A woman's intuition is undoubtedly terrifying, Xihuan's estimate is right, the news is leaked, for which King Xianzheng is "furious" and counts the cabinet down.

"Zhao Qing, this matter is discussed by Aiqing and Nuo Aiqing and Zhang Jie, both of them are secret businessmen, how did this news leak."

"This ......" Zhao Xun didn't know from beginning to end that it was a trap preset by Bailiyan, he pinched his fingers and calculated, Wei Guo could not use a month to travel back and forth between Shaling and Weidu in any case, so he said: "The great prince thinks that the mistake in this matter is probably not in my country, but in the eldest grandson." ”

"Oh, how can Aiqing see it?"

"From the Lingling to the Wei capital, the fastest will be January, this matter will be discussed with Zhang Jie at the end of April, how can Wei Guo send envoys to come in late May, the ministers think about it, it is very likely that Zhang Jie and Yongxing Hou discussed at the beginning of last month, Zhang Jie sent the news back to China, which was obtained by Wei Guo's secret agent in the eldest grandson, and then spread to Wei Guo."

"In this way, it is the eldest grandson who is not strict in secrets."

King Xian pretended to be angry, and then the prince said:

"Father, there are a lot of foreign residents in the city, and it is difficult to guarantee that the news is not leaked from other channels."

King Xian listened harshly, obviously alluding to Baili Yan's lax secrecy:

"Does the prince have any conclusive news?"

"This ......" the prince was speechless, and he was busy organizing language to cover up his emptiness: "Erchen is also guessing. ”

"It's a guess, but it's a guess. Remember, where there is ironclad evidence, speculation cannot be proven! ”

"As the father teaches, the child remembers it."

The prince did remember this passage so much that he attached great importance to the way of "collecting evidence" in his affairs thereafter.

At this time, King Xian looked at Lu Gao and asked:

"Lu Aiqing, how is our army assembled now, can we launch the palace before the guards rush to Dekang."

"King Qiyu, I'm afraid it won't be possible in two months. Chen Qu's navy has just returned to Hong Kong and needs to be repaired, and the inland water army has not yet completed its assembly, and if there is no naval and naval support, our army will not be able to cross the river.

In addition, the town troops in various places are still being assembled, and the town troops stationed in Jiangdong have just crossed the river. The horses of Qianyue Mountain did not leave the road until mid-May, and it took three or two months to arrive in Ganfu County, and the conscription of the reservists was carried out in secret, so they could only be recruited in the name of the conscription battalion, which was very slow.

Therefore, by the end of July, a maximum of 300,000 people will be called up, and it is good to be able to gather 500,000 or 600,000 people.

And the main force of the guard army should have been on the road at the end of last month, if it was on horseback, the main force of the army would have arrived in Dekang long ago, and the foot should have arrived in Dekang in the first half of next month, so our army has now lost the miracle of preemptive strike.

Even if our army can be assembled before the end of July, there will be four or five hundred thousand elite guards on the other side of the river, and I am afraid that the enemy will not be able to get to the shore under our attack, and the whole army will be annihilated. ”

Lu Gao portrayed the situation as very serious, how serious, how pessimistic and how to say, anyway, he never mentioned how powerful the Xian army was.

The more Xian Wang listened, the darker his face became, in fact, his face was already dark, because after eating the dessert made of the flesh of the dill of the carrot, his face would indeed turn dark, and it would take two to three hours to return to its normal color.

This is also the reason why the skin of the Western Barbarians is more bronzed, mainly because of the physiological reaction caused by the effect of accelerating the degradation of toxins and antioxidants.

But this did not prevent the creation of some intimidating atmosphere, and King Xian asked Zhao Xun in a deep voice:

"Zhao Qing, what are the chances of winning now?"

"The minister thinks that there is at least three or four percent chance of winning, but the minister does not recommend sending troops, at least he should send troops together with the Jin State, otherwise my country will hit the stone with an egg, which is very harmful."

In fact, Zhao Xun has nothing in his heart, he has grown up in the past few years, so he has rarely gone out of the city for activities, and the situation in Yongxing City is still two or three years ago, and the only thing he is sure of is the artillery of the Xian army and a small number of guns, as well as the navy's strong ships and artillery.

However, land warfare is still dominated by infantry troops, and infantry troops retreat beyond the range of the navy, and the navy cannot go ashore, so the infantry army is still the core. In recent years, the army construction has been in charge of Lu Gao and Bai Liyan, Zhao Xun does not know much about the situation of each army, although Xue Sheng is Zhao Xun's descendant, but now he is undergoing secret adaptation, and the news cannot be transmitted.

Therefore, the certainty of three or four percent is based on the superiority of the Xian army and the conclusion that the defense country is well prepared; if the defense of the country is not prepared, with the combat strength of the Xian army two or three years ago, the attack on the defense country is six or seven percent sure of victory.

What King Ran Xian wants is Zhao Xun's words that it is not suitable to send troops, and with the weight of this sentence, the next thing is easy to compose.

Shao Shinuo's words were late, and Zhang Jie was accompanied by him. Nuo Yiyan didn't know what happened, and of course Zhang Jie didn't know, but Zhang Jie had already gotten the gossip, Lu Jia had found Bailiyan, and King Xian summoned him overnight, Zhang Jie was only worried about what benefits Weiguo had promised to King Xian, and Bailiyan temporarily changed his hexagram and wanted to blackmail him.

"The promise is called to see the king."

"Foreign Minister Zhang Jie Meets King Xian......"

The two of them stepped forward one after the other to salute, and when they looked up, they saw King Xian's "iron-black" face gloomy and terrifying, and he was startled by Nuo Yiyan, and he hurriedly asked:

"King, what happened?"

Xianwang looked at Zhang Jie and said:

"Nuo Qing should ask Lord Zhang."

Zhang Jie was puzzled, so he asked:

"Please also ask King Xian to make it clear why he summoned the envoy to come late at night."

King Xian said coldly:

"Your country should be happy, right, at the beginning of the month, Wei Guo suddenly mobilized 500,000 elites to rush to Dekang County, shouldn't your country be happy!"

"This, where does this start, the envoy has not received any news about the withdrawal of the country."

"Humph!" Bai Liyan snorted angrily: "Lord Zhang, this evening Lu Jia went to Benhou's Mansion to speak wildly, Wei Guo has learned that our country has secretly assembled a large army to attack Wei Guo, and he mobilized 500,000 elites to rush to Dekang, how can Lord Zhang explain this matter." ”

Zhang Jie was shocked, and hurriedly said:

"How is this possible, how can Wei Guo know that your country is secretly assembling."

"Why, don't you know Lord Zhang!"

Bai Liyan asked, Zhang Jie was startled:

"Yongxinghou, what do you mean by this!"

"Hmph, what do you mean! My Xianguo is thousands of miles away from the capital of the country, and I have been riding horses for more than two months, and you have consulted with me on the second day of the fourth month, and then sent the news back through the hands of Lord Zhang, don't you have a little responsibility in your country! ”

"Hah!" Zhang Jie was taken aback: "Yongxing Hou, you can't talk nonsense, how can such a confidential matter be leaked to others." ”

"Lord Zhang naturally won't leak it, but Lord Zhang's subordinates, the eldest grandson, is there no one who has been bribed by the guards!"

Zhang Jie's feet jumped anxiously when he heard this, and he hurriedly defended:

"No, no, no, your country must have made a mistake, how can my king leak the news of such a fatal matter. It must have been a secret leaked from other sources. Oh, by the way, at that time, the young marquis Ji Kang, and the subordinates of the Yongxing Marquis Mansion were also there, whoever leaked the news could happen, how could they all rely on the head of the envoy. ”

Bai Liyan's face turned black when she heard the news, and she asked sharply:

"Hmph, according to Lord Zhang's meaning, Ben Hou leaked the news, right!"

Seeing that Baili Yan was not good at looking good and wanted to eat people, Zhang Jie was frightened enough in his heart, swallowed his saliva and dealt with it carefully:

"But it can't all be my country's fault."

"Hehe......" Bai Liyan sneered, and then said, "That's my country's fault?" ”

"This ......" Zhang Jie was speechless, of course he wanted to say this, but he also knew what the consequences would be.

After a battle of words, Zhang Jie was asked a hundred words, and then King Xian said impatiently:

"Enough, Zhang Envoy, now that the country is moving eastward, our country's secrets are gone, Zhang Envoy said, what should the widow do."

"Uh......" Zhang Jie thought about it, and couldn't hear what King Xian meant, but obviously it was very unfavorable for Xianguo to send troops again, but Xianguo did not send troops, even though the western front of Weiguo transferred 500,000 elites, but now both sides are on the defensive, before the guard attack Changsun Shoushang couldn't parry, Weiguo took 500,000 people to change to the defensive, even if Changsun attacked strongly, it was not cheap, so Xianguo must send troops, at least not let the guards withdraw 500,000 horses from Dekang, and even go north to attack Fangling County.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jie had no choice but to bite the bullet and say:

"The ambition of the wolf son of the patriotic country, coveting the Central Plains and coveting the wealth of the Xianguo country for a long time, if your country is afraid of the defense of the country and retreats from the matter, not only can you not get the respect of the country, but will definitely be deceived by the defense of the country in the future. If our country is defeated, the defense soldiers will definitely point to the Xianguo, and the king of Xian cannot turn a blind eye to such a cold reason. ”

"Hehe...... "King Xian sneered, and then said: "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, but the teeth are dead and the lips are warm." 500,000 elites of the country gathered in Dekang, and our Xian army only had more than 300,000 horses. ”

"Your country has dozens of 10,000 stone gunboats, which are enough to wipe out the strong enemy on both sides of the strait, and the defenders will inevitably be unable to withstand the divine might of your army, and they will definitely be defeated. At that time, the infantry army landed on a ship and was sure to win all battles, and the envoy believed that the Xian army would win. ”

Zhang Jie's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he didn't feel how ashamed he was at all. Even Bai Liyan, who has no bottom line and no shame, feels that his moral level is still too high when he hears this, and the so-called offline is not offline at all.

At this point, Zhang Jie's attitude couldn't be clearer, and his subtext was "No matter how much the Xian army has to pay for casualties, it must send troops." So this made the cabinet very unhappy, especially the prince, who did not advocate sending troops, and immediately expressed his opposition:

"Father, since the defense of the country has transferred an elite army to Dekang, and our country cannot send troops in advance, my son thinks that he should not continue to send troops to attack and defend, so as not to hurt the country's capital and affect the people's strength."

What the prince said was extremely true, and the widow was also hesitating whether there was still a need to send troops. Gao Aiqing, do you think you can continue to send troops? ”

"Back to the king, I attack and defend this battle across the river, although the minister is not a military attaché, but he also knows that the attacking side always has to be more than the defending side, even if our army's sea ships are powerful, the widest part of the Sishui River in the two counties of Ganfu Dekang is only two or three miles, no matter how far the sea boat artillery hits, but it is still in the river, and the artillery of the Weiguo Infantry Army only needs to return fire on the shore, and our army's sea boats have become targets on the river, which is extremely unfavorable.

In addition, the morale of the guards was high and the combat strength was fierce, and our army had not fought for a long time, and it was taking the initiative to attack, and under the preparation of the guards, it was difficult to achieve victory, and it might even lead to the annihilation of the whole army, so the ministers thought that it was not appropriate to send troops. Or, at the very least, it should join forces with the Jin State to send troops. ”

Gao Xun's lengthy passage is not the point, only the last half of the sentence "join forces with the Jin State to send troops" is the core.
