The third prince came to the palace outside the study with a heavy heart.

What I saw was the second prince.

Seeing the gloomy face of the third prince, the second prince understood in his heart.

It is estimated that something went wrong with Chen Changfeng's side.

Although the second prince did not participate this time, he sent people to watch every move of the third prince.

Today, Chen Changfeng went to the Black Armor Guard camp, and the second prince had been looking forward to it for a long time.

As long as Chen Changfeng died in the Black Armor Guard camp, he could deal with the three princes with peace of mind.

Even if the emperor can't find anything, his second prince can still direct this sewage to the third prince.

But looking at the face of the third prince, the second prince sighed secretly in his heart.

"Third brother, you're here." The second prince took the initiative to speak.

The third prince didn't speak, and he didn't know what the situation was on the Black Guard's side.

"Third Highness, Second Highness, hurry up and go in, Your Majesty has been waiting for a while." Liu Xi came out of the upper study, saw the two of them, and hurriedly greeted.

"Is the sixth here?" The third prince hesitated for a moment before asking.

"No, the two highnesses should come in first." Liu Xi stretched out his hand to invite the two.

The third prince did not speak, but turned around and walked into the upper study.

The second prince followed, and when the two entered the upper study, they saw Yao Xiaoren and Liu Shuwen standing inside.

There were several other ministers who stood on either side.

"The son visits his father." The two saluted the emperor.

"Let's be flat." The emperor waved his hand and looked at Liu Shuwen on the side: "Strategist, you can tell the big guy about the situation on the front line." ”

"Your Majesty, the crown prince hasn't ...... yet" Yao Xiaoren spoke, his tone a little worried.

Chen Changfeng went to the Black Armor Guard today, and there has been no news back so far.

Yao Xiaoren couldn't help but be a little worried.

But fortunately, Yao Xiaoren didn't see the excitement on the face of the third prince, which made him breathe a little relieved.

But Chen Changfeng has not appeared, and he will always be worried.

"That kid never comes on time, regardless of him." The emperor was a little impatient, and his eyes looked at Liu Shuwen again.

Liu Shuwen is about the same age as Yao Xiaoren, but the traces of time on his face are more obvious.

The body is emaciated, and the face is resolute.

"Your Majesty, now the 200,000 troops of the Great Chu Empire's Southern Army are confronting my Ming Dynasty in Nanjun, according to the scout's report, the Great Chu is constantly mobilizing resources from the rear, and Weichen estimates that in the spring of next year, the Great Chu Expeditionary Southern Army will launch an attack on my Ming Empire." Uncle Liu bowed slightly, and his tone was worried.

Although the Southern Army of the Great Chu Empire was only 200,000, the Ming border army that confronted the Great Chu Empire was only 150,000.

Originally, there was a gap in the combat effectiveness of the two sides.

Now the number of soldiers is still so small, if it really fights, the Ming will be defeated.

Liu Shuwen was also aware of this, so he rushed back to the capital of the Ming Dynasty in person and asked the emperor to send troops to support him as soon as possible.

The emperor's face sank slightly.

The Great Chu Empire is determined to fight this battle with the Ming Empire, otherwise the reserve military resources of the Great Chu Empire will not be continuously transported to the front line.

The emperor guessed that it was the result of the previous competition, which made the Great Chu Emperor angry.

Or maybe the Emperor of Great Chu wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Ming Dynasty had not recovered and take down the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop.

No matter what the reason is, the most important thing for him in the Ming Empire at present is to immediately dispatch troops to prevent a sudden attack by the Southern Army of the Great Chu Empire.

"If you have any ideas, you can tell them now." The emperor's gaze fell on the ministers in front of him.

Yao Xiaoren frowned slightly and did not speak immediately.

The rest of the ministers were also silent.

The emperor's face instantly turned cold.

Da Chu dispatched troops, and it was inevitable to fight with them in the Ming Dynasty.

This is no longer a matter of whether they dare to fight this battle or not, but that their Ming Empire has no other choice.

"Third child, I'm ready to let you ......"

"Father, didn't the sixth brother say before that he would lead the army to the expedition and definitely take the thirteen cities of Nanjun?" As soon as the emperor wanted to speak, he was blocked by the third prince.

The third prince was not a fool, he knew what the emperor was going to say to him just now.

If it was normal, of course his third prince would not refuse such an opportunity.

But this expedition was different, and the commander of the Southern Army of the Great Chu Expedition on the opposite side was the peerless general Li Fengxian.

He is definitely not Li Fengxian's opponent.

In the past, it was just a death.

The third prince didn't want to die in the hands of Li Fengxian like this.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter who leads the army to the battle, what Weichen needs is troops, at least 50,000 horses." Liu Shuwen saw that the emperor's face was ugly, so he hurriedly came out to play a round.

Regarding the ability of the third prince, Liu Shuwen didn't believe much.

If the three princes lead the army, Liu Shuwen still has to worry a lot.

He came back this time to reinforce the troops, and the rest was not important.

But where can the emperor muster so many troops in his hands for a while?

"Third brother, how many soldiers have been summoned by the military department before?" The emperor asked the third prince again.

The third prince's face changed.

These days, he is only thinking about dealing with Chen Changfeng and Tang Mingren, where does he have the heart to manage the affairs of the military department.

"Speak!" The emperor drank violently, and everyone trembled.

"Back to ...... Returning to my father, I am still convening ......"

"Still convening?" The emperor stood up suddenly: "When are you going to summon?" ”

"Wait for the bastard of the Great Chu Empire to take a sword and kill me in front of me?"

"Father and emperor are angry, and sons and daughters ......" The third prince pounced and knelt on the ground.

The rest of the crowd also knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads.

Liu Shuwen's face was ugly, he came back to support, but now the third prince, the secretary of the military department, actually said that he was still convening.

Is it really as the emperor said, wait for the iron hooves of Da Chu to step into the territory of Da Ming, and then gather the supporting soldiers?

What is the third prince doing in the military department?

Liu Shuwen was secretly annoyed in his heart, but this was not the time to say this.

"Your Majesty, the front line is urgent, please Your Majesty must mobilize at least 50,000 soldiers to support the front line as soon as possible." Liu Shuwen looked at the emperor.

The Emperor clenched his fists, and then slowly sat back on the dragon chair.

"Prime Minister, do you have a solution?" The emperor looked at Yao Xiaoren.

As the emperor's right-hand man, Liu Shuwen was in charge of military affairs, and Yao Xiaoren was in charge of government affairs.

Now that there are not enough troops to support, the emperor can only look at Yao Xiaoren.

Yao Xiaoren hesitated slightly, and looked at the emperor with a hesitant face: "Your Majesty, the minister has thought of a way, but this method is afraid that it will not be so easy to succeed." ”

When the emperor heard that Yao Xiaoren had a way, his face was overjoyed, and he waved his hand and said, "Prime Minister, hurry up and tell me to hear it." ”

The eyes of the rest of the people were also looking at Yao Xiaoren.

None of them thought of where to get the 50,000 troops to support them.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember Huo Di's illness?" Yao Xiaoren slowly said a person's name.

Everyone clearly saw that the emperor's hand that had been released was only when he heard the name, and suddenly clasped the armrest on the dragon chair tightly.

Everyone who heard this name was even more shocked, and secretly said that Yao Xiaoren was crazy, and put this person's name in front of the emperor.

The second prince chuckled even more in his heart, and his face was instantly difficult to see.

Huo Dizhi, the Ming military god who was rumored to have died on the journey, was once again mentioned in front of the emperor.
