Xiao Xiao chuckled: "Naturally, you have to wait." If this king acts recklessly, some people are afraid that they will be scared to death, and they do not know what to do. Besides, since he is the king of Jingqin, he naturally has to listen to the meaning of the saint. How many pairs of eyes are staring at us, we naturally have to be more cautious than before. ”

Huzi puffed out his face and said depressedly: "Seeing that the Tartar is in front of us, we can't rush up to chop melons and vegetables, it's just too embarrassing!" It's been a long time since I've had a good fight! ”

Xiao Xiao laughed and patted Huzi on the shoulder, "What's the hurry, Tartar is right in front of you, are you afraid that there will be no battle to fight?" ”

Don't say that Huzi, it's him, and his hands will itch after a long time of comfortable days. The Tatars slaughtered from the north to the capital, occupied how many big cities in the Great Zhou, and slaughtered how many people? owes such a blood debt, but anyone who is a bloody Great Zhou person can't tolerate it!

It's just that at the moment, Li Qitian has no will, and they are under the noses of the people of the world, he brought 280,000 soldiers and horses to King Qin, and he will be stared at by people with intentions, once he makes a mistake by half a step, he will definitely be grabbed by someone, and then things will be pushed to an uncontrollable point.

At the moment, even if he wanted to directly lead the troops to rush directly into the city gate and go through the entire capital to help Ji Zeyu in the north, he couldn't act rashly.

The Pingnan army led by Xiao Xiao is stationed in the south, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the casual character who only knows how to eat money has been completely changed under the leadership of Xiao Xiao in the past, and now the Pingnan army is strictly disciplined and ordered not to act without authorization, and to camp outside the city gate and wait for the Holy Lord's orders, everyone has nothing to say.

"Fortunately, the spring flowers are blooming, and even if the big guys live in tents, they won't freeze out." Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi led the strategists to discuss countermeasures every day, and when it came to Li Qitian's arrangement, everyone was surprised and helpless.

"The saint is jealous of the prince, and he has reached the point of ignoring the safety of the capital, which is really chilling."

"You and I have not experienced the tense situation in the capital, but this is still the case, the people of the capital watch the wounded soldiers being carried down every day, and listen to the shouting and shouting outside the city, I am afraid that they are already panicking."

The strategists looked at the few people, and they all had the same idea in their hearts at this time.

Xie Yue pursed his lips and thought for a while before he said pertinently: "Lord Wang, in fact, this is an excellent time. The attention of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court is on the Tatars, and the money and food in their hands are also limited, if we attack with all our strength at this time, we will definitely be able to take the capital. ”

Even if the rest of the sentence is not finished, everyone can understand what he means. Now is the time for Li Qitian to focus on Tatar, and if he wants to seize the throne, it is the best time. If you do it now, you will definitely be able to succeed in one fell swoop.

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao only smiled, "I am from the Great Zhou, and I can't hand over the people of the Great Zhou to foreign people to rule under any circumstances, that will definitely make the people become slaves, even if I can take the capital now, what about the future?" Will anyone hold a grudge against me for this? Will there be people who will not want to follow me and continue to resist the Tatars?

"Now is not the time to think about these things. Jointly with the outside world, it is important to drive the Tatars out of the land of the Great Zhou. As for the rest, everything will be safe in the future, and the people will be safe. Nor can I base my cause on the sacrifice of the people. ”

The strategists had just supported Xie Yue's statement, and they all nodded again and again when they heard the words. The prince is a benevolent and righteous person, and he puts the people first everywhere, which is already very valuable. They can follow such a master, and they will be blessed in the future.

Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi looked at each other and smiled.

Others may not know, but Xu Weizhi knows Xie Yue too well. The reason why he said this in front of the strategists was also to give the prince a chance to present his feelings, so that they could all understand the prince's painstaking efforts and know why the prince did not choose to attack the capital directly.

The reason why the prince is choosing like this now may be from the perspective of the people. But for these onlookers, the prince's choice is precisely the one that can bring him the greatest benefit.

As a strategist, he naturally has to do his best to think about the prince. Make appropriate suggestions when the prince is confused. But in recent days, Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi have gradually discovered that all the choices made by Xiao Xiao seem to have adventures on the surface, but the final result seems to be good for him.

Sometimes even Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi also felt that the prince was taking risks, but in the end, they all turned the danger into a disaster.

Could it be that this is the destiny of heaven, and Tianjizi's early calculations are correct?

When everyone was discussing, Li Qitian in the palace was also able to discuss with a few henchmen, "The Pingnan army is still stationed outside the city, if such a large number of men and horses are directly put into the city gate like the rest of King Qin's reinforcements, if Prince Zhongshun has a rebellious heart, won't he be able to find any hope at all?" ”

Li Qitian also thinks like this, so he is particularly entangled.

"I have also thought about it, Prince Zhongshun has fought for the Great Zhou for many years, and in the end he has made great contributions, and I don't want to doubt him."

The people who can be called to the imperial study alone to discuss countermeasures are Li Qitian's henchmen, and the reason why these people are Li Qitian's henchmen must be because they are good at judging the situation and understanding what Li Qitian thinks better, and they can always say things that can solve problems and please Li Qitian.

At this time, they were all worried, and they said in unison: "Think twice." ”

Several people glanced at each other, and then each spoke: "Holy Lord, you are an open-minded person, and you don't think much about it, but the ministers can't help but think about what happens. Your trust in Prince Zhongshun does not mean that Prince Zhongshun will be loyal to you. Once something happens, just in case. Things will be out of hand. Please also consider it carefully. ”

"Yes, the saint should think about the great cause first, and the ministers also know that the saint wants to do such a thing that does not trust the loyal prince, and it is indeed uncomfortable and tormenting in his heart, but for the sake of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, please think twice."

Li Qitian's face was as usual, and he lowered his eyes to think about the back of his hand when he listened.

After a long time, Li Qitian said slowly: "I understand what you mean. Think about it first. ”

He thought that with Li Qitian's temperament, the matter would be resolved within two days, but he did not expect that he would take 280,000 people and wait in front of the city gate for three days.

Three days is not a long time, but the camp of 280,000 people is so huge, and the food they bring will not last a day sooner or later.

"The will of the Holy One has not yet been given, and it seems that this king is going to urge it." He frowned in thought.

"I don't know what the saint thinks, when the war is tight, there are reinforcements but they don't move, they don't give us orders, and they don't pay our soldiers, so let so many of us wait here, what does it mean!" Huzi was already full of unhappiness.

If the Partial Life Saint did not make an order, the prince ordered them to be stationed in the same place, not to enter the city, and not to contact Ji Zeyu in private.

Xiao Xiao didn't want to give people a reason to suspect Ji Zeyu, so as not to let people with a heart see that they secretly contacted and conspired to design the saint.

But no one understands Ji Zeyu's dilemma better at the moment.

The army of King Qinqin has its own commander and its own thoughts, and not everyone who comes to the king of Qin is dedicated to the holy, and most people have plans. If it is such a complicated human heart, it will be enough, and what is more important is that the food is insufficient.

When soldiers fight, they can't eat enough, and the complaints in the hearts of the soldiers will only accumulate more and more deeply. Faced with the pressure of the Tatar army on the battlefield, if they retreated, it would be the people in the capital who fell.

Under such oppression, what should Ji Zeyu do?

He needed reinforcements, food and grass, but the saints didn't agree.

These days, not only the people who came with the Pingnan Army have doubts in their hearts, but also the Tiger Ben Army guarding the north gate.

The wounded soldiers on the battlefield had to be carried back to the city to recuperate, and their situation would affect the mood of the people in the city to some extent, but after a long period of suppression, the saints refused to act, and even the people are now complaining.

Xiao Xiao smiled comfortingly: "The decision that the Holy Lord has to make is related to his fate in his opinion, and it is very difficult to make a choice, so we don't have to be too anxious, the will is only in these two days." ”

If it drags on any longer, I'm afraid that if I don't wait for Xiao Xiao to bring people into the city, the people of the capital will also make a fuss.

As Xiao Xiao said, the next day, the will of the Son of Heaven was sent to the Pingnan Army barracks.

Xiong Jinshui made a bitter face, and his iron-gray sunflower shirt was blown up by a sudden spring breeze, and he was already in a cold sweat, and he suddenly shivered at this time.

After a short time, I saw Xiao Xiao leading several generals to ride horses from the almost boundless military camp.

When he got closer, he turned over and jumped in a dashing manner, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law Xiong." But what does the Holy One command? ”

"yes!" Commander Feng raised his voice and asked loudly, "Is the Holy Lord going to order us to fight the Tartars?" ”

Xiong Jinshui swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and unfolded the holy decree, "Prince Zhongshun takes the decree!" ”

"The minister is here." He led everyone to kneel in unison.

"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Order Prince Zhongshun to lead the Pingnan army, detour through the capital, take the Jiashao Valley, outflank the Tatars from the rear, and annihilate the Tatars with the Tiger Ben army before and after, Qin this!"

Xiong Jinshui's slightly shrill voice spread in the wind, and everyone listening to it was stunned.

Before he could speak, Commander Feng had already jumped three feet high: "What? The capital is in front of you, and when you open the city gate, the brothers can rush over directly to fight to the death with the Tartars, why do you want me to wait for a detour? ”

"That's right! We marched back from afar, in order to relieve the siege of the capital, now it's good, we have arrived, we have been hanging for so many days, and now the city gate does not allow us to enter, let us detour! What is outflanking from the rear, and when we bypass the Jiashao Valley, what if the Tartars have already entered the capital! Huzi also yelled angrily.

For a while, the whole barracks was excited, Xiong Jinshui listened to the roars of these people, and almost felt that he might be caught by these people and twisted off his head to kick as a ball.
