Chapter 842

"Our family can't figure out what Zhao Xiang means, now, isn't it a good time, isn't he afraid of big things?" The high eunuch frowned, his face was helpless, he really didn't understand what Zhao Xiangye, who was far away in Beijing, thought, and actually let those elites in the border town besiege the palace to death.

He and Zhang Shao have been working hard to maintain the situation, trying hard to convince Empress Chen that Zhao Xiang has no intention of repenting of the covenant, but now, they still haven't been able to get a response from Zhao Xiang, which really makes them feel guilty in their hearts.

"Who knows, the important thing is that the attitude of Cao Hu'er and Na Kirch is too suspicious. Don't you think? Zhang Shao took a long breath of turbidity in his chest, and then couldn't help but complain.

"I also think it's very strange, our loyalty to Zhao Xiang is naturally self-evident, but Cao Hu'er and Kirch are so strict about the palace, even if they don't want to meet in private, don't you think it's strange?" The high eunuch who has been by His Majesty's side for a long time has lived in intrigue almost all his life, and the words that came out of his mouth made Zhang Shao feel shocked in his heart.

"What does the high eunuch mean by this?" Zhang Shao paused, staring at the eunuch Gao with his eyes, as if he wanted to see something strange on his face.

"Our family thinks it's strange, Zhao Xiang and the queen mother formed an offensive and defensive alliance before, and our communication with the Jingshi has not been severed, but when Cao Hu'er came, it seems that everything has changed......," the high eunuch whispered quietly.

Zhang Shao's eyes couldn't help shrinking, and his fingers gently tapped on the handle of the horizontal knife on his waist, and the guess of the high eunuch really made goosebumps rise on Zhang Shao's back. After pondering for a long time, he said uncertainly: "Cao Hu'er is Zhao Xiang's hardcore confidant, and Colch is also raised by Zhao Xiang, if one person has a different heart, it may be possible, but if these two people are all the opposite of Zhao, this is ......"

"Have you ever seen General Kirchiko during this time?" The eunuch's expression was gloomy. "According to Cao Hu'er's words, General Kirch's men have arrived, but why doesn't he show up like Cao Hu'er?"

"You mean...... Cao Hu'er has a disagreement with Zhao Xiang? Zhang Shao couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, grabbed the sleeve of the high eunuch, and couldn't wait to whisper.

The eunuch Gao struggled, but he couldn't break free, so he could only smile helplessly: "Perhaps, this is the truth, otherwise, how can we explain why we can't receive any news from the Jingshi now, and Cao Hu'er is not even willing to go to the palace, this is too unreasonable, we are all Zhao Xiang's people, can we still take advantage of his unpreparedness to harm him?" ”

Zhang Shao whispered with a pale face. "Maybe...... Kirch's soldiers have already been collected by Cao Hu'er, and Kirch himself is afraid that he is ......"

"General Zhang, maybe you don't know that every ten days, the Jingshi will send a batch of supplies to the palace, but now, almost half a month has passed, and this time the supplies have been delayed......

Zhang Shao pursed his lips tightly, and after thinking about it, he asked in a deep voice towards the high eunuch. "Eunuch Gao, what can you do?"

"Now, I can only rely on you, General Zhang...... We think we should try to send the dead soldiers to see if we can go down to the barracks without alarming the border town soldiers outside the palace to see where General Kirch is. ”

"In addition, it's best to send someone again, try to go to Jingshi, face Zhao Xiang, at least let Zhao Xiang know the situation of the palace, don't be blinded by that Cao Hu'er......"

After listening to the opinion of the high eunuch, Zhang Shao nodded with a gloomy face. "That's all we can do. I'll find someone to do it, I really hope Cao Hu'er won't just want to fish in troubled waters. ”

"He's fishing in troubled waters, he clearly wants to replace him......" The high eunuch smiled astringently, shook his head and said.

"I said military advisor, it's not a way for us to surround around like this, you see, now it's been six days since we came to the palace, and even the supplies to the palace, we have swallowed it, with 50,000 male divisions, is it so difficult to deal with this small palace?" Cao Hu'er stroked her yellow eyebrows, which were slightly curled like a beard, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"My lord, with the 50,000 elite divisions in my border town, it will take a lot of effort to take down this heavily guarded palace with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. If we are attacking the palace, if the Jingshi army is rushing to attack, how should our army guard against it? Zheng Sleeve shook the feather fan in his hand and walked slowly.

"Moreover, Coulci's soldiers and horses, we have not been gathered for a long time, and the morale of the army is unstable, if we attack the palace at this moment, I am afraid it will be a little inappropriate...... Therefore, Zheng Moucai implored the lord to disperse Kolch's soldiers and horses, and intensify joint training with our army, so as to form combat strength as soon as possible. In addition, General Liu built a good pass in Shikou Ridge, with the geographical advantages of Shikou Ridge, coupled with the elite of the border town under General Liu, not to mention three or five months, at least facing tens of thousands of elite divisions, it is enough to guard for more than a month, and we can also have time to take the palace before we can make a decision. Zheng Sleeve moved to Cao Hu'er and explained.

"If you build a pass in Shikou Ridge, how can it take seven or eight days, can we just watch the palace fail?" Cao Hu'er couldn't help but ask rhetorically.

"Lord, didn't Zheng say it before? The supplies supplied by the Jingshi are only enough for the rations of more than 10,000 people in the palace for ten days, and even if the palace itself is retained, it must not be too much...... Now that their supplies have been taken by us, they will be in a hurry in less than two days...... Perhaps, when the time comes, we don't need to attack the palace, and the Beiya forbidden army in the palace will take the initiative to leave the solid palace wall to attack us......"

Cao Hu'er finally understood what the military advisor Zheng Sleeve meant, and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. "Okay, you're a military advisor, I'm afraid you didn't think about storming the palace from the beginning, right?"

Zheng Sleeve smiled leisurely: "That's natural, when the time comes, they will have to go to the palace to attack us, because those forbidden troops can't guard the palace wall hungry, not to mention that if there is civil strife due to hunger, they will not lose anything, so ......"

"Lao Cao, I understand, you can rest assured, grandma, Lao Cao, I will definitely let the sons and daughters surround the palace, and not let a mouse crawl out." Cao Hu'er raised her hand and touched her thinning hair, and the smile on her face couldn't help but feel a little more confident and calm.

"There is a lord of labor, in addition, please also ask the lord to keep an eye on the direction of the Korki banner, if the other party is suspicious, he will definitely go to find out as soon as possible, after all, Kolch's soldiers and horses have arrived, and he, the boss, has never shown up, and it is impossible to have no questions in the palace." Zheng Sleeve deserves to be regarded as a right-hand man by Cao Hu'er, at least, he has considered all kinds of possibilities.

However, it is a pity that although Cao Hu'er also confessed, the problem is that Cao Hu'er did not expect that Zhang Shao and others would react so quickly, and secretly sent people to sneak into the military camp that night to find out the news, and also sent a few small groups of dead soldiers, but most of those dead soldiers were found out at the first time and were directly strangled in the military camp by Cao Hu'er's soldiers.

Zhang Shao, whose faces were so blue and frightened, and the high eunuch looked at the dead man in front of him who had already been unable to say a word, and he had already choked his breath. Although he couldn't say anything, the bloody wounds on his body were enough to prove everything.

"Cao Hu'er, you bastard, you ungrateful bastard!" Looking at the dead man, Zhang Shao cursed viciously.

The fat face of the high eunuch twitched slightly, and after a while, he said gloomily in his narrow voice unique to eunuchs: "General Zhang, now is not the time to be angry, hurry up and let the soldiers of the Beiya Forbidden Army and the Right Yu Linwei cheer up and guard the palace, otherwise, if that Cao Hu'er attacks the palace, then everything will be over." ”

"Are we just going to let them die here?" Zhang Shao grimaced, turned his head and commanded a few words to the henchmen and generals around him, and after they left quickly, Zhang Shao gritted his teeth, his eyes kept rolling, and he was quite angry.

"Did any of the people we sent out escape?" The high eunuch rubbed his face and asked Zhang Shao. Zhang Shao blinked, and could only shake his head helplessly. "How do I know this......"
