"The faint king is bloodthirsty, so his son is naturally close to black."

Qi Wang Xiaoming stood on a high hill, handing the document in his hand to Wu Yong, the prefect of Shengzhou behind him, with his hands behind his back, looking towards the battlefield in the west where killing sounds were everywhere.A large flock of crows flitted over the two armies that were desperately fighting, croaking, and flew towards the capital under the setting sun.

This time King Qi's army went to Beijing. Since Shengzhou was the closest to Zhongzhou, the army led by Wu Yong, the prefect of Shengzhou, was the first to join King Qi.

Wu Yong is a middle-aged man who is nearly forty years old, and he has a very close personal relationship with the second prince. His ability to become the prefect of Shengzhou depends on the operation of the second prince in the court.This time the second prince issued a call to crusade against the Hunjun, and he was the first to respond.

He took the letter that Xiao Ming handed over, and opened it up for a closer look, while the counselors under Xiao Ming's command also came over to watch.

The letter has two main contents:

One is that Xiao Beiheng obeyed his father's order and defeated Xiao Zhuo together with Prince Jing's son.Everyone was happy at first, but Xiao Kai suddenly changed his face and attacked the Dingbei Army, Xiao Beiheng had no choice but to kill Xiao Kai.Xiao Beiheng was very saddened by the result of brothers killing each other, and accepted Xiao Kai's army with tears in his eyes. Now the Dingbei Army has reached [-] people.

Second, after learning of Xiao Zhuo's whereabouts, Xiao Beiheng sent his teacher Ji Zhong to persuade him to surrender.Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhuo was so vicious that he killed his mentor and fled. Xiao Beiheng ordered soldiers to arrest him. At the same time, he decided to support Mr. Ji's family with his own salary.

"Xiao Zhuo was famous for his cruelty when he was conquering Beidi," the counselor shook his head again and again, "I didn't expect that he would be able to do this not only to his enemies, but also to his mentor."

Originally, after reading the first article, he wanted to flatter Xiao Beiheng, but when he saw Xiao Zhuo killing his master, he was shocked and couldn't help blurting out.

Wu Yong, the prefect of Shengzhou, was a little puzzled, and asked: "Isn't it possible? When Xiao Zhuo was in the palace, he was impeccable in everything he did. When he went to Beidi, he never lost his etiquette. How could it suddenly become like this now?"

The counselor said: "Prefect Wu was deceived by Xiao Zhuo's appearance. He usually disguises very well, but when facing life and death, he will definitely reveal his true nature. Didn't Emperor Yongde also hide deeply, since he killed the queen?" , and gradually exposed his cruelty."

Xiao Ming snorted coldly, and said: "After the faint king is killed, the crown prince is abolished, and he still uses witchcraft as an excuse. Afterwards, he will kill King Jing, Concubine De, imperial doctor, Duke Shen...there is no excuse for the dead. Opportunity. He claimed that Prince Jing molested the virtuous concubine. Given his old age, there was no reason why he would travel thousands of miles to Beijing just to molest the virtuous concubine. Concubine De was even more strange. Ruo De concubine was framed by witchcraft The mastermind of the emperor should be imprisoned in the sky prison, interrogated by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, convicted and executed, in order to subdue the world. As for the imperial doctor Shen Guogong and others, it is even more inexplicable, which can only be explained by madness. Now his son has committed such madness as killing his teacher. It is also inevitable. Since ancient times, like father, like son, father and son are like raccoon dogs, so why be confused.”

Wu Yong thought about it, and said: "According to what Mr. said, the faint king killed so many people. Could it be that some important secret related to life and death was involved?"

Xiao Ming said: "It's okay, this time I should go to Beijing to attack the Hunjun in response to the Second Prince's letter, but I will not kill innocent people indiscriminately like the Hunjun. I must ask the reason and correct the crime... By the way, where is the Second Prince's army now? ?”

The counselor said: "Reporting to King Qi, according to the latest news, the second prince's army has almost reached the eastern part of Liangzhou, but..."

"But what?" Xiao Ming turned his head to look at the counselor.

"Bierguan Zhao Shuai thinks that the second prince's use of his son to beg his father is treasonous. Besides, as a servant of Dayan, he should be loyal to Emperor Yongde and refuse to supply military rations. The second prince's army has been... always in the villages and towns along the way... that ...cough...to collect food and grass."

It is said that the collection was thought of with great difficulty, but in fact it is looting everywhere.

Wherever the army passes by, not a single blade of grass grows.Although the counselor didn't say it clearly, he could already imagine the scene along the way.

After Xiao Ming heard this, his brows were furrowed, and he sighed: "The poor people have suffered... But the second prince has no source of food and grass, and it is a helpless act to maintain the army."

Although Zhao Mu and him are good friends, they are still the courtiers of Emperor Yongde after all.Now that he responds to the second prince's appeal to go to Beijing, Zhao Mu has a hard time at both ends.It would be an act of treason to supply food and grass to the second prince.If he didn't supply it, it would be tantamount to being sorry for him as the second prince's ally.The frontier guards have a strong force, and it has given him great face to stand still and remain neutral.

Zhao Mu couldn't ask for more.

Xiao Ming turned his head and said to the counselor: "Quickly send a letter to Bei Heng, saying that the king already knows what happened in Jingzhou. When he comes back from Jingzhou this time, don't ask Zhao Mu to supply him with food and grass. Since Jingzhou Liangzhou has already decided to order him to quickly collect food and grass from the counties of the two states to supply the Second Prince's army."

The counselor took the order.

Wu Yong said to Xiao Ming: "Why did King Qi make such an arrangement? Although the border gate refuses to supply the second prince's army with food and grass, I, Shengzhou, can supply it for me."

Xiao Ming raised his hand to stop Wu Yong and said:

"Prefect Wu, you and I have a total of more than [-] troops. Even with the food and grass in Anzhou and Shengzhou, it is only enough. Now the prefect of Yuzhou is quite strategic. He did not lead the army to the king of Jingqin, but led The army attacked the Anzhou grain road. If there is a loss of the Anzhou grain road, our army here will have to rely on Wu Taishou's grain. What's more, the second prince is in Liangzhou now, so Beiheng can supply him nearby, which is the fastest."

Only then did Wu Yong understand, and sighed: "The son of the king of Qi led [-] troops to conquer the north this time, but he rejected Xirong from the north and settled two prefectures to the south. This is truly an unrivaled achievement."

"Originally, with his ability, he couldn't be Xiao Zhuo's opponent," Xiao Ming showed a smile on his face, "It is indeed beyond my king's expectation to be able to achieve this level."

"Will King Qi want to write a letter to reward him?" Wu Yong asked.

Xiao Ming shook his head: "For the time being, this child, Beiheng, is arrogant and shows his sharpness. If the king confers the reward now, he will definitely forget about it. Now the Hunjun still has more than [-] troops here, and there is also King Qin of Yuzhou The army, not to mention the fact that Xiao Zhuo has not yet been punished, if he comes to the capital to help the faint king, the war will probably be unpredictable..."

Wu Yong was startled, and asked: "With the strength of the Qi Wang Army and the Shengzhou Army, and the brilliance and martial arts of the prince, do you still have to worry about a mere Xiao Zhuo?"

In his opinion, King Qi's commanding troops to fight a war is already extremely powerful, but he did not expect King Qi to attach so much importance to Xiao Zhuo.

"Although Xiao Zhuo is benevolent and unrighteous, this king is also deeply afraid of leading the army to fight." Xiao Ming said, "Wu Taishou, we should order the army to fight hard, and strive to defeat the enemy in front of us within a few days, and when the capital is surrounded, Xiao Zhuo It's useless even if you come."

Wu Yong deeply agrees.

Xiao Ming walked down the high post, and said to the envoy: "Order the three armies to fight the enemy bravely. This king personally beats the drums to help."

The drums sounded loudly, and the soldiers of King Qi's army looked back and saw that it was King Qi himself beating the drums. Their morale was immediately boosted, and the front that had been stalemate began to move forward slowly.
