V2.Chapter 308

In Xitang city_ () urged by the hidden arrows, Li Dan decides to go to the palace that night to find Li Hong and find an opportunity to steal the order. There was nothing to say during the day. That night, Li Dan went to the palace as planned.

He is the crown prince of the state of Zhen. Entering and leaving the palace is the same as returning to his own home. He can enter and leave at will without guard notification. As soon as he inquired from the palace maids below, he learned that Li Hong was still in the room and had not slept yet. He turned his mind. First, he went to the dining room and asked the palace maids inside to prepare some dishes Li Hong liked to eat, and then prepared some pots of good wine. He carried it in person and went to the room.

Hearing that Li Dan arrived, Li Hong was not surprised. Even if he didn't come, Li Hong planned to send someone to find him.

The current situation is not optimistic about the state of Zhen. Millions of enemy troops besiege Xitang. Once the city is broken, not only will they be finished, but also the state of Zhen will be destroyed. There are many things he needs to explain to Li Dan. It's really not good. He would rather fight his life and cover Li Dan to break out, leaving a blood for the royal family of the state of Zhen and enabling the state of Zhen to maintain.

He asked Li Dan to come in. The latter entered the room, first saluted, then walked forward, slowly put the tray containing wine and vegetables on the table, and said softly: "I heard that my father hasn't rested yet, and my son's minister specially asked someone to prepare some wine and vegetables."

Li Hong smiled, waved to Li Dan and asked him to sit next to him. Li Hong has twenty-four sons in total. His favorite is his eldest son Li Dan. The latter really didn't disappoint him. He has been smart, knowledgeable and knowledgeable since childhood. As a prince, he is neither arrogant nor impetuous, and never bullies others. Everyone praises his loyalty and benevolence.

"Dan'er enters the palace late at night, but he has something to find his father?"

"I'm worried that my father will work for state affairs, so I'm here to visit." As he spoke, he put the wine and vegetables on the tray one by one on the table and said, "these are what my father likes to eat. My son's ministers eat wine with my father!"

"Good!" Li Hong smiled and nodded, but looking at the dishes on the table, he had no appetite at all.

He picked up Li Dan's full glass, looked up and drank the wine in it. Then he poured himself and drank for three times. Then he stopped and asked Li Dan, "dan'er, do you think we can hold the capital this time?"

That's too difficult. There's basically no possibility of success!

Li Dan thought so, but he didn't dare to say so. "It's not easy for the enemy to defend the city, even if there are more than ten million soldiers," said Hanwang. "It's not so easy for the enemy to defend the city."

Li Hong smiled bitterly and said, "it is difficult for the coalition forces to capture the capital for a moment, but what if we adopt the strategy of encircling but not attacking?"

The grain reserves of the state of Zhen have always been small. Even if the capital is in Xitang, the food in the city is only enough for March. When March is over, the food in the city will be cut off. I'm afraid there is no need for coalition forces to attack at that time, and the capital will be trapped to death.

Why doesn't Li Dan not understand this truth? He said with a forced smile: "father, don't forget that there are hundreds of thousands of troops in the west of China. As long as the central army in the West saves the capital, the coalition will be defeated."

Li Hong shook his head and said anxiously, "my father is afraid that the central army in the West will not return to the capital and will be intercepted and killed by the Sichuan Mozambique coalition army halfway!"

The Allied forces are not only the wave outside Xitang City, but also a wave of Sichuan Mozambique allied forces with hundreds of thousands of troops. This is why Li Dan believes that the capital is difficult to preserve.

Hearing his father's words, Li Dan turned his eyes and realized that the opportunity had come, He said: "my ministers think that the enemy is strong and I am weak, so we must not fight with the enemy; the enemy has logistics to replenish food and grass, and now the capital is a trapped and isolated city, so we must not delay the war for too long. Only now, there is only one way to be feasible. While the coalition army is not stable outside the city, we adopt the strategy of sneak attack at night!"

As he spoke, he Teng stood up, took two steps backward, then knelt on one knee and stepped in and said, "father, my son and minister are willing to lead a Death Squadron. Tonight, they will go out of the city to sneak into the enemy camp and take them by surprise. In this war, my son and minister are confident that they can succeed in one attack!"

Li Dan can sit in the position of the prince for so long, safe and sound, and his mind is by no means simple.

He is also worried that once he steals the token, if the matter is exposed or the city gate is not opened, he will not be able to explain the past. Even if he is the crown prince and is suspected of collaborating with the enemy, he will not be able to protect his head. Now he volunteered to fight. If Li Hong agrees, the token will be obtained smoothly. If he doesn't agree, he will steal it again, even if he is exposed, he won't have to be afraid any more, He can use the excuse that he is going out of the city to attack the enemy camp. Although the means are suspected of bullying the king, the original intention is good. It is out of loyalty to the country, the father will not blame himself, and the ministers can't impeach him. It can be said that his seemingly temporary offer to go to war is actually a thoughtful way to kill two birds with one stone, It's also to book an insurance in advance for what he's going to do next.

Li Dan is really smart, but it's a pity that his intelligence is not used in how to deal with the coalition, but in his father.

Li Hong is a rude man. How can you know what ghost idea Li Dan is making in his heart.

Li Hong was very moved to hear that he was willing to go out of the city and attack the enemy camp in person. Many people say that although Li Dan is talented, he is too weak in force and cowardly in temperament. But today, when the enemy is in front of him, Li Dan is willing to fight with the enemy regardless of the danger of his life. How can life do this? Li Hong showed a relieved smile on his face, stood up, pulled Li Dan up and said meaningfully: "dan'er is a Grand Prince. How can he personally experience the matter of storming into battle in the future?"

"But -" Li Dan expected Li Hong's refusal, but he still pretended to be unwilling.

Li Hong waved his hand and said, "needless to say, you can't go anywhere tonight. Just stay in the palace and drink with your father. Our father and son haven't had a drink at the same table for a long time."

Li danxiang sighed with great disappointment, and then said, "OK!" As he spoke, he took up his glass with both hands and said, "my son, respect my father!"

Without hesitation, Li Hong drank the glass and drank the wine in it in one gulp.

His father and son changed glasses and soon drank all the bottles of wine brought by Li Dan. Without Li Dan's words, Li Hong, who has a rare and cheerful temperament over the past few days, made a big rise, and made people put on several pots of spirits and continue to drink with Li Dan.

In fact, Li Hong's drinking capacity is good, but because of the depression in his heart, he got drunk very quickly. When he and Li Dan finished drinking the sixth pot of wine, they began to sit still on the collapse. Their bodies kept shaking left and right, their drunk eyes were hazy, their eyes were dull, and their tongues were big when they spoke.

"Dan'er... My father feels that this time... I'm afraid I'm doomed... I'll fight for my father all my life... I'm not afraid of death... I've been a father for a long time in the mountains of corpses on the battlefield. You're the most worried person for my father. However, you don't have to be afraid. Before the Allied forces break the city, my father will find a way to cover you out of the siege and revive my great integrity in the future..."

It's the so-called truth after drinking. Li Hong's words moved Li Dan unusually and made him more firm. He must not fight with the coalition forces to the end. Surrender is the only way out. Only in this way can he save Zhenguo and his father. Even when the son of heaven asks for forgiveness in the future, he is willing to go on behalf of his father and die on behalf of his father.

"Father, you're drunk. My son's minister will send you back to your bedroom to have a rest!" As he spoke, Li Dan helped Li Hong up and walked outside the room. The maids and bodyguards around wanted to come forward to help. Li Dan glared at the people angrily and shouted in a deep voice, "get out of here!"

He's the one who dares to offend the Empress Dowager. Li Dan helped Li Hong to the bedroom, and the maids and bodyguards followed him from a distance. There was little need to deliberately cover up his actions. Li Dan just scratched at his father's waist, took the token hanging on the jade belt into his hand, and then naturally put it into his arms. Not to mention that the palace maids and bodyguards behind didn't see his little movements. Even if they did, no one dared to say half a word more.

Li Hong was also unaware, While walking, he blurted out: "Dan'er... My father has made up his mind... I'd rather die than wait to die! My father wants to go out of the city and fight to the death with the enemy... In addition, I'm going to send two generals Gauss and lin ning to escort you to break through the siege. They are both powerful generals in a million. If my father has the main force to contain the enemy, it's not difficult for you to break through the siege from the other side..."

"Yes, yes, yes! The father is right!" Li Dan nodded and agreed.

Send Li Hong back to his bedroom. Li Dan subconsciously touched the token in his arms, then took a deep breath and walked outside the palace.

When he got out of the palace and got into the carriage, he immediately rushed back to his childe's house. At this time, in the lobby of the prince's residence, there were more than a dozen generals of Zhenguo dressed in armor. These generals belonged to the crown prince party and were all confidants of Li Dan.

They were clear about Li Dan's plan. People were fidgeting in the lobby and waiting anxiously. Now people's mood is very complex, that is, they hope Li Dan to succeed and hope him not to succeed.

No one is afraid of death, and Zhenren is no exception. In the current situation of Zhenguo, there is only a dead end to a hard war with the coalition forces. The generals of the crown prince party don't want to fight with the coalition forces any more, and finally make Li Hong's martyrs.

However, it is risky and extremely risky for Kaicheng to welcome the Allied forces into the city. Success is good. Once it fails, not only the lives of himself and his family will be difficult to protect. Even if he dies, he will fall into a curse and become a sinner of Zhenguo.

This is a gamble of heaven and hell step by step, and the tension and complexity of people's emotions can be understood.

Hearing the report from the servants of the childe's residence, the childe came back. All the generals stood up with the same shock and looked out of the hall with the same eyes.

With the sound of hurried footsteps, Li Dan quickly walked into the lobby. Seeing him, the generals asked in unison, "did you get a token, young master?"
