"The faint king is a murderer, so naturally his son will be black if he is close to Mo."

King Xiao Ming of Qi stood on a high hill, handing the document in his hand to Wu Yong, the prefect of Shengzhou behind him. He put his hands behind his back and looked towards the battlefield in the west where the sound of killing was heard. A large group of crows flew over the two armies who were fighting for their lives.

, croaking, flying towards the capital city illuminated by the setting sun.

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

Wu Yong was a middle-aged man in his late forties. He had always had a close personal relationship with the second prince. His ability to become the governor of Shengzhou was all due to the second prince's operation in the court. This time the second prince issued a proclamation to attack the foolish emperor.

He was the first to respond.

He took the letter from Xiao Ming and opened it in his hand to look at it carefully. The counselors under Xiao Ming's command also came over to take a look.

The letter has two main contents:

First, Xiao Beiheng followed his father's orders and defeated Xiao Zhuo together with Prince Jing. Everyone was happy, but unexpectedly Xiao Kai suddenly changed his attitude and attacked the Dingbei army. Xiao Beiheng had no choice but to kill Xiao Kai. Xiao Beiheng was very sad about the result of brothers killing each other.

Tearfully accepting Xiao Kai's army, Dingbei's army now numbered 100,000.

Second, after learning about 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 the soldiers to arrest him. At the same time, he decided to support Ji Lao with his own salary.

Ji's family members were given a salary based on the standards of Taifu's official position.

"Xiao Zhuo was known for his cruelty during the Beidi expedition," the counselor shook his head repeatedly, "I didn't expect that he would be so cruel not only to his enemies, but also to his mentor."

After reading the first article, he wanted to praise Xiao Beiheng, but when he saw Xiao Zhuo killing his master, he was so shocked that he couldn't help blurting out.

Wu Yong, the governor of Shengzhou, was a little confused and asked: "It's impossible. When Xiao Zhuo was in the palace, his behavior was impeccable. This is a well-known thing. He was especially respectful to Taifu Ji, until

When he went to conquer Beidi, he never lost any etiquette. How could it suddenly become like this?"

The counselor said: "Prefect Wu was deceived by Xiao Zhuo's appearance. He usually disguises himself very well, but when faced with life and death, he will definitely reveal his true nature. Didn't Emperor Yongde also hide his secrets very deeply, starting from the time he killed the queen?

, only then gradually exposed his cruelty."

Xiao Ming snorted coldly and said: "The faint king used witchcraft as an excuse to kill the queen and abolish the prince. Later, he killed King Jing, killed Concubine De, killed the imperial doctor, and killed Duke Shen... There is no excuse for the deceased.

Opportunity. He declared to the outside world that Prince Jing molested the virtuous concubine. Given his old age, there was no reason for Prince Jing to go all the way to Beijing just to tease the virtuous concubine. And Concubine De was even more strange.

Wow, if Concubine De is the mastermind who framed the emperor through witchcraft, she should be thrown into the sky prison, interrogated by the Ministry of Punishment, convicted and executed in order to serve the world. As for the imperial doctor Shen Guogong and others, it is even more inexplicable and can only be explained by madness.

.Now it is inevitable for his son to do such crazy things as murdering his master. Since ancient times, like father, like son, father and son are like the same raccoons, so there is no confusion."

Wu Yong thought thoughtfully and said: "According to what Mr. Wang said, the stupid king who killed so many people was involved in some major secrets about life and death?"

Xiao Ming said: "It doesn't matter, this time I will go to Beijing to attack the Hunjun in response to the Second Prince's appeal, but I will not kill innocent people indiscriminately like the Hunjun. I will definitely find out the reason and correct his 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 arrived in the east of Liangzhou, but..."

"But what?" Xiao Ming turned around and looked at the counselor.

"Zhao Shuai of the Border Pass believed that it was treason for the second prince to seek revenge on his father with his son. Moreover, as a minister of the Yan Dynasty, he should be loyal to Emperor Yongde and refused to supply military rations. The army of the second prince has been...always been in the villages and towns along the way...that

…Ahem…gather food and grass.”

It is said that collecting is a hard-fought idea, but in fact it is just looting everywhere.

The army passed by without a blade of grass growing. Although the counselor did not say it clearly, he could already imagine the scene along the way.

After hearing this, Xiao Ming frowned and sighed: "It's a pity that the people have suffered... But the second prince has no source of food and grass, so it is absolutely helpless to maintain the army."

Although Zhao Mu was good friends with him, in the end he was still a subject of Emperor Yongde. Now that he responded to the second prince's appeal and raised troops to go to Beijing, Zhao Mu would be in trouble. If he supplied food and grass to the second prince, it would be an act of treason.

If he did not supply supplies, it would be a disgrace to him as an ally of the Second Prince. The border guards had strong troops and remained neutral, which gave him a great deal of face.

We can't ask for more from Zhao Mu.

Xiao Ming turned to the counselor and said: "Send a letter to Beiheng quickly and tell him that I know what happened in Jingzhou. When he comes back from Jingzhou this time, don't let Zhao Mu supply him with food and grass. Since Jingzhou

Liangzhou has been decided, and he is ordered to quickly collect grain and grass from the counties in the two states to supply the army of the second prince."

The counselor took the order and went.

Wu Yong said to Xiao Ming: "Why did the King of Qi arrange it like this? Although the border gate refuses to supply the food and grass for the second prince's army, I, Shengzhou, can supply it on my behalf."

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

"Prefect Wu, our army totals more than 100,000 people. Even if we have the food and grass from Anzhou and Shengzhou, we can only get enough. Now the governor of Yuzhou is quite strategic. He did not lead his army to King Qin in Beijing, but led

The army is attacking the Anzhou grain road. If the Anzhou grain road is damaged, our army here will have to rely on the grain and grass provided by Wu Taishou. What's more, the second prince is now in Liangzhou, so it is fastest to order Beiheng to supply him nearby."

Only then did Wu Yong understand and sighed: "The prince of Qi, in this western expedition, only led 50,000 troops to conquer the north, but he rejected the Xirong army in the north and conquered two states in the south. This is truly an unparalleled achievement."

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

"Then King Qi wants to write a letter to reward him?" Wu Yong asked.

Xiao Ming shook his head: "It's better not to wait for now. This kid Beiheng is arrogant and shows off his sharp edge. If I give him a reward now, he will definitely get carried away. Now Hunjun still has more than 100,000 troops and horses here, as well as King Qin of Yuzhou.

The army, not to mention that Xiao Zhuo has not yet been killed. If he comes to the capital to help the faint king, the war may be unpredictable..."

Wu Yong was startled and asked: "With the strength of King Qi's army and Shengzhou army, and the prince's wisdom and martial prowess, do you still have to worry about a mere Xiao Zhuo?"

He thought that the King of Qi's command of troops to fight was extremely powerful, but he did not expect that the King of Qi would pay so much attention to Xiao Zhuo.

"Although Xiao Zhuo is unkind and unjust, I am also deeply afraid of leading the army to fight." Xiao Ming said, "Prefect Wu, we must order the army to fight hard and strive to defeat the enemy in a few days. When the capital is surrounded, Xiao Zhuo

Even if it comes, it will be useless."

Wu Yong deeply agreed.

Xiao Ming walked down the high hill and said to the sergeant who sent the order: "Order the three armies to fight bravely to kill the enemy. I personally beat the drum to help in the battle."
