Dingwu really didn't have much energy to pay attention to Ma Hong and Lin Yuanfang at this time, as Lin Yuanfang said, Hexi is now surrounded by smoke and is in danger, although Dingwu does not have any good feelings towards Lin Yuanfang and others, but he also knows that when the time is extraordinary, they still need to serve the imperial court.

When Liuli came to Dingwu's side, Dingwu was frowning, with a trace of sadness between his eyebrows.

In late autumn, the climate in the north is quite cool, Liuli took a blanket and gently covered Dingwu's legs, Dingwu came back to his senses, looked up at Liuli, and barely showed a smile: "You're back." ”

"Don't be depressed, Holy One." Liuli said softly: "This will make your blood uncertain and delay your leg disease." ”

Dingwu sighed and briefly said what happened to Fang Cai, and Liuli understood: "When the concubines entered the door, they saw them hurrying out, and they were very panicked, and they didn't know what was going on. ”

"At this point, they're still being selfish." Ding Wu sighed: "In the current situation, if the monarchs and ministers work together, they may be able to hold on, but these people are fighting each other for their own selfishness, and strong enemies are coming, if my Great Qin can't be clenched into a fist, how can I deal with the enemy." ”

"Holy Lord, after all, there are loyal ministers like Marquis Changling." Liuli said softly: "The more extraordinary the time, the more you must keep a calm heart, and with the wisdom of the saint, you can always get through this difficulty." ”

Dingwu said gloomily: "I also want to get through, but! His eyebrows tightened, and his expression became very solemn.

"Holy Lord, does the Qingtian King really want to attack Hujin?" Ruri asked softly.

Dingwu sneered: "Their thoughts, how can I not understand. In their opinion, whoever rushed to Hexi first and was the first to enter Wuping Mansion was whoever attacked and destroyed the Qin State and became famous. That Qingtian King raised troops in Hebei, he was an ambitious person, but his strength was not good, he guarded Hebei, and waited for the opportunity, if it wasn't for the Liaodong people who came over this time, he wouldn't dare to act rashly. Now that he knows that the Liaodong people are attacking Yanshan, and the main force of our Hexi is also being dragged on the battlefield of Yanshan, he is naturally moved! His expression became extremely cold and solemn.

"Holy Lord, how should we deal with the enemy now?" Liulixiu's eyebrows frowned slightly, and her beautiful face showed a look of worry: "Although the Qingtian King is a rabble, after all, there are many people, if you really want to enter Hujin, Hujin may not be able to resist it." ”

Dingwu bowed slightly, "I'm just worried about this. Hujin Meilong has insufficient troops on hand, and the logistics are scarce, if he really wants to fight, it is difficult to stop the Qingtian King by relying on Hujin alone. It's just that most of the Hexi Army is now being dragged in Yanshan, and nearly 10,000 cavalry on the Xishan side to deal with the Northwest Army are already overstretched, and I now only have less than 10,000 people left on the Hexi side, if they are transferred out, Hexi will be empty inside, and I am worried that people with other intentions will take advantage of the situation. ”

Although Feng Yuanpo in Hexi is dead, his influence in Hexi has not disappeared, although Dingwu is currently suppressing Hexi, so that the people of Hexi do not dare to act rashly, but if all the soldiers and horses in Hexi are transferred, once the frontline is stalemate, and the internal soldiers and horses are scarce, no one dares to guarantee that the people of Hexi are still submissive.

Although Dingwu shocked Hexi in a short period of time, he still relied on force and leniency for the officials and gentry in Hexi, and under the circumstances at that time, he could only choose the method of combining grace and power, otherwise if he really wanted to forcibly investigate the guilt, most of the officials and gentry in Hexi were implicated in Feng Yuanpo, and when he knew that he would definitely die, he would inevitably set off a wave of resistance, and the entire Hexi would inevitably fall into turmoil, and he would never return to peace in a short time.

However, because of this, although Dingwu seems to have controlled Hexi, the foundation is weak, and it is okay to have a slight change, and the foundation is likely to collapse.

It is precisely because of this that although Dingwu knew that the troops on the Xishan side were weak and knew that the battle in Yanshan was in full swing, the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses guarding Wuping Mansion City did not dare to transfer a single soldier.

Now the Tianmen Dao in the south has not fought Fenshui to kill the north, but the Qingtian King is eyeing Hujin, Dingwu knows that it is difficult to resist with Hujin's strength, if he sits idly by and does not give reinforcements to Hujin, Hujin will sooner or later fall into the hands of the Heavenly King.

The smoke was everywhere, Dingwu was anxious, and he was a little exhausted.

Liuli's beautiful eyes turned slightly, and she said softly: "Shengshang, if you sit idly by, I'm afraid it will be difficult to keep Hujin, if you really want to be occupied by the Qingtian King, the soldiers will go straight to Hexi, and the situation will be even worse at that time." ”

Dingwu sighed: "Why don't I want to send reinforcements, but do I really want to send the soldiers and horses from the garrison Wuping Mansion over?" ”

"Have you forgotten that in addition to the soldiers and horses guarding Wuping Mansion, there is also a team in Hexi, which can now come in handy." Liuli said with a smile: "If you send them over, you may be able to solve Hujin's urgent needs." ”

"You're talking about it!" Ding Wu frowned slightly, and halfway through speaking, he immediately remembered, "You mean the people who built the Heavenly Palace?" ”

"Exactly." Liuli said with a smile: "Holy Lord, in order to build the Heavenly Palace, Feng Yuanpo requisitioned more than 100,000 capable laborers, and these people are now available." ”

Ding Wu said: "After I ascended the throne, I have sent most of them back to their hometowns, but there are still many clean-up projects in the Heavenly Palace that have not been completed, and there are still 30,000 or 40,000 people cleaning them up now. After hesitating for a moment, he frowned and said: "Although these people are all young and strong, they have not been trained, and sending them to the battlefield at this time is undoubtedly sending them to death." ”

"Holy Lord, no one is born to fight." Liuli sighed lightly: "And the soldiers under the command of the Blue Sky King are also riots, and they have not undergone special training, so they may not be able to fight." Moreover, compared to Great Qin, the soldiers of the Qingtian King are very lacking in weapons and equipment, far less sophisticated than my Great Qin, as long as this group of people is equipped with weapons and reinforces Hujin, the pressure of Hujin can be easily solved. ”

Ding Wu thought for a moment, and after a while, he said softly: "As far as I know, the Qingtian King is good at commanding troops, and even Han Santong, who has been fighting for a long time, was not his opponent. And over the years, King Qingtian first fought with Han Santong's Tun Guards, and then fought with the Liaodong Army, and the soldiers and horses under his hands have been greatly trained, and they are no longer a rabble! He sighed lightly and said, "It's just that now there are no soldiers available except for those people." ”

The cold wind hit, Dingwu's body twitched slightly, and Liuli hurriedly said: "It's cold outside, Shengshang, let's go back to the house first." ”

Dingwu bowed slightly, Liuli pushed up the wheelchair, Dingwu put his hands on the blanket, and asked, "How is the situation over there?" You can meet Xuanyuan Shao these days. ”

Liuli shook her head and said softly: "Xuanyuan Shao seems to be deliberately avoiding me, and Xuehua Niangniang has never mentioned Xuanyuan Shao again, but only occasionally asks about the saint's affairs." ”

Ding Wu smiled coldly and said, "Maybe Xuanyuan Shao has discovered something. ”

"What can he find?" Liuli frowned and said, "Holy Lord, does he already know that you are suspicious of him?" ”

"Xuanyuan Shao is a very smart person." Dingwu said softly: "As long as he senses the slightest clue, he will be on guard. He smiled coldly, "If he doesn't shy away from you like before, then it's not entirely certain that he really has two hearts, but since he avoids you, he is on guard, which proves that he really has ghosts in his heart." ”

"If that's the case, be careful." Liuli said worriedly: "Although the rebels threaten Hexi, after all, we still have soldiers and horses to deal with, if Xuanyuan Shao has two hearts!" At this time, he pushed the wheelchair into the house and said sadly: "Once he provokes civil strife in Wuping Mansion, the front-line soldiers will be affected, and the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Dingwu pondered for a moment, and his expression became cold: "I wanted to wait a little longer, but since Xuanyuan Shao has already taken precautions, he can't guarantee that as long as there is a slight change in the front-line war, he will attack in Wuping Mansion!" He clenched his fists and said in a low voice: "No, you can't wait any longer, Liuli, you're right, if you don't get rid of internal worries, sooner or later you will cause a catastrophe, and the consequences will be unimaginable." Staring at Liuli's beautiful face, he sighed lightly: "I can't make up my mind for a long time, I really can't bear it, but now, I can't continue to be a woman's kindness, for the sake of the Great Qin Jiangshan Sheji, I can only endure the pain." ”

Liuli sighed lightly: "The concubine knows that Xuanyuan Shao and his family have made great contributions to Great Qin, but! He shook his head, looking helpless.

"Liuli, you said that if I really make a move, will it seem ruthless?" Ding Wu groaned slightly, and said softly: "Although he has different intentions, he hasn't done anything to hurt me after all. ”

Liuli frowned at Xiumei and groaned slightly, and finally said softly: "The concubine's courageous words, if you wait for Xuanyuan Shao to really make a move, I am afraid that the Holy Lord will have no chance to fight back." ”

Dingwu looked at Liuli's charming eyes, his body seemed to shake slightly, and finally bowed his head slightly: "You're right, if you wait until he really makes a move, I'm afraid it's too late for me to make a move." Then he frowned and said: "But since Xuanyuan Shao has the intention of rebellion and is on guard, it is not easy for me to deal with him!" He sighed lightly: "He is a strong martial artist, and he has never left his bow, as long as the longbow is in his hand, there is no one around me who is his opponent." I have always allowed him to bring a bow to him, and if he suddenly orders him to come unarmed, he will be alert. ”

Liuli is also embarrassed: "Xuanyuan Shao's archery skills are unparalleled, and there are many soldiers and horses under him, it is indeed not easy to get rid of him." ”

"I'm afraid that I can't get rid of him, but I will be harmed by him." Dingwu frowned and said, "Liuli, you are the only person I trust, but what is a good way to help me eradicate this thief?" ”

Liuli thought for a moment before saying, "Does the Holy Lord want to kill him, or do you want to capture him?" It would have been much easier if I just wanted to take his life. Zhao Quan and Nagan guards are all warriors with one as ten, as long as Xuanyuan Shao is passed on to the palace and ambushed Zhao Quan and others to kill, even if Xuanyuan Shao is strong in martial arts, even if he has a longbow in hand, he will never be an opponent with a large number of enemies. ”
