My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 462

The queen's soft fingers gently stroked the blade, feeling the cold air on the blade and her eyes narrowed slightly. It turned out that the horizontal blade was more powerful than what was described in the secret report.

Swinging the knife into the sheath, she returned the horizontal knife to Qin Yi with some reluctance, and the queen flicked Qin Yi's plate armor again, feeling even more surprised by the rebound on the plate armor.

The rebound of such toughness shows that the lightness and strength of the plate armor are the best choice, which is comparable to the chain armor that has been tempered for thousands of years.

And judging by its appearance, it can protect the soldiers' bodies better than chain mail.

The empress looked enviously at the light horizontal knives and gleaming plate armor in the hands of the twenty bodyguards, and inexplicably glanced at First Young Master Liu at the side, only she knew what she was thinking.

Liu Mingzhi was looking around, when he suddenly saw thick smoke billowing somewhere in the south of the city, straight into the sky, he didn't know why.

Bending down to look at the map, comparing the approximate location, it seems to understand something.

The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first. According to the time when the drums are beating and the generals are gathered in the capital, the rebel army is not far away. In this way, this position is probably the position of the rebel food and grass army.

The thick smoke soaring into the sky can only explain one thing, the food and grass of the traitors have been burned.

The food and grass of the 40 army, it is not surprising to create such a formation.

The empress, who had been observing First Young Master Liu, saw that he was suddenly looking in one direction without moving, so she also followed the trend, and her face was happy when she saw the billowing smoke.

"Successful!"

Compared to Empress Liu Mingzhi, who knew the reason for this situation better, Yeluhu and Jin Kezhengbing made a dangerous move and succeeded.

The Queen's expression can be said to be full of joy. Without food and grass, it means that the morale of the rebels will be in chaos, and they may be destroyed by then.

The capital is worry-free.

Song Qing walked up to Young Master Liu: "Third Brother, His Majesty the Golden Emperor is really courageous enough to take the initiative to attack the 40 troops to sneak attack on the food and grass of the rebels. Maybe we don't need our troops in this war." The army and the Turkic reinforcements will win without a fight."

Liu Mingzhi frowned tightly, looking in the direction of the thick smoke with a hint of panic in his eyes.

"Brother, it's over. Not only will it not be easy this time, but it will be unprecedentedly severe."

"Third brother, are you saying the wrong thing? An army without food and grass will definitely lose its footing. What's the matter with the serious situation?"

Liu Mingzhi swallowed his saliva: "What will happen to the 40 victims who have no food?"

"Crowds gathered to make trouble, and civil unrest broke out everywhere. During the drought in Qingzhou, my eldest brother followed your uncle to relieve 23 victims. If it wasn't for strong suppression, it would definitely hit the disaster relief camp. Even so, your uncle almost panicked."

"That's right, the disaster victims are still like this. Do you know what will happen to the 40 well-armored and undefeated army without food? It will overturn the capital, regardless of all costs, put it to death and survive, and attack the city frantically."

Song Qing thought for a while and thought of the terrible possibility: "You mean you shouldn't burn the food and grass of the rebels?"

"It's not that they shouldn't be burned, but that they shouldn't all be burned. Only by giving them a chance will they curb their desires. Now they can only pray that the rebels will have a few days left of food and grass."

"Do you want to tell the Golden Emperor about this?"

He gave Song Qing an angry look, isn't this nonsense.

Without hesitation, Liu Mingzhi walked towards the queen who was looking at the map: "Your Majesty, there is something that I want to report to you."

The queen didn't raise her head: "Lord Liu, it's okay to say."

Liu Mingzhi did not procrastinate, and simply and clearly explained the matter to the Empress.

The queen heard Young Master Liu's worry, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, obviously thinking of the negative impact of the matter.

As First Young Master Liu said, the rebel army hadn't fought against the defenders of the capital city yet, and they were not defeated. If they burned the rebel army's food and grass when their morale was unstable, it would naturally cause their army's morale to be in turmoil.

But before the city was attacked, there was no food and grass. Not only would it not disturb the morale of the rebel army, but it would make them fierce and attack the city regardless of the cost.

Even if the food and grass are gone, there will be a period of panic, but as long as the commander calms down a little, these rebels who do not fight or perish will desperately attack the city.

In this way, not only will they not delay their offensive, but it will speed up their siege.

Without him, just because there is food in the capital, they will have food if they capture the city.

The queen naturally figured out the key point, and she couldn't help but look a little flustered. She didn't expect that her self-righteous trick would be self-defeating.

"Master Liu, you wait here, I'm going to discuss this matter with all the ministers."

"Your Majesty, wait a minute."

"What's the matter, Master Liu?"

"Bangchen wants to ask His Majesty for a token to leave the city."

The empress was taken aback, and looked at First Young Master Liu hesitantly: "Master Liu is going to take Dalong's mission out of the city?"

"Of course not. The Empress can rest assured that Bangchen will not leave. The official road leading to Dalong must have been occupied by rebels. Bangchen is afraid that those rebels will do something crazy."

"Since this is the case, what is the use of Master Liu's token to leave the city?"

"Naturally, it is to help His Majesty defend the city. The safety of the state ministers' mission is already tied to the Kingdom of Jin, so it is natural to contribute a little bit."

The empress looked carefully at Liu Mingzhi's eyes, seeing that his eyes were fixed and his expression remained unchanged, she took off a token from her waist and handed it to Young Master Liu after thinking for a moment: "This is my waist token, seeing the order is like seeing the king. "

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty, please."

The queen turned her head back and rushed towards the east gate, and the ministers of the Kingdom of Jin were all arranging various matters at the east gate.

"Third Brother, with the token of the Golden Emperor, we don't need to wait here to die, we just go out of the city and return home."

Song Qing looked at First Young Master Liu with a serious expression.

Liu Mingzhi shook his head: "No, it's not an exaggeration to say that the rebels without food and grass are insane. If we are treated as spies, the 2000 people will confess. There is still a way out for defending the city. This is the safest arrangement. , you can’t use 2000 people’s wealth and lives to test the humanity of Jin’s rebels.”

"However, even with the addition of 500 soldiers from our mission, it's still a drop in the bucket for a 40-strong army, and it won't even make waves in the battlefield."

"There is no way, now we can only pray that the reinforcements from the Kingdom of Jin will arrive in time, otherwise we will be doomed."

"Third brother, why don't you take a hot air balloon and leave. You are the commander-in-chief. No matter what, you can't have any accidents. Otherwise, the elder brother will have no way to explain to His Majesty or uncle."

"I'm leaving, where are you guys? Brother, although Liu Mingzhi cherishes his life, he is not a ruthless person, and he cannot do the thing of leaving two thousand brothers and fleeing alone."

"But, you still shoulder the burden"

"No, but, big brother, do you still remember what you said to Ling Yang when I was seven years old? Brothers share blessings and difficulties together."

Song Qing stared blankly, his eyes flushed, and he looked at Liu Mingzhi with a firm expression in front of him with a faint smile and stretched out his palm.

"Brothers work together to break the gold, do not seek to go together, but seek to return together."

Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and stretched out his palm and clasped it tightly with Song Qing.

"A man is a big man, with the sky above his head and his feet on the thick soil, righteousness is more important than life and death."
