"Brother Yidou, I've thought it all through. Tomorrow, I will say that I will calm the heart of the army, and the day after tomorrow, I will lead the pro-army north and fight with the Raozhou army!" Yang He waved his hand and said:

"Tomorrow I will make you a general, are you satisfied? When the morale is lifted, everyone under the royal banner will be brave, and it will be easy to break the official army and a few regiments!"

"Your Majesty's divine power is something that five people can stop." Wang Xi bowed down and smiled, "Then I will thank you here in advance and congratulate Your Majesty. Ignorance...... How is Your Majesty going to confer the title of Marshal?"

"He's already a marshal, do you still want to give it to him?" Yang He didn't seem to think of this question.

"Your Majesty, when Li Yuan got into trouble, he named his son Li Jiancheng as the crown prince, Li Shimin as the king of Qin, Li Yuanji as the king of Qi, Li Xuanba as the king of Wei, and Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty with a yellow robe, and his son Zhao Dezhao as the king of Yan, which are all precedents of the predecessors." Xu Hongzu bowed down and replied.

"Oh, that'...... Seal him to do it, and be the king of Yan!" After Yang He finished speaking, he pointed at Xu Hongzu: "In the future, you, the prime minister, will think about this kind of thing for me. Hey, that's right. Didn't you send someone to call Ah Xing, why didn't he come?"

"Your Majesty, the enemy is advancing, and the marshal must be busy preparing to block it, otherwise tomorrow the enemy will reach the bottom of the mountain, and your ceremony will be disrupted." Wang Xi hurriedly replied, "The marshal also wants to ask you to give an order to let the surrounding troops move closer to him, saying that at least 4,000 troops are needed to barely stop the invading enemy."

"yes, I see." Yang He frowned and interrupted him: "I want soldiers and horses again, he has eight thousand people who can't use it well, how many more do you want?"

Wang Xi smiled awkwardly: "Also, this defeat is really sorry for Your Majesty. The marshal said that he would do his best to ...... this time!"

"Well, needless to say, it's useless!" Yang He frowned and sat up straight: "I will let Luohu's troops go to join him, and he doesn't need to promise me this and that, I just want him to make the ceremony end successfully tomorrow."

As for the Raozhou army, I will lead the troops north to meet Ah Xing early in the morning after tomorrow, and then wait and see how I lead the three armies to break the enemy! Hey, what's the fear of a little officer and army plus a little group training? If you go back and tell Ah Xing, tell him exactly what I said!"

Wang Xi had to agree loudly with laughter, and then withdrew. I had just taken the reins of my horse from my soldier, and I heard the "soldier" whisper, "Someone is coming."

Wang Xi turned over and got on his horse, turned back by the way, and saw that Xu Hongzu had come to the horse, he was about to dismount, but the other party quickly stopped him and said softly: "I came to see off the general, and I have a few words of advice."

"Xiangye, please speak." Wang Xi was surprised that he chased him out and didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly hugged his fists and said.

Xu Hongzu made a gesture and walked towards the camp gate first, and Wang Xi sat on his horse to follow. After walking more than a dozen steps, I heard Xu Hongzu say:

"The lord was favored by Madame Huang, so she decided to be the emperor tomorrow. Everything is ready to be ready-made. How will the general report to the marshal when he returns?"

"Naturally, it's telling the truth."

"Then I'm afraid that the marshal will have a knot in his heart." Xu Hongzu smiled bitterly.

"What does Xiangye mean by this ......?"

"Feng Shuai doesn't approve of Feng Abao being the crown prince, but it's really hard for Wang to say, he doesn't care who the prince is, as long as Yang He says it, he will recognize it! Do you see anything?" Xu Hongzu tilted his face and tilted his head to ask.

"What is Xiangye referring to?"

"I mean that half of the army is still on the marshal's side. But it can't be denied that several people on the camp side are 'Yellow Party faction.'" Xu Hongzu smiled at the word he had invented and continued, "If the Yellow Party is eliminated, the army will follow Ah Xing."

Wang Xi was taken aback, he wanted to look back to see if Yang He had sent someone to follow, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the "pro-soldier" behind him, and he was relieved: "What does Xiangye mean by this? Forgiveness will be foolish."

"Hehe, you Wang Yidou, you really can't hear it?" Xu Hongzu sighed: "The lord is smeared, we can't follow the nonsense!" At this time, it is only right to withdraw the troops quickly, what kind of ceremony and enthronement do you want to make? Alas!.

I'm afraid that the day after tomorrow it will not be us going to fight the officers and soldiers, but people will touch the edge of the quilt and we will beat us up!"

"Yu Jiang...... It's gone."

Xu Hongzu turned around and shuddered

"What did you say? When did you know that?"

"Before I left, there were scattered people who escaped and were contained in Qiligang." Wang Xi replied, "As for whether Jinxi is still there, I don't know. Xiangye had better send some sentry in that direction to take a look."

"Alas! Okay." Xu Hongzu nodded and continued: "Please tell the marshal: Don't be kind to women, you have to learn from Li Shimin, otherwise you will regret it!"

"The last general knows." Wang Xi still couldn't help but look behind him, leaned down and asked in a low voice, "So, ...... Your Majesty?"

"He is too persistent, too eager to live the emperor's addiction. He didn't understand that the emperor's throne was not because of a large number of soldiers, but because of kindness and virtue. Ah Xing has these things, and the lord ......." Xu Hongzu shook his head:

"What is the use of coveting vanity and an unrealistic name? It's just to let him eat, drink and have fun to the extreme.

I thought he was a hero, asking for his life for the people of the world and saving the people from fire and water, but apparently he only remembers the dragon chair now! I'm disappointed!"

"So, Mr. wants to support the marshal to preside over the Jiangshan Army?" Wang Xi lowered his voice very low.

"That's what I mean!" Xu Hongzu nodded, but his eyes looked ahead: "But I don't know what the marshal himself wants?"

Wang Xi was overjoyed in his heart, he wanted to provoke the relationship between the father and son, but now it seems that there is more Xu Hongzu's help. "So-and-so should ask the marshal about it." He replied.

Xu Hongzu was very happy, it would be best if he could put aside this stupid Yang He. He stood by the camp gate and bowed his hand to Wang Xi: "If the general can facilitate this matter, it will benefit the whole army, and it will be a great achievement!" The general will go quickly, and Xu is here to wait for good news!"

Xu Hongzu came out to send Wang Xi, which made Liu Wei suspicious. He came out of the toilet under the pretext of answering the tent, and called Song Zhen and Zhang Zhen to the back of the tent, and whispered to the two: "The surname Xu sent Wang Xi out of the camp, the ghost is very weird!"

"What's so strange about friends giving them away?" Song Zhen is a martial artist, and he doesn't understand the trick here.

"It's strange to be humbled by the superior." Zhang Zhen said.

"Not only that," Liu Wei told them, "I watched the two of them go away slowly, muttering. I don't know what you're talking about?"

"Could it be that Prime Minister Xu has something wonderful to retreat from the enemy?" Song Zhen grinned.

"Not really." Zhang Zhen blinked: "If it's a clever plan, why didn't you say it in front of Your Majesty?"

"Brother has a point." Liu Wei nodded approvingly: "And I noticed Xu Hongzu's expression during the banquet, he was honored as a prime minister, how could he not be happy, but he didn't talk much and drank very little?"

"I seem to feel the same way when you say that." Zhang Zhen frowned: "But, why? It's not good for us to ask directly."

"Of course not." Liu Wei stroked his beard: "What if he is unhappy and meets Wang Yidou?"

"What do you mean?" The more Song Zhen listened, the more confused he became.

"What can he get a correct solution from Wang Yidou?" Zhang Zhen was thoughtful, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "No, it's not Wang Yidou, it's Yang Xing, Wang Yidou was sent by Yang Xing, Xu Hongzu wants to connect with Yang Xing through Wang Yidou!"

"What's so mysterious? If he wants to find Ah Xing, or send a messenger, or come to the door in person, the most unfortunate handwriting can be, where can he use the middle message?" Song Zhen still didn't understand.

Liu Wei suddenly looked at Zhang Zhen, and the two of them said almost at the same time, "Oops!"

"Is this guy crazy? Your Majesty has made him Prime Minister, why should he act like this?" Zhang Zhen said in a trembling voice.

"He didn't agree with His Majesty's accession to the throne, but it just so happened that Wang Yidou came to give him the opportunity to contact Qiligang in the name of righteousness!" Liu Wei gritted his teeth and replied, "Replace Your Majesty with Ah Xing, this guy is a good idea!"

"What? Are you saying that Xu Xiangye is going to rebel?" This time Song Zhen heard it, and the two hurriedly asked him to whisper. "This, this, this can't be, right?" Song Zhen felt incredible.

"What's impossible? Is there still a shortage of powerful ministers in history who have replaced disobedient emperors?" Zhang Zhen sneered.

"Xu Xiangye has always been at odds with his wife, and he always feels that women should not interfere in military politics, and he and Feng Zicai sing and harmonize, and they don't agree with Your Majesty

He will be the son of the world." Liu Wei shook his head and saw through the overall situation:

"If you think about it like this, he will have ten reasons to be dissatisfied with His Majesty, and he will have ten reasons to collude with King Yan and then push him to the throne, and then His Majesty will become Li Yuan behind the Xuanwu Gate, Ah Bao is ......." He didn't continue, just glanced at Zhang Zhen, who was pale.

"What to do, please Sima teach me." Zhang Zhen bowed and crossed her hands, and promised: "After the matter is completed, I will let my sister make Your Excellency the prime minister, and I will never break my word!"

Liu Wei didn't answer immediately, and turned to look at Song Zhen: "It depends on whether General Song is willing to help."

"How does Madame treat Song, how can she not count in her heart?" Song Zhen patted his chest: "Although Mr. Liu orders, I will definitely help you with things!"

"Well, then, I'll be half sure." Liu Wei beckoned the two to come closer, and whispered his plan.

Back in the tent, Yang He asked them what they were doing. Zhang Zhen said to go to the thatched house, and Song Zhen said that some military affairs need to be dealt with. Liu Wei said to see Xu Hongzu send Wang Xi. Yang He wondered, "He sent guests by himself, what's the point of this?"

"If it is a general gift, there is no other, but the Xiangye gives away is different." After speaking, Liu Wei got up and imitated the scene of the two of them walking towards the camp gate while biting their ears.

Yang He saw that he imitated it interestingly, and began to laugh, laughing, laughing, and the smiling face suddenly disappeared. Asked Mrs. Huang, "Can you see anything wrong with Niangniang?"

Mrs. Huang snorted in her nose and said, "Either a woman is a thief."

"Huh? How?"

"Your Majesty, how can you give someone away like this? You see, it's not just biting your ears, it's also avoiding everyone, avoiding your ears and eyes. What can't you say justifiably, and you have to mutter it privately in a place where your majesty's eyes are out of reach?"

Mrs. Huang glanced at Liu Wei. She didn't like that Yang Xing, he was only a few years older than herself, and he was her son's strongest competitor!

"I think, I'm afraid he didn't ask Ah Xing for it, so he ......?" She deliberately didn't say it, and let Yang He use her brain to guess by herself.

Yang He really frowned. He doesn't like this, his prime minister has something to say to his face, he has to go to a place where others can't see and mutter, this thing is not normal!

At this time, Xu Hongzu came back, and Yang He asked him why he had been gone for so long? Xu Hongzu replied that he asked about the number of people, equipment, and morale of the remaining troops in Qiligang.

Liu Wei smiled and said that why didn't he ask about such things in front of His Majesty, and he guessed how the situation of the troops was, and he had to go out to ask for so long?

Xu Hongzu felt that he was yin and yang, so he ignored him. When Yang He saw that he didn't speak, he thought that he was weak-hearted, so he was even more puzzled. Then he called someone: "Xu Xiang is not strong enough to drink, send him back to rest." No one shall be disturbed without a will."

Song Zhen waved his hand, and four soldiers came over to surround Xu Hongzu, and went out of the big tent with the support of the attendants. The incident happened suddenly, Xu Hongzu didn't dare to resist or shout, only got up and thanked him, and then withdrew.

Then Liu Wei praised Yang He's wisdom and decisiveness, saying that he had the style of Tang and Song ancestors. Yang He proudly drank another glass. At this time, Zhang Zhen said slowly, "Xu Hongzu is guilty, please punish Your Majesty."

"Oh, what is the sin?"

"He has a problem befriending the military commander, and His Majesty hasn't noticed? This person united with Feng Shuai against Li Shizi last time, and he was the one who danced the most happily!"

Yang He didn't say anything, and it took a long time before he said, "Send someone across the river to bring Feng Shuai. How can tomorrow's ceremony be without him?"

"Yes...... The troops outside the south gate can't live without a commander!"

"It's okay, let the deputy general Su Meisheng take his place." After Yang He finished speaking, he sighed: "I still miss the old brother, there are old brothers around me to make people feel at ease. I plan to set up a privy council, with Feng Shuai as the privy envoy, and I can sleep well by his side!"

Liu Wei and the others exchanged glances with each other, doesn't this mean that Feng Zicai's military power has been cut in disguise!

"Your Majesty, the minister has advice." Liu Wei bowed and said, "Your Majesty has ascended to the great treasure, and King Yan is the prince." Yang He blinked his eyes for a long time before he figured out that this "Yan King" was his son Yang Xing, and nodded quickly.

"According to convention, the prince is not allowed to lead troops, but the situation in Qiligang is tense now, and he can't do without a commander."

"Hmm, what is Qing's suggestion?"

"Xiao Chen suggested that it would be better for General Song to lead two thousand cavalry troops to Qiligang to take over the army in the starry night. King Yan has a point, the location of Qiligang is indeed important.

Two thousand cavalry can make the strength of Qiligang more foolproof, and when the Luohu troops arrive, it is enough to resist, waiting for His Majesty to personally lead the army to arrive, and the two sides will attack, this way to win!" Liu Wei said.

"In this ......, the pro-army can't be left unattended, right?"

"Your Majesty forgot? Didn't he already send an envoy to invite General Feng back to participate in the celebration, and when he arrived, he could order him to act as the general of the pro-army, and the troops would be blocked." Zhang Zhen said immediately.

"Oh! Makes sense!" Yang He patted his head: "Okay, that's it!"

"Yes! Then the general will take his leave, the military order is urgent, and the minister will take the first step!" After Song Zhen finished speaking, he saluted, and strode out.

Zhang Zhen came to the door under the pretext of sending him off, watched him move the saddle and get on the horse, and said in a low voice: "If Yang Xing comes back obediently, if he refuses to comply, the general should not be a woman!" As he spoke, he gestured with his hand.

"A certain province, sir, rest assured, please wait for the good news of so-and-so!" After Song Zhen finished speaking, he hurried back to the barracks with two personal soldiers.

There were only 2,000 cavalry in the pro-army, but they were all fierce veterans. It is said to be a cavalry, but in fact it is a mounted infantry, and it is very fast in action.

Song Zhen roughly estimated that more than 30 miles, even if the night road would be slower than the daytime, it would be done in about three hours.

Calculated or not, Song Zhen thought that although Yang Xing was good at strategy and calculation, he was young after all, and he would never have imagined that his own people would do it.

However, Song Zhen knew that Yang Xing had hundreds of elite veterans around him, and these veterans would definitely fight to the death, so Song Zhen ordered to bring three hundred crossbows for backup.

He understood what Zhang Zhen meant: If Yang Xing is still alive, Yang Bao can only be the second son forever!

Since ancient times, he has not been a husband without drugs, it was Mrs. Huang who promoted him from the people to a team, and after making meritorious contributions on the battlefield, he became a pro-army commander step by step, Song Zhen, an orphan, had a sister-like complex for Mrs. Huang in his heart, and when he thought of Bao, he left Yang Xing, who was half the master, behind.

There were clouds in the sky, and the moon hid in the clouds from time to time, as if she could not bear to see this scene of cannibalism. The 2,000 troops on mules and horses marched quickly, and when they arrived at Lanfang Village, which was not far from the post.

At this point he could not continue to ride his horse, the movement of two thousand livestock was too loud! Most of the team had to dismount here and go up the hill along the trail on the east side.

As the name suggests, Qiligang is a small hill that extends from northeast to southwest. The official road from Togo passes through the hills. A sealed stream flows along the east side, there is a bridge on the stream called "Dai Bridge", the east of the bridge is Fengxi Village, and one mile west of the bridge is Qiligang Town.

The town is not large, with hundreds of households, and houses and shops are built along both sides of the official road. One mile west from the town office is the highest point in this area, and the locals call it "Daiqiu", but no one can tell where it comes from.

Yang Xing set up a camp on this Daiqiu, gathered the routed troops and prepared to block the invading official army. Wang Xi came back and relayed Yang He's words to him, and Yang Xing was irritated when he heard it, and said:

"Why does he have to be emperor? We raised the army to avoid being bullied by the officials, but not to make our honor guard more powerful and the title on the proclamation longer! I'm not uncommon with this Yan King, whoever wants to be the one who is good at it!"

"Marshal, don't do this, the enemy still needs to be more stable at the moment, and the lord can do whatever he wants." Feng Baishan persuaded. He is Feng Zicai's nephew, so he has long known that his uncle has pressed all the treasures on Yang Xing, so he is extremely loyal.

Although he was not interested in Yang He's eagerness to become emperor, for the sake of the overall situation of the Jiangshan Army, he still tried to stitch up the contradiction between the father and son as much as possible so that it would not expand.

"Haven't I been accommodating him? But everyone should have a limit!" Yang Xing said indignantly, "If you have to be the emperor, this hat is really so fun? you

Uncle once said that half of the generals think now is not the time, and I agree! What's going on now?

The enemy is more than a dozen miles away, and their spies may be eavesdropping on you and me in the grass outside

But my father is singing and dancing, thinking about becoming an emperor and being worshiped as soon as possible! How can this be done for a long time?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a commotion outside. A guard hurriedly opened the curtain and said, "Marshal, there's a fire, it's spreading in this direction!"

"What, there's a fire in the camp?"

"No, no, it is said that it was burned from outside the wall, because our wall is made of bamboo and wood, so it burns quickly. The sergeants were busy putting out the fire, and several stables made of bamboo and straw had been set on fire!"
