In the Snow: The Prince of Beiliang Rebelled at the Beginning

the next day.

Bai Qi led 20,000 troops and headed straight for Gusai Mountain, and then launched the first large-scale proactive offensive of Northern Liang.

Hou Hai quickly came to Bai Qi's side and reported: "General, everything is ready, just waiting for your order."

Bai Qi nodded and said, "Okay, now that we are ready, let's go."

"Go and pass on the order, so that all the spies in hiding can be dispatched."

"Once our army arrives, we will definitely give them a big surprise."

Hou Hai clasped his fists and said, "I obey your command!"

He quickly ordered someone to pass on the message.

…………

Northern Wilderness.

At this moment in Beiting, Beimang, the imperial palace was full of ministers who were discussing military and national affairs.

Her Majesty the Empress who was sitting on top now looked a little unhappy.

Standing in the front were Xu Huainan and Tuoba Bodhisattva.

One is the head of civil officials, and the other is the head of military officials.

Although Xu Huainan is from the south, he is highly appreciated by Her Majesty the Empress and is now second only to the emperor in Beiting.

Even some nobles in the Northern Mang had to respectfully call this southerner "Prime Minister" when they saw him.

Tuoba Bodhisattva.

This person is extremely legendary.

The existence of this person will rewrite the future of Beimang.

He is also a treasure discovered by the empress, and a new upstart in the Beimang army.

Even though many people are not convinced, no one dares to underestimate the strength of this Northern Mang military god.

In the main hall.

Now it's just mumbling.

But the empress sitting on it had a cold face, as cold as ice.

He just stared coldly down without saying a word, but even a glance would make one feel suffocated.

Xu Huainan said nothing.

Tuoba Bodhisattva was like a piece of wood, standing there motionless.

After a long time.

The Queen of Beimang looked coldly at Tuoba Bodhisattva below, "General Tuoba, Liuzhou has been taken by Beiliang, and now the "Liuzhou City" has been built. What do you think about this?"

When asked, Tuoba Bodhisattva was stunned.

He still saluted the Empress and said, "Your Majesty, I think Liuzhou is a no-man's land. Now that it has been taken over by Beiliang, we can take this opportunity to send troops to Liuzhou."

"Lord Tuoba, do you advocate a direct attack?" The empress's majestic voice echoed in the hall, while staring at Tuoba Bodhisattva. The Northern Mang "Military God" was not afraid at all, his eyes were firm, and he nodded heavily: "Your Majesty, this is what I think, we must send troops, otherwise, once Liuzhou City is built, they will organize an offensive against us."

The Queen of Beimang could not help but frown slightly, feeling at a loss.

There were divisions and oppositions within the country, and even the army was in pieces. Although there were new nobles like Tuoba Bodhisattva, they were still restrained by others, especially the nobles of Beiting, who were particularly vocal in their opposition.

The empress looked to Xu Huainan on her right, "What do you think, Prime Minister?"

Xu Huainan stood up and said respectfully to the empress: "Your Majesty, I think we should take precautions early. I heard that the general named Bai Qi cleaned up Liuzhou in just one month, and our people were also wiped out."

"This person should not be underestimated, otherwise we in Beimang will be in great trouble."

"I am sure that this man will not only take over Liuzhou, but will continue to move north and take over the grasslands of Gusaizhou. That is an important grassland in Beimang, and the horse farm is also there. Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible."

The empress looked a little ugly.

At this moment, all the civil and military officials in the court were silent.

That's when.

Outside the hall, a sharp voice suddenly sounded:

"Li Mibi requests an audience with Your Majesty."

"allow!"

The empress's eyes lit up.

Because her shadow prime minister has arrived.

quickly,

A figure quickly entered the hall.

He was dressed in black, skinny and with sunken eyes.

Everyone held their breath and concentrated.

It seemed that seeing this shadow prime minister of Beimang, these people were a little afraid.

"Your humble servant, Li Mibi, pays respect to Your Majesty."

Li Mibi's voice was a little low and hoarse, as if it came from hell.

"Li Qing, please stand up."

The empress spoke calmly. She tried her best to hide her inner panic. Seeing this shadow prime minister meant that he had to bring her the news.

She hoped it was good news.

The empress continued to ask: "What news did Li Qing bring to me this time?"

Li Mibi said in a deep voice: "Liuzhou is taking action right now, and the target is Gusaizhou."

"what?"

Li Mibi's words immediately shocked all the civil and military officials in the hall.

The whole hall began to discuss:

"Beiliang is so brave."

"Yes!"

"If they attack our Gusai Province, we will attack Beiliang Youzhou and Liangzhou, leaving them no time to look east."

"Beiliang only has 300,000 cavalrymen in total. Now they are attacking Gusai Prefecture. This is dividing the troops, which is a taboo in military strategy."

"I think this leader is just a layman."

"It's OK for building a rear base, but it's not good enough for leading troops in battle."

"..."

There are concerns.

Someone came up with a plan.

Some people are still waiting and watching.

Especially the nobles of Beimang, now they all cross their arms, looking as if they are not concerned and have nothing to do with it.

The Queen of Beimang also frowned slightly when she saw this.

As for these nobles, she currently not only tries to reason with them, but also tries to recruit them.

But there were some troublemakers among them, and some even stood up against him.

This gave her a headache.

The more the empress thought about it, the angrier she became. She slapped the table in front of her and said angrily, "This is the imperial court, not a market. It's inappropriate to make so much noise."

Suddenly.

Everyone fell silent.

They all lowered their heads and dared not say a word.

The empress looked at Li Mibi, hoping to get some ideas from him.

In addition to controlling the Beimang Spider Web's intelligence, Li Mibi is also an out-and-out strategist.

The bigger reason why he was able to become the "shadow prime minister" of Her Majesty the Queen of Beimang was that every time he made a plan, he would surely be able to settle major issues.

"Your Majesty must take action."

Li Mibi said in a deep voice. It is also a request. Now is the time to prove Beimang and encourage the soldiers.

"Who to send?"

The empress asked. This was the key point for her, who should she send now?

And just then.

Li Mibi thought for a moment and said respectfully, "Your Majesty... follow the principle of proximity."

"The governor of Gusai Prefecture is Tao Qianwu, so let him go."

"Besides, he is under the jurisdiction of the King of the Southern Courtyard. By the way, let the King of the Southern Courtyard know and help him."

"We must stop Bai Qi's army from advancing."

Xu Huainan glanced at Li Mibi, who didn't look at him.

Tuoba Bodhisattva folded his hands into his sleeves, his face expressionless.

The rest of the people also looked at Li Mibi, as if they wanted to know what was in the mind of this shadow prime minister.

The empress glanced at the crowd, and everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the empress.

Seeing everyone like this.

The Empress asked angrily, "What? No one is talking now?"

"You nobles, now is the time for you to defend Beimang. Why don't you stand up and just fight among yourselves?"

"I have finally figured it out. You are just a bunch of cowardly sheep, not the eagles and wolves on the grassland."

"This is really a disgrace to me, the prairie eagle."

Even in the face of the empress's humiliation, the ministers remained silent.

They know it very well.

This is just the empress's anger. As long as they ignore it, this woman will have no good way to deal with them.

"Lord Tuoba, do you also agree with Lord Li's proposal?!"

The empress asked Tuoba Bodhisattva.

Hearing this, the latter nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I am busy right now. With the support of the King of the Southern Courtyard, Bai Qi and his men dare not act too recklessly. Mr. Li's method is the best one at the moment."

The empress glanced at everyone and spoke calmly:

"Then do as Li Qing said."

After saying this, the Queen of Beimang left Li Mibi behind.

Li Mibi followed the empress to Hanzhang Palace, where the empress and Li Mibi sat down respectively.

The Empress asked, "Li Qing, why do you think Bai Qi of Beiliang went north this time?"

Li Mibi did not hesitate or even think, "Your Majesty, for the sake of deterrence."

“It’s also to boost morale.”

"It's also to get a warhorse."

The empress chuckled and said, "Doesn't Xu Xiao also have a horse farm? Why does he need a war horse?"

Li Mibi whispered, "Your Majesty, this time Bai Qi is probably not an ordinary general. I have never heard of him before. It's like he fell from the sky."

"This man is different from the Northern Liang generals we studied before. He is best at "annihilation warfare."

"From strangling the disobedient refugees to driving away the 3,000 cavalrymen from Beimang, they were all extremely iron-fisted."

"I'm afraid he's another 'human killer', but in my opinion, he might be Beiliang's future 'God of War'."

The empress was shocked.

She never expected it.

Beiliang is home to so many talented people.

In front of him was the Northern Liang King Xu Xiao.

As well as the advisers, civil and military staff under Xu Xiao.

There are also 300,000 cavalrymen who are determined to defend Beiliang to the death.

This made the Northern Mang Queen feel somewhat emotional.

I secretly said in my heart:

"Xu Xiao really has a backup plan. Is this what he prepared for Xu Ping'an?"

That was all she could think.

After all, ever since she met Xu Xiao, she knew that this man was extraordinary. In the end, he became the King of Beiliang and stayed in Beiliang to confront her.

Now another general named Bai Qi emerged.

"So, is there any chance of success if Tao Qianzhi is sent to deal with Bai Qi's army?"

The Queen of Beimang asked.

"No."

Li Mibi spoke.

"I understand." The Queen of Beimang frowned.

She did not blame Li Mibi.

Because she knew very well that Li Mibi had more secret reports.

It is also news about "Bai Qi's army".

She stared at Li Mibi and asked:

"Li Qing, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Li Mibi took out a memorial from his sleeve. Upon seeing this, the eunuch standing beside the empress immediately went to Li Mibi and presented the memorial to the empress.

The latter read it quickly with a gloomy expression on his face.

She was forced to suppress her anger.

He said calmly:

"Li Qing. Come with me."

"Yes."

Li Mibi followed the empress out of the hall and entered the highest point of the palace.

Halfway through.

The empress had dismissed everyone, except Li Mibi who followed behind her.

The empress stood on a high place.

Li Mibi stood on a step lower than the other. He could never see any expression on the face of this shadow prime minister of Beimang.

Even when standing in front of the Queen of Beimang, he did not show the slightest emotion.

"Is the content of your document true?" the empress confirmed again.
