Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 279 Imperial Edict
Strong men such as warriors and Tatar guards often appear on the battlefield, so key places like the Nine-Border Army Town have some means of dealing with strong men.

Heavy crossbows and artillery are one of them, and this big net is also a means of dealing with strong people.

Several large nets covered the corpse, and the warriors began to hit the corpse with stones.

The divine corpse in the big net kept struggling, but every time it struggled to break open the big net, it would be hit by rocks and its movements would be stagnated.

The disciples of the Tatar God Mountain in the Tatar tribe can feel the state of the god's corpse through the wooden sign.

He issued the order anxiously, but after the order was issued, his face turned pale.

The divine corpse is indeed invincible, but the person controlling the divine corpse is too weak.

The corpse was hit with stones by three hundred warriors in turn under the city wall. The corpse did not suffer any damage, but he could not rush up the wall.

As long as the divine corpse breaks the big net, a new big net will be made up.

The Tatar cavalry from the rear arrived. It was impossible for these cavalry to break the city. Their task was to follow the corpse into the city, not to break the city independently.

According to the estimates of the Tatar Holy Mountain, no city in the world can withstand the impact of the divine corpse.

At Jia Gong's full speed, he could reach Ningxia Town in less than half an hour.

This time the order was issued, his body was already shaky.

The Tatar Grand Master didn't know much about the Divine Corpse. He didn't know how determined the Tatar Mountain was to let the Divine Corpse take action.

Ningxia Town is relatively remote, but there are always a large number of troops stationed in the north, and it only takes a few days to get to the nearest army.

"Come back!" The Tatar Holy Mountain disciples issued an order to the wooden sign.

At this time, two cabinet bachelors arrived, and the Emperor did not let the three princes leave. They would always be involved in such government affairs in the future.

But he didn't expect that he would be stuck in the first step. He could only stay down and let the army recover for a few days, and then mobilize the army to cooperate with the corpse to attack the city.

"Retreat your troops!" The Tatar Grand Master glanced at the Tatar Holy Mountain disciples and said.

The situation of the disciples of the Tatar Holy Mountain is very bad. Before the departure, the Tatar Grand Master told him from the Tatar Holy Mountain that there must be no problems with the disciples of the Tatar Holy Mountain.

As long as the Tatar Holy Mountain disciples are fine, nothing will happen to the divine corpse.

In the Daming Palace, the three princes were there. They came to listen to the Supreme Emperor's instructions.

The Supreme Emperor needs to train them, so he must constantly point out their mistakes.

The Supreme Emperor has decided that in a few months, the grades of the three princes can be improved. With more power in their hands, they will be able to judge which prince has better abilities.

"This is an urgent message from General Liu of Ningxia Town. More than 100,000 Tatar troops have gathered outside Ningxia Town!" Academician Tian handed the letter in his hand to Academician Deng and said.

"The Tatar Mountain intervened and sent monsters to join the battle!" Anger flashed in the Supreme Emperor's eyes, and he said coldly.

Dai Quan took the letter and delivered it to the Supreme Emperor.

The Tatar Grand Master was also helpless. The original plan was to use the corpse of the gods to break through Ningxia Town in one go, and then use Ningxia Town as a base to attack the interior of Dagan.

The Tatar army began to build a camp, and the subsequent supplies also caught up.

"The two of us go to the Daming Palace and report this matter to the Supreme Emperor!" Academician Deng said solemnly after reading the letter in his hand.

If he hadn't been in the cabinet now, he would have planned to visit Ningxia Town.

"Your Majesty, please urgently report to the army eight hundred miles away from Ningxia Town. The Tatar army has gathered outside Ningxia Town!" Academician Tian said as he handed over the letter in his hand.

The matter was urgent, and the two cabinet bachelors immediately headed towards the Daming Palace without any hesitation.

In the cabinet that just celebrated the New Year, the cabinet members were very relaxed, talking about some interesting things while handling government affairs.

The messenger was too tired to speak. He took out a mailbox and handed it to Academician Tian.

Another messenger entered the Daming Palace. After checking the mailbox, the letter fell into the hands of the Supreme Emperor.

"Ningxia Town, eight hundred miles urgent, urgent military situation!" A eunuch led an eight hundred miles urgent messenger into the cabinet and said.

Since the two cabinet bachelors were both in the Daming Palace, the 800-mile express was sent directly to the Daming Palace this time.

He looked at the state of the disciples from the Tatar Holy Mountain. If he suddenly fell into a coma and lost control of the divine corpse, he might be captured by the Dagan people.

Even the two most serious cabinet bachelors did not stop everyone from talking. They knew that it would take some time for the cabinet bachelors to return to work.

He has a large number of war horses raised in Ningxia Town. Once Ningxia Town is broken, those war horses will fall into the hands of the Tatar tribe.

But the Tatar Holy Mountain did not expect that there would be more than 300 warriors in a military town, equipped with artillery, heavy crossbows, and a large amount of armaments.

This is for the ears of the cabinet scholars, and all cabinet members need to know about this matter.

Li Qiang's heart tightened slightly, Ningxia Zhenke was at stake.

The divine corpse gave up the attack. He retreated little by little during the attack. When he was out of the attack range of the warriors, he was hit several times by crossbow arrows, and then he retreated from the battlefield.

"Ningxia Town is not that easy to break. Send an order to send the nearest army to reinforce!" After reading the letter, the Supreme Emperor pondered for a moment and ordered.

Academician Tian first checked the mark on the mailbox, then opened the mailbox and took out the letter inside.

As the corpse of the god withdrew, the three thousand Tatar cavalry also turned their horses and retreated towards the main force.

This kind of emergency military situation is handled by the cabinet when the emperor is unable to manage government affairs, not to mention that this is a period when the cabinet manages government affairs.

The three princes were confused. They had never heard of the Tatar Mountain.

"Report! The second 800-mile express is here!" A eunuch ran in and said.

But the two cabinet bachelors knew something about it, and they felt horrified.

"Isn't it said that the Tatar Holy Mountain cannot participate in secular affairs?" Academician Tian said in confusion.

"As long as they are willing to pay the price, the Tatar Mountain can still participate in the war. In fact, if the immortals of Daqian are willing to pay the price, they can also help. It's a pity..." The Supreme Emperor shook his head and said.

At this moment, he no longer had the confidence he had before, and the intervention of the Tatar Mountain was unexpected.

No wonder Ningxia Town would send out eight-hundred-mile urgent messages continuously. This is a monster that discovered the Tatar Mountain.

"Grandpa Emperor, if we hadn't sent Prince Yizhong to the expedition, he would have defeated the 100,000 Tatar army with only 500 soldiers!" The fifth prince interrupted at this time.

"Yes, when it comes to the most powerful leading general in Daqian, it must be Prince Yi Zhong!" The third prince Li Hongkang thought for a while and agreed.

The seventh prince looked at the fifth prince and the third prince and understood what they were thinking.

"Prince Yitada fights in person and can definitely defeat the Tatar army!" He also supported. The three princes had a rare unified opinion, and they all wanted Li Qiang to go to war.

The reason why the three princes are so united in their opinions is that they do not want Li Qiang to accidentally exist during the competition for the throne.

Given Li Qiang's status, once Li Qiang supports one of them, it will destroy the original balance.

The problem is that none of them have the confidence to let Li Qiang support them, and they are worried that Li Qiang will support others, so the best choice is to separate Li Qiang from the capital.

The Supreme Emperor also thought of this, and he also did not want Li Qiang to affect his plan to choose the crown prince.

"It is decreed that Prince Yizhong will be appointed as the General of Zhenbei. The 30,000 troops in Ningxia Town and the 50,000 troops near Ningxia Town will be under his control. Prince Yizhong will resist the Tatar attack!" The Supreme Emperor issued the order in a deep voice. .

Academician Tian and Academician Deng looked at each other, and they heard something wrong in this imperial edict.

Normally, when a general is sent from central Beijing to a border town to participate in a war, he will always bring some troops with him.

Besides, facing the Tatar army of more than 100,000, the Emperor only gave 30,000 troops in Ningxia Town and 50,000 troops nearby.

With an army of 80,000 against the Tatar army of more than 100,000, this army is still too small.

Not to mention, the 30,000 troops in Ningxia Town are facing the attack of the Tatar Mountain Monster. It is really hard to say how many troops will be left after Li Qiang arrives.

"Your Majesty, do you want Prince Yi Zhong to bring an army?" Academician Tian still tried to argue.

"Tanakado underestimated Prince Yoshitaka. Back then, Prince Yoshitaka only brought 500 soldiers to defeat the 100,000 Tatar army. Isn't it enough that the emperor gave 80,000 troops?" The fifth prince shook his head and said.

"War is about the right time, right place, and right people. It's easy to say that the right time and place are right. Without enough troops, how can we let Prince Yizhong fight against the Tatars?" Academician Tian ignored the fifth prince's words and said to the Supreme Emperor.

"There is no need to discuss this matter anymore. Prince Yi Zhong has three thousand guards. Let him take the three thousand guards and quickly give the imperial edict to Prince Yi Zhong and ask him to leave immediately!" The Supreme Emperor waved his hand and said.

He really didn't dare to give Li Qiang any more troops. Now Li Qiang led the nine provinces to check and control the troops of the nine provinces in the south of Daqian.

If more power is given to the northern army, if the tail cannot be removed, I am afraid that the entire army will be in chaos.

The Supreme Emperor has made a plan, and Grand Scholars Tian and Deng can say nothing more. Although they are cabinet bachelors, they still have to listen to the Supreme Emperor, a man with a lot of war experience, for such military matters.

Li Qiang was still waiting for news in the cabinet, but she didn't expect Dai Quan to come with the imperial edict.

Dai Quan read out the imperial edict, named Li Qiang the general of Zhenbei, and immediately went to Ningxia to defend the enemy.

Li Qiang was thinking about finding an opportunity to go to Ningxia Town, but she didn't expect that someone would give her a pillow when she fell asleep.

"Be careful, the monsters from the Tatar Mountain have joined the war this time!" Dai Quan reminded Li Qiang in a low voice when he saw that he had accepted the order.

The second eight-hundred-mile urgent order was not received by the cabinet. Li Qiang did not know about the monster from the Tatar Mountain.

"What kind of monster is it?" Li Qiang asked quickly.

"It's a monster that can't be harmed by artillery and heavy crossbows!" Dai Quan didn't know much, so he could only tell the contents of the eight-hundred-mile expedited attack.

Li Qiang immediately knew what kind of monster it was. The Tatar Mountain had sent a corpse.

He was a little anxious now. He knew very well how terrifying the divine corpse was.

He himself has five divine corpses, and these divine corpses cannot do any harm no matter how they attack.

In the secular world, this divine corpse is an invincible existence. It is powerful, fast, and has unparalleled defense. Unless you find a way to restrict its movement, letting it get close will be a disaster.

Eight hundred miles of expedited journey from Ningxia Town to the capital, but many days had passed. At this time, the situation in Ningxia Town was really unpredictable.

After receiving the imperial edict, he immediately left the palace and returned to his mansion.

"Brother Qiang, why are you back at this time?" It was not yet noon, and Li Qiang was usually busy in the cabinet at this time. Lin Daiyu couldn't help but asked curiously after seeing him.

"Sister Lin, I received the imperial edict and am going to the border town. I will tell you when I get back and leave!" Li Qiang replied.

"Is there any danger?" When Lin Daiyu heard that she was going to a border town, she knew that there was going to be a war, and her face turned slightly concerned.

"Who else in the world can hurt me!" Li Qiang said with a smile.

His confidence reassured Lin Daiyu. Lin Daiyu had also seen Li Qiang's martial arts and knew how powerful Li Qiang was.

"You have to come back early!" Lin Daiyu said again.

"Don't worry, it won't take long, it's just a small matter!" Li Qiang pretended not to care.

He added a 'Healing Technique [Advanced]' to Lin Daiyu, and then turned and left.

Lin Daiyu walked to the door, watched his figure disappear, and sighed softly, unable to hide the worry in her eyes.

She had also deliberately cooperated with Li Qiang before, not wanting Li Qiang to have peace of mind while fighting outside.

No matter how powerful Li Qiang is, war is always extremely dangerous.

Li Qiang left the mansion and rode a war horse to the military camp next to Prince Yi Zhong's mansion.

"Beate the drum and gather the generals!" he gave the order as soon as he arrived at the military camp.

Commander Jiang took the order and immediately asked his soldiers to go over and beat the general drum. With each drum sound, all the sergeants came to the training ground fully armed within a cup of tea.

"Military order, you will be led by Commander Jiang and march towards Ningxia Town. Supplies along the way will be provided by the cities along the way!" Li Qiang announced in a deep voice.

"No!" Three thousand sergeants responded in unison.

"Commander Jiang, please keep this military order. I am waiting for you in Ningxia Town!" Li Qiang handed an order to Commander Jiang and ordered.

"Your Majesty, aren't you coming with us?" Commander Jiang couldn't help but ask.

"Your speed is too fast. My king and his soldiers are faster!" Li Qiang explained with a smile.

He didn't say anything else. Time was extremely precious right now.

He didn't even go to the artillery army outside the city in person. He just asked a strong guard to pass the order for the 500 artillery army to move towards Ningxia Town.

He himself took Jia Gong, who was apparently a personal soldier, out of the capital. On a deserted road, he jumped on Jia Gong's divine war horse.

Jia Gong didn't have to hold back on speed. At a speed of 488 meters per second, there was an explosion in a moment, and the divine war horse broke through the speed of sound.

A huge shock wave appeared behind them, but Jia Gong and Li Qiang had already appeared far ahead.

The divine war horse moves forward in a straight line. Whether it is mountains or rivers, it becomes a smooth road at such a speed.
