Chapter 249: The Imperial Army Besieged the City, and the New Emperor Was Ambushed and Drowned

said last time, Dingyi Marquis Zhao Shu never thought that his concubine Zhao Jing would suddenly launch a coup d'état and imprison himself, along with his three sons-in-law and five concubines. And, on the same day, he ascended the throne and became the emperor, changed the year name to the first year of the great throne conferred by heaven, divided hundreds of officials, and celebrated.

It's just that when the news of Zhao Jing's proclamation of the emperor was transmitted outside the city, Jiang Qian, the general of the left army of the Andong Army, and Feng Zhongguo, the general of the right army, who were ready to attack Dingyifu City again, were in disbelief. Is this Zhao Jing a madman? His country has already perished, and he still wants to be the emperor.

"What's going on?" Le Changhou and Bai Chang, the generalissimo of the Hutao Army, who suddenly walked into the tent, walked in, looked at the two military talents in front of him, and asked suspiciously.

Jiang Qian and Feng Zhongguo looked at the white-haired Bai Chang in front of them, and they admired this generalissimo who was loyal to the empire, but was framed three times and twice, and was imprisoned, but never changed his will, they admired it very much, and now although he was named the Marquis of Lechang by His Majesty, and was awarded the post of generalissimo of the Hutao Army, but this generalissimo was extremely angry because some people in his family defected to the enemy and treason, so that he tied himself up and asked the local Lechang Mansion Yin Li Shunyi to punish him, and as a result, this Li Mansion Yin had already examined the sins of those criminals in his family, and did not involve this generalissimo。

However, this generalissimo, who has been upright all his life and has done his best to the empire, has been haunted by this matter, so much so that when he heard the battle report of the Andong army's attack on the Tobu Empire, he knew that with only one Andong army's troops, he would never be able to eat this piece of fat and oily fat, so he would definitely use the surrounding forces, so he immediately ordered the entire Hutao army, which was training day and night, to stop training immediately and wait for orders.

He knew that the wisdom of the emperor was extremely trusting of these generals, which was why he wrote to the scum of the family to ask for guilt. And he knew that if he let the previous emperors know, he was afraid that he would have to go to prison again! However, when the emperor was different, although he was oppressed by the ministers and oppressed by the major forces, he had been in obscurity until he regained his rights in one fell swoop eighteen years ago, and directly rehabilitated Zhaoxue, an old man who had been in prison for nine years, and also let him serve as the generalissimo of the Hu Tao Army again, and at the same time personally apologized to himself for those mediocre emperors who did not care about His Majesty, he actually admired this emperor very much since he followed His Majesty to fight everywhere, and he believed that under the rule of this emperor, the Chitang Empire would definitely dominate the world。

Sure enough, His Majesty soon passed the order to him, and he immediately led the army, and quickly traveled overnight, finally arriving in front of the city of Dingyifu.

Because he had just arrived, he didn't figure out the situation for a while, and his three sons had already led his scouts to investigate the city's defenses!

When Jiang Qian heard this old handsome's question, he immediately replied: "Old handsome, it's like this, Zhao Jing, the son of Zhao Shu, the Marquis of Dingyi, imprisoned his father, and actually became the emperor, and changed the era name to the era name of the Great Cause. ”

Bai Chang stopped, with a hint of mockery on his old face, and he said lightly: "It's just a madman, you have been fighting for so many days, you should also find out the defense situation in the city!"

Feng Zhongguo, who was on the side, immediately replied: "Old Shuai, indeed, we have figured it out, but after all, the enemy defenders have reached more than 800,000, and there are too many young and middle-aged people in the city, so they are not short of troops at all, especially this city still has a large number of grain and grass reserves, so it will not be able to capture this city for a while." ”

However, Bai Chang, the veteran general of the battlefield, was extremely calm, he looked at the two young generals in front of him, both of them were loyal and good, this Jiang Qian's father Qin Yihou, Dushui Supervisor Zheng Jiang Shouqian is a generation of civil ministers, and this Marquis of Tai Xiang, the father of Feng Zhongguo, the general of the right army of the Andong Army, is the grandson of Feng Pengcheng, the marquis of Dingbian and the generalissimo of the Zhendong Army, who was once killed by the Lin family in Youbei Province, but seeing that these young descendants can grow up and become the pillars of the empire under the teaching of His Majesty, he is really happy for the empire. However, these two boys are still too young! He said lightly: "I heard that you have used the method of besieging the city before, but it didn't work, right?"

Jiang Qian immediately said: "Yes, old handsome, we have used it, but this Zhao Shu is not fooled at all." ”

"You two tell Ben Shuai about the siege of the city these days. Bai Chang immediately asked.

Jiang Qian and Feng Zhongguo immediately informed the old marshal in front of him about the siege of the city these days, one hundred and fifty, without omission, and Bai Chang listened carefully, and looked at the sand table from time to time, after thinking about it, his eyes were aimed at the Cuizhu Road, which was one hundred and fifty miles south of Dingyifu City, and the bamboo forest was densely packed, and there were many rolling hills in the bamboo forest, which could be ambushed. He said directly: "Tomorrow, our whole army will attack this Dingyi Mansion City with all our might, but we will make the attack at the south gate a little lighter. ”

Jiang Qian asked suspiciously: "Old Shuai, why? Do you use the same method of besieging the city again? But will they be fooled?"

Bai Chang slowly explained: "In such a clear knowing that the general trend has gone, and still thinking about imprisoning his father to seize the throne and ascending the throne in vain, must be a person who has been blinded by power, he definitely does not want to defend this city, so as long as there is a glimmer of life out of the city, then he will definitely do his best to break through." Originally, his father wanted to talk to us about the conditions by holding on to the city. However, this Zhao Shu never thought that this Zhao Jing under his command would want to be the emperor so much. Zhao Jing's move will also make Zhao Jing fall soon. Therefore, we just need to make them feel that our strength is slightly weaker at the south gate. And since this Zhao Jing is the emperor, as long as he starts on the first day of ascending the throne, he will think about the second, third, and fourth days...... As an emperor for countless days, he is not the emperor of our empire, His Majesty who regards imperial power as a floating cloud, and regards the people of the world as more important than imperial power. Therefore, as long as there is a glimmer of opportunity, he will break through. And as long as we break through, our chance will come. ”

Bai Chang paused, and then he pointed to Cuizhu Dao and said, "Look, Cuizhu Dao seems to be difficult to ambush people, but you see, with such a dense bamboo forest and such a rolling hill to hide, it is completely suitable for hiding a large number of troops. The enemy, on the other hand, will be paralyzed by the terrain here. I'm even sure that the emperor, Zhao Jing, would even set up camp here. Why? Because there is an abundance of water. However, the clear water river, which provided them with water, was winding and circling in their path. They don't want to think that if we take the upper reaches and block the river, they will be the first to cross the river when our ambush begins. At that time, we will directly let go of the river, which is already surging, and such a large water will directly drown its entire army. In this way, we can annihilate them all at the least cost. ”

Jiang Qian and Feng Zhongguo looked at the old marshal in front of them, they only felt that it was too poisonous, the old marshal deserved to be a veteran on the battlefield, but this was a battlefield, either you died or I lived, so they immediately agreed.

In the next few days, the Hutao Army and the Left and Right Armies of the Andong Army attacked Dingyifu City with all their might, and Zhao Jing, who had just been proclaimed emperor, naturally did not want to be a short-lived emperor. During the siege of the city in these days, he suddenly found that the enemy's attack on the south gate seemed to be lighter, so he hastily concluded that the enemy attack at the south gate was weak. He immediately personally led nearly 600,000 troops to attack the south gate in an attempt to break through.

As a result, Zhao Jing didn't expect that the enemy at the South Gate seemed to be really weak! It really allowed the army led by him to break through the encirclement. As for his father and brothers who were imprisoned by him, as well as those younger brothers, he didn't care about their lives or deaths. Anyway, according to his father's perseverance these days, resulting in casualties among the troops of the Chitang Empire, the Chitang Empire will definitely not let him go.

However, Zhao Jing didn't know that when he went, he went directly to a dead end.

After Zhao Jing led the army to break through the siege, the defenders in the city were no longer able to support it, so they opened the city gate and let the Red Tang Empire troops enter. Originally, they thought that the Red Tang Empire army, which had paid heavy casualties, would definitely slaughter the city. However, when the people in Dingyifu City saw the well-disciplined and innocent army of the Chitang Empire, they began to thoroughly support the Chitang Empire army.

As for Dingyi Marquis Zhao Shu, after they were rescued by the Red Tang Empire's army, they also knew that they no longer had the qualifications to negotiate conditions, so they surrendered directly. And they were soon escorted to the capital.

As for Zhao Jing, who was leading an army of 600,000 at the moment, he really walked to Cuizhu Road and set up camp.

That night, a large campfire broke out. Subsequently, the ambush soldiers were exhausted, and Zhao Jing didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he fled in a hurry. However, when they fled to the Qingshui River, they suddenly heard only a "boom" sound, and a turbulent stream of water suddenly flowed down, and the result was unfortunate, Zhao Jing was drowned directly because he was not proficient in water! His way of dying as an emperor was really peculiar, and when the soldiers of the Red Tang Empire salvaged his swelling body from the river, Bai Chang, Jiang Qian, and Feng Zhongguo did not even look at it, and directly ordered him to be buried.

With the capture of Dingyifu City, a large amount of land and houses left behind by the wealthy families in Dingyifu City, who had fled with Zhao Jing, were divided by the Chitang Empire to the landless or landless poor people in Dingyifu City. As a result, the people of the entire Dingyi City are like the New Year.

If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
