Zetian Hall, side hall.
A hand-drawn map was spread out on the table.
There were only a few people standing at the table, Qin Yin, Feng Jixing, Lin Muyu, Su Muyun, Tang Lan and Tang Xiaoxi.
Tang Xiaoxi had just arrived from the Duke's Palace and learned that many things had happened.
Afterwards, I felt extremely distressed.
Feng Jixing reached out and touched the map and said: "From the northern border of Yunzhong Province to the Qinling Mountains, there are 1,400 miles in total, of which 700 miles are insurmountable cliffs and deep mountains, and the other 700 miles are the tributaries of the Daojiang River, which crosses The entire central part of the empire is enough to stop the demons' attack.
Fortunately, Ayu ordered all the bridges to be demolished before coming, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. " Qin Yin said: "Commander Feng, please continue."
Feng Jixing nodded and continued: "Although according to A Yu, the demons are not good at water, it is difficult to determine whether they will commandeer the fishing boats on the east bank to cross the Dao River, so I suggest building a city on the west bank of the Dao River.
Build seven fortresses, one for every hundred miles, and a camp every ten miles.
There must be cavalry patrolling every mile to closely monitor every move of the demons. " Su Muyun frowned and said, "Are there any letters sent from the direction of Lingdong Province and Tongtian Province?"
"No."
Feng Jixing shook his head and said: "The two major eastern provinces have completely fallen into the hands of the demons.
All the imperial troops there should have been wiped out, so there is no need to expect any news there."
Su Muyun took a deep breath and said, "Ayu has been recruiting troops in Muyu City for the past six months.
We can mobilize about 150,000 troops to guard the fortress.
Is there still a shortage?"
Feng Jixing said: "Que, each fortress has at least 30,000 to 50,000 troops stationed.
That's nearly 300,000 troops.
The main force of the imperial army must stay in the imperial capital.
So, Duke Lan, how many troops can you send?"
Tang Lan was startled and said, "Xiang Yu has 100,000 troops in Cangnan Province, who can go to guard the banks of the Dao River."
"That's good.
There is still something missing, and Ayu's Temple Camp and Gentian Camp can make up for it."
On the side, Qin Yin said: "Grandpa, Duke Lan, I plan to re-activate Brother Ayu.
I hope you will not object.
I believe that Brother Ayu's ability to lead troops is obvious to all.
I will re-promote Brother Ayu to the rank of third-grade national protector general.
He was re-appointed as the commander of the Gentian Battalion, with Wei Qiu and Qin Yan as deputy commanders.
In order to resist the invasion of the demons, the Gentian Battalion can expand its army without any upper limit. " Su Muoyun took a deep look at Qin Yin and said, "If Xiao Yin feels that she has the ability to mobilize the Gentian Battalion, then expand the army.
Grandpa will no longer object."
Tang Lan bowed his head and said: "Your Highness, no army in the empire can expand without limit, otherwise the world will be in chaos.
I suggest that the strength of the Gentian Battalion plus the Temple Battalion should not exceed 50,000 at most."
"Okay, just follow Duke Lan's words."
Qin Yin nodded readily, turned around and said, "Come here, I will issue an edict to promote Lin Muyu to the rank of General Protecting the Country, and re-appoint him as the commander of the Gendan Battalion.
The Gendan Battalion is included in the third rank of the imperial military system.
The legion is allowed to expand by 50,000.
In addition, the Imperial Navy is summoned to command Bailitang."
"yes" A few minutes later, a general stepped into the side hall.
He was about 40 years old, with a weathered look on his face.
He clasped his fists respectfully and said: "Navy Commander Baili Cang comes to see the Empress."
Qin Yin nodded and said, "Well, just listen to your orders."
"yes" Tang Lan raised his head and glanced at Su Muyun, then at Qin Yin and Lin Muyu, and said, "Your Highness, the demons are invading in large numbers.
Which general will your Highness be entrusting with the important task of resisting the demons this time?"
Qin Yin smiled slightly and said: "Who does Duke Lan intend to appoint?"
"Xiang Yu is both civil and military, has repeatedly accomplished extraordinary feats, is loyal, and decisive in killing.

The old minister suggested that Xiang Yu be the commander-in-chief along the Daojiang River."
"Xiang Yu" Qin Yin raised the corner of her mouth and said: "General Xiang Yu is indeed brave, but this time his opponent is the demon clan, not the Yihe Kingdom anymore.
Although Xiang Yu is strong, he lacks flexibility.
In my opinion, he should let Feng Yu The commander-in-chief will continue to take on the important task of resisting the demons this time."
Tang Lan said: "Feng Jixing is still young and I'm afraid he won't be able to serve as the marshal of the armed forces.
I hope your highness will be cautious."
Qin Yin pursed her red lips and said, "Then I won't make him a commander, but just appoint Feng Ji as the supreme commander along the Dao River.
Does Lan Gong think this is okay?"
"I will obey His Majesty's will" Tang Lan's expression was extremely respectful, but with such respectful words, he resolved Qin Yin's plan to become the commander-in-chief.
There is only one marshal of the empire.
Once Feng Jixing is canonized as marshal by the empress, he will have the supreme status in the imperial army.
As long as he is willing, the military power of the empire will slowly be transferred from the hands of Tang Lan and Su Muyun.
However, Qin Yin was not disappointed, at least she had won the position of the former army commander.
Feng Ji was cautious and resourceful, and he would definitely be more prepared than Xiang Yu when facing the enemy demons.
"That's good."
Qin Yin looked at everyone with a pair of bright eyes and said: "This time we resisted the demons.
No one should be neglected.
Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed.
Feng Jixin, the supreme commander of the front army, ordered the entire army.
General Baili Cang, you are the commander of the navy.
You must obey General Feng’s orders this time.”
"yes" Baili Cang clasped his fists and said: "One hundred and fifty naval warships and thirty thousand naval troops are at the command of General Feng."
"good" Qin Yin nodded and said: "Each of the seven fortresses on the Daojiang River tributaries appoints a general, and immediately prepares a list and gives it to me.
Among them, Lin Muyu leads the Gendan Battalion to guard one fortress alone.
There is no problem, right?"
Tang Lan and Su Muyun clasped their fists together: "Yes."
Lin Muyu also nodded respectfully: "Yes."
"Then make preparations.
The craftsmen and materials used will be transported to Cangnan Province immediately.
The army will set off in three days.
Whether you can defeat the demon army on the Dao River depends on you."
"Yes, your highness, don't worry."
As for Feng Jixing, Qin Yin and others questioning him about the God-Binding Lock, Lin Muyu could only speak vaguely, saying that the God-Binding Lock had inadvertently understood the God-Binding Lock.
And know it.
Soon after, the Minister of War handed over the seal and ribbon of General Protector to Lin Muyu again, and also put on him the military rank insignia of the commander's position.
The three gold stars shined particularly brightly, while Qin Yin left Lin Muyu and Tang Xiaoxi together in the evening.
After dinner, the royal family also kept everything simple, so dinner consisted of a pot of stewed meat and a few side dishes.
Tang Xiaoxi looked at Lin Muyu with watery eyes and said, "It's been two months since Mumu left Lingdong.
I don't know how long it will take to go to Cangnan Province to guard the border this time."
Lin Muyu smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Xi, maybe it will be over soon."
Qin Yin looked at Lin Muyu with her beautiful eyes full of nostalgia, and asked in a soft voice: "Ayu, do you think we will win?"
"meeting."
Lin Muyu said with a firm look: "The demons are indeed very strong, but as long as we avoid wild battles on the plains and engage in water battles or city defense battles with them, the demons are not good at these, we can win."
"Why is brother Ayu so sure?"
Qin Yin asked again.

Lin Muyu smiled: "Because the weapons of the demons are very clumsy, and some are made of bronze.
Compared with the empire's weapon-making skills, they are like three-year-old children.
This shows that although the demons are powerful, they There is no advanced technology, and there are no skilled craftsmen, so it can be inferred that the demons do not know how to build ships or build siege equipment.
This is our biggest advantage, but " He showed a hint of worry.
"Nothing."
Qin Yin looked at him faintly.
Lin Muyu's heart sank, and she said: "But not everyone in the Demon Clan is a fool like the Armored Demon.
There are also smart people.
Otherwise, Dongshuang City will not be breached so easily.
What I am most worried about is that the Demon Clan will not be defeated all the way from Lingshuang City."
When Dongxing Province and Tongtian Province come over, they may enslave human craftsmen to build what they need.
Therefore, the faster the defense arrangements on the Daojiang tributaries are made, the better.
We don’t have much time, and the advantages are not permanent. ” “So that’s how it is” Qin Yin pursed her red lips, smiled suddenly, gave Lin Muyu a piece of meat, and said, "Brother Ayu, eat more."
"Um."
At this time, Tang Xiaoxi looked at Lin Muyu faintly and said: "Mumu, I heard that after more than ten days of food shortage in Dongshuang City, you have eaten up all the food in the city."
"Um."
Lin Muyu nodded: "I have tasted almost all the wild things like tree bark, grass roots, rats, and snakes in Dongshuang City."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" The two beauties frowned together.
Lin Muyu couldn't help but smile, thinking that they should stay away from the war in the first place, but the most ruthless part of the war is that it does not distinguish between anyone.
When the war comes, no one can avoid it.
After dinner, Tang Xiaoxi promised to dispatch 20,000 troops from Zhenyao Pass to Lin Muyu's command, and gave the Gentian Camp 5,000 fine-breed war horses.
In this way, the Temple Camp had 15,000 troops, plus Gentian The one thousand people in the camp, plus the people given by Tang Xiaoxi, there are 36,000 people.
Guarding a fortress should not be a problem.
After nightfall, Tang Xiaoxi led a white war horse to the temple.
"Princess Xi is here" Ge Yang smiled and said hello: "Don't think about it, I must be here to see the Archdeacon."
"Yes, Deacon Geyang, where is Mumu?"
"It's in the inner hall.
I'll take you there."
"good" Under the flickering candlelight, Lin Muyu was discussing the details of dispatching troops with Wei Chou, Qin Yan and others.
When he looked up, he saw Tang Xiaoxi coming in leading a war horse.
She couldn't help but laugh: "Xiao Xi, why are you coming here so late?
Would you like to have supper with me?"
"Girls can't eat too many late-night snacks, or they will gain weight."
Tang Xiaoxi pouted her lips and said with a smile: "But I came here to give you a BMW.
What do you think of this horse?"
Lin Muyu looked over and saw that the horse still looked like a pony.
It was a little immature, but very strong.
It had pure white hair all over its body, but there was a circle of black hair above its four hooves.
It looked very good-looking.
"This horse is called Ta Xue."
Tang Xiaoxi said with a smile: "Guess who her father is."
"It can't be Brother Feng, right?"
Lin Muyu said with a smile.
Tang Xiaoxi also burst into laughter: "Commander Feng can't give birth to such a good breed.
Her father is a Jedi.

Your fast horse died in the battle.
In fact, before the Jedi died in the battle, my snow pear was pregnant and gave birth to a child."
It’s this Taxue horse, named after Xiao Yin, so this Taxue horse is presented to you by me and Xiao Yin together, do you like it?”
"like" Lin Muyu stretched out her hand and caressed the war horse's forehead, and immediately felt a sense of connection.
Everything in the world was so magical, and the Taxue horse seemed to be able to sense that Lin Muyu was once her father's master, and it immediately became happy
