In the selection of generals to guard the city gate, there is no problem in the east city, the south city, and the north city, but there is a dispute over the selection of the generals who defend the city in the west city.

According to their respective defenses in peacetime, the area around Xicheng belongs to Xu Huan's defense area. Military control is now in place, and according to the general practice, the former chief of defense is in charge of his own defense zone.

However, defending the city does not mean that just one person can do it.

In terms of Xu Huan's ability, no one will have any objections, but this person is empty-eyed, and he often relies on his old qualifications to disobey the orders of his superiors.

In order to maintain the overall unity situation, it would have passed with a blind eye. But now that the soldiers are pressing, if Xu Huan does not listen to the command again, and the guide is lost, the impact on the entire situation will be disastrous.

The two princes left behind were all their own henchmen, and everyone said everything, and agreed that the guards of Xicheng should be replaced.

Qin Ning didn't say anything, this matter is simple to say, but it is not so simple to implement.

Most of the generals in Lingtu City, after some contact with the second prince, also admired the second prince from the bottom of their hearts and were willing to obey orders.

But Xu Huan is in Lingtu City, he is a time-honored local snake, and he has been in business for more than ten years, and he still has his own appeal. Otherwise, at the military meeting of the former enemy, he would not have had the audacity to speak nonsense and dare to provoke the majesty of the commander of the second prince.

The guards of the East City, the South City, and the North City, everyone with a discerning eye knows that they are the people of the second prince, even if they originally made a fortune in Lingtu City, they have all taken refuge in the second prince, there is no doubt about this.

This time. If Xu Huan of Xicheng is replaced, some local generals who have a grudge with the second prince in their hearts. It is inevitable that the second prince will feel that the second prince is taking this opportunity to exclude dissidents and take the opportunity to cultivate his own power.

Don't underestimate the generals in these places. It is inextricably linked with some bigwigs in the country, and once these things are stabbed, who knows if there will be more trouble.

If such a situation occurs, even if the second prince has the ability to reach the sky, it will be in vain.

Seeing that Qin Ning didn't speak, the second prince knew that Qin Ning might have thought of this. Seeing that the Five Tiger Generals were still arguing, he let the Five Tiger Generals go down, leaving Qin Ning alone.

"Strategist, there's no one else here. If you have any ideas, you can speak freely. ”

Qin Ning smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, this is beyond the control of human beings, this is not a reasonable thing at all. ”

"yes. The second prince leaned all his body on the chair, his face was full of exhaustion, this was not tired, but a kind of helplessness in his soul, "The ominousness of the country still lies in internal friction." Everybody knows. Xu Huan is a general who can fight, but is not suitable for defending the city. However, Xu Huan was moved, even if it was a horizontal transfer. Even a higher-level transfer will attract rumors. ”

"It's nothing to gossip, in case he loses his heart. It's hard to say. Seeing that the second prince was in his heart, Qin Ning didn't hide his secrets anymore.

"Ahem!" the second prince said with a long sigh. "Strategist, I won't tell you anything. That's what worries me. ”

"Your Highness, this can't be helped, the relationship between monarchs and ministers is the most difficult thing to guess in this world. Just don't think about it. ”

"It's unrealistic not to want to. Now, Xicheng is simply a nightmare for this prince, and in the mind of this prince, Xicheng seems to be a huge loophole, as if the enemy can attack from there at any time. Even though this prince has a lot of scruples, but the 100,000 soldiers of Lingtu City, as well as hundreds of people, once ...... This prince is to blame. ”

Qin Ning looked at the second prince, and from the anxious eyes of the second prince, Qin Ning saw the confession in his heart. can consider the overall situation and other people's lives in this way, and the second prince can also do it.

"Your Highness, don't be impatient, the matter of Xicheng is not impossible. ”

The second prince sighed and sat up straight from his chair.

"Could it be that the military advisor is in his chest?" The look in the eyes of the second prince suddenly became warm.

Qin Ning smiled: "Your Highness, I just have an idea. Let's think of it at worst. Once Xu Huan loses Xicheng, we don't lose everything, you think. ”

The second prince's eyes lit up suddenly, yes, just thinking about the disastrous consequences of the loss of Xicheng, under the limitations of this thinking, he completely blocked his thinking.

Qin Ning was very satisfied with the second prince's appearance, at least it showed that the second prince was a decisive leader.

"Let's go, military advisor, don't give up the hard work, let's take a look at the terrain. ”

Just do it, the second prince changed into a tight-fitting uniform, only brought his own guards, and went with Qin Ning to inspect the defense of Xicheng.

To be honest, Xu Huan still has two brushes in the military. The front-line defense of Xicheng District is relaxed and tight, and it has a sense of solidity.

"Ahem, if Xu Huan can be cautious, he will be a good general. The second prince sighed.

"No one is perfect, no one is perfect, and no one can control one's temperament. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as the saying that the nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change. Second prince, as long as the main general does not have an accident in the defense of the front line, there will definitely be no problem, since we are planning for the worst, let's take a look at the situation behind the defense line. ”

The second prince nodded unwillingly.

In a sense, the reason why Xu Huan was able to grab this place in Xicheng District also took a lot of thought. Because this is the richest place in the entire Lingtu City. Here, there is certainly a lot of oil and water.

After passing the street of the defense area, it is the place where the rich families of Lingtu City are located, and the magnificent houses are enough to show the wealth of the owners of the houses.

The neighborhood here is also very wide, three zhang wide and narrow, that is, it is worse than the capital. The second prince and Qin Ning walked all the way, exchanging opinions from time to time along the way, and when it was dawn, they reached a unified vision.

After a short rest, the second prince called a meeting of all the generals.

The second prince especially emphasized that at present, the army of King Yelan is menacing, and he suffered a small loss at the beginning, so he must have held back his strength to regain face.

At this time, the most important thing is to be calm and keep the enemy out of the gate with a strong city defense. The second prince strictly ordered that no one should go out of the city to meet the enemy without permission, otherwise he should be dealt with with the most severe military law.

Everyone obeyed the order, but Xu Huan was a little unimpressed.

The second prince deliberately paid attention to Xu Huan, and such an expression made the second prince very worried.

After the meeting was dismissed, the second prince ordered the generals of all parties to return to their own jurisdictions and ordered Tanma to report instant news without interruption.

News comes from time to time.

The commander of Yelan King's army is Xirong Po, the younger brother of Xirong Zhan, the general of Yelan King, and under the leadership of Xirong Po, Yelan King's army has approached Lingtu City.

Seeing that Lingtu City was heavily defended, the enemy army had already divided into several divisions and surrounded Lingtu City.

The enemy called for battle from outside the four cities......

The second prince's eyes gradually became bloodshot, on the one hand, because of the lack of rest, and on the other hand, because of the constant reports of hostility, which made the second prince a little anxious.

Suddenly, Tan Ma came to report: "Your Highness, General Xu Huan of Xicheng, has gone out of the city to meet the enemy." ”

Hearing the news, the second prince couldn't help but twitch in his heart, he was really afraid that something would happen.

But the subsequent battle reports were all good news, Xu Huan went out of the city, won a lot, and won a big victory!

The second prince was a little relieved, and in a flash, he found that Qin Ning's face was surging with uneasiness.

"Strategist, what's wrong?

Qin Ning thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, don't you think it's strange? In addition to Xirong's defeat, he was eager to save face, and the challenge was reasonable. If this is the case, he will definitely give a death order to his generals, and General Xu Huan actually won a big victory, I am afraid that there is fraud in it. ”

The second prince woke up violently and wanted to send someone to remind Xu Huan, and the horse galloped to report: "Your Highness, it's not good, the enemy is provoking again, General Xu Huan went out of the city, and he didn't want to ambush the troops everywhere, trapping General Xu Huan, and the enemy used a large number of flying machines to rush the guards on the city wall." The brothers defending the city are fighting desperately, and the city gate is still in our hands, but the future is not safe. ”

"Xu Huan mistook me!" The second prince was furious, picked up the sword on the table in front of him, and rushed to Xicheng with Qin Ning.

Before he reached the defense line of Xicheng, Qin Ning saw a lot of routed soldiers fleeing into the city, and Xicheng had already been lost.

Qin Ning grabbed the second prince and said, "Your Highness, it's too late to say anything at this time, fortunately, there was a plan last night, so let's implement it according to the plan." ”

"Okay!" the second prince stomped his foot heavily and nodded helplessly.

Qin Ning said expressionlessly at his own soldiers: "Protect Your Highness and return to the Chinese military tent." ”

The soldiers went back with the second prince in their arms.

When Qin Ning saw the rout, he began to retract and let these rout soldiers follow him.

These defeated soldiers were surprised to find that Qin Ning did not take them in the direction of the city, but walked into a private house.

This is the mansion of the richest man in Lingtu City, and the doorman standing at the door, if you look closely, it is a soldier dressed in disguise.

Seeing Qin Ning bring someone over, he waved his hand and shouted, "Who is it?" ”

"I, Qin Ning, have come to meet with the Five Tiger Generals. ”

The soldier dressed as a doorman was stunned for a moment and said, "Password!"

"The Jedi Strikes Back!"

The soldier dressed as a doorman knew that this must have been sent from above, so his attitude was better: "Please." ”

is worthy of being the richest man in Lingtu City, and the five thousand elite soldiers in ambush in this mansion are really not visible.

This was Qin Ning's idea for the second prince.

In the Xicheng house, the elite soldiers were ambushed, even if the Yelan King could break the Xicheng, he could use the elite soldiers to take advantage of the fact that the other party had just taken the Xicheng, and the foothold was not stable, and the counter-assault was carried out to recapture the Xicheng again.

Qin Ning was not familiar with other generals, and the only one he had dealt with was the Five Tigers. Qin Ning thought that the five tigers were up to the task, so he mobilized the five tigers over.

"The military advisor is clever, but I didn't expect that Xicheng was really broken. When the five tigers saw Qin Ning, the awe in their eyes was already very deep, "Strategist, the brothers are ready, let's do it immediately." (To be continued......)
