The Zhou family has been laid out in the northwest for many years.

He also secretly supported the Celestial God Cult.

Therefore, this expedition not only mobilized the government soldiers, but also used the power of the Celestial God Sect and the Tusi.

In less than three days, 30,000 horses were assembled.

Anyway, everyone knows that going to Lingwu County is going to eat meat.

Who doesn't know, only Lingwu County has enough food, and the people can be fed and clothed.

Many people in their jurisdiction would rather become homeless people than run to Lingwu.

Now that the horses and horses have raised up to fight the thieves, how can they not work hard.

Therefore, when they arrived in the territory of Lingwu, everyone did not restrain their subordinates.

The 30,000 men of them were like locusts passing through the border, plundering all the goods and food of the people in their passing.

This kind of brutal behavior is no different from that of a barbarian.

I had already received the report, and everyone in Lingwu County heard this report from the scout.

Thankfully, when they got the news, they stopped all the work and recruited all the people into the city, and at the same time, there was endless anger.

You know, it's all the food and property that the local people have worked hard to get to work.

This is the hope of their lives.

But they did not let the barbarians take it away, but they were plundered by their own people.

"This group of people, doing this is like a rebellion, Commander Ouyang, did you go to the imperial court and ask for reinforcements?"

After all, Yang You didn't understand military affairs, and when he heard the report, there were more than 30,000 people on the other side, and in addition to the 3,000 soldiers in Woniu Mountain in their city, there were 10,000 soldiers recruited locally who had only trained for less than a month.

Coupled with Li Xing's absence, he felt that he had no backbone, and he was inevitably a little nervous in his heart.

Ouyang Xiong didn't want to ask for reinforcements.

But he knew better than anyone else about the situation in the imperial court.

The crown prince and Lord Li led the two armies of Kyoto Nishiyama to suppress the bandits, and the rest was enough to defend Kyoto.

When His Majesty the Emperor received the report, he would only be in a hurry, but there was nothing he could do.

All they can do now is fend off the onslaught of these greedy people.

If we can turn this crisis into an opportunity, not to mention completely taking over the northwest, as long as we win half of the territory in the northwest, we will have a lot to do in the future.

So he said to Yang You: "Mr. Yang, there is no need to be nervous, under the construction of Lingwu County in our time, the old city has long been different from what it used to be, and it is a dream for 30,000 people to want to take it." ”

Li Gou'er also nodded and said, "Commander Ouyang is right, as long as the people of Lingwu work together and want to take down Lingwu, they need at least 100,000 people." ”

Lao Dao also agreed, but raised a little worry: "The other party already knows that the prince and Li Xing are pretending to be dogs and me, this matter is indeed a bit troublesome, although we have sent a secret letter the day before yesterday, but I don't know if the two of them can rush back before the Zhou family's coalition forces are encircled." ”

As soon as Lao Dao's words came out, Ouyang Xiong's face changed slightly, and he glared at Lao Dao angrily: "Dao Chief, you went to inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about it, why don't I know?" ”

"Commander Ouyang, he is busy laying out defenses, and Poor Dao doesn't want you to be distracted."

Although Lao Dao noticed the change in Ouyang Xiong's face, he thought about it and felt that it was normal for such a big incident to let the two of them know and return.

It's good that he doesn't say it.

As soon as he said this, Ouyang Xiong, who had always been calm, suddenly became angry.

"Are you killing the crown prince and Master Li?"

"Don't you know that on the battlefield, there are scouts everywhere, even if the prince and Master Li rush back, how to pass through these thousands of troops?"

"You're ......"

Ouyang didn't know what to say.

Then he said to the members of the shadow guard beside him: "Old Seven, you rush to Hedong City in person, be sure to inform the prince and Lord Li, please don't return to Lingwu City, and wait for us to retreat from the enemy, and then send someone to inform the two of them." ”

"Yes."

Lao Qi was about to leave.

Li Gou'er, who has rarely made suggestions, spoke up at this time.

"Wait, I think this is a crisis and a turning point, the prince and the young master of my family, if they can rush back in time, those people outside will instantly become traitors and thieves, and they will be exterminated, even if they can't destroy the Zhou family, they can also be greatly injured."

That's what the old way actually means.

So nodded with satisfaction.

Ouyang Xiong didn't know this.

But now Your Majesty has only one son.

In case of an accident with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the entire Great Xia will fall into chaos.

He didn't dare to let the prince take this risk.

So he said: "I will first secretly inform Your Majesty about this matter, and if Your Majesty agrees, then let the crown prince and Master Li return to Lingwu." ”

"Pedantic."

Lao Dao glared at Ouyang Xiong: "If you come back and forth, if you delay for too long, the enemy has been repulsed, we will be more convinced of the fact that we are pretending to be the prince and Li Xing, and then they can even bite back and ask the court to send troops, I am afraid that many forces will be willing to take action, even the emperor may have to pinch his nose and admit it." ”

Speaking of this, Lao Dao was afraid that everyone would not understand, so he deliberately paused to give them time to think.

But seeing that they still hesitated, he added: "Don't forget, coal mines and salt mines, those are their red-eyed things." ”

"This ......"

Ouyang Xiong was speechless for a while.

Lao Dao continued: "If the prince and Li Xing arrive in time, they can expose their lies, just as the dog said, they will be thieves. ”

"So Commander Ouyang, what you have to do now is to play a concert for the emperor, saying that the Captain of the Horse has joined forces with the Heavenly God Sect and the Tusi to rebel."

"Well, that's all there is to it."

Ouyang Xiong is right to think about it carefully, when things come to this point, it is indeed time to take some risks, I just hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can be safe.

Then take out a pen and paper, start to write the secret music, and then seal it with a bamboo tube and wax clay.

Only then did he hand it over to Lao Qidao: "This secret music must be handed over to the Grand Commander by hand." ”

"Yes."

Lao Qi took it with both hands, there was no extra nonsense, and he turned around and left.
