Ji Ruhai sighed, returned to the main hall, and continued to deal with his own affairs.

Another person was sent away, in the recent period, he sent away many people, especially those generals, looking at those figures, he felt very cordial, because since Emperor Wu died, he understood that these people were his backbone, without them, Da Wu would no longer operate peacefully.

But he had to send them away, even though they might die in battle and never see them again.

The same goes for Guan Kuo.

His personal eunuch knocked on the door and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

After a pause, he said, "Guan Zhixiao and Jin Wei are asking to see each other." ”

Obviously, even the personal eunuch was very puzzled by the request of these two big men who were old enough to support the elderly, and they were the veterans of the two dynasties, even Ji Ruhai, who did not dare to ignore them.

After thinking for a moment, Ji Ruhai stood up and walked forward: "Quick, please come in!" ”

Although these two old men are strong, they don't have much ability to lead the troops to fight, this time the commander is Guan Yanyue, who set off a few days ago, and he can't bear to bother these two old men, but he didn't expect that these two would actually ask to see him in person today, he almost involuntarily put down his body, and he couldn't wait to meet the past in person.

He didn't wait to go far enough, for the two figures had already appeared at the temple gate.

They are all tall, but the difference is that Guan Zhixiao looks more burly, while Jin Wei is a little rude.

Of course, purely from a distance, they seem to be much more powerful than Guan Kuo, but Ji Ruhai understands that this is not true.

The strength comparison of two people depends not only on the body, but also on the inner aura.

Although Guan Kuo is not tall, his aura is very strong, he is young, vigorous, and sharp.

And Jin Wei is in harmony with Guan Zhixiao, and he is already old.

He knew very well that the arrival of these two elders was definitely related to Li Zenan's imperial expedition, so when he thought that they were already a handful of years old, he still had to bother them with hard work, and he couldn't help but sigh and be moved.

He came to the two old men and stretched out his hand to greet them personally.

But they rejected his offer.

Jin Wei was in front, Guan Zhixiao was behind, and they fell to the ground.

Even in the face of the former Emperor Wu, such a moment is extremely rare, and he, Ji Ruhai, never dared to imagine such a scene, so he was a little stupid.

Jin Wei and Guan Zhixiao kowtowed one after the other.

They are too untidy, and compared with those court officials who often go to court, they are really a little shabby.

But in fact, it is very luxurious.

They prostrated twice.

Ji Ruhai was only able to react at this time, and leaned down with a flushed face, wanting to help Guan Zhixiao up.

"Boss, what's wrong today, Ruhai can't afford it." He said anxiously.

But Guan Zhixiao didn't accept it.

So he had to go to help Jin worry, and said: "The boss is a veteran of the two dynasties, don't say that I haven't ascended the throne yet, but I have ascended the throne, and I can't afford your big gift!" ”

But Jin Youzai also refused to help him up.

These are two old men whom he was very in awe, he didn't dare to approach in the past, but because of the identity of the prince, he had to approach, and now the behavior of these two made him a little panicked, but he didn't know what to do.

But Jin Worry and Guan Zhixiao have already kowtowed for the eighth time.

Finally, the ninth down.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

This time their voices were loud and unusually neat.

Huge voices echoed in the empty hall, lasting and shocking.

Ji Ruhai was also shocked, he became more and more overwhelmed, and even a little afraid.

"My lord, I haven't ascended the throne yet......" he muttered.

"Can't wait any longer, there's no time, do your duty before we leave, that's what you deserve, Your Majesty." Jin Wei raised his head, looked at him, and said.

Ji Ruhai knew what he was talking about, and he didn't know what he was talking about, and he found that he had found the ignorance of his childhood again.

"Your Majesty," Guan Zhixiao said with his fists clenched, "please give us an order to let the two of us go out with the army, and in this period when the country is in danger, and in this last time when we are moving towards following in the footsteps of the previous emperor, please allow us to be loyal to the country." ”

Ji Ruhai looked at his face, which was full of traces of the vicissitudes of time like a knife and axe, so his heart couldn't help but tremble.

He noticed that his eyes were a little moist, perhaps a little moved.

"Please don't say no, you can't say no." Jin is worried.

Ji Ruhai understood that he really couldn't refuse, he could ignore the existence of these two, on top of the matter of going on an expedition. But when these two took the initiative to ask for help, all tacit understanding was broken.

"I'll let the Glaive General be in the position of commander......"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jin Weizai: "No, his command ability is stronger than the two of us, we are the commander, no." ”

Guan Zhixiao's eyes were a little gloomy: "Even if the moon is not good." ”

Ji Ruhai didn't answer, because he understood that it was not Guan Yanyue who couldn't do it, but that it was not enough to face the menacing Northern Tang army.

He half-squatted down and helped Guan Zhixiao up.

This time, Guan Zhixiao did not refuse.

Then he lifted Jin up again.

"Thank you." He said.

"For Da Wu." Jin is worried.

……

……

The air in Jinling is very fresh, especially in this late spring season.

Guan Kuo took a deep breath, and the knots in his heart slowly dispersed.

Li Xiyun and Ji Ru did not send him out of the city, just now, they were separated in the palace.

In fact, this may be the best.

Beside him, there were dense troops, a full 50,000 people, starting from Jinling and going to the land of Lianghuai.

He rode without a trace, straddling Qin Kill, silently following a general whose name he did not yet know.

The atmosphere around them was a little heavy, not only the unique murderous atmosphere in the army, but also the pressure brought to them by Li Zenan's personal expedition.

They can't fail, and if they fail, they will lose their country.

Troops from all over the country marched towards the north, and the news of the defeat of the 180,000 troops who had been defending the Huai River gradually spread.

Shocked, not shocked.

Everyone knew that with those 180,000 troops, they would not be able to resist the attack of the Northern Tang Dynasty at all, but the news of the defeat came so easily, which was still a little unacceptable.

There was a lot of talk in the army, and the generals didn't stop it, and they knew it couldn't be stopped.
