Episode 10 Chapter 308


Chapter 308 Inside Nishiyu Castle.

Urged by the Dark Arrow personnel, Li Dan decided to enter the palace that night to find Li Hong and look for an opportunity to steal the warrant.

There was nothing to say during the day, and that night, Li Dan went to the palace as planned.

He was the crown prince of Zhenguo, and he could enter and leave the palace as if he were going back to his own home, without being notified by the guards, and could come and go at will.

He inquired about the palace maid below, and learned that Li Hong had not slept yet, and was still in the study, so he turned his mind, first went to the dining room, and asked the palace maid inside to prepare a few plates of side dishes that Li Hong liked to eat, and then prepare a few pots of good wine, which he personally carried and went to the study.

Hearing that Li Dan had arrived, Li Hong was not surprised, even if he didn't come, Li Hong planned to send someone to find him.

The current situation is extremely unoptimistic about Zhenguo, millions of enemy troops besiege Xitang, once the city is broken, not only will he be finished, Zhenguo will also be destroyed, there are many things he still needs to explain to Li Dan, it is really not good, he would rather fight for his own life, but also have to cover Li Dan to break out, leave a bloodline for the royal family of Zhenguo, and let Zhenguo be maintained.

He asked Li Dan to be invited in.

The latter entered the study, first saluted, then stepped forward, slowly put the tray containing wine and food on the table, and said softly: "I heard that my father has not rested yet, and my son specially asked people to prepare some wine and food. ” Li Hong smiled, beckoned to Li Dan, and asked him to sit beside him.

Li Hong has a total of twenty-four sons, his favorite is the eldest son Li Dan, the latter did not disappoint him, since he was a child, smart and clever, knowledgeable, well-versed in ancient and modern, as a prince, not arrogant or impatient, and never bullied, everyone praised his loyalty, benevolence and righteousness.

"Dan'er entered the palace late at night, but she had something to find her father" "I'm worried that my father will work for the state, so I'm here to visit."

As he spoke, he put the wine and food on the tray on the table one by one, and said: "These are all things that my father likes to eat, and my son accompanies my father to eat and drink."

"Okay" Li Hong nodded with a smile, but looking at the table full of dishes, he didn't have any appetite at all.

He picked up Li Dan's full wine glass, tilted his head, and drank the wine in the glass.

Then he poured himself a drink, drank three cups in a row, and then stopped and asked Li Dan: "Dan'er, do you think we can hold the capital this time?"

That's too hard, and there's basically no chance of success Li Dan thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say so.

He said with a smile: "Father, don't worry, the capital is well defended, and there are more than 300,000 elite soldiers guarding it, even if the enemy has a million troops, it is not so easy to break the capital." ” Li Hong smiled bitterly in his heart and said: "It is difficult for the coalition forces to capture the capital for a while, but if we adopt the tactics of besieging but not attacking, what should we do?"

Zhenguo's food reserves have always been small, even if the capital is in the west of the soup, the food in the city is only enough for March, and when March passes, the city will run out of food, and then I am afraid that there will be no coalition forces to attack, and the capital will have to be trapped to death.

Li Dan didn't understand this truth, he said with a smile: "Father, don't forget, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops in the western part of our country, as long as the central army in the west returns to save the capital, the coalition army will definitely be defeated." ” Li Hong shook his head and said worriedly: "Father is afraid that the central army in the west will not be able to return to the capital, and will be intercepted and killed by the Sichuan-Mo coalition army halfway."

The coalition army is not only this wave outside Xitang City, but also a wave of Sichuan-Mo coalition forces with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.

This is also the reason why Li Dan thinks that the capital is difficult to preserve.

Hearing his father's words, Li Dan's eyes rolled, and he realized that the opportunity had come, and he said: "Erchen thinks that the enemy is strong and I am weak, so we must not fight with the enemy; The enemy army has logistics to replenish food and grass, and now the capital is a trapped isolated city, so the war must not drag on for too long, only for now, there is only one way to work, while the coalition forces are not firmly established outside the city, our side adopts the tactic of sneak attack at night" As he spoke, he stood up, took two steps back, then knelt on one knee, intervened and said: "Father, my son is willing to lead a death squad to sneak out of the city tonight to attack the enemy camp, surprise and attack it unprepared, this battle, Erchen is confident that he can succeed with one blow."

Li Dan can sit in the position of the prince for so long, safe and sound, and his mind is by no means simple.

He is also worried that once he steals the token, if the matter is revealed or the city gate is not opened, he can't explain the past, even if he is the prince, with the suspicion of collaborating with the enemy, it is difficult to protect the head, now he takes the initiative to ask Ying to fight, if Li Hong agrees, the token will naturally get in hand, if he is not allowed, he will steal again, even if he is exposed, he does not have to be afraid, he can use the excuse that he is going to go out of the city to sneak attack the enemy camp, although the means are suspected of bullying the king, but the original intention is good, it is out of loyalty to the country, and the father will not blame himself, The ministers could not impeach him, so to speak, his seemingly improvised invitation to fight was actually a well-thought-out way to kill two birds with one stone, and it was also an insurance policy for what he was going to do next.

Li Dan is indeed very smart, but unfortunately his intelligence was not used on how to deal with the coalition army, but on his father.

Li Hong is a rough man, how can he know what the hell Li Dan is thinking in his heart.

Hearing that he was willing to personally go out of the city to attack the enemy camp, Li Hong was very moved.

Many people say that although Li Dan is talented, his force is too weak, and his temperament also has the cowardice of a scholar, but when today's enemy is present, Li Dan is willing to fight to the death with the enemy regardless of the danger of his life, which is what a scholar can do Li Hong showed a relieved smile on his face, stood up, pulled Li Dan up, and said meaningfully: "Dan'er is a dignified prince, the king in the future, how can he personally experience the things that charge into battle?"

"But" Li Hong's refusal was already expected by Li Dan, but he still pretended to be unwilling.

Li Hong waved his hand and said, "Needless to say, tonight, you can't go anywhere, so stay in the palace to drink with your father, and our father and son haven't drunk at the same table for a long time." ” Li Dan sighed as if he was disappointed, and then said smoothly: "Okay" As he spoke, he raised his wine glass with both hands and said, "Erchen respects his father."

Li Hong did not hesitate, drank the wine glass, and drank the wine in the cup.

The two fathers and sons pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and soon drank the few pots of wine brought by Li Dan.

Without Li Dan to speak, Li Hong, who had a rare and somewhat cheerful temperament in the past few days, became very interested, and asked people to serve several more pots of spirits and continue to drink with Li Dan.

In fact, Li Hong's alcohol consumption is good, but because of the depression in his heart, he got drunk quickly, and when he and Li Dan drank the sixth pot of wine, they began to sit still on the collapse, their bodies kept swaying from side to side, their eyes were hazy, their eyes were dull, and their tongues were big when they spoke.

"Dan'er's father feels that this time he is afraid that he will be unable to escape the catastrophe for his father's life and is not afraid of death, and there is already a father among the mountains of corpses on the battlefield, and the father is the most worried about you, but you don't have to be afraid, before the coalition forces break the city, your father will definitely find a way to cover you to break out of the encirclement, and then revive my majesty in the future."

It's the so-called drunken spit out the truth.

Li Hong's words moved Li Dan very much, and he was even more determined, he must not fight to the death with the coalition army, surrender is the only way out, only in this way can he save Zhenguo, and only in this way can he save his father, even if in the future, when the Son of Heaven asks for sin, he is willing to go on behalf of his father and die on behalf of his father.

"Father, you are drunk, your son will send you back to the palace to rest" As he spoke, Li Dan helped Li Hong up and walked out of the study.

The palace maids and guards on the left and right wanted to step forward to help, Li Dan glared at everyone angrily, and shouted in a deep voice: "You all get out" He is the crown prince, how dare others offend, one by one they lowered their heads in fright, and retreated again and again.

Li Dan helped Li Hong to walk to the dormitory, and the palace maids and guards followed from a distance.

There was almost no need to deliberately hide his movements, Li Dan just casually swiped his hand on his father's waist, and then took the token hanging on the jade belt in his hand, and then naturally put it in his arms.

Not to mention that the palace maids and guards in the back didn't see his small movements, and even if they did, no one dared to say half a word.

Li Hong was also unaware, and said indistinctly as he walked: "Dan'er has made up his mind for his father, and he would rather die in battle than sit idly by, because his father wants to go out of the city and fight to the death with the enemy, in addition, he also plans to send two generals, Gauss and Lin Ning, to escort you to break through."

Both of them are fierce generals in a million, and they have the main force to contain the enemy army for their father, and it is not difficult for you to break through from the other side."

"Yes, yes, yes, my father said yes," Li Dan nodded again and again.

Sending Li Hong back to the dormitory, Li Dan subconsciously touched the token in his arms, then took a deep breath and strode towards the outside of the palace.

After leaving the palace and getting into the carriage, he immediately rushed back to his son's mansion.

At this time, there were more than a dozen Zhenguo generals in armor gathered in the lobby of Gongzi's mansion, these generals all belonged to the princelings, and they were all Li Dan's confidants.

They were clear about Li Dan's plan, and people were restless and anxious in the lobby.

Now people's feelings are very complicated, that is, they hope that Li Dan will succeed, but they also hope that he will not succeed.

No one is not afraid of death, Zhenren is no exception, with the current situation of Zhenguo, there is only one way to die in a hard battle with the coalition army, and these princeling generals do not want to fight with the coalition army again, and finally be Li Hong's funeral sacrifice.

However, it is risky to welcome the coalition army into the city, and it is also a great risk, success is good, once it fails, not only will it be difficult to save the lives of yourself and the whole family, even if you die, you will be infamous and become a sinner of Zhenguo.

It's a gamble from heaven to hell, and it's understandable how tense and complicated people are.

Hearing that the subordinates of the Childe's Mansion reported that the Childe had returned, all the generals were shocked, and they all stood up and looked out of the hall with their eyes.

With the sound of hurried footsteps, Li Dan walked quickly into the lobby.

Seeing him, all the generals asked in unison: "Does Childe have a token":
