The princess arrives and the prosperous Tang Dynasty begins

Chapter 125 Military Deployment

In the court, the atmosphere was solemn and tense. Li Yi had a serious face, and his eyes revealed determination and decisiveness. He stood up straight, facing the ministers in the court, and said in a steady and powerful voice: "My dear ministers, the situation on the border is critical now, and the foreign enemy is invading. We must immediately discuss a countermeasure."

The ministers nodded one after another, their expressions serious. One of them stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "General Li is right. We should make a quick decision and strengthen the defense of the border."

Li Yi nodded slightly and continued, "I propose to send elite troops to the border to resist the invasion of foreign enemies. At the same time, we must ensure the supply of materials in the rear and the comfort of the people, so that the soldiers on the front line have no worries."

All the ministers agreed. At this time, Li Yi took a deep breath and said to the eunuch beside him: "Quickly report to the emperor that there is an urgent matter in the border area that requires an audience."

The eunuch took the order and left. Not long after, the emperor arrived. Everyone knelt down and saluted, shouting "Long live the emperor". The emperor walked up to the dragon throne, glanced at everyone majestically, and then said, "Stand up, Li Yi, what's the matter so urgent?"

Li Yi stepped forward respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, there is an invasion from foreign enemies on the border. The situation is critical. We have discussed and decided to strengthen the military defense of the border."

The emperor frowned slightly and asked, "So what are your specific plans?"

Li Yi elaborated in detail on the arrangements for sending elite troops to the border, supplying materials to the rear, and comforting the people. The emperor listened quietly and nodded from time to time. After Li Yi finished speaking, the emperor was silent for a moment, and then said: "Li Yi, I believe in your ability. This matter is fully handed over to you to arrange. I will give you my greatest support."

Li Yi was delighted and immediately knelt down to express his gratitude: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to your trust."

The emperor nodded and continued, "Also, I'll let Princess Lin Xiao assist you. She is thoughtful and will definitely help you handle matters at the rear."

Li Yi thanked him again and stood up. He turned to look at Princess Lin Xiao, who had a dignified face and a firm look in her eyes. Princess Lin Xiao nodded slightly at Li Yi, indicating that she was willing to help with all her strength.

Li Yi said gratefully: "Thank you, Princess. With your help, I am more confident."

Princess Lin Xiao said softly: "General Li, you are too polite. For the sake of the country and the people, this is what I should do."

Afterwards, Li Yi began to deploy military operations in detail. He summoned several capable generals to discuss the battle plan in a secret room.

Li Yi said seriously: "This time the foreign enemy is coming with great force, we must be fully prepared."

A general nodded and said, "General, you are right. We must make sure that every detail is considered carefully."

Li Yi continued, "I have decided to divide our elite troops into three groups. One group will meet the enemy head-on, one group will outflank the enemy from the flank, and one group will be a reserve group ready to provide support at any time."

The generals all agreed. At this time, Princess Lin Xiao came in. She looked at everyone and said, "General Li, I have arranged the supply of materials in the rear to ensure that the soldiers on the front line have enough food, fodder, weapons and equipment."

Li Yi looked at Princess Lin Xiao with gratitude and said, "Your Highness, you have worked hard. With Your Highness in the rear, our soldiers can fight with peace of mind."

Princess Lin Xiao smiled slightly and said, "This is my job."

Then, Li Yi and the generals discussed the tactical details in detail, including how to use the terrain, how to collect intelligence, etc. During the discussion, everyone expressed their opinions and the atmosphere was heated.

Li Yi said: "We must give full play to our advantages, make good use of our cavalry and archers, and deal a fatal blow to the foreign enemy."

One general added: “We must also pay attention to the enemy’s movements and adjust our strategy at any time.”

Princess Lin Xiao also made some suggestions: "We can organize the people in the rear and let them provide some help to the front line within their capacity."

Everyone nodded in approval of Princess Lin Xiao's suggestion. After some discussion, the battle plan was finally finalized.

Li Yi stood up and said with a firm look: "Everyone, this battle is related to the safety of the country and the survival of the people. We must go all out. If we don't succeed, we will die!"

The generals shouted in unison: "We are willing to follow the general and fight bravely against the enemy!"

Princess Lin Xiao also said: "I believe you will be able to return victoriously."

As the military deployment unfolded, the various troops began to move quickly. Li Yi personally led the elite troops to the border, while Princess Lin Xiao stayed behind to organize the supply of materials and the comfort of the people in an orderly manner.

During the march, Li Yi said to his deputy general: "We cannot afford to lose this battle. We must show our might."

The deputy general said firmly: "General, rest assured, our soldiers have already made preparations and will fight bravely against the enemy."

Li Yi nodded, his eyes revealing a desire for victory.

When they arrived at the border, the enemy had already begun to attack. Li Yi immediately commanded the troops to defend, and the archers fired thousands of arrows at the same time, causing considerable casualties to the enemy. Seeing that the situation was not good, the enemy temporarily retreated.

Li Yi looked at the direction where the enemy was retreating and said, "They won't give up. We must be prepared for a long-term battle."

The deputy general nodded and said, "The general is right. We must strengthen our fortifications and be ready for the next enemy attack at any time."

In the rear, Princess Lin Xiao was also busy working. She organized the people to deliver supplies and comfort the families who had lost their loved ones. The people expressed their gratitude to Princess Lin Xiao for what she had done.

One day, Princess Lin Xiao was organizing the people to transport food and grass, when suddenly a soldier came running to report: "Your Highness, the front line urgently needs a batch of medicinal materials. Many soldiers are injured."

Princess Lin Xiao frowned and said, "Organize people to purchase medicinal materials immediately and make sure they are delivered to the front line as soon as possible."

The soldiers took the order and left. Princess Lin Xiao looked at the busy people and prayed silently in her heart that Li Yi and the soldiers would be safe.

On the front line, Li Yi fought fiercely with the enemy. The enemy continued to attack, and Li Yi commanded his troops to resist tenaciously. In one battle, Li Yi's arm was shot by an enemy arrow, but he still insisted on commanding the battle.

When the deputy general saw that Li Yi was injured, he quickly said, "General, you are injured. Go and bandage it."

Li Yi shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. Now is a critical moment. I can't leave."

The deputy general had no choice but to continue to fight bravely with Li Yi. After several days of fierce fighting, the enemy was finally repelled. Li Yi and his soldiers won an important victory.

When the news of victory reached the rear, Princess Lin Xiao was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. She immediately organized the people to prepare a celebration banquet for the soldiers.

Li Yi and his soldiers returned triumphantly and were warmly welcomed by the people. At the celebration banquet, Li Yi raised his glass and said, "This victory is inseparable from the bravery of the soldiers and the support of Her Royal Highness the Princess and the people. Let us raise our glasses together to celebrate this hard-won victory!"

Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all. In the cheerful atmosphere, everyone enjoyed the joy of victory to the fullest.
