Yellow sand filled the sky and horse hooves were flying. Xiao Yinchu and Li Xinran led the people and galloped towards the south.

Yesterday, Xiao Yinchu notified Li Song and Peng Qiongyu to the military tent and announced on the spot that the troops would be divided into two groups. He took Li Xinran and Duan Qixing to the south to meet Princess Anyi, while Li Song and Peng Qiongyu continued to Kyoto with their people. march.

As soon as the two groups of soldiers and horses separated, Xiao Yinchu changed his clothes, took Li Xinran and his entourage, mounted a fast horse and galloped towards the south.

Duan Qixing was guarding the camp, handling the military aircraft affairs that should have belonged to Xiao Yinchu. As he watched, Duan Qixing couldn't help but laugh in a low voice: "You little bastard, you are just as bad as your father."

Xiao Yinchu and Li Xinran left alone not because of love. As Xiao Yinchu said, only Xiao Yinchu, Li Xinran and Duan Qixing knew about the crown prince. Duan Qixing has always been the main force in the battle. If he disappears suddenly, it will inevitably happen. It has aroused the suspicion of most people. At this time, if anyone is interested in investigating, there is no guarantee that the crown prince will be exposed.

Taking Li Xinran with him was to prevent and restrict Li Song and his son.

Among the generals still alive today, there are only three capable generals, Duan Qixing, the Zhenguo general, Kang Haoyi, the Zhenbian Wang, and the Li family father and son, Li Song and Peng Qiongyu.

Duan Qi The only two people left who could still lead troops were Li Song and Peng Qiongyu, the father and son of the Li family.

Peng Qiongyu is not Li Song’s biological son. So far, Li Song only has one biological daughter, Li Xinran. After so many years at the border, Li Yang has found concubines, but Li Song is still alone, which shows that this person does not value beauty. , and his biological daughter who grew up beside him must be very important to him. Taking away Li Xinran is equivalent to taking away Li Song's weakness.

Of course, if Li Song is a very ambitious person, he may be able to ignore the life and death of his own daughter for the sake of the throne, but according to Xiao Yinchu's observation, Li Song cannot do this, so the interests and security are higher. The choice is that Xiao Yinchu takes Li Xinran with him, and then asks Li Song and Peng Qiongyu to send troops together, with Duan Qixing following them as a guarantee.

After all, if Li Song and Peng Qiongyu were separated, Xiao Yinchu would not be sure whether the two of them could check and balance each other.

Li Xinran also knew this very well, but this did not make her disgusted. Calculations based on safeguarding one's own interests and not harming others were acceptable. What Li Xinran could not accept was not calculations, but the kind of self-interest at the expense of others. A plan that uses other people's sincerity as amusement.

Li Xinran knew the stakes of the crown prince's matter in her heart, and also knew that Xiao Yinchu's doing this was the best choice. However, she believed in her father. Not to mention that her father didn't want to rebel, even if he wanted to rebel, he would not choose this place. Planting time.

The emperor's grandson held the banner of righteousness, and the sages and soldiers from all walks of life responded all because of the benevolence of the late prince and because of his experience. The common ruler of the world has long been the aspiration of the people. At this time, because her father had some military power in his hands, If you want to raise a flag to rebel, who will follow you?

It's just a joke.

The two people, who had their own thoughts, looked at each other on horseback and smiled, and speeded up in unison.

……

In Li Song's camp, Peng Qiongyu was also discussing this matter with Li Song: "Dad, why do you think the emperor and his grandsons are marching separately?"

"Because it's faster to divide the two ends, and something must have happened to Princess Anyi." Li Song lowered his head and looked at the battle report from the front line, analyzing the situation.

"Then why did you take your sister away? I also want her to help me explore. And I'm not worried about her being a little girl alone with the emperor and grandson."

Li Song looked at the battle report and didn't want to pay attention to his stupid son: "It's because you have this idea that they took your sister away."

"Why..." Peng Qiongyu was halfway through complaining when he suddenly realized and stopped, "They don't trust us! Why are they like this, dad..."

Li Song sighed and put down the battle report: "If you have nothing to do, go and train. If you don't want to train, just follow the advance team to check for intelligence."

In short, don't bother me here.

Peng Qiongyu hesitated to speak, sighed heavily, turned and left.

Li Song looked at the battle report in his hand and suddenly lost the desire to read it. He also sighed silently. It was the same in the court. Leaders did not trust their ministers. The ministers racked their brains to make the superiors trust them. People's hearts The calculation of people's hearts has never changed.

Maybe he should really retreat, Li Song thought to himself. Two strong generals in one family would indeed make the superiors afraid.

Doesn’t this time illustrate the problem?If only Qiong Yu led the troops this time, maybe Xinran would not be taken away by Xiao Yinchu.

This time when things are over, he should retreat, Li Song thought to himself.Find a husband for your daughter. With her father's military exploits and her brother as her backer, that person will not dare to treat her daughter badly. When the time comes, she can raise flowers and trees, and her life will be quite comfortable.

"You have reached the age where you know your destiny." Li Song looked at the blue sky outside the tent and sighed.

……

The news that Xiao Yinchu had conquered another city reached Kyoto, which did not make Emperor Hui of Chu angry, but the atmosphere in the court became more and more depressing to the point where everyone was trembling with fear.

Emperor Hui of Chu sat in the shadows on the high platform. This was once the most dazzling position.

"My dear friends, don't keep your heads down. Come on, let's talk about how to resist the traitors?" Emperor Chu Hui chuckled lightly, his voice was not high, but it was icy.

In the past, one or two people could speak eloquently, and could even bring down their political opponents with just one mouthful. Now, they are as silent as if they were made of wood carvings.

"Say it!" Emperor Chu Hui slapped the table and shouted.

"Wow!" Everyone in the hall fell to their knees: "Please, Your Majesty, please calm down."

Well, only this time it's loud and uniform.

Emperor Hui of Chu glanced at all the ministers below, and suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his heart. There used to be people here who conquered the world for him. At that time, wherever there was a war, the direct faction would always win a great victory. .

later……

Later, he was worried that they would be too greedy and attempt to rebel, so he eliminated most of them early, and filled the court with "his own people". No matter how knowledgeable he was, as long as he could gain the trust of Emperor Hui of Chu, he would be the leader from then on. All the way.

But this also has a consequence, that is, if something really happens, none of these nice talkers will be able to use it.

"Go back to my father, I have my own memorial."
