Discussions in the palace yielded no results, so Jiang Qiulu directly delegated power to Jiang Chunxiao.
He has the final say on matters related to Jinlong Pass.
Whether to attack or defend, it all depends on the timing.
When it comes to guarding the border, Jiang Chunxiao understands the mystery better.
"Brother Emperor, will delegating power to Chun Xiao cause dissatisfaction among the ministers who oppose him?" Jiang Donglin asked.
But at this time, Jiang Qiulu smiled.
"Dong Lin, actually, this result just illustrates a problem."
"Some people in the DPRK are opposed to it, and some are in favor of it."
"How about we directly give the power to Chun Xiao and let him make the decision."
"In this way, we will not offend the courtiers, but we can also adapt to the situation on the front line." Jiang Qiulu said.
Jiang Qiulu felt that the court was not his own.
Although ministers will certainly act according to orders, the most important thing is the people's hearts.
If the hearts of the people are not unified, how can the Great Xia Dynasty be passed down for thousands of generations?
After finishing all the business, Jiang Qiulu and Jiang Donglin went to the princess mansion together.
At this time, Concubine De was also here, holding Jiang Longchen in her arms.
"Long Chen, let Father give me a hug."
Jiang Qiulu took it from Concubine De and held it in his arms.
Jiang Longchen was the son of Jiang Qiulu and Concubine De, and the current crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Although he is just a baby now, Jiang Qiulu believes it.
With the resources of the royal family, Jiang Longchen will definitely be qualified to be the next emperor.
As his successor, Jiang Qiulu has high hopes for him.
"That's right, concubine."
"I wrote a recipe."
"Let the people in the imperial dining room prepare according to the content above." Jiang Qiulu took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Concubine De.
Concubine De took it and took a look, with a puzzled look in her eyes.
Because there are some things here that even Concubine De has never heard of.
In fact, the content above is extra food for Jiang Longchen.
This is written by Jiang Qiulu according to modern memory.
As for the concubine's diet during her confinement period, it was also prepared by the imperial kitchen.
"Although these things are not common, they are of great benefit to Ai Fei and Long Chen." Jiang Qiulu said.
De Fei nodded with a smile and put the recipe away.
It's a pity that there is no milk powder in this era, and there are no conditions for making it.
Otherwise, Jiang Qiulu will definitely try his best to make it.
Jiang Qiulu stayed at the Princess Mansion until the afternoon, and then Jiang Qiulu returned to Tai Chi Hall.
As soon as he sat down, a guard came in from outside the door.
"Brother Imperial, here is the information about the battle situation on the western front again." Jiang Donglin said after checking it.
"The main force of the Western Region Dynasty has arrived?" Jiang Qiulu asked.
Jiang Donglin nodded.
"Hmph, I know that the Western Region Dynasty is so aggressive that it is impossible for it to back down." Jiang Qiulu said with a cold snort.
"Brother Imperial, the information also said so."
"The army of the Western Region Dynasty has organized its first attack."
"Under the tenacious resistance of the soldiers, the first echelon of the Western Region Dynasty, totaling 10,000 people, has been repulsed." Jiang Donglin said.
Jiang Qiulu was not surprised when he heard the news.
The soldiers on the western front have all been replaced with brand-new equipment, as well as trebuchets, ballistas and other equipment.
It’s strange that the Western Region Dynasty’s army can win.
However, war is not that simple.
Behind this first echelon, there are hundreds of thousands of troops who are watching eagerly and are bound to capture the Golden Dragon Pass.
In addition, the intelligence also pointed out.
The Daxia army will make defensive counterattacks based on the situation.
It won't be long before the Daxia army will take the initiative to launch an attack on the army of the Western Regions.
After Jiang Qiulu read it, he gently put the information into the brazier next to it.
"It seems that everything is going well."
"With a victory in the first battle, the morale of all the soldiers on the western front will be greatly increased." Jiang Qiulu said.
…
At the same time that Jiang Qiulu got the battle report on the western front, Prince Yong's Mansion also got the news.
"Father, it's really not what you expected."
"The Western Region Dynasty's first attack has failed." Li Qingxu said.
"The army of the Great Xia Dynasty now is different from before."
"Jiang Qiulu has a very weird way of training troops, plus he has brand-new equipment."
"With sufficient food and grass support, the Western Region Dynasty has no possibility of winning." King Yong said decisively.
Li Qingxu's heart dropped when he heard King Yong speak so decisively.
"Father, is there really nothing we can do?"
"If the Western Region Dynasty is defeated, we will have to fight alone in the Great Xia Dynasty." Li Qingxu said.
However, at this time, a curve appeared in the corner of King Yong's mouth.
"Don't worry, the failure of the Western Region Dynasty is only temporary."
"I believe it won't be long before Jinlong Pass will return to the Western Region Dynasty."
"Once the western front line is conquered by the Western Region, they can directly attack Zhuiyun City."
"Then we can continue to head towards Kyoto City." King Yong said.
"Could it be that...father has a way to make the Western Region Dynasty win?" Li Qingxu asked.
"Haha, it's hard to say how to win."
"But I still have a way to make Daxia Dynasty fail." King Yong said with a smile.
These somewhat contradictory words made Li Qingxu completely confused.
"Father, is there... any difference?" Li Qingxu asked.
"Xu'er, don't be impatient. We'll see the results after a while."
After King Yong finished speaking, he winked at Pang Fu.
After Pang Fu understood it, he immediately left Prince Yong's Mansion.
Western front, Jinlong Pass.
A man in black quietly approached the gate without the person on duty noticing.
In Jinlong Pass, Jiang Chunxiao was discussing strategies to defend against the enemy with Lin Rui, the current General of Zhenxi.
Lin Rui's deputy general Qian Xiangdong was guarding the door of the meeting hall.
Suddenly, there was a meowing sound.
"Huh? How could a cat appear in this place?" a soldier said strangely.
"I'll go take a look, you guys stay here to guard." Qian Xiangdong said.
Then, Qian Xiangdong followed the direction of the sound and came to a dark place.
Suddenly, the man in black who was just outside the city gate appeared here.
"How did you get in?" Qian Xiangdong asked.
It turned out that these two people knew each other.
"The defense here is too tight, so I can only use the rope to climb over the wall and enter here." The man in black said.
"Enough chatter, does the prince have any instructions?" Qian Xiangdong asked.
"The prince said that you should take action tonight."
"After the deed is accomplished, Your Majesty will be richly rewarded." The man in black said.
"The prince has promised me that after the matter is completed, he will give me the position of deputy commander of the Black Dragon Army."
"The annual salary will be three times more than now, don't forget it." Qian Xiangdong said.
"Of course I know this, as well as your favorite Miss Wu family."
"These are all yours," the man in black said.
A disaster is about to come to Jinlong Pass.
