For the emperor, why would he rather let a prince who had never been on the battlefield lead a patchwork army to fight against the fierce Hu people, even if the prince was defeated and retreated from the west to Ruhua, he never showed the slightest intention of letting Mo Dongling come back. His intentions are not understood by others, but Li Zheng is clear.

Li Zheng said in his letter: Erchen would rather die on the battlefield than let the Li family's world rely on the Xiguan army to defend it.

Such words, in the emperor's ears is still quite moved, of course he will not really let the prince to die, so as early as when he just learned of the invasion of the Hu people, the emperor has already ordered the hidden line hidden in the Hu people for many years to instigate and divide the determination of the twenty-four patriarchs to join forces to fight this time It seems to be unified, he knows that the Hu people have always had serious infighting, and as long as they provoke a little, they will begin to scruple about each other, and this battle will naturally not last long.

A few days after the news was delivered, there was still no sign of civil unrest among the Hu people. The emperor was anxious, and sent a series of letters to the Hu people, but never received any reply. Of course, he didn't know that his dark lines had been investigated by Wang Xiang earlier and eradicated one by one. And the letter that the emperor went to was also sealed in the hands of Wang Xiang, and he even sent it to the twenty-four patriarchs with added fuel and vinegar, saying that the emperor of the Li Dynasty had done despicable tricks for many years, and secretly sent people to instigate them, and had been misunderstanding each other among the twenty-four patriarchs, which made the Hu clan unable to grow.

The twenty-four patriarchs are all good-faced people, although they are torn up in private, but their faces are a race over the ground of benevolence, righteousness and morality, listening to what the king said so, they naturally blame the Emperor Li Dynasty for the dirty things they have done with each other over the years, and for a time everyone was busy releasing their previous suspicions, busy complaining to each other, and busy with the same enemy, and the Hu army of Ruhua was naturally even more morale-boosting, and won every battle.

Sadly, Li Zheng, who was counting on rescue......

Father, please forgive the son-in-law for being incompetent, I'm afraid the son-in-law won't be able to hold Ruhua for too long. I heard that the Beiping rebels had been pacified, could they send part of the Xiguan army to aid Ruhua? If the Hu tribe attacked Youzhou, Erchen was only afraid that these barbarian troops would continue to march north without knowing whether they were alive or dead, but there would be no barrier after Youzhou, and if they continued to fight, it would be too close to the capital Lingjing.

Father, the son thought hard, if the Hu barbarian army was allowed to kill in Lingjing, even if the 40,000 forbidden troops in the capital were excellent, how dangerous it would be to fight at the feet of the Son of Heaven, why not transfer 10,000 forbidden troops to support the sons first?

Father, the situation in Ruhua is critical, the forbidden army and the Xiguan army are too far apart, I am afraid that the distant water will not be able to save the near fire. I heard that Her Royal Highness the princess has gathered a group of people and horses in Jiucheng and Yijiang to prepare for King Qin, she is the closest to her son, can she let the princess send troops to help?

Father's ......

One after another war reports and urgent letters, the original arrogance and ambition could not withstand the cruel reality, and the prince's handwriting became more and more sloppy. The emperor looked at the piles of small hills, and then looked at Yao Jin's yellow envelope, and couldn't help but hate it: "Yao Jin!"

At this moment, it is late at night, most of the people who are serving in the Zichen Palace have been dismissed, and Li Nan is also serving outside the palace from afar, the emperor understands very well that the time is pressing, he can no longer measure and consider, he must make a choice immediately: on the one hand, the Xiguan Army, Mo Dongling, the Queen, the Prince, and the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Xiguan Army, these people surnamed Mo, people with the blood of the Mo family, and people who obey the orders of the Mo family, together they are what a force that makes him jealous! For so many years, he has tried his best to balance the inextricable relationship between the military and the DPRK and China, so that the Xiguan Army and the Beiping Army can restrain each other.

On the other hand, he never thought that he personally promised Yao Jin's secret edict in order to prevent accidents, and ordered the rights of nine cities, one river and thirteen counties, and she was so bold as the princess of Fujian that she dared to take advantage of the invasion of the Hu tribe in Beiping to rebel, and took 30,000 horses to blackmail him, known as "Erchen is willing to go north to Ruhua, and Erchen has every certainty to help the prince repel the Hu barbarian army, but ask his father to first independent Jiucheng and Yijiang as a vassal state, and send troops for the Li Dynasty as a vassal state, which is really famous."

During the Warring States Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Qi Chuyan Han Zhao Wei Qin, which was not a vassal state of the Zhou Dynasty, which one listened to the Zhou Dynasty!" The emperor's knuckles struck the edge of the table one by one, and the flickering candle flame flickered and dimmed with the sound of the percussion, and the emperor's face was cloudy.

Cession of nine cities and one river as a vassal state, the matter is big, but Yao Jin's request is clear, and there is no side force behind him, Emperor Li understands that what she wants is freedom, and she will not have greater ambitions and schemes; and Mo Dongling, this seemingly cautious, perennial silent person stationed in the west, the queen's brother, the prince's uncle, he has never shown the slightest arrogance of merit, but he can't figure out what he thinks in his heart, if he will take all the military exploits from the west to the north......

Emperor Li Rui felt that it was difficult that he had never felt before, it was not that he could not manage to separate the relationship between Yao Jin and the 30,000 troops of the Nine Cities and One River, and it was not impossible to cultivate his people from the Mo Dongling army, but now everything was lost to time, and he had no time to do these things. If the Hu people pass through Youzhou, and the 100,000 dense forest army of Wei State has finished fighting Wei State, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not turn south, and the current defense of Beiping is weak, and it is difficult to resist the enemy at all......

This night, the Zichen Hall was lit with candles all night, the emperor did not speak, and Li Nan had to wait outside the hall with his eyelids carefully bold, watching the stars in the night sky, watching the starlight fading and brightening, watching the east gradually glow slightly white, and finally, the emperor's tired voice came from the hall: "Li Nan, pass the decree——"

The three clear decrees were handed down at the same time, one was to Mo Dongling of Wulian, ordering that in addition to the 10,000 soldiers and horses who had already gone to Beiping, the rest of the Xiguan army should immediately return to Ruhua and the western border; one was to Yingtang, the commander of the forbidden army, asking him to send 5,000 elite soldiers of the forbidden army to Ruhua as soon as possible, so as to control the battle situation and wait for the arrival of the Xiguan army, and at the same time let him personally lead the 30,000 forbidden army to Beiping Mountain, and after joining up with the 10,000 Xiguan army in Beiping, Yingtang would reorganize into a new Beiping army to guard the northern border; the other was to give Yao Jin, praise her for her intention to defend the country, and order her and 30,000 men and horses from nine cities and one river to go to the capital, temporarily assume the responsibility of the forbidden army, and protect the imperial city。

Mo Dongling and Ying Tang naturally acted on orders, each should be opened, and the troops should be dispatched. However, Yao Jin took this holy decree, and he really wanted to scold Emperor Li's eighteenth generation ancestors, and immediately slapped the table and threw the bench with a blue face, but fortunately, Zhao Yu dismissed everyone in time, so that Her Royal Highness the princess scolded happily, and kicked over her Nanmu chair by the way.
