Han Chen frowned when he saw Han Huang playing around, picked up the cup on the table, took a sip of tea, breathed out the fragrance of orchid, leaned on the chair with his tired body, closed his eyes and rested, and Dou Yifeng was also in a suitable position.

He came up behind Han Chen and stretched out his lush green fingers to massage Han Chen's temples to relax his mind.

After half a stick of incense, Zhang Liang, Xiao He, and Yu Qian came over. The three of them looked exhausted. After all, they had to deal with three piles of bamboo baskets of government orders every day. Even they were a bit overwhelmed, not to mention some of the government orders.

The prince also needs to check it. If the kicked-out strategy is not up to standard, he has to give it back to everyone and come up with new plans. Often these are nothing. Articles that have been corrected by the prince's office have to be sent to Wang Meng for review. It doesn't work.

They have to go back and make new plans. Now the Prince's Mansion has become a small court. Almost all non-state affairs are theirs. They call it a practice.

"Meet the Crown Prince!" Zhang Liang and the others bowed to Han Chen and said with solemn expressions.

"Well!" Han Chen slowly opened his eyes, looked at the three of them and said, "My father has given permission to take action against the third child, and I have got the things. I'll leave the rest to you!"

After Han Chen finished speaking, he took out a wooden box from his arms and threw it to the three of them. Yu Qian reached out to take it, glanced up and down, and said for a long time: "That's it! The overall situation can be decided! I'll start now!"

"Wait a minute!" Han Chen took a deep breath, stopped the impatient Yu Qian, rubbed his hands in disbelief, and said for a long time: "Father wants to make an expedition to the north this time! The emperor will conquer it himself."

"That's right!" Yu Qian bowed his hands and bowed his hands towards Han Chen. Zhang Liang and Xiao He looked at each other and agreed.

"But! Father wants to take Han Huang with him! I want to hear the opinions of the three of you!" As Han Chen said this, he glanced up and down from the corner of his eyes, taking in the three people's eyes.

"Absolutely not!" Xiao He was the first to say something to stop him, with a somewhat frightened expression on his face: "If something unexpected happens in the Northern Expedition, the foundation of the Prince's Mansion will be shaken, it's absolutely not okay!"

Zhang Liang was calm at the moment, sitting steadily in his position without saying a word, stroking his goatee, as if thinking about Han Yi's intentions.

Han Chen looked at Zhang Liang, who was deep in thought, and finally fixed his gaze on Yu Qian, asking: "Yan Yi, what do you think?"

"I think it's time to go!" Yu Qian stroked his beard with a deep expression. Although his words did not agree with Han Chen's thoughts, he believed that this matter was beneficial to the country and should be used.

One agreed and the other objected. Han Chen looked at the herbal tea on the table, glanced in the direction of Han Huang for a moment, turned his back to Zhang Liang and said: "Zifang! What do you say!"

"I think there are pros and cons for your grandson to go or not to go!" Zhang Liang said truthfully, with his hands in his sleeves and his face as indifferent as water.

"You...are you not stirring up trouble?" Yu Qian heard Zhang Liang's words and spoke directly. Zhang Liang did not retort, but smiled calmly and waited for Han Chen to ask questions.

"explain!"

"No! My grandson is safe and well, but the flowers in the greenhouse have not experienced wind and rain and cannot withstand the wind and waves. The troubles suffered by the Xiongnu are not the result of one generation. Your Majesty and Lord may be able to support the prince, but

Even though a divine turtle has a long life, let alone a human being!" Zhang Liang's words were rather vague, but everyone understood what he meant.

"continue!"

"Go! It is indeed extremely dangerous, but the king's ministers are like rain, and the fierce generals are like clouds. As long as the king is safe, the grandson will naturally be fine. Besides, there are three benefits here. Once His Highness is demoted to Zhongnan County, the royal family in the country will inevitably

Everyone is in danger. If the grandson is sent up at this moment, it can divert everyone's attention. It can also praise the prince and think that he is selfless. Secondly, when the grandson returns from the Northern Expedition, it will only increase the affinity of the prince's palace in the army.

, which will help the prince ascend the throne and control the army in the future. Although the king pretends to be training his grandson, he is actually paving the way for the prince. What about the third time? Only by practicing more can the grandson stand out among the kings and grandsons. After all, the king is spreading his wings.

"Ye, your highnesses all have heirs. If you can't conquer the crowd, how can you convince them!" Zhang Liang stroked his beard, picked up the teacup on the cup and took a sip, looking at Dou Yifang aside, without saying anything.

He agreed, but didn't say no, but kicked the ball back to Han Chen again.

Han Chen fumbled with the beard on his chin, thinking about it in his mind. He shook his head slightly for a while, and said with a helpless expression: "Zifang, zifang! Although you didn't say it, but after analyzing the two sides, you think

Let Han Huang go!"

Zhang Liang lowered his head at this moment and drank the tea in his hand. He didn't take Han Chen's words and just sat quietly like this. Han Chen was helpless and said after a while: "Go!"

"Your Highness...I...!" When Dou Yifang heard that Han Chen was making up his mind, he was still worried. However, Han Chen reached out and patted Dou Yifang: "Relax! Don't be afraid! Let Mu Ying

Select several hundred Xuanhu Army officers from the mansion and accompany them to protect Han Huang."

"Alas...!" Dou Yifang couldn't let go either. Taking advantage of this juncture, he went back to his parents' home and asked several brothers to enlist in the army.

Han Chen stretched and said for a while: "In half a month, I will go south to Changsha County to recruit Quan Cong's troops. It may take a few more days. After all, Quan Cong's surrender represents not only him, but

In the south, there will be mountains and forests surging, and domestic affairs will be left to you!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will fight until Biwan's death!" The three of them quickly stood up and handed over their hands. To them, Han Ning now had most of his arms removed and could not withstand a series of beatings.

Xiangping City

Wei Qing's 400,000-strong army was ready to go. He stared at Xiangping City in front of him. He looked at the deputy general Murong Ke beside him and said: "General, you used to guard Xiangping City! How do you take it back now? You see what you will do!"

"

Murong Ke was stunned for a moment, carefully recalled the movements of Xiangping City, and said after a while: "Use a catapult to hit the corners on the edge of the West City. There was a crack somewhere. When I wanted to repair it, the craftsmen said that I would build this

The crack required re-eradicating the walls on both sides, and the crack required heavy objects to crack it, so I didn’t think much about it at the time and didn’t build it!”

"Oh!" Wei Qing's eyes shone, looking at the green grass gradually showing on the ground, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and he waved immediately.

"Prepare the catapult!" Lan Yu, wearing a blue armor, appeared in the ice and snow, with a cold look in his eyes. The wheels of the subsequent catapult made a creaking sound, crushing the broken snow on the ground into

water block.

Li Guangbi, who was on the city wall, gradually became more serious. Quan Su also swallowed his saliva, with an extremely serious look on his face. He pointed at the catapult that was gradually emerging in the army and asked in confusion: "This...this...what is this?"

!”

"Catapult! The weapon of the Central Plains people to attack the city." Li Guangbi swallowed his saliva. Ever since the decisive battle with Han Yi, Li Guangbi had been studying the history of the Central Plains. Looking at the siege vehicle in front of him, Li Guangbi was thinking all the time,

How to crack this siege weapon? After a long while, Li Guangbi pressed the sword in his arms and shouted angrily: "Prepare firebolts!"

"Yes!" Quan Su responded and trotted all the way to the heavy crossbow. The surrounding soldiers lit torches for the fire crossbow to add warmth to this cold world.

"Let go!" The military flag in Lan Yu's hand waved suddenly, and the soldiers under his command hit the trigger with wooden hammers, and they could only hear: "Bump, bump, bump"

Hundreds of triggers were struck, and countless flowstones were thrown towards Xiangping City. Boom, boom, boom, many flowstones fell down without getting close to the city wall. They were still about twenty meters away, and landed on the ground, shaking countless others.

of snow soil.

Lan Yu narrowed her eyes and immediately shouted angrily: "The whole army moves forward twenty meters! Hurry!"

"River!" The soldiers in the catapult kept stretching forward. Li Guangbi narrowed his eyes, immediately waved the command flag in his hand, and shouted angrily: "Let go!"

"Swish, swish... swish, swish!" Firebolts all over the sky were heading straight towards the catapult. Only a few scattered screams were heard, and only dozens of crossbow arrows hit Lan Yu's catapult.

.

Wei Qing naturally discovered the problem and immediately shouted angrily: "Where is Gao Xiayu!"

"The last general is here!" I saw a partial general, holding a silver spear and urging his horse to the front of Wei Qing's army.

Wei Qing took out a command flag and issued an order: "You lead the three thousand troops of your headquarters to form a defensive formation to protect the catapults from the heavy crossbows in the city!"

"promise!"

After receiving the order, Gao Xiayu immediately urged his horses and mobilized his soldiers. Thousands of people began to surge on the battlefield, using shields to defend themselves against the enemy.

Li Guangbi naturally noticed the change in the battlefield, frowned, and immediately shouted angrily: "Raise the angle of the firebolt and shoot upward! Quick!"

"The whole army attacks. Don't give the enemy a chance to breathe. Slaughter the dog as the vanguard. Generals Ma Wu and Ma Cheng will lead the charge. Hurry!" Wei Qing squinted his eyes and looked at the enemy who were gradually resisting. Since he wants to fight,

Then we must not give the enemy a chance to breathe.

"Kill" The dark soldiers continued to charge towards Xiangping, and the whole of Xiangping was enveloped in the cry of killing.

"Murong Ke!" Wei Qing glanced at Murong Ke beside him, his face serious.

"exist!"

"Go find Lan Yu and tell him the location you just mentioned! He knows what to do!" Wei Qing pressed the bronze sword in his arms, stared at the battlefield in front of him, and frowned slightly.

Because the unification has only been five or six years ago, the country is developing internal affairs, and the uniforms and ordnance of the army have not yet been fully popularized. At present, most of Han Yi's soldiers and horses use newly developed iron armor and iron swords, which are harder than

Bronze swords are more powerful, and because armaments are not widely available, Wei Qing's direct troops still use bronze swords and bronze armor. Although the defensive power is not as good as iron armor, it is much better than the leather armor of the grassland. As for the soldiers under Li Shimin

, the generals all use bronze armor, and the soldiers all use leather armor. There is no way, Li Shimin is also poor.

As the number of people in the country increases year by year, the limited land cannot feed the unlimited people. For this reason, Li Shimin was able to expand the territory. Although there are many mountains and mountains in the country, they are unable to mine at all because of their unskilled foundation.

and smelting, so that the Korean Peninsula ruled by Li Shimin did not have enough foundation to develop the treasures inside.

Murong Ke rode his horse to the side of Lan Yu's catapult troops, and said solemnly: "General Lan Yu! There is a crack in the corner of the west city wall. General Wei Qing wants you to use the catapult to blow it open!"

Lan Yu pressed the weapon in her arms, staring at Murong Ke with tiger eyes, watching the firebolts being fired continuously, her face was as dark as water and she said: "Where is it!

"The connection between the west city wall and the north city wall!" Murong Ke was afraid that Lan Yu would not understand the direction, so he pointed out the direction specifically for him.

"Bump!" Another firebolt hit Lan Yu's cheek. The black smoke made Lan Yu almost unable to open her eyes. Lan Yu looked back at dusk, looking at the arrows that kept coming from the sky.

Leng Jian said angrily: "Grandma, General, lead the way! Yu Jin!"

"The general is here!" Yu Jin rode his war horse with a solemn expression. His dark face glanced at the battle situation, and his originally dark face turned a little darker.

"Stabilize the situation! I'm going to blow up the city wall!" Lan Yu threw the flag in his hand to Yu Jin, then patted Murong Ke. The two of them rode war horses, led hundreds of people, and found ten catapults close to the gap.

Entering the city wall, Murong Ke narrowed his eyes and looked at the city wall carefully. Lan Yu held up the helmet that almost covered his eyeballs, pointed at the gap in the middle and said, "Is that the one?"

"Whoosh whoosh!" Several heavy crossbow attacks came, Murong Ke pressed Lan Yu's shoulders, and the two of them buried their heads on the ground at the same time.

"Bump!" The ground behind him exploded instantly, and two heavy crossbows hit the ground. Then they stopped talking, and there was a slight trembling sound from the tail.

"That's it! Just hit that one!" Murong Ke spat out the sand in his mouth, with a cruel look in his eyes.

"The shield hand defends, the slinger aims at the position! Quick!" Lan Yu pulled out the iron sword in his arms and called on the soldiers on both sides to gather together, gradually covering the condensed military formation, and guarding against the enemy on the city wall.

"put!"

"Boom, boom, boom!" The three experimental stones were thrown high into the sky, and all they could hear was: "Bump, bump, bump!"

It was smashed down one meter away from the gap, and the rubble kept sliding down the wall. Tang Bi, who was guarding the city wall, changed his expression drastically. He hurriedly saw the enemy troops on the wall and shouted angrily: "Aim at the catapult in front and set fire to it.

The crossbow is fast!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

"Damn it!" Lan Yu's eyes were blazing, and she shouted angrily: "Advance the catapult half a meter forward, five people hit the wall, five people blast the wall, suppress the enemy's firepower, hurry!"

"Bang, bang, bang!" As the battle situation changed, Tang Bi's firepower was gradually suppressed. The soldiers on both sides were constantly concentrated by the flying rocks, causing wolves to howl everywhere. If they spread out from both sides, they fired at Lan Yu's location.

The crossbow arrows were too far away to hit him.

Li Guangbi's eyes turned red. Looking at the soldiers who were constantly wounded, Li Guangbi immediately shouted angrily: "Soldiers! Stop...!"
