The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

"What? Jiu'an City? Taiyue Dynasty?"

When Lin Xiaoxiang heard the report from the Minister of Rites Xun Zhan, she stood up suddenly with her eyes wide open. She had thought carefully before sending troops to attack the Song Dynasty.

Liu Tairen, the emperor of the Taiyue Dynasty, was already nearly seventy years old. He had remained on the throne only because he had no son to succeed him.

The most important thing is that the Taiyue Dynasty has never had any confrontation with any surrounding dynasties or forces in nearly twenty years.

Therefore, when she mobilized the entire Wei Dynasty's military force, she had considered it before choosing to mobilize General Tai Shi Zi to lead the troops to fight. Now Xun Zhan came to tell her that the Taiyue Dynasty launched an attack on Jiu'an City, which made her dumbfounded.

When Xun Zhan saw Lin Xiaoxiang's expression, he was also full of doubts. He couldn't figure out whether something had happened inside the Taiyue Dynasty that led to the sudden attack on Jiu'an City.

"How many soldiers are there in Jiu'an City, and who is the commander?"

Lin Xiaoxiang looked at Xun Zhan.

There had been no conflict in the Taiyue Dynasty for so many years that she had forgotten about the Old An City.

"Your Majesty, the defender of Jiu'an City, Guo Lun, is not very strong. He only has more than 10,000 defenders."

Xun Zhan's face was heavy. He knew very well that in the current Wei Dynasty, it would be very difficult to withdraw troops after Pang De and Taishi Zi left with an army of 400,000.

You must know that not long ago, the Tianyu Dynasty stationed troops outside Yunjin City, and His Majesty the Emperor transferred 100,000 troops from Xiahou Zhong who was guarding Mengguan to guard Yunjin City.

The only army that can be mobilized now is General Gao Yuan. The problem is that Jiu'an City is in the west of the Wei Dynasty, and Gao Yuan's army is responsible for guarding the east. It will take at least ten days or half a month to mobilize troops, and it will be impossible to reach Jiu'an City. As the saying goes, distant water cannot quench a nearby fire.

"How do you think we should deal with this, Lord Xun?"

Lin Xiaoxiang frowned and looked at Xun Zhan.

"Your Majesty, we want to mobilize the army to deal with the Taiyue Dynasty, but I'm afraid that distant water cannot quench nearby fire."

"I think we can order the county governors along the way to mobilize their troops on their own to stop the enemy from attacking the city." Xun Zhan bowed slightly to Lin Xiaoxiang.

Ever since Lin Xiaoxiang ascended the throne and became emperor, he had disbanded and incorporated all the soldiers from all counties of the Wei Dynasty into the five major legions.

The five legions correspond to the five generals respectively. Unfortunately, General Xing Daorong was killed in the battle with Ye Feng for the Eighteen Cities of Yanyun last year.

"Don't open this door."

Lin Xiaoxiang simply waved her hand to refuse. She knew very well that once the county governors had military power in their hands, no one knew what would happen in the future.

The Great Wei Dynasty that she wanted must have a highly centralized military power. Only in this way could it have a place in the Nine Provinces in the future.

You must know that the reason why the Qin Dynasty in the eastern part of Kyushu was able to unify the eastern part was largely due to the concentration of its military forces.

"Your Majesty, I think this is just a temporary measure. After repelling the attack of the Taiyue Dynasty, it is not a bad idea to take back their military power."

Xun Zhan continued to advise Lin Xiaoxiang. He knew very well that if they did not organize troops to resist, the counties along the way would not have sufficient troops to resist the attack of the Taiyue Dynasty.

They only received news of the enemy attack from Jiu'an City, and did not know that it was not the Taiyue Dynasty that attacked Jiu'an City, but Murong Wan'er's Eighteen Thousand Cloud Riders and twenty thousand Cloud Cavalry.

"This is absolutely impossible. Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Lord Xun, who do you think you should send as the general to lead the troops to deal with the Taiyue Dynasty?"

Lin Xiaoxiang had finally eliminated all the princes and incorporated the troops of each county. Now they wanted to give them back. Naturally, she would not agree.

He simply asked Xun Zhan, the Minister of War, who would be the most suitable person to be sent as the general now.

"Your Majesty, I think General Xu Yunchu is very suitable."

While Xun Zhan was giving advice, he carefully looked at Lin Xiaoxiang's expression.

Xu Yunchu became famous at a young age, and his martial arts talent and ability to lead troops were very strong. He once made great contributions in the suppression of King Dingnan and was named General of Cavalry. However, this person had a close relationship with Ye Feng, and was promoted step by step by Ye Feng.

"Xu Yunchu?"

Lin Xiaoxiang was naturally very familiar with General Xu Yunchu, but this man had such a good relationship with Ye Feng that she really had to be on guard.

Sun Biao of Yuecheng is a lesson for us.

"I think General Xu Yunchu is a native of Wei. It would be most appropriate for him to lead the troops to fight against the Taiyue Dynasty."

As the Minister of War, Xun Zhan was well aware of Xu Yunchu's abilities.

He did not follow the routine when marching and fighting. The 200,000-strong army of King Dingnan was defeated by his 50,000-strong army and eventually King Dingnan was captured alive.

The reason why he first mentioned that Xu Yunchu was a member of the Wei clan was that he wanted Lin Xiaoxiang to let go of her grudge against Xu Yunchu.

"Where will the troops be sent from?"

Lin Xiaoxiang gritted her teeth, seemingly tacitly agreeing to Xun Zhan's proposal.

"Your Majesty, the current battle situation is unclear. You can first order Xu Yunchu to lead 50,000 reserve troops to prepare for battle. After investigating the details, we can make a long-term plan."

Xun Zhan was also very clear that he had only received news from Guo Lun that the enemy army had attacked Jiu'an City.

Whether the Taiyue Dynasty is coming with great force or just making small moves, different approaches are required.

"Pass on my order and order General Xu Yunchu to lead 50,000 reserve troops and be ready to fight at any time." Although Lin Xiaoxiang was on guard against Xu Yunchu in his heart, he also knew that he must not let the Taiyue Dynasty attack the city and capture the stronghold. He had to stop the enemy at all costs.

"According to the order!"

Xun Zhan turned and left towards the imperial study.

"An Yi, find two people to quietly keep an eye on Xu Yunchu. If he makes any unusual movements, kill him immediately."

Just as Xun Zhan left, Lin Xiaoxiang found An Yi. Although she sent Xu Yunchu to lead the troops to fight, she still had to be on guard.

"As ordered!"

An Yi turned around and walked out of the imperial study.

……

Yuancheng City Lord’s Mansion.

"Zhao Shun pays respect to the Lord of the State."

Ye Feng arrived at Yuancheng with his army and went straight to the City Lord's Mansion.

When Zhao Shun saw Ye Feng, he did not dare to be negligent and bowed respectfully.

He was the son of King Ye, Zhao Xiong. He was secretly glad that he chose to surrender instead of resisting stubbornly, otherwise he would have died without knowing how.

Even two powerful people like King Nanyu and Zhao Changlin could not defeat Ye Feng.

He also thought clearly that since he was a member of the royal family, there was no need for him to seek to usurp the throne.

"Master Zhao, you are welcome. I will be borrowing Yuancheng for a while."

Ye Feng helped Zhao Shun up and spoke directly.

"Zhen Guojun is in charge of the Great Song Dynasty for your majesty. Not to mention Yuancheng, even the entire Great Song Dynasty has to listen to you."

Zhao Shun's face was full of smiles, but he was shocked and stunned inside.

Yuancheng is close to the Nile Forest and is almost the safest place. He didn't know what this king was up to, so he brought an army of more than 200,000 to Yuancheng.

At the beginning, he thought that Zhenguo Jun was coming to clean up the remnants of King Ye, and he was almost scared to death.
