Chapter 373 His Majesty the Emperor issued an order, General Yang Feilong!
Jinling City, the Emperor's bedroom.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Good news! Great news!"
Ling'er's delicate cheeks were flushed and her eyes were shining. She had just received news from the King of Zhenguo that the Qingyuan Dynasty had been attacked at Jiayun Pass in just a few days. She was extremely excited. She had been following the Emperor for so many years, and she had always received news about other dynasties invading the Song Dynasty.
Every time such news reached His Majesty's ears, His Majesty would be worried, but helpless. Unexpectedly, after so many years, the situation has completely reversed, and the Song Dynasty can actually kill outside the capitals of other dynasties. She inquired about the accuracy of this news from many sources, and after knowing that it was true and credible, she was filled with excitement and wanted to come and report to Zhao Qiuyan, so that His Majesty the Emperor could also be happy.
Zhao Qiuyan was sitting in her bedroom, still cross-legged practicing. When she heard Ling'er's voice coming from outside, she opened her eyes, and a majestic aura naturally emanated from her.
Hearing Ling'er's excited voice and the three words "good news", a smile appeared on his face, and the first thing he thought of was: "Could it be that Ye Feng guy, returning from Nanyu County?"
Thinking of this, she quickly stood up, walked to the dressing mirror not far away, carefully tidied her hair, and then cleaned her clothes.
creak!
She pushed open the door of the bedroom and looked at Ling'er running outside breathlessly. She became more and more certain of her inner guess. The best good news for her was that the guy was back.
"What good news? Is the King of Zhenguo back?" Zhao Qiuyan blurted out the words when she saw Ling'er, making Ling'er outside a little confused. Then she said with a playful look on her face, "Your Majesty really wants the King of Zhenguo to come back as soon as possible. He really misses you like a tide!"
Zhao Qiuyan was teased by Ling'er and found herself a little anxious. Her face flushed and she pretended to be angry: "How dare you tease me, little girl? What good news do you have? Tell me quickly!"
"Your Majesty, I have just received accurate news. Seven days ago, the Lord of Zhenguo led his troops from Nanyu County, followed Yuling County, and went straight to the capital of the Qingyuan Dynasty. Now he has attacked Jiayun Pass." Ling'er did not continue to tease Zhao Qiuyan, and said excitedly.
"What? Didn't the Qingyuan Dynasty take advantage of the situation and seize our Yuling County?" The news Zhao Qiuyan received a few days ago was that the Qingyuan Dynasty took advantage of the situation and seized Yuling County. Only a few days have passed, how come the King of Zhenguo, Ye Feng, has already reached Jiayun Pass of the Qingyuan Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, you don't know. After much inquiry, I learned that the Lord Zhenguo knew that the Qingyuan Dynasty took advantage of the situation, and in a rage, he led an army of more than 100,000 and set out overnight. He rode non-stop and won victory after victory. He captured six cities and 18 counties of the Qingyuan Dynasty. Now, he is only separated from the Qingyuan Dynasty's capital, Yehe City, by Wufeng City." Ling'er knew it very well. She had learned a few days ago that the Qingyuan Dynasty took advantage of the situation and came to report to Zhao Qiuyan.
"This guy is so fierce? Why did he lead a large army to charge into the Qingyuan Dynasty? Doesn't he know that it is dangerous to go deep into the enemy's territory alone?"
Zhao Qiuyan's face was not excited. Although she didn't know how to march and fight, she knew that such a war against an imperial dynasty would require a lot of preparation. Otherwise, if she was not careful, the whole army would be wiped out. She was worried in her heart. If anything unexpected happened to Ye Feng, where would she find such a wise minister?
"I think you are just worried and confused. When a king goes to war, he must be confident and there is no possibility of danger." Ling'er's face was full of admiration when she spoke. She now admired Ye Feng so much that she thought there was no problem with anything Ye Feng did, and it was completely brainless.
"Ling'er, go and tell the Minister of War, Lord Yu, that I have ordered you to ensure the safety of the King at all costs. Otherwise, I will only hold him responsible!"
Despite Ling'er's words, Zhao Qiuyan was still very worried. It was not a simple attack on a city or a county, but an attack on an entire dynasty.
"As ordered!"
Ling'er covered her mouth with a smile on her face, and without wasting any time, she walked towards the court.
She had just arrived at the court and it was time for the morning court session.
Yue Teng and others also received the news that Ye Feng was leading an army of 100,000 to attack Jiayun Pass of the Qingyuan Dynasty. They looked shocked, but also excited.
The Song Dynasty has more than 300,000 troops recently, and has never attacked other countries except those attacked by others. Now they know that Ye Feng led the army and won victory after victory. In just a few days, they reached Jiayun Pass of the Qingyuan Dynasty. Everyone feels their blood boiling and they can't wait to follow Ye Feng to the battlefield.
Li Linpu and the others had gloomy faces. They had previously received news that the Qingyuan Dynasty had invaded Yulin County, and they had been constantly sneering and mocking, thinking that it was all Ye Feng's fault. They all wanted the Qingyuan Dynasty to suppress Ye Feng.
However, he did not expect that in just a few days, Ye Feng successfully turned the tables and led a large army, advancing deep into the enemy's territory alone, yet was able to be invincible and reach the outskirts of the capital of the Qingyuan Dynasty. It was truly incredible.
"Convey His Majesty's order!"
Ling'er went straight to the court and a clear voice rang out. All the civil and military officials in the court, including Li Linpu, were completely stunned.
They all knew that since Zhao Qiuyan became emperor, except for the day he ascended the throne at a very young age, he had never conveyed an imperial edict and never asked about state affairs.
Now, he actually came to convey the order.
"I'll wait for the order!"
When all the ministers reacted, except for General Yue Teng and Prime Minister Li Linpu, all the other officials knelt on the ground, not understanding what Zhao Qiuyan was up to.
"Your Majesty has ordered the Minister of War, Yu Shouren, to ensure the safety of the King at all costs. Otherwise, you will be held accountable!"
Ling'er conveyed Zhao Qiuyan's order and turned around to walk out of the court.
"Master Yu, you have a heavy responsibility!"
Seeing Ling'er leave, officials such as Xue Gui and Hai Ming all looked at Yu Shouren jokingly. The fact that the emperor had issued an unprecedented decree was enough to show the status of the Zhenguojun in the emperor's heart. Many people couldn't help but look a little strange, thinking in their hearts: "Your Majesty has made such an exception. Could he fall in love with the Zhenguojun?"
Now Ye Feng is leading a large army and has gone deep into Jiayun Pass alone. Even if Yu Shouren wants to support him, it may be too late for him to arrive in a short while. As the saying goes, distant water cannot put out a nearby fire.
“I feel like I can’t carry it!”
Yu Shouren was helpless. He, the Minister of War, had only recently received the news of the attack on the Qingyuan Dynasty. However, when he received the news, the State King had already taken Jiayun Pass. Even if he wanted to help, it seemed that it would not be of much use. Now that His Majesty has issued an order, he can only pray that the State King Ye Feng will not be in any danger. Otherwise, he, the Minister of War and the Minister of Personnel, will suffer.
……
Qingyuan Dynasty, Yehe City, in the court.
Pei Yuanji sat on the dragon throne, his eyes fell on a gray-haired general wearing armor on his left. He was Yang Feilong, the Flying Dragon General of the Qingyuan Dynasty. In the Qingyuan Dynasty, he could be ranked among the top three in terms of marching and fighting.
"General Feilong, if I order you to lead the army and repel the enemy, are you sure you can do it?"
Pei Yuanji's voice sounded, and everyone looked at Yang Feilong.
