"Your Highness, this horse riding technique was learned in the palace?"

"Hmm."

Yu Wenhu admired: "In the past few years in Beifu, I have heard a lot of negative news about His Highness, and it seems that some people are deliberately smearing His Highness. ”

"What did they preach?" Shen Ye looked straight ahead with his eyes and asked expressionlessly.

"In order to prevent His Highness from being injured and dying, let His Highness only be familiar with poetry and books since he was a child, and forbid His Highness to touch war horses and weapons."

Shen Ye smiled: "Others also say that the general of Beifu is a reckless man, and he is brave and unscrupulous, isn't it not true to his words?" ”

Yu Wenhu's eyes widened and said, "Huh? Says who? I'm going to pull out his tongue! ”

Shen Ye: "......"

A few chirps rang out in the night sky.

Shen Ye couldn't help but look nervous, and hurriedly restrained the moving war horse.

"Your Highness, this is an early warning from the Yizhou military post, and it is a person from the imperial court."

Although Yizhou is not as full of beacon towers as Dizhou in the northwest, Dongdaying still set up a large number of post stations and secret posts along the official road, the purpose is to prevent the Baiyi tribes in the mountains and forests from coming out to make trouble.

After a while, a few horsemen galloped in front of him, and the leader seemed to be an officer, he rode to Yuwen Hu, frowned and asked, "Which city are you cavalry?" Is there an order? ”

Of course, a lieutenant didn't need Yuwen Hu to answer in person, and the soldiers beside him said: "We are the Beifu Iron Cavalry, and this is our General Yuwen." ”

"Beifu Iron Rider? General? The lieutenant was taken aback and shone the torch at Yuwenhu.

"This general Beifu Yuwenhu, on the order of the old lady, came to Yizhou to carry out a secret military mission." Yu Wenhu said lightly.

The captain's eyes were a little vigilant: "Beifu Iron Cavalry? But I don't think you're dressed like the army in Beifu, and when it comes to carrying out tasks, do you have orders from the General's Mansion or my Eastern Battalion? ”

Yu Wenhu threw his token over, frowned, and said, "We don't have time to talk nonsense with you, hurry up and give way." ”

The lieutenant took the heavy token, and when he saw that it was indeed the sign of the North Mansion, he couldn't help but be secretly frightened, he carefully returned the token, and said, "The general needs my help from the East Battalion?" There is a guerrilla battalion stationed 10 miles away in our eastern battalion. ”

"No need." Yuwen Hu waved his hand, and the army continued to move forward.

"Why don't we call for help from that battalion?" Shen Ye asked, he was a little puzzled, now is the time when there is a shortage of people, and the addition of the guerrilla battalion will greatly increase their strength.

"It's better for His Highness the people of the East Camp to stay away." Yuwen Hu said in a deep voice.

Shen Ye took a deep breath and said with a slight annoyance: "Could it be that compared to the people of Jiuqu, Dugujing's people are more dangerous?" ”

Yuwen Hu was stunned for a moment, and heard the dissatisfaction in Shen Ye's tone, he didn't care and said: "In my eyes, there is no difference between them, and even if Dugu Jing has no dissenting intentions, I don't want to deal with Dongdaying, because I don't trust those people below him." ”

"You seem to have some grudge against Dugujing, is there any grudge between you?"

Yu Wenhu shook his head and said, "Your Highness has misunderstood, I don't have any grudges with him, it's just that what he has done over the years makes me feel that this person is very dangerous." ”

"Among these brothers of the Dugu family, the first emperor and the saint were both born to the old lady, and their personalities are relatively similar, except for the two of them, the people of the Dugu family, one is the younger Dugu Ling, and the other is the oldest Dugu Jing."

"Isn't there another Duguying in the West Camp?" Shen Ye thought of those people in the Anti-Dugu Alliance.

"Duguying is just a doll, I met him once, he was a child at that time." Yu Wenhu continued: "I have to say that these people in the Dugu family are all born commanders, and Dugu Jing has a talent in leading troops, he also has a strong point, that is, Soma. ”

"Soma?" The figure of Jiugao appeared in Shen Ye's mind, how would Jiugao choose if he left, would he find a chance to escape and look for himself, or follow Xue Mu and them into the mountains and forests of Yizhou.

Yu Wenhu interrupted Shen Ye's thoughts: "Dugu Jing's horse is different from the traditional horse horse, when he was young, he not only chose good horses, but also liked to pair war horses at random to breed new breeds, and the dark cloud horse ridden by our Beifu Iron Horse was bred by Dugu Jing." ”

Shen Ye was slightly surprised, and then said in admiration: "Isn't that King Jing a great meritorious?" ”

"That's the problem." Yuwen Hu smiled bitterly: "Dugu Jing cultivated the dark cloud horse, but did not equip his subordinates, but dedicated thousands of war horses to the first emperor, so I have this Beifu iron horse in my hand, it can be said that the establishment of the empire and Dugu Jing have an inseparable relationship, but because of this, there is a problem with his reward." ”

Yuwen Hu sighed: "Originally, the first emperor gave Dugu Jing the command of the entire army of Dongzhili, and he didn't say anything, but as his brother Dugu Ling, whose merits were far inferior to him, got Nanzhili, and Dugu Ying, who had no trace of military merits, got Xizhili, Dugu Jing began to be dissatisfied, as far as I know, he even wrote a letter to the old lady, asking the old lady to ask for credit for him. ”

Shen Ye said strangely: "With the military strength of the four eastern states of Zhili, such a great power can't satisfy him?" ”

Yuwen Hu said in a deep voice: "What he wants to ask the first emperor for is the throne. ”

Shen Ye was stunned.

Yu Wenhu said slowly: "The son of the first emperor...... The first emperor has no heirs, and the future ownership of the empire has been a topic of discussion among all parties in those years, according to the military merits and the prestige of the Northern Mansion, Dugu Jing is indeed the best choice, but at that time, the first emperor meant to swing between your father and the next generation, I heard the old lady say back then, the first emperor was somewhat moved to pass on the throne to Dugu Yu. ”

"Dugu Yu?"

"Dugu Ling's eldest son should be His Royal Highness's cousin according to his age."

Yu Wenhu's expression suddenly became a little weird, he stared at Shen Ye tightly and said, "Your Highness should also know about what happened later, the first emperor died suddenly at night, and then instructed the emperor to pass the throne to your father." ”

Shen Ye responded: "Don't look at me like that, I don't know these things at all." ”

Yu Wenhu retracted his gaze and said sadly: "It is rumored among the people that the Holy Lord and the Emperor joined forces to kill the first emperor. ”

Hearing the general say this directly in front of him, Shen Ye was a little moved, it seems that Yuwen Hu has special feelings for Duguli, and he actually said such a big rebellious thing in front of the prince.

"After the saint ascended the throne, although several princes of the Dugu family were unwilling, they had nothing to say, only Dugu Jing, who even openly used the excuse of training troops at that time, and led hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the East Battalion to deter the imperial capital, I think from then on, this prince has the heart of rebellion and usurpation."
