Chapter 191: Night Walking

Shi Ping and Chang Xun also joined in the fun, begging one after another, Yang Xing wanted to cry without tears: "I didn't ask if I knew it earlier." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" said, reluctantly broke a small piece of the nest head and threw it into his mouth, looking at the nest head in the hands of others with unfinished eyes.

Tang Jian could see that these people were not acting, and he knew better that they were short of food and grass, so he hesitated and said: "Your Highness, there are many war-ready warehouses in the county town, where a large amount of grain and grass are hoarded, if Your Highness needs it, you can transfer some of it over." ā€

Yuan Fang smiled bitterly and said: "It's difficult, you have also seen it, not everyone is as well aware of the righteousness as you are for the country, there are many people who don't want His Highness to inherit the throne, I won't say what those people's intentions are, you should be clear, I heard that the various forces in the county town are intertwined, and His Highness's orders may not work there, but you can also try." ā€

Tang Jian said a little embarrassed: "I have been in Dongzhou for many years, I know this place very well, and there are many acquaintances in the county, and the relationship is not bad. ā€

Yuan Fang looked at Yang Xing, looked at Chang Xun and Shi Ping, and finally nodded and said, "Cheng, then there is General Lao Tang." ā€

Tang Jian said very interestingly: "Wait a minute, I will repair a few letters, and wait for His Highness to take a look at it and send it to the county seat." ā€

Yuan Fang appreciated and said: "Well, General Tang is very thoughtful, hehe, we don't say secret words, we can't fully believe you just by your words of loyalty, this is a major matter related to the safety of His Royal Highness, we must be cautious, if we want to be trusted, well, General Tang has to send a letter of nomination." ā€

Tang Jian was very clear about this, nodded thoughtfully, thinking about what to use as a vote to win trust and integrate into this group as soon as possible, he was not stupid, he knew that the sooner he was trusted, once the third prince gained power, the more benefits he would get. People, they are all greedy, how can there be completely selfless desires, just like these generals present, none of them are perverts who like to fight and kill, they are soldiers and wars, not to earn military merits in exchange for being distinguished in front of people.

This is not to underestimate their deeds, on the contrary, this is worthy of respect, and they deserve to kill the enemy in a dignified manner.

After the meal, Tang Jian wrote in front of everyone, and Yuan Fang asked Shi Ping: "Do you plan to go back to Xizhou or stay here?" ā€

Shi Ping's face was happy, and he said without hesitation: "Stay, it's enough for a few of my subordinates to go back from Chiba County." ā€

Yuan Fang nodded and said, "Nacheng, we don't have enough manpower now, especially the capable generals of the unified army, it's good for General Shi to stay and help." Shi Ping was overjoyed, he knew the difference between the two, although he went back to Chiba County to serve the third prince, but the effect was different from staying by Yang Xing's side, this was an opportunity.

Shi Ping hesitated for a moment and said, "However, the new army has been sent back to its original hometown, me." ā€

Yuan Fang asked Tang Jian: "This side of Dingbian City is garrisoned by your men and horses, but what about the side of Ancient Bell City?" ā€

Tang Jian raised his head and replied, "Ancient Bell City is garrisoned by 20,000 Dongzhou new troops and 10,000 forbidden troops. ā€

Chang Xun thought for a while and asked, "Li Yue's lone wolf legion?" ā€

Tang Jian nodded: "Yes." ā€

Yang Xing looked at Chang Xun and asked curiously, "Do you know?" ā€

Chang Xun nodded: "I know, that old guy, we joined the army together when we were young, and later we both became corps commanders, I stayed in the imperial capital, and he came to Dongzhou." ā€

Yuan Fang was pleasantly surprised: "How is it?" Can you pull it over? ā€

Chang Xun shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, I haven't seen you for so many years, I don't know if that old guy has taken refuge in a certain force now." ā€

Yang Xing frowned and said, "Why are these again, do the forbidden troops have to rely on a certain force?" Didn't you say that the Praetorian Army only obeyed the orders of the royal family? ā€

Chang Xun smiled bitterly and said: "In the past, when the emperor was alive, it was fine, everyone was loyal to His Majesty, but the first emperor was ill for a long time, people's hearts were turbulent, and the two princes spared no effort to infiltrate and pull together, the generals of the forbidden army gradually divided, some supported the eldest prince, some were loyal to the second prince, and only a small number of people like me did not join any forces, and then they were constantly suppressed by the two princes, and most of them have left their original posts and returned to their hometowns." Let's put it this way, at that time, the two princes were fighting very fiercely, and the people they fancied would get out if they didn't stand in line, and it was almost impossible to protect Fengyuan Mingzhe left and right. ā€

Yang Xing looked at Chang Xun: "What about you?" ā€

Chang Xun's old face turned red: "I, if it weren't for the accident of the two princes, I would be almost farming and raising flowers at home now." ā€

Yang Xing asked curiously: "By the way, what happened to the palace that time, why did the two goods all hang up?" ā€

Chang Xun shook his head: "I don't know, the news is completely blocked, and only a few people know." ā€

Yuan Fang asked, "Who knows?" ā€

Chang Xun replied: "The queen, the prime minister, after the incident, the two of them dealt with the aftermath, and all the people associated with it were also controlled and imprisoned or directly executed by them, and outsiders have no way of knowing what happened." Next, Chang Xun also wrote a letter and sent someone to Li Yue, the leader of the lone wolf legion of the forbidden army in Guzhong City, inviting him to come to Dingbian City for a while.

The letter briefly mentioned Yang Xing, His Royal Highness the Third Prince, but did not say much, nor did he mention the intention of soliciting and wooing, at their level, some words do not need to be said so clearly, everyone knows that Li Yuelai or not represents his attitude towards Yang Xing, the Third Prince.

After deliberation, it was finally decided that this letter would be sent by Shi Ping personally, and at the same time, Shi Ping would take over the Dongzhou New Army stationed in Ancient Bell City to continue to stay, and at the same time monitor the movements of the Lone Wolf Legion, with Tang Jian's support and Yang Xing's appointment, Shi Ping should have no problem taking over the Dongzhou New Army.

That night, after the others left, Yuan Fang left a few girls and Yuqing, and repeatedly told them to protect Yang Xing, and then took the remaining silver and picked some good water among the female soldiers to leave secretly, he wanted to go to the place where he met Yang Xing, on the bank of the Maiqing River at the junction of Nanping County and Nanzhou, to find the lost jade pendant at the bottom of the river.

This jade pendant is very important to Yang Xing, not only a relic and commemoration, but has a more important significance, and it is also an important evidence to prove Yang Xing's identity.

It stands to reason that Yuan Fang should stay by Yang Xing's side at this time, but the matter of the jade pendant is very important, Yuan Fang is not at ease to hand it over to others, if the jade pendant falls into the hands of others, the consequences are unimaginable, he must go over in person, and as soon as possible.

As for the invading army of the Ningyuan Empire, after some analysis and discussion, it was concluded that it was now late autumn, and it was about to enter winter, once the heavy snow closed the mountain, the supply of the invading army would become more and more difficult, and they wanted to stay in Dongzhou, unless they could occupy one or more cities, and hoard enough grain and grass before the heavy snow, otherwise they would only have a dead end if they lacked supplies.
