171. Decision
Outside the east gate of Handan, the dilapidated houses of the past have long disappeared, and a mansion appears in front of you. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The plaque on the info mansion reads three big characters of the Four Princes' Mansion, and at the back of the mansion is a military camp. There are 10,000 soldiers of the personal guards in the barracks, and they are training.
The sound of horses' hooves came, and Sun Buer and others led 20,000 personal guards to the barracks, but they didn't have time to settle the soldiers. Sun Buer gave a few orders to the generals who walked around, and Qing'an walked to a military tent with the support of several soldiers of the personal guard, and then Lang Zhong hurriedly ran over.
Sun Buer thought that the situation was urgent, and hurriedly took Fan Shun and Qingque to the mansion in front of him to beat their horses.
In the study room of the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Zhao Wuming put the bamboo slips on the desk. Maybe he was a little tired from watching, and gently rubbed his eyes.
The sound of footsteps came, and Sun Buer, Fan Shun, and Qingque bowed to Zhao Wuming: "See the lord and son."
"Coming back?". I thought there would be a lot to say, but when I saw them, Zhao Wuming's heart was just flat.
The three of them listened to Zhao Wuming's flat tone, and suddenly had an illusion, and the person in front of them matured: "Yes."
"Sit down". didn't say much, just quietly spit out two words.
Hearing this, the three of them hurriedly sat cross-legged on the left and right seats in front of Zhao Wuming.
Zhao Wuming watched the three of them sit down, and looked around at the three of them: "Tell me, what happened."
"The subordinates went to investigate Anyang on the order of the lord, and met the guards sent by Fan Shun to report the situation to the lord, and the subordinates learned from the guards that the soldiers of Anyang had arrived in Julu, so they went to join Fan Shun. On the second day of the convergence, he saw that Qingque was chased and killed by 10,000 Anyang soldiers and horses, so he rescued Qingque ......". Sun Buer slowly told Zhao Wuming about the things along the way.
Zhao Wuming listened carefully, and his brows gradually furrowed: "In this way, the goal of the 200,000 Anyang soldiers must be to attack Handan City?"
"This is the military order sent by the second prince to the army of Anyang." Qingque handed the silk book in his hand to Zhao Wuming.
Zhao Wuming watched carefully, and the anger that the three of them expected did not appear. Zhao Wuming's face was still so flat, as if these were all expected things: "Qingque, you act without permission, this silk letter will be offset by your merits, and I don't want this situation to happen a second time."
"Qingque remembers the words of the child, and from now on he will not act without permission. Along the way, Fan Shun and Sun Buji have already told me that Gongzi had long expected that the soldiers of Anyang would have objections, and it was Qingque who made Gongzi worried." Qingque respectfully pleaded guilty to Zhao Wuming, and his tone was extremely sincere.
Zhao Wuming nodded slightly, and looked at Sun Buer: "During this time, King Zhao's body has become increasingly sad, and he feels that the situation is critical, so he often goes back to the city to discuss with the two military advisors. We all agree that a pre-emptive strike should be made. But there is a problem that cannot be solved, and now that Lone sees this silk letter, it seems that it is time to clean up this clown."
"Two military advisors? I don't know what kind of problem it is, but it can be difficult for the two military advisors and the lord." Sun Buer's heart was a little excited, and he returned to Xindu and Handan from Seoul, which was too aggrieved during this time. Now that the lord has understood, there are two military advisors, plus 30,000 personal guards, how can they not contain these opponents.
Fan Shun and Qingque glanced at each other, their eyes full of confusion. Strategist? Two military advisors? Could it be that Childe has already gained the allegiance of the wise?
"How to persuade the national lieutenant Xue Li, I can't figure it out during this time, and there is no problem with seeing the silk book in hand at this time." Zhao Wuming explained to Sun Buji.
Sun Buji thought about it carefully, but he was even more puzzled: "National Captain?".
Zhao Wuming looked at the silk book in his hand, thought for a while, and then analyzed: "The palace is divided into two palaces, the outer palace is guarded by the forbidden army, and the Handan defenders defend Handan City. However, the strength of the forbidden army and the defenders of Handan was 150,000 each, and if there was no major event, generally speaking, there would only be 50,000 soldiers and horses going to defend. The rest of the soldiers and horses of the two armies were all in the barracks. The Handan garrison barracks are outside the north gate, and there are 100,000 troops stationed in it all year round. The forbidden army barracks are outside the south gate, and there are also 100,000 forbidden troops stationed all year round. But the east gate is for us, 30,000 personal guards. If you want to use thunderous means, as long as you persuade the national lieutenant to send all the troops of the Handan defenders into the city to carry out defense, you can close the city gate and isolate the 100,000 forbidden troops outside the city from the 50,000 forbidden troops in the daily defense outer palace. Once King Zhao is critically ill, Shen Tu Xiu will definitely lead his henchmen to the inner palace in an attempt to control the defense of the inner palace. At the same time, in order to prevent accidents, Shentu adjourned the meeting and asked his henchmen to go to the forbidden army barracks to transfer troops with military orders on the grounds of guarding. At that time, a personal guard army was dispatched to intercept and kill and seize the military order. In the hands of the military order, he went to the tent of the forbidden army and held the generals of the forbidden army hostage in one fell swoop. After controlling the generals of the forbidden army, leave 10,000 soldiers and horses in case of accidents. Carrying the waist card of the general of the forbidden army to wave 20,000 troops, deceive the gate of the outer palace and go directly to the inner palace, the general trend has been decided."
"Although the plan is good, why the lord and the two military advisors will expect it. Once King Zhao is critically ill, Shen Tuxiu will definitely send his henchmen to the barracks with military orders in hand to transfer troops." Although Sun Buer was amazed by this strategy, then a question surfaced and asked Zhao Wuming again.
A strong sense of confidence appeared on Zhao Wuming's face, and he looked around at the three people in front of him: "If you are Zhao Wei and Shen Tu adjournment, how will you decide."
"Since Zhao Yan and the 200,000 Anyang soldiers have been transferred, once the king is critically ill, Zhao Yan's safest choice is to go out of the city and join the army. No matter what happens next, with a large army on the side, you can advance and retreat freely." Without waiting for Sun Buji to speak, Fan Shun analyzed Zhao Wuming.
Zhao Wuming nodded slowly and looked at Fan Shun: "Then what will Shen Tuxiu do?"
"Shen Tuxiu holds the power of 150,000 forbidden troops, although the operation has been intertwined for many years, but the forbidden army was hit hard last year. Now the number has been expanded to 150,000, and there are still many factions among them. There is no problem for Shen Tuxiu to order Tanma to guard the outer palace, but if they are allowed to enter the inner palace, I am afraid that most people will not agree. In this way, Shen Tuxiu can only bring his henchmen into the inner palace, and the rest of the soldiers will strictly guard against the outer palace." Fan Shun thought carefully and continued to reply to Zhao Wuming.
Zhao Wuming then asked: "How many henchmen and horses do you think Shen Tu will have, and how many soldiers and horses can he mobilize to do great rebellious things without a tiger talisman."
"In view of the heavy losses suffered by the forbidden army last year, I estimate that Shen Tuxiu can mobilize a minimum of 20,000 henchmen and no more than 30,000." Fan Shun thought about it again, and replied to Zhao Wuming for a while.
Zhao Wuming's gaze turned to Sun Buer: "Can the 20,000 pro-guard army defeat the 30,000 forbidden army?"
"No problem". Sun Buji heard the inquiry and replied without thinking.
Zhao Wuming looked around at the three of them and continued to analyze them: "Since Shen Tuxiu went to the inner palace with his henchmen, it is impossible for him not to be afraid that the defenders of Handan will find out. Therefore, the safest way for him is to transfer troops like the outer palace. put all the soldiers and horses who are not their own descendants into the outer palace to strictly prevent the defenders of Handan."
"If the national lieutenant sees this military order of the second prince, will he wave his army to attack the second prince's mansion, or help us attack the palace when the situation is critical." Sun Buer listened to Zhao Wuming's analysis, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart.
Zhao Wuming shook his head slightly: "Lone and the two military advisors have discussed, there are factions in the forbidden army, why not in the Handan defenders?" If there is no tiger talisman, whether it is Shen Tuxiu or the national lieutenant, they can only mobilize troops and horses within the scope of their authority."
"In this way, we can only rely on 30,000 pro-guards such as us." Sun Buer pondered a little and sighed with emotion.
The sound of footsteps came, Gao Zhao panted and walked into the study, and was slightly stunned when he saw Qingque and Fan Shun.
Seeing that Gao Zhao came to the study and was suddenly quiet, Zhao Wuming looked at Gao Zhao in confusion: "So anxious, but what happened?"
"The prince of Qiyu is critically ill, and the prince has gone to the inner palace. When the lower officials got the secret report, they hurried to tell him that the queen's will should be on the way to this moment." Listening to Zhao Wuming's inquiry, Gao Zhao reacted and hurriedly stood in the middle and saluted Zhao Wuming.
Sun Buer, Qingque, and Fan Shun were stunned, obviously frightened by this sudden news. I was talking about it just now, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly.
Zhao Wuming gradually frowned: "I can know why the king is suddenly critically ill."
"It is said that since Xingping Jun and other feudal monarchs left, the king would dream of Mrs. Xuan, the mother of the prince, every night, and her condition became more and more serious. Since the night before yesterday, the king has been talking nonsense, and at this time it is time to die. The doctor diagnosed that the king would not survive tonight." When Gao Zhao talked about Mrs. Xuan, he looked at Zhao Wuming cautiously.
His mind was blank, and Zhao Wuming felt that he had heard a great sarcasm, and King Zhao, who was ruthless and ruthless in his decision, actually had such a side.
Although the situation was critical, Zhao Wuming did not say a word. Gao Zhao didn't dare to speak, so he could only just watch it.
Sun Buer didn't care too much, stood up directly from his seat, and saluted Zhao Wuming: "Lord, do you want to act immediately if time is pressing?"
"Action?". Without waiting for Zhao Wuming to speak, Gao Zhao looked at Sun Buji with a suspicious expression.
Sun Buji didn't want to explain to him, and stared at Zhao Wuming.
Zhao Wuming nodded slowly, and instructed Sun Buer: "30,000 personal guards are at your disposal, and at this time, immediately go to the south gate to kill Shen Tuxiu's envoy."
"No". Sun Buji bowed down to receive the order, and when he was just about to turn around and leave, he seemed to think of something and asked Zhao Wuming more: "I don't know how the lord plans to act next."
"Go to the Governor's Mansion first, and then enter the palace." Zhao Wuming had obviously made a plan a long time ago, so he didn't panic at all.
Qingque was shocked and hurriedly persuaded: "Childe, if it is really as inferred by Fang Cai, the palace has become a dangerous place, and it is really impossible to go."
"If you don't go to Lonely, how can you kill him, Shen Tuxiu." Zhao Wuming asked rhetorically at Qingque.
Seeing that Qingque was about to say, Zhao Wuming said something to block him: "Take care of it here, your brother Qing'an." After speaking, he looked at Gao Zhao and instructed him: "You immediately go and stop the person who made the rice paper and let him wait outside the palace."
"Yes". Although Gao Zhao didn't understand what they were talking about, looking at Zhao Wuming's expression, his heart was immediately settled.
Zhao Wuming saw Gao Zhao receiving the order, and looked at Fan Shun: "You go to Xue Qian's mansion, after Ruogu convinces the national captain." You and Xue Qian went to the Handan garrison barracks together, and quickly transferred troops to close the city gate. Strictly prohibit the entry of soldiers and soldiers".
"Yes". Fan Shun bowed down to receive the order.
After Zhao Wuming finished giving the order, he didn't care about the reactions of the others, and directly stood up and walked outside. (To be continued.) )
