Chapter 1176 Emperor List, Challenge (31)

This time the group returned to Beijing, Xue Qinglian did not follow along.

His matter has been settled, and now he is left alone, rather than going to a troubled place like the capital, he would rather stay in Xinghua Village, watch the sunrise and sunset when he is interested, and cover his head in his room when he is not. sleep well. When it was time to eat, the old lady yelled loudly, and could help him drive away the drowsy bugs.

This kind of rice worm-like life is what he has pursued all his life.

Since he can be a rice bug here, why is he running around here and there.

Xue Qinglian felt very satisfied, so satisfied that there was a little sparrow beside her that couldn't be chased away, so she could ignore it.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, after breakfast, the carriage in the Liu Family Courtyard left, carrying Liu Yusheng, Feng Qingbai, Liu Zhixia, Fu Yuzheng, the Empress Dowager and Sandouer.

The excitement of the New Year's Eve in Liu's compound was reduced a lot because a group of people left the house, but it didn't hurt the mood of the rest.

The current parting is short-lived, and they will be reunited soon, and the future can be expected.

"The canal is frozen and we can't walk by water. We can only take land to reach the capital. It will take at least a month. Queen Mother, this journey may make you and Dou'er suffer."

"The Ai family has eaten more salt than you have ever eaten rice, can the Ai family still suffer?" The empress dowager snorted softly, and Lan Hua raised her finger, "Let's go."

Liu Yusheng suppressed a smile, "It's already on the way."

"Well, then get on your way."

Liu Zhixia pressed his fist to his lips, coughed lightly, looked at Feng Qingbai, and got down to business, "Is there any latest news over there?"

Feng Qingbai shook his head, "Not yet, but it's coming soon. When we arrive in the capital, we should be able to receive the news."

"There is a canal between Xiliang and Nanling. The canal will be frozen in December. I am worried that Xiliang will take advantage of this time to launch an offensive. The entire freezing period will last at least three months. Three months, we here There is no way to cross the river to support..." Liu Zhixia frowned, his worry was not impossible.

Xiliang occupies a favorable location, and if they really want to send troops, they probably won't miss such an opportunity.

"There are 200,000 troops from Nanling on the border, as well as a veteran general, General Qin. Even if there is a real fight, it will not be a problem to last for several months. After returning to Beijing, I will order troops as soon as possible, prepare food and grass, and wait for March to cross the river. .”

It will not be overnight to make these preparations. It will be February when they return to the capital, and the one-month preparation is just right.

"hope everything is fine."

"Will do."

After a brief conversation, the adults quieted down, and only a few children's babblings remained in the carriage.

As for the empress dowager, who had always put all her energy on Croton and Hongdou, she appeared in a trance countless times on the way back to Beijing, and the young people noticed it.

Because I was worried about the border, this time I went back to Beijing almost day and night, and rarely stopped to stay on the way.

The empress dowager just kept silent, gritted her teeth and persisted, and also helped Liu Yusheng and Fu Yuzheng to take good care of Sandou'er.

With Liu Yusheng here, similarly, the fatigue of the group can be kept to a minimum after a long journey.

At the beginning of February, the carriage drove into the imperial city.

Liu Yusheng followed Feng Qingbai into the gate of the palace, and the emperor's order came from the back of the palace, and Xuanfeng Qingbai immediately entered the palace.

Feng Mohan is very anxious.

If it wasn't for his inability to leave the palace, he even wanted to rush to Nanling Palace to wait for the uncle himself.

In the past few days, he almost stepped out of a hole in the ground of the imperial study room.

"Your majesty, the lord is here, here we come!" Seeing the purple figure from afar at the entrance of the imperial study, Xiao Banzi cried out excitedly.

No wonder he was so excited, since the decree was delivered to the Nanling Palace, the emperor had already asked him a hundred and eighty times in a short time if the prince had come.

The magic sound pierced through his brain, and he could only endure it.

He expected the prince to come sooner than the emperor.

"Uncle Huang, hurry up, hurry up! There is no delay, please help me find a way!"

Before Feng Qingbai reached the door of the imperial study room, there was a bright yellow figure rushing towards him, reaching his side and boldly dragging him away.

"What's the rush?"

"It's a big deal, it's a big deal! Fighting broke out on the northwest border! I just received the news from there, and it was sent from the northwest a month ago!" Feng Mohan frowned extremely tightly.

The letter he received was from a month ago, that is to say, they have no way of knowing what is going on there now.

There is a one-month time difference between the northwest border and the Nanling Imperial City.

Feng Qingbai also frowned.

The order from the palace was too urgent, he was stopped when he just entered the gate of the palace, so he couldn't go back to the palace to ask the hidden guards of the palace if they had received the latest news.

From this point of view, the latest news should be that there has been a war over there.

Sure enough, Xiliang took advantage of this opportunity to launch an attack. The purpose of the attack was to take down the Nanling army in one fell swoop when Nanling was blocked outside the canal and could not support the Nanling army in time.

"Now the canal is frozen, and there is no support for crossing the river at Nanling. There are only two ways to do it. Either wait until the canal thaws in March, or dig ice to cross the river. But the time required for the two methods is actually about the same."

All in all, all in all, they can't help now, and they can't help in time at all.

Ignoring the young man who was chattering in his ear, Feng Qingbai took the information from the border and read it from beginning to end.

It happened to be the first day of the Lunar New Year when Xiliang Border Guard General Mao Taihe started the war.

It has been more than a month now.

"Uncle Huang, how long can General Qin last?"

"Not in a hurry for the time being, this is information from General Qin, but there is no tension in the wording, it only clarifies that the war has started, which proves that he is sure in a short time." Feng Qingbai sat down on the armchair with an expression on his face. There was no urgency, but looking at Feng Mohan's eyes with a bit of sternness, "It's just a war. General Qin is calm and calm on the battlefield. You are sitting in the imperial city, but you messed up first? Feng Mohan, you are the emperor. "

Feng Mohan's back went cold, "Uncle Huang's lesson is that as an emperor, you must have the ability to trust ministers with confidence. Soldiers will charge at the front line, and the king is their biggest backing."

Therefore, he, the king, cannot be messed up at any time.

Don't appear to be at a loss, and don't bluff.

This is precisely the time when he shows his abilities, and the time when he can gain the trust and support of the courtiers to the greatest extent.

"Immediately issue an order, order troops and generals, prepare food and grass ships, and prepare for departure at the canal dock. As soon as the canal thaws, leave for the border immediately."

The man's calm and indifferent voice next to his ears calmed Feng Mohan's restlessness, making his emotions calm and calm, and his chaotic mind gradually became clear.

Immediately, an imperial decree flew out of the palace and into the hands of the generals in the court, and at the same time, the imperial list for the challenge was posted on the gate of the imperial city.

Finally finished, great card. There are still three hours to take a bath for the child and prepare for tomorrow's update. I feel like my time is running out of toothpaste, and I can't even squeeze out a fingernail =. =!
