As soon as King Jing's words fell, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves behind him. As the sound of horses' hooves stopped, one of the horsemen turned over and dismounted, pushing away the two guards who stood in his way. Seeing King Jing, he couldn't care about any rudeness, so he crawled in front of King Jing and cried: "The prince is not good, last night the cavalry battalion was a battalion, and while the elite of our army was exhausted, he suddenly took a boat down the river and went straight down to Zhengzhou." ”

"The main forces of our army are all in the Tiger Pass, and there are only some old and weak remnants of the army left in Zhengzhou, and they can't stop the elite of the cavalry battalion at all. Zhengzhou, Zhengzhou, has now been occupied by the Xiaoqi battalion. Lord, the grain and grass we hoarded in Zhengzhou, as well as the prince's family, have all been lost. Our food and grass have now been cut off. ”

Hearing the news, King Jing just glanced at Huang Qiong, but his face was strangely calm. The face was calm, as if it was not his family who fell into Huang Qiong's hands. After the messenger left, he said: "I thought that our brothers were only good at infighting, but I didn't expect that there were people like the ninth brother who were proficient in the art of war. ”

"Blocking the main road with a force will slow down the advance of our army. At the same time, with a force of troops, it will detour behind me, take away my roots, and cut off my food routes. As the saying goes, there is no food and no troops, grain and grass are cut off, and all dependents are lost, our army has no grain and grass inside, no reinforcements outside, and the troops are stationed under the fortified city and cannot advance or retreat, and the morale of the army will be completely lost in less than two days. ”

"When the time comes, the ninth brother will ascend to the top and shout, I am afraid that these tens of thousands of troops will be scattered. The ninth brother's hand is a good strategy and a good means. Even that person never thought that this time he could really succeed in rebellion. Even if he never thought about passing the Tiger Prison Pass, the ninth brother's hand was enough to beat him dizzy. ”

"Second brother, this is lifting the younger brother. Before the younger brother left the palace, he had been listening to Xue Xuan reading, and he had never taken half a step out of listening to Xue Xuan. Not to mention the military, even the soldiers have never seen a single one. Although I have read a few books of war, it is better to believe in books than to have no books. The second brother shouldn't think that he can lead the army to fight after reading a few military books. ”

"The only thing that the younger brother can do is to know people and make good use of four words. What you are not good at, why not give it to someone who is good at it? The cavalry battalion has always been the head of the imperial army, and there are many talented military attaches in the battalion who can fight well. Why should I pretend to understand and do things that mislead the country and the people? Regarding King Jing's evaluation, Huang Qiong directly shook his head and denied it.

Huang Qiong's reply, King Jing looked at Huang Qiong again for a long time before saying, "It is not easy for the ninth brother to have this mind. The father and emperor did not care too much about the prince's court's Chinese officials. But if he stretches his hand into the military attaché, his father has always been merciless. ”

"Usually, the princes can't even touch the military power. The local guards can still infiltrate some of them, but the four major battalions and the border army don't even think about it. If this opportunity is given to the others, they will not be like flies seeing blood, grasping all the affairs of the generals, big and small, desperately to install private individuals in the camp? There will also be decentralization, rest assured that the original military attaché will be used? ”

Speaking of this, King Jing poured the last bit of wine in the pot for Huang Qiong and himself, picked up the wine glass and said, "Today is the first time you and my brother have met, and it must be the last time we will meet." Your second brother is now guilty, and the ninth brother can still risk death to come to see each other, this affection is especially valuable, not to mention that your brother is still so heart-to-heart. ”

"Now that the second brother should have confessed, it can be said that his wish has been fulfilled. Today, you and I will drink this last glass of wine, and tomorrow you and I will fight a decisive battle here. The second brother promised to accomplish your great work, and he will definitely do what he says. It's just that the second brother asked the ninth brother to leave the aftermath, and I also hope that the ninth brother can keep his promise. ”

"Today, the second brother finally called the ninth brother. Ming'er, you and I will meet each other on the battlefield, and we will fight according to our abilities. When the time comes, life and death will depend on fate, and there will be no brotherhood. With that, King Jing drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and then threw the wine glass in his hand on the ground and smashed it to pieces, as a sign of the final break. Without further ado, he walked out.

Huang Qiong raised his wine glass, and after drinking this glass of wine with all five flavors, he looked at King Jing's unusually desolate background under the sunset, and said in a deep voice: "The matter has come to this, the second brother knows that he is doomed, so why bother to let the living beings suffer more?" The younger brother still said the same thing, hoping that the second brother could give up the struggle and follow the younger brother into Beijing to meet his father. ”

"Little brother, even if he fights to the death, he will send the second brother to the capital safely. As long as you meet your father in person, explain the cause and effect clearly. For the sake of Queen Daxing, presumably the father will not deal too much with the second brother. Second brother, are you really willing to give up your father, sister-in-law, and a few children? ”

Hearing Huang Qiong's persuasion, King Jing did not look back. Instead, he looked at the sunset for a long time before sighing: "The ninth brother is dedicated to goodness and has mercy on the armies inside and outside this pass, but who in this world will pity us?" It's too late to say anything now, and I have no way out of your second brother. If you knew this was the case, why did you fight back and forth in the first place? ”

"What about the emperor, whether it is the prince, after a hundred years, it will not be a pile of dry bones? If people really have an afterlife, I would rather be the farmer who toils all day to get enough food and clothing. I don't want to be reincarnated here again, although I enjoy all the glory and wealth, but I don't have any family affection, and some are just the emperor's house where they are intriguing all day long. ”

Turning his head to look at Huang Qiong, King Jing smiled gloomily: "Since the ninth brother is kind-hearted, the second brother will consider it carefully if the ninth brother just said it." Today, the ninth brother can come to see the second brother and put his heart to heart with the second brother, and the second brother understands this love. Tomorrow, the second brother will naturally give the ninth brother an explanation. The second brother also asked the ninth brother to bother a lot about what he entrusted. ”

After saying this, King Jing walked out of the tent and did not look back. And behind him, watching King Jing go farther and farther away, Xiao Se's back was long ago, but Huang Qiong still didn't leave to return. It wasn't until Liu Hu, who was a little worried about something unexpected, came to invite him three times that Huang Qiong took the reins handed over by the guards around him, turned over and sighed after turning over the horse and returning to the horse.

Huang Qiong's safe return made everyone who had been waiting for him at the moment of the tiger prison, including the commander of the capital who had just arrived with the main force of the Xiao cavalry battalion, finally let go of the heart that had been hanging. You must know that this commander in the capital, after rushing to the Tiger Prison Pass, learned that Huang Qiong only brought a hundred cavalry, and went to meet King Jing alone under the escort of two guards, and almost didn't mention it in one breath.

Who is this king? At present, it is not only a prince, but also an envoy who has the right to dispose of Zhengzhou. Not to mention the rebels on the other side, the future of the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is also in the hands of this young prince. If he has three strengths and two shorts, the people of the Xiaoqi Battalion still find a rope and hang their necks into it more pleasantly.

Rao has been an official for many years, and the city government has also exercised very deeply. After learning that the king was in danger alone, the commander of the capital also didn't care about it, and scolded Zhao Wuxian and the others for a bloody squirt. It wasn't until Huang Qiong's safe return that the anger in the heart of the commander of the capital was slightly lowered.

When he returned to the pass, he saw that the faces of the people who came to greet him were pale, and Huang Qiong, who was looking at the newly arrived Yu Du commander's face uncertain, and knew it, said to Yu Du's commander: "Lord Yu, don't blame them, it is this king who is determined to go out of the customs to meet King Jing, even if they want to stop them, they can't stop it." ”

Stopping the commander of Yu Du who wanted to say something, Huang Qiong said to everyone: "This king is also a little reckless, and everyone is worried about it." But for the bigger picture, it's worth the risk. If this king can say that King Tongjing has given up the rebellion, my Daqi will be able to hurt a little less vitality. It's a pity that this king's ability is limited and he failed to persuade the second brother to give up. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Qiong turned his head and said to the commander: "The rebels invite our army to have a decisive battle tomorrow. This king is still the same sentence, because the adults are fully responsible for this war, this king will definitely not intervene much. All the soldiers above and below the level must obey the arrangement of the adults. This king now grants the right to make decisions on the spot, and officials below the fourth rank can cut first and then play. ”

"For the decisive battle of Ming'er, this king has only one request, that is, in the shortest possible time, clean and complete the solution of all the rebels, and return the people of Zhengzhou to a bright future. This king is a little tired now, so he will not participate in the deployment of adults. After that, Huang Qiong ignored the stunned commander of Yu Du, turned over and returned to the Dutong Yamen.

This time, the explanation of the commander in the capital was different from the past, this time Huang Qiong did not arrange himself. Today's meeting with King Jing made him feel unusually tired. It's not just physical exhaustion, but I really feel a little tired. Tomorrow's decisive battle was just around the corner, and he felt like he needed a good rest to deal with it.

And this meeting with King Jing, although he has always been calm on the surface, but in his heart is turbulent. What King Jing revealed, he still has to think about it carefully. There are some things, and it's time for him to fold up. Therefore, he did not stay in the barracks, but chose to return directly to the capital yamen to rest.

As for what the commander of Yu Du behind him and the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion think, it is not something he considers. Moreover, he believed that his absence would be more conducive to the arrangement and deployment of the commander of the capital, and it would also be more conducive to the commander of the capital to think about how to fight this battle.

After hastily finishing dinner, he returned to the Dutong Yamen specially prepared for himself, in the warm bedroom smoked by the brazier, but Huang Qiong had no intention of resting. King Jing's words made Huang Qiong have mixed tastes. Although he had expected the rebellion of the two kings before, it was by no means as simple as it seemed on the surface. But I didn't expect it to be so complicated.

Although King Jing said in the end, he did not reveal the true identity of that person. But it is not difficult to guess the true identity of this person. It's just that what shocked Huang Qiong was that if that Concubine Shen was really a chess piece that he had arranged to play a long time ago, how old was that person back then?

It is really unimaginable that a person who only left the palace at the age of thirteen and has not yet got married has such a scheming and can come up with such a ruthless plan. Huang Qiong asked herself, if she hadn't been a human being in two lives, would she have such a skill at that age when she should have just started? It's not about taking one step and looking at three steps, it's about looking too far.

Such a nail was buried, but it was not triggered for many years. It wasn't until his mother was critically ill that it could be said that he was about to uncover the whole situation, and he opened it step by step, which is not something that ordinary scheming and means can accomplish. Everyone knows that the queen, who is now in the right position, has been the most important support for the prince over the years.

It can be said that the emperor has been patient with the crown prince, and the queen's reasons account for a large part. At the same time, as a mother, the empress, who once shared the weal and woe with several sons in the cold palace, was obviously more authoritative than the emperor who was a father in the hearts of her sons.

There is a queen here, and there are a few brothers of the prince, even if they fight you to the death in private, but on the surface, they can only maintain the love of brothers and brothers, and no one dares to make a mistake. But if the queen is gone, and the greatest authority suppressed on the head disappears, I am afraid that these people will no longer have any scruples. Especially the rest of the kings who have the position of prince will definitely not show mercy to their subordinates.
