[Not only a surprise attack, the Ninth Prince is also negotiating with the Imperial Guards to persuade them to surrender? ]
The Queen looked around as usual, and even though she knew that Jun Baozhu was around, all the palace people automatically left.
Only when the secret guard quietly showed up did the queen feel completely relieved.
The emperor looked serious and listened to Jun Baozhu's thoughts, which continued to be heard.
[Although Prince Cheng is dead, his confidants and private soldiers total 20,000, and the Pingxi Army has 100,000. Although the Ninth Prince's brother used poison powder to injure many of them, there are still at least 100,000.]
[But Brother Ninth Prince, not counting those defending the city, there are only two hundred guards and ten thousand imperial guards from the scattered soldiers drawn from ten counties.]
[The two sides fought, and only 8,000 people were left. ]
[After suffering losses previously, many troops were injured by fireworks and firecrackers mixed with powder, which slowed down the war...]
[General of the Pingxi Army, although loyal to Prince Cheng, he was calm enough. After Prince Cheng's death, he did not forget to make plans...]
[These few days have not been a chance for the Ninth Prince to catch his breath. Although, he may have sent people to find out that the people in the county are being relocated...]
[He was equipping his own army. All soldiers were equipped with masks that covered their mouths, noses, and necks, leaving only their eyes exposed.]
[Under the armor, they all wore long coats and long pants, and the hems were all tied with ropes...]
[Whether attacking from close range or from the air, they will not be affected by the powder and their attack power will not be damaged for the time being. ]
[After the secret guards got close to the area, they found out the information and reported it to the Ninth Prince? ]
[So, the Ninth Prince considered these two methods? ]
[The Pingxi Army is almost fully equipped. Once the internal situation calms down, will they launch another attack? ]
[If we fight head-on, Brother Ninth Prince knows that the Imperial Army can't hold out for less than a month when the medicine powder has almost no effect. Will Dong Zhaojun come to support them? ]
Jun Baozhu couldn't hide her worry on her face. She asked the system:
[When does the Ninth Prince plan to launch a surprise attack? Who will he send? Is it safe? ]
When she heard the system's answer, she cried out in her heart.
【What?! He goes alone? 】
[How can this be possible?!]
The emperor sat up immediately, surprised and worried, and started coughing again.
The Queen held Jun Baozhu in her arms, asked Concubine Li to go outside, and asked the palace servants to invite the Prince over.
The prince knew that the Queen must have something important to tell him at this time, so he came extra quickly.
The emperor just calmed down, and together with the queen, they looked at Jun Baozhu...
Therefore, the prince just bowed and sat quietly aside without saying anything.
Jun Baozhu had calmed down a little from her shock and was listening to the detailed information revealed by the system.
After listening to it, I realized that the prince had arrived.
[Brother Crown Prince! Please save Brother Ninth Prince! ]
Jun Baozhu's eyes were in a panic, and she asked for help:
[The Ninth Prince intends to personally lead his men to launch a surprise attack while the Pingxi Army is unprepared!]
[However, the Pingxi Army was not only equipped with face towels and long sleeves, so the powder was useless, but also prepared many bows and arrows, many of which were heavy bows! ]
When the imperial guards set out, they only carried swords, and the skirmishers defending the city only had ordinary bows and arrows, and the number of arrows was not enough.
After listening to the system's description, Jun Baozhu was originally panicked, but for some reason, when she saw the Crown Prince and his calm and composed face, her heart seemed to gradually calm down.
The emperor coughed and then spoke, asking the prince what he thought.
The prince thought for a moment and said, “There is a huge disparity in numbers, so there will be no problem if Ninth Brother does this.
The problem is, he shouldn't have gone there in person.
In case of any accidents, without a leader, the imperial guards would be on guard, which would make the situation worse.
I think my ninth brother is also very clear about this point..."
The emperor nodded, and suddenly realized that perhaps it was because he had stayed in bed for too long, tempted the great witch doctor to bring him disappointment, and had to face a series of court problems afterwards...
Now that he has learned of the tragic death of the fifth prince, he still has such a resolute attitude, causing the emperor to lose his calm judgment...
Looking at the calm prince in front of him, the emperor knew how much he cared about Xiaojiu, but in the face of major events, he was still able to remain calm and take in the whole picture...
The emperor was extremely grateful for his decision to give up power in time.
Seeing the emperor nod, the prince continued his analysis:
"From the previous few incidents, and seeing how Ninth Brother handled them, I actually discovered that Ninth Brother was more able to keep his composure than we had originally imagined.
But at this time, knowing the risk of losing his commander, he still insisted on doing this. I think he has his own plans. "
The emperor and empress both nodded slightly, but even so, they could not hide their worry.
The prince comforted him, "The secret guards sent by your son will save your life even in the worst case scenario.
Father, Mother, please trust me this time."
After hearing what the Crown Prince said, the Emperor and the Empress felt a little relieved, but their brows were still furrowed.
After the prince left, Jun Baozhu immediately revealed everything he had done through her mind.
[Brother Crown Prince, send someone to rush eight hundred miles to call upon the two thousand men that Zheng Zhuo had trained and brought out personally in Baoen Temple? ]
[The Zhenbei Army provides horses, and if we ride as fast as possible, can we reach the front line in ten days? ]
Even the emperor was stunned when he heard it.
After hearing the system's comprehensive analysis and comments on the Crown Prince, Jun Baozhu could not hide her pride.
[Right? The prince is so awesome! ]
[Recruiting these two thousand people, even if it is to recruit the Zhenbei Army's horses, will not affect the Zhenbei Army's strength for the time being. ]
[At present, the Zhenbei Army is mainly defensive, and horses are not used. Even if the Dragon and Tiger Kingdom intends to attack, the Lion Kingdom's beast taming skills will not be able to help the Dragon and Tiger Kingdom's horses? ]
【Oh! That’s great! The prince is so awesome! 】
[With horses, these two thousand people can arrive in ten days. The pressure on the Ninth Prince will be much less! ]
[Brother Crown Prince also sent someone to write a letter to inform Brother Ninth Prince of the arrangements? 】
[These 9,000 men were trained by Zheng Zhuo himself. Their quality is even better than that of the Zhenbei Army? ]
[With their help, we can definitely help the Ninth Prince! ]
[But, Ninth Prince Brother still plans to go into battle himself tonight? ]
Hearing the system's answer, Jun Baozhu's eyes flickered, and there was no smile at the corners of his lips...
The last bit of hope for the emperor and the queen was shattered.
After the prince finished his work, he went to the Yangxin Palace for dinner. In addition to reporting his arrangements to the emperor, he also wanted to follow the progress of the front line from Jun Baozhu.
Although he believed that the Ninth Prince had his own plans for doing this...
But war is cruel, and the Pingxi Army is large in number and well-armed. The prince can persuade the emperor and the empress to relax and prevent the emperor's weak body from getting worse due to worry...
But how can he allay the worries in his heart?
After dinner, after the prince had sat with her for an hour and a half, Jun Baozhu suddenly turned pale.
The emperor's burst of inner thoughts made him cough violently until he coughed up blood.
Concubine Li had no choice but to give the emperor acupuncture to make him fall asleep.
When I turned around, I found that the queen was hugging Jun Baozhu tightly, her eyes were red.
