Nine Springs City, thousands of miles away.

Xie Xun returned to Jiuquan day and night, and saw Tian Qing running away and scolding.

"Those bastards in Luoyang City are all crazy!"

As a military general, Tian Qing realized the danger of northern Xinjiang as soon as he received the withdrawal of troops from northern Xinjiang with troops by the Marquis of Southwest without permission.

Xie Xun was about to speak, when an eagle suddenly chirped above his head. Xie Xun's right eyelid jumped twice.

This letter eagle is cheap for the third uncle.

At this time, could it be that something happened in Northern Xinjiang?

After reading the eagle letter, Xie Xun almost ran away.

The Rong people really took the opportunity to raise troops against Northern Xinjiang!

100,000 troops overwhelm the realm!

The Rong people are brave and good at fighting, and there are only more than 10,000 soldiers stationed in the northern Xinjiang who can fight, and in one day, they lost three towns.

Xie Sanye desperately defended it, and he could only barely keep Beiyi Town. However, if there are no reinforcements, Beiyi Town will not last for five days, and it will inevitably be broken.

After the northern barbarians captured the cities of northern Xinjiang, they burned, killed and looted, drove hundreds of thousands of Han people in front of the battle like cattle, sheep and livestock, and used as horse pawns, live meat shields, and wall ladders when attacking the city.

When the soldiers defending the city in Northern Xinjiang saw their compatriots, they couldn't help but be merciful, and as a result, they gave the Northern Barbarians hiding behind those people a chance to exploit loopholes.

Through the letter of the third uncle, Xie Xun saw the danger in northern Xinjiang.

"But Ganzhou can't transfer troops anymore!" Tian Qing hurriedly turned around.

Although the countries of the Western Regions are small, they are also quite ambitious. If you know that the city of Ganzhou is empty, you will definitely take advantage of the fire to rob it.

"Otherwise, ask Luoyang for help. The combined number of men and horses in the hands of the King of Pingnan and the Marquis of the Southwest is enough to recapture the three towns of Northern Xinjiang that they lost......"

"I'm afraid they don't care about the survival of northern Xinjiang at all." Xie Xun sneered mockingly.

Hou Dan of the southwest would not leave with 100,000 people if he considered the northern frontier.

After the first battle in the valley, the king of Pingnan had less than 100,000 people left in his hands, so how could he use the remaining chips in the northern frontier?

Xie Xun pulled his hair twice irritably.

As Tian Qing said, Ganzhou has no troops and horses to support northern Xinjiang.

Do you have to watch the northern frontier fall?

"There are still some horses in Shudi, but the road is too far."

From Shu to Northern Xinjiang, even if it is a rapid march all the way, it will take more than ten days, and far water cannot quench the thirst of the near.

Tian Qing's throat and eyes were anxious to smoke.

Xie Xun's eyes lit up, "How many people can Master Hou allocate from Shudi?" ”

Tian Qing knew that Xie Xun asked like this, and there must be a way to delay time, so he calculated carefully, "Shu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, leaving 30,000 people to garrison should be enough." Recruit some more recruits, and you can always make up 70,000 or 80,000. ”

"Okay! Then we'll see you in 10 days in Beiyi Town! ”

Tian Qing frowned, "How are you going to hold off the Northern Barbarian for five days?" ”

"I plan to take the 5,000 people from the Zhenguo Mansion to attack the rear army of the Rong people......"

"No way!" Tian Qing didn't wait for Xie Xun to finish speaking, and interrupted loudly, "Although there are only 100,000 people in the Northern Barbarians, the Northern Barbarians are different from the Snow Countryers. The Snowpiercers were in a hurry to return to help at that time, and they had no intention of fighting. The Northern Barbarian has an enmity with you, and once he hears that it is you, he will definitely leave Beiyi Town and surround you with all his might...... No matter how strong your martial arts are, you should know that two fists are invincible to four hands. You're going to die! ”

Tian Qing shook his head again and again. He didn't want this powerful young man to die.

Xie Xun also knew that his move was too risky. But he had no troops in his hands, and he didn't want to leave the northern frontier alone, so he could only risk his own life.

With the degree of hatred that the northern barbarians hated him, they would definitely temporarily let go of Beiyi Town and turn to besiege him. This gave the town of North a time to breathe and wait for reinforcements.

"If you don't go into the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, for the millions of people in northern Xinjiang, I can only take a risk."

Northern Xinjiang is Xie Jiajun's hometown, and as the future heir of the Xie family, he must not sit idly by.

"This ...... Ay! Tian Qing sighed mournfully, "The royal family doesn't think about the safety of the people, and the people who are generals only think about their own glory and wealth...... Could it be that the sky is going to kill my Yun Dynasty? ”

From west to east, the sky was so heavy with gloom that the people who crushed the ground were almost out of breath......

Luoyang City.

The military headquarters received a spy report that Beirong was coming.

After a five-day hiatus, the Great Pilgrimage finally reopened. The civil and military officials have reached ninety out of nine.

Profit-seeking, but there must also be a life!

Once the northern frontier is breached, the Rong people only need to connect Jinyang and Bingzhou again, and they can go directly to Luoyang.

For the first time, a cadre of civil and military officials offered advice in an endless stream at the court meeting.

"Order the king of Pingnan and let him lead troops to support the northern frontier! The soldiers under the King of Pingnan are brave and good at fighting, and they will definitely be able to defeat the Northern Barbarians. "The soldier of the military department proposed.

The high-ranking officials of the Ministry of War all went with the Emperor Xian's expedition to the west, and most of them died in the fiasco outside Jiuquan City. Those who survived were still hundreds of miles away and were detained by the four princes.

For a time, Wailang, a member of the military department, became the highest-ranking member of the military department to stay in the capital. He is a member of the faction of the Four Princes, so he naturally has to try his best to weaken the power of the crown prince.

The official of the Criminal Department immediately refuted, "If you talk about Xiaoyong and being good at fighting, I'm afraid that the Southwest Hou will be better!" ”

These words allude to the battle of the valley. Although it was Mr. Yaya's strategy, the Marquis of the Southwest defeated the King of Pingnan, which is a well-known fact.

"Whether it is combat effectiveness or duty, we should order Hou Pei Lin in the southwest to lead troops back to the north of Xinjiang!" The officials of the Criminal Department made a loud noise.

Wai Lang, a member of the military department, was speechless for a moment. If it weren't for the Southwest Marquis who brought troops back to Luoyang without permission, how could the northern Xinjiang be empty? How can you lose the city and lose the land?

If it weren't for the fact that the Southwest Marquis and 100,000 soldiers and horses were a hundred miles outside the city, the prince's faction would definitely order the Southwest Marquis to be questioned.

Xie Shangshu, who had been watching silently, secretly sneered and shook his head.

At such a critical juncture, these people can't put aside their personal gains and losses and shake hands and make peace.

Where did the reinforcements from Northern Xinjiang come from?

Xie Shangshu and his old friend Chu Hui glanced at each other and sighed helplessly.

Such a court already makes them not want to speak.

As a result, the civil and military officials were noisy and shouting for most of the day, but they still didn't decide who would lead the troops back to the northern Xinjiang?

The people of the prince's faction did not agree with King Pingnan's northward journey, and it was even more unlikely that the people of the Four Princes' faction would let the Marquis of the southwest leave.

Although the fifth prince was the prince of the prison country appointed by the first emperor, he did not have much right to speak in front of the faction of the crown prince and the fourth prince. Seeing that both factions refused to back down, they could only announce the dissolution of the dynasty.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the five princes disguised themselves and left the palace.

The carriage circled the city for half a circle, and finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous teahouse.

The fifth prince, disguised as a rich son, went straight to the private room on the second floor.

There was already a person sitting in the private room, slowly sipping fragrant tea.

The fifth prince bowed to the man, "King Lao Shangshu has been waiting for a long time!" ”

Wang Qiheng stood up and saluted back, "Your Highness, please take a seat." ”

personally poured a cup of hot tea for the five princes.

The fifth prince had no intention of tasting tea, frowning, full of worry, "Northern Xinjiang is in an emergency, but the imperial court has no troops to adjust, how can it be good?" ”

The corners of Wang Qiheng's mouth pressed down slightly, forming a sneering smile, "Your Highness is a minister summoned for the danger of Northern Xinjiang?" ”

Ming people don't tell lies in front of them, Wang Qiheng doesn't like the pretense of the five princes very much.

was exposed, and the five princes no longer pretended to be worried about the country and the people, and said bluntly, "I only asked one thing when I visited Wang's house that day and made an appointment today. Is the Wang family willing to abandon the second brother and support me instead? ”

The plan in the heart of the five princes was finally put on the table.
