Late at night, Qiu Yexian sat in front of the desk, browsing the battle report.

The large and small battle reports from all over the capital were piled up on a table, and he read them one by one.

After finally reading it, he leaned back tiredly, raised his hand, and prepared to rub his temples.

But He Yuan, who had already returned to wait for him, had already taken a few steps forward, and firmly pointed the middle fingers of both hands on his temples, not light, not heavy, not fast or slow.

Autumn Night String let out a comfortable sigh, or Heyuan will be the best at waiting for him.

He closed his eyes, enjoying the faint lightness.

After more than a quarter of an hour, he opened his eyes and said, "Call Xie Xiao." ”

The retribution of the war was not good for him.

Those mobs lurked in all corners of Tianzhou, playing a game with Wu Ran's forbidden army, you chase me and hide, you stop me to play, so that the forbidden army could not take it for a while.

At the same time, the forbidden army that supported Qiu Liuxue had already gained an advantage in the battle with its former comrades-in-arms, and began to have spare strength to deal with this group of forbidden troops led by Wu Ran personally.

It's a very dangerous thing to do, and he doesn't wait like that anymore.

He's going to have to make a big move.

The ultimate ultimate.

After a long time, Xie Xiao appeared in front of Qiu Yexian: "Subordinates see the emperor." ”

I hadn't seen him for a few days, he was dusty, dirty, and his clothes were no longer of any color, but his whole body smelled of blood.

Qiu Yexian said: "How is the battle going?" ”

As the leader of the killer battalion, Xie Xiao naturally had to be put into the front line of the battle, and he was extremely busy and rarely returned to the palace.

Xie Xiao said: "Although Prince Xing is still able to resist stubbornly, he has become the end of a strong crossbow, and in a few days, the ministers will be able to completely eradicate the rebels." ”

Autumn Nightstring stared at him: "How long are some of your so-called days?" ”

Xie Xiao said: "Half a month at the earliest." ”

"Half a month is too long." Qiu Yexian said slowly, "Have you found out where Prince Xing and the others are hiding?" ”

Xie Xiao said: "I have found it, it is in the old tic-tac-toe neighborhood in the west of the city, although it is not clear which street and which household Prince Xing is hiding in, but it must be in that area, and the ministers are trying their best to tear through Prince Xing's defense line." ”

The West City Gate was controlled by Prince Xing, and Prince Xing could escape from the West City Gate at any time.

However, the court was not worried about Prince Xing's escape at all, and even hoped that he would escape, so Prince Xing would definitely lose the hearts of the rebels, and it would be difficult to raise troops, and besides, it was easy to get out of the city and difficult to enter the city.

After the imperial army got the West City Gate, Prince Xing never wanted to come back.

The court thinks so, and Prince Xing should also know this, so Prince Xing can only nest in the west of the city and fight to the death.

Qiu Yexian stared at him: "You immediately prepare five thousand internal guards, equipped with the strongest equipment, and attack the old Tic-tac-toe neighborhood with all your strength tomorrow, regardless of the cost, you must take down Prince Xing's head." ”

Xie Xiao was shocked: "Your Majesty, if your subordinates transfer away the five thousand internal guards, there will only be the emperor's guards left in this palace, I'm afraid the defense will be insufficient." ”

All the men and horses of the military aircraft department have been dispatched, and more than 10,000 Ouchi guards have also been dispatched, and now there are only 5,000 Ouchi guards and 1,000 emperor's guards left in the palace, and these 6,000 people are already all the remaining soldiers and horses of the emperor.

If the 5,000 guards are transferred, there are only 1,000 guards left in the palace, and these 1,000 people can defend the palace? Can you keep the emperor?

Qiu Yexian said: "Do you think it is possible for Prince Xing to lead people to attack the palace?" ”

Xie Xiao shook his head without hesitation: "It's impossible." ”

Although Prince Xing still has the strength to resist, he definitely has no ability to counterattack.

If Prince Xing wanted to attack the palace, he had to lead enough soldiers and horses to fight out from the south of the city to the west of the city, break through the heavy patrols of the imperial army, and thus reach the palace and attack the palace.

And if Prince Xing still had such ability, he would have done it a long time ago, and he would not deliberately fight street battles with the imperial army.

Prince Xing's most effective soldiers and horses are still those mobs, and the mob without professional training cannot fight a protracted war, and both sides understand this.

"In that case, what worries me?" Qiu Yexian said lightly, "I believe in you, so you can take these five thousand people with you, use the best armor and weapons, and have a final decisive battle with Prince Xing." After you leave the palace with your troops, I will completely seal the palace, and when you bring Prince Xing's head to see me, I will open the palace gate whenever I want. ”

What he meant by this was that he was already desperate.

If I win, I will open the door to greet me, and if I lose, I will wait in the palace to die.

Of course, he clearly believed that he could win in the end.

Xie Xiao's heart sank, and he knelt down: "Please rest assured that the emperor will definitely take Prince Xing's head to the emperor in three days at the latest." ”

Qiu Yexian smiled: "I believe you, you go and prepare, before dawn, you can take a nap." ”

Xie Xiao didn't delay any longer, and immediately got up and retreated after thanking the emperor.

Autumn Night String leaned back, pressed his temples, closed his eyes, and rested.

It's so tiring.

Even when he grabbed the world with Qiu Lushuang, he was never so tired.

At least back then, he only had to worry and guard against his opponents, and now, he has to guard not only against his opponents, but also against his family.

The mysterious disappearance of more than a dozen concubines and their entourage, including the queen and the two princes and the two princesses, is really a big deal, and he is not sure how long he can block it, once it disappears and leaks out, it will definitely cause civil strife in his own camp.

At this time, if there is civil strife, it is absolutely self-defeating, so he must fight a decisive battle as much as possible.

Anyway, he's going to win.

Didn't Zhu You say the same thing?

So, hurry up and put an end to this war that is extremely exhausting for him.

After thinking about it repeatedly, he stood up and walked outside: "Prepare a sedan chair, I want to go to Qiongxue Palace." ”

It's been a long time since he's slept well on the dragon couch and phoenix bed, and it's been a long time since he's fallen asleep with warm fragrant nephrite.

And tonight, he has transferred the last finale forces out and completely sealed off the palace, until the end of the war, he will not open the palace gate again, nor will he contact the world outside the imperial city, so he has nothing to do but wait for good news.

Since there is nothing to do, then eat well, drink well, sleep well, nourish your spirits, and then you can meet the victory.

Although the women in the harem disappointed him more than one another, and each one would cause him trouble, at least there was one Xue Concubine who was innocent, had no ambition, no city government, and no bad intentions, so he finally had a place to relax.

On this night, the harem was as quiet as ever, and it was dark and dreary, as if it were uninhabited.

But the rest of the palace was busy.

Thousands of Ouchi guards were regrouped overnight, fully armed, counted the number of people, and gathered at the main gate of the palace, ready to rush to the final battle.

And the autumn drift snow, which has exhausted all the soldiers and horses, can it still stop the last trump card of the autumn night string?
