back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 31 Border Emergency Report
"Pass the ball to No. [-], pass the ball to No. [-]! By the way, okay, pass it to me!"

"Don't try to break through my defense!"

"Hey, I didn't say that, it's easy to break through your defense!"

……

This is the Royal Military Academy in the outskirts, Emperor Hong Xiang of the Dashun Dynasty, Lu Chengqi is playing cuju with a bunch of big bosses, naturally using the Cuju rules formulated by Lu Chengqi.

And the little father-in-law's voice was raised to his heart, for fear that something bad would happen to Lu Chengqi.And when Lu Chengqi started playing, how could he stop?When Lu Chengqi was in college, his favorite sport was football. Although his skills were not very good, but in this different time and space, being a coach and pretending to be bi is more than enough.And he also likes to demonstrate in person, coming and going again and again, he simply put on his clothes and galloped on the green field.

In the beginning, Lu Chengqi's skills were considered top among the officers, but the good times didn't last long. With Lu Chengqi personally ordering not to release the water, the officers with outstanding physical conditions showed their unique advantages in less than two days .Lu Chengqi's small body has been paying attention to exercise after rebirth, but the gap is there after all, and gradually he can't keep up.

And the charm of Cuju is that even if he is abused badly, he still enjoys it. If Lu Chengqi refuses to rest, who dares to persuade him?
After a stick of incense passed, the game ended with Di Qing's whistle, and Lu Chengqi lay down on the green field, panting heavily.And those young officers joked one by one: "Little emperor, we are not as good as a finger of yours when it comes to dancing and writing; but you are not as good as us when it comes to such brute force!"

Lu Chengqi rolled his eyes angrily, and said: "How many times have I said that Cuju not only depends on brute force, but also requires cooperation and brains. If you just rush around, no matter how strong your brute force is, can you beat ten people in front of you?"

The officer touched his head in embarrassment and said, "I don't read enough books..."

Lu Chengqi said earnestly: "One needs to study all one's life. If you know that you have read few books, you must work harder. Lu Meng, a famous general in the Three Kingdoms period, was also laughed at and said that he was uneducated. He knew his shame and was brave. Governor Lu Su looked at him with admiration. I don't ask you all to be Lu Meng, but you also can't be helpless fools!"

At this time, the stories of the Three Kingdoms had already been spread among the people.Because in this time and space, without the appearance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, those heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties would naturally be submerged in the dust of history.And that's it, the fierce general of the Three Kingdoms period was very sought after by the people of Dashun, and almost everyone was familiar with it.

Lu Chengqi stood up, flipped the Cuju upside down lightly and deftly, after more than ten times in a row, kicked the Cuju up, and then held it in his hands.At this time, Cuju was already sealed and inflated with pig bubbles (pig bladder), which was quite close to modern football, which made Lu Chengqi adapt so quickly.

Holding Cuju in his arms, Lu Chengqi pointed out some tactical issues for the three Royal Cuju teams, then walked under the shade of a tree, took a sip of iced plum soup handed over by the little eunuch, and thought: "It's really corrupt. The life of the emperor, although it is close to the middle of winter, but this ice must have been harvested last year and sent to the ice bank for storage. It will cost a lot of manpower and material resources!"

But he didn't want to point it out. He knew that many people made their living by mining ice in winter.If he hastily banned it, I am afraid that the effect will not be good, and it will cause public anger instead.He knows the skill of making ice with nitrate, but if he throws it out all at once, many people will lose their livelihood.Let's take it slowly. If you want to revitalize the economy, you can't do it in a day or two.

Just when Lu Chengqi was thinking wildly, Xu Chongguang, the chief minister of the cabinet, hurried over after being notified, and said, "Your Majesty, urgent report at the border!"

With a "click" in Lu Chengqi's heart, he knew it was broken.At this time, it was approaching midwinter, and it was already late autumn.In the past, the Khitans had already gone south and started looting at the border of Shunliao, but this year there is no report on the military situation at the border. I am afraid that the Khitans are going to make a big move!
Sure enough, Xu Chongguang submitted the urgent report to the frontier with a heartbroken heart, and Lu Chengqi opened it with a heavy heart, and his face was immediately clouded.Both Xu Chongguang and Di Qing knew that the little emperor was a sign of anger.

Lu Chengqi read it word by word, took two deep breaths, and calmed down.He said indifferently: "Yelu Hongji, what a Yelu Hongji, he actually deceived me, Dashun, and no one else?"

Di Qing knew that the Khitan had always regarded Dashun as a deadly enemy, and the two sides fought countless fierce battles at the Youyun border.The characteristics of the nation predestined that the farming nation should rely on the city for defense, and the nomadic nation would rely on the sharpness of the cavalry to show off their might on the border of Youyun.Fortunately, the walls of Youyun Sixteen Prefectures were so high and thick that the Khitans had no way of attacking them.

After Lu Chengqi finished speaking, he handed the urgent report to Di Qing, and after reading it, Di Qing took a deep breath: "The Khitan people are deceiving people too much, Your Majesty, please allow the veterans to lead the army to go out, and those Khitan people will be killed forever! "

It turned out that on the urgent report, it was written that a hundred thousand Khitan troops invaded, and the border city was turned into a piece of terracotta.Many farmers were taken away, good fields were destroyed, and hundreds of thousands of border people were left homeless...

The most irritating thing is that those Khitans are still under the city of Youzhou, openly insulting the emperor of Dashun, the army and the people of Dashun, saying that there is no general in the Dashun Dynasty, but the baby army and so on...

It's no wonder that Di Qing became so angry. It took Lu Chengqi a long time to calm down his anger. He knew that if he wanted to completely mutilate the Khitans, or even all the nomads, he had to bear with it.Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.The new type of army has not been trained, and black and gunpowder have not been transformed into weapons, so what can they use to fight the Khitans?Just relying on the so-called [-] banned troops?Those old soldiers, afraid that they hadn't arrived on the battlefield, they peed their pants in fear.

Lu Chengqi said lightly: "Xu Qing, Di Qing, don't worry, I have my own plans. Tomorrow's court, I will give an explanation to the officials and the common people. Xu Qing, go and give orders to the Ministry of War, the frontier army will strictly guard Youyun The sixteen prefectures are not allowed to go to war. If there are refugees, bring them into the city. Order the household department to mobilize food, warm clothes and other materials to the sixteen prefectures of Youyun."

Xu Chongguang knew that the best way to deal with it now was this, so he had no choice but to accept it.But the breath in his heart was really unbearable, and Xu Chongguang left the Royal Military Academy angrily.

After Lu Chengqi waved Di Qing back, he thought to himself: "Okay, I have an excuse to join the army this time. Hmph, it's time to clean up those veteran soldiers!"

After making up his mind, Lu Chengqi silently calculated in his heart how to get rid of desire and build a strong army.He looked around and saw those graceful figures on the green field, and he knew that the future of the army lay on them.
