On the third day after Huang Hanji's arrival in Usyuan, he received a letter from Xiao Yu.

There was only one short sentence in the letter, "The surrender of Burobi Khan, the cavalry under his command has reached more than 40,000 people, and will soon go south at Biluo Lake, cutting off the back road of the royal court." Today, there is Pu Yuan in the northeast, eyeing the tiger, but there is Taiji, and Yu is worry-free. ”

After Huang Hanji read the letter, he handed it to a great wizard beside him and said with a smile: "Xiao Fuma put a high hat on me." ”

The great wizard who has been protecting Huang Hanji personally said: "Pu Yuan is staring at the royal court with 60,000 horses, just wait for us to attack the royal court after the fisherman profits, and we have to guard against it." ”

Huang Hanji asked, "What is the news inside the royal court?"

The Great Wizard said helplessly: "It's difficult, before the war starts, seven or eight of the dark stakes left by the Great Khan have been pulled out, and the remaining dark sons really don't dare to act rashly." ”

Huang Hanji snorted and motioned for the great wizard to retreat, and after he was the only one left in the tent, the speaker of the four ministries glanced at Xiao Yu's letter, "But with Taiji here, Yu has no worries." ”

If you want Xiao Yu to be worry-free, then he, Huang Hanji, has to take the initiative to carry this errand, and at the moment it is nothing more than Pu Yuan watching from the sidelines.

Huang Hanji said softly: "It's so worry-free, Xiao Yu, you want me to carry this black cauldron for you." ”

......

In the southwest of Wusi Yuan, the heat of summer is seven or eight minutes less, but there is a feeling of autumn in the Central Plains, and Shen Dongzan, who is slightly thin, is sitting in the tent, and he also holds a letter from Xiao Yu in his hand.

However, compared with Huang Hanji, it is different. The letter reads: "The cabinet minister has a strict dynasty, and the two are not harmonious, but there is a world and my father, and I have no worries." ”

Shenhua Mo, who was accompanying his father on the expedition, said softly: "Father, what does Xiao Yu mean by this?

Shen Dongzan, whose face was already old, smiled lightly: "Yan Dynasty is Li Yan, the first assistant of the Great Zheng Cabinet, and Zhou Jingchao, the second assistant, since ancient times, the first assistant and the second assistant of the cabinet have restrained each other, implying that the older generation and the younger generation in our four departments are fighting for power, and Shiwu Gong is the current Taifu, Sun Shiwu, who can be crowned Taishi after death, Xiao Yu used Sun Shiwu to praise me, which is intended to let me come forward to help him reconcile the contradictions between the four departments." ”

Shen Huamo was puzzled: "Our four departments have always advanced and retreated together, as for the struggle for power between the older generation and the younger generation, it is nothing more than some elders of Hu Lie'er's department, where is it so serious?"

Shen Dongzan glanced at Shen Huamo and said slowly: "Older generation, younger generation, am I not an old generation? Isn't Huang Hanji an old generation? Who is the biggest senior in our four departments? It's not Huang Hanji, Xiao Yu said that Li Yan, the first assistant of the cabinet, is actually talking about Huang Hanji." Xiao Yu is asking his father to contain Huang Hanji, you must not spread today's events, if it reaches Huang Hanji's ears, whether he does it for his father or not, there is a gap with him. ”

Shenhua Mo nodded silently.

Shen Dongzan looked at his only son, and continued: "Whether it is Huang Hanji or a father, in the final analysis, he is already old, and in the future, it is still the world of your young people, and now Xiao Yu has the position and military power, and the Taoist Sect supports him behind him, it is no longer something we can point fingers at, you will be close to Xiao Yu in the future, and you will not be able to have a great wealth." ”

The smile on Shenhua Mo's face was a little stiff.

Shen Dongzan sighed with emotion: "Heroes are born in troubled times, and I can't tell whether the times create heroes, or heroes create momentum, or both, when the Central Plains was built into the Central Plains, the proprietor was just an ordinary general disciple of Songzhou when he was not yet developed, who would have thought that the proprietor could become the founding emperor of Da Zheng at that time?"

Shenhua Mo sighed lightly and said, "The child has been taught." ”

......

The two worry-free letters, sent to Huang Hanji and Shin Dongzan respectively, were actually from Lan Yu's idea.

Lan Yu said to Xiao Yu that if he really has the ambition to the grassland, then the biggest obstacle now is not the Red Lady, or even Pu Yuan, but Huang Hanji, the most influential in the four parts.

Speaking of which, Lan Yu made a very inappropriate analogy, Xiao Yu is like the crown prince who wants to succeed to the throne, then Huang Hanji is the minister left by the old emperor, so Xiao Yu later compared Huang Hanji to Li Yan, the first assistant of the cabinet, in a letter to Shen Dongzan. Generally speaking, the best way to restrict the first assistant is the second assistant, and the party struggle of the first assistant and the second assistant has also been in Dazheng for a long time, and the one who can take on the name of "second assistant" in the four ministries is nothing less than Shen Dongzan, as for comparing Shen Dongzan to Sun Shiwu, it is just Xiao Yu's flattery.

Xiao Yu wanted to use Shen Dongzan to contain Huang Hanji, and dug a pit for Huang Hanji to jump, so as to weaken Huang Hanji's prestige in the four parts.

For Shen Dongzan, it is tempting to take advantage, and for Huang Hanji, it is forced by the situation, this time to attack the royal court, the Chinese army is led by Huang Hanji, Xiao Yu and Shen Dongzan are actually only the left and right wings, if they want to fight now, they want Huang Hanji to take the initiative, so they fall into Lan Yu's calculations. But if he didn't fight, Huang Hanji would not be able to explain to others, and now that he was in the royal court, he said that if he didn't fight, he wouldn't fight? Even Huang Hanji didn't dare to go against the trend, which is the so-called general trend.

Lan Yu studied under Mr. Fu, and naturally it was not only the means of the cultivation world, but also the means of the world.

The current situation is that Pu Yuan's rebellion is the first knife to the royal court, so the fall of Brobi Khan has stabbed the red lady in the back, making the already worrying situation of the royal court even worse.

The royal court could not hold out, and many tribes no longer obeyed the orders of the royal court, but turned to the four tribes that occupied the name of righteousness.

The current red lady is already sitting in the city of sorrow.

There is Huang Hanji in the front, Pu Yuan and Shen Dongzan in the northeast and southwest on both sides, and Xiao Yu in the back.

The royal court has become an isolated city.

You can't fight, you can't run, and you can't talk about it.

If you want to talk, at least you can talk about it.

The only way out seems to be the only way out, but who knows if this will be a dead end?

The red lady didn't dare to bet.

The elders of the royal court did not dare to gamble.

The red lady sat in the main hall of the royal court, and several elders in the royal court, several respected great wizards, and generals had already arrived.

The entire hall was silent.

The red lady turned around and there was a map on the wall behind her. She pointed to a city on the map and said calmly, "This is the royal court. ”

Saying that, she marked them around and said, "These four points are Xiao Yu, Huang Hanji, Shen Dongzan, and ...... Our general Pu Yuan. ”

The expressions of the people below are different, some are indignant, some are indifferent, and some are indifferent.

The red lady glanced at it and was silent for a moment before saying: "Ten sieges, Xiao Yu's troops are not enough to besiege the city, if we concentrate all the forces of our royal court to attack one side, there will still be a glimmer of life." ”
