Hearing that there were five days left to start a war with the Japanese Invaders, Ling Xia was taken aback, and hurriedly asked what was going on, looking at Ling Xia's anxious expression, Lu Zhuweng sighed, and then told Ling Xia the reason for the matter, it turned out that the reinforcements from the Southern Theater would be able to reach the military garrison in the Eastern Theater in four days.

This time it was Zhang Huaji, the commander of the Southern Theater, who led the troops, Zhang Huaji and Zhuge Yiyan joined forces to sit in the Southern Theater, although the Southern Theater is the defense area of the four princes of the imperial capital, but I don't know if the prince has reached an agreement with the imperial capital? The imperial capital actually allowed Zhang Huaji to lead five corps to support the Eastern Theater.

According to the order of the coalition headquarters, Zhang Huaji and the reinforcements arrived at the war zone four days later, and after a day's rest, Gu Xiuyuan, Zhang Huaji, Kong Yikong, Lu Jianxing, Pan Futian, Zhen Long, and Ruan Moxuan each led a corps out of the city to fight, and Lu Zhuweng led three corps to sit in the headquarters.

Now the participating legions are receiving and rationing equipment, and the main battlefield is in the "Pingling Hill" a hundred miles away, "at that time, the soldiers will need to sleep in the wilderness, so the war zone has prepared a large number of tents, quilts, cooking utensils, and various healing medicines, and Gu Xiuyuan and the two are busy deploying materials at this time.

Asking what happened, Ling Xia kicked the ground angrily, he walked up to Lu Zhu Weng and looked at him with a dissatisfied expression: "I said very clearly that day, we can't start a full-scale war with the Japanese Kou, Zhu Weng, Zhu Weng, you are the person who entrusted the orphan of the first emperor, why don't you persuade the prince?" ”

"Don't you think I can persuade the prince?" In a lonely tone, he responded to Ling Xia's words, and Lu Zhuweng sighed with his hands on his back: "After the death of the first emperor, I gave the prince a total of three strategies.

The first is to unite the two princes to force the four princes of the palace, the second is to ask him to send troops to support Nangong Xiongba when the northern theater is defeated, and the third is to rely on the terrain to hold the eastern theater.

But he didn't accept any of them, the prince felt that he was old and frail, and he couldn't be used, so he sent me here, on the surface, I was deeply relied on by the prince, but behind the scenes, everyone understood that the real henchmen were kept by his side, and how could he be sent to the front line to die? Let me tell you the truth, if it weren't for the fear that the Eastern Theater would be defeated, the old man would have retreated to the mountains and forests a long time ago, alas...... I've failed the emperor. ”

"You can't be blamed for that." After comforting Lu Zhu Weng, Ling Xia thought for a moment, and then said softly: "Zhu Weng and Marshal, if we jointly write a letter to the above, can we reverse the situation?" Let's get past the crown prince and the coalition headquarters, and let the others intervene to contain this war. ”

"Alas...... It's useless, let's not talk about it here, now even the southern theater of the Four Princes' camp has participated in the war, and only the Second Prince's camp is left among the three major forces, but you also know that the Second Prince's side has never paid attention to military affairs, so as long as the crown prince and the four princes reach a consensus, no one will be able to stop this war. Gu Xiuyuan said in a low voice.

"If that's the case, then we can only let the facts speak, maybe after a big defeat, the prince and the coalition headquarters will be able to wake up, I hope my previous inferences are wrong." With a low groan, Ling Xia turned to leave, and when he left, he told Gu Xiuyuan and the two that after the war began, they should ask for more instructions and make fewer decisions, so as not to take the blame for others after the defeat.

When he came back from the theater headquarters, Ling Xia called Lao Cui to him, and as soon as they met, he gave Lao Cui a task: "Within four days, we will eliminate the Japanese spies in the army to the greatest extent, and all those who are suspected, whether they are soldiers or generals, will be detained in the war zone for examination and forbidden to participate in the war." ”

"This ......" Lao Cui hesitated for a moment, and said with a look of embarrassment: "It's not appropriate to do this, right?" What if you deduct someone wrong? ”

"So you have to give me a careful and careful screening, if you deduct the wrong person, then you have to come forward and apologize." After sending Lao Cui out, Ling Xia thought for a moment, then stood up: "I have to personally interrogate those spies to see if I can dig up some information." ”

As the words fell, Ling Xia got up and left the tent.
