Chapter 564 Weakness
Tang Jingshan heard it, and the emperor naturally understood what he meant.
Originally, he thought that this man would come to him to plead for the matter of Princess Le'an, but he didn't expect that he just used a trick to force him to send Princess Le'an out of the palace.
Although this strategy also took him into account.
But if the hidden dangers in the northern border can be resolved as soon as possible, he will not blame him.
"According to Xu Qing, how long will it take for the Western Regions army to reach Tongren Pass and make arrangements there?"
The man pondered for a moment before coming to the map of Daxia on the side of the imperial study.
"To avoid being noticed by the North, the number of people in the ambush cannot be too large. Two or three thousand soldiers will travel light in plain clothes along the mountain road to the North. Excluding the time spent on the road, it will take at least twenty days to set up the layout."
"Half a month later, we will mobilize 100,000 soldiers to go to the capital in a high-profile manner to attract the attention of the King of Zhenbei. We will also mobilize another 100,000 soldiers to arrive at Langzi Pass in a low-profile manner along the waterway, waiting for the King of Zhenbei to lead his troops to come, and then join forces with the original 80,000 soldiers at Langzi Pass to encircle them from the outside."
The emperor looked at the map and thought for a moment.
"What if the King of Zhenbei didn't go through Tongren Pass?"
Xu Qingye seemed to know that he would ask this question and had already thought of a solution in his mind.
"The King of Zhenbei is cautious. Tongren Pass is in a steep terrain and is prone to ambushes. However, this is also the only way to the capital in previous years. It is the fastest and most convenient."
"When he learns the news from the capital, he may lead some people to bypass Tongren Pass and head to the capital. However, it is obviously unrealistic for the entire northern army to bypass Tongren Pass. The mountains are high and the waters are long. It will take them a month and a half to reach the capital."
"But I expect that the King of Zhenbei will make some more noise after bypassing Tongren Pass. On the one hand, he wants to relax the vigilance of the people in the capital, and on the other hand, he wants to let the reinforcements from the northern border know the news and sneak through Tongren Pass to meet them outside the city."
"As long as we cut off his reinforcements and use this time difference to control the Zhenbei King who has already entered the capital, he won't be able to cause any trouble."
The emperor put his hands behind his back and concentrated on thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
Then he looked towards Tang Jingshan not far away.
"What do you think of this plan, Lord Tang?"
Tang Jingshan bowed to the emperor and said, "Although I am not a military commander, based on Lord Xu's analysis, he has thought of all possible situations that may arise between the enemy and us. Your Majesty may want to give it a try, but this matter must be carried out in secret to prevent the King of Zhenbei from spying in the court."
Li Junyao nodded.
After a long time, he looked at Fan Chihai.
"Go and call the Princess of Le'an."
…
In the end, after meeting the emperor, Song Yuntang left the palace with Xu Qingye.
The emperor stood in front of the window of the imperial study, looking at the two figures walking away hand in hand, and it was unknown what he was thinking in his eyes.
"Fan Chihai, how is the emperor doing today?"
Fan Chihai bowed.
"After taking the medicine prescribed by Princess Le'an, he has gotten better." He looked in the direction of the emperor and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, are you not going to obey the wishes of the Princess of the Western Regions?"
The emperor shook his head.
"Xu Qingye is a man of extraordinary courage and strategy. If he is used by the Western Regions in the future, the consequences will be disastrous." After a pause, he continued, "Lou Yishang can choose anyone, but not Xu Qingye."
The reason why Song Yuntang was released from the palace.
Because he wanted Xu Qingye to always have a weak spot.
Once a person has a soft spot, he will be cautious when doing things.
For the sake of the country and the people, he could not keep the Princess of Le'an.
Fan Chihai followed the emperor's gaze.
"Speaking of which, Lord Xu dotes on his wife, and this is also a good story in the capital. I just wonder how Your Majesty is going to deal with Princess Lou Yishang?"
Li Junyao turned and walked towards the desk.
"Let's leave it alone for now. Once we've resolved the issue in the northern border, we can consider her again."
Since ancient times, victors are kings and losers are bandits.
As a little girl, there is really no need to care too much.
Song Yuntang followed Xu Qingye out of the palace, and the moment he sat in the carriage, he felt something was not real.
"How did you do it? Your Majesty let me go home with you so quickly."
Looking at her sparkling eyes, the man smiled gently.
"secret."
Song Yuntang looked him up and down.
"You have nothing to lose, right?"
Xu Qingye shook his head.
"It's just a little money, not as important as you."
Song Yuntang breathed a sigh of relief.
"These are all my possessions, so losing some of them is not a big deal." Then he asked, "How much silver do you need? I'll get it together for you when I get back."
"No need." Xu Qingye saw that the carriage had already set off. Worried that the shaking of the carriage would hurt her, he reached out and held her in his arms. "The merchant ship has made a good profit this year, and it can temporarily cover the next expenses."
Song Yuntang nodded.
"Speaking of merchant ships, I sent a merchant ship to take a lot of things overseas a few days ago. I wonder how much profit it made?"
She was very excited at the thought of seeing her son soon, and for the first time she experienced what it felt like to be eager to go home.
It seemed as if he saw what she was thinking.
"Hao Ting will be very happy to see you come home."
Song Yuntang smiled and leaned on his shoulder, "I'm very happy to see you today."
The man smiled.
"Me too."
Song Yuntang raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't expect this taciturn guy to respond, and raised his hand to touch his forehead.
"No nonsense."
Xu Qingye looked at her actions and laughed out loud, which was rare.
…
Hao Ting was really happy to see Song Yuntang come back.
"Mother!"
Song Yuntang was pregnant now, so she didn't dare to hug the child casually. She squatted down and gave him a hug, then held his little hand.
Jiang looked at her.
"Tang'er didn't suffer any injustice in the palace, did he?"
Song Yuntang smiled and shook his head.
"Don't worry, mom. I'm fine."
Jiang finally put down the worry in her heart.
"That's good."
Xu Wencheng came to her.
"Sister-in-law, you were suddenly left in the palace this time, which scared us to death. My eldest brother was so worried that he didn't sleep all night."
Song Yuntang glanced at Xu Qingye behind him, then turned to look at him, "I heard from your brother that you plan to seduce the princess of the Western Regions and sacrifice yourself to help us out?"
Xu Yongwang raised his eyebrows.
"Is there anything else?"
Xu Wencheng scratched his head embarrassedly.
"No, isn't it Big Brother who objects to this?"
Jiang also looked at him seriously.
"You must not have any thoughts about it. If the Princess of the Western Regions is any good, she wouldn't be so entangled with your elder brother even though she knows he has a family."
Xu Wencheng quickly responded, "I know everything, mother."
Xu Qingye, who had been silent all this time, looked at Jiang and Song Yuntang.
"Now Wencheng has reached the age of marriage. If there is a suitable girl in the capital, Tang'er and mother can keep an eye out for her. She doesn't need to have a prominent family background, but her good character is important."
Song Yuntang nodded.
"Okay, Mom and I will keep an eye on it."
Xu Qingye looked at Xu Wencheng again.
"Wencheng, come with me. I have an important task for you to do."
"Hey, here I come."
Xu Wencheng responded and followed Xu Qingye.
…
Only after the two brothers finished chatting did Xu Qingye return to the room.
The room was warm. After dinner, Song Yuntang asked someone to heat the kang. After warming up the room, he changed into loose bell-bottom pants and a comfortable top, and was practicing some "weird" movements in the room, which seemed to Xu Qingye strange.
Although he was curious, he did not bother her.
He asked after she finished her action.
"What was Tang'er doing just now?"
