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

"Where are the armies of Dayuezhi and Yindudeng Kingdom currently located?"

After listening to the report for half an hour, the empress finally spoke.

She had not expected the sudden situation today.

The news of the great victory in the Hexi Corridor, in which Xia Yun annihilated 400,000 barbarian troops, almost made the empress forget about the alliance with Dayuezhi, Yindu and other countries.

"In reply to His Majesty, the 50,000 elite cavalrymen of the Great Yuezhi have already entered the Mobei grassland."

"Our Yindu's 60,000 elite cavalry are on their way to the Mobei grasslands and are expected to arrive in about ten days."

"..."

In just a few breaths, envoys from Dayuezhi, Yindu and other countries rushed to respond.

They have been watching the fire from the sidelines for more than a month, and now they dare not wait any longer.

No one can guarantee that in a month's time, the army of the Daliang Dynasty will be able to completely annihilate all the barbarian troops on the Mobei grassland.

"Since this is a joint operation, the command of this joint operation must belong to our Daliang Dynasty. Do you agree?"

After thinking for a moment, the empress asked again.

"Before we came to Daliang Dynasty, the kings of various countries had already jointly nominated Daliang Dynasty as the leader of this coalition. The right to command the battle should naturally be decided by Daliang Dynasty."

The envoy from Dayuezhi responded immediately.

In fact, these things had been decided long before they entered the palace.

Therefore, when facing the empress's questions, everyone's face showed a calm expression.

"In that case, when you return to your respective countries, please tell your kings that the commander of the army for this joint operation is our Daliang Dynasty's Northern Expedition Marshal Xia Yun!"

"I have already said that my Great Liang Dynasty does not need you to send any more troops for this war, but since all of your countries are willing to work together to wipe out the barbarian troops, I also allow it."

"But if anyone dares to disobey the orders of our Daliang commander on the battlefield of the Mobei grassland, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The empress's words of both kindness and severity were heard by everyone present at the same time.

The envoys from Dayuezhi, Yindu and other countries couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.

But even so, they still didn't dare to show their inner dissatisfaction openly.

"We will obey the order of the Emperor of Daliang Dynasty!"

After a moment, all the messengers responded in unison.

At this time.

A young eunuch with a hurried look suddenly trotted all the way from the side hall to the side of the empress.

"Your Majesty, the Minister of War Lei Zhenning and General Qin Tianye, the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition, are here to see you. They claim they have urgent military matters and hope to see your Majesty immediately."

The young eunuch knelt down before the empress and immediately told her that Lei Zhenning had requested to meet Her Majesty.

Upon hearing this, the empress frowned immediately.

As the Minister of War, it was normal for Lei Zhenning to be approached for urgent official business.

But how come Qin Tianye, as Xia Yun's top general, was not serving on the front line? Instead, he suddenly appeared in the capital?

There must be something fishy going on!

Within just a few breaths, the empress had a vague premonition in her heart.

Qin Tianye suddenly returned to the capital and went to the palace to meet the emperor with Lei Zhenning. I'm afraid things are not simple.

"Lord Xu, take the envoys from various countries down and make good arrangements for them. Don't neglect them."

At this time, the empress turned her head, looked at Xu Jinsong and gave instructions.

"The minister obeys the order."

Xu Jinsong responded and took the orders away immediately.

"Let Lei Zhenning and Qin Tianye come in."

When only the empress and a few eunuchs and palace maids were left in the hall, the empress immediately looked up and gave an order.

"According to the order."

The young eunuch responded and quickly left the Qingxuan Hall.

A short while passed.

The young eunuch reappeared in the Qingxuan Palace, followed by Lei Zhenning and Qin Tianye.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant Lei Zhenning, pays respect to His Majesty. Long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty, long, long live His Majesty!"

"This humble general Qin Tianye pays respect to His Majesty. Long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty!"

The two entered the Qingxuan Palace and the first thing they saw was the empress, they immediately began to pay their respects.

"My two beloved ministers, there is no need to be so polite. Stand up quickly."

After seeing the two of them, the empress looked calm, smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lei Zhenning and Qin Tianye responded in unison, and then stood up from the ground together.

Then Lei Zhenning took a step forward and took out a letter from his arms.

This letter was a joint petition for war submitted by Xia Yun, Zhao Gongming and Xiao Yan. Qin Tianye had already handed this letter to him when he entered the palace.

"I heard there was an emergency at the front. I wonder what happened?"

The empress signaled the eunuch to present the memorial while she asked directly.

Hearing this, Lei Zhenning did not answer first, but looked at Qin Tianye standing aside.

Qin Tianye understood what he meant and took a step forward.

"Your Majesty, currently in the northeast, our Daliang Dynasty's 610,000 troops are encircling the remaining 380,000 barbarian troops."

"According to the Grand Marshal's estimate, it will only take about a month for our imperial army to immediately wipe out the remaining barbarian troops!"

Qin Tianye first explained the specific situation on the Northeast battlefield in front of the empress.

However, the words that came out of Qin Tianye's mouth immediately shocked the empress, who had not had time to read the memorial.

"According to the intelligence of the army, in this Northern Frontier War, the barbarians gathered 780,000 troops to invade the border of our Daliang Dynasty. In fact, it was the Dune Kingdom that secretly pushed for it."

"When our army entered the Northeast, traces of the Dune Kingdom appeared on the Mobei grassland."

"Therefore, Grand Marshal Xia Yun, Zhili Governor Zhao Gongming, and the Ninth Prince jointly submitted a memorial, begging His Majesty to agree to our army's plan to march into the Dune Kingdom!"

Qin Tianye spoke one after another, and in just a few words, he explained the whole story.

"Send troops to the Dune Kingdom?!"

The empress, who was about to check the memorials, was suddenly startled, and the calm expression on her face disappeared in an instant.

Although she had some guesses about Qin Tianye's purpose of returning to the capital, she had never imagined that he would come back with a letter of request to fight!

And the target of the troops was actually the Dune Kingdom in the north!

Deeply shocked, the empress quickly checked the specific contents of the memorial.

As time passes by.

The shock on the empress's face not only did not diminish in the slightest, but became even more intense.

Things turned out to be just as Qin Tianye said.

This memorial was indeed a letter of request for war! And it was jointly submitted by Xia Yun, Zhao Gongming, and Xiao Yan!

This also indirectly means that the three have decided to take action against the Dune Kingdom!
