At this time, King Hui asked about his soldiers and horses, grain and grass, and surrounding troops while walking, and Jin Shitong answered them one by one. When they arrived at the council hall, all the officials under their jurisdiction had already arrived, and when they saw King Hui entering, they bowed down one after another, calling for a thousand years old. King Hui raised his hand casually and shouted, and said: "The army of Beiting is pressing, and the battle post has arrived at the king's desk." He looked at the two generals on the left, "The second general of Song Chen each transferred 15,000 troops, entered the North Court from the mountain stream on the west side of Fangfang Peak, and attacked from the right rear of the Beiting army. Retreat as soon as you finish the attack, and you don't have to care about the number of enemies killed. He looked at the two civil officials on the right, "Ding Lin and the two members went to the surrounding four cities to transfer troops, and the total number should not be less than 20,000, the more the merrier." Then he looked at someone in the middle of the official lineup, "Don't slack off in the matter of grain and grass, you personally go from the official road to the south and ask for food from the nearest state capital, just say that it is the king's fatwa." ”

Next, each official was arranged to be in charge, big or small, bright or dark, as if the six cities of Lanxi and even the entire Great Xia were in the heart of this King Hui, dispatching troops to arrange troops, strategizing and winning thousands of miles - if it weren't for the fact that there was a list of officials spread out on the table in front of King Hui and a glance from time to time, Jin Shitong, who was standing nearby, would almost think that this was the real King Hui had returned.

Jin Shitong looked at Xue Huai, remembering that when this young monk came to the mansion in the past, King Hui was always very happy, and in addition to talking about the scriptures and the law, he also deduced the art of war with him with great interest. Jin Shitong, as King Hui's confidant, usually accompanies King Hui, and at that time he was quite surprised by the breadth of this young man's knowledge, miscellaneous learning, and deep knowledge. Now it seems that he is more diligent than before, and even better than King Hui in some aspects.

Jin Shitong first learned that Xue Huai was going to pretend to be King Hui, thinking that he just wanted to stabilize the Lanxi chaos and try to protect General Yue's merits. After all, with King Hui's grace to the Jingkong Temple and his love for Xue Huai all the time, it is worth his best for King Hui and Lanxi, and King Hui also explained before going to the North Court to negotiate, if Xue Huai needs it, everything in the house can be moved by him.

"The Golden Book?" The voice in front of him that was exactly the same as that of King Hui made Jin Shitong come back to his senses, and he secretly praised this vivid imitation, and hurriedly leaned over slightly and responded: "Humble duty, what does the prince command?" ”

King Hui: "Yue Song's soldiers and horses, you take the palace token to transfer it in person, you don't need to inform Yue Song." In addition, the Yuejia army immediately set off for the border and confronted each other as a vanguard. ”

Although King Hui has the right to mobilize all the soldiers and horses in the fiefdom, including the foreign Yue family army, in the case of a large army pressing the border, it is not the best policy to make enemies with Yue Song.

So Jin Shitong said cautiously: "Although he is sure of his humble position, he dares to hold General Yue so that he cannot act rashly, and he can also mobilize the Yue family's army, but first, the Yue family's army may not be very obedient, and second, this move may intensify the contradiction between you and the Yue family, and the choice of the vanguard army should be more cautious......"

King Hui: "This is the result of this king's careful thinking, go and do it." ”

Jin Shitong had no choice but to say, "Yes." That...... Does the Yuejia army mentioned by the prince include General Guiying's subordinate army? ”

Hui Wang: "No. ”

Jin Shitong frowned, and it was not easy to attack in front of many officials, so he responded again. Patiently waiting for this King Hui to finish giving the order, got up and followed him back to the apse on the way to make a suggestion, I heard King Hui say: "That day, I went to persuade Yue Song to leave Lanxi, and a soldier commander twisted him for a while, which was my instruction. ”

Jin Shitong didn't know why he mentioned this matter at this time, and wondered: "So? ”

King Hui: "Between the twists, a saffron note was sandwiched between Yue Song's customary jade belt, and chalcedony incense was dyed on his official robe. ”

Jin Shitong was surprised: "What, what do you mean?" ”
