Qin Jiyan did not answer Gu Qiancheng's question immediately, but asked instead: "Why do you think that something happened in the capital, rather than the emperor trying to reduce my power?"
Feng Sijin, Prince Pingxi and others all thought so, even he thought so at first.
"Cutting your power?" Gu Qiancheng was stunned for a moment before saying: "Is it necessary for the emperor to do this? There are only hundreds of thousands of troops. The emperor will not order you to return to Beijing for such a small number of troops, regardless of the urgent border border.
?”
Qin Jiyan was not a general with a large number of troops. He was the emperor's grandson and the prince personally selected by the old emperor. Even if the old emperor was on guard against Qin Jiyan, he would not use this method to deal with him.
"Besides, if I want to reduce your military power, I can just find any excuse after you return to Beijing. There is no need to rush you back to Beijing or issue a private order." No matter how Gu Qiancheng thought, he did not think that this was the old emperor's attempt to undermine Qin.
Silent military power.
"You're right." Qin Jiyan nodded and agreed with Gu Qiancheng's statement, "The emperor wants to reduce my power, so there is no need to issue a private edict. At first, I thought it was because the emperor knew that he still had a few years to live.
He was reluctant to part with the throne and power, fearing that I would affect his status and reduce my power. Later, when I thought about it, I felt that it was wrong. The emperor would not have made such a foolish move."
If he really still has a few years to live, the old emperor does not need to be anxious at this moment. You must know that the military power of the Feng family is still firmly in the hands of the old emperor.
"Could it be related to the Immortality Gate?" Gu Qiancheng couldn't think of anyone else who could do it except the Immortality Gate to make the old emperor make such a stupid move.
"According to the shrewdness of the Changsheng Sect, they will not do anything to interfere in the internal affairs of the Qin Dynasty." If the Changsheng Sect really wanted to do this, it would inevitably arouse the suspicion of the old emperor, and the gains would outweigh the losses.
"This is also..." Gu Qiancheng nodded slowly, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Qin Jiyan continued: "Jinyiwei has not contacted me during this period. I am worried that there is something wrong with Jinyiwei." If the old emperor finds out his relationship with Jinyiwei, it is not impossible to order him to go back. However,
It's still a bit too childish.
"Have you kept in touch with Jin Yiwei?" Gu Qiancheng asked.
"No, we will contact you only when something happens." If we really want to keep in touch, how can we avoid the old emperor's eyes and ears? "It's normal for Jin Yiwei and I not to contact each other for ten days and a half, but this time there is obviously something going on in the capital, but Jin Yiwei didn't send me anything.
News is coming."
This point made Qin Jiyan not worry about whether something happened to the leader of the Jinyi Guards.
"Is something really going to happen?" Gu Qiancheng heard what Qin Jiyan said and felt that it was very possible.
Qin Jiyan frowned slightly and said, "It's just our imagination, it may not be true, there's no need to..."
"Woo..."
Before the word "worry" could be uttered, he was interrupted by a series of rapid horn sounds.
"No, the enemy is attacking." Qin Jiyan's expression changed, and he stood up suddenly. He had no time to analyze the matters in the capital with Gu Qiancheng, so he picked up the helmet on the side and walked out, "The enemy attacked at night, and the army will meet
If you mess with time, don't move around."
"I understand." Gu Qiancheng knew the seriousness of the matter and would not run out bravely.
She is not Tang Wanjin. She can't change the outcome of the battle even if she goes to the front line.
"Woo..."
"Woo..."
The horn sounded louder and louder than the other. The Qin army did not panic when they heard the sound. Under the command of the general, they lined up in an orderly manner and walked out one by one.
Before, His Highness the Emperor Taisun asked them to be on standby at any time. They thought that the Emperor Taisun was making a fuss out of a molehill. Now they just wanted to praise the Emperor Taisun for being wise and making preparations in advance, otherwise they would have caused chaos tonight.
"Tatatata..." The sound of uniform footsteps sounded in the army. Although several sounds were intertwined, they did not affect each other.
As soon as Qin Jiyan came out, Prince Pingxi saw it and hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Highness knows things like a god, Xihu indeed came to attack us in the middle of the night."
"If it were me, I would also attack at night. However, I would never wait until so late to give my opponent a chance to eat and rest." Qin Jiyan walked quickly outside the camp without stopping, and accidentally saw
Regarding the two spies mentioned by Prince Pingxi, Qin Jiyan slowed down, turned around and asked, "Can those two people do anything?"
"Yes, they have been pestering Lao Cheng tonight. Lao Cheng said that these two scumbags hinted at Lao Cheng, saying that Your Highness did not value Lao Cheng and would never make a difference in his life under His Highness." Prince Pingxi said this.
When he spoke, his voice was very cold.
In the eyes of Prince Pingxi, traitors are more hateful than enemy soldiers.
"You are so brave. Are you from King Zhao or from Xihu?" Qin Jiyan sneered, with a murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"Can't be sure." If he wasn't sure, Prince Pingxi wouldn't have let those two people dance around.
"After this battle is over, tie them up and interrogate them." He didn't have that much time to spend with those two scum now.
When Qin Jiyan rushed to the city wall, Xihu's army had already rushed to the bottom of the city and was preparing to launch the first wave of attack.
"It's so late." By the light of the torch, Qin Jiyan saw Feng Yao at the front of the army, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
It was almost dawn before the night attack. It was really not easy for Feng Yao in Xihu.
Xihu's attack on the city this time was unexpected, fast and violent.
As soon as the army arrived at the city, Feng Yao immediately ordered the attack...
"Go, go, go!"
Just as Feng Yao said, the defeat during the day made Xihu's soldiers extremely aggrieved. They urgently needed a battle to vent their frustration and regain the confidence that was about to evaporate.
In this battle, Xihu could only win but not lose.
If he loses, Xihu's morale will be weakened by half.
The vanguard army quickly set up a siege ladder and climbed up quickly.
Upon seeing this, the Qin army smashed down the stones prepared in advance...
The side door opened, and a group of elite cavalry rushed out, rushed to the battlefield, and started fighting with the Xihu people.
"Commander, Da Qin has already prepared." Seeing this scene, the two deputy commanders said anxiously.
"So what if we are prepared? We will definitely win tonight." When the two armies were facing each other, whoever was not on high alert would be dizzy because of a victory. That person was not the Qin Jiyan he knew.
"The commander-in-chief is right, we will definitely win tonight. Commander-in-Chief, please allow me to lead a group of troops and charge into the city." One of the deputy commanders said, and the other one was not willing to be weak and also requested to fight.
"Accurate." Want to make military exploits?
Feng Yao will never stop them, as long as they have the ability.
The two deputy commanders immediately led their trusted men to fight forward, and soon they fought a bloody path...
The pitch-black night made it impossible for ordinary people to see anything, but Qin Jiyan was not affected. When he saw the two deputy commanders from Xihu taking action, he immediately ordered General Cheng and Tang Wanjin to fight.
General Cheng and Tang Wanjin are powerful generals of the Qin Dynasty. With them here, it is not difficult to stop the two deputy commanders of Xihu. Things on the battlefield are temporarily under control, but at this moment...
