Chapter 1123 I will not move even if the enemy moves
Mrs. Wang got off the carriage about a hundred steps outside the Duanmen Gate.

Even on a hot day, she still wore a luxurious brocade robe embroidered with intricate gold patterns, which sparkled in the sun, making people dare not look directly at her.

She glanced around, her eyes sharp and filled with unquestionable majesty.

Wang Chang, Mo Han, Da Xi He Ruo and other important ministers and generals of the Dai State gathered around him, all bowing their heads.

Mrs. Wang walked towards Duanmen with light and steady steps, and every step seemed to measure the vastness of the grassland.

"Take good care of Shi Yijian and don't let him run around." Mrs. Wang said in a deep voice.

"Yes." It was General Mo Han from the Left who responded.

He followed behind Mrs. Wang, keeping a few steps away, walking slowly and respectfully.

"Recruit soldiers from Wuyuan as soon as possible. There's no need to wait until next autumn." Madam Wang said as she walked, "Keep a close eye on Dongmugen Mountain. Give the leaders of the Mobei tribes that are connected to them money and goods to paralyze them. After autumn, attack quickly on horseback. There's no need to capture them alive. Just kill them on the spot."

"Yes, sir." Wang Chang replied.

Mrs. Wang stopped and looked at everyone again.

The corners of her lips lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile, which made her look both noble and cold, yet also revealing a hint of elusive charm.

Wang Chang, Mo Han and Da Xi Heruo were fine as most of their followers were their own sons and nephews. At this moment, they all lowered their heads and blushed.

The lady's every move was elegant and calm, yet also full of charm.

When she started to speak, her voice was like a spring flowing through jade, so pleasant to the ears that they subconsciously wanted to obey.

Her demeanor is sometimes cold and stern, making people dare not breathe; and sometimes gentle, making people feel like a spring breeze. Overall, she is like the ever-changing wind and clouds on the grassland, unpredictable.

Occasionally, a charming smile hidden under her nobility and majesty would appear, just like a wild flower blooming in summer, which is fascinating.

How could young people resist such a woman with both majesty and charm, and a mature body? Sometimes their parents criticized Mrs. Wang in private, and they didn't even take it seriously. Or they knew that what their parents said made sense, but they subconsciously defended Mrs. Wang in their minds.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there are some ambitious people who want to revive the Tuoba Xianbei, defeat the Liang people, and rescue the lady.

Outside the Duanmen Gate, the guards of the Zuo Yulin Guard conducted a careful inspection and then let Madam Wang in, while the others were stopped outside.

Wang Chang and Mo Han found a shady place to sit down, while Da Xi Heruo dragged away several followers who were still standing there in a daze and slapped each of them in the face.

At his age, people have become much more realistic.

"General Wang, regarding the selection of elite soldiers from Dongmugen Mountain..." Da Xi Heruo said after sitting down in the shade.

"Five thousand people is a lot. Who will lead the army?" Wang Chang asked.

"Let the young men lead the troops, each with 500 cavalry and 500 infantry." Da Xi Heruo pointed at the followers who came over one after another and stood by, and said, "They are all our sons and nephews. Give them a chance to make merit."

"Okay." Wang Chang nodded in agreement.

The followers looked unhappy.

I heard that the Di Qiang couldn't stand the weather in the south and they had been there for more than half a year, so they were eager to withdraw their troops, and then they took over.

Someone subconsciously looked in the direction of Duanmen, feeling uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.

Wang Chang didn't care about what these young people thought. He was only thinking about how to conquer the increasingly unruly Mobei Gaoche tribe. This was something that the lady had specifically assigned him...

It was unknown how long it had been before someone came out from the Duanmen Gate, talked to Wang Chang and others, and then returned to the palace.

Wang Chang and others were not surprised and they each took their people away.

Hou San was running quickly with small steps, followed by two eunuchs, each holding a box of memorials.

After repeated inspections by the guards, the three men came to the outside of the Pepper Room and handed it over to a female official in the inner court.

Female officials were more popular in the Later Han Dynasty, including female attendants, female historians, female cavalrymen, female teachers, etc., but a complete system had never been formed. In many cases, low-ranking concubines in the palace served as female officials to assist the emperor and the empress.

This trend gradually subsided at the end of the Han Dynasty. In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there were female officials, but there was no system, and they were rarely seen in history books. They were often only mentioned in passing.

Although Daliang has been established for several years, the system has been constantly improving and reforming. As for female officials, concubines and female officials are now officially separated. Concubines are concubines, and female officials are female officials. This is a trend that is somewhat similar to the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

At that time, female officials could theoretically get married, but in reality this was not the case.

She stays by the emperor's side every day, acting as his assistant, and can only go home occasionally. But I don't know how many people dare to marry her - but don't tell me, don't tell me...

The person who took the memorial from Hou San was Shang Gong Cheng.

The Shang Gong was in charge of the receipt and issuance of documents, all of which were stamped and signed by the Shang Gong. In fact, she was in charge of the paperwork for various affairs of the harem. Sometimes, memorials sent from other courts were also managed by the Shang Gong.

The latter point is more important.

Generally speaking, the emperor held court meetings in the Taiji Hall in the front hall or held discussions in the east and west wings, and the paperwork was handled on the spot.

In the emperor's bedroom (not the harem area), there were also people like the Shizhong and Sanqi Changshi who could get close to the emperor and convey orders.

So what should be done when the emperor is sleeping in the harem and something has to wake him up? At this time, the eunuchs are relied upon.

The internal officials were divided into two categories: eunuchs and female officials. Cheng was the chief officer of the Shanggong Bureau, one of the six newly established internal official bureaus.

She was followed by four female historians, who jointly carried the box into the hall.

There was a faint sound coming from inside the hall.

"The Tuoba Xianbei are a great country in the north of Dai, commanding 200,000 cavalrymen. Your Majesty relies on them. I...I am the Grand Lady of Dai, respected by all the heroes of the tribes. Your Majesty should treat me with courtesy. How can you..."

"Madam, you might as well lower your head and take a look."

After a moment, the man smiled and said, "The door opens gently, and people come in and out, like a constant stream of water. When entering, it seems as if there is something urgent urging you, and when leaving, it seems as if you are trying to keep me here. The door hinges turn, creaking, and the grass and trees sway like water."

"I have marched out of Yanmen twice, and wherever my troops marched, all tribes surrendered. Ordinary women are tasteless to me, like chewing wax. Only when I enjoy you can I be satisfied."

"Your Majesty, I have been taught since childhood... well... I can only serve the Chanyu."

"How do I compare to the Chanyu?" Silence spread, with only the huge movement on the bed.

After a long time, the woman's slender neck suddenly stretched backwards, like a bent porcelain bottle, and her body slightly arched.

Her eyes were absentmindedly looking upwards, as if she was counting the patterns embroidered on the top of the tent. The patterns were so lifelike that they symbolized hundreds of descendants.

His hanging left hand pressed tightly against the edge of the bed, while his right fingertips created five silent folds on the brocade.

After a while, the woman's plaintive voice was heard: "Your Majesty, you have done it again... Even if three rivers of water are poured out, it cannot be washed away."

The man smirked and breathed heavily.

Cheng heard this from outside and secretly spat at them, calling them a pair of bastards.

She waved her hand, and several palace servants came in and began to change the bed and serve the cleaning.

Cheng looked at Mrs. Wang with some envy, her hair soaked and her face rosy, and felt that she was extremely beautiful at that moment.

"What's the matter?" Shao Xun looked at the sky outside. It was already dark.

Cheng had just put the memorials on the table. Upon hearing this, she took out the top one and handed it to Shao Xun.

Shao Xun was half lying on the couch, holding the beauty in his arms like a tyrant, reading memorials.

Wang rested her head on his chest, no longer dignified and elegant, but only charming and seductive, as she secretly looked at the words on the memorial.

It turned out that the Jin State's ships were heading north to Liaodong and were blown to Qingzhou by a strong wind. The envoy was captured by the government and sent to Luoyang.

After some interrogation, we finally figured out what happened.

Liu Kun submitted a memorial to Jianye, requesting that Murong Wei be appointed King of Yan, be given the title of General, and be ordered to send troops to "clear up the world." The Jin Emperor agreed.

He also said that Yuwen Qidegui was weak and could be attacked to unify the Murong and Yuwen tribes, and asked about the preparations.

Shao Xun frowned after reading it. Liu Kun's move was indeed path dependence, just like when he connected with Tuoba Yilu.

Cheng watched the man's expression from the side and then took out a second portion and handed it over.

Shao Xun took it and looked at it, and found that it was written by his fourth son Shao Yu.

"…On the seventh day of the sixth month, I left the northern entrance and encountered the Yuwen cavalry calling for help. I led dozens of light cavalry in disguise and went deep into the area. At the Bailang River, I spied on the unusual movements of the Murong tribe."

"The beacon towers were set up densely inside and outside Liaodong, and all the young men were given spears and halberds and trained in the wild every day. I captured prisoners and tortured them to find out that the armory was piled high with arrowheads and that there were more than a thousand newly tempered horse armors."

"A month ago, Wei Zi Murong Huang led several thousand elite cavalrymen to leave Yiwulv Mountain under the pretext of hunting, and his whereabouts are unknown."

"I bribed a gossipmonger to find out that Murong's envoys have been in and out of Yuwen's pasture several times, using the pasture and the tribe as bait to persuade the Turtle tribe to rebel."

"Another Murong envoy entered Youzhou and asked the Duan tribe Xianbei to join forces and divide the counties equally after the victory."

"I have observed the celestial phenomena again. Murong Wei's Golden Tent is filled with murderous aura. In addition, the geese in Liaoze have been startled and taken flight recently. These are all signs that war is about to break out. If we wait until they annex Yuwen, the situation will be difficult to replicate..."

Shao Xun felt a little ashamed after reading it.

While his son was disguised and deep in enemy territory, gathering intelligence, his father was playing with women in the rear. At the same time, he was also a little angry. Was what Hu Tou said true or false?

If it is true, then why didn't the Duan tribe Xianbei report it?
They might not have listened to Murong Xianbei's sweet words, but it is an indisputable fact that they concealed the matter in private and did not report it to the court.

Li Zhong's father died at the end of March this year, and he has returned home to mourn. In early May, Guanglu Dafu Yang Chen arrived in Youzhou to take over his position. He has only been in office for more than a month. Can he deal with this matter effectively?

"You want me to go back?" Wang asked softly, her breath sweet as orchid.

"This is just a small battle, it's not worth starting a war." Shao Xun patted Wang's hips, making a crisp sound, and said, "I just want to take precautions. In addition, the attack may have to be accelerated."

"Do you really not take the Murong clan seriously?" Wang asked, "In the past, when Cao Cao was fighting in the Central Plains, there were many people in the rear who started rebellions and harassed him, so he had to turn back to fight them."

"I have been fighting for more than 20 years, and I have no enemies that I cannot defeat." Shao Xun chuckled and said, "The primary goal is to enter Shu. After all, we have been resting for a year and a half since we took over the counties in northern Jing. If we attack Shu this winter, it may be a little difficult, but it is not impossible."

After that, he let go of the woman, stood up, and said, "I want to check the money and taxes and the arsenal of the palace before making any plans."

Seeing him stand up, two ladies came over with basins and washed them carefully.

Shao Xun touched someone's face.

The man shrank back a little and his face turned red.

This is Liu Cong's daughter, who grew up in the Ye Ting and knows nothing about the outside world. Now she can only kneel down at the crotch of her enemy and serve him with great care.

"Are you going to lead the army yourself?" Wang asked.

"I won't lead the expedition myself." Shao Xun shook his head and said, "But if we attack Liaodong in the future, I would be somewhat interested."

Wang was a little surprised.

Attacking Li Cheng is a war to destroy a country, and men are not interested in it.

Murong Xianbei only lived in a remote corner, but he was interested in leading an expedition personally. How strange!

Does Murong have such a big face?
"Dai State dispatched 30,000 cavalry and 30,000 more to march east to Yuyang to guard against the enemy." Shao Xun said, "Don't mess up my strategy. I don't want to be like Cao Mengde, who fought east and west, south and north, but gained nothing in the end."

Wang also stood up and stepped on the ground barefoot.

The creamy dew fell and dripped onto the dazzling gold thread of the gorgeous clothes, dimming it instantly, as if shattering some mysterious, noble and majestic thing.

Shao Xun quickly finished cleaning, put on the imperial robe, and stood up to leave.

Wang stared at the messy clothes on the ground, with a hint of self-mockery on her lips.

The stunningly beautiful lady put on the new clothes sent by the palace maids to cover up the bruises on her delicate body.

Shao Xun quickly went to Jianshi Hall and began to check the data. At the same time, he wrote an imperial edict, ordering the King of Han to go to Yuzhou to inspect the various mansions and pavilions, and also ordering the King of Qin to go to Guanzhong to inspect the mansions and pavilions and the armory. They were to set out the next day without any mistake.
