The surprise in Huang Longhu's heart can be imagined, so much so that he actually forgot to speak after standing up, he is one of the dignified generals of the Quartet, and immediately discovered his gaffe, and said modestly: "Your Highness has won the award, and the important ministers in the court are as brave as tigers, and the old decay is not ranked." ”

Fang Ling smiled, and he was not saying polite words, and after Huang Longhu sat down, he said casually: "I heard that the battle in the East Dome Pass is also very fierce now, and I see that some of the soldiers in the city are also quite tired. ”

Huang Longhu said calmly: "Now that the people of Yizhou Kingdom, Dongzhou Kingdom and Anxi County Kingdom are attacking my East Dome Pass, and after more than a dozen battles in a row, it is true that the soldiers are also tired. However, Your Highness can rest assured that the last general will definitely defend this pass and will not let the army of the Three Kingdoms attack further!"

Fang Ling had already collected the Xingzhou war through the eyes and ears of Yinhu Water Village before he came, and when he saw Huang Longhu showing full confidence, he couldn't help but smile faintly and said: "However, according to this king's view, Dongqiongguan is indeed an internal and external trouble, and the situation is not as optimistic as General Huang said." ”

Huang Longhu squinted slightly, and pretended to be puzzled: "Oh, how can Your Highness say this?"

Fang Ling flicked his hand and said: "The country's civil and military generals are nothing more than divided into three major factions, one is the forces that support the crown prince's queen and Prime Minister Cui, the second is the forces that oppose them and support the king, and the third is the middle force. There is no doubt that General Huang is one of these forces. ”

Huang Longhu smiled lightly: "The last general has always disliked to talk about politics, naturally he doesn't like who to support, who owns the throne, everything is up to His Majesty's decision." ”

Fang Ling chuckled and said, "Of course, it is best for General Huang to think like this, but it is not necessarily that others will necessarily think like this. As far as I know, Empress Song has always taken the means of co-opting the middle forces, but if the co-optation is not successful, she will try her best to eradicate it. Xingzhou has such a big piece of fat, I'm afraid that she has been coveting it for a long time, but she has never had a chance. ”

Having said this, although Huang Longhu's face did not change, his brows couldn't help frowning.

Fang Ling saw his expression in his eyes and continued: "The men and horses stationed in the East Dome Pass are 460,000, the Yizhou army is 150,000, the Dongzhou army is 200,000, and the Anxi County Wang army is 100,000, adding up to 450,000. However, His Majesty is only afraid that he will not increase the number of troops in the East Dome Pass, because Empress Song knows that if the East Dome Pass is lost, then she can push her forces here. ”

Huang Longhu's heart sank when he heard this, he didn't expect Fang Ling to see the situation so clearly. Indeed, he had already asked His Majesty for more troops, but he was beaten back. Now that I think about it, it is indeed very likely that Queen Song is blowing the wind on the pillow.

He looked at Fang Ling intently and said: "Your Highness is really wise, the last general doesn't like to talk about politics with people, but some people like to use politics against me, but Your Highness, the last general will never stand on anyone's side." ”
