Help!The US-strong villain was blackmailed by me!

Chapter 73 Shuobei Assassination
"What are you talking about? I'm the best at stealing things? It's just that I couldn't get on the stage. I can't speak," Qi Yue was caught saying bad things.

"Zi Yi, don't be led astray by your sister Qi Yue, Uncle Zhao doesn't call it stealing, it's a skill!"

Ziyi: "That's clever skill!"

Ziyi and Zhao Zhao said the last four words almost at the same time, "Uncle Zhao, I know that is a clever skill of yours, and my ears are already calloused."

"It's good to know, don't yell after your sister Qi Yue, stealing something, it's ugly!" Zhao Zhao held the injustice for himself.

Qi Yue secretly rolled his eyes, winked at Ziyi, and mouthed in a low voice, "Your Uncle Zhao loves saving face the most, don't listen, just follow me and leave him alone!"

Ziyi nodded, "Okay!"

Not long after the comfortable days, Duan Mufeng threw another assassination letter to Qi Yue. Qi Yue opened the envelope, looked at the word "Shuobei" on it, and threw the letter backhand to Duan Mufeng.

"Suobei? Do you know how far it is from Shuobei? It took me nearly a month to go from Chuanze County to Qingyun County in the northwest last time. Now you let me go from the southwest to the farthest Shuobei. Not Shuobei! You go with someone else, I won't go."

"You have to go to Shuobei this time." Duan Mufeng picked up the letter on the ground and patted it on the table again, "You have to go, no one else can."

Qi Yue didn't understand, "Why? Can't you kill so many dead men under you?"

Duan Mufeng: "The person who was assassinated this time was a well-known general on the border of Shuobei. The capable general under Zhenbeihou is no small matter. It is not at the same level as the magistrates and county magistrates you have assassinated in the past, and no one else can do it." Here, only you."

"General?" This is indeed the biggest officer Qi Yue has encountered since becoming a killer.

"That's right, you are the most perfect sword I have ever created, and only you have the ability to fight against it. This assassination has a lot to do with it. You are only allowed to succeed and not to fail! Do you hear that?" Duan Mufeng said sternly.

Qi Yue told the truth, "I can't guarantee success. He is a battle-tested general, not a literati with no strength."

"You have to guarantee it if you can't guarantee it!" Duan Mufeng's attitude was extremely tough, "If you can't succeed, then you don't even want to get the antidote next time!"

Qi Yue stared at him coldly, angry in her heart, she didn't reply, but took the assassination letter on the table, turned around and left, when she reached the door, she said,

"Prepare me some hidden weapons, money, and enough time for the antidote!"

Duan Mufeng: "I'll give you enough time!"

Great Jin Imperial City.

Shen Jinyu, who had finished the morning court, had just arrived at Potianjun's duty room to approve the official documents piled up on the table. Suddenly, Lin Qingqiu led an eunuch and rushed in, and the eunuch hurriedly said, panting before he even had time to salute. : "Lord Shen, it's not good, the border is in trouble, and the Dongta army is invading on a large scale. Your Majesty calls you to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to discuss the war!"

"What?" Shen Jinyu was stunned for a moment, then immediately started to walk into the palace.

Dongta has not violated the border for many years, how could it be so sudden?
He didn't dare to be slow, when he arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, all the important ministers had already arrived, Lu Tao was sitting on the dragon chair, and the ministers below were arguing in dire straits.

There are those who are fighting, and those who are fighting, all kinds of voices are intertwined, and nothing can be heard clearly.

"Okay, everyone, please be quiet first, we need to calm down and discuss now, the more noisy the more fruitless," Qin Huaiming sternly shouted, stroking his beard.

As soon as Qin Huaiming's words came out, the voices of the officials gradually became quieter, and Lu Tao didn't speak until it became quiet.
"You have those who are the main fighters, and those who are the main peace, come out and explain the truth of this."

The peace faction is dominated by stubborn old men such as Fang Chang'an. As soon as Lu Tao's words fell, someone came forward and said,
"Your Majesty, I think peace is the main thing. Last year, there were locusts in various places in the Jin Dynasty. The farmer's harvest was not good. Compared with the previous year, the grain received in the treasury dropped by more than half. It was rainy this year. Seeing that the grain The harvest is not optimistic, if there is a rash of war, how long can the treasury last?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is not easy to grow food from the land in the border states of Shuobei. Once the war is raging, what do the people have to live on? The food from the treasury must support the soldiers of the army and the people of the Jin Dynasty. Common people, how many apportionments will be made, and how much will be left?"

"The people have managed to live a good life for a few years, and now there is going to be a war. In the end, it is the unarmed people of Dajin who suffer! Your Majesty!"

Although these old men are stubborn, what they say is on the joints everywhere.The harvest in the past two years has not been good, and there is not much food in the treasury. If there is a war, there must be not enough food.

"Your Majesty, I think that what your lords said is reasonable, but don't forget one thing," Tang Yuanqing stepped forward and said solemnly: "In the past few peace talks, Dajin gave up three cities in total, at the price of two gates. , If you negotiate peace again this time, what will be the price? Five cities or ten gates? The Dongta tribe is greedy. Their goal is not at all the land you gave up, but the territory, people, and granaries of the entire Jin Dynasty. Blindly forbearance will only make them think that our Dajin is weak and incompetent, since ancient times only the strong can survive!"

"Master Tang said very politely. The people of Dongta will not give up starting the war because of our tolerance. Only by annihilating them in one fell swoop can the people of Dajin live a completely stable life! If there is not enough food in the treasury, then mobilize the southeast and Support from two granaries in the Northeast!"

Shen Jinyu, who had never spoken all this time, also took a step forward and said: "Winter in Shuobei is coming soon. Dongta's move is clearly to store enough food for the tribe to survive the winter. Shuobei is very cold, and the crops are not harvested. It is not enough to meet the needs of the Dongta people, so they will only make an inch, and they will definitely do their best to attack this time, so I think that this time it is not appropriate to negotiate a peace, but to counterattack with all their strength!"

Tang Yuanqing was the first to agree: "My minister seconded the proposal!"

Zheng Li: "The minister seconded the proposal!"

"I agree with Mr. Shen's words!"

Even Qin Huaiming nodded, "Your Majesty, forbearance is not the style of the Great Jin Dynasty. If Dongta is in one day, there will be no peace at the border of Dajin. It is written in the urgent report of the Marquis of Zhenbei that Dongta used more than [-] troops in this attack." There are so many soldiers and horses in the past, I am afraid that it cannot be resolved through peace talks."

Lu Tao understood Qin Huaiming's meaning, he took a deep breath, and raised his voice: "I am a brave man who is countless in Dajin, and I am not afraid of Dongtaren's scimitar, since I want to challenge my bottom line, then I will fight! Beat them until they roll! It’s time to reward them with a whip!”
