Chapter 159: Rendezvous
The strongest.,The fastest update of the cold wife: the queen mother is difficult for the latest chapter!
Sure enough, the third prince still didn't arrive in the capital on the day of his return, although there were many people, it was slower than Princess Qiu Yu's party, but they had been there for three days, how could the three princes have arrived, since there was no letter at all, it must have been an ambush by the second prince.
Mo Zhi should not have done it yet, because he has no manpower, and he does not have the ability to stop the army of the third prince, and the crown prince has no way to report to the emperor to borrow troops for this kind of thing, otherwise the emperor will definitely ask them how they know, and it will be them who will be suspicious when the time comes.
But after some discussion, they finally decided to inform the three princes in advance, that is, to save the three princes.
Although the third prince is also a competitor of the crown prince, the prince is not as vicious as the second prince after all, as long as this matter goes well, the second prince basically will not have a chance, and this time he saved the life of the third prince, which means that he owes the prince a favor.
Of course, if the third prince is a vicious and affectionate person, then this favor is not valuable, but the third prince has basically been addicted to martial arts since he was a child, and he is much more upright than Guan Qin, and the prince also feels that the third prince has a very strong ability to lead troops to fight, and the two countries have just ceased war, and the troops have been greatly damaged.
The capital was very peaceful during this time, and the second prince was taken down by Qin Lie, and he was not as angry and eager to retaliate as before, nor did he trouble An Xian again, but this also indicates that his entire focus is on the side of the third prince.
"Haven't they heard from you yet?" An Xian went to ask Si Lu almost every day, after all, it was a collision of thousands of people, and she was still afraid of what happened.
"He won't be there." Si Lu soothed: "It should only be these two days, and I will come back directly." ”
"How do you know?" An Xian was a little surprised.
"Because Zhao Yu's family has been sent here."
"Really?" An Xian was overjoyed: "Mo Zhi has already sent someone to rescue them?" ”
Si Lu nodded: "After he saved people, he took people to meet the army of the third prince, I don't know if he can arrive before the second prince makes a move, but no matter whether he arrives or not, he will do it in the next day or two at the latest." ”
"On this way, most of them are town fairs, and there are not many places that can accommodate so many people to do it, according to the distance, if you don't do it in the past two days, the third prince will be able to go to the county, and in the future, there will be no empty place for him to do it."
Si Lu's expectation was good, Mo Zhi delayed for a few days because he needed to save people first, and after saving people and sending his subordinates to escort his family, he took more than ten people to find the third prince quickly.
Finally, in a forest hundreds of miles outside the county, I saw the army of the three princes, it was already dusk, and the army had already set up camp to prepare for cooking and resting, and there were soldiers around to guard.
More than a dozen of them rode horses, which were naturally conspicuous, and the sentry immediately shouted: "Who? ”
Mo Zhi stopped his horse: "In front of the army of the three princes?" ”
"Yes, who are you?"
Mo Zhi took out the token given to him by the prince: "We are the people of His Royal Highness the Prince, and we have been ordered to find the third prince to discuss something." ”
The sentry immediately became serious, took the token and looked at it: "Wait." "Take the token and go back to your life.
After a while, the sentry trotted over again: "The third prince is invited." ”
Mo Zhi asked the other people to wait, so as not to worry about the three princes, and followed the sentry to see the three princes.
This is also the first time Mo Zhi has seen Guan Yan, he really looks like a general, wearing a military uniform, with a sturdy figure and slightly dark skin, looking very imposing, seeing Mo Zhi and curious: "You are the emperor's brother's person?" Why haven't you seen it? ”
Mo made a salute and replied: "I used to follow Si Lu's side to do things, so the third prince has never seen it." ”
Of course, Si Lu Guanyan knew, and nodded: "I don't know what's the matter, Brother Huang is so in such a hurry to let people find me?" I went back in a few days. ”
"It's really late when I go back, not only in a hurry, but also in a hurry."
Guan Yan was curious: "Oh? But what happened in the capital? ”
Mo Zhi was just about to speak, but suddenly turned his head to look at the other people in the tent, Guan Yan raised his eyebrows and waved his hand: "You guys go out first!" ”
One of the guards said uneasily: "General... Let's keep a few people! ”
Mo Zhi was neither humble nor arrogant: "This time our Dayao is at a disadvantage, but the three princes have to withdraw from the army to sue for peace in less than three months, it can be seen that the kung fu and strategy of the three princes, although I also have some skills, but I still think it is impossible to win against the three princes, not to mention that if His Royal Highness harms the prince in the truth, he will not be so stupid to name his identity to harm others!" ”
Mo Zhi's face was upright, and what he said was reasonable, Guan Yan nodded: "Okay, Ben will naturally weigh it up, go down." ”
Everyone had no choice but to retreat, and Mo Zhi said: "I think that from tonight onwards, the third prince should let his subordinates strengthen their vigilance and increase patrols." ”
Guan Yan was puzzled: "Why?" This is my country, there are 3,000 troops here, no matter what kind of bandits are reckless, there is no need to be afraid. ”
Mo Zhi shook his head: "The Three Princes don't know, if it is a local officer or a bandit robber, of course it is not enough to see in front of the Three Princes' three thousand troops, and they don't dare to make a mistake, but what if there is a soldier and horse that is better than the Three Princes' army?" ”
Guan Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth: "How is it possible?" Unless it's the guards of my father's capital, it's impossible for my father to be transferred to deal with me! ”
"Then let's put it bluntly, in fact, His Royal Highness caught an undercover agent sent by the second prince, according to his confession, under the second prince, there is an army of far more than 3,000 people!"
Guan Yan's face suddenly changed: "Second Emperor Brother? How is it possible, he has no military power, how can he have an army? ”
"Of course everyone doesn't know, because it is the second prince who privately recruits troops, and his intentions are self-evident."
Guan Yan still didn't believe it: "How is it possible, such a shrewd person as the second emperor brother would be so confused?" It's a great crime to cut off your head! ”
"But the ambition of the second prince and the third prince also understand, right? The emperor has already crowned His Royal Highness as the crown prince, and the chances of the second prince are much smaller, but what he did was obviously unwilling, so he naturally had to find another way, and when necessary, take special measures. ”
"What evidence do you have? How did Ben know that it wasn't the royal brother who sowed discord? Framing the Second Emperor Brother? Guan Yan asked.
"If it really sows discord, this method is too inferior, after all, if the second prince can't see this army, won't he believe it?" Mo Zhi continued: "It is precisely because he knows the existence of this army that His Royal Highness does not want the third prince to be in danger, let alone let the second prince's conspiracy succeed, so he sent Zai to remind him." ”
"Then tell me, the army of the second emperor brother should be used against the imperial brother, why did he come to attack me?"
"It's very simple, first, if you kill the three princes, it can be said that there is one less one to fight for the throne, because the three princes have just made great achievements and hold the military power, and now they are an opponent not inferior to the prince, and second, you can blame Qiu Yu, saying that this is Qiu Yu's soldiers and horses secretly ambushed in Da Yao, and it is Qiu Yu who harmed you, then the emperor must be furious, and he will fight with Qiu Yu again, and after you are not there, it is self-evident who will fall into the hands of this military power, right?"
Guan Yan took a deep breath, twisted his eyebrows and pondered Mo Zhi's words, indeed, there was nothing wrong with what he said, what he couldn't believe now was, did Guan Qin really dare to raise an army privately?
Mo Zhi seemed to know what Guan Yan was suspicious of, and said: "The second prince doesn't have to worry about it, he just needs to strengthen his vigilance, if it is really safe and sound, isn't there nothing to lose?" But if what is said below is true, because of negligence, the gains outweigh the losses. ”
Guan Yan nodded, it is a matter of his life, it is indeed better to believe it than to believe it, and it is not a bad thing to have multiple eyes.
"Well, I'll trust you for now, but do you know when they're going to do it?"
Mo Zhi replied: "Because the third prince has just rushed back from Biansai, there are few towns along the way, and the population is sparse, but if you walk for another day or two, you will arrive at the county, and then there will be towns all the way, and it will be very difficult for tens of thousands of people to do it, so if nothing else, it will not take more than two days, before the county arrives, it will come." ”
Guan Yan slapped the table: "Okay!" Let's see if there is such an army to attack in the past two days, if not, don't blame Ben for telling his father and brother about the emperor! ”
