Chapter 1217 Battle Situation Seeing that the visitor was Shangguan Xiu, all the ministers bowed their hands and saluted.
Shangguanxiu looked at Cai Xiao and asked, "Master Cai suggested that your Majesty change the commander.
I wonder who Master Cai would recommend to your Majesty?"
"This" Cai Xiao was speechless.
The suitable candidate in his mind is naturally Shangguan Xiu.
Considering Du Ji's current situation, I am afraid that only Shangguan Xiu's personal visit to Du Ji can stabilize the morale of the army and turn defeat into victory.
But he couldn't say that.
Your Majesty was about to leave.
At this time, he suggested that the Duke of Guo go to the Duji battlefield.
Wasn't he deliberately causing trouble for Your Majesty?
It would be strange for Your Majesty not to bear a grudge against him when he was giving birth.
Cai Xiao was hesitating and speechless.
Shangguan Xiu looked at the others and asked, "Do you have any suitable people to recommend?"
People basically had the same mentality as Cai Xiao.
They suggested a coaching change to Tang Ling.
In fact, they hoped that Tang Ling would take the initiative and send Shangguan Xiu to the Duji battlefield so that they could sit back and enjoy his achievements.
After hearing Shangguan Xiu's question, everyone lowered their heads in unison, and no one said a word.
Shangguan Xiu glanced at everyone and asked, "What do you think, sir, if I go to Duji?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers present said in unison with relief: "Your Highness is wise."
"My dear, be careful what you say."
Tang Ling warned with an unsightly expression.
It was now less than a month before she was due to be sold.
If Shangguanxiu left at this time, she would definitely not be able to come back in time.
For a woman, getting married and having children are the two most important events in life.
Of course, Tang Ling hopes that her husband can be by her side when she is about to give birth.
Although she was the emperor, she was very scared when she experienced such a thing for the first time.
In fact, in this era, giving birth to a child is indeed like a trip to hell for a woman, especially the first child.
Shangguan Xiu looked at Tang Ling and said to the ministers present: "Your Majesty is also tired.
Sirs, please go back.
I will handle the military affairs on the front line, so you don't need to worry."
After hearing Shangguan Xiu's words, everyone present seemed to have taken a reassurance.
Even though he regarded Shangguanxiu as his biggest political enemy, Cai Xiao had to admit that Shangguanxiu was a rare genius in commanding troops to fight.
With Shangguanxiu, a general, charging at the front line, even he, the chief minister, felt that Feel more at ease.
After Tang Ling waved to everyone, the ministers knelt down and bowed before filing out of the Hall of Preservation and Harmony.
The ministers left, Shangguan Xiu walked up the steps, came to Tang Ling, and said meaningfully: "The Duji battlefield is very important, directly related to the life and death of our country.
Now 400,000 troops are trapped.
If we just sit back and ignore it, we will only I'm afraid that our army will be completely defeated on the Duji battlefield.
When Ningnan's millions of troops return to China, all the achievements our army has made will be lost.
Ningnan will even be able to seize the opportunity to send troops to counterattack our country.
It’s dangerous.”
Tang Ling bit her lower lip and was silent for a long time.
She said, "I understand what Axiu said.
However, I am just afraid that I will not be able to give birth to this child.
I am afraid that the child will be without a mother as soon as he is born.
I am afraid that the child will be dead as soon as he is born."

No more father" Before she could finish her words, Shangguanxiu had already embraced Tang Ling in his arms.
He lowered his head, smelled the fragrance of her bun, and said, "The child can't be born again, but the fragrance can't be lost."
As he spoke, he took out a brocade box from his arms and stuffed it into Tang Ling's hands.
"Axiu" "Open it and take a look."
Tang Ling opened the brocade box curiously.
There was a blood-red projectile inside, but the strange thing was that the projectile continued to emit red mist, as if it would melt away at any time, and the pellet it dispersed was...
The smell of blood was disgusting, as if it was the smell of the blood of thousands of people gathered together.
She hurriedly closed the lid of the brocade box, couldn't help but hold her chest, retched a few times, and drank a few sips of tea to suppress the nausea.
She frowned and asked, "Axiu, what the hell is this?"
"Blood Spirit Pill" Shangguan Xiu said: "One Blood Spirit Pill is enough to change a person's body.
When Xiang'er is giving birth, if she is worried about her life, she can take the Blood Spirit Pill.
Not only can she save her life, but she can also change her body."
When Tang Ling heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.
She picked up the brocade box again and looked at it.
It turned out that this was the most precious treasure in the world, the Blood Spirit Pill, that A Xiu had mentioned before.
She looked up at Shangguan Xiu and asked: "Axiu, after taking the Blood Spirit Pill, I can really be reborn and practice spiritual martial arts."
Shangguan Xiu nodded with a smile and said: "While being reborn, you can also lay a foundation for spiritual martial arts and improve your own cultivation to above the spiritual realm.
Your future training will be more effective with half the effort."
Shangguan Xiu has personal experience with the magical effects of the Blood Spirit Pill.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the Blood Spirit Pill can be as famous as Tianxiang Cardamom.
Tang Ling had a look of surprise on her face.
So, in the future, she could also practice spiritual martial arts with Axiu, and even achieve enlightenment together.
Thinking of this, she subconsciously clenched the brocade box in her hand.
After being excited for a while, she asked: "Axiu, what will happen if I take the Blood Spirit Pill now?"
"No" Shangguan Xiu stopped him hastily.
"why" "It's better to wait until your life is in danger to take it."
Tang Ling looked at him in confusion.
After thinking for a while, she asked cautiously: "Would taking it now cause harm to the child?"
Shangguanxiu nodded silently.
Not only does it cause damage, when it is reborn, the physical body will be reorganized.
The fetus in the mother's belly will be used as nutrients, absorbed by the mother, and finally turned into white thick water.
Shangguanxiu has personally experienced all of these, although what he absorbed at the time was the strange fish in the underground rivers.
"It will cause harm to the child."
Tang Ling slowly loosened his grip on the brocade box and placed it back on the dragon bookcase.
She raised her hand and gently touched her bulging belly and said, "I will not let anyone hurt our child."
"I'm not asking Xiang'er to hurt him."
Shangguan Xiu put the brocade box into Tang Ling's hands again and said softly, "Xiang'er just needs to remember that when your life is in danger, you must take it."
Shangguanxiu was also full of expectations for this little life that was about to be born, but compared to Tang Ling, she was far more important than the child.
After all, Tang Ling accepted the Blood Spirit Pill and said, "Axiu, don't worry, I'll take it when I'm ready to take it."
Shangguanxiu sighed secretly, rubbed Tang Ling's shoulders, and said nothing.
The war ahead was critical, and Shangguan Xiu couldn't wait until Tang Ling arrived before setting off on the expedition.
Shangguan Xiu set the date of the expedition two days later, and accompanying him to the Duji front line were the fourth and fifth legions of the Zhenjun Army.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the day of the expedition, Tang Ling and hundreds of civil and military officials saw him off.
In addition, hundreds of thousands of people came out of Shangjing to see him off.

Tang Ling and Shangguan Xiu were riding in the same car.
She held his hand tightly and warned repeatedly: "This time we go to Duji, the enemy is outnumbered, so Axiu must be more careful."
"Don't think you are smart.
Wu Gaoqiang always goes to charge into battle.
There are so many generals in the army, and they can all be vanguards."
Listening to Tang Ling's endless chatter, Shangguan Xiu not only didn't feel upset, but felt warm in his heart.
He held Tang Ling's hand and said with a smile: "Wars are never dangerous.
I have survived strong winds and waves, let alone this little Du Ji, Xiang'er doesn't have to worry about me."
Tang Ling was still very confident in Shangguan Xiu's abilities.
As long as he didn't show off, and if he wanted to run away, no one could stop him.
She said: "If we can fight this battle, we can fight it.
If we can't fight it, Axiu will lead his troops and withdraw, and we can start all over again."
"Ningnan has been separated for hundreds of years, and we are not in a hurry.
Recharge our batteries and fight again."
It’s not too late to achieve great things.”
Shangguan Xiu looked up and smiled and said: "When this battle is over, I will take Xiang'er and Huang'er to Tianjing for a trip."
Tang Ling was amused by his almost fantastic words.
She pinched his waist and said coquettishly, "Nothing serious."
The parting atmosphere between Shangguan Xiu and Tang Ling was quite relaxed.
After all, this was not Shangguan Xiu's first expedition, and Tang Ling was used to it.
The parting atmosphere between Cai Xiao and Cai Huang was much more solemn.
This was Cai Huang's first expedition to lead an army.
He was going to fight in Duji, which was so far away, and the Feng army was still at a disadvantage.
Cai Xiao's heart was naturally One hundred and twenty are worried.
Long trumpets sounded continuously, which was the last signal before the army set off for battle.
The soldiers who were saying goodbye to their relatives and friends one after another said goodbye to their relatives and friends and returned to the queue.
Cai Huang looked back at the army that was ready to go, and then at his old father, who was already in his dying years.
He knelt on his knees, coughed three times in succession, and said in a hoarse voice: "If the child fails to fulfill his filial piety, he still needs to look to his father."
Don’t be sad for your son, take care of yourself.”
Hearing this, Cai Xiao and Cai Hui were both shocked.
The father and son said in unison: "Huang'er" "Second brother" Cai Huang stood up from the ground and said: "There are no generals who are victorious in the army, there are only martyrs who died on the battlefield.
In this expedition, I am determined to die and become a benevolent person.
If I fail to return home, I ask my eldest brother to do it for me." filial piety" Cai Hui's eyes were wet and red, and he choked and said: "Second brother" Cai Huang bowed deeply to Cai Hui, then turned to leave without further delay.
Cai Xiao took the lead, grabbed his arm, and said in a deep voice: "Huang'er, we won't join the army anymore.
This legion commander will be whoever wants to be.
We won't go to the front line to fight."
Cai Huang slowly shook his head and said, "Fathers love their children, but why don't they also love their own children?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the crowds of old people around him and said meaningfully: "They can send their children to the battlefield, why can't our Cai family, if everyone feels sorry for their children, don't want their son to go to war?"
, who else can fight for the country and who can kill enemies for the country?"
Cai Xiao was speechless.
After holding it for a long time, he seemed to have aged several years.
He slowly let go of Cai Huang's arm and said with a wry smile: "My son has grown up."
Now there is no trace of the cunningness of a businessman in Cai Huang.
Instead, he is full of the ability and righteousness of a soldier.
He fights for the country, not asking for rich clothes and food, but for killing himself and becoming a benevolent person to strengthen the country's prestige.

Shangguan Xiu led the fourth and fifth legions of the Zhenjun Army, departing from Shangjing and rushing to the Duji battlefield.
The march lasted for nearly two months.
During these two months, the Duji battlefield had undergone considerable changes.
Led by Shi Xiao, more than 200,000 Feng troops who were trapped between Haji and Qiao were completely wiped out by the Ningnan army.
Under the protection of a group of close friends, Shi Xiao finally managed to fight his way back to Qi.
Austrian city.
Then he led more than 100,000 wind troops in Qiao City to break through to the west.
Along the way, he encountered countless Ningnan troops who were chasing and intercepting them.
After experiencing dozens of hand-to-hand battles, Shi Xiao finally led his troops to withdraw.
To the west of Duquay.
But after this battle, there were four legions and a total of 400,000 troops.
In the end, not even 60,000 people escaped with Shi Xiao.
Tang Wenbin, commander of the 18th Army, was killed in action, Hu Yuan, commander of the 19th Army, was killed in action, Sha Ke, commander of the 20th Army, and Duan Zhiqing, commander of the 17th Army, was seriously injured.
After this battle, three of the four commanders of the Northern Army of the Feng Kingdom were killed and one was seriously injured.
They were eliminated in name only.
The Ninth Army Corps, headed by Qi Fei, and the Tenth Army Corps, headed by Nie Zhen, came to the rescue.
In the Zawo area west of Duji, they had a head-on confrontation with the three Ningnan Army Corps that were chasing them.
In this battle, the strength of the two sides was about the same.
The Ningnan Army had 300,000 troops, while the Feng Army had two reorganized legions plus the remnants of Shi Xiao's troops.
Together, they had 260,000 troops.
But now Shi Xiao was completely frightened by Ning Nan's army and had no intention of fighting.
Not long after the confrontation between the two sides, he hurriedly ordered a retreat.
In this battle, the Feng army was still defeated, and they were defeated three hundred miles away. .
