Jiang Feng explained: "These words of contempt for the king, Lord Qian must not talk nonsense, the guards with knives have always been the emperor's most loyal courtiers, and they are also the most trusted courtiers of the emperor, this will not change, and it will never change." ”

"That ......"

"The problem is one person, have you ever heard of the Eighteen Sage Kings?" This time it was Liu Shijun who spoke.

Eighteen Wise Kings? Qian Yu seems to have heard of a man named the Eight Sages King in a romance novel, who received the salaries of the eight princes. Is this Eighteen Sage Kings an upgraded version of the Eight Sage Kings?

Knowing that Qian Yu didn't understand, Liu Shijun explained: "The Eighteen Sage Kings, like the current emperor, are the sons of the former emperor, and compared with the emperor, the Eighteen Sage Kings are more favored by the first emperor.

According to the rules of Dahua, the emperor rewarded his children, except for the crown prince, each person only had a fief at most, but the emperor set a historical precedent and gave eighteen pieces at once, plus this prince was quite virtuous in the hearts of the people of Dahua, so he had the title of eighteen sage kings.

Qian Yu was stunned, the leader of the Dahua fief had extremely high autonomy over the fief under his jurisdiction, especially the military force, which was almost his own private army.

No matter what country, the army with the strongest combat effectiveness will always be at the border, whether it is the division of the heroes in the Three Kingdoms period, or the chaos of the Tang Dynasty, it is inseparable from the figure of the warriors, otherwise the emperor of the Song Dynasty would not vigorously advocate "half of the treatise to rule the world".

Military power is always the main force that destroys the stability of the country, and a prince holds the control of a country's army, what is this concept?

Think about it, when Zhu Di, the king of Yan, succeeded in rebelling with only one fief, doesn't it mean that if the eighteen sage kings want to rebel, with just one order, half of Dahua will be split?

Qian Yu couldn't figure out the old emperor's original intentions, if you want to pass on the throne to your favorite son, just issue an edict, why bother so much? How much do you want this country to be in chaos?

Then, Qian Yu thought of a more realistic question: "So, Datong Terracotta is also a person of the Eighteen Virtuous Kings?" ”

Liu Shijun said: "Dahua's army is mainly divided into three series, one is the Imperial Forest Army of the Gongwei Beijing Division, the second is the border army stationed in the frontier, and the third is the standing force that each state capital has, that is, the Soldiers and Horses. ”

Glancing at Qian Yu, he explained: "The Imperial Forest Army is under the command of the emperor, and the border army is under the jurisdiction of the Eighteen Sage Kings. ”

Liu Shijun's previous words just gave Qian Yu hope, and then he doused it with a basin of cold water, big brother, can you finish your words in one breath?

"So, the arrival of that Lord Cao has made it even worse for us?"

Liu Shijun shook his head: "Not necessarily, the Datong Soldiers and Horses Division is my Dahua's army in the end, even if they are bold, they dare not risk the world's greatness, and openly treason and collaborate with the enemy, but the other party must guard against making us a small stumbling block." ”

Qian Yu suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked a key place, that is, the relationship between the Eighteen Sages and the emperor, if it was really as Liu Shijun said, the Eighteen Sages had the strength to split the Great China, he should have acted a long time ago, right?

You must know that life is only a few decades, the further you drag it out, the less time you have to be the master of the house, and when you are seventy or eighty, even if you succeed in rebellion and become the emperor, what is the use?

He asked the question in his heart, Liu Shijun looked in the direction of the capital, but didn't know what to say.

It wasn't until Qian Yu asked again and again that he tried to organize his own language: "The emperor and the eighteen virtuous kings are harmonious on the surface, they have worked hard and hard for Dahua, and under their governance, the people live a prosperous life and live and work in peace and contentment......"

Qian Yuhan said: "Big brother, I'm asking you about the relationship between the two bosses, not for you to talk big, empty and clichéd." ”

Liu Shijun......

Although his top boss is a little crooked, Qian Yu still heard some problems from it, especially the word 'surface', which is a harmonious atmosphere on the surface, which means that the two of them fight openly and secretly in private, and it often happens that they fall into each other's hands.

Qian Yu wanted to ask more detailed, but Liu Shijun thought that the Venerable was an excuse and didn't want to talk about those things about the Dahua royal family, so he didn't ask anymore.

Now he only hopes that the Hu people can continue to maintain the harassing temptation like they did a few days ago, so that he can rely on the strong Qingfeng county town to wait for the reinforcements that Liu Shijun said.

In today's Qingfeng County, there is the most shortage of soldiers who are good at fighting, not much, as long as there are 5,000 more people, Qian Yu believes that not to mention that the Hu people have an army of 100,000, even if they are a million heroes, they will not want to penetrate the fortress they designed.

*******

In this world, the more you don't want it, the faster it comes.

Early the next morning, when Qian Yu stood on the city wall and looked at the dense army of Hu people opposite, his heart was directly half cold!

Because in front of the Hu army, there are no less than twenty towers alone, and the ladders are even denser, and there are countless ones, looking at this posture, the commander of the other party should plan to change the previous temptation and finish the battle.

The worst thing is that after the guards who have finally had a sense of battle in the past few days, their morale dropped directly to the freezing point when they saw the opponent's battle.

Bai Jingfei hid behind Qian Yu and whispered: "Brother Qian, the Hu people are going to be ruthless this time, or let's abandon the city and run away, go to Datong, rest assured, when you arrive at Datong Mansion, my son will eat, drink, and play with you, so that you will be happy." ”

The current Qian Yu is almost the commander-in-chief of the defense of Qingfeng County, as long as he says a word, Bao Xiren's order not to allow him to leave is a dead letter, so he is hurrying to hug someone's thigh.

It's just that no matter how small Ren Bai Jingfei's voice is, it can't compete with the silence of the surrounding needles, including Qian Yu, all the soldiers within a radius of ten zhang can hear it clearly, if it weren't for the fact that this thing often talks about escaping, maybe the army's heart must be in chaos now.

Qian Yu looked at him angrily, at this moment, he knew that if he didn't say something, it was estimated that without the Hu people attacking, this side would already be defeated.

Taking a deep breath, Qian Yu turned around, looked at the pale faces in front of him, and suddenly asked loudly, "Are you afraid?" ”

The guards were stunned for a moment, and then thought to themselves, aren't you talking nonsense, in the face of the 100,000 army that has set up a battle formation, even the most nervous guy has to shake his heart twice, right?

No one answered Qian Yu, but Qian Yu smiled: "Don't say it? Still embarrassed to say? Then I'll tell you how I feel, I'm scared.

That's right, you heard me right, I'm really scared, maybe you think that as the commander of the battle array, I should show a fearless spirit and determination to live and die with Qingfeng County. But I don't want to say that, fear is fear, why duplicity? ”

The guards were really stupid now, and some of the old load-bearing ones frowned.

As a leader, is it really appropriate for you to say that? Some words are known to be false, but in order to encourage the morale of the army, they have to say it hard!

But as the leader, you directly said that you were afraid, and the other brothers also said that they were afraid, so how to fight the next battle?

Among them, the most dumbfounded is Liu Shijun, he is extremely suspicious that Qian Yu is frightened and crazy?

However, Qian Yu's next words turned around in an instant.
