Nanchengtou, when it came, there was a light snowfall, and now the snow is all over the sky.

On the vast plain, 10,000 cavalry stood by in formation, their eyes neatly looking at the city walls.

Lu Xing looked down at all the soldiers, and the grains and grains in his heart, and now he has finally pacified the civil strife, half of the appointment with Chu Chu has been done, and the other half should organize the three armies and send troops north.

"Report!" A horseman passed through the crowd of cavalry, holding a roll of blood-stained cotton silk in his hand. All the way unhindered to lead the head of the city, open the cotton silk and kneel and read: "The Great Wilderness Army collided with the Dragon Elephant Army in the north of the Tianshan Mountains, and the bloody battle was slaughtered for thousands of miles, not as much as the Zhuang Ming Wang's Department outflanked the Tianshan defense line, and the Great Wilderness Army has been reduced to a lone army, and the grain and grass will last for ten days at most, so please help quickly!"

"What!" The people at the head of the city looked at each other, and they had not yet recovered from a great battle, and they received an urgent report from the front.

Chen Yexing frowned and said, "What is Chu Chu doing? Defending the Tianshan defense line can be impregnable, why is the army trapped outside the Tianshan fortress?"

"At this time, there is no point in talking about mistakes," Dong Gaozhuo said to Lu Xing, "Shizi, we should immediately go to the rescue with the whole army, the soldiers of the Great Wilderness Army are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, and they will never be defeated in a short time."

Wang Juming touched his beard and said in a deep voice: "Shizi, you might as well listen to me, the Eighth Prince has not gone far yet, I will chase him back, and then ask Da Zhou for reinforcements." This northern land is not just the northern land of Xuejin City, if the barbarians go south, it will harm the entire Central Plains. If reinforcements from the Great Zhou Dynasty can be brought in, the barbarians can retreat."

Chen Wenzhe said angrily: "Ridiculous, in previous years, it was not without precedent for the Great Zhou to let the army participate in the war, but every time the army came to burn, kill and loot in various places, not to mention, and also used troops to disrupt the deployment of our army without authorization, it was not a reinforcement, it was a burden."

Li Tianze said in a low voice: "Even if it is a burden, it is better than nothing, if only the people of the Northland are injured, it is inevitable to be indignant."

The elders of the cabinet have different opinions, some discuss things, and there are disputes over ideas. Lu Xing looked at Qin Wu on the side and asked, "The general is a man of a hundred battles, can he have a good strategy?"

Qin Wu immediately knelt on one knee and said, "Please lead the prince to lead ten thousand horsemen to the north first, the front-line soldiers will definitely boost their morale when they learn that the prince is here in person, and the barbarians will not be able to overcome it after a long battle, so they can retreat from the enemy."

"Where is the son going? Cannot! Never!" Chen Wenzhe shouted, looked at Qin Wu with a serious face, and said, "Now that there is chaos in Xuejin City, the prince is the only backbone, if the prince leaves Xuejin City, it is inevitable that the center will be unstable. It's better to let Lei Ying and Lan Wu lead the ten thousand cavalry to go, and General Qin Wu to go to the snow field to transfer troops as follow-up reinforcements, I can still write a letter to Chen Kongkong, so that she can send troops to rescue Chu Chu as much as she can, and the prince will sit in Xuejin City, so that the arrangement of the northern place can be stable."

Qin Wu said coldly: "I'm afraid that Chen Kongkong won't be able to spare his hand, King Zuo Xian led the four major clans to join forces in the south, and the entire Yinshan front line has already fallen more than half, if it weren't for the previous heavy damage to King Zuo Xian's Heavenly Eagle Department, several important granaries on the Yinshan front line would have to be lost."

"When did this happen?" Chen Wenzhe's face changed suddenly, obviously not knowing about it.

Qin Wu looked around at the pavilion elders with different expressions, and his voice was sarcastic: "The pavilion elders have lived in Xuejin City for a long time, and this time they have organized such a civil strife, it's not strange not to know these things!"

"I advise you, I will never participate in your fight, but if you make the soldiers of the Northland cold, don't blame me for not teaching etiquette in the hands of Qin Wu."

"Bold! Qin Wu, what you say contains evil intentions!" Tang Ling's face stiffened, and he said angrily.

"A few, you might as well listen to General Qin, he is a general of a hundred battles, and most things in the war can't go wrong." Lu Xing bowed his hand to several pavilion elders, and after asking for their acquiescence, he stepped forward to help Qin Wu, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "The general doesn't need to say much, I know what you mean, since ancient times, there has been a saying that the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies. I'm willing to lead the troops, but ......."

"It's just that this thing of leading soldiers is not my specialty......

Lu Xing's words are a little modest, since he was ten years old, he has been treated by Lu Shuang's side, he has read more than 100 military books, and he has participated in dozens of large and small battles. It can be said that he has rich combat experience, and if he really can't say it, it is that he has never led more than 10,000 people

Army.

Qin Wu stood up and said, "It's okay, with Lan Wu's army following, the prince can grasp the general direction."

"Okay, that's it." Lu Xing looked at the elders and solemnly said his conclusion.

"As for the transportation of grain and grass, I will be fully responsible for the elders, the war is urgent, and I plan to lead the army north today."

Song Yan persuaded: "Is the prince in a hurry, it's going to be night today, and the army can't travel many miles. Why don't you recharge your energy and wait for tomorrow to march quickly?"

Lu Xing still insisted on his thoughts, and said, "The battle on the front line is scorching, if I am defeated because I am a moment late, then I am a sinner. Let's start today—"

Song Yan's face was anxious, he wanted Lu Xing to stay not just to recuperate, but he couldn't say it directly, so in desperation, he raised his eyebrows at Chen Wenzhe, Dong Gaozhuo and others.

Chen Wenzhe's expression in the face of Song Yan was a little confused, but he still spoke: "This is a mistake, how can the gains and losses of this city and a place be felt for a while, besides, even if the soldiers march in a hurry to reach the front line of the Tianshan Mountains, it is better to rest and replenish the grain and grass. It must be a good night......

"Actually, it's not the case, it's a day when ten thousand horsemen arrive early, and the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, so we have to be on guard early." Chen Yexing spoke for Lu Xing.

"You!" Song Yan glared at Chen Yexing, endured half of the embarrassment, gritted his teeth and said, "If the prince of the world does not die in the battle with the barbarians, what should he do? Who should be the next king of Seoljin Castle?"

"What is the next king, haven't you Song Yan figured it out, the Great Zhou court relies on the heavens, if we want to use their power, it is tantamount to digging our own grave." Chen Wenzhe's face changed suddenly, and he glared at Song Yan angrily.

Chen Yexing muttered, "What Elder Song said is not unreasonable, it seems that the prince has no descendants for the time being."

"What descendants? That's right!" Chen Wenzhe's face froze, and he suddenly recalled Song Yan's raised eyebrows to him, and immediately understood the reason, and hurriedly said: "The prince should stay for another night, if you are worried about the schedule of the march, why don't you let Lan Wu set off with ten thousand horsemen first, and you can ride a fast horse tomorrow to catch up with the army."

Dong Gaozhuo saw the meaning of several people's words, walked to the side and said a few words to Qin Wu.

Qin Wu understood, and arched his hand: "The prince doesn't need to worry too much, what a few pavilion elders said is not unreasonable, you can ride a fast horse to catch up tomorrow, and you won't delay the trip."

It is rare for everyone to have a unified opinion, but Lu Xing is not easy to refute. If the top and bottom of Xuejin City can unite as one, they can defeat and retreat the northern barbarian army.

All he had to do was nod his head and say, "Okay, in that case, I'll stay one more night." Emotionally speaking, Lu Xing also wanted to stay overnight and set off again, so he said goodbye to a few women, and if he left in a daze, he was afraid that they would be sad about it.

Since the matter was decided, everyone dispersed, and there were many matters for the army to set off, even the elders had their own things to do.

Qin Wu also left, looking at the direction of Ning Hao. Lu Xing's heart jumped open: It is said that Xiao Beisheng is newlywed, and it is probably the same.

For a time, only Lu Xing and Song Yan were left on the city wall.

Song Yan arched his hand and said, "Shizi, there are some things I shouldn't have said, after all, it is your private matter, but since you are the prince, then this is the state affairs of the Northland, and I have to say it."

Lu Xing was a little confused, but he didn't dare to snub Song Yan, and hurriedly said, "Pavilion Elder has something to say, I will listen to it."

"Okay," Song Yan nodded solemnly, this "good" seemed to be used to persuade him, and said with a calm face: "The prince can go to the front line, but he must leave a seed for the north."

"Leave a ......" Lu Xing was stunned when he heard this, repeating the last three words, his eyes were a little surprised, it was hard to imagine that these words would come out of the mouth of the old Song Ge, who had always been serious.

Song Yan gritted his teeth, since he had said it all, and there was no one else at the moment, he let it go.

"Yes, a kingdom cannot be left without a king, and the north land must not be without an owner. There are three major advantages to leaving an heir, one is that you can show your strength on the front line, the second is that you can use it to calm the hearts of the turbulent people in the Northland, and the third is that you can avoid the recurrence of today's disasters. Therefore, it is a matter of great urgency, and if it is done well, it is no less than adding thousands of troops."

This matter of leaving seeds is said so grandly, and it is also embarrassing for Song Ge to be old, this is moved by affection and reason...... Lu Xing muttered in his heart, he was moved by Song Yan's words. This also means that the pavilion elders of Xuejin City have completely accepted his identity as the son of the world, and in order to calm the minds of the pavilion elders, he cannot refuse this first thing.

"Okay, please rest assured." Lu Xing said in a heavy and serious tone, looking at the weight of a strong man's broken wrist.

While Song Yan breathed a sigh of relief, he hurriedly asked, "Has the choice of this family member chosen the son of the family already decided?" If not, Song has a granddaughter of acceptable age, who has been by Song's side since childhood, and can be regarded as proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is an out-and-out lady, and the prince is willing to condescend to ......

"Song Yan! I waited for you to admonish the prince, but didn't you let Huang Po sell melons? You're good, no one in the world has ever seen this, and you praised it first?"

Wang Juming walked out of the enemy tower and said, "Why can't it be your turn to be Song Yan's granddaughter, my goddaughter is already married to the prince, she has a big buttocks, she must be a good master."

These vulgar words popped out of the mouths of the elders, which really made Lu Xing a little unaccustomed.

The figure walked out of the enemy building again, and after careful counting, none of the eight pavilion elders were absent.

Chen Wenzhe arched his hand and said, "The prince still remembers Yang Yuning, you might as well include her in the room, which just solves the problem of her identity."

Lu Xing looked at the eight pavilion elders with black lines on his face, good guys, all of them are waiting to see my jokes.

As for Yang Yuning, if he accepts her, then Lan Wu and Lei Ying are not in a hurry with themselves?

Lu Xing held back the smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "A few pavilion elders don't have to bother, who I am with tonight, I already have a certain number in my heart."

"The prince ......" the elders still want to persuade again.

Lu Xing shouted: "Do you want me to tell the historian about today's events, so that you pavilion elders are willing to retreat?"

As soon as these words came out, the eight pavilion elders left the city wall, all of them were from university scholars, and each of them valued their reputation more important than their lives.
