In the evening, Liu Er came out and saw Chaoping sitting on a stone bench in front of the hut. She walked forward www.biquge.info and said, "Xianggong, why don't you sleep?" Chaoping said: "I can't sleep, I'm worried about the affairs of the capital." Liu Er said: "Xianggong, isn't it like you said during the day that the capital is guarded by many guards, and it is difficult to be breached?" Chao Ping said: "Yes, this capital is indeed very dangerous now. Liu Er said: "What's going on, is there no more soldiers and horses around the capital to come to the rescue?" Chao Ping said: " That's the case, when Emperor Taizu fought the country, he fought for two or three years in this Luzhou, this place changed hands repeatedly, once the enemy army came to attack, everyone didn't take it seriously, just went to the normal army to block, I didn't expect those enemy troops to be brave soldiers, went straight to the camp of the Chinese army, at this time Emperor Taizu with his generals to the rear withdrew, walked more than 100 miles and found that it was the plan, the enemy army had already set up an ambush circle, relying on the mountainous terrain, the emperor's team was trapped in it, our army could not get in, Emperor Taizu could not come out, the elite of the enemy army surrounded Emperor Taizu, and the generals around the emperor had been almost killedAt this time, he was just an ordinary soldier, blocking in front of the emperor and killing the enemy bravely, and for a while the enemy did not hurt the emperor at all. Liu Er said: "Could it be that this soldier has anything to do with Luzhou Taishou?" Chaoping nodded and said: "Yes, this soldier saved the emperor, but he was seriously injured, the emperor wanted to reward him, he didn't want to reward, he just wanted to be able to go into battle to kill the enemy, and then the emperor gave him the position of a general, I didn't expect this person to be a rare general, repeatedly victorious, and then the country has been decided, when the emperor rewarded the meritorious deeds, he gave this soldier Luzhou Taishou the position, plus the word loyalty and bravery. Then Chao Ping sighed and said: "This general is the ancestor of this Zheng Tong, he was guarding Luzhou, the military and political are outstanding, the enemy has repeatedly invaded and has no chance, several emperors are very fond of their family, this Luzhou is the gateway to the capital, the closest to the capital, presumably the emperor could not have imagined that their generations of loyal Zheng family would have someone rebel." Liu Er said: "Xianggong, will someone force them to do that if they rebel." Chaoping said: "Who can figure out these things? It's just that the capital is too dangerous now, and this silver wolf doesn't know how many conspiracies he has deliberately planned, so I will set off for the capital early tomorrow morning, and if it weren't for the non-stop rush back for several days, I would have continued to hurry during the day." ”

The next day, it was raining lightly outside, and everyone was sending Chaoping outside, Chaoping and Biying Liu'er said: "Don't worry, I'll pick you up in a few days." Liu Er said: "Be careful when you go." Bi Ying was also worried about his safety and told him to be careful. Chaoping and Baguio said, "Baguio, you take care of the two ladies." Baguio nodded and said, "Master, you must pay attention to safety here." After Chao Ping said goodbye to Du Jian and the others, he rode away on a horse in his robe.

In the capital, Zheng Tong and the others had already come to camp outside the capital, very close to the capital, and the formation was quite orderly. Cao Xinyang and General An watched the situation of the enemy army on the city tower, ready to start a war at any time, and the emperor and prime minister in the palace were also fully prepared and arranged various deployments. The enemy army did not attack the city, and called for battle under the capital every day, and Cao Xinyang never went out once, not that he was not in a hurry, but that he was waiting for the emperor's order. Cao Xinyang's temper has always been short-tempered, everyone knows it, but without the king's order, he doesn't dare to send troops, the emperor knows that now the capital is in danger and waiting for reinforcements to arrive, if the reinforcements arrive, they can be solved together. Zheng Tong and them were in a hurry, so they called for battle every day, they were afraid of heavy losses in the siege, and it was said in the art of war that if it was not several times the enemy, it was a very unwise choice to attack the city. They originally thought that this Cao Xinyang would definitely fight under such great pressure, but what they didn't expect was that Cao Xinyang would be able to withstand such scolding.

A soldier of the forbidden army entered the house to report and said: "Your Majesty, the grain and grass in the army are ready, and now they are all in the east camp, and there are heavy guards, and now there is a group of forbidden troops who are raising the second wave of grain and grass and preparing to hoard it in the west camp. When the emperor heard this, he said: "Prime Minister, how many days will we have enough grain and grass?" The prime minister said: "Back to the emperor, these grains and grass are conservatively estimated to be able to eat for two months, and if you raise some more, there will be no problem for three months." When the emperor heard this, he said: "Okay, you go back now and tell Tian Zhen that the grain and grass must be raised, and not only let him guard the safety of the palace, but he also has to take responsibility for the security of the people in the capital. After receiving the order, the man went down, and the prime minister said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as you hold on for a while, the enemy army will naturally collapse by itself." The emperor nodded and said, "Alas, who would have thought that Zheng Tong could rebel." The prime minister said: "Your Majesty, this may be the conspiracy of the silver wolf, forcing Zheng Tong to rebel." The emperor said: "This Zheng Tong is a Taishou, what reason can he be persecuted, no matter what, if the siege of the capital is lifted, I will condemn him to a serious crime." The prime minister nodded, not daring to say anything.

In the Horse Mansion, everyone gathered together, and Zhen'er said: "Uncles, I think this battle is very easy to fight, only if the defenders in our capital don't go out, they can't attack it." The boss shook his head and said: "No, it won't be so easy to fight, there are dangers all the time, so the way of using soldiers is the most difficult truth in the world." Chen Jing said: "Haha, that is, the soldiers say so, but it is true that marching and fighting is a very complicated matter, and if you are not careful, you will be wiped out." The eighteenth sister said: "We can't be idle, why don't we go to General Cao to help?" The boss said: "Old eighteen, isn't this master who asked us to be in the mansion just to let us not reveal our identities? The eighteenth sister bowed her head in frustration. Chen Jing They don't understand why the eighteenth sister said such childish words, they all understand these truths, why the eighteenth sister still asks, in fact, the eighteenth sister has her own plans in her heart, she is afraid that Chaoping will rush to kill the army when she comes back, so she wants to find Chaoping at the first time, everyone didn't understand the meaning of the eighteenth sister for a while, and she herself was embarrassed to say it clearly.
