The heavy fog makes people feel that the sky is getting lower and lower, and the distance between heaven and earth feels like one person can reach it.

The general's flying horse stopped outside the door, and neighed, and he had just run too fast, and he had just strained the reins, and the horse had been strangled by him, and was now complaining of its pain.

The general rushed into the study and immediately summoned Jingyu to discuss the matter. Jingyu was sorting out the military books in the side room, which the general had asked him to read, and he was now tidying up and preparing to give them to Yundui.

Xiao Si called him in front of the door, saying that the general had a rumor, and Jingyu immediately put down the work in his hand and rushed over.

In the study, Guan Duyuan stood with his hands in his hands, his expression solemn, and Jingyu guessed that it must be the royal family and a demon.

Without waiting for Jingyu to ask, the general directly told him, "It's time to go on an expedition!" ”

Jingyu stiffened for a moment, although he had a premonition, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, he was frightened but afraid, the general went out to attack Beiyuan, and the old general was still in the camp. This is going to start, and half of the people don't think about the situation of the general, and his father is still on the enemy's side, isn't it a night trip on a single-plank bridge like this?

Jingyu was very anxious and asked, "General, the holy decree hasn't been issued yet, has it?" ”

He said: "It is estimated that it will be soon, it has just been announced in court above the court, just a document, and then it will arrive!" ”

Jing Yu was anxious like a madman, it was not that he had never gone on an expedition with the general, but this time it was different, the general had demons. Heart sickness and demons can make a person lose his mind, and he has to face the fact that he dare not face it, it is too risky, and he is too worried about the general.

But he didn't have a choice, as a general in Dayuan, he already had the responsibility of protecting the people of Limin, and as a military general stationed outside the Shensha Pass, he and the general had no way out, and they were very clear about this.

He asked tentatively, "What...... So what is the general's arrangement? ”

Guan Duyuan looked out the window, "Wait first, see how many people the emperor is allowed to bring?" ”

Jingyu said: "We only have 30,000 soldiers stationed at the border pass, and if we want to win the battle, all our soldiers in the central part need to be transferred to the border pass. ”

Guan Duyuan smiled bitterly and said sadly: "It is impossible for our emperor to let you and me take them all, why does he want me to transfer the main army back to the central part of the country?" You and I know very well, if you can trust me, why bother to transfer around. You see that the four princes are guarding the northeast border, why did the emperor ask his main force to be transferred back to the central region? ”

Alas, His Majesty the Emperor doesn't believe him, and this battle is all the royal blame. As soon as the grain collection document came out, he advised him, but not only did he not accept the advice, but he also said that he was distracted; Now that others are jumping over the wall in a hurry, he still has to let someone he doesn't trust, which is also his own sin.

Jingyu was indignant, "If you don't trust it so much, why do you want to arrange a general?" ”

Guan Duyuan said: "The border pass I guard, it is not appropriate to send other people, this is one of them; Second, the old general was on the other side, and he judged that I would fight desperately and dare not slack off; Third, even if the army is defeated, it will not hurt the fundamentals, but it can also get rid of a big problem in his heart. ”

The more Jingyu listened, the more unpleasant it became, he was really angry, and he had nowhere to vent, so he slammed his fist on the wall and shouted: "How can this be true! ”

Guan Duyuan was unusually calm, Jingyu suspected that the person in front of him was not the general he got along with day and night, how did he know that people with cold hearts would not be angry or resentful.

In the evening, a team of hussars galloped to the General's Mansion at Dusk, led by the eunuchs, holding the holy decree in their hands, and trotted all the way to the main courtyard of the General's Mansion. At the same time, a pair of people marched to the mansion of the Nine Princes, and the chief eunuch held the holy decree in his hand, and stood solemnly in the courtyard of the palace.

The chief attendant read the holy decree aloud, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said, General Duyuan will go to the northwest with the commander, and he is hereby named the general of the expedition to the west, send 100,000 elite soldiers, and set off in three days!" ”

The chamberlain read out the holy decree, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, with the nine princes and the general to go to the northwest, I hereby be appointed as the commander of the expedition to the west, and set off in three days!" ”

Thanksgiving!

The prince's mansion was festive, and the general's mansion was silent.

The people who followed the general to kneel on the ground to receive the order were all circled, and after Guan Duyuan received the order and thanked him, he motioned to Jingyu to take a look and ask what the situation was.

"I'm sorry for you to make a special trip", Jing Yu said as he stuffed some silver into the person who sent the holy decree, one for each person, and the whole team was very happy, "Who is this governor of the holy decree?" ”

The leader took the silver two with a smile, hurriedly bowed his head, and whispered: "This commander is the ninth prince, the emperor personally issued an edict, and ordered him to lead the army to the expedition in three days." It is estimated that at this time, the holy decree also arrived at the prince's mansion. ”

A group of people and horses flew away, and everyone in the house was very unfair. Jing Yuqi's face was pale, and Guan Duyuan was still as calm as ever.

In the study, Jing Yu was speechless, he had the urge to take the holy decree from the general's hand and burn it, but he just thought about it.

Guan Duyuan analyzed it to Jingyu to show comfort, "What's so angry, I don't feel at ease at the feet of the Son of Heaven, will I rest assured that I will lead more than 100,000 soldiers to leave?" Of course, you have to arrange a prince to overseer it, and it is a prince who wants to make meritorious contributions and strive for performance, I think you Jingyu can still figure it out. ”

Jingyu listened to the general's words, and became even more angry, "General, I understand all these truths, but since ancient times, the principle of monarchs and ministers has been 'do not need to be suspicious, and there is no suspicion in employing people', how can Your Majesty do it today?" ”

After a pause, Jingyu continued: "Arranging a prince, named Governor Shuai, has to be served well, not only to listen to his dispatch, but also to ensure his safety, this is to add to the chaos. If we delay the timing of our battle and make a mistake, all the fault will be the general's, and if we succeed, the credit will be someone else's. Scold! It's ironic, if you don't follow such a one, it's all up to you, and you will ...... outside."

"The general will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected", without waiting for Jingyu to finish speaking, Guan Duyuan took his words and said, "Your Majesty is afraid that we will come to a 'will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected', so he arranged such a person to supervise us." Just like you said, don't say anything about the battle, once there is a fault, it's all you and me, if you get the merit, it's all in the commander, this move is really smart, we were caught off guard, and we can't shirk it, people are the commanders, it's to assist in the war! ”

Jingyu asked angrily, "Then why must it be the Nine Princes?" ”

replied coldly, "I just said that I want to arrange a prince who earns performance and is not easy to mess with, think about it, the prince is the foundation of the country, and he is reluctant; The four princes are guarding the border in the town and can't be adjusted; The other princes are all young, only this Nine Princes meets the requirements of the emperor, ruthless, scheming, courageous, and has to fight for merit. ”

Jing Yu woke up like a dream, "No wonder such a big mistake of the Nine Princes can be offset with one stroke, it turned out that I had planned to give the general such a big stumbling block!" ”

The general said, "Don't blame him for having this plan!" ”

Jing Yu was blinded, "Not to blame? Isn't it strange that it's all like this? ”

Guan Duyuan said lightly: "Do you think, I will lead an army of 130,000 to fight with the enemy, and winning if I don't fight is a later story, the key is that the old general is in the enemy camp, so he is not afraid that I will surrender or form an alliance with the enemy?" You're still thinking too simply. ”

Jingyu listened to the general's words and woke up like a dream, "The general is saying that the emperor is afraid that the general will surrender for the sake of the old general, and he is even more afraid of forming an alliance with the enemy?" It seems that this is also the case, and they are clumsy to distrust the general's personality so much! If such a king is in power, it will not be long before the country is consolidated! ”

Guan Duyuan stood with his hands in his hands, his expression unchanged, still as serious as ever.

Jingyu approached the general a little, lowered her voice, and asked, "Will the general do that?" Guan Duyuan's brows were unconsciously slightly raised, and his expression changed slightly, and he asked himself in his heart, "Will you do that?" Will it or won't? ”

Jing Yu regretted this sentence when he asked it, the general would not be like that, and immediately added: "The general will definitely not, I am all nonsense, I should fight!" "He really slapped himself, not heavy, but loud.

But Guan Duyuan on the side didn't care about what Jingyu said later, and Jingyu slapped himself, but he didn't react. He only felt that his heart was empty, and he felt that the heavens and the earth were spinning......
