Empire's Summoning Generals System

Chapter 218 The Court's Worries

That night.

The rain has stopped.

Liu De still returned to the Li Mansion (under Li Lei's gnashing of teeth gaze), sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, staring at the dark night, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Lord!"

Liu De looked back and smiled: "Old Jane! Why don't you go to bed so late?"

"Isn't the lord still asleep?" Jian Yong asked with a smile, "What is the lord thinking?"

Liu De swept away the rainwater on the stone table with his hands, looked at the splashing water, and said, "It's been a long time since I came out, and I don't know what's going on with Dongyu now? Has General Gongsun already put that piece of water away?" The pasture land has been seized, what happened to the newly built Leyang City, did Yang Zichuan do anything secretly?"

"General Gongsun and the others are veteran generals, my lord, please rest assured that Dongyu will be fine." Jian Yong comforted, "Now, we should solve the current predicament! Eliminate the Bodhisattva Sect outside the city."

"You are right. In the current situation, it is impossible to send two hundred cavalry to turn around the Bodhisattva teaching. We can only stick to the city and wait for reinforcements, or..."

Liu De raised his eyes to look at Jian Yong, and said, "Or retreat by yourself because of insufficient food and grass!"

"From tomorrow onwards, it will be a long and difficult battle! We must make all preparations." Liu De tapped his finger on the table and said softly.

Jian Yong looked at Liu De with serious face, Jian Yong put away his cynical attitude, cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live the queen mother!"

Left Prime Minister Chen He, Right Prime Minister Li Zhen and General Luan Wang Ji Changyou paid homage to the Emperor and Empress Dowager He.

"All loves, please rise up!" The little emperor said to the three under the gesture of the Empress Dowager He. It seemed that he already had some majesty as an emperor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Queen Mother!"

"Three Qings, what is going on with the bandits? Such a thing happened in a dignified capital, what are all the officials doing?" Queen Mother He said to the three of them.

"Report to Your Majesty and Empress Dowager, according to the interrogation of the captured captives, I have learned that they are members of the Bodhisattva sect, believe in the old mother Bodhisattva, shouting 'the old mother comes to the world, all living beings will be liberated', deceiving people's hearts, a full-fledged heresy. The leader claims to be the Venerable Great Bodhisattva, and there are other positions under him, such as King Ming, King Xiaoming, and General Arhat. It can be said that it is a hierarchical religion, and Dongzhou is their base camp.

And they got the news from Dongzhou, so they created chaos in the capital, and even wanted to invade the imperial city, causing turmoil in the world, threatening the country of Great Zhou, and then they took the opportunity to rebel!

The other ministers did not interrogate, but according to the minister's guess, since the bandits in the capital started an uprising, Dongzhou may be in danger now!Just no news yet! "Ji Changyou said.

"Ah! Then what should I do!" Empress Dowager He covered her small mouth, her eyes revealing a look of panic.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty and Queen Mother, I have sent a fast horse to Dongzhou, and news will come soon!"

"The great general is the uncle of the first emperor, the pillar of the country, and the Ai family is relieved to have my uncle here." Seeing that Ji Changyou had made arrangements, Empress Dowager He praised.

"I can't be praised by the queen mother like this!"

At this time, Li Zhen stepped forward and reported: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, according to General Huangfu's report, Cao Bandit Pioneer has been fighting with him, but occasionally there is a small fight, it doesn't look like he is going to attack the city at all, General Huangfu I feel that the enemy army is deceitful, please make arrangements early!"

"Would Thief Cao want to hold back General Huangfu's troops in Ganping City, and then take the opportunity to attack the capital!" Chen He asked suddenly.

"Quick! Bring the map!" Ji Changyou said to the eunuchs on both sides.

"Yes!"

When the map was brought over, Ji Changyou spread the map on the ground, and everyone looked at it. Ji Changyou slid his fingers on the map, from Xizhou to Ganping City, and then from Ganping City to Jinzhou, his fingers stopped for an instant.

"Does Thief Cao want to attack Zhongzhou from Jinzhou?" Li Zhen said.

"Now we don't have any information that the Cao thief took a detour in order to attack the capital, but! We must guard against it! Jinzhou to Zhongzhou is a plain. If you drive straight in, you can reach the capital in an instant!" Ji Changyou said.

"But General He Sui led tens of thousands of horses to guard Jinzhou, Cao thief should not be so bold, right?" Li Zhen doubted.

"The rebellious officials and thieves in Jinzhou have not yet been wiped out. If the Cao thieves and the rebels attack General He's troops back and forth, then..." The three looked at each other, and they all saw the worry in each other's hearts.

"Brother, the three Qing families, what should I do!"

Although the Empress Dowager He didn't understand military affairs, she was not stupid. She could tell that if what King Luan said was true, then his elder brother, General He Sui of Great Zhou Wei, might be in danger for his life!So Empress Dowager He could only turn her attention to Chen and the three of them for help.

Ji Changyou stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Queen Mother, now I can only quickly inform General He and let him be careful. The capital does not have any troops to support him now."

"Then write quickly! This matter will be handled by the three Qing families!" Empress Dowager He urged.

"I'm waiting for orders!"

The three kowtowed.

After leaving the main hall, Ji Changyou said: "General He is an arrogant man, what should we do if he doesn't listen to what we say?"

Li Zhen snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "He Sui led the army to attack that rebel Ouyang Yi. It has been nearly a year now, but he still failed to take him down. I also heard that Ouyang Yi is getting more and more powerful. There are even tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, controlling half of Jinzhou, you say, that's it! Why are you still so proud?"

At this time, Chen He added: "He Sui is proud, conceited and quite arrogant. It is because he has done nothing on the Jinzhou battlefield that he will not listen to our suggestions. In his opinion, our Suggestions are just mocking him!"

Ji Changyou flicked his sleeves, and said, "I have to remind you, I just hope he can improve after going through honing now! Of course, we have to make second-hand preparations! This king is going to send a large number of sentry cavalry to Jinzhou. As soon as there is a situation, we can get the news immediately."

"What the general said is very true, so what should the Bodhisattvas in Dongzhou do? Even the capital is afraid of other states. I am very worried!"

Chen He said worriedly.

"My king has already passed on some news about the Bodhisattva Sect. I hope that all the states will take precautions! Our capital has no troops to support the states. We can only let the states form their own troops to destroy this cult. I hope that this Wang thought about it more, the Bodhisattva Sect does not have such a big force to organize soldiers and horses to rebel!"

Ji Changyou shook his head and said, "Let's wait for the military situation from Dongzhou!"

On the other hand, Li Zhen, who was on the side, thought carefully, and secretly said: "I should write a letter to Li Yun and ask him to expand his troops in Lingzhou. Now I feel more and more precarious. I still have a Soldiers are down-to-earth!"
