After some careful deliberation, Zhang Yu, Xie Siming, Ma Dang and others all believed that they should wait and see what happened, and gather troops and horses at the border of Qiuchi, so as to intervene in Qiuchi's internal affairs at any time.

The thoughts of the strategists coincided with his own, and Hua An immediately made up his mind to order the 10,000 troops under the command of Thunderstorm to advance to the border of Qiuchi State, and at the same time, let the army of Chen Ting's command in Nanzheng City step up training, and after the equipment was in place, he would immediately go to the border of Qiuchi and join the army under the command of Thunderstorm.

In addition, special units such as the pro-soldier battalion, the baggage battalion, and the Wudang Flying Army should also be ready to go out at any time.

While making full military preparations, Hua'an collected in detail the latest situation transmitted from the direction of Qiu Chi to be ready to deal with the situation in Qiu Chi at any time.

Yang Songnu sent an official document to the counties, asking the civil and military officials of the counties to support their own public claim, but the officials of the counties did not reply, they were all waiting and watching, after all, Yang Songnu was too hasty to call the public, and the civil and military officials of the counties knew that Yang Guo in Hechi City would definitely raise troops to fight against Yang Songnu.

Therefore, when the political situation was not completely stable, they did not dare to be loyal to anyone without authorization, so they had to be perfunctory for the time being, and even, some officials wrote to Yang Jun in Wudu City to ask Yang Jun's opinion, after all, Yang Jun held half of Qiu Chi's main army in his hands, and his attitude was very important.

A few days later, at the mansion of the great general of Wudu City, the henchmen sent by Yang Guo arrived here and handed over his handwritten letter to Yang Jun.

After reading the letter, Yang Jun did not express his position directly, but first asked Yang Guo's henchmen to go to the guest room to rest, and then. He gathered several confidants and his beloved son Yang Shi and discussed them in the main hall.

In the main hall of the General's Mansion, Yang Jun gave the letter to his son and the advisers to let them know what was going on.

All the strategists were surprised when they saw it, after all, the content of this letter was very different from the content of the letter sent by Yang Songnu, it can be said that it was completely opposite, both sides were accusing the other party of killing Yang Chu, and they were all swearing in a solemn tone. on this. The strategists are also not good at judging.

After reading it, Yang Shi smiled at the corner of his mouth, hugged his fists and said: "Father, in the eyes of a child, what Brother Guo said is true." The uncle was killed by Yang Songnu. ”

Seeing that Yang Shi's answer coincided with himself. Yang Jun was very happy. nodded with satisfaction, and said softly: "How can you see it, tell me about it." ”

Yang Jun asked his son to explain why. After all, he is getting older day by day, and the position of the general must be inherited by his son, and only his own son has enough strength to inherit his position, otherwise, the position of the general will fall into the hands of others.

Yang Shi was quite conceited, with the opportunity to show off, how could he miss it, he looked at his father, and said loudly: "There are three main reasons for the child's speech, first, the brother of the country is the prince of the country, and the country of Qiu Chi will be his sooner or later, he has no need to be in such a hurry, and he has always been filial." Second, as soon as his uncle returned to heaven, Yang Songnu took the throne without authorization for his meritorious role in quelling the rebellion, but the national brother did not. Third, not long after the monarch returned to heaven, Yang Songnu quickly took control of the situation in Xiafencheng, and the Imperial Forest Army was subdued by it so easily, there was a big problem here, I am afraid that Yang Songnu had already cultivated cronies in the Imperial Forest Army. Fourth, Yang Songnu and his uncle have a grudge against killing their brother and sister-in-law, and the country of Qiu Chi was originally in the same vein as Yang Songnu, and he has enough reasons to kill the monarch. Fifth, Yang Songnu's revenge of killing his brother and sister-in-law, his father also participated, Yang Songnu can kill his uncle today, and it is hard to guarantee that he will not kill us tomorrow, so we must think that Yang Songnu killed his uncle. ”

After listening to Yang Shi's analysis, all the henchmen in the main hall nodded affirmatively, with an expression of complete approval.

"General, what the young general said is right, this Yang Songnu harbored evil intentions, not only killed the first prince, but also shamelessly blamed the prince, it is really hateful." One henchman responded.

"The general, the major general's words are exquisite, the analysis is reasonable, and I think so below." Another confidant expressed support for Yang's analysis.

"Yang Songnu killed the ancestor and blamed the prince of the country, the crime is unforgivable, general, our army should join forces with the prince to attack the city and eliminate Yang Songnu." One of the henchmen yelled aggressively.

The strategists fully supported Yang Shi's point of view, not only because Yang Shi's analysis was reasonable, but also because when Yang Chu killed the monarch and seized the throne, they all participated, in case, let Yang Songnu sit firmly in the country, it is difficult to guarantee that Yang Songnu will not take revenge and find an opportunity to kill them.

Seeing that all the strategists supported his views, Yang Shi was quite happy, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "If the father wants to raise an army, the child is willing to be the vanguard." ”

Yang Jun smiled and said: "Since all the adults think so, then the general will promise the prince and agree to jointly attack the city, but what do you plan to do when the army is dispatched?" After speaking, he looked at several strategists.

A strategist thought for a moment, clenched his fists and said: "General, it takes time for the army to gather men and horses and prepare grain and grass, and in the opinion of the lower officials, it will take at least five or six days of preparation before the army can be raised." ”

"General, the soldiers are very fast, and the lower officials feel that they can urgently mobilize the people to help transport supplies, and the army can march to Xiazhicheng in two days." Another strategist built an early march.

Seeing that his subordinates had different opinions, Yang Jun looked at his son Yang Shi and motioned for him to express his opinion.

Yang Shi understood, hugged his fists and said: "Father, in the opinion of a child, our army will march later, first, our army will march later, so that we can have more time to prepare all kinds of materials, and second, now it is the national brother who has asked me, why don't our army deliberately delay the time in order to obtain a greater commitment from the national brother?" ”

When all the strategists heard this, they all felt that there was some truth, after all, Yang Jun did not give him any substantial benefits in addition to respect in the letter, but Yang Songnu was willing to share the world with Yang Jun.

Yang Jun nodded with satisfaction, and said softly: "My son is right, it takes a lot of time for the army to assemble and prepare grain and grass, and the general has already decided to set off in a month and march to Xiafencheng." ”

"Father, son, go and inform the messenger." Yang Shi clenched his fists, turned around and left the main hall, and went to reply to Yang Guo's cronies.

#####

In the direction of Hechi City, the five thousand soldiers and horses under the command of Yang Guo have been assembled outside the city, all kinds of war materials have been distributed to the hands of the soldiers, and the baggage such as grain and grass has long been prepared.

At this moment, Yang Guo has not yet given the order to march, he is waiting for the echo from the direction of Wudu City, after all, only with Yang Jun's support, he can calmly launch an attack on Xiacheng, at least, Yang Jun cannot stand on the side of Yang Songnu, otherwise, he will definitely lose.

"Father, the scout has been gone for many days, why hasn't he come back yet, could something have happened?" Yang An said with some concern.

Yang Guo looked at his son and comforted: "It's okay, Hechi City is one or two hundred miles away from Wudu City, and it will always take a few days for scouts to go back and forth, and there will definitely be an echo in a few days."

Yang An nodded, and then said boldly: "Father, if my uncle supports Yang Songnu, what should we do?" ”

When Yang Guo heard this, he was shocked for a moment, and replied: "No, this possibility is very small, if this is the case, my father will lead an army to fight with them, even if he dies, he must not surrender to Yang Songnu, a dog thief." ”

When Yang An heard this, his heart was surging, and he said loudly: "Father, don't worry, the child will always follow his father, it's a big deal to kill a fish and die in the net." ”

"General, General, Border Emergency." At that moment, a colonel rushed over.

Yang Guo was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the border, tell me quickly." ”

Yang Guotun was stationed in Hechi City, mainly responsible for defending the eastern and northeastern borders of Qiuchi, if there was an invasion of foreign enemies on the border at this time, he would be in a situation where he would be exposed to the enemy on his back, and his shape would become extremely bad.

The little colonel hurriedly replied: "General, according to the scout's report, the 10,000 main army of the Jin Kingdom secretly left Nanzheng, and now, they have been stationed at the border of our Qiuchi, and their intentions are unknown. ”

"Father, the Jin army sent 10,000 troops to approach my border, what is this for? Is it to take advantage of the weakness to enter and take our army by surprise? Yang An said worriedly.

Yang Guo frowned and thought for a moment, and said: "My Qiu Chi and the Great Jin Dynasty have always been well water and do not violate the river water, the Great Jin Dynasty Imperial Court went west to destroy Shu, and my Qiu Chi did not stop it, come to think of it, they have no reason to attack my Qiu Chi!" It's just that if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, if the Jin army really wants to take advantage of the weakness, with the strength of the Jin army and the weakness of our army, I am afraid that it will not be able to resist. ”

"Father, Wudu City hasn't replied yet, and the main army of the Jin army is gathering at the border again, so what should we do now." Yang An asked anxiously.

Yang Guo frowned and pondered, at this moment, there was another force in front of him, and this force was more powerful than the two forces in the country, which had to arouse his extreme attention.

"The strength of the Jin army should not be underestimated, and the intention of the Tunji border is unknown, at the moment, we must find out the intentions of the Jin army before we can calmly enter the army." Yang Guo analyzed.

Yang An hurriedly said: "What does my father command, the child is willing to go to the soup and share his father's worries." ”

Yang Guo nodded, and said: "The attitude of the Jin army towards my Qiu Chi is very important, for my father, I will write a letter to the chief general of the Jin army in Du Du Liang and Yi Erzhou, and you will personally send it to Nanzheng City, remember, you must hand it over to the chief general of the Jin army in person, and you must not fake others." ”

"Father, don't worry, the child remembers." Yang An hurriedly said. (To be continued......)
