Liuli hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't say that. As the saying goes, stay in the green mountains, not afraid of running out of firewood, Your Highness is now in Xishan, you can gather officers and soldiers and return to the capital. ”

The prince smiled faintly, raised his head, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and after a while, he said: "The capital has fallen, the logistics of Qinshui's garrison cannot be supplied, Tianmen Dao has been killed to the other side of Qinshui, and the Qin army has no backup support, I'm afraid it won't last long." After a pause, he said: "When the palace returns to the capital, it will no longer be those Diao people, it is very likely that it will be the ...... of the Tianmen Dao who have already killed the capital!" ”

Liuli said softly: "In the major affairs of the military state, it is inconvenient for the concubine to intervene, but it is just ...... Although there are many people in Tianmen Dao, after all, it is only a rabble, compared with my regular army of Great Qin, it is far inferior, His Royal Highness gathered soldiers and horses, and killed them again, and the people of Tianmen Dao may not be able to resist. ”

"Ruri, you don't understand." The crown prince sighed: "If it is changed to the time of the founding of the country, don't say that the Tianmen Dao people are really hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and my Great Qin Iron Cavalry will not have the slightest fear." But......! He paused slightly, his eyes full of embarrassment, "But today's Great Qin Iron Cavalry can no longer speak the same day as it did back then." For more than 20 years, the officers and soldiers of our Great Qin have not gone through a major war, and the tiger and wolf army that fought in the south and north back then has long since ceased to exist. ”

Liuli didn't say anything, just looked at the prince quietly.

"There are three corps capable of fighting, one in Liaodong, one in the northwest, and one in Hexi." The prince frowned and said: "The soldiers and horses in the pass are too peaceful, and they have long lost the spirit of tigers and wolves, even if the palace really summons the soldiers and horses of Anyi, Xishan and Hujin, it may not be able to resist the Tianmen Dao." ”

Liuli said: "What does Your Highness want to do next?" ”

"The best situation, of course, is that the Northwest Army, the Liaodong Army, and the Hexi Army all obey the dispatch of the imperial court and gather troops and horses to sweep away the southern ......!" The prince smiled bitterly: "If this is the case, my Great Qin can already stabilize the situation, but in such a situation, I am afraid that it will be difficult to succeed." ”

"Why?" Liuli frowned and said: "The saint is in Hexi, the next will, the Hexi army will inevitably send troops, and another will will be sent to the northwest ......!" ”

The crown prince had already interrupted: "Liuli, you should know that not long ago, there was civil strife in the three northwestern provinces, and Chu Huan had defeated Xiao Huanzhang and Zhu Lingyue, and now he is already the most powerful force in the northwest...... The imperial court can only watch him sit down, not to mention whether he still has the heart to be loyal to Daqin now, even if he really has the heart, he will not obey the dispatch of the palace. ”

Liuli said: "Your Highness is saying that Chu Huan has the heart of rebellion?" ”

"The imperial court sent him to the northwest because the imperial court had already understood that Zhu Lingyue was actually a wolf." The prince frowned and said: "Everyone thinks that General Lei can pacify Tianmen Dao in the shortest possible time, and then gather the most troops to turn around and deal with the northwest, Chu Huan went to the northwest, it is just a delaying strategy of the imperial court, I hope that Chu Huan can restrain Zhu Lingyue and buy time for the imperial court......!" ”

Liuli sighed faintly: "The imperial court was only afraid that Chu Huan would go to the northwest, and he would be more auspicious and less ......!" ”

"That's true." The prince said: "The palace also thinks that it will be great for Chu Huan to toss over there for three or five months at most, and if General Lei is smooth, he may not be able to quell the rebellion in the southeast in less than half a year...... It's just that whether it is in the southeast or northwest, the imperial court has miscalculated, the strength of Tianmen Dao is much stronger than the imperial court's estimate, the main force of officers and soldiers led by General Lei was dragged to the southeast and trapped in it, and Chu Huan not only did not die in the northwest, but finally became a more vicious wolf ......! ”

Liuli asked, "Could it be that the imperial court can't gather the northwest soldiers and horses now?" ”

"This palace is worried that if the northwest soldiers and horses are really summoned to enter the customs, it will be to lure wolves into the house." The prince sneered: "Chu Huan has a heavy army, but the northwest is not stable now, and he has no reason to enter the customs lightly, if the imperial court announces it, he will really lead the northwest soldiers and horses into the customs, but I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable." Now, this palace only hopes that the Northwest Army will honestly stand still, which is better than what they do. As long as you stabilize the pass, you can free up your hands to deal with the Northwest ......! ”

"The Northwest Army can't be summoned, so there are only the Hexi Army and the Liaodong Army." Liuli said: "It is these two soldiers and horses, which should be more than enough to deal with Tianmen Dao." ”

"Part of the Liaodong Army of Red Refining Electric still has to be stationed in Liaodong to prevent the Goryeo from taking advantage of the fire to rob." The prince said: "The current shape of the Qin State, many people are wide-eyed and ready to move, the red refining electricity has arrived in Fuhai, and the rebels of the Qingtian King must be pacified before they can free their hands...... There are only two ways to get out of the current predicament. Either the Hexi Army immediately sent troops, and then mobilized the soldiers and horses of Anyi and Hujin to cooperate with the Hexi Army to attack Hebei from the west, and the Liaodong Army attacked from the east, attacking from both sides, and leveling the ...... of the Qingtian King in one fell swoop! After a pause, thoughtful, and silent for a moment, he said: "If you can fight quickly, it's fine, but once you hit Hebei and fall into a stalemate, and it drags on for too long, the capital will inevitably be occupied by Tianmen Dao, and Tianmen Dao will be given enough time to prepare, and if you want to destroy Tianmen Dao at that time, you will have to spend a lot of time, and there will even be a situation of confrontation between the north and the south......!" ”

"What about the other way Your Highness said?"

"Let the Liaodong Army drag the Qingtian King, take the Hexi Army as the main force, gather other soldiers and horses, and go straight to the capital ......!" The crown prince clenched his fists, "In this way, Tianmen Dao will be tired of facing the battle and will not give them a chance to recuperate, but this method will also have problems...... Once it can't be resolved quickly, the men and horses of the Hebei Qingtian King can harass the transportation line in the rear, and even cut off the logistics supply, and the officers and soldiers who attack Tianmen Dao will be in a predicament......! ”

Liuli's beautiful eyes flickered, and she looked a little anxious.

The prince said lightly: "But in the final analysis, no matter which method, the Liaodong Army and the Hexi Army are indispensable, and these two troops must fight together to be able to quell the rebellion ......!" After a deep groan, he said: "Since Yuan Chongshang has already gone to Hexi, the palace also happens to go to Hexi to give advice to his father." ”

"Your Highness......!" Liuli's beautiful face changed color slightly, "You...... Are you going to Hexi? ”

"My father's birthday ceremony, and the palace also happened to celebrate my father's birthday." The prince said calmly: "Yu Gong, you can go to your father, mobilize Hexi soldiers and horses to quell the chaos, Yu private, my father's birthday, I, as the prince, should also congratulate his old man on ......his birthday!" ”

Liuli's delicate body trembled slightly, and said, "Your Highness, you ......!" He wanted to say and stopped, but finally said: "You can't go to Hexi!" ”

"Oh?" The prince smiled faintly: "Why? ”

"Your Highness, it's all the fault of the concubine." Liuli smiled bitterly: "The concubine is a female streamer, short-sighted, and only thinks about the comfort of His Highness, and brings His Highness out of the capital, but ...... But in this way, the concubine was afraid that the Holy Lord would blame His Highness for abandoning the capital for this...... His Royal Highness wants to work hard, but he has offended many courtiers because of this, and there are ...... indispensable by the side of the saint! After hesitating, he finally said: "There are also some people who slander, and the concubine is only worried that someone has already admonished the saint ...... slander!" ”

The crown prince smiled: "Are you worried that my father will blame me because of the fall of the capital?" ”

"Yes......!"

The crown prince took Liuli's hand and said with a smile: "Liuli, the main palace is now in Yunshan, and it looks very safe, but the Great Qin Empire is already in danger...... Everyone says that the Great Qin Empire is the father's, but no one dares to say that the father is actually the Great Qin Empire, and the palace is also the empire, and there are many people, they are all of the empire, and the empire also belongs to them, the establishment of the Great Qin Empire has shed too much blood. ”

Liuli listened to the prince's soft voice, and she didn't know what the prince wanted to say for a while.

"The decline of the empire is imminent, not for the father, but for the many soldiers who have spilled blood on the battlefield, what should this palace do." The prince looked up at the bright moon in the sky: "The national disaster is at the head, but Hexi is going to hold a birthday ceremony, this is not what Ming Jun did, it is also the way to die in the country, the palace has been silent for a long time, and can no longer be silent, I must go to Hexi, meet my father in person, and tell him about the current key points." ”

"Your Highness's hard work, will the Holy One know?" Liuli sighed faintly: "Forgive the concubine for speaking bluntly, how many people have advised the saint, but the saint has insisted on going his own way, and has never heard of it, His Royal Highness went to Hexi, and the saint may not be sure, and ...... If the Holy One is to blame, His Highness ......! ”

"It's the blame, and the palace can only go." The prince said slowly: "Everyone is afraid to speak, so there must be someone to speak." This palace originally wanted to rely on its own strength to defend the capital, and even level the Tianmen Road, now it seems that this palace is too optimistic, and now there is no other way to go, only to gather the officers and soldiers of the northern provinces, and fight hard, if you still think that the world is peaceful at this time, then the Qin State will be ...... catastrophe! ”

"Your Highness......!"

The crown prince shook his head and said with a smile: "Liuli, this palace knows that you are worried about me, but since you are the prince of Great Qin, there are some things that can only be done by me." Whether my father listens or not, it is up to him, whether he says it or not, but it is up to me. If the father and emperor accept the advice, the palace can personally lead the troops and counterattack the capital ......! Staring at Liuli's delicate face, he said softly: "This trip to Hexi, you don't have to follow you anymore, you wait in Yunshan first, if the saint admonishes, this guild will lead troops to the capital, take the capital, and will pick you up, if the father is obsessed and the palace is guilty, then you are here, you will not be implicated, and the palace will be relieved ......!" ”

"Your Highness, Liuli will never stay, if you want to leave, Liuli will definitely be by your side." Liuli said categorically: "Even if the Holy Lord condemns His Highness, the concubine is willing to be convicted with His Highness!" ”
