Lanke Chess Edge

The meeting in the imperial study room today was just a brief discussion, but some things that need to be done quickly can already be taken into action today.

The first thing to be determined is to expand the scale of recruitment training, purchase enough food and grass from various states, especially Bingzhou, to ensure logistics, requisition various blacksmith shops and their craftsmen at a reasonable price, and help forge various arrows, weapons, blades and clothes. A, and then some capable people and strangers left in the imperial court, under the leadership of the national teacher Du Changsheng, went to the front line as quickly as possible, planning to catch up with the latest 50,000 troops drawn to the front line so that they could reach Qi Lin Guan. The specific details will be discussed in the Golden Palace in the early morning of the next day, and will be officially announced to the world.

About two hours later, Yan Chang and Du Changsheng came out of the palace and returned to the place where the Sitianjian official office was located. When they came to the huge file room again, Ji Yuan was still sitting there reading a book. Swipe across the text to feel the meaning, as if nothing changed after the two left.

Ji Yuan raised his head when the two of them walked more than ten steps away.

"The two are back?"

Yan Chang and Du Changsheng bowed their hands first, then looked at each other, and it was the former who spoke.

"Mr. Ji, the war in the north is not normal. I heard from the military report that there are many evil and strange people among the thieves of the Zuyue Kingdom. They are all celestial masters and priests conferred by the Zuyue court. And the salary, and the army used evil methods to invade our Dazhen soldiers and the people."

Du Changsheng added after nodding.

"It's not just as simple as what Lord Yan said, those so-called great celestial masters and high priests, although there are some serious casual cultivators or exorcist mages, but more of them should be some evil magicians. It's hard to believe that they would all be willing to obey The imperial court of the Yue Kingdom seems to be the case."

Ji Yuan put the bamboo slips in his hand aside, nodded calmly and replied.

"Although the chaos of demons and evil spirits in the land of Zuyue has eased, it has nothing to do with the aura of the Zuyue country. Now the Zuyue Song family suddenly became strong and confident, and they were able to send troops south to attack Dazhen. There are so many extraordinary things. This matter is also somewhat strange to Ji."

Du Changsheng asked tentatively when he heard the words.

"What do you mean, sir?"

Ji Yuan shook his head.

"Whether it is an evil spirit or a casual cultivator, they are all people who have lived in the land of Zuyue or the surrounding people for a long time. They are also canonized by Zuyue, enjoy the salary of officials and nobles, and then go out with the army. No matter what, they are already tied to Zuyue. The country is humane, and Dazhen is also a humane dispute."

Ji Yuan's expression is calm, but the meaning in his words is very profound. Regardless of the human race, even those evil spirits, most of them have been in the Zuyue Kingdom for a long time, and at this moment they are all joining the Zuyue Kingdom one after another, just like a country's conscription The response of the people is in line with the ethics of a country's vitality, so that Ji Yuan can't pick a thorn.

After thinking for a moment, Ji Yuan looked at Du Changsheng and Yan Chang again.

"Master Du is going to go on an expedition, right? When will we go?"

Although he hadn't said anything about going to war yet, Du Changsheng and Yan Chang didn't find it strange that Mr. Ji knew this. Du Changsheng nodded in reply.

"This matter is urgent. Before coming to see Mr. Du, Du has already asked his disciples to deploy troops and gather people. He will set off before nightfall, and will not wait until tomorrow morning to issue an edict. This time, he is also here to say goodbye to Mr. Ji!"

"It's finally a bit of a national teacher's responsibility."

Ji Yuan said with a smile, stood up from the ground, Du Changsheng was overjoyed, but maintained a serious face, and said in a sincere tone.

"The reward of eating the king, and the matter of being loyal to the king, it is not a responsibility, but you are doing your duty!"

"That's right, Du Tianshi must be careful when he goes. Although there are no big monsters or evils involved, it is now a dispute between Dazhen and Zuyue. Both of them must die, and it is impossible to relax Now, the battle situation will expand.”

"Yes, I must be careful! And I, Dazhen, will definitely have more capable people to help me."

I didn't want to talk too much, and there is no need to discuss the details of the Yushufang with Ji Yuan in detail. Yan Chang and Du Changsheng no longer have the leisure time to accompany Ji Yuan to read books and discuss astrology and other knowledge. They bid farewell to Ji Yuan Then left in a hurry.

Ji Yuan stood alone in the dossier room for a long time, then bent down to pick up a small pile of bamboo slips at his feet, and put them back on the large bookshelf not far away, then hooked his hand, and the ten bookshelves on the other side of the shelf Several rolls of bamboo slips floated down slowly and landed beside Ji Yuan.

This kind of ancient bamboo slips can only record a lot of content in one volume. It takes several volumes or even a dozen volumes to have the content of a book of normal thickness. out of place.

Ji Yuan sat down again, took a roll of bamboo slips beside him, and began to read the content on it, as if he didn't care too much about the changes in the war.

There are variables, and it even makes Ji Yuan taste some unusual conspiracy theories, but Dazhen's move has been arranged for so long, and it has been fruitful for decades, and Ji Yuan is more willing to believe that this move will win.

Even though he knows that there are many counterexamples, Ji Yuan has his own romanticism from the beginning to the end, and he is willing to implement this kind of romance, which is the so-called evil does not suppress the righteous.

...

In the afternoon of the same day, Du Changsheng led a team of more than 50 people to leave the capital directly on horseback, and rushed to the nearest army to help Qizhou.

After the morning court on the second day, at the four gates in the southeast, northwest, and north of Gyeonggi Province, there were still scattered people going to the market and vendors doing business, and there were riders rushing to the four gates in a hurry.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, the tolerance is on the road, get out of the middle of the road, the tolerance is on the road! Drive~drive~~"

"Patta...patta...patta..."

"Drive, dodge ahead, I have a token to lead the way forward, and I leave Beijing by the emperor's order!"

When the leading rider arrived at the city gate, he saw that the guards in front of him seemed to be obstructing him, so he slowed down and took out a gold-plated token, holding it high in his hand on his horseback.

"Let go!"

The gatekeepers had sharp eyes and could see the token from a distance. Coupled with the attire of these riders, they stepped aside one after another without doubting him, and even held spears to signal pedestrians to avoid.

The riders raised their whips and slapped the horses again, and raised their horses to leave the capital at a high speed. The gatekeepers and people on the side watched the riders leave and talked a lot.

"Hey, isn't this another major event?"

"What else can happen, it must be related to the northern war!"

"Oh, that's not necessarily the case. The ancestors and bandits in the north can't be my opponents. It's nothing to worry about."

"It's all gone, don't stay at the gate of the city for too long!"

...

While people were discussing, several groups of riders left one after another. Most of the riders set out in groups of five, starting from the four gates, galloping around, and headed for the city where they needed to communicate.

After that, new notices were posted in the city one after another that day, triggering a new round of discussion among the people on the war in the north.

Tongzhou, in the city of Changle Prefecture next to Dazhen Gyeonggi Prefecture, was at the corner where the old beggars were begging in the street, and another official came here with a list and a bucket of paste.

"Get out of the way, go beg elsewhere!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

A few beggars under the wall hurriedly picked up their broken bowls and moved away. When the official sent over, one of them frowned and looked at the beggar who was nodding and bowing away, shaking his head and said.

"I have hands and feet, and I'm not old. Why don't I find a job to support myself, and kneel and beg here?"

Of course the beggars didn't dare to talk to them, they just ran away.

"Hmph, joining the army is better than wasting time like this. Forget it, let's post a notice!"

Paint the rivers and lakes, and post the silk notice, this time it turned out to be the imperial list, which has not appeared for many years, and it was not posted before the invasion of the Zuyue Kingdom.

"Hey, there is an imperial list posted?" "What?"

"It seems to be true!" "Let's go, go and have a look!"

"Wait for me, I'll go too..."

The official list was posted on the wall, and the surrounding people and even the nearby restaurants and teahouses sent special staff to look at it.

Two handsome girls in white clothes with bamboo baskets on the side of the road also happened to pass by. Seeing this scene, they also passed by together. It happened that a Confucian scholar was reciting the list.

"I would like to tell the able and righteous people in the world that the ancestors and bandits came to invade our territory, and the imperial court launched a conquest. However, there are many evil and evil people in the army, and there are ghosts and ghosts to help them. Wherever they pass, people will suffer..."

After listening to the Confucian scholar's recitation, the two women on the periphery looked at each other, and then quickly retreated.

In Changxiufang in the city, there is a quiet mansion. A beautiful woman with light red makeup is sitting in the courtyard reading a book. On the small table on one side is tea made from melon seeds and flowers. She is covered with a white loose dress. With a figure that amazes both men and women, this is Bai Ruo's leisure time.

It was also at this time that the two twenty-eight-year-old girls hurriedly opened the courtyard door.

"Madam!" "Madam is not good!"

"What's wrong, speak slowly."

The woman in the courtyard didn't look up when she spoke, and the two girls ran closer to describe what they saw.

"Ma'am, there are actually many evil magicians in the Zuyue army, and they are still increasing. It is not as good as many people said before. It will be defeated after a long battle. My Dazhen army is a bit overwhelmed. The emperor's list is posted on the street." , I am recruiting capable people and strangers to help, I heard that the national teacher of this dynasty has rushed to the front line in the starry night."

"Um?"

Bai Ruo frowned, and looked up at the two girls.

"Du Changsheng has gone too?"

"Um!"

Bai Ruo stood up, clutching the book in his left hand and carrying it behind his back, while grabbing a handful of melon seeds in his right hand and throwing them on the ground.

"Patter..."

A field of melon seeds spilled out into a pool of seemingly chaotic shapes, and Bai Ruo continued to calculate according to this, and ordered in his mouth.

"Recite the imperial list."

"yes!"

The two girls had excellent memories, and they just repeated it verbatim after listening to it once. After they finished speaking, Bai Ruo's hands stopped moving, and his eyes became even more unsteady.

"Sir, I don't know where I am now, but Dazhen is in a hurry. If I come back and see Dazhen's territory, the country will be ruined... Although Du Changsheng has a few words of advice from Mr., but his morals are too poor, he can't stand it. Mr. Yin's presence on the front line is nothing but defensive, and he has no power to kill..."

There must be capable people in Dazhen Territory, Bai Ruo is clear about this, but she is not sure how many there are, and how many are useful, and Dazhen's divine way is strong, but the divine way only has its own rules, very few Interfering in the dispute of human nature, even if it has an impact, it only affects the territory under its jurisdiction, and the god of a place is not a big force.

After thinking a lot, Bai Ruo looked up at the two girls.

"We are also considered people who have lived in Dazhen for a long time, let's go, let's go to Qizhou!"

The two girls were ecstatic in their hearts, suppressing the almost uncontrollable excitement on their faces, and nodded in response.

"It's Madam!"
