Yang Yanzhao ordered Cao Wei to lead the Feiyun Cavalry and the 20,000 elite troops of the Second Army to the northeast to continue pursuing the remnants of the Wanyan army, while he led the main force to the northwest. According to the secret order of His Royal Highness the Regent, while attacking and conquering scattered small tribes, he also spied on the military situation between the tribes in the northwest.

Two months later, a secret intelligence was sent back to the capital from the front line.

Regent Zhao Defang opened the secret report sent back by Yang Yanzhao with a serious expression.

On the vast Mongolian Plateau, there is the wealthy and powerful Turkic Naiman tribe in the west, the Turkic Kerait tribe which has been entrenched for many years in the middle, the Shatuo Wanggu tribe in the south, the Merkit tribe, the Forest People tribe, the Uighur tribe in the north, and the Tatars in the east.

The Mongolian tribe was divided into many small tribes in the central and eastern parts of the grassland. They were often bullied by the Tatar tribe and their strength was not very strong.

After reading this secret report, Regent Zhao Defang fell into deep thought, and then a cunning smirk appeared on the corner of his lips. It seems that the opponent is still a weak chicken who has not yet shown his edge! If I don't kill you now, will I wait for you to become a strong enemy before taking action?

"Yun Yi, I will write a secret order. Please send the messenger back to Yang Yanzhao. Ask him to recall Cao Wei and his army to return to Linhuang City for a rest and replenishment of military supplies. I will personally lead the Fourth Army to join him and attack the many tribes on the Mongolian Plateau."

Yun Yi found some oranges and squeezed out the juice, then watched the prince write the secret order. He took it, sealed it, put it into a bamboo flute, and went down to hand it to the messenger sent by Yang Yanzhao.

Three days later, on the day of the grand court session, the civil and military officials discovered that only the little emperor was sitting on the dragon throne, but His Royal Highness the Regent was nowhere to be seen.

The young emperor Zhao Wuji looked at the civil and military officials who were all questioning each other in a low voice with doubtful eyes, and smiled secretly in his heart, his little body standing straight.

"My dear ministers, the Regent uncle personally led his Mo Yun cavalry to the northern front to fight against the enemy the day before yesterday. You have something to report to the emperor, otherwise you can leave the court!" Zhao Wuji spoke in a long and steady voice, telling the news of his uncle's shocking move.

As he expected, the ministers were stunned at first, and then there was an uproar. The only ones who remained calm were a few important ministers in the cabinet who knew about the matter.

The twelve-year-old emperor Zhao Wuji still had a naughty childish heart. He smiled with curved eyebrows and tried hard to pull the corners of his mouth down, so as not to show too obviously his smug mood after seeing a joke.

Several important cabinet ministers could not help but laugh secretly. The little emperor repeatedly told them not to leak the news in advance, just to make a fool of themselves at today's court meeting. This was a naughty act of the emperor who still had a childlike innocence!

The young emperor Zhao Wuji raised his right hand with a dignified look on his face, and pressed it down like his uncle!

Sure enough, the noise gradually subsided...

The smile in the emperor's eyes became even more intense. I have learned this domineering, yet elegant and graceful move of my uncle so vividly and vividly, with great charm!

"My dear ministers, your uncle is the regent, but he still led the army to fight for the Song Dynasty regardless of his own safety and fatigue. I am ashamed that you and I are sitting back and enjoying the fruits of our labor in the peaceful and prosperous capital."

The Song Dynasty is yours, and the one who enjoys the fruits of your labor is you, Your Majesty! The civil and military officials secretly complained but dared not speak out, and could only lower their heads in shame.

The smile in the little emperor's eyes became even brighter. "My uncle and the soldiers are fighting bravely on the front line, and the stability of the rear is even more important. I hope that you will work harder, spare no effort, and conscientiously handle the various complicated court affairs properly, so as not to drag down the front-line army, and wait for the front-line soldiers to return triumphantly with a clear conscience!"

"Your Majesty is wise! ..."

"Your Majesty is wise!..."

The little emperor's eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled. "My dear ministers, if you have any government affairs to report, please report them immediately so that we can discuss them together!"

Luo Li held her two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Xiao Hongdou, and watched a dozen female officers from the Big Foot Women's Corps conduct a sand table military exercise. Yu Li and the members of the "Wei Feng" team watched and learned from the side without blinking.

The 1,009-strong Big Foot Women's Army consists of a staff, three battalions, and nine companies. Pang Ying is the commander of the first battalion, and Mulan'er is the chief of the staff. At this moment, the two of them, each holding a thin stick, stood in front of a large sand table model, engaging in an offensive and defensive battle between the blue and red armies.

Mulan'er's blue army defended, Pang Ying's red army attacked, deployed troops, attacked and defended, the two armies clashed, the battle was fierce, and the atmosphere in the room was tense along with the mood of both sides. Not only the graceful "Weifeng" team members watched attentively, even the usually lively and naughty little Hongdou, who was held by her mother, stared at the sand table without blinking.

Seeing Mulan'er cunningly use a group of defeated soldiers to lure Pang Ying's main force into a pocket formation, Luo Li forgot the rule of watching chess without saying a word, and couldn't help but smiled and reminded: "Pang Ying, you got into the pocket!"

Pang Ying's tall and sturdy body stood still, and he just replied in a muffled voice, "Captain, I saw it, but strength can overthrow all conspiracies and tricks!"

Sure enough, the powerful Pang Ying rushed and smashed through Mulan'er's pocket formation with his main force. After making a big hole in the pocket, he rushed straight to the opponent's camp.

Mulaner quickly deployed her troops and rearranged the next line of defense, and then mobilized the troops that had broken the pocket formation to chase after them.

In the end, Pang Ying paid a huge price and destroyed Mulan's camp. The Red Army won!

The players from both teams standing around the sand table and watching the game were talking excitedly, and were eager to find an opponent to start the second round.

Seeing her precious daughter staring at the sandbox in her arms, Luo Li whispered in her ear, "Little Red Bean, is it fun?"

"It's fun!" Little Red Bean answered in a baby voice, then turned to look at her mother and asked, "Mom, Aunt Yanqi and Aunt Ruoying said that you taught them this sand table game, but you can't beat them. Is that true?"

"Ah?...Ah!" Luo Li groaned awkwardly. As a mother, she couldn't lie to her child, so she had to answer honestly, "It's true. Although mother is very smart and can come up with this fun sand table game, mother is not a talented commander who can lead troops in battle. Therefore, she can't beat them in this game of two armies fighting each other."

Little Red Bean nodded in understanding: "I see. Mother is very good at everything else, but she can't beat them at this. My father is a talented general who can lead troops in battle. After he came back, he played this sandbox game for mother and killed them all!"

Yang Yanqi snatched Xiao Hongdou and held it up to examine it carefully. "Oh my god! Xiao Hongdou, are you only two and a half years old? How did you come up with such eloquent and logical words?"

The little Hongdou who was held high up giggled and looked down at Aunt Yanqi's face below, "Aunt Yanqi, I am a genius! Both the Royal Grandmother and the Grandmother said that I am the most beautiful and intelligent genius like my mother!"
