Prince Zhaoming seemed to have guessed something in his heart, and immediately hurried out of the mansion from the room, and collided with the drunkard who was waiting to pay for the wine at the door, Prince Zhaoming said: "The matter is urgent, can Mr. go to the military headquarters with me." ”

Jiudian didn't ask where to go, but he knew that this noble drinking friend was very heroic, so he smiled and said, "Yes, but the matter is over, you and I have to drink all night." ”

Prince Zhaoming said bluntly: "Go!"

On moonlit nights, people can only sleep at home because of the night curfew, not knowing what unknown variables are happening outside the cold outside.

A gate of the military headquarters is deeply locked, and even the small soldiers standing guard at the door are gone, the entire magnificent military headquarters is golden and brilliant during the day, and the outline of the night is glowing with a faint iron black and iron black color, pushing the door into the vast internal military camp, it is still empty, Prince Zhaoming came in a hurry, and he came in with a row of nails and nails nearest to him.

Passing through the corridor and turning to the barracks, I saw that the soldiers were only guarding the important granaries, one by one like clay sculptures and wood carvings, but the number was extremely small, because of the rash intrusion and the fierce emotions, several soldiers found that someone was standing under the moon and shouted, and in all directions alarmed a group of soldiers standing guard, and soon surrounded the two people who broke into the heavy ground.

Prince Zhaoming was not panicked, and said with a straight face: "Who gave you the courage to dare to surround me Prince Zhaoming." ”

The leading lieutenant lined up the surrounding soldiers, drilled out of the empty encirclement, looked at the two people at a glance, couldn't help but be shocked, knelt down on the bluestone slab in the square, and said: "Your Highness, the last general has offended, please forgive your Highness." ”

"Why is there no one stationed at that gate?" he immediately felt after saying this sentence that whether to say it or not to say it was of no great significance or affected the pattern.

After the lieutenant's narration, he learned that Qiu Songhe had mobilized 400,000 troops to leave Chongguang City silently, and he was surprised that this quiet method was something that no one could do, and that the route of the march was exactly what he thought.

Is it a false rebellion in the midst of change, or is it a deliberate attempt to dispel the anxiety of the people in the streets and alleys.

It was difficult for Prince Zhaoming to judge the true direction of the matter for a while, and if he found a mutiny, Akimatsu Crane would kill the prince and grandson who were already in his hands according to the first thing that the previous dynasties usually did, and then attack the city and go straight to the capital......

He is not a brainless person, and he also thinks of this layer of very important things. After counting the soldiers recruited, there were only 2,000 men in total, and the old, weak, sick and disabled accounted for the vast majority, and he was already aware of Qiu Songhe's terrible intentions.

Without that jade seal of the city, it is impossible to borrow troops and horses from the border cities of Qiruo, Shaoding, and Phoenix.

First, the jade seal of the city was lost, and the soldiers and horses could not be mobilized, so they could only rely on their special status to guarantee the obedience of the two thousand men and horses to their own arrangements, and go up to the female wall of the city to increase the defense.

Second, even if the city seal that was taken over was in hand, the more than 300,000 troops who returned from the training in Shaoding City, Phoenix City, would not be able to catch up with the more than 300,000 troops sent by the deputy city lord Qiu Baishang to the Shaoding City drill in Phoenix City.

The prince, who is knowledgeable, handsome, and has the resources of the emperor, is not worried that Qiu Songhe will raise the anti-flag at this time, but has other worries about the variables that have not yet arisen.

He knew the ferocity and boldness of the bandits in Pansnake Mountain, robbing the small villages on the edge of Chongguang City every month or two, and every time he sent troops to the scene, those brutal thieves who robbed money and women would sneak into the Zouma River on a moonlit night and flee to Pingchuan.

The combat ability of the bandits, very brave and good at fighting, committing crimes, burning and looting, very ferocious, to patronize some villages and towns will be very moving, and send a fine work to infiltrate each city to inquire about the news, once the unlucky one neglects to take precautions, the army will definitely come to the city, and then whether to attack or retreat, it all depends on the leader's mind.

Mobilize more than 100,000 bandits or even more than 200,000 bandits down the mountain at every turn, they are carefully arranged, well-planned, there should be answered, there should be investigated, absolutely than the Han army's defense to be a hundred secrets, everything is detailed and then act down the mountain to loot.

The above points of combat plan, habits, style, etc., at this time, the prince Zhaoming, who was anxious to run and arrange tasks, and the Qiu Songhe, who had taken away the 400,000 troops in the city, knew everything about the terrible bandits, but they were completely unable to plow the court and sweep the holes, one is the natural terrain, the other is the combat ability, and there is more than enough self-preservation, if it is dangerous to send reinforcements to fight the robbing bandits, Shaoding City has suffered a loss, unless it is almost daylight. Every time they were looted, the villagers could only shout and shout to kill, vent their emotions, and did not dare to charge, after all, there were many people. The thieves are ferocious and easy to kill, only kill the people who are resisted when they rob things, and if they don't resist, they don't kill or hurt, it's not that they are so merciful and loving as they rob and have the way, but keep the obedient "good people" and wait for the next time to patronize, anyway, you raise a rooster for him, they come up and take it away, and they don't need you to pay taxes, and they carry it away.

Therefore, it is extremely rampant, and public resentment is boiling.

The important thing that Prince Zhaoming had to do now was to prevent a sudden attack by the bandits, because he was not sure if the villages and towns on the edge would be invaded and looted again this time, so he turned to Chongguang City.

The scout is unable to report effective information on the bandits' movements in a short period of time, and the white jade twin spirit horse jade seal is not in his hand, so he can't ask Qiu Songhe for help.

Even if there is a 1 in 10,000 chance, the bandit soldiers are coming to the city. He Zhaoming Prince will also be vigilant and strengthen the defenses on the city wall, once he is negligent, he will not only lose the property of all the people in the city, but also make Chongguang City, which has not suffered a big loss in the construction of fifty years, dim and lose face of the empire, and he may become a prisoner who is shameful to the people and humiliating to the bandits.

He immediately sent people to the edge of the city to check, and sure enough, he heard from a distance that a group of bandits were hovering not far away, at this time the sky was not yet dawn, there was still an hour and a half left, calculate the distance of the bandits, if it was found that there were not many soldiers and horses in the city to attack it, it would only take less than half an hour. It was too late to ask for help from Qiu's father and son.

The defense of the city with 2,000 men is simply nonsense.

Prince Zhaoming rushed to Hao's house in a hurry to ask for support, and the mobilization of soldiers in the city was carried out secretly, for fear of waking up the sleeping people of Dawn, increasing panic and noise, and giving the bandits a signal of a sneak attack.

The Hao family is the Hao clan among the four clans of the Heavenly Dao, and for the cultivator Hao clan, guarding Chongguang City is completely the responsibility of the soldiers at the head of the city, as for whether there are bandits attacking, they don't have to worry about it at all. The Hao population accounts for a large part of the city, and they all live in the inner perimeter, and the so-called inner perimeter is what people call the city within the city. With that wall with a fairly high defensive line, blocking too much contact with the outside world, they are not afraid that anyone will burn or loot Chongguang City, and they will not be harmed, and most of their clan are top cultivators, even if someone forcibly breaks into their area, they should not be shrunken turtles, and it will be over.

Zhaoming? The prince rushed to the gate of the Hao clan with a love of wine like life, and asked someone to report that there were 100,000 urgent things to see Hao Jingnan, the lord of the Hao clan, and he couldn't reveal too much for fear of causing a riot, and the guardian of the gate went in and went in, but he didn't come out for a long time, and he hurried here The prince of Zhaoming was anxious, you must know that without the patriarch who saw the head and the tail of the dragon personally ordered, even if he told them the truth, he would not send some good hands or some skilled cultivators to help defend the city, and the situation would be even worse.

After waiting for a long time for the people guarding the gate to come out, they were allowed to enter, if the Hao clan was not a place for cultivators, it is estimated that there would be that kind of situation, the red tape of Prince Zhaoming's arrival, not His Royal Highness's personal visit and someone to inform if they could go in, and whether they could see the head of the Hao clan after entering.

This is the deprivation of the rights of princes and generals in the textbooks when the defeat of the evil king was accelerated.

The two princes were led to the hall, and he knew that his anti-cultivator figure was not treated well by others, and it was a difficult problem whether he could see the dignity of the Hao clan, but since he came, the dignified Hao clan couldn't hang himself here directly like the Confucian Longyuan Holy Mouth that time.

But this time it's pretty much the same.
