Chapter 573: Heroic and Reckless Emperor
The war in Cangguo is fierce, but the war in Mangguo is not idle.
In order to involve the Mang Kingdom at this critical time and make the Mang Country unable to look north, the Blue Dragon Legion pursued a tightly biting tactic.
That is, from all aspects, entanglement of the Mang country.
The most obvious example is that the Blue Dragon Legion gathered 150,000 soldiers and horses, divided into six routes, and marched together to the city of Mangguo.
In this way, the most obvious is that the soldiers and horses of the Mang State are all deployed to the east and south borders, and they dare not draw a little force to support the Three Kingdoms Alliance, or to deal a blow to the Cangguo army that is in the middle of a fierce battle from behind.
"Damn! How so!"
Emperor Mangguo scolded secretly, according to his qualifications, he has been on the throne for less than five years, and he knows very little about the inside story of the war and Jin that year, and he has never been to Cangguo, but he has only gotten some scattered news from the mouths of merchants and envoys.
However, it was this kind of word of mouth that made him very frightened and unyielding.
After all, this world still values birth very much, in his eyes, Cangguo is the kind of mud leg who grew up from the commoners, and accidentally made a little money, why should he bully himself as a nobleman in turn?
"The country is in trouble, and the Cangguo wants to take action against my reckless country, how can the prime minister deal with himself?"
In the hall, Emperor Mang sighed and asked Prime Minister Wu Yong.
This Wu Yong's identity is not ordinary, he is the royal family of Wu State, after Wu State was destroyed, Chu State and Mang State shared their land, but the way the two countries treated the Wu State royal family is different, everything that fell into the hands of Chu State is to imitate some of the punishments of Cang State, cutting meat and the like, extremely cruel, Mang State is the opposite, and it is considered to be kind to the Wu State royal family, so this Wu Yong is facing reality on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also to take revenge on Chu State, so he is desperate for Mangguo, and through years of struggle, he finally became the prime minister of Mangguo.
Like Emperor Mang, he also hated Cangguo, after all, it was Cangguo who first attacked Wu State, which made Wu State enemies on all sides and was finally destroyed.
"Your Majesty, determined to fight the sky?!"
"I have been reckless for hundreds of years, and countless martyrs have worked hard to become strong, which is why we have today's momentum, at least when the martyrs die, when they die on the battlefield."
"Minister! Swear to follow Your Majesty! ”
"Then we will prepare ourselves for war, and sooner or later there will be a war."
"Obey the king!"
That night, before the Emperor Mang could convene his ministers to discuss, the scout general's urgent military report flew to his desk.
The Guiyi army of Cangguo had conquered Kangcheng, the Emperor Kang was captured and escorted to Cangguo, and the Jin army under Qin Kan had repeatedly attacked and harassed the civilians, and had been spurned by the people, and all of them had retreated into the rugged mountains of northern Kangguo.
Emperor Mangguo looked at the military report and sighed in his heart, I am afraid that the Qin Kan army will also be destroyed, and the hope of the Three Kingdoms Alliance to block the Cang army will be even smaller.
Emperor Mangguo boarded the dragon chariot, rushed to the mansion of Prime Minister Wu Yong, and personally handed over the talisman and military newspaper to Wu Yong's hands.
Emperor Mang only said one sentence: "In the coming war, I will lead the army as the vanguard and the emperor for the country." ”
Wu Yong did not speak, and bowed deeply to the Emperor of Mangguo.
The next day, another letter came.
The Three Kingdoms Coalition Army and the Cang Army fought in Juye, bleeding and drifting, ambushing millions of corpses, and the coalition army was defeated and withdrew from Juye.
On the same day, it was rumored that the Qinglong Army had increased its troops by 50,000, broke through the frontier fortress, and went all the way to Mangcheng.
And Mangcheng, the geographical location is not far from the border!
The three pieces of news arrived together, like a boulder thrown into the pool, and the world of Mangcheng was overturned.
The ministers were furious, and they broke into the palace with their private soldiers, forcing the emperor to order the whole country to surrender to Cangguo.
Under a torch, the Emperor of Mangguo stood on the stone steps under the corridor, categorically rejecting the coercion of the patriarchs.
The emperor of Mangguo was full of anger and said: "For more than 100 years, Mangguo has expanded from east to west, and its national strength has developed so far, and it has always stood in the world with a strong and powerful way!" And Cangguo is a country of tigers and wolves, forced by military strength, our surrender is to betray the ancestral foundation, a cowardly move, even if my reckless country is weak, how can I be willing to be humiliated? ”
It was these few words that made the private soldiers of the nobles of the family all silent, and cast a somewhat respectful gaze at the emperor who had never been a stranger.
This peculiar scene naturally aroused the anger of the patriarchs of those families.
Originally, this time it sounded good to bring private soldiers into the palace, but in fact, it was to force the palace, take the initiative to surrender to the Cangguo, keep the existing glory and wealth, don't wait for the time to be liquidated, where can you take care of any shame and face?
In everyone's opinion, profit is eternal.
Willing to be humiliated?
Children are the only ones who talk about right and wrong, and what bullshit honor!
Life matters, family members matter!
For a time, the ministers of the clan shouted and scolded the private soldiers.
After all, the private soldiers and the children of the clan still attacked the Emperor of Mangguo.
The two sides fought together, and blood was splattered everywhere in front of the palace steps.
At this time, Wu Yong led a team of horses to arrive, killed the disciples of the clan who were violently attacking, and arrested all the rebel elders on the spot.
According to the tradition of the Zhao State, anyone who participated in the palace change was a capital crime, and the mastermind and key members were wiped out.
However, Emperor Mang made an exception on the spot and ordered: "This palace change, the matter is extraordinary, and the mastermind will be executed immediately!" The rest of the people involved in the incident and their families and clansmen, as long as they are willing to fight to the death against Cangguo, will not be investigated! ”
As soon as Emperor Mangguo's words fell, the rebellious private soldiers shouted "fight to the death", and all went to Wu Yong's command.
"Clean up the city and follow me to the border!"
As soon as the emperor of Mangguo shouted the order, the blood in Mangcheng was flowing overnight.
Dozens of veteran ministers were all killed, hundreds of sons and daughters of the elders were killed, countless wives and concubines who did not know what the government affairs were, but only knew that their husbands and kings were looking forward to their careers, and countless infants, children, young women, and children were either cut down and eradicated in the chaos, or they were displaced and did not know what to do......
It was a bloody storm.
Five days later, Emperor Mang personally ordered a large-scale recruitment of people and moved eastward to conquer their relatives.
Under the coercion of the imperial power, the men, women, and children who did not die in the chaos all picked up spears and swords and lined up into an army, and all the grain, goods, cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, wine, food, and clothing were collected and piled up into hills in the city gates, allowing people to eat and drink to their heart's content.
In the early morning of the sixth day, Wu Yong received an order from the emperor to clean up all the number of soldiers, and each name was engraved on the masonry of the city wall outside the city gate.
After some preparations, the emperor of Mangguo set up an altar under the city wall, and reported the situation of Mangguo to the sky, to the earth, and to the ancestors, and prayed for the blessing of heaven and ancestors.
In the end, the emperor of Mangguo strode to a bluestone strip under the city gate, took out a scimitar and cut off the four fingers of his left hand, and wrote five big characters in thick and bright red on the bluestone strip with a plate brush - destroy the green dragon and protect the country!
