"Okay! Cross the river!"

King Jing suddenly stood up and said resolutely.

"This matter is not too late!" Qian Shangduan also agreed to cross the river as soon as possible.

Before the imperial court issued an edict to King Jing return to the capital, they crossed the river and went north to "pursuing" the enemy. Before the situation in Hedong was stable, it was certainly impossible for the court to ask King Jing Zhao Tuan to abandon the crossing of the river and return to Bianliang alone; and the guards of the tomb crossed the river and entangled with the enemy, and could not easily escape south, which objectively required King Jing Zhao Tuan to stay in Hedong to take charge of military affairs.

Not to mention that this move will truly win the support of the war-official officials of the government and opposition leaders.

They did not consider this before, and mainly did not have the confidence to pursue the enemy soldiers.

Now Xu Huai said that the main force of the Chihu people's Eastern Route Army would not pass through the Zhengguan Xing. Taihang Xing passed through the Taihang Mountains north. They thought carefully and it was indeed the case. They carefully selected the opportunity and route to cross the river, and it is very likely that they only needed to deal with Xiao Gan, Cao Shixiong, Yue Hailou and other troops surrendered to the subordinate troops, which is indeed not so worrying.

Over the past month, the guards' tomb army mainly attacked Xiao Gan, Cao Shixiong and other troops on the northern slope of Songshan Mountain. Not only did they accumulate experience in guerrilla harassment operations, but the guards' tomb army also established confidence from top to bottom.

After crossing the river, Ze, Lu, Fen, Jin and other places were sandwiched between Luliang Mountain and Taihang Mountain, with undulating mountains. If the enemy's strong forces cannot win suddenly, they can still avoid the mountains.

What's more, there are still a large number of cities in Hedong that are still standing by, so you can contact and avoid them.

If King Jing Zhao Tuan could gather a considerable number of troops in the east and take charge of the side after crossing the river, wouldn’t it be more natural?

Qian Shangduan asked Xu Huai again: "How many soldiers do you plan to bring to cross the river with us?"

"I acted recklessly and leaked the story of the king's death without authorization, causing the military and civilians to be restless and disturbed the palace gates. This is well known in the court. If I led my troops to directly follow His Highness across the river and the north, would there be any hindrance?" Xu Huai asked uncertainly.

"The king reported to the prime minister for the country and the people, and passed away suddenly without any worries. You are a kind-hearted person with a strong heart. It is a matter of righteousness and a decisive attitude that those who are determined to fight against the barbarians should have. Even if they are not happy with some ministers in the court, there is no need to be taboo." King Jing Zhao Tuan stood up after several cases, looked at the distant blue sky outside the tent, and said with a sigh.

King Jing Zhao Tuan knew that what Xu Huai was most worried about was his father's attitude towards the matter of knocking on the palace, but he knew better that his father's personality was weak. The fact that the real decision of the situation in the court was Wang Qiyong, Wang Boqian, Hu Jinzhang, Yang Yongdong and Zhou He, the ministers who advocated peace talks were Wang Qiyong, Wang Boqian, Hu Jinzhang, Yang Yongdong and Zhou He.

King Jing Zhao Tuan was also very clear in his heart that once he chose to cross the river and wanted to win the support of the generals and soldiers of the ruling ranks of warlords, he actually stood opposite Wang Qiyong, Wang Boqian, Hu Jinzhang, Yang Yongdong and Zhou He, the group of peace ministers.

In fact, once he expresses his intention to fight for the legitimate power, not only the queen and Duan, but also the troops of the King of Lu will regard him as thorns in his side, but even the brother of his mother and the prince Zhao Heng will regard him as an enemy. What other way out can he have to worry too much?

Seeing that King Jing made up his mind and saw everything clearly, Xu Huai said: "If you need it, 800 cavalrymen in Chushan will come to Gong County to meet with Your Highness within three days. However, it is best to inform the Hu envoy!

"What do you think Hu Jun would choose?" King Jing Zhao Tuan turned his head and asked with some concern.

King Jing Zhao Tuan did not suspect that Hu Kai was supporting the resistance of Chihu people in his heart. Although the troops commanded by Caizhou were weak in combat, Hu Kai still tried his best to restrain the enemy troops in Xuzhou and other places.

Hu Kai had previously asked his son Hu Yu to come to serve in front of his account with Yang Lin's son Yang Qiye, which was even more supportive.

However, as the defensive envoy of Caizhou, Hu Kai had the power to control the kingly soldiers and horses of the southwest. He had previously forced the kingly soldiers and horses of the southwest to enter Xuzhou and Ruzhou to fight, which caused complaints. It was said that someone had already written a memorial and was ready to impeach Hu Kai at any time.

Xu Huai's control over the newly established Chushan County can be said to be from the county government office, the inspection department to the township department, and the waste village, firmly grasping every foot of Chushan and every inch of water. He no longer cared about his superficial official positions and dispatches.

Even when he was sneaking to Bianliang before, Xu Huai had already written a decree and handed it over to Hu Kai, and recommended Wang Ju to take over as the magistrate of Chushan County and the inspector of Chushan Metropolitan.

Even if Xu Huai's recommendation is unlikely to be recognized by the court.

Even if the court may send others to Chushan to take over two positions, it is just a puppet and it is impossible to truly grasp the power.

King Jing crossed the river this time, his original intention was to sneak into the dragon and return to the sea, but Hu Kai was in Caizhou. If there was anything easy to move and the court issued an edict to seize his power, he would not be able to resist.

This determines that no matter how Hu Kai thinks in his heart, he is likely to temporarily endure when making decisions in the face of complex situations.

King Jing Zhao Tuan didn't think they needed to throw these problems to Hu Kai at this time.

Xu Wuji leaned forward and said, "Your Highness will write a letter in hand to let the envoy Hu know about this, but all the relationships can be pushed to us first! We are also dead pigs and we are not afraid of boiling water. You can know that we are sincere."

Xu Wuqi understands Xu Huai’s thoughts best.

Xu Huai did not need Hu Kai to formally issue the transfer order in the name of Caizhou Defense Envoy, nor did he want to overturn the responsibility of Chu Shan's troops to cross the river with King Jing to Hu Kai.

Xu Huai asked King Jing Zhao Tuan to write a letter to Hu Kai in private, and solicited Hu Kai's opinions and approval in all matters, which mainly reflects respect for Hu Kai.

Xu Huai had long been unruly and had an unpredictable impression of being unpredictable in the peace talks. Even Wang Fan, Wang Kong, Zheng Shou and others had deep opinions on Xu Huai, especially this time when the incident of knocking on the palace was even more taboo.

Xu Huai now needs to pay attention to his posture in front of King Jing, Hu Kai and others, so as not to avoid any gaps within them if major events fail.

King Jing Zhao Tuan wrote a letter and Hu Kai agreed to it, he just needed to remain silent and not stop him. Even if the two sides reached a tacit understanding on crossing the river.

"Hu Yu, how should Yang Qiye arrange it?" Qian Shangduan asked hesitantly.

Hu Yu and Yang Qiye were ordered by Hu Kai to reinforce Gong County. At this time, they still stayed in front of King Jing Zhao Tuan's tent, and the Caizhou troops they led were also expanded to more than 400.

King Jing Zhao Tuan led the troops guarding the tombs across the river. Whether the Caizhou troops under Hu Yu and Yang Qiye's troops stayed in Gong County, were sent to Caizhou, or brought them to Hedong together, the relationship between them was also very subtle.

"This requires a letter from Your Highness to write, and the Hu envoy will determine everything," said Xu Huai. "If the Hu envoy does not speak, we will 'force' Hu Yu, and Yang Qiye will 'either' cross the river with us!"

"That's right!" King Jing Zhao Tuan laughed, "Shang Duan, please help me grind ink, I will write a letter to Hu Jun immediately."

…………

…………

Several cavalry rushed out of the camp, whipped south all the way, and rushed to Caizhou without stopping by taking a route from Ruzhou.

Only then did King Jing Zhao Tuan summon Zhang Xin, Deng Gui, Ling Jian, Han Wende, Liu Shiwang, Yu Gong, Yu Zheng and other generals, as well as the nominal commander Qiao Jien, the commander of the commander of the tomb guard army, and Gu Dajun and others into the tent to discuss the specific arrangements for crossing the river.

"Cross the river and pursue the enemy soldiers?" Qiao Jien, the tomb guard, was shocked when he heard the proposal of King Jing Zhao Tuan. He didn't care about being rude. He stared at King Jing Zhao Tuan in disbelief and asked in disbelief. "The enemy soldiers are fierce and stubborn. We rely on the side of the Western Army and seize the victory of the terrain and attack them. We may be able to harvest more than thirty or fifty heads in three or five days, but the only army crosses the river and advances north, and there is no Western Army to support us. Why should we face the fierce and stubborn enemy alone?"

Under Zhou He's control, generals such as Miao Yanxiong and Zheng Huaizhong responded passively again, but tens of thousands of Western troops filled Mengjin, Yanshi, and Gongxian for more than ten miles, firmly attracting the main force of the Western Front's capitulation. This is a fact that no one can deny.

If not, why would more than 3,000 tomb guards attack nearly twenty times their own enemy soldiers from the flanks?

He did not receive an order from the court. King Jing Zhao Tuan said that the enemy soldiers would retreat, and he would lead his troops to cross the river and pursue the enemy soldiers. This was obviously an unauthorized act. Zhou He, Miao Yanxiong, Zheng Huaizhong and others would never follow him.

King Jing Zhao Tuan has acted without authorization since he arrived in Gong County.

At this time when the country is in danger, Qiao Jien doesn't feel that he has to abide by the old rules, but the problem is that the main force of the Western Army remained unmoved on the south bank of the Yellow River. Only 3,000 soldiers guarding the tombs crossed the river and chased the north to retreat troops. What is the difference between seeking death?

Zhang Xin followed King Jing Zhao Tuan for many years and was more trustworthy than Qian Shangduan; while Ling Jian, Han Wende, Liu Shiwang, Yu Gong and Yu Zheng also believed that King Jing Zhao Tuan was promoted to the army, and he had the ambition of those who were close friends to die.

Although they were shocked by the decision of King Jing Zhao Tuan, they all sat down as peacefully.

Zhang Xin, Ling Jian, Han Wende, Liu Shiwang, Yu Gong, Yu Zheng and other generals were the foundation of King Jing's control of the tomb guard army. They sat aside without expressing any objection. Chen Yougui, Gu Dajun and other nominal commanders of the tomb guard army, the commanders looked very bad, but they knew that they had no weight in front of King Jing Zhao Tuan.

Deng Gui glanced at Xu Huai, Xu Wuli and others.

After Xu Huai and Xu Wuji entered the camp for an hour, King Jing Zhao Tuan made the decision to cross the river. It was obvious that all this came from Xu Huai's suggestions.

Deng Gui didn't have time to talk to Xu Huai alone at this moment, but he knew very well that Xu Huai had risen in Chushan, and often seemed to be in danger, walking on thin ice, but all of them were meticulous calculations.

What he thought more at this time was Xu Huai's intention to suggest that King Jing Zhao Tuan personally lead the army guarding the tombs across the river.

Of course, this is not difficult to guess: Xu Huai originally suggested that Deng Gui stay with King Jing Zhao Tuan and assist Zhang Xin in training the tomb guards, with the intention of helping King Jing Zhao Tuan to compete for the legitimate power.

Now the Chihu people are about to cross the river and retreat north. King Jing Zhao Tuan led his army to cross the river and pursue the battle. The biggest advantage is that they can stay outside openly and not return to Bianliang...
