Before Emperor Xiao could speak, Cheng Qi Xiuling in the imperial history came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister recommended the Seven Princes to go on the expedition, and the Seventh Highness led the troops to suppress the Wuxing rebellion last year, and the prestige in the army is very good, and the minister thinks that it is most suitable for the Seventh Highness to go on the expedition." ”

Xie Hui also took the opportunity to come out and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, right now Pei Xiang is sick in bed, and there is nothing to do, and looking at the court, those who can be the commander-in-chief need to be able to suppress the three armies, and second, they need to have enough wisdom to deal with Beihe, and the minister thinks that His Royal Highness the Seventh is the best candidate!" ”

Emperor Xiao then moved his gaze to Xiao Moheng, and saw that he had been pondering there calmly, so he asked out loud: "Heng'er, you have always had ideas, you can tell me, what should I do now?" ”

When Xiao Moheng heard this, he immediately went out of the queue, and when he walked to the front of the hall, he first saluted Emperor Xiao, and then said to everyone: "Father, my lords, Beihe should not be afraid of sending troops this time.......

As soon as the seventh prince finished speaking, there was a sigh at the bottom, obviously a little disagreeing,

Xiao Moheng sneered when he saw this, and continued: "First, the Great Yan Division is unknown, and he is a taboo of soldiers, and he is afraid that he will be unpopular; Second, Beihe has been vertical and horizontal for many years, looking at the invincible opponents in the world, and he is proud of his high level, and he and his soldiers despise our army in every way, and the art of war is cloudy: arrogant soldiers will be defeated; Third, last year, Dayan committed a food shortage, and Dayan was afraid that the army would not have enough food and would not be able to fight a long-term war; Fourth, Dayan was abolished and established for a long time, and the three princes competed for power and profit, and the political situation was unstable. The former shows that the strength of the Beihe army is insufficient, and the latter can know that the rear of Dayan is unstable, therefore, in the eyes of Erchen, Beihe will definitely be defeated! ”

When the ministers heard the clear and analysed answers of the Seven Princes, they all secretly appreciated it, and it was obviously an invincible force. In his eyes, he has become a vulnerable ant, which is obviously a thrilling battle, but in his mouth it has become a small soldier who is not afraid. He analyzed the Tao at the head, and it was really difficult for everyone to believe it.

Xiao Moheng took everyone's secretly relaxed expressions in his eyes, then immediately turned around and bowed down, and said sonorously and forcefully: "Erchen please fight, if you can't defeat Beihe, Erchen will come to see you!" ”

Suddenly, the ministers looked at him in astonishment, and the entire hall was silent..................

Xiao Moheng once again ignited the fire in everyone's hearts with his amazing courage. Under the court. The princess of the Manchu Dynasty was surprised and delighted, happy that this prince could not only fight but also dare to fight, and was surprised why he couldn't get along with his own people every time.

That time, he was miraculously deposed and turned into a treasure, and won the hearts of the people. But this time, the ministers sweated for him. This Beihe and Murong Yue are not something that ordinary people can deal with. This Dayan Iron Cavalry is not comparable to a homeless person. Did these seven princes not understand it or did they think too clearly?

This time, even Emperor Xiao was quite worried, in his eyes, this son was too sincere. How can you not care about your own safety at all?

Su Weixin, Xiao Mocheng and Mu Xiaohe on the side were also suspicious, and they all cast questioning glances at him, I really don't understand why he is so victorious? Didn't he know the prestige of the Hokzuru? Although Mu Xiaohe said that he was not afraid of the North Crane, he did not say that he would definitely be able to defeat the North Crane.

Just when everyone was confused by him, Xiao Moheng chuckled lightly and said with a smile: "Father, don't worry about your son, the reason why your son wants to make a military order is to tell the majority of soldiers that the head of the prince of Dahuan can be broken but must not be afraid, let them know that if they do not defeat the Yan army, then their commander's life will not be guaranteed, and their homeland will not exist, so that the three armies can work together and fight back!" ”

Xiao Moheng's words were loud and proud, which made the full hall of civil and military awe. Even Xiao Mocheng and Mu Xiaohe had to admire his courage and determination at this moment.

Mu Xiao and then stepped forward, knelt beside Xiao Moheng, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go out with His Royal Highness the Seventh Highness to defeat the Yan army and protect Dahuan!" ”

As soon as the words of the two fell, the court was suddenly solemn and speechless, and they were all impressed by the courage and heroic spirit of the two.

"Good!" Emperor Xiao was able to stand up, walked down the hall quickly, helped Xiao Moheng with one hand, and Mu Xiaohe with the other, changed his gentle expression in the past, and said with an excited face: "My son is so ambitious, with the words of the two of you, I don't have to worry about the swallow thief not being destroyed!" ”

Emperor Xiao then asked the courtiers, "Ministers, do you have any objections?" ”

Just as the ministers were about to express their position, a chamberlain stepped in, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, ask Lord Pei Hui Pei to see you in the matter!" ”

Everyone knew that Pei Hui should be coming on behalf of Pei Yun, so they stopped their voices and wanted to hear Pei Yun's opinion.

"Xuan!"

"Yes!"

"Xuan Pei Hui is here!"

Pei Hui held a fold in his hand, stepped forward quickly, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, my father is lying at home, and he is not allowed to go to the court to share his worries for His Majesty, so I asked the minister to hand over this fold!" With that, he presented the recital.

Xu Huaiyuan immediately stepped forward to take the fold, and just as he turned around and wanted to give it to Emperor Xiao, Emperor Xiao waved his hand and said straightly: "Read!" ”

"Yes!" Xu Huaiyuan replied softly, and then unfolded the fold and said word by word: "The minister Pei Yun worships His Majesty's Sheng'an, and is shocked to hear that the Yan thief is attacking in a big way, and the minister is worried and can't sleep, and he only hates the minister's sudden illness, and he can't worry about the king, but the Yan thief is arrogant and arrogant, and he is not afraid, and the minister implores His Majesty to appoint the Seventh Prince as the governor of the capital, and Mu Shizi as the deputy governor of the capital, and send troops to the tomb, believing that our army will be able to defeat the enemy." Goodbye! ”

Once the northern crane goes south, Dahuan is in crisis, the skin does not exist, and the hair will be attached? Now is not the time to be rash, he can no longer care about the court dispute, in order to protect Dahuan and Yu, he can only recommend Xiao Moheng, the seventh prince with military merits.

Pei Yun was originally the mainstay of the court, and his prestige and influence were difficult for even Su Weixin to match, but Pei Yun was able to focus on the overall situation and recommend the Seven Princes as the handsome, which shows that he is worried about the country and the people as the prime minister. When everyone in the hall heard this, they didn't hesitate any longer.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"No objection to the ministers!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

Immediately, the servants of the Shangshu shot Wang Xuzhi, and the scholars and servants of the Imperial Shi Yan Puzhi all echoed loudly.

In the end, Xie Hui and Su Weixin also appeared at the same time, "The ministers have no objections, please cut them down!" ”

Emperor Xiao was thrilled in his heart when he saw that the ministers had made an unprecedented move, his face flushed slightly, and he said proudly: "Zhong Aiqing, I am very happy today. In this crisis of hundreds of thousands of Yan Iron Cavalry pressing the realm, my Dahuan civil and military can share the same hatred of the enemy, all of them are united, I am really excited, I have today's momentum, what can a group of Yan thieves do to me? ”

"Your Majesty is wise! God bless Dahuan! "Congratulations to the ministers.

Xiao Moheng stood beside Emperor Xiao, looking at the ministers who were full of voices, his heart was surging, and his chest was full of pride, he had stood up for so many years. For the first time, I felt the momentum of the ministers. This gave him all the more reason to believe that it was such a country that was inspired by the ministers that could defeat the invasion of foreign enemies in one fell swoop, and even recover its homeland and clarify the world.

"Haha... Haha..."Today's unity also inspires the arrogance in Emperor Xiao's heart. After a few laughs, Emperor Xiao laughed. Said solemnly: "Xiao Moheng, the seventh prince, is the governor of the three armies. Governor Jing, Jiang, Henan, Xu Zhuzhou military, fake Huang Yue, Mu Xiaohe as the deputy governor. The day after tomorrow, send troops to Jingzhou early in the morning to exterminate the Yan thieves! ”

"Erchen takes orders!"

"Obey orders!"

In the Lingwang Mansion at the beginning of the next day, Xiao Moheng, Dongfang Zhan and Wen Du were discussing in the study.

"Sir, I'll leave early tomorrow morning, and I'll entrust Mr. Yu to Jingzhong!" Xiao Moheng looked at the candle flame that was burning vigorously.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness will definitely guard the rear for Your Highness!" Dongfang Zhan held a feather fan in his hand and arched his hand.

"Okay, but Mr. must be careful of Su Jin, he didn't let the ninth brother ask for recruitment, he made up his mind to control the capital, in the palace, Mr. may have to put more effort into it!" Xiao Moheng turned his head, looked at Dongfang Zhan, and said softly.

"Zhan understands, please rest assured, Your Highness!" Dongfang Zhan said respectfully, he had already laid out some dark chess in the palace to prepare for the critical moment.

"Well," Xiao Moheng instructed Wen Du again: "Wen Du, the affairs in the mansion are all taken care of by you, in addition, you send a message to Shi Bing, let him pay attention to the movements of the Great Prince of Dayan at any time, once the Great Prince is dispatched, you will take my talisman to Jingkou, lead the Beifu soldiers to the north, and let Mi Xuejun and Shi Bing attack the eastern border of Dayan." ”

"Wendu commands!" Wen Du then knelt and sat down.

"Also, some ministers in the DPRK and China, you also move around more!"

"Okay, I understand!" Wendu replied again.

"Then I'll bother you to take care of tomorrow's expedition!" Xiao Moheng saw that everything was arranged, so he smiled.

"No!" Wendu bowed his hand and withdrew.

"Your Highness, Miss Jiang has sent a letter, saying that the north has been arranged, and she has rushed to Jingling, just waiting to meet His Highness!" Dongfang Zhan sat beside Xiao Moheng and said softly.

"Good! I'm really curious, what kind of mystery will she have in Dayanbu? As soon as he thought of that slender white figure, Xiao Moheng's eyes softened a lot.

"Hehe, Miss Jiang's wisdom is unparalleled, and she will definitely be able to set up a wonderful game and help His Highness win Beihe!" Dongfang Zhan chuckled.

Xiao Moheng nodded, looking at the flickering candle flame with a smile, as if the elegant candle shadow was that indifferent posture.

Soon to see her, Xiao Moheng suddenly felt a sense of pride in his heart, and he was about to fulfill his long-cherished wish of Beiding Central Plains with her, and this day has been waiting for a long time... Long...

That night, Xiao Moheng stayed at Concubine Xie's residence, he didn't know how long his trip would be, but Concubine Xie was already pregnant, and he didn't have time to see his child born.

Early the next morning, Shi Qingzao prepared breakfast early, and Xie Yuanxiu also dressed Xiao Moheng, and the two came out to eat together, and at the same time, Xiao Moheng also ordered someone to call Dongfang Zhan and Wen Du to come over for dinner together. Then everyone in the palace had a happy breakfast.

On the third day of the third month of the fifteenth year of Dahuan Jingxi, Dahuan sent out to recruit soldiers and horses to swear and sacrifice the flag near the Taimiao, and Emperor Xiao and hundreds of officials personally rushed to the scene to march for the army.

Xiao Moheng and Mu Xiaohe brought 10,000 soldiers and horses from Beijing, and then transferred 10,000 soldiers and horses from Jingkou to Jingzhou along the Yangtze River by land and water.

In order to speed up the journey, Xiao Moheng ordered the starry night, and on the way, he summoned Jingzhou, Jiangzhou and Yuzhou to rectify the troops and horses to the north. In order to prevent Dayan from attacking Yuzhou from Shouchun, Xiao Moheng secretly ordered Xie Kuang, the assassin of Yuzhou, to deploy troops near Shouchun and stand by at any time. Xiao Moheng again ordered Jiangzhou Assassin Shi Gao Chi to lead Jiangzhou soldiers and horses to rush to the Jingling area.

Ten days later, after the army marched day and night, Xiao Moheng and Mu Xiaohe arrived at Xiakou with the conquest army. Xiao Moheng then discussed the account in Xiakou and made a series of arrangements for Jingzhou affairs.

He arranged for Liu Ji to continue to guard Jiangling, on the one hand, to prevent Bashu from going east, and on the other hand, to prevent the whole army from being on standby to prevent Beihe from attacking Jiangling; He Pre and Pei Fu, the five soldiers who set off with the army, stayed in Xiakou and were responsible for the dispatch of military rations, and the rest of the horses went north with the army.

Two days later, the expeditionary army finally arrived at Jingling.

After Xiao Moheng and others arrived at Jingling, he asked the army to rectify in the camp tent outside the city, and he rushed to Jingling City with his generals and Mu Xiaohe.

At this time, at the gate of Jingling City, there was already a group of people waiting there.

"The Son... Shizi..."As soon as Yun Yan saw Mu Xiaohe, who was dressed in a white shirt, he jumped up happily and said loudly.

Mu Xiaohe heard a familiar voice, and his heart was also very happy. When the two approached, they saw some generals standing at the city gate.

Mu Xiaohe recognized Gao Chi at a glance, Gao Chi was standing beside Ling Heng and the generals of Jiangzhou, and of course there were a few generals he didn't know. And what made Xiao Moheng quite a headache was that he had only heard of these generals by name, except for Gao Chi, he had never seen any of them, and he even had to pretend that he hadn't seen them.

Gao Chi naturally immediately recognized Xiao Moheng who was walking in front of Mu Xiao and others. Seeing that he was heroic and upright, imposing, handsome and elegant, there was a faint kingly spirit. Gao Chi sighed in his heart, thinking that Jiang Mei had chosen a lord for him who was truly willing to submit.

"Jiangzhou Thorn Shi Gao Chi visited His Royal Highness King Ling and met Mu Shizi!" Gao Chi was the first to step forward and salute. The other generals also said in unison: "Meet the Grand Governor, meet the Deputy Governor!" "They saluted one by one.

"It turned out to be General Gao, this king is three zhang away, and he feels that the general is threatening, and when I see it today, it is really a real general!" Xiao Moheng laughed loudly.

Although it was not the first time to see him, it was the first time to see him in military uniform, he saw that Gao Chi's clear eyes were full of wisdom, and the faint heroic spirit really made Xiao Moheng amazed, compared to Deng Rui, even the generals of Xuzhou could not compare with his tiger power and momentum. What he Xiao Moheng wants is this kind of general talent who can strategize and win the battle.

"Your Highness praises falsely, and you dare not be ashamed!" Gao Chi replied respectfully, he knew that at any time in front of a lord, he must know how to be humble, "Your Highness's martial posture makes Ling Chi dare not look up!" ”

"Haha... The general doesn't have to be modest, this battle has to rely on the general! ”

"Gao Chi, but by the orders of His Highness!" Gao Chi said, stepped aside, and motioned to the other generals to report to His Highness one by one.

"In Xia Ling Heng, I have seen His Highness, I have seen the Prince!" Ling Heng followed Gao Chi to salute.

"General Ling has guarded Jingling for many years, and this king appreciates the heroism of the general!"

"Ling Heng thanks His Highness for his appreciation, he will definitely serve His Highness in the future and live up to his mission!" After Ling Heng finished speaking, he calmly stepped aside.

Other Jiangzhou generals such as Xu Liang, Tian Zigeng, Wei Chihun, and Shangguan Xian saluted Xiao Moheng one by one. Before Gao Chi came to Jingling, he asked Guo Shoucheng to guard Jiangzhou, sent Li Li to Huxiang, responsible for the dispatch of military food, and transferred Shangguan Xian to Jingling.

In the end, Xiao Moheng stood in front of the two generals, he glanced at it lightly, one was wearing silver armor and a silver mask on his face, Xiao Moheng just glanced at him, and he could see that he was heroic. The other is broad-faced, old-fashioned, and already an old general. (To be continued......)
