After rebirth, the empress was spoiled by the emperor's uncle like a little girl

Pei Guichen ordered Xu Ying to infiltrate the barbarian capital. What was his intention?

A Bao, who was alert instantly, gave up the idea of ​​leaving the clinic. He stroked his swollen belly, frowned and said, "I'm not feeling well either. Yanzhi, help me back to the couch and lie down for a while."

As he spoke, A Bao tightly grasped Wan Wan's hand.

Wanwan, who was pretending to be Madam Chihe's personal maid, immediately understood the meaning of the word "rouge" and quickly cooperated.

At the same time, far away in Yangu Pass in Daqi.

In the City of Eternal Night, beside the moat, the several-meter-high black rock walls glowed with a cold light.

At this moment, the City Lord's Mansion is in the library next to the ice lake.

As night fell, candles were lit.

It illuminated the northern border military defense map in the center of the warm room, which marked the defense points of the various fortresses in the northern border.

There are also two pictures depicting the areas governed by the sixteen barbarian tribes outside the northern border.

The black-robed king stared at the two maps, old and new, without saying a word, his face gloomy.

Over the years, the secret agents sent into the Barbarian Capital have continuously sent back news, which, bit by bit, have been integrated together. Although not detailed enough, it is better than nothing.

The time boundary is the Battle of the Vast Sea three years ago, one is old and the other is new.

At a glance, one can see the changes in the invasions of the barbarian territories outside the northern border over the past three years.

"In the Battle of the Vast Sea that year, you drove the sixteen tribes of the barbarian tribes back deeper into the northern desert." Yan Haixi stroked the wooden sculpture of the cavalry in his hand sternly, then glanced at the battlefield sand table in front of him, and finally fixed his gaze coldly on the sand table, where the blue vast sea with the barbarian enemy flag was planted.

In fact, he still had one thing in mind.

Yan Haixi said sternly: "Why did you suddenly stop in that battle? If you had pursued the victory, you could have reached the Barbarian King's capital after crossing two more deserts."

"The imperial court is blocked by the wind." The black-robed king withdrew his gaze from the map of the sixteen tribes of the barbarians: "If we continue to fight northward, we will have to take away all the silver in the Great Qi Treasury. Once this reason came out, whether it was true or false, those people in the imperial capital did not dare to take such a dangerous risk."

Before he finished speaking, the black-robed king opened the military newspaper on the desk again.

Recently, there have been urgent reports that barbarian soldiers have repeatedly provoked outside Qicheng in Qingzhou.

They even took advantage of the cover of the dark night and snowstorm to raid suburban villages, burning, killing and looting. They were truly becoming more and more unscrupulous.

Such frequent harassment of the Qingzhou border is the result of the barbarians trying to spy on the northern border.

After all, the Xuanyuan Emperor’s coup to seize the throne had just happened.

The barbarian King Ule must have become suspicious, thinking that the old emperor of Taiji Palace, no, it should be Princess Diyang who is the regent, simply cannot spare enough energy to strengthen the defense of the northern border garrison line.

However, King Ule needed facts visible to the naked eye to support his guess.

The barbarians are eyeing Daqi covetously, so this battle between Daqi and the barbarians must be fought.

But once the war started, flesh and blood were trampled into mud under the iron hooves.

The danger of the battlefield changes rapidly, and it is impossible to control it by one's own strength.

How can we deploy troops to minimize the sacrifice of soldiers? We must also avoid the people of Daqi facing hunger and cold in the coming year.

Just like the reason that stopped him back then, money and people.

A Bao must grasp this subtle balance accurately.

Therefore, there is one thing. Even though he prevented Po from taking risks himself, Po still disguised himself and entered the barbarian capital.

In the barbarian capital, a street attack ignited the anger of the sixteen barbarian tribes.

But what made the sixteen barbarian tribes even more uneasy was that the Geli Dam was blown up.

In the land where the barbarians live, water is more precious than gold.

The Geli Dam was not only prepared for the water shortage in autumn and winter. If the dam was blown up, the following spring rain would not be enough to support the irrigation of all the grain fields and feed the cattle and sheep, not to mention the daily needs of the barbarians.

If King Ule wanted to track down the real culprit behind this incident, a thorough investigation of all the physical evidence and the confessions of the captured assassins would only point to one truth, which was that it was all planned by Master Pei of Mount Futu.

As early as a few days before the Geli Dam was blown up, King Wule had the intention to kill Pei Guichen.

When Pei Guichen was sent to Governor-General Dou's Mansion in Qicheng by the Eastern Palace guards, the scouts of Futu Mountain who were monitoring the Western Xinjiang sent a pigeon to say that the fake Pei Guichen who stayed in Futu Mountain had been ambushed by the Golden Scorpion.

Unfortunately, that man’s swordsmanship was quite advanced, so the Golden Scorpion failed to succeed.

With new and old grudges, the possibility of King Wule and Pei Guichen joining forces was also completely broken.

At this time, Yan Haixi was thoughtful: "Although the wind and snow have stopped for now, I don't know when it will suddenly start again."

"Once the snowstorm arrives and the battle begins, the casualties of the Northern Frontier Cavalry will surely double."

The mountains, forests and deserts of northern Xinjiang are complex and difficult to distinguish.

He was better at naval warfare, so he naturally could not match King Feng Ran's knowledge of the situation here.

"What are you going to do?"

Hearing this, the black-robed king stroked the Northern Frontier Tiger Talisman that was lying quietly in the square sandalwood box.

It is the authority left to him by Po before he left.

Suddenly! Outside the library, there was a roar of fighting! !

"Stop! Catch him!!"
