Let's say that Li Dingguo took the letter and went to the palace, at this time Zhang Xianzhong finally got up from the wine pond and meat forest, after all, he has not yet become a prostitute to the king Xia Wei and the like, but he is usually too entertaining.

When Li Dingguo saw that Zhang Xianzhong, he immediately bowed respectfully to him and said, "Long live my father, long live, long live!" ”

Zhang Xianzhong liked Li Dingguo very much, and said with a smile: "My son, hurry up, no courtesy!" ”

"I don't know what my son is looking for?"

Li Dingguo said with a smile: "When my father was walking around today, he happened to meet a messenger who claimed to be the Pingbei Army, and it was said that he came for two or three days, but he couldn't see his father, so his son helped him to present the letter he brought to his father. ”

Zhang Xianzhong listened, his eyes were full of suspicion, this Liu Xia wrote to me? Although I didn't understand it, I still had to look at it, so I said, "Where is the faith?" Let me see. ”

After that, Li Dingguo hurriedly handed over the letter in his arms to the eunuch next to him, and the eunuch handed the letter to Zhang Xianzhong. Immediately, Zhang Xianzhong got rid of the sealing mud, opened the envelope, and looked at it, the more he looked at his face, the happier he became, and when he finished reading it, he saw that his face couldn't stop laughing.

Li Dingguo below was puzzled, before his father, the emperor, still wanted to send troops to Hanzhong to fight Liu Xia, why was he so happy when he read Liu Xia's letter today? Could it be that Liu Xia sent Shaanxi Hanzhong to his father?

Just when Li Dingguo was guessing alone, he only heard Zhang Xianzhong say happily: "Okay! Good! What a great opportunity! Can I live here for the rest of my life? I am the lord of the world, and this world deserves all of it. ”

Li Dingguo hurriedly asked, "What did my father say-"

"Hahaha" Zhang Xianzhong laughed and said, "I don't know, this Liu Xia really gave me a big gift." Can I not be happy? Li Dingguo said: "The great gift that my father said——? Zhang Xianzhong said: "Liu Xia said, Wu Sangui's army is in the north of Huguang, and Yunnan, Guizhou and other places are scarce soldiers and horses, if I attack at this time, wouldn't it be very easy?" ”

When Li Dingguo heard this, he knew that this was Liu Xia's strategy, although he admired Liu Xia very much, but he was now a courtier of the Great Western Kingdom, and everything should be in the interests of the Great Western Kingdom, so he hurriedly said: "Father, this is the strategy of King Zheng, but it is just to let the father attack Wu Sangui's backyard and make the backyard catch fire, so as to reduce the pressure on his Xinyang's Kui Wolf Legion." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Xianzhong was not moved, his face was still smiling, and he waved his hand and said: "Alas, how did I not know that this was Liu Xia's strategy? Otherwise, how could this Liu Xia tell me about this for no reason? But no matter what, this is really a good thing, even if we attack Yunnan, then Wu Sangui will not be able to free up to fight with us. This can be regarded as selling Liu Xia's favor. ”

Li Dingguo said: "Father is wise! ”

When Zhang Xianzhong heard this, he was even more pleased, and said: "You go and bring the messenger here, this king has something to ask, and you quickly go down to order soldiers and horses, equip grain and grass, and be ready to send troops to Guizhou in Yunnan at any time!" ”

"Yes, my son obeys!" After that, Li Dingguo withdrew from the house and walked outside.

There was a single piece of Xianzhong alone in the house, so he hurriedly asked the left and right to bring the map, and he wanted to take a good look at this Yunnan and Guizhou.

Pingxiang

Liu Xia adopted Li Wen's suggestion, so he personally led 15,000 soldiers and horses, and placed all the cannons on the city of Naping Township. Began to be mighty and very stealthy to leave. Of course, although the operation was hidden, it still left some clues for the scouts of Nahaug.

It is impossible to completely conceal the actions of more than 10,000 people. When Liu Xia set off in the morning, it was not yet afternoon, and Hauge already knew.

So Haoge summoned the generals from the left and right, gathered together to discuss, Haoge said: "I heard what the scout said, Wu Sangui in the south defeated the Kuiwolf Legion, and killed Na Ma Peng for a hundred miles. 20,000 soldiers and horses were crushed. Seeing that he was about to break through that line of defense and enter the Central Plains. This Liu Xia hurriedly dispatched the soldiers and horses here to help. And the city of Naping Township is full of artillery, which is to defend us. ”

Ao Bai's face suddenly became happy when he heard this, and said: "In this case, why don't we quickly raise troops to besiege Pingxiang, since Liu Xia took away the 15,000 men and horses, that is to say, there are not more than 6,000 people in the city of Pingxiang at this time, there is nothing to be afraid of, our army has 50,000 soldiers and horses, how can it not withstand them?" ”

"Yes, yes. That Wu Sangui, a traitor, was able to defeat the so-called Kuiwolf Legion and kill more than 20,000 people for thousands of miles. We are the elite of the Eight Banners, how can we compare to them? Prince Su ordered! ”

"We must not let that Wu Sangui, the Han dog, reach the tiger prison first, such a traitor and dog thief must be killed as soon as possible!"

Hauge did not dare to be careless, 50,000 soldiers and horses were now in his hands, and if he was not careful, he would be able to defeat his two uncles, so that one was captured, and the other was not doing well now.

Careful!

Haoge waved his hand, signaled to stop, and said, "Let's not say that it is true or false at this time, just how to deal with the hundreds of artillery pieces on the city of Pingxiang?" ”

Ao Bai shouted: "Prince Su, don't we have them and artillery?" Can there be less artillery than his? Now we have 50 artillery pieces in our battalion, and if we transfer some from Jinan, we will be able to gather 200 artillery pieces, and at that time, the artillery will fire in unison, and we will definitely be able to blow Pingxiang to smithereens and raze it to the ground. Then our threat is gone, and we can be driven to the tiger's prison. ”

At this time, a scout hurriedly ran in, and Hauge hurriedly said, "Have you found out what you were trying to investigate?" ”

The scout gasped fiercely and said, "Back to the prince, Wu Sangui did defeat the Kui Wolf Legion. The 23,000 soldiers and horses of the Nakui Wolf Legion are now only more than 10,000 people, and all of them have returned to Xuzhou. I heard that Wu Sangui transferred another 50,000 troops to go, and this time compared to the so-called Kuiwolf Legion, it couldn't hold it. ”

Hauge listened, and his heart gradually calmed down. Secretly said: It seems that there is really a big problem over there, otherwise Liu Xiayan could have run away so secretly? If it weren't for the scouts who accidentally found out, they really thought that there were still 20,000 troops in the city of Pingxiang!

"Prince Su, now that the news is true, we-"

Ao Bai said angrily: "Prince Su ordered! I'm going to slaughter those dogs! ”

"Yes, Prince Su ordered! Kill those Han dogs and pacify Pingxiang! ”

Hauge listened to the order on the left, and the army on the right, as if countless flies were buzzing, but he had not lost his mind. frowned and said indifferently: "Now is not the time to attack." ”

When they heard this, they all stopped and looked at him with puzzled eyes.

"There are hundreds of cannons on the city of Pingxiang, we need to be fully prepared, now the first thing is to go to Jinan to get a hundred cannons, and when the artillery is complete, we will send troops to Pingxiang!"

Hauge suddenly felt like he was pointing the country! Full of pride.

"Is it that Zhou Yuyan of the Three Kingdoms can compare to this king?"

Let's say that after Liu Xia led more than 10,000 people out of Pingxiang secretly, he immediately dispersed a large number of scouts, closely monitoring any disturbances around him. Then he ordered a team to disguise himself as his men and horses and gallop south. And he led the rest of the men and horses to hide secretly. In the territory of Nawei Hui Province, there are many mountain ranges. It's not hard to hide.

So Liu Xia led the army, and at the same time, the baggage was also arranged. Lurk and wait for Hauge to send troops.

"Report! Wang Ye Luoyang urgent! ”

A guard hurriedly walked in and took out a letter. Although Liu Xia was hiding, this letter still had to be secretly sent to him. Luoyang is an important base for him, and he can't afford to lose it. The two words of this urgent report suddenly startled Liu Xia.

I only heard him say, "Bring the letter quickly!" ”

With that, the guard had already handed the envelope into his hand. Liu Xia quickly opened the envelope, this letter was written by Bian Yujing, and Liu Xia recognized the handwriting. It was then sent by the members of the dragon group. Bian Yujing told Liu Xia that Meng Yu got the letter, and then told Liu Xia the contents of the letter, and also told Liu Xia their guesses.

Liu Xia saw it, and was immediately furious, there was a thief in his backyard, fortunately he found it early, if no one sent letters and verses, then-
