Chapter 441: Troop Mobilization (1st Shift)
The old protector and the eldest princess of Sheng'an were having dinner, and the princess was also left by the eldest princess, and when the three of them were halfway through eating, they heard that His Royal Highness the prince had come down, and they all hurriedly put down their chopsticks and went out.
You must know that Prince Yan echoed, in order to avoid suspicion for many years, unless it was the New Year's Festival or the birthday of the old protector and the eldest princess of Sheng'an, the rest of the time, it was easy not to go to the door of the mansion.
Last time, Zhou Gu was seriously injured and in danger, so he went back to the door.
Now, for the second time this year, this is the only time this year.
The so-called Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Yan Echo came to the Protector Mansion so late, there must be something.
The three of them thought of Zhou Gu first, and they were afraid that Zhou Gu had some bad news, so he handed it to Yan Echo, and Yan Echo would hurriedly come to the door at this time.
The old protector still cares about his grandson very much, but he is so steady, although his steps are big, but they are quite steady. The eldest princess of Sheng An was most worried about Zhou Gu, but fortunately, she was supported by the Duchess of the Kingdom, a few steps behind the old protector of the country, but her face was obviously anxious.
Yan Echo was led by someone, and directly found the courtyard of the old protector, when he saw the three people who hurriedly greeted him, he paused, hurriedly walked a few steps, came to the front of the three people, and arched his hand, "The old prince, aunt, grandmother, madam, it's getting late, and I'm alone and uninvited, and I'm bothered." ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that you can't bother it? But what happened to Brother Gu? The eldest princess of Sheng An asked urgently.
Yan echo hurriedly said: "Grandmother, not my cousin, he is all right, he came here today to discuss other matters with the old countryman." Aunt and grandmother are relieved. ”
The eldest princess of Sheng An was immediately relieved when she heard this, "That's good, Brother Gu is fine." ”
After she finished speaking, she wanted to say a few words apologetically that she was old, and she had lost her calmness, but when she heard that he was coming, she first thought of something bad, which really shouldn't be. But seeing that Yan Echo's face was not very good, he immediately understood, even if Zhou Gu was fine, but for Yan Echo, it should be extremely important to find it at this time.
She hurriedly waved her hand, "In that case, you guys should go to the study and talk about it!" ”
Yan Echo nodded.
The old protector hurriedly took Yan Echo to the study.
After the two left in a hurry, the eldest princess of Sheng An was a little worried, "I don't know what happened?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been steady, and he rarely looks like this. ”
The Duchess of Guo was relieved: "Mother, let's go back to the house and wait, and when my father and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have finished discussing, we will ask again in private, and we will know." ”
The eldest princess of Sheng An nodded, and the two went back to the house.
The old protector and Yan Echo came to the study, closed the door, Yan echo did not delay, and directly handed Su Rong's letter to the old protector, "Old Protector, please see." ”
"What is this?" The old protector reached out and took it.
"Su Rong's handwritten letter also has Zhou Gu's signature." Yan echoed.
Hearing this, the old protector hurriedly opened the letter, and after reading it, his face suddenly became ugly, "How can this be reasonable, this Zhang Ping is really a wolf's ambition and wants to bring disaster to the country." ”
How much ability Zhou Gu has, Yan echoed clearly, and the old protector also knew that his inference was reasonable, so naturally it was not untargeted. Especially with Su Rong in Nanping, that little girl is very shrewd, if she also gets her approval, then this matter is inseparable.
Yan echoed: "It's better to believe it than to be wrong." ”
The old protector nodded, "That's the truth, the soldiers are treacherous, and the most taboo is to underestimate the enemy." He looked at Yan Echo, "How does Your Highness think you should deal with it?" ”
Yan replied: "Lone got the letter, so he came directly to the Protector's Mansion, since his father handed over the full power of Jibei to Lone to deal with, Lone felt that there was no need to enter the palace to tell his father, so as not to leak the news, although Yan Lin and Yan Li have not made any big moves recently, but there are a lot of eyeliner, and the small actions behind the scenes are also constant." In case he gets the news and secretly reports to Zhang Ping, even if he dies, he still has to bear the loss. ”
The old protector bowed, "So, what does Your Highness mean is secretly mobilizing troops?" ”
"Yes." Yan Huisheng pointed out, "Although Su Rong said in the letter that he had sent a flying eagle to send a message and ordered the 100,000 soldiers and horses brought by Zhou Che to change the route, if there were too many soldiers and horses privately raised in northern Hebei, the number of 100,000 soldiers and horses would not be enough to save Nanping and sweep away the rebellion in northern Hebei, so when he received this letter, he thought about secretly transferring another 100,000 soldiers and horses to northern Hebei." ”
"300,000 soldiers and horses, 100,000 soldiers and horses have been quietly transferred by Zhou Che, and no one has found out that this news has been leaked, and it is very tightly concealed, but if another 100,000 soldiers and horses are transferred, I am afraid that this news will not last long." The old protector of the country is fair.
After all, 300,000 soldiers and horses are not half a star apart from 100,000 soldiers and horses.
"I can't hide it, I can't hide it, how long can I hide it. If Zhang Ping is really reversed, Lone will immediately take down Yanlin. Yan echoed.
If it can, Yan Echo wants to transfer all the 300,000 soldiers and horses of the Protectorate Mansion, but no, the capital is important, and there are a few ambitious Yan Lin, just in case. In his hands, he still has to keep some soldiers and horses.
The old protector nodded, "The top priority now is to solve the crisis of Nanping, I hope it's just that Gu Ge'er is wrong and has a false alarm." But if there is no mistake in inference, then the 200,000 soldiers and horses before and after, plus the soldiers and horses of the Marquis of Nanping, no matter how many soldiers and horses Zhang Ping has in his hands, these soldiers and horses are enough to resist, at least, Zhang Ping will not be allowed to succeed in taking Nanping. ”
Yan echoed his head, "Exactly." ”
The old protector asked: "Your Highness thinks who will lead the troops this time?" Is it Zhou Wei? Or is it the second week deep? ”
"Zhou Shen, Zhou Wei stays in Beijing." Yan replied: "After all, he is the son of the world, and he needs more attention." ”
The old protector nodded, "The old minister will send someone to send an order to Zhou Shen, and ask him to lead the troops to Nanping immediately." ”
Yan Echo nodded, "Order him to move more secretly, but to speed up the march, be sure to rush to Nanping as soon as possible." When he arrived at Nanpinghou, he had full authority to listen to Zhou Gu and Su Rong. ”
The old protector bowed, "Your Highness, rest assured, the old minister sent someone close to him to deliver the letter and let him leave tonight." ”
Yan echoes the head.
After explaining the matter, Yan Echo left an order, no longer stayed, and left the Protector's Mansion.
After he left, the old protector hurriedly called someone and ordered him to go to the barracks quickly and send a secret letter to Zhou Wei and Zhou Shen, and at the same time, along with the secret letter, there was also half of the tiger talisman of the old protector, as well as Yan Echo's handwritten order.
So, late at night, Zhou Wei and Zhou Shen received a secret letter, tiger talisman, and order from the old protector, and the two of them were suddenly shocked into a cold sweat and did not dare to delay.
Zhou Che and Zhou Shen took away 200,000 soldiers and horses before and after to solve Nanping's urgent needs, but they also made Zhou Wei in Beijing face a trouble, because as soon as these 200,000 soldiers and horses left, they took away all the grain, grass and salaries in the barracks.
