"Your Majesty, there is no need to say anything about the past, for the sake of the present, it is Your Majesty's dragon health and well-being, as long as Your Majesty can come to the throne in person, the dragon will be mighty, and the minister believes that the traitor of King Yan is not Erer!"

Du Ruting offered it by the way, and Emperor Xia Wu's heart was a little more open, and he turned to ask: "Is there any news about the Dongzhou Army?" It's been two months, and his Dongzhou army should have crossed the Liao River in the south, if Bian Ancheng and Lu Yan are against the enemy, what will be the victory? ”

When these words fell, no one made a sound, Emperor Xia Wudi's eyebrows were furrowed, and his voice was fierce: "Why don't you say it?" Is there any news from the Dongzhou Army... Could it be that the original decree was not transmitted to Dongzhou? ”

"Your Majesty is angry!" Shao An knelt down and pleaded, Emperor Xia Wu was stunned, and Shao An's spine was cold: "Your Majesty, before the Yan Thief Incident, the decree was absolutely transmitted to the Dongzhou Army, and the Dongzhou Army also had a return order to go south, but a few days ago, the ministers found in the military discipline calendar of Zhongshu Pavilion that the Dongzhou Army had already divided power on the occasion of the first emperor, but Bian Ancheng deliberately avoided trouble, the first emperor did not move him, and now the first emperor has passed away, Your Majesty's new imperial commander, with the past of the Dongzhou army, that Bian Ancheng is afraid that it is..."

"What are you afraid of?"

Emperor Xia Wu's heart was very cold, his anger was like a frozen flame, but he didn't move, looking at this, Zheng Gan hurriedly came out: "Your Majesty is angry, after the ministers learned the news before, they knew that the hope of the Dongzhou army to help them had faded, even if Bian Ancheng went to the Liao River, it is estimated that he would wait and see, so noisy, the minister was afraid that His Majesty would be overworked, so the minister acted arbitrarily, suppressed Shao An, and sealed this order!" ”

With a 'snap', the bamboo slip fell on Zheng Gan's face, but Zheng Qian couldn't move in pain, allowing the blood to flow from the corner of his eyebrows. On the other hand, Emperor Xia Wu, under the hidden actions of the Dongzhou Army that he was ordered not to follow, he had already turned red.

"Bian Ancheng... Such a puffle... If I had known this, I should have ordered the Emperor to cut off his head! ”

"Your Majesty's dragon body is precious, don't be angry!"

Du Ruting and the other courtiers knelt on the ground and wailed, and after a while, Emperor Xia Wu sat down slowly: "I thought that there was a Dongzhou army on the northern front to help, and the pressure on the central capital would be reduced, but I didn't expect to put my expectations on that horseman..."

"Your Majesty, the war is stalemate, and it's still early to win or lose!" Luo Jinci bowed down and stood in front of the dragon case, and used the map as a demonstration to say: "At present, Tian Zhu and Yuanzi are defending in the first line of Puyang and Chencheng in the eastern boundary, and they are fighting with the Yan thieves, and they have won and lost each other, and the Yan King has come from afar, and now he will enter the stage of fierce battle, as long as the Yan thief is dragged down, in time, the Yan thief will retreat due to the lack of grain and grass blades..."

"Your Majesty, Prince Yong Huangfu Song issued an order in the military cabinet the day before yesterday, asking for orders to go to war, this loyalty is good, but the old minister rejected his edict on the grounds that his son was on the battlefield!"

Zheng Qian said that he would present Huang Fusong's letter of invitation to fight, but Emperor Xia Wu didn't look at it: "Where are Prince Qing and Prince Lian?" ”

"Prince Lian is now in charge of the Jiumen Army and the Dongshan Battalion, and Prince Qing is the general of the prince to stabilize the military cabinet, the ordnance supervisor, and the palace guard. If Your Majesty needs it, the minister will send a letter to summon the two princes to come to the audience! ”

Emperor Xia Wu shook his head: "Excuse me!" ”

In the midst of Zheng Qian's unknown ministers, Emperor Xia Wu had already gotten up, and Xiao Jinling, who had already been appointed as the head of internal affairs, hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, who are you?" ”

"I want to leave the palace and see it in person!"

Yecheng eastward, since the evening sunset, the sky changes suddenly, thick clouds and heavy clouds, cool breezes everywhere, but half a moment of effort, the rain falls with the wind, and there is a gradual trend, in this regard, Zhao Yuan's heart is slightly wider, and Zhuang Fei next to him smiled and said: "Zhuang Shilang is quite accurate, we have to move quickly, otherwise the rain falls urgently, I am afraid that we will not be able to cross this river..."

"Captain Yuan, this rain is timely, I think that the captain should immediately rush to the south of Yecheng as soon as possible, as long as we start an incident in the south, the general will definitely be able to take the opportunity to lead the army to cross!" Then Zhao Yuan rushed to the direction of Yecheng with the elite soldiers of the two schools.

At the same time, Tang Chuanwen and Lin Sheng took several armor soldiers dressed and drove by small boat, and quietly came from Yanjin Ferry to Liaohe Nan'an, coinciding with heavy rain, Lin Sheng said: "Brother Tang, are we going to Yecheng directly?" ”

Tang Chuanwen pondered for a moment and responded: "This time we go to Yecheng, once we encounter the Yan army sentry, it will only increase the trouble, and the rainy night will cover the whereabouts, let's first rush to the countryside outside Yecheng to take a break and explore the water source situation around Yecheng!" ”

Yecheng south to Hongjiazhuang, due to the war, the people of Hongjiazhuang but all those who have some ability, all ran into Yecheng to avoid trouble, only the lonely, widowed and poor people because of the two broken houses can not move away, and there is no extra money for survival, simply break the jar and fall, stay in the village, when it comes to Hai, a burst of horse roar came, the unknown Zhuang people thought that the thieves were killed, and quickly locked their own broken house on three tops, but for Li Hu, these armorers, not to mention the door panel of the broken house, is the county gate, they also said that it was broken.

"Brother Tiger, what is this place? Black rumbling, why is it not popular? ”

Cai Qiao wiped the rain on his face and muttered, Li Hu in front of him was also full of depression, since he came out of Zhongdu, they heard the news of King Yan's westward expansion, and what made people even more angry was that the Yan army controlled the counties and towns on the border of Zhongdu, and it was difficult for them to return to the north safely.

"His grandmother's... What kind of battle is there to fight, the harmful tiger master can't go back to his home, and I don't know what happened to Brother Xiu! Li Hu said to himself with more than 100 relatives to ride into the village, after a thorough investigation, it was simply ten rooms and eight empty, until the second half of the night, Li Hu settled in the ancestral hall of Hongjiazhuang.

"Cai Qiao, send some brothers to patrol the night, in case of enemy warfare, we can hide far away!" Li Hu instructed Cai Qiao to leave at the order, and stayed until the second half of the night, Tang Chuanwen, Lin Sheng and others bypassed the fast horse, avoided the Yan army sentry horse, and traveled from the west of Yecheng, after most of the night's march, Tang Chuanwen and Lin Sheng came to the village north of Hongjiazhuang.

"Captain Sheng, let's rest here tonight!"

Tang Chuanwen suggested that Lin Sheng was no different, but he could ride Cui Chenghao and said: "Boss Sheng, Lord Changshi, I am afraid it is dangerous to rest here!" ”

"Why?"

"Along the way, let's avoid four or five waves of swallow thieves and sentinels, this village seems to be dilapidated and uninhabited, but because of this, those sentry horses will also pass through patrols, if we are surrounded..."

Cui Chenghao's words aroused Tang Chuanwen's suspicion: "You seem to be familiar with the patrol method of the Yan thief?" ”

"Hey, hey!" Cui Chenghao smiled: "Before I met Boss Sheng, I was a swordsman in the rivers and lakes, and I lived a life of licking blood at the tip of a knife, and I had been in the Jianghuai Picheng territory, and I knew a little about the Jianghuai Army!" ”

As he was talking, he suddenly heard a burst of horse roaring, and Lin Sheng's expression tightened: "Mother's Western ruffian, come as you say, it's really boring..."

"Let's hide for now!"

When the words fell, Tang Chuanwen, Lin Sheng and others dismounted and entered the village, hid in the courtyard of the dilapidated village, and only half a cup of tea, and a team of swallow cavalry patrolled here.
