The day after General Liu took away Yelu Aqi, 300,000 grassland soldiers and horses quickly gathered outside the Sichuan border. Outside the border between Ningzhou and Yuezhou, there were also many grassland tribe soldiers gathering under the city, and several joint armies of the grassland tribes.

General Li personally climbed up the wall of the garrison camp and observed the Yelu tribe's tent and the military camp where they were encamped for a long time. Previously, the pioneer officer's investigation report said that there were 200,000 troops, but now it seems that half of the troops were hidden at that time!

General Li was very frightened and ordered the entire army to be under martial law and ready to fight. At the same time, several teams of scouts were also sent to explore the Yelu tribe's tent. After all, it was a silver wolf flag with a black background. This was the intention of the king of the Yelu tribe to personally conquer.

The three border states in the northwest are already in turmoil, and war is about to break out. The capital has just received the first letter from Chuanzhou. Xie Boyuan's letter came to the capital together with the secret report from the royal spy.

As soon as Eunuch Gao, who was beside Emperor Liang, received the secret report and took a look at the color of the wax seal, his heart began to beat rapidly. Emperor Liang Shengrui received the secret report from Eunuch Gao, opened it and saw that there was a letter from Xie Boyuan.

Liang Shengrui's eyebrows immediately stood up. He had just read Xie Boyuan's letter a few days ago and planned to write a secret edict to the magistrates and edicts of several northwest states.

Liang Shengrui first read the secret letter from the spy. There was something strange happening in the Yelu tribe! After opening Xie Boyuan's letter, Xie Boyuan directly stated his guess.

The grassland tribes assassinated grassroots border officials and used the drought to cause riots among the border people, thus containing the border garrison and taking the opportunity to invade Daliang.

When the first letter was sent, a lot of information had not yet been fed back to the Quxian County Government. However, Xie Boyuan relied on his years of experience as a military advisor to make guesses about these superiors.

I wrote this letter firmly, but Xie Boyuan guessed it correctly. Of course, what's more, Xie Boyuan knows very well that the grassland tribe has always been ambitious.

Emperor Liang quickly read the secret letter and immediately ordered Eunuch Gao to announce that Duke Li Guogong, Ning Guogong and several generals had entered the palace. Eunuch Gao had just ordered his young father-in-law to deliver the order and turned around to go back to Qinzheng Hall when he saw his young father-in-law running towards him.

Eunuch Gao only looked at the box in his little father-in-law's hand, took the box and walked quickly into the palace. The second letter was sent at noon the next day, but it was of a higher level than the first secret letter, so it arrived in the capital almost at the same time.

Liang Shengrui was looking at the map and thinking about the Yelu tribe's invasion of Chuanzhou. Suddenly, I heard Eunuch Gao's sharp voice reporting: "Your Majesty, the secret message has arrived!"

Emperor Liang felt that Eunuch Gao's voice was trembling, as he had expected that the secret letter was of a higher level. Emperor Liang raised his head from the map: "Send it up!"

The second secret letter was sent from Qu County. Not only the county officials in Chuanzhou were attacked. The county magistrate of Yuezhou was also attacked, and based on time calculation, officials of Yuezhou and Chuanzhou were targeted almost at the same time.

One sentence explanation is: "This time it is likely that multiple grassland tribes have united to attack the northwest border of Daliang!"

Emperor Liang snorted coldly and threw the secret letter on the table. Liang's army had been resting for ten years and it was time to train.

There were ten years of war, and it was also ten years since the founding of the Liang Dynasty. Originally, ten years were not enough time for the people of Liang to recuperate and resume full production. However, Emperor Liang was the emperor to whom destiny was destined, and he was favored by heaven.

In the ten years since the founding of the Liang Dynasty, everything has been going smoothly, especially in some major grain-producing states in the south. Although there is some drought in several northwest states this year, the drought is still under control.

Although Daliang dare not say that his troops are strong now, he is definitely not afraid of the invasion of the grassland tribes.

Li Hansheng and Ning Guogong met at the gate of the palace, and they just wanted to exchange a few words and find out information about each other. I saw several generals who had stayed in the capital coming on horseback, and they looked at each other.

Come on! No need to pry now! They came all together. The last time the emperor summoned this group of people alone was the night before they invaded the capital. Several generals followed Li Guogong and Ning Guogong and quickly entered the palace together.

Emperor Liang also announced that the Ministers of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Hubu would enter the palace. The mobilization of troops and horses and the mobilization of grain and grass required two ministers to execute it. When everyone arrived, Emperor Liang directly told everyone present the news.

They are all veterans who followed Emperor Liang to conquer the world. They are all very angry at this moment. In previous years, small groups of tribesmen from the barbaric land of the northwest came to rob my Daliang of grain and grass, but the court has not yet investigated them.

Now that he dared to invade in a large scale, several generals came out to request orders to go to war. Li Hansheng and Ning Guogong looked at each other, neither of them actively asked to lead troops into battle.

Both of them knew very well that now that they were the Dukes of the country, they would not easily lead troops to fight again. However, they are all worried about Military Advisor Xie's safety. They both know that Xie Boyuan is in Chuanzhou now!

Li Hansheng and Ning Guogong looked at each other, and then they both shook their heads slightly. I don't know if he is saying that he is not aware of Xie Boyuan's current situation, or if he is trying to persuade the other party not to ask here.

Finally, Emperor Liang appointed General Xu Shengyuan as the general of the Western Expedition. Led 500,000 troops to support the Northwest Army and jointly defend against the enemy. The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs cooperated with the mobilization of personnel and logistics and food and grass.

Time is of the essence, so the ceremony will be simplified at all points. General Xu will go back to prepare. Tomorrow he will go directly to the military camp to order generals and set off to the northwest.

Xie Boyuan and Zhou Tongpan, who were stationed in the Northwest Army, met outside the city, and General Li's messenger was still on the way. However, Xie Boyuan knew that the presence of the two of them was enough.

After Zhou Tongjian revealed his identity, the soldiers on duty ran in to inform them, and soon someone led them into the military camp. Xie Boyuan followed Zhou Tongpan without looking sideways. General Dou had his own customary way of arranging the military camp.

Many people are confused and curious about the layout of the Northwest Army's barracks. But Xie Boyuan knew General Dou's habits very well, and now he just wanted to see General Dou as soon as possible.

General Dou met them in the main tent. After Zhou Tongpan introduced himself, Xie Boyuan also introduced his identity as the master of Quxian County Yamen. General Dou's attention was originally focused on Zhou Tongpan, and he did not even glance at Xie Boyuan, who was half a body behind.

At this moment, this person's voice suddenly sounded very familiar. After listening to the news, General Dou had only one question in his mind: "What is his name now that he introduced himself just now?"

Xie Boyuan frowned and looked at General Dou who was also frowning at him. Then Zhou Tongpan also noticed something was wrong and turned to look at the two people who were looking at each other.

In the end, Xie Boyuan was defeated: "Yuan Bo, the master of Qu County in Chuan Prefecture, has met General Dou! This time he came to the Northwest Army station to deliver a message on the order of the county magistrate Xiao Qingshan."
