Chapter 560: After sealing the throne, he led the troops to the expedition
The eunuch served someone from the side hall and entered the main hall. Only then did everyone realize that the person the monarch said he was going to fight on his behalf turned out to be the imperial concubine!
Now there were whispers in the hall, how can a woman go to the battlefield and still be a general? Wouldn't this be a wasted loss of soldiers and a sure defeat?
Just as Da Situ was about to seriously explain that this was very inappropriate, the young king at the table waved his hand to signal him to stop talking.
"Everyone must have heard of Xiaobai's achievements after marrying me. A few years ago, she led a small team to kill horse bandits who were causing trouble in the country, which is enough to prove Her fighting ability.
She has also done many good deeds and is quite famous in the country. Now she is a high-status concubine in the harem. She has the qualification to fight on behalf of others, which can encourage the soldiers. "
Hearing what he said, some people fell silent. This woman is indeed capable. Thinking about it this way, it is not unacceptable.
In fact, the former king and the current king are not very proficient in leading troops in battle, but their presence will inspire the soldiers.
Da Situ said: "The imperial concubine captured only bandits a few years ago, not a serious army. If she faced the powerful soldiers of the Xu Kingdom, she would definitely be defeated and even humiliated. I hope the king will think twice." . ”
Everyone in the hall understood the meaning of his words. The monarch’s woman is still a beautiful woman, and she will definitely excite the enemy and do something disgraceful. They, Xiguo, can’t. You will suffer great shame and humiliation...
Xiaobai said loudly: "I know the reason why Da Situ does not agree with my going, and I will prove to you one by one that I am a suitable candidate."
Da Situ sneered and said: "Then the imperial concubine will prove herself first His military strength is better than that of General Dai today. "General Dai is his man, and he will become a true general as long as he has the chance.
Now that there is a war, it is also a good opportunity for him to make meritorious deeds and become a general as soon as possible. When the time comes, the day will come when the great Situ will be able to control the military and political affairs, and he will have power over the government and the public, and his family will be prosperous and wealthy, and his status will be high.
Da Situ never chooses incompetent people, General Dai is very capable. In his eyes, Xiaobai, a mere woman, could never be stronger than General Dai. This was just a tactic used by the monarch to avoid pro-government.
Xiao Bai bowed and saluted, "Since the Great Situ wants me to prove it, I will prove it to you and ask the general to come to the martial arts stage."
The Great Situ frowned. Why is this woman so indifferent? Just give up and let General Dai actually compete with her?
No matter he won or lost, General Dai’s face was not clean. The result of the discussion between the king and this woman was to let him, a grown man, hide behind the woman?
Da Situ's face was gloomy. Even if he felt that the third prince was now a stumbling block for him to climb to the peak of power, he did not want to see him hiding behind a woman. After all, his own blood was still flowing on his body.
“Da Situ, I know that you have good intentions and are worried that the imperial concubine will not be able to face the enemy. But I clearly understand the imperial concubine’s strength, and she is not lying.
Although the imperial concubine is a female, she I have also learned Taoism from immortals, and I am very capable. If you don’t believe it, let’s go to the martial arts field and see it together.”
"If the king insists, then I will go and have a look. If the imperial concubine fails, I will ask your majesty to fight in person."
The monarch's face was cold. He couldn't defeat the general on behalf of him. Why wasn't Da Situ afraid of him leading the three armies to meet? When something goes wrong, it shows that he has ulterior motives.
Now Xiaobai's dagger skills are very good, more than enough to deal with ordinary warriors, but after only twenty moves, General Dai was defeated and was forced to fall out of the ring by the imperial concubine.
When the officials saw this result, they were all shocked. They did not expect that the imperial concubine was a hidden martial arts master.
Since these days, she has been keeping a very low profile, rejecting all the concubines in the harem who want to win over her or seek refuge with her.
The ministers thought that the imperial concubine had been in Yongfu Palace for a long time and did not know how high the sky was. They thought that they could survive alone in the palace. Therefore, they despised her short-sightedness and thought that she was just like this and would not be able to survive. What to do.
Now I understand that the imperial concubine has absolute strength and can control far more things than ordinary concubines...
"Da Situ, I have won, but there are other things. "The test?"
Da Situ sneered, "On the battlefield, it does not rely on personal efforts. It relies heavily on the combat intuition and military skills of the leader. Is the imperial concubine good at this?" He was also deliberately tight? I bit the word "empress", hoping that she would recognize her identity and position. Xiaobai said confidently: "Over the years, the king has taught me many things, including leading troops in war. Last time I was suppressing bandits, I relied on these methods to cut off the head of the bandit leader. I believe I can do the same this time." Use these methods to win the country of Xu.”
"You are not ashamed of your words. Just lead the troops to grab the small flags and see who can grab more." This is a competition between two teams to compete for flags. There are 108 flags in total. The purpose is to exercise the commanding ability of the generals and hone the soldiers' ability. Team coordination ability.
"Yes."
Xiaobai also follows Tang Yue to learn the art of formation, and applies it to the art of war, easily winning this competition. Not only that, Da Sikong and others He won every contest that was proposed.
It was already midnight, and the monarch felt that since these "loyal ministers" were so difficult for a woman, it was not enough for her to participate in such and such competitions.
Then everyone will stay here with Xiaobai and not eat until everyone admits that Xiaobai led the army on his behalf.
After such competitions, he also understood that Xiaobai was really a military genius, but it was a pity that she was not a man.
But if other men had this ability, he would be wary. Fortunately, Xiaobai is his woman and will always think about him. Even if she wins the credit, it will be him who benefits.
General Dai is a man who respects strength, and I heard that the imperial concubine once practiced immortal magic, so it is not surprising that he lost.
Gradually, he became convinced of Xiaobai and said proactively: "I admire the imperial concubine's ability very much and am willing to obey her orders on the battlefield."
Da Situ saw that things developed like this , could only sigh secretly and accept the reality. The acting general admitted it, and the soldiers who came to watch the battle were convinced by the imperial concubine and accepted her becoming the commander-in-chief of the three armies.
The competitions he conducted not only did not make it difficult for this woman, but also gave her prestige in the military. It was really not worth the loss.
Can Taoism really make a person so powerful? After he returns home, he will definitely find a way to send his children and grandchildren to the fairy mountain to seek enlightenment.
The king is really lucky. He has the queen mother to help him scheme against the late king, and he also has this woman beside him to fight for him personally, so that he can be free to deal with him.
"Since everyone has no objections, I will make the imperial concubine my queen and fight on my behalf. Seeing her is like seeing a widow."
The first queen is not dead yet, so at this time, the title of queen is Very inappropriate. But at this time, the situation was special. The queen's personal conquest sounded more inspiring than the concubine's personal conquest, so no one objected, which was completely different from the initial attitude.
The most important thing is that they will starve to death if they stay any longer. Several older ministers already feel like they are going to faint from hunger.
Seven days later, Xiaobai led the army to the expedition.
When the Xu Kingdom in the South heard that the leader of the Xi Kingdom had sent his own queen to conquer the country, they all laughed at the fact that there was no one in the Xi Kingdom and actually let a woman take the lead. This time they snatched back the queen's "great general" , making the leader of Xi Country lose face.
But what they didn't expect was that they would be lucky enough to escape from her hands, not to mention getting the chance to snatch the queen.
This woman is very strange, and she can always find the weak points of their large forces, and then attack fiercely from there. She evacuates before reinforcements arrive, leaving no trace.
After appearing like this for several times, the number of soldiers in the Xu Kingdom dropped sharply, while the casualties in the Xi Kingdom's army were minimal.
This is because Tang Yue provided improved armor, which is lighter and can better protect vital points; Xiaobai's formation method has gradually become more proficient and powerful, suppressing the enemy to the maximum extent and protecting the enemy. soldier.
The queen is also very powerful. Ever since she single-handedly defeated an assassination team of dozens of people, the soldiers of the Xu Kingdom became frightened when they heard the word "queen".
