Chapter 584: Decisive Battle
King Zhongshun was also a little disappointed when he saw Prince Yixiao shaking his head, but he thought about it, although Prince Yixiao was close to the emperor Taishang and others, but such a secret would probably only be in the hands of the emperor and the emperor from ancient times to the present.
But now that the mountains and rivers were exhausted, it was still necessary to fight for it, so the king of Zhongshun turned around and went straight to the small building where the emperor was imprisoned.
When the Emperor was still reading a book leisurely there, he saw that King Zhongshun had gone and returned, and his eyes showed a hint of surprise, and then he immediately calmed down.
King Zhongshun came to the emperor and arched his hand and said: "Brother Huang, now it has reached the point of exhaustion, please don't have any more prejudices, I heard that the Emperor Taishang left a secret passage when he died, please explain it to the imperial brother, let's go south from this secret passage and regain our strength." ”
After listening to this, the emperor smiled and shook his head, he knew this secret passage, and the emperor did explain it when he was dying, but it was the queen mother who controlled this secret passage.
And the relationship between the emperor and the empress dowager is like water and fire, and the emperor can't force the empress dowager to do anything under Jia Ke's coercion.
King Zhongshun still shook his head and was angry when he saw that the emperor had arrived, so he directly pulled out his sword, pointed at the emperor's throat and said, "Tell me the location of the secret passage, otherwise don't blame the courtiers for being polite." ”
When the emperor saw the sword at his throat, he was also a little weak-hearted, and he had already seen that King Zhongshun was a little crazy now, so he could only say: "My father did leave a secret passage before he died, but the secret passage was in the hands of the queen mother, and I, the emperor, really don't know." ”
After hearing this, the king of Zhongshun ignored the emperor and turned around and walked out of the small building and went straight to the front hall.
And Prince Yoshihyo was now sitting there frowning and looking outward, and he was waiting for King Chungshun to come back and deliver the news.
As soon as King Zhongshun entered the hall, Prince Yixiao hurriedly won and said, "How is it? Any news? ”
"The emperor said, only the queen mother knows where the entrance of the secret passage is, let's enter the palace now, and let the queen mother tell us the location."
The two of them glanced at each other in the hall, and then their eyes became firm, for the sake of their lives, they couldn't care about any etiquette.
So these people went straight to the palace with their men and horses again, and when they entered the palace, when they arrived at Ningshou Palace, they found that the queen mother was not here.
King Zhongshun casually caught a little eunuch, and when he asked, he learned that the queen mother had already left Fengzao Palace.
So this group of people hurried to Fengzao Palace again.
When I arrived at Fengzao Palace, I saw that it was already empty.
King Zhongshun still did not give up, and ordered his guards to search inside and outside the Fengzao Palace, but they did not see the Queen Mother, Jia Yuanchun and the child.
Prince Yixiao frowned, and said to King Zhongshun with a calm face: "I'm afraid these people have already left." ”
King Zhongshun still did not give up, and directly ordered his guards and said: "Go and gather people to search the palace for me again, I don't believe that this secret passage can be hidden in the sky." ”
So thousands of people flocked into the palace and began to search around the palace, but they searched for a day and a night, and there was no eyebrow.
King Zhongshun arrested the eunuchs and grandmothers in Ningshou Palace and tortured them, and he didn't get any useful information from these people.
By now, the king of Zhongshun is dead.
King Zhongshun and Prince Yixiao returned to the palace of Zhongshun Palace, and the two of them sat in the hall silently, thinking about their results, and couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
In the end, it was Prince Yixiao who spoke, "Virtuous nephew, even if you haven't found the tunnel, you have to find a way to leave a root for our royal family." ”
After hearing this, King Zhongshun glanced at Prince Yixiao with gloomy eyes, and did not say anything, but lowered his head and pondered.
Now the capital can't get out, if you want to keep your bloodline, you can only hide the child to the people.
"Uncle Huang, we have now reached the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and it is impossible to get out of the city, so we can only hide one or two young children among the people."
After listening to this, Prince Yixiao nodded, and then said: "What you said is very right, the capital is so big, with a population of one million, let's hide a few children, Jia Ke is looking for a needle in a haystack if he wants to find it." ”
However, King Zhongshun was not as optimistic as Prince Yixiao, "Uncle Huang, Jia Ke has in his hands the secret guards established by our imperial court for hundreds of years, which can be said to be pervasive, if those children who have already been governor are sent to the people, I am afraid that they will soon be exposed." ”
Prince Yixiao was immediately shocked when he heard this, and then he understood what King Zhongshun meant, he was going to give up most of his bloodline, leaving only one or two children under the age of one.
King Zhongshun glanced at Prince Yixiao, and saw that his face was full of unbearability, and he said helplessly: "Those children who have become governors are used to enjoying glory and wealth, and they must be different from ordinary children when they go to the people. ”
Prince Yoshitaka nodded after hearing this, he knew that this was also true.
Seeing that Prince Yixiao agreed to his request, King Zhongshun continued: "There is a baby in my house, and I wonder if there are any children under the age of one in the emperor's palace. ”
"I have a grandson who has just been born, and it seems that it is also his fate."
"Since this is the case, it is without further ado, I will send someone to secretly send these two children to the people, prepare more treasures for their adoptive parents, and wait until the capital is calm, so that they can take their children to Jiangnan to buy some fields and live, which can be regarded as preserving the last bloodline of our two families."
After hearing this, Prince Yixiao hurriedly instructed the king of Zhongshun, "Don't give them too many silver taels, for fear that these people will not have enough hearts, and finally take our children to make contributions." ”
The king of Zhongshun agreed, and went out to make arrangements.
And while King Chungshun was searching the palace, great changes took place outside the city.
Under Fan Kang's order, the Jiedu envoys and the general soldiers around the capital led the soldiers to the vicinity of the capital.
Niu Jizong saw this situation on the city tower and knew that the general trend had gone.
As for the old and weak soldiers under his command, it is probably a fantasy to confront these people below.
Fan Kang summoned all the generals in the big tent of the Chinese army and urgently discussed a few times whether to attack the capital immediately.
Although all the generals agreed to attack the city immediately, Fan Kang did not rush to conclusions. Instead, the flying pigeon passed a letter to Jia Ke to inform Jia Ke of the current situation and let Jia Ke make a decision.
Besides, at this time, Jia Ke and the Tatars have been confronting each other, and it has been a month.
The two sides can be said to have met several times, and they were all evenly matched.
Arslen Khan also learned the original lesson, and deployed two thousand ironclad cavalry in his four weeks. is to prevent being rushed to the camp by Jia Ke, but he is scared by Jia Ke.
Jia Ke is also a little dazed now, he has consumed a lot of money and food in the past month, but he has not broken the Tatars, it seems that the Tatars are also smarter than before, and they did not go out of the camp to fight with themselves.
And it was in this situation that Jia Ke received a letter from Fan Kang.
Jia Ke was silent for a while after reading the letter, the capital was really in turmoil as he thought, but he didn't expect that this time not only the royal family was involved, but even the relatives and friends of the Jia family, such as the four kings and eight princes who he was more relieved, also participated in this rebellion.
However, Jia Ke thought about it carefully and understood that if he won the world, these people would be close to Jia Ke, and in the end they would just be a petty official, and now they all have titles, and it is self-evident who they tend to be in this comparison.
Jia Ke didn't have the heart to confront Arslen Khan here anymore, and his heart now flew to the capital.
So the next day, Jia Ke led the whole battalion out of the camp together, just thinking of fighting to the death with the Tatars.
Arslen Khan was in the camp, and after getting the news that Jia Ke was pouring out of the nest, he knew that Jia Ke was ruthless this time.
Arslen Khan did not go out of the camp to fight against Jia Ke, but ordered everyone to send men and horses to guard the camp, and anyone who dared to leave the camp without permission would be immediately engaged in military law.
Jia Ke had long expected that the other party would not fight with him in the field, so he was not disappointed, but ordered the infantry to keep moving forward, and the cavalry to move on the left and right flanks, and this time he must break through the Tatar camp.
Approaching the Tatar camp, Jaco immediately ordered catapults to drop boulders at the camp, and at the same time ordered the English longbowmen to fire arrows at them.
And the sword player at the front kept approaching with a large shield.
At this time, Arslen Khan had already come to the front to command, he looked at the approaching Southern Korean army, and hurriedly ordered the arrows to be released.
However, because the Tatar bows and arrows were really a little powerful, they were at an absolute disadvantage when they shot at the English longbowmen.
As a result, they were suppressed by the English longbowmen, and they did not dare to come forward at all.
Coupled with the incessant throwing of boulders by catapults, the Tatar camp began to break down everywhere.
Arslen Khan saw that he was on the defensive side and was indeed inexperienced, so he could only order the cavalry to attack on both flanks at once.
And he personally rushed with the ironclad cavalry like Jia Ke's infantry, wanting to use the power of the ironclad cavalry to scatter the infantry.
These ironclad cavalry under the command of Arslen Khan were not Tatars, they were all Westerners from the Western Regions.
One of these people is tall and big, even the war horses under their crotches are also a lot taller than the eastern war horses, and even more so, they are all tanks when they charge up in iron armor.
Arslen Khan personally led these men to charge towards the infantry under the command of Jake.
Although these people under Jia Ke's command are elite, there is really not much way to encounter these Iron King Ba.
In just a few strokes, Jaco's infantry made the Tatars burst through a gap.
Jia Ke saw clearly behind the battle that if he didn't suppress these people, he was afraid that he would not be so easy to win this time.
Jacoe immediately ordered the English longbowmen to attack the ironclad cavalry.
The arrows shot by these successful hands are more than a meter long, and the power is very huge, and this row of bows and arrows is when they reach the ironclad cavalry, these ironclad cavalry are wearing iron armor, and they are also caught off guard by these English longbowmen, and the formation immediately begins to be chaotic.
