Jiuquan City traveled more than 100 miles to the southwest, and there was a pit. Legend has it that thousands of years ago, a celestial stone fell and smashed a large pit that could accommodate tens of thousands of people. Because of the shelter of the terrain, none of the passers-by found that there was a large camp tent stationed in the pit.

"Sir, you're here!" The four princes burst into tears with excitement.

Mr. Youya is in a good mood. He had thought about coming, but there was no excuse, so Xie Xun sent the opportunity to his hands.

Didn't God help them to do it?

"Where's the matter?" Mr. Ariya asked.

"Father and son are no longer good. There was only one difficult matter, and the generals below shouted that they would send someone to Jiuquan City to ask the imperial doctor to come for treatment. Although that poison is rare, it definitely can't fool the doctor! The fourth prince sweated on his forehead in a hurry.

Mr. Youya did not panic at all, "Everyone is about to die, what is Your Highness worried about?" Take a few more cheap lives, but you can win people's hearts, why not? ”

The fourth prince patted his head vigorously, "Why didn't this prince think of it?" People were sent out in front of those generals, but this prince could kill people halfway! Waiting for the death of the father and son of the Marquis of Zhongyong, who still remembers those who went to Jiuquan to ask for a doctor? Sir Clever! ”

It's you who are stupid!

Of the nine princes, the smartest are the fifth prince and the seventh prince. I don't know how the treacherous and cunning emperor chose the four princes? Could it be that he was dazzled by the noble concubine and nephew? Sure enough, men who are greedy for sex are prone to misinformation.

"Summoning all the generals to the big tent of the Chinese army, the old man has a message to announce."

"What oracle?"

"The decisive battle is scheduled for two days later."

The fourth prince clapped his hands excitedly, "Great." Finally, I don't have to gnaw on the hard dry food anymore! ”

Although it is covered by terrain, there is no wind and sand, and no fire can be burned, and the smoke will attract attention. All the way here, the army eats dry food. Even if it is jerky, it becomes difficult to swallow when it is frozen and hard.

The four princes had to scold and scold for a while every time they had a meal, and they were really hungry, so they only took a few bites. While gnawing, he muttered fiercely, "Eat the hardships of the land, and become a master!" This prince shinobu! ”

"The army will withdraw tonight. Within three days, it is necessary to rush to Zhangye. Mr. Ariya said.

"Wouldn't it be too early to withdraw now?" Being able to leave, the fourth prince was overjoyed, and couldn't help but be apprehensive, "In case Jiuquan sends someone to confirm it again, wouldn't it be exposed?" ”

It is only more than 100 miles away from Jiuquan City, and fast horses can go back and forth in a day.

"If the camp tent is not demolished first, 3,000 people will be left, so there will be a suspicious array." Mr. Youya decided that the emperor would not send any more people, and even if Xie Xun acted cautiously, those people would never enter the camp. The weather is cold, and there is no need to train troops, 3,000 people are enough to confuse the public.

A cadre of generals was called into the big tent of the Chinese army. Because the Marquis of Zhongyong and the eldest son Liu Hong did not know the personnel, standing at the forefront of the generals was the second son Liu Cheng.

Immediately, a general frowned suspiciously, "Retreat? Didn't you say let's ambush the Snowpiercers? ”

The fourth prince made a straight face, "Mr. Youya is a dependent minister by his father's side, what he said, can it be false?" If General Xu Bi doesn't believe it, he can personally send someone to Jiuquan to ask Xie Shizi...... However, with the grade of General Xu Bi, I am afraid that I will not be able to see Xie Shizi. ”

Xu Bijiang, who raised the question, blushed. The partial general is only from the fifth grade, and in front of the second-rank marshal, he is a small official with a big sesame. The four princes clearly ridiculed Xu Bijiang for not being able to do anything.

General Xu Bi is the most important under the Zhongyong Marquis on weekdays, but he has been disgraced by the four princes, and even if others have doubts, they dare not speak out again.

"But the Hou Ye and the eldest prince are seriously ill now~"

It was still Xu Bijiang who spoke. The Marquis of Zhongyong not only reused him, but also his savior. The father and son of the Marquis of Zhongyong did not know anything about the place, even if he knew that he would offend the four princes and Mr. Youya, he had to speak.

Mr. Ariya was about to say, "Then you will stay and take care of their father and son." Hurried footsteps sounded outside the tent, and the accompanying military doctor stumbled in, "Oh no, Master Hou and the eldest prince, I'm angry!" ”

Hula, everyone ran to the big tent next door.

Mr. Youya personally sniffed and shook his head pretending to be painful, "The person is gone." ”

"Father! Eldest brother! ”

The second son, Liu Chengdong, knelt on the ground with a bang, cried and walked to the front of the marching bed, and pushed the dead man hard, "Father, you left like this, what should my son do?" What to do with the 80,000-strong army? Don't die, wake me up! ”

"Second Prince~" The fourth prince strode forward and grabbed Liu Cheng's arm, preventing him from continuing to push the corpse's arm, "The deceased is gone, even if the second prince cries and breaks his liver and intestines, it will be useless." As Childe said, there are still 80,000 soldiers, waiting for Childe to lead them to make contributions. Childe must not indulge in pain! ”

Liu Cheng was still crying, "I'm overly sad now, my thoughts are confused, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to lead the army...... Uncle Xu, you are my father's most trusted person, and I am very relieved that the army will be handed over to you. ”

General Xu Bi was immersed in the grief of the death of his life-saving benefactor, and was suddenly named, and the other generals looked at him awkwardly. He sharpened his eyes and noticed that the generals' gaze was a little unkind.

It is true that he is a partial general, but he is not the highest in martial arts, and his time in the army is not the longest, and it is not his turn to lead the army in terms of seniority.

"Childe is at the end of the battle. The last general is ashamed. General Xu Bi threw his hand at Liu Cheng, "Gongzi is the only bloodline left by Hou Ye in the army, and the 80,000 army should naturally be led by Gongzi." ”

As soon as these words came out, the generals who had originally attached themselves to Liu Cheng echoed one after another.

"Childe, what General Xu said is very true. The position of commander, you should not give in, and even the title of Marquis of Zhongyong should be inherited by you. ”

"Bastard!" Liu Cheng scolded angrily, "The succession of the title is a major event in the imperial court, how can you wait for it to speak?" Don't quit yet! ”

The general repeatedly sued for the crime, but he did not retreat, and continued to persuade bitterly, "The matter of the title, the last general can't control it, but the son must not shirk the position of commander!" ”

"Please lead me and wait!"

Most of the generals knelt in front of Liu Cheng.

Seeing this, although the others felt that something was wrong, they could only follow the crowd and kneel down and ask Liu Cheng to preside over the overall situation.

Mr. Youya patted Liu Cheng on the shoulder, "Second son, the war is coming, and there is no time for you to be sad and sad." For the sake of the 80,000 soldiers under your command, you must cheer up. The matter of the title, when this battle is over, when you return to the capital, the saint will have a decision! ”

Liu Cheng raised his head in mourning and sighed heavily, "Okay, I will turn my grief into strength and guard these 80,000 soldiers for my father and eldest brother!" ”

A cadre of generals shouted, "Sone is wise!" ”

Mr. Youya asked everyone to withdraw from the camp and bid farewell to Liu Chengtime and his father and brother. The army will soon be pulled out, and the coffin will not be able to be carried with you, so you will have to find a place to bury it temporarily, and then send people to pick up the bones and send them back to the countryside to return to their roots.

In the camp tent, only Liu Cheng was left alive.

Liu Cheng changed the sad look he had just now, and the corners of his mouth slowly pulled up.

Looking at the dead man, he laughed silently for a while before he said, "Dad, you can't blame your son for this." You are too biased, and if your son wants to inherit the title, he can only use means. You can rest assured, I will take my soldiers to make meritorious contributions and move the ancestral hall of our Liu family to the capital, so that the reputation of the Marquis of Zhongyong will be famous inside and outside the Yun Dynasty. You can go with peace of mind. ”
