Chapter 265

There are not many officials who can know the news of the border gates of the Mu State, because the eyes that the emperor planted in the border gates everywhere last time have been exhausted, and the news is very lagging behind.

In the past few days, I finally got an amazing news from the caravans, and the officials of the Great Prince's faction were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

"The Wing King has the audacity to kill the deputy clan of the general of Zhenbei in vain, and it is not counted that he got rid of the family of Li Qi, the general of Pingnan, after a short time, it is simply mad and purely looking for death." Officials were indignant and scolded.

"What's the use of knowing about it?" There are shrewd and rational people who speak, and a basin of ice water is poured on their heads, which is properly cool. "The emperor will contain it in the name of the sword given by the emperor." It's not once or twice, and it's almost numb.

"Li Qi's family is dead, the remaining relatives of the side branches are all mud that can't support the wall, how can the emperor believe that what he said is true, now that the king of the wing is in the border pass, it is impossible for the emperor to move the king of the wing, if you want to achieve the goal, you have to pick out a person who is more capable than the king of the wings, no one in the court is willing to go to the border pass to die, and it has become a stalemate when he returns to the original point, and this time he is afraid that it will not be used."

As soon as the words fell, the officials of the Great Prince's faction showed frustration on their faces, the reason is that everyone knows that reason, but if you want to give up such an opportunity to impeach the Wing King, who can be willing, and always want to get back the loss suffered by the Wing King.

"It's useless to say anything now, why not wait for the war to end, and play together with the defeat of the Winged King, all the events add up to make the Winged King take care of himself, and then take action to solve it with half the effort. The emperor can no longer tolerate the Wing King, and if the battle is lost, all the losses must be borne by one person, and the Wing King is the commander in charge and fights against the guards. The best choice. ”

"The emperor wants to give everyone an explanation, after weighing the pros and cons, the Wing King will not be able to run, and it will be the most effective way to make it difficult for the Wing King to turn over with one blow, so be patient for the time being."

This is reasonable, and everyone nods their heads and says yes, instead of making a small fuss that makes the emperor tired of the courtiers, why not wait for the Wing King to hand over the wrong handle to others. Let his clever words speak better than words, and at that time, there is no arrogant power, and the household will naturally fall into the hands of the great prince. As for the border gates, we will discuss it when the time comes.

The turmoil in the imperial family of the Patriotic Emperor was in full swing, most of the courtiers had already chosen the prince they supported, and a few courtiers were still waiting and watching, and they agreed to the courtiers' advice on the new blood of the Patriotic Emperor. Surely the matter of the crown prince is confirmed.

When the four princes and courtiers heard this, they were rejoicing. A piece of news was sent to the front of the palace from outside the palace, as if the sky was originally clear, and the clouds were shrouded in clouds, and from time to time thunder sounded, and the lightning suddenly fell, and there was a heavy rain down, and the hearts of the people who watched it were furious.

Inside and outside the Patriotic Court, they never expected that the Mu army had broken through the border and entered the territory of the Patriotic Kingdom, and several months had passed since the investigation was learned, and the iron hooves of the Mu army were imminent.

The court was solemn, and no one could tell how Mu Jun quietly entered the territory of the country without knowing it, and his heart began to chill. Beads of sweat were dripping out, and his eyes were only staring at his toes, not daring to raise his head. The silence in the hall was very audible.

Not to mention how the Mu army bypassed the border pass and set foot on the territory of the country, the courtiers did not dare to think about whether the Mu army bypassed the border army like a beast or the guard army has been wiped out, no one knows and it is difficult to deduce, Mu Guo is too bold, openly invaded the border, and entered the house in a grand manner, there was no wind along the way, but the hateful thing is that no one in the border city guards and officials in the city reported, if it wasn't for this chance to see the military flag of the Mu army, I don't know what the situation would be.

Fortunately, there is still time, there are still six cities that have not been attacked, and they can be delayed for a period of time, so as to spare strength for the deployment of troops and generals, and gather all the troops of the country, and not a small Mu army.

The courtiers asked to mobilize troops and horses to meet the battle, and it was not appropriate to summon the order immediately, and then the Mu army had already revealed its whereabouts and found out that the number of enemy troops was the focus.

The matter of establishing the crown prince was suppressed by this sudden thunderstorm, and no one dared to mention it at this juncture, and examining the seizure of the degree was an effective means that an official must understand.

The four princes willfully received the eyes of the courtiers who supported them one by one, and some courtiers chose a commander among the four princes to drive on behalf of the emperor to remove obstacles to the defense of the country, not only to eradicate the Mu army, but also to fight at the border before the generations, and to take the land of Mu into the bag.

The four princes rekindled their hopes of competing for the throne when they heard this, if they could really win the Mu country, they would definitely make a great contribution to the throne, and more importantly, they had the military power in their hands to take the lead, and the father and emperor valued the position of the crown prince.

It was also mentioned that it was too difficult and time-consuming to elect a commander, it was better for the four princes to participate in it, each leading a team of soldiers and horses to sweep the Mu army clean, which prince killed the Mu army in order, and then it was to attack the Mu country, and then count the ranking again in order to break through the border pass of the Mu country first, and finally take the palace of the Mu country and capture or kill the emperor of the Mu country.

As soon as the words fell, some courtiers echoed one after another, all of whom agreed with this method, and they were counted in one fell swoop, and there was less verbal swords in the court.

The eyes of the four princes flashed brightly, and they knelt down one after another to ask for the troops to eliminate the hidden danger of Mu Jun, and never mentioned the matter of establishing a prince.

Emperor Weiguo's eyes swept over the four sons below and nodded their heads in agreement, and drew up an edict to mobilize troops and horses to the remaining two border passes, and then divided 40,000 defenders in Beijing to distribute them evenly to the four sons.

The four princes bowed to the leader's order, glanced at each other with the rest of the brothers, each had a plan in his heart, and retreated and prepared first with a full of fierce fighting intent.

However, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the plan had just drawn up the holy decree on the way out of the imperial city to the border pass, and another thunder fell, and the whole court was in turmoil, and the courtiers couldn't even stand on their feet when they heard it.

The cause of the incident came from the border pass, Yan Guo suddenly mobilized troops to approach the border pass at the junction of Yan and Wei, such a large-scale transfer is undisguised, how can it not make people think elsewhere. What's more, the Yan army had already sent troops to fight against the Mu army before, and now it has not even sent back a single bit of news, and it has just learned that the Mu army has invaded the country. The alliance forces of Wei Yan and Yan could not even destroy the Mu army whose small number was not enough to fight against the coalition army, and let the Mu army swagger on the land of the country.

It was the first time that Emperor Wei encountered such a ridiculous and ridiculous thing, if Yan Guo was only a symbolic transfer of troops and horses, it would be a big trouble.

Suppressing the anger rising in his heart, Emperor Wei sent an envoy to the border pass to ask Ming Yanguo what his actions meant. If you really respond to the worst outcome, the country is about to face the enemy in danger and the situation is really anxious. The previous move is likely to be in vain.

The courtiers were also scared half to death, they never expected Yan Guo to make such an astonishing move at this juncture, and a half-word explanation was never delivered, so they had to be anxious like frying in oil and burning to sleep.

The witty courtier stepped forward and spoke. The emperor had in his hands the most favorable evidence of the alliance between Wei Yan and the two countries. Yan Guo dared to act recklessly, and made the agreement public, so that the people of the world could open their eyes to see how Yan Guo's treachery stood in front of other countries. No matter how bad Yan Guo is, if he does not change his life to fight against the country, the country can go the opposite way and conclude an alliance with Mu Guo to take down the Yan State who does not know what to do.

The sonorous and powerful words came in and out of the ears of the courtiers, and such shocking words shocked the court. Some officials objected to the signs of coming to their senses.

It is unreasonable for the country itself to send troops, and how to switch to Mu Guoxing's alliance since the war with Mu Jun. Mu Guo is not so stupid, he formed an alliance with the enemy to capture the Yan State that was not touched, maybe he would secretly collude with Yan Guo, and he promised to be happy on the surface, but he would stab Wei Guo when he was not defended secretly, but he would be greatly injured!

As for the covenant, it can't come in too much use, since Yan Guo has the courage to turn his face and deny people, it shows that Yan Guo is fully prepared, and it is not a whim to temporarily revolt, forcing Wei Guo to be nervous.

The main thing is what attitude Yan Guo has, if you can talk about it, try to sit down and discuss the conditions, it is nothing more than a disagreement of interests, and it is not impossible to make appropriate concessions in the case of not too much, first appease Yan Guo, in order to put all your thoughts on Mu Guo, if Yan Guo insists on violating the realm, he is not afraid, it is a big deal for the last game, Mu Jun will first send someone to contain it, and show Yan Guo that the prestige of defending the country is inviolable.

Part of the troops of Yan Guo is not at the border of Wei Guo, if Yan Guo is forced too tightly, don't blame Wei Guo for turning his face and being ruthless, the current commander of the Yan Army is the second prince of Yan State, and there are only two heirs of Yan State, although it is caused by unknown reasons, it is extremely beneficial to the situation of Wei Guo at this stage, and Yan Guo can really start a war against Wei Guo regardless of the safety of the prince? As long as the current coach is captured, everything can be discussed, anyway, Wei Guo will not suffer, and Yan Guo will not be too aggressive.

A sprinkled and detailed remarks eased the tense and solemn atmosphere in the court, and the courtiers were given the motivation to be reborn, and finally there was room for breathing, the current situation was not so bad, and there was still room for maneuver.

After hearing this, the Emperor Wei greatly praised the wit of the officials who spoke out, and the reward was indispensable, and he was greatly comforted to have such a courtier who shared his worries and solved problems. Things will be done as previously decided, and wait for Yan Guo to reply to the reason before taking the next step, hoping that Yan Guo will not let himself down too much.

The Yan brothers led their army to meet the Wing King in a hurry according to the requirements of the Wing King's message, and passed through seven cities along the way, all of which were like border cities.

This time, all the troops only left 20,000 men to guard the city, and the remaining two soldiers and horses were stationed among the hills outside the city. Fortunately, there are six cities left just in time for his generals to move their muscles, and the real battle is just approaching.

The two big tents set up by the Xi Dynasty and the Yan brothers were next to each other, and they were only a few steps away, and the stunned expressions of the soldiers below when they learned that the Yan army was a friendly army were wonderful.

Next is the real battlefield of the fight, don't come to the field even can't tell whether it is an enemy or a friend, but it will be destroyed, the big tent is built in one place to facilitate the commanders of the two armies to discuss countermeasures, but also for the soldiers of the two armies a familiar time, the face is not too much, at least the clothes and swords and other things need to be recognized, to prepare for the upcoming war.

Xi Chao sat in the Yan brothers' tent at this time to discuss the battle plan, Hongrui was sent to rectify military affairs, and Ah Jiu went to inquire about the news, leaving only Xu Mian, an idler, to follow him.

"The rest of the battle was led by the Yan army." Xi Chao was the first to say the astonishing words, and his gaze swept over the surprised faces of the Yan brothers and Zhan Junfei. Unhurriedly, he said, "I know a little bit about the art of war, and I can't compare it to the ability of the two. I have my own self-knowledge, so I will not be in front of the experts, and I will not interfere with the people who listen to orders. "Dafang's relinquishment of the initiative has already made a decision when he entered the border city of the Patriotic Country.

"Really!" Yan Hongyi couldn't believe that the Wing King, who had always been strong in front of people, said that he would give up the right to lead the troops, let alone listen to his own orders, which scared himself into a trembling state, which was like a dream compared to pie in the sky.

"The gentleman's words are out of the horse, and it is difficult to chase." The Xi Dynasty was very sure that the decision to sue everyone was not to flatter the Yan brothers, but out of deep-seated and multifaceted considerations. Although he has not learned well and advanced in the art of war, he is not yet able to turn the tide with ease, and compared with the real battlefield, he is very likely to bury the lives of thousands or tens of thousands of soldiers. She can't do irresponsible things for the sake of control.

"It's the first time I'm leading troops on an expedition, so you're not afraid of ......" Yan Hongyi didn't belittle himself, but discussed the problem realistically.

"There is no shortage of good generals around you, and it is worth looking forward to as the deputy of the head coach." The Xi Dynasty was optimistic about the four deputy generals in the Yan army. Yan Hongyi, who is the head coach, is still under observation. Presumably, staying in the barracks for a long time will not be bad, because if you don't have much hope, Xi Chao will not pick her nose at Yan Hongyi.

"I see." Zhan Junfei laughed out loud very unkindly, staring at Yan Hongyi's slightly changing face and feeling happy, no wonder someone once said that he felt extremely comfortable when he saw others unlucky.

Although Yan Hongyi was angry in his heart, it was inconvenient to show too much in front of the Wing King, showing that he had no energy, and threw an eye-marking knife at Zhile's Zhan Junfei, secretly hating and laughing. One day he won't be able to laugh, and he will suffer when the time comes. As the saying goes, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and some are patient.

How could Zhan Junfei not know the meaning flashing in Yan Hongyi's eyes, and hurriedly smiled to give his friend some face, who made the Wing King bluntly say that he was not optimistic about Yan Hongyi, this is not willing to be himself.

"In that case, according to the words of the Winged King." Yan Suyi said that he would play a round game, and if he continued to make trouble, he was afraid that he would have to start, so stop it.

"You can put forward opinions, and you can adopt the opinions of everyone who want to pass through them." Yan Hongyi had a gentle attitude towards the Wing King's acquaintance and behavior, and admired the Wing King's freedom in saying that he would hand over the power. Naturally, it is impossible to kick the Wing King out, and it is fair for both parties to give the right to participate.

Xi Chao nodded in response, talked about the current situation of the country, and analyzed and stripped out useful information from the information he received.

It was unrealistic to wait for the guards to come, and the Xi Dynasty advocated advancing a city, where the terrain was the most suitable for the battlefield, as can be seen from the map.

The Yan brothers felt that what the Wing King said was reasonable, so they set off overnight and sent the vanguard to explore first, because this time entering the city was not as smooth as before, and they needed to fight against it to break through the city gate, and take advantage of the fact that the champion did not occupy the city to arrange troops to rest and wait for the attack.

The Yan army took so many advantages along the way, and this siege was handed over to the Yan army, and the Xi Dynasty led its own troops to the rear.

In the carriage, Xu Mian looked helplessly at the Wing King, who was still not impatient, and sighed: "You are so light that you handed over the command to others?" "It's not like the Winged King's usual style?

"Why not." Xi Chaohun didn't care, "The capable general has more things to do than I eat, I don't need to lose face in front of nearly 200,000 people, and I can be idle for a few days if I throw things to others." ”

Xu Mian raised the corners of his lips to smile or not, and said, "I'm afraid you have other plans." "The deeper the contact with the Winged King, the more unexpected it is, and the Winged King does something that is never meaningless, just looking at the surface, often hiding deep meanings to achieve the purpose of counting in one fell swoop.

"What's wrong with the Yan army taking the lead, saving our troops and appreciating the way the Yan army arranges the formation, and learns on the spot to be immersive." The Xi Dynasty delegated power for a variety of purposes.

"While you are snooping and speculating on the strength of the Yan army, you are also making due precautions, because you are worried that the Yan country is insatiable and suddenly attacked, causing the Mu army to suffer heavy losses." Although Xu Mian didn't understand the art of war, he could see that the Wing King was always careful in his calculations, which could not be said to be without effort.

"There are no eternal enemies in the world, let alone eternal allies, ambition is a little bit of a thing, and it has to be guarded against if it swells too fast." The Xi Dynasty is not complacent because of the alliance with the Yan State, sometimes the allies will suddenly stab you in the back at the most critical moment, that is the most fatal injury, she can't put the lives of all the soldiers and the stability of the country on the allies, that is too stupid and ignorant.
