Ying Chu summoned Cao Shen, Ying Chuan, Zhang Xun, Zhao Yun and others to the Xuanzheng Palace.

"Cao Qing, what can't you say in front of hundreds of civil and military officials?"

The former curious.

Hearing this, Cao Shen glanced at Yingchuan and said: "Back to Your Majesty, when His Royal Highness talked about the matter of Zhishan, the minister was puzzled after hearing it, after all, His Highness did not say the reason why the enemy army did not occupy Zhishan.

But after thinking about it, the minister understood the good intentions of His Highness, who was probably afraid that there would be people in the court who were in contact with the enemy, and once the matter was made public, he was afraid that it would directly affect the task of protecting the city. ”

Bloody mouth?

Yingchuan frowned.

Why didn't he say it for that reason?

He didn't even find out why!

Cao Shen's words made Emperor Qin Yingchu fall into deep thought.

In fact, he didn't think about these things.

During the period of Emperor Wu of Qin, there was also an incident of the Five Kingdoms attacking Qin.

But on that occasion, Daqin survived.

So at that time, Emperor Qin died, and the temple name was 'Emperor Wu'.

After the coalition retreated, Emperor Wu of Qin found a large number of ministers who had affairs with the enemy during the Great Patriotic Campaign.

The princes above the temple were terrified.

However, Emperor Qin Wu, who has great talent and strategy, made a move that no one expected.

That is to burn the list of ministers who had an affair with the enemy army in front of hundreds of officials.

This incident shocked everyone.

The courtiers were grateful to Emperor Wu of Qin, and without the assistance of two hearts, he achieved a prosperous generation.

Up to now, if the current courtiers have no contact with the enemy, Ying Chu will not believe it.

If today's Great Qin can also survive this difficulty like the period of Emperor Wu of Qin, then do you still have to settle accounts with their courtiers?

If you follow the example of Emperor Wu and finally refuse to deal with it, when there are more difficulties in Great Qin in the future, will those people or later generations still have to collude with the enemy?

The wind can't rise!

"You have reminded me, but for now you still have to focus on defending against the enemy, and you haven't said yet, why won't the enemy occupy the mountain?"

Ying Chu asked.

Yingchuan was unmoved.

Seeing this, Cao Shen frowned slightly, and muttered in his heart: "Could it be that the eldest prince intends to test me?" ”

Maybe that's the case.

The eldest prince has been reluctant to speak, doesn't he just want to hear what he can say?

"Your Majesty, it is very simple for the enemy army not to attack Zhishan, that is, they will not be able to reach Zhishan at all, even if they only transfer a small number of men and horses every day, it is impossible for our army to cross the ravines without our army's knowledge.

Moreover, in the area of Zhishan, there is a battalion of soldiers of our Daqin, if it is attacked by the enemy, it is impossible to even ignite the wolf smoke, and the enemy army intends to divert the attention of our army to Zhishan.

The minister suspected that General Zhao Yun was a suspicious plan of the enemy, and they had not attacked Xianyang for many days, so they must have had another plan! ”

As soon as Cao Shen's voice fell, Ying Chu suddenly realized.

Even Zhao Yun was shocked.

At this moment, Zhao Yun is still young and still has a long way to go.

Yingchuan just wants to get out of here now.

As soon as he said it casually, did things really develop as Cao Shen said?

He didn't believe it.

Ying Chu happened to see his brows not spreading, and simply asked, "Chuan'er, you can also talk about it." ”

Everyone looked at Yingchuan, and he slowly spoke: "Back to my father, my sons and Cao Guogong think the same, it is impossible for the enemy army to cross the mountain. ”

That was said, but in his heart, he wished that the enemy army would capture the mountain now.

Moreover, he was paranoid that the news brought by Zhao Yun's injury would never be false.

The enemy is definitely going to attack the mountain.

At that time, it was too late for Cao Shen and them to pay attention to Zhishan.

"Since the enemy army does not attack the mountain, what is the intention?" Ying Chu was extremely confused.

Cao Shen said: "This still needs to send troops, infiltrate the hinterland of the enemy, and then go to see what is going on before we can make a conclusion." I don't know what the eldest prince thinks? ”

Hearing this, Yingchuan said bluntly: "What Cao Guogong said is very true. ”

Send troops again?

Zhao Yun almost didn't come back when he went.

Wouldn't sending another army seek death?

And what good can it be?

It's just a headshot.

War always kills people.

Ying Chu saw that Cao Guogong asked Ying Chuan for instructions on this matter, and he was relieved.

It seems that his son does know the art of war, and even Cao Shen, who served as the commander of the forbidden army, has to listen to his son's opinion.

"Since the eldest prince and Cao Qing have reached an agreement, then I will send an army according to your two opinions, and go to investigate again, but... Even General Zhao Yun almost didn't return, how can he investigate clearly if he sends troops at this moment? Ying Chu asked.

Cao Shen said bluntly: "You can take the mountain road to avoid the eyes and ears of the enemy." ”

Walking the mountain trail?

The mountain road is rugged, if you encounter an ambush, you must be dead and alive!

Ying Chuan immediately said bluntly: "Father, the son agrees with Cao Guogong's point of view, since the ordinary road can't be taken, then simply take the mountain road." Erchen suggested that through the mountain road, go directly to Yucheng, otherwise, I am afraid that it will be difficult to figure out the movement of the enemy army. ”

The enemy army is certainly not a fool!

They must have set up an ambush on the mountain road!

It doesn't matter if you don't set up an ambush, let you go around to the city, and you will definitely be discovered by the enemy at that time.

In any case, there must be no return!

"Go around to the city... This... Isn't the risk too great? Ying Chu was worried.

Even Cao Shen was shocked, "Your Highness, isn't it too risky to do this?" ”

Hearing their voices, Yingchuan was overjoyed in his heart, thinking that his choice was not wrong, "If you don't make dangerous moves, how can you understand the enemy's mind?" If you don't know who you are, why can't you win a hundred battles? ”

This...

What the eldest prince said makes so much sense.

I can't argue with that.

As soon as Ying Chuan's voice fell, Ying Chu gritted his teeth and made a decision, "Since the eldest prince is sure, then everything will be done according to what the eldest prince says." ”

The former continued: "On this trip, Erchen suggested that a large number of troops must be sent not to make a small fuss, and according to Erchen, at least 10,000 people are needed!" ”

10,000?!

The crowd was dumbfounded.

There are only 50,000 soldiers in the city!

That's sending out a fifth!

In case of defeat, the strength of the city's defense will be greatly reduced!

Calm down!

The eldest prince must have other ideas.

Could it be... Is there a big takeaway from this trip?

Thinking of this, Cao Shen's eyes lit up, and he said: "Your Majesty, let Weichen lead 10,000 armor soldiers to go!" ”

Well?

10,000 people?

Cao Shen is such a stable person, he has to take the initiative to ask for help.

Don't...

Ying Chu seemed to think of something worth surprising, and said with a smile: "I believe in the eldest prince once, but this is the candidate for the commander... Chuan'er, what is your opinion? ”

He still has a grudge against the past.

Although the commander of the city defense is Cao Shen, one of the purposes of Ying Chu asking him to obey Ying Chuan's words is to empty Cao Shen's power.

So this may get credit, Ying Chu didn't want Cao Guogong to participate.

Ying Chuan said without thinking: "General Zhao Yun, I don't know if you still have the strength, go again?" ”

There weren't many people around him.

The previous Zhang Xun won the enemy army by mistake.

This time, he couldn't let him go.

After Ying Chu heard Ying Chuan's voice, he smiled slightly.

It's still my son who understands his father's mind!

Everyone looked at Zhao Yun.

He was not afraid at all and said: "It's just a small injury, it's not enough to worry about it, since the eldest prince let the lowly post go, then the lowly post will go again!" Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely try my best to bring back these 10,000 people! ”

"Good! I'm waiting for good news! Yingchu made a decision.

Zhao Yunnai is a tiger general, and he is loyal to the eldest prince and the imperial court, but it is worth reusing.

Everyone immediately withdrew from the Xuanzheng Palace.

When Zhao Yun was about to order the general, Yingchuan deliberately whispered: "Zilong, this way to the mountain road, there are many auspicious and few auspicious, if you encounter the enemy... Convenient... It's down..."

The former was stunned when he heard this, and was suddenly shocked, opened his mouth, and was speechless for a while.

It's just that there are a lot of thoughts in my heart:

The eldest prince actually asked me to surrender?

How can I, Zhao Yun, do something unfaithful and unjust?!

Even if you are besieged by enemy troops, it is just a battle to the death!

Wait a minute...

The eldest prince seems to have a deep meaning?

"Your Highness spared his life and loyally protected the country, and everyone knows this, so how can Your Highness, who is loyal and benevolent, let me commit treason? When you think about it this way, it seems that there is only one reason to explain it clearly...

That is, even His Royal Highness knows in his heart that this is more than auspicious, in order to preserve the vitality of my Great Qin, if he encounters an ambush by the enemy, he can only temporarily commit himself to the enemy army, and wait for the future!

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain His Highness's special order to surrender if I encounter an enemy army. However, His Royal Highness knew that this act was auspicious, but still let me go, did he want me to die?

This is obviously impossible, on the contrary, His Highness is very afraid of my death, so he let me choose to pretend to surrender to the enemy as a last resort, could it be said... Is there a reason to go?

But not sure what the real situation is? Since it is a dangerous move, there will definitely be risks, but at the same time, it also means that there are huge gains!

Your Highness, what a well-intentioned one! ”

Zhao Yun thought of this, and immediately burst into tears: "Please rest assured, Your Highness understands the lowly duty, and the lowly duty must be careful in this trip, please wait for the good news, and the lowly duty will go!" ”

He had already made a decision in his heart, if he really encountered an ambush by the enemy, then according to His Highness's words, he would pretend to surrender to the enemy and save these 10,000 armor soldiers, in order to have a follow-up effect.

"Wait, General Zhao, do you really understand?"

Hearing Yingchuan's question, Zhao Yun was even more sure that he was not wrong.

Otherwise, why should His Highness solemnly ask me if I have figured it out?

"I really understand the lowliness!"

"It's good to understand." Yingchuan nodded.

"Humble, gone."

"Let's go."

“......”

Looking at his back gradually moving away, Yingchuan always felt that something was not right.

"Does he really get it?"

"He should understand."

Ying Chuan took a deep breath and gradually revealed an intriguing smile.

How can you not seize such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

Walking the mountain road, even if you don't encounter the enemy ambush, then you will be sleepy and tired when you arrive at Yucheng, and once the enemy finds the traces, it will be a turtle in the urn and cannot escape

Then Zhao Yun listened to his own will and surrendered to the enemy army, which could save most of the people from being slaughtered.

It's a win-win, so why not?

As for why Zhao Yun was allowed to go, it was because the other party had the ability to stay in Xianyang and wait for death.

Yingchuan felt that he should have a wider world.

Surrender the enemy army, if it is reused, there will definitely be a good development.

However, after some self-comfort, Yingchuan suddenly laughed.

Once Zhao Yun surrendered to the enemy, Xianyang's troops would be directly reduced by one-fifth.

Xianyang, which could not be defended in the first place, would definitely be more likely to be captured if it lost its troops.

"10,000 people, deep into the heart of the enemy's army, how can they still come back? Surrender quickly. ”

Looking at the direction Zhao Yun left, Yingchuan felt comfortable physically and mentally.

He originally wanted the other party to lead more soldiers and horses.

But if you think about it, you also know that the emperor could not agree at all.

After all, a capital city is guarded by less than 50,000 armor soldiers!

Being able to send 10,000 people is the limit.

Inside the Xuanzheng Palace.

Ying Chu stroked his beard and said: "Dafu, why do you say that Chuan'er always doesn't like to speak thoroughly?" ”

The same is true for the last time when I wanted to sacrifice to the sky and let Zhang Xun go on the expedition.

Always letting others follow his thinking, this is a bad feeling for an emperor.

Dafu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, you don't have to worry, since the eldest prince is confident, you just wait for the news to come."

The old slave guessed that the eldest prince asked General Zhao to lead 10,000 people to spy on the enemy, and it must have other plans, but it is still unknown.

However, seeing that there is still a slight smile on the face of the eldest prince, I will definitely gain a lot from this trip.

The old slave heard that there is a kind of wise man in the world, who anticipates everything in advance, and the world basically does not understand what he does, but the final result is often very happy.

Moreover, there has been no shortage of people who have been tricky throughout the ages, this kind of person is nothing more than two situations, either they don't learn and don't know, or they have great talents, no matter how the prince looks at it, it looks like the latter. ”

Hearing this, Ying Chu laughed and said, "I understand, you mean that Chuan'er is such a wise man?"

When you say this, the widow remembers that Emperor Taizu has a strategist by his side, but when he is making some plans, he always doesn't like to tell the whole plan, and in the end he even came up with a so-called clever plan.

When this person makes a plan, he is either worried that the plan will be leaked, or he feels that the time is not right, or he is worried that no one will believe him when he says that the plan is coming.

But what is unexpected is that Taizu relied on this person and repeatedly turned danger into a disaster.

Since Chuan'er is far-sighted and does not lose to those who seek the country, then I have nothing to worry about, and I am obviously right to hand over this city protection to Chuan'er. ”
