The prince is hard to serve

Since the mountains are often shrouded in clouds and mists, it is impossible to be sure whether there are King Huai's troops stationed on each peak. Therefore, they can only passively choose to defend instead of taking the initiative to attack.

Comparing the two, Yunchen is good at attacking, while Yunjing is better at defending.

It's a pity that Yun Jing's eyes are blind, and he can't take command in person, and he hasn't returned for 12 years, and he doesn't understand the current situation, so he dare not speak rashly.

After meditating alone for a long time, Yun Chen didn't turn his head until Yun Jing called him. After that, he looked at Lu Xi's position and asked, "How many troops are available in the imperial guards in Beijing?"

[-] is just a word count they estimated, he needs a more specific value for easy deployment.

Lu Xi thought for a while, and replied: "There are 2 imperial guards in the capital, of which 3000 are responsible for the safety of the palace. The sons of the family are just hung up for a position, and they can't count, so there are only 1000 soldiers available."

After his words fell, everyone in the room frowned.

There are only more than 1 people, which is too small.

The room suddenly fell silent.

Thinking, pondering, after a while, Mu Ziling's eyes suddenly flickered, then he raised his head, organized his sentences, and spoke first to break the silence in the room.

He said: "Maybe, we still have troops."

This sentence attracted everyone's attention to him, especially Yun Chen's gaze, which made Mu Ziling somewhat nervous and uncomfortable.

Observing Mu Ziling's expression carefully, seeing his slightly nervous eyes, Yan Wenhao smiled encouragingly at him, then patted his hand, and said softly: "What's the matter with modesty?" Thoughts? Feel free to speak up.”

Lu Xi has a calm temperament, but at this moment he is also staring at Mu Ziling intently, with urging intent in his eyes.

Tilting his head slightly, Mu Ziling saw Yan Wenhao's eyes looking at him tenderly. He stared at him in a daze, until the tension in his heart gradually dissipated, then he put on a solemn face, pursed his lips, Seriously said two words, "Private soldiers."

The so-called private soldiers refer to the men and horses raised privately in their mansions by the generals, princes, and princes of the first rank or above. It can be used for defense and cannot be abused. It is rarely used on weekdays.

"Private soldiers?"

Yun Chen was taken aback for a moment, then thought about it carefully, then laughed after he realized it, raised his hand to stroke his beard, and said: "Although the mansion's private soldiers have no actual combat experience, they have received orthodox training after all. It can’t be compared with the opponent, not even as good as the Imperial Guard, but it can help a little.”

Acting as heads, in this way, the enemy army will think that they have a large number of people, so they will be more vigilant, act more cautiously, and dare not enter the capital easily.

In this way, if Xie Jingyu can't arrive in time, he can buy a certain amount of time.

This hour is very important to them.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and told Lu Xi: "Go back to the palace immediately and report to His Majesty, and ask His Majesty to send someone to find the private soldiers from various royal residences, gather them together, and count their numbers again. Come and tell me before Xushi (7 to 9 p.m.)."

"The subordinate takes orders."

Lu Xi didn't delay at all. Hearing the words, she immediately bowed down and bowed briefly to Yan Wenhao and Mu Ziling, then turned around and quickly left for the palace.

But before leaving, he took another look at Yun Jing, who was sitting quietly drinking tea, his eyes moved slightly, but soon disappeared.

Not missing Lu Xi's last glance, Mu Ziling frowned, turned his head to look at the peaceful cloud scene, then leaned into Yan Wenhao's ear, and asked in a low voice, "Maybe Commander Lu will return to you this time? His Majesty's report to my uncle... is this all right?"

Although Yunjing lost one of his five senses, lost his vision, and lost his sight, his hearing became more and more sensitive. At this time, Mu Ziling's voice was already very small, but he still spoke sincerely. Listen clearly.

Therefore, before Yan Wenhao was about to speak, Yun Jing had already answered Mu Ziling's question in person.

"Lu Xi will definitely report."

With a fearless smile, Yun Jing then said softly: "However, Ziling, you don't need to worry, even if Lu Xi will mention it to His Majesty, it will be fine to me. If you do, you won’t be afraid, and you don’t need to cover up.”

He has tried his best!

...What's more, that foolish Yun Jing who didn't hit the south wall and didn't look back back then is indeed dead, and the one who is still alive now is just a blind man who has given up his mind and is useless.

Presumably, that high-ranking person, seeing his current appearance, would no longer need him.

When Yun Chen heard this, he turned his head to look at Yun Jing with a complicated expression, and there was a hint of helplessness and sigh in his eyes. He knew what kind of feelings Yun Jing had for Emperor Yan.

Back then, he vaguely had a guess, but he still didn't want to believe it, so he didn't dare to think about it anymore, and just kept it in the deepest part of his heart. However, just now, he asked Thinking of the reason why Yunjing hadn't returned for many years, Yunjing chose to confess to him after the silence.

For that moment, he was shocked, but he couldn't blame Yun Jing either.What's more, when he thought about it later, Yun Jing felt affection for Emperor Yan, but there was a reason, and it was natural.

When Yun Jing was five years old, he was selected as the companion of Emperor Yan at the same time as Mu Jiyan, who was 11 years old. At that time, Emperor Yan was only eight years old.Among the three of them, Yun Jing is the youngest and Mu Jiyan is the oldest.

Mu Jiyan was born in a scholarly family with strict family education, a calm personality, and extremely intelligent. He showed extraordinary talents in political affairs at a young age. Jing, because he was too young, grew up with Emperor Yan as a playmate.

The two of them are about the same age, but due to their backgrounds, Emperor Yan is also young and mature, at a young age, he is decisive and ruthless in his actions, with many means, without leaving any room for him, not at all like an eight-year-old child.

But this kind of him, only Yun Jing, is very exceptional.

He likes Yunjing very much and takes good care of him, from childhood to adulthood, it has never changed.

To Yun Jing who is only five years old, Emperor Yan is like his elder brother, who will take him to play, protect him, treat him very well, he likes and admires him very much.

Yun Chen is dedicated, and always has only one first wife, and the Yun family has only two children. Yun Jing is the first son of the Yun family, and after him, there is only one younger sister. He has always wanted an older brother to love him, but he is He can only love others as an elder brother, so the appearance of Emperor Yan made up for his regrets, made him satisfied, and got used to it...

In the end, this habit, under Emperor Yan's care and love for him day in and day out, gradually turned into a kind of liking, a kind of affection in frequent getting along with him.

Yun Chen frowned, feeling a little disturbed, couldn't help but sighed again from the bottom of his heart, after that, he was silent for a while, and when he spoke again, he turned the topic back to the business and never mentioned anything else.

He calmly analyzed: "Zi Ling's idea is good, but in recent years, due to His Majesty's suspicions, in order to show loyalty, officials who can keep private soldiers have sharply reduced their soldiers and horses to show their innocence. Now all the officials in the capital The total number of soldiers in the government can make up [-]. It can only be used to build momentum and delay the time. If Jing Yu really can't come back on time, we are still in a weak position. If we want to face each other head-on, I am afraid it will be very difficult. Small."

Frowning tightly, Mu Ziling tapped his fingers on the table. He thought about it for a moment, and then said: "If General Xie really can't come back in time, our 3 horses can still hold the capital, as long as we find the right There are not a few examples of using less to win more."

"There is an old saying that ten thousand people use their bows to shoot a single move, and all the moves are hit. Mencius also said that the right time is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the harmony of people. Although they have already occupied the advantage of the place, we can take the advantage of the people and the world." Item, if we can unite as one and destabilize the enemy's army, we will be sure of victory."

After speaking, he immediately turned his head to look at Yun Chen, his eyes were bright, as if he was waiting for his opinion.

For Mu Ziling, Yun Chen admired and liked him, but more than that, he was grateful and grateful for his willingness to sacrifice himself to enter the palace to save and help Yan Wenhao.

But seeing him look like a child now, Yun Chen couldn't help but smile knowingly, looked at him lovingly, then nodded again, agreeing: "You're right, it's true."

After all, Yun Chen turned his head and looked at Yan Wenhao again. He wanted to speak, but he saw that Yan Wenhao was looking at Mu Ziling with gentle eyes all the time, and he was slightly lost in thought. Therefore, what he said in his mouth was really true. No, no, no.

"..."

Can't help coughing lightly, after successfully recalling Yan Wenhao's thoughts, Yun Chen nodded slightly to him, and said in a deep voice: "Hao'er, let me repeat your previous thoughts."

What they have to do now is to scatter the opponent's morale first. Only when the opponent's morale is unstable and unable to unite can they be sure of victory.

——Whether Xie Jingyu can dispatch troops to come back in time.

Right now, they still have today and tomorrow, two days of preparation time.

When it came to business, Yan Wenhao restrained his revealing expression, nodded slightly, thought about his words, and then expressed the thoughts he had just discussed with Yun Chen in the Royal Garden, and this time, he even polished it up a little. Less places make the whole approach sound a lot more refined.

Yun Chen kept nodding, obviously very satisfied.

Yun Jing on the side heard this, and nodded slightly with a smile, but he thought for a while, and then said in doubt: "Hao'er, although your method is good, how can we send this news to their camp? Make them believe it?"

Yan Wenhao hooked the corners of his lips, showing a smile, and said coldly, "Concubine Liang."

Seeing Yunjing's confused look, he paused for a moment, and Yan Wenhao added an explanation: "Concubine Liang, actually, is an informant that Duke Huai has planted in the palace all along, and, before she entered the palace, she had already been with Duke Huai. There is an affair, the person she likes is Duke Huai."

Lu Xi had already left, and there was no outsider in the house at this time, so Yan Wenhao didn't need to worry, so he told Yun Jing everything without any concealment, including the real cause of death of Queen Zhuang back then. He was poisoned.

Yun Jing pursed his lips tightly, a trace of extreme pain flashed across his face, and he became a little pale. He never thought that the sister he loves the most was negligently killed because of him.

It's his reason... It's his fault!

"Hao'er, it's me..." His face turned pale, and he opened his mouth several times, but he couldn't speak because of guilt.

"Uncle."

Yan Wenhao called Yun Jing, and when he saw him look up, he stared into his eyes, and said seriously with a straight face: "The reason for the death of the queen mother is not because of you, uncle, even if it wasn't that time, there will be a next time, Prince Huai He and Concubine Liang are the chief culprits, they are the ones who should make amends, and have nothing to do with you, uncle."

Patting him on the shoulder, Yun Chen concealed the sadness in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Hao'er is right, the fault of this matter is not yours, so why do you need to embrace yourself and fall into the shackles? You and Yun Yao Brotherly love is deep, I think Yunyao is under the Nine Springs, if she has perception, she would not want to see you like this."

"father……"

Yun Jing called softly, his words were full of sadness.

"...Silly boy, it's not your fault." Yun Chen said softly.

Seeing the unconcealable sadness in Yun Chen's eyes, Yun Jing kept his head down and remained silent. When he raised his head again, he had suppressed the guilt and pain on his face, and became extremely stern. He clenched his fists tightly, his face expressionless. With a cold expression on his face, he said: "I will definitely avenge Yunyao, and let the two of them pay the price they deserve—"
