..,!
At this moment, Qi King Li Xiang's forehead was already sweating.
He was very afraid of his father.
My father has been on the throne for nearly thirty years, and the prestige he has accumulated makes his every move exude an intimidating majesty.
Even as a prince, King Qi felt a little scared.
"Father, in my humble opinion, it is better to send a large army to Ningzhou for reinforcements. Although Zhao Xun has temporarily repelled the monster once, if the monster comes back, the situation will definitely become very dangerous. The people of Ningzhou They are all the subjects of Emperor Father, and they must be eager for Master Wang’s arrival!”
King Qi thought that his words would not go wrong, but Emperor Xianlong sneered and said: "Is this your idea? Do you know that the army is now stationed in the north and southwest, and some in the west, and the rest are stationed in Yongzhou guards Chang'an's imperial army. Which army do you think I should mobilize, and who should I order to lead it?"
Emperor Xianlong's words shocked King Qi, and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "I know my fault, I know my sin..."
"That's all, don't kneel down all the time. I feel upset when I see you."
Emperor Xianlong turned to Liu Xu, Minister of War, impatiently.
"Liu Aiqing, what do you think?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I feel that the deployment of troops is necessary, but it cannot affect the security of the Gyeongsang region."
With King Qi's lessons learned, Liu Xu was naturally very careful when speaking, for fear of touching Emperor Xianlong's inverse scale.
Sometimes the emperor's thoughts are really hard to figure out. If he guesses wrong, he may end up in an extremely embarrassing end.
"Then where do you think we should mobilize our forces?"
"In my opinion, we should mobilize the troops nearby. Luzhou's army is the most suitable."
Liu Xu said word by word: "Luzhou is not far from Ningzhou, and the army can arrive in three to five days at most. Moreover, the Lu people are brave and good at fighting. Mobilizing Luzhou officers and soldiers to Ningzhou will definitely solve the urgent need."
"Um."
Emperor Xianlong responded slightly, but no attitude could be heard.
"That's what the supervisor thought."
Emperor Xianlong turned to Yuan Tiangang again.
Yuan Tiangang, who had been silent all this time, bowed slightly and continued in a harmonious voice: "Reporting to your majesty, in my opinion, it is most appropriate to mobilize Luzhou troops to go south, and it will not affect the overall defense of our Zhou army."
Mobilizing the army is never something that can be decided at once.
As the saying goes, pulling one hair affects the whole body.
The mobilization of troops and horses in one place is likely to cause a chain reaction.
The army in the north must not be moved. The troops stationed there account for more than half of the total strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They are on guard against the northern barbarians and demon sects.
The northern barbarians have been eyeing the Central Plains and are ready to go south at any time.
As their behind-the-scenes supporter, the Demon Sect has always provided support to the barbarians.
This forces the defense zones represented by Shuozhou and other places to be on alert at all times.
In the south, the troops are concentrated in the southwest.
The garrison in Jiannan Road accounts for half of the entire southern army.
This was mainly to prevent witches and Gu masters. Many remaining barbarians from the south fled into the Min Mountains.
And many of them are witch and Gu masters.
The power of witch masters lies in their ability to manipulate people. Living people are like puppets under their spells.
What's even more terrifying is that the witch and Gu master can also control the dead.
This allowed the Jiedushi of Jiannan Dao of the Great Zhou Dynasty to keep strict surveillance on the barbarians and witchcraft masters deep in the mountains to prevent them from doing things that threatened the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The army of Luzhou is different. Luzhou is located in the middle, neither south nor north.
There is no need to worry about the northern barbarians, nor the southern barbarians.
The people of Lu are brave and good at fighting, so they are perfect for mobilizing reinforcements.
"Okay, then pass on my decree and mobilize Luzhou troops to go south."
…
…
After leaving the palace, Qi Wang Li Xiang returned directly to Qi Wang's Mansion.
"Come here, ask the prince to come and see this king."
Li Jianye, the eldest son of Prince Qi, has been staying in the palace to compile anthologies these days and has not gone out.
When he learned that his father had summoned him, he immediately put down what he was doing and came all the way.
"The son pays homage to his father."
Li Jianye saluted Qi King Li Xiang respectfully.
"Something happened in Ningzhou."
King Qi said straight to the point.
Li Jianye frowned slightly and said, "Ningzhou? If my son remembers it correctly, Zhao Xun should be in Ningzhou now, right?"
"Yes. I was summoned to the palace by His Majesty just now for this matter. The monsters attacked Ningzhou in large numbers, and Zhao Xun led his troops to fight to the death. After a bloody battle, Ningzhou City was barely defended."
Hiss, Li Xiang took a breath when he heard this.
"So, the monsters are coming with great force. But why did they suddenly attack Ningzhou?"
King Qi shook his head and said: "I don't know either. But it's about Zhao Xun, so I should ask some questions."
"What do you mean, father?"
"His Majesty is going to send people to Luzhou to mobilize troops to reinforce Ningzhou, so I plan to send one of my own to go to Ningzhou to express condolences to Zhao Xun."
Teleportation can only be mastered by top practitioners.
Even the King of Qi cannot command such a top practitioner.
So we could only rely on sending people from Chang'an to deliver the message.
"This is simple. My son will send someone to do it."
"Well, keep a low profile and don't attract attention."
…
…
After a period of recuperation, most of Ningzhou's soldiers have recovered.
Wu Quanyi's cultivation level has also recovered to seven or eight points. Although he has not returned to his peak state, there is no big difference from the outside.
Zhao Xun also gradually came out of his emo mood.
In the words of Wangcai, people must learn to look forward after all.
Not to mention, Wangcai is the kind of person who is the most optimistic and optimistic.
No matter what happens, Wangcai can always face it optimistically.
Zhao Xun had to learn this mentality.
"My dear disciple, my junior uncle has replied to your letter."
Wu Quanyi put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Do you want to hear it?"
Zhao Xun quickly praised him and said: "Of course, my teacher, please tell me quickly, otherwise you will make me anxious to death."
"Haha, see for yourself."
Wu Quanyi handed over a piece of tissue paper from behind.
Zhao Xun took the paper from his mentor and read it carefully.
"The imperial court sent people to Luzhou to mobilize troops and let Luzhou troops go south for reinforcements..."
He looked a little serious.
"Why mobilize soldiers from Luzhou instead of Yongzhou soldiers and horses."
Zhao Xun knew that compared with the soldiers and horses of Gyeonggi Province, the combat effectiveness of Luzhou soldiers was far inferior.
In other words, the imperial court did not choose the most capable army to reinforce.
This Emperor Xianlong, who is not a son of man, does not know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd.
This guy is full of bad ideas, but he's also hard to figure out.
Zhao Xun secretly cursed in his heart.
"My junior uncle didn't explain?"
"No."
"Well, that's normal. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have used teleportation to deliver the news."
"If I hadn't taken care of my nephew, we would have known about the news more than ten days later."
