As soon as King Guangling left, He Tian immediately asked people to invite the military advisor to come.

"Military advisor, this time the king will lead the troops to Zhongzhou, and the city defense of Xizhou will be handed over to you."

Xie Chong is old, and he can't bear to march in a hurry, and the base camp of Xizhou still needs someone to be in charge.

Xie Chong said solemnly: "Your Highness, rest assured, the old minister will definitely be optimistic about Xizhou, and Miss Shi Yi." ”

He Tian nodded, although he had made all the preparations for going this time, it was still risky.

He didn't let Shi Yi stay in Qinghe County to go to Zhongzhou with Luo Guang before, and now he won't let her go to Zhongzhou with him.

For the right time, Xizhou is the safest.

.......

After He Tian explained some more things to Xie Chong, he went to Shi Yi's courtyard alone, planning to set off after saying goodbye.

found an excuse to drive out the light bulb of Cheng Xi, leaving only Shi Yi and He Tian in the room.

As soon as Cheng Xi stepped out of the hospital door, Shi Yi's mouth flattened, and he stepped forward to hug He Tian aggrievedly.

Shi Yi was very sensible, knowing that He Tian would never take her with her when he led the troops out, and she didn't dare to make trouble for He Tian.

But this time the situation was so serious, she stayed in Xizhou, worrying about He Tian every day, and she was also very aggrieved and sad.

He Tian reached out and hugged her, his chin rested on her head, and his palm gently patted her back.

"Don't worry, I promised you, after Wang Jun, there will only be good news. This time will be no exception. ”

Shi Yi nodded lightly in He Tian's arms and said, "Master, don't lie to me." ”

He Tian smelled the virgin fragrance on Shi Yi's body, and explained: "When I was young, I led the army to fight in all directions, thinking about living up to Beichen and the world. But now, what I want is that I would rather lose the world than live up to the eleventh. ”

Shi Yi raised his head, his big smart eyes flashed with tears, and he looked at He Tian in a daze, motionless.

He Tian lowered his head, kissed Shi Yi's smooth forehead lightly, and then looked at her and said, "When I come back, let's finish writing "Shanglin Fu", okay?" ”

"Hmm."

........

With the help of the guards, put on the battle armor and took the weapons, He Tian walked towards the gate of the palace with a few personal soldiers.

Shi Yi stood quietly on the second floor of the library building as before, watching He Tiantou leave without looking back.

"Strategist, why does the master never look back every time he leads the troops to the battle?"

Xie Chong, who was beside Shi Yi and also watched He Tian, said: "Your Highness doesn't look back, that is, you don't look forward to the return date, and you don't see worries, so that you can not be afraid of life and death." ”

Shi Yi watched He Tian's figure disappear around the corner, and said silently in his heart, Master, you must return safely.

I'll wait for you to come back and marry me.

.......

On February 11, King Xiao Nanchen led 10,000 elite soldiers to leave Xizhou and escorted the second prince of Nanxiao to Zhongzhou.

On February 25, good news came from Zhongzhou, and Xie Chong entered the palace with the good news.

Shi Yi couldn't hide the joy on his face, and read the good news three times before he slowly calmed down his excitement.

Things are going so smoothly, Xie Chong is also in a good mood, and said with a smile: "According to the time, the prince should have asked people to send the good news back on the day he occupied Zhongzhou, I am afraid that he is worried that the girl will be worried." ”

Shi Yi smiled so much that her teeth were exposed, and now her heart finally settled down.

In the days when He Tian left with the troops, she couldn't sleep at night, couldn't eat well, and the whole person was visibly haggard with the naked eye.

"Strategist, why is the attack on Zhongzhou so fast this time? It stands to reason that although he borrowed the name of escorting the second prince of Nanxiao, it is impossible for Zhongzhou to be defenseless against the master, and the master only brought 10,000 soldiers and horses, how could he take Zhongzhou so quickly? ”

Shi Yi was a little puzzled.

Xie Chong smiled and began to solve Shi Yi's doubts.

"The reasons are very complicated, let me explain it to you slowly."

"Do you remember a few years ago, His Highness asked me and Mr. Hengyu to be in charge of contacting the people of the family?"

Shi Yi nodded, she was very impressed by that meeting, and she still remembers it vividly.

"Among the Northern Chen family, in addition to the Luo family, the Hongnong Yang family, the Jiyang Changsun family, and the Northwest Yuwen family are the most powerful. The Changsun clan and the Yuwen clan both hold military power, and Zhao Teng and Liu Yuan dare not bully too much, but the Hongnong Yang clan, like the Luo clan, relies on reputation and many protégés. After Liu Yuan and Zhao Teng took power, they persecuted loyal ministers, many of Yang's protégés were killed, and most of the rest resigned to force trouble. ”

"At this time, among the commanders of the Zhongzhou Praetorian Guard, there is one person who is a relative of the Yang family, and he has long been the internal response of the palace."

"In the Zhongzhou army, only Liu Yuan's prestige is enough to deter everyone, and when he dies, the internal forces in Zhongzhou will inevitably compete for military power. In this way, a great opportunity is created for internal response. ”

Hearing this, Shi Yi frowned, hesitated for a moment and asked the question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time: "Military advisor, the death of Liu Yuan and Liu Wei....... Isn't it ......."

Xie Chong was so smart, he guessed her thoughts from Shi Yi's words and deeds, and nodded: "You're right." The deaths of Liu Yuan and Liu Wei were planned by me and His Royal Highness. ”

"I don't know if Your Highness has mentioned to you that a few years ago, a thing was developed in the army, and His Highness named it black powder, which will produce a violent explosion when it encounters an open flame. Outsiders don't understand this thing, so Xizhou borrowed a caravan to transport a lot of black powder to Zhongzhou. ”

"Liu Yuan and Liu Wei often like to feast and drink in Tianxiang Building, so we asked the spies in Zhongzhou City to place more of this thing in the building, and sent the two of them on the road at the right time."

Just after answering this question, Shi Yi had a new question: "But there are 100,000 Praetorian Guards in Zhongzhou, which is a part of Surrender, and the master only has 10,000 elite soldiers on hand, aren't you worried?" ”

Xie Chong smiled and shook his head: "Although Zhongzhou claims to have 100,000 troops, the soldiers have little experience in warfare, and the situation of empty salaries in the army is very serious, and it is possible that even one-third of them can fight." Moreover, who said that His Highness only has 10,000 elite soldiers in his hands? ”

Shi Yi was puzzled: "But the master clearly told me on the day he set off that he only brought 10,000 elite soldiers." ”

It is impossible for a master to lie to himself about this kind of thing.

"The girl should know that before His Royal Highness set out on the expedition, because Yongcheng was surrounded by rebels, His Royal Highness sent two generals, Feng and Xie, to lead 50,000 elite soldiers to the rescue, right?"

Shi Yi nodded, looked at Xie Chong, and waited for him to continue.

Xie Chong took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Actually, Yongcheng is not surrounded by rebels. The so-called rebels were actually soldiers under King Pingqin. Yongcheng is not far from Zhongzhou, so the two generals Feng and Xie went to Zhongzhou first in front of His Royal Highness in the name of rescue. His Royal Highness and King Ping Qin staged a play in front of the people of the world. ”

Shi Yi nodded with a clear face, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "What about Senior Sister, General Gan, and my brother?" Is it also acting? ”

"General Luo Feng is not, he really wants to take soldiers to garrison Shouyang. His Royal Highness was worried about Nan Xiao's movements, and General Luo was very familiar with Shouyang, so he gave him 50,000 soldiers and horses to be stationed there. As for General Hong, he will bring the remaining 50,000 soldiers and horses to meet with General Gan. ”

"What are senior sisters and General Gan going to do?"

"His Royal Highness thinks that Taiyuan King Jinrong is a person who has a back-and-forth and is very dangerous. Before making an excuse for King Guangling to persuade Jin Rong to send troops to rescue Zhongzhou, Jin Rong's daughter and son-in-law were in Zhongzhou, and he would definitely agree. General Gan and General Hong were there to deal with him. However, the person who really commanded the troops was Xiao Yan, who had already mixed in General Gan's army and left. ”

"Are they in danger then?" Shi Yi was a little uneasy, Taiyuan Wang Jinrong's strength was not weak, and he was a little worried about the safety of the senior sister.

"Girl don't have to worry too much. Xiao Yan is not inferior to His Royal Highness in military strategy, and General Hong and General Gan brought over are also elite generals of the Western Zhou Dynasty. In terms of ordnance, the Xizhou Army has made a lot of progress in armament in recent years, so the advantage in this area is also mine. ”

"In addition, after His Royal Highness takes Zhongzhou, he will inevitably block all news in the city to avoid letting Jin Rong know that Xizhou has made a move in advance and relax his vigilance. With a heart and no heart, Jin Rong will be defeated. ”

"In the end, His Royal Highness also prepared a killer weapon for Jin Rong."

Shi Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at Xie Chong suspiciously.

"Your Highness has someone by Jin Rong's side."
