There was no wind at night, and the weather was quite hot. In the elegant side room, Xuanyuan Shengcai was wearing a light blue long gown and holding a bowl of iced lotus seed porridge in his hand. When the middle-aged man entered the side room, Xuanyuan Shengcai put down the porridge bowl, got up to meet him, bowed and smiled: "Mr. Huang, is the journey hard, can you have a good journey?"

The middle-aged Minister Huang glanced around. There was no one in the side hall. There was an oil lamp lit, and the lights were bright. He bowed and said, "General Xuanyuan, I haven't seen him for a long time, and he still has the same style!"

Xuanyuan Sheng winked and signaled the soldier who led the way to retreat. When the soldier retreated, he looked at Mr. Huang. Perhaps the weather was too stuffy and some sweat appeared on the head of Mr. Huang. Xuanyuan Sheng shouted, "Come here!"

A maid soon appeared outside the door, and Xuanyuan Sheng ordered: "Another bowl of lotus seed porridge!"

Mr. Huang hurriedly said, "General Xuanyuan is welcome!"

"Sir, please sit down!" Xuanyuan Shengcai signaled to Sir, Huang to sit down, and then smiled and said, "Sir, are you from Hexi?"

However, Mr. Huang showed a look of alertness, looked around, and then said softly: "That's it!"

"Don't worry, there is no one here, it's okay to say something." Xuanyuan Sheng smiled and said, "I have seen the token of Xiaodao. Is it my cousin who asked you to come?"

Mr. Huang said: "Reply to the general's words, it is actually the common meaning of the prince and commander Xuanyuan."

"Crown Prince?" Xuanyuan Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Master, can you be safe?"

However, Wang Xuanyuan Shengcai, the minister Huang, came to the side and whispered: "General, it is really convenient to speak here? I have a secret matter to discuss with the general!"

Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "You came in through the back door and brought the token of the knife again. I know there must be a secret matter. This place is very secret and there will be no problem."

"That's true, I can tell the truth." Huang Shilang sighed: "It's true that the emperor has passed away. Now all the military and political affairs in Hexi are handled by His Royal Highness!"

Xuanyuan Sheng suddenly changed color, his mouth twitched, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has passed away, are you kidding?"

"How dare I joke about such a big thing?" Huang Shilang said solemnly: "The general doesn't know that the emperor held a birthday ceremony in Hexi. Feng Yuan broke his plan to rebel, and the emperor died when he was assassinated!"

"Feng Yuanpo killed the emperor?" Xuanyuan Sheng then clenched his fists, and his eyes showed anger.

Mr. Huang shook his head and said, "The matter is very complicated, but Feng Yuanpo has been killed now, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also taken charge of Hexi and stabilized the situation in Hexi!"

"How can the prince be in Hexi?" Xuanyuan Shengcai frowned and said, "I heard that the emperor is on the northern tour and the prince stayed in the capital and how did he go to Hexi?"

"Don't the general know that the capital has fallen, and His Highness the Crown Prince has withdrawn from the capital and gone to Hexi?"

Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "So that's it. The emperor died. In this way, the prince will inherit the throne soon?" He leaned forward and stared at Mr. Huang's eyes: "The prince sent you to the northwest to find me, what are the instructions?"

"Since the general saw Xiaodao, he naturally understood the meaning." Huang Shilang whispered: "When General Xuanyuan sent me to come, he told me that as long as the general saw Xiaodao, he would know that I was on behalf of him."

Xuanyuan Sheng had already picked up the knife on the table, stared at the knife, and whispered: "Yes, this is the token that I made an appointment with him back then. Seeing things is like seeing people. At the beginning, I came to the northwest with Chu Huan, and I also left Beijing to experience it. The most important thing is to be by Chu Huan's side and monitor Chu Huan's every move."

When Mr. Huang heard this, his eyebrows stretched out and he chuckled, "The general lie on firewood and tastes gall, and he is in the tiger's den, and is both wise and brave. It is really admirable. Now that the general is in charge of Jiazhou, it seems that he has gained Chu Huan's trust!"

"Don't talk about these." Xuanyuan Shengcai looked calm and waved his hand, "Speak up, my cousin asked you to come to see me, what's the matter? But what important things are there to give?"

Mr. Huang hesitated for a moment, but at this moment he heard footsteps outside. The maid had appeared outside the door with a tray. Xuanyuan Sheng signaled to come in. The maid placed a bowl of lotus seed porridge on the desk next to Mr. Huang. Xuanyuan Shengcai ordered: "You go down first. No one should come in without the instructions of this general!"

The maid agreed and stepped back. Xuanyuan Shengcai then raised his hand and said, "Mr. Huang, thank you all the hard way, drink a bowl of porridge first to relieve the heat. The night is long, let's talk slowly!"

Mr. Huang picked up the bowl of porridge, and perhaps he felt really stuffy. After drinking half of the bowl in a few sips, he put it down. He took out a black silk cutlet from his cuff, wiped it, and then said: "General, the northwest is short of food now. It is probably not easy to drink such a bowl of iced lotus seed porridge, right?"

"Xigu Pass was blocked, cutting off trade between the northwest and the inner city." Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "As far as I know, the New Salt Administration transported a large amount of new salt into the inner city a while ago, preparing to exchange food from the inner city. However, after the Xigu Pass was blocked, even if the New Salt Administration raised a large amount of food and grass in the inner city, it would be difficult for him to get out of the inner city."

Mr. Huang smiled and said, "I came from Xigu Pass and saw the situation there. I was blocking the pass and wanted to reach the northwest for more than ten miles. Da Xizhang was ordered to block Xigu Pass, and if he grabbed the throat of the northwest, he would not have to use any weapons, the northwest would be exhausted."

Xuanyuan Shengcai frowned and said, "Shilarious Minister Huang, what is the intention of the prince to block Xigu Pass? Is it necessary to attack the northwest?"

"Don't the general know that Chu Huan suddenly appeared in the Heavenly Palace during the ceremony of worshiping the heavens, and took the Empress to escape from Hexi." Huang Shilang said softly: "The prince has ordered the arrest of Chu Huan. This man is like Feng Yuan's defeat. He is a rebel thief of my Great Qin. If he escapes back to the northwest, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, the prince ordered the blockade of Xigu Pass early, which was to cut off his way back, and to beware of him if he really escapes back to the northwest, not only can he pinch his throat, but also can prevent the Northwest Army from entering the pass." His voice was lowered, and he leaned forward, asking: "General Xuanyuan, do you have news about Chu Huan here, has this man returned to the northwest?"

Xuanyuan Sheng shook his head and said, "I didn't hear that he had returned to the northwest. However, the prince blocked Xigu Pass, and the famine in the northwest will be even worse. Now, many places in the northwest have starved to death due to food shortage. If this pass is blocked, there will be more people who will die next!"

"Those who plan major events do not care about minor matters." Huang Shilang said: "Your Highness the Crown Prince wants to quell the rebellion, and at this time, you must use some extraordinary means." After a pause, he said: "General, I'm here this time, I guess you have guessed a little bit."

"I don't know if what I think is accurate." Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "Please let Lord Huang make it clear!"

Mr. Huang said: "Your Highness's meaning is to let the general raise an army in Kezhou, causing turmoil in the northwest. If possible, control the northwest."

Xuanyuan Shengcai frowned and said, "Do you know that there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the northwest, and only a few thousand soldiers in the Jiazhou. Even if I am ordered to do it, how can these just a few thousand soldiers and horses achieve great things?"

Mr. Huang smiled and said, "Chu Huan failed to return to the northwest. Now the northwest is a leader. As long as the banner of His Highness is displayed, His Highness will have an edict to inform the northwest that Chu Huan is ruling, and then the northwest will inevitably be a mess and a mess. Moreover, although Chu Huan defeated Xiao Huanzhang and Zhu Lingyue, he was unable to completely control the entire northwest. Xiao Huanzhang and Zhu Lingyue must have remnants of the activities, and these people will inevitably rise up with the waves." He raised his hand and stroked his green beard, "and Chu Huan implemented the equal-field order in the northwest, which hurt the interests of many gentry and gentry and gentry. If the northwest is really in chaos, these gentry and gentry will inevitably rise up and resist Chu Huan."

Xuanyuan Shengcai leaned on the chair, put his hands on his chest, pondered slightly, and said, "The military power in the northwest is in the hands of Chu Huan's righteous brother Pei Ji. Most of the generals in the army are promoted by Chu Huan. Pei Ji has outstanding talents. Even if Chu Huan is not in the northwest, this person can stabilize the situation."

"The prince received news that Chu Huan had incorporated the Beishan Army and Tianshan Army in the northwest and carried out military reforms. Although there were tens of thousands of soldiers in the northwest, they had not yet condensed into a group." Huang Shilang said: "This is the best time. If the general can control the northwest, it is naturally the best. Even if he can't control it, as long as he disrupts the northwest and makes the northwest mess, he has no time to care about it. Then the prince can concentrate on quelling other rebellions first and come back to clean up the northwest."

Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "The prince's meaning is to ask me to raise an army in Kazakhstan, first control Kazakhstan, and cause chaos in the northwest?"

"That's true." Huang Shilang said: "Northwest seems calm now, but the prince expected that as long as the general raises his troops, the northwest will soon be divided. Even if Pei Ji is Chu Huan's brother, Pei Ji is Pei Ji and Chu Huan is Chu Huan. If Chu Huan is there, some people may be afraid. Chu Huan's whereabouts are unknown. The prince said that no one can stabilize the situation in the northwest except Chu Huan."

Xuanyuan Shengcai nodded slightly and said softly: "What the prince said is somewhat reasonable. The Northwest Army was reorganized, and the Pingxi Army was reorganized into Zhenxi Army. Whether it was generals or soldiers, they were not just Xiguan soldiers, but the soldiers in Beishan and Tianshan were also under organization. The factions were clear. If Chu Huan was there, everyone would not dare to do anything randomly, but without Chu Huan, Pei Ji would probably be unable to suppress all the generals."

"That's right." Huang Shilang whispered: "So now is a great opportunity. And as long as the general controls Jiazhou, he will be able to advance and retreat freely. There are thousands of soldiers and horses on the Xigu Pass, and he can handle the general at any time!"
