Shang Yunzhou said: "Otherwise? Lin Shuai received the news and gave the order in an instant, if the order from the General's Mansion came a little earlier or later, then Gao Bo and Jiuqu's people would definitely be noticed by the various departments of our Northern Battalion. ”

Shang Qingzhou hurriedly said: "We have to inform Lin Shuai as soon as possible, in case the General's Mansion is unfavorable to Lin Shuai, wouldn't it be very dangerous for Lin Shuai now?" ”

"That's not it, after all, the General's Mansion is loyal to the Empire, if Lin Shuai dies in the Beida Battalion, the entire Northwest will be in chaos, this is not what the people in the General's Mansion want to see, what they want is just a reason to control the Beida Camp justifiably, and."

Shang Yunzhou sneered: "Even I can see it, how do you think Lin Shuai is still in the dark?" ”

Shang Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Yes." ”

It's just that there is a slight unnaturalness in his smile.

The two brothers were silent for a while, and Shang Yunzhou said, "Qingzhou, do you say this prince is true or false?" ”

Shang Qingzhou was surprised: "You mean Youzhou is deceiving us?" ”

Shang Yunzhou said: "Yunzhou, I know that our people have gone to the imperial capital to verify the whereabouts of the prince, but I think we need to confirm it ourselves, in case the prince is fake, we don't need to wait for news from the general's mansion." ”

Shang Yunzhou hesitated: "You mean that we will send someone to see the prince?" But even if you do, what can you do? Not to mention these soldiers, even we have never seen the prince, how can we judge whether the prince is true or false? ”

"Of course not sending our men to the crown prince."

Shang Yunzhou said: "You forgot, although we haven't seen the prince before, some people in the city must have seen it." ”

"Huh?" Shang Qingzhou was a little puzzled.

Shang Yunzhou stood up and led Shang Qingzhou to the outside of the tent, Shang Yunzhou looked at the outline of Youzhou City in the distance, and said, "Don't you think that this Youzhou City is a little weird and calm?" ”

"Calm? Uncanny? Shang Qingzhou's eyes rolled, and then he was a little annoyed: "Big brother, just say it directly, what do you sell with my brother?" ”

Shang Yunzhou sighed, although his younger brother is similar to his appearance, but the personalities of the two are very different, Shang Yunzhou, as a brother, has been relatively calm since he was a child, giving people an extremely stable feeling, so when he was less than thirty years old, Lin Ye promoted Shang Yunzhou to the general of the front camp, and Shang Qingzhou has a straightforward temperament, and there is no city government, until he was nearly forty years old, he was promoted to the level of monk Yunzhou by Lin Ye because of his military exploits.

Seeing that his brother didn't pay attention to his meaning, Shang Yunzhou had no choice but to explain: "Youzhou City is in the prosperous era of the Wenhui, but the city is full of families, if the prince is really captured by Youzhou, do you think those families will give up if they know the situation?" ”

"What else can they do if they know?" Shang Qingzhou said strangely.

Shang Yunzhou said: "Qingzhou, Lin Shuai once said, never underestimate the energy of the family, it is not unreasonable for these families to inherit for thousands of years, not to mention anything else, just talk about the ancient city of Youzhou in front of us, since the establishment of the four major battalions, the army of the city defense of each state has fallen to the lowest point in history, I estimate that this Youzhou is at most a few thousand new troops, even if you add five thousand soldiers and horses of Jiuqu, only less than 10,000 people, how can they be able to defend this old city of Youzhou?" There must be the participation of the Maison! ”

"What does the eldest brother mean that the people of the family have led the militia and people of Youzhou to defend the city? This, how is this possible? That Youzhou Governor and his soldiers helped Jiuqu's people to fight against us It was a rebellion, how could the family help them, it was found out afterwards. ”

"What if the family doesn't know they're rebels?"

"What do you mean?" Shang Qingzhou's expression froze.

Shang Yunzhou said in a deep voice: "What if we are rebels from their point of view? ”

"Big brother Mo is not joking, then ......"

Shang Yunzhou interrupted: "If the prince is really in the hands of those Jiuqu rebels, then who is rebellious on both sides of us is not a matter of the prince's words?" ”

Shang Qingzhou was stunned, and then his face became ugly: "No wonder, no wonder the resistance of Youzhou City is more tenacious than I imagined." ”

Shang Yunzhou continued: "The reason why I said that Youzhou is calm and a little weird is that, if the family clan knows that Youzhou City is occupied by the rebellion of the previous dynasty of Jiuqu, they will do everything possible to contact the family forces in the city, secretly help us, etc., they don't need to go out in person, they just need to give orders, the city will naturally be chaotic, no matter how bad it is, there will be a trouble, to attract the attention of Youzhou, so that it can't take care of each other, this thing is simply easy for them families, But we didn't hear the ringing of the city, we didn't see the fire that should have been burning in the evening, and the people of the family did nothing! ”

"Still."

Shang Yunzhou's words changed: "There is also a possibility that the people of the family know that the prince was held hostage, and they are also controlled. ”

"Wouldn't that be more troublesome?"

Shang Yunzhou smiled and said: "If this is the case, it will be easier for us to inquire about the situation, after all, it is not clear whether our people know the prince or not. We only need to send someone into the city and ask to meet with the prince and the old man of the family at the same time, if Youzhou refuses to send the prince, then it proves that the prince is fake, if Youzhou refuses to send the old man of the family, then it proves that the people of the family are kept in the dark. It is impossible for those old people of the family not to have seen the crown prince."

"I see." Shang Qingzhou nodded.

What the two brothers didn't know was that Prince Dugu lived in a simple house, and even the old man of the family in Youzhou City had never seen the prince's appearance.

The two were planning in a whisper outside the camp when a soldier ran over.

"Report! Outside the camp, there was a man who claimed to be a messenger from Youzhou, asking to see the two generals. ”

"Youzhou messenger?"

The two brothers looked towards the gate, and a man in a white robe, a white scarf, and white shoes was standing outside the camp, his left hand behind his back, and a folding fan in his right hand, but for some reason he did not unfold the folding fan.

Shang Yunzhou looked at it for a while and said, "Search him and bring him into the tent!" ”

"Whoa!"

Several sergeants led the man in white around the trap and antler array in front of the tent, and when several sergeants were about to search their bodies, the man in white frowned, and he shouted: "Is this how Beidaying treats people from the family?" ”

"People from the family?"

The Shang brothers sitting in the tent glanced at each other, and both of them stood up happily, they had just discussed the affairs of the family, and the people of the family came to them, so that the situation in Youzhou City was about to become clear.

The two of them greeted one after the other.
