Chapter 59: Three Thousand Troops
Nangong Fei and Zishan's quarrel was interrupted by a knock on the door, Li Chu looked at Zishan with an anxious face, Nangong Fei saw the scene of the two exchanging glances, and should have withdrawn very self-consciously, but he didn't, but instead opened his mouth and asked directly: "Senior brother, is there anything you can't let me know?" If so, then I'm out. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Seeing that he was talking but didn't really mean to leave, Li Chu hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not that it can't be said, and it's not a big deal, just now the fourth prince took people to Xiaohuangling." ”
"What is he doing in Little Wasteland?" Nangong Fei asked.
Li Chu raised his eyes and looked at Nangong Feidao, who was frowning: "Liu Wenlu and some of his forces are in Xiaohuangling, the fourth prince doesn't know where he got the news, and now he is leading troops to Xiaohuangling to arrest people." ”
"What? The fourth prince took people to Xiaohuangling? What about the three thousand soldiers? Feng Jiu leaned out from behind the door and said anxiously.
"Three thousand soldiers? Liu Wenlu is just the son of a prince's mansion, where did he get so many troops? Nangong looked at Li Chu puzzled, why didn't this person even say anything to himself in front of Feng Jiu who knew about it.
Li Chu didn't hesitate at all this time, and said directly: "Xiaofei, this matter, I'll tell you the truth when I come back, okay?" The top priority is to prevent the four princes from going to Xiaohuangling. ”
"Okay, then I can do whatever you need me." Nangong Fei glanced at Zishan and added, "You can do it, so can I." ”
Li Chu couldn't resist him, nodded and said, "Okay, then please work with Zishan to stop the fourth prince outside the city, and be sure to slow down his march until I get the right to send troops from Li Jingyao." ”
Hearing that he was going to go with Zishan, Nangong Fei frowned, but he didn't say anything, nodded silently, and Feng Jiu said enthusiastically: "I'm going too, Wen Lu can't have any more accidents!" ”
Li Chu nodded, it was a promise, but he was a little unhappy in his heart, and when he looked at Zishan again, he had the same expression, and couldn't help laughing.
"Then let Jin Yuan accompany you."
After arranging the task, several people went out almost at the same time, Li Chu galloped to the palace, Feng Jiu and Jin Yuan ran to Xiaohuangling in a carriage, and Nangong Fei and Zishan had long since disappeared.
"General Sima is here? But the emperor was discussing with the prime minister inside, saying that no one would see anything important. Sheng Zhi said and saluted.
Li Chu waved his hand, and said anxiously: "I have 80,000 urgent things here, you can tell the emperor quickly, if you delay, it will not be good." ”
Sheng Zhe is also a person who has the ability to see it, seeing that Li Chu said so, who will blame him if he doesn't go in and report it? Isn't it to blame him for delivering the message?
Thinking of this, he rushed into the main hall very quickly, and after a while, he hurriedly rushed out, stretched out his hand and said, "General Sima, the emperor is invited." ”
Li Chu snorted, then raised his feet and walked into the main hall, and when he saw Zhou Yongnan, he couldn't help but quip: "The prime minister is also here, that's really a coincidence." ”
Zhou Yongnan threw a sly smile, how could Li Chu not know that he would be here? It was something the two of them had agreed upon.
"Chaozong is down to business, what is your urgent matter?" Li Jingyao narrowed his eyes and asked,
Only then did Li Chu turn sideways, face Li Jingyao, and said seriously: "The minister is training troops in Xiaohuangling today, and he never thought that the fourth prince would bring the soldiers to surround and intercept, saying that it was the emperor's intention to exterminate the bandits. ”
"Is there such a thing?" It was not Li Jingyao who spoke but Zhou Yongnan, Zhou Yongnan frowned and said loudly, "Is General Sima mistaken?" There is still an emperor in the western capital, and no matter how bold the four princes are, it is impossible to do such a big thing. ”
Although Li Jingyao was surprised why Zhou Yongnan suddenly looked at the fourth prince and spoke, he also agreed with his words, and nodded heavily: "Chaozong, are you mistaken?" Although the fourth brother is a little arrogant on weekdays, he is not enough to make such ......."
Li Chu raised his eyes, looked at Li Jingyao's uncertain face with a firm and calm gaze, and said word by word: "That's true, the minister asked to see the emperor and also wanted to ask the emperor for help, and sent troops to stop the four princes!" Otherwise, the two forces will fight, and only the innocent and poor people in the small barren mountains will be in danger. ”
Li Jingyao didn't seem to want to believe this matter until now, and it took him a long time before he spit out this word: "But you are now the Great Sima General, you have any way to send troops, why did you go to the palace to ask me for soldiers?" ”
"Because the minister is afraid of being beaten by the fourth prince, he doesn't dare to send troops privately, so as not to complicate the matter, and when the time comes, it will be out of control, and this matter will bother Leader Li." When Li Chu said this, Zhou Yongnan had already continued, "In this way, this matter is quite important, it is better for the emperor to deal with the affairs of General Sima and the four princes first, and the affairs of the old ministers are not in a hurry." ”
Li Chu turned his head to look at Zhou Yongnan and made a curious look: "Is there anything important about the prime minister?" ”
"It doesn't matter, it's the Minzhou field case, the fourth prince has assigned all the Minzhou fields to his hands, and the local people have no land to divide and no food to eat." Zhou Yongnan's face was sad, of course, his hatred for the four princes was not concealed at all.
Li Jingyao sat on his side uneasily, he knew that Li Zhaozheng couldn't calm down, and he would always cause trouble for himself, and when he saw the calm Li Chu's nervous expression, he knew that something was wrong.
"In this way, I will let Li Xun bring a thousand soldiers with you." When Li Jingyao said this, Sheng Zhe had already stepped out of one foot, but he heard Lichu say loudly, "Your Majesty, forgive Lichu for being blunt, it's not enough!" ”
Li Jingyao was stunned for a moment, the problem that a thousand troops is not enough to solve, then this matter is already very big, and asked with a little consideration: "Then how many people do you think is more appropriate?" ”
"Three Thousand ......"
Li Jingyao was taken aback, but his face did not show it, he stared at Li Chu for a long time and saw that he didn't seem to be joking, but he was even more surprised in his heart, what the hell is this Li Zhaozheng doing?
"Leader Li Xun only needs to bring 1,000 soldiers, and the remaining 2,000 will be drawn from our barracks, so that even if something happens, the safety of the palace is enough to be guaranteed." Li Chu's words are very plain, but they are hidden mysteries.
This made Li Jingyao's heart shake suddenly, his hand was firmly pressed on the dragon chair, and he paused for a long time before turning his head to Sheng Zhe and said: "Tell Li Xun that if anything urgent happens in Xiaohuangling, he will handle it at his discretion, and he doesn't have to take into account the other party's status." ”
Sheng Zhi answered, and slowly retreated, Zhou Yongnan lowered his head deeper, with an indescribable smile on his face.
