When Zhang Zhidu opened his worried eyes, he was stunned for several seconds before he figured out where he was.

Accompanying King Xin out is harder than being on duty in the palace.

After taking the handkerchief handed by the guard and wiping his face casually, Zhang Zhidu asked, "What time is it?" ”

"It's three o'clock."

Yo, it's so late. King Shin should be in a hurry, right?

Zhang Zhidu got up from the bed, and he only felt a little sore all over his body. This midnight ride and lying in a kimono made him tired.

Seeing Zhang Zhidu, whose eyes were red and his face was haggard, Zhu Youzhen pretended to be surprised and greeted loudly: "Third Brother Zhang, when did you come?" Why doesn't Lone know? ”

Looking at King Shin's pretended surprised face, Zhang Zhidu couldn't wait to punch this nasty face.

Can this pompous expression be any more fake?

But no matter how pompous his expression is, he is also a king of faith.

Not only could he not fight, but he had to bow helplessly, and Zhang Zhidu replied politely: "The young general came here last night." When he arrived, His Highness was already asleep, so he didn't dare to alarm His Highness. ”

Yo, that sounds familiar. Zhu Youzhen couldn't help laughing.

took a step forward and punched Zhang Zhidu in the chest, Zhu Youzhen said hatefully: "Third Brother Zhang, shouldn't you just set off today?" What are you doing with such a tight following? Look, you haven't slept well, and you can't be free. ”

"My Highness," Zhang Zhidu relaxed after being punched.

He directly called out to Qu Lai, "Your Highness, you have wronged your brother to death." When you want to come overnight, it's not a holy overnight message. Holy arrangement, I dare to disobey? I only have one head. ”

Seeing the expression of King Xin's disbelief, Zhang Zhidu felt even more aggrieved.

"Your Highness, don't you want to think about what status you have in the heart of the Holy One? You want to be a little troubled, can the Holy One spare me? You can do it, just let me follow you.

I promise I won't give you any trouble, you can go whatever you want. As long as you can return to Beijing on time, you can let me hand over my errand in front of the Holy One. Zhang Zhidu spinelessly said his plan directly.

Zhang Zhidu thought very simply, anyway, he couldn't make the decision for King Xin. Instead of offending King Xin, it is better to simply hand over the dominant power in exchange for King Xin's favor. He talked about the emperor's strict order ahead, and King Xin should be able to give him this face, right?

Zhang Zhidu looked at King Xin worriedly, waiting for King Xin's final verdict.

"Okay, then it's settled." Zhu Youzhen smiled and grinned. Zhang Zhidu is so good at being a man, of course Zhu Youzhen has to give him this face.

"Third brother, you go wash and eat first, and when Mr. Xu comes, let's set off again." Zhu Youzhen turned his head and shouted, "Don't hurry up and prepare food for Commander Zhang." ”

After taking a few steps, Zhu Youzhen stopped and instructed Zhang Zhidu: "Third brother, you all change into civilian clothes, let's also come to him for a private visit." ”

Looking Zhang Zhidu up and down, Zhu Youzhen's gaze stopped at Zhang Zhidu's wrinkled clothes.

"You wouldn't be without civilian clothes, would you? If you don't bring it, I'll send someone to prepare it for you. ”

"Then there is His Highness Lao. We were in a hurry, and we didn't really bring any civilian clothes. Zhang Zhidu said unceremoniously.

"That's it, the clothes will be arranged by Lone." Zhu Youzhen said with a smile: "The brothers don't have civilian clothes, so they all change a few clothes from the Zhuang family first. When they entered the city, they found a garment shop and gave each of the brothers a new coat. ”

Microservice private interview, what a feeling.

Zhu Youzhen walked out of the courtyard with excitement.

"Your Majesty, by all means?" Hearing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was going to disband the Guan Ning army, Wei Zhongxian couldn't think about the emperor's mind anymore, and directly raised his head and shouted.

Wei Zhongxian, who raised his head, saw the expressionless face of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

Looking at the expressionless face of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian's heart struck. Could it be that Your Majesty really wants to support Sun Chengzong to the end? Your Majesty wants to give up the Guan Ning Army for Sun Chengzong?

"Your Majesty, the Guan Ning Army must not be disbanded!" Although Wei Zhongxian was frightened, he still shouted resolutely.

"Your Majesty, if the Guanning army is disbanded, the Ningyuan defense line will have no soldiers available, and once the Houjin Tartars call, the hard work of several years will be wasted." Wei Zhongxian quickly weighed it in his heart, and chose to say the most conservative possibility.

"Alas," the Emperor of the Apocalypse sighed lightly, "with Guan Ningjun's performance of fleeing from the wind, how can I believe that they can hold Ningyuan?" ”

Hearing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse had not yet made up his final decision, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly persuaded further.

"Guan Ningjun is like a dog guarding the household. It's not okay to go out hunting, but staying at home to take care of the family and the yard should still have some combat power. Wei Zhongxian reported the results of the eunuch party's painstaking analysis many times directly.

"The Dog of the Household? Hehe. The Emperor of the Apocalypse sneered, "Although Liuhe is our defeat, will the Houjin Old Slave come to retaliate?" When do you think the old slave will come to commit it? ”

Wei Zhongxian chuckled in his heart.

Listening to the tone, the Emperor of the Apocalypse thought that Hou Jin would inevitably come to attack Ning Yuan. How did the emperor determine that the old slave would inevitably commit? This is something that none of his wise men dare to precipitate.

However, since the emperor asked so, Wei Zhongxian also put together the results of the judgment of the think tank.

"Back to Your Majesty, if the Houjin Old Slave raises troops to attack, it will be in November at the earliest. If it is late, it should be between January and February after the year. ”

"Why not earlier?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse asked coldly.

"The old slave is well versed in the art of war, and he will not dare to fight me before the autumn harvest. If you start before the autumn harvest, once the siege is not reached, the old slaves will starve to death next year. We will win without a fight. Wei Zhongxian said with great certainty.

Wei Zhongxian was actually very eager for Nurhachi to attack the Ming before the autumn harvest.

If Nurhachi moves troops before the autumn harvest, the Ming Dynasty only needs to withstand Houjin's attack in Ningyuan; Even if Ning Yuan can't stand it, as long as he can burn the grain depot in time.

If the harvest season is lost, there is no longer enough food to be grabbed, and the old slaves are starving all over the wilderness, which is a sure result. Wei Zhongxian has enough confidence in this.

Unfortunately, Nurhachi also had enough judgment on this situation, and as long as he did not go crazy, he would never use his troops before the autumn harvest.

Hearing Wei Zhongxian's confident judgment, the face of the Emperor of the Apocalypse finally changed. His expression seemed to become strange.

As if recalling something, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was stunned for a while, and then sighed reluctantly and handed the piece in his hand to Wei Zhongxian.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a sigh: "Wei Daban, you can take this piece and study it carefully. Arrange Liaodong affairs as soon as possible, and don't let Master Sun's hard work go to waste. Go, don't let me down again. ”

Concerto, this is Sun Chengzong's concerto?

Wei Zhongxian was surprised.

Gonggong Wei was not surprised that Sun Chengzong's recital would be in the hands of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he was surprised that the emperor would give him Sun Chengzong's recital.

The attitude and language of the Emperor of the Apocalypse made Wei Zhongxian feel furious, and he couldn't wait to find out what was written in Sun Chengzong's recital.

Picking up the piece, Wei Zhongxian left in a hurry.
