"Thank you, Emperor Song."

Zhongsun Guge bowed and felt aggrieved. He thought it was the Song Dynasty's request for Western Xia, but now it's his turn to say thank you.

Zhao Dongting said again, "This time, your Xixia Emperor will not go back on his word, right?"

Zhongsun Guge smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, my dynasty will transport gold and silver horses to Chongqing Prefecture. As long as your army reaches Chongqing Prefecture, you can see these gold and silver horses."

Zhao Dongting nodded again, stopped talking, just waved his hand, and walked towards the Yu Study Room.

Zhongsun Guge was led out of the palace by eunuchs.

After Zhao Dongting arrived at the Imperial Study, he asked Zhu Hecong and his brothers, Xuan Yuepeng, Miao Youli, Du Hu, Liu Zijun and Xiao Yulin to enter the palace.

The five were Tiankui Army, Tianshang Army, Tianyong Army, Tianxiong Army, and Tianjie Army Commander. Apart from the accident of Xiao Yulin, who led the Beggar Gang disciples to join the army when the Battle of Guangxi was about to end, Yue Peng and Miao Youli were people who had been in the Song army since Juzhou. Du Hu and Liu Zijun followed Wen Tianxiang and had been fighting with the Yuan army for many years.

After experiencing the successive battles in Guangxi, it is not an exaggeration to say that they crawled out of the pile of corpses.

At that time, the fifteenth imperial guards in the Song Dynasty, and now the commander of the commander is still alive, only eight people are left, just over half.

Yue Peng and the other two who received the call left the military camp one after another and rushed to the palace.

Outside the palace, Yue Peng and Miao Youli met unexpectedly.

Miao Youli was wearing a regular suit, but Yue Peng was wearing armor.

This surprised Miao Youli, "General Yue, the emperor summoned him, what are you doing to wear armor?"

Yue Peng laughed and said, "General Miao, the emperor summoned us and must go on a war. Unexpectedly, he should march into Kuizhou. We are wearing armor so that the emperor can know that we are ready."

"You guy."

Miao Youli pointed at Yue Peng, feeling a little amused, "I'm really getting more and more slippery."

When Yue Peng was just attracted by Zhao Dongting, he was the head of the front office of the Palace. He was much higher than Yue Peng in terms of qualifications and seniority. Moreover, his personal relationship with Yue Peng was also good. So there was not much attention.

Yue Peng just laughed, "General Miao, if you really want to go out to war later, don't compete with me for this opportunity! After we return from triumphant return, how about we give you two jars of good wine?"

Miao Li shook her robe sleeve and said, "You guy, you're just starting out, I'll give me eye drops."

The two walked side by side into the palace.

Miao Youli probably never thought about fighting with Yue Peng, and said, "Don't worry, even if I want to fight, I can't fight you young people. I'm about to retire, and I really never thought about going to fight in the past few years. As long as I can train a few people who can succeed the Tianshen Army for the emperor before leaving office."

The commanders of each army were all second-rank military generals. According to the new policy, they had to retreat to the second line at the age of 60 and retire completely at the age of 65.

Now, Miao Youli is already in the 57-year-old grade. It’s only three years since he can be the commander of the Tianshang Army.

Yue Peng saw that although Miao Youli spoke readily, his eyes were still a little dim and he no longer laughed, and said, "General Miao, you are in your prime. I think you can still lead the army to fight. Only a general like you, who has been through battle for a long time, can those enemy troops escape in sight!"

"Flame all."

Miao Youli said angrily: "I know my own situation very well. I have suffered a lot of secret injuries over the years, and in this season, it is the most painful."

As he said that, he bent down and beat his knees.

This old cold leg was the root cause of the disease that was cut by someone with a knife back then.

But he stood up, looked at the palace hall, and said, "But if the emperor asked me to go to war, I will still lead by example."

The general gradually became old and his pace was still firm.

Yue Peng looked at Miao Youli's back and was stunned.

He was still young, but from Miao Youli's back, he seemed to see his future self.

However, that will happen decades later.

Yue Peng showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his steps were a little faster, and he chased Miaoyouli.

After the five people arrived at the imperial study room, the deputy military commander Su Liuyi and the Minister of War Zhang Xi had arrived first.

Zhao Dongting was talking to the two of them.

"Are you here?"

The five people gathered outside and asked for a meeting. When Zhao Dongting saw them, he smiled and said, "Give him a seat."

Zhu Hecong and Zhu Haiwang, who were in the imperial study but were very popular, quickly brought a chair.

Yue Peng and his friends had greeted Su Liuyi and Zhang Xi and sat down on a chair.

Zhao Dongting said directly: "Xixia has agreed to my conditions. I plan to send someone to take over Kuizhou. However, the Dali imperial guards have been constantly harassing the Luodian border recently. I suspect that they deliberately wanted to hold on to Deputy Military Order Zhang who could arrive at Chongqing Prefecture first. If so, then the White Horse Army in Shu should be intensively planning to capture Chongqing Prefecture before we take over Kuizhou. You will discuss this matter."

Yue Peng and his friends looked at each other.

Apart from the accident that Xixia agreed to Zhao Dongting's conditions, it was not a secret that the Dali imperial guards raided the border. As commanders of the capital, they were in the imperial city, but obviously had thought about these things.

Yue Peng said: "Emperor, Dali, Shu are in a mess. If the White Horse Army dares to capture Chongqing Prefecture, why don't we beat them out?"

Zhao Dongting laughed, "You are extremely brave and your strategy is acceptable now, but the problem is still not comprehensive enough. Dali is an enemy country, and it is okay to attack our borders, and our dynasty can attack them. But have you ever thought about it? The white horses in Shu are still our Song army in name. They take Chongqing Prefecture to expel the enemy troops in the Western Xia. If we launch an offensive after they take Chongqing Prefecture, it is to attack our own robes. I am the emperor. If you attack him, you can arrange for them to plot against rebellion, but it takes too much energy, manpower and material resources, and it is not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time. Just building momentum will take a long time."

Yue Peng frowned, "But we are still in Changsha. If we want to go to Chongqing Prefecture, we can't be faster than the White Horse Army who are in Tongchuan Prefecture, right?"

Zhao Dongting narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "That's why I announced that you came here to discuss. If we need to spend less time to get Kuizhou, we must be ahead of the White Horse Army."

Yue Peng remained silent.

Everyone frowned slightly.

Even if we immediately go to Chongqing Prefecture, there is not much chance of arriving at Chongqing Prefecture before the White Horse Army arrives at Chongqing Prefecture.
