When King Chen left the capital, he took Xu Zhonghang with him, but left Qiu Luoxue behind. After all, Qiu Luoxue's current identity is the queen, and if he wants to plot to seize the throne, Qiu Luoxue's role is not great.

After leaving the capital, King Chen did not return to his territory, but found a place to hide. First, it will help him command the battle; Second, he was sick and couldn't go far. But as for where he is, no one knows.

"Still no news from King Chen?" Qiu Luoxue asked.

"Nope. Now the only one who knows the news of King Chen is AVIC. He didn't send a letter for so long, probably because the side was very strict, and he couldn't find a chance. ”

Xia Zimo calmly analyzed the current situation. King Chen has already raised troops to rebel, and he doesn't need to pretend to be a faint king. Everything has returned to before, Xia Zimo is diligent, wise, and has the demeanor of a king.

The only difference is that Qiu Luoxue can no longer discuss state affairs with Xia Zimo in the court, and her seat is replaced by Xia Ziyan. The efforts of the two brothers joining forces for the national government can be seen.

Xia Zimo's return to the court gave the ministers who were standing in his camp motivation and hope; But it made the people in King Chen's camp tremble, and after King Chen left, they lost their backbone and directionless.

And Mrs. Wu saw the opportunity and secretly operated among them. Persuade those people not to support King Chen anymore, and before it's too late, abandon the darkness and turn to the light as soon as possible.

AVIC ...... It's going to be okay, right? ”

Qiu Luoxue was a little worried about Xu Zhonghang's situation, he was now fighting alone, and no one had news of him. Is it dead or alive, auspicious or vicious......

"Don't worry, King Chen is seriously ill and needs him very much. Even if King Chen found out his true purpose, he would not kill him. Xia Zimo's words seemed to give Qiu Luoxue a reassurance.

Now not only Qiu Luoxue is worried about Xu Zhonghang's situation, but Wu Xianchu is the most worried about him. In the past few days, she has not stopped, she keeps walking around the room and the courtyard, and from time to time she has to ask if there is any news of Xu Zhonghang.

"Xian Chu, you haven't eaten much in a few days, come and eat some." Su Muyi persuaded.

Wu Xianchu was still walking back and forth, and she could see her anxiety, and she said, "I can't eat."

Su Muyi was very uneasy when she saw her like this, and walked over to hold her hand, only to find that Wu Xianchu's hands were cold and sweaty.

"Ah, why are your hands so cold?" Su Muyi asked.

"I'm fine, I'm just too worried about AVIC." Wu Xianchu said, it is not difficult to see that there is worry on her face and eyes.

"You don't have to worry too much, and now it seems that no news is good news."

Su Muyi's words are correct. In this case, I can only think like this, otherwise I will not be able to live if I am really worried. Having said that, Wu Xianchu was still worried. She and Xu Zhonghang have experienced so much, and finally see the hope of being together, in case something happens to Xu Zhonghang at this time, how should she live alone?

King Chen issued orders to the men of each region to seize control of the local army. Some of these people succeeded, some failed. When it came time to seize control, the place became a mess. The people migrated and fled to places where there was no fighting.

But when they fled, they found that there was no place for them in this great country. Heading south, King Chen's army was running rampant; Going north into Beijing, that is King Chen's final goal, the big battle will definitely be fought near the capital, it's too late to hide, how can you go?

Next, there are two directions left, east and west, and in the east, Nanliang's army has already set up troops on the border, and it is menacing; There is Chuyang harassment in the west, and it has never stopped.

When you think about it so closely, it seems that there really is no place for it. But the people were still fleeing. Escape, maybe you can still find a way to live, if you don't escape, you can only wait for death.

In the western part of Great Qin, Nie Yuan stood on the platform in front of the army, looked at the soldiers below and said, "Chu Yang invaded my border, killed my people, and threatened to capture the western border of Great Qin within three days." In the face of such arrogant people, only by making them pay a heavy price can they rebuild the prestige of Great Qin. ”

Saying that, he pulled out the sword in his hand, raised it high, and went straight into the blue sky, and he said loudly: "Soldiers, together with this general, kill all the thieves in Chuyang, and build my great Qin Wei." Whoever transgresses my territory, kill. ”

Nie Yuan's impassioned words mobilized the enthusiasm of the soldiers, and they raised their spears one after another, and said in unison: "Those who invade my territory, kill!" Kill! Kill! ”

In the midst of the cries of killing, King Chen's army broke through another city, and the government army retreated one after another, fleeing in the direction of the capital. To tell the truth, Daqin has not had a war for decades, and the military in these places is pampered, and the combat power is not good. And King Chen's army, in order to maintain its strength, trains every day. The gap between the two parties is naturally quite a lot.

"Brother Huang, if you go on in this form, it will be very bad for us."

Xia Ziyan was very anxious after receiving the battle report, there were not many defenders in the capital, and if he couldn't intercept the rebels outside the capital, the capital would fall into a crisis.

"But the strength of the local army is not good, and it cannot stop the rebels. The strongest Nie family army and the Changfeng army in the west were both pinned down by foreign enemies and could not be rescued. It was too difficult to intercept the rebels outside the capital. ”

It was the leader of the Yulin Army in the capital who spoke, and he was naturally present to discuss military matters and the defense of the capital. He is also one of Xia Zimo's more trusted people.

"How many troops can be mobilized in the capital?" Xia Zimo asked, his brain was running rapidly, thinking about how to solve the dilemma in front of him.

"The Yulin Army, plus the forbidden army in the palace, has a total of only 100,000 troops. The rebels are five times more numerous than ours. If they recruit troops along the way, they may eventually gather more troops in the capital. Xia Ziyan replied.

"You can gather all the local forces in the vicinity outside the capital and protect the capital with all your might." Xia Zimo came up with such an idea.

"All transferred to the capital? What about the place? Whatever? The leader of the Yulin Army asked.

"The armies scattered in each city are no match for the rebels, and we have no chance of winning unless they are gathered together and broken by the enemy individually. If you get together, you still have some chances of winning. Xia Zimo said.

He is right, the local troops are not large, the combat effectiveness is relatively weak, and the quality of the local military and political chiefs is not high. Let them stay in scattered places, it is very likely that the army will disperse before the enemy comes. On the contrary, let them all gather and camp outside the capital, not to talk about combat effectiveness, at least they will not lose too much to the rebels in terms of numbers. And it's easy to control.

What Xia Zimo wanted was to concentrate all these forces in the capital and be under his command. The Yulin Army, the Forbidden Army, the Shadow Guard, and the defenders from all over the country can always hold on to the arrival of reinforcements.

After the plan was decided, Xia Zimo handed over the talisman to the trusted shadow guard, and they took the talisman to dispatch the local army. However, they could only dispatch troops near the capital, and it was too far to come.

In addition to dispatching the army, Xia Zimo also issued a decree, which announced the withdrawal of the defenders to the capital, and also warned the people to leave the vicinity of the capital as soon as possible and take refuge in a place where there is no war.

In fact, Xia Zimo is a ruin, a battle. Waiting for the rebels to intercept near the capital means that the capital has become a dead city. Defeat or death!

"Luo Xue, I have ordered the defenders from all over the country to join forces in the capital today." Xia Zimo told Qiu Luoxue about this.

"Are you sure?" Qiu Luoxue asked.

Although she didn't know much about military affairs, she could still see that the rebels were menacing, and the government army was losing and retreating.

"Nope." Xia Zimo said very honestly.

"That ......"

Qiu Luoxue wanted to ask something, but Xia Zimo interrupted her, and he said, "You listen to me first." I'm not sure about this battle at all. Even if you can wait for reinforcements to arrive, the odds of victory are only sixty percent. In case you can't wait for the arrival of reinforcements, only thirty percent. ”

"If you win, it's good. But if I lose, I have nothing. I've gambled on the lives of the people of the world, but I don't want to count you. Tomorrow, Ziyan will send someone to send Princess Yan back to Nanliang, you can go with her. ”

Xia Zimo is thinking about Qiu Luoxue, he can lose or die, but he doesn't want to involve Qiu Luoxue together. She has done a lot for him, and he has to take care of the rest.

"You won't lose. I believe you. Qiu Luoxue didn't answer directly, but only one sentence already showed her attitude.

"It's not a question of believing each other, what if I lose?" Xia Zimo asked rhetorically.

Qiu Luoxue looked at Xia Zimo's eyes and said firmly: "Then I will die with you."

Qiu Luoxue sat on the dragon bed, and Xia Zimo squatted in front of her and grabbed her hand. Hearing Qiu Luoxue's stubborn words, Xia Zimo said, "No, I don't want you to die."

"What about me? Can I leave you alone and live alone? Qiu Luoxue asked.

Of course, the answer is no, only Xia Zimo also knows. But letting Qiu Luoxue die with him was also a result he didn't want to see.

"If you don't want me to die, try to win this battle, for my sake, you must win, you must live."

Qiu Luoxue didn't cry, didn't make trouble, and didn't worry about being afraid. She supported Xia Zimo in her own way and cheered him up.

"I'm not going anywhere, I'm going anywhere, I'm with you. You must not kick me away, okay? "The words after doing it are requesting, but whether Xia Zimo agrees or not, Qiu Luoxue will stay in the capital.

Xia Zimo had no choice but to agree to Qiu Luoxue, he got up and went to the bedside, hugged Qiu Luoxue, and said, "Okay, I promise you." For your sake, I'm going to win no matter what. ”

Although he said so, in fact, Xia Zimo was not sure about the outcome of the battle at all. He can only stabilize Qiu Luoxue first, and once he can't see the hope of victory, he will definitely send someone to send her out of the capital first.
