

The Jinlian Taoist priest was speechless.

"Jinlian Taoist priest, why did you recruit Lina into the Heaven & Earth Society in the first place …" The members of the Heaven & Earth Society cursed in their hearts.

"Nine: It's a long story. I will tell you in detail when we meet."

The Jinlian Taoist priest could only evade in this way.

"Nine: There is one thing that I thinks everyone should be vigilant about. It is about the war in Qingzhou."
