Nearly noon, Zhang Ping returned to the barracks.

As soon as he pushed aside the small courtyard that was specially assigned to them, he saw that his family Cavalry Captain Wangye legs is standing in balance forming neither a "丁" or a " 八" , his left hand was holding a knife on his shoulder, and his right hand was holding a volume of military books, which he was reading with great interest.1

Zhang Ping didn't want to disturb him and closed the courtyard door and walked gently past him. This yard was small, smaller than their Zhang family yard. But considering that this is a military camp, it was already a great deal of care to give a martial virtue cavalry captain a separate courtyard, but that was on account of the fact that he was both prince and a first class wangye.

"Where have you been all morning?" he heard an unhurried sound of inquiry.

Zhang Ping stopped, "Went out for breakfast. Do you remember the breakfast stand I told you about? The fried dough sticks on that stand were really good, crispy and savory. You should really try it, cold ones don't have that taste.

"I asked where you've been all morning." Huangfu Jie's eyes didn't leave the book, and his left arm was just as immobile.

"Went around town. The blacksmith's shop was closed and the neighbors said he left overnight. The Governor Daren's residence increased the number of patrolling soldiers and their frequency also increased. The Third Highness and Liu Yun Daren, an army provision officer*, went to pay their respects to The Governor Daren. But The Governor Daren did not introduce Hu Gonggong, who had arrived overnight the day before, to those two. Oh, and the madman stole my soy eggs again this morning."

"That's all?" At last, Huang Fu Jie picked up his eyelids.

"That's all." Zhang Ping nodded with an honest face.

"Have you found out the identity of the Madman?"

"Most likely I have guessed it."

"Watch and see if the blacksmith is out of town for the next two days. If so, which gates he walked through, and who opened them for him if he walked at night, if not, look up who he's visiting now. Also think of a way to find out what secret orders Hu Rong has brought."

"What about Liu Yun's Daren place...?"

Huangfu Jie lifted his face and smiled slightly at Zhang Ping, "I'm in charge of his place. You gotta let me work on my legs."

Hearing this, Zhang Ping crouched down and kneaded King Ning's leg irreverently, praising him: "Not bad. It's very hard, in a few more days of practice it can be marinated*. Say, Cavalry Captain Wangye, how long have you been standing like this?" "

"I say, Zhang Ping, the eunuch of the sixth grade of Cavalry Captain Wangye, you must first explain to your master where you will go in the future. This is not the first time I've told you. " Huang Fu Jie returned his eyes to the book and turned a page with his thumb.2

Zhang Ping got up and said, "Do I have to tell you before I even go to a latrine pit* ?"

"Um." Huang Fu Jie nodded.

"You're joking, aren't you? Zhang Ping looked at the man doubtfully.

Huang Fu Jie lifted his eyelids. "Do you think I'm joking? "

Zhang Ping crossed his arms, thought for a while, then nodded and lifted his feet to the root of the wall, lifted a stone lock, walked to Huang Fu Jie, and placed a sixty-kilogram stone lock on

King Ning 's left arm. Then ... stand on the side to enjoy.

"Zhang Ping, is this your eunuch's unique way of retaliating against your master?"

Huangfu Jie's left arm trembled. The stone lock that Zhang Ping placed was like the last straw that crushed the camel, although this "straw" weighed sixty pounds more than ordinary straw, but the reasoning was similar. Even with Huangfu Jie's natural divine strength, it was too much for him to handle, and the balance of the sword power was destroyed.1

"No. Is that it. "

Zhang Ping held his voice and gave a cold snort, kicking him in the corner of Huang Fu Jie's leg. Then the orchid fingers* are turn up as he go out with a twist.1

Eunuch eunuch, let me show you the power of eunuch Zhang San!

A twist to the left, a twist to the right, and the third step because the twist was so big that it accidentally hit the door frame. Zhang Ping cursed foully in anger and kicked the doorframe in a big run.

"Boom." The knee landed.

"Kuang Dang." Not only the stone lock, but also the sword held in his hand dropped on the ground.

"Zhang Ping ...?"

Did something happen in the morning that he didn't know? Now the only thing he can be sure of is that Zhang Ping is really angry.

"Puftt!" Huangfu Jie burst out laughing, "Ha ha ha ha! "The louder he laughed, the louder he got.

Zhang Ping, Zhang Ping, you are a living treasure. How can I let go of you?

Zhang Ping turned 7 to 8 blocks into the famous "Red Street" in the city.

The reason why the red street is called Red Street lies in the "red pavilion" at the end of it. The red pavilion is the only brothel in the City. Because of the existence of the red pavilion, there are many semi-closed doors around it to do similar business. As time goes by, this street has become a famous weathered place in the city. Later, people simply called this street red street.

Compared with the native people of this city, the soldiers in the barracks frequent the most on this red street. Those with grade and a bit of silver loved to go to the Red Pavilion, while common soldiers with little silver money were fond of the half-hidden doors in the streets

Zhang Ping came to a prostitute's house with red scarves hanging outside but both doors closed. Red scarves represent the family's business. The half door that should have been opened has now been closed to show that there are guests inside.

"Knock, knock knock knock, knock knock."

The closed-door showed a gap, and Zhang Ping squeezed in sideways.

The big door closed again.

"How is she?" Zhang Ping opens the bed curtain and asks.

The madman slumped into the chair and hummed.

"Hey, I treat you to breakfast this morning. "

"You want to exchange a life with a meal? Do you know how much money this young master has spent to save this little one?"

"Well, when the little girl wakes up, she will be your servant girl for the rest of her life. What do you think? "

"Good for you, damn eunuch! It's not enough for me this young master to spend money to save her, but you still want to dump her on me? No way!" The madman was so angry that he jumped on a chair and yelled.

"If you don't want her, why save her?" Zhang Ping put down the curtain and went to the table to sit down.

"It's you who saved her, not me! You're going to take this person away for me right away! "

Zhang Ping shook his head, "I'll bring five more people here tonight, and then you'll not only have a maid, but also guards who can protect you. You needn't thank me; these men are trouble, and you had better leave town with them as far away as you can at once."

The Madman laughed in rage*, "I thought I was crazy, but you're even crazier than me! Why did you ask me to save someone? "Why should I have to be in trouble for you?"1

"It was your own initiative to be involved with me. I am a eunuch without money and power. You pester me, there must be your purpose. And if i don't guess your identity, you think I would let you get closer? " Zhang Ping shakes the teapot, but there is no water.

"My identity? Who do you think I am? "The madman snatched the teapot and carried it into his arms.

"If Wangye sees you, he should call you elder-martial-brother."

The madman stopped talking, squinted at Zhang Ping, and began to hum again.

"I don't know what your purpose of being close to me. But I can guess that it must be related to Wangye. If you want to get close to him, then you have to do things for him first. Saving these people is the first thing you have to do ."

The madman "hehehe" laughed again, grabbed his face and said: "Zhang Gonggong, your Wangye should be craving for worthy talents* now? As If they all like you working like this, You think he would find someone who would throw their life for him? "2

"If you are really 'Worthy', let wangye see how 'worthy' you are. " Zhang Ping smiled," if you are the same as the people Wangye bought in the past three years, do you think I will come to you for help? "

The madman looked at Zhang Ping for a long while and said, "If anyone tells me that you are a honest person, I will use an awl to drill 180 holes on him!"1

Zhang Ping got up and patted the madman on the shoulder as he walked past him, "That little girl's will to live is not strong, and if she survives, she may seek death. You comfort her well, I'm sure you can do that."

The madman suddenly jumped from his chair and yelled, "scram!"

Zhang Ping was wise enough to turn around and walk away.

Hu Rong, with a gloomy face, sat in the hall without saying a word.

The Governor Li Deng paced with his hands behind his back, silent in thought.

Li Deng stopped in his tracks and sighed back bitterly : "Hu Gonggong, I'm puzzled as well. However, I can assure you that the intruder is by no means someone from The Governor's residence."

"Oh? Is it? It's none of your business that the five people who are guarding the city are missing?"

Li Deng secretly scolded the eunuch and said with a wry smile, "I really don't know. "

The eunuch was so ruthless that he wanted to silence five of his men, just to cover his tracks. To lose those four ordinary soldiers is not unfortunate, what unfortunate is that The Colonel of martial apprentice* is one of his trusted aide.1

Now, these five people are unknown whether they are alive or dead, and they don't know whether the castrated Hu is telling the truth or not. Perhaps the castrated Hu mouth blames the unknown whereabouts of five people, while in fact, he has killed them in the dark?

It 's possible to think about it. The damn eunuch has nothing underneath, but he still lustful, asking for a beautiful girl. he didn't know what he had done to her before. But looking at the blood stains on the bed sheet that the servant had collected, he is afraid that the servant girl has already meet ill fated end.1

Li Deng was disgusted with Hu Rong, but he had to flatter him because of his special envoy status. Thinking of how the third prince came to him this morning, his heart couldn't help being swayed.

Hu Rong's heart was even more worried plus suspicious. In the morning, when he returned to his room, he found the girl in his bed missing, and no one knew where she was and then a strand of silk was found on the bedhead, and his mind became greatly puzzled.

As the highest ranking eunuch beside the emperor, he, Hu Rong, knew the clothing and accessories of the civil and military officials all too well. The color and texture of the threads were the same as those hanging from the Third Grade guards' accessories. And the only two third-grade guards in this Yanmen Pass were the people around the Third Prince.

What does this mean?

It means that the Third Prince already knows that he has come here, which means that the Third Prince is be anxious about his secret visit to the Governor's Office*.1

But why are the third prince be anxious? Why did he bring the army provision officer to the Governor Office today? Why didn't Li Deng say anything to him about the Third Prince's visit this morning?

Hu Rong was already full of doubt. and the many things that have happened in one day are related to his immediate safety, so naturally, the more suspicious he becomes.

Zhang Ping sat on the hillside watching Huangfu Jie train his army in the darkness of the night.

A troop of 2000 men, few in number, but they are the finest. The team that originally belonged to Tao Zhenggang gradually took on the colors of Huangfu Jie. Over the past three years, with personnel changes and replacements, the 2000 troops are no longer the original cavalry troop, and even he cannot fully grasp the true nature of everyone on the squadron.

The most interesting member of this team is Tao Zhenggang. This person originally held the chief officer post, but later willingly demoted himself to a deputy post for the sir cavalry captain.

Huangfu Jie also made a lot of effort on him. After analyzing the character and strengths of the capable men around him, he found that although Tao Zhenggang's personality was too straightforward and easily offended by what he said, he was loyal, dared to fight to the death, took the lead, loved his soldiers, and won the hearts of his men.

So after he saved his life twice, suffered all the military canes punishment* of dereliction of duty for him once in a defeat, this Tao Zhenggang Daren fell down on his knees in front of him with a loud bang and swore the oath of allegiance with blood to follow him for life.This Lord Tao then wrote a letter to General Liu Bai, saying that he was not competent for the chief position and recommended Huang Fu Jie as the chief.2

Considering the identity of Huang Fu Jie, Liu Bai allowed it.

Huang Fu Jie is very clever, Zhang Ping does not want to use such subtle unfathomable remarks to describe the teenager he had watched growing up. But he also had to admit that sometimes even he couldn't see what he was trying to do. He just feels that the man was laying a deeper and deeper trap* that makes people more and more unable to find clues*.

In his opinion, Huangfu Jie was probably the least prince-like of all the princes. Without mentioning his childhood, just look at him today, and you can't see where he looks like a prince.

He was like any other soldier during the march. He will eat whatever soldiers eat, and he will sleep wherever soldiers sleep.

Whatever the soldier do, he basically would do. If you ask him to dig a hole for cooking, he can cook a pot for you at once. He will never be embarrassed by the black and gray on his face

Zhang Ping knew that it was all forced out. Shortly after their arrival here, a chase out of the city backfired and they were trapped in an unknown valley by the enemy outflanking them from the rear. There, Huangfu Jie and he and 60 other soldiers survived the entire 30 day siege.

If it wasn't for Huang Fu Jie to swear in front of the sixty soldiers that he would surely take them out alive, it would not be difficult for him and his skills to escape for his life.

But with sixty soldiers still surrounded by the enemy, it became a very difficult thing.

That was also the first time for Huang Fu Jie to prove what he had learned. He took these 60 soldiers to fight guerrilla warfare against the enemy and bringing the essence of winning more with less to the extreme.1

They finally stood out after a thirty-day siege. A total of 47 soldiers broke out alive with them that time, including two seriously wounded, and Huangfu Jie didn't leave them behind, risking his life to carry the men out with him.

At that time he was deeply moved by Huang Fu Jie's actions, not to mention the soldiers, the two soldiers who were carried out became two of Huangfu Jie's most loyal subordinates.

Even Tao Zhenggang was shocked by Huang Fu Jie's behavior, but when he wanted to report it, Huang Fu Jie stopped him. Tao Zhenggang was stunned and then expressed his understanding.

That night, when Zhang Ping saw the man face full of happiness and pride while he climbed on top of him seeking pleasure, all of a sudden he came to a revelation*.1

However, he did not despise Huang Fu Jie's behavior of buying people's hearts. On the contrary, he was full of admiration for him for the first time.

The man traded his life for winning a man's heart. Which Prince can do it?

In those thirty days, even if they were someone with great talent and profound knowledge, but they still passed by death again and again. For those thirty days they lacked water and food, and even sleeping became a luxury. Under that circumstance, how much courage and price should Huang Fu Jie pay to bring out 60 people alive?1

He is playing with other people's lives as well as his own.

As the saying goes: the soft is afraid of the firm, the firm is afraid of the unrestrained, the unrestrained is afraid of the fearless*, and the fearless is afraid of the shameless*.1

Huang Fu Jie, the prince, not only does he have no need for life, he also has no need for any face. Dragging him together, he also lost face in front of the third princes and Grand General Liu.

Such a person is full of wisdom and perseverance. What else can he not do in the world?

The cavalry and archery team went back. A figure left the team and came to the hillside.

Huang Fu Jie sat down beside him.

"How do you know I'm here? "

"Are you not angry anymore? "

Zhang Ping shook his head with a wicked smile on his face.

"What have you done? "

Zhang Ping did not conceal anything and spilled out his plans and arrangements one by one.

"How can you learn to be so cunning now?" Huang Fu Jie smiled, patted Zhang Ping on the shoulder and put his hand there.

"I don't think I've ever said that I'm honest either, right? "

Huang Fu Jie hugs him and laughs. Zhang Ping pushes him a bit, and he hugs him again.

Zhang Ping didn't refuse the intimacy anymore. Huang Fu Jie laughed enough, and they sat quietly in the cold night sky and looked at the distance.

"I say... that waist and ass twist of yours was looking pretty good today, How about you twist some more and let me have another look? " Huang Fu Jie's hand slipped all the way from Zhang Ping's waist to his ass.

Zhang Ping sneers, If you want to find a woman, go to red street. "

"I can only be worthy of a woman on the red street? " Huang Fu Jie let his hand leave the forbidden area.

Zhang Ping turned his head sideways. The tone of the boy seemed to be joking, but he recognized the irony and resentment implied in it.

"No, you can get or demand any good woman in the world, it's you who don't want them "

"Haha, baby, you're wrong. It's not possible for me to get what I want now. It will have to wait another five or six years."

Five or Six years? Do you know that you speak as if the world is under your control? Zhang Ping looked at the people around him carefully and said:

"Wangye, you will meet a good woman. Trust me. She will find you good, really like you, and wholeheartedly dedicated to you. "

"I don't want it. I just want you to like me. " Huang Fu Jie turned his head and whispered in Zhang Ping's ear," you like me, don't you? "

"Yeah, I like you." Zhang Ping touched his head, doting on him like he was doing to a child.

"Ping, you won't leave me, will you? "

"I won't. "

"I won't let you leave me. "3

"Mm-hmm. "Zhang Ping obviously didn't take this sentence to heart and asked casually," is it cold to sleep at night? "

"Still okay. "

"Let's go, the cold is getting worse. Go back soon and I'll pour a hot kettle* on your feet to take the chill off. At this time, the evil cold* are most likely to enter the body."

"... You can just sleep under my blanket that will do "

Huang Fu Jie looked at Zhang Ping with a warm smile in his eyes. Sometimes people's life is not such a simple sentence? There is no purpose, just a simple concern. No matter if you are the emperor or the common people, who doesn't want to have a person who really cares about himself to get rid of the cold and bring warmth?1

"Are you coming? If you don't leave, I'll throw you here and feed the wolf!"

A certain man stood up rather battered.

King An advises General Liu to raid the Xiongnu before the spring when the cold and frozen earth melted.

The reason was that the Xiongnu's strength was in their cavalry, but now the frozen soil had not yet thawed and the grass had not yet grown, and there was not enough food or livestock to go around. The Daya infantry, however, had 160,000 men and could be supplied with food, so if they could speed up their march they could catch the Xiongnu by surprise.

King An's plan was opposed by many of his generals. From November to the next year on March is the truce period, which was the tacit agreement of both sides. Not to mention that there is no more peace to be had by breaking this rule, and it is doubtful whether the Daya soldiers will be able to kill the enemy camp in the steep spring chill. It's a kind of move where you kill one thousand enemies but lose eight hundred of your own* that no one wants to use when it's not at the last moment.1

General Liu is hesitating. Huang Fu Jie also has not made a statement.

According to the news from his grandfather, the emperor is in good health and now he dotes on a Cairen* who just gave birth to a prince at the beginning of the year. The emperor Longyan is very happy. He immediately made the Cairen a second rank Chongyi*.2

The fifth prince is also granted as a king, but he has been staying in capital for two years. Because there are three examples of princes before him of which granted the title king but was not granted the fiefdom, the crown prince's faction didn't respond much to this.

However, in regard to King An, who was appointed as the military inspector of the army shortly after returning to Beijing, The Crown Prince's faction seems to be very nervous, and even plans to unite with King Hui to eliminate the King An's faction.

Huang Fu Jie understood why King An was so impatient. Although he had made some military achievements in the past three years, it was not enough to shock their royal father, nor to shake the crown prince's present status.

He would have to do something earth-shattering if he wanted to win a place in the court with the crown prince and the second son. For example: fighting off the Xiongnus.

And he has to move faster. Otherwise, the night will be long and dreamy* and when the eldest brother and the second brother feel threatened by him and decide to join forces to attack him first, he will surely die even if he has the support of General Liu behind him.1

Huang Fu Jie suddenly laughed. What did Zhang Ping say to him? ------- A man is forced by their situation.

That's pretty true.

Third hadn't been so eager to show off his talent and want to overpower the eldest and second oldest, if Lao Third hadn't had some merit and wanted to return to the capital to receive it, if Lao Third's desire to be an emperor hadn't been so obvious, maybe he wouldn't have had to prove his abilities so impetuously.

But the third can't act mediocre, and his mother's family wouldn't allow it in the first place. As he gets older, the more interests he has implicated behind him. Gradually, he became symbiotic with those interests, and even if he wanted to retreat, the interested party behind him would not let him.

This is the greatest sorrow of being a prince. The young child was being whispered all day long that he would grow up to be an emperor in the future, and slowly, that's all he wanted to do in life.

They are a group of people who have no way back. And when one of them becomes the emperor, in order to balance the power, they have to marry the daughters of the powerful minister, so the cycle goes on and on.

Touching his face, if he hadn't been born so ugly, would he have been forced to dance on the fire like the Third brother and not know it? Or will he turn out to be like Second brother, who would take advantage from left and right* yet always ready to stab someone on the back? Or could he also become Crown Prince, a target for everyone who wants to kill him1

Ha ha, this face has made me who I am now. If Zhang Ping knew that I am worse than all those princes combined, what would he think?2

As soon as Huang Fu Jie returned to the barracks, he found Zhang Ping meditating in the barracks.

"You hurt? Who did it? "Huang Fu Jie's heart tightened and asked anxiously as he closed the door and walked quickly to the bed.

Zhang Ping opened his eyes and smiled bitterly : "I'm fine. I met a good fighter and got slapped by him. But it was worth it, I saw the secret order."

"Was it someone close to Hu Rong? "

"Wrong. It's the people around your old man. " Zhang Ping stretched his waist, his body shook slightly.

Huang Fu Jie helped him, laid him down carefully, and shook off the quilt to cover him.

Zhang Ping smiled. "Sometimes I don't know whether you are the Wangye or I am the Wangye."

"Aren't you my big brother. "Huang Fu Jie also sat beside the bed laughing.

"I wouldn't dare. Truth be told, I don't know when you would kill your big brother. "

The smile on Huang Fu Jie's face remained unchanged, but the light in his eyes went cold.

Zhang Ping coughed softly, he knew that he had said something wrong.

"You are my sworn brother, not the same. " Huang Fu Jie suddenly said.

"Yeah, I'm still your slave. This Big Brother name is just a malt to trick me into feeling better about myself. Well, your face is already scary enough without being angry, if you keep panning out like that, what if I pee in my pants later?"

The angry Cavalry Captain Wangye forcefully smashed out four words, "I'll change it for you."

Now Zhang Ping did not dare to poke through the hornet's nest* anymore, everything is in moderation, he did not want to walk like a crab the next day.1

"It's true that the bigger you get, the less you can joke. Wait when you really become an emperor. I'll say a wrong word you would behead me. "Zhang Ping whispered.

Huang Fu Jie has good ears, his two hands pinch Zhang Ping's face a pull, pulling Zhang Ping up to make him cry out, His tears would soon come out.

"Don't worry, I won't drag you to behead, the most I'll do is ask someone to pull down your pants and whip you with a plank....." The fierce looking tall teenager's throat moved, he was just saying, but why did he have such a clear picture in his head?

"When I'm free, I'll choose some of the best materials to carve the shape according to my words. If you make me angry later, I'll teach you with them. "

Zhang Ping's cheeks were pulled unable to say a full word, and he could only shake both hands desperately to show that he didn't want it.

Huang Fu Jie saw that he was in pain and had tears streaming down his eyes, before letting go. Poor Zhang Ping was teary-eyed and had two big red and purple rouge marks on his face.

Zhang Ping touched his face and glared at him angrily.

"All right, don't cry, good boy*" Huang Fu Jie saw that he was angry and quickly coaxed him again, lowering his head and trying to kiss his face.1

One side of Zhang Ping's face dodge away.

"Wangye, it's really time for you to find a woman. "

"Ping, don't be angry. You can pinch it back. Here, I'll pinch it for you. "

"I've heard about King An's proposal. What are you going to do?" Zhang Ping held his palm out against his outstretched face.

The young man's face rubbed back and forth against his palm, his voice low : "What else can I do? He came to me as soon as he arrived and asked me to help him. If I say no, he's going to ask General Liu to send me to the front lines."

"He threatened you?" Zhang Ping is angry. He really treats them as soft persimmons!1

Huang Fu Jie grab his hand and began to nip on his fingers.

"Hey! I'm talking with you seriously! "

"Ping, I want to. "

"How many times have I told you to go to a woman if you want to! Don't be so self abased all the time. You dare not even go to a woman's bed. If you dare not even go to the prostitute's bed, what will you do with your Imperial harem* in the future? "1

"No, I'll be soft as soon as I see those women smile at me with contempt or fear. "

"Really? "

"Really. Ping, won't you have pity on me... "

"Won't you stop acting? When I say that you have low self-esteem, you will play the role of a pitiful person. When I said last time that you shouldn't hate women, you act like you were heartbroken for a woman. How about last time? Who is that shameless person who said that he couldn't get it up unless for a eunuch! "1

Huang Fu Jie was shocked. "Ping, you remembered wrongly. I didn't say that I couldn't get it up unless for a eunuch. I was clearly saying I couldn't get it up unless for you."

"Huang Fu Jie! "

"Okay, okay, tell me about the secret order that Hu Rong brought, and we'll discuss how to deal with King An later. Then we'll do the cloud and rain* thing. Be good and obedient, I'll make you comfortable later."1

Zhang Ping was powerless and closed his eyes in a feeble manner : "Have you forgotten that I just got slapped?"

"You are so strong, a slap is nothing. The last time you helped me bear a twenty army baton, you even did it with me once at night."

"That's you son of a bitch! "

"Okay okay, I'm a son of a bitch. Now can you tell me what the secret message my old man brought to that castrated person? "1

"I am also a castrated person. "Although Zhang Ping hated Hu Rong, but he was also a eunuch, if someone scolded castrated-person straight to his face. He was always uncomfortable.

"Yes, yes, familiarize your ears now, afterward you're guaranteed a lot of chances to call a castrated person behind someone's back later."

Zhang Ping...what else could he say? A moment ago he was weak, but now he is at his last breath*. He believed that when Huang Fu Jie got what he wanted, he'll be able to take his breath.1

The next day he was called to the meeting again.

This time, there are more generals supporting Wang An's opinion.

King An looked at Huang Fu Jie and saw a warning in his eyes. Huang Fu Jie deliberately avoided his vision.

The King of An was furious. Good for you, you ungrateful ugly Fourth! Don't you forget that this isn't the territory of General Yang Jing, the general here is surnamed Liu.

Someone specifically asked Huang Fu Jie for his opinion, but as usual, Huang Fu Jie never expressed his opinion and only said that he would do as the general commanded.

Over the past three years, the generals, including general Liu's army, still have no idea about the depth of this cavalry captain Wangye.

Most of the generals were under the impression that this prince was of average military leadership talent, and would not have been able to sit on the throne without Tao Zhenggang's support. They also have an understanding attitude towards Tao Zhenggang's concession. After all, being the boss* of a prince is not an easy task.1

Now this prince did not support his brother's opinion, but did not visibly oppose it either, instead taking General Liu's lead which just happened to coincide with the proper attitude of a subordinate military officer.

Two days later, Liu Bai agreed with King An's suggestion. Decided to attack the Xiongnu before the soil frost melted. arranged a combat plan, and among the list of frontline generals suddenly had the title of martial virtue cavalry captain.

King An beautifully said: The prince took the lead in fighting to greatly boost morale. And he will also appear on the battlefield to kill the enemy with all the generals.

Under the rule of justice, Huang Fu Jie did not say much, and immediately led the soldiers to fight. Zhang Ping stared at King An with a cold eye, and did not understand how these princes did not care about their brotherhood at all. His Wangye just didn't support him clearly in the council. He could even hearthlesly retaliate by sending his own younger brother in the frontline.

Ten days later, the news came from the front, and King An immediately led a large number of infantry to charge and kill the Xiongnu war camp.

In another ten days, the rear received an urgent report : King An had been captured.

After receiving this secret report, General Liu's eyes went black.

Zhang Ping squatted on the ground to stake out the tent.

Anyone who knows the weather can see that there may be strong winds tonight and into the morning, Huang Fu Jie immediately ordered to consolidate the tent.

After staking the tent, Zhang Ping bent over and entered the tent.

Huang Fu Jie is looking at the sandbox in front of him.

"In these two days, we lost in a row and retreated all the way here. The generals of the rear army are shrinking their responsibilities for the capture of King An, even God is not on our side. However, the Xiongnu's fought bravely to keep the defense line. Do you think we will really win this war? "Zhang Ping frowned deeply.

Although Huang Fu Jie's leadership is strong, their frontline has not lost much. But Zhang Ping still felt distressed for those losses that could obviously be avoided.

He got along well with these people, and this team did not look down on him because he was a eunuch. Besides, they have been together for three years, no matter how they have feelings, how can it not be sad to see them sacrifice so freely. And other vanguards suffered even more losses.

"Retreat. "Huang Fu Jie Spat out words coldly.

"You can only retreat? "

"We must retreat. King An has been captured and his army is in turmoil. In addition to the harsh weather, it wouldn't be long before the soldiers would suffer frostbite and freeze to death. Winter is not an easy time to fight. It is not good for the other party, it is not a weakness for us."

"And the closer we get, the more Xiongnu's will resist. Once we go deep into the hinterland, if we give them a chance to burn our food ration, our casualties will be incalculable. "

"You knew this would happen from the beginning?"

Huang Fu Jie shook his head, his masked face making it impossible to see his expression.

"The idea of Lao Third is not bad. But not all the time this method is applicable. This is what is called live use in the art of war. I don't know which one of the higher-ups pointed out to Lao Third that attacking when the Xiongnu are at their temporary deficit in resources* can be a brilliant move. But there are a few necessary conditions."1

Zhang Ping put on a listening posture.

"The first is the soldier's morale. You want the soldiers to stay well in the camp. complete with food and drink for the winter. would you be willing in your place to let them pull out their battalions and risk death, frostbite, or even starvation to fight the enemy under such circumstances, would you do it?"

"If their generals were to be one mind page as Lao Third and The Great General Liu, this kind of thing might have been avoided as well. But these generals, like their soldiers, had fought three years in a row, and they were already tired. The winter truce has also become the default rule for both sides. And yet this rule was to be broken because of the selfish interests of a prince, and of course they were reluctant.

"Don't the generals and soldiers want to beat back the Huns and end the war? you may ask. That's right, everyone wants to end the war quickly, get paid and go home to their wives and take a daughter-in-law. Being fast doesn't mean unnecessary sacrifice."

"Even General Liu's agreement to the attack was selfish. How could his subordinates feel at ease killing the enemy when even he felt unsure of the matter? That's the second point, the leader and subordinates should be of one mind.

"The human heart is a very interesting thing. If you control it properly, you can win. If you are not in control, even if you are several times the strength of the other party, you may lose. It's just that this time the military inspector was King An, and that King An was captured. In order to show his grandson's military skills, General Liu asked his deputy to lead the army and secretly ordered him to obey his instructions. "

"When King An is captured, the army will lose its head. The generals who dare not bear the responsibility just want to retreat and rescue him. With a retreat, there is no doubt that another battle will be defeated. "

"What would you do if it were you?"

"Plan ahead.There are two kinds of strategies, one is called quick witted, which emphasizes improvisation in the light of the time and place; the other is to go through a well-thought-out, multi-sided thinking and planning. We should only act after we have a good backup plan, a 99% certainty, and a good morale then we can start."

"This proposal from Lao Third should fall into the latter category, and if he puts this plan off until this time next year, his chances of winning will increase considerably. Too bad he doesn't have the time." Huang Fu Jie thought of the contents of the secret order that castrated person Hu had brought and smiled coldly.

"Speaking of the capture of King An, I can't think of anything else. He was deep in the center of the camp. The day the Xiongnu unsuccessfully tried to burn our food rations, how did they have a chance to bring King An out of the army? How did they find the King An? And how did they take him quietly from the barracks of the camp?" Zhang Ping's eyes were filled with suspicion as he looked at Huang Fu Jie.

Huang FuJie took it as not understanding the meaning in Zhang Ping's eyes and said plainly : "It's not hard to get Lao Third out of the camp. Just find two people who are better at it and then know the tent he lives in and bring them out while everyone's attention is drawn past the fire. I remember there were several good men like that in the Xiongnu camp."

"But how does the other side know which camp he lives in? "?

"If Juedun can arrange for a blacksmith to live in the city, why can't he put men in the barracks?"

This was a good opportunity for him.

At first he was worried that the third would be at his disadvantage if he took the position of military inspector. Look, his brother really put his idea on him, and even sent him to court death in the frontline.

Very good, he was still hesitating whether to do so quickly. But Well, However, Zhang Ping's message to him made him decide that Emperor Sheng was giving power to King An while defending his third son.

When he got the news that Xiongnu had attacked the ration granary behind the camp, he thought he had a chance.1

When he thought of Huyandan, the general of Xiongnu who had failed to burn the rations , and saw King An on the side of the road, Huang Fu Jie still wanted to laugh ── so brilliant!
