North Defense Battalion.

Suddenly, there was a rush of horses' hooves!

And those who came from afar cried out with a loud voice:

"Report! Emergency military intelligence! Emergency military intelligence! Kettle, let me see General Ji! ”

Ji Qinglin woke up from a nap, it seems that people are in such a hurry, there must be a very urgent military situation!

"General! General Liu Xi was killed by Zhao Jiuyuan, and the Huguan defenders were in chaos, and the Zhao army took advantage of the situation to cover up! ”

Ji Qinglin was startled from his seat and shouted loudly:

"What? General Liu Xi was killed? It's impossible! No way! On defending the city, General Liu Xi called the second, who dares to call the first? ”

The man was panting and pleading:

"General, can you give saliva to drink? I haven't had water for two days, and several horses have died. ”

Liang Du also heard the bad news, and several people almost rushed into the tooth tent.

"Give him water, quick!"

"You say slowly, what's going on?"

The man who came took the bowl, took a big gulp, and cried bitterly:

"Lord Wang, general, it's Wang Kuang, it's all Wang Kuang's fault!"

"Wang Kuang? Isn't it true that the person in command of the army has not yet been decided? How dare Wang Kuang lead the troops out of the battle without permission? ”

"It's Your Majesty, the prince doesn't know, as early as a month ago, His Majesty had already sent a secret decree to let Wang Kuang lead Huainan, and the two soldiers and horses of Yangzhou secretly went north!"

Ji Qinglin was so angry that he didn't stand or sit, and in the end he could only lament:

"The king doesn't know the minister, and the minister doesn't know the king! Isn't this nonsense? But Wang Kuang transferred troops to the north, why didn't I, a general, know anything about it! ”

Liang Du just shook his head, "I don't even know that I, the prime minister, are in power, how can you know, Qinglin, Your Majesty is angry with me!" ”

Liang Yuzhou squinted at it, Ji Qinglin was already angry, his eyes were red, and he was also puzzled now.

According to the course of history, it should not have deteriorated to such an extent now! How so?

Liang Du suppressed his emotions a little and asked the person who reported the news:

"You're not an ordinary assassin, are you? Can you tell us why the situation in Huguan has deteriorated so quickly? ”

Liang Du had already suppressed his emotions, but when he said the pot off, his eyes couldn't help but be moistened with tears.

The man said with tears in his eyes:

"The prince guessed correctly, I am General Liu Xi's deputy general Si Kou." As he spoke, he wiped his tears with his hands.

He added:

"That Wang Kuang rushed forward, and after crossing the Yellow River, he went straight to Changping, and Zhao Jiuyuan let his general Fu Le and his three sons divide into three ways to surround Wang Kuang in Changping!"

At this point, Si Ko sobbed uncontrollably.

Ji Qinglin still had a hint of luck, at this moment he hoped that Wang Kuang would be the hero who put down the Huainan rebellion praised by the imperial court, but he could only ask carefully:

"Then did General Wang Kuang stick to Changping and wait for help? General Liu..."

He himself was clear, so he was silent when he said General Liu, and today he heard it very clearly:

General Liu has been killed!

Ji Qinglin was stunned, and there was a deathly silence around him.

Si Kou's answer did not give everyone any hope, and his words sounded so pale and calm:

"The four generals sent by Zhao Jiuyuan are all battle-hardened demons who kill people without blinking, where has Wang Kuang's cowardly bag seen this battle, and he surrendered with just one face!"

"Damn, it's really cowardly!" Liang Yuzhou couldn't hold back any longer.

Liang Du seemed to be still thinking about something, and he suddenly asked:

"Then how could General Liu Xi be killed, even if Zhao Jiuyuan incorporated Wang Kuang's troops together, how could General Liu ...... so quickly?"

"Could it be that you all think that General Liu was killed by Zhao Jiuyuan and Wang Kuang after breaking through the Huguan Pass?"

"Otherwise, I really can't think of anyone else who can break through the Huguan Pass and kill General Liu!"

Si Kou shook his head scoundrelly and said with a wry smile:

"He Zhao Jiuyuan has been working hard in Shanxi for many years, and he has been accumulating grain and grass, recruiting troops and horses, but he has always been unable to win the Huguan, even if Wang Kuang's 70,000 elites join it, he will not be able to enter the Huguan!"

Si Kou turned his eyes to look in the direction of Huguan, and the words he took were like a stabbing sword of ice and snow, scraping painfully.

"Wang Kuang's miscellaneous crumbs surrendered on the third day of the siege."

"General Liu received his letter asking for help, in which he said that he led 70,000 elite soldiers to fight Zhao Jiuyuan in Changping."

"Zhao Jiuyuan has poured out of the nest, Taiyuan is empty, please General Liu lead his troops to take Taiyuan, and then the two will work together to attack!"

Ji Qing slapped the table and stood up, and shouted:

"There are so many doubts in this letter, how can you believe it? Zhao Jiuyuan is a good soldier, and the Huguan is still in the rear, how could he make such a mistake? ”

"We also have doubts, so we sent a large number of assassins to keep inquiring about the news around Taiyuan, and the waiters reported that they did see Zhao Jiuyuan out of Luoyang and rushed to Changping!"

Liang Yuzhou couldn't listen to it anymore, this kind of carving insect skills, how could a person who uses soldiers commit it!

He stepped forward, grabbed Si Kou's collar, and asked impatiently, "Then how can you be sure that Zhao Jiuyuan is indeed out of Taiyuan?" You're going to send troops to attack Taiyuan? ”

"This general, you underestimate me and wait, if it's really just like this, we won't get into the trap."

Liang Yuzhou loosened his collar and continued to ask, "Do they have other means?" ”

Si Kou patted his collar lightly and said:

"When we were hesitating, we suddenly received Your Majesty's Shang Fang Sword and Expedited Token, and someone said that Your Majesty had left Luoyang and was ready to go on a personal expedition, and urged us to send troops as soon as possible."

Liang Du was so angry that his mouth was crooked, of course he knew where this Shang Fang sword came from, but Liu Xi's lone army guarding the pot pass did not have this treatment, Wang Kuang was able to hold the Shang Fang sword for the first time when he led the troops, which was really chilling!

"General Liu Xi saw that sword before guarding Huguan, so even if he hesitated in his heart, he could only lead his troops to attack Luoyang."

As if they all knew the ending, everyone was silent.

Ji Qinglin asked in a low voice:

"And General Liu last?"

At this moment, even if the embroidery needle falls to the ground, it is like thunder.

Everyone looked at Si Kou again, he was the only one who knew the truth!

Si Kou looked disappointed, turned his head to stare at everyone, and said:

"Just in case, General Liu only led half of the men to the expedition, leaving half to hand over to me, let me guard the Huguan, and explain to me, once he has something, he will withdraw from the Huguan!"

"That General Liu, he ......"

There was another deathly silence......

Si Ko struggled to control his emotions, and the truth he was about to tell everyone was far more than anyone could accept!
