A military report that could make the Imperial Court extremely anxious.
He could even make Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, summon a court meeting to let him go.
It was definitely not a small matter.
"Prepare the carriage immediately. It seems that something big has happened. I have to go to Xianyang Palace!”
"Yes, Lord Marquis!"
De Xiang nodded, then went down to arrange for the people in the residence to prepare the carriage and attendants.
When Li Xiao arrived outside Xianyang Palace.
Many of the officials who had received the news had already rushed to Xianyang Palace.
Right Prime Minister Feng Quji, who was walking beside Li Xiao, came over and asked with a smile,"
"Defender Marquis, what major event has happened in the Imperial Court? Do you have any news?
Why are you suddenly asking us to participate in the court meeting?
Your network is all over the world, so you should have some channels for information!”
The Right Prime Minister Feng Quji was a member of the Huang Lao School of Thought who emphasized inaction. He did not interfere in many matters in the court, so his spies were naturally not as good as Li Xiao's. Li Xiao did not have much conflict with him. Li Xiao smiled and said,
"Something big must have happened in the Mobei area.
My subordinates have long sensed the urgency of the military report in the northern desert.
It shouldn't be too bad!"
Feng Quji was stunned.
"Isn't Meng Tian there?"
When he reacted, he could not help but shake his head and say,
"Sigh, troubled times!"
After the little episode outside the palace, all the officials in the court entered the Qilin Palace to wait for Ying Zheng.
Ninety percent of the officials present were dumbfounded. They had no idea what had happened.
However, the ministers above all knew.
At the very least, Left Prime Minister Li Si, who was sitting opposite Li Xiao, had an indifferent expression. Clearly, he knew that something big had happened in the Mobei region.
One of the three dukes, Wei Liao, controlled all military affairs in the world.
At this moment, his face was filled with worry.
The Imperial Censor beside him also had an ugly expression on his face.
As the secretary of Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng.
Obviously, he wanted to know more.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
At this moment, the eunuch's voice rang out. The First Emperor of Qin, Ying Zheng, strode over to the dragon throne at the top of the Qilin Palace and sat down, his face looking rather unsightly.
Looking at everyone present, Ying Zheng said in a deep voice,"
"Since all the beloved ministers are here, I will make it short.
Something big had happened at Yanmen Pass in the Mobei region.
The Xiongnu people started fighting. The bridal escort team that Meng Tian brought over was suddenly attacked by the Xiongnu people.
They have already retreated to Yanmen Pass."
"According to the news that Meng Tian sent back, the Xiongnu people have also planned this.
They were ready.
Meng Tian retreated to Yanmen Pass and could be besieged by the Xiongnu at any time.
It can be said that the situation is extremely critical!"
Li Xiao frowned when he heard this. He had already known about Meng Tian bringing people to welcome Tu An's Princess Yu Shu a month ago.
However, at that time, it was the Qin Emperor Ying Zheng who made the decision.
There wasn't even a court meeting.
He directly asked Meng Tian to bring tens of thousands of soldiers to Yanmen Pass to welcome Tu An's princess.
However, he did not expect the Xiongnu to suddenly intervene.
All the courtiers present did not say a word and waited for Ying Zheng to continue.
Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng continued in a deep voice,"
"Yanmen Pass must not be lost.
The Jiuyuan Prefecture would no longer be able to stop the Xiongnu cavalry, and the imperial court had to come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible.
We must reinforce Yanmen Pass as soon as possible!"
"Ding! The system has issued a main mission."
" Host, support Yanmen Pass. Control a portion of the military power and command an army of no less than 50,000 people to defeat the Xiongnu.”
" Reward: Ying Zheng's favorable impression 300, supporting role's luck 200, Golden Spear Cannot Fall, Sun Tzu's Art of War: Proficiency.”
Li Xiao thought for a moment, then walked out, bowed to Ying Zheng and said,"
"Your Majesty, this humble subject is receiving your salary and should share your worries. This humble subject is willing to go.
I request to go and support Yanmen Pass!
Stop the Xiongnu army."
"Good!"
Li Xiao's expression was indifferent, but he stood in the imperial court with a different kind of bearing. The words he said were even more convincing. Ying Zheng praised,"
"Guardian Marquis is truly my beloved minister!
He is a great talent of our Great Qin and the pillar of our Great Qin!
So what if the Xiongnu attacked?
I still have the Defender Marquis!"
"I've decided to let the Defender Marquis take command. I'll transfer Li Xin and thirty thousand black-armored soldiers from the Imperial Army to assist the Defender Marquis.
Li Si, do you have any objections?"
As he said that, Ying Zheng turned his gaze to Left Prime Minister Li Si, who was standing below. Li Si was in his prime, and he was very good at handling government affairs. He was quite trusted by the First Emperor of Qin, Ying Zheng.
Li Si stood up and bowed respectfully."
"The Defender Marquis is a great talent of the country.
With such a person in command of Mobei, Li Si thought that he would be able to stop the Xiongnu.
Li Si, no objections!"
"Alright, then who is in charge of the logistics of the army?”
The logistics of the army was a lucrative job, and the eyes of all the courtiers present were shining. At this moment, Li Xiao suddenly bowed to Qin Shihuang and said,"
"Your Majesty, I believe that the logistics of the army must be handled by Left Prime Minister Li Si.
Sir Li Si had always been loyal to his duty.
With Sir Li Si managing the logistics of the army, I can deal with the Xiongnu without worry!”
"Alright, then Li Si will take care of it!"
Hearing these words, the other officials couldn't help but roll their eyes. They could finally see that Left Prime Minister Li Si had somehow gotten together with the Defender Marquis. The two of them were simply in cahoots and didn't even leave them any leftovers.
Ruthless, they were really two ruthless skulls!
Li Xiao nodded slightly at Li Si, returning the favor.
Li Si was now in his prime, and he was quite trusted by the First Emperor, Ying Zheng. Li Xiao had no reason to go against Li Si, after all, he was not Yi Xiaochuan's friend.
Having more friends was better than having more enemies.
Right at this moment, Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, suddenly thought of something and smiled at Li Xiao,"
"I almost forgot something.
This time, I personally sent Meng Tian to take care of Princess Tu An's trip to Xianyang.
Actually, I was prepared to give Princess Tu An to the Defender Marquis, so I accepted this marriage.
Who knew that the Xiongnu incident would happen?”
"It just so happens that the Defender Marquis is going to Yanmen Pass.
It was said that Princess Tu An was as beautiful as a flower, and she just happened to bring back Lady Pattern.
This is a joyous occasion for Great Qin!”
Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Li Xiao was instantly dumbfounded. But after he came back to his senses, he hurriedly bowed to Ying Zheng and said,"
"Thank you for your reward, Your Majesty!"
"No worries, the Defender Marquis is the pillar of the country!”
Hearing what Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng said, all the officials and ministers below couldn't help but think,"
"Defender Marquis is indeed worthy of His Majesty's humerus!”
"I didn't expect that the princess of Tu An was actually prepared by His Majesty to be bestowed to the Defender Marquis!”
"His Majesty is really favoring the Defender Marquis!”
......
Li Xiao did not expect that Princess Tu An, Yu Shu, whom Emperor Qin, Ying Zheng, was going to marry some time ago, was actually going to be his wife.
However, a moment later, Li Xiao's face revealed a touch of realization. He thought of the 500 luck in love that he had obtained from the system.
He had thought that it was useless.
It turned out that she was waiting for him here with a big move!
But that jade gargle seemed to be really beautiful!
After the court meeting was dismissed, all the ministers went to prepare for the matter. However, in the end, the logistics of the army was still in Li Si's hands.
Li Xiao was going to set off tomorrow.
On the official road to Xianyang Palace, Left Prime Minister Li Si cupped his hands at Li Xiao and said,"
"Many thanks to Lord Marquis for recommending me in front of His Majesty!”
"Prime minister, you don't have to be so polite. I was just returning the favor!
I didn't know that the Prime Minister was stopping me here.
Do you have something to say?"
Li Si was a straightforward person. He had stopped Li Xiao before he even left the palace. It was obvious that he had something urgent to tell Li Xiao. Li Si smiled and said,"
"Lord Marquis is truly intelligent.
Then I will be frank. My son, Li Youyue, just followed Meng Tian to Yanmen Pass.
Now, he was trapped in Yanmen Pass!
This old man has come this time to ask if the Marquis can take care of my son if he sees him.
This old man believes in Lord Marquis's strength!”
Li Xiao smiled and waved his hand."
"Prime Minister, don't worry. Leave this matter to me. I will do my best!”
"Thank you, Lord Marquis!"
Li Si couldn't help but smile when he heard Li Xiao agree so readily. It was obvious that Li Xiao's straightforwardness made him feel very comfortable.
This was because Li Xiao was giving him face.
Sometimes, people were just so strange. When they felt that they were valued, they would always feel happy.
And now, Li Si was like that.
Li Xiao always had a smile on his face. Li Xiao said that he would do his best and how much effort he had put in, but in the end, it was all up to him.
Li You's status was not low. Unless he wanted to die, it would be difficult for him to die.
"Lord Prime Minister is too polite!"
After Li Xiao returned to the Lu Residence.
Everyone in the Lu Residence already knew that Li Xiao was going to attack the Xiongnu tomorrow.
It was said that it was very dangerous this time.
Li Xiao went to guard Yanmen Pass.
In the past, it had always been Great Qin's army that had the advantage, but this time, it was the Xiongnu army that had the advantage.
When it was half dark.
Li Xiao hugged him on the left and right.
Lu Zhi and Lu Su, the two little girls, were somewhat reluctant to let Li Xiao go to Yanmen Pass.
He was even more worried about Li Xiao's safety.
After all, Li Xiao was their everything now.
Therefore, Li Xiao comforted the two of them for the entire night.
This era was such a tragedy.
Men were the pillars of the family.
"Don't worry, with my martial arts, even if I lose, the Xiongnu won't be able to kill me!
Just relax.
I'll let De Xiang stay behind to protect you.”
Lu Zhi's face was filled with shyness as he said,"
"Husband, let's have a child as soon as possible!”
"Yes!"
