Chapter 561: Seeing Death and Not Saving
Gongzi Ang and the others felt that it was not the time to send troops.
It is necessary to wait for the Mu family army to be severely damaged, or more than half of the tiger army is killed or wounded, and the Qi army and the Zhao army will attack with thunder, taking advantage of the exhaustion of the tiger army to clean up the mess.
Get the most out of the least effort.
The scouts of the Zhao army were like a hundred ghosts walking at night, shuttling through the wilderness, and the battlefield situation was continuously transmitted.
The night is dark.
A convoy of more than 100 people arrived outside Yangchun City as soon as possible.
The leading lieutenant explained his intentions, shouted to the defenders at the head of the city, and anxiously asked to enter the city.
This team came from the west to protect Zhao Huanrong and other royal families, royal women and children, and traveled a long way.
After the defenders of the city reported to the city, they sent people to slowly lower the drawbridge and open the city gate to allow the carriages and horses to enter the city.
Zhao Huanrong entered the city and whispered to the groom to drive to the City Lord's Mansion, looking forward to seeing Ji Xuanling as soon as possible.
Before leaving, she didn't know what was going on, and she didn't feel that the atmosphere was faintly wrong.
The atmosphere in the palace was cold, and the city was preparing for war.
Along the way, I met many soldiers who were rushing to the capital, as if a big war was about to break out.
Zhao Huanrong inquired about the leading lieutenant and learned that the Mu brothers had defected in the north, and the Mu family army and the northern coalition army were about to break through the defense line of the Ram Yue and kill the Beijing division like locusts in transit.
Entering the mansion and seeing Ji Xuanling, Zhao Huanrong hurriedly shouted: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, save the imperial brother." ”
Maybe it was because of the tiring travel, when Zhao Huanrong stepped forward, Ji Xuanling felt that her face was haggard and tired, compared to before, it looked distressing.
Looking at Zhao Huanrong, and the royal family and royal ladies who followed her, Ji Xuanling asked in a low voice: "Speak slowly, what happened to make you so anxious?" ”
Zhao Huanrong knew that Zhao Chen resented Ji Xuanling, and he couldn't wait to catch him and imprison him in prison and torture him to death. And Ji Xuanling has been coveting Dakang for a long time, and the army arrived in Gaotang Prefecture and prepared to invade Dakang.
However, she also knew that when life and death were at stake, among the princes, only the Qin State, governed by Ji Xuanling, could provide them with a place to save their lives.
After a short rest, Zhao Huanrong told Ji Xuanling everything he knew.
His face turned red, and he said anxiously: "Brother-in-law, the scout reported that the Mu brothers defected in the northern Xinjiang and won over the coalition army to attack the Ram general." General Ram could not hold on to the reinforcements, the northern front collapsed, and the Mu family army and the coalition army drove straight in, possibly entering the Beijing division.
According to the temperament of the Mu brothers, they must have sent troops to sack the capital again and rob the royal daughters, and the elder brother was in a precarious situation.
Brother-in-law, the Qin army is stationed in Gaotang Prefecture, and it is at most a day's journey from northern Xinjiang, I hope that my brother-in-law will look at my sister's face and quickly send troops to help General Ram, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
When she learned of the war in Northern Xinjiang, she wanted to return to Beijing to assist Zhao Chen, and the captain obeyed Zhao Chen's instructions and forcibly brought her and the palace ladies to Yangchun City.
Recalling the scene where Mu Jiajun broke into the capital to burn, kill and loot, she fled for her life among the displaced people, and Zhao Huanrong was afraid that the nightmare would come again.
Knowing that the battle in northern Xinjiang had begun, Ji Xuanling couldn't help but be secretly happy.
In this way, no matter who won the final victory, Zhao Chen's Tiger Ben army suffered a heavy blow.
Whether the Qin army marched westward, occupied the territory of the Mu brothers, or challenged Zhao Chen to replace him, the obstacles they faced were greatly reduced.
Ji Xuanling looked surprised, pretended not to know, and asked in surprise: "How is it possible for the Mu family brothers to betray the royal family?" ”
If his guess was correct, Zhao Huanrong came to Yangchun City, and most of the envoys sent by Zhao Chen also arrived at the front line of Gaotang Prefecture.
Previously, Zhao Huanrong said that the ram could not hold out until the reinforcements arrived, and he estimated that Zhao Chen withdrew the tiger army in Jiangzhou and Gaotang Prefecture and let them rush to the north to help.
Otherwise, Zhao Chen would not have been able to send the army to the northern Xinjiang to rescue.
Recently, the Tiger Ben army led by Zhao Rui, Zhang Tang, Kong Sheng, and Huang Fuxiong must have partially evacuated.
Zhao Huanrong didn't know that Ji Xuanling pretended to be stupid, and she said anxiously: "The Mu family brothers did betray the imperial brother. The imperial brother sent an envoy to pass the edict, ordering the second imperial brother and others to lead the army to withdraw from Jiangzhou and Gaotang Prefecture. General Zhang was instructed to lead his army to the north to assist General Ram in resisting the Mujia army and the northern coalition army.
Brother-in-law, brother is tantamount to opposing you, when you are in danger, you can't see death without help! ”
She looked forward to Ji Xuanling's troops, after all, the cavalry marched faster, the sound of the Qin Tiger Cavalry shook the north, and the coalition army was huge, and she might not dare to block the Qin army head-on.
It's a pity that Zhao Huanrong's personality is too simple.
She didn't know that neither Zhao Chen nor Ji Xuanling could tolerate each other in their eyes.
In his eyes, compared with personal feelings, the interests of the country are paramount.
Now Dakang is in distress, Ji Xuanling is impossible to help, when the Qin State is in distress, Zhao Chen will take advantage of the fire to rob and fall into the well.
Ji Xuanling bowed his head, his face did not change, and he whispered: "A large number of Qin troops died in Gaotang Prefecture, and they have strong hostility towards the Tiger Ben Army and Dakang, and they can't wait to kill Dakang to take revenge, how can they save their enemies."
Besides, Kong Sheng and Zhang Tang are good at fighting, and they can rush to the north as soon as possible, and they can also save Ram Yue, block the Mu family army, and the northern coalition army.
At present, Qin Junzhi is in Jiangzhou and Gaotang Prefecture, and it is impossible to leave the two places. ”
"Brother-in-law!"
Zhao Huanrong shouted!
The Qin army is not moving, and the situation in northern Xinjiang is confusing!
Ji Xuanling didn't dwell on this matter, and comforted: "Since Kyoto is dangerous, do you plan to stay in Yangchun City, or go to Shendu and accompany your sister!" ”
Zhao Huanrong glared at Ji Xuanling fiercely, and said dissatisfied: "I will stay in Yangchun City, if the capital is in crisis, I will accompany my brother to fight to the death." ”
"Don't threaten me with death!"
Ji Xuanling said coldly, and told the maid to take Zhao Huanrong and the others to the inner courtyard and arrange a place for them to live.
Princess Fuyao and Princess Ruyi live in the inner courtyard, they monitor Zhao Huanrong, and before the crisis in northern Xinjiang is resolved, Zhao Huanrong does not want to leave.
When the hall is quiet.
Ji Xuanling sat alone, thinking with his cheeks back.
Zhao Chen's choice was basically the same as he expected.
A large number of Tiger Ben troops withdrew, and the enemies of the Qin army were sharply reduced.
Not only Jiangzhou, but Gaotang Prefecture was exposed in front of the eyelids of the Qin army's tiger riders, and the road leading to the territory of the Mu family brothers was suddenly unimpeded.
To put it bluntly, the betrayal of the Mu family brothers and Zhao Chen's decision is equivalent to giving up Jiangzhou and Gaotang Prefecture to Qin.
For the Qin State, it is equivalent to a windfall from heaven!
Guo Jikang, Lin Jianlu, Ruan Xinghe, Xu Wenda, Jia Wendao and others arrived one after another.
Ji Xuanling just told everyone about the situation in northern Xinjiang, the changes in Jiangzhou and Gaotang Prefecture, and the guards outside reported that Zhao Rui entered the city alone and asked to see him outside the mansion.
Hearing this, Gongsun Ang said sharply: "Your Majesty, Zhao Rui came late at night, it can be seen that the situation in northern Xinjiang has reached a critical moment, and the last general asked to lead the army to attack Zhao Rui's Tiger Army to avenge the Qin army that died in battle." ”
"Don't worry, listen to Zhao Rui!" Ji Xuanling vetoed Gongsun Ang's request to send troops to attack the Huben army.
