"Lord, Taiyuan is here to report, and the state family is in turmoil!" Dian Wei hurriedly rushed into Xiang Ao's military tent and reported to Xiang Ao with a panicked face.

Xiang Ao and Jia Xu, who were on the map, raised their heads to look at Dian Wei, and Xiang Ao turned his head to look at Jia Xu again.

"The lord is really far-sighted!" Jia Xu stared at Xiang Ao with admiration on his face, and said: "Fortunately, I sent Gonghe back to Taiyuan to assist Kong Ming before, otherwise Kong Ming would have been alone, and I am afraid it would be difficult to deal with." ”

When Xiang Ao heard this, he shook his head lightly, and said with a slightly wry smile: "How can I be far-sighted, I have developed so far, and I have stepped on the shoulders of the family, and it is strange that the family of the state does not resist." ”

"Avechet, take your time!" Xiang Ao handed Dian Wei a large bowl of tea, and Dian Wei took the big bowl and drank it down. Dian Wei, who had quenched his thirst a little, put down the big bowl and said with a slight pant: "A letter from Chief Hu is headed by the Taiyuan Wang family in Bingzhou, and more than 30 large and small families in Taiyuan Qi County, Jinyang Wang, Taiyuan Guo and more than 30 large and small families in Bingzhou are attacking the General's Mansion!" ”

"How?"

Xiang Ao frowned, although he had long known that the family would definitely disturb his rear, but Xiang Ao did not expect that there would be so many. Jia Xu on the side also frowned deeply, and his face was very worried.

"Taiyuan Guo family, Guo Huai. Taiyuan Wang family, Wang Ling. Wen family in Qi County, Wen Hui. Jointly wrote to the General's Mansion, asking the General's Mansion to allocate the Youzhou region according to the proportion of land occupied by each family when Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Not only that, but at the same time, families from all over the country gathered their slaves and gathered more than 10,000 troops to besiege the Taiyuan General's Mansion. ”

"Daring!" Xiang Ao was furious, and slammed the ring ruler in his hand as a guide to the ground, with a crisp sound, and the ring ruler was broken in response.

"This duke did not care about the family and sought justice for the people, but he didn't know the current affairs, and when Bengong sent troops to attack Yuan Shao, he rebelled! Damn it! ”

Jia Xu was beside him, looking indifferent, but the worry between his eyebrows was extremely obvious. In order to crusade against Yuan Shao, the Bingzhou army was completely eliminated, and the northern army was now Xianbei, preventing Xianbei from disturbing the border when the Bingzhou army went south. The Western Army and the Southern Army stationed troops in Shangjun and Xihe County. Not to mention, most of the Eastern Army is still in Youzhou, dealing with the affairs of Youzhou that has just been captured.

At this time, in the hinterland of Bingzhou, in addition to the two or three thousand reserve troops left in the cities, it was difficult for the soldiers and horses in Tuntian to be gathered immediately.

"Don't worry, lord!" Jia Xu got up, came to Xiang Ao, bowed lightly and continued: "Although Brother Kong Ming is good at internal affairs, when it comes to wisdom, he is not inferior to his subordinates. In addition, the frustrated prince and the lord were sent back to Taiyuan in advance, and there must be precautions in Taiyuan. ”

"Although there are many handsome people in the family, in the opinion of Xu, among the families of Bingzhou, there is no one who can compare with Kong Ming and Gonghe." Jia Xu said slowly, and seemed to have a clearer and clearer idea: "Since Brother Kong Ming, Gong and Brother are already on guard, and let the soldiers of the Bingzhou family surround Taiyuan, I'm afraid..."

After being angry, Xiang Ao's eyes also lit up after listening to Jia Xu's remarks, and his worried look quickly retreated and said: "What Wen He said is extremely true! From this point of view, I'm afraid that Kong Ming and Gonghe's plan is not just to suppress the family's resistance! ”、

Dian Weimu, who finally gasped for breath on the side, was stunned and looked at his lord and military advisor talking about it on the side, especially after seeing Xiang Ao relax, Dian Wei was a little anxious in his heart, and hugged his fist at Xiang Ao and said: "Lord, the troops in Taiyuan City are empty, and it is difficult for the surrounding army to come back to help. The last general asks for battle, and only needs to lead 2,000 feathers to rush back to Taiyuan, and he will be able to wipe out the rebels! ”

Xiang Ao glanced at Dian Wei, his face was full of satisfaction and relief. Xiang Ao stepped forward and patted Dian Wei on the shoulder, and comforted: "Ah Wei doesn't need to panic, Kong Ming, Gong and Nai are today's heroes, and they should be able to deal with some rebels, and there are still two thousand elite city guards in Taiyuan City, who can deal with it." ”

"Think twice!" Dian Wei didn't seem to have any intention of giving up, and continued to advise: "There are not only chief Hu officials and frustrated people in Taiyuan City, but also ladies and little masters, there must be no mistakes!" He also asked the lord to agree and let Awei lead the troops back to Taiyuan. ”

Most of the family members of Xiang Ao's ministers and generals are in Taiyuan City. Although the heirs of all of them are talented, whether they are literate or martial, they are young after all. It's normal for Dian Wei to be worried.

Seeing that Dian Wei was unwilling to give up, Jia Xu also chuckled and stepped forward to comfort: "Isn't General Dian confident in Kong Ming and Gonghe?" General Dian also said, isn't there still a little lord in the city? ”

Jia Xu focused on Xiang Ping, which made Dian Wei stunned, and he couldn't help but recall Xiang Ping who was only one in ten years old. Xiang Ping, who was regarded as a treasure by everyone in the general's mansion, was only in his early tens, and his body length was already more than half of seven feet (Han ruler, about one meter seven after conversion), and the terrifying strength of his arms amazed the generals in Bingzhou.

Xiang Ping seems to have completely inherited Xiang Ao's advantages, not only is he burly and has a superb understanding, but his practice in the art of war is also behind most of his peers and even most of the generals who have already enlisted in the army. Under the leadership of Xiang Ping, the sons of Xiang Ao's ministers and generals have few stubborn children, and all the descendants of the state are either good at martial arts or good at scheming.

Although it is young and immature, if it continues to develop like this, the potential of the next generation will be limitless.

Thinking of this, Dian Wei put away his worried expression, took a deep breath and said: "What the lord and the military advisor said is extremely true, but the last general is dizzy. ”

Hearing this, Xiang Ao chuckled lightly, patted Dian Wei's shoulder slightly, and said no more.

When I learned the news at the front and was worried about Taiyuan. At this time, in Taiyuan City, there was not the slightest timidity and uneasiness.

"Uncle Hu!" Xiang Ping, who was almost the same height as Hu Zhao, Fu Zhu and others, took Dian Man (the son of Dian Wei) and Jiang Ren (the son of Jiang Yan) to the meeting hall where Hu Zhao was, and said solemnly to Hu Zhao: "My nephew asks for battle, and I am willing to lead the guards in the city to protect the safety of Taiyuan!" ”

"Go too, kids!" "Nephew too!"

Xiang Ao said, without waiting for Hu Zhao to answer. Even the son of Hu Zhao, who was less than six years old, Hu Ming brought a few of the same positive shouts. Among Xiang Ao and his generals, Xiang Ping, Jiang Ren, and Dian Man, who have reached the age of ten, are the only three, and the rest are children ranging from three to seven or eight years old.

Hu Zhao looked at Xiang Ping with a black face, and roared with blame in his eyes: "Nonsense! After the little lord is the lord, his personal safety is related to the safety of the entire state, and even the safety of Youzhou, how can he step forward recklessly? ! ”

Hu Zhao got up, saluted Xiang Ping's dissatisfaction, and crossed Xiang Ping, and fell on the children in the hall, and shouted angrily: "What are you waiting for? The little lord is reckless, and he doesn't advise, but he follows nonsense! Have you seen how the old man teaches you and others to assist the little master on weekdays? ”

When the children saw Hu Zhao angry, they all looked timid and pushed back slightly, but Xiang Ping, Dian Wei, Jiang Ren and Hu Ming did not move at all, and did not intend to back down. Xiang Ping coughed lightly and muttered softly: "Uncle Hu just passed and stood up, how old is it?" ”

Although Xiang Ping's voice was very small, it made Hu Zhao in front of him hear it clearly, and Hu Zhao's face turned even darker.

"All stand down!" Hu Zhao was not angry with Xiang Ping, so he had to yell at everyone in displeasure.

Xiang Ao took another step forward and said, "Dare to ask the chief, Xiang Ping is from the state?" ”

"That's nature!" Hu Zhao put away his anger and replied with an extremely wary expression. If you don't be vigilant, you can't do it, in the entire general's mansion, there is no one who has not suffered from the suffering of his own outstanding young master. If it was like on weekdays, Xiang Ping was a little nonsense, Hu Zhao could still keep a straight face, take out the posture of a teacher, and let Xiang Ping step down, but as long as Xiang Ping started to debate, maybe some terrifying remarks would come out.

"Since Ping'er is also a member of the state, now that the state is in trouble, should Ping'er come forward?"

"Ridiculous!" Hu Zhao shouted slightly angrily: "There are countless generals under the command of the lord, and there are few capable people, when do you need to wait for children to go into battle?" ”

"Then dare to ask the chief. If the enemy attacks and breaks the city, can you remember that Ping'er is just a child, and his subordinates will be merciful? ”

"Uh..." Hu Zhao was dumbfounded, on the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, and it is inseparable, not to mention that Xiang Ping is the son of Xiang Ao. The family rebelled, how could they let go of Xiang Ping, who was like a god?

"Since the enemy will not show mercy, why can't Ping'er go into battle to kill the enemy?" Xiang Ping looked at Hu Zhao solemnly and continued: "If Ping'er is born weak, he can't dance a sword or a sword. But Ping'er has the true inheritance of his father, even if he is a warrior in the army, there are few opponents of Ping'er, how can Ping'er shrink back and watch the warriors of Bingzhou die in front of him? ! ”

"Since my father entered the state, what piece of land has not been taken by my father at the risk of death? Ping'er has no great talent, he just wants to be able to follow in the footsteps of his father, protect the state, protect Youzhou, and protect the people of the world! ”

Xiang Ping said loudly, said with a righteous face, and bowed deeply to Hu Zhao: "Please agree, let Xiang Ping fight, and protect the people of Taiyuan!" ”

Hu Zhao looked at Xiang Ping in front of him, and suddenly, he felt that Xiang Ping was like his lord Xiang Ao, standing in front of him, like a mountain, indestructible.

"Please allow us to fight for the first time!" Behind Xiang Ping, Dian Man and Jiang Ren also knelt on one knee and hugged their fists at Hu Zhao to fight. Although Dian Man and Jiang Ren are not as burly as Xiang Ping, their sturdy bodies are nearly seven feet (about one meter six), and they are usually diligent in exercising, Dian Man and Jiang Ren look much braver than ordinary people.

Hu Zhao took a deep breath, stared at the three people in front of him for a long time, raised his head and looked straight ahead, and said in a very solemn voice: "Xiang Ping, Dianman, Jiang Ren listen to the order!" ”

"The last general will obey the order!" The three of them raised their heads excitedly and looked at Hu Zhao with bright eyes.

"Sir!" The frustrated professor who had been watching for a long time finally couldn't suppress the worry in his heart, and planned to step forward to dissuade him. Hearing this, Hu Zhao shook his head lightly, and continued: "Order Xiang Ping to temporarily act as the governor of Taiyuan, with Dianman and Jiang Ren as deputies, and lead the city guards to resist the incoming enemy!" ”

"No!"
