The Prodigal Son of the Mystical Sect

Seeing this, several ministers who were concerned about life frowned, but Concubine Si used her sweet words to make a fuss about Zhao Hai's young age. At the same time, she also said that she was "just listening to the opinions of all the adults. Nothing arbitrary.”

Because time was tight and what she said was reasonable, although the ministers who cared about the order felt that this move was somewhat inappropriate, they did not say anything after all. They saw an old man with a gray beard take the lead and shouted: "Your Highness! The scout found out There is an unknown cavalry galloping towards our Zhao capital! It is very likely that it is the enemy. Please make a decision as soon as possible, Your Highness!"

Hearing the sound, Zhao Hai, the young man with a round face and a yellow robe who was sitting at the highest position, asked in a calm voice: "How many people are there in the enemy army?"

"This..." The old man pondered for a moment after hearing this, then showed an expression of disbelief and said, "The scouts have inquired about... this army, the number is about three thousand..."

"Three thousand people?"

After these words fell, the whole place was in an uproar!

"There are still more than 20,000 defenders in the Zhao capital city! But the invading enemy only has 3,000 people? This... the art of war says that if you are surrounded by ten, there are 3,000 people... Could it be that there are reinforcements behind you?"

This was everyone's question, but the old man sighed: "No! The scouts only discovered this enemy army. According to my inference, they are probably a surprise attack force..."

"Surprise attack?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Hai's voice turned angry, "Whose business is this? How could three thousand people be allowed to lurk here?"

"Your Highness, you will temporarily suspend your thunderous wrath... This group of enemy troops probably broke into pieces before secretly breaking through our multiple blockades... According to the general's estimation, this surprise attack army should have been more numerous, but The remaining people, because of the dangerous move of the army commander, They can't return to the team! Now, they are rushing towards the Zhao capital, probably out of desperation. They want to take advantage of the night attack and take a chance! But they don't expect that even if our Zhao capital is empty, there are enough scouts. Their actions have been exposed. There is no chance of success, Your Highness, don’t worry!”

A third-rate general who stayed behind in Zhaodu thought for a while and then stepped out and said.

Hearing what he said was clear-cut, most of the people in the room thought it was reasonable. The old man even stroked his beard and said: "General Sima's words are reasonable. I deeply believe that... Since the enemy has been exposed, we will stand firm and wait for reinforcements." , let them return in defeat.”

Hearing this, before anyone else in the room could speak, Zhao Hai suddenly stood up and said loudly: "No!"

"This palace believes that this is a God-given opportunity. We might as well send out troops to fight to defeat this surprise attack for my father, and prevent them from diverting and harming our country, Zhao Jinxiu!"

The more Zhao Hai said, the more excited he became in his eyes!

The so-called supervising the country, in fact, most people have the mentality of not seeking merit but seeking no faults... But Zhao Hai is different. He is a child prodigy of Zhao. He has amazing talents since he was a child. He prides himself on himself and is extremely arrogant. This time he was ordered to supervise the country. He not only wants to be 'no fault', but also wants to be 'meritorious'!

Great work!

In this way, he can pave the way for him to enter the East Palace in the future!

Of course, his words were somewhat instigated by his biological mother, Concubine Si - just listen to her voice transmission - "Hai'er, did you know that on the day of your emperor's triumphal return, you will have a new concubine? That woman's background and beauty are comparable to those of her mother-in-law! When she enters the palace, the situation in the palace will be different... So Hai'er, you have to grow up quickly, make more contributions, and cultivate your own direct lineage, so that you can be talented in the future. No worries!”

Zhao Hai had heard Concubine Si's words before, but he was still young. Facing his older brothers, he was at a huge disadvantage in competing for credit. Since he was in prison, he had not had much chance to show off...

But things are different now.

An army of only three thousand people dared to attack the capital of Zhao? This is simply a credit to your doorstep!

"Hai'er, you are the prisoner of the country and you should guard the city. It's not a big contribution... My mother and concubine can tell you that your brothers went with your father on the expedition and made a lot of contributions in the army. , If this continues... Hey, Hai'er, my mother and concubine are all relying on you, so you have to work hard!"

These words reached Zhao Hai's ears through sound transmission, making him even more determined!

He was determined, but after hearing these words, the faces of several ministers who cared about life turned pale with fright. They hurriedly came forward and kowtowed: "Your Highness, no! No! Zhao is the capital of our country. It is of great importance and must not be allowed." If anything goes wrong! Going out into the city is too risky. If something goes wrong, how will your Highness explain it to His Majesty? "

Hearing this, Zhao Hai suddenly showed an angry look on his face - these days, he has long been fed up with these old guys who always bring up 'Your Majesty' to suppress him - he has his own unique way of handling political affairs on weekdays. If you think about it, these old guys will all say "Your Highness" He was still young and inexperienced, and rejected it... After several times in a row, he felt more and more that he, the prison country, was no different from a stamped puppet... After enduring it for so long, it was easy to 'pinch a soft persimmon' to vent his anger. , this group of people actually raised objections...

At this time, Zhao Hai couldn't bear it anymore and spoke out all his opinions at once: "I thought that this enemy army came from afar and attacked here. It has become a tired army, and because a large number of troops have been separated, The morale is low, and it is at its weakest moment. The number is only three thousand, and it is obvious that it cannot compete with our powerful army of Zhao!"

His eyes coldly swept over the people kneeling on the ground, and he hummed softly: "What's more, soldiers are deceitful! Even if you all think that we should hold on to the city, then the other party will definitely think so too! So, We will do the opposite and send out troops to kill everyone. We will catch them by surprise and win a complete victory!"

"Thinking back then, my father did just that! In the battle of King Liancheng of Northern Frontier, my father ignored the opposition of his advisers and did not defend the strong city. Instead, he sent troops to attack the enemy army by surprise. Finally, he defeated 5,000 Tang invaders with 800 light cavalry and killed several Tang generals! This opened up the situation in Northern Frontier!"

"Eight hundred can defeat 5,000, not to mention that the opponent only has 3,000, while we have 20,000!"

"It is said that a tiger father will not have a dog son! What my father could do back then, I, Zhao Hai, can do today!"

"I have made up my mind! Where are Generals Sima Ban and Li Zhao?!"

...

...

A few hours later.

It was late at night, but the Zhao Palace was brightly lit.

Unlike the nervousness and frustration of the ministers below, the face of Concubine Si behind the curtain was full of complacency and excitement, and was full of "yearning" for power...

When I looked carefully, there was no trace of Zhao Hai here.

In addition, there was only one left among those third-rate generals.

"Your Majesty, I still feel that this is inappropriate! Since ancient times, sons of wealthy families have not been allowed to sit in the hall, not to mention that your Highness's body is even more valuable than a millionaire? As the regent, you don't defend the city and govern the internal affairs, but want to lead the army to conquer... It's simply ridiculous!"
