East camp on the outskirts of the city.
"See the Lord." Chu Feiyang's secret order has long been obtained. The army in uniform stands in the night, waiting for the arrival of Chu Feiyang.
There was a sound of horses' hooves. In the cold moonlight, all the people saw Chu Feiyang, who was in uniform, leading a column of soldiers to come, stopped the horses in the high voice of the people, and looked at the 100000 army in front of them.
"I will see the Lord at the end." At this time, from the camp, a man dressed in the armor of the third grade general, knelt down in front of Chu Feiyang, waiting for the dispatch of Chu Feiyang.
Taking back his sight to the soldiers, Chu Feiyang turned to look at Meng Tao in front of him and asked in a deep voice, "general Meng, can you count the number here?"
"Back to the Lord, including the general, there are a total of 133013 soldiers in the North military camp of the capital. At this time, all of them are here, waiting for the Lord to review." Meng Tao silk is unambiguous, the voice of hard Lang is sounded in the silent suburb, with the loyalty and uprightness of soldiers.
"Very well." Chu Feiyang nodded slightly, and his fierce eyes swept over the dark army again. However, he said solemnly, "this time, the king of the sea designed to frame the prince and set up a mutiny to win the Western Chu Kingdom. In the chaos of the world, the families of the soldiers will suffer as well. We have been raised by the people for many years, and now the national disaster is coming. When we have done our best, we hope that we can fight a victory with our king. Don't let the thief succeed. "
A speech, it seems to be extremely common, but it contains deep feelings and deterrence. The country and the family are always closely linked. Where can there be a family without a country? In the same way, no home, where to come from?
The families of these soldiers are ordinary people. When their families are destroyed, the first casualty is the common people. Even if they are for their own family, they will take their lives against each other.
I saw the silent night sky, suddenly sounded the voice of the sky, "defeat the king of the sea, return my home, defeat the king of the sea, return my peace!"
"Very well, I hope everyone remembers the warm blood in their hearts at this moment and fights for their relatives to the end." Chu Feiyang got off his horse and walked into the camp in the North under the guidance of Meng Tao to study the battle plan together.
"Lord, the emperor has allocated 200000 troops, but there are only 100000 people here, only half of them. But the four strong generals under the sea king conquered more than ten cities tonight. We want to subdue the sea king in a short time, but we are afraid of some difficulties. " A few oil lamps light up the camp, and a few people go to the map model. Meng Tao points to more than ten cities that have fallen into the hands of the sea and worries.
Chu Feiyang looks at the city that Meng Tao's fingers swept. A cold light comes out of his dark eyes, and his thin lips are slightly tightened. After a while, he says, "don't worry about it. This king has ordered Qu Changqing to dispatch people and horses to the west suburb. It's just that 100000 people are used to guard the capital, and we 100000 people are used to capture the whole sea. "
With that, Chu Feiyang put all his attention on the map in front of him, and calculated in his mind the great disparity between the enemy and our troops and the most powerful battle plan for his own side.
"Qu Shangshu?" Meng Tao is Chu Feiyang's confidant, who is naturally familiar with Qu Changqing.
But now Qu Changqing, as the Minister of the Ministry of punishment, has taken over the affairs of the Ministry of war. I'm afraid it's not good for Qu Changqing himself. What's more, now the situation in the world is extremely complicated, and the emperor taboos the Lord in all ways, which is why Qu Changqing was transferred from the position of military minister. But at this time, the king could not report to the emperor, so he began to use Qu Changqing. If he was provoked by someone, it would be more difficult.
Thinking about this, don't say that Meng Tao frowned. All the generals in the camp who thought about this were worried about Chu Feiyang's action.
"Don't worry, it's a very special time. There are priorities. Do you still expect the dispatch of those who can only talk about military affairs on paper? At that time, we are afraid that we will be defeated. If there is a grandfather with Qu Changqing, nothing will happen. " Seeing that Meng Tao cared about Qu Changqing, Chu Feiyang slowly opened his mouth, but his slender fingers were slowly sliding along the city under attack, and his eyes flashed with shrewd eyes.
"Old prince!" Unexpectedly, this event shocked the southern mountain of Chu. Meng Tao immediately stood in awe and dared not question any more. Chu Nanshan has outstanding achievements and outstanding military achievements. Even Chu Feiyang is a teacher of Chu Nanshan. If Chu Nanshan sits next to Qu Changqing, you can rest assured.
Chu Feiyang's attention was always on the map at this time. The charcoal in his hand circled Zhengzhou, Tongzhou, Yicheng and other cities on the map. Then he pointed to these cities and spoke in a deep voice, "the sea is really smart, and it's a good plan. Taking down these cities in advance and mastering the transportation city in the southeast and northwest of Xichu is equivalent to cutting off our reserve grain storage. If according to the imperial court's supply route of military grain, it must be transferred from all over the country, and then transported to the barracks by water or land, regardless of the southeast, northwest, it must pass through these cities. Haiquan's first attack on these cities is to cut off our rear supply. This is not only to kill our army, but also to distract our army and let our army break down without attack! "
"What the LORD said is very true. Several of us have done research before. If we want to transfer food from all over the country, we must go through Zhengzhou, Tongzhou, Yicheng and other places. But according to the current situation, we must give food and grass to the Haiwang army. We must open up a new way. Either the grain and grass stored in the capital will be used as military grain first, or it will be transported by a long way. But in this way, the food consumption of the people in the capital and the imperial palace will be affected. At that time, the people in the capital will be panic and cause unrest. And if we take a long way around, it's hard to guarantee that the sea king won't think of this and hijack our transport army. " Ye Chi points to the map with both hands, one hand at the location of the capital city, and the other hand around Zhengzhou, Tongzhou, Yicheng and other areas outside the city. Although he mentions two solutions, none of them is an excellent solution.Chu Feiyang's eyes are half closed, and his eyes follow the direction of Ye Chi's fingers. There is a cold light in his calm eyes, and then he opens steadily, "what you said is extremely correct. The grain reserve in Beijing will never be used unless it is a last resort. Otherwise, it will cause civil unrest and fall into the trap of the whole sea. As for another solution, we can think that haiquanding has already thought of it, and its feasibility is extremely low. However, the whole sea is a little missing. In order to save money, the emperor sent Rong Yunhe to relieve the flood in the south of the Yangtze River. Now Rong Yunhe is not in Beijing, but he has helped us a lot. "
At this point, Chu Feiyang's face was cold. Fortunately, he told Rong Yunhe that he could not go to Qinzhou where Bai Wuxian was stationed. Otherwise, once Rong Yunhe fell into Haiquan's hands, they would be in a more difficult situation, for they were afraid that the family's wealth would be attributed to Haiquan.
After listening to Chu Feiyang's analysis, people gradually realized
"Newspaper!" Several generals and Chu Feiyang were discussing the battle plan, but the voice of bodyguards came from outside the tent.
"Come in." Another deputy general Ye Chi saw Chu Feiyang analyzing the war situation and asked the bodyguard to come in.
"Newspaper, Wang Ye, just came the news that the city's urban defense forces had closed the gate of the city and blocked all the entrances of the city. No people were allowed to enter or leave the city." The bodyguard immediately knelt in front of the crowd and quickly said the news he had just received.
"What?" As soon as the generals' hearts tightened, they all turned their eyes to Chu Feiyang.
After hearing this news, Chu Feiyang saw a flash of fierce murderous air in his calm eyes, but it was hidden in the bottom of his eyes.
"A good Jiang Muchen has come up at this time. So it seems that all of our 200000 troops, including haichenxi, are locked outside the city gate. And Jiang Muchen's hand is actually holding the lives of millions of people in the capital. " With three sneers, Chu Feiyang's heart was full of anger. He thought that dream was trapped in the Chu Xiangfu and Jiang Muchen's salivation for dream. Even though dream was not dangerous at this time, he was afraid that Jiang Muchen would give her a hand when the situation in Beijing was stable.
"Lord, what should we do now? Do you want to deal with King Hai or King Fu Chen? " Chen Wang's act of taking advantage of the fire to rob has explained his ambition to the world. It is really despicable to want to take advantage of the war between the king of Chu and the king of the sea.
Chu Feiyang put his right hand on the sword at his waist, and his joints were slightly white. He released his hand for a long time, and he spoke decisively for a long time. "Send someone to inform Han shaomian of this news. Those who keep a close eye on haichenxi, if they have any changes, come back to report immediately. Let's go ahead with the plan. "
Now it's not sure whether the sea king also knows about Chen Wang. If the sea doesn't know, things will be easier to do. But if Haiquan knew about it, he was afraid that he would take advantage of the chaos to launch an attack on the capital. At that time, the 200000 troops in his hands would have to deal with both sides of the people and horses, but he was afraid that it would be extremely difficult. If we send troops from other places, it will take half a month. When reinforcements come, the world has already changed.
"Lord, I will do it myself at the end of the day." Ye Chi bows to Chu and leads the guards out of the camp.
"Go back quickly. Be careful." Chu Feiyang nodded slightly and trusted Ye chi to do it.
At this time, there was a rapid horseshoe sound outside the tent. Then the curtain was lifted again, and Xi Lin strode in. After seeing Chu Feiyang, Xi Lin immediately knelt down to salute: "see the Lord for humble duty."
Chu Feiyang frowns and looks at Xi Lin, who should have stayed beside Yun qianmeng. He asks in a deep voice, "how are you coming back? How about the princess? What's the situation of Xiangfu? "
"Back to the prince, everything is well for the time being. The princess asked me to protect the prince. Please rest assured." Although Chu Feiyang didn't blame Xi Lin, Xi Lin could still feel the oppression of Chu Feiyang, and hurriedly lowered his head to answer Chu Feiyang's questions.
"Nonsense! Since you know that Chen Wang closed the gate and controlled the whole capital, how can you leave the princess alone? " Chu Feiyang's heart was very angry. His eyes were fixed on Xi Lin, who had been following him for more than ten years. What was constantly emerging in his mind was the charming face of Yun qianmeng.
Being scolded by Chu Feiyang for a while, Xi Lin's head was lower, but he could only open his mouth under Chu Feiyang's pressure, "it was the princess who insisted on letting his humble duty come to protect the prince. The princess was ready to leave the capital. She didn't want the city defense army to take the lead in closing all the gates, which made it impossible for everyone to leave the city."
Did Xi Lin not know the weight of the dream in the heart of the king of Chu? But both of them are masters, and the princess is right. Compared with the capital, the battlefield is more dangerous, and the prince's situation is more dangerous.
"Let's relax for the moment, King Chen will not fight against the people in the city. If he slaughters the people in the city, he believes that all the people in the world will fight together. " Du Ronghui came forward to analyze, but in his heart he admired the courage of Princess Chu, but also the feelings of the couple.
Do Chu Feiyang not know what Du Ronghui said? He was annoyed, but at the time of crisis, yunqianmeng didn't think about herself at all. If Xi Lin stayed in the capital, at least he could be relieved. But dream son for his safety, even Xi Lin refused to stay around, how can not let him worry?
At this time, Chu Feiyang knew his priorities. He suddenly closed his eyes, looked up and took a deep breath to hide all his worries and anxieties in his heart. Then he opened his eyes and said in a calm voice, "just get up first, keep in touch with Qiao Ying, and report to the king the recent situation of the princess and Xiangfu.""Yes." Xi Lin responded with a deep voice, and his eyes were full of sincerity.
The Western camp on the outskirts of the city.
Qu Changqing took the lead in arriving at the Western camp in the outskirts of the city. At this time, he saw several figures galloping in the dark night. Looking at them in the silver moonlight, he recognized that they were the southern mountain of Chu and the head of the Xia Hou clan. Qu Changqing immediately went forward to salute, "see the old prince for your humble position, and see the head of the Xia Hou clan."
In the future, without the status of noble prince of the literati and the ties of marriage, the great achievements of the south mountain of Chu deserve the respect of all people, so that all people can only recognize him as the old king of Chu who used to be powerful in the world.
Chu Nanshan jumped off the horse's back, threw the reins in his hand to Jiao Da, went to Qu Changqing, who was bending down to salute, reached out and patted Qu Changqing on the shoulder, calmly said: "good boy, it's really you. Let's go into the camp and discuss things. "
After speaking, Chu Nanshan led everyone into the camp.
"Old Chu, King Chen is suddenly in trouble. We are locked out of the city. There are haichenxi and the city defense forces in front of us. Once the sea king's army and King Chen's army fight in the city, we, 100000 people, want to guard the city, just afraid..." There are lights in the camp, making every inch of mountains and rivers on the map clearly appear in front of all the people. The chief of Xiahou clan is the first to speak out his worries.
The south mountain of Chu is also buried in the map, with wise eyes sweeping the north and south of the great river of Western Chu, carefully analyzing the war situation and terrain in the heart. The solemn spirit is not like the old man who has not been in contact with the war for many years.
"Now the three kings have the power of war in their hands. Although Haiquan and ChenWang have taken the initiative, the three kings restrict and balance each other. Haiquan first attacked from the four corners of the Western Chu state, while Chen Wang, though temporarily in charge of the capital, would not attack the capital so soon, because they were both waiting for Feiyang to show their final cards. If the power in Feiyang's hands is not fully exposed to their eyes, they will not act rashly, will they let Feiyang gain profits? " Chu Nanshan is well aware of the concerns of the chief Xia. Haiquan has taken the sons and daughters of all the royal families, including the prince, while Chen Wang has taken control of the whole capital city. Both of them have hostages. Only Chu Feiyang has nothing to do with these two people. It's no wonder that the chief Xia, who loves Chu Feiyang, is in a state of anxiety.
"Look..." Chu Nanshan pointed to the location of the capital on the map, and explained to everyone: "the capital is in the middle. Outside is the 50000 people and horses led by Han shaomian. Although the surrounding area is the people and horses of haichenxi, the surrounding area of haichenxi is our people and horses. By contrast, we are holding the sea and the river in the middle. Can't our 150000 people and horses fight the 50000 people and horses that can't fall into the sea and sink into the river? Therefore, it's our men and horses guarding outside the city. In this way, once there is a war between the king of the sea and the king of Chen in the capital city, their strength will surely decline. With the wisdom of Haiquan and ChenWang, we will not do such cheap things. Just... "
Speaking of this, Chu Nanshan gradually shut up and fell into meditation
"Just what?" The head of Xiahou clan put his eyes on the map in front of him. At this time, he saw that Chu Nan Mountain stopped to analyze. He couldn't help looking up to see Chu Nan Mountain. His eyes were full of questions.
"Jiang Muchen will not fight against the people, but he will never let two people go!" There is a heavy color between the eyebrows of the south mountain of Chu. The solemnity in the tone makes people mention the whole heart
In the capital
A column of city guards guarded a carriage and went quickly to the direction of the long street.
In the carriage, mother Jiang handed a cup of hot tea to Princess Yuande, who was leaning on the cushion, and said softly, "master, have a cup of tea. You will be able to arrive at the palace in a short time. You have suffered a lot in these days. "
With that, mother Jiang put the tea cup on the small table in the carriage, held Princess Yuande upright carefully, and handed the cup to Princess Yuande.
Imperial concubine Yuande slowly sat up, but her eyes were cold. She saw her dark eyebrows gently closed, and there was a trace of anxiety and chagrin between her eyebrows. She spoke in a low voice. "Unfortunately, chen'er would not have let go of the song if she had not been afraid that Chu Feiyang's suspicion would have been caused by her forced stay. If Qu Changqing is removed, Chu Feiyang will be in a hurry for a while. This is also a good thing for chen'er. Unfortunately, alas! "
"Wang Yeji has his own destiny. It's him, even if he can't get rid of Qu Changqing. You see, isn't the capital in the hands of the king now? Take it easy, princess. " Mother Jiang, in a low voice, comforted the thoughtful Princess Yuande, with a respectful look on her face.
Smell speech, Yuan de too imperial concubine tiny nod, then ask: "that cold is clear, but already solved secretly?"
"Yes, don't worry, princess." Mother Jiang immediately returned.
"That's good. Hanche is the leader of all officials and the person of Yuqian emperor. If you get rid of him, you can greatly boost our army's momentum!" After speaking, Princess Yuande closed her eyes again and stopped talking.
