It is said that Sun He's knife was taken by surprise, and it was stabbed when Shen Yue turned around unprepared, it should be foolproof, even if he couldn't kill Shen Yue, he would be seriously injured. But Shen Yue seemed to have long eyes in the back of his head, and he seemed to know in advance that Sun He was going to make a move on him, and when the tip of Sun He's knife was about to stab him, he turned around sharply and waved the sword in his hand to block Sun He's knife.

The two of them attacked and defended in an instant, and the people next to them were so shocked that their mouths had not closed when Sun He took out the knife, and Shen Yue had already blocked the knife and took a step back.

"So you really have a problem. ”

Shen Yue shook the sword in his hand and looked at Sun He with a puzzled expression and said: "The candidate for the crown prince has been decided, what will King Cheng do is to rebel and rebel, besides, you and I are very clear about the person who becomes the king, if he inherits the unification, it will be the people of the world who will suffer, don't you understand?"

Sun He said expressionlessly: "You don't have to tell me these big truths, people don't kill the heavens and the earth for their own sake, I only care about myself, what does the life and death of others have to do with me?" So I don't think there is anything wrong with my choice." ”

Shen Yue said angrily: "You and I have worked together for many years, I didn't expect you to be such a person, since you are obsessed, don't blame me for not remembering the old love!"

Shen Yue pulled out his sword, and at the same time said to Qi Wu: "Go and inform His Royal Highness the Prince!"

After saying that, Shen Yue's sword had already attacked Sun He, and while Sun He was attacking, he shouted: "Stop him." ”

Thirty or forty people gathered here, the dozen or so archers were Sun He's people, and a dozen or so people were Sun He's people, and the nearly ten people who stood at the entrance of the city tower with Qi Wu were Shen Yue's people, and now these people have understood what is happening.

With Shen Yue and Sun He's two orders, one after the other, their respective subordinates immediately took action.

Qi Wu glanced at Shen Yue, although he was worried, he knew that the matter was important and did not dare to delay, so he immediately turned around and went back to the entrance of the city tower and went down.

Sun He's subordinates had the heart to intercept them, but at this time, Shen Yue and Sun He were fighting between the two sides, and it was not easy for these people to pass by them.

Seeing that Qi Wu was about to go down to the bottom of the city tower, Sun He hurriedly said, "Hurry up and release the arrow!"

Sun He's reminder made the dozen or so archers suddenly realize, and hurriedly approached the battlement mouth to shoot arrows at Qi Wu.

Although Qi Wu was wearing armor, his body was very athletic, and he dodged most of the arrows, and some of the arrows that were about to hit him were blocked by him with his sword.

After a few breaths, Qi Wu went down to the city tower, turned over and jumped on a horse, and then urged the horse to gallop towards the city.

Sun He was not annoyed that he didn't stop Qi Wu, he swung his steel knife and used several extremely sharp moves in succession to force Shen Yue to retreat.

"Kill them quickly, and then go down and open the gates. ”

Following Sun He's order, his thirty or so subordinates immediately rushed towards Shen Yue's subordinates from behind him.

There was limited space on the city wall, and Sun He's men could not show the advantage of numbers, and the two sides were at a stalemate for a while.

......

Fan Changyun and the chief general of the four battalions of the forbidden army arrived at the East Palace almost at the same time. Although they did not know why the prince summoned them at this time, everyone knew that something big must have happened.

When Ji Xuan briefly told everyone about King Cheng's rebellion tonight, these people looked extremely shocked no matter what their hearts were. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not surprising that King Cheng chose to rebel, after all, he has thought that he is the only candidate for the future emperor since he was a child, but now he has been erased from the only one, and it is difficult for anyone to accept it.

Some people couldn't help but scold King Cheng, but they didn't dare to scold too much, after all, King Cheng was the emperor's biological son and Ji Xuan's second brother.

Ji Xuan ignored everyone's angry remarks, no matter whether these people really hated King Cheng or showed him pretend, but in fact they were complicit with King Cheng. He quietly looked at the crowd, hoping to see the clues from the words and deeds of these people, so as to judge who could be trusted and who was the accomplice of Cheng Wang.

After a period of uproar, Ji Xuan asked everyone to talk about how to deal with King Cheng's rebellion next.

The garrisons around the capital now only have Xiang Chengjun and Huai'an Army, and King Cheng can only rely on them for rebellion. Lin Yuan and the commanders of the four battalions both believed that although the Xiang Cheng army and the Huai'an army were twice as large as the forbidden army, their combat power could not be the same as that of the forbidden army, not to mention that the forbidden army could also rely on the strong city walls of the capital to defend the danger, and it was even more difficult for the rebels to attack the capital than to ascend to the sky. The two armies together are not a problem, not to mention the fact that it is somewhat impossible for the two armies to participate in the rebellion at the same time.

They can see this situation clearly, and it is impossible for King Cheng not to understand it, so since King Cheng dares to raise troops to rebel, there must be other means, and with all the news, King Cheng is the most likely to arrange internal response in the capital. If this is the case, it is very likely that Nei Ying is a person in the forbidden army, and of course, it is not excluded that there are other forces. No matter what kind of internal response it is, if they set off a storm in the capital and assist the rebels to attack the capital, then everything behind it is unknown. Therefore, the top priority is not only to do a good job in the defense of the four gates, but also to ensure the stability of the capital.

Ji Xuan didn't tell everyone that Qin Fan was coerced by King Cheng and turned to abandon the secret and turn to the light, he needed Qin Fan to continue to hide his identity, and then play a surprise role when needed.

"Your Highness," Pang Hong, the commander of the North Battalion, stood up and said, "According to the last general's opinion, even if Xiang Chengjun and Huai'an Army participate in the rebellion at the same time, they will attack the South Gate and the North Gate, so we must first do a good job of defending these two places." In addition, the general suggested that 2,000 people be drawn from the east camp and the west camp each, of which 2,000 people should be divided into ten squads to strengthen patrols in the capital to prevent changes in the city, and if any abnormalities are found, immediately warn, and the other 2,000 people will be used as a mobile force to support the place where danger occurs at any time, and ensure the safety of the city as much as possible. ”

Lin Yuan got up and praised: "General Pang's proposal is very good!"

Several other generals also agreed with Pang Hong's proposal.

Seeing that his opinion was recognized by everyone, Pang Hong was very happy, and then said: "The last general also thinks that we should immediately send people out of the city to inform the guards of the neighboring state capitals, so that they can prepare to enter the king of Jingqin. Although according to the current situation, King Cheng does not have the extra strength to rely on, but we must also be prepared to deal with unexpected situations. ”

Ji Xuan looked at Fan Changyun, and when he saw Fan Changyun nodding in approval, he turned his gaze to Pang Hong and said, "According to General Pang's words, it will be implemented as soon as the generals return to the camp later, and the soldiers and horses will be controlled by Lin Shangshu for the time being." As for notifying the guards in the neighboring state capitals, the palace will arrange for it. ”

The crowd answered.

So far, the performance of these four main generals has not shown any abnormality, and in order to continue to discern, Ji Xuan gave them a list of many assumptions for each of them to give their own countermeasures based on these assumptions.

Ji Xuan carefully observed everyone's every move, and at the same time considered the true meaning of every word they said.
