Lin Heli asked instead, "Gong Shangshu, the emperor is going to send troops to Ningzhou. There are 30 troops in Zhongzhou and Jingdu. How much can the household department provide and how long can it last?"

Gong Shangshu has supervised the transportation of Ningzhou cavalry for many years, and has his own account book in his heart. Crying about being poor is his usual trick. "Back to the emperor, the household department can probably prepare 30 soldiers and horses for two months."

Lin Heli said lightly, "Two months, and the army is on the way back and forth for one month. You only have one month to fight. Yancheng has 6 defenders. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Now Ningzhou is also fighting a defensive war, just to guard against the imperial court sending troops to attack. If the imperial court really sends troops, the Yancheng garrison will increase to 10. The emperor can mobilize the garrisons near Zhongzhou and Gyeonggi. They are not familiar with the northern battlefield. Can we take down Ningzhou?"

"If you don't give it a try, how do you know you won't win?" Li Xiao, who was kneeling on the ground asking for a fight, was young and energetic, and didn't think he couldn't beat the Ningzhou iron cavalry.

Lin Heli sneered, "Try with the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers? In your eyes, the lives of soldiers are worthless. Do you want to try?"

Li Xiao's heart skipped a beat, he was restrained by Lin Heli, he dared not speak, and could only beg Yu Wenjing on his knees.

This group of young generals was promoted by Yu Wenjing in the past few years. Li Xiao was the champion of martial arts, and was promoted by Yu Wenjing all the way to a third-rank general. Xie Zhang was brave and good at fighting in the Ningzhou battlefield for nearly ten years. It is the second rank general.To bear the grace of the emperor, you must share your worries.

This group of generals has long been ordered by Yu Wenjing to request to send troops in the early court. This is the emperor's order. Secondly, they also want to prove themselves. If they can cooperate with the Beiman to take down Ningzhou, it will be a marvelous achievement.If Ningzhou was attacked from both sides, it would be very difficult for Xie Jue and Xie Xun to win even if they had superb abilities.

Lin Shangshu said slowly, "The northern barbarians attacked Ningzhou, and they lost the battle ground. They retreated to the city and could only defend. If he attacked wildly, he eradicated it when he was fledgling, so as to prevent future troubles."

Lin Heli took a deep breath and asked calmly, "If the whole army of Ningzhou iron cavalry is annihilated in the pinch between the Northern Man and the imperial court, then, Mr. Shang Shu, who can resist the Northern Man's marching to the northwest all the way to the capital?"

"The imperial court signed a peace agreement with the northern barbarians, how could they march into Kyoto? They are fighting Ningzhou, not the imperial court!" Lin Shangshu plausibly said.

"A joke!" Lin Heli said sharply, "Beiman and Yanyang have a deep hatred, a thin agreement, if he can sign it, he can tear it up. Without the Ningzhou cavalry, the imperial army is like a sick cat. It's naive to expect a beast to spare the food!"

They all knew the nature of the northern barbarians.

Yu Wenjing asked leisurely, "In Lin Qing's opinion, what should I do now?"

Lin Heli said bluntly, "Your Majesty, the Xie family's rebellion against the imperial court is our internal matter. Now that the northern barbarians have torn up the peace agreement and started a war, the imperial court and Ningzhou should work together to drive out foreign enemies and reassure the people."

The civil servants finally had a commotion. When they said they were going to attack Ningzhou, they were silent and did not want to make trouble because they knew that without the Ningzhou iron cavalry, the northern barbarians would drive straight in and no one could stop them. They didn't want to be ministers of subjugation.Now that they want to join forces, it is impossible for them to agree.

"I think what the scholar said is inappropriate. The northern barbarians are the old enemy of our clan, and the Ningzhou iron cavalry is also our enemy. It is absolutely impossible to join hands with them. It is better to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight and reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"Yes, the Ningzhou iron cavalry has quite a lot of experience in fighting the northern barbarians. As long as they are there, the northern barbarians will not be able to enter the border, and they will consume the combat power of the Ningzhou iron cavalry. relation?"

"Master Wu is right. The Beiman and Ningzhou have just started a war, and they don't know the truth yet. When they decide the winner, they will be in a situation where both sides will suffer. If the imperial court sends troops again, whether it is the Ningzhou Iron Cavalry or the Beiman, when the time comes We have no power to fight, we can take the opportunity to clean up the enemy."

"It makes sense!"

Lin Heli was going to be pissed off by this group of ministers. When the group of people were silent just now, he still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that the civil servants would unite with each other and facilitate this cooperation.

Lin Heli said, "Your Majesty, the war between Beiman and Ningzhou is also an excellent opportunity for the imperial court and the Xie family to restore the old good. The emperor should actively promote cooperation between the two sides, send troops to reinforce, and fight against the enemy together. Only Beiman is Yanyang's old enemy. Only Let Ningzhou see the sincerity of the imperial court and protect the hearts of the people, so that Xie Xun can be persuaded to let go of his hatred and surrender peacefully, Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Zhang Boju agreed with Lin Heli and also came out and said, "Your Majesty, I also agree with what the scholar said, the imperial court should shake hands with the Xie brothers to make peace and eliminate hatred."

Why did Marquis Anyuan claim that he was ill today and that he would not go to court early? If Marquis Anyuan was here, they would not have to come forward.

Yu Wenjing sneered and said, "I really wanted to reconcile the old relationship with the Xie family brothers, give them gold, silver and jewels, entrust the land of Ningzhou, and be the number one opposite-sex king in Yanyang. But they refused. Since they don't want it, I can't do it again." Discuss with them, the melee between Beiman and Ningzhou is the best chance for me to recover the twelve states. The Beiman is indeed my old enemy in Yanyang. Since the academician thinks it is inappropriate to send troops, okay, I will follow the advice and we will not send troops to Yancheng. Letter to Zhongzhou, ask Fang Chuning to lead troops across the Beihe River, attack Jiaozhou, take Jiaozhou, Jinzhou and Xizhou, and regain my land in Yanyang."

Lin Heli, "..."

In the Spring Palace, the Empress and Feng Shu are drinking tea and chatting in the gazebo, Ah Bao is playing in the garden, and Feng Shu is imprisoned in the Palace of Spring, hardly ever going out.The concubines in the palace did not dare to bother her. Once a favored Jieyu came to provoke her and was killed by Yuwenjing. Since then, no one dared to trouble Fengshu.

In this spring palace, the queen came more diligently than Yu Wenjing. Six times out of ten, she would bring A Bao to play in the spring palace. Jing's son, but every time he can arouse Fengshu's love and pity, and Abao will always remind her of Ruyi.

The previous dynasty was closely related to the harem, and the queen was well informed and knew that the Northern Man was attacking Ningzhou, but she never expected that Yuwenjing would order Zhongzhou to send troops to the twelve states.

Lin Yushu said, "I thought he would just watch the fire from the other side and reap the benefits of the fisherman. I didn't expect him to always do things that surprised me."

Such a person who has no bottom line, it is not surprising for Feng Shu to do anything.

"Has the edict been issued?"

Lin Yushu nodded, "My brother can't stop me."

Zhongzhou's soldiers and horses were dispatched, and the pressure on the household department was not so great. The grain and grass stored in Zhongzhou could last for a year and a half without the imperial court supplying it. Xie Xun originally scattered Ningzhou iron cavalry in twelve states to defend the city.After the war broke out in Beiman, he withdrew most of his troops. Now there are only 3 people in Jiaozhou, a city in the twelve states. Zhongzhou soldiers are approaching the city, and Jiaozhou has no power to fight back.Fang Chuning can capture Jiaozhou with 1 people.

If war broke out in the Twelve States, how should Xie Jue and Xie Xun choose?Is it to resist the northern barbarians, or return to aid the twelve states?

Feng Shu was worried, this was a huge dilemma for Xie Jue and Xie Xun, how to solve it?

"I'm going to persuade him, do you think he will listen?" Feng Shu's voice was so soft that she could hardly hear her, she couldn't help looking at A Bao, A Yu and Ruyi were both in the Twelve States.

What should we do if Ayu and Ruyi are left unattended when Zhongzhou sends troops?
"Cousin..." Lin Yushu's eyebrows were gentle, "A man's ambition cannot be controlled by a woman. If he covets you again, he will fight if he should."

"I know." Feng Shu smiled bitterly, "I never had any hope for him."

Lin Yushu chuckled and said, "The emperor has been busy with state affairs recently, and I have been preparing medicinal meals for him to replenish his body, so that the queen mother won't say that I don't care about him."

Feng Shu admired Lin Yushu very much. She and Yu Wenjing had almost lost their relationship with each other, but Lin Yushu was a good queen. Under her rule, the harem was peaceful, and there was no such thing as jealousy or framing. She had a soft temper and extremely high wrists , can hold down all concubines.He never harmed innocent children for the sake of the prince. The children of the concubines in the palace, except for one concubine who slipped and fell on a rainy day, all the children were born safely.

She has no husband and wife affection for Yu Wenjing, but she cares about his diet and daily life, and she is meticulous and appropriate.

Lin Yushu gave Feng Shu the medicinal recipe.

"When he is upset, Ai comes to the Spring Palace to eat, and you can watch and prepare it for him." Lin Yushu reminded her, "During his medicinal meal, there are many taboos, you can tell the kitchen to be more careful."

Feng Shu took the medicinal food, looked into Lin Yushu's gentle eyes, "Okay."

Lin Yushu smiled slowly, and waved to Abao, "Abao, we should go."

A Bao was wearing a sapphire blue short jacket, running up and down from the snow, and politely saluted Feng Shu when he entered the gazebo, "A Bao has seen Chen Mu Concubine."

"So cute." Feng Shu touched his face, and couldn't help but wonder what Ruyi would look like. Xie Jue wrote that she looked like her brother, so it should be true.

My nephew looks like my uncle, Ah Bao looks more like Lin Heli, but fortunately not like Yu Wenjing.

"Come over next time, I'll make a snowman with you to play."

"Okay, thank you, Concubine Chen."

Lin Yushu led A Bao and left Yingchun Palace. Feng Shu kept looking at A Bao's figure, filled with longing, and after a long time, she turned her gaze back to the medicinal diet list.
