Huang Yuanwu looked up and saw Liu Yuan, who came in from outside the tent, dressed in armor, and sighed softly.

In the past few days, the vicinity of the imperial capital has been calm. Including the imperial capital and the Northern Palace, there was no action. The sudden attack on the East Palace's mansion also stopped, and I thought that nothing had happened.

Because none of the enemy soldiers who attacked survived, Huang Yuanwu ordered all the enemy corpses to be activated on the spot, and on the day of burning, it was full of snow, and the dust formed after the corpses were burned, along with the heavy snow, fell around the entire camp.

From that day on, the entire camp entered a state of high tension, patrolling non-stop within ten miles of the surrounding area, and the number of secret posts doubled, for fear of another situation where the enemy suddenly appeared through the teleportation formation.

In the past few days, Huang Yuanwu can be said to be in a hurry.

There was no clue about the affairs of the imperial capital, and the letters he wrote to Huang Zhengchu and Yang Qin were like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no response at all. He wrote twice to ask for a meeting, but there was no reply, and eventually he had to abandon the method.

But if troops are sent to approach Shuinan City now, it may cause the entire Northern Palace's all-out counterattack, and the matter will enter an irreparable stage.

The form of the imperial capital is unknown, and there is no situation where the Northern Wangfu is desperate to attack the imperial capital. Yang Qin of the imperial capital stayed in the imperial capital and controlled the new emperor, while the Northern Emperor outside the city had no intention of attacking. Things seem to have calmed down, but this is no good for the East Palace.

Now, there is another incident of Huang Yongning's sudden disappearance, and in front of Huang Yuanwu, he really thinks that there is only one way to withdraw the army, and the pressure like a mountain is pressing on Huang Yuanwu, but he doesn't know where this pressure comes from.

Seeing Huang Yuanwu's frowns, Liu Yuan took a few steps forward again and asked softly, "Little Prince, what's wrong?"

"See for yourself. Huang Yuanwu handed Liu Yuan the letter from Huang Yongning on the table, and he leaned back in his chair and gently pinched the bridge of his nose.

Although Huang Yongning repeatedly emphasized in his heart that Huang Yuanwu should not withdraw from the army easily, until there was a conclusion about the affairs of the imperial capital, but considering the many consequences and the current situation, the choice of withdrawing the army appeared for the first time in the scope of Huang Yuanwu's consideration, and he even formulated a series of detailed plans for the withdrawal of troops in his heart, such a thing, he would never do it before.

Liu Yuan stood beside Huang Yuanwu, carefully read Huang Yongning's letter, his face did not change in the slightest, and then glanced at Huang Yuanwu, who was still frowning, and said in a deep voice: "Is this why the little prince is worried?"

"Yongning has been taken captive, the enemy still doesn't know who it is, and the palace is now in turmoil, and the supply of materials is already a little unable to keep up. Huang Yuanwu looked at Liu Yuan, a person he could definitely trust, and said what he had been worried about: "If the matter in the imperial capital is not resolved as soon as possible, and there is no Yongning in the interior, I am afraid that something will happen." Now Uncle Xiao and Brother Yu are in Pingjin City, you are here, Senior Ye is nowhere to be found, the people who can take the lead in the palace have heavy things in their bodies, but Yuchen is far from having this ability. ”

Liu Yuan didn't speak immediately, he just "snapped" Huang Yongning's letter on the table, just looked at Huang Yuanwu until then, and then said in a deep voice: "Our palace, when will we let others lead the nose away." Little prince, have you forgotten how to hold a knife?"

Liu Yuan's words were very impulsive, and he didn't have the idea of saving face for Huang Yuanwu at all, his meaning was obvious, could it really be possible to defeat the Dongwang Mansion with such a little difficulty? In Liu Yuan's heart, this was absolutely impossible.

He was ordered to go to the north, pacified all the rebellious ethnic groups and small countries as quickly as possible, and returned to Pingjin City as soon as possible, and then rushed to the front line of the imperial capital as soon as possible, not to cooperate with the withdrawal of Huang Yuanwu.

Huang Yuanwu looked at Liu Yuan, his heart was slightly angry, he frowned slightly, and said softly: "Lord Liu, who are you talking to?"

"It's with you. Liu Yuan didn't back down in the slightest, and immediately replied: "It's not that I forgot your identity now, but that you forgot yourself." You are the prince of the Eastern Palace, the lord of millions of Li people, do you have to retreat in the face of this difficulty?

"If you don't retreat, what if you don't retreat?" Huang Yuanwu slapped the table, got up and glared at Liu Yuan, and said angrily: "Order the whole army to attack? Do you know the current situation in the imperial capital? ”

"Yuanwu Little Prince. Liu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Huang Yuanwu, and said: "Could it be that you sent troops this time just to come to the imperial capital for sightseeing? All the soldiers followed you on the expedition, do you know what it was for? It was to avenge the old prince! Do you think that if you block the news, everyone will not know? You forgot the original intention of the beginning, and fell into the enemy's scheme, their purpose is to let you withdraw the army, why don't you want to think about what will happen to the emperor once we withdraw the army?"

Huang Yuanwu's mood was extremely bad, he didn't think about these things, but the news of Huang Yongning's sudden accident hit him hard, coupled with the changing situation in the imperial capital, as the main general, he had to consider the whole matter, and in the absence of any news channels, it was difficult.

"Go down and rest first. Huang Yuanwu looked at Liu Yuan, his voice was extremely cold, this was also the prelude to an extreme outburst, Huang Yuanwu was trying his best to suppress his anger and prevent it from breaking out: "If there is anything, we will discuss it tomorrow." ”

Liu Yuan also clearly saw Huang Yuanwu's anger, but he didn't have a trace of fear, and when he heard Huang Yuanwu's words, he arched his hand slightly, and said, "The little prince wants to withdraw the army, just retreat." After giving the order to withdraw the troops, the last general will take his personal guards and kill God. After that, without waiting for Huang Yuanwu to attack, Liu Yuan turned around and walked out of the big tent.

Huang Yuanwu gritted his teeth, looked at Liu Yuan's departing back, forcibly suppressed his anger, and only after a long time did he let out a long breath.

He understood what Liu Yuan meant, and he didn't really blame him. Things are as Liu Yuan said, now the troops are dispatched, morale is high, although he has not publicly said the news of his father's death, but after so much time, this matter has become a secret that everyone knows. Especially in the army, everyone knows that the old prince led the troops to the imperial capital, and then the army dispersed and evacuated, and since then he has never seen the old prince, what happened to him is obvious.

The purpose of this expedition, of course, Huang Yuanwu remembers, to avenge his father and the enemy, Yang Qin, this is the first priority, as for who owns the throne of praying for heaven later, Huang Yuanwu never thought about it at all, even if Huang Zhengchu became the emperor, for him, there is nothing. As long as the Dongwang Mansion can be kept, it doesn't matter who is the emperor who prays for heaven.

And what is happening near the imperial capital now has indeed stumbled Huang Yuanwu's hands and feet, making him throw a mouse trap, and he doesn't know where to move.

In this way, the situation of the whole body made Huang Yuanwu extremely big, and the sudden attack of the enemy was nothing more than a purpose, so that the Eastern Wangfu could withdraw its troops.

After calming down for a while, the anger in his heart subsided a lot, and Huang Yuanwu couldn't help but remember what Huang Zhengchu and Xu Xiuping said to him. These two people used different tones and methods to persuade themselves to withdraw the army, Huang Zhengchu's thoughts were somewhat understandable, but why Xu Xiuping did this, Huang Yuanwu still hadn't thought it through.

Huang Zheng originally wanted to be the emperor of praying for heaven, which started from the rebellion of the three kings, Huang Yuanwu clearly knew that the last time he entered Shuinan City, the layout in the city lord's mansion was like the emperor's configuration, and Huang Yuanwu did not have the slightest wave in his heart. What is already known, there is no need to make a fuss. Not to mention that Huang Zhengchu is sitting on the dragon chair now, even if he wears a dragon robe every day, it doesn't matter to Huang Yuanwu. He wanted Huang Yuanwu to retreat, but he was just worried that when he was attacking the imperial capital, the East Wangfu would sneak attack behind.

And Xu Xiuping ......

As soon as he thought of this person, Huang Yuanwu's brows furrowed, and he really couldn't figure out this person's attitude, purpose and position. Let himself withdraw the army, is there any benefit for him?

Whether to withdraw the army, Huang Yuanwu hesitated again, but after Liu Yuan made such a fuss, this idea slowly faded out of his vision.

Since Huang Yuanwu took over the power of the East Palace, he has failed repeatedly, and all the plans have finally come to naught, and he led the team to go on a personal expedition this time, if he returns without success, I am afraid that in a short time, the East Palace will have no possibility of an expedition.

The troops of the Eastern Palace, composed of sergeants who are absolutely loyal to the Eastern Palace, followed Huang Yuanwu on the expedition, no matter what the order was, they understood the ultimate goal, that is, to avenge the old prince. However, if you arrive in the imperial capital and withdraw your troops without doing anything, the impact on the morale of the entire army will be fatal.

can endure the revenge of killing his father, so what kind of prince is he?

Huang Yuanwu's eyes froze, and finally made a decision in his heart.

In the evening, in the camp where Liu Yuan was resting, Ding Jiang and Liu Yuan sat cross-legged on the couch, in front of them, there was a small table, on which a map was placed.

This is a topographic map near the imperial capital, Ding Jiang came to Liu Yuan, mainly to give him a detailed introduction to the current distribution of forces in the imperial capital.

After carefully checking the topographic map, Liu Yuan probably had the whole situation in his mind.

"I can understand the concerns of the little prince. Ding Jiang said softly: "Yang Qin of the Northern Prince's Mansion and the Imperial Capital is not the main threat. Those enemies who suddenly appeared near the barracks through the teleportation array were the biggest troubles, and most of the troops in the province were now ambiguous, and the little prince had already sent people to contact, but there was no response to the Dao now, and it should be a stone sinking into the sea. Now the situation in the imperial capital is like this, if you start the whole body and make a mistake, it may lead to a loss of the whole game. ”

"Of course I do. Liu Yuan glanced at Ding Jiang and said, "It has been more than a month since the troops arrived in the imperial capital, but they have not moved, and before they arrived, I knew that something unpredictable had happened." When I saw the little prince just now, I just wanted to strengthen his determination not to withdraw his troops. As for what to do later, it needs to be discussed in detail. ”

"If we send troops to directly attack the imperial capital now, does General Liu think that in the direction of Shuinan City, will we send troops?" Ding Jiang pointed to the direction of the God Capital on the map and asked softly.

"They won't let us get to the imperial capital. Liu Yuan replied: "Huang Zhengchu wants to be the emperor, he will not allow any forces other than him to approach the imperial capital, once we send troops, he will inevitably send troops to intercept, and then we will fight with the Northern Palace, it is inevitable, and this is Yang Qin of the imperial capital, what he wants to see the most." ”

"That'...... According to General Liu, what should we do now?" Ding Jiang looked at Liu Yuan and asked the question in his heart.
