Chapter 225 Delaying the Battle

In the Liao Kingdom, at the gate of the Funing Palace in the imperial palace, a dozen eunuchs and palace maids stood with their hands bare, concentrating and listening to the beautiful and intoxicating piano music in the room.

The Queen Mother's piano skills are superb, and the piano music is like heavenly music, intoxicating. The melodious and graceful piano music suddenly turned, and the high and dense "clang" sound was like the fierce killing of thousands of troops. The eunuchs and palace maids shuddered, and their intoxicated expressions suddenly turned into solemn and respectful.

After the piano music stopped, it seemed that the murderous atmosphere in the spacious and luxurious palace was still lingering for a long time.

A handsome and elegant man in his thirties put down his teacup and looked at the Empress Dowager sitting in front of the zither with admiration and smiled, "Empress Dowager, have you made up your mind to lead the army in person?" The young Empress Dowager

Xiao was beautiful and charming, with a noble temperament and an unconcealable domineering aura. The corners of her beautiful red phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and her bright eyes were firm and resolute, "Lord Han, I have decided to lead the army in person to support Marshal Yelu Xiu'ge in the East.

Yelu Xiu'ge's East Route Army is weak . , and the battle with Cao Bin has been struggling. If I personally lead the army to reinforce, it can not only boost the morale of the Liao army, but also catch Cao Bin off guard.

As long as the Eastern Route Army of the Song Army is defeated, the seemingly unstoppable and invincible Western Route Army will become an isolated army. The isolated army goes deep into the country, the military force is weak, and the logistics supply line is stretched. I and Marshal Yelu Xiu Ge will lead the army to attack Daizhou in the territory of Song State, cut off their retreat, and seize several states of Liao State. The Western Route Song Army will become a lamb to be slaughtered. "

: "The Queen Mother is wise and powerful!" Han Deran praised sincerely. Empress

Dowager Xiao was praised by her lover, her eyes were full of spring, she smiled charmingly, and she was full of charm. "Derang, stay tonight and sleep with me?"

Han Derang's heart was moved! His eyes were fiery: "I wish so."

The relationship between the Empress Dowager and Lord Han was already an open secret. Since the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager took the young master to the throne, and Lord Han made a lot of efforts.

Of course, Lord Han became more and more powerful, and he stayed in the palace more and more. The eunuchs and palace maids were used to it, and they were busy serving the Empress Dowager and Lord Han to bathe and go to bed in an orderly manner.

After a passionate lovemaking, Empress Dowager Xiao's pretty face was still full of spring tides, charming everyone and enchanting the soul. Her lazy and charming voice was slightly panting, "Derang, your cousin Han Bei, who has extraordinary skills, still refuses to come out of the mountains to serve my Great Liao Kingdom?"

Han Derang, who was looking at the beauty with a satisfied face, straightened his face and said helplessly, "Empress Dowager, I have urged him many times, but my cousin, who is aloof and arrogant, has always refused to agree. Now, I am going to visit the Altai Mountains. When the time came, she refused to even see him. "

Empress Dowager Xiao raised her smooth jade arm, and her green jade fingers stroked Han Derang's handsome cheeks. Her charming eyes were full of amorous feelings. "Okay, let's not talk about him. It's too depressing. Spring nights are short, so let's enjoy them while we can!" Han

Derang was so excited that he lowered his head and kissed her red lips...

The news of victory from the front line came, and Yingzhou was captured at night. The people in Bianjing City cheered and cheered, and the officials in the court also had more confidence. They were happy and discussed happily.

The emperor looked at the ministers with a smug look on their faces, and immediately ordered the eunuch to draft an imperial decree to reward the three armies, ordering the Western Army to take advantage of the victory to directly capture Yunzhou, and cooperate with the Eastern Army that was blocked to seize all the cities in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

The secret envoy Chu Zhaofu frowned. The Eastern Army was blocked by Yelu Xiu'ge's stubborn resistance, and the Western Army was too risky to advance so recklessly!

Looking at the excited and happy ministers shouting long live the wise, and looking at the emperor who was full of confidence, Chu Zhaofu swallowed his words of persuasion.

After the emperor's imperial edict to urge war arrived in Yingzhou, Qin Wang Zhao Defang and Yang Ye discussed the military situation with Yang Yanzhao, who was seriously injured and not yet recovered.

Luo Li was still the observer of the military conference, but she changed from being unwelcome to being respected.

Luo Li held a cup of fragrant tea in her left hand and a spicy bar in her right hand, eating slowly. Yang Ye's behavior of eating and drinking without regard for etiquette and without regard for the image of the Princess Qin was changed from being rude and silly to being unrestrained and wanton.

The rich aroma of the spicy bar made the King of Qin drool and his mouth was full of saliva. With a gentle smile, he suggested, "Princess, could you give me a few more of the spicy strips you hid?"

Luo Li glanced at him and refused bluntly, "No! The two buckets of spicy strips I brought were stolen by the greedy Ghost Hand, and I gave you thirty to satisfy your craving. No matter how greedy you are, you won't have any left."

Qin Wang Zhao Defang swallowed awkwardly, "Then don't eat in front of me. The fragrance fills the room, and the gluttonous bugs in my stomach are protesting."

"Protest is useless! Ask Ghost Hand to get some poison to kill the bugs for you." Luo Li teased smugly.

Qin Wang Zhao Defang smiled helplessly, and suddenly reached out to grab the half spicy strip that the princess was eating, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed and laughed with a smirk: "Princess, just give me this half to satisfy your craving!"

Yang Ye and Yang Yanzhao silently complained in their hearts, is this still the noble, reserved, gentle and noble Prince Qin? Marrying a silly princess who loves food like life, has he become a shameless foodie?

Yang Yanzhao sighed secretly, alas! It's all because the fragrance of this spicy strip is too tempting. After Yan Qi gave him a few strips to taste, his self-control was a little worse when he smelled its fragrance as a child.

Luo Li felt amused, and picked up another spicy noodle and urged: "Why are you all standing there? The emperor's imperial edict for war has come, so you should continue to discuss the military plan! I am sitting there and not saying anything, but it won't hinder your thinking, right? Who has any conspiracy, hurry up and get it out."

Yang Ye coughed lightly and looked up at the unserious Princess Qin. There was no contempt in his eyes, only sincere respect, "Princess Qin, please analyze how the next military action plan should be carried out?"

Yang Yanzhao looked at his father who was asking for advice humbly in surprise, and also raised his ears to listen.

Luo Li put down the spicy noodle in his hand and wiped the red oil on his fingers with a handkerchief.

After sitting up straight, he spoke: "I don't understand military affairs and I don't know how to deploy troops. But there is one thing that even a fool like me knows. When a lone army goes deep into the enemy's territory and fights, the front line is stretched and the troops are weak. If the Eastern Army is defeated, you will be cut off from the rear by the enemy and you will be dead.

The three of you are famous generals and military geniuses. You all know very well whether this hastily launched Northern Expedition can achieve the emperor's goal of recovering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. You three military geniuses, use your brains and think about how to save your own lives and the lives of more soldiers of the Song Dynasty, right?"

Yang Ye's heart trembled in shock! He looked at the Princess of Qin with more respect.

The words of Princess Qin hit the nail on the head. This was also what he and his son Yang Yanzhao had been concerned about in recent days.

Qin Wang Zhao Defang smiled faintly, "Try to delay the time of sending troops. After taking Yunzhou City, even if the emperor issues orders every day to urge the war, we have to rest until after the New Year and observe the situation before taking action."

Yang Ye said solemnly: "Your Majesty is right. Even if the emperor blames us, we can't let these tens of thousands of good sons of the Song Dynasty bleed and sacrifice in vain."

Luo Li, who already knew the outcome of the war, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the upright old general Yang was not blindly loyal and obedient.

If I can save the life of the Golden Sword Lord, this trip to the north, which has been bumpy and cold, will be worth it.
