Chapter 340: The Coup d'état in the royal capital
At the beginning of October, a light snow fell between the heavens and the earth, Liu Yu and Chen Ba first rushed to the Kushan royal capital before winter, as an empire with a long history, although the Guishan royal capital can not be compared with Chang'an in terms of scale, but it is still a majestic and prosperous city in South Asia. Along with Liu Yu and Chen Baxian, there was also a force of about 300 people, all of which were broken into pieces and entered the Guishan Royal Capital, where they lurked. "I really didn't expect that the national strength of the Guishan people is also considerable!" After entering the city, Liu Yu looked at the street that was still lively, and frowned, he had seen the customs and customs of Guishuang in Jiangyuan before, but it was never as intuitive and objective as what he saw with his own eyes.
"No wonder the grandfather cares so much about Guishan, if they are also enemies of our Great Qin like the Huns and the Romans, I am afraid that the northwest region will also deploy heavy troops." Chen Baxian nodded when he heard this, the Kushan Empire was one of the four major empires in the Han Dynasty, although it was suppressed to the death since the founding of Great Qin, but there was no major turmoil in the country, and under the accumulation of several generations, the national strength was not bad, if they were a hero, I am afraid that it would really cause a lot of trouble to Great Qin.
"If it weren't for the fact that their current lord is seriously ill and the two princes are interested in the throne, I'm afraid they would have regrouped their armies and started a war against my Great Qin." Liu Yu's face was cold, he was good at the overall situation, and he knew that Guishuang was just being dragged down by the competition between the two princes in the country, otherwise how could they be so peaceful.
After the two of them walked around the city casually, they went to the inn opened by Cui Hao's men and stayed. Night. The two met the secret agent who was in charge of Guishan's intelligence, and to their surprise, this secret agent was actually a native of Guishan. Because he was not angry that his parents were killed by the nobles, he joined Cui Hao's command, and relied on little by little efforts to get his current status. "The two adults, Lengyan Jia is known as the Thunder Emperor in Guishan, and has a high prestige among ordinary soldiers and ordinary people. However, his help among the nobles and ministers was far inferior to that of his elder brother, and since his defeat to his grandfather in Tibet, even the Futu Sect, which had made him a protector, no longer seemed to be optimistic about him, and instead supported his brother. ”
"It seems that our Royal Highness the Second Prince is in a bad situation at the moment!" After listening to this, Chen Ba laughed at Liu Yu, and then said to the secret agent, "Let your people be ready to evacuate at any time." "Finished. So he let him retreat.
"It seems that Grandpa has already gotten the news, so he sent us here." Chen Ba looked at Liu Yu first and asked, "What are you going to do next?" ”
"Forcing Yan Jia to rebel." Liu Yu said in a deep voice. "The current situation is not in his favor, if he does not flee from the royal capital now. When his brother ascends the throne, I'm afraid he won't even have the slightest chance. ”
"When are you going to see him?" Chen Baxian's eyes jumped, and his eyes became sharp.
"I'll see him tonight." Liu Yu stood up and looked at the gloomy sky outside the window, they were here to bring war and death to Kushan.
In the evening, Lengyan Jia finally waited for the person sent by Li Ang, since he returned to China after suffering a defeat, he became more and more weak in the Guishan court, and a group of ministers who were originally attracted also became estranged from him, and then switched to his brother, and the Futu Sect was even more excessive, directly withdrawing his name as a protector, although he did not sever relations with him on the surface, but in fact it was not far behind.
"Your Royal Highness, who has become a great event since ancient times, are all ruthless, if Your Highness takes into account the brotherhood of father and son, I think Your Highness will sooner or later relieve himself of military power, surrender to Brother Ling, maybe you can keep your wealth and be a free man, it is better than doing this earthly deed." Seeing that Leng Yanjia was hesitant about what he and Liu Yu said, Chen Baxian sneered and said.
"No poison, no husband!" Leng Yanjia gritted his teeth and said this proverb of Daqin, and his face became extremely hideous, he planned to listen to the words of Liu Yu and Chen Baxian, lead the army to force the palace, and let his father write an edict of abdication to him, and fight with his eldest brother. Although Leng Yanjia knew that Liu Yu and Chen Baxian would never plan for him wholeheartedly, but there were no good land strategists around him, naturally no one could remind him of the danger, and now in the royal capital, there are only 30,000 loyal to his army, and he has no civil official support, and his eldest brother cannot be compared at all, even if he leads the army to force the palace successfully, as long as his eldest brother is ruthless enough, he will be charged with killing the king and killing his father, and he will be killed in the palace, even if he has an edict in his hand, it is useless, but at this moment, He only knew that if he didn't do it again, he would have no chance of ascending to the throne of Kushan.
The fewer people who know about this kind of thing like forcing the palace, the better, so Leng Yanjia listened to Liu Yu and Chen Baxian's words, and rushed to the palace overnight with only two thousand henchmen who were absolutely loyal to him, and at the same time sent henchmen to sneak out of the city and inform the troops loyal to him to make a good progress
Bei, although there are only 30,000 troops left in the hands of Lengyanjia Greasika, they are all the absolute elite of the Kushan army, as long as they can enter the city in the middle of the night and control the key places in the city, he will be sure of success.
Leng Yanjia did not let Liu Yu and Chen Ba leave first, but took them with him, he was not at ease with the two of them, Li Ang's methods made him jealous, for fear that there would be a conspiracy among them. However, he could never have imagined that Liu Yu and Chen Ba had already made a plan when they came first, knowing that if he adopted the strategy they offered, he would definitely stay by their side, so he behaved very calmly, making Leng Yanjia think that he had guessed wrong.
The noble god of soldiers, Leng Yanjia greasy Sejia had the idea of usurping the throne, how could he still hold the ambition that had been suppressed in his heart for many years, and went straight to the palace with two thousand henchmen and soldiers of the palace, and after approaching the palace, all the troops who encountered the patrol were killed, leaving no one alive, so that Liu Yu and Chen Baxian, who accompanied him, secretly sighed, this second prince of Guishan is worthy of the name of the Thunder Emperor, once he has made a decision, he will be resolute and resolute, and he will never drag mud and water, and he is a heroic figure.
When he came to the gate of the palace, the soldiers guarding the palace gate did not care when they saw the second prince and the dozen horsemen and horses accompanying him, and Lengyan Gya was also known as a prestige in the Kushan army, and although those soldiers stopped him, they did not think of guarding. "Your Highness came here late at night, I don't know what to do, I'll go and pass through!" The old king of Guishan is seriously ill, and the palace gate is guarded quite strictly, although he has been under the hands of Lengyan Jia, but the generals who guard the palace gate still do things according to the rules.
"You don't have to." Listening to Sen Leng's voice, the general only felt a heat in his heart, followed by a sharp pain, he looked down at his chest, and directly entered with a short sword without a chest, and it was Leng Yanjia himself who shot it, "Your Highness, you?" As soon as he had said these three words, Lengyan Jia had already drawn his short sword, and a rain of blood flew down, staining the snow on the ground red. At this time, more than a dozen henchmen beside him had already killed the thirty-six soldiers at the palace gate like lightning.
When the palace gate was controlled, the 2,000 cavalry of the main army, hidden in the darkness in the distance, immediately swarmed into the palace, and several of the henchmen of Lengyanka Greserga led their own soldiers and went straight to the palace of the palace guards, who had many of the old troops of the palace guards, and they wanted to persuade these people to do something together.
As long as he controls his father, the palace guards will fall to him, and then as long as the city gates are opened again and the elite troops outside the city are allowed to enter the city, the big thing will be decided.
Following Leng Yan Jia and Greasy Sejia all the way into the dormitory, Liu Yu and Chen Baxian couldn't help but be surprised, Leng Yan Jia Greasy Sejia's two thousand henchmen and personal soldiers, even compared to the elite of Daqin, they were not left behind, and for a while, the two of them had a higher evaluation of Leng Yan Jia Greasy Sejia, and their precautionary heart was also heavier, Li Ang handed over all the things of Guishuang to them to deal with, and they had to be cautious and cautious.
—
When he saw his son rushing into the dormitory with blood-stained soldiers in armor and slashing the chamberlain and palace maid at the door to the ground, the old king of Guishan knew that his son was here to force the palace, and there was no anger, and there was only a calm in the eyes of the old man who was dying, and he didn't even ask why his son did this, but just said indifferently to the trembling chamberlain beside him, "Go and get the white edict (unwritten edict) and the royal seal." ”
Seeing his father so indifferent, Leng Yanjia didn't know how to deal with it, and his murderous heart suddenly softened, the old man on the bed was none other than his biological father, no matter how much he didn't like him before, he always had his blood on his body.
"Compared to governing the country, you are not as good as your brother, and in terms of leading soldiers, he is not as good as you." The old man's voice sounded, and the old king of Guishan looked at his son who was standing in a daze, "Governing the country and military affairs, which one do you think should be more for the king?" The old king of Guishan took the white edict handed over by the chamberlain, wrote it tremblingly, and after writing it, he covered the royal seal.
"That's what you want?" Throwing the edict to his son, King Guishan sighed, he seemed to feel a little heartbroken for his son's disobedience, "Those two people are the generals of Great Qin!" He suddenly looked at Liu Yu and Chen Baxian, who had been quiet since they came in, and shook his head at his son, "Power is like a tiger, and if you lack resourcefulness, you will be counterattacked, you are seeking skin with a tiger!" ”
Leng Yan Jia listened to his father's words, his face was cloudy, and Liu Yu and Chen Baxian were also secretly shocked, they didn't expect that this dying old king of Guishan was such a person, and he saw the world so thoroughly, just these words made Leng Yan Jia have murderous intentions towards them in his heart, and he deserved to be the monarch of a country.
"Thank you, father, for making it happen!" Lengyanka was silent for a long time, and only squeezed out this sentence from his mouth, but his father could no longer hear it. On the bed, the old man had a mocking smile on his face, and he had already died quietly.
