Lianghe Yuzhou came to the imperial court's Qincha, and the Qincha went out to ruin Long Zhaohuan's good deeds, and Long Zhaohuan really hated it and gritted his teeth.
He was purely stealing chickens and rice, not only did he not get the Yuzhou army, but he lost 10,000 elite soldiers, which was simply unbearable for him.
When he heard that Lu Zheng was doing the trouble, he gritted his teeth with hatred for Lu Zheng for a while, he scolded Lu Zheng with a mouth, and after he was addicted to it, he said to the strategists around him:
"What do we do now? There are no soldiers available in Gyeonggi, and the money, grain, oil, and rice are almost exhausted, so we will all die without a place to bury! Long Zhaohuan said.
Left and right strategists, look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do! Long Zhaohuan was really irritable, and he led a few henchmen out of the palace and went straight to the Guiyin Temple in the western suburbs.
In the western suburbs of the Hidden Temple, the monk is no different from the past, he is still so flat, the ancient well is not waved, Long Zhaohuan stepped forward to ask for advice, couldn't help but bow his head and weep, and said: "Master Dao, Zhaohuan has always been thirsty for talent, thinking that he can move the master with sincerity, so that the master can plan for Zhaohuan!" Hey, it's a pity, Zhao Huan has repeatedly suffered setbacks, this time Zhao Huan went to Lianghe to earn the Yuzhou army, but he didn't expect to be killed by the Yuzhou army, the elite of the capital was ruined, the matter has come to this point, Zhao Huan has been cornered, and today I came to say goodbye to the master! โ
The monk frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "Why is the prince too depressed?" For today's plan, it is really when the prince is brewing great changes, in the past, the prince sat in the capital, and he had a heavy army in his hands, but it was difficult to decide. Now that the prince's hands are empty, is it still difficult to decide? โ
Long Zhaohuan was stunned and said, "Master Dao, Zhaohuan is dull, please ask the master to give advice!" โ
Master Dao Duan smiled and said, "Since there is nothing, why should the capital be concerned?" In ancient times, there was a record of the art of war 'retreating as the advance' policy, the prince is the prince of Dakang, and now Jinling is the new capital of Dakang, if the prince returns to Jinling at this time, he is still the prince, His Royal Highness said yes?
Therefore, the capital can't be kept, why doesn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince retreat to Jinling? When you arrive in Jinling, Your Royal Highness can gather the magnates of the capital, and the old ministers of Dakang, the so-called Jiangnan power lords, at first glance they seem to be menacing, but in fact, they are just a grass team that has just been built, and their biggest reliance is only Lu Zheng!
Lu Zheng is treacherous and resourceful, does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still lack advisers? This time, Lu Zheng made Cao Weiming the Lord of the Qincha, and his original intention was to deal with His Royal Highness the Prince!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince happened to be able to push the boat down the river at this time, pretending to be defeated and retreating to Jinling, but instead killed him in front of him. You are playing in Jinling, and Lu Zheng is strong, but after all, he is a courtier, is it possible that he really wants to rebel and become the target of the world? โ
When the monk said this, Long Zhaohuan was speechless for a long time, and he suddenly thought that he was still the prince of Dakang, and he had not yet established himself as the son of heaven! Since he is the prince of Dakang, it is natural that the capital can't hold back to Jinling, why haven't you thought about it?
Long Zhaohuan's heart gradually became lively, he groaned for a while and couldn't help but say: "But Master Dao, my father ordered me to guard the capital, if I abandon the capital like this and go south, what if my father blames me?" What should I do if the civil and military officials blame? I, the prince, will completely lose his prestige! โ
The monk laughed and said, "What's so difficult about this? You only need to repair a letter to Liaodong and express your willingness to give up the capital, how can the princess's character not take down the capital? As long as Liaodong sends troops and the troops come to the city, you can just withdraw, and you can go down to the south of the Yangtze River generously, even if it is Emperor Xinde, you can't say that you can't hold the capital.
After all, the capital is empty, and Cao Weiming, the Yuzhou army, is against you everywhere, so can the capital be held in this case? โ
The monk paused and said, "If the enemy is outnumbered, we need to retreat, and taking a step back is not a sign of weakness, but a charge of strength!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must know that the current situation in Jiangnan is also very delicate. It is impossible for His Majesty to let Lu Zheng alone be dominant, but at present, there is no one in the entire Jiangnan who can balance Lu Zheng. If His Royal Highness goes to Jiangnan, he can just neutralize this candidate.
Your Majesty uses you to balance Lu Zheng, and Lu Zheng uses Lu Zheng to balance you, and the two sides check and balance, this is the way of Emperor Xinde! โ
Countless thoughts instantly turned in Long Zhaohuan's mind, and I have to say that he was shocked by the Dao Monk's train of thought, but thinking about it carefully, the Dao Monk's suggestion was really feasible.
Long Zhaohuan has no confidence in guarding the capital at all, and now if he can't get the support of the two rivers in the capital, the capital will be a lonely city. The lonely city is isolated outside, and it occupies a military artery, and there is no army in such a place, Long Zhaohuan feels more and more powerless.
When he returned from the Guiyin Temple, he discussed the monk's strategy with Sun Chengzhong and others, and all the strategists thought that this plan was quite clever. But it needs to be very hidden, and it is absolutely impossible to leak the slightest rumor, especially not to let people know that there is a connection between Long Zhaohuan and Long Lingxiu.
Long Zhaohuan wrote a letter that night, and sent his secret spies to the north overnight, two days and one night, the news came from Liaodong in the north, Long Lingxiu said that he could go south, and received Long Lingxiu's reply, Long Zhaohuan finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, so he secretly began to prepare for the return to the south.
Long Zhaohuan stayed in the capital for three days, and received a report from a secret spy that about 100,000 men and horses of the Liaodong Army had crossed Yanshan from the north and were preparing to go south.
After receiving this news, Long Zhaohuan secretly did not announce it to me, but just instructed his henchmen and strategists to let everyone prepare immediately and be ready to return south at any time!
On this day, on the day when the Liaodong Army was in full swing to the south, suddenly Long Zhaohuan received a report from the cabinet, Lianghe Qincha, and Cao Weiming, the head of the household department, wrote to the prince, who was willing to lead 60,000 troops into the capital to assist Long Zhaohuan in defending the capital.
When Long Zhaohuan received this news, his face turned pale in an instant, and he said angrily: "What a Cao Weiming, do you think I don't know about his fake behavior?" This person is insidious and cunning, and he has done a lot of evil, and I haven't settled accounts with him last time, but now it's good, and I still want to come to the capital? He's daydreaming! โ
Long Zhaohuan scolded, naturally he didn't allow it, but soon the cabinet ministers, civil and military officials gathered in the East Palace, among the ministers, Su Xinghai was the leader, Su Xinghai said:
"Your Highness, this is an extraordinary time, the minister has to scout to report, the traitors of Liaodong have crossed Yanshan, and they will be able to enter the land of Gyeonggi in ten days, and the capital is already in danger, at this moment, if the capital cannot be defended, everyone is a sinner of Dakang!
In such a situation, Cao Weiming can focus on the overall situation, personally lead the army to vote, his sincerity is full, everyone works together, the purpose is to reject the traitors in Liaodong, how can the prince refuse people thousands of miles away? โ
Su Xinghai said this, all the ministers of civil and military affairs seconded the proposal, Long Zhaohuan was stupid, my God, is the Liaodong Army beating gongs and drums going south? Why did everyone in the capital know the news so quickly?
And why is Cao Weiming willing to enter Beijing at this time? He must have known about the Liaodong Army!
Now what? The Liaodong Army was brought over by Long Zhaohuan, if the Yuzhou Army is allowed to enter Beijing at this time, will it fight to the death with the Liaodong Army next?
As soon as he thought of this, Long Zhaohuan couldn't help but fight a cold war, he still clearly remembered the last battle of Gyeonggi, it was really nine deaths! Long Zhaohuan really didn't want to have that kind of experience again, what could he get by guarding the capital? Nothing to get wow!
"Ladies and gentlemen, this matter should be considered in the long run, after all, Cao Weiming and his people have a criminal record, and this palace can't ......"
Long Zhaohuan was about to use the procrastination trick and was about to delay this matter, but immediately received a report from the guards, saying that the Yuzhou army had broken through the east gate and entered the city directly, and the defenses of the capital had been the combat strength of the Yuzhou army.
Long Zhaohuan was so angry that his face turned green, and he couldn't help but roar: "Cao Weiming, the rebels and thieves are also!" That...... He had the audacity to ...... He...... He broke into the door without an edict, and he ...... Do you want to rebel? โ
Long Zhaohuan shouted left and right: "Listen to me, after Cao Weiming comes, the palace will punish him, and you must take him down for me......"
Long Zhaohuan was annoyed and angry here, jumping like thunder, but listening to a broken drink outside, Cao Weiming strode in and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Cao Weiming came to defend the capital and obeyed the order of the Son of Heaven, why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to take me?" โ
Long Zhaohuan looked at a person, the cow was tall and big, his face was full of beard and seemed to have Hu blood, looking at his face, his face was fierce and vicious, like a devil who wanted to choose people to devour, and the horizontal flesh on that face was daunting.
Long Zhaohuan wanted to be furious, but where could he say the words when he got out of his mouth?
Cao Weiming walked up to Long Zhaohuan and bowed, and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, from today onwards, Weichen will take over the defense of the capital!" All the soldiers in the capital obey my orders, and all the affairs in the capital need to be let me know! I am on the orders of Naiqin, if there is any offense, please forgive your Highness, haha! โ
Cao Weiming laughed, he looked around, and saw that Long Zhaohuan had a few guards with unkind faces, he looked at him and said, "Wait to see what I do?" Do Mo Feier and the others dare to rebel? โ
Several guards and Cao Weiming looked at each other, and the momentum was completely suppressed by him, Cao Weiming laughed and strode down. shouted loudly and said: "The army listens to the order, greets His Royal Highness the Prince, and asks His Royal Highness the Prince!" โ
Long Zhaohuan only heard a deafening roar from outside the East Palace: "Meet His Royal Highness the Prince, ask His Royal Highness the Prince!" โ
Hearing this deafening roar, Long Zhaohuan's heart instantly pulled cold, and at this moment he knew that he had completely lost control of the capital, and it became impossible for him to leave the capital......
At the thought of this, he sat down as if he had been emptied......
