Lonely non-good minister

These words immediately stuck in Emperor Hong Ming's heart.

The emperors of the Wei dynasty all succeeded to the throne by killing, and the transfer of the throne was a process of fratricide. Even now, the judgments of the emperors of the Wei Dynasty by the sharp pens of historians still cannot get rid of the eight cases of regicide, brother murder, and fratricide. Emperor Hongming naturally did not want the same infamy to appear on Song Chun.

That was the heir that he had devoted all his efforts to cultivate, and he should be flawless.

"My son should sit on the throne with dignity." Emperor Hong Ming said, and looked at the great witch Zhiyan meaningfully.

He knew that the great witch Zhiyan understood what he meant.

The great witch Zhiyan nodded slightly and stopped beating around the bush with him.

Shanggu, the coach's office.

Across the courtyard wall, the rough chatter of the soldiers outside could still be clearly heard. The second sister-in-law stood under the courtyard wall and listened carefully for a while, her face full of sadness. Song Run's whereabouts were unknown. She did not find out who ordered these soldiers. , I only know that these people said that there was chaos outside and were ordered to protect the coach's family, so a large number of people came and directly surrounded the mansion, and the people in the mansion were not allowed to come in and out at will, as if they were imprisoned.

Although I knew that these people did not dare to act recklessly, but with their children and daughter in this war-torn place, and Song Run's whereabouts were unknown, she, a woman, was still in a panic.

"Princess." The maid beside her hurried over.

The second sister-in-law quickly asked: "Have the things been delivered?"

Beijing and Zhao were too far away, and she had no acquaintances in Zhongshan. Now she could only place her hope on Song Bin and the Shen family in Yuyang, so she wrote a letter to arrange for someone to send it out.

The maid shook her head: "They searched very strictly, even the female family members would be searched, and things could not be taken out at all. However, the slave girl got a piece of news. The people besieging the mansion now are the subordinates of General Wang who suppressed the mutiny, not those who caused the mutiny. Guys."

"At this time, what's the difference between suppressing the mutiny and those who started the mutiny? It's nothing more than a reason to stir up trouble. Besieging us is just an excuse for him to save his life. If things don't work out, at least he has this achievement to show off. , and besides, when the prince comes back, we can use this as a test to claim credit." The second sister-in-law still saw the situation very clearly.

The conversation outside was louder, with thick accents saying words she couldn't understand, but she could tell from the tone that they didn't mean anything good.

When she returned to the back house, several young children ran over. Although the second sister-in-law repeatedly told the waiters not to talk about outside matters to the children, they could notice that the atmosphere in the house had become so uneasy.

"Mother, when will father come back?"

Their little faces were full of panic, and the second sister-in-law hugged them, not knowing how to comfort them.

"Princess." The maid rushed in from outside: "There is good news."

A group of mourning female relatives hurriedly looked at her, and the second sister-in-law asked eagerly: "Is there any news about the prince?"

At this time, Song Run is their backbone.

"No, Old Liu Tou, who works in the kitchen, went to buy vegetables and heard a definite news. He said that the Fifth Master had sent forward General Zhou with [-] cavalry across the border. Now they have arrived at the border." The second sister-in-law was lost for a moment. Confirm again: "But General Zhou Yezhou?"

"Yes."

The second sister-in-law felt more at ease. She had met Zhou Ye twice and heard Song Run talk about him. She was barely an acquaintance.

The nanny next to me murmured: "Three thousand cavalry, I'm afraid it won't be able to do anything if they arrive."

These words made everyone feel uncomfortable.

"General Zhou came with firearms." The maid emphasized: "They said they were blocked by the Huns on the way. They fought all the way without any casualties."

How could the women know what kind of firearms they had? It was the second sister-in-law who said, "I heard from the prince that firearms are extremely powerful. The fifth master used firearms to defeat the provocative Huns. That's why the Huns moved from the northwest to the north. If three thousand cavalrymen all carry firearms, the Xiongnu outside the country will definitely be afraid."

"But what about the territory?" People around him were still worried: "The Fifth Master is the commander-in-chief of the northwest. He can send people to frighten the Huns, but he cannot control the soldiers and horses within the territory."

The second sister-in-law stopped talking. She didn't know this either. Although she had gained a lot of knowledge with Song Run and had some understanding of things in the army, she was really at a loss to face such a situation.

"I just hope that General Zhou can find the prince as soon as possible." She sighed, and secretly prayed in her heart: "We have to find a way to get in touch with General Zhou."

Zhou Ye arrived so quickly that not only the Xiongnu, who were watching eagerly from abroad, were caught off guard, but also the northern army within the country. The general responsible for resisting the Xiongnu contacted Zhou Ye immediately and proposed that Zhou Ye be temporarily incorporated into the northern army to facilitate unified command. Zhou Ye was reject.

They belong to the northwest army. Even if they come to the upper valley, they cannot be integrated into the northern army and listen to their command. Firstly, the regulations of the northern army are chaotic and these people's command ability is not high. After being integrated, they are likely to lose their own attack power. Secondly, Once they are incorporated, the firearms they bring will definitely be scattered. Even if they are not scattered, they will be pushed to the front as scapegoats.

Therefore, Zhou Ye is more willing to act alone.

His refusal to obey the unified command made several generals who were originally from the northwest involved in military affairs in the north very unhappy. They refused their request to enter the camp. Zhou Ye was not in a hurry and arranged for people to set up camp not far away. Daily arrangements The cavalry team went to look for Song Run.

According to the information he had, the incident occurred while Song Run was patrolling the border. There were not many soldiers following him, so he would never cross the border. Since he would not cross the border, how could he be attacked by the Huns?
Maybe the Hun attack was just a cover.

Zhou Ye carefully studied the situation and environment in the northern border, and after conducting several deductions, he came to a conclusion.

The attack Song Run encountered was not from the Xiongnu, but from within the northern army. If these people couldn't kill Song Run in one go, they would definitely force him out of the border. Once he lived outside the border, they could kill people with borrowed knives. Therefore, along the border Line search is the most promising.

He arranged for a small team of cavalry to go out to search every day, but there was no movement in the northern army camp. Since their arrival, the Huns were afraid of firearms and never provoked them again. The northern army had no countermeasures, and everything fell silent.

Just looking at this reaction, Zhou Ye was glad that he had not agreed to join the northern army. It was such a good time to gather an army to push back the Huns. What was the point of letting the Huns stay on the border?Is it possible that you can wait until others figure out your bottom line and then fight back?
Knowing that the northern army was now unreliable, Zhou Ye became even more vigilant. The battlefield was dangerous, and even his comrades in one camp were unreliable. Therefore, he not only had to beware of Xiongnu raids, but also had to beware of someone in the northern army causing mischief.
