Dongbo, the border of northern Xinjiang.
The Dongbo border troops on the city wall all looked up, with horror on their faces.
The two large birds suspended in the air were indeed terrifying. Their wingspan was nearly two feet. When they flapped, the city wall seemed to be surging with wind and clouds.
If it weren't for the people on the giant bird holding Dayu's fierce battle flag, the defenders on the Dongbo City Wall would have fired thousands of arrows.
They didn't think it was a human being, they just thought it was a legendary monster that had really come to the world.
The two people on the big bird were both wearing bright red priest robes, and they sent a message to the defenders on the city wall, so that they would know that the person coming was from Shangyang Palace.
Nie Wuzhi asked the defenders to make room on the city wall, and two big birds slowly landed.
The Dongbo border soldiers were all on guard. Although they stood back a little, they still aimed their crossbows at Nie Wuzhi and others, all of them looking nervous.
Nie Wuzhi said, "I am the one who teaches Nie Wuzhi from Shangyang Palace. I can ask your general to come and see me."
Lin Ye was not here, so Nie Wuzhi was naturally responsible for this pretense.
Not long after, the general of the border army came over quickly. He was a middle-aged man in his thirties. His skin was tanned and he looked very strong.
Nie Wuzhi glanced at him but did not speak first.
The general of the border army clasped his fists and said, "Excuse me, priest, why did you come back from the north?"
Nie Wuji replied calmly: "Go to Loufan and kill some thieves."
The general of the border army was shocked.
I thought to myself that no wonder people said that all the people in Dayu Shangyang Palace were like gods. Going to Loufan to kill some thieves came out of the mouth of Dalijiao, which was both explosive and reasonable.
Nie Wuji took off his Etiquette belt and threw it to the general of the border army. The general of the border army took it and looked at it carefully. He didn't recognize it...
Not everyone has seen this kind of badge.
"Priest, please wait for me later..."
Before the general of the border army finished speaking, Nie Wuzhi had already stepped towards the city: "Don't wait."
He said as he walked: "Lin Ye, the general of Dayu's cowardly army, and Ning Haitang, the general of Jingzhou's soldiers and horses, will be arriving later. Also, I'll let you know...several big shots are also arriving, which is better than just now." The two people whose names I told you are of higher status."
These words really frightened the general of the border army.
Someone with a higher status than the General of the Cowardly Army and the General of Jingzhou?
Nie Wuzhi said as he walked: "You go and prepare hot water and food. My boss will have to take a shower and change clothes when he arrives."
Proprietor?
The proprietor of the Dali Sect?
Could it be the real master of Shangyang Palace?
The general of the border army didn't know whether he should believe it or not, but the red brocade robe and unparalleled demeanor that he came riding on a bird couldn't be faked.
At least this is the first time that the border troops in the northern border of Dongbo have seen such a high-ranking figure.
Next, a scene that even more frightened and shocked the border troops appeared.
A ship is coming.
Everyone looked up and saw the spaceship hovering in the sky. Such a ridiculous thing made everyone present feel that they might be dreaming.
The flying boat landed slowly. Lin Ye and Ning Haitang came down first to check the situation, and then the old headmaster and Concubine Wan Gui accompanied the Supreme Saint Lord down.
Nie Wuzhi pointed at He Lianwang and said to the border general: "Lock this man up alone and keep him under good guard."
The general of the border army recovered a little from the shock and subconsciously asked: "Who is this person?"
Nie Wuzhi still looked calm and calm, and replied casually: "I just grabbed a Lou Fan Minister of War and came back."
Border Army General: "???!!!"
Lin Ye walked up to him and said, "Soon, a general from Dayu may come with three thousand Loufan cavalry. You can open the city gate and let him go."
Dayu's general, with three thousand Loufan cavalry?
The frontier general in Dongbo felt that he really should have entered some kind of dream. How could it be possible in reality?
So many absurd and bizarre things?
Soon after, everyone took a shower and changed clothes, then sat down to rest in the lobby of the Border Army General's Mansion. The Dongbo Border Army had already prepared meals for them.
The Supreme Sage took a sip of the tea and felt that the taste was bitter and unrequited, so he did not touch it a second time.
He looked at Lin Ye and said, "I thought you would go after General Lou Fan named Luo Zhi. This person works under Zong Zhengxian and may become a disaster in the future."
Lin Ye said: "I have also thought about it, but after much thinking, I still feel that keeping this person is more effective than killing him."
The Supreme Saint intended to question Lin Ye, and he nodded with satisfaction when he heard the answer.
Once generals like Luo Zhi gain greater power in the future, they will inevitably become an obstacle to Dayu's Northern Expedition, and may even be the biggest obstacle.
But if we try our best to kill him now, the rebels with a prominent political position will lose to the Loufan court prematurely.
With generals like Luo Zhi assisting Zongzheng in his prominence, Zongzheng Lianhai would have to pay a higher price if he wanted to win.
Lin Ye had told Taishang Shengjun before that even if Taishang Shengjun did not stay in Loufan, Loufan's life would not be easy in the next few years, and it would only become more chaotic every day.
Looking at this trend, the Loufan court did not have the power to annihilate Zongzheng's prominent rebels in one fell swoop.
If it lasts for three to five years, how can Lou Fanru regain his power?
"Holy Lord."
Xumi Pianruo said: "I think we should not rush to the Northern Expedition at this time. Should the Dayu border troops who stayed in Dongbo be withdrawn?"
The Supreme Sage smiled and said, "I am no longer the Emperor Dayu. You can ask the Emperor for instructions on these matters after you return to Geling."
Xumi Pianruo said: "The Holy King is closer..."
Ning Haitang said: "What do you mean, Master Xumi, with half a million troops here in Dongbo, spending a lot of money on food and drink every day? If Dongbo cannot afford the supply, it will definitely cause complaints from the people of Dongbo?"
Xumi Pianruo nodded: "General Ning is right... Think about it, if you are not in a hurry to attack Loufan, then you should let the people of Dongbo recuperate."
"Not only can we not defeat Lou Fan, but we can also arouse resentment among the Dongbo people. This will be extremely detrimental to the future Northern Expedition."
The Supreme Saint looked at Lin Ye: "I remember, you are still the Northern Expedition coach appointed by the Emperor?"
Lin Ye leaned over and said, "Yes, I am."
He looked at Xumi Pianruo and said, "In this case, I will send someone to send a letter to Ning Shehai, asking him to leave 100,000 people in the north of Dongbo, and the Dongbo people will provide food and grass supplies."
"We will leave another 100,000 people in Caoshu City. Caoshu City is not far from Yunzhou. The necessary food and supplies will be provided by Yunzhou."
Xumi Pianruo nodded: "This is a good idea."
As soon as he arrived in Dongbo, Xumi Pianruo resumed his status as the second assistant of the office. He should plan for Dayu and prepare for the future.
Lin Ye said: "Please ask Xumi Jinghong to stay in the northern border of Dongbo. Firstly, he can restrain our border troops, and secondly, he can also train troops for Dongbo."
He looked at the Supreme Sage and said, "General Xumi said before that he would take the three thousand Fuyao Battalion back to Caoshu City, but later I thought about it and it was a little inappropriate."
The Supreme Sage said: "It's good to stay here. If you have nothing to do, go out to the border and go to Loufan to meet the Loufan people."
Lin Ye nodded, and then said: "Then, do you think General Xumi's rank should be mentioned?"
Xumi Jinghong is a general of the Tiger Army, not a general. If he wants to command an army of 100,000 people, some of the generals in the army will be slightly higher than him, and some will be at the same level as him, so there will be a lot of inconvenience.
Xumi Pianruo looked at Lin Ye with some gratitude in his eyes.
He thought of these words, but as Xumi Jinghong's brother, he couldn't say them.
Even if Lin Ye said it, he would be accused of forming a clique for personal gain.
If the message is returned
Ge Ling's words may make many people think that Lin Ye is trying to form a party, support his own troops, or rebel.
The Supreme Saint smiled and said, "I've said enough. I'm no longer the emperor. What do you mean by these words?"
They wrote a memorial and sent it to Geling. As for the emperor's reply, I have no control over it. "
Then he added: "At most, I will write a letter to the emperor alone."
After discussing for a while, the topic immediately turned to when to return to Geling.
Taishang Shengjun meant that he did not want to go back. Since the Northern Expedition to Loufan was going to take place in five years, even if he did not stay in Loufan, he should stay in Dongbo to plan.
If he won't go, Concubine Wan Gui will naturally not go back, and neither will the old headmaster, so the only ones who will go back are Lin Ye and the others.
Lin Ye was actually not in a hurry to go back.
Nie Wuzhi and the others only felt that this arrangement was reasonable, because Lin Ye also had to stay in Yunzhou to reorganize the army and prepare for war.
But Xumi Pianruo felt something keenly.
In fact, there is no need for Taishang Sage to stay in Dongbo. There are still five years left. Taishang Sage can definitely go back to Geling to stay for a while and then go to Dongbo. If he doesn't go back, there must be more important reasons.
He could actually get some information from Ning Weimo, but Ning Weimo didn't dare to make it too obvious.
Xumi Pianruo was smart enough to analyze a lot of important information from the few words Ning Weimo accidentally mentioned.
For example, who is the true identity of the cowardly general in front of him?
For example, does the Supreme Saint King's seemingly hasty abdication really want to give it to His Majesty?
For example, if you want Dayu to really get rid of the root cause of his disease, are the rebellious actions of Wang Luoshen and Liu Tingsheng and others really enough?
if......
If a bigger change is needed, a bigger change is needed.
The Supreme Sage will not go back, and the General will not go back. Now it depends on whether the two great Lijiao will express their stance.
If Nie Wuzhi and Lu Junji, the two great rites masters of Shangyang Palace, do not return, then most of the changes will originate from Shangyang Palace.
When they were thinking about this, the old headmaster, who had been silent until now, looked at Nie Wuzhi and Lu Junji and said, "You two don't have to go back in a hurry. I can teach you how to practice if you stay for a while."
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
At that time, the Supreme Sage said that if I suppress Shang Yang Gong, I will bear the infamy, and you will also bear the infamy. But if I don’t handle the affairs of Shang Yang Gong and you don’t handle it, then it will be left to the people who come after you.
At that time, Shangyang Palace had become Dayu's biggest cancer, and if he tried anything else, it would be a river of blood.
The old headmaster's answer at that time was... His Majesty can memorize such things as name-calling, and so can I.
Some people will die now.
It's better than a river of blood in the future.
