At present, the Fourteenth Prince has no intention of launching a large-scale attack, but is recuperating. Chen Ye knows that the Fourteenth Prince is waiting for the barbarians and Emperor Han Qing to fight until both sides are almost exhausted. The Fourteenth Prince must

He led hundreds of thousands of troops straight to the capital. The Fourteenth Prince still needs time to properly manage the troops below. After all, a large part of them are from the Cui family, and the power needs to be balanced. The Fourteenth Prince is not a fool either.

I don’t want to become a hollowed-out emperor, and the current cooperation is just a temporary measure.

The idea of ​​the barbarians is that they cannot go to the south in a short time, so they can only try to get there slowly. As long as they take the gateway to the Central Plains this time, they can attack the Central Plains at will in the future. The capital of Zhongshan Kingdom is the fat on their lips, and they can eat it whenever they want.

You can eat it anytime.

In Chen Ye's opinion, the most dangerous thing in Zhongshan Kingdom is not the Fourteenth Prince, but the barbarians. If they can't resist the barbarian attack this time, Chen Ye doesn't think that the Cui family or the Fourteenth Prince's hundreds of thousands

The main reason why the army can resist is that the army is too weak. Sometimes it is called an army of 500,000 people, but in fact only more than 300,000 people can fight.

For example, a country is like a family.

You can slowly solve the problem within your own family. The problem of barbarians is the key to the survival of the country. History is so amazingly similar. As long as it reaches this point, the country will basically deal with the internal affairs slowly first, and then attack the foreign invaders.

At present, the Fourteenth Prince and the barbarians have reached a certain political alliance.

Now Chen Ye is more curious about how Fengzhou City, which claims to have an army of 150,000, was defeated so easily. Yu Anping was also seriously injured. There may be a possibility that this barbarian is Yu Anping.

The question is, what does the prince want? Even if the emperor dies, the prince will still be the same prince. There is no need to continue doing this.

Chen Ye was a little confused and couldn't understand that the emperor didn't have any thoughts.

Now that the court is under control, the only people in the court who are the second prince and the prince are seizing power every day. People from the prince's lineage want the second prince to deal with the barbarians, and the prince to deal with the fourteenth prince. The two factions are fighting in the court every day.

After all the quarrels, Emperor Han Qing now began to miss Chen Ye, and the Emperor passed Chen Ye's memorial without any problems.

It's just that Chen Ye analyzed everything but the Fourteenth Prince. Chen Ye didn't know it, but Emperor Han Qing knew it very well.

He understands his brother and Chen Ye.

However, the civil and military officials will not let Chen Ye go. Chen Ye is sending false information, which can be considered as collaborating with the enemy. His home should be ransacked and his head should be beheaded.

The explanation in the Jiangnan area is that Chen Ye's whereabouts are unknown and he should have been killed by members of the Cui family, so Chen Ye should not be an enemy. The strangest thing is that Chen Ye's family suffered an inexplicable landslide and the whole family died.

After hearing the news, Emperor Han Qing didn't eat for several days.

Emperor Han Qing was looking forward to Chen Ye's return and wanted to give Chen Ye a slap in the face, but when he thought of Chen Ye's disabled legs, he felt a little distressed. Eunuch Zhou saw this. No.

At this time, Eunuch Zhou sounded like the leader of the Chamber of Commerce and directly said that anyone who had trouble with the Chamber of Commerce would have trouble with the thousands of eunuchs in the palace. As soon as these words came out, many people immediately retracted their restless hands.

The emperor now spends money every day, not only for peace talks, but also for buying supplies, food and grass. He also needs to recruit new soldiers. Originally, the court wanted to recruit Chen Ye's fire army, but the fire army just disobeyed the order and left. Before leaving, let's have a word.

, "We must wait for the news about Chen Ye. The Huo Army has not received a penny from the court, and it is not expensive for the court to deploy." In fact, these Huo Army officers all know that everyone tacitly knows that Chen Ye is still alive, so we must wait for Chen Ye.

Ye arrives.

While others are fighting fiercely, Chen Ye's Fire Army is still digging canals. As long as the water from the Yellow River is dug through Beijing, as long as Beijing is not destroyed by traitors, there will basically be no problem. Food, grass and soldiers can be transported by ship. Every day the Fire Army

They all worked from dawn to dusk to dig canals and set aside a certain amount of time for training.

Lu Mengjun is now a popular figure next to His Majesty the Emperor. He needs Lu Mengjun’s protection for eating, drinking and sleeping. It’s not for any reason. The palace is full of people from the crown prince and the second prince. Only the people from Jinyiwei can guarantee their loyalty to the emperor. The emperor

At present, only the Jin Yiwei can be fully trusted. Emperor Han Qing himself lacks Chen Ye no matter what he does now.

Chen Ye and Chen Yi pretended to be husband and wife and rushed to Liaocheng, Shandong Province, because the intersection of the Grand Canal and the Yellow River is in Liaocheng. The Huo Army is currently stationed in Liaocheng to complete the first phase of the canal. Chen Ye can

Round there.

Gu Yun's whereabouts will definitely not satisfy the Jin Yiwei. Lu Mengjun must know Chen Ye's whereabouts and have not exposed them. This shows that the relationship between Lu Mengjun and Chen Ye is quite good.

After coming out, Chen Yi could also collect a steady stream of information. This time Chen Shi's betrayal had a huge impact on the People's Guard, especially in the south. Many people, even if they were loyal to Chen Ye, could not collect information. But Chen Ye

There was no panic. Chen Ye's failure this time was due to two points, which he also summarized. The first one was that he did not expect that the Fourteenth Prince had been hiding it all the time, and that the Fourteenth Prince wanted to be the emperor.

The second point lies in Chen Shi's life experience. Chen Ye did not understand it clearly, and the people who served him did not know it yet. If Chen Shi served for the Lu Alliance Army, Chen Ye would definitely have been killed by Chen Shi in Nanjing City.

Chen Ye vowed to never make this kind of mistake again. If he had not made a plan for this mistake, something might have happened to Chen Ye's wife and children.

The lesson this time was painful for Chen Ye. Chen Ye used Chen Yi's name to summon Chen Er and Chen Wu to Liaocheng, Shandong to discuss arrangements for the People's Guard.

Chen Ye rushed to Liaocheng quietly and even put on makeup. In order not to reveal Chen Ye's identity, he did not send anyone to keep in touch with Zhao Xiao and the others underground in the capital. He was afraid of exposing himself and his family's information and causing disaster to their family.

.

On the other side, there was a fusion in the court. The prince was sitting in the capital. The second prince was in Huhe and was ordered to continue to block the barbarians. This was the emperor's personal order. The emperor meant to prepare to lead troops to the Yangtze River to fight with the fourteenth prince.

The decisive battle in person was unanimously opposed by the ministers. After all, the Fourteenth Prince had an army of 500,000 people, and the barbarian army was not as large as the Fourteenth Prince.

The second prince here is arranging troops in the camp on the front line. All the scouts sent there have disappeared. Ever since the fall of Fengzhou City, Yu Anping has lost his trace, and there are also troops brought by the barbarians.

After leaving the desert, there are no traces of disappearance.

The most troublesome thing is that the scouts sent out cannot receive information. Without intelligence, the second prince Han Hui fell into a passive situation. This time Nangong Yu also followed the second prince. This time the second prince also brought his own troops, which must have

You must fight a good battle, show your own power, and drive away the barbarians so that the people of Zhongshan can live a good life.

He is not as cowardly as the prince, who is only obsessed with power and has no courage. He wants to change his status among civil and military officials through this fighting spirit. It is best to be able to control the military power of the country. If he has 300,000 troops.

You can do whatever you want, as long as you win, it doesn't matter this moment.

At worst, you can also cross the river to govern and kill two birds with one stone.

Nangong Yu lay on the map and looked at the terrain map. After all, it was impossible for the barbarians' hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to be without traces. The scouts for trivial matters were all in the direction of the desert. Moreover, as soon as the scouts were sent out, there were no traces nearby.

They are all in mountainous areas, and so many barbarians would not hide in the mountains.

As soon as I thought of this, I quickly went out to find the second prince Han Hui. Han Hui was chatting with the soldiers about daily life and boosting the morale of the soldiers.

Seeing Nangong Yu looking troubled, he walked outside the tent and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I suspect that the barbarians are around us. We need to send troops to investigate and go out to search."

"Is there any evidence?"

"Guess" Nangong Yu said these last words. The second prince felt that Nangong Yu was too nervous. Although Nangong Yu had gone out to fight with the second prince before, it was just a small fight.

It is not easy to break Nangong Yu's face at this moment. After all, he is his think tank. What if Nangong Yu is right? If the barbarians can really be around Taiyuan, the surrounding cities must report to him. Since everything is

After saying this, the second prince sent a team of several thousand people to investigate.

The second prince Han Hui was taking a nap when he heard the sound of large troops outside and thought it was a massive barbarian attack. The second prince Han Qing ordered the entire battalion to enter the fighting stage.

However, the other party had no intention of hostility at all. He could vaguely see that there were only 30,000 people on the opposite side, and they were wearing the clothes of Fengzhou City. They didn't look like enemies. After all, they were one of their own.
