At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

In the evening of that day, when Tuoba Jinghui was in Changchun City, he was discussing the march plan in detail with Xia Yun.

Qin Tianye, who was burdened with an important task, finally arrived in the capital with a memorial jointly signed by Xia Yun, Zhao Gongming and Xiao Yan.

However, after Qin Tianye entered the capital, he did not go to the imperial palace immediately, but first found the Minister of War Lei Zhenning.

"General Qin Tianye pays respect to the Minister!"

After successfully meeting Lei Zhenning at Lei Zhenning's mansion, Qin Tianye immediately knelt on one knee and clasped his hands together to greet him.

"General Qin, there is no need to be so polite."

Lei Zhenning quickly helped Qin Tianye up from the ground.

He was handling official business in his study before. When he learned that Qin Tianye had suddenly visited him, he immediately had Qin Tianye brought into the lobby of the mansion.

"Shouldn't General Qin be accompanying Lord Xia on the front lines right now? Why did he suddenly return to the capital? Could it be that Lord Xia encountered some trouble?"

After Qin Tianye stood up, Lei Zhenning quickly asked.

In his eyes, Qin Tianye was different from other generals. He was Xia Yun's most trusted general.

He is also the chief military commander under Xia Yun. In terms of official rank, the power Qin Tianye actually possesses now is equivalent to that of a governor.

"Everything is going smoothly in the battle ahead. Our 610,000-man army is currently divided into three groups to carry out a comprehensive encirclement of the 380,000 barbarian troops in the northeast. It is expected that all battles will be resolved within a month."

Qin Tianye first talked about the current situation on the battlefield in Northeast China.

But immediately afterwards, Qin Tianye took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Lei Zhenning respectfully.

"The Marshal has ordered me to personally deliver this letter to Lord Lei. Please take a look at it."

When Qin Tianye left Changchun City that day, in addition to a memorial signed jointly by Xia Yun and three other people, he also carried another secret letter.

Lei Zhenning took the letter and opened it to read it immediately.

In a flash, an expression of extreme shock appeared on Lei Zhenning's face.

"Xia Yun is going to attack the Dune Dynasty?!"

Lei Zhenning spoke subconsciously.

The content of the letter was too shocking. The army of the Daliang Dynasty was still fighting against the barbarian troops, and Xia Yun’s plan in the letter had actually begun to plot against the entire Dune Dynasty!

"That's right. This time the barbarians gathered an army of 780,000 to invade Daliang. It was the Dune Dynasty that was behind all this.

"In order to solve the problem once and for all, and to prevent the future generations of our Daliang Dynasty from suffering from the war in the north, the Marshal has decided to use military force against the Shaqiu Dynasty. This time, I would like to ask Lord Lei to help the Marshal in front of His Majesty."

As Qin Tianye spoke, he immediately clasped his fists and bowed respectfully towards Lei Zhenning.

The reason why he did not take the joint memorial of three people and go directly to see the empress was because, although he was the number one general under Xia Yun.

But in front of the empress, he is ultimately a nobody and has little influence.

If one wants to completely persuade the empress to agree to send troops to attack the Dune Dynasty, an important court official like Lei Zhenning must come forward, and only then can the matter be foolproof.

"Alright! I will take you to see His Majesty right now! Since Xia Yun has decided to fight, this matter must be dealt with quickly and strictly!"

After a brief thought, Lei Zhenning, who originally had a look of shock on his face, now showed a very solemn and serious expression.

He knew Xia Yun's temper. He was a man of his word. Once Xia Yun made a decision, it was often difficult for others to change it.

Even the empress is the same.

On the other hand, Lei Zhenning himself was also happy to see the Dune Dynasty sending troops.

As the Minister of War, he had also long concluded from various intelligence reports from the northern border that this was an invasion by the northern border barbarians, and that the Dune Dynasty was involved.

Therefore, whether it is to capture the Dune Dynasty in one fell swoop or to punish the Dune Dynasty, directly sending troops to attack is the only choice.

After a while, Lei Zhenning took Qin Tianye and left the Lei Mansion, hurried towards the direction of the palace.

It was already evening, and under the moonlight, the whole city seemed exceptionally quiet and cold.

However, when Lei Zhenning brought Qin Tianye to the gate of the palace, they discovered.

The area outside the palace gate was already surrounded by a crowd, and the sound of chattering could be heard from the crowd.

"What's going on? What are you all doing here?"

Lei Zhenning appeared from behind the crowd and immediately uttered a scolding word.

When the people on both sides saw that it was Lei Zhenning coming, they immediately made way for him.

Nowadays, Lei Zhenning's reputation in the court is second only to the chief minister Xu Jinsong.

"Lord Lei, the court has just received a report that the Great Yuezhi, Yindu and other countries have agreed to join our Daliang army to march north to attack the barbarians. The envoy is now in the palace to discuss with Your Majesty."

Someone in the crowd immediately explained for Lei Zhenning.

Hearing this, Lei Zhenning and Qin Tianye looked at each other, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes at the same time.

At this point in the Northern Frontier War, there are only 380,000 barbarian troops left on the Mobei grasslands that can be sent to the battlefield.

By this time, the Dayuezhi, Yindu and other countries had just agreed to join the Daliang Dynasty in marching north to attack the barbarians.

It was obvious that he had been watching the fight from the sidelines, and when he discovered that the barbarian troops were about to be defeated, he wanted to come forward and get a piece of the pie.

Such behavior naturally made Lei Zhenning dissatisfied.

"You are making such a commotion at the gate of the Imperial Palace. How disgraceful! Why don't you disperse from here immediately?"

Then, Lei Zhenning frowned and scolded.

The civil and military officials at the scene naturally did not dare to confront Lei Zhenning head-on, and they immediately dispersed.

Lei Zhenning took Qin Tianye with him and headed straight for the palace.

When the two arrived outside the gate of Qingxuan Palace, the guards at the door immediately stopped them.

"Your Majesty is meeting with envoys from the Great Yuezhi Yindu and other countries. Please wait here, Lord Lei."

"I have important business to attend to Your Majesty immediately."

At this time, the gloomy look on Lei Zhenning's face had not completely dissipated, and there was a strong sense of oppression in his words.

When the guards heard that Lei Zhenning's trip was for military and national affairs, they did not dare to stop him any further.

A young eunuch immediately trotted towards the side hall, and then entered the main hall of Qingxuan Hall from the side hall.

"Your Majesty, the fact that the Great Yuezhi, Yindu and other countries have come from afar this time is enough to show their sincerity. I suggest that you quickly send a report to the court residence and report to Changchun City to inform Marshal Xia Yun of our plan for a joint war with the Great Yuezhi, Yindu and other countries."

"In this way, the multinational forces will jointly enter the Mobei region to fight, and will be able to completely destroy the participating barbarian forces in one fell swoop! To ensure the peace of our Daliang Dynasty for thousands of years!"

At the foot of the jade steps of the Qingxuan Palace, Xu Jinsong, the chief minister of the cabinet, had a very rosy complexion and spoke one word after another.

Just half an hour ago, he came to the Qingxuan Palace with several envoys from the Dayuezhi, Yindu and other countries.
