Sheng Fu

Chapter 566
The human race, the imperial capital.

The snowflakes in the north have not yet started to fall south, but the cold wind continues to invade the south one after another. In the imperial capital, no matter ordinary people or princes and nobles, they all changed into winter clothes imperceptibly.

Even Bai Xiaowei, the number one swordsman above the temple, changed into winter clothes, a gray-black jacket, and a pair of not-so-heavy cotton shoes.

In the room, the copper stove has been lit, and the heat spreads, as if it has returned to the end of summer.

Kong Chong, Minister of the Ministry of War, sat opposite Bai Xiaowei, drinking black tea. Compared with Bai Xiaowei, Kong Chong was tall and burly, more like an enemy of ten thousand people.

But Kong Chong knew that Bai Xiaowei was a majestic mountain that he could not surpass in this life.

Not to mention the world of practice, even in the temples, there are rumors everywhere that Bai Xiaowei's entry into the Wuji realm probably happened in the past few years.

Lord Shangshu looked at the prime minister in front of him suspiciously, and asked in a low voice: "The city defense officers and soldiers have changed into cotton clothes. With your master's cultivation, why should this be so?"

Bai Xiaowei was still holding the teacup in his hand, he looked down and saw that his stomach had grown up.

In recent days, Bai Xiaowei's appetite has increased a lot. The hot pot in the south of the city is really delicious. Whenever he has free time, Bai Xiaowei will go to that hot pot restaurant to have a hot pot meal.

"So, I look bloated, and I don't look like a swordsman or politician?" Bai Xiaowei asked Kong Chong indifferently.

Lord Minister of the Ministry of War suddenly felt his body tremble, and was speechless for a moment.

"My lord was joking, but I don't understand." Kong Chong said.

He was really puzzled, Bai Xiaowei is a swordsman, and he doesn't have much literary talent. He is always a bit dull on weekdays, but it is confusing, so many officials in the court don't know how to deal with Bai Xiaowei. make friends.

Bai Xiaowei put down his teacup, did not answer Kong Chong's question, and said bluntly: "The three red birds came with a letter. Our army has suffered more than [-] casualties. In the first round of contact, the two sides were evenly divided. Jiuyouque and Yue Bo did not personally Go to the field, in the open area, our cavalry is not at a disadvantage."

"What do you think will happen next?"

Kong Chong fell into deep thought. Fortunately, the copper stove had been lit, otherwise the black tea on the table would have been cold long ago.

After a long time, Kong Chong said in amazement, "It's an endless confrontation. The yellow sand desert will turn into the red sand desert."

Bai Xiaowei hummed, and said with emotion: "Yue Bo uses soldiers like a god, and so does King Zhen'an of the Spirit Race, but this time there is not much room for strategy and tactics in this battle, and it is doomed to bleed."

"Tomorrow, when you go to court, you will ask for an imperial decree to lead the army to the battlefield for support."

"There are still 300,000 troops in the territory of the human race. This time you take away 200,000, leaving only [-] to guard the imperial capital."

As the Minister of the Ministry of War, he naturally wanted to make contributions on the battlefield, but it was a pity that Kong Chong did not have much talent in marching and fighting in these years.

But this does not affect the orderly handling of the general's affairs by the Shangshu lord.

Being an official is still very good.

Kong Chong looked at Bai Xiaowei gratefully, and said in a low voice, "Will Your Majesty allow it?"

Bai Xiaowei nodded and said, "Yes."

"Actually, after you go, there is not much benefit, but the soldiers who are far above the battlefield will feel more at ease after they know that the reinforcements have arrived."

Now above the temple, the only person who can lead the army alone is probably the Lord Minister of the Ministry of War.

This lord does not have outstanding military talent, but he has an advantage that no one else has. He will not make mistakes. This point is also deeply recognized by the soldiers in the army.

Bai Xiaowei changed the subject and said: "There is one more thing, if you meet with the Hengchang army, don't cause friction, restrain your subordinates."

"The personal grievances between you and Mr. Yuwen will rot in this harsh winter."

Kong Chong's face changed slightly, and he was a little dissatisfied: "My lord is joking, I still have this bit of tolerance."

Bai Xiaowei raised his teacup again, and said: "Your tolerance and my confession are two different things."

Kong Chong: "..."

"Thank you, my lord, for your enlightenment."

Bai Xiaowei got up and went outside, the cold wind didn't howl, but it existed forever like the mist from the distant mountains.

"You should go, I don't care about food today."

After Kong Chong heard this, he bowed deeply and left the prime minister's mansion.

Soon after, Bai Xiaowei went to the palace.

In the imperial study room, Renhuang's expression was as usual, without any chaos.

Seeing Bai Xiaowei coming, Renhuang glanced at the prime minister flatly, and said casually: "Kong Chong left your mansion not long ago, and you came here, why?"

Bai Xiaowei clasped his hands together and said, "I recommend Kong Chong, and tomorrow I will lead an army of 200,000 to the north for support."

After hearing this, the Emperor was very surprised.

He has prepared reinforcements, but the person who will lead the army will not be Kong Chong, but another general who is not well-known but has won Tianxin.

"Why is it Kong Chong?" Human Sovereign asked doubtfully.

In Renhuang's memory, Bai Xiaowei and the military have always been in good company, and the relationship between them is cleaner than the face of a big girl.

Bai Xiaowei solemnly said: "We will win this battle, there is no need to send a real strong general to support."

On weekdays, this would be a scene that won the house all applause, but at the moment, it seems to be endless.

The Emperor's expression gradually became dull, and he continued to ask: "Why?"

The matter of military strategists has exceeded Bai Xiaowei's responsibility.

Bai Xiaowei said calmly: "Because Yu Wenjun will return to join the battlefield, the only variable is Yu Wenjun."

The Human Sovereign laughed silently: "Why do you trust that dragon boy so much?"

Bai Xiaowei said: "Yaozu, there is something he wants."

"A long time ago, I had such a guess. Later, Master Guoshi was not going well in the Yaoyu, and his layout was not as good as that of Yu Wenjun. I knew that my guess was correct."

"He never does superfluous things, at least for now, no one can see whether Yu Wenjun is full of deep desire for power."

"The reason why Kong Chong is recommended is because his general talent is not remarkable, and it can show my human heritage."

Sending support from a general who is popular but not good at fighting naturally just makes things more decent.

Human Sovereign was thoughtful and felt that there was some truth.

"But these reasons are far from enough." Human Sovereign said.

Bai Xiaowei said calmly: "Not long ago, the descendant of the Empress drove a white tiger to the palace. Yu Wenjun will always return this favor. Yuwen Jun is a politician, not a swordsman."

The corner of Human Sovereign's mouth turned up implicitly, and he said with a half-smile, "But does he have that kind of ability? This time the opponent is Nine Youque, an army of countless demon clans."

Bai Xiaowei said: "He personally doesn't have one, but maybe the Dragon Clan has one."

"Your Majesty has always wanted to know how much strength the Dragon Clan has left. This is an opportunity, but it will also pay a corresponding price."

What is the price, Renhuang knows in his heart, it is nothing more than sharing the spoils more, and he said truthfully: "Yes."
