An Linghou frowned, the reason why he didn't panic was because the prince was there. He has learned the prince's ability to lead the army, and he is not far behind the prince, and he knows the combat habits of the Xiliang army well.

He sneered, "With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here, the ministers are naturally not afraid of no one to lead the troops. Also, although General Qiao Kunqiao has been on the battlefield for a long time, he can completely take charge of it alone. The minister thought that he could lead a team of men and horses by himself in a hurry."

Zhao Chen asked, "Aren't you afraid that Qiao Kun will recover all your soldiers?"

An Linghou smiled bitterly, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is joking. Not to mention that the minister believes that General Qiao is a human being, and it is difficult to say how many soldiers can be left in the Northwest Army in this battle. Now the minister looks at those young soldiers and feels ashamed of them, obviously taking their lives to fill in the Qingyun Pass."

Zhao Chen pursed his lips, to be honest, the difficulty of this battle before the peace negotiation was beyond his imagination. The Northwest Army is not just guarding the passes everywhere, the Xiliang Army is seamless, they will go over the mountains and mountains, and they will invade from the field trails, which makes people unguardable.

In this life, he relied on some of the things he knew before, and he avoided many casualties, but the northwest defense line was still fragile and would be breached at any time. The Northwest Army really endured unimaginable pressure from ordinary people, and it really knew that it was death, but it could only grit its teeth to meet it.

Zhao Chen's tone softened, "Lone wrote another letter, and it was sent to the capital in an expedited manner for eight hundred miles. Now that the situation in the northwest is critical, let my father send soldiers to the soldiers from the Liangchuan battalion."

An Linghou looked at the sand table silently and did not say a word.

In the past month or so, he and his son, the crown prince, have had many letters and folds before and after, and they have not seen a single reinforcement of soldiers and horses. The emperor clearly planned to consume Anling Houfu to death.

When Zhao Chen saw this, he knew that An Linghou no longer had any hope for the emperor.

In fact, he was also very disappointed that his father's so-called imperial technique made him disdainful.

He suddenly wondered if it was him, fighting bloody battles every day, watching his soldiers die tragically on the battlefield, but the emperor was still thinking about killing him all, and in addition to being disappointed, would he also do anything drastic, such as treason.

Zhao Chen said, "There are 1,000 soldiers and 500 guards in the Prince's Mansion, and you can go to the border city in these two days to protect the safety of Lone. It's always fine for them to be 10 against 10, and they're good for raids."

An Linghou Wenyan was overjoyed, the guards of their Hou Mansion had almost come over, and his father said that no one in the capital dared to provoke them, and they didn't need these guards to escort them.

If it was added to the Prince's Mansion, the pressure on the border city would be reduced a lot, and he bowed and said solemnly, "Your Highness! The guards of the Prince's Mansion are all masters, and they will definitely be able to form a surprise army!"

Zhao Chen said, "Send Qiao Kun to lead five thousand cavalry to Cizhou. With the addition of government soldiers and guards, the withdrawal of 5,000 people will not have much impact. If there was nothing to do in Cizhou, it would be best if they hurried overnight and came back within two days. Even if the Xiliang Army attacks here, we will always be able to withstand it for a while."

He couldn't completely pin his hopes on General Ghostface, in case something unexpected, Cizhou would be broken.

An Linghou's trust and appreciation for the prince returned, and he said that the prince was excellent!

He arched his hand and said in a deep voice, "Minister, the order!"

Qiao Kun was made a general, but in just half an hour, 5,000 soldiers and horses finished ordering, and they left the border city camp with food on their backs.

When Zhao Chen returned to the tent, he saw Changshi Liangzhong waiting outside the tent, looking like a dusty servant.

His face moved slightly, and he instructed Wei Xiao, "You wait outside."

"Yes!"

Zhao Chen entered the camp tent, and before anyone sat down, he asked Liang Zhong, "How is the princess now?"

Liang Zhong saw that the prince's bandaged arm was oozing blood, and his face was obviously abnormal, he stepped forward and reached out to touch the prince's forehead, "Prince, you are injured and have a high fever, why don't you rest in the tent?"

Zhao Chen shook off his hand, "Where does the princess live, Chen Mansion or Hongtai Temple?"

"Chen's house. I went to investigate, but Master Xuanzhi is not in the temple."

Zhao Chen paced to the desk and sat down, "She is sad when she sees things, and she must be in a bad mood."

"I was not in a good mood for the first few days when I went back, but then I got better, and I joined hands with King Qin Se and Ming every day

Shopping, the people of Xiangping Mansion are envious of the Chen family's daughter for finding a caring and good husband."

Liang Zhong spoke, poured tea and handed it to Zhao Chen, and poured himself a cup and drank it all.

Princess Jin is already married, so why should the prince be so concerned. Half a year has passed, and the prince should die.

Zhao Chen was silent.

Yes, Youning has the Seven Emperor Uncles, what is he worried about?

After a long time, he said, "So, King Jin has been in Xiangping Mansion. I won't be leaving anytime soon."

Liang Zhong replied, "They still have to help the prince of Zhongguo to see a doctor, presumably they have to wait for Master Xuanzhi to return to Xiangping, and they won't be able to leave for a while. King Jin's leg injury has not healed, and he relies on a carriage and wheelchair to get around when he goes out, so he may have to weigh where he wants to go."

Zhao Chen picked up the teacup and sipped it slowly.

Zhao Chengyuan is still in Xiangping, and the ghost-faced general appeared in Cizhou again at this time, and the ghost-faced general cannot be him. And his leg is broken, how can he go into battle to kill the enemy?

Qiao Kun is familiar with the famous generals of the Great Zhou, and when he goes to Cizhou this time, as long as he can meet with the ghost-faced general, he can't say that he will be able to see anything.

If the ghost-faced general's legs and feet were the slightest bit wrong, he couldn't escape Qiao Kun's eyes.

Liang Zhong finished his work and retired to Zhao Chen.

As soon as the man reached the door, he heard the prince ask, "Is she fatter?"

Liang Zhong sighed secretly, "The princess buys a lot of food every time she goes shopping, her face is ruddy, and she looks fatter than when she left Beijing."

He waited again, and when he saw that the prince lowered his eyes and stopped asking, he quietly withdrew.

As soon as he left the tent, he heard a low sigh behind him.

"That's good."

"The fish in this river have always been so bullying that they never bite my hook."

Han Youning sat by the river, looking disappointedly at his fishing rod, which had not moved all day. new

And Chen Hengzhen next to him has already caught several fish, and the bucket is almost full. The same was true when the two of them went out fishing before, and in the end, she was only happy when the sixth brother gave her half of it.

Chen Hengzhen turned his head to look at her, "It's okay, it's the same if I caught it."

Han Youning pursed his lips and smiled, "Yes, it's all the same."

Anyway, with the sixth brother here, how many fish does she want, why bother fishing herself?

Chen Hengzhen looked at the girl in the sunset, the glow fell on her face, adding a gorgeous warm color to her, which was very beautiful.

He didn't think his sister was so good-looking before, so he couldn't get enough of it.

He asked, "Master Xuanzhi, it's time to come back, right?"

Speaking of Master Xuanzhi, Han Youning laughed, "The guard who went to deliver snacks came back last night and said that Master Xuanzhi would be here tomorrow. He walked slowly in the carriage, and told the guards to tell me not to hurry and wait for him."

He also deliberately said that he was in a hurry for days, and he must not be able to eat well, and it would be best if he could eat sweet snacks as soon as he got out of the car.

Chen Hengzhen's hand holding the fishing rod tightened.
