Chapter 197: The coalition forces are suspicious
Just as he was thinking wildly, he only heard the noise in front of him, Liu Hao hurriedly reined in his horse, and as soon as he stopped, he saw many forbidden troops pouring out of the streets and alleys to surround him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Jiang Tianzhi, the leader of the forbidden army, rushed out of the crowd with a steel knife in his hand, and put the steel knife on Liu Hao's neck without saying anything, and said sharply: "Liu Hao thief, dereliction of duty in defending the city, so that the monarch fell into the hands of the enemy, today I will dispose of you for the empress!" ”
When Liu Hao heard this, he sneered. I already know in my heart that this is the first complaint of the wicked!
It is not good for the forbidden army to protect the monarch, and they are afraid of taking responsibility and pull themselves in, if they take advantage of the chaos to kill themselves, when the queen mother comes, there is no proof of death, they can say whatever they want. Pity yourself for doing your best on the battlefield, and you can encounter this kind of thing just after returning to the city?
It's just that Liu Hao didn't have a powerful entourage at this time, and it seems that today, he is going to die in the hands of his own people for no apparent reason!
He sighed: "I have been loyal for decades, but I ended up like this, providence!" Just as he was about to lead his neck and wait for death, he suddenly heard the war drums rumbling to the west of the city, and when he looked up, he saw smoke and dust, and it seemed that a large group of men and horses had entered the city. Everyone stayed there for a while, thinking that the Qi army had broken through the West City Gate.
After a while, he rode a fast horse here, and turned over and dismounted to report: "General, the Queen Mother has arrived with 30,000 forbidden troops." ”
……
In the blue night sky, the crescent moon has not yet risen, and only Chang Gengxing hangs high alone, and the light is cold and sharp.
In the gloomy twilight, a little light appeared in the camp of the Qi army built on the mountain, like a golden light piercing the vastness of the dark night. At the door of the tent in the middle of the camp, two one-man high torches were burning red, illuminating the surroundings as if it were day.
The guards at the door of the tent bowed their heads and stepped aside, making way for a path paved with scarlet felt that led to the tent. Fuyue stepped on the felt into the big tent, in the big tent with a width of more than ten zhang, hundreds of officials were neatly lined up on both sides, the civil officials had a stern demeanor, the military attache was strong and strong, and the expression was serious, and there was no salivation and the color of the eyebrows.
Zhao Yuan raised his eyes and saw Fu Yue walk into the tent, and beckoned him to stand beside him.
At this time, in the middle of the handsome tent, there was a young man with a soft posture in gold armor, who fell from such a high city wall and was kicked by Sun Fen, and his ribs were probably broken.
He covered his side with his hands, his face pale from the pain, and in order not to let out a painful moan, he bit his lower lip tightly, and the place where his teeth were pressed was already blue.
Zhao Yuan sneered in his heart: "The people who grew up in the fat powder pile still have a bit of blood left. Then he said to him: "The person kneeling below is Wei Wen, the monarch of the country? ”
After hearing this, Wei Wen wanted to struggle to get up, but the severe pain in his ribs was unbearable, and he couldn't stand, so he had to stalk his neck and glared angrily at Zhao Yuan.
Seeing that he was so rude, Fu Yue shouted on the side: "Bold, how dare a person who has lost the army be disrespectful to the emperor of the Great Qi State?" ”
Wei Wen gritted his teeth and said, "If it weren't for the use of tricks, the outcome would be unpredictable!" ”
Fuyue was about to have a seizure, and as soon as Zhao Yuan raised his hand, he immediately retreated to the side.
Hearing that Wei Wen could say the whole thing and react normally, he knew that he would not be able to die for a while, so it was enough, so Zhao Yuan ignored him and called the military medical officer to instruct: "Carry him out and take care of him carefully, and take strict care." The medical officer took the order, brought the tow frame, and sent Wei Wen out.
After Wei Wen left, Zhao Yuan looked at the civil and military officials in the account and said: "Now that the monarch of Wei Guo has been captured, how to use this card, do you Aiqing have a high opinion?" ”
Sun Fen stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Wei Wen will write an edict of submission, and I will take this edict to recruit surrender, if the defenders dare not open the city gate, it will be a great rebellion." ”
Zhao Yuan nodded after hearing this, but did not speak.
At this time, Cui Qi came out and said: "What General Sun said is quite reasonable. However, we also have to guard against the unexpected. He paused for a moment, and then said: "The real power of defending the country is in the hands of the Empress Dowager Fu and her relatives, and Wei Wen is just a puppet set up by them. "Now that Wei Wen has been captured, Empress Dowager Fu can completely issue an order to abolish Wei Wen and set up a young man in the clan as the emperor, so that Wei Wen's capture will have no impact on Wei Guo and the Fu family."
The situation Cui Qi said was exactly what Zhao Yuan was worried about, and Empress Dowager Fu's attitude determined the direction of the future battle. But how can the attitude of the Queen Mother Fu be glimpsed?
Zhao Yuan said to the guards beside him: "Is there a battle report on the situation in the north and south of the country?" ”
The guard said: "On the Holy Gift, half an hour ago, there was a report from the Malay, and there were soldiers and horses in the north and south of the country, and about 50,000 people each approached Guze City. In addition, it is reported that Empress Dowager Fu personally led 30,000 forbidden troops into Guze City from the West Gate. ”
Zhao Yuan listened, and his brows furrowed a little. He thought to himself: "It seems that Empress Dowager Fu attaches great importance to Wei Wen, and she does not hesitate to put heavy troops in Guze to compete with us." Now Guze's strength has more than 100,000 people, and our side only has 80,000 or 90,000 people at this time, which seems to be weak. ”
"She expected that I would not dare to start a war rashly, and I would first go back to Huaiyang to transfer troops, but on the battlefield, the sword went sideways, and not only did I not transfer troops, but I also had to divide 40,000 cavalry."
Zhao Yuan asked the generals Qi Ming and Sun Chushan to lead 20,000 cavalry each to attack overnight and attack the northern and southern lines of the Patriotic State that had just been transferred. After the second general got the order, he went out of the account to order the troops.
Cui Qi was a little worried: "Your Majesty, our troops are already small, and now we have been divided into 40,000 people, and the enemy army is coming, how can we do it?" ”
Zhao Yuan smiled faintly: "Cui Aiqing is too worried, since Empress Dowager Fu urgently transferred heavy troops, she must value Wei Wen's life very much, he is in my hands, how can Empress Dowager Fu act rashly." ”
"However, this matter can't be delayed, tomorrow morning, we will escort Wei Wen to Guze City, let the people of the country know that Wei Wen is still alive, so that those who have plans to establish another monarch are speechless, I want to see how the Fu family rescues this good grandson."
"Besides, at the first stop in Guze City, it was mainly the patriotic army that fought with our army, but the armies of South Korea and Yiguo were nowhere to be found. It can be seen that the treacherous and cunning Yi Guohou and the Han Hou, who is confused and knows every day that he asks for immortals, must be playing his own little abacus. ”
"In order not to suffer losses to their own troops, they let the guards take the lead and they hid behind. If the defense of the country wins, South Korea and Yiguo will hurry out and wave their flags and shout for a while to boost their morale. ”
"If the defense of the country loses, then the two pillars will remain silent, take advantage of the unpreparedness to withdraw their troops from the vicinity of Guze City, and quickly return to support their own country."
"As for what will happen to the country, it is not in their consideration. In this way, the so-called Triple Alliance is nothing more than that, and the first battle will be uneven, and it will be even more vulnerable in the future. ”
