What did Han Yunxi think of the Northern Li war?
Han Yunxi only asked because she wanted to hear Long Fei Ye's thoughts.
She'd read many memorials, all of which urged Long Fei Ye to send troops to support Ning Cheng and take down Northern Li in one fell swoop. She even saw a report that suggested taking advantage of the situation to send troops to Wintercrow Kingdom and take it down.
Han Yunxi didn't approve of the idea at all. In her eyes, it was no different from invading.
After all, Wintercrow Country had always minded its own business with the other nations of Cloud Realm Continent. Even when the Great Qin Empire conquered Cloud Realm, Wintercrow Country didn't surrender.
Han Yunxi despised sending troops to a small tribe that had never invaded Northern Li's borders before. She didn't want Long Feiye to do such a thing, either. Thus, she didn't say much to Long Fei Ye before rejecting the memorials. She even made a mental note to remember the name of the soldier who wrote them.
Aside from the Wintercrow Country issue, all of the other memorials were quite pertinent. Of course, they were all on point, but all of them had their own selfish motives in mind, especially those from Baili Yuanlong's faction.
When Han Yunxi didn't reply, Long Fei Ye arched a brow. "You don't want to talk about it, or …"
Han Yunxi smiled. "It's hard to say. After all … I'm from Western Qin."
Long Fei Ye immediately smiled as well. Han Yunxi's words had hit the nail on the head!
The remonstrances mainly came from two factions. One was from the Baili Army, and the other was from the Zhongnan Army. The Baili faction represented the Baili Clan and all of East Qin's former subordinates. The south central regions, on the other hand, represented the major clans and warlords of the south central regions.
The Baili Army had already experienced Han Yunxi's methods many times. Naturally, they did not dare to point their spear at Han Yunxi directly. Therefore, they pointed their spear at Ning Cheng. Not only did they want to fight with the Ning Clan Army on the northern expedition, but they also wanted to use the battlefield in Northern Li to weaken the Ning Clan Army's power and even destroy them.
The spearhead of the South Central Military Faction had always been Han Yunxi. The South Central was where the Long Fei Ye's power was. The reason why the Long Fei Ye could accumulate power and wealth in the South Central was more or less because of the large families in the Central Region.
Long Fei Ye sought benefits for them, and they made things convenient for Long Fei Ye. They were using each other. Those people had always hoped that Long Fei Ye would one day replace Emperor Tianhui and become Tianning's emperor. They'd also hoped to marry their daughters to Long Fei Ye and send their sons to court to seek more power and wealth. That way, they'd be able to raise their own family's status and expand their influence.
After all, having someone in court made it easier to become an official, and having someone in court made it easier to do business.
Unfortunately, they never calculated that Long Fei Ye would be the descendant of East Qin. Long Fei Ye not only wanted Tianning, but all of Cloud Realm Continent.
The South Central Military Faction lacked the arrogance and strength of the western regions, the power of the Baili Army, or the battle prowess of the Ning Clan Army. It could be said that the South Central Military Faction was the weakest of Long Fei Ye's military factions.
They had no way of directly clashing with any of the military factions, so they didn't dare to provoke any of them. Instead, they set their sights on the empress and the four noble consorts.
Han Yunxi, Long Fei Ye's only woman, naturally became their biggest target.
The South Central Military Faction was especially smart. On one hand, they took the initiative to stand with the Baili Army and persuade Long Fei Ye to suppress the Ning Clan troops from Western Qin. On the other hand, they offered suggestions on the establishment of the capital city, the ascension to the throne, the establishment of a system, and the appointment of an heir apparent.
In short, Long Fei Ye was about to become the master of Cloud Realm Continent. Everyone was eyeing the position of mistress. Han Yunxi and the Di Clan's Ning Clan behind her became the target of public criticism.
Although Han Yunxi was very capable, in everyone's eyes, she was still just a woman. Moreover, she only had the Ning Clan in her hands, which was her sole power.
When the overall situation was still uncertain, anyone with ambition would still hold on to hope. After all, once Long Fei Ye appointed an empress and settled the general situation, everything would be difficult.
It could only be said that the South Central Military Faction had underestimated Han Yunxi's importance in Long Fei Ye's heart. They had been used by the Baili Army as a military advisor, and Ning Cheng had suffered a calamity.
Fortunately, Long Fei Ye had asked for Han Yunxi's opinion, and Han Yunxi was a very understanding person.
Her sentence, "I am from Western Qin," had hit the nail on the head.
Compared to the Baili Army and the South Central Military Faction, Han Yunxi preferred to fight for military merits in the western region, which wasn't as ambitious.
If the generals in the western region knew that they had left a good impression on the empress, who would be in charge of Cloud Realm Continent's military affairs in the future, how would they feel?
Long Fei Ye looked at Han Yunxi and smiled helplessly. He didn't ask for her opinion and simply said, "In the future, I'll leave all the memorials related to the Northern Li battlefield to you. How about it? "
Although there were many memorials related to the Northern Li battlefield, in the end, they were all about the same thing.
They wanted Ning Cheng to be cannon fodder, the Ning Clan Army to die on the front lines, and the Baili Army to claim military merits. Long Fei Ye believed that with Han Yunxi's current energy, she would be able to handle it.
Of course, if Han Yunxi couldn't handle it, he would allow her to give the order to throw away all the memorials related to the Northern Li battlefield in the future!
Setting aside personal matters, Long Fei Ye was also serious. Stopping the war was the wisest choice now. He didn't want to see any more memorials related to the Northern Li battlefield.
Han Yunxi was very surprised. She looked at Long Fei Ye for a long time and muttered, "Long Fei Ye, you're so willful!"
Long Fei Ye had already picked up the other memorials and was flipping through them. He didn't even look up and casually replied, "As long as you're happy."
A trace of craftiness flitted through Han Yunxi's eyes. "Aren't you afraid that I'll be biased?"
This time, Long Fei Ye immediately looked up and asked seriously, "Who do you want to be biased towards?"
"You!" Han Yunxi answered without the slightest hesitation.
Long Fei Ye thought that Han Yunxi would refute the memorials a few more times before giving a clear order. Unexpectedly, Han Yunxi actually gave Ning Cheng a military order in his name on the spot. All matters related to the Northern Li battlefield would be decided by Ning Cheng, and there was no need to ask for instructions.
After Han Yunxi gave the order, Xu Donglin also delivered the letter from Medical City. The letter said that Gu Beiyue had already extracted the plague's poison from the medical academy's warehouse and told them not to worry.
Although Long Fei Ye knew that the news was false, he still took the letter and read it carefully.
"I'm going back." Before Han Yunxi left, she asked, "Do you still want to drink old hen soup? I'll have Granny Zhao boil some more. "
"It's up to you." Long Fei Ye said lightly.
As soon as Han Yunxi left, Long Fei Ye's eyes dimmed. He pinched his eyebrows and fell into deep thought.
Soon, Han Yunxi's military order in Long Fei Ye's name was passed down, and it set off a big wave in the military world. Although the Baili military faction and the Zhongnan military faction were very dissatisfied, that was a military order, and no one dared to say anything. From then on, no one dared to submit memorials and interfere with the Northern Li battlefield.
Many people were trying to guess under what circumstances Long Feiye had issued such an order. Had Han Yunxi whispered some pillow talk to him?
Who knew if they would be depressed to death if they knew the truth?
Ning Cheng was also very surprised when he received this military order.
At this time, Ning Cheng was stationed in Northern Li's largest grassland, the Xilin Grassland. He had already made sufficient arrangements. His troops were stationed in three different directions, and he had sufficient supplies.
When the time came, the three armies would head north together and besiege the Northern Dynasties Emperors.
By the end of spring and the beginning of summer next year, the Northern Dynasties Emperors would have run out of provisions and other supplies. At that time, he would definitely be able to conquer the entire Northern Li within two months!
"This is the Western Qin princess's idea, right?" Jin Zi sneered.
"If it wasn't Long Fei Ye's idea, would this order be given?" Ning Cheng retorted.
Jin Zi patted Ning Cheng's shoulder and said Coldly, "They're family."
Ning Cheng slapped Jin Zi's hand away and looked back. "What do you mean?"
"Next year, we'll conquer Northern Li and return the slave contract to me. We'll go to Wintercrow. You help me investigate my background, and I'll help you do business. How about that?" Jin Zi asked. "It's better to be rich than a general!"
"My Di Clan does business. Do we need your help?" Ning Cheng retorted.
"East Wu's slave trade is a fat piece of meat!" Jin Zi laughed.
"My Di Clan sells everything, but we don't sell people."
Ning Cheng was about to leave after saying these words, but Jin Zi stopped him. "Where's the warhorse? Long Fei Ye has so many soldiers under his command, and they're all eyeing you. It's a pity that you don't want to earn their money. "
"You seem to understand the current situation." Ning Cheng said mockingly.
"Thanks to you, I have no choice but to understand."
Jin Zi shrugged helplessly and sat to the side. Ning Cheng also sat down and asked seriously, "In the end, you still want to investigate your background?"
"Of course!" Jin Zi's face was serious and no longer joking.
Ning Cheng had advised him more than once to make the act real and accept the identity of the Black Tribe's orphan. Unfortunately, he wasn't interested.
Ning Cheng had his own plans. If Jin Zi didn't control the Black Tribe's orphans, no one else would be able to control them. If he couldn't control them, he could only exterminate them and not leave any future troubles. Compared to the latter, he preferred to leave the Black Tribe's power behind for Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi to use. After all, the army that could understand the language of beasts was a strange army. More importantly, they were familiar with Northern Li and the grasslands.
However, Jin Zi refused again and again, so Ning Cheng didn't try to persuade him.
"Men, bring wine!" Ning Cheng laughed. "I haven't been drunk for a long time. Tonight, I won't go home until I'm drunk!"
Drunk?
Jin Zi had already been cheated by Ning Cheng several times. He and Ning Cheng had drunk several times. It was clearly Ning Cheng who wanted to get drunk, but in the end, he was the one who got drunk. Ning Cheng, on the other hand, was still very sober.
Although he was cheated time and time again, Jin Zi still readily agreed. "Okay, I won't stop until I'm drunk!"
Drunk?
Would he not think of Mu Ling 'er then? He would not think about her purity, her stupidity, her foolishness, her lips, her teeth, and everything about her …
Mu Ling 'er, are you still chasing after Qi Brother at this moment?
Mu Ling 'er, it's been so long. Have you ever thought of me and our promise in a year?
At this moment, Mu Ling 'er was coaxing little Tang Tang to sleep in the Tang Sect.
She didn't know how many times Jin Zi had been drunk in the grasslands of Northern Li. She also didn't know what Qi Brother was going through in Medical City. She didn't even know where Qi Brother was.
She had been waiting for Tang Li to bring Ning Jing back to the Tang Sect. Then, she would be able to rest assured about little Tang Tang and see Qi Brother.
She didn't even know why she was going to see Qi Brother. She just wanted to see him …
