Chapter 159: The Siege (3)
Xia Ruqian finally untied Xue Chenyu's heart knot, and the two of them reconciled as before, but the Nine Princes were not so lucky. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Su Yu was really not an embroidered pillow, Liuli sent 50,000 elite soldiers to forcibly attack the city, but they were all skillfully resolved by Su Yu.
Kyoto is a duck in its mouth, but it's hard to bite!
Xue Chenrui was a little impatient, and he saw that he was about to finish, but a Cheng bit gold popped up in the middle, which was really like a fish in his throat, and he couldn't spit it out or swallow it.
The atmosphere in the tent was tense for a moment.
"Oh, my lord, when have you been so kind! This doesn't work, that doesn't work, this battle is really embarrassing! It is said that the thief captures the king first, and if I directly take Su Yu's head above the army, it will be over, why are you still here! Liuli was in a hurry, yelling.
"No, this king has promised to be shallow, and he will never be touched."
Liuli shook her head helplessly, as if the prince's head was stupid and couldn't communicate!
"Is the prince really not embarrassed by Su Yu?" Xue Chenrui asked.
"Well, let's take it as a favor for Su Yu for Qianqian!" The Nine Princes twisted their palms and said, "Besiege Kyoto, if you don't attack it, you won't break it, wait for three days." ”
"Lord Wang, I'm afraid that Kyoto has plenty of grain and grass, and a plan to besiege the city will have no effect!" Gu Cheng said thoughtfully.
"It's okay, this king is not waiting for him to surrender, but waiting for the emperor to make trouble." The Nine Princes turned around, and his voice was a little lonely: "This king knows him very well, this king led the army to besiege Kyoto, he will definitely not be able to sit still, if he makes the first move, this king will save a lot of thought." ”
"What does the prince mean, when the emperor can't sit still, he will send troops to attack us first?!" Gu Cheng asked.
The Ninth Prince didn't answer, but Xue Chenrui raised the corners of his mouth: "Hmph, a person like the emperor who is pretentious and impatient, he will not be a turtle with a shrunken head for the sake of his own face, he will definitely make the first move." ”
"That's just right, we don't have to open the door ourselves!" Liuli smiled a little evilly: "As soon as his soldiers and horses go out, I will lead the troops to attack it!" ”
Kyoto camp.
Su Yu frowned and was leaning over the desk to write something, when suddenly the curtain of the tent was lifted, and Ji Sheng walked in.
"Father-in-law Ji," Su Yu stood up with some surprise, and smiled knowingly: "But what does the emperor command?" ”
"General Su, it seems that the emperor really didn't see the wrong person, but I didn't expect you to look polite, but you acted very resolutely, and the emperor was full of praise for you!"
"Father-in-law Su is polite, let's talk about these polite words later! I don't know why my father-in-law came this time? ”
"Although General Su successfully held Kyoto, but the army and horses of the Nine Princes were besieged around Kyoto, they couldn't get in, and we couldn't get out, the emperor meant..."
"I understand the emperor's feelings, but our side has too few soldiers and horses, if we forcibly send troops, I'm afraid..."
Ji Sheng waved his hand to interrupt Su Yu's words: "Our family understands, and the emperor also understands, so the emperor didn't let General Su send troops, the emperor was worried that General Su and the Nine Princes would be in a stalemate and it would not end well, so he specially asked our family to bring a gift to General Su!" ”
"Gifts?" Su Yu raised his eyebrows and was a little surprised: "I also ask Gonggong Ji to return to the emperor, Su Yu will not accept any gifts before defeating the prince." ”
"Oh, General Su misunderstood, it may not be accurate to say that it was for General Su, to be precise, it should be a gift to the Nine Princes!"
Su Yu's heart suddenly chuckled, and some bad premonitions swirled in his mind, and before he could ask a question or two, Ji Sheng had already clapped his palms, and then the guards escorted a team of people in.
This pair of people, horses, old and young, women and children, everything.
When Su Yu took a closer look, the sense of rejection in his heart turned upside down.
These people turned out to be all the people of the Xia Mansion and the Royal Mansion, from relatives to slaves, there was no shortage of one.
Even Prime Minister Xia is among them.
Su Yu walked up with an arrow, supported Mrs. Xia, turned his head and asked Prime Minister Xia, "What is this?" ”
Prime Minister Xia Cheng was in tears, looking ashamed, and just wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ji Sheng with a look and stopped talking.
Su Yu held his hands very closely, and there was no joy or anger on his face, but his voice was very cold, and there was a low pressure around him, and he asked Ji Sheng: "Father-in-law Ji, I don't know what you invited Mrs. Xia, Prime Minister Xia, and the people of the palace to do?" Is it to kill the enemy on the battlefield? ”
Ji Sheng was startled by Su Yu's tone, he eased his nerves, and said with a smile: "General Su said that he laughed, these are all old and young, sick and disabled, how can they go on the field to kill the enemy, besides, even if they can, the emperor can't!" ”
When Su Yu heard this, his face softened slightly, and he asked, "What does the emperor mean?" ”
"What the emperor means is that General Su can use them to threaten the Nine Princes...."
Ji Hui was still saying something, and Su Yu couldn't hear a word.
He already understood what the emperor meant, and the emperor hoped that he would push out this group of old and young women and children as a shield to force the nine princes to retreat.
Hehe.
It's ridiculous.
Push your people out to keep yourself.
This is your king, this is your allegiance!
He seemed to be able to see Xia Ruqian suddenly appear in front of him that day, she held his hand and persuaded herself word by word.
She asked him, "Do you want to be loyal to the king, and to the person in the palace, right?!" ”
She said: "Look at me, your childhood sweetheart, your two little guesses, why did I become the ninth princess instead of your Su Yu's wife?!" ”
She said, "Su Yu, wake up!" He's just taking advantage of you! Otherwise, why would you, a person who has never been on the battlefield, come to defend the last line of defense in Kyoto?! ”
She said: "Please, for my sake, you must think about it and take refuge in the prince!" ”
She said....
Her words echoed in Su Yu's ears one by one, and Su Yu was a little dazed and a little at a loss.
Why did he work so hard to protect Kyoto?!
What is the reason for abandoning these innocent people?!
For the emperor?!
No.
Actually, it's for his ridiculous self-esteem.
He wants to defeat the Nine Princes, defeat the Nine Princes who stole his beloved.
But....
Su Yu turned around and looked at these innocent people, feeling that he was really stupid.
He laughed desolate twice and walked out of the tent.
The sun outside is still very gentle and warm, but Su Yu's heart is cold and piercing.
He ascended the tower and looked into the distance.
The army of the Nine Princes was camped at the end of the sight, and the snow-white tents were one after another, like a mountain, indestructible.
Suddenly, Su Yu was relieved.
He was no longer by Xia Ruqian's side, so he shouldn't put her in danger.
