The wind and rain outside are getting stronger, and the sky and earth are gray.
Black Monkey and Xunxiang both returned to the hut at the entrance of the courtyard. Not a single guard was left in front of the main house in the backyard. Only a few guards were arranged in front of the east and west rooms connected to the main house with a circular corridor.
A guard.
No one other than the ghost in the house knew about the conversation in the house. Li Tianying and the other three ghost generals in the house pondered for a moment and then nodded their heads together. Then Huang Tu, who was in high spirits, shouted in a rough voice:
"Yes, it is to rob them so that the Beiyin Dynasty can cause heavier losses in a short period of time. The army is slowly rebuilding, and the rebuilding of fortifications is also very difficult."
"That's not necessarily the case." Xiao Shizhu did not nod in agreement, but after Li Tianying thought deeply, he stared at the map in front of him and said thoughtfully: "The Northern Yin Dynasty has a deep foundation, a vast land and abundant resources. There are also ghost kingdoms in the underworld.
Paying tribute, this small loss will not damage the foundation and vitality of the Beiyin Dynasty."
"General Li Tianying's words are reasonable, and the last general also thinks so." When the words fell, the golden eagle beside him slightly nodded and said: "I think the lord's plan is just to put some pressure on the Northern Yin Dynasty, but it does not
cannot make it
His vitality must be severely damaged. Of course, when the old ghost from Fengdu knows that the pass has been attacked and supplies have been plundered, he will naturally hurry up the peace talks and force the envoys of the Northern Yin Dynasty to unconditionally agree to our conditions, so as to gain time to recuperate as soon as possible. "
.
Although Li Tianying and Jin Diao were both generals, they were good at thinking about issues other than war. This was incomparable to vulgar ghost generals like Huang Tu who only knew how to fight and fight on the battlefield.
But Loess also has his own advantages, which is that he can listen to rational suggestions and analysis. That's why his military rank is ranked as a general, and Xiao Shizhu dares to use him as the minister of the earth-guarding king.
"Yes, but this is only one. The second is that the war in Dongyingzhou also requires supplies." Xiao Shizhu nodded his head, looked at the golden eagle, and said unhurriedly: "Most of the defenders of Dushuo Mountain
evacuate, but there are still many stubborn resisters in the continent.
Pluto and Fengdu Army. If you want to eat Dongyingzhou, you need not a little bit of supplies. If we produce it ourselves, it is better to fight to support war and rob his mother. We should also be the king of the mountain and rob him of the queen of Beiyin Dynasty.
Stuttering on wine and eating meat."
The three ghost generals were delighted when they heard this and burst into laughter.
"Thousands of miles of coastal defense cannot be carried out with five steps, one post, and ten steps. This just gives us a loophole." With hearty laughter, Xiao Shizhu slowly moved his hands up along the southeastern coast of Liutianzhou on the map.
, all the way straight to the mouth of Wangchuan River, due east of Liutianzhou.
The inspiration for his plan came from his daughter. This is what Xiao Fuling did when he was touring various places in the south. However, Xiao Fuling's handwriting was naturally inferior to that of her father, Xiao Shizhu.
Xiao Fuling only attacked an island, but Xiao Shizhu wanted the navy to come and go without a trace on the vast sea. Attack the coast thousands of miles away in Beiyin Dynasty, and attack any point by surprise.
Then leave quickly.
"You can plunder the southeast and even the eastern areas at will." Then, Xiao Shizhu tapped his fingertips at the mouth of the river, and said: "I ordered the Xuanjiao followers three days ago to lurk in these places.
Inquire about the situation of the troops stationed in the Beiyin Dynasty. The information they obtain will soon be continuously sent to your military soldiers. Gongyuan's navy warship will also arrive at Shuoyue Island in five days to pick you up. Logistics
of protection
Obstacles have been arranged for you. The naval forces on the Qinglong Sea and the island garrison will fully cooperate with you. And what you have to do is to follow Gongyuan's main navy to continuously invade places like Liutian Continent. If you don't receive my order,
Before receiving further instructions, you can continue to rob and harass the enemy's garrison, granary and coastal defense outpost. I don't mind if you rob too much, but I might not be happy if someone robs too little."
The three ghost generals immediately stood up, put their hands behind their robes, saluted, and said loudly: "I obey your orders!".
"But there is one thing." Xiao Shizhu gestured for them to sit down, and then said: "The ghost people's villages and towns are not allowed to be plundered. Once I find you robbing these places, I will kill them. Therefore, generals, it's best to
Take good control of your men and don't let them become addicted to robbery."
"Yes." The three ghost generals looked solemn and responded in unison.
"Then, can the general and others lure the enemy's navy to the sea to annihilate them?" Li Tianying rolled his eyes and asked again after thinking for a moment.
"Okay." Xiao Shizhu nodded heavily and said categorically: "Xia Gong, Sima and I will not interfere with every attack of yours. You can make your own plans and goals based on the information of the Xuanjiao believers. As long as you control the battle
Just win the fight and take advantage."
"Yes." The three ghost generals answered in unison again...
At dawn, the Ghost Mother stood by the east gate of the Jade Palace. There was already a chariot pulling by the door. The chariot was not driven by horses, but by three strong Qingsi horses standing side by side.
The wheels of the car body are all decorated with painted carvings, which is extraordinary. On the roof of the car with painted patterns, a silver peacock sculpture with wings spread proudly stands, with its head held high and its chest raised, as if it is about to fly.
More than a dozen Imperial Guardsmen and coachmen, lined with soft armor and wearing silk military uniforms, were also waiting beside the car.
Looking at this situation, it seems that the ghost mother is sending someone out of the palace.
Judging from the appearance of the carriage, according to the customization of Jiuyou Kingdom, the rider is a palace lady.
The ghost mother waited for a while by the car, and it was already bright. But this place was in the middle of the palace, and the door was still dark, so it needed to be illuminated by lights.
On the other hand, it was already bright outside the door, with red light all over the ground, and a few wisps of morning glow floating on the horizon.
It seems that soon there will be dark clouds and heavy rain near Yuque City.
"**, here we come." After a long time, Chen Ruo, who was beside the ghost mother, walked in front of the palace.
The ghost mother looked in the direction of her finger and saw Xiao Fuling, who was riding a horse, and was escorting a small sedan towards this side with a dozen of his guards and maids.
"Mother Concubine." Xiao Fuling took the first step and took the lead in riding the beast to the ghost mother. She skillfully turned over and dismounted, stood firmly on the ground, held the reins, apologized, and saluted slightly.
The sedan that followed stopped behind her, the door curtain was slowly raised, and Lai Yueqi, who had been recovering for several days and had recovered, walked out slowly.
"Sister." Lai Yueqi stepped forward with a smile and also bowed to the ghost mother.
"Girl Yue, you are quite lucky. There is a folk ghost doctor in Xiaofeng Plain who accepted the reward list and said he can cure your infertility." The ghost mother smiled softly and said to her: "
It's just that this ghost doctor has a weird personality and doesn't want to enter the palace to treat you, so I have to bother you to go there in person."
A few days ago, the ghost mother learned about this matter. Today, Lai Yueqi was officially sent out of the palace to go to Xiaofeng County for medical treatment.
"Let my sister do the hard work." Lai Yueqi said this softly, and gave the ghost mother a slow blessing. Then she straightened up and raised her eyes, her eyes filled with gratitude.
"It's not a problem; it's just that things in the country are busy, so I can't accompany you. I'll let my daughter accompany you, and she can also be your bodyguard." The ghost mother waved her hand gently and said with a smile: "Che Yu, too.
I have prepared them for you, and I have carefully selected the guards. Huamei, the prefect of Saofeng County, has also said hello."
After saying this, the ghost mother turned to look at her daughter.
Today, Xiao Fuling is wearing a basket shirt and a white skirt, and she looks elegant. Although the five divine swords on her back are sheathed, they add a bit of majesty to her.
"Take good care of your mother, don't let her make any mistakes, and don't let the mother-in-law down." After a pause, the ghost mother solemnly warned: "Be more careful along the way, so don't be impulsive or impatient, and think twice.
Just do it."
The small team that escorted Lai Yueqi to Xiaofeng Plain for medical treatment was not escorted by a large army. Although the security in Jiuyou Kingdom was good, it was only in most areas. There were not evil bandit ghosts who killed people and stole goods, dormant in the deserted mountains and forests.
It's just extremely rare, but not completely absent.
Therefore, the ghost mother does not dare to take it lightly.
Although a large army can be sent to escort Xiao Fuling, this trip is not just for escort. The ghost mother also has a secret mission to entrust her, so it is not appropriate to make a big deal about it.
"Don't worry, concubine." Xiao Fuling nodded and agreed.
She couldn't ask for it more than she could go out of the palace to play. What's more, going out with Lai Yueqi, her closest friend, made Xiao Fuling feel happy. She answered this quickly and urgently, but it seemed a bit perfunctory.
It is said that a good daughter is better than a mother. After all, it is the flesh that fell from the body of the ghost mother. As soon as the ghost mother heard this, she knew how perfunctory Xiao Fuling was, and her heart had already flown outside the palace.
So he sighed and shook his head, looked at Fan Jinhong behind Xiao Fuling, and sternly warned: "Fan Jinhong, keep an eye on the princess along the way, don't let her be impulsive and impatient."
"Yes." Fan Jinhong responded quickly.
However, Xiao Fuling turned around, rolled her eyes at him, and said angrily in a low voice: "You are my mother's concubine's spy."
Xiao Fuling still remembers that Fan Jinhong took the opportunity to sneak away to report to the ghost mother when she stormed into the Chacha Department angrily. Now that more than ten days have passed, Xiao Fuling is still worried about this.
So much so that he didn't talk to Fan Jinhong for a long time. Today, it was the first time he spoke to Fan Jinhong in more than ten days, but he still cursed him.
The scolded Fan Jinhong lowered his head slightly, with a little embarrassment on his face, and remained silent, not daring to reply.
"Don't worry, sister, I will also take good care of Poria." At this moment, Lai Yueqi hurriedly said: "Fu Ling is not a disobedient child. Sister, you can rest assured.".
Hearing what she said, the ghost mother looked at her and felt a little more at ease.
She then waved to Xiao Fuling, then took her aside and whispered to her daughter: "You are traveling with me this time, and you have a secret mission."
Xiao Fuling was stunned when she heard this, and looked at her mother with wide eyes, wondering what secret mission she was being asked to perform?
But after Xiao Fuling was stunned for a moment, she suddenly felt excited. The secret mission was once again something she had only heard about before but had never carried out before. The novelty and excitement surged in her chest.
"You should have learned in the academy that the Saofeng Plain where Sao Feng County is located contains a large amount of rare metals underground, which is the foundation for the development of science and technology in our country." The ghost mother continued to whisper to her daughter.
Said: "There are many mines and forges in that place.".
Xiao Fuling nodded, but there was still a faint confusion between her brows, not knowing what the ghost mother wanted her to do.
"Your mission is to secretly inspect the mines and forges wherever you go to see if there are any hidden dangers. Whether the managers are exploiting local workers, your father and I cannot see this from the memorial." Ghost Mother
Xiao Fuling didn't let Xiao Fuling wait long before he announced the mission: "Let's see if there are any ghosts secretly mining rare minerals on Xiaofeng Plain for personal gain."
"Yes, I've written it down." This time Xiao Fuling didn't deal with the ghost mother anymore. She immediately looked solemn and nodded heavily, keeping it in mind. (To be continued)
