"The city gate is sealed. We can no longer stay in the inn. Someone will search them soon. We must disperse." The secret guard looked at the expressions of Lu Yebai and Lu Hongan and said seriously.
Lu Yebai covered his waist and stared at him, "Wen Mingting plans to cooperate with Xue Kingdom to attack Beidi Kingdom and then divide the world equally. The news must be sent back to Prince Che's Mansion immediately, and someone must escape."
Secret guard: "Don't worry, the prince has many hidden footholds in Kyoto. Let's spread out and evacuate as soon as Kyoto calms down."
Lu Hongan looked at his eldest brother's injuries with worry on his face. The arrow wounds were not suitable for long-distance travel until they healed.
Inside the Imperial Palace of Linyue Kingdom.
Wen Mingting sat on the half-meter-high bed with his upper body naked. The red bead at the corner of his mouth turned into a teardrop with a gentle swipe of his finger. It was dark red and strange. "Even if this Kyoto is turned upside down, I still have to catch Lu Yebai." live."
Ning Xing'an, the prince of Leshan Hou, knelt on the cold floor tiles soaked by water, lowering his head and ignoring the painful woman's cry in his ears, "I have already blocked all the city gates in Kyoto, and Lu Yebai will definitely not be able to escape." ”
Wen Mingting squinted his eyes, and the wine dripped from the corner of his mouth to the ground, mixing with the water in the pool. "The two old stubborns in the court took this opportunity to kill them all. If they don't take my will into consideration, they must stay." ”
"Yes." Ning Xing'an stood up, turned around and left the palace with his clothes soaked in water.
The palace door behind him was slowly closed.
Zhongshu ordered Jian Churen to stand at the foot of the steep stairs and look up at him.
Ning Xing'an walked up to him and asked, "Is the Third Prince going crazy again?"
Jian Churen nodded and put his hands behind his back, "He was cursing and swearing. I had someone give him medicine and he fell asleep."
Ning Xing'an secretly warned: "Don't let the emperor hear it, otherwise he will definitely die. He is already a useless person, so we can't live in peace. If another prince dies, I don't know what kind of rumors will spread among the people. "
Jian Churen looked around Western Zhou with some fear, "Marquis Xuanwu discovered what happened to Lu Yebai. Don't let him get past it."
Ning Xing'an said sarcastically: "He is a lost dog. If he hadn't eliminated Marquis Wenxin, he wouldn't even be qualified to stand in front of us. The emperor's personality has become more and more changeable recently. People who don't know how to behave will never lose their heads." Know."
Jian Churen sighed: "As long as you know what's going on."
Nancheng Inn.
"Hasn't there been any news about the people following Usakana and the others?" Wen Jinhe looked at Song Zhiyuan and asked.
Song Zhiyuan shook his head, "Nancheng is separated from the Snowy Glacier by eighteen cities. I don't know where Guse City, the capital of the Snow Kingdom, is, so it must not have arrived yet."
Wen Jinhe stared at the locations of the eighteen cities on the map. At first, Li Jingxing said that there would be no war in Nancheng because it was too far from the border of Linyue Kingdom. He had to capture the capital first and then travel westward for more than ten days to get there. However, Now a snow country suddenly appeared on the snowfield glaciers in the north.
There are eighteen cities, which seems to be quite a lot. If we really attack them, it is not impossible.
"Sir Song, if the Snow Kingdom leads troops to attack the Beidi Kingdom from the Snowfield Glacier, which direction do you think they will attack from?" Wen Jinhe couldn't help but ask.
Song Zhiyuan's pupils dilated and his fingers scratched the official uniform at his side repeatedly, "What does the princess mean, that they will send troops?"
Wen Jinhe folded his hands in front of his lower abdomen, "Snow Country's sudden lifting of the ban must be due to its desire to communicate with the outside world. As for whether it will be peaceful coexistence or military conflict, who knows, this force appeared too suddenly, and even Even the emperor in the capital did not notice it, after all, it was too hidden. "
After Song Zhiyuan thought deeply for a while, he replied: "If we want to attack Beidi Kingdom, we must first capture Yuebei City in the north."
Wen Jinhe thought about Xu Sou and then told Zhao Bi: "Go and call Lu Qi over."
Song Zhiyuan was the Minister of Justice, Mu Mingqian was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and Fei Yi was the Minister of Industry. None of the three had ever fought in a war and could only talk about it. After all, they had no actual combat experience.
Lu Qi was standing under the city wall supervising the work. When Zhao Bi called him over, he temporarily changed his clothes, otherwise they were covered with cement and lime.
He raised his hands and saluted, "Princess."
Wen Jinhe waved Lu Qi to stand next to the wall, which had a map of the entire continent hanging on it, "Suppose you were the general of the Snow Kingdom and wanted to attack the Beidi Kingdom. How would you send troops?"
Lu Qi was stunned for a moment. Wen Jinhe asked this question too suddenly. He had never thought that someone would send troops from the snowfield glacier.
After thinking for a long time, he pointed at the location of Shuonan City, "Shuonan City is rich. My subordinates will go east to capture Shuonan City, replenish food and grass, repair the army, then head south to capture the capital."
Song Zhiyuan frowned and questioned, "While the south is rich, there are a lot of troops defending the city. It will be difficult to attack."
Lu Qi looked at him, "That depends on the strength of the Snow Country, as well as the ability and ambition of the leading general."
"But if it were me, there are many places where Linyue Kingdom and Xueyuan Glacier meet. If we send troops, we should attack them first. After all, it is easier to attack Linyue Kingdom than Beidi Kingdom." Lu Qi scratched his head and said Speak your mind.
Wen Jinhe frowned and looked at the blank space on the map.
Li Junche entered the palace the next day after returning to the capital and reported to Li Jingxing about Wen Jinhe's encounter with the Snow Country businessman in Nancheng.
"Can people live in a place like Snowfield Glacier?" Li Jingxing found it unbelievable. The weather in thirteen northern cities can freeze to death in winter. Snowfield Glacier has winter all year round, and the temperature is several times lower than in the north.
Li Junche handed the three portraits to the eunuch, who opened them and placed them on Li Jingxing's desk, "These are the portraits that Jinhe had people draw. Their bodies are much taller and stronger than ordinary people. The weather in the thirteen cities in the north is not good for them." It’s nothing.”
"Have you sent someone to Linyue Kingdom's Kyoto to inquire about the news?" Li Jingxing moved his gaze from the portrait to Li Junche's face, his fingers slightly curled up.
Li Junche replied: "Song Zhiyuan did not find out the whereabouts of these three people in Beidi Kingdom, so he sent people to hide in the convoy transporting anthracite and sneak into the Snow Kingdom to find out the news. I was worried, so I sent people to Linyue Kingdom when I was in Nancheng. Checked it out.”
It is now the end of January, and he will lead his troops on an expedition in two months.
Li Jingxing said to himself: "There are millions of people, but I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are?"
There was darkness in Li Junche's eyes. The people of the Snow Kingdom were naturally strong, and their combat power might be better than the average soldiers of the Beidi Kingdom.
Li Jingxing asked: "When you went to Nancheng this time, what was the status of the construction of the cross-river dam? Many people from the DPRK and China are watching."
Now only King Heng and a few of his men were waiting to grab Wen Jinhe's pigtails.
