I am the empress, you still tell me to run away?

"Sir, thank you Queen Mother for your kindness!"

Qin Shao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, held the wat board and bowed ninety degrees to thank the Queen Mother for her gift.

It was just that several palace guards appeared on the left and right, took off his wat board, and took off his official robe.

From then on, he, Qin Shao, was no longer a minister of rites, but a small town magistrate on the border of Yanzhou.

Who would have imagined that the strategy of these aristocratic families trying to kill Lin Xuan would one day be used by the Queen Mother Li Ningyan on him.

"Congratulations to the Queen Mother!"

The officials bowed to the departing queen mother.

Afterwards, almost no one went to see the distraught former Minister of Rites Qin Shao, and strode away.

Especially a few of them, a few days ago, they were shouting "Qin Gong" happily, who would have thought that they would openly fart in front of him now, and then walk away!

Qin Shao's face was flushed suddenly because of holding his breath, and when he looked at the back of the person who left, he was so angry that he almost fainted.

"Not a human being!"

……

The debate in the court has come to an end.

Several ministers in the Pojun Mansion began to calculate the military exploits for the Xiangzhou Army.

You know, the last time Lin Xuan's Xiangzhou Army burned Heixiong Ridge and killed King Hunyu's 4 elite cavalry, the military exploits were calculated. Who would have thought of another good news of annihilating Chengjiang's 15 troops.

The work pressure has suddenly increased.

However, the officials in the entire Pojun Mansion were very excited.

For them, the more this kind of work pressure, the better, and they don't care.

"According to Lin Xuan's combat achievements this time, according to Dagan's law, he can be named a loyal and brave marquis..."

A minister of the Pojun Mansion said.

Zhongyonghou?

Several people looked at each other, still thinking about it.

Although there is the fate of Qin Shao, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, but Qin Shao is right. No matter whether he is pardoned by His Majesty the Empress or not, Lin Xuan cannot escape his status as a remnant of the nobles of the previous dynasty.

Therefore, Lin Xuan would initially receive the title of "Le Xianhou", with a title but no real power.

However, if you want to change it to Zhongyonghou, you have a title and real power.

Another minister of the Pojun Mansion said: "It's not appropriate, the word brave is used on Lin Xuan, it will inevitably make many generals dissatisfied."

"Actually, if Lin Xuan fights such big victories a few more times, it is not impossible to directly seal Wuhou."

"Marquis Wu?"

"This is the highest title among generals and marquises!"

Several ministers of the Pojun Mansion discussed for a long time, but did not get a result.

They thought about whether they should ask General Li Lin, the Minister of the Pojun Mansion, but when they turned around, the General Li Lin who was still there just now didn't know where to go.

After thinking about it for a while, the ministers of the Pojun Mansion could only turn to another one, Huang Cisong who had just resigned from his position as a cabinet assistant and became the Minister of the Pojun Mansion.

Huang Cisong thought for a while, and said: "At present, the battle in Yanzhou is more intense, I think this matter can be put on hold temporarily, and we can discuss it after the war with the Yu people is over."

"The plight of the Xiangzhou Army right now lies in food, grass and supplies, and we can arrange it first. The second is their official positions. We can give them promotions based on their military merits."

"As for Le Xianhou, I took a look. He used to be the fourth rank, General Mingwei. According to his current military achievements, he can be promoted to the third rank, General Zhenyuan!"

Several ministers of the Pojun Mansion summed up their left and right sides and thought it was feasible.

"Thank you, Master Huang!"

Therefore, several ministers of the Pojun Mansion immediately drafted the document, and later sent it to the Taining Palace for the Empress Dowager to review. After using the seal, it will become effective and then sent to Yanzhou.

……

In the dark, the envoy of the Huan tribe, Tiara, limped out from a bush.

He didn't know how long he had been walking. He was lucky enough to be attacked by a lone wolf on the road just now. After fighting hard, he was hungry and finally drank a mouthful of warm wolf blood, ate some wolf meat raw, and recovered a little. physical strength.

Although I suffered some leg injuries during the scuffle, overall it was worth it.

Tiara found a sharp stone, cut off the wolf skin, and put it on her body, feeling much warmer in this cold night.

To be honest, if there were no supplies and no place to hide from the cold, he felt that he might not be able to go back to the grassland and see the Great Chanyu.

After eating and drinking enough, Tiara didn't stop, just picked up some pieces of wolf meat and continued on the road.

I don't know how long it has passed, but he seems to have heard the sound of horseshoes or human footsteps.

Tiara immediately hid in the darkness and threw away the wolf meat on her body.

Because the smell of bloody meat can easily attract the attention of wild beasts or experienced hunters, and it will be dangerous at that time.

If there is no food, you can look for it next time, but if you lose your life, you will lose everything.

"It smells like blood (Huan language)."

"Be careful! (Huan language)"

Hearing the familiar voice of the same race, Tiara's eyes lit up, and tears flowed down.

God knows what sufferings and disasters he has suffered these days, and he almost lost his life.

He even once thought that he was lost and might die on the road.

Fortunately, the road was not wrong, and I met the same family!

"I'm Tiara, the military advisor under Da Shanyu's account!"

……

When the sun was about to set, Tiara was sent to the army camp of Yu Kaer Zhixie, the leader of the Huan tribe.

The huge army camp is located opposite Mi Xuelin. If Mi Xuelin can pass through easily, Lin Xuan's Xiangzhou Army and Kaer Zhixie's army will meet soon.

However, nearly 20 troops of the Huan people gathered here, logging in the Misnow Forest.

Although the road to Yanzhou they found exists, it is difficult for the army to pass through some places.

So they are logging, cutting a passage out of Michelin Forest.

In the huge forest, they have paved a wide avenue, built several bridges, and several camps for the rest of the army.

Although restricted by the terrain, the progress was a little slow, but the effect was surprisingly good.

Follow the original plan.

They will give a surprise to those stationed in Yanzhou.

If they are discovered, the people of Gan country will think that they are going to clear the forest and kill them. If they are here to prevent it, they don't know that they will launch a surprise attack from the trail.

In addition, many people probably think that there are 20 troops here?

Only in the eyes of outsiders, there are 20 troops.

In fact, during this period of time, Kaer Zhixie was quietly dividing his troops.

It is a great shame that the battle of Heixiongling caused the warriors of the Huan tribe to lose 4 horses.

If King Hunyu wasn't his father-in-law, and there was some value in not being King Hunyu, he would probably have killed King Hunyu a long time ago.

No matter what, these 4 warriors must not be allowed to die in vain. They must die worthwhile, and the large-scale Yanbei Army and Xiangzhou Army must pay a painful price for this!

There is also a very important point, whether it is the Yanbei Army of the Qian Kingdom or the Xiangzhou Army, it seems that they have ignored how King Hunyu arranged for cavalry with thousands of people to cut food into Yanzhou.

The great Shan Yu Kaer Zhixie sat in his seat, hugging a beautiful woman on the left and right, looked at Tiara who stumbled in, and smiled: "My military advisor, why are you injured so badly, what happened to you? "

Tiara almost cried and said: "Tiara has the trust of the Chanyu, and the mission of the Chanyu!"

Kaer Zhixie let go of the beauties in his arms, let them leave here, left the seat after leaving, and walked down: "My military adviser, it is the luck of our Yi people that you can come back alive."

"Lin Xuan set fire to the company camp in Chengjiang, annihilating the 15 troops of Chengjiang Kingdom, and forced Jin Wuji to commit suicide in Jizi Valley."

"Jin Wuji is arrogant, self-willed, he didn't listen to the military advisor, he deserves to die."

"I know all these things."

Kaer Zhixie helped Jin Wuji up: "During this period of time, I have been sending warriors to search for your whereabouts. The god of the grassland protects you, and you came back alive."

Even though the task failed, but was still valued so much by Da Shanyu, Tiara broke down in tears for a while.

The Great Wizard Zero glanced at Tiara, but did not speak.

Outside, winter is coming.

Poor Tiara, not far from death.

After a while, Tiara calmed down, knelt down at a table, drank goat's milk wine, ate meat, told all the experiences during this period, and again apologized for the failure of her mission.

Kaer Zhixie held Tiara's hand, and persuaded him to eat well, take a good rest, recover from his injuries, and then take revenge.

The accounts with the Xiangzhou Army and the Yanbei Army will be settled.

Because, regardless of whether Jin Wuji of Chengjiang Kingdom participated in the battle or not, the warriors of the Huan tribe in the grassland were almost ready.

"Feng Wuzhi, Lin Xuan, I will take your heads as a memorial to the sacrificed warriors of our clan!"

……

"hurry up!"

On the defense line of the Yanbei Army, the Weak Xie King, Wild Jun King, and Xueyang King of the Huan tribe on the opposite side finally couldn't bear the loss under the continuous and rapid offensive, and began to grind foreign labor.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Feng Wuzhi ordered to strengthen the defense line, preparing for the next wave of offensive from the Huan clan.

On the road from Haizhou to Yanzhou.

Qin Shao, the magistrate of an unknown town in Yanzhou, was riding on a horse with a forlorn look on his face.

Behind him are 500 family private soldiers and 1500 prisoner soldiers.

The Empress Dowager Renyi said that there were 1000 prisoner soldiers, and 500 more prisoner soldiers were added later.

However, Qin Shao felt extremely uncertain about the future, and the queen mother would actually kill him with the method they discussed.

Right now, 2000 people are here to defend a small city in Yanzhou. It seems that there are a lot of defenders.

But what about the real situation?

There is an army of 40 Huan people in the north!

No matter what Yu Kaer Zhixie, the leader of the Huan tribe, thought, these small border towns would be the inevitable targets for the Huan army to attack and plunder.

"Lin Xuan, you and I are at odds with each other!"

Qin Shao really wanted to shout out, but after thinking about it, he held back.

"Master, we have entered the boundary of Yanzhou."

The housekeeper who was following Qin Shao said on horseback.

Qin Shao nodded and continued on his way.

……

On the Xiangzhou Army's side, in Black Marsh, Mixuelin, Black Bear Ridge and other places, the soldiers of Xiangzhou who ate meat for three days in a row had great morale, and they were very energetic no matter what they did.

Some former hunters in Xiangzhou came up with all kinds of traps and submitted them to the generals above for reference.

If it is feasible, they will arrange it on their respective defense lines to strengthen the defense line.

After all, after the war in the future, as long as one more prairie barbarian is killed, the Xiangzhou Army can save one brother from dying.

In addition, with the large amount of labor supported by Chengjiang Kingdom, Lin Xuan's progress in digging holes in Mi Xuelin has been accelerated. Half of the outer wall of Yaocheng has been built, and it can barely be used in the future.

Coal mines, iron ores, etc. officially entered the state of mining.

Lin Xuan was in a happy mood listening to the reports one by one.

Rao Shaoyuan and Lu Xueyi, two high-achieving Guozijian students, followed behind Lin Xuan, infected by the atmosphere of the entire army, and their hearts were surging.

The only one who felt the pain was Yang Xiu, the master secretary. Coordinating the distribution of the seized Jiang Guo was already a very heavy task, and he had to arrange the distribution of food and grass for the entire army.

However, when it comes to food and grass, if only 15 Xiangzhou troops are supplied, there will be no problem supporting the harvest until next year's summer.

However, General Lin Xuan still has to feed more than [-] prisoners of war...
