Seeing that Xiao Guizi was still waiting for his instructions, Xiao Rongxi raised his hand, "Please come in."

"Yes."

Xiao Guizi bowed out, Xiao Rongxi got up and stayed on the bed, put on his shoes, and sat back behind the desk.Sitting down and looking up, Xiao Yiheng has already strode in.

Just now Xiao Rongxi was about to take a nap, and ordered someone to close the windows. At this moment, the hall was slightly dark. When Xiao Yiheng appeared at the door, the light and shadow were stretched very long, coming against the light, and his face was hidden in the darkness, making it hard to see his expression clearly.

"His Majesty."

Xiao Yiheng approached, greeted him, and frowned.

When the two met, they always used open and hidden arrows, but the atmosphere was different this time.

Xiao Rongxi saw that there was a faint hostility between his brows, but he was not in a hurry, and pointed to the position of the lower head, "Sit down, Xiao Guizi, and enjoy tea."

"I don't know why Prince Chen suddenly entered the palace, why?"

"What's your Majesty's opinion on Liang Guo's disturbance of our border?"

The two spoke in unison, both were questions, but they had already completed their answers.

Xiao Rongxi already had an idea in his mind, but he didn't rush to say it, he just said, "Do you want to lead the army to fight?"

"Yes," Xiao Yiheng was full of air, "Master Liang has been plotting for a long time. He has repeatedly violated our borders. It is a provocation and a temptation. If you don't suppress his arrogance from the beginning, it will only encourage the arrogance of others. If you want to calm down in the future, you need Pay more."

He has a deep understanding of this.

Whether it is history books or wars that have been experienced in the past, it can be corroborated.

Xiao Rongxi wrapped her index finger around the tassel on the handle of the fan, and after a few seconds of silence, she suddenly asked, "Do you have a plan?"

Xiao Yiheng: "If Liang Guo's army wants to knock on the door, they must pass through Baixiong Pass instead of climbing over the snow-capped mountains on both sides. Baixiong Pass is not easy to defend and difficult to attack, but if it is handled properly, it is absolutely impossible for the enemy to break through the city in a short time. , the longer it is delayed, the supply cannot keep up, and it will be more unfavorable to them.”

Xiao Rongxi said again, "According to secret intelligence reports, Liang Guo's military strength is upwards of 20."

Xiao Yiheng nodded, "The army hasn't set out yet, and our spies don't have any more accurate information, only the approximate number. We can't be sure which troops he will call, but Taiyin, Tanggang, and Huaxi are the most possible."

"Before they meet up, you can send someone to use the valley to ambush. It's best to ambush part of them. If you can't ambush, you don't lose anything."

Afterwards, the two discussed this matter for a while, seeing that Xiao Rongxi was still hesitant and didn't intend to let go, Xiao Yiheng was going to persuade him again.

Even without him as the supreme commander, this battle must be fought.

"His Majesty……"

"feasible."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Xiao Rongxi interrupted him.

Xiao Yiheng was startled, "It's possible, what does Your Majesty mean?"

Xiao Rongxi smiled lightly, "It's possible to fight; it's also possible for you to lead the army."

He caught a glimpse of the other person's face and asked, "Why, surprised?"

"It's no surprise if you're not surprised," Xiao Yiheng saw that he agreed, but he didn't relax his vigilance, "Your Majesty allows me to lead the army, so you won't be afraid of my achievements and self-respect?"

Xiao Rongxi raised her eyebrows, "Aren't you like this now?"

The battle must be fought, and Liang Guo must be hurt so that the opponent will have a long memory.

But as for who will lead the army, Xiao Rongxi did hesitate, but when Xiao Yiheng chose to enter the palace and wanted to take the initiative to take the job, he had already made his decision.

Xiao Yiheng sneered, with a little indifference in his eyes, "Hmph."

As soon as the words finished, Xiao Guizi came in from outside the hall, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Old General Wei has arrived."

"Invite people in."

"Yes."

Seeing Xiao Guizi's fast footsteps, Xiao Yiheng turned his head to look at the person behind the desk, "You have already decided to send troops?"

Xiao Rongxi raised his eyes, and the eyes of the two of them separated immediately. They didn't answer directly, but said, "I summoned Old General Wei into the palace. He is quite experienced in dealing with Liang Guo. You can discuss it further."

……

Until he walked out of Zichen Palace, Xiao Yiheng couldn't help thinking about it.

Yang Chu was waiting for him on the palace road. Seeing the man's solemn expression, he was exceptionally silent. He thought it was because His Majesty and His Highness hadn't reached an agreement, so he said, "Your Highness, it's normal for Your Majesty to be afraid of you, but you just don't know what the final decision is." Which general will lead the army?"

"He agreed."

Yang Chu: "Huh?"

Xiao Yiheng smiled, and strode forward, "I think he is pleasing to the eye today. Yang Chu, you will start to arrange it in a while, get it sorted out as soon as possible, and rush to the border."

Yang Chu immediately put away his surprised expression, "This subordinate understands."

Ever since Wei Jian'en was called into the palace, everyone had guessed in their hearts that the battle with Liang Guo was probably going to be fought.

As for the series of actions His Royal Highness Chen took after leaving the palace, what else is there that I don't understand?
Originally, this matter was the focus of attention of the ruling and opposition parties. In one afternoon, the news of the preparations for the war spread to various mansions, and each had their own thoughts.

In the evening, the orange-red glow of the ginkgo tree in Yu Xinghong's yard echoed the not-so-hot fire inside the house.

He was throwing letters into the brazier when the steward relayed the news to him.

The light yellow letter paper was covered on the charcoal fire, and it was slowly baked black, and the black continued to spread, swallowing the writing on it.

"Ready to send troops?" Yu Xinghong looked indifferent, not surprised, as if he had expected it a long time ago, "Who will take care of it?"

Butler: "His Royal Highness Chen Wang will coordinate and approve with His Majesty's approval."

"Oh," Yu Xinghong shook his head, picked up another letter, looked at it, and continued to put it in the basin, "Our Majesty really trusts him, but I don't know what to do."

There was a quarrel between the two of them, and it was best for him to fight to the detriment of both, but something is wrong now...

Yu Xinghong also supported this battle, but he didn't expect Xiao Rongxi to give Xiao Yiheng such great power.

"Tsk," he sighed, feeling a little depressed for a while, "what went wrong?"

The butler didn't know how to answer, so he just stood quietly aside.

"That's all," Yu Xinghong said to himself after a while, "It's not important. Once King Chen leaves Beijing, he's far away at the border and beyond our reach. It's also an opportunity for us. By the way, what happened to the matter that I asked you to investigate? Is Poppy still in jail?"

"Return to the master. Recently, the guards in the palace are particularly tight. Our people have not yet penetrated, so we can't find it for the time being. But now that the army is rising, all ministries are busy, and the palace is no exception. There should be a chance."

"ASAP."

The butler responded, "Understood."

"Where's the young master?" He asked again, "I heard from the doctor that his injury has been healed. Has there been any unreasonable behavior in the past few days?"

Steward: "Not yet."

"master."

Before Yu Xinghong had time to respond, a servant's voice came from outside the door, "It's time for you and the adults to go to the Huxin Pavilion for tea."
