Ye Xiaoqian's face looked a little bad because he felt guilty and felt particularly guilty. This guilt made him feel uncomfortable.

He thought he had done a beautiful case in Yuanzhen, but he didn't expect that Yuanzhen would be so decisive.

Although Yuan Zhen made complete preparations for his escape, he might have regarded himself as bait from the beginning.

He used all his best preparation and the aura of desperate attempt to escape, so that the Tingwei Mansion's attention was all on him.

In the end, although this man died, he still successfully sent the map and secret letter back.

So sometimes you have to admire your opponents because they are not as stupid and weak as you think.

Among the enemies, there are also people who dare to die, and there are many dead soldiers who are loyal to the enemy country.

Now Ye Xiaoqian has been transferred to Weiyang Palace to do things, but he is afraid that this knot will not be able to be solved for a while.

So after hearing the news, Ye Xiaoqian and Li Chi took a leave and rushed to Tingwei's Mansion to inquire.

Qianban Yu Hongyi handed Ye Xiaoqian two secret reports that had just been delivered not long ago: "The other two were also stopped by the border army, and the secret letters and maps they carried were also intercepted."

Ye Xiaoqian looked at the two secret reports and sighed.

"There is no difference between two intercepted, and neither of them is intercepted."

Ye Xiaoqian said: "Your Majesty did not blame me, nor did Lord Du Tingwei blame me, but I cannot help but blame myself."

Yu Hongyi raised her hand and patted him on his shoulder: "Don't mention you, if anyone in our Tingwei Mansion did this case, the result would be the same. If there is a difference, it would probably be better than you."

Ye Xiaoqian asked: "Your Majesty and Lord Du Tingwei, have you arranged to go to the northern border? Please tell me a message. If so, I will ask Your Majesty and let me go to the northern border."

Yu Hongyi said: "Now each has its own responsibilities. Now you are the commander of the great guards. You should do your current work. Why... teach you so much, and you have learned so much, but you have forgotten the word "duty"?"

Ye Xiaoqian didn't know what to say for a moment, so he had to nod helplessly.

He also knew that Yu Hongyi was right. He is now the commander of the Grand Inspector's Eagle Guard and what he should do has nothing to do with the Tingwei Mansion.

"Go back."

Yu Hongyi said, "But... think about it, if Your Majesty really wants to lead the army in person, you are the commander of the great guards, how can you not go?"

Ye Xiaoqian's eyes lit up, and his emotions immediately improved a lot. He smiled and said goodbye, and hurried back to Weiyang Palace.

Not long after I returned to the palace, I saw that all the thousands of officials from the Tingwei Mansion had entered the palace, just a little later than him.

In addition to the Thousand Offices of the Tingwei Mansion, there were also people from the Military Command, who also saw Lord Guiyuan.

Although Lord Gui has now been appointed as the Minister of Revenue, the responsibilities of the Military Control Commission have not been clearly handed over.

Seeing this posture, Ye Xiaoqian guessed that something big was going to happen, so he became a little excited.

The main hall.

Li Chi glanced at the men in front of him. These were all the Qian Office in Chang'an City and all the senior officers of the Military Control Commission.

"The reincarnation of the Military Command into the Tingwei Mansion has already told you about Guiyuan Shuo."

Li Chi said in a calm tone: "There is no need to be too urgent for this matter. People on both sides should be familiar with each other and organize all the files and files. It will not be smoothed out in a short while."

"But now, the black warriors are very likely to attack the border again, and they may come very quickly, so the merger between the Tingwei Mansion and the Military Command will also be accelerated."

Li Chi walked slowly in front of them: "Yuan Zhen mentioned something in his secret letter to Emperor Heiwu Khan."

"If Yuan Zhen dares to write it out, he is not afraid of being seen by us, because he is not sure that all the three subordinates will return to Heiwu safely."

"He is not afraid because we don't know anything yet... The secret letter said that during the period of Yuan Zhen's stay in the Central Plains, he quietly sent people out to connect all the secret spies who had entered the Central Plains during the Chu State and let them gather in the northern border."

Li Chi said as he walked: "Yuan Zhen told the Emperor Heiwu Khan in a secret letter that the reason why he failed the previous few times to go south was because he did not understand the Central Plains army."

"So before going south this time, the first thing to do is intelligence. He arranged for secret spies to enter the northern border, and the black warriors would also arrange a large number of secret spies to find ways to come in."

Li Chi walked to the side of the hall, where there was a huge sand table, which was the terrain of the northern border.

"This is the Yanshan Mountains."

Li Chi pointed to the sand table, and everyone gathered over and stood around and listened carefully to Li Chi to continue talking.

Li Chi said: "Although Chengguan Fortress has been built in all dangerous places, the Yanshan Mountains are too long."

"In such a long mountain range, scouts and spies with outstanding abilities can still penetrate in no matter the cost of losses."

Li Chi pointed to another place with his hand: "Where is this place? Do any of you know?"

A Qianban replied: "Go back to your Majesty, this is the White Mountains and the Black Mountains."

Li Chi nodded, and his fingers drew a little between the Yanshan Mountains and the Baishan Mountains.

"This is what the people often call Mobei."

Li Chi paused for a moment and continued in a gentle tone: "Mobei was originally within the territory of Chu, but in the hundreds of years of confrontation with the black warriors, the border of Chu was suppressed and retreated, and had retreated a lot southward, with a short place three or four hundred miles and a long place six or seven hundred miles."

Li Chi pointed to another place: "This is the outer grassland that you have all heard of, it is much larger than the Mobei region, and the thousands of miles of grassland..."

Speaking of this, Li Chi paused for a moment and his tone changed a little.

"Yuan Zhen praised me in his secret letter to Emperor Heiwu Khan."

Li Chi said this and smiled: "The praise is quite pertinent. He said that I may surpass all the emperors of Chu for hundreds of years. This is his original words. After reading it, I thought that what this guy said...is well deserved."

Everyone laughed.

Li Chi said: "Why did he praise me like this? It was because he wanted to tell the Heiwu Khan Emperor that if we could not go south when our Daning Empire was in its early days and the Central Plains was not very stable, then there might be no chance in the future."

Li Chi smiled and said, "I agree with this point. Now it is indeed the last chance for the black warriors to go south. Daning will become stronger and stronger. Ten years later, twenty years later, they will no longer be able to attack us like when suppressing the Chu border army. One hundred years later, two hundred years later, our border army may be able to suppress them in turn."

His gaze returned to the area north of Yanshan Mountain.

“It’s right here.”

Li Chi swept his fingers on the Yanshan Mountains: "The 800,000 laborers brought back by General Wang from Bohai Kingdom are rebuilding the border. I thought about it and stopped repairing it."

His fingers moved, stopped at the Baishan side, and pointed hard.

"Reconstruction is reconstruction, but not at the Beishan Pass, but at the Baishan and Heishan."

"Don't the black warriors go south? We won't defend the enemy this time, we're going to fight out this time."

When everyone heard this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Li Chi continued: "The black warriors want to fight, how to fight, and where to fight, what they said this time doesn't matter, we will decide."

"The battlefield is in this place called Mobei. We are fighting against the black warriors here. If we can fight back this time, it hurts, we can take back the lost Mobei and turn the Baishan line into the northern border of the Central Plains again."

Speaking of this, Li Chi looked at everyone.

"So, not only are there a large number of black military secret spies on the Beishan Pass, but there will also be a large number of black military secret spies in the area outside the northern part of the pass."

Li Chi squeezed his hand in the air.

"You must scan Mobei!"

"call!"

Everyone responded neatly.

Li Chi said: "In the north of the Mobei, there are a large number of horse thieves, murderers, and bandits of all sizes. These people need to be swept away."

"Then there are the secret spies from the Black Martial Arts in the entire northern desert. Yuan Zhen hopes that before Emperor Hei Wu Khan goes south, we will blind all of these eyes."

Li Chi looked at Ye Zhangzhu.

"Before the war in the northern border this time, Mr. Ye personally led the team to scan the northern desert first. He will select a group of people from you to bring them."

"Before the army arrives in the northern border, all you need to do is to clean your eyes and then blind the enemy's eyes."

"call!"

Everyone agreed loudly again.

It has to be said that this may be a very small number of active attacks in the past few hundred years of combat against the black warriors.

There is not only the north of Yanshan Mountain, but also the outer grassland that makes people drool.

If this battle is fought well, it will not only push the border back to the Baishan line, but also re-incorporate the Wanli Grassland into the territory of the Central Plains Empire.

The Chu State lost the outer grassland, which was equivalent to giving it to the black warriors the best horse farm in the world, with inexhaustible war horses and inexhaustible cavalry.

After robbing it, these inexhaustible war horses and inexhaustible cavalry are all from Daning.

"His Majesty!"

At this moment, someone leaned over outside the door and said, "Your Majesty, I will forgive you for being reckless, I will go to Mobei."

Li Chi looked out and saw that it was Bortechina.

As the most solid ally of the Ning army, how could Li Chi not invite Bortechina to the throne ceremony at Chang'an City?

He was chatting with Xiahouzhuo just now, and Xiahouzhuo mentioned that he was going to fight in Mobei, and Bortechi suddenly became energetic.

He immediately ran to the main hall, as if a parent was going out to play, but did not tell him to take care of his anxious child.

Li Chi smiled and said, "When the army sets off, you will naturally let you go. Now is not the time."

Bortechina leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, if I bring a cavalry to cooperate with the Tingwei Mansion, it may have unexpected results."

Li Chi asked him: "What do you say?"
