"Wang Zhaoyuan, are you willing to lead the troops to the Sword Gate for reinforcements?" Meng Chang had no choice but to ask by name.

Wang Zhaoyuan is a general of Shu State, born in Jiangmen, and he also made meritorious achievements when he was young, but he has not fought for many years, and he has long lost his former edge like Meng Chang.

At this time, he was named, so he had to go to the hall and kneel, "The minister is willing to lead the troops to go and swear to defend the sword gate." Even though he said this, he was reluctant to hear it.

Yi Xiechen glanced at Meng Chang obliquely, and said sarcastically: "What is needed now is to boost morale, and the people of Shu don't want the country to be ruined." If you can drive the expedition in person, you will definitely be able to shake the military prestige and get the support of the whole country. The people's hearts are stable, the terrain helps each other, and no matter how strong the Song army is, it is not easy to break through. Is the emperor willing? ”

Meng Chang was suddenly frightened when he heard this, and said in a panic: "I ...... I haven't wielded a knife or a gun for many years...... Even horseback riding was almost forgotten. How to pro-enlist? ”

Prime Minister Li Hao is the best at welcoming the Sacred Heart, and hurriedly echoed and said: "The emperor can't do it in person." A kingdom shall not be without a king for a day. The emperor is not in the court, and no one is in charge of the court, absolutely not. ”

Meng Chang nodded hurriedly, his eyes full of approval.

"Then the crown prince will take the place of the emperor and recruit in person. Boost morale, if the crown prince and Wang Zhaoyuan can work together and lead the troops properly, there is still a glimmer of hope to resist the Song army. But if the two of you don't work together and don't have the determination to protect the country desperately, Luo Shenxian will not be able to save Shu that day. Yi Xiechen said coldly.

Meng Chang hurriedly echoed and said, "Yes, then the emperor, you will do it for your father." Be sure to stick to the Sword Gate. ”

The always low-key prince Meng Xuanzhe is the son of Meng Chang and Zhang Taihua, the two were still young and affectionate when they were born, even if the newborn eldest son was established, as the prince.

But later, Zhang Taihua died bizarrely, and Meng Chang became more and more unkind to see him.

Originally, there was an idea of deposing the crown prince, but because Concubine Xu Hui had not given birth to an heir, it had not been implemented.

And Meng Xuanzhe was undisciplined, never practiced martial arts, and was used to being arrogant and lascivious, but now when he heard that he was going on the expedition, he was terrified.

But when I think about the fierce competition among many princes, the position of the crown prince would have been in jeopardy if it were not supported by the old ministers of the court. This is a rare opportunity to get ahead, and if you refuse, I'm afraid my father will have an excuse to depose himself.

What's more, Jianmen has sent heavy troops from Shu State, and the general Wang Zhaoyuan is going with him, if this is defeated, it can also consolidate the position of the prince.

Meng Xuanzhe thought of this, the young man's blood and qi were strong, he had never experienced tempering, he didn't know what a cruel battlefield was, and he strode forward and knelt down.

Said heroically: "Erchen is willing to lead troops to go out to reinforce the Sword Gate, and swear to defend the Sword Gate." ”

"Good!" Meng Chang stood up excitedly, "The emperor really has the demeanor and courage of my day. He is worthy of being the prince of Shu. Hahaha......"

Meng Xuanzhe was praised and affirmed by his father for the first time in so many years, and he was so excited and excited that he almost cried with gratitude.

Everyone in the hall saw that the candidates for the expedition had been discussed, and the rest of the people were also relieved, and everyone began to discuss the specific matters of the expedition excitedly.

One by one, they are actively speaking, with a posture of worrying about the country and the people.

He was really bored with the faces of a group of monarchs and ministers, so he ignored these people and walked out of the hall on his own.

Xuanwu and Suzaku followed.

Xuanwu couldn't help but ask: "Childe, if you send the crown prince and Wang Zhao away, can you really resist the Song army?" ”

The clouds in the sky were erratic, changing endlessly, gathering and scattering for a while, and it was still a huge cloud in the distance, but it was divided into several pieces when it came closer.

Just like this uncertain troubled world, divided and combined, big fish eat small fish, who must be sure?

The look in his eyes was unfathomable, and there was regret and regret.

Shu State, operating for many years, this fertile field provides him with a lot of needs, I thought that I would fatten only when the time comes to harvest, but I never thought that people are not as good as the sky.

I can't eat Shu because of my current identity, and I have a lot of helplessness.

Timing is the most important thing, and if you give him some more time, you won't give it away.

But now I can only watch the Song Kingdom grow bigger day by day, and the pigs that I fatten will be slaughtered by others, and I don't know how much it will cost to take them back.

He closed his eyes, feeling very irritable, "There is no one to send in Shu. This is the last chance. Whether they succeed or not depends on themselves. ”

When he came back from Zhengyang Palace, he had been in the study.

Suzaku came in with a delicate meal, barely moving.

In front of a sand table, he looked at it quietly for a long time, but in his heart he was deducing the entire process of the Song army's attack on Shu.

According to the speed and strategy of the Song army this time, it was found that the Song army was well aware of the deployment of troops and the situation of mountains and rivers in Shu. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to deploy so quickly and properly.

Could it be that Shu is out of the point? Or has Zhao Kuangyin already sent someone to Shu to inquire in detail?

But to be able to find out so clearly, there must be someone who is very familiar with Shu Kingdom, or someone who guides him.

Recalling the Song army's attack on Yangzhou, he also experienced it himself.

Li Chongjin was so familiar with the generals who fought and defended the city, and Zhao Ting entered the city without knowing it.

There are some similarities with this attack on Shu.

Is it the news that Zhao Ting personally heard, or is there someone to help?

Could it be that Zhao Ting has such a huge intelligence network and detection capabilities?

Red kite!

This name popped up in my mind, could it be the Yun family? Is it possible?

Yi Xiechen frowned deeply and looked out the window.

It was already in the middle of the moon, the moon was full and big, and the whole Xiahui Palace was snow-white, like day.

Several trees in the courtyard had already fallen off their yellow leaves, and a few birds stopped at this time, and the moonlight was extremely bleak.

Because Xiahui Palace is the exclusive palace of Yi Xiechen, although he can't come for a few days a year, this is the only place in the entire palace where flowers and plants can not be planted, especially the hibiscus tree.

Therefore, Xiahui Palace gives people the feeling of being cold and quiet.

At this moment, tonight, the night of the full moon...... It's especially cold.

"Suzaku!" He shouted, suddenly wondering what Yun Moxi was doing, but he rested.

One person pushed the door in, but it was not Suzaku, but Xuanwu.

"What do you command?"

"Where's Suzaku?"

She went out with Miss Yun. Oh, I just wanted to walk around the palace. ”

"What is she doing out so late?" His face suddenly gloomy.

"The subordinates didn't agree at first, but seeing that Suzaku and Ligu were with them, they didn't want to go wrong in the palace, but I didn't expect them to go and still haven't come back."

He stood up and strode out without saying a word.

Xuanwu secretly regretted that if something happened again, he was afraid that he would not be able to save his life this time, so he hurriedly chased him out.

********

Yun Moxi took Ligu and Suzaku with him. Wearing black clothes, he walked out of the Xiahui Palace as soon as it was dark.

There are Suzaku here, and there are tokens, so walking around the palace, no one dares to check it.

Especially tonight - the night of the full moon of the fifteenth.

There was already a curfew in the city, and no movement was allowed in the palace.

So the three of them walked all the way without meeting anyone.

Entering the territory of the old palace, there are no even patrolling forbidden guards.

The silent and dark abandoned palace was layered on top of each other, with only the slight footsteps of the three people.

The shadow behind him was stretched by the slender moonlight.

"Meow meow ......" A cry like a baby suddenly came from a distance. Yun Moxi held Ligu's hand tightly, followed the sound, and a black wild cat sprang out of the roof, glared at the three of them, and ran away with a strange scream.

Secretly relieved, he continued to walk forward.
