Because of the urgency of the situation, Xie An immediately sent someone to invite Li Xian, the king of the Eight Sages, and Ji Hong, the secretary of the ministry, and when they learned that the imperial court was forced to move the capital from Jijing to Chaoge, the two of them were shocked.

"What? The imperial court has moved its capital? - When? ”

Taking the Chinese book from Xie An's hand and taking a closer look, Li Xian asked with a shocked face.

Xie An took a deep breath and said, "Two months ago, that is, in March and April, ......"

"Is it spring?" Ji Hong, the secretary of the ministry, exhaled slightly and muttered, "Sure enough, the troops in Ladong in Northern Xinjiang did not move last year, and it turned out that they were secretly accumulating strength and preparing to launch an attack at the beginning of spring this year...... Your Highness, what is the current situation in Jijing? ”

Li Xian, who was carefully looking at the national book, shook his head and said with a solemn expression on his face, "More than eighty percent of the officials of the imperial court have all moved to the ancient capital of Chaoge, and Xiao Wang's mentor, Lord Yingong, has come out of the mountain again to temporarily take over the ...... of the government."

"Lord Yin?" Ji Hong was slightly shocked when he heard this, after all, Duke Yingong is an old man who has been prime minister for thirty years, and he has a prestige that few people can match in the imperial court, but the problem is that Duke Yingong is now old, where can he still have enough energy and physical strength to deal with the government.

As if he had guessed Ji Hong's worries, Li Xian said calmly, "Xiao Wang knows what you're worried about, Mr. Ji, the teacher is old, and the imperial court will naturally not be unaware." Don't worry, although it is the teacher who personally presides over the government affairs, but there are Ruan Shaozhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Wang Danwang, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, on the left and right, with the talents of these two national scholars, I think the teacher will not work too hard......"

"That's fine!" Ji Hong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then he seemed to think of something, and asked in surprise, "Wait, why is Lord Yingong presiding over the court in Chaoge?" What about Your Majesty? Where is Your Majesty? Isn't Your Majesty singing in court? ”

Hearing this, a somewhat strange look appeared on Li Xian's face, and he muttered, "Ah, Your Majesty is still in Jijing...... Take charge of the Beijing army and guard the country! ”

His expression. After all, in their memory, although Li Shou, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, can be called a benevolent and enlightened monarch, but his personality is a little cowardly, and he has not inherited the heroic and martial arts of the first emperor Li Ji at all, and it is difficult to imagine that the courteous emperor would personally lead the army to defend Jijing and compete with the soldiers of the northern frontier.

"How so?" Ji Hong sighed worriedly and muttered, "I really didn't expect that the situation in Jijing would be so erosive...... I've never heard anything about it! ”

Hear that. Li Xian and Xie An looked at each other and were silent.

Yes. As Ji Hong said. Since the war in Jiangnan began, the imperial court has never leaked any news about the war in the north to Jiangnan, so much so that Li Xian and Xie An naively thought that the war between the imperial court and northern Xinjiang must be smooth sailing. But he never imagined that the war in the north would be so dangerous.

"This incident happened two months ago, in other words, at that time, the imperial court did not want my army to be affected, so it instructed the messenger to deliver the letter, and only after we pacified Jiangnan did we hand over this letter to us......

"I'm afraid so!" Glancing at each other, Li Xian and Ji Hong sighed secretly.

Suddenly, the whole room fell silent. No one spoke anymore, which made Liu Qing, who had been listening, feel more and more anxious, and couldn't help but break the deadlock and say, "What? What the hell is going on? Isn't there Sister Xiao Wu in Jijing? ”

"......" Xie An, who was silently eating tea, shook the tea bowl in his hand slightly and was silent.

"Say yes. What the hell is going on? What about Sister Xiao Wu? Seeing that Xie An was silent, Liu Qing was even more anxious, you know, she really regards Liangqiu Dance as her sister, and now that she sees that Liangqiu Dance is unknown, how can she live on the ground.

"Liu Junshi, Liu Junshi......" Liao Li hurriedly stepped forward to appease Liu Qing, and persuaded in a low voice, "Liu Junshi, don't be impatient, General Liangqiu's martial arts are unparalleled in the world, presumably there will be no danger......"

"But right now, you're hoping that Kyoto is in jeopardy, aren't you? Sister Xiao Wu is loyal to your Zhou court, and it is impossible to sit idly by and watch the crisis in the royal capital, unless ......" Speaking of this, Liu Qing's face changed suddenly.

And at this moment, they suddenly heard a crisp sound of "pop" in the room, and everyone subconsciously looked over, only to find that Xie An smashed the tea bowl in his hand on the table.

"Shut up!"

"......" Liu Qing was shocked, and was so frightened by Xie An's calm-sounding words that he didn't dare to say anything more.

It's no wonder, after all, Xie An is not easily angry on weekdays, even if he saw Wu Heng, who had shot and injured him two days ago, he didn't retaliate, let alone torture, he can be called a person with a lot of heart, but now, he stared at Liu Qing with that kind of eyes that were holding back anger, how could this not make Liu Qing feel afraid.

"Ahem! In fact, the national letter did not tell about General Liangqiu...... "Coughing, Li Xian diverted the topic and relieved Liu Qing. After all, he also knew the relationship between Xie An and Liu Qing and Liang Qiuwu, the former was husband and wife, and the latter had a relationship comparable to that of a righteous sister, Li Xian didn't want any rifts within them at this time.

"According to Xiao Wang's inference, General Liangqiu should be trapped somewhere......"

After being drunk by Xie An, Liu Qing also calmed down, and after taking a deep breath, he asked calmly, "How can you see it?" ”

I saw Li Xian slowly handing the Chinese book to Ji Hong, and calmly analyzed with both hands behind his back, "It is recorded in detail in the national letter that His Majesty personally guarded Jijing, and invited his mentor Yingong to the ancient capital to reorganize the imperial court, and most of the families, wealthy people, and common people in Jijing also moved to Chaoge one after another, including the harem and the families of officials in the court...... However, only His Majesty personally stayed in Jijing! - What does this mean? ”

"This means that the emperor of your Zhou State is still a responsible Ming Jun! - Do you want to flaunt this, Lord Xian? Liu Qing replied coldly.

Li Xian glanced at Liu Qing when he heard this, but he was not annoyed, and said with a smile, "It seems that you are indeed extremely worried about the safety of General Liangqiu, so that your eyes are blinded, and you can't even see such things......"

"What do you mean?" Liu Qing frowned and asked.

"It's very simple," he shook his hand to signal Liu Qing to calm down for a while, and Li Xianzheng said, "Since the imperial court has agreed to His Majesty's stay in Jijing, it must be that they think that Jijing can still be saved, so they moved away the idle people, just in case...... If it weren't for this, with the loyalty of my teacher and many virtuous people in the court, it would never be possible to sit back and watch Your Majesty stay in Jijing! ”

"So what?" Liu Qing asked suspiciously.

"The answer is obvious, isn't it?" Glancing at Liu Qing with a smile, Li Xian said in a low voice. "Why do Xiao Wang's mentors and many virtuous people in the court still think that Jijing can still be saved?"

Liu Qing's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she suddenly realized, "Sister Xiaowu? ”

"Not bad!" Nodding approvingly, Li Xian said in a deep voice, "General Liangqiu is still here, and the Shenwu Battalion of the Eastern Army is still there, and the soldiers and horses in the northern Xinjiang who threaten Jijing should only be a small part...... In other words, the current situation in Jijing should be. General Liang Qiu was still fighting with the brigade in the northern frontier. But what's the matter. However, another northern Xinjiang army broke through the defense line of General Liangqiu and endangered Jijing, so there was such a thing as moving the capital. ”

"I see, that's ......," Liu Qing breathed a long sigh of relief when she heard this. Actually, it's true. If this kind of thing were in normal times, she would naturally be able to see through it at a glance, but it was a pity that her mind was full of the safety of Liangqiu Dance right now, so that her insight had decayed to such an extent, and she said something unpleasant without choosing to speak, no wonder Xie An would be angry.

After figuring this out, Liu Qing looked at Xie An guiltily and apologized for his nonsense.

Gently patted Liu Qing's shoulder to soothe, and Xie An let out a long breath. He said in a deep voice, "However, this is the national letter from two months ago, and I have no way of knowing what the situation in Jijing is now." But one thing is certain, insider...... You will never be defeated by the soldiers of the Northern Frontier! ”

"Xiao Wang also thinks so!" Nodding his head to echo Xie An's assertion, Li Xian frowned and guessed, "According to Xiao Wang's guess, General Liangqiu is most likely trapped somewhere......

"Boling?" Ji Hong asked in surprise, after all, Liangqiu Dance was in Boling at the beginning to defend against the soldiers and horses of Northern Xinjiang.

"It should be ......" Li Xian nodded, then frowned and said, "The soldiers and horses of the Northern Frontier can bypass Boling and endanger Jijing, Xiao Wang does not feel puzzled at all, after all, Xiao Wang's fourth emperor brother once dominated the grassland, and he will definitely not be blocked by Boling's small pass, he must have found a hidden mountain stream path through Boling." The only thing Xiao Wang wondered about was ...... Why didn't General Liangqiu and the Shenwu Battalion of the Eastern Army retreat to Jijing! ”

"Your Highness, what you are saying is ......" Ji Hong said with some confusion, "Boling is the northern gateway of Jijing, so naturally it can't be handed over to the soldiers and horses of the northern Xinjiang......

"But the soldiers and horses in the north have endangered Jijing, haven't they? In other words, Boling has lost its role as a gate...... General Liang Qiu has been familiar with the art of war since he was a child, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be confused in this kind of matter. - Compared to Jijing, Boling is just a pass, and defending Jijing is the most fundamental thing, isn't it? ”

"Your Highness means ......"

Changing glances with Xie An, Li Xian muttered, "Perhaps, it's not that General Liangqiu doesn't want to retreat, but she can't retreat, she is in an embarrassing situation where she can't retreat and return to Jijing, for example...... There was an army that blocked Boling's rear and cut off her way back! Speaking of this, he raised his head suddenly, gritted his teeth and scolded, "Someone in Jijing has rebelled!" ”

"What?" The faces of everyone in the room changed greatly, and during this period, Ji Hong, the secretary of the ministry, said in shock, "Someone in Jijing has rebelled?" But Your Highness, right now Ji Jing only has ...... in his hands" Speaking of this, his face turned pale in an instant.

As if guessing what Ji Hong was thinking, Li Xian gritted his teeth and cursed, "Ah, Xiao Wang is referring to me's 'Jijing Four Towns'!" ——Among the 'four towns of Jijing', there must be someone who fornicates with Northern Xinjiang! ”

Hearing this, Xie An subconsciously glanced at Li Xian, and secretly calculated in his heart.

At this time, Liu Qing had also calmed down, frowned and asked, "How can you decide?" ”

Li Xian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "My ancestral system in the Great Zhou Dynasty has always stipulated that the soldiers of Jizhou will guard the land of Gyeonggi, and the soldiers and horses of the four towns will guard Jijing, in addition, no army shall enter Gyeonggi without permission, otherwise it will be punished for the crime of seeking rebellion against the country!" At present, the soldiers of Jizhou in the army of Gyeonggi are all in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are only 80,000 soldiers and horses in four towns in Jijing to guard the ......"

"What if it's a Northern Frontier soldier?" Ji Hong asked cautiously.

Li Xian shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Mr. Ji is from Jiangnan, and he doesn't know the ability of the Eastern Army Divine Camp...... Lord Xie should know this best. The best thing for the Eastern Army is the encounter in the field, the sergeant can be used as a scout, and the cavalry on the horse is the infantry, it is understandable that the first elite army of my Great Zhou! ——20,000 cavalry of the Eastern Army in the field, that is, 20,000 scouts, even if the northern Xinjiang soldiers have wings, it is impossible to quietly detour to the rear of Boling without General Liangqiu noticing!

General Liang Qiu has been studying the art of war since he was a child. Under the careful teaching of Liang Qiugong, it is absolutely impossible to be negligent in this kind of thing. If Xiao Wang did not guess wrong, even if the Northern Xinjiang soldiers found the mountain stream trail that could quietly pass through the Boling Pass, they would be known to General Liangqiu, and then retreated to Jijing. In other words, it was impossible for the troops of the northern frontier to quietly come to the rear of Boling without General Liangqiu noticing.

And if General Liangqiu is really trapped in the dilemma of Boling, it proves that among the soldiers and horses of the four towns of Beijing that have been inherited by my Great Zhou and Jijing for hundreds of years, some people have rebelled...... It should be one of the Southern Army's 'trapped', the Western Army's 'Trouble', and the Northern Army's 'Back'! ”

Even if he vaguely guessed it, when Li Xian said it himself. Xie Anxin couldn't help but be a little shocked.

The Eastern Army was "Shenwu", the Southern Army was "trapped", the Western Army was "relieved", and the Northern Army was "back". These four branches are known as the elite of the four towns of Jijing. It used to be the stability that maintained the stability of the Great Zhou for hundreds of years, and it was the last line of defense of the Great Zhou. And now there are all kinds of signs that there are traitors among these four elite soldiers, and it is no wonder that people will be stunned.

[A traitor in the four towns of Jijing?] ]

Fingers tapped lightly on the armrests of the seat. Xie An pondered intently.

First of all, the Eastern Army Shenwu Battalion can be ruled out, after all, Xie An would never believe that the Liang Qiu family would rebel against the Great Zhou, you must know that Liang Qiu Wu is loyal to the Great Zhou, but even as a husband, he will feel jealous.

The second is the Southern Army...... To be honest, Xie An also has a lot of trust in Nanjun, after all, Duke Lu treats him no less than Duke Liang Qiu, and treats him almost as a godson, and has matched the feelings of his daughter-in-law Su Wan and him Xie An more than once.

If you want to talk about the only mustard, that is, Lu Fan, the son of the Lu family in Nangong Mansion, was killed by Liang Qiuhao, but now Liang Qiuhao is dead. In any case, it is time for this hatred to end.

Of course, there may still be people in the southern army who hate the Liangqiu family, and even think about how to retaliate against the Liangqiu family, but in any case, the southern army is out of the nest. did not hesitate to betray Da Zhou to take revenge on the Liang Qiu family, Xie An would never believe this kind of thing.

And then there is the Western Army, in all fairness, Xie An is still prejudiced against the Western Army and the Xigong Mansion, but it is undeniable that the Western Army is the most mysterious and subtle of the four towns.

I remember that in the incident of forcing the palace led by the former crown prince Li Wei and the brothers Li Cheng, the king of Anling, the Xigong Mansion and the Western Army played the role of Li Cheng's minions, so that the yin deceived the eyes and ears of the court and suddenly entered the city. However, despite assisting Li Chengxing, the king of Anling, in his rebellion, the western army was not wholeheartedly, so that under the counterattack of the eastern army, it was crushed.

is also one of the four towns, Xie An absolutely did not believe that the Western Army would not have the slightest strength to resist under the blow of the Eastern Army, and the only explanation was that Xixiang Hou Han Yi released water in that battle, and it was not a little bit of a star.

Afterwards, the imperial court was supposed to investigate the crimes of the Western Army, but Han Yi, the Marquis of Xixiang, blamed all the faults on Li Cheng, the king of Anling, saying that his Western Army was deceived and his attitude was so good that the newly appointed Son of Heaven Li Shou really didn't know how to deal with it, and finally it was over.

And now when he thinks of the traitors in the four towns, Xie An immediately thinks of Xixiang Hou Han Yi and the Western Army, after all, the position of the Western Army in the DPRK has always been very delicate, even when Xie An and Li Xian seized power in the DPRK, the Western Army did not intervene in it, but took the initiative to avoid this matter. During that time, the West Prince's Mansion was always closed and did not participate in it.

Of course, in addition to the Western Army, the Northern Army's "backing" is not without the slightest suspicion. Like the Marquis of Xixiang, the Marquis of Beichi, Wenqin, had never expressed his political stance in the court since the death of the crown prince Li Wei, ignoring the wooing of Li Xian, the king of the Eight Sages, nor expressing his allegiance to Li Shou. What exactly this person thinks in his heart, to be honest, Xie An really can't guess.

[The Western Army, or the Northern Army, or these two Four Towns rebelled at the same time......]

Glancing at each other, Xie An and Li Xian only felt that their heads were as big as a fight, and all kinds of troubles hit their hearts.

I thought that the Four Towns Soldiers and Horses would be the most solid barrier in Jijing, so they took the Jizhou soldiers south to quell the rebellion, but who would have thought that even the Four Towns Soldiers and Horses would have traitors?

"Okay, okay," Xie An Zhengse said after taking a deep breath, "Before the situation is clarified, it's useless for me to wait here to guess, no matter what, we have to return to the Beijing Division immediately!" ”

"Hmm!" Nodding, Li Xian echoed and said, "What Lord Xie said is extremely true, but ...... Our army has just experienced a series of fierce battles, and the soldiers have not yet received sufficient rest, and they will travel a long way to Jijing, I am afraid that they will ...... Let's rectify it here! - Moreover, some aftermath matters related to the capture of Jiangnan and the Taiping Army, Xiao Wang has not yet prepared properly. ”

"How many days?"

"About two months!"

"Two months?" Xie An was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Li Xian in surprise.

Seeing this, Li Xian smiled bitterly and said, "Doesn't Xiao Wang want to return to the Jingshi immediately?" It's really impossible to get out, the soldiers who died in this battle, and the Taiping prisoners who surrendered, Xiao Wang needs to register them one by one. The sacrificed soldiers must be compensated, the surrendered Taiping army must be arranged, and the frightened people in Jiangnan must be appeased, these are not overnight! ”

"But two months, that's too long......"

"Xiao Wang can't help this, it's always a lack of manpower...... "Saying, Li Xian, the king of the eight sages, gritted his teeth and said, "Fifty days, the fastest!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a woman's crisp chuckle came from outside the house.

"Fifty days? No, ten days is enough! ”

"Huh?" Everyone in the room looked at each other when they heard this, because they felt that there was some kind of unbelievable and arrogant female voice in the tone, which was really familiar.

"Hunan ...... Rain? Xie An's eyes widened as he watched as the eldest grandson Xiangyu was holding the baby in his arms, and slowly walked in from outside the house with the support of Jin Ling'er and Qin Ke'er.

"Lord Fujun, the concubine is polite...... blinking at Xie An, the eldest grandson Xiangyu fell on Li Xian, Liu Qing and the others, and said with a smile, "How is it, Li Xian?" - You, concubine, Master Ji, Sister Ke'er, Sister Liu Qing, His Royal Highness Liu Yan, I will wait for ten days and end the matter here! And then...... Soldiers point to Jizhou! ”

Li Xian was shocked when he heard this, and then a smile rose on the corner of his mouth, nodded and said, "Now...... Manpower is enough! ”

Looking at Li Xian, eldest grandson Xiangyu, Liu Qing and others with different expressions, Xie An opened his mouth, only to feel a different feeling in his heart.

The eldest grandson, Xiangyu, Li Xian, and Liu Qing, three military advisors who have the ability to remember and have the ability to transcend the logic and multi-threaded computing capabilities of the times, can be called demonic military advisors, plus Qin Keer, Ji Hong, Liu Yan and others......

In a sense, this is already the most luxurious think tank in the world, no doubt about it!
