Chapter 458: One Han as Five Husbands
The next day.
Liu Mingzhi was awakened by the rumble of war drums.
The sudden appearance of Huyan Yunyao, who wanted to go to the Jin Kingdom Palace to see the Queen to discuss matters yesterday, was caught off guard.
After Huyan Yunyao left silently, Liu Mingzhi focused entirely on the formation she sent, and he stayed up late to read it.
I don't know how long it has been since Liu Mingzhi started reading so much.
"Third brother, are you up? The drums have begun to be beaten at the gate of the Jin Kingdom. The rebels must be not far away. It won't take long to reach the capital of the Jin Kingdom."
With a bang, the door of the room was suddenly opened by Young Master Liu. Young Master Liu, who washed himself casually to eliminate his sleepiness, looked at Song Qing, who was standing outside in full armor: "Brother, let me buy the things you bought yesterday. Yet?"
Song Qing looked around and whispered softly: "They are all in my room. Now can you tell me what you prepared those things for?"
"It's not possible now. It's better not to know about things like this unless it's absolutely necessary. There's no benefit."
"Okay, okay, come with me. You talk every day without matching your words. I'd like to see what you can do."
The two pushed the door open and entered. Song Qing's room was filled with various jars, pots, gravel, charcoal and other things, all neatly stacked in a large box.
Song Qing waved his hand: "Let's take a look. Is there anything else missing? I'll buy more if it's not enough."
I checked it carefully and found that it was exactly the same as what I requested, and there were even a lot more of some items.
"The iron beads you mentioned are not easy to buy. The blacksmith shop in the Kingdom of Jin saw that we were dragons and was unwilling to sell them to us, so they could only use the hard gravel you ordered."
Liu Mingzhi grabbed a handful of gravel and started rubbing it: "Okay, it's better than nothing, brother, now you go and guard the door. No one can enter the room without my consent, not even if Emperor Jin comes."
"What the hell. I have to give you the handle of my room. Liu Mingzhi, do you think you are His Majesty?"
"Hey, my good brother, don't be too particular about this. I don't know why. I keep feeling my eyelids twitching. I always feel like something bad is happening. I feel bad if I don't prepare in advance."
"There's no need to hide everything from me. We're on the same rope..."
"Go away!" Young Master Liu waved a five hundred tael silver note in front of Song Qing's eyes.
Song Qing pursed his lips, squinted his eyes, licked his face and took the banknote from Young Master Liu's hand: "Master Liu, I will send you any orders at any time."
Then he picked up the banknote and walked out of the room without looking back, and consciously locked the door outside.
Young Master Liu in the room started tinkering with a mallet, weighing various items containing black powder from time to time on the scale in his hand.
"Your Majesty, you can't. You are the king of a country. How can you climb the city gate? There is a saying in the south that a gentleman does not erect masts. How much more can you be the king of a country?"
"I second my opinion, Your Majesty, there will definitely be a bloody battle above the city gate. If you are killed by a stray arrow... bah bah bah... I deserve to die for my crime."
"Your Majesty, you sit in the palace and leave the defense of the city to me."
The Queen shook her head slightly: "No, the traitors are plotting rebellion under the banner of Qing Jun. There must be many soldiers who are still kept in the dark. If I don't show up, those soldiers will make unnecessary charges, which will make the soldiers guarding the city The crisis is even greater. If I appear on the city, the morale of the rebels will be unstable, which will make it easier for our soldiers to defend the city and wait for reinforcements."
"Your Majesty, having said that, the veterans still cannot agree to His Majesty personally coming to the city to supervise the battle."
"I have made my decision. You don't need to say more. You all have to perform your duties and don't slack off."
"This... I obey the order."
The Queen looked at the retreating minister and sighed: "Hui'er, please bring me my armor."
"According to the order."
A moment later, the queen walked out of the apse in full armor and in an unparalleled appearance. Except for her height, she looked like a general who had experienced hundreds of battles.
The Queen's height is indeed quite high, almost as high as Young Master Liu. Furthermore, the ancestors of the Jin Kingdom are considered half of the nation on horseback. The people of the Jin Kingdom are tall and burly. Comparing the two, the Queen's height is Doesn't seem so outstanding anymore.
"Hui'er, when will the four-way reinforcements from southern Xinjiang arrive? Has the Admiral's secret report been delivered?"
"I haven't received it yet, but I think it's on its way. The vanguard general should arrive tomorrow."
Cao Cao came as soon as he said Cao Cao. Before he could walk out of the palace gate, an eagle's cry pierced the sky and landed neatly on Hui'er's shoulder.
Hui'er hurriedly took off the bamboo tube on the falcon and looked at the number: "Your Majesty, a secret report from Yingzhou City."
The Queen narrowed her eyes, took the bamboo tube in Hui'er's hand, pulled out the letter, and read it. After a moment, the Queen tightly clenched the letter in her hand: "Twenty thousand? Confidence or arrogance, it will be decided soon. I want to see Dalong." How much better is our new equipment than the Jin Kingdom’s armaments?”
"What? Your Majesty, Dalong only sent out 20,000 reinforcements? Is it too few?"
"Young Master? That's Long Wuwei. None of the four armies in southern Xinjiang can be an opponent of Du Lu's Shi Bibu in a single fight, but Long Wuwei can kill them until they lose their armor. , it can be seen that the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom are not the opponents of Long Wuwei."
"Your Majesty, do you admire Long Wuwei so much?"
"It's not praise, they deserve my respect. Believe it or not, if the Turks hadn't relied on the advantage of their war horses, the Long Wuwei could have swept through the invincible Turks. The Long Wuwei under Zhang Kuang was no better than the army under Hou Huo Qubing, the champion of the Han Dynasty. Inferior, the only disadvantage is that it lacks the advantage of war horses, otherwise how could I have repeatedly united with the Turks to limit the loss of war horses to Dalong!"
"One man becomes five barbarians?"
"That's right, it's not that the big dragon can't destroy the Turks, but it's because there are insufficient war horses. The Turks' habits have always been the same as those of cunning wolves. They fight when they can be beaten, and run away if they can't be beaten. The big dragon's army can't catch up at all, so they can only Watching them run away and being helpless.”
Hui'er nodded understandingly: "No wonder Princess Huyan sent the horses and war horses this time. Your Majesty would rather the treasury be depleted than let her live in the territory of Dalong. It turns out that this is the reason."
"This has always been the case between countries. They must help each other but also be wary of each other. When they do not have absolute strength to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, they can only make fun of each other."
"Your Majesty's biggest concern has always been the Great Dragon Dynasty? The Turks are also a force that cannot be underestimated!"
"Turks?" The Queen smiled disdainfully: "If the Turks were like they were a hundred years ago, I might care a little, but now the Turks are divided and there is nothing to worry about. As long as they don't unite, they will always be just a pawn in my hands."
Another hawk's call came, hovering in the air a few times and landing on Hui'er's shoulder.
The queen took the second secret report and read it, her eyes tightened: "What a ruthless second prince."
