Blue Yuan Yi's face was full of the vicissitudes of life. Although he had experienced exile and suffering, he was still magnificent and awe-inspiring.
His face was full of entanglement and pain at the moment. In Sheng Jiang Li's expectant eyes, he said in a deep voice:
"You either don't recognize me as your adoptive father, or you just listen to me and detoxify first!"
He would think of another way to solve Shu Er's matter.
But the only bloodline of his brother in the world must not have an accident!
"Adoptive father!" Sheng Jiang Li's pupils were almost bleeding. His handsome face was full of despair. His thin lips were slightly open, but he couldn't make a sound.
He dared not refute the kindness of his adoptive father to him.
But he couldn't let Shu Er fall into danger.
He didn't have much chance of winning the battle with Song Ying Huai. What if he couldn't get the other antidote?
"Okay! People say that Marquis Yong Chang is a great man. Today, I really see it." Lu Bai Wei hooked her lips and motioned for Aunt Mei to take the real antidote to Sheng Jiang Li.
It was so good.
The people of the Blue family had all submitted to her.
She didn't worry about Sheng Jiang Li not listening to her.
Blue Guang Ling urged with a solemn face: "A Li, take the antidote first."
Sheng Jiang Li tightened the antidote in his hand.
Suddenly.
He pulled out the scimitar in his hand.
Blue Guang Ling was surprised and immediately stepped forward. But Sheng Jiang Li put the scimitar on his neck.
"A Li! What are you doing?" Blue Guang Ling shouted, "Put it down quickly!"
"Adoptive father, A Li has always been disobedient, and this time is the same." Sheng Jiang Li's face was calm. "I want to leave the antidote for Shu Er. Otherwise, I will commit suicide here first!"
"If I die, the Empress can also stop the Yan army from continuing to go south with the ability of her father and brother."
"You..." Blue Yuan Yi looked at him in shock, and his expression was moved.
He always knew that this kid liked Shu Er, but he didn't expect him to be so stubborn.
He had a sense of contradiction that he hated iron for not becoming steel, but he was also very gratified.
The sudden change made everyone present focus on Blue Yuan Yi.
The young emperor said nothing. At this moment, he finally realized his incompetence and ignorance.
He knew nothing about the country and society, power struggle, and intrigue.
Blue Yuan Yi looked at Sheng Jiang Li with a solemn face. The palace lantern reflected on his vicissitudinous and firm face, showing a trace of softness.
Finally, Blue Yuan Yi still closed his eyes and waved his hand. "... Forget it. You always have your own ideas. At that time, I couldn't stop you from leaving the Blue family. Now you want to save Shu Er first. I still can't change your mind. You decide for yourself!"
Sheng Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief and put away the knife. "Thank you, adoptive father."
The young emperor looked at this scene in shock and didn't come back to his senses from beginning to end.
Lu Bai Wei said: "General Sheng, the antidote can be given to Qing Qing who is guarding outside the door. Let her take it to Cai Yu quietly... Now the capital is in crisis. The Empress and the Emperor urgently need you to come up with ideas."
Qing Qing walked in from outside the door.
She was one year older, and she looked like a young girl next door who had just grown up.
She had lost her childish look, and there was a trace of brightness on her face.
There was a cloud of sorrow on her face. She looked at Sheng Jiang Li and wanted to say something but stopped.
Brother Sheng, you love Sister Cai Yu so much.
You love her so much that you would rather die than let her live well.
Sheng Jiang Li chose to ignore that hot look. He only gave the antidote in his hand to Qing Qing, and then didn't look at her again. He only turned to look at Lu Bai Wei and others and said:
"Princess Nan An and Second Master Xu have all withdrawn to Peng Cheng. I think Peng Cheng will soon fall. I speculate that the princess will take action in Peng Cheng to rob people. With the useless soldiers of the Southern Army, it will be easy for the Xu family to rob people... Your Majesty, Empress, I don't think you can wait for the King of Yan to be escorted into the capital."
Song Ying Huai's chess game was really risky. Even Sheng Jiang Li didn't understand it until Xu Bu Yue chased him close to Peng Cheng.
The Yan army had besieged Ji Zhou for a long time but couldn't attack it. Seeing that 200,000 Southern Army reinforcements had arrived outside Ji Zhou City, they were facing an attack from both sides, which was unfavorable to the Yan army.
If Song Ying Huai wanted to attack the city by force, not only would there be heavy casualties, but they also had Cai Yu as a bargaining chip to restrict his actions.
In order to get Cai Yu back and break the deadlock of attacking the city, Song Ying Huai entered the game alone.
The wedding was successfully destroyed by him, and he and Li Mu Ge also withdrew with the army, leaving only a group of scattered soldiers without any rules and fighting spirit.
As long as Tan Xiong and others withdrew to Yan Jing to reorganize the army, delay time, and create firearms, they could easily capture Ji Zhou.
Sheng Jiang Li sneered in his heart.
After all, he was one step behind him in chess.
Although he was cruel, he was not as cruel as Song Ying Huai. If someone else had worn that lute bone instead of Li Mu Ge, he would have really become a useless person.
How could he dare to use such cruelty to exchange for Cai Yu's pity?
Sheng Jiang Li's Adam's apple moved slightly. "At this moment, if the Southern Army wants to counterattack Peng Cheng, it will be very difficult. It is better to withdraw all waterways and ports on the Yangtze River and blow up the bridges to make them unable to cross the river."
"The Yan army is not good at water battles either. They have always been cavalrymen. They have no boats to cross the river. Even if they temporarily requisition boats, they have to wait until this winter. Your Majesty can temporarily defend half of the country by relying on the natural danger."
The young emperor didn't understand at all, but just nodded vigorously. "Then, who will defend the Yangtze River? Is General Wu Wei suitable?"
General Wu Wei, Cui Xin, was the highest general of the Five City Military Command. When he was young, he had also led the army to fight against the Hu cavalry for many years. He was also an old general. At the same time, he was also the first master that Song Ying Huai had worshiped when he joined the army.
It was really suitable to say so.
"Your Majesty, my son will defend." Blue Yuan Yi said, "Although General Cui has a high prestige, he is old after all. He may not be able to do well in water battles. It is better to let my son go. He was exiled in Hainan for four years and has already studied water battles quite a lot."
"I think what the Marquis said is reasonable." Lu Bai Wei was just as she wished.
Blue Guang Ling faced Xuan Yao, and he could subdue the enemy without fighting.
And the Southern Army had just surrendered more than 300,000 troops, and they had lost more than 200,000 troops. They were already short of manpower.
Only by winning with the least amount of troops could they have a chance to defend the country.
Sheng Jiang Li said again: "The thirteen city gates of the capital are as solid as gold. As long as there is an old general who can command properly to guard them, it will be like adding wings to a tiger."
"To put it a step back, even if the Yan army attacks the city, as long as the defending general is not Li Mu Ge, then it can persist in a long battle. And the Yan army has traveled a long way, and their food and grass are running out. As long as they can't attack, they will retreat."
Hearing Li Mu Ge, the young emperor blushed and didn't dare to say a word.
Blue Yuan Yi said: "I request to guard the thirteen city gates of the capital to share the worries of the monarch."
The young emperor: "Yes, yes... Um, Mother, what do you think?"
Lu Bai Wei nodded. "I think it is feasible... But the method that General Sheng said is all for defense, but I need to solve the rebellion as soon as possible!"
Sheng Jiang Li frowned and looked up at her. "Empress, the Great Ye has not many troops now. They have lost battles in a row, and the morale of the army is scattered. Do you still want to attack?"
Lu Bai Wei's face was vicious. Her deep and bright eyes were shining with dark light, which set off her deep eyebrows and eyes, making her look sinister and charming:
"Naturally, no one wants to fight passively."
"Then what does the Empress want to do?"
Lu Bai Wei said: "I order you to take 30,000 Hu cavalry and set off for Qin Di. The main force of the Five Provinces Army in Xiao Ren City has all been transferred to Yan Jing. Qin Di is empty of troops. It is said that only Zhu Xiao is leading 20,000 reserve troops to guard Li City."
"General Sheng, your Hu cavalry's combat effectiveness can be comparable to that of the Yan army. The enemy is outnumbered, and it is easy to attack the city."
"Does the Empress want me to take Li City and hold back the Yan army's southward pace in the rear?"
Lu Bai Wei smiled viciously. "No, not only take Li City... I also want you to kill Zhu Xiao and disrupt the morale of the Yan army!"
Kill Zhu Xiao!
Lu Bai Wei's words made the faces of everyone present change!
