South.

Dakang Palace.

In the palace, the Imperial Garden.

Zhao Chen sat in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, holding a fishing rod and fishing.

However, he was jealous, and he couldn't calm down.

Since last night, Mu Yi led the Mu family's soldiers to camp on the spot, and sent elite cavalry to inspect the four sides of the city to inquire about the number of defenders in the city.

The wolf's ambition is obvious.

The tigers in the city were waiting at the head of the city, and the whole army was in a state of combat.

However, the number of tigers is insufficient, and the newly recruited army has not yet been trained, and confronting the brutal and beastly Mu Jiajun, Zhao Chen is not confident.

At this time, the Chengtou Tiger Ben monitored Mu Jiajun's every move, and reported it once in the middle of the hour, and reported it in detail if there was any trouble.

Although Zhao Chen received the news that Lin Jianlu and Ruan Xinghe led the Qin army to kill Jianzhou, it was speculated that when Mu Yi knew about it, he would definitely leave the village, but unfortunately two hours passed, and he still did not see Mu Jiajun leaving.

Zhao Chen was anxious, entangled and worried.

The Ram Yue reported in the letter that the Mu brothers defected and allied with the combined forces of Qi, Chuyan, Han, Zhao and Wei, and the Mu army fought in the northern frontier.

Mu Yi suddenly led the army to appear, and the troops endangered the palace, which was beyond Zhao Chen's expectations.

What kind of goods the Mu brothers are, Zhao Chen's heart is like a mirror.

For fear that Mu Yi would besiege and monitor the new city, he waited for Mu Heng to lead the Northern Xinjiang coalition army to come and gather seven elite families to attack the city.

If Xincheng is attacked and falls, he is afraid of his life.

After waiting for a long time, the scouts sent back some trivial matters, and after a long time, Zhao Chen became more and more anxious and panicked.

Not long ago, the eunuch brought the latest news that the Mu family army was pulling out the village and seemed to plan to evacuate.

When Zhao Chen heard this, he was relieved.

At this time, the courtiers who were waiting next to him asked: "Your Majesty, the Mu family army has withdrawn from the village, whether to send the Huben army out of the city to obstruct it." ”

Mu Yi no longer chooses to attack the city, most of them know that the Qin army is killing Jianzhou, the Mu family army is eager to return to the division, and the tiger army will go out of the city to intercept it, and it will definitely be able to obstruct Mu Yi and kill the Mu family army without leaving a piece of armor.

Zhao Chen put away the fishing rod, took a sip of the teacup on the stone case, glanced at the courtiers out of the corner of his eyes, and said tepidly: "Mu Yi gave up the siege of the city, and he was impatient to go to Jianzhou, he must know the law of the forest, Ruan Xinghe led the army to the south."

Since Mu Yi is leaving, why do you need to obstruct the other party in one more move, let the Mu family army and the Qin army fight in Jianzhou, isn't it good for the Tiger Ben army to watch from the wall? ”

The number of defenders in the city was limited, and it was not necessarily possible to gain an advantage in facing the Mu family army head-on, and a large number of tiger troops died in vain.

However, when the Mu brothers betrayed the royal family and faced a crisis, he was willing to fall into the trap.

"Send a small number of tiger troops out of the city, there is no need to face them head-on, choose to harass along the way, snatch and burn the grain and grass of the Mu family's army!" Zhao Chen commanded.

"Whoa!"

Hearing the news, a eunuch went to make arrangements.

At this time, the courtier next to him came up to pour tea for Zhao Chen, and asked with an anxious face: "Your Majesty, the army of tigers and wolves of the Qin army is also invincible. Lin Jianlu, Ruan Xinghe led seventy or eighty thousand elite cavalry to kill Jianzhou, Rongzhou, and Sichuanzhou.

The Mu brothers led the army outside, Jianzhou was empty, and the three places could fall at any time.

If the Qin army seizes the three places of Jianzhou and cooperates with the northern coalition forces, it will completely encircle Dakang, and the imperial court will be in more and more danger, and the emperor should find a way as soon as possible. ”

Hearing the sound, Zhao Chen held the teacup, suddenly stunned, silent.

This statement speaks of Dakang's weakness and Zhao Chen's situation.

Dakang, when Daqian made good friends, Daqian rode on the town of Dakang, and instead of the Tiger Ben Army, he conquered the princes of Dakang and tried to recover the lost territory of the separation.

The two countries were at loggerheads, the Daqian dragoons withdrew from Dakang, the dragoons rushed to the Southern Tang Dynasty to fight, and the strong enemies of the Quartet were eyeing each other, especially Qi Chuyan, Han Zhao, Wei Qin, who had coveted Dakang for a long time, and sent the elite army to attack Dakang, no matter how much effort he made, Dakang's situation was still getting worse.

In the past, he was afraid of the Qin state, and later the Qin army went on an expedition to the south of the Yangtze River. Qi Chuyan Han Zhao Wei's elite came from the northern Xinjiang, and he was afraid of the fierce enemies in the northern Xinjiang, now, the Qin army moved from the south of the Yangtze River to Jiangzhou, Gaotang Prefecture, and killed Jianzhou in the southwest, frantically encroaching on the territory of Dakang, and the Dakang Tiger Ben army suffered from the enemy, unless God favored him and gave him a few genius commanders, in order to change the situation of Dakang.

Unfortunately, luck was not on his side.

At this point, Zhao Chen had to comfort himself: "King Qin marries the princess, even if the Qin army annexes Dakang in the future, at least my life is not in danger." The fierce enemy we face is still in the northern frontier, no matter how tragic the situation, we must resist the coalition army and the Mu family army. ”

Zhao Chen walked in the pavilion, holding his cheeks and thinking.

After a long time, Zhao Chen said loudly: "Spread my will, send a hundred spies to Jianzhou, and hype up the reward of 100 taels of gold for those who kill the Mu clan, and 1,000 taels of gold for those who kill the Mu brothers." ”

Although the imperial court did not have enough Tiger Ben troops to fight in Jianzhou, Zhao Chen still hoped to protect himself and sent people to kill the Mu brothers.

At the beginning, the Mu brothers led the Mu family army, washed the old capital with blood, burned the palace, plundered the royal family, the royal heirs, and bullied the daughters of the royal family.

Such a blood feud, Zhao Chen has never forgotten.

Previously, with the help of the Mu family's army to resist the invading enemy in the northern frontier, he could temporarily put aside his hatred, but now that the Mu brothers have betrayed him again, he must wipe out the Mu family and avenge the tragic death of the royal descendants.

What's more, the Mu brothers have been operating in the southwest for many years, but they have looted the people's fat and ointment and implemented harsh policies, which has led to the people of Sanzhou being full of complaints and deep resentment against the Mu family.

If his will spreads throughout the three places in the southwest, I believe that there are many people who are willing to come forward and take the risk of assassinating the Mu clan, and there are also soldiers in the Mu family's army who can't withstand the temptation of rewards and come forward to assassinate Mu Yi Mu Heng.

When the time comes, he may have no trouble avenging the victims of the royal family.

"Your Majesty, is this aimed at the Qin army?" The courtier next to him asked.

If you can provoke the hatred of the people of Jianzhou, Rongzhou, and Sichuan against the Qin army, when Lin Jianlu and Ruan Xinghe led the army into Jianzhou, it caused the people of Jianzhou to resist, and when the time comes, the Qin army will deal with the Mu family army head-on, and secretly will encounter the attacks of the people in the three places of Jianzhou, delay the pace of the Qin army to seize Jianzhou, and expand the casualties of the Qin army.

With Zhao Chen's suggestion, he can not only hit the Mu family army hard, but also contain the Qin army.

"Well, that's a good strategy!" Zhao Chen agreed to use the people of the three places of Jianzhou to fight against the Qin army of the western expedition, delay the battle time, and consume the vitality of the Qin army.

"Whoa!"

The courtier received the order, bowed and withdrew, and hurried forward to make arrangements.

At this time, Zhao Chen stood alone in the pavilion, standing upright, his thoughts complicated.

As the courtiers said, the Qin army fought in Jiangzhou and Gaotang Prefecture, and a large number of elites entered the three places of Jianzhou.

The Qin army was the mainstay, supplemented by the coalition army, and the Dakang was fully encircled, and when the Tiger Ben army was exhausted, they attacked on two fronts, and it was easy to level Dakang.

Zhao Chen pondered and meditated, racking his brains to think about how to turn the danger into a disaster and protect the royal family for a long time.

It's a pity that Dakang has reached the point of exhaustion, and Zhao Chen doesn't have any good ideas.
