The emperor asked the Empress Dowager in confusion: "Grandma, what do you think about this matter?"

The Empress Dowager looked at Yun Xi, who was standing aside, with burning eyes. Her voice was calm and powerful: "Yun Xi, can you estimate how many soldiers and horses are needed to wipe out the King of Lingnan?"

Yun Xi took a deep breath and said firmly: "Six thousand soldiers and horses are enough to defeat the enemy."

After hearing this, the emperor sneered and said disdainfully: "What a shameless statement. Wanting to defeat the tens of thousands of King Lingnan's troops with six thousand soldiers and horses is simply a daydream."

However, the Empress Dowager ignored the emperor's cynicism. She frowned, and after thinking for a moment, she said to Yun Xi: "I will give you four thousand soldiers and horses. Qin Tianjian has calculated that it will be an auspicious day in three days. Your The wedding needs to be arranged in advance. I will grant you the marriage and let Beiminghou perform the wedding for you. On the night of the wedding, you will quietly leave the capital from the southwest gate with you."

When Yun Xi heard this, he was shocked. Four thousand soldiers and horses? This is less than previously expected. She quickly asked: "May I ask the Empress Dowager, who will be the marshal for this expedition?" If there is an experienced marshal commanding, perhaps four thousand soldiers and horses will be enough to fight.

The Empress Dowager took a deep look at Yun Xi and said firmly: "In this expedition, you will be the marshal, my lord."

Yun Xi's eyes widened in shock, looking at the Empress Dowager in disbelief. The emperor was also stunned, and then expressed his objection: "Emperor Grandma, even if we send troops to fight, we can't let Yun Xi serve as marshal. Although she has some martial arts skills, they are all about embroidery, but she has never been on the battlefield. How can she compete with the King of Lingnan? Tens of thousands of troops to resist?”

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager showed her first smile today. She looked at Yun Xi gently and said, "Yun Xi, can you? Use your head to vouch for the emperor."

Yun Xi looked at the smile of the Empress Dowager, and felt a strong shock in her heart. She took a deep breath and looked at the emperor with firm eyes: "Your Majesty, I, Xiao Yunxi, guarantee with the head on my neck that during this expedition, I will be able to kill the Lingnan rebels and return in triumph."

Although the emperor still had doubts in his heart, he had never disobeyed the empress dowager, so he finally nodded in agreement. He added: "You must remember not to act rashly. This trip is mainly to spy on military intelligence. Once there is any news, it must be quickly reported back to Beijing."

"My daughter obeys the order!" Yun Xi knelt down to accept the order.

The Empress Dowager then ordered: "For this expedition, I have appointed Nan Xuan as the supervisor, Lin Dalang as the deputy commander, and Liao Quangui as the food and grass pioneer. You must remember that when marching and fighting, food and grass go first. You disguise yourself as a caravan from the southwest gate Leave the city and meet up in Changzhou. Before arriving in Changzhou, you must keep a low profile and do not reveal your whereabouts. "

Yun Xi took the order and left, and a thrilling battle was about to begin.

"The soldiers need to prepare enough dry food and water. There will be no rest along the way. It is entirely up to you to decide whether the four thousand elite soldiers will be divided into parts or combined into one. Leave the palace immediately and go to the Red Feather Camp to order troops. My decree will be here shortly. You Your uncle Lin Dalang will fully assist you. These few words show that the Empress Dowager has thought carefully and carefully. "

When the emperor heard this, he was slightly startled and understood. He took a deep look at Xiao Yunxi and said with a hint of depth in his voice: "My lord, please do not let down the high expectations of the Empress Dowager."

Yun Xi held her head high and said with a firm voice, "My daughter obeys the decree!" She had experienced hundreds of battles in her previous life, and even though she was going on a battle for the first time after her rebirth, she showed no fear.

She quickly analyzed the situation between the enemy and ourselves in her mind and thought about countermeasures.

She stood up, took three steps back, and performed a standard military salute: "My lord, please retire!" Then, she turned around and strode away, revealing a firmness and determination in her back.

In the palace, the Empress Dowager looked at the emperor and asked, "I don't understand why the emperor's grandmother arranged it like this?"

The emperor shook his head and sighed: "No, I understand the profound meaning of the emperor's grandmother."

"King Lingnan, we must get rid of him quickly! Otherwise, it will become a serious problem." The Empress Dowager said firmly. She looked at the sunlight slanting in from outside the door, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes: "I have missed it once, and now I have the opportunity to set things right. I must not let him get away with it again."

The emperor was confused when he heard this: "What does the emperor's grandmother mean by this?"

The Empress Dowager withdrew her gaze and looked at the emperor with soft eyes: "I don't mean anything else. I just want to remind you that if you get rid of King Lingnan, the court will be safe. He is a serious problem. As the emperor, you must always be vigilant."

She slowly withdrew her gaze, and her soft eyes fell on the emperor. The blood of the Dongfang family was indeed extraordinary, and the emperor was born with a handsome face.

"I have long noticed that he has rebellious intentions, but I just don't want to believe that he will actually start an army. It wasn't until Yihan's accident that I realized that he had secretly made so much gunpowder. I have always been too naive." The emperor. He let out a long sigh, his tone revealing endless regret and regret.
