Jianzhang Palace.

Shi Hu was pacing in front of the majestic platform like water, pacing back and forth, Shi Jian, Shi Bin, and Shi Zunren on one side did not dare to take a breath, they could only look at their noses, noses, mouths, mouths, and hearts, and bow their heads there, silent.

Yiyang Gong Shi Jian, Yan Gong Shi Bin and Pengcheng Gong Shi Zun all had some soldiers and horses in their hands, and they were the sons of Shi Hu, after determining that the rebellion had nothing to do with the three of them, Shi Hu immediately summoned the three of them into the palace to discuss the plan.

They had never seen such a restless stone tiger. From childhood to adulthood, in their impression, their father should be mighty and domineering, invincible, and nothing seemed to move Shi Hu.

Two hours after sending Liu Ba to summon the crown prince Shi Xuan, Shi Hu felt that something was wrong, and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, so he sent dozens of Longteng guards, or freshly dressed angry horses, or disguised Longteng guards, and ordered them to go to the garrisons near Yecheng to summon soldiers and horses into the city.

But now two hours have passed, and there is not even a little movement?

What about Shi Min? What about Kui'an? What about Li Nong? And their respective tribes? Not a single one!

There are only two reasons why this will be the case.

First, the Dragon Teng Guards sent out by Shi Hu were intercepted and killed halfway, and their will could not be conveyed.

The second is that the soldiers and horses have been bought by the prince Shi Xuan. He Shihu is now a traitor!

The latter is unlikely, after all, Shi Hu has basically determined that the coup d'état that Shi Xuan is going to launch is not a long-planned coup. In this case, there is only one possibility, that is, the Dragon Guardians who went out to deliver the decree were ambushed and all of them have been killed.

"King! King! ……”

At this moment, a shouting suddenly sounded outside the hall.

Shi Hu looked back and saw two dragon guards carrying a scarred cloth-clothed man, rushing into the main hall in a panic.

Shi Hu's heart chuckled, and he shouted, "What happened? ”

There was still blood at the corner of his mouth, and the man in cloth with bruises all over his body was the Dragon Guardian who had been disguised and transformed. The dragon guard held his breath, and with the support of the two, he said urgently: "King, we have been ambushed!" All the Dragon Guards who went out with me died in battle, and none of them survived! ”

Hearing this, Shi Hu's eyes widened, and he looked incredulous, and then he waved his hand and said, "You retreat first!" ”

"No!"

When there were no more idlers waiting for him, Shi Bin stepped forward and said, "Father, it seems that Shi Xuan really has the intention of usurping rebellion, and he has already begun to act. Since the Longteng guards sent out in several ways have been ambushed, there must be Shi Xuan's spies in the palace, or by your side, Father Wang! Otherwise, Shi Xuan would never have been able to kill the Dragon Teng Guardian you sent out to deliver the decree so quickly and accurately! ”

Shi Hu said in a deep voice: "Fierce Zhuan dares to do this!" It seems that it is impossible for me to summon all the troops and horses into the city in advance. Shi Bin, Shi Jian, Shi Zun, how many soldiers and horses do the three of you still have? ”

"Erchen has 50,000 soldiers and horses! However, they were all stationed in the Zhanghe camp and could not enter the palace for a while. If the rebels attack the city suddenly, I don't know if they will be able to catch up with it. ”

"Anyway. Shi Bin, you set off immediately, I will give you five hundred dragon guards, and then give you a will and a tiger talisman, and rush directly to the Zhanghe camp! Before it gets dark, make sure you march your army into the city! Rise up and be the king! ”

"No!"

With the escort of these five hundred dragon guards, Shi Bin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. In this way, no matter how many assassins Shi Xuan sent to intercept and kill, Shi Bin was fearless.

Shi Bin is still very clear about how strong the combat effectiveness of the Dragon Guards is, not to mention that one is ten, but a regular army of tens of thousands of people is afraid that it will not be able to stop the breakthrough of these five hundred Dragon Guards!

"Shi Zun, Shi Jian, what about you? How many more men can you come up with now? ”

Shi Zun said with a sneering face: "Father, have you forgotten?" Erchen is now under the command of Lord Kui'an, and if he wants to transfer troops, he still needs to ask Lord Kui'an. ”

"You go to Kui'an now!"

Shi Hu looked violent and arrogant and said, "Bring my will and tiger talisman!" I will also give you a sword of Shang Fang, and if you do not obey or rebel, you should behead him and lead his army! ”

"No!"

"Shi Jian, what about you?"

"Father, Erchen doesn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands, but Erchen is now serving in the city guard, as the deputy commander, in a hurry, and if you get your instructions from Father, you should be able to gather more than 10,000 soldiers and horses!"

"Then you go! The city guards are now under the control of Wei Yin and Cao Bao, you don't have to ask him, how many soldiers and horses there are, you can pull out as many soldiers and horses! ”

"The retainers obey!"

To be honest, Shi Hu doesn't trust anyone now, he is suspicious of everything, he is suspicious by nature, and he has no perfect plan, but everything must be done in all aspects.

Shi Hu won't gamble easily!

"Sco!"

"The minister is here!" A figure flashed out from the pillar on the side of the Majesty's platform, and it was none other than the Grand Commander of the Hanging Mirror Division, Shi Ke.

"Among the seven armies near Yecheng, who has taken refuge in Shi Xuan?"

"This ...... At present, it is certain that the old department of Qin Gong Shi Tao has no leader because of the death of Qin Gong, and its subordinates have been bought by Shi Xuan. Our Hanging Mirror Division lurked beside Ma Qiu's intermediary report, Ma Qiu has made it clear that he will help Shi Xuan to rebel, last night, Ma Qiu has already begun to deploy troops! As for the three armies of Li Nong, Shi Min and Kui'an, there is no definite news at present, and there is no change for the time being. ”

The seven armies stationed near Yecheng include Shi Xuan's Donggong guards, the late Qin Gong Shi Tao's department, Yan Gong Shi Bin's department, Changshan County Gongshi Min's department, Fujun General Li Nong's department, Taibao Kui'an Department, Long Xiang's General Ma Qiu's department, a total of seven military horses, and its strength is no less than 500,000!

Of course, it is said that it is the garrison near Yecheng, but in fact, not all of them are stationed in Yecheng, not to mention that it is difficult to dispatch, just the huge amount of food and salary is enough for Yecheng to bear.

"So, so far, among the Seven Armies, Shi Xuan has received the support of the East Palace Guard, Shi Tao, and Maqiu Guards?"

"Exactly."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Shi Hu said in a deep voice, "Among the armies, except for Shi Min's soldiers and horses, who can still work together, all of them are Han Chinese, the rest are mixed, good and bad, Li Nong, Shi Bin, and Kui An may not be able to gather all their subordinates, I see that many of the generals under their command have been bought by Shi Xuan, or are watching from the wall." ”

"What do you mean, my lord?"

"Shi Min has 50,000 soldiers and horses, and he has no objections, I want you to go to the Zhanghe camp immediately, pass the decree to Shi Min, and order him to lead his troops and horses into the city Qinwang! There are 50,000 Han troops under Shi Min's department to defend to the death, which should make my Yecheng not lose and make my Jianzhang Palace safe! ”

"No!"
