Chapter 443 Ending War With War (Part [-])
Su Bai leaned forward slightly, his whole body awe-inspiring, "Liang Changshi, take a closer look, is this king real or not? Or, does he look like that ghost-faced general?"

It smells right.

Ye Chang also had some respect for Su Bai at this time, and even felt that he was the prince.He sighed once again, if it wasn't for his concubine being so powerful that she could tell the real prince from the fake one, he would be really worried that this kid would take advantage of him.

Liang Zhong usually met King Jin a few times, and he also secretly went to Jinzhou to investigate King Jin's whereabouts before, so he was more familiar with King Jin than others.Such a mighty King Jin, I'm afraid no one can pretend.

He cupped his hands and knelt down on one knee, "I don't dare! It's just that the situation in the northwest is really critical now, and the imperial court refuses to send troops to reinforce it. The soldiers of the Northwest Army have been blocking the door with their lives, and there will always be a time when they can't stop it."

Su Bai frowned, he knew about the crisis in the Northwest, but he didn't expect it to be so critical.This is still the case of Zhao Chengyuan in the Northwest. If he hadn't gone, wouldn't the Northwest have already opened the door to the country?

Even if Zhao Chengyuan was in a desperate situation, he probably wouldn't say that he was in a difficult situation.If the court has been refusing to increase troops, but Xiliang has instead increased troops, one will ebb and flow, and the Great Zhou will be in danger.

His tone was slightly slow, "Get up."

Liang Zhong thanked him and stood up, "Now the Dingbei Army, the Southwest Army, and the Liangchuan Camp have sufficient troops, but they dare not rush to help without an imperial decree. The Prince has already transferred the soldiers and guards of the Prince's Mansion to the Northwest." , but it's just a drop in the bucket..."

The crown prince asked him to come to Xiangping mansion this time mainly to test him out.But since King Jin is real, he still hopes to find a useful idea to go back, maybe it can solve the crisis in the Northwest.

The King of Jin and the Marquis of Anling depend on each other as lips and teeth, and he will never watch the Northwest Army in deep trouble and remain indifferent.

In fact, Su Bai knew that most of the prince's intentions were probing.If you ask for help, it will never be the crown prince's turn. If you talk about closeness, An Linghou might be closer.

It's just that since the prince opened his mouth, if he didn't do anything, it would not be in line with Zhao Chengyuan's style.

On the other hand, although the Great Zhou Emperor is really not a fun thing, he even broke his country and ransacked his home.But the people are innocent, he has to do something.

Not because he is the king of Jin, but because he is Su Bai, who has experienced the suffering of the country.

Su Bai pondered for a long time, then looked at Han Youning, "The prince is in the Jianzhou military camp now, right?"

Han Youning can roughly guess the dangers of this battle. After all, if Da Zhou can agree to negotiate a peace, there must be danger of destroying the country.But listening to Liang Zhong's detailed account of the battle, she was still terrified, and she suddenly had a guess that the ghost-faced general might really be Zhao Chengyuan.

He rushed between the two cities, and he had to take care of both ends. How could he survive in the long run?Wouldn't it be dangerous if the Xiliang army had figured out what he was doing and intercepted him on the way?
Han Youning nodded and said, "Uncle Chen said that after the eldest brother was buried for the eldest cousin, he went directly to the Jianzhou military camp."

Su Bo said, "Jianzhou borders Xiliang, although they are separated by mountains, they have always been in peace with each other, but if you want to cross the mountains, it is not too difficult."

Jianzhou was originally part of Southern Chu, bordering Xiliang to the west and Xiyong to the south.Now that Southern Chu returned to Zhou, the barracks of the Southwest Army moved several hundred miles southwest from Xiangping Mansion and settled in Jianzhou.

Liang Zhong's eyes flickered slightly, "The lord is saying that let the Southwest Army raid Xiliang in order to attract the Xiliang Army's troops in the northwest?"

Su Bai nodded, "The duty of the border guards is to defend the country and expand the territory. The Xiliang army is concentrated in the northwest, unable to take care of the southwest. It is the duty of the southwest army to raid Xiliang at this time, and it will do more with less." effect."

Liang Zhong's face was full of reverence, and he cupped his hands and said sincerely, "My lord's plan is wonderful! I admire you!"

This is equivalent to deploying troops in disguise!The Southwest Army has [-] soldiers and horses!A real two hundred thousand soldiers and horses!
With the help of the Southwest Army, why should Xiliang be afraid?
Su Bo turned his head to look at Han Youning, with some worry and apology in his warm eyes, "It's just that, although it makes sense to do so in a legal way, the emperor will not fail to understand the true intention of the Southwest Army's move. In this way, It is going to drag Duke Dingguo's mansion into the quagmire, and there will be no peace."

There was a moment of hesitation in Han Youning's heart. She didn't want her father and brother to suffer again, and she didn't want them to work hard on the battlefield.The Dingguo government and the Chen family once gave everything they had, but neither of them ended up well, so it's not worth it.

But that hesitation was only for a moment, and the next moment, she was extremely firm.

"It is the general's responsibility to guard the Great Zhou. Before the righteousness of the country, the honor, disgrace and peace of a family are nothing."

With admiration and admiration in Su Bai's eyes, he said softly, "The princess is righteous."

He was worried that Han Youning would be resentful and refused to agree.After all, these days, he thinks she is just a little girl who cares about every penny!
Han Youning sighed secretly, perhaps, Master Xuanzhi's constant nagging in front of her "the world is the most important thing" worked.

But she didn't think it was her choice at this time, it was the elder brother's choice.

She said, "Whether the Southwest Army will send troops or not is up to the eldest brother, not me, a little girl."

But she believed that her elder brother would definitely agree and would not hesitate.

Subai nodded approvingly.She has learned Zhao Chengyuan's watertight ability by ten percent.Women are not allowed to interfere in state affairs, even if they are on the same front as Liang Zhong at this time, they have to be wary.

Of course, he himself has also learned Zhao Chengyuan's ability to stay out of things. He said in a low voice, "This king is just talking on paper. Liang Changshi doesn't have to take it seriously. Let's take it back and deal with business."

Where is this talking on paper?It's a pity that King Jin didn't go to the border to lead the army!
Liang Zhong didn't care to stay and observe King Jin anymore. After all, except for King Jin himself, I'm afraid no one would have such courage.And as he watched, the husband and wife were flirting with each other, how could this be fake?
He declined King Jin's request to stay, and hurriedly drove away.

Liang Zhong hesitated for a while on the street, but in the end he did not go back to the border town to ask the crown prince. Instead, he split up with the guards. The guards returned to the border town to report, while he went to Jianzhou to lobby Duke Ding.

The situation is urgent, and it is too late to go back and ask for instructions.

The next day, Han Youning and Master Xuanzhi brought up the matter while accompanying Hu Mu up the mountain to perform acupuncture.

"Master, do you think the apprentice is doing the right thing?"

Master Xuanzhi stroked his beard, "Buddha said to abstain from killing, and soldiers stop war with war. The two go their own way, so how can you be a teacher?"

Han Youning sat beside him eating snacks, and the two masters and apprentices ate faster than the other, "Master, don't play tricks with your disciples. Xiliang has already reached the gate of the house, can't we just sit and wait for death?"

Master Xuanzhi took the snack box to the other side, far away from the little apprentice, and said with a smile, "Stopping the war with war can solve the temporary difficulties, but in the long run, it is definitely not the fundamental solution."

Han Youning was thoughtful, "Yes, you can't fight forever."
