"Girl." He bowed and did not speak, his expression a little solemn in the candlelight.

Ye Xuemei asked, "But what happened?" ”

The prisoner replied in a low voice: "Just now, Chenxing sent a few people over, saying that they were ordered by the prince to protect the girl. Also, I found someone spying on me. ”

Ye Xuemei's expression changed, and she sat up straight, "What person?" ”

Under Ye Xuemei's gaze, the prisoner replied, "Tianqin Pavilion." ”

Rong Xiang was stunned and said, "Emperor Song's people? As soon as the words fell, she seemed to think of something, and said eagerly: "Could it be that he has discovered the secret of the Night Camp?" ”

The prisoner thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "The people sent by Tianqin Pavilion this time are average, and I don't look like they found us. ”

Rong Xiang thought about it, "But apart from the Dark Night Camp, what else do we have here that is worth their surveillance?" ”

Ye Xuemei recalled the words before the prisoner and asked, "You said that the prince asked Chenxing to send someone to protect me?" ”

"Yes, Chenxing received a message from the shadow prisoner flying pigeon, saying that the prince named the Dark Night Camp to send additional people to protect the girl and Concubine Chen."

The night breeze swept in, blowing a few magnolia flowers placed on the long table near the window, and the weak petals could not bear the wind force, and rose from the branches, flying in the hall with the wind. It wasn't until after the wind was exhausted that it slowly fell, and one of them landed on Ye Xuemei's dress, as if it was printed on it.

Reaching out and twisting the flower, with the slight force of the nails, a crooked nail mark appeared on the petals, and the juice slowly seeped out, "The problem is not with the Dark Night Camp, but ...... Rajah! ”

The prisoner nodded solemnly, "It was the moon prisoner who went to see Chenxing, I asked him, and he said that although the letter from the flying pigeon did not say it clearly, but the prince's side should be in trouble." ”

Ye Xuemei was silent, her fingertips slowly turned the magnolia flower, and after a long time, she said: "Mi prisoner, you will go out of the city early tomorrow morning, and after seeing the prince, ask him what happened over there, and then the flying pigeon will tell the moon prisoner." ”

"Good!" Mi Prisoner nodded in response.

As the days passed, the weather became hotter and hotter, and the trees were full of cicadas that broke through the ground, screaming hoarsely in the white sun.

Rong Xiang fanned Ye Xuemei to cool off, Ye Xuemei looked at the military book that Zhao Feng transported from Jiangning on the side, and when she saw half of it, her thoughts were confused, she put the book on the desk, and asked, "Is there any news from the prince's side?" ”

"Nope. The girl doesn't have to worry too much, in the past month or so, the prince has forced the Wu army to retreat with his three talents, and I believe that he will soon be able to drive them out of the north. However, there was one thing that the slave maid found very strange. ”

"What's the matter?"

"For more than a month since the prince went on the expedition, His Majesty has been ordering the military department to transfer troops, and at this time nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses have been mobilized. I heard that Meng Shangshu of the Ministry of War asked for troops several times, but he was suppressed by His Majesty. Although the prince has the upper hand at this time, there are not enough soldiers in the end, if he gets these 100,000 soldiers, he will be able to strengthen his wings and quickly expel the Wu army. ”

Ye Xuemei replied: "There's nothing strange about it, he is now suspicious of the prince, unless the Song army is defeated, he will definitely not increase his troops." Even if it is a last resort, it really reaches the point where it is necessary to increase the army, with his temperament, he will first dismiss the prince's position as commander on the grounds that it is unfavorable to go to war, and replace him with his own henchmen, not to mention guarding against the Xia Kingdom that is eyeing the tiger. Perhaps, in his opinion, losing to Wu is far better than returning victorious. ”

Rong Xiang said in disbelief: "Wu State invaded the border, how many people died, and how many soldiers died in bloody battles for this, how could he, as the emperor of the Song State, think like this." ”

Ye Xuemei smiled coldly, "How can the lives of ordinary people and soldiers be compared to the supreme throne?" The Heavenly Family is noble, but the Heavenly Family is also the most ruthless. Have you forgotten how the king died? Your Majesty doesn't even care about the lives of your own brothers, do you still expect him to pity those people who are humble and don't know each other? ”

Rong Xiang said indignantly: "Having such a monarch is really the sorrow of the people of the Song Kingdom. In the eyes of outsiders, King Xin drowned by accident, but these people understood that King Xin died at the hands of Gongliang Rongruo.

Ye Xuemei glanced at her, "It's just a matter of saying this sentence here, when you go out of this door, you are not allowed to say it again." ”

"The slave knows." As soon as Rong Xiang's words fell, a hot wind poured in, and someone pushed the door in, it was the moon prisoner.

"Girl, I just received the news that Xia Guo has sent troops!"

Ye Xuemei's eyes lit up, and she stared at the moon prisoner tightly and said, "Where are the troops?" But the North? ”

The moon prisoner shook his head and said astringently, "It's the Eastern Realm." ”

"East?" This answer made Ye Xuemei stunned, and Rong Xiang couldn't believe it, "The Xia Kingdom is located in the north of the Song Kingdom, how can it be possible to send troops to the eastern border, did you hear it wrong?" ”

Ye Xuemei's long eyelashes trembled slightly, "But it's from Wu Kingdom?" ”

The moon prisoner nodded solemnly, "The 100,000 army of the Xia State passed through the Wu State, and when the prince and the Wu army were fighting, they sent troops to sneak attack, the prince was caught off guard, and the army suffered heavy losses. ”

Ye Xuemei was shocked and hurriedly asked, "What about the prince?" Is he alright? ”

"Don't worry, girl, there are shadow prisoners to protect them, and the prince is fine."

Hearing the good words, Ye Xuemei's heart was relieved, her thoughts flew again, and after a long time, she sneered: "What a Murong Yu, even I didn't calculate him to this point." ”

Whether it was her or Gongliang, they all thought that even if Xia Guo formed an alliance with Wu State and attacked Song State together, they would also send troops from the north, but they never expected that Xia State would actually pass through Wu State and join Wu's army.

In this expedition, Gongliang Yuzhi had less than 200,000 soldiers in his hands, and because of the rush of time, there were still many old and weak soldiers. The number of Wu's army was more than 300,000, and if it weren't for the three-talent array, it would be impossible for him to suppress Wu's army to the death, but this was the limit.

Although the Sancai Array is exquisite and exquisite, it is not unbreakable, and after many days of fighting, I am afraid that the formation mages of the Wu State have already studied the clues, not to mention that the current Xia State has increased its troops by 100,000, which has long exceeded the limit of public conscience. If Gong Liangrong does not increase his troops, the follow-up battle, the Song side will be extremely difficult, and the odds of winning will continue to be compressed, and even ...... Fail!

Rong Xiang also thought of this question, and said hesitantly: "Right now, the State of Wu and the State of Xia are working together to besiege the prince, Your Majesty should increase the army, right?" ”

"Difficult!" Ye Xuemei said with a gloomy face.

Rong Xiang hurriedly said: "But, but that's a whole army of 400,000, he is a god as a prince, can he sprinkle beans into a soldier?" ”

Ye Xuemei said in a deep voice: "I said that for Your Majesty, it is better for the prince to lose than to win. ”

Rong Xiang was overwhelmed by what she said, "That'...... So what to do? ”
