"His real identity is Zhangzhou Chang, and the surname Ye is a fake surname. The Chang clan of Zhangzhou is quite an old man in the court of Cangwu Kingdom, and has been in contact with Imuran's predecessor since decades ago. ”

"Zhangzhou Chang's! Han Fu really wasn't the one in charge, he didn't expect it to be this Ye Zhiqiu! But where do you know about such secret things? Didn't your uncle show his feet in front of you? ”

"If Your Majesty could think like this, I would be much more relaxed." Su Xiaochen smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, the Zhangzhou Chang Clan's desire to restore the Songyang Kingdom has endured for a long time, and they did not hesitate to collude with the Great Witch God of Imuran in order to achieve the means, so Your Majesty should have been aware of it to some extent by now." It is no accident that the imperial capital is in turmoil, but it echoes the Imuran army! Even the recent rumors in this camp are the result of the Wen clan sending people to harass them, if Your Majesty does not take any more measures, this front and back attack will only intensify! ”

"Are you saying that this time the imperial capital is plotting against each other, Ye Zhiqiu is conspiring with the Imurans, intending to let my army be caught by this Han River?"

"I'm afraid it doesn't stop there, I have found out that the news from the imperial capital is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still being treated for his serious injuries, and the old prince Yue is temporarily regent. This is just to induce His Majesty to return to the imperial capital with his troops, and then take advantage of the situation to set up an ambush, with the intention of waiting for work. ”

Su Xiaochen's words sounded very reasonable, and if it were Emperor Wen himself, he would also be so vigilant. However, Emperor Wen is suspicious by nature, as long as it is not said from his own mouth, he will always think about it.

He secretly thought that Su Xiaochen suddenly fell from the sky after disappearing for a long time, and he and Ye Zhiqiu were like father and son, who knew that the two of them would not conspire to set up this maze to bewitch themselves? It's hard to tell the truth from the fake.

Emperor Wen loosened his brows, showed a little kindness, and said deliberately: "I see, what you said is very reasonable. So what do you see as the situation now? ”

"The rebellion in the imperial capital must be pacified, and the people of the imperial capital must also be taken into account, and Hanjiang must not be guarded against. Divisions are inevitable. But now that I know that the other party wants to ambush Your Majesty's plan, Your Majesty should not personally lead the troops back to crusade, I came here today to recommend myself to Your Majesty, and lead the troops back to the imperial capital to crusade against the rebels. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Wen was a little surprised, he didn't expect Su Xiaochen to ask him for someone so straightforwardly. He suddenly sneered from the bottom of his heart, if Su Xiaochen was really the same as his uncle and wanted to deceive himself, then how many people and horses he was given were meat buns and dogs, how could he believe him. However, Emperor Wen felt intuitively that it seemed that Su Xiaochen was not singing and harmonizing with his uncle, nor was he trying to deceive his own people, which made him wonder.

Emperor Wen thought for a while, and finally spoke: "I also feel that the division of troops is inevitable, you are the former senior apprentice of the Taishi, and the Taishi also recommended you to me in a book before he died, saying that you are a usable talent. In this case, you might as well talk about how many soldiers and horses can be brought to pacify the rebel party in the imperial capital? ”

"Please give me 20,000 soldiers and horses, and I will clear the imperial capital for Your Majesty!"

Emperor Wen sneered in his heart, 20,000 soldiers and horses, this is to divide half of the remaining troops of the battalion, how can I take such a big risk.

"Imuran's army is now on the other side of the river, and it is impossible to guard against it. If I give you 20,000 soldiers and horses, I am afraid that the Hanjiang garrison will be weak. ”

"Your Majesty, it is indeed difficult to divide the troops, but the pacification of the imperial capital must not be delayed, in case the supply of the imperial capital is cut off, the grain and grass on Your Majesty's side will not last for a month, right?"

Emperor Wen was shocked in his heart, how could this Su Xiaochen even know so much about how much grain and grass I had left. How did he know that Mu Yunyou had already taught Su Xiaochen in the past, how much supplies would be needed and how long the Cangwu Kingdom would need if it wanted to use an army of 100,000, so he knew it. A few days ago, since Su Xiaochen had borrowed the secret agents of the Liuxia people to find out the amount of Huo Qinglin's military rations, he could naturally deduce Emperor Wen's surplus grain.

Emperor Wen thought for a while, and had no choice but to speak: "It's okay to divide the troops and return to the imperial capital with you to quell the rebellion, but it's just 20,000 people...... I can't be sure. ”

"So how many people can Your Majesty give?"

Emperor Wen stretched out a hand: "Five thousand." ”

Su Xiaochen seemed to hesitate, lowered his head and thought for a while and replied, "Your Majesty, I only need four thousand people, but Your Majesty has to lend me all the tailors in the camp." ”

"Tailor?" Emperor Wen wondered in his heart that there were indeed tailors accompanying the army in the army of 100,000, and the number was about two hundred less. But what does this Su Xiaochen want the tailor to do? And he was given 200 people, and he was willing to reduce another 1,000 people himself, and only 4,000 men and horses could pacify the imperial capital?

"There are only two hundred tailors, and you only need four thousand to put down the rebellion?"

"If Your Majesty allows it, it will be four thousand two hundred." Su Xiaochen replied very calmly.

Emperor Wen quickly thought about it in his heart.

Su Xiaochen learned from Mu Yunyou, if there is really a miracle to break the imperial capital, but he has solved a problem for himself, if he just wants to deceive some people for his uncle, it is only 4,000 people, what kind of climate can he achieve? It's better to give it a try, maybe it will work wonders.

"Okay, if you can really pacify the imperial capital with 4,200 people, I will allow you."

"Your Majesty, although these four thousand people are not many, I want to choose them from His Majesty's camp."

Emperor Wen's heart tightened, pick? Could it be that he has a secret relationship with which general? Let's see how he says he chooses.

"What are you going to choose?"

"No matter which battalion of soldiers, no matter whether they are recruits or veterans, I only want soldiers from the imperial capital for these 4,000 people, such as those from Jingzhou, I don't want anything."

Emperor Wen became more and more strange, in terms of combat effectiveness, the soldiers from Jingzhou can be described as the three armies, and the commanders in each battalion are regarded as treasures, but this Su Xiaochen doesn't want it? In fact, the soldiers from the imperial capital are relatively pampered and pampered compared to the local ones, not only can they not bear hardships, but their combat effectiveness is also relatively weak.

How could Su Xiaochen want to choose the weak over the strong?

Anyway, since he doesn't stick to the soldiers under the command of a general, it shows that there is no secret communication, which is a lot more reassuring.

Emperor Wen probably thought of the reason, since it was to pacify the imperial capital, Su Xiaochen wanted some soldiers who were familiar with the roads in the imperial capital, so it might be more advantageous to fight in the streets.

But what advantage does this have? Compared with the soldiers of Jingzhou who kill red-eyed soldiers who only fight for their lives, this advantage is simply not worth mentioning.

"Okay, that's possible. Do you have any other requirements? ”

"I would like to ask Your Majesty to give me a cup of tea."

Emperor Wen was stunned, what kind of strange request is this? Want tea? Didn't you already have a cup of tea after you entered the account?

Su Xiaochen pointed to another masked black-clothed man beside him: "Your Majesty, this subordinate of mine is a person who has good tea, and when I heard that Your Majesty has precious tea, my heart is itching." So I had the courage to ask Your Majesty for a cup on her behalf. ”

Emperor Wen couldn't help but look at the masked man again.

Su Xiaochen came this time with two masked black-clothed people, one was the one who was on the top of the tent called Vulture Tail, and he also took off his face towel to show his face. The other man never showed up or spoke.

I saw that the man's figure was more petite and delicate than the eagle's tail, although he couldn't see anything from the outfit, but a pair of wonderful eyes like a spring breeze, he was staring at himself incessantly, and he was clearly a woman.

At this moment, Emperor Wen didn't want to worry too much, so he took a teacup and poured a cup and handed it over.

The man in black didn't say a word, first saluted, and stood up still staring at Emperor Wen tightly, his eyes reddened.

At first, Emperor Wen wanted to reprimand this person for being rude, but when he thought that it was when he wanted to use Su Xiaochen, he endured it for a while. Only said: "Let's drink tea." ”

The man in black solemnly took the teacup, his hands trembled slightly, and then he turned his back and uncovered his face towel and drank it all in one gulp, and then went straight out of the camp without looking back.

Su Xiaochen bowed beside him and said, "Your Majesty, my subordinates are a little ignorant of the rules, and I hope Your Majesty will not blame you." ”

Emperor Wen was suspicious in his heart, saying that this person did not know the rules, and he was very rude when he looked at people, but he was quite polite when he received tea, and he was taught etiquette at a glance.

He waved his hand and said, "That's it." I will send orders to each battalion, and select the soldiers of the imperial capital to make four thousand men with you, and the two hundred tailors. You're ...... right now."

"Oh, back to Your Majesty, I will stay by the camp of the army, if Your Majesty wants to call me, you can order someone to burn a bonfire outside the gate, and I will come over."

Emperor Wen nodded, and watched Su Xiaochen and the black-clothed man named Vulture Tail get out of the tent.

Four thousand two hundred against twenty-five thousand?

The difference in strength was six times greater.

According to common sense, the number of besieging people must be three times the number of defenders to have a chance of winning, and ten times the number of sieges. Now that the defenders are six times as attackers, it's simply impossible.

And what is going to be captured is the toughest city in Cangwu Country------ Wanhua Imperial Capital!

Surely this is not a dream?

Emperor Wen felt smart and resourceful, and he couldn't think of any clever plan for Su Xiaochen, so he just sat in the tent and secretly wondered.

Su Xiaochen took the eagle tail out of the army camp, walked two miles to the east, and saw a person standing in front of him, who was the man in black who took the first step.

The man saw Su Xiaochen and Vuldor's Tail, and finally untied his face towel.

"You're back......"

Su Xiaochen saw that her eyes were still a little red, and said softly: "Xiaoxiao, you know that you will feel uncomfortable, so why do you have to see him." ”

"Da Su, I've never met my father, and I don't know what he looks like. Since Emperor Wen and my father are twin brothers, at least ......" Zhu Zhitong only felt a pain in her chest, and she couldn't go on.

"But you know that he is not your father after all, and you also say that the world criticizes your father as a gentle gentleman, and he is definitely not a vicious person like Emperor Wen. When you look at him with the eyes of your father, isn't it a bad thought? ”

Zhu Zhitong smiled bitterly: "If it were you, could you resist not seeing it?" ”

"This ......," Su Xiaochen was speechless for a while. Xiao Tong is right, if it were him, I was afraid that he would not be able to help but want to sneak a look at someone who looked exactly like his father.
