Dahan Jingshi, in the inner courtyard of the palace, an inner attendant hurriedly rushed to the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, the northern camp is eight hundred miles to expedite the paperwork."

"The three Shangshu, the Marshal of the Ancient Dao Beard and the Prince met with each other."

Half an hour later, the four important ministers of the dynasty and Liu Zhengqi, the prince of the East Palace, gathered in the imperial study.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you know what happened to my minister's summons?" Emperor Han Xian asked.

Although it has only been more than a year, Emperor Han Xian is already a little old. In the past year, he has lived a very unstable life, since he learned that the Xiongnu and Caesar combined forces and intended to plot the territory of the Han Dynasty, he has been troubled and depressed.

Everyone looked at each other and remained silent. How well-informed the four great families are, as soon as the urgent documents from the northern camp arrived in Jingshi, they had already gotten the news through different channels. Although I don't know what the content is, it is not a good thing to think about it, otherwise Emperor Han Xian would not have summoned them to discuss it in such a hurry.

If there are still people here who don't know the reason, then only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Liu Zhengqi is it.

"The child doesn't know, please let my father make it clear." Liu Zhengqi took a step forward and bowed.

Emperor Han Xian took out a volume of documents, threw it at Fang Lingtian, and said, "The golden wolf army of the Huns has finally started. ”

Fang Lingtian took it casually, spread it out, frowned slightly, and said: "The Huns have already gathered more than 80,000 troops before the northern camp, and there are new reinforcements one after another. Just before January, the banner of the Golden Wolf Army appeared. ”

"The Golden Wolf Army? Then Maudun was planning to storm from the northern battalion. Tang Zonghan took the paperwork, skimmed through it hastily, and said.

Fang Lingtian nodded and said: "The Golden Wolf Army is the most proud army of the Huns, and it is also the trump card army of Shan Yu in the past dynasties, on the prairie, no army has ever dared to pretend to be their banner. Since even they have been dispatched, it means that Maudun has already gone to the front line in person, and if I don't wait to deal with it sooner, the northern battalion will ...... Dangerous. ”

"Fang Shangshu, do you mean to send reinforcements?" Liu Zhengqi's gaze lifted from the document and asked.

"Yes, without further ado, the sooner the better." Fang Lingtian said in a deep voice, the northern battalion is the leading army in the Han army, and it is also the descendant of the Fang family.

"May I ask Lord Shangshu, where are these reinforcements going to be drawn from?" After Gu Dao came in, he remained silent until this moment before he said his first words.

Although his status is respected, it is much inferior to the masters of the three major families that have been inherited for hundreds of years, but he commanded the Western Battalion to fight against the Caesars and showed an unparalleled talent for war.

If it is only about battlefield contingency, even Fang Lingtian privately admitted that he was not as good as Gu Dao Beard, before Xu Haifeng's unexpected rise, Gu Dao Beard was really the first general of the Han Empire, and it was only now that Emperor Han Xian made an exception to let him join the meeting.

Fang Lingtian glanced at him and asked rhetorically, "In the marshal's opinion, where should I be transferred?" ”

Gu Dao thought about it for a while, and then said: "This commander thinks that except for the Western Battalion Sky Eagle Legion, which cannot be transferred, the other three major legions can be transferred. ”

Emperor Han Xian's expression moved slightly, and asked, "The Qing family said in detail. ”

Gu Dao replied: "The minister's decree, in the opinion of the minister, can each transfer 50,000 troops and horses from the Huanglong Legion of the Beijing Division and the Blue Wolf Legion of the Northwest Battalion to the Northern Xinjiang. If there are 200,000 troops hoarding the northern Xinjiang camp, no matter what, they will have the capital to fight the Xiongnu. Moreover, he ordered the Qilin Legion to send 30,000 troops to the north, ready to reinforce at any time. ”

The troops mentioned in his words are all the five major armies, indicating that in his heart, in addition to these five major legions, the rest of the armies are vulnerable in the face of the Huns, so it is better not to mention it.

Everyone present knows this truth.

Although Fang Lingtian and the other three family heads were silent, they were surprised in their hearts. In fact, it has long been not a secret that the Huns have increased their troops to the northern camp.

After the beginning of spring, the Huns began to transfer troops one after another, at first fashionable and sneaky, but later, it was simply blatant. Of course, Fang Lingtian and the others had already discussed the way to deal with it, but after thinking about it for a long time, the conclusion they came to coincided with the countermeasures that Gu Dao Yan casually said at this time.

It's just that they already know about the Cheng family's rebellion, so why did Gu Dao Fu put forward the most reasonable suggestion at the moment?

Liu Zhengqi nodded secretly, took a step forward, and said, "Father, the strategy proposed by Marshal Gu is exactly what the child wants. At the same time, when the Xiongnu invaded the border, Erchen was willing to personally lead the army and go to the north to do his best for his father. ”

"Well...... Emperor Han Xian was relieved, among the many princes, I am afraid that only Liu Zhengqi has such courage and courage.

"No." Su Dongshun immediately objected: "How can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leave the Jingshi lightly. ”

"yes." Fang Lingtian agreed: "Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's visit to the front line has great benefits for boosting morale, it also has a disadvantage. ”

"Oh...... Fang Qing's family said to listen to it. Emperor Han Xian smiled.

"Your Highness's status is respected, if you are in the northern camp, how will the Lord deal with himself?" Fang Lingtian said according to his words.

"Although Fang Shangshu can rest assured, since this palace has joined the army, he should obey his orders, and he will never dare to make his own opinions and disobey the army's orders." Liu Zhengqi swore an oath.

Fang Lingtian shook his head and sighed: "It's not that the old minister is worried that His Highness will disobey orders. ”

Liu Zhengqi was surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Then what is Fang Shangshu worried about?" ”

Fang Lingtian glanced at him, and stopped talking, but there was an unspeakable secret.

Liu Zhengqi was about to urge, when he heard Gu Dao Beard laugh on the side: "Your Highness, Fang Shangshu is worried that if you appear on the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang, it will make it difficult for Commander Fang Lingchen. ”

Seeing that Liu Zhengqi wanted to defend again, he continued to explain: "Because I am worried that His Highness will lose, General Israel is bound to arrange a large number of troops to escort you. On the battlefield, it is changing rapidly, and every military force is extremely valuable. ”

In fact, he still has a layer of meaning that he has not said, if Liu Zhengqi goes to northern Xinjiang, it will inevitably become a burden that cannot be lost, and when the military strength is inferior to the enemy, bringing such a burden will make it even worse.

What's more, if Liu Zhengqi really loses in northern Xinjiang, even if Fang Lingchen wins this war, I am afraid that it will not be worth it.

Of course, Fang Lingtian understood these truths, but the commander of the Northern Xinjiang battalion was his own third brother, so it was not appropriate for these words to come out of his mouth.

"Didn't my father also go to the throne back then? Why didn't you see the marshal stop you? Liu Zhengqi was unconvinced and retorted.

When Gu Dao heard this, he showed a wry smile, and said helplessly: "At that time, I was strong and the enemy was weak, but now the enemy is strong and I am weak, how can I say the same thing." ”

Fang Lingtian and the others sighed, unable to speak.

In the past, the two empires competed, and the Han Dynasty dispatched the strength of the five major armies to keep the territory without losing, and it was still unable to counterattack. Now, the Aquila Legion must be stationed in the west to defend against Caesar's army, so that it cannot move. Without this strong reinforcement, no one dares to say that they can win.

In the heart of Emperor Han Xian, of course, he didn't want his most outstanding son to go to the battlefield in person, and when he heard this, he waved his hand and said: "Okay, it's decided, Fang Qing's family." ”

"The minister is here."

"As far as Marshal Gu is concerned, the specific candidates will be decided by you and others. As for the commander of the reinforcements of the Yellow Dragon Legion, it will be up to ......" He paused slightly, and then made a decision in his heart: "It will be the deputy commander Liu Zhengmin." ”

"Yes, I obey."

Although Liu Zhengqi was unwilling, since the emperor had decided, he had no choice but to give up.

The group bid farewell to Emperor Han Xian, left the palace, Gu Dao left on his own, and the three heads of the family gathered together to discuss privately.

"Brother Fang, do you think the old man's behavior is a little strange?" Tang Zonghan asked suspiciously.

Fang Lingtian snorted and said, "If it weren't for Feng'er who told me the news, and what the Cheng family has done in the past few years is really suspicious, I really can't believe it." ”

"Lao Fang, what the hell do you think they are doing? Could it be ......" Su Dongshun said here, and couldn't help pausing slightly.

"What ......," Tang Zonghan asked.

"In the past ten years, the Cheng family has tried their best to meddle in the affairs of the military department, and Cheng Yinghao has been promoted to the high position of deputy commander of the Blue Wolf Legion, I am worried that the Blue Wolf Legion is unstable." Su Dongshun said hesitantly.

Fang Lingtian and Tang Zonghan glanced at each other, and a chill ran in their hearts, if this is the case, then the Han Empire is really like a candle in the wind, and it is in danger.

"Impossible." Fang Lingtian shook his head and said categorically: "Li Bohu, the commander of the Blue Wolf Legion, is also from a family, has received the emperor's favor in the past generations, and the three of my brothers are like brothers and sisters, and they have fought against the Hun Iron Cavalry together, and they will never do such a traitorous thing to seek glory." ”

"That's the best, but the reinforcement generals of the Blue Wolf Legion should think about it." Tang Zonghan nodded.

"By the way, what's going on on the sea breeze?"

Fang Lingtian knew that Su Dongshun Mingli was asking Xu Haifeng, but he was actually asking about the actions of the Caesar people. So he said directly: "I only received a letter from Xiang Ming yesterday, and the Caesar people don't know why, until this time, they have not gathered a large army, and they have not had two months, and they do not want to attack. ”

"Alas, it's a pity, the emperor is already suspicious of us, otherwise ......" Tang Zonghan shook his head and sighed.

Fang Lingtian and Su Dongshun smiled bitterly, their three major families sent their descendants to Wolong City, this seems to be secret, but how can they hide it from Emperor Han Xian, if it has not aroused his suspicion, it is a big strange thing.

Especially Xu Haifeng, as soon as he arrived in Lin'an City, he immediately couldn't wait to change the name of the city to Wolong, such a move, it was really his heart to be punished, Emperor Han Xian was able to remain quiet, he was forced to helpless, to make him believe that Xu Haifeng brought back the news from the Huns, it was simply whimsical.

"If ......" Su Dongshun hesitated for a moment, sighed, and said, "Forty years ago, ......"

"If it weren't for that incident, maybe the Han Dynasty would have changed a long time ago, and maybe our three major families would have ceased to exist a long time ago." Fang Lingtian said coldly.

"Alas......"

With a long sigh, the three of them drifted apart, their lonely backs with an indescribable desolation in the setting sun.

Half a month later, a fast horse came to Wolong City, and after the knight handed over the paperwork in his arms to the post station, he immediately fell into a coma from exhaustion.
