Huo Xiao pulled Doudou to the map behind the bookcase, and a pair of phoenix eyes swept along the places mentioned in Master Huo's letter. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Guangningwei, Daning, Kaipingwei, Datongfu, Dongshengcheng......

Eventually, his gaze stopped at one place on the map—the Manquan Division.

"Huo Xiao, the garrison of the Wanquan Capital Division is not inferior to the Liaodong Capital Division, is my father too worried?" Doudou couldn't help but ask.

Since deciding to marry the grandson of the general, she has also put some effort into the military deployment of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

More than 20 years ago, Wanquan Dusi was just an ordinary guard like Xiningwei, and after that war, Emperor Xuande set up Wanquandu Command Embassy on the basis of Wanquanwei, with eleven guards and seven thousand households.

After 20 years of operation, the Zhuwei and the Institute under the jurisdiction of the Wanquan Capital Division have formed a fan-shaped defense zone with the capital as the axis, forming a defense deployment with a deep echelon configuration, the purpose of which is to protect the security of Gyeonggi.

Compared with the northwest and Liaodong, Wanquan Dusi is the closest to the capital, and once something goes wrong there, as Master Huo said, the enemy army will attack south to the vicinity of Gyeonggi at a lightning speed, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

However, even things that a woman like her can understand, it is even more impossible for His Majesty the Emperor not to understand.

Therefore, the general who can serve as the commander of the capital of Wanquan must be a close confidant of the emperor, and the soldiers of the eleven guards and seven thousand households should also be reliable.

Master Huo is not used to being idle, and he will make a noise when he sees some so-called anomalies.

Moreover, the generals of the Wanquan Division are all cronies of the emperor, even if there is something greasy in them, how can he easily detect it?

Huo Xiao retracted his gaze and said with an intriguing smile on his face: "Don't you think it's strange, why did the eldest old man set up another Wanquan Division between the northwest and Liaodong garrisons? In the past, Wanquanwei and the other eleven guards and seven thousand households were all under the jurisdiction of the third old man. ”

Doudou pouted and said, "What's so strange about this, the emperor is suspicious." ”

General Huo is the king of the northwest, King Fu is the king of the northeast, and these two kings have also become sons and daughters, once the two kings collude, it is not difficult to get the emperor off the dragon chair.

But the crux of the matter is that the reason why the two kings became in-laws was not the emperor himself?

I simply spared no effort to slap myself in the face, and I didn't feel ashamed.

Huo Xiao sighed: "This is also human nature, the emperor is also a human being, and it is not only his own net worth and life that is handed over to the generals, but also the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains left by the ancestors, as well as the stability of thousands of people, how can you not be suspicious?"

Doudou tilted his head and said, "It's rare, our little prince Huo actually wants to open it." ”

Huo Xiao stretched out his hand and pinched her little face: "No matter how good the old man was to me in the past, I also felt that I was just a hostage held by him, in addition to respecting him, I felt a little resentful in my heart, and even sometimes deliberately acted arrogantly and recklessly.

At that time, I thought, anyway, they are all hostages, and it is impossible to act on their own, so why do you still use that set of so-called rules to bind yourself?

Now that I've grown up, I know that it's not easy to be a man, and it's even more difficult to be an emperor......"

Doudou ignored this set, slapped his big hand away and said: "The key to the problem is that he is seriously suspicious and sick, is it good to polish his eyes when he uses people, and just wait for others to wipe his ......."

Huo Xiao knew that what she wanted to say was "wiping her ass", and said with a smile: "Today's commander of Wanquan is surnamed Liao, although he also served under the third old man more than 20 years ago, but at that time he was actually his father's subordinate, so his father is no stranger to his path. ”

Doudou said: "No wonder...... So after the father and mother quarreled, they didn't leave angrily, but found something strange, so they didn't say goodbye?"

Huo Xiao bowed slightly: "Not only that, but I even think that the reason for his quarrel with his mother is also this...... None of this matters, since my father sent a message back to Beijing in an urgent manner for 800 miles, I think the situation must be very urgent, and we must have responded in time. ”

Master Huo is now just an ordinary official of the military department who has no real power and no military power, even if he finds something abnormal, he has no right to interfere, and he has no ability to command the sergeants of the Wanquan Division to respond.

Even if he wants to write an urgent report to present the military situation to His Majesty, with his official position, he can only pass through the hands of the bosses of the Ministry of War, and it is difficult to say whether he can present it to His Majesty, even if he can really let Emperor Yongtai see it, I don't know how long it will be later, maybe the soldiers are already in the city, and it will be too late.

Therefore, it was the most reliable and fastest way for him to send the letter to Huo Xiao.

Huo Xiao pondered for a moment and then said: "This matter is sooner rather than later, it's too late today, I will go into the palace early tomorrow morning to discuss with the emperor's uncle, and let him make a decision as soon as possible." ”

Doudou pursed his lips, Huo Xiao entered the palace to discuss this matter with His Majesty the Emperor, and the most likely thing was to let him personally lead the troops to Wanquan Dusi.

If things are really as Master Huo judged, Wanquan Dusi's side is not reliable at all, and the Tatars may really send troops to invade, then ......

It's not too far from the capital to Wanquan Dusi, and if you can stop it before the Tatars make any moves, even if you do, there will definitely be a fierce battle.

Is Huo Xiao really going to the battlefield?

How could Huo Xiao not see what she was thinking, and said warmly: "Things are not as bad as you think, and it is not so simple to provoke a war, not to mention that the eleven guards and seven thousand households under the jurisdiction of the Wanquan Division are not all surnamed Liao, even if I go, it is impossible to start fighting immediately, and my father's letter only said that there is an abnormality, but it is just a precaution." ”

Doudou pouted and said: "I'm not worried about this, I'm thinking, if His Majesty the Emperor really lets you lead the troops to Wanquan Dusi, won't he suspect you?

What she didn't say was that once Huo Xiao really led the troops to the battle, His Majesty the Emperor might really control them as hostages.

Huo Xiao smiled: "Don't think about it so much, the emperor's uncle is not, at least he still trusts me very much, and he still needs me to do things for him." ”

Doudou's eyelids rolled: "What did you do for him?"

Huo Xiao said: "Do you remember that year in Liangzhou, it was I who went to arrest Wang Batian?"

Doudou nodded, of course she remembered the experience of pretending to be a little guy and sneaking into the bandits' den for a few days, and she would never forget it for the rest of her life.

Huo Xiao said: "At that time, I originally planned to personally escort Wang Batian into Beijing after catching him, and then ask the emperor's uncle to give us our marriage with that bit of credit, but I couldn't do it." ”

Doudou raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you say at that time that because I slipped away, even if you asked for a holy decree, it would be useless...... So you're lying to me again!"
