Shangyuan City, the Palace Changle Hall.
Prince Ning Weiyuan finally waited for the person he wanted to meet.
A captain who escaped from the Leizhou frontier army.
After learning that the western state capital had fallen, he did not forget to
take action when he was shocked. In addition to suggesting to the Ministry of
War to immediately mobilize the garrisons in the nearby states to support
Suzhou, he also sent his own elite guards to Leizhou. Before the High National
Forces took control of the local traffic arteries, they brought back a general
or official who knew the local situation.
At this time, the letter inquiry is meaningless, and he must personally find
out the cause of the change from the person’s mouth.
It would be best if there are cronies in the army who can report the news, but
since these people have not been able to transmit the information to Gyeonggi
in the first time, their experience is certainly not optimistic.
"Knock, knock, see His Royal Highness." The visitor knelt tremblingly.
"Your name, who led the soldiers under?" Although the guards had reported to
him, Ning Weiyuan decided to ask again-he believed that few people in the
world would dare to lie in front of him.
"Back to Your Highness, Du Qi, humble and humble duty, was acting with General
Zuo at the time..." This person's teeth trembled so badly, probably because he
thought he was dead soon-as a frontier army, he failed to hold the border, and
was still on his way to escape. Being caught by the prince’s man, the fate can
be imagined. "No, but it was not General Zuo alone, Your Highness!"
is not his fault? Ning Weiyuan's heart sank. It seems that the guard did not
find the wrong person this time. "Get up and talk. I don't need to kill you,
as long as you tell me everything you know."
Lieutenant 's face was shocked, and then overjoyed, "Yes, never dare to hide
your humble duty!"
"Do you know what General Zuo was doing?"
"The humble position knows! He and General Ba have made a flanking attack
plan. They plan to split their troops into two battles. The joint attack will
be located at Baixi Lake. I just don’t know why the battle plan was suspended
halfway, and General Zuo sent someone to inform General Ba. , Led his army
back to the gray grassland area, and set up camp, saying that he was waiting
for another army."
Was the specific situation so arranged?
can't see any problems. Ning Weiyuan thought to himself that the so-called
waiting for the response should be the last interception. "and then?"
The Lieutenant opened his mouth, only feeling that his tongue was a little
bitter. Until now, he still couldn't believe that the scene was true, "Then...
a heavy armored cavalry that had never seen before attacked us. They had no
flags and no numbers. Many, and... surrender is not acceptable."
"Heavy-armored cavalry?" Rao was educated since he was a child to be happy and
angry, and the prince couldn't help but whispered, "Where is the cavalry?"
The situation in Gao Guo and Qi Guo is similar. They are not good at horse
warfare. Horses in the army are mostly allocated to scouts. What's more, most
areas of Leizhou are not suitable for cavalry operations. How come a heavy
cavalry force suddenly appeared?
His first reaction was that the other party was lying.
But soon, Ning Weiyuan thought of an incredible possibility.
"The weapon they used was a spear with a curved blade?"
"His Royal Highness, that's it!"
The prince slammed down the chair!
——"Xu Guo Tieqi".
So this person would say that it was not the fault of General Zuo alone. As
usual, what Zuoan did was completely within the controllable range. Losing
Tyrant Xingtian alone, Leizhou Mansion is at most a bit more pressured. With
an army of nearly 30,000 people plus a strong city, it is impossible to be
taken by the high country in an instant.
He can already imagine the situation at that time-it is impossible for two
legs to run over four legs in a flat place. As long as Zuoan starts to
retreat, he will face a defeat. The vast majority of people would be driven
and killed by cavalry, without the city defense of the two sides of the army?
naturally became a decoration.
It's just that Ning Weiyuan couldn't think of why Xu Guojun would appear at
the border. Gao and Xu jointly swallow Qi? This is simply not realistic.
Doesn't Xu State border Qi State? Even if it lays down several states, it is
nothing but a wedding dress for Gao Guo. Can the other side often occupy Daqi
territory across a country?
Besides, he never heard the rumors of the alliance between the two countries.
They were already incredible without fighting first.
Where is this cavalry now? How long can Suzhou last? Ning Weiyuan's mind
turned quickly-the change has happened? Rather than regretting the decision he
made? It's better to think about how to save the situation. In any case? This
news must be communicated to the Ministry of Defense and the front troops as
soon as possible, telling them that the enemy may not be the only high
country. At the same time, the Privy Council should also take action to
mobilize local personnel to Suzhou to meet the enemy.
Speaking of the Privy Council, he suddenly thought of someone.
This plan was put forward by the emperor's brother after all. Where there is a
risk of leakage? Is it all done by him? Is there such a possibility...
Thinking of this, Ning Weiyuan looked at a guard, "My brother? Where is it
now?"
The latter arched his hands, "As usual, stay in the warm pavilion west of the
square."
is not in the Privy Council?
Ning Weiyuan got up from the chair? "I'll meet him."
……
When the prince pushed open the door of the Nuang Pavilion, the second prince
was concentrating on painting a picture scroll.
The sudden sound of pushing the door made him obviously startled, and a group
of ink dots suddenly appeared under the pen, "Your Highness, why are you
here?"
Ning Weiyuan walked up to him with an angry face and grabbed his collar, "It's
not the good things you did! It's just to deal with a hegemony, and even
Leizhou has been lost. I just got the news and said Xu The country is also
involved—Xu Guo!” He emphasized, “Are you sure no one else knows this news
except for those who handle it?”
"Xu Guo? Impossible, right? Even if you leak the news, you won't leak to the
neighboring countries of Gao Guo." Ning Qianshi broke his hand, "And this
matter can't be all to me, right? I told you that day. I've explained that I
can't touch the army, and other places where you need to run errands are done
by yourself. You know that too-how did I know that Leizhou is gone?"
is not eager to verify or justify, but to evade responsibility, his emperor
does not look like he knows the inside story.
But then again, Ning Weiyuan didn't really believe that his second brother
could toss the matter so much. This temptation was just a casual question. In
the final analysis, the second prince away from the court can not get any
benefits from this matter.
In the event of an accident, the beneficiary would be him, who has already
established a reserve; if he later repels the invading army of the high
country, his prestige in the army can be raised to a higher level; even if Qi
Guo is forced to cede territory for peace, or even subjugate the country ,
What can the second prince get from it? I am afraid that even the current
position cannot be maintained.
Since there is no benefit, why should the other party do it?
Everything they have ~www.mtlnovel.com~ is built on the royal blood after all.
"If Suzhou is lost, Youzhou will not protect it. If Youzhou is gone, the enemy
will be able to reach down to Shangyuan City." Ning Weiyuan looked at his
second brother coldly, "This matter is not trivial. The Privy Council assists
the armies of the states to block the high country troops. Are you also a
member of the Privy Council? Now is a good time for you to make
contributions."
"His Royal Highness... Brother Huang, what do you mean?" Ning Qianshi showed a
surprised look, "Isn't it because you want me to leave Shangyuan and go to a
ghost place like Suzhou?"
"That's my Daqi's territory, it's not a ghostly place!" The prince raised his
voice a little, "Since the founding of the motherland, the princes and
grandchildren have always had the tradition of fighting for the country. I
believe that my father will hear your request. It will be very pleased."
Ning Qianshi opened his mouth, but couldn't answer the conversation for a long
time.
"Your Royal Highness, someone is looking for the second prince outside." The
guard walked into the greenhouse and reminded.
"What can I do with him?"
"I said... came to him for a drink." The guard whispered, "A little younger
than the second prince, wearing the alchemist uniform of the Privy Council,
probably his friend?"
Drinking and painting? There is a sense of leisure.
"Then, I won't bother my second brother."
"His Royal Highness, I have so avoided, are you going to drive me away?" Ning
Qianshi said in a deep voice.
"How can this be called rushing...I just hope to temper you well so that I can
share my worries later." Ning Weiyuan shook his head, turned and walked out of
the greenhouse.
