"Read!"

Chu Chang looked at the messenger in front of him.

"Your Highness, General Wei has arrived in Peicheng in advance and is now outside asking for an audience."

The messenger lowered his head respectfully.

"Oh? Please!"

Chu Chang's face showed a bit of shock, he glanced at the teacher beside him, and then gave instructions to the messenger.

"Yes!"

The messenger ordered the soldiers to retreat, and not long after, Wei Hong, dressed in casual clothes, was invited into the house, accompanied by a deputy general.

"General, I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

Wei Hong clasped his fists at Chu Chang.

Chu Chang looked at Wei Hong, who was not kneeling down, with a flash of displeasure in his eyes. Before Chu Chang could ask, Wei Hong took the initiative to speak: "Your Highness, I hope you will forgive me. Vice General Liu was worried about the general's safety, so he went out of his way to Accompanying me, if there is any offense, I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will forgive me."

Ok?

Chu Chang glanced at Vice General Liu, who had a sinister and expressionless face, and frowned slightly. Logically speaking, Wei Hong, as the commander of an army, could come and go freely, and his generals could not disobey orders or make decisions without permission, unless …

A flash of understanding flashed in Chu Chang's eyes. It was obvious that the deputy general Liu in front of him was placed by Chu Yongqi in the army and was responsible for supervising Wei Hong. He could report news to Chu Yongqi at any time. The reason why Wei Hong did not kneel down was to avoid suspicion. , after all, the original meeting in private was no longer compatible, and if he knelt down and worshiped again, it would be tantamount to surrendering to another Ming Lord.

Let’s not talk about how Chu Yongqi’s side will react, but Wei Hong’s side. According to Zhou Daozi’s speculation, Wei Hong will never hand over his wealth and life easily before the overall situation is clear.

"Vice General Liu is loyal and loyal. Naturally, Gu will not blame him. Instead, he appreciates him very much."

Chu Teng put away the speculation in his eyes without any trace, and raised the corners of his mouth to reveal a smile.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Wei Hong clasped his fists at Chu Chang. While Chu Chang was sizing him up, he was also secretly observing His Highness the Crown Prince in front of him. His Highness the Crown Prince in front of him was slightly different from the rumors. His Highness the Crown Prince could see through his words at a glance. If he had anything to say, he was obviously very thoughtful, but based on this alone, he would not consider it, because the ability he had shown so far was still far from that of King Qi Chu Yongqi.

"General Wei, I have invited you here to discuss the next campaign against Xiqi. The third prince of Xiqi will lead an army of 100,000 people and will arrive at Nanlinguan in the near future. By then, Dali and Xiqi will have to There will be a big battle. As the prince of Dali, I vow to defend Dali and drive Xiqi out of Dali. Unfortunately, I only have fifty guards under my command. On the battlefield, I can't make any trouble at all, so... I I want to borrow troops from General Wei!"

Chu Chang stared straight at Wei Hong, observing Wei Hong's every move.

"Borrowing troops?"

Wei Hong was stunned for a moment. He had thought about several possibilities before coming, but he did not think of borrowing troops. After all, in the transfer order, a hundred thousand troops were directly dispatched by him. As long as there is no holy order, no one has the right to mobilize even one of his troops. One pawn.

But now that Chu Chang had put these words in plain sight, it was hard for him to refuse.

"I wonder how many troops your Highness the Crown Prince would like to borrow?"

Wei Hong thought for a moment and then asked.

"Ten thousand! My father led an army of 30,000 in the war, and he fought in the north and south. This was the only way to ensure the peace of Dali for thirty years. I wonder if I don't have the ability of my father, but I also want to imitate my father. As long as General Wei I will help Gu Gu’s 10,000-strong army, Gu Yuan will be the vanguard, and fight the Xiqi bandits to the bitter end!”

Chu Chang said loudly.

"Your Highness, a hundred thousand troops are at the disposal of General Wei. This is the Holy Spirit's golden words. Let alone ten thousand, even one soldier is absolutely impossible!"

Before Wei Hong could speak, Lieutenant General Liu refused without mercy at all.

A gloomy look flashed across Chu Chang's eyes, and then he smiled slightly: "Vice General Liu, I just borrowed 10,000 troops, and I didn't say that I would take these 10,000 troops as my own. These 10,000 troops are still under the command of General Wei. I just want to I’m just going to lead my big Li’er men into battle to kill the enemy!”

"If His Highness the Crown Prince really wants to do this, why not join our Huwei Army? Then he can naturally take the lead and be a vanguard!"

Vice General Liu sneered and shouted.

"Vice General Liu, your method is feasible, how about you think about it?"

Chu Chang's face was gloomy, he looked at Lieutenant General Liu with a smile but not a smile, and said coldly.

"So good!"

Vice General Liu sneered and crossed his arms across his chest, not caring at all about the threat in Chu Chang's words.

Just when the situation was getting tense, Zhou Daozi stood up stroking his beard: "General Wei, Deputy General Liu, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are also dedicated to protecting their homes and country. How about those barbaric, vulgar, and uncivilized barbarians from Xiqi who are approaching the city? They want to take away our fields, plunder our money and grain, and rape our wives and daughters, but even a passionate person will never remain indifferent."

"What Mr. Zhou said is absolutely true. These Xiqi bastards are simply too deceptive! The Holy Lord is here to avoid future troubles forever, so he sent his general and an army of 100,000 to support the Marquis of Zhenyuan!"

Wei Hong clasped his fists at Zhou Daozi, and then looked at Chu Chang: "However, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, carries the emperor's mandate and vows to defeat those bastards in Xiqi, so I will lend you 10,000 troops, or at most 3,000 men." .”

"General Wei, you are carrying the emperor's orders this time. You are seconding troops privately. If the Holy One finds out, I'm afraid..."

Before Chu Chang could speak, Lieutenant General Liu's face darkened, he suddenly came to his senses, looked at Wei Hong on the side unceremoniously, and threatened him.

"Liu Lieutenant General, the general will not accept the emperor's order! What's more, His Highness the Crown Prince's move is also to go into battle to kill the enemy, so it does not count as a violation of the emperor's order!"

Wei Hong raised his eyebrows and glanced sideways at Deputy General Liu.

"You! Huh! I hope you can give the Holy Master a reasonable explanation by then!"

Vice General Liu flicked his sleeves and turned to look aside. The Holy Emperor he mentioned was just a cover. The implication was that he wanted Wei Hong to give an explanation to his master, King Qi.

"Thank you, General Wei, for your support! General, please rest assured that I will never let you down!"

Chu Chang originally wanted to ask for more people, but after looking at the teacher beside him and seeing the latter shaking his head slightly, he changed his mind and happily accepted.

"Your Highness, you are polite. If nothing happens, I will leave first."

Wei Hong clasped his fists at Chu Chang, then nodded to Zhou Daozi on the side, then turned and left with Deputy General Liu.

"Teacher, Xiqi has a hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and there are only 3,000 troops. Against Xiqi's 100,000 soldiers and horses, it is simply..."

When Wei Hong and Lieutenant General Liu left, Chu Chang frowned. He originally wanted to seek death, but when he thought that he would also go out to fight against the enemy, he swallowed his words again.
