Chapter 103: The Tragic Situation of King Qin's Army
Li Xuekai was holding a cup of tea with Erlang's legs crossed, and he was still watching them quarrel, when he was suddenly focused by so many eyes, he couldn't react for a while: "You talk about yours, I just look at it." "Your Majesty, do you think we should fight or defend first?" Li Xuekai thought about it, Xu Yuan was very powerful in fighting, plus Qin Qi. Huaibei has no chance of winning at all. "Let's defend, recuperate, I think the people are also difficult."
The ministers stopped talking as if they had discussed it, and the silence made Li Xuekai himself cough in embarrassment: "Since that's the case, then let's stop here today and disperse." When it came time for him to stamp the holy decree, he was surprised to find that the decree on the holy decree was actually fought on all fronts!
The eunuch who delivered the decree saw that his face was wrong, and also urged: "Your Majesty, you just need to stamp a seal, you don't have to look so carefully." Li Xuekai looked at it carefully again, and didn't mention a word about defense. He was furious and kicked over the eunuch who passed the decree: "I don't want to stamp this seal today, you get out of here!" ”
Seeing that the eunuch who had been heralding the decree walked out with a rolling belt, he asked his personal attendant, "What about the attendants who followed me in the past, where are they now?" The eunuch replied without leaking: "They are foreign men, and they can't easily enter the palace, and they are all officials outside the palace, so there is nothing wrong with them." ”
"What if I want to see them?" "I'm afraid, it's not in accordance with the rules." Li Xuekai approached him and lowered his voice and said, "I, isn't it a rule? Then the eunuch said no more, no matter what he asked. He said that if he refused to stamp it, no one would pay attention to him again, and he was the only one left here.
All the people who used to be with him are now missing. He checked the list of officials in the ministry, and there was no one familiar with him, this is really an empty dynasty, a good puppet emperor. In fact, it doesn't matter if he is not here, what the Bright Sect wants is not an emperor, but a lord who is forced to rebel by the Great Zhou.
Here, the only thing he is free to do is read books. Li Xuekai found the journal of the Bright Sect in the imperial study, and saw the reason why he was under house arrest here: when King Qin, this group of people wanted to use King Qin's army to enter Gyeonggi and cultivate their own forces in Gyeonggi, but the logistics king failed, and the general Wang Bin was killed in battle.
"It's obvious that I'm too anxious, otherwise, I wouldn't have lost so badly." Li Xuekai muttered to himself. The eunuch who served next to him was distracted while pouring the tea, burned his hand, and the tea bowl was broken. "Slaves deserve to die, slaves deserve to die." He couldn't stop kowtowing and apologize, but Li Xuekai thought that originally, the 700,000 army should not have died so quickly, even if he cut 700,000 watermelons, he couldn't all be killed so quickly.
"Look up." The eunuch looked up, and when he looked closely, he saw that he had an Adam's apple. "Bold slave, do you know that pretending to be a servant is a sin of killing the head." "Holy Mingjian, slaves and maids are not fake servants." "Then how do you have an Adam's apple?" "The slave maid was originally a pawn in the Lingnan Army in King Qin's army, but when the army was defeated, he wanted to flee back to his hometown, and he didn't want to be caught halfway and lose something, so he became a slave."
"So you didn't come to be a slave of your own volition, and I didn't come to be the emperor of your own volition. You should be oriented to me, why are you so to me? "Your Majesty, although the palace seems peaceful now, it is far from something that you and I can compete with. We can't get out and we don't have power. Behold, if there is a choice, who will be the slave? ”
What he said was indeed in his heart, as a little eunuch, he was not in charge of the power in the palace, if he rashly helped a puppet emperor, he was afraid that things would not be done, and he would annoy the Bright Sect, and neither of them would end well. "Do you know where those who followed me in the past are now?" "The slave didn't hear about it." Li Xuekai nodded, as expected.
"Li Gongfu is rich and at ease, he shouldn't want more." "I originally just wanted to flee to Luoyang to save my life, my subordinates have violated too many national laws, and they have angered Long Yan, Your Majesty's wedding is only afraid that it is a trap, I really don't dare to go." "Aren't all of you big guys supposed to be on top?"
"There is naturally a higher pressure on you, in fact, the big man is the same as the little person, you must be extra cautious between breathing and breathing, otherwise it will be an abyss. You see what you have lost is a treasure, but what can be exchanged for it is at least worry-free about food and clothing. I seem to be on top, but I'm actually being held back by people everywhere. ”
The two of them have suffered a lot of grievances in the same wandering foreign land, and now they are even more emotional when they talk in the imperial study. "You help me find out the whereabouts of those people in my palace, and if I can regain power, then I will help you return to your hometown." As soon as the word was decided, the two of them left the imperial study, and they were the master and servant who were at odds again.
For the Illuminati, there are too few historical records to make it difficult to arrange troops reasonably according to their characteristics. Qin Qi and Xu Yuan had also been discussing this matter on the march, but the military department did not give a suitable plan, so they could only play on the spot when the time came.
When they arrived at the border of Huaibei and were encamping, they saw the battle flags fluttering on the city tower in the distance, and the two glanced at each other, a little puzzled. Do the people of Huaibei still want to face each other head-on? "Pass the order, everyone stop camping and burying pots to cook, and capture this city before tonight, I invite everyone to eat meat!"
As soon as Xu Yuan's words came out, the soldiers picked up the weapons in their hands and cheered, this battle was like a bamboo, and the city was really pulled out before the time, and Xu Yuan also fulfilled his promise and gave them five pigs. In the next few days, Wang Jun was like a bamboo, and the good news was repeated, Zhaoqian was overjoyed, and hurriedly rewarded Qin Qi for being promoted to the second-class duke, and Xu Yuan was crowned the uncle of Chuzhou.
has a meritorious service and is knighted, but Xu Yuan is not happy, now in this year, it is really not a good thing to have a knighthood, and he may not know when he will send his life to Gyeonggi. This title was originally promised by Xu Yuan when they sent Zhaoqian all the way to the throne, but later his face really frightened the soldiers, and no one dared to mention this matter to him.
Now in the battle situation in Huaibei, Xu Yuan and they went deep into the hinterland of the enemy army, and there were only three days left from Luoyang, the capital of the Ming Kingdom. Although Qin Qi's purpose is not the same as his, he has no interest in killing a single person, what he wants is to exterminate the living force of the Bright Sect and make it difficult for them to turn over.
