Resisting the Wind and Splendor

She's going to conquer Southern Mongolia!

Chu Yueli had only said a few simple words, and those words were so light and seemingly weightless.

To someone else, that would be utterly frivolous!

However, for some reason, the Emperor and Consort Yu felt as if their hearts had been struck a blow the moment they heard it.

There was a feeling that I had seen hope.

The emperor was in a complicated mood.

Yu Fei quickly calmed down and hurriedly said, "Southern Mongolia is different from all the battlefields you have been to before. The Khitans are fierce and violent, and they are more difficult to deal with than soldiers from any other country."

Consort Yu didn't look down on Chu Yueli; she was genuinely afraid that if something happened to her, Mo'er would be heartbroken.

She didn't want Mo'er to come back and hate her for not protecting Chu Yueli.

"Before Mo'er left, she instructed that you must stay in the capital to take good care of the Prince's Mansion!" Consort Yu emphasized.

Chu Yueli looked at Consort Yu, her tone always gentle, yet conveying a firm and resolute feeling: "Bei Mo will not restrict my movements, and he will always respect me. So, Mother, there's no need to lie to me; Bei Mo certainly didn't say that to you personally."

"You little brat!" Consort Yu wanted to get angry, but found that she couldn't get angry at all.

The Emperor suddenly asked, "Ali, you said you would take over Southern Mongolia, what are you relying on? The 50,000 Chu family troops in Qinyang?"

The Emperor was somewhat surprised that Chu Xiaohe took away 50,000 Chu family soldiers.

The Chu family army was not large to begin with, and he thought Chu Xiaohe would take them all with him, but he didn't expect that he only took half of them.

It's impossible to judge whether he's right or wrong, but the fact that Chu Yueli still has 50,000 troops at his disposal is a good thing.

However, what can a mere 50,000 Chu family soldiers do?

Unless she has a backup plan, what she just said was truly ignorant and arrogant.

“Father, this is the third point I mentioned.” Chu Yueli said calmly and unhurriedly, “Thirdly, my maternal grandfather is stationed in the southern border. Although the southern border is not close to the southern Mongolia, it is much closer than the capital.”

"When the King of Mo and my elder brother set off for Southern Mongolia, I was afraid they would encounter difficulties there, so I borrowed grain from my grandfather. However, my grandfather's men have not yet joined up with the Prince's army, and the Prince's Northern Cavalry has run into trouble."

"Although my eldest brother is also my maternal grandfather's grandson, he has lived in the capital for many years and his relationship with my maternal grandfather's family is not very deep. But I am different."

She looked at the Emperor, her calm demeanor concealing a convincing determination.

"I spent half of my childhood growing up in my maternal grandfather's house. Both my grandfather and my uncle doted on me. If I were to personally lead the expedition to Southern Mongolia this time, my grandfather would definitely not stand idly by; he would certainly send troops to help me."

These words struck a chord with the Emperor.

More than anyone else, he hoped that the Ming Dynasty would send troops to help Dongling recover Southern Mongolia.

However, they could not allow Ming Sihai to directly reclaim Southern Mongolia.

If the Ming dynasty were to recover and then take over Southern Mongolia, the combined territory of Southern Xinjiang and Southern Mongolia would be so vast that it could form an independent small country.

However, if his troops are sent to help Chu Yueli, then as long as the Mo King is in power in Nanmeng at that time, there is no need to worry about Ming Sihai annexing Nanmeng.

King Mo, after all, is surnamed Lu.

The Emperor had some confidence in his son. Regardless of whether he favored the Lu family or the Qin family, he certainly didn't favor the Ming family.
