The emperor looked at him and said, "Thank you for your hard work these days."

"Your Majesty!" Xu Fu felt that this was a sign that he would be punished severely, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

"I know your loyalty. You haven't slept for a while, okay?" The emperor suddenly smiled and said: "My health is not good, and the civil and military officials in the dynasty probably don't take it to heart. Only you. Get up!"

"His Majesty!"

Xu Fu swallowed more and stood up, feeling ominous again. He quickly wiped away his tears and said, "Your Majesty, if you take good care of yourself, you will definitely live a long life."

"Whenever my body is mentioned, people always say long live it. Look at the history, where is the long live emperor? Don't say that.

Long live, even a hundred years have never happened. Whenever an emperor pursues longevity, he will probably lose his head. The Liao Dynasty is like this, I can't lose my head, I can't!"

The emperor stood up with difficulty and said, "Help me walk."

Two chamberlains came forward, one on the left and one on the right, to hold the emperor.

"Father!"

The prince happened to come in.

"Prince, take a walk with your father."

The prince turned sideways and walked out slowly. The little man's eyes were full of smiles, "Father looks so good today."

"Really?" the emperor smiled.

"Yes! Don't you believe it?" The prince looked at the officials and chamberlains.

"Yes! Your Majesty's face looks red today and he is full of energy."

Everyone agreed, and the emperor was in a happy mood.

"Your Majesty, please see the Privy Council."

A chamberlain came to report.

"Let him come."

The emperor stood outside the palace, looking at the spring scenery outside, and praised sincerely: "It's so beautiful!"

Privy Councilor Xiao came in a hurry.

After the late emperor's defeat, Xiao Cang aged rapidly, his beard and hair turned gray, and he also had a few scars on his cheeks.

"I have met Your Majesty!" Xiao saluted.

"Is there something wrong, Xiao Qing?" It was rare for the emperor to express his mood.

Xiao's face condensed slightly, "There's a war over there."

"how?"

The emperor walked to the railing, holding his hands on it, his eyes calm.

Xiao followed beside him, "Yang Xuan arrived with 80,000 troops, but something went wrong there. He lost the first battle and lost thousands. However, Supervisor Helian came up with a plan, and I and several veterans from the Ministry of War made a plan.

"

He looked at the emperor and said, "Excellent!"

"Oh!" The emperor relaxed. "There are always people who say that Governor Helian made his fortune by flattering. But these people regard the emperor as a fool. There is no shortage of flatterers around the emperor. Flattery is what makes the emperor pay attention.

The reason is: If he has no ability, why do I need him? Can’t people in the palace be flattery? Why do I need an old man to flatter him? "

Xiao smiled and said: "To make both the late Emperor and His Majesty think highly of me, flattery alone is not enough."

"Du Helian is deep-minded and can endure. Yang Xuan's attacks are like fire, invincible. After much deliberation, I can only use Du Helian."

“Conquer strength with softness!”

"It kind of means that. Facing Yang Xuan, you can't confront him. The Northern Xinjiang Army has been trained to be extremely sharp by him. If you confront him, how rare will the winner be? You have to be patient, look for opportunities to strike, and kill with one blow!"

"Your Majesty is wise." Xiao said: "This is exactly how Governor Helian arranged it. He ordered his subordinates to detour to Taizhou and break into the Taoxian area disguised as the traitor Lin Jun. Then Yang Xuan's army was bound to be shaken. Governor Helian was there

The flanks are constantly raided, and the city pretends to be weak."

"Interesting!" The emperor smiled and said: "The key is still the troops, right?"

The emperor was a general who was in command back then, not a simpleton who didn't know anything.

"Yes!" Xiao said: "The troops forced the northern Xinjiang defenders to panic, and then they took a detour and raided the food road of Yang Xuan's army."

"The city's show of weakness is a gesture to hold Yang Xuan back. The same goes for the frequent flank attacks. All the purposes are to cut off the food route. This detour is giving me a headache."

"Yes! When I looked at it, I felt that in the face of such a plan, what could Yang Xuan do?"

"Is there any news?"

"The troops who raided Taoxian County have succeeded and are preparing to raid the grain road."

"good!"

A blush appeared on the emperor's face for a long time, "If we win this battle, the situation will open up."

"Yes!" Xiao said happily: "Then came the Shegu tribe. They suppressed the Shegu tribe and went south to Chang'an with all their strength. They also had to send envoys."

The emperor nodded, "If Li Bi learns about the defeat in Northern Xinjiang, he will be more anxious than us. He will not wait to raise his troops and march north.

"I'm a little confused. He and Daliao have agreed to attack Northern Xinjiang. Aren't they worried that after Northern Xinjiang is lost, Daliao's cavalry will go south?"

"It's hard to guess the emperor's thoughts. I've been thinking about Li Mi's thoughts for a while, and I have a vague feeling that this person doesn't care about the country at all."

"I am terrified, is there such an emperor?"

"There are too many. If you look at history, there are many such emperors."

The emperor smiled contemptuously, "Every one is more ridiculous than the other, and in the end he ruins his country, but he still has no regrets."

Xiao reported a few more things and then left.

"Xiao Qing, wait!"

The emperor stopped him and pondered.

"The war situation in the south will be sent to the palace as soon as it arrives, also at night."

"yes!"

The emperor was in a happy mood and immediately ordered people to roast meat.

The father and son had a great time eating and drinking together.

"Prince, do you like it?" the emperor asked the prince who was enjoying the food.

The prince nodded, "I like it!"

"Hahahaha!" The emperor couldn't help but laugh when he saw the grease and stains on his face. "The medical officer said that half of my health is caused by my depressed mood. I will just wait for the big victory in the south and I will be able to relax.

, is it okay for us, father and son, to leave the palace and the city?"

"good!"

The prince raised his smile.

That night, the emperor drank a lot of wine, and rarely invited a beautiful woman to sleep with him.

In the middle of the night, people came from outside the palace.

"Who?" The general at the head of the city held up a lantern and looked down.

"It's me!"

"Privy Envoy?"

"I have urgent military information to report to Your Majesty!"

During the day, the palace had promised that if there was any news from the south at night, it would be sent in immediately.

But it is impossible to open the palace door. In history, it is not uncommon for rebellions to be launched immediately after the palace door is opened by cheating.

Xiao put a hanging basket down at the top of the city and put a battle report into it.

Immediately, a chamberlain took the battle report and hurried outside the palace.

"What's going on?"

Xu Fu came over wearing his clothes.

The chamberlain handed over the battle report.

Xu Fu opened his eyes and took a look, his expression changed drastically, and he whispered: "Your Majesty just fell asleep."

"Ahem!"

The emperor's voice came from the palace, "What's the matter?"

Xu Fu said softly outside the door: "Your Majesty, Yanzhou in the south has been lost."

puff!

There was a sound of vomiting coming from inside.

"His Majesty!"
