But as the saying goes, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, Qi Huan has not yet covered the edict of the reward, and the news of the attack of King Yan's army from Jianghuai has hit him, at first Qi Huan didn't believe it, but when the facts were confirmed, Qi Huan was really frightened.

"Lord County Guard, His Royal Highness King Yan issued an edict in Lucheng, saying that King Qi conspired against him and seized the throne, and he has come with an army of 100,000, and now he has arrived in Yanzhou East County!"

Hearing the report from his command, Qi Huan's first reaction was to resist the whole army, but Bu Yi, the commander under his command, fanned the wind and said: "My lord, King Yan's army of 100,000, my Yanzhou City is only 6,000, if you fight and resist, won't you hit a stone with an egg?" Moreover, King Yan decreed that as long as the towns along the way descend to him, they can all be the original official positions and not be guilty of it! ”

"What do you mean... Is this official going to open the city and surrender? Qi Huan said angrily: "Come on, talk nonsense before the war, bewitch the army, be disloyal to the emperor's grace, drag the bastard Dong Buyi down, and put him in a prison cell!" ”

"Slow down, adult!" Bu Yi hurriedly shouted: "The subordinates are just thinking about the adults!" You see, Emperor Xia Wu gave you a reward order, but he just asked you to give him his life, now the trouble of King Qin in Hexi is not over, King Jianghuai Yan has shown his edge, and the boundary of Zhongdu is simply surrounded by bottoms, and when Emperor Xia Wu was the king of Qi before, he was the one who was jealous, such an emperor... How worthy of his ministers to serve him with all their lives...."

"Shut up!" Qi Huan said angrily: "Shi Junlu, serve the emperor's grace, you should be loyal, but you have repeatedly excused yourself and bewitched, you really should be killed, left and right, and the official took down Bu Yi, slapped his mouth twenty, let him be locked in a prison cell, and when Yan Wangjun arrives, then this thief will sacrifice the flag!" ”

In the midst of the scream, Bu Yi was dragged down, Qi Huan paced back and forth, and said: "Immediately the three banners urgently order the capital, ask His Majesty the Emperor for reinforcements, and at the same time, gather the army of the whole city to resist King Yan!" ”

When Bu Yi was taken down and taken to the county government prison, who became the head of the mansion was Jin Xiong, the brother of Bu Yi's distant family, so when no one knew, Jin Xiong secretly released Bu Yi.

Bu Yi was angry that Qi Huan was unreasonable, and said: "The deception of a middle doctor will kill the old dog Qi Huan, but think about how much talent this old dog has, this time the army of King Yan is like a dragon descending from the sky, and it is really unwise to resist with the slightest strength of Yanzhou!" ”

"Big brother, what do you say you should do?" Jin Xiong hurried.

Bu Yi thought for a moment and said, "You immediately want to send me out of the city, let you do this... At that time, we will be the heroes under the command of King Yan! "That night, when Qi Huan's Three Banners ordered the soldiers to gallop towards the central capital, Bu Yi also secretly left Yanzhou City and ran towards the army of King Yan.

Late at night, the former imperial pavilion was brightly lit, and Emperor Jing Yutian of Xia Wu had an urgent report from Yanzhou, and immediately urgently convened the ministers and generals to discuss the matter.

"Your Majesty, King Yan committed rebellion, one does not respect the authority of His Majesty, and the other does not follow the last passport of the emperor, these two crimes must not be spared!"

Luo Jinci spoke angrily, but no one answered his words, which made Emperor Xia Wu upset for a while, and took a moment to relieve, Emperor Xia Wu looked around, except for Du Ruting and Zheng Qian, who were close to the courtiers of the East Palace, the rest of the princes and courtiers were all old gods, especially Prince Yong and Prince Gong, who lowered their heads and pondered, not knowing what to think again.

"Prince Yong, tell me, what should I do about King Yan's crime?"

Emperor Xia Wu asked by name, so that Prince Yong Huangfu Song could no longer be silent, he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks... King Yan seems to be powerful, but in fact, he is not enough! ”

"What a r!" Emperor Xia Wu was displeased: "Then tell me, how can his 100,000 army be broken!" ”

"If Your Majesty believes it, the old minister is willing to lead 30,000 troops to the east of Yanzhou to defend against the enemy!"

Huangfu Song said this coldly, which really shocked Emperor Xia Wu, if Nangong Qingyu or Qin Yi asked for orders to lead the troops, he would definitely have no objections, but Huangfu Song has lived like an old king since he became the general, and all the princes and ministers don't know what he thinks, and in the battle between the king of Qi and the king of Qin, this prince has no strength at all.

Under the worries of several parties, Emperor Xia Wu psychologically imprisoned Prince Yong in the cold palace, and Huangfu Song relieved for a while, only to know that Emperor Xia Wu was relieved that he could not go down, so he knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the old minister just doesn't want His Majesty to worry, so he has the courage to ask for the order to go on the expedition, if His Majesty doubts the old minister, then let the old minister's son Huangfu Chenghao go out on behalf of the old minister, let him kill the enemy in front of the battle, in order to protect His Majesty's imperial grace!" ”

A few steps away, Du Ruting heard this, and took the opportunity to come out: "Your Majesty, Prince Yong is brave and loyal, respectable and congratulatory, and his son Emperor Fu Chenghao is the best among the young generals, so the minister seconded the proposal, please Your Majesty promise the old prince!" ”

"I'm ready!" Emperor Xia Wu spoke up, Prince Yong knelt on the ground and thanked him, the candidate for the vanguard has been decided, and it is time to be the general, so Wu Ziyun, the capital of the Nine Gate Governors, said: "Your Highness, the old minister has a candidate, maybe he may be the commander!" ”

"Who?"

"Bingbu Tian Zhu!"

After the ministers, Tian Zhu heard this, and quickly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the ministers are willing to go!" ”

For Tian Zhu, Emperor Xia Wu knew in his heart, this person was a general under the Nine Gates Governor before joining the military department, and he was talented and martial, and he was considered superior, but it was more than ten years ago, Tian Zhu was negligent in battle drills, and he had some ability to govern the government, if he went to meet King Yan, I am afraid...

Seeing Emperor Xia Wu's hesitation, Wu Ziyun said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this time against King Yan, there is no need to win, just as Prince Yong said, as long as he can hold the boundary of Yanzhou, let it not advance westward, at least three months, at most one year, King Yan is afraid of civil strife and will retreat, after all, the Shanyue barbarians under his rule are not idle things, once the old nest is empty for too long, how can those barbarians sit idly by?" ”

But Emperor Xia Wu was still not at ease, and finally he said: "Ordered Tian Zhu to be the general of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, leading 30,000 troops, stationed in Yanzhou City, to meet the rebellion of King Yan, and at the same time ordered Yuanzi to command 20,000 troops to enter Chencheng as a gallop to help, and ordered Fei to ride north into the Dongzhou Army, strictly guard against the Jianghuai North estuary, and avoid the rebels from advancing west along the river and going south from the north!" ”

Yucheng is bounded by Dongzhou in the west.

Among them, the edict of rewarding came, Bian Ancheng couldn't stop laughing, and Zhao Yan said: "Governor, Your Majesty has rewarded you, why do you laugh and talk, the title of Lord Yinyu Bag is not more than Er'er in your current status!" ”

"You're right, whitebait bag... The Governor of Pontus no longer cares about such a reward of fame! It's just that Bian Ancheng's words changed sharply: "But you should understand that the old man has been appointed as the governor of Dongzhou, and if he takes the throne again, the names of all the generals are just equal-level rewards, so there is only one way left to be crowned king, but will the new emperor be crowned?" No, he wouldn't dare to open his head! ”

"Why?"

"Have you forgotten the Helan clan more than ten years ago?"

Bian Ancheng smiled: "The first emperor has been fighting horses for a lifetime, and the five great generals under his command have fought to the death thousands of times, and finally won the highest position in the world, but the merit is covered and the emperor is suppressed, but every little wind and grass is the result of the outlaw world, so the Helan clan changed... Moreover, the first emperor passed away and the new emperor succeeded to the throne, his prestige was insufficient, and his foundation was unstable. ”
