Xiliang, Gaoyang City.

The deputy commander of Liangzhou's military and horses, Ying Sanji, handed the secret letter in his hand to the garrison of Gaoyang City Wu Xin.

After reading the secret letter, Wu Xin asked with confusion, "Deputy Commander, this?"

Ying Sanji looked up at Wu Xin and said lightly: "What? I have been with these gangs of savages for a long time and can't bear to do anything?"

Wu Xin bowed and said, "The deputy commander underestimated me, Wu Xin. To be honest, when the king formed an alliance with Tubo, I was unwilling to do so. It is said that right and wrong with my race, and I must have a different intention. The king formed an alliance with Tubo, which is like a scam with a tiger. But I don't understand why I need to borrow the hands of the people of Bazhou?"

"oh?"

Ying Sanji signaled Wu Xin to burn the secret letter in his hand, and then said, "Since that's the case, why didn't you persuade the king?"

Wu Xin shook his head and said, "Deputy Commander, I, Wu Xin, have the trust of the king, and I will serve the king wholeheartedly. As the king's order is directed, I should move forward. If the king wants to win the world, I will be the vanguard. If the king wants to take Tubo west, I will slay the barbarians. Deputy Commander, I, Wu Xin, is not a former counselor of the king, and all I can do is to do is to do!"

Ying Sanji smiled and said, "What a king's order is just following, Wu Xin, have you ever thought about why the king's will sweep the world back then, so why hasn't he moved?"

Wu Xin thought for a moment and said, "But because Bazhou is under its control, our Liangzhou troops should not attack for forcing them?"

Ying Sanji shook his head gently, looked at Wu Xin and asked, "Wu Xin, if I remember well, you are already forty-eight years now, right?"

Wu Xin nodded and looked at Ying Sanji, who had a gray beard and said, "Deputy Commander, I will remember that you are six years older than me."

Ying Sanji nodded slightly and said, "Wu Xin, for 13 years, you and I have already given birth to Huafa. I pity you and I are in this Gaoyang City, but it seems like a trapped beast in this cage. I was also thinking back then, will we Xiliang people be afraid of him? Do you think I have no resentment in my heart?"

Wu Xin didn't expect Ying Sanji to say this, but just smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything.

Ying Sanji continued: "Since the beginning of the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, Liangzhou has shouldered a mission to resist the invasion of these barbarians in the northwest and ensure the peace of the Great Jin Dynasty. But I was appointed as the deputy commander of the Three Jews. My mission is to look at you in Gaoyang City and those close to Liang City from afar. Now seeing this secret letter from the King, I am very happy. I didn't expect that I would be able to accomplish such a feat with the King in my lifetime."

Wu Xin thought for a moment and asked, "Deputy Commander, isn't it a bit unkind and righteous to do this?"

Ying Sanji smiled and said, "Wu Xin, have you not heard the saying that Ci is not in charge of soldiers? The military strategy says: 'Weapon is a strange way', so it is impossible to show it if you can, but it is not used if you use it, it is far away when you are far away, and it is near when you attack it without preparation, and it is unexpected."

Wu Xin was silent for a moment and said, "What the Deputy Commander said is very good, it is Wu Xin's kindness."

He drew out the long sword and the sword was in front of him. Ying Sanji pointed and stroked the sword. Under the sword light, he was his resolute eyes. The sword danced several ways and returned to the sword to the sheath. "Wu Xin, I longed for a battle. In this first battle, I would like to give the blood of the Tubo people to sacrifice my sword!"

Wu Xin pondered for a moment and said carefully: "Deputy Commander, but this secret letter clearly states that you want to borrow the hands of Bazhou's soldiers. Are you trying?"

Ying Sanji thought, "Wu Xin, it's not that I am not following the king's order, but the king is not in Gaoyang City and does not understand the Tubo people. If we really follow the king's secret letter, you and I will lead a group of people, and the Tubo people themselves will be in charge of their own. I am afraid that these Tubo people may not be able to act according to our plan. If there is a mistake in Bazhou and some people run away, the king's plan will be a mistake."

Wu Xin nodded and said, "What the Deputy Commander said is very much. After the Tubo people came to my Gaoyang City, they were also guarding against you and me. From the location where their troops were stationed, it can be seen that Kumara is not an easy person. Deputy Commander, should I reply to a secret letter to the king last time?"

Ying Sanji nodded and said, "Wu Xin, let's come to Nakumara to come to the city tomorrow and discuss the attack on Jinliang City with him."

Wu Xin nodded and said, "I'll do it now!"

Near Liangcheng, the prince Fan Jiangong sat in the main seat. Feng Yuan, deputy commander of the Bazhou military and horses, who was sitting on the left side of Fan Jiangong, picked up the wine glass and said to everyone: "Everyone, in this battle, we must not only let the Tubo people know the power of our Bazhou people, but also let the people of Liangzhou know that our Bazhou is not easy to mess with."

Ma Yichao, the guardian of Liangcheng near Liangcheng, sat opposite Feng Yuan, bowed to Fan Jiangong, who was sitting in the upper head, and then bowed to Feng Yuan and said, "Your Highness, Deputy Commander, you know that you are raising troops for a thousand days. I, Ma Yichao, waited on the sword every day, and only hoped that one day I could go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and share the worries of the king."

Fan Jiangong nodded and said, "There are Deputy Commander Feng and General Ma in recent years that there will be peace in our Bazhou. Otherwise, even as the King of Xiliang said, if I had not been close to Liangcheng and was ready for battle, I was afraid that the Xiliang army would have taken advantage of the situation and invaded our Bazhou."

Feng Yuan put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "Your Highness is very much. Even if it is his Liangzhou who gave me a big gift from Bazhou this time, we should not take it lightly."

After saying that, Feng Yuan bowed to Fan Jiangong and said, "Your Highness," the battle between the two armies is not a joke, and it is extremely dangerous. I hope your highness can stay near Liangcheng, so that the last general can also dispatch troops.

Fan Jiangong laughed and said, "Director Feng disliked me astray?"

Feng Yuan filled the wine glass again, respected Fan Jiangong, and after drinking it, he said, "Your Highness, you know that the son of a thousand gold is not in the palace. Your Highness has a noble status and does not need to take risks. If your Highness fails, how can I explain to the king?"

At this time, Ma Yichao also stood up and advised: "Your Highness, Deputy Commander Feng is very saying, please rest assured that you will definitely fight beautifully in this battle."

Seeing that both of them advised him, Fan Jiangong sighed and said, "I came to Liangcheng here and wanted to go out to fight, but I don't have the martial arts skills of the waiter. If I go out to meet the enemy, I'm afraid you will still be distracted to take care of me. Well, then I'll be in Liangcheng here and wait for you to win the triumph."

Feng Yuan took the lead in standing up, and the soldiers of His Highness saluted and said, "I will definitely live up to what Your Highness hopes!"

Fan Jiangong came to Liangcheng for less than a month. After the King of Shu discussed with Wei Tiangang, Wei Tiangang secretly went to Yunshang City. Fan Jiangong, who was on duty in the army, volunteered to come to Jinliang City with the King of Shu's secret order.

The eldest son of the King of Shu, Fan Jiangong, was almost aged. In addition to the identity of the prince, he also took the position of a general under Wei Tiangang, and this general was arranged by the King of Shu.

Fan Jiangong, who was interested in studying since childhood, did not understand why the King of Shu made this arrangement, but his younger brother, who was interested in martial arts since childhood, was only the prince of the royal family.

Fan Jiangong's mother was the concubine of the King of Shu, so he, the eldest brother, never had the confidence to be the eldest brother.

After the banquet, Fan Jiangong returned to the bedroom arranged by Feng Yuan for himself. Not long after, Feng Yuan visited him.

After seeing Fan Jiangong, Feng Yuan smiled and said, "Your Highness, are you still used to living here?"

Fan Jiangong nodded and said, "This place is very good, Deputy Coach Feng is intent!"

Feng Yuan looked around and said, "Your Highness doesn't know anything. The palace here was built by the King when he was young. At that time, the King was the Lord of a city near Liangcheng."

Fan Jiangong was stunned and looked up and asked, "Deputy Coach Feng, his father has served as the lord of Jinliang City? Why don't I know about this?"

Feng Yuan sighed: "The king was still very young at that time, even younger than His Highness now, and I am just a commander near Liangcheng."

Fan Jiangong said inexplicably: "Deputy General Feng, why did your father come to Liangcheng here to be the lord of a city? Isn't he the prince?"

Feng Yuan sighed and looked at Fan Jiangong and said, "Your Highness, do you know that the king is the youngest son of the former king. If those two were still alive, your highness should have two uncles."

Fan Jiangong was stunned and said in silence for a moment: "Director Feng is looking for this prince just to look through the old calendar with me?"

Feng Yuan looked at Fan Jiangong with a gloomy expression and said, "Your Highness, my subordinates have received a secret report. A few days ago, the king held a banquet. The young prince was sitting on the throne with the king. Your Highness, you are the eldest prince. I want to tell your noble that in the future, the lord of Bazhou may not be the one in your noble's pocket!"

Fan Jiangong's face was gloomy and looked at Feng Yuan with a calm expression, and asked in a deep voice: "What does Deputy Commander Feng mean to tell me about these things? Could it be that Deputy Commander Feng is willing to support this prince?"

Feng Yuan smiled but said nothing.

Fan Jiangong continued: "Now my father is in his prime, and my prince has made too many plans, which will only make my father dislike it. Is it too early for Deputy Coach Feng to bet on me so early?"

Feng Yuan looked at Fan Jiangong and said lightly: "Your Highness, what I say is unpleasant. Today, Your Highness can sit at the top of the head. What you respect is not Your Highness, but the king of Ziyang City. Your Highness, don't wait until the little highness of the royal palace is really sitting on the throne. You go and tell him that you are the eldest son, and it will be too late by then!"

Fan Jiangong pondered for a moment and said, "What is Vice Commander Feng asking for?"

Feng Yuan stared at Fan Jiangong and was silent for a moment: "Your Highness, I am just a deputy commander after all!"

Fan Jiangong thought about it and sneered: "I thought Deputy General Feng was wholeheartedly considering this prince, and it turned out to be for himself."

Feng Yuan sneered: "Your Highness, people die for money, birds die for food. If your Highness can't even fight for a throne, why should I be loyal to you?"

Fan Jiangong shook his sleeves and said, "Deputy General Feng should leave quickly. I have never seen you tonight. As for the old calendar you mentioned, I will pretend that I have never heard of it."

Speaking of this, he stared at Feng Yuan and said, "I don't want to hear it either!"

Feng Yuan glanced at Fan Jiangong, bowed his hand, and turned around and left.

Fan Jiangong looked at Feng Yuan's back, thoughtful, and then patted him.

Someone heard the sound, Fan Jiangong glanced at the man and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter here?"

The man whispered, "Go back to your highness, news came from Ziyang City that the young prince and the king were sitting on the throne for dinner."

Fan Jiangong nodded and said, "I understand, you go!"

The man disappeared into the night.

Fan Jiangong walked towards the door and looked up at the night sky.
