Chapter 54 Chapter 17 Moving Northward

Leaving the Dagong Supervisor's Mansion, Longying went to the Zhenguan Hall to meet Wu Zhao. She was busier than Longying, and she waited for half an hour before being interviewed by her.Long Ying spoke out all the requests, and Wu Zhao ordered Shangguan Wan'er to record them one by one. Wu Zhao said: These requests are reasonable and reasonable, and I will grant them all.Now I have removed all obstacles for you, so that you can give orders, and no one will dare to obey.Just now I summoned Ningyan and warned her face to face not to interfere in our war with the Khitan, otherwise I would not be polite to the Turks.

Long Ying thought to himself, no wonder he met Ning Yan on the Luohe North Avenue, and said: How does she react? Wu Zhao's eyes flickered coldly, and said: "She said that if we don't intervene in their disputes with Tubo, they will also stay out of our Dazhou and Khitan people's affairs.How dare you!How dare you take the opportunity to threaten me. Long Ying's heart turned cold and he was speechless. Wu Zhao smiled and said: I have your Dragon Eagle card in my hand, how could I be threatened by her?What's more, the Turkic people's ambitions for Middle-earth are common to all passers-by, but I want to know your thoughts first.

Long Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and said: The biggest threat to the Turkic people now is the Khitan people, not us.Zhizhong claims to be the Supreme Khan, and he clearly does not take Mo Chuo seriously. Only from this point, it can be seen that Zhong Zhong was dazzled by the victory and became defiant. The other small countries in China will form a rivalry with Motu. At that time, the Turks will be sandwiched between Tubo and Khitan, and it will be difficult for them to send troops south to invade our Great Zhou. Motu will never allow this to happen. Wu Zhao couldn't help but to nod the dragon's head, and asked: How will Mochuo deal with the current situation?

Long Ying said: I met Ning Yan on the road just now and made a secret agreement with her.Then he recounted the conversation with Ning Yan verbatim.Then he said: How does His Majesty respond to Ning Yan's request? Wu Zhao smiled and said: "Of course I refused, because I and your thoughts are the same.But in order to let Mo Chuo step down, I said that if he can stay out of the matter, I will reward them generously.Does Mr. Long think Mochuo will agree? Long Ying said: I will definitely agree, but after getting the benefits, as Ning Yan said, when the Khitans are fighting with us at the front line, we will send troops to the new city of the Khitans and shake the foundation of the Khitans.This city is really the biggest weakness of the Khitan people. It can be seen that although Jinzhong and Sun Wanrong are masters in the battlefield, they are not talents in governing the country.

Wu Zhao frowned and said: Doesn't this allow the Turks to take advantage of the fisherman? Long Ying said: This benefit must be given to them, and they cannot be stopped.Even if the Khitan threat is lifted, it is not appropriate to reset the Songmo Governor's Mansion, so as to avoid the obvious target of the Turkic attack. Wu Zhao said: Isn't this handing over the land of the Northeast to the Turkic people? The land of the Northeast refers to the two countries of Khitan and Xi. Long Ying said confidently: "It depends on whether we win this battle well, to boost the prestige of the Holy Majesty."If we can kill Jinzhong first, then Sun Wanrong, and hang their heads outside the door, who would dare to underestimate me at that time?

Wu Zhao said: Tell me more in detail. Long Ying said: First of all, we need to build momentum and show the national strength of our Great Zhou to everyone in the world, using the Grand Canal.The warships loaded with food, supplies and soldiers can't stop going northward from the Grand Canal to Youzhou. It is very interesting.On the front line, however, they assumed an all-out counter-offensive posture, pointing their fingers at Zhaozhou and nearby cities that had fallen into the hands of the Khitans, forcing Sun Wanrong to lead his army southward.In order to deal with the threat of the Turks, he will stay in Xincheng.When Zhongzhong's attention is all on the Turkic people, Xiaomin will lead the army to sneak thousands of miles, go straight to Jinzhong, cut off his head, and return to the army immediately.When the news of Zhongzhong's death spread, the Turks were about to launch an immediate invasion of Khitan.And Sun Wanrong will return to the army and retreat, and the best situation to annihilate the Khitan army will appear.

Wu Zhao said: "The key is whether you can kill all loyal people. I am afraid that only you can do it in the world."But if the Turks take the opportunity to occupy all the children and land of the Khitan people, it will be harmful to us in the end. Longying said: "Xiaomin really hopes that Mo Chuu is so stupid. At that time, the Holy One just needs to give Mo Chuu an ultimatum to immediately withdraw from the Khitan territory. If we dare not follow, we will wipe out his army in Khitan territory. Make him in a dilemma.On the other hand, we are prepared with both hands, and we will use surprise soldiers at any time to take advantage of their unsteady position and they are in the enemy's territory, and kill him by surprise.

Wu Zhao fell silent. Longying said: The question is whether we can solve the battle quickly and make a huge momentum.If Zhongzhong is killed suddenly, the Turkic people will rush to send troops before they are ready, which has already violated the taboo of military strategists.In addition, Sun Wanrong's immediate defeat would deal a serious blow to the morale of the Turkic people, making Mochuu not sure what kind of enemy he was facing. Forced to return to his own land, and then use diplomatic means, who would dare to act rashly in foreign countries? Wu Zhao nodded and said: You think very carefully and act according to your plan.There is no room for loss in this battle, Dragon Eagle, do you understand?

Long Ying said: "Xiao Min will definitely not fail the entrustment of the Holy One." Wu Zhao smiled and said: You do have a chance to be unpredictable. And said softly: "It's dark!"Go back and have a good rest.Waner!You send me Mr. Shangguan Wan'er was slightly taken aback, only then did she know how to agree. Leaving the inner hall and approaching the central hall, Shangguan Wan'er stopped.Long Ying put his arm around her waist, went to the side of the forest, kissed her sweet lips, Shangguan Wan'er wrapped her hands around his neck, and responded enthusiastically.

Long Ying caressed her back buttocks, the talented woman trembled unbearably.He left her fragrant lips, and said: How does King Liang feel? The flushed Shangguan Wan'er said softly: He regrets it very much. Long Ying was surprised and said: He actually knows regret? Shangguan Wan'er said: "The king of Liang and the king of Wei are very different people. This time I proposed to the emperor to unify the military order. I had discussed it with the minister who knew the art of war beforehand. It was not that I wanted to put Lord Ying idle, because he is I truly appreciate and rely on you, but I never thought that the Holy Majesty, who has always trusted him, would react so strongly.Can things still be salvaged?He promises to cooperate sincerely with you.

Long Ying was amazed that Wu Sansi really understood the way of seeing the wind and turning the rudder, and he was far better than Wu Chengsi in this respect.With a bitter smile, he said: The imperial order has been issued, who can change it? Shangguan Wan'er said softly: "What puzzles Wang Liang and Wan'er is that not only is the Holy Majesty, but also Di Renjie, a man who knows soldiers, is full of confidence in your proposal that violates the law of war. Long Ying said: For example? Shangguan Wan'er kissed him to show that what she was about to say was not malicious, and said: "The battle of Xiashigu caused the most serious blow to the morale of our army since the founding of the country. Now the army on the front line is a newly defeated army. It is almost impossible to fight." Undefeated, you can only persevere, and you have an inexplicable fear of the Khitan people, but you don't let the Khitan people in your eyes, it seems that they can do whatever you want.The charge of thousands of troops is not a confrontation between two people.Our army left the city wall and was no match for the enemy at all.King Liang's idea is to strengthen his own defense line first, and I am most afraid that you will be overjoyed and lead a lone army deep into the enemy's territory as you suggested to the Holy One just now. I really don't understand why the Holy Majesty does not object at all.oh!you::: Long Ying smiled and said: I like Wan'er's long legs the most, parting is imminent, how can I not touch them enough? Shangguan Wan'er's beautiful eyes were half closed, her breathing was rapid, and she protested: You haven't answered Wan'er's question yet. Long Ying smiled and said: Because both the Holy One and Di Renjie know what Wan'er and Liang Wang don't, Wan'er also seems to have forgotten what Hengkong Muye said about me.What King Liang thought was exactly what other so-called warriors thought. If Lao Tzu was as they expected, why would His Majesty ask Lao Tzu to go out on his behalf? His Majesty bet all his prestige and reputation on Lao Tzu. Kiss her again, and then say: Wan'er had better be mentally prepared. If she wins this battle, she will definitely reverse the political situation in Shendu, and she will never be able to return to the previous state.Only those who know how to change with the situation can keep everything in front of them. Shangguan Wan'er coquettishly said: "Don't follow me!"I touched you all over the body. Long Ying said: What an exaggeration!Lao Tzu has been very restrained. He stopped moving, grabbed her fragrant shoulders with his hands, and said with a smile: If you lose, you will go deep alone, if you win, you will win with a surprise army. These things vary from person to person.I'm leaving!I asked the king of Liang not to care about the momentary gains and losses, and visit him again when he comes back. Shangguan Wan'er reluctantly opened her beautiful eyes, and said: Be careful!Wan'er will miss you. Back at Gantangyuan, Feng Guoting was talking with Ling Yu and Xiao Ma, seeing him coming back, the latter smiled and said: The young general is coming to do something for your Xueer. Long Ying jumped off the horse and said in surprise: What kind of tricks are you doing? Feng Guoting said: I have been looking for a non-fading black dye everywhere, as long as I can turn Xueer into black, I won't be exposed to your identity from Xueer.He took out a box from his arms and handed it to Xiao Ma. Xiao Ma led Xue'er to the stall to do kung fu. Long Ying said happily: Mr. Feng is thoughtful.Glancing at Ling Yu, his heart moved, and he said: "Master Feng, can you do me a favor again, go to Guolao Mansion to invite Guolao to come forward, and preside over the marriage for Commander Ling and Juju. The most important thing is to tell him the cause and effect." Ling Yu was overjoyed, but worried: Shouldn't we wait for Wu Yanxiu to go out with the army before proceeding with this matter? Longying said: "All the martial arts children have no chance to go to war, and Lao Tzu has become someone no one dares to touch, plus Di Renjie, the elder of the country who has become more powerful, who dares to come to stroke the tiger's beard?"Right now is a once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity, but after you and Juju's bridal chamber, it's better to let Juju stay with Nie Fanghua, so it's even more foolproof. Ling Yu was overjoyed and thanked. Feng Guoting suggested: It is best for General Wu Chengchuan and Guo Lao to jointly officiate the marriage, to show Wu Yanxiu's strength, and guarantee that he will not dare to say a word. Longying laughed and said: That's it.Let's see how the pony is doing, I'm afraid Xueer will give him an old hoof. In the bathhouse.The hot spring water is steaming hot, filling the space, and Longying is immersed in the hot water, enjoying the service of the three women, like being in a fairyland on earth. Lili couldn't help throwing herself into his arms, hugged him tightly and said in a friendly voice: What is your husband thinking? Long Ying caressed her beautiful legs, and thought of Shangguan Wan'er's equally slender and plump legs, and remembered that she and Liang Wang pointed out that she didn't know the art of war.Dao: I was thinking about the morale of the army. Renya shook his arm and said, "Can you tell us about the army?"We are very concerned! Xiuqing hugged him from behind, and begged: My lord, tell me more about this, so we don't have to worry so much. Long Ying thought to himself, except for the one who knew he was the evil emperor, everyone else was worried about him, including the three wives.He can ignore other people, but he must comfort his wife well.Dao: Therefore, fighters must lead their bodies to encourage the soldiers, just like the heart makes the limbs.If the ambition is not motivated, the soldiers will not die, and if the soldiers will not die, the people will not fight.The way to inspire scholars is to make people's lives more generous.Nobility and ranks, relatives of dead and bereaved, and camps of the people, must be revealed. Lili said coquettishly: What is your husband talking about?People can't understand. Longying knew that she couldn't understand.He was thoughtful, and casually recited a paragraph of the military book he had read.These words come from the article "War Power" written by Wei Liaozi, a great military strategist, which left a deep impression on him when he was young. Winning a battle, chilling the enemy's courage, and inspiring oneself. Explained to the three women: This means that the leader must lead by example, inspire the fighting spirit of his subordinates by taking the lead, and treat them well, with clear rewards and punishments, and pensions for the dead.As a husband, there is the most unique thing, which is to die and survive.When trapped in a desperate situation, the only way to survive is to fight to the end, follow life and death, until the final victory. Renya panicked and said: Is it so dangerous? Long Ying scolded herself secretly, carelessly speaking out the plan in her heart.Laughing: It's just an analogy.Don't worry, the three wives, why haven't you ever met your husband?ha!whoever comes first! Under the sorrow of parting, the three women unreservedly offered their fiery enthusiasm. Before dawn the next day, Longying bid farewell to his lovely wife, disguised himself as a new generation of ugly doctor Wang Tingjing, and under the cover of Ling Yu and others, boarded the warship at Xintan Wharf. Si and officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs saw him off and boarded the ship. Longying watched Taiya's entourage condescendingly on the boat. There were six men and six women. The six men could be identified as warriors of the Xi tribe protecting Taiya. Two of the women were Taiya's personal guards, and the other four women were escorts. maidservant.The masculinity of the man and the beauty of the woman are obviously carefully selected to give a good impression. Long Ying met a female warrior named Wen Si yesterday, she is also the only one in the regiment who is proficient in Chinese and interpreted for Tai Ya. Purely based on the first impression, Long Ying was completely unaware that there was anything suspicious about Thea's entourage.Either no one has a problem, or the other party is too clever to show any flaws. He retreated to the barn on the warship, and all the sailors saw him and saluted him respectfully, they should have been ordered to come down. Xue'er was quite disturbed, when she saw Longying, she hopped her hooves and neighed, scaring the groom who was in charge of the stall to avoid it in a hurry.Longying hugged it by the neck, poured a few infusions of magic energy secretly, and Xue'er began to calm down. At this moment, Ke Chengman, the chief of the navy army on the ship, came to him and said: "The two boxes of herbs have been sent to the imperial physician's cabin, please the imperial physician check them out." Looking at his expression, one could tell that he felt contempt for his ugly self, and said: I'll go back to my room and see again! Ke Chengman said solemnly: We are about to set sail, the imperial physician had better go back to the room first, so as not to bump into the imperial physician accidentally when carrying things. Long Ying laughed dumbly and said: General Ke, don't worry, Wang is a person who can heal and also knows how to heal himself.Seeing that he looked bad, he had no choice but to go back to his room. After the sender and the sender quarreled, the warship set sail. Longying returned to the main cabin on the third floor, the small cabin on the middle floor, turned a blind eye to the two boxes of precious medicinal materials, and stood by the window to watch the two escorting warships. He already has a certain understanding of the warships of the Da Zhou Navy.The most commonly used ones are Lou Chuan and Mengchong Giant Ship.Then came the fighting ships, walkers and sea falcons.The battleship he was in had a load of five to six thousand stones.It can accommodate hundreds of soldiers, divided into three masts: front, middle and rear. The main cabin is located at the stern, with a height of three feet and a canopy in the middle.There is a female wall on the side of the ship, which can cover half of the body.Although it is not as flexible as the Shanghai Falcon, it is better in sailing stability and solid hull. Sea falcons imitate the shape of water birds that are good at piercing wind and waves. The head is low and the tail is high, the front is wide and the back is retracted, which is suitable for surfing and breaking the wind.Most especially the left and right floating boards reduce the lateral sway of the hull. Long Ying wondered why Ningyan was so confident about assassinating Tai Ya, did she actually come to block the river and make a surprise attack, repeating the situation of Da Jianglian's surprise attack on Hengkong Muye? He decided not to think about this issue for the time being, and was bored, so he opened the two boxes of medicinal materials and saw that they contained Baizhi, Xinyi, Qianghuo, Bupleurum, Ephedra, Danpi, Gentian, and Scrophulariae , Forsythia, Anemarrhena, Prunella vulgaris, Huang Ling, bear bile, Chuan Fritillaria, musk, Gastrodia elata, Ganoderma lucidum and many other medicinal materials, with formulas.I thought to myself that what Wu Zhao ordered people to prepare was really different, and it was so complete that it surprised people. Can't help being interested, while inspecting, he took out the "Treasure of Ten Thousand Poisons" given to him by the fat father-in-law, and was overjoyed to find that all the poisonous materials listed in the code are similar to the medicines that can heal people in the box. How to cooperate.The joy of reading that he cultivated in childhood returned, and he was dizzy for a while, until someone knocked on the door and called him to the cabin for lunch, and then he returned to reality from the world of books. Before reaching the cabin hall, a voice came out from the cabin hall and entered Longying's spiritual ears. Given his cultivation base, he was also shocked and almost couldn't believe his ears.
