Xiao Shunzi replied: "Yes, I am surrounded at this time, waiting for His Majesty's orders." ”

Gongliang Rongruo was silent for a moment, and then said, "Bring him in." ”

"Yes." After Xiao Shunzi responded, he hurriedly retreated. By the time he came back, he had already brought Gongliang Yanqing back. Gongliang Yanqing rubbed his red wrist as he walked.

As soon as he saw Gongliang's words, he immediately said: "Brother Huang, what kind of person is that, how can he treat his brother as an assassin!" ”

"You're embarrassed to say that you are a dignified prince, secretly hiding outside, what kind of system has you become." Gongliang Rongruo deliberately ignored the first half of his sentence.

Gongliang Yanqing sneered: "Brother ...... And it wasn't intentional. ”

Gongliang Rongruo glared at him, "Okay, go to the front hall to greet the guests with the fifth brother." ”

"Yes." Seeing that he was not suspicious, Gongliang Yanqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, he was eavesdropping on their conversation with the prisoner, but he was discovered by someone, and it was too late to leave, so in order to cover the prisoner, he had to take the initiative to go out and lure the person away.

His martial arts are not weak, but in front of the person just now, he can't defeat ten moves, but I'm afraid that the commander of the forbidden army is not that person's opponent, I don't know where it came from. Thinking that Gongliang Rongruo had such a master hidden by his side, the fear in his heart was a little more.

Seeing that Gongliang Yanqing refused to leave for a long time, Gongliang Rongruo twisted his eyebrows and said, "What, there is still something?" ”

Gongliang Yanqing said hesitantly: "Brother Chen just heard the imperial brother outside saying that the loss of Minyang Valley is imminent, is it true?" ”

"Not bad. The state of Wu raised troops to invade and intercepted communications, so that we were nearly a month late to learn about the siege of Minyang, and it was already at stake. ”

Gongliang Yanqing said eagerly when he heard this: "Such a big event, why didn't the imperial brother tell the younger brother and the fifth brother?" ”

"Today is the day of the fifth brother's great joy, and I don't want to talk about these unhappy things. Don't tell him about Minyang Valley, I'll try to solve it. It's just a Wu country, and it can't make any big waves! ”

"The national strength of Wu and my Song State is about the same, and if it has been dormant for many years and once it comes, it must be fully prepared, and it must not be underestimated. According to the opinion of the younger brothers, it is better to call the other brothers to discuss together. ”

His behavior made Gongliang Rongruo very dissatisfied, his brows furrowed, and he was about to speak, when suddenly, Gongliangyu, dressed in a dark red robe, appeared at the door. He saw Zheng Yuan, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" ”

Gongliang Rongruo tugged at the corners of his stiff lips, "It's nothing, it's just a trivial matter." But you, as the groom, why did you leave so many guests and come here? Hurry back, I'll be there soon. ”

At this time, Gongliang Yanqing pretended to be impulsive and shouted: "Minyang Valley will be attacked by the army of Wu at any time, how can it be a trivial matter?" ”

"What?" Gongliang's words were suddenly taken aback. He had seen that Gongliang Rongruo's face was not good, and after saluting, he summoned King Pingyang and others to the side hall to discuss matters, and expected that something would happen. But he never expected that it would be such a big event.

Gongliang glared at Gongliang Yanqing unhappily, "Today is the wedding day of the fifth brother, and I really don't want to talk about these unhappy things." However, the military situation was urgent, and it was really impossible to delay, so I discussed with the king of Pingyang here. ”

"The matter of the younger brother is really not worth mentioning compared with the military situation related to the safety of the Song State." As he spoke, he said suspiciously: "It's just that my brother doesn't understand, why was Minyang Valley surrounded so suddenly?" ”

Gongliang Rongruo said helplessly: "It's not sudden at all, it's just that we all fell for Wu Guo's tricks." ”

After learning about the beginning and end of the matter and the predicament faced by the Song Kingdom, Gongliang Yu stopped muttering: "Forgive the courtiers and brothers, the law of the King of Pingyang may solve the danger of grain and grass, but it cannot solve the crisis of the Song Kingdom. ”

His words made King Pingyang's face sink, "Does King Ning think that my Song soldiers are no match for Wu soldiers?" ”

"Naturally not, it's just ...... Does the prince really think that there is only one Wu country that raised troops to attack my Song State this time? Although the relationship with the king of Pingyang is already regarded as Weng's son-in-law, Gongliang Yuzhi still maintains the original title, unfamiliar and polite.

King Pingyang also found out about this problem, but it was inconvenient to attack in front of Gongliang, so he only said: "King Ning may as well say it clearly if he has anything to say." ”

Gongliang stopped bowing his hand to Gongliang Rongruo, "For many years, the State of Wu, like Heshe, has been coveting the vast territory of my Song Kingdom, but they have never made a move, and even the battle of Heshe five years ago was more of a temptation. But now that Wu Guo has suddenly made such a big move, and there is a desperate posture of exhausting the national strength, doesn't Your Majesty think it's strange? ”

Gongliang Rongruo was silent, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "According to what you see, who is Wu Guo joining forces with?" ”

"It's possible for both Hersher and Xia Guo."

Gongliang Rongruo suddenly realized the abnormality of this battle situation, he was silent for a moment, and said coldly: "Once I send an army to Minyang Valley, the country that colludes with the Wu State will raise troops to attack and kill me by surprise, right?" ”

"Your Majesty is wise!"

If Gong Liangrong wanted to tighten his teeth, Sen Sen said: "Okay! It's really good! ”

Meng Tang glanced approvingly, "As King Ning said, this battle must be prepared with both hands. My Song State has 800,000 soldiers, even if there is a war between the two sides, it will not be a problem, it will just take time. But what is most lacking at the moment is time. ”

Gongliang Rongruo pondered for a moment, and said in a condensed voice: "The top priority is to stop the Wu army and not let them attack Kaifeng. Meng Aiqing, still according to the previous discussion. 80,000 troops, plus 100,000 soldiers from the military defense battalion, led by the king of Pingyang, went to Minyang Valley to resist the Wu army. ”

Gongliang said eagerly: "What about Xia Guo or Heshe?" By them to break the border? ”

Gongliang Rongruo had a chill in his eyes, and he replied: "I will send an edict to gather soldiers to the south and west respectively, I believe it will be enough to resist for a while." And this time is enough for me to gather troops and horses and integrate the army! ”

Everyone was silent, and now it seems that there is only this way. At this moment, Gongliang Yuzhi suddenly knelt down, "Your Majesty, my brother requests to lead troops to the north and recapture Minyang Valley!" ”

Gongliang Rongruo was slightly surprised by his actions, and then refused: "No, you just got married, how can you lead the troops to the battle." The king of Pingyang has experienced a hundred battles, and with him leading the troops, aren't you still at ease? ”

"Naturally not, but ......" Before he could finish speaking, Gongliang Rongruo interrupted: "Okay, this matter is settled." Hello fifth brother, you are born in the mansion to take care of the two princesses. After that, he patted Gongliang's shoulder, lowered his voice and said: "Wu Guo is coming to attack, this battle is bound to be dangerous, I don't want you to have anything to do." That's all for this, I'll go back to the palace first. King Pingyang and Meng Qing also follow me. ”
