The fastest update of the latest chapter!
In the capital, Long Zhaohuan discussed in front of the court, his confidant Sun Chengzhong, the prince Zhan Shi Zhan Han, and the left-behind prime minister Su Xinghai gathered.
Long Zhaohuan said: "This time, Your Majesty issued an edict to let the Governor of Yuzhou go to Jiangnan to serve as the Governor of the Nanfu Army, the Yuzhou Army has no leader, it happens that the capital is empty, and it is urgent to transfer troops for defense. ”
Sun Chengzhong said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, there is no doubt about this matter, the Yuzhou army must obey the prince's orders, fortunately, Su Zhi, the governor of Yuzhou, is the nephew of Su Xiangguo, and he only needs to repair one letter from Xiangguo, and this matter will be safe!"
In the land of Yuzhou Dan Pill, such a small place is really too crowded for 60,000 military horses, the gate of the capital is open to them, and the Yuzhou army can enter Beijing, what a good thing is this? ”
Su Xinghai said with a smile: "Lord Sun, if you said this two days earlier, it is most appropriate, Your Majesty's will cannot be delayed for a moment!" The military order is like a mountain, after Su Zhi received the holy decree, he immediately went straight to Jiangnan without taking off his clothes, and when the Su family got the news, he was already halfway there!
At this moment, you asked me to contact Su Zhi and let the Yuzhou army enter Beijing, which is more than half a beat slower! ”
Sun Chengzhong frowned, Long Zhaohuan suddenly stood up, and said, "Come on, the whole army!" The palace wants to inspect Yuzhou in person! ”
Zhan Han said: "Your Highness, I have already prepared according to your orders!" 10,000 cavalry arrived in Yuzhou, Your Highness personally led, to Yuzhou outside the city are afraid that the Yuzhou army will not open the door to greet you? ”
Long Zhaohuan laughed and said, "Okay, Su Xiang and Chengzhong are responsible for guarding the capital, and you will accompany me to Yuzhou, without further ado, immediately send out troops!" ”
Long Zhaohuan did not slack off in the slightest, and quickly led an army of 10,000 to go straight to Yuzhou, at this moment, the 60,000 soldiers and horses in Yuzhou are really too important to him, if he can grasp these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, not only can the capital be defended, but he can also take advantage of the situation to completely grasp the two rivers in his hands.
In this era, the strong are respected, and whoever has the strength is the king! Long Zhaohuan had no soldiers in his hands, so his influence could only be around Gyeonggi, and outside the scope of the capital, all places did not listen to him. The taxes he could collect were so small that he had no way to expand his army, just enough to fill his stomach.
Therefore, whether he can take the Yuzhou army is related to his life and death, if the Yuzhou army can be returned, he will annex the two rivers and the territory in his hands will be vast, with the territory and army in his hands, Long Zhaohuan can attack Longyou to the west, to the east can threaten Shandong, to the north can contact Liaodong, he monopolizes the strategic place in the capital, it can be said that he occupies the initiative.
Long Zhaohuan sent troops, and the strategists and generals around him almost overwhelmingly supported him, and he was also full of ambition, he firmly believed that the Yuzhou army had no commander, and he went to Yuzhou as the crown prince, and he would definitely be able to encircle other generals of the Yuzhou army, as long as they returned, Long Zhaohuan did not hesitate to give them a heavy reward.
The army set out from the capital, and after three days, it resisted the city of Yuzhou, and when it arrived at the city of Yuzhou, Long Zhaohuan ordered Zhan Han to call the door, and Zhan Han stood under the city and shouted:
"The prince also came to Yuzhou to inspect the disaster of the two rivers, and the Yuzhou army didn't quickly shutter to greet the prince?"
The soldiers in the city looked blank, and one of the captains replied: "I'm sorry, I will block the gate of Yuzhou in the name of Lord Qincha, no one can enter, you want to help the disaster, the entire two rivers are starving, there are no victims in Yuzhou, there is no need for you to patronize!" ”
As soon as Zhan Han heard this, he immediately replied to Long Zhaohuan, Long Zhaohuan was furious, and said, "How can this be true, when is there another Qincha?" Where did you come to get a cha? ”
Zhan Han said: "It must be that Su Zhi went to Jiangnan, and the imperial court sent Qin to Yuzhou to pacify and command the disaster relief. ”
"The imperial court, where did the imperial court come from?" Long Zhaohuan was furious, he said: "This palace is the imperial court, and this palace will guard the capital instead of the Son of Heaven to supervise the country, this palace has not sent a Qin messenger, where did the Qin messenger come from?" I think it's a pseudo-chincha! ”
Long Zhaohuan scolded, and his general Zuo Qianlong stepped forward and said loudly: "Your Highness, it seems that this Qincha is also a newcomer, and he may not necessarily be in control of the situation, at this moment, we should not hesitate to act immediately!" ”
"As the last general sees, the city defense of Yuzhou is not Erer, if we suddenly attack, we will definitely be able to open a gap, as long as we rush in, the Yuzhou army will be chaotic, at that time, we will catch the Qincha again, let it win the hearts of the people, and Yuzhou will fall into the hands of His Royal Highness." Zuo Qianlong said loudly.
Long Zhaohuan's face changed, and Zhan Han said: "Your Highness, it is absolutely inappropriate at this time, there are 60,000 military horses in Yuzhou, and we only have 10,000 horses, this kind of confrontation is not a level at all, if you miss, I am afraid that there will be no recovery!" ”
Zuo Qianlong sneered: "Lord Zhan, we were taken by surprise, with intention or not, we hit with one blow, and the other party was caught off guard." In the land of Yuzhou, 60,000 horses can't be used at all, and I wait for 10,000 elite soldiers to enter, when they are as sharp as a sword, how can the enemy block them? ”
Zuo Qianlong was impassioned, and in the end, he straightened his chest and said: "Your Highness, the last general is willing to lead three thousand troops to attack the east gate, if not, the last general is willing to engage in military law!" ”
Zuo Qianlong paused, and then said: "Your Highness, in today's world, chaos has been born, and at this moment, it should be a place for heroes!" If Your Highness makes a decision immediately, we will attack immediately, and if we win, the two rivers can be determined! How can we miss such an opportunity? ”
Long Zhaohuan was enthusiastically boiled by Zuo Qianlong's words, and immediately pulled out the saber on his waist, and said loudly: "Okay, since General Zuo is so confident, this palace will order you to be the vanguard and lead 5,000 troops to attack the east gate, today is not early, simply send troops early tomorrow morning, surprise, take the east gate in an instant, and then we will take Yuzhou in one go!" ”
Long Zhaohuan immediately made a decision to prepare to send troops, but the strategists around him couldn't stop him, and Zhan Han also persuaded him bitterly, just sighed on the side.
There was nothing to say all night, early the next morning, Zuo Qianlong did not wait for dawn to send troops to beat drums to attack the city, this time Zuo Qianlong came from the capital, has made full preparations, siege vehicles, ladders, sassal wood rolling stones, etc. are all ready.
He gave an order, 5,000 people went out to attack the east gate of Yuzhou directly, because the sky was not bright, the defenders on the city gate had not come to their senses, the soldiers who attacked the city boarded the city gate, a good fight, the east gate was breached!
Zuo Qianlong was overjoyed when he saw that the east gate was broken, and immediately sent a message to Long Zhaohuan.
Long Zhaohuan stood on the opposite side and saw the fire on the city wall, and immediately overjoyed, and said loudly: "It's broken, the city is broken!" Long Zhaohuan immediately drew his sword and said angrily: "Listen to my generals, the whole army will attack, rush to Yuzhou, and kill ......."
Suddenly the sound of killing shook the sky, Long Zhaohuan led the army to kill under the city, and suddenly heard the sound of agitated horns behind him, he immediately turned around, only to see the sky behind him, a team of cavalry waving battle flags, swept like a wind and clouds, the sound of horses' hooves, kicking up the dust.
Long Zhaohuan was shocked, he knew that it was not good, at this time on the city wall, suddenly arrows shot down like rain, and the capital army that had just attacked the city was actually killed, and then the east gate was opened, and a group of people rushed out of the city gate, the person headed by the person described the great shore, the momentum was pressing, this person is not the left general of the Yuzhou army, who is Cao Xuanhua?
Cao Xuanhua went out to fight, without saying a word, and took the cavalry behind him to kill Long Zhaohuan directly, Long Zhaohuan saw this scene, he was really heartbroken, where can he still fight? Immediately roared desperately, and said: "Retreat, retreat, retreat!" Retire! ”
After Long Zhaohuan finished speaking, he turned his horse and left, as soon as the main general left, he was immediately defeated like a mountain, where did the remaining generals still have the heart to fight again? At one time, the capital army of tens of thousands of horses was like a free-range duck, everywhere, and the Yuzhou army killed from behind and chased it all the way for hundreds of miles.
Long Zhaohuan fled for a hundred miles under the arch guards of the left and right guards before he barely dared to rein the reins, at this time he looked around again and found that there were only more than 100 horses left and right.
Seeing this situation, Long Zhaohuan was so angry that his eyes darkened, and he almost fell off the horse, he drew his sword, and was about to wipe his neck to commit suicide, only to hear the prince Zhan Shi Zhan Han said loudly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, don't think about it, the so-called stay in the green mountains is not worried about no firewood, this wave is temporarily defeated, we will first retreat to the capital and slowly figure it out, and there will be a day when the mountains will rise again!" ”
Long Zhaohuan wept bitterly and said: "10,000 elite soldiers, this is almost the most elite army that the capital can call, these 10,000 people are buried in vain, how can the capital be defended?" Is it true that the people should be put on the top of the city to defend it? ”
"Go and find out, who is the Qincha from Jiangnan? is so insidious and cunning, deliberately led into a trap, such a messenger is simply a thief of chaos, a thief of chaos! Long Zhaohuan said loudly.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, let's discuss it later, for now, it is important for His Highness to return to Beijing first! Here I left to gather the remnants of the army, this kind of situation should still be able to gather a few percent, even if it can be one or two percent of it is a great blessing for my capital! Zhan Han said.
Long Zhaohuan jumped down from his horse, walked in front of Zhan Han, grabbed his hand and said, "Long Zhaohuan is ashamed not to listen to the king's words, he still has this defeat, and he really regrets it at this moment!" ”
Zhan Han said: "Your Highness, go quickly, we and Your Highness are also honored, and we will lose both, this is not the time to be polite......"
Long Zhaohuan got on the horse and ran again, and fled straight back to the capital, Zhan Han collected the remnants of the army in the back, and finally got more than 2,000 remnants, Long Zhaohuan went out this time and lost 8,000 sharp soldiers, which can be said to be a heavy loss, miserable!
After returning to the capital, Long Zhaohuan received the news that according to the news from Jiangnan, the Jiangnan Imperial Court sent Cao Weihua to serve as the Qincha of Lianghe and inspect Lianghe to be responsible for disaster relief. After Cao Weihua arrived in Lianghe, the first thing he did was to gather the Yuzhou army and capture the Yuzhou army.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this so-called candidate for the Qin mission is all a trick used by Lu Zheng! Lu Zheng's fang, deliberately, is not to let the Yuzhou army fall into the hands of Your Highness, this fang's treachery, it is really unprecedented, His Royal Highness the Prince, this fang should be punished!!
