Heaven

Looking at the glint in the eyes of his beloved, Jing Mingrui persuaded him to take back his pleading and could not speak again, so he could only hug him tightly quietly.

--------------------------------

Chu Palace, Xihe Palace——

Those who can attend the Xiaochao meeting today are all important officials who hold military and political power.Due to repeated defeats in the battle against Wei, some generals who did not take Wei Jun to heart gradually became restless.

"Reporting to Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the King of Bai, the Wei State sent 30 troops this time, and the attack is fierce. On the fourth day of June, three checkpoints have been conquered, and they have advanced nearly two hundred miles to the west.

Wei Jun was uncharacteristically, although the military discipline was still a little lax, but all of them fought without risking their lives, and they were so powerful that it was really difficult for our army to hold on.On the seventh day of June, Chen Shouyi, the governor of the northern province, ordered to clear the walls and suppress the wilderness, and the defenders everywhere retreated and concentrated their forces, and it was only then that they were able to withstand the Wei army's offensive in the Huluguan area. "

When he heard Wei Jun's abnormality, Jing Mingrui couldn't help raising his eyebrows.The Wei army has always been afraid of the Chu army. What made them overcome their fear and display a fighting power that surpassed their own?

He pondered for a moment and turned to Jing Mingquan: "Aquan, is there any movement from Jing country?"

"There is no change in the army, but Ji Xi is about to have a new queen." Jing Mingquan sneered with contempt: "The fifth princess of Wei State has entered the territory of Jing State, and will arrive in the capital soon. He has already calculated After everything is done, I am afraid that when Wei Guo sent people here, he hadn't abolished the empress, but the two ends were seamlessly connected. It is said that there is also the imperial ambassador of Wei Emperor among the people who followed the princess, and they probably want to discuss how to unite in the future. It's about fighting against Chu."

Jing Mingrui was silent for a moment and then said: "Li Di listens to the order! I order you to take fifty thousand elite riders to go to Hulu Pass to defend."

"According to the order!"

Jing Mingrui tapped his finger on the edge of the table, Li Di is best at defensive warfare with less resistance.Most of the low morale in front of the Chu army is due to the sudden loss of the main general. He can at least quickly stabilize the morale of the army by bringing reinforcements out.Furthermore, the sudden increase in the fighting power of the Wei army is likely to be due to some crooked methods. Such methods must not last long. Using Li Di to fight the delaying war is the best way at present.

"Send Zhennan Wang Jingmingyu and Hussar General Meng Ben to quickly gather defenses at the border of Chu and Jing to prevent Jing from suddenly attacking."

"According to the order!"

"A Quan!"

"The younger brother is here."

"You take people to the Xuefeng area to cut off all land and water connections between Wei and Jing, and you must not allow the armies of the two countries to join forces."

"According to the order!"

"Wang Jingming of Danyang accepts the order! You are in charge of allocating the military supplies and grass for the troops from all walks of life, and preparing for my own conquest. Within seven days, I want to see that everything is ready and the army can go out at any time."

"According to the order!"

Jing Mingrui gave a long list of orders before gently rubbing his temples. What he is most worried about now is not Wei Jun's turbulent offensive.The Wei army lost nearly 20 of the most elite troops in the last battle. In addition, they were beaten helplessly by Jing Yan in the early years. Now even if they rely on some strange force to gain the upper hand for a while, they are still far behind the Chu State in terms of national strength. Great disparity.It is only a matter of time to repel them and even capture Wei.All he needs to consider is the timing of the attack and the size of the sacrifice.

On the contrary, after several generations of operation and accumulation, the Jing army is much stronger than the Wei state in terms of national strength.Although he had killed and wounded many troops of the Jing State in the Battle of Julu before, the densely populated Jing State in the south had a large number of soldiers, which did not hurt his fundamentals.

Although the Jing army is standing still, once it launches an offensive, it will be a thunderbolt. Fighting on two fronts at the same time will be very detrimental to Chu.What is even more worrying is that if the method that can suddenly increase the combat effectiveness of the army is also spread to Jing, even if it can only be improved for a while, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Qizou Your Majesty, please go to Jing Country to delay time."

Hearing Ji Kongqing's words, Jing Mingrui suddenly opened his eyes wide.His heart was churning, he didn't know whether it was surprise or annoyance, he wished he could grab the eloquent person in front of him and ask him clearly.

What on earth is Xiao Fenghuang thinking in his heart? Does he really want to separate from me that much?

Even if only temporarily!

"For today's plan, each breakthrough is the best strategy. Even if Da Chu has the strength to support the two-front battle, he will still suffer a lot of losses. It is better to stabilize Jing country first and make them temporarily unable to move. I have one This plan can make the state of Jing turbulent, and I implore Your Majesty for your permission."

Jing Mingrui laughed back angrily: "Oh? Why didn't I know that His Royal Highness King Bai of Chu went to Jing Kingdom in person, besides increasing Ji Xi's bargaining chips, there are other benefits?"

There was already a hint of irony in this sentence, so Jing Mingrui regretted it as soon as he said it.It can be said that he has been well versed in strategizing in his life, but when facing this person alone, all his rationality has been thrown away, and he only thinks about his safety.

Even if it is for Little Phoenix to finally give up the great cause of the world, I guess I am willing... Jing Mingrui couldn't help showing a wry smile.

Ji Kongqing smiled and said: "Your Majesty, have you ever seen me do something that I'm not sure about? Besides... Ji Xi still owes me a personal grievance, and I have to ask him for it in person. I implore Your Majesty's permission!"

How not?Could it be that you were sure when you ran to Yue country alone?

Jing Mingrui really wanted to use thousands of excuses to reject Ji Kongqing's request, but Ji Kongqing had already brought up his personal grievances as a reason. If he publicly denied his proposal, it would be easy to refute his face, and it would even give people a double king. Discord impression.

With a long sigh, Jing Mingrui said in a deep voice: "Let's discuss this matter privately, and deal with the rest as we said earlier!"

"According to the order!"

After a while, there were only two people left in the huge palace.

Jing Mingrui looked at Ji Kongqing, his eyes could not help showing a bit of sadness: "You..."

"I don't care about the grievances that he hurt me, but he sent people to hurt you again and again, and I must get back the debt from him personally!" Ji Kongqing said with a determined face, "Ming Rui, do you know that we were arrested at the time? Muruo led people to kidnap, when you were tortured in front of me, did I feel much pain in my heart? If you didn't wake me up with the power of induction, I would almost go crazy! Do you know, Aquan told me your When the news of my death was announced, did I already have the idea of ​​going with you? But I told myself, I can’t go with you yet, I want to get back this blood debt for you!”

Jing Mingrui has never seen Ji Kongqing yelling in such an excited voice. He is always gentle and peaceful in front of him. Even if he is bullied by him, he always laughs it off after a moment of embarrassment.

Looking at the glint in the eyes of his beloved, Jing Mingrui couldn't say any more words of persuasion, so he could only quietly hold Ji Kongqing close to his chest.

"I heard Ah Quan talk about the time when you were almost killed by the backlash of the contract. I really hated myself. How could I... How could I... You know, the last thing I want to hurt in my life is you Ah!" Ji Kongqing wailed, "Mingrui, Mingrui, Mingrui...you are the most important person in my heart. Even though I never thought of becoming a lover with you before, you have always been The most important one in my heart. I wish I could have suffered for you when I knew it, but I can't do it at all! If you want me to hate myself less, please at least give me a chance, give me a A chance to avenge you! How about it, Ming Rui?"

Jing Mingrui gently patted Ji Kongqing's back to stabilize his mood.

He knew that the backlash at that time had already become a thorn in Ji Kongqing's heart, if it wasn't removed as soon as possible, the love between them would deteriorate sooner or later because other feelings were mixed in.

He really wanted to say that Ji Kongqing didn't have much responsibility for this matter.

He was born different from ordinary people. Although he had already fallen in love with Ji Kongqing at that time, he never would have thought of it, let alone a 12-year-old child in his heart.I had been reluctant to tell him the truth of the contract at the beginning, but in fact, I also didn't want to use it as a threat.It's a pity that by mistake, they finally let them miss the whole four years.

But he also knew that such an explanation would not be of any comfort to Ji Kongqing.

Although Ji Kongqing seems gentle, he has a strong and stubborn personality since he was a child, and the people and things he believes will not change easily.What's more, it was even more impossible for him to forgive himself because he looked too much at this feeling.

A smile appeared on the corner of Jing Mingrui's mouth, even he loved this guy's stubbornness to the bottom of his heart.

"Are you sure?"

Ji Kongqing was slightly taken aback, before smiling, "Don't worry, even if I can't pull Ji Xi from the throne this time, I can at least make Jing Kingdom's court turbulent for a few months."

"Just because he poisoned the first emperor of Jing Kingdom?" Jing Mingrui asked with some disapproval.

"No, I have other support." Ji Kongqing shook his head, put his lips on the corner of Jing Mingrui's mouth and pecked lightly, "Don't worry, I have the confidence to go, and naturally I am sure to come!"

"Well, I will quickly settle the matter in the north and join you. Be careful!" Jing Mingrui thought for a while and added, "You'd better pay attention to whether there is anything sent to Wei Guo Jing Country. I will say hello to Ah Quan, and the masters in Tingfeng Building and all the forces in Jing Country can cooperate with your actions."

Ji Kongqing nodded in agreement one by one, and then whispered in Jing Mingrui's ear: "Tonight, is there anything else I can do to share your majesty's worries?"

"...!" Jing Mingrui glared at him, and finally took Ji Kongqing's hand and smirked, "His Royal Highness, would you like to accompany me to drink and enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden tonight?"

"Follow His Majesty's will!"
