In the evening, the camp was full of jubilation.

The soldiers finally had a full meal.

The Vermilion Bird King and the Xuanwu King inspected the tents, saluting the soldiers and boosting their morale, which won the soldiers to cheer wildly.

The sound of cheers was transmitted into Xuanwu Pass.

Pan Zihao and the others were silent when they heard this.

Qin Peng smiled and said: "Let them have a full meal, the condemned prisoners will also be given a full meal before they are executed, not to mention the Vermilion Bird King and the Xuanwu King." ”

Everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was better.

Outside the city, King Xuanwu disguised himself as a scout army and quietly left the camp amid jubilation. In order not to alarm the Anguo spies, he did not mobilize any of his subordinates, but went back to Beijing to meet Zhang Jinyan, and selected a thousand elites from the Xuanwu army under Jinyan's command. Then detour to the west, enter Anguo, fight all the way, take food from Anguo, and kill directly to Anguo Shangjing.

The next day, after Wang Yan and the Suzaku King discussed, they sent Huo Fei to take people east to Jinzhou and Yunzhou to raise grain and grass, but in fact, they responded to Li Hanyao.

He said to Huo Fei: "In this battle, grain and grass are the key. Although we can't count on Miss Li, we can't help but plan ahead. I guess: If Miss Li had a plan, she would definitely act through the Yunzhou Murong family. The general can send someone to Murong's house to tell me about the burning of military grain and grass. If Miss Li gets this news, she will definitely do her best to come. The younger brother estimated that Miss Li would not leave Jiangnan lightly, and nine times out of ten she would send a chess watcher. The general had seen the chess girl, and it was only fitting that he would go and pick it up. ”

Huo Fei didn't say a word, only said: "Don't worry! ”

Then he set out with 20,000 elite soldiers.

On the third day, Empress An Guo rushed to Xuanwu Pass, and Emperor An temporarily stayed in Ulanketong to prevent the rebels from attacking the rear.

As soon as Empress An arrived, she conveyed Emperor An's will to Qin Peng:

First, send people to Yunzhou to intercept Li Hanyao.

Second, immediately launch an offensive against the rebels.

She sneered: "There is a Liang Xinming who died, and another Li Hanyao came out!" He didn't measure his own strength, and he wanted to dominate the world. She wants to support the war in northern Xinjiang and transport grain from the south of the Yangtze River to northern Xinjiang, is it easy? Bengong estimated that she was just counting on the Murong family to help. The emperor immediately sent someone to Yunzhou to kill the Murong family! ”

Qin Peng hurriedly asked: "Didn't the queen mother say that there are people in Jiangnan who deal with Li Hanyao?" ”

Empress An said: "This palace must be foolproof!" ”

There was an inexplicable glint in her eyes.

Qin Peng suddenly woke up: When the queen mother was in Dajing, she trapped Liang Xinming under the Taiji array in the Taiji Cave, thinking that she was dead, but a few months later, Liang Xinming appeared in the capital. The father said that since that incident, the queen mother has become more and more thoughtful, and everything must be considered carefully and strive to be foolproof.

He hurriedly said: "The son obeys the order." Then he asked, "Why did my father give the order to attack immediately?" The rebels have only received 100,000 stone of food, and now that their morale is high, why not wait for them to run out of food before attacking? ”

The queen said solemnly: "My son remembers: the lion fights the rabbit, and you still have to do your best, not to mention that you are not facing a rabbit, but Vermilion Bird and Xuanwu!" These two are by no means mediocre and incompetent. Zhang Boyuan seems to be gentle and elegant, but in fact, he is the most scheming, vicious and ruthless; Zhao Yin became famous in the field when he was a teenager, and his martial arts and art of war were all first-class, and he was your father's fierce rival.

These two, coupled with Liang Xinming's treacherous son, may not set off some storms. I speculate with your father that they will not sit idly by, but they are afraid that they have already made a move. We must seize the opportunity, take advantage of their new harvest of food, and when they are happy, suddenly attack, until they run out of food and grass, and push them into a desperate situation, without even the strength to escape. ”

Qin Peng suddenly smiled happily.

Empress An asked, "Is the emperor also preparing to attack?" ”

Qin Peng was stunned and said, "How did the queen mother know?" ”

Empress An restrained her fierce expression, looked at her son with loving eyes, and said with a smile: "When it came to Li Hanyao just now, you looked puzzled; There was no surprise at the second purpose, and it was clear that he had prepared for it. ”

Qin Peng said happily: "I can't hide anything from the queen mother." ”

Empress An asked, "Then why don't you wait for them to run out of food before attacking?" ”

Qin Peng talked eloquently: "Wang Yu gave his sons a problem: if the sons and daughters don't give food to redeem the families of the surrendered army, it is unkind; If it is redeemed, it is unwise. Erchen had no choice but to find a solution between unkindness and unwisdom. ”

Empress An smiled and asked, "How did the emperor solve it?" ”

Qin Peng said confidently: "Redemption!" 100,000 stones, what about giving them? I'm afraid that they will be difficult to restrain after eating. When they were most proud, they would strike blatantly until they ran out of food and grass, and they didn't even have a chance to call for help. ”

Mother and son have a heart.

Empress An looked at her son, her eyes full of pride, "The emperor's experience is getting more and more breathing, and he has the courage of the first generation of Qinglong King and Emperor Yingwu." ”

Qin Peng was very happy.

Suddenly remembered something, and said: "There is another thing: Yesterday, Erchen received a secret letter, saying that Dajing had developed a car that could run without pulling a horse, and it was extremely fast, and it had been brought to Xuanwu Pass by Wang Yan Zhang Jinyan. Our scouts didn't find it. According to the date provided by the secret letter, the retainers calculated that the king had only been on the road for more than ten days. It's worth it! Erchen felt that the war should not be delayed any longer, and that they must be defeated before they use this car on a large scale. ”

If it's too late, the other party's grain and grass will be connected.

After hearing this, Queen An also became serious.

However, she did not panic and comforted her son: "Don't worry, this time, no matter what car or cannon they have, they will be powerless." ”

Qin Peng asked in surprise: "What does the queen mother mean?" ”

Empress An said: "You will know then." ”

Qin Peng said: "Erchen understands. ”

He knew his mother's temperament, and said that Wang Yan was powerless to return to heaven, and he must have relied on it, and as for what it was, when he should tell him, he would tell.

He was even more confident in the fight.

After the mother and son agreed, Qin Peng said with a smile: "The queen mother's residence, the son has asked someone to arrange it, and the son son concludes that the queen mother will like it." ——It is in the second main courtyard of the newly built Beicheng Marshal Mansion. I heard that it was specially for the lord's family to live, and since it was built, Liang Xinming was the first person to live. Since she lived, Zhongyi Gong left the courtyard vacant, and no idlers were allowed to live there, not even himself. ”

Empress An's eyes really lit up and said, "The emperor has a heart." The main palace lives there! Perhaps, when Liang Xinming's ghost returns in the evening, he can still catch up and chat with the palace. - I really miss her! ”

There was a look of remembrance in her eyes.

Qin Peng: "......"

He reaffirmed the queen mother.

Next, Qin Peng dispatched troops.

Pan Zihao took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Yunzhou.

He said: "Yunzhou is the land of my Pan family, and the Pan family and the Murong family are world friends, and Weichen is more familiar with the terrain and human feelings than others. ”

Qin Peng said: "Quasi! ”

Pan Zihao set off with a hundred elites. He had already committed treason at this time, and it was easy to attract attention with more people, so he had to act quietly.

At midnight on the morning of the fifth day of the second lunar month, Qin Peng was at the head of Xuanwu Pass and ordered his soldiers to fire three cannons at the military camp of the Xuanwu Army outside the city.

Of course it didn't hit, King Xuanwu and King Vermilion Bird wouldn't be stupid enough to station the camp within the range of Anguo's cannons.

This is just a signal for the offensive.
