The Ugly Empress by Yun Guo Shi Fei / 丑娘娘 by 云

Chapter 75, vol 2 Chapter 29: Expedition

Emperor Feng sent troops to fight the Xue army by Qi Zi Jie.

Zhao Lu's men and horses, as the first line of attack, naturally fought with Qi Zi Jie's men and horses for the first time.

Zhao Lu sent soldiers to guard the hill while sending the main force to intercept the enemy through the Shui River.

The Shui River is the border between Xue and Feng. Both sides know that as long as they pass the Shui River, they have already won the majority, so they can't let the other person cross the water naturally.

During the Imperial court session, Xue Jun Liang asked people to read the battle book from Emperor Feng, saying that Xue Chang Jing insulted the princess. Xue Jun Liang took this opportunity to order Xue Chang Jing to be arrested, his title to be removed and his military power to be confiscated.

Xue Jun Liang became the next book to seal Four Tiger Generals, respectively in charge of Zheng'an's soldiers and horses.

Because the water in the lower reaches of the Shui River is shallow, it was equal to land war, this place, no matter the Feng state or the Xue state, must pass here no matter whether it's fighting first or later. Xue Jun Liang has named the hill guarded by Zhao Lu, which is called the Gazing river slope.

Teng Xin and the He Family’s three brothers set off for Zheng'an to collect the power. They are nomads born in their own country and can't fight in water. Different from Teng Xin, Tengnan is located in a place with plenty of water. Teng Xin fought on water like it was a flat ground. Although it's a little late to train the naval army, it's better than not.

When the naval army is mature, it will form horns with Zhao Lu's horse and attack the enemy from both sides, which will surely make the  Feng army escape.

When people see that Emperor Xue has calculated everything, first the right to recall troops and then to confer the four general titles, they dare not say anything. Obviously, Xue Jun Liang has already planned this.

Xue Jun Liang said, “You say, who should Zhen send to support the Shui River?"

The first idea of the Imperial court official is Teng Yun, but no one dares to put it forward. After all, Teng Yun is not the same as before. Now the Imperial concubine is in charge of the Phoenix Seal, and he and Emperor Xue share the same control. They are also a couple. How can they go to war?

Some people who despise Teng Yun think that the Marquis of Tengnan has been favored by Emperor Xue for such a long time. They don't know how to fight him. If they let him go to the front line, they will surely lose the Xue state.

In fact, Xue Jun Liang didn’t want Teng Yun to go. After all, fighting is a test of life and death. If you are not careful, you will never return. There are few generals who died on the battlefield. How many people can pick up pieces of their bodies when they die?

So Xue Jun Liang wanted to ask everyone's opinions, but no one spoke, Xue Jun Liang said: "No one has an idea? Let's talk about how to fight this war first Lang Jing, you are always resourceful. How do you say to fight?"

Lang Jing was named and stood out half a step, then said: “In the opinion of the Imperial court official, as long as we keep the Shui River and then cross Shui Qi, we will be able to defeat the Feng state."

“Oh? The Shui River is just a small boundary, how can it have such a big effect?"

Lang Jing said: “His majesty is the top of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. There is nothing in the Xue state. If you take the Shui River, it will be like a dragon entering the river. Isn't it handy? When the time comes, you will be satisfied with the people's different ideas, and you will not break through by yourself."
