Chapter 1430 Hand in Hand

The prince didn't relax because of Lei Guheng's oath-like words, on the contrary, he frowned even tighter.

Lei Guheng's voice was sonorous, claiming that as long as he was alive, he would not let a single soldier from the Tianmen Dao cross Quzhou. This veteran who has fought for half his life is obviously ready to live and die with Quzhou.

He is the chief general of the southeast side, and the imperial court gave him the greatest support possible, but he is still defeated in Quzhou. No matter what the reason is, for Lei Guheng, after Quzhou is the capital, and he has no way out.

But for the crown prince, there is obviously another meaning behind Lei Guheng's words.

If he is alive, he will try his best to stop the Taoists of Tianmen, but what if Lei Guheng makes a mistake?If Lei Guheng spilled blood on the battlefield, would there be no one to resist?

Lei Guheng obviously understood the meaning of the crown prince, pondered for a while, and said: "Your Highness, for the current plan, His Highness has two options, no matter which one, His Highness can take it."

"Oh?" The prince hurriedly said, "Please tell me, old general!"

"The Holy Majesty is in Hexi, and His Highness can go to Hexi to meet the Holy Majesty. In this way, even if the capital falls, His Highness will be safe." Lei Guheng stared into the eyes of the prince, "Hexi Feng Yuanpo still has elite soldiers and strong generals in his hands. , In Liaodong, the commander-in-chief also has Liaodong iron cavalry. If these two soldiers and horses are assembled, under the command of the Holy Majesty, they will go from north to south, and it may not be possible to wipe out the Tianmen Dao. Although the world is in turmoil, as long as the Holy Majesty really gathers These two soldiers and horses will definitely have loyal ministers to follow, whether it is Xishan Dao or Anyi Dao, they will follow the Holy Majesty!"

The crown prince said indifferently: "What does the old general mean, that I want my palace to leave the capital and the people here, and take refuge in Hexi?"

"This is the safest method at the moment." Lei Guheng said slowly: "Even if the south, including Jingye, falls into the hands of Tianmen Dao, the north is still under the control of Daqin. But to unify the world, and still have half of the country in our hands, we can definitely recover the capital and revive the Great Qin!"

The crown prince shook his head and said, "Old general, let alone whether my father will convict me when I go to Hexi, even if I don't, I will never leave the capital. Guarding the capital, don't say that the Tianmen Dao has not yet come to the city, even if the soldiers do come to the city, the palace will live and die with the capital!"

His voice was firm, clearly determined.

Lei Guheng showed admiration in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Your Highness said so, then there is another way, and the old minister thinks it can be implemented immediately!"

"Old General, please speak!"

"The veteran sits in Quzhou, and will do his best to block the attack of Tianmen Dao and buy time for His Highness." Lei Guheng said solemnly: "Since Your Highness is going to defend the capital to the death, then you need to use Qin Shui as a natural moat, and immediately transfer troops to Qin On the banks of the water, deploy defenses, and at the critical moment, destroy the two bridges on Qinshui. After all, the Taoists of Tianmen are just a group of mobs with a large number of people. If the veteran is really defeated, His Highness can rely on Qinshui to resist Tianmen Mendao, they don't have a navy, and they need to build ships if they want to cross the river, so naturally they will need ships."

The crown prince frowned and said, "Old general, will they avoid Qinshui, go west to Jinling, and make a detour from Jinling...!"

Lei Guheng shook his head and said: "Tianmen Dao wants to capture the capital right now, and the mood is broken. Once Quzhou is really captured, as long as you cross the Qinshui River, you will be the capital city. On the other side of the Qinshui River, you can even see the capital. Detouring Jinling, even if there is no obstacle, it will take more than half a month to avoid Qinshui and enter the west of the capital, but there are strong mountains in the west, which are natural barriers, and the guards are stationed on the strong mountains. It is impossible to cross over...Your Highness, just imagine, are they willing to pay a certain price to cross the Qinshui River and take the capital directly, or do they want to make a big circle and kill all the way from Jinling? Jinling Road also has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the way is also the same Fighting is inevitable."

The prince nodded slightly when he heard the words, "What the old general said is very true. From this point of view, if they want to take down the capital, they can only come from crossing the Qin River... The Qin water is so deep that they cannot swim over it. Come here, supplies and equipment can't swim...!"

"That's right, so Your Highness stopped the soldiers and horses and defended Qinshui." Lei Guheng said seriously: "Actually, the bandits don't do production, they just support the war by seizing food and supplies. The Jianghuai and Donghai Dao have been in chaos for the past few years, and the common people They have no intention of producing at all. Their food and materials are already scarce, and they have been able to fight until now only because they believed in evil words. Hundreds of thousands of Tianmen bandits consume a huge amount of food and grass every day. Veterans in Jianghuai At that time, I thought about killing those monsters alive, but unexpectedly, something happened...!" With a wry smile and shaking his head, "But there is one thing that the old minister is sure of. Although Tianmen Dao is powerful now, their logistics The Jianghuai River and the East China Sea are in dire straits, although they own two roads, it is not enough to provide them with the logistics to persevere."

The prince's expression was slightly clearer, "The old general said that Tianmen Dao is now at the end of its battle?"

"In the final analysis, Tianmen Dao is a group of mobs. Their greatest advantage is that they can confuse the people with evil words, confuse the hearts of the people, and make their troops grow rapidly." Lei Guheng sneered: "But the biggest weakness of the bandits lies in this. They only think about rebellion, and rebellion means destroying everywhere instead of building, which also brings troubles to themselves. As their numbers increase, the logistics supply will become more and more tight. The veteran thinks that most of the The members of the Tianmen Dao, follow the Tianmen Dao to create chaos, just to fill their stomachs, if the logistics supply of the Tianmen Dao cannot be provided, Your Highness, what do you think will happen to those mobs?"

"If food and grass are not enough, thieves will cause chaos!"

"That's right!" Lei Guheng sneered and said, "Tianmen Dao is now at the end of its strength, and they are desperately attacking at any cost. In the opinion of the veteran, it is a problem with the logistics of Tianmen Dao, which must be resolved quickly and cannot be used up any longer. Quzhou buys time for the crown prince. Your Highness only needs to stick to Qinshui and guard it with all his might. As long as the Tianmen Dao cannot provide food and grass, most of the hundreds of thousands of Tianmen Daoists will collapse. At that time, the Holy One will definitely send reinforcements, as long as we fight steadily , step by step to the south, the Tianmen Dao, which is weak in stamina, will definitely be wiped out!"

The prince's eyes sparkled, and he clapped his hands and said: "What the old general said is very true. I was distracted by the momentum of the Tianmen Dao before, but now I hear what the old general said. It makes sense. Yes, the demons of the Tianmen are all flesh and blood. Without food and grass, they can't continue fighting, as long as I stick to Qin Shui, it will be difficult for them to cross, and if the logistics can't keep up, they will always fall by themselves."

"When the old minister returned to Beijing, he had already issued an order that the rich and powerful families in Quzhou would transport all their supplies to the vicinity of Gyeonggi. Your Highness, the old minister assured them that the capital is protected by Qin water. Even if Quzhou is not protected, the Tianmen Road cannot cross Qin Water and supplies can be safely transported to the vicinity of the capital." Lei Guheng said solemnly: "The old minister will definitely withdraw all the supplies in Quzhou. Even if Quzhou is really not safe in the end, the old minister will not leave them a food."

"Hearing what the old general said, he suddenly opened up." The prince immediately said: "Old general, don't worry, you sit in Quzhou, and the palace immediately builds the Qinshui defense line. When it can't support it, the old general retreats to Qinshui. The danger of water, blocking the way of Tianmen."

Hearing this, Lei Guheng just smiled lightly and did not answer directly. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, the situation on the front line is urgent. Tianmen Dao will launch a general attack at any time. The old minister can't delay here for too long. He will return to the front line tonight. Your Highness urgently deploys Qin Shui There is only one line of defense, His Highness still needs to be careful."

"What did the old general say?"

"Jinling warehouse!" Lei Guheng said solemnly: "Jinling warehouse is the largest of the four major granaries of our Great Qin Dynasty, and there are still grains stored in it. The old minister thought that we should send heavy troops to guard Jinling warehouse, so as not to be taken advantage of by Tianmen Dao If you want to enter, you should immediately transfer all the grain from the Jinling warehouse to the capital to avoid future troubles."

The prince nodded and said: "Although there are tens of thousands of guards in Jinling, and the Jinling warehouse is built in a dangerous place, I also feel that it is not appropriate." Lowering his voice, he said softly: "I am not only worried that the Tianmen Dao may be destroyed. Taking advantage of the opportunity, I am even more worried that some people with ulterior motives are also planning for the Jinling warehouse, so I have prepared to transfer the grain from the Jinling warehouse to the capital to ensure nothing goes wrong."

"Since this is the case, the old minister can rest assured." Lei Guheng said: "When that batch of grain enters the capital, our army's morale will be greatly shaken, and we will have a little more confidence in defending Qinshui." Standing up, he cupped his hands and said: " Your Highness, the old minister will bid farewell, Your Highness, please take care!"

The prince couldn't get up, so he could only hold Lei Guheng's old but powerful hand, "Old general, don't worry, the old general is in front, and this palace is behind. If the old general loses, he will retreat to Qinshui. I will join hands with the old general to conquer the powerful enemy together!"

Lei Guheng smiled and nodded, without saying much, turned around and walked to the gate, the crown prince looked at his back and couldn't help shouting: "Old general...!"

Lei Guheng stopped in his tracks and didn't turn his head, he just asked, "What else do you want Your Highness to say?"

"I remember that when I was young, I practiced with the old general." The prince looked at Lei Guheng's back and said slowly: "That was the happiest time in my life. There are many benefits...Teacher, go all the way!" At this point, the prince clasped his fists and bowed deeply to Lei Guheng's back.

Lei Guheng didn't look back, just smiled and said: "Actually, the most gratifying thing for the old minister is that he has brought out such talents as His Highness!" Without further words, he strode away, and the hall was deadly silent again for a while——
