After hearing about the movements of the Western Theater from Dian Xiaoer, Ling Xia was vaguely uneasy, he felt that the coalition headquarters might have been fooled, now Long Jiuzhong had already led four corps to set off for Xuzhoujiang, Ling Xia had to find a way to stop the transfer of troops from the Western Theater, he groaned for a while, he came to the backyard, at this time Xia Ning'er was packing up his clothes, seeing Ling Xia coming, she felt a little strange, ignored Xia Ning'er was surprised, as soon as they met, Ling Xia told the story of the matter as it was.

"What are you telling me all this for? I don't understand military affairs. Xia Ning'er looked at Ling Xia with a puzzled expression.

"This matter is related to the life and death of the coalition headquarters, and it is also related to the fate of tens of millions of soldiers of the Xia Dynasty, and there must be no mistakes." Speaking of this, Ling Xia took out a volume of secret letters, and said to Xia Ning'er with a serious expression: "I want to ask you to do two favors, now there is still an hour before you get sick, you quickly go to the governor's yamen, and use the flying eagle of the governor's yamen to pass this secret letter to Long Jiuzhong who is on the march, as long as he sees my secret letter, Long Jiuzhong will stop supporting Xu Zhoujiang." ”

"The governor's yamen? You should find the army to pass information to the battle guards, why do you use the channels of Wenchen to transmit information? Besides, Long Jiuzhong led the troops to the camp this morning, and you only passed on the information now, can you still have time? Taking the secret letter in Ling Xia's hand, Xia Ning'er fiddled with it, and then she looked at Ling Xia with a little doubt: "I usually live in the palace, and I rarely meet those court officials, what if this governor doesn't know me?" ”

"It's time, Long Jiuzhong sent troops this morning, that is, he is a rapid march this way, and at this time it is only about a hundred miles, and the flying eagle used by the imperial court to transmit information can fly two thousand miles day and night, you go to transmit information now, you can completely stop Long Jiuzhong, during the war, because of the needs of the battlefield, the generals have changed frequently, and the civil servants rarely adjust their positions because they need to stabilize the government affairs of various places, and the civil officials above the third grade will go to the imperial capital every year to face the saint to ask for peace, so most of these civil officials know you."

Speaking of this, seeing Xia Ning'er showing a thoughtful look, Ling Xia continued: "With Long Jiuzhong's marching speed, he must not have stepped out of the border of the Western Theater today, and the Western Theater is the territory of the Second Prince, and all the territories that are reused are Wenchen, so I can only pass on information through the channels of Wenchen, I have inquired, the governor of Xianjun Province is named Xia Mingyun, and he is a side branch of the imperial family in the imperial capital, he must know you, as long as you are sober, Xia Mingyun will definitely help you pass on information." ”

"Even if I let Xia Mingyun pass on the information, how can you guarantee that Long Jiuzhong will stop marching after receiving your information? Taking a step back, even if Long Jiuzhong left the army in the Western Theater of Operations, what role would that play? Long Jiuzhong's reinforcements are left, what should I do about the crisis in Xu Zhoujiang? The Japanese have gathered three corps to attack Xuzhoujiang, once it is captured, our most important military fortress will fall into the hands of the Japanese invaders, who will bear this responsibility? Xia Ning'er asked coldly.

"Huh? I underestimated you, I didn't expect you to be so familiar with today's war situation? Stunned, he glanced at Xia Ning'er, Ling Xia groaned slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "This is the second favor I want to ask you for, let's leave tonight, and we can rush to the coalition headquarters at noon tomorrow, at this time it is the second prince Xia Yuanwen who is on duty there, and now he is being squeezed out by the prince and the new emperor, we want to take advantage of his situation at this time to help him take over the power of the coalition headquarters."

Now among the three major forces, the new emperor Xia Yuanyou occupies the righteousness of the imperial court, long-distance and close-range attack, vertical and horizontal, and Nangong Hongru is disgusting and assisted, at present, his strength is the strongest, the prince because he abandoned the assistance of Xicheng Zhuweng, and chose to reuse Xia Yuanxiao, plus he is too addicted to war, so the strength is consumed the fastest, but because he has a good foundation, and he supports him are all generals, although he temporarily lost the war, but the background is still there, so his strength temporarily ranks second.

And the second prince Xia Yuanwen has been emphasizing literature and light on military force in the past few years, although he has gathered a large number of civil servants and strategists, but there are few generals to support him, this kind of lineup is okay in peacetime, but now it is a period of war, those civil ministers under his command can only give advice, but they dare not lead troops to fight, if he hadn't encircled the help of generalissimo Peng Tiangang, he would have been annexed by the other two factions, but even so, his strength is the weakest.

In the past, the three factions acted separately, restrained each other, and could barely maintain a balance, but because of the fact that the Japanese invaded Xu Zhoujiang, this balance was destroyed, and the eldest prince was threatened by the new emperor to withdraw his troops, and was temporarily forced to recognize the legitimate position of the emperor and the imperial court.

The prince didn't want to think about it, the emperor was afraid that he and the second prince would join forces, so he didn't dare to force them to hurry, and now the emperor used his power to suppress the second prince, in fact, he was eliminating his own hidden dangers, once the second prince was annexed in the future, the prince would lose this potential ally, and if the power of the second prince was destroyed by the emperor, the prince would be difficult to support alone, and it would be difficult to turn over in the future.

Nangong Hongru helped the emperor arrange a good chess hand, he used the opportunity of the invasion of the Japanese to create a war, consumed the strength of the prince and the second prince, and waited until the strength of the two was exhausted, that is, the day when the emperor eradicated dissidents, on the power scheme, this is indeed a good hand, in fact, to be honest, who is in power, who is the emperor has nothing to do with me, but I can't watch them fight for power and profit at this juncture, so I want to help the second prince seize control of the coalition headquarters and join forces with him to expel the Japanese invaders. ”

"Looks like you have a plan in mind." Standing up and snorting, Xia Ning'er picked up Ling Xia's secret letter, turned around and walked outside.

Not long after Xia Ning'er left, when Ling Xia was thinking about the plan to deal with the widows from the room, suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and then, the somewhat hoarse voice of the Iron Sword Mother-in-law came in: "Before, the old body and others didn't know the identity of the Engong, and it was only now that they learned the identity of the Engong, it turned out that the master of the horse rescued the five of me from the cage, and learned that the engong stayed here, and the five of the old man came to thank the engong for his rescue. ”

After hearing the voice of the Iron Sword Mother-in-law, Ling Xia smiled slightly, and secretly said in his heart: "I finally found it." ”

Thinking of this, Ling Xia opened the door with a smile, looking at the Iron Sword Mother-in-law, Yin Jiuxu, and Cangshan Three Heroes standing at the door, he smiled and said: "Jianghu people really have some doorways, I didn't expect you to find out my identity so quickly, hehe...... I've been waiting for a long time, so please come in. ”
