It's March again, and the sky is full of flowers, but only beacon fires.

The calm and prosperous city of Kyoto was bombarded with artillery and blood because of a struggle for the throne. Ximen Donghai and Murong Yichuan have been in a stalemate for more than half a month, and now Xiao Suyuan's reinforcements and the troops in the capital should be combined with the outside, and the reinforcements of Ximen Donghai were robbed by Zhou Dawei outside the city, unable to enter Beijing to support, and now the situation faced by Ximen Donghai is that the enemy is outnumbered, and if it continues, it can only be the end of me as a fish and a meat, and the enemy is a sword, and I must come up with a strategy to deal with it before I am defeated.

The next day, after breakfast, Ximen Donghai called Ximen Xiaoman, Ximen Zhong, the noble concubine Ximen Ruoying and several other henchmen to the study to discuss the current shape together, and the crown prince Murong Zhiyuan came with Xiaoman.

The atmosphere in the study was very depressing, everyone lowered their heads, and everyone had a more or less sad look on their faces.

Ximen Donghai put down the teacup and coughed lightly, and everyone's eyes focused on him.

"Dad, do you have a strategy for calling us over with us today?" Ximen Xiaoman asked cautiously.

Ximen Donghai said with a calm face.

Ximen Ruoying said anxiously, since the eldest brother has no strategy to meet the enemy, seeing that Murong Yichuan's army is about to attack our general's mansion, how can this be good? If we and His Highness the Crown Prince fall into his hands, we will surely die.

Ximen Donghai's fierce gaze swept over everyone, and finally fell on Murong Zhiyuan's body, "The plan for today is to lose the car and protect the handsome." ”

"What does the general mean to abandon the capital?" Murong Zhiyuan asked with a little surprise.

Ximen Donghai nodded and said in a deep voice; "Your Highness."

Concubine Ximen hurriedly stood up to obstruct it, "Big brother, don't do it, if we give up the capital, then it will be equivalent to fulfilling Murong Yichuan's enthronement and sitting in the palace, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the new monarch who is justifiable, and it is he Murong Yichuan who wants to leave, not His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Ximen Donghai sighed helplessly, and said meaningfully, if it weren't for the last resort, I scolded and might have come up with this method, and now our troops in the capital have lost more than 10,000, and now the full battle is about 40,000, and the army brought by Xiao Suyuan has added up to more than 100,000 in the original army in the capital, which is more than three times as much as ours, how can we compete with it? The reinforcements were restrained by Zhou Dawei outside the city, and we have changed from the original initiative to passivity, so we must escape from the capital with the prince, go to Bashu to meet with Chen Taiwei and Yonghao, and then unite the loyal people of the world to crusade against the traitors Murong Yichuan and Xiao Suen, etc., Murong Yichuan seeks power and usurps the throne is more than will be scolded by the world, and His Royal Highness the Prince can return to the capital as soon as possible. After speaking, Ximen Donghai sighed helplessly.

Ximen Xiaoman took the case at this time, "Dad, I think we don't need to flee the capital to make Murong Yichuan annoyed." ”

"Xiao Man, what do you have a good plan?" Murong Zhiyuan looked at his wife happily and asked.

Ximen Xiaoman said with a straight face. We can send most of our troops to besiege the palace, I heard that Murong Yichuan has transferred all the elite divisions to his side, and although the palace is heavily guarded, it is not enough to support it, we will take Dongfang Wanruo and Qianxue County Lord, do you think about Murong Yichuan's wife and daughter in our hands, can she not give in? I heard that Dongfang is pregnant with twins now, and we have the four lives that Murong Yichuan loves the most, can he really be cold-blooded and ruthless to the point of ignoring the life and death of his wife and daughter. Simon said with his eyes shining brightly, as if he was confident.

Ximen Guifei pulled Xiaoman to sit down, and said slowly, A person who even killed his brother, eldest son and nephew for the throne, do you think he may give up the throne that he won so hard for his wife and children? Do you know that Wu Zetian did not hesitate to sacrifice his own daughter in order to sit on the throne of the queen, the Liu Song royal family in the Northern and Southern Dynasties killed each other for the throne, and killed each other, Murong Yichuan's ruthlessness was not lost to the ancients, I thought about it carefully and felt that your father's decision was the most appropriate, I agree with abandoning the capital to protect the prince, as long as His Royal Highness the prince is safe and righteous, I believe that there are many people who are loyal to the emperor and His Royal Highness the prince, and there is much help for the righteous and little help for the unjust, let Murong Yichuan be proud for a few days, and sooner or later he will pay the price for today's infidelity. "I want to leave the silver teeth of the concubine who wants to leave the west gate of Beijing, and the willow eyebrows are upside down.

"I wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can approve of the ministers' decision?" Ximen Donghai still didn't dare to make a decision immediately, so he respectfully asked Murong Zhiyuan, he also knew that he didn't have any opinions, and he was just putting on a show.

Murong Zhiyuan hurriedly said that General Qiyi is, this prince has no objection, but I want to enter the palace to see the queen mother and the imperial grandmother before leaving Beijing, and I don't know when I will return.

Seeing Murong Zhiyuan so sad, Ximen Xiaoman was busy comforting His Royal Highness softly, it was not too sad, just a temporary farewell instead of a farewell, if His Royal Highness entered the palace to ask the queen mother and the queen mother to ask for peace, it would be self-defeating, and it was okay, and it was not too late to be filial to the queen and the queen mother after His Royal Highness returned to Beijing.

"I'm worried that Uncle Huang will be bad for the queen mother. And my other royal brothers and sisters, hey! Murong Zhiyuan said with a worried face, although he is not the biological son of Empress Xiao, and as the saying goes, it is better to raise grace than to give birth, so the crown prince Murong Zhiyuan is very kind to Empress Xiao, and Empress Xiao has always regarded it as her own.

Ximen Xiaoman Zhengse Road; "Your Royal Highness, don't be too kind, you are worried about the mood of the queen mother, the concubine can understand, but don't forget that the queen mother is the Xiao family, although she is not a concubine, she is surnamed Xiao after all, think about Murong Yichuan will look at the face of the queen mother and Xiao Chengxiang, and will not embarrass Queen Xiao, as for the other princes and princesses, they are the queen mother's own grandchildren after all, and the queen mother will protect them, and now His Royal Highness's life is better than a qiē,

Three days later, Ximen Donghai took the whole family and the family of Chen Yongkang from Taiwan, together with more than 40,000 soldiers to protect the crown prince Murong Zhiyuan, and finally took out the capital.

After Ximen Donghai left Beijing, there were chasing soldiers behind, and the front happened to meet Zhou Dawei's army to cross the robbery, and the enemy was on his back, but Ximen Donghai was still calm, he divided his forces into three units, and led more than 10,000 troops by himself to protect the families of Murong Zhiyuan and Ximen Chen fled from the side road, and Ximen Zhong led more than 8,000 troops to deal with the pursuers behind, and there were more than Liu Geng, the student soldiers of Ximen Donghai, who led the army facing Zhou Dawei, so that he had the opportunity to escape with the prince and others. Not far away, he met Zhang Shicheng, the general of Bishui Pass, who came to meet him, and went to Bashu with Murong Zhiyuan in his arms, as early as a month ago, Ximen Donghai sent a secret letter to Shen Yongkang to ask him not to be enemies with the Miao people and Dong people, find a way to buy, turn enemies into friends with them, and then recover the entire Bashu, and now Chen Yongkang has occupied Bashu, 400,000 mercenaries, and Bashu is also the hometown of Ximen Donghai, more than 40 years ago, he was a small soldier in Mianzhou, so he sat step by step to the rank of the third general, It is precisely because Ximen Donghai is from Bashu that most of the local officials are more or less implicated in Ximen Donghai, so Chen Yongkang's recovery of Bashu can be regarded as bloodless.
