Luo Duo did not hesitate, and said in a deep voice: "Follow me!" With a flash of his figure, he led several people to hide behind the nearby stone pile. 『Apex』『Novel』,

The Tiangong is a huge project, and the materials used are huge. Although the Tiangong is beautifully built, the discarded stones will not be cleaned up for a while, and they cannot be piled up next to the Tiangong. Instead, they are piled up nearby. This kind of abandoned stone pile can be seen everywhere around Tiangong.

"No, it's not the prince's cavalry!" Chu Huan hid behind the stone, only to see that the cavalry was galloping, but the formation was neat, and ten cavalry formed a horizontal line. Chu Huan could see clearly that the cavalry on the horses were all in red armor, and he couldn't help saying: "Yes...it's the red armored cavalry!"

The Chibei Tuqi is famous all over the world. Although Chu Huan doesn't know much about the Liaodong Cavalry, he also knows that the Liaodong Chibei is the strongest cavalry army in the world today, and the Chibei Tuqi are all red armor and red helmets. .

Mei Niang frowned and said: "Brother Huan, Chibei Tuqi is the team of Chiliandian, and they also follow the order of the prince to hunt and kill us?"

"Chi Liandian probably won't obey the prince's order." Chu Huan shook his head and cast a sidelong glance at the queen, who saw her eyes closed tightly and her face slightly pale, "He escaped from the heavenly palace, and now he doesn't know whether he is dead or not. live."

"It seems that this cavalry is preparing to meet Chiliandian." Meiniang said in a low voice, "Chiliandian may have expected that the Hexi attack would be very dangerous...!"

Chi Beitu rode a horse like a dragon and a man like a tiger, roaring past, and disappeared into the night in a moment.

Seeing them leaving, Chu Huan was about to carry the queen on his back when he suddenly thought of something and said to Luo Duo, "Brother, can you untie the queen's acupoints first?"

Rodo shook his head.

Chu Huan was taken aback, and Luo Duo explained: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. I'll explain to you after I go up the mountain!" Without saying much, Chu Huan had no choice but to carry the queen on his back again, and the group ran to Beili Mountain.

……

……

The prince sent Xuanyuan Shao to lead the cavalry to chase after Chu Huan and his party. Surrounded by all the officials, they returned to Juxian Hall worried. trail of riding."

The ministers were shocked when they heard the words, all of them changed their colors, and the prince's expression also sank, "Where are they now? But they are coming to the Heavenly Palace?"

"They first wandered around the Wuping Fucheng, and then walked back and forth near the Tiangong, but they didn't get close to the Tiangong." The visitor reported: "Now they have gone to the southeast!"

Lin Yuanfang said angrily: "Chibei Tuqi dared to run freely and horizontally in the Hexi territory without the prince's will. They really are lawless. What exactly do they want?"

Ma Hong cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, Chi Liandian's rebellion has already been revealed, and Chi Bei's assault cavalry has no military methods. Your Highness, please send troops to chase and suppress Chi Bei immediately."

Zhou Ting frowned and said, "No!"

"Master Zhou said no?" Lin Yuanfang sneered, "Chibei is lawless in Hexi, shouldn't he be pursued?"

Zhou Ting ignored Lin Yuanfang, and said to the crown prince, "His Royal Highness, Chu Huan broke into the Forbidden Palace without authorization and kidnapped the queen. I'm afraid it will be difficult to turn back. As long as he escapes to the northwest, the northwest will be in chaos."

The prince looked stern and nodded slightly.

"Chi Liandian's mind is unpredictable, and entering the palace this time is also difficult to distinguish between loyalty and traitor." Zhou Ting said solemnly: "If Chi Liandian hasn't rebelled for a day, the imperial court can't declare that he has rebelled, and there is no room for it."

The prince asked, "What does Nayan mean?"

"Chiliandian is the top general of the empire. Up to now, he has not openly rebelled, and Liaodong troops are also besieging King Qingtian of Hebei." Zhou Ting said seriously: "In this case, no matter whether Chiliandian What do you think, the imperial court needs him to hold Qingtian Wang back, if at this moment he is ordered to rebel against the red refining power, it will do a hundred harms to the imperial court without any exception."

Xue Huai'an cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, what Lord Nayan said is very true. The Liaodong Army is currently being dragged in Fuhai. In this case, even if Chi Liandian has other intentions, he dare not openly rebel at this time. , the imperial court can turn a blind eye for a while, what the imperial court needs now is time, and it must not push Liaodong too hastily."

The prince said: "What the two adults said is very true."

Zhou Ting said again: "His Royal Highness's current priority is to stabilize Hexi. In the current situation, the southeast has fallen into the hands of Tianmen monsters, Luo'an capital has also been destroyed, and there is no peaceful place in the entire south of Fenshui."

The prince frowned, but looked at Zhou Ting sincerely, and said, "Zhou Nayan, in your opinion, what should we do next?"

"My minister dares to say that with the current situation, it is already difficult to return the capital of Luo'an. To regain the capital, you need to accumulate enough strength in the north." Zhou Ting said seriously: "His Royal Highness should take Hexi as the main target." The foundation has jurisdiction over Anyi, Xishan, Hujin and other provinces, so as to calm the hearts of the people, gather sages, save money and food, and recruit soldiers and horses. First settle the north, and as long as the north is pacified, you can go south to recover the lost land and revive the Great Qin."

The prince's eyes brightened slightly, and he said, "What does Na Yan mean, to ignore Tianmen Dao for now?"

"The Tianmen Dao originated in the southeast, and the damage to the north is relatively small." Zhou Ting said: "Although the Tianmen Dao is pressing every step of the way, they are a group of evil rats who have no long-term plan. They just burn, kill and loot. , but now it is poisoning the living beings. As far as I know, every time the Tianmen Dao captures a place, it will let the local people join the Tianmen Dao and obey the orders, but if they don’t follow, they will kill them. ?”

"That's right." Xue Huai'an nodded and said, "The demonic way of Tianmen is like locusts. Wherever they pass, no dog or dog will stay. If the food is edible, it must be self-defeating."

"Your Highness doesn't need to cross the Fenshui River to kill people. You only need to garrison troops in Fenshui River. If the Heavenly Gate can't pass through Fenshui River, it will only become weaker and weaker." Zhou Ting said: "Now the south is not the top priority, but to integrate the north, As long as the north is pacified, the south will be short-lived. Although there are many bandits and bandits who dominate the various roads, such as Zheng Taicheng and Huang Sheng in Sichuan, they are just a group of bandits, short-sighted, and geographically limited. They can only temporarily dominate one side. , absolutely impossible. The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River will not support those bandits who ruled one side anyway, and those people just want to separate one side and establish themselves as kings. Your Highness can ignore it. The general trend of the world is that if you advance, you will survive and if you follow the rules, you will die , they have no strength to advance, they can only defend one side alone, they are destined to be unable to achieve great things, but instead attack and kill each other for petty gains. If His Highness does not need to send troops to suppress such a major event, they will be destroyed by self-killing."

The prince sneered and said, "They're just clowns, nothing to be afraid of."

"What your Highness needs to pay attention to most now is the Northwest and Liaodong." Zhou Ting frowned and said: "Although the Northwest is barren, since the founding of the country, the gentry in the Northwest have not completely accepted them. Tian Ling, for the people to rest and recuperate, has the right time and place, and the people in the northwest are fierce and brave in battle, and Chu Huan has already established business with Xiliang, traded salt and horses, and strengthened his armaments.

Lin Yuanfang couldn't help but interjected: "Your Highness, Chu Huan is mining new salt in the northwest. The salt roads are all over the pass and inside the pass, and it is making a lot of money every day. If things go on like this, the barren situation in the northwest will no longer exist." Turning his eyes, he said: " In my opinion, the most important thing at the moment is to seal off Xigu Pass and cut off Chu Huan's connection with the pass. In this way, new salt cannot enter the pass, and the grain in the pass cannot be transported to the northwest. There is a shortage of food in the northwest. Hungry people will inevitably rise up one after another, and it is impossible for Chu Huan to gain a foothold in the northwest."

The prince was thoughtful, and said: "Master Lin's words are not bad. To seal Xiguguan, there are [-] miles of North Ridge as a natural moat. If Chu Huan's Northwest Army can't enter the pass, they will be turtles in the urn."

Seeing the crown prince's praise, Lin Yuanfang regained her spirits immediately, and said, "Da Xizhang, the guard of Xigu Pass, is appointed by the sage to guard the pass. He is loyal to the imperial court. As long as the crown prince gives an order, Da Xizhang will definitely block Xigu Pass. You know, in order to avoid the flames of war, many people in the pass fled to the northwest one after another, among them there are many wealthy gentry in the pass. If they leave the pass and go to the northwest, they will not only increase the population of the northwest, but also bring a large amount of supplies, which will be harmful to the imperial court. Once the West Valley Pass is blocked, they will not be able to go to the northwest, so they can only look to the north, and Chu Huan will not be able to continue to trade with the pass, killing two birds with one stone."

"It's a good plan to draw salary from the bottom of the pot. It's wonderful!" Ma Hong praised: "Your Highness, Lin Butang is the best strategy."

The prince looked calm, "Na Yan, what do you think of what Master Lin said?"

Zhou Ting hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly: "What Master Lin said is not unreasonable."

Xue Huai'an frowned and said, "The Xiliang people invaded the northwest. The northwest is barren and the refugees are everywhere. It has not slowed down until now. There is a shortage of food in the northwest. If the West Valley Pass is blocked, Chu Huan will not be able to trade with the pass. As a result, the situation in the Northwest will be worsened, and the people will have no food to eat, and I am afraid that many people will starve to death."

Ma Hong immediately said: "Master Xue is interceding for Chu Huan?"

Xue Huai'an has always been a good man, he is easy-going and easy-going, and he is easy-going. Hearing Ma Hong's aggressiveness at this time, he felt a little annoyed, and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean by Mr. Ma? Why are you interceding for Chu Huan?" Although Chu Huan betrayed the imperial court, it does not mean that all the people in the northwest are traitors. Blocking Xigu Pass means cutting off the livelihood of the people in the northwest. Since Xue is a courtier of the Great Qin Dynasty, why can’t he be considered for the millions of people in the northwest? Fan?"

Lin Yuanfang snorted coldly, and said: "They support Chu Huan, they are rebellious officials and traitors, and there is no doubt that they are rebellious. If they are really loyal to the court, they should strangle Chu Huan to death. As long as Chu Huan dies, Xiguguan can be opened. Master Xue now Considering that the people in the northwest have no food to eat, even if Xiguguan is really opened to let the food enter the northwest, Chu Huan can't use the food to relieve the victims of the disaster, it will only be used as army food, and the army will rebel. "

Xue Huai'an turned his face away, his face was full of anger, and he ignored it.

The prince said indifferently: "You are ministers in the same hall, each expressing his own opinion, you are all for the sake of the country, there is no need to argue." Suddenly thought of something, asked: "How is the father now?"

The back garden was in a mess, but the queen was kidnapped, and everyone didn't have time to take care of it for a while, so they only sent a few people to guard the garden. At this moment, the prince mentioned it, and everyone immediately remembered that the prince had already turned his wheelchair and headed for Juxian Houdian.
