105: Jingzhou Rebellion

Cao Qianyue, the prince of Zhongjing, still knows the real cause of death of Zhao Yan and Empress Cao, although he has long been away from Yecheng, but his daughters and sons are all in the capital, saying that he is not operating in the capital? Even Zhao Liang wouldn't believe it.

So since Zhao Yan was deposed that day, he has always paid attention to the movements of Yecheng, although he doesn't believe that his grandson will be so ridiculous, but he can't go up to the fold to plead, because Cheng Yi's injury is the best evidence.

But now, his grandson was reprimanded to take poison, and his eldest daughter Hengliang, not to mention Cao Bin was still on the hard road to Gupan Mountain, so on the 12th day of July in the eighth year of Tai'an, Jingzhou mutinied, and the prince of Zhongjing held high the banner of "Qingjun's side", relying on the friendship with the commander of Jingzhou, he personally led 120,000 elite Jingzhou, all the way north, and raised troops.

The news came back to Yecheng, but Zhao Heng was only full of helplessness, which seemed to be expected by him, and he couldn't be angry at all, because what Zhao Ju said that day was good, and he was ashamed of the queen.

Zhao Heng mobilized 80,000 troops, appointed He Qi as the commander of the front battle, and ordered him to face the Cao Wangye, but he was not allowed to hurt his life.

When he learned that He Qi had brought 80,000 people out of the city to meet the battle, Rong Jiang jumped to his feet and shouted at Rong Yu: "Eighty thousand? Is Majesty a child's play with war? Do you want He Qi to lead 80,000 horses to fight against the 120,000 Jingzhou army? ”

Rong Ji saw her impertinent appearance, and because Zhao Liang was also present, he had a cold face: "Why are you yelling." He reprimanded lightly before continuing, "He Qi is not a mediocre general, do you think he can't fight this battle?" ”

Rong Jiang retracted slightly, retreated and sat down, glanced at Rong Ji with a frown, and then asked Rong Yu again: "Grandfather also thinks that He Qi can fight this battle?" ”

Zhao Liang looked at her and obviously had something to say, and then looked at Rong Yu's face was pale, so he coughed and asked, "Why can't you fight?" He knocked on the table, causing Rong Jiang to turn his head to look at him, "Although the Jingzhou army has 120,000 troops, it is not so easy to attack Yecheng all the way north, right?" Once Cao Qianyue dispersed his forces, he would break through the cities along the way one by one."

Rong Jiangmei interrupted him with a horizontal eyebrow: "It is impossible for Prince Zhongjing to disperse his forces. Her categorical tone made Zhao Ju stunned for a moment, and then she explained, "Lord Cao raised troops to take revenge, he didn't really want to make a mess to usurp the throne, so he won't attack the city and plunder the land, he must be desperate to smash Huanglong." When the time comes, he will concentrate 120,000 troops to concentrate on all the way, and He Qi's 80,000 horses will not be able to fight at all. ”

Rong Yu snorted, but shook his head: "He Qi has not yet been trained under you, he is a general but he can't be the boss, if you want him to lead 200,000 people to meet the battle, it is not a problem to capture Cao Qianyue alive, but he will definitely suffer 80,000 people." ”

Rong Huai lowered his head, and said in his heart that if he really took 200,000 to 120,000, let alone He Qi, if he asked Rong Jing to go, he would also be able to capture the prince of Zhongjing.

"Besides, Your Majesty has said it first, and you can't hurt the life of Prince Zhongjing. He Qi will have some scruples when arranging troops, this is a taboo in the march," Rong Jiang looked embarrassed, rubbed his hands anxiously, softened his tone, and asked Rong Yu half-inquiring and half-begging: "Tell me to go into the palace and tell Your Majesty?" ”

Zhao Liang didn't wait for Rong Yu to speak, and pressed her across the table first: "You can't go!" ”

Rong Jiang snorted coldly and asked him in turn: "I know that His Highness is interested in me, so it is easy to withdraw and avoid it for the time being, and I must not plunge into it again at this time, so that Your Majesty will not look at me well." She paused for a moment, "But the enemy is now, and he sent He Qi out to fight blindly, and it has been delayed for a long time, I am only afraid of internal and external troubles, and it will be out of control when the time comes!" Do you want me to sit idly by and ignore this battle in order to protect myself? ”

"Are you afraid that Xijon will take advantage of the fire to rob?" Zhao Liang's heart moved slightly, but his hand did not let go, he still pressed her and asked.

Rong Jiang nodded first: "The Jingzhou army didn't come up from the wild road, most of the Jingzhou troops relied on the Jingzhou army to fight Beidi back then, and I want to retreat from the Jingzhou army, unless His Majesty is willing to give an order, saying that Cao Wangye's 'Qingjun side' is all nonsense, he is a traitor, but His Majesty will never want to, right?" Seeing Zhao Liang nodding, she continued, "If they really fight all the way, Xirong will definitely take the opportunity to send troops." After finishing speaking, she was silent for a while, pumped her hand, went to look at Rong Yu, and after thinking for a while, her heart opened her mouth, "Since Lord Cao said that Qingjun is on the side, I am afraid that it will move, not only Jingzhou." All the soldiers and horses in the world can wait for the opportunity to move on the grounds of the protection of the king, and His Royal Highness can tell the difference, who is loyal and patriotic, and who is the ambition of the wolf? ”

Zhao Ju was stunned when she said it, and she loosened her hand, but he didn't expect it - Zhao Heng has been in power for eight years, and the people have nothing to say to this emperor, but what about the courtiers? What about the generals who are out there? Which one is not living with his head up, for fear of committing the taboo of the Son of Heaven, and now someone has taken the lead and said that he wants to clear the king's side, who knows if they will follow?

You must know that the person who took the lead is Cao Qianyue, the father of Empress Wenhui, will he, the old Taishan, go to the country of his son-in-law? When the time comes, I am afraid that those who are originally loyal will follow and raise troops - why? Even the emperor's father-in-law said that he wanted to clear the monarch's side, since they are loyal to the monarch, they must follow in the footsteps of the old prince Cao, right?

He couldn't sit still thinking about it, and he moved to get up, but Rong Yu interrupted him: "No one can enter the palace at this time, and Your Highness especially can't go." He said and stared at Zhao Liang, "Although His Highness stays in Yecheng, but Yunzhou is still in your hands, you go to the palace and tell Your Majesty, for fear that all parties will move, isn't it clear that Your Majesty will take you first?" ”

"I naturally know this," Zhao Liang became a little impatient, "But it's really as Rong Rong said, this battle has dragged on for a long time, and what if there are any more side complications?" ”

"I don't think so." Rong Yu's face was scheming, the middle finger of his left hand was raised up and down, and he knocked on the table for a while, and then continued, "Call He Qi to go, he is not a person who is greedy for merit, as long as he suffers a few losses, he will definitely turn back to Beijing, and tell him that he can't fight this battle," he said and looked at Rong Jiang, "Your Majesty may send you there." ”

Rong Jiang herself knew it, so she nodded, seeing that Zhao Liang still had something to say, she groaned and asked Zhao Liang to send it to Zhao Liang: "I'll write a letter and ask Your Highness to find a way to send it to Jiangbei, right?" ”

Zhao Qi smiled dumbly, this girl is becoming more and more clever, knowing that the war is about to start, she is not good at sending a letter to Jiangbei in private, and he always has some ways to do it, so just ask him?

Rong Yu listened to it but asked her, "What do you have in mind?" ”

Rong Jiang laughed for a while, and returned to Rong Yu with some smugness: "I told them to strengthen their defense, step up their drills, and when they are idle, they will set up a crane wing formation at the junction of the two countries, as if they were training troops, and they should warn Xirong." She smiled again, "You know that I have deliberately changed the formation of this crane wing array, and Yelu Mingzhou still doesn't dare to come hard." ”

She saw that Rong Yu didn't speak for a long time, so she got up and wanted to retire to write a letter, but she heard Rong Yu open her mouth in a deep voice: "The Crane Wing Formation is both offensive and defensive, but you and Cheng Yi are not in Jiangbei, and the commander before the formation is missing, who can use this formation exquisitely?" ”

Rong Jiangleng paused for a moment before he wanted to ask, "Then do you have any other ideas?" Zhao Liang had already opened his mouth one step ahead of her: "What does Grandpa Guo mean, is it to let Cheng Yi go back?" (To be continued.) )
