Yongming's condition deteriorated, and everyone was really powerless, but what surprised everyone was that such a big living person suddenly disappeared, and even the guards of the East Palace and the Criminal Department didn't know about it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The death of the prince and young master Zhang Liang was very strange and tricky, Chen Que turned the corpse over and over again, and he couldn't see any name after all.

Liu Yan was almost blown up by these sudden things at the moment, no wonder he was so annoyed, he hated calculation by nature, and knew that everything he was facing in front of him was caused by his imperial brother or courtier, and it was even more painful.

Born in the royal family, everything is out of his own hands, he has lived happily and freely for so many years, and he is already a special type among the princes, but since he returned to Jincheng and later moved the capital to Jiankang, these days, he feels that the wings behind him seem to be twisted away, and he can no longer fly.

The ensuing troubles, conspiracies, and thinking that there was no one around him, he almost wanted to give up and escape from here, and suffocate himself in this East Palace, and he was not as happy as going to the battlefield to fight with the enemy.

Thinking so, Liu Yan took advantage of the night to leave the East Palace, went west along the Hu River, and went straight to the Qingzhou military camp.

When the emperor learned about it, he was very angry and sent people to chase Liu Yan, and the ministers played again at this time, accusing the prince of fleeing because he directly admitted that he had something to do with the murder of the prince's young master.

Pei Shudong didn't know what was going on in Jiankang City, and when he saw Liu Yan coming, he felt a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it, so he led the soldiers to practice martial arts with him.

Chu Shenxia was not worried about Zhou Lang, so he called Ruoyu that day, and ran out of the East Palace to Zhou Lang's mansion again, and the two joined forces to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Helplessly, Zhou Lang was not in the mansion, and when he asked the people in his mansion, he also said that he didn't know, Chu Shenxia and Ruoyu had to go back to the East Palace.

Chu Shenxia and Ruoyu returned to the East Palace, and when they heard that Liu Yan had left, they were shocked, and Chu Shenxia sent Ruoyu and Lu Zhi to lead people to find them, no matter where they were, they must find them

On the other hand, he started the matter of the East Palace, Yongming disappeared, he took the lead to go to the Qingwang Mansion, and when he learned that Jing Ming was not there, this heart was relieved.

After asking Chen Que about the clues they found out these days, he had a little direction in his heart, and after these few things, Chu Shenxia realized that he really underestimated King Qing in the past, but he didn't expect him to be a hidden jackal.

The means are thunderbolts, not inferior to Liu Yu, and the disguise is so good, it is really taken lightly.

After the death of Lu Jixi, the situation in Lu has changed greatly, and the old ministers of Lu are ready to move, and it seems that they are going to make a big difference, and when the news reaches Jiankang, Lu has fallen into a big war.

As the nearest military camp, the Qingzhou Infantry Army should go to support, not to mention that the situation was urgent, so Liu Yan directly led the three armies to the Lu State.

At this point, the news that Liu Yan was in the military camp reached Jiankang, although the emperor was dissatisfied with Liu Yan's willfulness and recklessness, but in the end he still loved him, and sent Wang Qin to rush to Lu with a column of troops to help Liu Yan.

As soon as Chu Shenxia got the news, he settled everything in the East Palace and followed Wang Qin to the Lu State.

"You see, according to the report of our spies, this road has been cut off by the people of the Lu State." The hilt of the sword in Wang Qin's hand slashed across the parchment map.

At the end, he added: "It seems that they have been prepared for a long time, just waiting for His Royal Highness the Prince's men and horses to enter the Lu country, cut off His Highness's back road, and block us out, so they can't help them at all." ”

Chu Shenxia stared at it for a while, and then said slowly: "It's not like that, has he broken so many roads?" You see, there is a mountain here, and it is the way to go, and how can he stop it? Looking at this, although this city is heavily defended, there will be places where he misses everything, and although this road seems to be difficult to walk, it is actually possible to break through. ”

Wang Qin was well aware of his abilities, and also knew that he had always liked to take dangerous paths, and was good at attacking them by surprise, but at this time, he was still a little worried, and asked: "Since they have made preparations, this city must be difficult to attack, how can we break through the city in a very short time?" It's better to go from here, although it is a bit of a detour, but it is safer. ”

Chu Shenxia shook his head, pointed to the mountain on the map, and said in a deep voice: "Look at this mountain, sitting facing west, dividing the Lu State from the Southern Song Dynasty, but there is a river in front of the mountain, if you want to cross the mountain, you must first cross the river." ”

Glancing at Wang Qin, he pointed to the river again: "The soldiers I sent to inquire about the news on the riverside reported that there were no heavy troops guarding the riverside, only a few people patrolling there, it is conceivable that they must have expected that we would choose to climb the mountain, and set up a trap there for us to throw ourselves into the net." ”

Wang Qin pondered, his eyes tightened, and after pacing back and forth, he asked, "According to you, their heavy troops are all on the mountain?" Isn't that a city very easy to attack? ”

"No, it's not easy to attack at all." Chu Shenxia said indifferently.

"Then you ......" Wang Qin looked at him very puzzled, the road was obviously chosen by himself, and it was not easy to attack at this time.

"The city must be attacked, because the back of the mountain is a trap, we have to fall into the trap after a lot of setbacks, we will definitely lose a lot of troops, and then go back to attack the city, it will be too late, it is better to choose to attack the city at the beginning." Chu Shenxia pressed the sword in his hand, his eyes rose and fell, as if he was thinking about something.

"Then what do you think is the best way to attack the city this time?"

"There are no upper strategies, but there are many lower strategies." Chu Shenxia smiled slyly at him, and Wang Qin let out an "oh" very curiously, and then looked at him with interest.

"Siege cones."

When Wang Qin heard this answer, he was a little surprised, and he was puzzled: "Is there anything peculiar about the siege cone?" Isn't this something that has traditionally been used in marching sieges? ”

"I need to change the battering cone slightly, the head, install a metal head, to increase the power, and the outside is covered with an anti-arrow cap to block the rain of arrows from the defending soldiers." Chu Shenxia's eyes flashed, outlining all the thoughts in his heart.

"Good! That's a great idea! Wang Qin was very excited when he heard this, laughed twice, but stopped again, and hesitated: "It's just, how should this specific be made?" How long will it take? ”

"Don't worry, the commander and I rushed with the soldiers overnight, it will definitely be in time, after all, it's just to add something outside, even if it's a little superficial, I think it's enough."

Wang Qin couldn't help nodding and said, "Then do as you say, once you do it, you will immediately send troops to attack the city!" ”

Chu Shenxia saluted and wanted to retreat, but Wang Qin stopped him, originally thinking that he would ask something, but unexpectedly, he asked a question that had nothing to do with the siege.

"Shen Xia, do you think the crown prince is not interested in the throne?"

It is also this question, Chu Shenxia's heart was shocked, and his steps stagnated, most of the courtiers who supported Liu Yan are now the same as Wang Qin thought, it is really Liu Yan who has always had an attitude of not caring about himself, and sooner or later one day it will chill all the people who support him.

"Dare to ask which of the princes does not covet the throne? Although His Highness is indifferent on the surface, I can't guess what he thinks in his heart, and I don't dare to criticize it. Chu Shenxia replied with a rare solemnity.

Seeing his solemn expression, Wang Qin immediately felt that what he had just asked was beyond the etiquette, and hurriedly said: "It is true that I said something wrong, I should not criticize it, thank you for reminding me." ”

The next day, the king of the bed, Qin, learned that the siege cone had been made last night, and after wearing everything and watching it excitedly, he gathered his army and prepared to give the order to attack the city.

At this time, Chu Shenxia was gone, and the soldiers clenched the swords and spears in their hands, ready to attack, but when they saw that Wang Qin had not given the order for a long time, they suddenly had some doubts, and the soldiers exchanged their heads and ears in surprise, not knowing what had happened.

The soldier on the side stepped forward and whispered, "Commander, it's time." ”

Wang Qin raised his eyes and looked at the sky, gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Don't wait, all the soldiers obey the order and set off to Xu Chi immediately!" ”

"Yes!"

Lu really attached importance to this city, and the city gate was broken twice, but it was closed by the soldiers of Lu State, and the corpses between the city gates were piled up.

All the people are soldiers, what kind of desperate end did they come to, so that even the old, weak, women and children stubbornly resisted?

After a long attack, a big battle lasted for seven or eight hours from Sishi to Shenshi, and the marching army suffered countless casualties, and its Xu Chi's bows and arrows must not be in stock.

Wang Qin reined in his horse and turned to look at the bloody scene in front of him, only to feel that everywhere in front of him was bloody, and the unpleasant smell of blood almost made him sick.

There was a loud bang, and a flock of birds suddenly flew out of the forest not far away, and the number was staggering.

Flying over everyone's heads, flying straight towards Xu Chizhong, the fighting soldiers unconsciously stopped their movements and looked up at the sky in a daze.

The sky was just bright, and it was tightly blocked by this group of birds, and the earth instantly became dim, and with countless bird calls, the sky returned to its clear appearance.

For a moment, everyone felt that the feeling of being sunshine was so comfortable, and when they looked down and saw the enemy standing with a knife, they couldn't help but feel a trace of helplessness in their hearts.

In the midst of war, how can we talk about sunshine?

After the birds flew by, a small group of people galloped out of the forest, and the swiftness of the whip and the rapidity of the hooves made everyone stunned.

Soon, the people of Lu reacted and kept retreating to the city gate, and the rockets on the city wall followed, Wang Qin's horse's head was shot by the rocket, and Ma Deng launched a frenzy and threw Wang Qin off the horse's back at once.

Arrows and knives in one place, Wang Qin thought that this time he fell off the horse's back, and he would be bruised at light, or trampled to death by the horse under the hooves, and if he was not careful, he would be killed by the Lu soldiers who surrounded him.

The expected landing did not come after all, he only had time to hear a horse neighing, and then his arm was firmly grasped, and the whole person was lifted up at once.

When he got on the horse, Chu Shenxia had already jumped down, and actually gave up his horse to Wang Qin, and while fighting with the Lu soldiers, he said in a loud voice: "Commander, let the soldiers retreat." ”

Wang Qin was a little hesitant, after attacking the city for so long, both armies were holding on, to see who fell first, at this time he retreated rashly, didn't he give the Lu army a great opportunity?

Maybe if you hold on for a while, then the Lu army won't be able to do it? Thinking of this, Wang Qin did not do what Chu Shenxia said.

Instead, he raised the knife in his hand, not afraid of the flying arrows, and shouted: "Kill!" ”
