After being reborn, I became a scumbag and his aunt

Chapter 425 Anning Building (Part [-])
Even when Zhao Chen was sick, he was still dressed in black armor. He was tall and imposing.

He stared at An Linghou coldly, "Where did the son go? He is the supervisor alone, so he has the right to know."

Marquis Anling felt uncomfortable being stared at by him, and he replied softly, "I really don't know. Your Highness also knows that I have little talent and little learning, and the army is all supported by the prince. He will not tell me where he will go or what he will do."

Zhao Chen took out a gold token from his pocket and held it up, and said coldly, "Gu has the right to change generals before the battle, Marquis Anling had better figure it out before he can talk about it. Otherwise, Gu will just take over the Northwest Army and issue an impeachment memorial." Send it to the capital!"

An Linghou's expression changed drastically.The prince actually has this authority!

Thanks to him praising the prince all the time, it didn't happen... The prince is ashamed of his trust in him!

Speaking of it, he is the Empress Dowager Lu's nephew, and he can be regarded as the prince's uncle, but An Linghou dare not put on airs of this elder.

He stood up tremblingly, knelt on one knee and cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness, calm down. I will go and investigate carefully, where the prince has gone..."

Zhao Chen's brows became more and more gloomy, An Linghou was planning to pretend to be with him to the end.

The son is the backbone of the camp in the border town, and now there are tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers stationed outside the pass, how could he leave without saying hello.

"So, An Linghou doesn't plan to be this great general anymore."

An Linghou said sadly, "Your Highness should know the truth that if you don't keep secrets, you can't succeed. If the son makes any moves, the fewer people will know the better. Why would he tell the minister in advance? He just experienced a big battle the day before yesterday. The army will definitely not attack immediately, the prince may use this gap to make some arrangements..."

If there are too many, he can't say anymore.

Otherwise, the son would have to look at him silently when he came back. That kind of feeling made him unable to tell who was the father and who was the son.

Zhao Chen stood in front of him, looked down at him from above, his eyes were extremely sharp, "Marquis An Ling, you should be more steady, if you are not careful, it will be a serious crime to destroy your family."

An Linghou bit the bullet and cupped his hands, "I would like to follow the instruction of His Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhao Chen lifted his robe and left the general's camp.

Wei Xiao followed behind, "Prince, you'd better go back to the tent to eat and take medicine, your body can't be tossed anymore."

"Not in a hurry."

Zhao Chen walked around the camp, then rode out of the camp.

Three or four miles further away is Qingyun Pass.

There is yellow sand everywhere, and even the city walls are piled up with dusty yellow mud bricks, tall and thick, standing on the Gobi Desert.Behind it is the fertile soil thousands of miles away.

The reason why the name of Lingyun Zhuangzhi was given is because the sky in the border town is high and the clouds are sparse.

Zhao Chen boarded the city wall, guarded by soldiers on top, and walking forward, there was a watchtower.

Looking from a distance from the tower, more than ten miles outside the city wall is a flat and wide Gobi, without any shelter, and further forward, there are low trees and moss-like grass.

That piece of grass belongs to Xiliang.

Although there is no city wall to cover it, it is extremely difficult for Da Zhou to claim it for himself - the terrain is flat and wide, and there are no mountains on both sides. Building a long border defense project for that barren land is huge, and the gains outweigh the losses.

The weather was fine at this time, and the black soldiers and horses on the grass were clearly visible in one piece.

Zhao Chen's eagle eyes tightened, staring there, revealing the ferocity of drinking his blood and eating his flesh.

The two soldiers on the watchtower were overwhelmed by the might of the prince and fell silent.For more than a month, they have been able to see the prince almost every day, and the prince only told them not to slack off, and never punished anyone, but they were still afraid when they met.

They lived a life of fighting and killing, and they could clearly sense the fierce murderous aura on the prince's body, and they seemed to be able to kill people with a knife at any time.

Zhao Chen pointed to a rather simple and honest soldier, "Your name is Erniu, right?"

The soldier was flattered and knelt on one knee and replied loudly, "Return to His Royal Highness, the bid is Er Niu!"

Zhao Chen asked, "From last night to now, has anyone entered or exited Qingyun Pass?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, no one came in or out. During the current war, Qingyun Pass has been closed, and the common people are prohibited from passing through!"

Zhao Chen asked, "Is anyone in the army going out of the city?"

Er Niu reported, "Go back to His Royal Highness, no!"

Zhao Chen felt a little relieved, so Lu Bing did not leave Qingyun Pass.

He believed what Er Niu said.

In the previous life, this Er Niu defended Qingyun Pass to death. He was shot into a sieve by the rain of arrows. Before he died, he climbed up the city wall and fell down, hitting several Xiliang soldiers on the ladder.

Zhao Chen patted Er Niu on the shoulder, "Good boy, your voice is loud and full of confidence. From now on, you will be a centurion."

Er Niu was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, he grinned and said loudly, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"

Zhao Chen pointed to the Xiliang camp in the distance, "Keep an eye on them."

Er Niu clasped his hands and said, "Under the collar!"

Zhao Chen left the watchtower and returned to the barracks tent, his body swayed.

Wei Xiao hurriedly helped him sit down, and ordered breakfast and soup to come in.

He persuaded earnestly, "Your Highness, your face is burning, you need to rest well. You have to get better when there is no war now."

Zhao Chen took the decoction and drank it with one hand, he dared not relax, the defeat of the Northwest Army was only three months away.

It has been a month and a half now, and there is not much time left for him.

He said, "You go to the city."

Wei Xiao took the order and left the camp to enter the city in the name of buying food.

After two days, a secret guard came to deliver the letter, Zhao Chen changed into plain clothes and rode a horse to the border town.

There is a restaurant in the city called Anninglou.

It was newly opened a year ago, the decoration is elegant, and it welcomes visitors from all over the world.At this time, it was meal time, and the business was very good. Most of the people who came were business travelers, speaking with accents from all over the world.

Because of the war, they stayed here and could not pass the customs to go to Xiliang to do business.

Zhao Chen went straight to the private room on the third floor, and as soon as he sat down, a waiter served him tea.

"Guest officer, what wine and food do you want?"

Zhao Chen said softly, "Ping An wine, An Ning food."

The waiter didn't move, "Guest officer, wait a moment, the food and drink will be here soon!"

After a while, the shopkeeper came in with a jug of wine and two dishes of side dishes, "Your food and drink, sir!"

Wei Xiao closed the door of the private room, and the shopkeeper cupped his hands in salute, "Your Highness, as you expected, the Xiliang Army has sent more troops to Cizhou, at least [-] troops."

Zhao Chen's eyes darkened slightly.

Not fifty thousand, but eighty thousand.

And Cizhou's defenders were only [-].The garrisons in the two neighboring states in the north and south each have [-] troops, and they are already overwhelmed and unable to reinforce them.

The royal father only cared about the safety of the throne, but he didn't know how many soldiers died because of his jealousy.

This battle caused the Xiliang army to tear open a hole in Dazhou, and the army was defeated like a mountain.

In this life, the Battle of Cizhou was brought forward by more than a month.

Lu Bing, probably got the news and went to Cizhou.It's just that he has checked in the past two days and found no sign of troop transfer. Where is Lu Bing going to transfer troops, and may he get enough troops?
Zhao Chen asked, "How is General Fu?"
