Chapter 111: Rescue Plan
Kan Yue and Chen Tian both looked at Ke Hong together, they never thought that Ke Hong would say such a thing in front of them, don't forget that Kan Yue is a princess, if she said these words to Emperor Panning, then Ke Hong will be in a catastrophe, and the emperor will not be able to leave such a general.
Although this situation is very small, it is still possible after all, Ke Hong can say this, it is enough to see that he is really loyal to Kan Jie, just like he said, no one can change his loyalty.
At this moment, a maidservant girl walked into the main hall and said respectfully, "General, the meal is ready." ”
Ke Hong nodded, motioned for the maid to leave, and said respectfully to Kan Yue: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the meal is ready, please go to the side hall for dinner." ”
"There's General Lauco!" Kan Yue stood up and said.
Chen Tian also took Xiaoyu to get up, and the three of them followed Ke Hong to the side hall, and the first thing they saw when they came to the side hall was a table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and all kinds of precious ingredients were made into various delicacies, filling a huge round table.
Ke Hong gently pulled away the chair of the main seat and said respectfully: "Your Highness, please!" ”
Kan Yue hesitated, but sat down on the main seat. After Kan Yue sat down, Ke Hong looked at Chen Tian, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, Chen Tian was not polite, sat down next to Kan Yue, and pulled a chair on the side, and put Xiaoyu on the chair.
Because Xiaoyu was too small, she couldn't see the table at all when she sat in the chair, so she got up and stood on the chair, put her hands on the edge of the table and looked at the table, and after not seeing her favorite rice, she pouted and sat on the chair with her ass, lacking interest.
Seeing this, Kan Yue smiled and said to Ke Hong: "Trouble General Ke to prepare a pot of rice." ”
Ke Hong was stunned, obviously a little confused, but he still did so and ordered his subordinates to fetch a pot of rice.
After the servant brought the rice, Kan Yue stretched out her hand to take it, and then handed it to Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu's eyes lit up, and she took the rice bowl and was ready to eat it, but she seemed to feel that it was inappropriate, looked up at everyone, and then ran to the side with the rice bowl and ate it herself.
Seeing Xiao Yu holding a rice bowl about the same size as himself and eating on the side, the corners of Ke Hong's mouth couldn't help but pull, Kan Yue saw this and explained: "She eats a little too much, just leave her alone." ”
"Yes!" Ke Hong nodded with a strange expression, but he would still glance at Xiao Yu from time to time, even Xu Shu and the maid who were standing on the side would glance at Xiao Yu from time to time, they had never seen such a child who could eat.
After all, Ke Hong was a great general, and his expression quickly returned to normal, and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, I wonder if you have any good plans to rescue General Kan Jie?" ”
Hearing Ke Hong mention this question, Kan Yue also set his eyes on Chen Tian, Chen Tian picked up a piece of mountain and sea delicacies and put it in his mouth, raised his head and asked, "General Ke, has there been any major war in the Panning Kingdom recently?" ”
Ke Hong pondered for a while, and then said: "About ten days later, the Longwu Empire may storm the west of the Panning Kingdom, and the little brother asked what is this?" ”
"Assault, how many troops are there?" Chen Tian asked.
"No less than 300,000." Ke Hong replied.
"And how many troops are there guarding the west now?" Chen Tian continued to ask.
"Less than 200,000." Ke Hong replied impatiently.
"That means sending troops from elsewhere to support the west." Chen Tian tapped his fingers on the table and said slowly.
"Theoretically, that's so." Ke Hong nodded.
"Then where do you think you will send troops to support the west?" Chen Tian continued.
Ke Hong lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then analyzed: "There is the Yang Chong Empire in the east, it is impossible to transfer troops from the east, it is impossible to easily transfer troops in the imperial city, and it is most likely to transfer troops from the north and south. ”
Chen Tian shook his head and said, "It's impossible in the north!" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Ke Hong said suspiciously.
Chen Tian glanced at Kan Yue and said with a smile: "The troops in the north must always be on guard against the empire, and it is impossible for the royal family to transfer troops from the north." ”
Ke Hong only then remembered the marriage with the empire that had been rumored in the past few days, and now that the protagonist of the marriage appeared here, he probably guessed what happened.
Thinking of this, Ke Hong glanced at Chen Tian more, and also understood the meaning of Chen Tian's words, a big country like the empire will definitely not swallow his anger when he encounters the shame of robbing marriage, for the sake of safety, the royal family will only strengthen the defense of the north, and it will never be possible to transfer troops from the north.
When Ke Hong looked at him, Chen Tian also looked at him, the two looked at each other and smiled, Ke Hong said: "Then we can only transfer troops from the south now." ”
Chen Tian looked at Ke Hong and said with a smile: "What will General Ke do?" ”
Ke Hong laughed and said: "Now there are often foreign invasions in the south, and there is no extra force to transfer to the west, and the last general is powerless. ”
Chen Tian laughed, picked up the wine glass on the table, touched it with Ke Hong, and then drank it all, Ke Hong also drank the wine in the cup, and the maid behind him hurriedly filled it for the two.
Chen Tian picked up his wine glass and shook it lightly and said, "Since the south, the south and the east cannot send troops, then we can only transfer troops from the imperial city to support the west, General Ke, do you think the emperor will send that general there?" ”
Ke Hong said slowly: "It is no surprise that it should be General Yan Xu, his position is second only to General Kan Jie, and he is also the commander of the Imperial City Guards, holding 500,000 troops. ”
"Are you sure?" Chen Tian continued to ask.
"I am eighty percent sure, now the Panning Kingdom is considered to be on the bow, and it has to be sent, once the west is lost, it will not be far from the destruction of the Panning Kingdom." After speaking, Ke Hong glanced at Kan Yue, and when he saw that her expression was as usual, he was also relieved, and it was a little disrespectful to say that the country was lost in front of the princess.
Chen Tian nodded and said, "After all the guards of the Imperial City are transferred, how many troops are there in the Imperial City?" ”
"And fifty thousand Praetorian Guards." Before Ke Hong could speak, Kan Yue on the side said.
Chen Tian nodded and said, "The fifty thousand Praetorian Guards plus the hidden masters in the Imperial City, although the odds of winning are still very small, but at least there is still a little chance of winning. ”
Then he looked at Ke Hong again and said, "General Ke, the reason why you didn't send troops must be guessed by the emperor, aren't you afraid that the emperor will blame you?" ”
Ke Hong said with a smile: "Now the emperor's headache is the foreign enemy, and he won't move me in a short time, after all, he still wants me to guard the south." ”
Chen Tian nodded, didn't speak again, and began to taste the delicacies on the table, now they only need to wait, wait for the emperor's order to transfer troops, and wait for the imperial city guards to leave the imperial city, then it is a good time for them to make a move.
After eating a meal, Ke Hong arranged a place for Chen Tian and Kan Yue, which was a luxuriously decorated manor, with dozens of rooms, because Ke Hong didn't know the relationship between Kan Yue and Chen Tian, he had no choice but to arrange it like this.
That night, as soon as Ke Hong returned to the room, a piece of jade slip on his waist flickered, he took off the jade slip, and an indifferent voice came from it: "Quickly lead 200,000 people to reinforce the west." ”
Ke Hong's eyes were indifferent, he heard that the owner of the voice was the emperor, and this jade slip was the special sound transmission jade slip of General Kan Jie and him, but now it was in the hands of the emperor, it seemed that what Chen Tian and the others said was true.
He picked up the jade slip and said, "Emperor, the south is often invaded by foreign enemies now, and I am afraid that there are no extra troops to reinforce the west. ”
