On the morning of the second day, there was a quarrel in the mansion of General Yulin in Nancheng, and the sound was so loud that it alarmed the neighbors.

Then came Chen Le's roar, all of them were dragged out for me to be beaten with 20 boards per person, and there were those who resisted and were killed!

The gate of the General's Mansion was open, and a group of Yu Linlang could be seen from a distance, pressing the four deputy generals to the ground, Li Cunxiao watched, and knocked down Zhang Long, Zhao Hu Dynasty, Ma Han, and a big board, until the flesh and blood flew, and the four of them howled non-stop, crying for their father and mother.

"Hmph, if you dare not follow General Ben's order, this is the end!" With Chen Le's cold snort, the four people who were beaten were all thrown out of the door by the soldiers, and they were miserable.

In the afternoon of the same day, news spread throughout the Daxu officialdom, because the four deputy generals of the Nancheng Yulin Army did not want to follow Chen Qingzhi's westward expedition, and were beaten by Chen Qingyi's big board and thrown out of the general's mansion.

As soon as the news came out, some scolded Chen Le for being arrogant, some ridiculed the four lieutenants for not knowing the current affairs, some looked at the excitement with cold words, and some thought deeply without saying a word, in short, no one came to meddle in this matter, even if the people who were not angry were all scolded, because the matter of the western expropriation and restoration of the Western Regions Protectorate was personally made by Emperor Xu, if anyone jumped out to intervene, it would be directly equivalent to disobeying the decree, as for the four lieutenants being beaten, it was also an internal contradiction of the Nancheng Yulin Army, and it was none of their business. Hanging high is the mainstream idea in the current court.

Chen Le continued to intensify military training, but he contracted his rights, did not let Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and the four of them interfere with much, and did not even want to see the four of them, and when the four came to ask for a meeting, he ordered someone to blast them out.

In the blink of an eye, summer is coming, early autumn is coming, and this night Chen Le secretly entered the palace to face the saint.

Emperor Xu received him in the south study, Chen Le couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw Emperor Xu's face, usually the court didn't feel it because of the distance, but now under the light, he saw Emperor Xu's face was pale golden, haggard, and only his eyes were still so bright.

"Your Majesty!" Chen Le said hurriedly.

"Cough, cough......" Emperor Xu coughed, his tone was still majestic: "Qingzhi, sit down." ”

The great eunuch Gao Wang moved over a brocade pier, and after Chen Le sat down, Emperor Xu continued: "Qingzhi, what's the matter, you were scared by my illness? ”

Chen Le hurriedly said: "Weichen doesn't dare, Weichen just cares about Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Xu shook his head and said: "I let you see my sickness, but also to let you have a preparation in your heart, originally if I was still in good health, your plan to conquer the Western Regions and protect the Mansion, I will definitely not be easy to play, but I know that the future is numbered, I have to fight, the prince's ability is limited, how to do it in the future, I naturally have a preparation in my heart, but I am not reconciled, I must give it a fight!" ”

Chen Le bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty is too worried, Xu Xu is naturally a thousand generations and will dominate the world!" ”

Emperor Xu said with a smile: "Where in this world is there any inheritance for thousands of generations, but it will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time, and I am just doing my best." ”

Chen Le was very surprised when he heard this, he never thought that Emperor Xu was such an open-minded person, it stands to reason that this is absolutely impossible, after all, as an emperor, especially Wen Taowuluo, an emperor with hills and valleys, how could he look at the world with such a normal mentality?

"The minister is ready to send troops at midnight on the tenth day of the first month of this month!" Chen Le guessed that he didn't understand Emperor Xu's thoughts, so he directly stated his intentions.

"Okay, I'm right, if you recover the Western Regions Protectorate, it can be regarded as opening up one more way for Da Xu's future, the prince's qualifications are mediocre, if there is no capable person to assist him, I am really a little worried!" Xu Huang Road.

Twice, this Emperor Qiyuan said twice that the crown prince's ability and qualifications are limited, what does he mean? Chen Le was suspicious in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face at all.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister came tonight to ask for a secret decree!" Chen Ledao, this is his real purpose, he wants to recover the Western Regions Protectorate, and the Western Regions Protectorate has always been ambitious, but after all, the two sides have lost contact for thirty years, and no one knows what the situation is over there and how complicated it is, so there must be a holy decree, and it must be a bright and dark holy decree.

"I'm ready!" Emperor Xu said in a calm tone: "Gao Wang, go and bring the things to Qingzhi." ”

The great eunuch Gao Wang took two holy decrees and handed them to Chen Le, and then held a box and said: "General Chen, this is the great seal of the envoy of the Anxi Festival, and the Holy Lord has also given it to you, I hope you can not only recover the Western Regions Protectorate, but also recover the western part of Daxu, so that the Anxi Festival can make this false title a real job." ”

"The ministers obey the order, the ministers will live up to the holy hope, and they will live up to the emperor's grace!" Chen Le turned around and left with the Holy Decree and the Great Seal, leaving only Emperor Xu and Gao Wang in the south study.

Emperor Xu didn't speak, looking at the direction in which Chen Le disappeared, and sat there, like a wax figure.

Gao Wang stood next to him with his eyes slightly closed, also like a wood carved clay sculpture.

After a long time, Xu Huangcai's eyelids blinked, and he said slowly: "What is he going to do?" ”

Gao Wang moved, lowered his body even more, and said in a low voice: "The old slave really can't guess, this kid is better than a monkey, and he will definitely not do that kind of thing to die in vain." ”

Emperor Xu frowned and said, "Since there is no way to speculate, then just be an idler, I ...... Ahem......"

"Your Majesty ......" Gao Wang hurriedly handed over a white handkerchief, his face full of worry.

"I hate it so much, I hate this sky, as long as I am given another ten years, I will definitely sweep the world, open up the territory, and create an incomparably prosperous era......" Emperor Xu looked at the bright red blood stains on the handkerchief, his face was sad and desolate.

At midnight on the tenth day of the eighth month of the twenty-fourth year of Xu Qiyuan, the gate of Xu Jingxi City was opened, and 20,000 forbidden troops went out of the west of the city!

Chen Le was sitting on the horse at the moment, thinking a lot in his mind, his chest was full of tactics and strategies, if he said that the soldiers in the world were everyone, it was none other than him.

Although he only had 20,000 forbidden troops in his hands, he was divided into five roads, each of which was not close but not far, and there were 3,000 people in front of him, led by Li Cunxiao and served as the vanguard officer.

There are 2,000 people on the left side, and Chu Hu leads the team and serves as the pioneer on the left side.

There are 2,000 people on the right, and Cheng Tieshi leads the team and serves as the pioneer on the right.

There were 3,000 people and horses on the back road, led by Zeng Jieban, to protect the heavy grain.

The speed of the light cavalry was very fast, and even the baggage team of the men and horses behind was much faster than the average army.

The boundary of Jingzhou was originally only a state, and 20,000 people only traveled for a few days before approaching the border of Xu Qin.

The direction that Chen Le chose to break through was not due west of Daxu, but the direction he chose to break through was the northwest.

The northwest is the intersection of Xu, Qin, and Xiongnu!

Although the land of Qin is also flat, the border of the Xiongnu is like a weaving grassland, which is not comparable to the land of Qin!
