Chapter 524

Yuan shisan immediately turned around and handed the letter to Li Heng. After reading the letter, Li Heng's face changed slightly, and then recovered as usual. He said in a deep voice, "please come to discuss the matter immediately!"

Yuan shisan was stunned and said: "yes!" Turn around and order people to invite Mo Pingchu, Minister of the Ministry of war.

Thinking of Li Henggang's look after reading the letter, yuan shisan's heart went up to his throat. He knew that something important must have happened, and it must have something to do with Miss nine. I'm afraid Shiling pass will be in trouble again.

Mo Pingchu arrived in a hurry, and Li Heng handed him the secret letter directly. Mo Pingchu finished reading it quickly, and his face sank. He looked up at Li Heng and said, "Your Highness, according to the secret letter of emperor Shizi of Qi, I'm afraid it's a foregone conclusion. There will be a big war in Shiling pass, and Xiao Jiu is short of troops, There is no way to compete with the army composed of the frontier army and the remnant of the vassal army in Anxi. "

Li Heng frowned and pondered for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "when will the border guards of Beiting mansion arrive?"

Mo Pingchu lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "according to the itinerary, it will take three days at the fastest."

Li Heng looked deep and asked in a low voice: "in your opinion, when will they start?"

Mo Pingchu looked very complicated and said: "this time, the vassal state sent Prince chide to take the seat in person. It seems that it is a must and will not delay. But after all, this matter involves the military strength of several border towns in Anxi. It will take some time for the vassal state to gather together and reorganize. It's really hard to determine the time to start. "

After thinking about it, Mo Pingchu said: "however, Prince Shizi of Qi has already known the plan of the other party in advance, which has won us precious time to deal with it. Your highness, King Shizi of Qi suggested in his letter that the light cavalry of Beiting Dadu should rush to Anxi mansion first, and arrest the people involved in the case in a hurry. I think we can try this method. "

Li Heng shook his head slightly and said, "if Prince chide dares to use this hand, he must have made enough preparations in advance. Those rebellious people will never be arrested. At that time, he is afraid that they will not be arrested. Instead, he will trigger a mutiny. If he compensates for Beiting Dadu, it will be more troublesome."

"Your Highness is right, but I can't think of any other way at the moment." Mo Pingchu frowned and looked bitter. All of a sudden, in order to prevent the unrest in Anxi, they wanted to remove the forces buried in Anxi step by step from the top down. But unexpectedly, the vassal assembly sent Prince chide to take charge of the Sheling pass, and directly drew down a group of rebellious junior officers. According to the personnel list mentioned in Li Yuanjia's letter, it was estimated that nearly 20000 border guards would join the enemy, which was no doubt a disaster for Xiao Jiu, who only had more than 10000 defenders.

Mo Pingchu has never felt so depressed. It's a pity that he was so smart and careless. Now he has nothing to do but watch Xiao Jiu get into trouble.

Li Heng's eyes flashed a trace of killing intention. His low eyes suddenly became sharp and abnormal. He said in a deep voice: "since there is no way to avoid danger, we have to face the difficulties."

Mo Pingchu looked at Li Heng in shock and asked in a low voice: "how to meet the difficulties?"

Li Heng said firmly: "I will appoint Xiao Jiu as commander-in-chief of the middle road army, so that she can dispatch troops from Anxi mansion and Beiting mansion at will, and take charge of the defense of shantouguan, Fenshui pass, Shiling pass, Shiling pass and Baihu pass."

Mo Pingchu's face changed greatly. He said in an urgent voice: "Your Highness, this matter is very important. You must not decide next time rashly. Since the establishment of the Xia Dynasty by the Kaiyuan empress, the northwest army has been under the jurisdiction of the same army, and there has never been any Middle Route Army, let alone the separate management of the thirteen passes. Although Xiao Jiu has won several battles, she has little experience in the army and is young enough to appoint her as the commander of the Middle Route Army. Not to mention that the military officials in the middle of the court are not satisfied with her appointment, the emperor is determined not to agree with her! "

Li Heng said with deep eyes: "I know my father won't agree, so I don't intend to ask for his consent. In a little while, it will be the early court. I will announce this matter directly in the name of the emperor."

Mo Pingchu's face turned white. He shook his head and said, "no, absolutely not! Your highness, this is a fake imperial edict. Although you are the prince, as long as you don't step on that position one day, you are still a minister. It is a crime of great rebellion to pass on the imperial edict falsely. If the emperor is angry, do you know the consequences? " Li Heng hooked his lips and said, "since I made this decision, naturally I knew the consequences. At the beginning of Ping Dynasty, not everything had to follow the precedent. Before, the vassal army had never crossed the previous several barriers and directly attacked Shiling barrier. Now you know better than I do that the northwest army is in a tight border situation and can't support the middle route; The vassal army will never give up the chance to occupy the middle road when they send the prince to the town. Next, they will take the middle road by all means and try to send their troops south to Kyoto. This is the central point of this war, not the two roads we thought before. "

Mo Pingchu's face was white and frightening. Li hengchen said: "I think Xiaojiu's situation is several times more dangerous than what we guessed or even what she thought. Now that she is deeply in the situation, and since the intention of the vassal army is clear, the only thing we can do now is to believe in Xiao Jiu and give her the greatest power. As a prince, maybe I shouldn't put all my eggs in one basket, but as the elder brother of Xiaojiu and the person who watched Xiaojiu grow up, I firmly believe that Xiaojiu has incomparable ability. On the other hand, you and I are all people who have been on the battlefield. Human lives on the battlefield are like weeds. No matter how fierce the war is, I believe you have never heard of a commander who died in the war? "

Mo Pingchu looked at Li Heng in shock and murmured: "Your Highness, you --"

Excessive shock makes Mo Pingchu speechless. He suddenly feels that Li Heng's affection for Xiao Jiu is deeper and heavier than he thought. This heavy affection makes Mo Pingchu feel a little afraid. If one day he needs to exchange Xiao Jiu's peace at the expense of the Xia Dynasty, will his highness give up his family and choose Xiao Jiu?

Mo Pingchu can't help shivering, suddenly found that his baby sister may become the role of beauty disaster, Mo Pingchu really hard to accept. Mo Pingchu secretly scolds himself for being crazy. How could Xiao Jiu become such a role? If she didn't fight hard in Shiling pass, the situation would be worse than now.

However, Mo Pingchu still felt that Li Heng's decision was not right. He said to Li Heng in a deep voice: "Your Highness is very grateful for Xiao Jiu's love. It's just that this is too risky. A little carelessness will put your highness in danger and make the court more turbulent. Your highness should know that the xieguifei faction is still actively wooing the old ministers in the court. Some old ministers have complained because they rely too much on the prince of Qi. If you do this dangerous move again, you are afraid that the emperor will connive at your highness because of his father and son's affection. Those old ministers will also strongly oppose it, and even turn to xieguifei faction. If so, your Highness's status will not be protected, and the court will never have peace. Therefore, Pingchu implored his highness to think twice, to solve the danger of Xiaojiu, and his highness to stand in the court.
