Chapter 136 Brothers
Luoyang City, inside the Imperial Palace.
"Damn Qi Tian, he actually reversed, he really reversed!" Xiao Yu roared angrily, he has always been more literate, and it can be said that he has a rare gaffe.
Zhang Hu stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, that guy Qi Tian's rebellion has become a fact, and it is unnecessary for us to say anything now, it is better to think about how to solve it." ”
"Although the last general is old, he is still willing to lead a brigade of troops to conquer Qitian."
Xiao Yu nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, pass the decree, from now on, restore General Zhang Hu to the position of general, command the world's soldiers and horses, and go to conquer Qitian." ”
"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince." Zhang Hu said excitedly, since he assisted Xiao Yu to escape, he has been thinking about resuming his position as a general all the time, and today is finally complete.
Xiao Yu nodded, and asked again, "General Zhang Hu, how many soldiers and horses do you have in your hands now?" ”
Zhang Hu replied: "About 20,000." ”
Xiao Yu frowned.
Zhang Hu was puzzled: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, what's wrong with you?" ”
Xun Liang directly said Xiao Yu's worries: "General, although Qi Tian's new army is only 20,000 people, they all have the equipment that Qi Tian has studied, and their combat effectiveness is not comparable to those soldiers under you. ”
Zhang Hu frowned and said, "According to that, what is the high opinion of Lord Shangshu who can help me defeat Qi Tian?" ”
"Gao Jian doesn't dare to say it, but if you want to defeat Qi Tian, it's not a difficult thing." Xun Liang said to Xiao Yu as he spoke,
"His Royal Highness the Prince Qiqi, when we came to Luoyang, I specially went to the Qi family army to meet the current chief general Xu Qing, and had a very happy conversation with him."
"In my opinion, it is better for us to let Xu Qing follow General Zhang Hu to conquer Qi Tian, with the equipment and combat power of the Qi army, there is still hope to meet the new army."
Hearing Xun Liang's words, Xiao Yu couldn't help frowning and said, "Lord Shangshu, I understand what you mean, but do you really think that Xu Qing can deal with Qi Tian for us?" ”
"You know, he has a good relationship with Qi Tian!"
Xun Liang showed a smile that saw through everything, and explained: "Please also rest assured that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a good general who is loyal to the monarch and patriotic when I talked to Xu Qing." ”
"A person like this will definitely put the country's interests in front of his personal feelings, if the Son of Heaven has a decree for him to go to conquer Qi Tian, I believe he will definitely not think of the old feelings, and he will definitely exterminate Qi Tian as quickly as he wants."
After listening to Xun Liang's explanation, Xiao Yu nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, Master Shangshu has said so, then I believe Xu Qing for the time being." ”
"Immediately send an edict to Daijun, ordering Xu Qing to lead the army into Beijing and go to Yizhou with General Zhang Hu to attack Qitian."
"Yes."
Youzhou, Dai County, Qijia Army Station.
After listening to the envoy read out the will of the Son of Heaven, Xu Qing's brows were furrowed, and his expression was even more sad.
"Husband, Your Majesty actually asked you to crusade against Brother Tian......" Xu Qing's wife, Pan Yi, has been following Xu Qing in the Qi family's army, taking care of his diet and daily life, and now after hearing the will of the Son of Heaven, she couldn't help but be stunned.
"How is that possible? How could Brother Tian rebel? There must be some misunderstanding in this......" Xu Qing said with a pale face, he never thought that he would one day go against Qi Tian.
Pan Yi also asked with a pale face: "That husband, what are you going to do next?" ”
Xu Qing said solemnly: "Your Majesty's will, I can only obey it, and when the time comes, I can only talk about it after seeing Brother Tian." ”
Pan Yi nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, husband, I'll go with you!" ”
Yizhou, Hanzhong County.
"General Qiqi, according to the news from Luoyang, Xiao Yu appointed Zhang Hu as the general, and threatened to lead an army of 200,000 to attack us."
In the county guard's mansion, Jiang Dong reported to Qi Tian with a serious expression.
Qi Tian rubbed his forehead and sneered: "Two hundred thousand? Interesting, where are there so many troops that Xiao Yu can mobilize now, it's just a bluff. ”
"The general is wise." Jiang Dong said respectfully.
Dada-da.
At this moment, a rush of footsteps sounded, and it was Deng Ping who walked in and hurriedly reported: "General Qiqi, a large number of soldiers and horses have come from outside the city. ”
"What?!" Qi Tian was extremely surprised, if it was Zhang Hu's crusade against the soldiers and horses, this would come too quickly, right?
However, when Qi Tian came to the city tower, he found that the soldiers who arrived outside the city were all dressed in black, and they were not Dafeng's army at all.
"Who are these?" Qi Tian said with a frown.
As he spoke, a black-robed man led by those black-clothed soldiers walked out and shouted, "Dare to ask the city, but is it General Qi Tian?" ”
Qi Tian nodded: "I am, dare to ask who Your Excellency is." ”
"Li Jing, the commander of the Protector Army, came to assist Your Excellency on the orders of Prince Li Yan." The black-robed man said seriously.
Qi Tian was as surprised as he was: "What? You said that Hu Yan sent you, and Hu Yan ...... him."
"Yes, my brother is in trouble, how can I not come to help?" A happy voice sounded.
Qi Tian looked at the source of the sound and saw a man with a face like a crown of jade appearing in the black-clothed army.
It's none other than nonsense.
"Brother, long time no see." Hu Yan smiled and said hello.
"Long time no see." Qi Tiantong greeted with a smile.
When the two brothers met, Qi Tian gave Hu Yan a big hug.
"Brother, it's good that you can forgive me." Qi Tian said with emotion.
"You don't have to say that, Qi Tian, I was impulsive last time...... However, now that you've fallen out with Xiao Yu, I don't mind those things. Hu Yan said with a smile.
Qi Tian was speechless and said, "Isn't it? Nonsense, it was because I fell out with Xiao Yu that you forgave me. ”
"Or else? If you continue to stand on the same team with Xiao Yu, why do I still have to deal with you? Hu Yan rolled his eyes and said.
Not...... That's what it means.
"General Qiyu, a banquet has been arranged in the city, please go into the city with Prince Li Yan to discuss in detail." Deng Ping came to Qi Tian's side and said respectfully.
Qi Tian turned his head to look at Hu Yan, smiled and asked, "What's the matter?" It's hot now, so why don't you go in and have a drink? ”
"That's a must." Hu Yan also smiled and said, the two brothers held hands and were about to enter the city.
Suddenly, before the two brothers could enter the city, they saw smoke billowing in the distance.
A scout from the New Army rushed to report in a hurry: "General Qiyu, Zhang Hu's army has arrived. ”
"So fast?!" Qi Tian was surprised and said, "This Zhang Hu is really a veteran who has followed Xiao Yan, and the speed of the march is fast." ”
Hu Yan yawned and said: "No way, Qi Tian, in that case, then let's kill Zhang Hu first, and then go into the city to drink the celebration bar together." ”
Qi Tian nodded: "Okay, I think so too." ”
