Mobile reading

The second prince slowly raised his head, glanced at the eldest prince, and showed a sarcastic smile on his face: "Okay, big brother, I will shoulder all the responsibilities alone, it won't affect you, and you don't need to be angry with me, stop sitting for a while."

The second prince is already ready to break the jar, and the reason why he hasn't left yet is to wait for new news, to see what kind of moves Li Zhengdao will make after taking Qingfeng City, and whether he will also take Xilai City.

As long as he hears the final result, he can leave with peace of mind, at least let him die, and let him know whether he died unjustly or not.

As soon as the second prince said this, the eldest prince stood there stunned, he had already noticed that the old ministers of the military department looked at him, obviously a little sarcastic and disappointed, thinking about it, such a quick way to clear himself made some people feel cold, this seems to be a sign of no responsibility.

But at this moment, the eldest prince really doesn't want to explain anything, he can not care what these old ministers of the military department think of him, but he really can't ignore his father's impression of himself, so he must stand up and explain, otherwise the third prince will definitely stab himself in the back, and at that time, it is a little late to explain.

"Big brother, second brother, don't argue. What we need to do now is how to deal with the beginning and end of the matter, especially to find a way to increase the number of troops in Xilai City, if it is not captured, we will naturally try our best to increase the number of troops to keep there, if it has been lost, then find a way to recapture it, it is useless to quarrel here. The third prince showed a certain amount of composure and concentration at this moment, and what he said was also nodded and agreed by the other military ministers.

That's right, it's not terrible if something happens, what I'm afraid of is that there is no one to clean it up if something happens, and that will only make things more and more unfavorable to me.

Being said by the third prince like this, the eldest prince can be regarded as the opposite, and after frowning at Tang Yin, he blamed him for taking advantage of this to win people's hearts and at the same time said loudly: "Of course we have to find a way to solve the problem, my opinion is to send millions of troops to Xilai City, whether it is captured or not, we must be prepared for the worst, and then strive to get it back as soon as possible." ”

Obviously, the meaning of the eldest prince is very obvious, that is, Xilai City must not be guaranteed.

Li Zhengdao is led by the frontier division, these people are all experienced in a hundred battles, their combat power is far from being comparable to inland cities, plus Li Zhengdao is unexpected, it is likely to hold the former Xilai City defender Chu Yang hostage, then the probability of capturing the city is even greater, so sending troops to capture the city is the best choice, and it is also the most important thing to do.

"It is naturally necessary to send troops to Xilai City, but it is not a bit reckless to send a million people directly from the military department, after all, from here to Xilai City, there are so many sergeants who need preparation time, I think it is better to directly send the defenders of the cities near Xilai City to support, so it can be more efficient." The third prince shook his head, obviously disagreeing with the eldest brother's opinion.

"Nearby defenders? Third brother, isn't your head in the water, Xilai City fell into the hands of Li Zhengdao, then he can attack any surrounding city at any time, the defense of each city is a problem, and you have to send people to attack Xilai City, isn't it self-reducing defensive strength? You can't do that. The eldest prince directly waved his hand and vetoed the proposal of the third prince.

"Big brother, it's not clear what the situation is now, maybe Xilai City hasn't been captured yet?" The third prince once again raised his doubts, showing an extremely calm character, and even the eldest brother said that his brain was in water, and he was not refutating.

"Not captured? How is this possible? Even if Li Zhengdao surrendered to the Great Yuan Empire, he must have made a plan a long time ago, his 800,000 troops are in addition to the million army of Kongyuan Mountain, that is, nearly two million troops, with these troops, do you think that Xilai City can be defended, okay, don't be whimsical, or send troops from the military headquarters immediately. "The eldest prince obviously doesn't think that Xilai City can be defended, and even in his opinion, Xilai City should have changed hands now. So the so-called sending troops from other surrounding cities will not work at all.

And just when the third prince was still trying to argue with reason, the thunder outside the door suddenly walked in.

And before the person arrived, the voice sounded first: "The battle report from the front, Li Zhengdao's rebels and the million-strong army of Kongyuanshan were blocked in Wolong Town, Xilai City is fine, and the situation in the south has stabilized." ”

Next, the figure of Wild Thunder walked into the hall of the military headquarters, and under everyone's attention, he took the news he had just gotten and raised it to everyone.

Who is Thunder? That is the chief of the security guard of His Majesty the Emperor, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is definitely a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and he can replace Tang Buluo in many things, so he appeared here, and no one will suspect him if he said what he just obtained.

"What? Xilai City is fine, and the rebels are blocked in Wolong Town? After figuring out the meaning of the thunder, the first one to jump up was not the second prince, but the eldest prince.

Just now, he was still teaching the third brother a lesson, saying that he must send troops from the military headquarters, which means that the city of Xilai has been broken, but after looking at the current result of this slap in the face, he really doesn't know what to say.

Wild Thunder did not answer him directly, but used practical actions to send the information he had just obtained into his hands. The meaning is obvious, if you don't believe me, you can go and see it.

Looking at Wild Thunder's actions, the eldest prince who had already reacted said what he wanted to explain something, but at this moment, the voice of the second prince did sound on the side: "Big brother, I know that you are suspicious by nature, but Wild Thunder is the chief of guard next to my father, and the person my father believes in the most, how can you not even believe his words?" ”

"No, I'm not that... The eldest prince thought about explaining something.

"Isn't it something, didn't the Mad Guard Captain put the news in front of you? If you don't believe it, just take a look. The second prince interrupted the eldest prince's words in time, although it was said that Xilai City was preserved, but Li Zhengdao's rebellion was a fact, and this person was still strongly recommended by him, so even if this civil strife did not cause much impact, he would definitely withdraw from the military department, otherwise, what would other officials think and what would the people do?

It is precisely because he knows what the result will be, so the second prince is not afraid. As long as you don't die, there will be hope of a comeback.

was so aggressively attacked by the second prince, the eldest prince's face turned from red to white, and from white to red.

But after all, he is the eldest prince, the most likely person to succeed Tang Buluo in the future, and after the initial panic, he returned to normal. "How can I not believe the Mad Guard, I'm just a little surprised that Wolong Town's resistance is so strong. Third brother, you are much stronger than the second brother, he recommended a traitor, you did recommend a general. ”

The eldest prince is still the eldest prince, and as soon as he says a few words, he points the finger at the second prince and the third prince.

After the eldest prince said this, Tang Mao looked at Tang Yin, that's right, what the eldest brother said is right, no matter what, the final winner of this matter is the third child, the person recommended by himself becomes a traitor, and the person recommended by the third brother does become a hero, this strong contrast compares him to nothing.

"Third brother, congratulations, and congratulations on recommending a pillar of talent for the country." Tang Mao stretched out his hand and patted the third prince on the shoulder, and then said again: "Okay, it's good that there is not too much harm because of Li Zhengdao's matter, so I can go back with peace of mind, as for how to punish me, you can discuss it with your father, no matter what the result is, I will obey." ”

After speaking, the second prince strode out of the hall of the military headquarters, he knew that he was afraid that he would not have much chance to return here.

The third prince felt that the big hands of the second brother patting his shoulder were so heavy, and even he could feel the jealousy in the other party's eyes, but he really didn't know what to say, he knew that this time there was a thorn between him and the second prince, but he was really not afraid, it should always come, and he would do something to make up for it, he would not let the eldest prince reap the benefits.

Seeing that the second prince walked out with interest, I am afraid that he also knows that he will discuss how to punish him next, and of course how to support Wolong Town, but this has nothing to do with him. And after Wild Thunder's gaze couldn't see the second prince, he turned around and continued: "According to His Majesty the Emperor's wishes, we will first discuss the matter of punishing the second prince, and then study how to support Wolong Town, and it is best to take Qingfeng City back." ”

After saying this, all the eyes of the people withdrew from the outside of the hall, and then each found a seat and sat down, and then began to discuss these two things.

For the first thing, everyone thinks that the second prince should be punished, after all, the unfavorable recommendation has caused the empire to suffer so much loss, and there must be an explanation for this matter, so as to set an example.

It is only agreed that punishment should be punished, but there are indeed two different opinions on how to apply it.

One is the radical faction led by the eldest prince, who demanded that the second prince be severely punished, take away his title, be assigned to the frontier, and never be allowed to return to Fengyun City, and at the same time confiscate half of the property.

The other is the moderation faction led by the third prince, who thinks that the second prince is just recommending others to his disadvantage, and a traitor like Li Zhengdao has not even found out to the military department, so how can he put all the responsibility on his head? Therefore, it is okay to confiscate property, or even to lower it to the next level, and it is okay to change from a first-class prince to a second-class prince, but as for the distribution of the frontier, forget it. To err is human? When people make mistakes, they should always be given a chance to correct them.

If it was said that in the past, it was basically impossible for the three princes to oppose the opinions of the eldest prince, although they were both from the military department, but there were too many differences in identity, seniority and influence. But today is completely different, how to say that the third prince also made meritorious contributions in this matter, at least he has the credit of appointing people on the basis of merit, so his opinions have naturally become one of the mainstream.
