My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 978
Liu Mingzhi didn't have much time to think about that look that lifted his heart.

Throwing out the doubts in his heart, Liu Mingzhi rushed straight to the door.

"Liu Song quickly lead the horse, this young master is going to enter the palace."

"Master, come right away!"

Liu Mingzhi got on his horse and galloped towards the palace at full speed.

Eunuch Fu repeatedly told him that he must not be neglected, so Liu Mingzhi naturally did not dare to hesitate in the slightest!

On the main road, Liu Mingzhi saw many familiar officials also riding fast towards the palace.

This scene made Liu Mingzhi even more nervous. It seemed that there was a big problem with the recovery of Heshuo, otherwise the emperor would not have made such a big move.

"Grandpa, Your Majesty is waiting in the imperial study, and you can go by yourself!"

"Thank you!"

"Song Shangshu, please move to the Imperial Study Room, Your Majesty is waiting in the Imperial Study Room!"

"Thank you, I will go right away!"

Officials in twos and threes handed over their mounts to the eunuchs who were waiting at the palace gate, and hurriedly trotted towards the imperial study.

When Liu Mingzhi arrived at the Imperial Study Room, Li Zheng was frowning and staring at an exquisite sand table with a gloomy face. On the sand table, the positions of the Great Dragon Northern Border and the various ministries of the Turkic Grassland were clearly and accurately recorded.

"My son, Liu Mingzhi, sees my father!"

"Free gift!"

Li Zheng waved his hands casually at Liu Mingzhi, his eyes did not intend to leave the sand table in the slightest.

Several surrounding officials who had arrived earlier handed a stack of documents to Liu Mingzhi: "Grandpa, you can see for yourself!"

Without hesitation, Liu Mingzhi opened the document in his hand and looked at it carefully.

After a while, Liu Mingzhi suddenly closed the document in his hand, strode up to the sand table and began to observe solemnly, especially in Heshuo and the surrounding tribes in Hetao.

The army marching north to Heshuo encountered a surprise attack by an army of unknown origin in the northwest of the Bortie tribe in the Heshuo grassland area. The 200 forward army under the command of Rongweihou Cai Jun killed more than 3000 people. The land southeast of Shuo changed hands again, and more than [-] soldiers lost their young lives.

After the remaining 1000 soldiers joined the brigade, they could not tell the identity of the enemy who attacked them. The cavalry who came out of the sudden attack did not have any flag number to represent their identity. Good countermeasures.

During the cup of tea, more than a dozen important officials of the court gathered in the imperial study room, and they also looked at the documents that Young Master Liu had read.

The civil and military officials who had read the documents all stood quietly in front of the sand table, frowning and thinking.

After pondering for an unknown amount of time, Li Zheng suddenly asked Young Master Liu, "Can you guess which department's enemy it is?"

Liu Mingzhi sighed and shook his head: "It's hard to say, the Tatar Department, the Hualimu Department, the Tukeli Department, and the Zaton Department. All eleven departments may attack Rongweihou's vanguard battalion. Among them, the Zaton Department, the Hualimu Department The fourth part is the most suspected, but I can't figure it out!"

"Can't figure out what?"

Li Zheng stared at Liu Mingzhi closely, and the other dozen or so important court officials also stared at Liu Mingzhi intently, hoping to see what he had to say.

Liu Mingzhi put his fingers on the sand table and thought for a moment.

"Father, colleagues, please read, the battle report said that the vanguard battalion of Marquis Rongwei was attacked on the northwest side of the Borte Department!"

"However, according to our scout reports, the Bortie Department is advancing eastward to start a protracted war with the Kruha Department of Huyan Royal Court!"

"The old Duke led an army to the border of Heshuo on May [-]th and launched a surprise attack. In the southeast and southwest of Heshuo, the Kerry soil tribe under the tent of King Shibisi in the southeast and southwest of Heshuo had already been beaten by the old Duke. Join forces with the Muhuali tribe to gain both sides!"

"Since the old man dared to divide his troops into two places, he must be [-]% sure to win the eleventh part, and the battle report just proved this point. The eleventh part is being beaten by the old man's northern expedition army, and so Since then, I can't figure out which of these eleven tribes would dare to take the initiative to stroke the tiger's beard!"

"Perhaps this army of unknown origin is not the people under the command of Shibis Royal Court guarding the Heshuo two places, but came from Huyan Royal Court in a detour, but this makes it even more unreasonable! Huyan Royal Court is not a fool Once they launch an attack on Rongwei Hou's vanguard camp, it means declaring war, and what they will face will be the back and forth attacks of Dalong and Shibis Royal Court!"

"The purpose of this army of unknown origin to attack the Qianfeng Battalion is very clear! To cut off the connection between the Northern Expeditionary Army and Ganzhou, and cut off the food and grass of the Northern Expeditionary Army. However, there will be a big problem with the supply of grain and grass for the Northern Expedition Army, and the grain and grass brought from Ganzhou will be presented under Hua Limu's iron cavalry without any cover!"

"The most important thing now is to find out the origin of this army. Is it Huyan Royal Court's sudden attack on our Northern Expedition Army, or an unexpected army sent by Shibis Royal Court!"

Li Zheng stared at the sand table with a gloomy face: "The battle is changing rapidly, and it will take three days for the fastest golden eagle to pass the letter back. I don't know what the old Duke is facing now. Has he figured out who this army is? Pai, the documents you see now are three days old."

"Report an urgent report to the border!"

"Bring it up!"

"Yes!"

Li Zheng checked the wax and couldn't wait to open the battle report and read it. It took Li Zheng two cups of tea to read the three pages before he came back to his senses.

"The grain and grass of the Northern Expedition Army was intercepted by an unidentified army of about 3 people in the Yixiantian Canyon outside Ganzhou City. This unidentified team had no intention of attacking at all, just to prevent the grain and grass from being transported to the old man. !"

"Judging from the situation mentioned in the old Duke's letter to Zhang Kuang, the situation of the Northern Expedition Army is very bad now. Not only has it lost the southeast of Heshuo, but also the southeast of Heshuo and the eastern part of Hetao that are about to be captured are also in jeopardy. Change hands!"

Liu Mingzhi was a little surprised when he heard the content of Li Zheng's letter: "Father, is there any movement from the Kingdom of Jin?"

"The spies report that the Jin Kingdom is now calm and there is no sign of mobilizing troops. This army is deliberately targeting my Dalong, or targeting the two places in Heshuo that my Dalong is about to recover!"

Song Yu put his fingers heavily on the sand table: "Your Majesty, this team of unknown origin should come from here!"

"Krim Grassland? That's where the Huyan Royal Court and the Shibis Royal Court fought. Which side will come from here?"

Liu Mingzhi shook his head with a gloomy expression: "Father, it is meaningless for us to guess these things here now. Even if we know which side it is, it is of no use. It can't quench our thirst at a distance. The problem that the old Duke is facing now is The crisis of food and grass, as long as there is enough food and grass to recover Heshuo, it will be a matter of time, we can only detour to Suzhou to deliver food and grass to the old Duke, and it is better to waste a little more food than to lose the morale of the army!"

"Mingzhi!"

"My son is here!"

"You and Song Aiqing went to Honglu Temple to draft a document of diplomatic relations and sent it to Huyan Royal Court quickly, saying that I would borrow food from them, and the rest of you Aiqing stay here, I have something to tell you!"

Liu Mingzhi was taken aback for a moment and understood the emperor's intentions!

"My son obeys the order!"
