Chapter 44: Fooled
"Your Highness, you really shouldn't have acted rashly just now." Yu Zheng sighed.
The second prince turned around and looked at the 20,000 horses that had already been taken out of Yanmen Pass, and he also knew that he had been hit by Chen Hu's agitation method.
But now that the matter has come to this, we can only move forward with a hard head.
"Chen Hu, this miscellaneous thing, Wang Ba thing, sooner or later I will give him a good look, I will soak him in the pig cage and cut him with a thousand knives......" The second prince roared incessantly, cursing Chen Hu.
All the benefits that he had hard-won along the way were taken away by him, and he was humiliated in public, and what was even more infuriating was that he actually fell in love with him, he clearly did it on purpose!
After scolding for a while, the second prince turned his head and asked, "What do you say now?" The palace has 20,000 horses, and it feels unconfident, to be honest, will the people of Qi really be willing to give up the Dragon Tooth Pass, and there are still five cities? Especially the princess of Qi is not in our hands now, what if the people of Qi ask for one hand and one hand over the city? ”
"This ......" Yu Zheng hesitated for a moment, and then thought about it, "Didn't he say that he would personally lead the army to follow after finishing the business, let's slow down the army and wait for him to go, in addition, send someone to sneak into Yanmen Pass to see what he is doing and why he wants to delay such an important matter." ”
"Yes, if you want to say that this matter is really strange, why did he let go of his fame and fortune and stay in Yanmen Pass, what did he want to do?" The second prince also frowned and said puzzled.
When the words fell, the second prince said to a guard beside him, "You take someone to sneak into Yanmen Pass to see what Chen Hu wants to do." ”
"Yes!" The guards bowed and clenched their fists, then turned around and walked away quickly with a few people.
The scorching sun is gradually setting in the west, and there is a hint of coolness in the air, which is the case in early spring, when there is a sun, it is very warm, and the sun is just gone.
The second prince had already slept a long time in the carriage, and just when his stomach was rumbling and he was about to find something to eat, the guards ran to him tiredly, panting and said, "Second prince...... The investigation is clear. ”
"What is the reason?" The second prince curiously poked his head out of the carriage and asked.
"It turns out that Chen Hu came to Yanmen Pass not to take over the Dragon Tooth Pass at all, but to bring a secret decree to ......"
"To the point, do you want to die in a hurry?" The second prince said anxiously.
"He came here to lead troops to quell the rebellion, and the Nine Princes want to rebel." The guards went straight to the point.
"Really?" The second prince was stunned.
"The subordinates' sentences are true, I don't believe you asked them, we not only heard it with our own ears, but also saw with our own eyes that Chen Hu had already set off with his troops, at this time the Yanmen Pass has been closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave, if it weren't for the fact that I was quite familiar with the general guarding the city and sent some money, I almost didn't come out." The guards swore an oath.
"Your Royal Highness, this matter should be true, the Nine Princes are going to rebel has long been rumored, and now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the Emperor Taishang has taken the opportunity of recovering the Dragon Tooth Pass in order to eradicate the troubles, and seconded the men and horses of Yanmen Pass to destroy the Nine Princes, but he was unprepared to attack him."
"Emperor Taishang's move can be described as extremely clever, before you bring your troops to Longya Pass, Qi State will definitely not rashly launch an attack on Ming State, so that Yanmen Pass has a short crisis."
"In addition, the territory of the Nine Princes is the closest to this place, and the Nine Princes definitely didn't expect that the Emperor Taishang would kill him at this time."
The strategist on the side, Yu Zheng, thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
"My father is really eccentric, not only gave up the throne to Zhu Yuanjie, but also planned for him, and the palace ...... Those who work hard but don't get any benefit. The second prince said angrily.
"Your Royal Highness, I think it's better to go to the Dragon Tooth Pass to see the situation first, maybe Qi Guo really kept his promise to give you the Dragon Tooth Pass, and then you will be a great achievement, and you can be regarded as having qualifications, after all, Chen Hu doesn't know how long he will be entangled with the Nine Princes, and it will be difficult for us to go back to Yanmen Pass." Yu Zheng suggested.
The second prince frowned and thought for a while, "Don't worry, don't worry, let's set up camp ten miles away from Yanmen Pass, sit and wait for him Chen Hu to turn out, he succeeded, let's set off quickly, if it fails, it will be destroyed by the Nine Princes, it is not in line with the heart of the palace, when the time comes, let's go back to Yanmen Pass first to regain the military power, so the palace is not in power." ”
Yu Zheng was speechless for a moment, and secretly rolled his eyes at the second prince, what the hell are you going to be smarter.
As the shadow son of the Qi State, Yu Zheng naturally wanted the second prince to throw himself into the net, and then the 500,000 troops of the Qi State came to capture the Yanmen Pass in one fell swoop.
If the second prince doesn't go, this news will naturally be sent to Qi Guo as soon as possible.
Fortunately, the army will bring carrier pigeons, several of which are used to communicate with the Qi State.
In the evening, when the army had eaten and rested, Yu Zheng released the carrier pigeons in the forest.
……
At that time.
Chen Hu sat under the tree on the side of the road from Yanmen Pass to the imperial capital, and after listening to the report of the spies, the corners of his mouth curled and said, "This reckless man also has a bit of a brain, if he goes to Longya Pass alone, he will definitely die, and now he is sitting and waiting outside Yanmen Pass, but he has a little vitality." ”
"Grandpa Zhou, order the whole army to speed up the action, we must enter our ambush circle before the arrival of the Qi State, this time I will let the 500,000 troops of the Qi State have no return!" Chen Hu then ordered.
"Your trick can be described as extremely clever, but don't worry, it takes at least two days for the carrier pigeon to reach the Longya Pass, and it takes ten days for the 500,000 army to march even if it is a rapid march, let's use this trail to bypass the Yanmen Pass, although the speed is much slower, but five days is enough, the 500,000 army of the Qi State will be the same as you said, the turtle in the urn!" Zhou Botong said with a smile.
"It's a pity that the 500,000 army of the Qi State was destroyed, just to suspend their threat to the Ming Kingdom, we are not able to take back the Dragon Tooth Pass, but in the near future, I will definitely fulfill the wish of the Emperor, and I will also find out who killed my father." Chen Hu said helplessly.
After the words fell, Chen Hu stood up and led the army along the fork in the road in another direction.
