"This son understands!"

Qin Yuzhi responded: "His Royal Highness King Yu is benevolent and generous, if he enters the throne, it will be a blessing for Great Xia, and this prince will think of leaving the Bei'an Army and adding strength to His Highness!" ”

Lin Xiu returned to the camp and immediately summoned Tang Chuanwen and Zhuang Fei to discuss how to write the book to be withdrawn, but Tang Chuanwen and Zhuang Fei both felt that something was wrong.

"General, did Qin Shizi really say that?"

Tang Chuanwen was suspicious, and Lin Xiu didn't know what he meant: "What's wrong?" ”

"General, you think, the Li army has been attacking one after another, but you are falling everywhere, and now the Li army has sent troops to subdue Yanzhou, if you take this opportunity to retreat north, will it be too obvious!"

"This..."

Tang Chuanwen's words were not unreasonable, Lin Xiu paced back and forth, and said: "But Brother Yu Zhi has already analyzed a lot with me, if you don't take this opportunity, once the Zhongdu Army is deployed and reorganized, then it will be even more inappropriate for us to go, so the more trouble we delay!" ”

Seeing this, Tang Chuanwen didn't say anything anymore, and half a day later, Lin Xiu's recital was handed over to the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War directly turned to Zhongshu, Taifu, and the Military Cabinet, but the edict was transferred away halfway, and at the same time, the battle situation in Yanzhou came, making Lin Xiu restless.

Zhang Qi and Lu Kai looked at the city wall several zhang high under Yanzhou City, and they were confused.

"Lord Lu, how many soldiers are left in the city of this Yan army?"

Zhang Qi asked, and Lu Kai shook his head: "From Li Moran's reply, there are about 4,000 Yan troops in the city, and they are commanded by He Qi, the general of the Yan Wang's Chinese army!" ”

"Heqi? That's a tough opponent! ”

Zhang Qi frowned, because he had fought with He Qi, Zhang Qi didn't dare to attack, but Zhang Qi didn't expect that his steady camp strategy was found by He Qi to be overlooked.

On the same day, Zhang Qi camped five miles west of Yanzhou City, but the camp wall had not yet been erected, He Qi led hundreds of Yan cavalry to rush out, Zhang Qi's front camp hurriedly responded, but He Qi beheaded several small colonels, and Zhang Qi led the headquarters to attack, to fight He Qi, He Qi has retreated, Zhang Qi's heart soared for a while, chased to the front of Yanzhou City, but was shot by Yan soldiers with a strong crossbow to kill hundreds of people, unable to be, Zhang Qi could only return angrily, so that Zhang Qi was defeated before fighting, and it was really a blow to morale.

This news was transmitted back to the central capital, the court was surging, and Emperor Xia Wu was even more powerful, but the generals withered, if Zhang Qi was removed now, he was only afraid that the emperor's prestige would be damaged, so Emperor Xia Wu could only secretly send a decree to comfort the Li army to ensure the stability of his army, and at the same time instructed Zhang Qi to take Yanzhou City as soon as possible.

In the upper study, Emperor Xia Wu leaned on the dragon chair in the north to review the chapters, and when he saw the edict of the same as the Zhongshu Pavilion, Taifu Pavilion, and Military Council Pavilion of the Ministry of War, Emperor Xia Wu frowned.

"Huang An, when was this edict played?"

Hearing the call of Emperor Xia Wu, Huang An hurriedly walked over: "Your Majesty, this edict was played last night, and after the joint investigation of the three pavilions, I dare to stick to the case of Your Majesty!" ”

"Humph!"

Emperor Xia Wu snorted coldly, for the edict of the Bei'an Army, Emperor Xia Wu was disgusted in his heart, Lin Zhongyi's guy was very meritorious, but he didn't want any reward, which was disrespectful to the superiors, in addition, Emperor Xia Wu had already become suspicious of Lin Zhongyi, just imagine, a general with elite soldiers in his hands does not seek honorary status, so what does he want? For the sake of the Avenue of Loyalty? Emperor Xia Wu didn't believe it, in other words, he wouldn't think about it this way.

"This Bei'an army is going to withdraw north, but it really makes me angry!"

"Your Majesty... Actually..."

Huang An wanted to say something, but Emperor Xia Wu obviously didn't give him a chance to speak.

"Go and summon Du Ruting, Zheng Qian, Shao An, and Luo Jinci to come!"

Late at night, when the child was in the middle, Du Ruting's four old ministers were dragged out of the bed by the emperor's order, and went to the upper study, in front of Emperor Xia Wu, the four of them looked at each other, listened carefully to Emperor Xia Wu's words, and after he finished speaking, Du Ruting said: "Your Majesty, this Lin Zhongyi belongs to the foreign army, according to the rules of the army, he is not allowed to enter the capital without the order of the emperor's edict, he led his troops to the south, if it is a normal day, he has already violated the taboo, now although it is wartime, but the Yan army has retreated, and he will stay in the Bei'an army, it will be meaningless!" Therefore, the old minister thinks that he can be allowed to leave the edict! ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister also seconded it!"

Luo Jinci and Zheng Qian also had the same idea as Du Ruting, but to the surprise of the three of them, Shao An actually had the opposite idea.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say!"

"Speak!"

Although Emperor Xia Wu did not like Shao An, the former emperor's important minister, he was cautious and did not conspire with anyone.

"Your Majesty, what Lord Du said is right, but have you forgotten something!" Shao An had something to say, Du Ruting and the three of them didn't answer, Emperor Xia Wu glanced at Shao An, and Shao An hurriedly bowed.

"Your Majesty, although King Yan has retreated, several cities in Yanzhou have not been leveled, and more importantly... What is the situation in Hexi? What might a few adults expect? ”

"This...."

Du Ruting and the three of them were suspicious, Rao is Emperor Xia Wu also changed his face, since the westward advance of King Yan, the connection between Hexi, Hezhong and Zhongdu was unilaterally cut off by King Qin, and Emperor Xia Wu was afraid of King Yan, completely left King Qin behind, if King Qin took advantage of this opportunity to move, I am afraid that the stable situation that Zhongdu has just reversed will disappear.

Shao An's words fell, the upper study was silent, and after a while, Emperor Xia Wu looked at the three of them: "I have objections to this performance, how about you?" ”

Seeing that Emperor Xia Wudi's own style of speech has changed, no matter how stupid Du Ruting and the three of them are, they will not bump into the fire, the three of them thought for a moment, and Luo Jinci said: "Lord Shao is reasonable, Your Majesty, now the capital seems to be unstable, the Nine Gate Patrol Army and the Forbidden Army have not yet completed their training and preparation, and the Bei'an Army should shoulder part of the defense tasks, at least when something happens in the four fields of the Central Capital, Your Majesty has troops to adjust!" ”

Hearing this, Emperor Xia Wu nodded, and immediately put pen to paper, rejecting the Bei'an Army's request to withdraw the edict.

"The northern retreat was refuted!"

Late at night, after reading today's book of repentance, King Yu summoned for dinner, the same, there is a note inlaid at the bottom of the porridge bowl, the note is only four words, King Yu saw this, it was already clear, and then King Yu finished eating porridge, and slept with clothes.

Early the next morning, Emperor Xia Wu ordered that King Yu repented in Zongren's Mansion, which should have been half a year, but because King Yu kept the rules and kept his distance, and the court affairs were complicated, Emperor Xia Wu needed King Yu to help on his behalf, so King Yu was able to leave here.

Back in the palace, Chang Lin and others immediately came to report, and King Yu listened to it and said: "It is not good for the Li army to subdue the boundary of Yanzhou, this is the king's chance!" ”

"Your Highness, this opportunity should be given to the Bei'an Army! First, to recover Yanzhou, and secondly, His Royal Highness can deeply observe Lin Zhongyi's character, if he still gets merit and does not want to be rewarded, it proves that this person is as loyal as the rumors, but if he cowers, it shows that this person is scheming, and he only seeks self-protection in everything, and cannot be used! ”
