The Xindu Praetorian Guard commanded the Shentu Mansion, and the sound of hurried footsteps was particularly piercing in this silent night. Shen Tuxiu www.biquge.info, who was walking anxiously in the courtyard when he heard footsteps, hurriedly looked over when he heard footsteps, revealing an eager gaze.

"On the orders of the commander, the last general sent men to secretly investigate the woods ten miles away from the west gate, and found that none of the dead soldiers and generals sent survived." The general of the forbidden army didn't have time to salute, and told himself the news he had found in a low tone, and subconsciously asked: "The commander and the last general suspect that the fourth prince has discovered the identity of those dead soldiers, how should we deal with it in the future."

"How could it be, how could it be missed. Zhao Wuming only has a hundred guards around him, and I send five hundred dead soldiers to set up an ambush, how can it fail." Shen Tuxiu was shocked when he heard the news, and asked himself in a low voice in disbelief.

The generals of the forbidden army only felt that their eyebrows were burned, and when they saw Shen Tuxiu asking themselves in a low voice, they couldn't help but be anxious: "Commander."

"These wastes". Shen Tuxiu reacted and was immediately furious. But at this time, those people died, and it was useless to be angry, so they could only think about how to face the next situation: "This matter is urgent, and I am going to go to the Second Prince's Mansion to discuss countermeasures."

As soon as the voice fell, without waiting for the general of the forbidden army to react, Shen Tuxiu raised his foot and walked outside the mansion.

After a while, the crisp sound of horses' hooves sounded in the night, and the second prince's mansion gradually appeared in front of him.

Shen Tuxiu hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and immediately knocked on the door when he saw that the door was locked. The person behind the door heard the sound and rubbed his eyes in confusion. Through the crack in the door, he saw that Shen Tuxiu did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly opened the door.

The person who opened the door was about to salute, but Shen Tuxiu rushed in without looking. The man froze for a moment, just about to summon the guards in the palace. But thinking of Zhao Yan's past explanation, he could only give up and close the door again.

The study was brightly lit, and two figures flickered in the room. Shen Tuxiu strode over, and pushed it open without knocking on the door. Seeing Zhang Gao inside, he glanced at him dissatisfied, and then saluted Zhao Xuan: "The last general will see the second son."

"Why is Commander Shentu so gifted today?". Zhao Yan looked at Shen Tuxiu and saluted solemnly, his eyes full of doubts. It must be known that the Shen Tu Xiu in the past was not so humble.

Zhang Gao looked Shen Tuxiu up and down as if he didn't know him: "Is it the hen Si Chen today, it's rare."

"Don't overdo it when you're joking, you have to know that we're all in the same boat. At this time, if we can't work together, you just wait for the crown prince to succeed to the throne, and disaster will come." Shen Tuxiu looked at Zhang Gao's arrogant appearance, his eyes full of disdain.

Zhang Gao felt that Shen Tuxiu had something to say, and his lips moved without speaking. Zhao Yan looked at Shen Tu Xiu: "Since Commander Shen Tu said that we are all in the same boat, then you can say something directly, why do you have to make such a big gift."

"The last general is willing to officially take refuge in the second son." Shen Tuxiu bowed solemnly to Zhao Xiu again.

These words exploded in the minds of the two of them like a thunderbolt, and Zhang Gao jumped to his feet in a hurry: "Shen Tuxiu, you are crazy, officially take refuge in the second prince at this time, this is not forcing the king to set his sights on our side."

"The king's illness is worse every day, and there is no difference between an earlier day and a later day. As long as we do not announce the matter of surrender to the government and the opposition. Zhang Gao, Ben Jiang doesn't care what kind of calculation you have in your heart, from now on, I Shen Tuxiu will be a subordinate of the second son." Shen Tuxiu looked at Zhao Xuan and said in a firm tone.

Zhao Yan's heart was beating violently at this time, although Shen Tuxiu and Zhang Gao clearly supported themselves, but the three of them were allies. Now that Shen Tuxiu has expressed his refuge, it means that the power of the 150,000 forbidden army has completely fallen into his own hands. But after all, the forbidden army is the henchman of his father, if he gets it so easily, it feels a little unreal: "Commander Shentu, how can you make this son believe that the matter of taking refuge is true."

"In the first eleven years, my forbidden army was at the behest of the king, making things difficult for the fourth prince everywhere, and we had no possibility of reconciliation with him. Some time ago, after I waited for the three of us to discuss, the last general privately sent a dead soldier to ambush Zhao Wuming, but I didn't expect Zhao Wuming's life to succeed. The last general speculated that the identities of those dead soldiers might be exposed, so he took refuge in the second son to save his life." When Shen Tuxiu heard Zhao Yan's inquiry, he didn't hide it, and said frankly.

Zhang Gao was anxious when he heard Shen Tuxiu's words: "Assassinating Gongzi without permission is a big crime, you will kill it if you kill it, but why do you want to leave clues." If the king learns of this, I am afraid that no one will be able to protect you."

"Zhang Gao, Zhang Gao, Ben will laugh at your ignorance." When Shen Tuxiu heard Zhang Gao's words, he showed a look of pity: "Do you think that even if the king knew about this, he would punish Ben Jiang?"

Zhang Gao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "Since you can be sure that the king will not kill you, then what are you going to do here to beg the second son."

"The king won't kill him, but Xingpingjun will kill him, so the king has to kill him." Zhao Wei listened to the conversation between the two, woke up from his thoughts, and explained to Zhang Gao.

Zhang Gao stayed in place for a while: "Xingping Jun, Xingping Jun with 300,000 soldiers of the Gong Clan? The King's cousin".

"Please also ask the second son to save the life of the last general, and the last general is willing to exchange the power of the 150,000 forbidden army." After Shen Tuxiu finished speaking, he fell to his knees directly.

Zhao Yan seemed to be thinking about something, and did not immediately go to support Shen Tuxiu: "Xingping Jun is also the enemy of this son, if it wasn't for them, why would this son's mother be forcibly sent back to South Korea by his father." In the past, An Yangjun was alive, and the power of the Gong clan was huge, with 600,000 soldiers of the Gong clan. and Korea joined forces to attack Wei and lost 100,000. There are still 500,000 left, including 200,000 in the Anyang fiefdom and 300,000 in various local clans. The father hinted that the people in the palace bullied Zhao Wuming, and the son was willing to be a pawn. Let him make a big fuss about the ancestor worship ceremony, and then he justifiably seized the Anyang fiefdom. After 11 years of painstaking management, 200,000 Anyang soldiers have all entered the hands of this son. Now with the addition of your 150,000 forbidden troops, a total of 350,000 soldiers and horses. For those princes, why should my son be afraid of them."

"In this case, Shen Tu is willing to be the second son, and the head of the horse is Zhan." Shen Tu Xiu saw that Zhao Qi was arrogant, and bowed heavily to him.

Zhao Wei was overjoyed, and immediately helped: "With the help of Shentu, on the day of my father's death, I would like to ask who dares to stop my son from ascending to the throne."

"Most of the 150,000 forbidden troops were temporarily expanded last year, and their combat effectiveness is not strong. Even if the forbidden army plus Gongzi's 200,000 Anyang soldiers, I am afraid that there is not much chance of winning when encountering the 300,000 army of the Gong clan. What's more, there are also the defenders of Handan, they are the biggest stumbling block when the prince ascends to the throne." Zhang Gao looked at the two of them and reminded Zhao Wei with mixed feelings.

Zhao Wei seemed to have anticipated this problem, and looked at Zhang Gao with a smile: "The combat effectiveness of the Handan defenders and the forbidden army, which is stronger and which is weaker."

"Last year, the fourth prince intended to preserve the strength of the Handan defenders, so the damage to the Handan defenders was not great. On the other hand, the forbidden army was completely opposite, and was almost crippled in the battle last year. Although the strength of the two armies is comparable, their combat effectiveness is naturally inferior to that of the Handan defenders." Zhang Gao looked at Zhao Wei puzzled, not understanding why he asked this well-known question.

Zhao Yan then asked: "Why do we think that the defenders of Handan will definitely fall to the prince?"

"The national lieutenant is in charge of the Handan garrison, and during this time, the attitude of the national lieutenant gradually favors the prince, so it is ......." When Zhang Gao said this, he was suddenly stunned, and reacted instantly: "The fourth prince is kind to the defenders of Handan, and with the attitude of the national captain, there is no reason why they should not fall to the prince."

Zhao Yan's smile was even stronger: "If there are only Handan defenders, can they stop us?"

"There are me and Shen Tuxiu in the palace, and there are 200,000 Anyang soldiers of Gongzi outside, and they can't stop them under internal and external attacks. But will the Clans let us get our wish? “。 Zhang Gao asked rhetorically at Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan's smile seemed to have a blade: "The Gong clan has ancestral training, and it is not allowed to participate in the battle for the throne of the prince, so as to preserve the strength of our country to the greatest extent." Once there is no Zhao Wuming without him, without the friendship of An Yangjun, what difference does it make to them who is the king? Will the soldiers of the Handan defenders willingly support him Zhao Yu? “。

"What does Childe mean? ……“。 Shen Tuxiu only felt that his heart was beating violently, and he didn't wait for Zhang Gao to say anything.

Zhao Yan's gaze looked directly at Shen Tuxiu, and coldly spit out a word: "kill".

"Didn't Childe say last time that the fourth son can't be killed? But why kill again this time." Zhang Gao thought of the scene of the last discussion, and couldn't help but ask Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan showed a look that everything was under control: "Last time, my son said that he couldn't kill because my father would be forced to kill the real murderer, so we couldn't kill him."

"In that case, why did Childe say kill again." Zhang Gao was a little confused by what Zhao Wei said.

Zhao Wei looked at Zhang Gao and explained to him: "It is not advisable for us to set up an ambush in person, but there are always people in the world who can kill him Zhao Wuming."

"Who? Isn't he afraid that the clans will attack him afterwards? “。 Zhang Gao asked Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan looked at Shen Tu Xiu, Shen Tu Xiu reacted instantly, and spit out two words at Zhang Gao: "King".

"This, this is impossible, the tiger poison does not eat children, not to mention that the fourth prince is the youngest son of the king." Zhang Gao only felt a thunderbolt explode in his mind.

Tiger poison does not eat children? A hint of ridicule flashed at the corner of Zhao Yan's mouth: "Father is bent on letting the eldest brother succeed to the throne, as long as we instigate it a little." According to his character, how could he not do something that would prevent future troubles."

"In the past, Anyang Jun's image of the king was too profound, and the clan was powerful. So the king has been busy weakening the clan all these years, but after all, the prince is the king's blood relative, how can it be completely cut off. At this time, the king's time was running out, and his suspicions were getting heavier. Otherwise, why would they make an appointment with Wei to withdraw their troops on the night of the arrival of the envoys of Wei. Otherwise, why would the forbidden army and the Handan garrison be expanded immediately? The forbidden army and the Handan garrison in Xindu City add up to exactly 300,000, Zhang Gao, don't you think of something? “。 Shen Tuxiu asked Zhang Gao a series of questions.

Zhang Gao instantly realized: "The king is preventing those soldiers of the princes."

"Defense? It's more than just prevention. My father did too many bad things in the past. Now the bitter Lord is at the door, and he is afraid." Zhao Yan said a word about Zhao Chong's true state of mind at this time.

Shen Tu Xiu thought of something, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "For decades, we have been making the knife in the hands of the king every day, and it is time to let the king make a knife for us."

"Zhang Gao, Shen Tuxiu, the two of you immediately return to the palace, find a way to mention Zhao Wuming's name, and with my father's suspicions, I will definitely let my fourth brother go to Handan with him." Zhao Yan commanded Zhang Gao.

Zhang Gao was puzzled: "Didn't the prince say that the king should kill the fourth prince, this is ...... There are soldiers of the clan in Handan, and I am afraid that they will not be able to kill them when they get there."

"My fourth brother can't see the people of the clan, how can my good father show his sword." Zhao Wei looked at Zhang Gao and showed a meaningful smile, as if the throne was within reach.
