Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 221 Prevention
Will "Wise and Handsome" Chen Lin really be unable to escape from seclusion?
Lu Hao shook his head, the answer was no.

"why?"

Dugu Feng said in confusion.

"Because he is the 'wise commander' Chen Lin, because he is the military god of the empire, and because he has never taken Liu Mu seriously."

Lu Hao gave three answers.

"However, Chen Lin's current army does not have an advantage at all. If there is no Hangu Pass to hold on, it will be difficult to stop Liu Mu's army."

Dugu Feng still didn't believe that Chen Lin would give up the natural danger.

"Because of this, Chen Lin will show his strong side to the world."

Lu Hao said in a deep voice.

"Tough side? What do you mean?"

Dugu Feng was still puzzled.

"Chen Lin will defeat more with less, proving once again that he is the true god of war!"

Lu Hao's eyes were like torches and his wisdom was like the sea.

Chen Lin is a proud and arrogant person. He definitely does not bother to stick to Hangu Pass, but will go east to Hangu Pass and start a war with Liu Mu in the Central Plains.

Liu Mu believed that his troops were stronger than his opponents, so naturally he would not show weakness, and the elite division he led was the top combat power of the Beifu soldiers.

Going east from Hangu Pass will be the largest Qianzhong Plain in the Qianyuan Continent, comparable to the Qiwu Prairie in the north.

This kind of large plain is just suitable for large army operations, and it is also a good place to show the strength of a military general.

Lu Haocai didn't want to care about the life and death of these two old guys, but was worried that once the two fought, the major tribes in the north would definitely take the opportunity to go south.

Although there are still more than 20 troops stationed in Yanjing City, once Liu Mu is defeated, he will definitely mobilize these troops, and then there will be trouble.

To the north of Yanjing City are the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, which is densely covered with mountains. It is also the northern barrier of Yanjing City. It is also the buffer zone between the Dayan Empire and the herdsman tribes outside the Great Wall.

Liu Mu built a line of fortifications along the Yanjing front line and built three war fortresses.

In the middle is Yanjing City, to the east is Jinzhou City, and to the west is Wangchuan City.

Fortunately, after the fall of Yanjing City, there is still a long strategic depth of more than 500 kilometers, but the people along the way will definitely suffer.

Lu Hao is feeling a lot of pressure now, and he doesn't know how well Xuanyuan Lingyu has trained the new army?

It seems that forging iron requires oneself to be strong. If one does not have the strength, he may not even be able to defend the imperial capital, so how can he talk about trying to dominate the world?

"Master Wu, send people to sneak into the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun and pay close attention to the movements of the major tribes in the north. If they go south, the intelligence will be sent to the garrison generals of Yanjing City, Jinzhou City and Wangchuan City."

Lu Hao ordered in a deep voice.

"Prime Minister, do you think the northern tribes will take action?"

Zhang Zhongwei said doubtfully.

"Ever since Beiyuan King Liu Mu took control of Yanjing City, the northern tribes have not launched a large-scale war for 30 years. They should not attack us casually, right?"

Dugu Feng also echoed.

"If Liu Mu is defeated, they will definitely take the opportunity to go south and sweep across the Central Plains. If Liu Mu wins, they will also take advantage of Liu Mu's vitality to go south to the Central Plains. Therefore, pay attention to their movements and take precautions before they happen."

Lu Hao explained calmly.

In fact, he came to the conclusion after comprehensive analysis of the information he obtained from Gongsun Meng.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, my subordinates have sent secret spies to infiltrate the major tribes in the north to strengthen intelligence penetration. I hope to gain something."

Master Wu said.

"Recently, many secret spies have appeared in the imperial capital. Mr. Wu should work harder and keep them under surveillance. If the personnel deployment is not enough, the Ministry of War will issue a document and dispatch them to the city defense camp."

"In addition, the Ministry of Accounts will give an additional 500 million taels of silver to the Supervision Department to use for the intelligence purchase expenses of secret spies. No matter what method is used, accurate intelligence must be obtained."

Lu Hao looked at Dugu Feng, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Tang Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

The two immediately took the order in unison.

"How's the situation with the official department?"

Lu Hao turned to look at Xu Liting, the Minister of Civil Affairs.

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, preparations have been made for the imperial examination. There are a large number of applicants from the empire students. The examination is divided into civil and military examinations and will be held soon." Xu Liting immediately stepped forward and responded.

"The civil and military examinations are a channel for the empire to select talents. They must not be groomsmen, let alone engage in malpractice for personal gain. Once discovered, they will be executed without mercy!"

Lu Hao warned coldly.

"Wei Chen understands!"

Xu Liting broke out in a cold sweat.

"What's the news from Xixia Kingdom?"

Lu Hao looked at Wu Qingyu.

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, the Xixia Kingdom promised to return two-thirds of the cities and territories of the two countries, but the Great Yan Empire needs to participate in the peace negotiation."

Wu Qingyu said.

"Tell Xixia that the Great Yan Empire will send envoys to join the negotiations among the three countries, and advise them not to be cautious, otherwise the empire will definitely come to the city."

Lu Hao's attitude was very tough.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, the negotiations will take place in half a month. I don't know who to send to participate in the peace talks? I would like to arrange personnel for protection."

Wu Qingyu asked.

"This person who participated in the peace talks... what do you think about sending Concubine De and Concubine Shu?"

Lu Hao frowned, thought for a while, and asked.

"The Kingdom of Jin and the Kingdom of Shu are the home countries of Concubine De and Concubine Shu. If we let them go, our attitude will be tougher. We just need to arrange a capable deputy for them."

Du Ze, the Minister of Rites, responded.

"Master Du, you will be the one to choose the deputy. As for Concubine De and Concubine Shu, I will ask them for their opinions. If they are unwilling, we will arrange someone else."

Lu Hao nodded slightly and thought it would be better to consult the two empresses for their opinions.

It's a long journey to Xixia Kingdom, thousands of miles away, but I don't know if they are willing to do it?

At this moment, a loud voice came from outside.

"Emergency military situation! Urgent military situation..."

Everyone was suddenly shocked and looked at each other, not knowing what happened.

A fast horse galloped over and entered the military aircraft without any hindrance.

A messenger carrying a red command arrow dismounted from his horse and knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, General Zhengdong has sent urgent military information."

Lu Hao strode forward and took over the urgent military information sent.

As soon as the messenger handed the sealed top-secret mailbox to Lu Hao, he fainted and fell to the ground.

"Hurry up and save people!"

Lu Hao ordered loudly.

Several palace maids quickly carried the messenger away and notified the imperial doctor for emergency treatment.

Lu Hao slowly unfolded the secret message, his expression getting more and more ugly.

The other ministers saw that his expression was so bad, and they immediately felt something bad.

"Master Xiang, what's the matter?"

Dugufeng asked.

"The emperor's brother Murong Hong was ambushed by the Eastern Turks. His whereabouts and fate are unknown. The [-] troops he led suffered heavy casualties..."

Lu Hao handed the secret letter to Dugu Feng.

Several ministers passed it around one after another, and their expressions suddenly darkened.

Liaoyang City in the northeast, the Dayan Empire's bridgehead against the Eastern Turks, also fell into the hands of the Eastern Turks Juli Khan.

Isn't the East Turks falling into civil strife?
How could Liaoyang City be captured suddenly?
