The emperor nodded: "This is not difficult, I will answer you."

Dan Tai bowed his fists and saluted: "Thank you for your accomplishment."

When the emperor saw that Dan Tai was about to leave, he called out and said, "Don't rush back. When he went back, he was bothered by those guys. Stay here and chat with me and have dinner together."

Dan Tai did not refuse, and returned to the other side of his seat to sit down.

The emperor asked: "Is the general okay?"

Tan Tai replied: "Very good."

The emperor nodded, stood up and poured a cup of tea for Dan Tai's shore: "I know very well that if it weren't for your Dan Tai family guarding the northwest, even if Prince Wu of Da Chu fought east and west, it wouldn't have been able to hold on until now."

"The black warriors are tigers and leopards, and the Western Regions are jackals. They are even more vicious than tigers and leopards. When they rush forward, they will bite the Central Plains without even the bones."

The emperor slowly breathed: "When dozens of countries in the Western Regions turmoild the Central Plains, the people of the Central Plains were bloody, and hundreds of millions of people were massacred. Including the south and north of the Yangtze River, less than 20% of the people survived, and there were no one in Jizhou in a thousand miles."

Dan Tai was not sure what the emperor meant, so he didn't answer the words, just listened.

After sitting down, the emperor continued, "Before King Ning Li Chi took the initiative in the northern border, someone asked the late emperor whether to transfer the Liangzhou army back to the Central Plains to suppress the bandits in Jizhou."

When Dan Tai heard this, his eyes narrowed.

The emperor continued: "The father refused. He said that the Dan Tai family was still in the northwest. No matter how chaotic the Central Plains were, they were not from the Western Regions. Once the iron army in Liangzhou entered the pass, the Western Xinjiang would be lost, and the Central Plains would be in chaos."

He looked at Dan Tai's shore: "When I ascended to the top, some people also advised me to mobilize the border troops in the Western Frontier and Liangzhou troops into the pass, and they can rebel and eliminate Jizhou."

"I didn't agree. What my father said was still in my ears... You shouldn't know that General Luo Geng of Youzhou had written three letters. As long as I nodded, he would lead his army south to suppress the rebellion. I rejected him three times."

The emperor calmed down for a moment, picked up the teacup but did not drink it. He went to his mouth and put it down again.

"He said in his memorial that the north is about to be in chaos, and he is willing to lead the northern border troops to clear out the rebels and strive to ensure that the south of the Yangtze River is not lost. I wrote back to him and said, "You only need to guard the border well and to quell the rebellion, Prince Wu is there."

"In his second memorial, he wrote that northern borders can be discarded, Jizhou can be abandoned, and Jiangnan land is the top priority... So I don't like him, and I don't like him since then."

Dan Tai frowned. Looking back, General Luo Geng, the Youzhou general, was plotted by Prince Wu, probably because the emperor didn't like it.

At that time, Luo Gengxin was arrogant and thought that there were the Iron Cavalry of Youzhou and 100,000 border troops, so he could force the emperor to be the king of him.

If the emperor had agreed to Luo Geng at that time, the border troops would have completely abandoned the northern border, whether it was Jizhou or Yanzhou, they would probably have fallen into the hands of the black warriors.

Luo Geng's plan was to lead about 100,000 elite troops south, and Prince Wu wanted to fight east and west, and he could retreat to Yuzhou or even stationed in Jingzhou. At that time, he would be less than one person and more than ten thousand people.

He may not have the intention to be emperor, but he must have thought of paving the way for his son Luojing.

But Luo Jing didn't understand what his father was planning, because Luo Geng was unstable in his character and never let Luo Jing ask about his affairs.

Luo Geng was extremely strict with his son and taught him like a soldier. When Luo Jing was still young, he told him that you just obey and don’t ask so many questions.

This led to Luo Jing obeying everything, asking him to follow Prince Yu to go south, and asking him to come back, and then he would come back.

He didn't know his father's final plan, nor did he know why his father was always depressed, nor did he know why the emperor had to plot against his father so much.

The emperor picked up the teacup and took a sip, but did not put it down, holding it in his hands to warm the palms.

"I lost, and now I have admitted defeat, but I don't really have no other way."

The emperor said: "It is better to destroy the country than to transfer the border troops. This is the legacy of the ancestors of the Yang family."

Dan Tai Jing knew that the emperor was right, because until now, if the border troops of Da Chu are still quite strong, they are still considerate.

Eastern Xinjiang, Southern Xinjiang, Western Xinjiang...not counting the border troops that the emperors in the northern Xinjiang could no longer be mobilized, the number of border troops in other places was added up, even if there were no millions of people, hundreds of thousands of soldiers who were good at fighting were still there.

"You said let me do you a favor."

The emperor looked at Dan Tai and said, "I can help, I can even give in to the world. Is there anything I can't help, but I also hope you can do me a favor."

Tan Tai said with a low voice: "Your Majesty, please tell me."

"I...I'm not trying to treat the border troops badly, but the Great Chu has come to my hands and I really can't take out anything..."

The emperor lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "I really want to say sorry to all the soldiers of the border army. There is probably no chance. When King Ning becomes emperor in the future, please treat them well. They guard the frontier, which can be regarded as the reason why King Ning can win the Central Plains."

However, Dan Tai was not moved by the emperor's attitude. Those who have experienced too many life and death were not moved by a few words.

"Your Majesty, how should you treat the brothers of the border army? When King Ning had nothing, he did better than His Majesty."

The emperor looked up at Dan Tai's shore, his eyes a little complicated.

Tan Tai said in a low voice: "Your Majesty said that the border brothers have made contributions to King Ning. King Ning will remember, and the people will remember. If the people cannot think of this, King Ning will tell the people and ask them to remember."

He clasped his fists: "I'll go back first, thank you for your help."

The emperor nodded: "Okay..."

After Dan Tai left Shiyuan Palace, he stood on the street for a long time. Although the emperor's words did not touch him, they were still a little touched.

The Yang family’s greatest kindness to the people of the Central Plains is the four words “no movement of the border troops”.

He always thought Yang Jing was a pitiful person. After this conversation, he felt that Yang Jing was even more pitiful.

But what he thought most was that he felt unfair about Luo Jing. His father's death was actually the cause and the result of his father himself planted.

General Luo, who had once made all the black warriors arrive, was fascinated by power and desire in his later years, and this was the beginning of the tragedy.

After returning to Yibin Garden, Dan Tai summoned the generals he brought to discuss matters and did not disperse until the second midnight.

He decided to lead his army out of Daxing City seven days later, and attacked the Yongzhou army from south to north.

In this battle seven days later, whether he can lead the hundreds of thousands of Chu troops who have no fighting spirit well is the key to this battle.

The next morning, he sent people out of the city to report to King Ning for the plan of attack seven days later. Standing on the wall of Daxing City and looking north, the Yongzhou Army's company in the distance looked like huge graves.

Some people may think that it is an endless mountain range, but in the eyes of Dan Tai, they are all earthen tombs.

"The lord said that the country and the people cannot be handed over to them."

Dan Tai's hand slapped heavily on the city wall.
