Ling Huyan didn't go out alone.

She was dressed in a yellow hakama, wearing short leather boots, riding a horse and carrying a bow, carrying a short sword on her head, riding a small red horse to open the way, Liu Zhuang fought with an iron horse whip, and led more than ten people from the family who were temporarily assembled to build slaves and maids, all of whom were holding swords and riding horses to follow closely behind.

In the early morning, it was not yet dawn, and there was not a single pedestrian on the street.

The sound of horses' hooves and footsteps of their group shattered the silence of dawn and spread to the alleys on both sides of the road, and suddenly woke up many people.

The big head looked very majestic, and her heart was weak, she turned back again and again, and asked Ling Huyan in a low voice: "Master Weng, do you really want to go?" ”

"If you ramble again, I'll beat you!"

The big head said: "Lord Weng, the little maid is not verbose, but the little maid is worried, this is for the Queen Mother to know, I am afraid that the Lord Weng will be punished!" ”

"Punish and reprimand! Ah Gua took the trouble to do things for the king and the queen mother, surnamed Song and surnamed Fan, stabbed in the back one by one, is there no head? I can't take it! ”

The big head nodded again and again and said, "Yes, yes." Don't say that Lord Weng can't bear this breath, and the little maid can't bear this breath either! It's just that, Lord Weng, I heard you just now that it was Fan Kuan who made trouble for everyone, but why didn't Lord Weng go to block the door of Fan Shuang's house, but he wanted to block the door of Lu Shuang? ”

Ling Huyan taught the big head a lesson and said: "You, you are a little smart, but you don't have great wisdom!" ”

The big head humbly asked for advice, and said, "The little maid dares to ask Bishop Weng for advice." ”

Ling Huyan pointed at her and said, "Let me ask you, Fan Kuan has been honestly recuperating at home, but why did he suddenly jump out this time?" ”

"Didn't Lord Weng say that it was possible that Yuanguang's dog thief defected to Qin Yu?"

"Pan Kuan, that old man, has no soldiers and no generals under his hands, what is the use of what he assigns, it is nothing more than a little white face like Song Xian? How can it be compared to my Agua? Even if a hundred Yuanguang defected to Qin Yu, if they didn't have enough confidence, they didn't dare to show their heads! ”

"Then according to Lord Weng's words, this old guy has confidence this time? His confidence is ......, oops, his confidence is Koji Shuang! There are soldiers and generals under Koji Shuang's hands! ”

Ling Huyan said viciously: "That's right! Ah Gua said to me that Pan Kuan met Lu Shuang yesterday. It must be that Lu Shuang forgot his righteousness and agreed to stand on the side of Pan Kuan, so Pan Kuan had the confidence to dare to be the enemy of my family. Otherwise, give him ten dares, and he won't dare to make waves! Yes, it's useless for us to block the door of the house, we should take a salary from the bottom of the kettle and block Koji Shuang! Koji Shuang, this dog thing, I have long seen that he is not pleasing to the eye, and I have to teach him a good lesson today! ”

At this point, Ling Huyan felt that she needed to say a dirty word in order to express her emotions fully, but she was confined to the identity of the owner, but it was not good to speak foul words on the street, but she couldn't help it, so she signaled to the big head and said "um" to her.

The big head Bingxue was smart, immediately understood, and immediately spoke, scolding fiercely: "Damn it! ”

Ling Huyan felt comfortable physically and mentally, laughed a few times heartily, raised her bow and pointed forward, and ordered: "The Koji family is in front, and you will go with me to kill the general!" "Urging the horse to gallop, leading everyone, to the door of Ko Shuang's house.

The big head didn't say a word, so he went up and smashed the door.

After two blows, the door opened.

In front of me, I saw that in the inner courtyard of the door, a person was standing next to a car under the attendants of seven or eight slaves and maids, and one foot had already stepped on the jade stool used to get on the car. But it was Lu Shuang who was about to go to the court, and he happened to meet Ling Huyan in time.

Liu Zhuang waved the iron horse whip and instructed the Jian slaves and Jian maids to surround the door of the Koji family.

Ling Huyan did not dismount, and galloped into the Koji house with a big head.

Lu Shuang was surprised and asked, "Lord Xin, who are you?" ”

……

At about the same time, Xin Er arrived outside the palace at four o'clock.

At this time, the sky was bright, and the ministers who had come early had already arrived, gathered outside the palace gate, and talked in groups of three or two.

Seeing Xin Er's arrival in the car, many people hurried up to greet him.

Chen Sun had also arrived, standing beside his own car, holding his hands in his sleeves, looking up at the sky, not knowing what was happening.

Xin Er caught a glimpse of him when he was in the car, because he parked the car not far from where he was sitting.

Getting out of the car, Xin Er responded to the courtiers who came to talk with a smile, walked over slowly, waved at Chen Sun, and said, "Chen Gong, I haven't seen you for a few days, you are blessed again." ”

Chen Sun came back to his senses, hurriedly returned the salute, and said: "General, don't make fun of me, a few days of hard work, what blessing can I give!" ”

"Eh, if you don't see it for a day, you may be able to go through the vicissitudes of life, let alone a few days?"

Chen Sun's heart skipped a beat, and he thought, "What is the vicissitudes of life? Squeezed out a smile and said, "I wonder what the general means by this?" ”

Xin Er stood tall, pressed his belt with both hands, and said with a calm smile: "Gong Wen went to the public house yesterday afternoon, and he came out at dusk. Since the recuperation of the father, the father and the father have not seen each other for a long time, right? Talking for a long time, I think you can quench your thirst for lovesickness! Chen Gong, how is Gong Fan's body? Are you cured? Xin Er looked forward to the group of courtiers outside the palace and asked, "Is the Pan Guild coming to the court today?" ”

Chen Sun was shocked, but fortunately, his city was deep and his kung fu was good, but his expression and demeanor were not out of shape, and he replied in his mouth, saying: "Yan Gongxin wrote a masterpiece on 'The Saint is ruthless and affectionate', and he came to my house yesterday to send this article to me. His health improved slightly. Whether it will go to court today, I don't know if this ....... He scolded in his heart, "Xin Agua! Did you send someone to spy on the old man? I know that you have bad intentions in setting up a traitor, thief! Thief! ”

But he thought it was bad, Xin Er really didn't send anyone to spy on him. Xin Er doesn't engage in spy politics, why should he spy on Chen Sun? The assassination department only monitored Pan Kuan, and it was only because Pan Kuan visited Chen Sun and the other three yesterday that he took the three of them to meet with Pan Kuan.

Xin Er smiled and said, "I hope that Gong Pan can come to the court today!" I'm going to Qinzhou tomorrow, and before the war, I still want to hear the opinion of the Duke of Pan. Asked Chen Sun and said, "I will send troops tomorrow, does Chen Gong have anything to explain?" ”

Chen Sun replied: "Sun doesn't know about the military, where do you dare to explain!" The generals are like gods, and this aid to Qinzhou will be able to win. ”

Guo Daoqing, the right Sima of the Governor's Mansion, had also come, and he turned to the left of Xin Er and Chen Sun, wandering around, as if he wanted to move forward, but also seemed to hesitate. Xin Er noticed him, beckoned him over, and asked, "Sima, do you have something to say to me and Gong Chen?" ”

Guo Daoqing wanted to speak and stopped, his face struggled, and he suddenly raised his face, as if he had mustered up enough courage, but finally lowered his head and said listlessly: "There are no words." Xia Guan was bold, and when he heard the conversation between the general and Chen Gong, he felt that it was reasonable, and he wanted to interject, but he was afraid of disturbing the second duke, so he hesitated. ”

Xin Er looked at Guo Daoqing meaningfully and said; "Really?"

Guo Daoqing responded: "Yes." ”

Xin Er stopped asking him.

Guo Daoqing really has something to say, and he wants to say it to Xin Er.

He is Lu Shuang's henchman, and when Pan Kuan conspired with Lu Shuang yesterday, he was at Lu Shuang's house, because he knew everything about Pan Kuan's upcoming attack on Xin Er today. In his selfish thoughts, Qinzhou is currently in danger, and at this moment, shouldn't it be the government and the opposition to work together and unite with the outside world? But he didn't mean that at this time, he actually wanted to hinder Xin Er from leading the troops to help! And also to attack Xiner. Guo Daoqing is very opposed to this, but he is the former official of Koji Shuang, if he tells Xin Er about the conspiracy of Koji Shuang and Pan Kuan, he will inevitably be infamous as betraying the master. Therefore, he wanted to tell Tang Ai about it yesterday, but he didn't say it, and when he saw Xin Er today, he still wanted to say, but he hesitated to come, hesitate to go, and in the end, he still couldn't pass the "loyal lord" level and couldn't speak.

When the time of the last dynasty came, the palace gate opened, and the ministers lined up according to their official positions and years, and entered the palace.

To the palace, after waiting for a while, Zuo and Linghule entered through the passage behind the hall.

The ceremonial officials sang the salute, Xin Er, Chen Sun, Sun Yan and others took the lead, and the ministers saluted together.

Zuo sat on the main seat, his beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, and he first fell on Xin Er's body, met Xin Er's gaze, and showed a light smile.

But looking at the ministers of the court today, I didn't see Koji Shuang, who was customary to stand at the head of the Rongchen class.

Zuo asked, "Why didn't the lieutenant come?" ”

The officer replied, "The lieutenant has not taken leave, and for some reason he has not yet arrived. ”

The courtiers outside the palace came in and reported: "The queen mother, the king, the affairs of the three mansions are wide outside the palace, and they ask to go to the court." ”

Zuo felt slightly strange and said, "Gong Yan's illness is cured, can he go to court?" Lingdao, "Quickly invite the Duke to come in." ”

Not long after, Pan Kuan wore a high crown, his beard was just dyed black, he was wearing a blue court dress in spring, with complete ribbons, his head was crossed, and he entered the palace with a red face, holding a wat board in his hand, and saluted and said: "The minister is late to the court, and he begs the queen mother and the king to punish the crime." ”

Zuo Shi looked at Pan Kuan, and saw that he didn't look like he was sick or recovering from a serious illness, and asked, "Gong Fan, are you in good health?" ”

Yan Kuan said: "It's still a little uncomfortable, but tomorrow is a big day for the general to lead me to the west army to crusade against Qin, the major events of the country, only worship and Rong, such a major event, the minister is responsible for the three government affairs, today's court meeting is to participate in any case, if there is anything that needs to be done by the minister, the minister will do his best." ”

Huang Rong, who was standing in the squad on the right, moved in his heart and thought: "'General Zheng led me to the western army', what does this mean?" ”

Zuo said: "I know the loyalty of the Duke of Pan to me to Dingxi and to the king. "Tell the eunuch under Danqi, "Gong Pan has recovered from a long illness, and he needs to be taken care of, so go and move a couch for Gong Yan." ”

Yan Kuan hurriedly excused himself.

That's it.

The first and only thing of today's court meeting is Xin'er's dispatch of troops tomorrow.

At that moment, after Yan Kuan stood at the head of the group of ministers on the right, Xin Er came out of the row on the left and presented the words drafted by Yang Chao, Zhang Gui and others, which he revised and transcribed and prepared to be passed on to the various counties in the country. He had already written down the content of the book, so he stood in the hall and said it roughly, which can be regarded as a formal gift to Zuo and Linghule.

The content is nothing more than the capture of Qin's invasion, Qinzhou is in danger, and must immediately go to help, as well as which troops are planned to bring, who are the generals and colonels who are on the expedition, and who are the advisors, so cloudy.

After Xin Er finished speaking, Zuo said with emotion: "Before the invasion of Shu and Qin, the general of the conquest of the Han Dynasty was restored, the hard work was high, and the party returned to the dynasty for two months, and Qinzhou was in danger, so I had to work hard to recruit the general to lead the army. The king often said to me in private, if there is no conquest, how can I be in the west today? I really don't know how to repay the captives for their exploits! ”

Xin Er said modestly: "I have been cutting down Shu before, so I can not insult the name of Xiwei, rely on the benevolence of the king, rely on the life of the soldiers, and Ruochen himself, it is not worth mentioning." Qin Yu is arrogant, and he has offended my Qinzhou for no reason, and after he goes to Wushi County and joins forces with Cao, he will definitely convey the expectations of the king and the queen mother to them, and inspire them to fight for the country! ”

Zuo asked Xin Er to return to class, asked the ministers, and said: "The strategy of capturing the generals and soldiers in Qinzhou, Qing and other suitable talents have already heard it, can they have any objections?" If the country does not have one, it will do so. ”

In the squad on the right, a courtier came out and said, "There is something important, I didn't hear the general mention it just now. The minister dared to ask. ”

Zuo asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The courtier replied, "It's the military salary." Dare to ask the general of the conquest, how to pay the salaries of these soldiers who went out from the conquest this time? ”

What is this called a problem? Military salaries are paid according to the process, so why bother asking?

Xin Er didn't think he was inexplicable about his question, and replied to him: "It will be issued in accordance with the existing regulations of the Governor's Office." ”

The courtier inquired carefully and said, "Dare to ask the general of the conquest, how much is the monthly salary of the soldiers?" How much do athletes get paid each month? How much do you get paid per month for light riding and hu riding? How much do the soldiers and cavalrymen pay each month? ”

The soldiers are professional soldiers, their parents and wives live with the battalion, and at the same time they are the laborers of the army. The athletes were recruited, they were mercenaries, and their salaries and salaries were very good. Light cavalry and hu cavalry, some of them are paid for the army, and some of the temporarily recruited Hu cavalry do not give much military pay to the soldiers, mainly for their chieftains. A soldier, a horse, especially a horse, is the elite of the elite, is the treasure of Dingxi, and the treatment is the highest.

Xin Er never tired of asking trivial questions, and answered him one by one.

The courtier asked again: "Dare to ask the general of the conquest, the soldiers have already raised enough salaries, right?" There won't be any problems, right? ”

Xin Er smiled and said: "This question can be answered by Zhang Changshi." ”

The Governor's Office is primarily responsible for matters such as the raising of military salaries. Shi Zhang Sengcheng, the right chief of the governor's office, came out and answered this question.

The courtier said: "The lower official has never been in contact with military affairs, and he doesn't understand these things, but because Qin Yu is strong and cares about this battle, he has this number of suspicions." Thank you for the capture and the long history for answering your questions. There is no other problem with the lower officials. "Return to the class.

No sooner had he retreated than another courtier came out.

The courtier first respectfully saluted Zuo and Ling Hule, and then saluted Xin'er, and then said, "The minister also has a question. ”

Zuo said: "What is Qing's suspicion? ”

The courtier said, "The farther the march you go, the more servants you need." This time the captives went out on the expedition, and when they heard the letter of the conscription, they commanded more than 10,000 troops. Dare to ask the captives, how many servants do these more than 10,000 soldiers need? Is there enough to recruit the required servants? ”

Xin Er smiled and said, "You still have to ask Zhang Changshi this question." ”

Zhang Seng Cheng frowned, and said in his heart: "It's trivial, what are you asking!" ”

But he couldn't help but answer him, so he said, "The troops commanded by the general this time are mainly Zhang Shaobu, the captain of Wuji in the Western Regions. When Zhang Shaobu came from the Western Regions, he brought his own servants. The rest of the soldiers led by the general were soldiers, and their families accompanied the army, and this part of the army did not need to be transferred to them; Then there is the Jian'er Battalion and the Hu Cavalry and Jia Cavalry of the Bald Boye and other departments, this part of the infantry cavalry troops, a total of 2,000 servants, have already been requisitioned and deployed, and are now assembled in Xiyuan City to live temporarily. ”

The courtier said, "The lower official knows." Please don't laugh at the lower officials, and the lower officials are also concerned about the chaos. "Backed back.

Another courtier came out and said: "I just heard from the general of the conquest that he said the battle strategy to aid Qinzhou, one of which is: I intend to divide the elite cavalry and go south to Yinping. Xia Guan was a little puzzled, and dared to ask the general, Yinping is in the south of Longxi, and there is no communication between Wushi County, but why did the general risk that this cavalry may fall into the siege of Longxi, and send a lone army to go deep and go to Yinping? ”

Xin Er replied: "General Long Xiang is now guarding the North Palace with Yinping, and the more trapped and guarding Yinping, they must not be helped; Wu Shi to Yinping is less than 400 miles, light cavalry can be reached in three days, as long as there is no battle with the Qin soldiers on the road, it should be possible to smoothly meet with Long Xiang. …… Of course, the specific situation will have to be said at that time, if the Qin soldiers are heavily defended in Longxi and there is no hole to enter, then this reinforcement can only not be sent. ”

The courtier looked stunned and said, "I see! As if admiring Xin Er, "The general is skilled in military affairs, and he really sets Xigancheng!" ”

The three of them came out one after another, pulling east and west, and asking about unimportant trivial things, that is, Zuo's, and at this time he also felt that it was wrong.

After the three of them finished asking questions one after another, someone came out to ask questions.

Zuo looked and found that this person, like the previous three, was also from the right surname of Longxi, and had always been close to Fan Kuan and Song Hong, so he was suspicious and thought: "Fan Kuan suddenly came to the court today, and these henchmen of his raised some strange questions, what is going on?" ”

Not to mention Xin Er, Zhang Seng Cheng took over to answer the questions of the party henchmen.

But that wide of the pan, standing in the middle of the class, looked calm as usual, but his afterglow glanced at the door of the hall from time to time.

He thought to himself, "Strange! Why hasn't Koji Shuang come until now? ”

……

Where can Koji Shuang get to the palace at this time?

After Ling Huyan led the slaves and maids to block the door of his house, he sternly negotiated with Ling Huyan to no avail, although he had quite a strong slave and a guest in his family, he was really not afraid of Ling Huyan's idea, but Ling Huyan was not only Xin'er's wife, but also Ling Hule's sister, who had always been very loved by the Zuo family. After thinking about it, despite his anger, Koji Shuang didn't dare to break in. And as the noise became louder and louder, all the residents in the room were alarmed, thinking that they could live in the same room as Koji Shuang, and their families were all eunuchs in the court.

So, he was blocked by Ling Huyan until now.

Seeing that on the alley outside the door of Koji's house, there were more and more people watching the excitement, which made Huyan heroic and sassy, and began to reproach Koji Shuang with righteous words.

She sat on a horse, holding a carved bow, condescendingly, looking down at Koji Shuang, calling Koji Shuang's nickname, and saying, "Koji Ju! Since the founding of the country in Dingxi, your family has received the grace of the country, and the first king has paid the eight counties in the southeast to sit in the town with the marquis of Koji, how important and trusting is it? You don't want to be loyal and repaying, but follow the traitor to frame Zhongliang, you are disloyal!

"After the death of the Marquis of Koji, you were appointed to take over the military supervision of the eight southeastern counties, but you did not want to leave the capital, at that time, the court thought that the eight southeastern counties were important towns in the southeast of our country, as a governor, how could you not be in office? I can't do it! If it weren't for the conquest of the generals, would you be able to supervise the military in the southeast while still serving as a lieutenant in the middle of the court and be the secretary of state? And if it weren't for the conquest, would you be able to delete Lord Dan Weng? You can have the weight of today, you can have the glory of today, and you can also conquer the power! Conquest and establishment for the country, all these are out of public heart, and I will not think of using this in exchange for you; But you don't understand the painstaking efforts of the captives, but you make false accusations, and you are unjust!

"Your Majesty, Qinzhou is in danger, for your own interests, you don't talk about the danger of the country, Long Xiang's general Koji Qiu, when the Marquis of Koji was alive, he was known as the Zhilan of your Koji family, and you don't want to save it anymore? You're unrelated!

"Koji, you unfaithful, unrighteous and unrelated person! How can you live in the world? ”

The first two accusations are also counted, and this last accusation, although Ling Huyan uses the least words, but when it comes to weight, it is the heaviest among the three crimes that accuse Koji Shuang. The people gathered outside the door heard this, whispered, and talked a lot.

Koji's anger was gone, and he was sweating in the cool wind of February morning.

Koji Qiu said, "Where did Master Xin hear this? How could Shuang be such a person? This is all slander against me! ”

Ling Huyan sneered and said, "Really? ”

Riding on the big head on Ling Huyan's side, the fox snorted majestically, repeated Ling Huyan's words, and said, "Really? ”

Liu Zhuang had already dismounted, holding an iron horsewhip to guard in front of Ling Huyan's horse, he stared nervously at the strong slaves and doormen of the Koji family behind Lu Shuang, and suddenly heard a voice coming in from outside the door in a hurry, he turned his face to see that it was a military official.

The officer tried to break through the encirclement of the slaves and maids of the Xin family, but was blocked from entering, and he said in a loud voice: "I have urgent military intelligence and lieutenants!" You shall not be hindered! If you miss the military affairs, can you afford it? ”

Ling Huyan pursed her lips, asked Datou, and said, "Datou, you tell him that I can't afford it?" ”

The big head said loudly to the military official: "Looking at the whole Dingxi, there is nothing that my lord cannot afford!" What are you yelling about, and who are you scaring about? ”

Koji Shuang recognized that the military official was Wei Tai, who was originally a consultant under his account to join the army, and after Tian Ju was promoted and released, Lu Shuang promoted him and succeeded Tian Ju. Last night, Lu Shuang sent him to Xiyuan City, where he sat in his headquarters camp.

Lu Shuang smiled and said: "Master Xin, that's my chief Shi Weitai, maybe there is really an urgent military situation to report to me, and I ask Lord Xin to let him in." ”

In front of so many people outside the door, Ling Huyan would not do anything out of line or excessive, lest she become a loser, so she motioned to the slaves and maids to let Wei Tai in.

Wei Tai carried the hem of his robe, walked quickly to the side of Lu Shuang, and whispered: "Ming Gong, just in Fangcai, Zhang Shaobu and Bald Boye and other departments went out of Dongyuan City together and entered the outside of Xiyuan City!" ”

Koji Shuangden was shocked, and he said, "What? Zhang Shaobu and Bald Boye and others went to the outside of Xiyuan City? ”

Wei Tai said: "Yes, Ming Gong! ”

Anger rose again from the bottom of Koji's heart and rushed straight to his head. However, this anger was not born from Ling Huyan blocking the door, but because of the promise that Yan Kuan gave him yesterday.

Yan Kuan said to him yesterday: "Zhang Shao and the conquest, only when the conquest and the Western Regions were fighting, the two had a brief meeting, and the two of them had no relationship before, and since then, the two of them have been in the Western Regions and the other in Guyin, more than 2,000 miles apart, and there is no contact, Zhang Shao is impossible to support the conquest!" Although there are more than 10,000 parts of the capital, it is not enough to worry. Wait until tomorrow at the court meeting, and settle the matter of the requisition, and the lieutenant will solicit him a little at that time, and he will surely be glad to surrender to the lieutenant's account! ”

At that time yesterday, Lu Shuang was quite impressed with Yan Kuan's analysis, but he didn't expect that today Zhang Shao would join forces with Bald Boye and other troops to Xiyuan City! What does this mean, and where does Zhang Shao "impossible to support the conquest"? He is clearly "selling his life to support the conquest"! When Cao Fei sent troops, Koji Shuang also gave him some soldiers and horses, and now Koji Shuang's troops in the royal city are only a little more than Xin Er, and they are only thousands of steps to ride, and Zhang Shao suddenly showed an attitude and stood on Xin Er's side, and the comparison of the forces of the two sides of Koji Shuang and Xin Er immediately changed from Koji Shuang's advantage to Koji Shuang's disadvantage, and Xin Er occupied an absolute advantage.

Lu Shuang scolded in his heart: "Erect Confucian! It's all in the mouth! Speaking of the head, it is the way, and it is implemented, damn it, it is unreliable! With a brain teaser, he thought, "Zhang Shao and Xin Er's joint army is more than twice as large as my department!" If there is a war, I will definitely lose, and if I am defeated, Xin Agua has a loyal appearance and ruthless methods, and he will not spare my life if he kills Song Fang, chases Song Hong, kills Linghu Jing, and degrades Linghu Qu Bai's body! That's it, that's it, make a decision at the right time, what a wise man does, I should be a wise man! ”

The look of shock on his face was palpable.

Ling Huyan saw the clue, although he didn't know why he was shocked, but it didn't affect the scare of him on this basis, he drew a bow and shot an arrow, only to hear a "poof", Yazhong Koji Shuang sat in the carriage of the car, and the feathers at the end of the arrow swayed.

Koji Shuang looked up in panic.

Ling Huyan grabbed the bow and stood up, her apricot eyes were threatening, and she said, "Koji Ju, do you want to die and destroy the clan?" ”

……

Four o'clock palace, on the court.

It was nearly noon, and the generals outside the palace hurried to the outside of the palace and asked for an audience.

Zuo summoned him into the temple.

The general looked anxious and said: "Queen Mother, the king, there are a number of students from the Pan Palace, lying outside the palace, bowing and bowing, saying, saying, ......"

These two things came without any warning, and Zuo and Ling Hule were stunned.

Zuo asked, "Say what?" ”

The general swallowed and said: "Those students said that the previous fall of Longxi was because Qu Yuanguang defected to Qin, so the responsibility, responsibility, the responsibility for the fall of Longxi and the danger of Qinzhou actually fell on the general of the expedition. ”

Zuo only thought that he had misheard, and asked again: "What did you say?" ”

Then I will answer it again.

Before Zuo could speak, Ling Hule said angrily: "How can it be the responsibility of the captivity? ”

Song Xian came out of the class and said: "King, if there is no defection of Qu Yuanguang, Qin Yu will not know the truth of Cao Fei and the others,—— the ministers heard that Cao Fei and Tian Ju had a plan to defeat the enemy, so they used Gao Yan Cao's troops to go out of the valley and attack Qin Yu's formation. But because of Qu Yuanguang's betrayal, this plan could not be achieved. Cao Feibu was blocked at the foot of the mountain with birds and mice, and could not rush to Longxi in time. So there was the fall of Longxi. And Qu Yuanguang is really the culprit who led to the fall of Longxi! And the father of Qu Yuanguang is Ba Ruo Neng, and Ba Ruo Neng is the righteous brother of the conquest. According to this relationship, the fall of Longxi also has the responsibility of requisition, but it is not bad. ”

Ling Hule said: "And Qu Yuanguang is Qu Yuanguang, the levy is the captivity, and it is not the captives who asked him to surrender, how can they be mixed together?" ”

Song Xian said: "Of course, it is not the one who is called for the capture and Qu Yuanguang surrenders to the enemy, but the conquest of the emperor is so lax, this is one of them; Hu people repeatedly, and the ministers rebelled from time to time, this is the second; The soldiers and horses commonly used by the subordinates are multi-Hu horses, such as the Pig Noze Zahu Cavalry, the Beishan Xianbei Cavalry, the Lu Shui Hu Cavalry, etc., which are the third; Lu Shuihu personally migrated it to Jiankang County back then, and if he was the righteous brother of the captivity, it can be said that Lu Shuihu should be the most trusted Hu Qi of the captivity, and there is still the rebellion of Yuanguang, not to mention others? Fourth,......。 ”

Ling Hule asked: "What are you talking about this, two, three, four, and what do you have to do with what Gu asked you?" ”

Song Xian followed his own words, talked to himself, and said: "Therefore, at four o'clock, the minister thinks that this time the matter of conquering and commanding troops to go south and gallop to aid Qinzhou is better to slow down!" ”

Ling Hule asked, "Why hold it off?" ”

Song Xian replied: "It's so as not to happen again like Yuanguang surrendering to the enemy!" ”

Ling Hule was still young after all, although he felt that Song Xian's reason for suggesting to postpone the dispatch of troops seemed far-fetched, but on the surface, it sounded logical, and he didn't know how to reply for a while, so he turned to look at Zuo.

Zuo is looking at Xin Er.

Xin Er remained silent, standing in the middle of the class, with a little smile on the corner of his mouth.

This smile was like a spring breeze, and it suddenly soothed Zuo's unpreparedness, and suddenly heard that Ling Huqu, the students, and Song Xian were talking about the things that were aimed at Xin Er one after another, and the emotions such as surprise, annoyance, and overwhelm appeared one after another.

Zuo stabilized his mind and said: "The soldiers and horses have been gathered, Zhang Shaobu has come thousands of miles from the Western Regions, the servants have also been recruited, the grain and military salaries have also been prepared, and the 100,000 people in Qinzhou are in a hurry, how can it be said that the suspension is suspended?" You can't do this! ”

Song Xian said: "I implore the Queen Mother and the King to consider public opinion!" The students of Pan Palace are all handsome in my Dingxi! Now even the Pan Palace is boiling, and the students are subdued! …… Queen Mother, why don't you summon her leader from among those students and listen to their words? ”

Zuo looked at Xin Er again.

Xin Er said: "Then please ask the Queen Mother to summon them in and listen?" ”

Zuo ordered: "Summoning the leader into the palace." ”

Song Xian volunteered to summon him, and Zuo agreed. Song Xian rushed out of the palace, looked at it, and was surprised, but saw that there were only a few students worshipping outside the palace, only fourteen or fifteen. This is completely different from what he told those two students yesterday! There are more than 500 students in the Pan Palace, and what he explained yesterday was: at least three or two hundred people will be gathered! How can there be only one of these people at the moment?

The two students who were the first to see Song Xian, when they saw Song Xian come out, they got up and came to him.

Song Xian asked, "Why are there only a dozen or so people?" ”

One of the two students replied, "Originally, a hundred and ten people were gathered, but when I left the Pan Palace, I was stopped by the Yin Master who heard the news!" Most of the students went back, and these were the only ones who were still willing to come with me. ”

What can a dozen or so students be used for? Don't say that it's a blow to Xiner, I'm afraid it's not shameful enough!

Song Xian was disappointed, and said in his heart: "The student was stopped by the Yin Master, and these dozen or so people are sparse, and they must be known by the Queen Mother and the King, not only will it not play a role in boosting the momentum of Duke Pan's plan, but it will also drag Duke Pan's hind legs!" I am not allowed to bring these two men into the palace. ”

The student asked, "When you come out of the court, is it the queen mother and the king who are going to summon me and wait?" I have prepared a speech, I must be impassioned, and I will not fail your orders yesterday! ”

Song Xian no longer had the intention of bringing those two students into the palace.

He said perfunctorily: "The queen mother and the king did not summon you to the palace. Your request, the queen mother and the king know, ordered me to leave the palace and comfort you. Go back first! ”

The student was surprised and said, "Let's go back?" ”

Song Xian was in a hurry to tell Yan Kuan about this situation, and he didn't have time to talk to these two students anymore, so he said: "Go back quickly!" Then he turned around and went back to the palace and went to the palace at four o'clock.

But he still returned to the palace too late, and the pan kuan had already been launched!

Several stalwarts of the party of Pan and Song went out to echo Song Xian.

They began with the student's request for orders, and talked about "the rumors of the famous people of Wangcheng", and finally settled on the principle that "I am overstretched with the available troops at present, and if there is another big defeat, not only Qinzhou will be in danger, but there will also be police in the southeast day and night", and resolutely demanded that the dispatch of troops be suspended.

When Song Xian arrived at the palace, it was after Pan Kuan followed those henchmen to make a concluding speech, which was the same content.

Song Xian couldn't interrupt him, and returned to his train, restless. Listening to the loud and confident voice, Song Xian secretly glanced at Xin Er's expression, and saw that Xin Er was still so calm and free, and a bad premonition slowly spread in Song Xian's chest.

After speaking, Yan Kuan said: "This minister's foolish opinion, I don't know whether to judge it or not, dare to ask the queen mother and the king to ask the public for their opinions." After speaking, he didn't look at Chen Sun and Zhang Hun, and retreated to the class, but he couldn't help but glance at the Wuchen train on the left again, and said in his heart, "Why hasn't Lu Shuang come yet?" Although Koji Shuang has not yet arrived, but the arrow is on the string, he has to send it.

Xin Er still didn't speak, so Zuo asked Chen Sun, Zhang Hun, Sun Yan and others, who could be called "gong" in the court, and said: "What do you see when you see the public?" ”

Sun Yan is one of the three kings of the kingdom, and he is old, so Xin Er didn't call him to his house last night, but when he was waiting outside the palace to enter the palace this morning, Huang Rong had already told him about Yan Kuan's private tandem, Xin Er's judgment on it, and the countermeasures they agreed on last night. Sun Yan knew it in his heart, so he was not surprised, standing in the class, and there was no rank.

Zhang Hun thought in his heart: "Yesterday, Pan Kuan told me that today's court meeting will be him, me, Chen Sun and Lu Shuang will be the four of them to attack Xin You, the key is in Lu Shuang, but Lu Shuang has not seen anyone so far, will something happen?" My family has been suppressed by the first king, until now, it has been slightly revitalized, and if something goes wrong again, there will be no future. I'll wait and see. And he didn't say a word.

Chen Sun knew that Pan Kuan's plan was leaked, and Xin Er knew about it, and seeing Xin Er's calm and unhurried posture, he guessed that Xin Er must have a way to deal with it, so he was also silent.

There was an eerie silence in the hall.

Yan Kuan coughed twice, Zhang Hun and Chen Sun were still silent, just like the pine tree on the top of Mount Tai, let the wind blow from all sides, they would not move. After being surprised, he remembered that when Song Xian came back, he didn't bring a student who asked for his life, so he couldn't care about his calm posture, so he hurriedly turned his face to look at him, and saw that Song Xian's face was gloomy. Lu Shuang didn't come, Chen Sun and Yan Kuan didn't speak, and the students who asked for their lives were not brought into the hall, if there was only one of the abnormalities, it wouldn't hurt, the three anomalies were combined together, and after realizing it, he suddenly had the same bad feeling as Song Xian.

Seeing that no one was silent, Xin Er slowly stepped out of the queue and said slowly: "The minister dares to ask the queen mother and the king to summon two people into the palace." ”
