In the first year of Qianhua in Daliang, the eighth year of Jin and Qitianyou.
The first year of Yongping of Shu Kingdom, the first year of Yan Yingtian...
Wu Yue... knows what year it is!
Since Zhu Wen proclaimed himself emperor on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, all the princes in the world have used different reign names.
Except for Jin Qi and other princes who still use the reign name of Zhaozong Tianyou, this year King Yan Liu Shouguang of Youzhou proclaimed himself emperor, and there was one more reign name used in the world.
In troubled times, choose one to behold.
…………
In Fengxiang Huanyin Workshop, there was suddenly the sound of chaotic footsteps, and people hurriedly rushed in. From one palace gate to another, the guards' coquettish shouts of questioning could be heard, and then loud, rough voices could be heard shouting.
"King Qi hasn't shown his face in three months. In the past, he just stayed in your women's house. But now that the war is coming, why is he hiding from us?"
"Could it be that you women imprisoned His Highness King Qi!"
The escorting maid couldn't stop him, and things happened suddenly, so he could only let this group of military attachés rush in.
These military attaches were all dressed in iron armor. The red tassels were wetted by the morning mist and slightly stuck to the iron helmets. As they moved, the sound of armor leaves intersecting echoed gently in the corridors of the palace. It was really Quite impressive.
The strong military attache in front, with bloodshot eyes, just kept moving forward with his sword in hand.
As they gradually arrived in front of the Council Hall, they were stopped by a group of maids who kept coming, and they drew their swords and surrounded them outside the hall.
It was at this moment that a tall, plump figure opened the palace door and walked out, laughing with a charming voice.
"Why are you so anxious, Mr. Jieshuai? It's not that His Highness King Qi is suffering from a stubborn disease and cannot see people. All you have to do is hand over the general's report. His Highness can see it."
The military attaché known as Commander-in-Chief squinted his eyes and saw that it was Saint Ji Fanyintian who King Qi always brought with him. The palace door behind him was still tightly covered, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
Commander Jieh raised his hand to suppress the noise of other military attachés behind him, then cupped his fists and bowed his hands in a distant salute.
"Sheng Ji doesn't know that since Daqi broke off diplomatic relations with Shu, Shu has stationed troops on the border several times. Since the disastrous defeat in Lizhou in June, its arrogance has become even more arrogant. Now Wang Zongkan is stationed in Lizhou and has provoked many soldiers on both sides. There is friction. And King Qi has been avoiding seeing you, isn't he just sitting back and watching the power of Shu!"
Fanyin Tian waved his hand to let the maids around him disperse, then covered his mouth and chuckled.
"Your Majesty, Jieshuai, you are serious. It is true that King Qi has not seen you. It's just that this stubborn disease is extremely contagious and countless doctors are helpless. If your Excellency submits the military report, King Qi will give a reply to the generals. But Jieshuai led the generals in like this." Come, I’m afraid I’ll attract criticism.”
"Fart! You bitch, don't be so shameless. I just lowered you a bit earlier. The situation is like this, who has the time to argue with you? Let us go in to meet King Qi quickly, otherwise don't blame us for the sharp knives in our hands. !”
Fan Yintian just fell silent, and behind the handsome military officer, a tall and strong military attaché with a scar on his face shouted angrily at the top of his lungs. Judging from the posture in his hand, he was already planning to draw out his saber.
Jieshuai just raised his hand to stop him, and then looked at Fanyin Tian with a serious face.
"Please Sheng Ji, please don't blame me. The brothers followed King Qi all the way up from the pile of dead people. They are just worried about King Qi. If so, why don't you just meet him from a distance?"
The fragrant handkerchief in Fanyintian's hand was suddenly clenched tightly, and his heart sank.
Although Ji Ruxue can imitate the empress when she puts on the python robe, her aura cannot be imitated no matter what.
But just looking at it from a distance, I'm sure I won't be on a business trip...
Jieshuai's bloodshot eyes just looked straight at Fanyin Tian, and the dozen or so military officers behind him just looked over with wide eyes, panting.
"Here, please go in and report."
Commander Ji just ignored the maids around them who were staring at them, and then saluted with clasped fists.
"Thank you, Holy Lady."
Fanyintian smiled without changing his expression. The moment he turned around, his expression changed instantly, and he put his hand on the palace door in confusion. Just as he was about to push the door open, the door of the specially made large hall was suddenly pulled open from the inside.
The morning light was only faintly projected in, covering the slightly shining golden hair crown facing the sky. The dark red thorny gold python robe was worn on the man's body, his hands were just faintly behind his back, and his phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed.
"See King Qi!"
In just a moment, the sound of a leaf colliding could be heard behind Fanyin Tian. Among the sounds of crashing, there was only the dull sound of knees hitting the ground.
Fanyintian opened his beautiful eyes wide and looked at the empress with a calm expression in disbelief. I saw traces of weariness on his heroic face.
Fanyin Tian did not dare to say anything, and hurriedly stepped aside, bowing and standing beside the empress.
"In the early years, Wang Jian borrowed money from our country many times, and the relationship between the two countries was very good. But now Shu is provocative. If we don't send troops, just as Liu Jiedu said, our reputation as a country will be ruined." …”
"Liu Zhijun obeys the order."
The sturdy military attache who was called Commander-in-Chief by Fanyin Tian immediately clasped his fists and saluted: "The general is here!"
"Wang Zongkan is a brave man, and I am well aware of his name. Lizhou is the place where Wang Jian started, and it cannot be taken by force if it is defended. You can lead 60,000 troops out of Fengzhou and capture Xingyuan."
Liu Zhijun immediately raised his chest and raised his head: "Don't worry, King Qi. If the general cannot take Xingyuan, King Qi will take the head of the general."
The empress just waved her hand slightly: "Xingyuan is just a general direction. If you capture Xingyuan, Wang Zongkan will definitely send troops to help. If you encounter him, you can avoid the enemy and run away, but don't fight with him head-on."
Liu Zhijun stared with big bloodshot eyes, feeling quite unconvinced, but he just held back and stood up to worship.
"The last general takes orders."
The empress nodded lightly, put her hands behind her back, moved her eyes to the scarred military officer who had shouted the most fiercely before, and snorted coldly.
The scarred military attache was sweating on his forehead and immediately knelt down to salute.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty! I was really worried about Your Majesty's safety, so I insulted the Holy Princess, and I had no other intention..."
The empress waved her hand and said in a deep voice: "If the king says he doesn't see it, there is a reason why he doesn't see it. If he tries to force the palace like this next time, he will definitely be killed!"
All the military attachés, including Liu Zhijun, the governor of the Zhangyi Army in Jingzhou, bowed down.
"The general will not dare..."
The empress waved her hand lightly: "Go down, the war is coming, you must do your best."
Everyone bowed once more and then slowly stepped back.
Seeing Liu Zhijun walking at the end, the empress waved her hand to stop what Fanyin Tian wanted to say and stopped him.
"King Qi still has some instructions for the general."
Liu Zhijun has a beard on his face, with a sense of elegance on his face. His tall body is covered with armor, and he is known as a "Confucian general".
When the empress saw him bowing respectfully, she nodded slightly and said something.
"I have a strange army in Shu. Liu Jiedu may be able to use it in this battle. Although the person who leads the army is not under my authority, he will not interfere with you in leading the army. It would be best if he can use it. If you don’t get it, it won’t be a big deal.”
Liu Zhijun looked up and frowned in confusion.
"What is the identity of the person who King Qi said was leading the army...?"
Seeing the empress frowning, Liu Zhijun lowered his head: "Please forgive me, King Qi. I am just curious that his identity is not under King Qi..."
The empress waved her hand.
"It's nothing. It doesn't hurt to tell you in advance."
"The son of Zhaozong, His Highness Li Jing."
