Zetian Palace, side hall.

A hand-painted map spread out on the table, with only a few people standing by the table, Qin Yin, Feng Jixing, Lin Muyu, Su Muyun, Tang Lan and Tang Xiaoxi, Tang Xiaoxi had just arrived from the Duke's Mansion. After learning that many things had happened, he felt very distressed.

Feng Jixing reached out and pressed on the map, saying: "From the northern border of Yunzhong Province to the Qinling Mountains, there are a total of 1,400 miles along the way, of which 700 miles are insurmountable cliffs and deep mountains, and the other 700 miles are the tributaries of Daojiang. This river crosses the entire central part of the empire, which is enough to stop the attack of the demons. Fortunately, Ayu ordered the demolition of all the bridges before coming, otherwise... the consequences would be unimaginable."

Qin Yin said: "President Feng, please continue to speak."

Feng Jixing nodded and continued, "Although according to Ayu, the demons are not good at water, it is difficult to determine whether they will recruit fishing boats from the east coast to cross the Daojiang River. So I suggest building a city on the west coast of Daojiang River, establishing seven fortresses, one fortress per hundred miles, one camp per ten miles, and cavalry must patrol every mile to closely monitor the demons' every move."

Su Muyun frowned and said, "Lingdong Province, is there a feather book sent to Tongtian Province?"

"No." Feng Jixing shook his head and said, "The two eastern provinces have completely fallen into the hands of the demons. The imperial army there should have been all destroyed, so there is no need to hope for any news there."

Su Muyun took a deep breath and said, "Ayu has been recruiting troops in Muyu City for the past six months. Can we mobilize about 150,000 troops to guard the fortress. Is it still lacking?"

Feng Jixingdao: "In short, each fortress has at least 300,000 to 50,000 troops. This is nearly 300,000 troops. The main force of the imperial guards must stay in the imperial capital, so... how many troops can you send, Mr. Lan."

Tang Lan was stunned and said, "Xiang Yu has 100,000 troops in Cangnan Province, so he can go to guard the Daojiang River."

"That's good, there is still a little lack. 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 don't object. I believe that Brother Ayu's ability to lead troops is obvious to all. I will promote Brother Ayu to the third-rank national protection general and re-appoint it as the commander of the Longtan Camp, Wei Qiu and Qin Yan as the deputy commander. In order to resist the invasion of the demons, the Longtan Camp can expand its army without limiting its military strength."

Su Muyun looked at Qin Yin deeply and said, "If Xiao Yin feels that she has the ability to call the Longtian Camp, then expand the army. Grandpa will not object anymore."

Tang Lan bowed and said, "Your Highness, no army in the empire can expand its troops without limit, otherwise there will be chaos in the world. The old minister suggested that the troops of the Longtan Camp and the Temple Camp be no more than 50,000 at most."

"Okay, let's follow the words of Mr. Lan." Qin Yin nodded happily and turned around and said, "Come here, I issued an edict to promote Lin Muyu to the general of the country protection and re-appoint it as the commander of the Longtan Camp. The Longtan Camp is included in the Third Corps of the Imperial Army, and the expansion of 50,000 troops is allowed. In addition, the commander of the Imperial Navy Baili Cang is summoned."

"yes."

A few minutes later, a general stepped into the side hall. He was about 40 years old, his face was covered in wind and frost and he respectfully clasped his fists: "The navy commander Baili Cang met the empress."

Qin Yin nodded and said, "Well, let's listen to the order."

"yes."

Tang Lan looked up at Su Muyun, then looked at Qin Yin and Lin Muyu, and said, "Your Highness, the demon clan has launched a large-scale invasion. Which general does Your Highness plan to hand over the important task of resisting the demon clan this time?"

Qin Yin smiled and said, "Who is Mr. Lan going to appoint?"

"Xiang Yu has both civil and military achievements, has made great achievements repeatedly, is loyal and decisive in killing. The old minister suggested that Xiang Yu be the head coach along the Daojiang River."

"Xiang Yu."

Qin Yin raised her lips and said, "General Xiang Yu is brave, but his opponent this time is the demon clan, and he is no longer the country of Yihe. Although Xiang Yu is strong, he lacks flexibility. In my opinion, Feng Jixing should be the leader of the demon clan this time."

Tang Lan said: "Feng Jixing is still young, so I am afraid he cannot be the marshal of the three armies. I hope your highness will be cautious."

Qin Yin pursed her red lips and said, "Then I won't be a general. I just appoint Feng Ji as the supreme commander along the Daojiang River. Lan Gong believes that this is possible."

"Abide by your Highness's will."

Tang Lan's expression was extremely respectful, but with such respectful words, he resolved Qin Yin's plan, Feng Zheng.

There was only one marshal of the Empire. Once Feng Jixing was enthroned as marshal by the empress, he would have a supreme position in the imperial army. As long as he had the will, the imperial military power would slowly be transferred from Tang Lan and Su Muyun's hands. However, Qin Yin was not disappointed. At least he had won the position of the commander of the former army. Feng Ji was cautious and resourceful, and would definitely be more appropriate than Xiang Yu when facing the enemy demons in the face of the battle.

"That's OK."

Qin Yin looked at everyone with bright eyes and said, "This time, no one should be neglected when resisting the demon clan. Those who violate the order shall be killed. Feng Ji acted as the supreme commander of the former army and ordered the entire army. General Baili Cang, you are the commander of the navy. This time you must obey General Feng's orders."

"yes."

Baili Cang clasped his fists and said, "The navy has 150 warships, and 30,000 naval troops obey General Feng's orders."

"good."

Qin Yin nodded and said, "Each of the seven fortresses in Daojiang tributaries appoints a chief general. I will immediately prepare a list and hand it over to me. Among them, Lin Muyu led the Longtan Camp to guard a fortress alone, so there is no question."

Tang Lan and Su Muyun clasped their fists together: "Yes."

Lin Muyu also nodded respectfully: "Yes."

"Then prepare it. The craftsmen and materials used are transported to Cangnan Province immediately. Three days later, the army will set off. Whether it can defeat the demon army on Daojiang depends on you."

"Yes, don't worry, Your Highness."

As for Feng Jixing, Qin Yin and others asked about the matter of the God-Binding Lock, Lin Muyu could only vaguely say that the God-Binding Lock inadvertently understood the God-Binding Lock. Perhaps it was an accident of the number of days, and it was unknown as to bloodlines or something.

...

Not long after, the Minister of War handed over the seal of the General of the Protecting the Country to Lin Muyu again, and also wore the military rank emblem for him as the commander's title. Three Venus stars were particularly shining, while Qin Yin left Lin Muyu in the evening, Tang Xiaoxi had dinner together, and everything used by the royal family was simple, so a pot of meat and a few side dishes were considered a dinner party.

Tang Xiaoxi looked at Lin Muyu with a look of water and said, "Mu Mu has been to Lingdong for two months. I don't know how long it will take to guard the border when I go to Cangnan Province again this time."

Lin Muyu smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Xi, don't worry, maybe it will be very soon."

Qin Yin looked at Lin Muyu with beautiful eyes full of longing, and asked softly: "Ayu, do you think we will win?"

"meeting."

Lin Muyu said with a firm look: "The demon clan is indeed very strong, but as long as we avoid field battles on the plains, fight against them in water or defend the city, the demon clan is 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, some of them are bronze weapons, and compared with the empire's weapons casting skills, they look like three-year-olds. This shows that although the demons are powerful, they do not have advanced craftsmanship, and they do not have excellent craftsmen. This can be inferred that the demons cannot build ships or build siege equipment. This is our greatest advantage, but..."

He showed a look of worry.

"But what." Qin Yin looked at him quietly.

Lin Muyu felt a little nervous and said, "But not everyone in the demon clan is a fool like the armored demon. There are also smart people, otherwise Dongshuang City would not be broken so easily. What I worry most is that the demon clans come from Lingdong Province and Tongtian Province. They may enslave human craftsmen to build what they need for them. Therefore, the faster the defense arrangement on the Daojiang tributary, the better. We don't have much time, and the advantage is not forever."

"So that's what it is..."

Qin Yin pursed her red lips, suddenly smiled, and put a piece of meat on Lin Muyu, saying, "Brother Ayu eats more."

"Um."

At this time, Tang Xiaoxi looked at Lin Muyu quietly and said, "Mumu, I heard that after the food was cut off in Dongshuang City for more than ten days, you have eaten all the food in the city..."

"Um."

Lin Muyu nodded: "Barrow, grass roots, rats, snakes... I have almost tasted all of these in the wild in Dongfrost City..."

"Woo woo..." The two beauties frowned together.

Lin Muyu couldn't help but smile, thinking that they should have stayed away from war, but the most ruthless thing about war is that they don't distinguish anyone. When war comes, no one can avoid it.

...

After dinner, Tang Xiaoxi promised to dispatch 20,000 troops from the Demon Sword Pass to Lin Muyu for command, and gave them 5,000 excellent war horses of the Longtan Camp. In this way, the Temple Camp has 15,000 troops, plus 1,000 people from the Longtan Camp, and 36,000 people given by Tang Xiaoxi. It should not be a problem to guard a fortress.

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, you must be here to find the deacon."

"Yes, Brother Ge Yang, where is Mu Mu?"

"It's right in the inner hall, I'll take you there."

"good."

Under the swaying candlelight, Lin Muyu was discussing the details of the troops with Wei Qiu, Qin Yan and others. When she looked up, she saw Tang Xiaoxi leading a war horse in. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Xiaoxi, I'm here so late, are you going to have a midnight snack with me?"

"Girls can't eat too much midnight snack, they will gain weight."

Tang Xiaoxi pouted and smiled, "But I came here to give you a BMW. Look... how is this horse?"

Lin Muyu looked over and saw that the horse seemed to be a pony, slightly tender, but very strong, with pure white hair all over, but there was a circle of black hair above the four hooves, which looked very beautiful.

"This horse is called Taxue." Tang Xiaoxi said with a smile: "Guess who her father is."

"It's not Brother Feng..." Lin Muyu said with a smile.

Tang Xiaoxi also laughed: "General Feng can't give birth to such a good breed... Her father is Jedi, your fast horse that died in battle. In fact, before the Jedi died in battle, my snow pear was pregnant. The child she gave birth to was this snow, and the name was Xiaoyin, so this snow was equivalent to the gift from Xiaoyin and I to you. Do you like it?"

"like."
