The whole book, the fastest update to win the latest chapter!
Liaodong reversed, the hall was full of shock, and all the civil and military ministers gathered outside the hall, everyone knew that the situation had changed significantly, and Long Zhaoyan might need to make a decision!
Prime Minister Wei Xuan came in from outside and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you don't have to make a hasty decision on this matter, now the enemy army is attacking the city urgently, and the rumors outside are all over the sky, and no one can tell whether it is true or false!"
Whether the things in Liaodong are true or false, we should wait and see how they change before deciding whether to advance or retreat! ”
The monk said: "Lord Wei, the news of Liaodong is absolutely reliable, Liaodong is not against it, it is all in Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Her Royal Highness the princess went to Liaodong, can Liaodong not rebel?
Ladies and gentlemen, the current situation has reached a critical time, if Your Majesty is just a corner of peace and becomes the overlord of Western Chu, now you can support the capital and respect yourself, and there is no need to grasp the good opportunity in front of you. However, if Your Majesty has great ambitions and wants to reign in the world, you can't fail to seize this opportunity in front of you! ”
When the monk said this, many ministers around him came over to speak, and most of his ministers stood on the side of the monk.
After all, it is true that many people feel panicked if the capital is only holding on to one city now, and if the situation outside is tense, it is reasonable to hold on for the time being and wait for a good opportunity.
But now that the situation outside has changed, the army besieging the capital will immediately fall into a dilemma, in this case, Long Zhaoyan is still just sticking to the capital, it is too negative.
After all, although the dynasty has changed now, it is still the era name of Xinde when he leaves the capital, and Long Zhaoyan is still unable to infiltrate his influence outside the capital, let alone let the people of the world return to their hearts.
In this case, if you don't grasp the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, once you miss it, how can Long Zhaoyan rule the world?
Long Zhaoyan was originally a person who didn't have many ideas, but he was still very touched by the words of the Dao monk, and immediately said: "Master, is the news from Liaodong really true?" ”
The monk said: "Can this be fake? We have at least three sources that have confirmed this news, if the poor monk's news is wrong, the secret spies of our military department, and the secret spies of our previous royal palace have found out this news, is it all fake? ”
Long Zhaoyan clapped his hands lightly and sighed: "My sister, he is really reversed!" Hey, Liaodong's reversal, I don't know how many lives have been destroyed. Since I have inherited the unification, I must not let the world be in chaos, I have made up my mind, and decided to order the Twelve Guards to send troops to Shandong and fight to the death with the Liaodong rebels! ”
Wei Xuan frowned secretly when he heard this, and took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, you have to think twice about sending troops in a hurry!" At present, the situation is chaotic, there are traps everywhere, Liaodong is reversed, it is of course extremely beneficial to Your Majesty, Your Majesty only needs to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight to quickly take the lead. But if this situation is just someone else's trick, Your Majesty is in a hurry, for fear of being calculated, it will not be beautiful!
Your Majesty has just established the country, and the foundation is weak, so you must be cautious in everything, and don't be careless! ”
Long Zhaoyan said: "Wei Xiang, the dignified Ninety-Five Emperor, reigns over the world, and now the world is in chaos, how can I sit idly by?" If I don't grasp this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, can I still be regarded as the Ninety-Five?
Listen to it, don't talk about this topic again, I have made up my mind, and I will go on the expedition tomorrow! I want to drive the expedition myself! ”
Long Zhaoyan drove the expedition in person, Lu Zheng's vanguard army was quickly defeated, and more than half of the 20,000 siege soldiers led by Cao Weiming from Hebei were killed and wounded, and countless siege equipment were abandoned.
Long Zhaoyan went all the way smoothly, rushed out of the capital three hundred miles away, and then went east to the Hebei Plain, and all he saw in front of him was the endless green gauze tent.
The monk said with a smile: "Your Majesty's imperial expedition has succeeded in one fell swoop, and no one can threaten the capital for three hundred miles around Gyeonggi!" Lu Zheng is a son, although he has a high level of talent, and he can understand some fur in the military, but he is not a handsome general.
Besides, now he is facing the dilemma of being caught between the front and back, and he can't help but save Shandong, so many disadvantages, how can he not be defeated? ”
Long Zhaoyan snorted coldly and said, "Lu Zheng'er, I have not been very convinced, so what if I am only high?" In this era, the world should be determined by force, and the heart of the father and the emperor, this time this little boy is only afraid that he will be belittled, and he is afraid that this talented man in Jiangnan will be difficult to make a comeback in the future. ”
The monk said: "There will definitely be no comeback, because Your Majesty hates him!" The world belongs to Your Majesty, where does Dakang still have a foothold for him? He wants to be a talent, His Majesty can be kind to let him go to Beiyan to be a talent, anyway, in the land of great prosperity, there is no place for him to stand! ”
When the monk said this, Long Zhaoyan and his monarch and ministers both laughed, and Long Zhaoyan was in a happy mood at this time, only feeling that the great country was under his control, and that feeling really made him proud in his life.
The world is mine, what the first talent, what invincible father, and everything that used to be high and high, all of them were trampled under his feet, he looked around and left, and looked at the flags on the left and right, and the armor of nearly 100,000 troops was bright.
100,000 troops act together, that momentum is really blood-pumping, now Long Zhaoyan only needs to do one thing, that is, to march into Shandong, calm down all the things in Shandong, and the world will be obedient from now on, and there will be no worries anymore!
He thought so in his heart, and was thinking of the place of pride, when suddenly he came to report, and there was an uproar in the Chinese army's tent.
Long Zhaoyan strode into the Zhongjun tent, only to hear the scout kneeling on the ground, trembling all over: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something is wrong!" The capital was besieged, Lu Zheng gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses to besiege the capital, the nine gates of the capital were in an emergency, and the prince ...... The prince can't stand it! ”
Long Zhaoyan's face changed drastically, he only felt cold for a while, his eyes widened, he didn't believe his ears, and said, "This ...... How is this possible? How can it be? ”
Dong Fangyong, the general of the right guard, said: "Your Majesty, Lu Zheng is treacherous and cunning, since he was the head of the march, Cao and Zhao have many constraints on him, so on the one hand, he divided and wooed the sergeants of Cao and Zhao, one of them only gave them 20,000 military horses, and he himself led 70,000 elites.
This time, His Majesty led the army to defeat Cao Weiming's 20,000 soldiers and horses, but Lu Zheng released the bait. As for Shandong's reinforcements, Lu Zheng urged Zhao Chongqian to cross the Huai River to the east, but his own 70,000 soldiers and horses were hidden around Gyeonggi, and when His Majesty sent troops to recruit in person, he suddenly attacked the emptiness of the capital......"
Long Zhaoyan's hands and feet couldn't help trembling, he looked around and muttered, "What should I do?" What to do? ”
The monk said on the side: "Your Majesty, the only way to do this is to rescue immediately, this place is only more than 300 miles away from the capital, and it will only take a day and a night to arrive in a quick attack."
Lu Zheng's soldiers are only 70,000 horses, and most of them are government soldiers from Henan and Hebei, and their combat power cannot be compared with the guards at all.
We are now resolute in returning to the reinforcements, and Lu Zheng will be caught in Gyeonggi, the land of Gyeonggi is a horse and a flat river, and his 70,000 horses and horses cannot escape, Your Majesty can completely sweep away all the threats in Gyeonggi with this battle! ”
Long Zhaoyan roared, "Then what are you waiting for? Give me all the help, come back......"
Dong Fangyong said: "Your Majesty, our soldiers are all flesh and blood, running three hundred miles in two days, not only the horsepower is unbearable, but the soldiers will also be exhausted. ”
Long Zhaoyan said: "We have 100,000 soldiers and horses, most of them are cavalry, although we are tired from running for three hundred miles, how can we say that we have lost our combat strength?"
The capital is our foundation, and if we don't come back and lose the foundation, it will be over! ”
"Report! Wei Xiang's secret folding! ”
When Wei Xuan's secret fold arrived, Long Zhaoyan opened the secret fold and only looked at it a few times, his brows immediately furrowed, and said, "Wei Xuan, Wei Xuan!" This old man is really old and confused. A few days ago, I was persuaded hard to let me never leave the capital.
Today, he said that I don't need to care about the safety of the capital, and going to Shandong immediately is the way to achieve the great cause. Tell me, is he contradicting himself? ”
Dong Fangyong said: "Your Majesty, although Wei Xiang contradicts himself, the last general thinks that the master of the Dao is also contradictory. When His Majesty was living in the capital, he persuaded His Majesty every day to send troops to sweep Shandong.
But today, His Majesty ushered in the opportunity to enter Shandong, but Master Dao Duan persuaded His Majesty to return to the capital, isn't this a contradiction? ”
Long Zhaoyan was stunned for a while, and said for a while: "General Dong, I know your loyalty, but if you want to achieve great things, you must first stabilize the foundation, and only when the foundation is stable can you be invincible."
I have made up my mind, the whole army immediately returned to help, immediately set out, march day and night, there can be no moment's delay! ”
Long Zhaoyan gave an order, the armies of the 12 guards of Gyeonggi immediately pulled out, marched all the way to the capital, the army marched for a day and night, the soldiers approached Juyong Pass, and suddenly reported that the camp of the Left Guard Army was attacked by Lu Zheng's army, and the general of the Left Guard Army was killed on the spot in the northwest of Tie Zheng, and 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Left Guard Army were killed and wounded!
Long Zhaoyan was shocked when he received the report, and he hurriedly ordered the Twelve Guards to quickly move closer, and not to give the enemy a chance to break through.
Long Zhaoyan's will had just gone down, and immediately there was a report, saying that Dong Fangyong of the Right Guard Army led his troops to surrender to the enemy, and more than 10,000 soldiers of the Right Guard Army were all under Lu Zheng's command!
The left and right guards were destroyed and surrendered to the enemy, Long Zhaoyan was so angry that he immediately ordered the whole army to concentrate and suddenly attack Juyong Pass, wanting to fight to the death with Lu Zheng at Juyong Pass.
The two armies fought for a day and night in the pass, Lu Zheng was defeated and retreated, Long Zhaoyan led the army to drive straight to Gyeonggi, in Gyeonggi border Yuquan Mountain, there was a report, Cheng Zuo Ying Yangwei was attacked by Lu Zheng, a guard and horses were killed and wounded more than half, and then it was reported that the Zuowu Guard was attacked......
Long Zhaoyan immediately went crazy, his 100,000 horses were taken out of the capital, and he ran back and forth for 300 miles, and more than half of the 100,000 horses were lost, seeing that the soldiers around him were becoming scarcer and scarcer, he really couldn't help but drip blood!
"Lu Zheng'er, the bullying is too much, the bullying is too much!" Long Zhaoyan was so angry that he couldn't help beating his chest. A general came to report, saying: "Your Majesty, Lu Zheng's army moves like the wind, coming and going without a trace, it is really difficult to catch its traces, for today's plan, we can only fortify around Yuquan Mountain, and then slowly move closer to the capital, and only after entering the capital can we keep safe!" ”
Long Zhaoyan looked around and said coldly, "What do you say?" Do you all see it that way? ”
No one around answered, everyone lowered their heads, and said to the monk: "Your Majesty, the poor monk has no face to plot for His Majesty anymore!" Lu Zheng is as treacherous as a fox, he acts like this so that His Majesty's soldiers can't return to the capital! ”
Long Zhaoyan smashed his fist several cases, his heart was really dripping blood, and now he understood Lu Zheng's intentions. Lu Zheng never thought of really attacking the capital, and the attack he did was to lure the enemy.
The little force in Lu Zheng's hands, and without heavy siege equipment, how could he break through a high-walled and fortified city like the capital? If Long Zhaoyan didn't leave the capital, Lu Zheng would have no way to fight!
But on the contrary, Long Zhaoyan complied with his intention to make a royal expedition, Lu Zheng was also very generous, and directly let Cao Weiming's 20,000 horses be cannon fodder, Long Zhaoyan won a big victory in the first battle, and his morale immediately increased, and he really regarded himself as a victorious and invincible general!
And at this time, Lu Zheng attacked the capital again, and the emptiness of the capital made Long Zhaoyan wake up like a dream, and he was in a hurry when he wanted to return to help.
The key is that Lu Zheng's re-attack on the capital is also a feint, and when Long Zhaoyan comes back to help, Lu Zheng's siege is fake, and the halfway ambush is true, and the two ambushes will make Long Zhaoyan suffer enough, and more than half of the troops at hand will be lost.
Long Zhaoyan's mind was full of thoughts, and after thinking about all these things one by one, he regretted it more and more, and couldn't help beating his chest, and he said for a long time: "Lu Zheng, even Lingxiu is not an opponent, and I am even worse!" There is no trace of this fang's actions, and the use of soldiers is even more elusive, true and false, false and real are really difficult to distinguish! ”
Long Zhaoyan paused, and said: "Now it seems that since Lu Zheng let me out of the capital, he should not be ready to let me go back to the capital, Wei Xiang understood this, so he made a secret fold so that I didn't need to care about the capital, and let me go directly to Shandong!"
Wei Xiang, I have failed you, your words are golden and jade! ”
Long Zhaoyan paused and said: "That's fine, the so-called remedy, it's not too late." Although we are close to the capital here, there are already several barriers in front of us, and these barriers must have been occupied by Lu Zheng.
We are a tired army, and if we rush into the army, we will inevitably encounter a greater crisis, so I have sent an order to let the armies camp and rest first. After the rest is ready, we leave the capital and go straight to Shandong, where we will fight a decisive battle! ”
"Coax!"
As soon as Long Zhaoyan's words came out, everyone in the audience was stunned, and many generals couldn't believe their ears, my God, Long Zhaoyan didn't go east for a long time, so he had to wait until he was more than half of the loss to go east, just with the tens of thousands of horses in Long Zhaoyan's hands, would he also want to chase Shandong?
Immediately, many of the generals of the guard knelt on the ground to admonish, and one by one they burst into tears and spoke earnestly. Long Zhaoyan looked at these generals and muttered, "How about you?" Do you want me to throw myself into the net now, so that the child surnamed Lu will be cut by a thousand cuts? ”
Everyone knelt on the ground, and they were all silent, indeed, Long Zhaoyan figured out what happened, and the situation he said made it impossible for the generals to argue.
Although there is only a distance of more than 100 miles to the capital, this 100-mile road is bound to be full of dangers, you must know that now Long Zhaoyan's military strength is already in a weak position, not to mention that Lu Zheng occupies a favorable position, even if the two sides open a posture to attack under the same circumstances, Lu Zheng has the ability to gain the upper hand.
However, Rao is like this, Long Zhaoyan's decision is really incredible, and then discard the capital at this time, from now on Long Zhaoyan will become a rootless grass, before Long Zhaoyan had 100,000 military horses, and there is a high probability that Shandong's affairs can be determined.
Now that Long Zhaoyan has tens of thousands of people on hand, can Shandong's affairs still be decided? Once it can't be decided, everything will be buried, and such an ending is really terrifying to think about!
