After Yan Guogong heard this, he didn't say anything. Instead, he was still standing outside the county seat of Maoxian, looking at the front fixedly, as silent as an old monk.

But if there are careful people, they can find that when they heard the news that Maoxian was slaughtered by the Northern Desert thieves for three days just now, the old Guogong's face twitched slightly to almost undetectable.

Not to mention the pain and hatred in the heart of the old prince at this time!

Seeing that the camp was settled, the sergeants had already begun to bury the pot and make food. As the smoke rose into the air, Yan Guogong Lutan took a deep breath. "Let's go, let's have dinner and discuss the military tent!"

In the middle of the night, in Yan Guogong's barracks, the camp door was slightly open. Bands of soldiers came out side by side, swords sheathed, horses bound to feet.

"Old Guogong's plan is really a clever strategy, as long as we can catch up with the Northern Desert reinforcements coming from Yongcheng and Baiguan tonight, so that Guogong can easily take Weizhou County, that side is equivalent to our Western Qin has a foothold in Weizhou again!" The old general Zhou Yao and the two partial generals whispered, and kept whispering urging the soldiers to speed up the pace of leaving the camp.

When all the 6,000 soldiers were under the leadership of General Zhou Yao, under the cover of night, their figures disappeared into the night sky. Yan Guogong's barracks was also closed again at the same time, and there was no other action except for the campfire in the camp and the soldiers who kept walking around on patrol.

On the second day, the army arrived on time and joined forces with Yan Guogong, who had camped the day earlier. There are nearly 40,000 people in total, in addition to the people who came out of the camp by night last night, there are also the troops that need to be left to maintain stability in the land of payment during this time, and now there are less than 40,000 troops available under the Duke of Yan Guo!

Looking at these old colleagues standing in the camp tent at this moment, Yan Guogong said with a little fatigue: "Now we are not far from the county seat of Weizhou, and after the recent battles with the Northern Desert, we can also say that we have recovered some of the lost territory. But there is not a safe city for us to garrison. I intend to use the county town of Weizhou as a garrison to facilitate a protracted battle with the Northern Desert Wolf Cavalry. โ€

The meaning of Yan Guogong's words is obvious, and everyone here also feels that if they can collect and pay the county town of Weizhou, relying on the strength of the city wall, it is indeed a stronghold that can be attacked by the Northern Desert for a long time.

But the problem is that it is not easy to capture the county town of Weizhou at this moment.

Seeing that there was no opposition on the left and right, Yan Guogong said again: "Before, I sent General Zhou Yao out of the camp in the middle of the night, so that he lurked between Weizhou County and Yongcheng, once Weizhou County was attacked, Beimo would definitely send troops to rescue from those two places." At that time, Zhou Yao will intercept and kill halfway, and he will not wait for us to delay time, so as to capture the county seat.

However, it is inevitable that the Northern Desert will be prepared in advance, so after tonight, we will also take advantage of the night to go out of the camp. Give up all the heavy baggage, all lightly dressed, and strive for tomorrow when the sky is bright, and feel that the county town is ...... Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? โ€

After Yan Guogong Lu finished speaking, he asked again what the other veterans in the camp meant. Although he felt that his strategy was more feasible, Yan Guogong also wanted to see if others had any suggestions.

"If you are unprepared, you can get close to the enemy city without the enemy detecting it, but when you see us suddenly appear, it will inevitably make it frightened in vain and its combat strength damaged!"

"The last will be useful for this strategy, but if you give up all your baggage, is it too inappropriate?"

"The plan of the state is not bad. We have been fighting with the Northern Desert for several days, and the soldiers are all tired. However, there has been no relatively strong town for rest and rest, so many soldiers have been exhausted, if they can take Weizhou County as a stronghold, they will be able to let the sergeants rest and recover their combat strength! โ€

and so on, Yan Guogong re-agreed on the plan after considering it one by one, and then let the generals disperse separately and prepare for tonight's action!

With the return of several Gaojie battle reports from the Duke of Yan to the imperial capital, the Western Qin Emperor Ling Qian, who was angered by the news that Weizhou was captured by the Northern Desert for a while, also dissipated a lot of anger in his heart.

And as the good news came to Weizhou gradually, Ling Qian also began to gradually prepare to thoroughly investigate the reasons why Weizhou was completely captured in January.

King Yu naturally knew the news for the first time, and he was in a panic in the palace for a while. But he didn't dare to make any big moves, and he was exposed faster.

At this time, in the Antian Palace, the Western Qin Emperor, who was discussing state affairs with his ministers, as well as the military situation in Weizhou and Chizhou, suddenly entered the palace with Kan Min, the grain supervisor. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty. The news has just been transmitted that the military rations that were transported to Weizhou for the war between Yan Guogong and the Northern Desert were sunk in the river due to the poor management of the grain pressers when they passed through the junction of Zhongzhou and Pingzhou...... This, this is afraid of-"

"Bang-"

Hearing this, Ling Qian took a breath and stopped his chest, and directly swept away the folds and inkstone brushes on the dragon case with a wave of his hand. "Waste, what are you doing as a grain overseer? If you don't go by land, why do you have to take the waterway? Come on! Drag this idiot out and chop it for me! โ€

The emperor was furious, and the Antian Hall was silent for a while. No one dared to stand up and plead for Kan Min, the food supervisor, after all, it was the military rations that sank to the bottom of the river that were about to be used at the border pass.

The guards on duty outside the hall quickly walked into the hall when they heard the sound and pressed and tied Kan Min, and then dragged them out of the hall. saw Kan Min struggling and kept shouting for injustice. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty's ministers still have something to do, and I hope Your Majesty will be gracious, gracious!"

"Slow down, Lord Kan Min, you have neglected and neglected your guards, and your improper use of personnel has caused the military rations to sink to the bottom of the river, and the tired soldiers in front have no food to eat. What else is there to say now, and what else needs to be said to your majesty? Ling Xuanyi suddenly noticed that Kan Min's eyes were always glancing towards the prince, so he secretly became suspicious in his heart, so he suddenly stopped the guard on duty and asked Kan Min.

Seeing Ling Xuanyi standing up and asking, the guards on duty also stopped dragging Kan Min out one after another, allowing him to be tied up and standing next to the door of An Tiandian to speak.

Kan Min didn't care about the tears and snot hanging on his face, and took a few breaths before he knelt on the ground and choked up: "Your Majesty allows the ministers to play, and the ministers originally arranged to go by land." However, he was forced by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take the waterway to Weizhou this time, and the person used was not the grain presser originally arranged by the minister. The minister is really, he is really wronged! โ€

Ling Qian couldn't react anymore, standing in front of the dragon chair, waiting for Kan Min to explain the matter clearly, Ling Qian slowly turned his head to look at the prince in disbelief.

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty also looked at the prince with their stomachs. Especially those people in the prince's party, their faces are already iron-clad and green.

The pillars of Ling Xuanyi's faction, or the noble old ministers, sighed and complained in a low voice about the prince's troubles.

At this moment, Ling Xuanyi was the only one who did not sigh and sigh, nor did he angrily accuse the prince of making a mistake. But after listening to Kan Min's words, he hurriedly stood up and played: "Your Majesty is not the time to investigate who is right and wrong at this time, Weizhou Yanguo is in need of military rations, so it is necessary to raise new grain and grass as soon as possible and send it to the Yanguo army as soon as possible!" โ€

"Your Majesty, what the prince of Zhaojun said is very true, as for the prince's negligence, he will be punished in the future. At the moment, the battle ahead is still important! Zuo Xiang took the lead and led the ministers to advise, he was really not in the mood to fight with the prince and his gang. If this batch of grain and grass cannot be transported to the Yanguo Gong military camp in time, I am afraid that there will be a danger of running out of food over there.

When Emperor Ling Qian of Western Qin heard this, he suppressed the anger in his heart. Squinted his eyes and glanced coldly at Ling Han, the Son of Heaven, and then asked Zuo Xiang to raise military rations as soon as possible, open the treasury, and exchange silver money with the merchants who operated grain and grass in the imperial capital.

After the Zuo Prime Minister received the order, he did not stay longer, but quickly retreated from the palace first, preparing to discuss the matter of raising grain with the big merchants in the imperial capital.

After the troubles caused by this wave of princes were dealt with, Emperor Xiqin turned his head again and prepared to clean up the prince.

And Ling Han knelt at the foot of the jade steps early in the morning, covered in cold sweat, and beads of sweat were dripping down his forehead from time to time. The person was almost like the water conservancy, soaking wet, and the slightly trembling body......

"Go down, go back and reflect on yourself. I'm very disappointed in you, go down! Ling Qian looked at the prince kneeling on the ground at this moment, and he didn't know how to reprimand. There is heartache, but also regret and disappointment.

Since he was a child, he has been made the crown prince, and he has always hoped that Ling Han can afford the Western Qin in the future, but after so many years. What I have learned is only short-sighted, narrow-minded, and never have deep insight and long-term vision when encountering things, and will only be jealous and suspicious.

Especially the prince of Hezhaojun, who was supposed to be a close brother, but the prince made a stalemate between the two. After several years of grudges, both sides have become the same situation, even if he is a father, no matter how much he tries to make up for it, he can't change the certainty.

Especially around the crown prince, all the officials he likes and uses around him. It can be said that they are all in name only, they will only pat the horse in the wind, and flatter the people who welcome them, it can be seen that they have no talent to know people at all, if they hand over this Western Qin to the prince in the future, are they really at ease?

This is also the biggest doubt in the heart of the Western Qin Emperor at this moment, and it is also the biggest worry. More and more disappointed and heartbroken, Ling Qian, the Emperor of Western Qin, had already risen a trace of intention in his heart, but he was bound by the love of father and son, and he couldn't bear to make up his mind!

"Erchen, Erchen knows his mistakes, and I hope that my father will forgive my sons. It's really ...... this time."

"That's enough, stand down. I don't want to listen to your explanation, go back and think about it, you've disappointed me so much! Ignoring Ling Han's explanation, Emperor Western Qin slowly closed his eyes and forced the crown prince to withdraw from the Antian Palace.

Ling Han lowered his head in horror and bowed down and withdrew from the Antian Palace.

But when Emperor Xi Qin looked at him, the hidden meaning was still captured by him at all. What especially frightened Ling Han was that the sharp glint that flashed in his father's eyes made Ling Han faintly feel the taste of something that was about to be lost, and it was also what he was most afraid of losing.

Back at the Prince's Mansion, Ling Han was still in that panic. Even Lu Bin and some courtiers hurried over and entered the hall, but Ling Han didn't notice it.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Lu Bin looked at Ling Han, who was sitting in a daze on the top chair, and asked expressionlessly.

"Huh? I ......" Ling Han looked at Lu Bin, speechless for a while.

The hall was silent for a while, only to see that Ling Han's face gradually recovered some blood.

"Your Highness, is there anything in your heart that you can't figure out, and are you panicking about something?" Lu Bin still looked expressionless, but in his words, he asked with a little untraceable interest.
