Chapter 143: The Dust Has Settled

"You mean ......"

"Father Emperor Mingjian, although Cangguo and Shen Guo are married and formed, they are not monolithic, Shen Guo is unwilling to be manipulated by Cangguo, and he is afraid of being swallowed up by one of the two of us, so he has been seizing the time to recruit new soldiers for the past half a month, and his sons have taken advantage of it a little, and Shen Guo has really been fooled."

"Shen Guo has already sent troops?" Emperor Zheng was overjoyed when he heard this, but immediately the joy between his eyebrows receded, and he said, "Even with the help of Shen Guo, our main army has been destroyed, so what's the use of fleeing to the west?" ”

"Negotiate peace." Zheng Han said.

"Peace?" Zheng Yufan frowned and said, "We are talking about peace now, is it too late?" ”

"Cangguo treats the third brother as a puppet, just to have a righteous name, but the puppet is a puppet after all, just a means of self-deception, what the third brother can do, we can too, if we occupy a corner of the western border, and then submit the credentials to Cangguo, promise to give the rest of the city to Cangguo, I believe that at that time, it will be more effective than the puppet emperor of the third brother, and the emperor of Cangguo will inevitably be tempted."

"Is it reliable?"

"Erchen has recruited 10,000 peasant soldiers in the fiefdom, plus the remaining remnants of the defeated generals, it is not a problem to make up 20,000 people, and with the help of Shen Guo, it should not be difficult to gain a firm foothold, but ...... It's just that from now on, Zheng Guo will only have a corner of land......"

A Corner of the Corner......

That's it!

Zheng Yufan sighed, a corner of Zheng Han's mouth is relative to the entire Zheng Kingdom, in fact, there are four or five cities, if you can really successfully negotiate peace, it will not be a problem to steal peace.

However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and just as he got out of bed and was about to withdraw from the palace, a group of nobles from the family broke in with soldiers.

"What are you doing here?" Zheng Yufan pretended to be confused, pointed to one of them, and said: "Gongsun Qi, your Gongsun family is the largest family in my Dazheng, and it has been a relative of the emperor for generations. ”

"Your Majesty has said it." The head of the Gongsun family stroked his beard and said indifferently: "My Gongsun family is the founder of the country, and it is also deserving of this honor, not from your Zheng family. ”

"Qingjun's side? Could it be me? On the side, Zheng Han sneered and said: "It is worthy of being an old fox who is crawling and rolling in the court, seeing that the wind makes the rudder faster than anyone else, aren't you afraid that the new master will not be at ease when the time comes?" ”

The head of the Gongsun family glanced at it: "My Zheng Guo's catastrophe today is all caused by you alone, if there is no attack on Shen, there will not be a day when the soldiers are in the city today, His Royal Highness has too much heart, my Zheng Guo's national strength is not good, and it can't be accommodated, so I specially came to advise Your Majesty to put the national clan first, and set up the three princes as the crown princes, and then negotiate peace with the Cangguo." ”

"Hehe, negotiate peace, can't this prince be, I have to be shameless and weak people like Zheng Kang." Zheng Han was disdainful.

"I can't." The head of the Gongsun family is right, and said: "Your Highness is right, you are too sharp, you have offended the emperor of Cangguo, and only His Royal Highness the Third Prince has this qualification at the moment." ”

"Bold!" Zheng Han glared angrily: "Where are the guards!" Capture them! ”

“……”

The atmosphere was dull for a short time, and there was no tension as imagined, and after Zheng Han shouted, there was no movement outside the door.

"Second Highness, don't bother thinking about it anymore, you and our people will enter the palace, will you have no support." The head of the Gongsun family looked at him with disdain and said, "The private soldiers of our major families are not vegetarians, and it is more than enough to confront your Praetorian Guards. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Han and Zheng Yufan's faces changed greatly, the Praetorian Guard was their last reliance in this palace, if there was no cover of the Praetorian Guard, how could they escape from the city?

Zheng Han sighed, and turned to say in a consultative tone: "If you let you leave, when he returns to the country one day, you will still be meritorious nobles, how about it?" ”

"The country has not been destroyed, how can we talk about recovering the country? This Zheng Guo is not your Zheng Guo alone, the three princes will take care of it, don't worry. ”

"You!" Zheng Han was extremely angry, but before he could react, several big men rushed in outside and held him down.

Soon, the sound of fighting came from the dormitory, and it quickly subsided.

……

On the evening of October 12, the Cang army won a great victory.

When Wei Zhongquan was preparing siege equipment and wanted to storm Zhengcheng, the children of the major families led their private soldiers to kill the city tower, captured Chen Shou's lieutenant general, opened the city gate, tied up Zheng Huang, Zheng Yufan, Zheng Han and the queen's concubines, escorted them at the city gate, and welcomed the Cang army into the city.

That night, the entire Zhengcheng experienced a sleepless night.

After some rest, the Cangjun sang "Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions" into the city and stationed in various places.

The common people put up lanterns to celebrate the king's entry into the city, although the family gate valve was a little apprehensive, but in order to express loyalty, it also showed a jubilant appearance, only in the palace, a solemn and dull, except for the eunuch and the palace maid and a subordinate people, all were imprisoned.

In the middle of the night, a team of fast horses came to report, the Shen army used the excuse of asking for help, lured the White Tiger Army out of the mountain to help, but unexpectedly fell into the ambush of the Shen army, suffered heavy casualties, and the general Sima Hong was hit by an arrow, unconscious, and urgently needed to be rescued.

Upon learning of this news, Wei Zhongquan interrogated Zheng Han overnight, and after learning the ins and outs of the matter, he was immediately furious and sent the Xuanwu Legion, which had relatively small casualties, to rush to the rescue overnight.

At the same time, a rebel army was dispatched to make a detour from the side of the Bandit Mountains and enter the territory of the Shen State.

In the early morning of the next day, the third prince of Zheng Guo arrived in the imperial city in a chariot and announced that the emperor Zheng Yufan had been placed under house arrest by the second prince and had died three days earlier.

After that, Zheng Kang was surrounded by the ministers, officially took over the national seal, ascended to the emperor's throne, and issued an edict at the same time, in order to show the grace of the Cangguo to assist in quelling the rebellion, he officially called the Cangguo a tribute, respected the emperor of the Cangguo as his father and brother, and implored the Cang army to be stationed in the Zheng State to prevent Zheng Han's remnants from causing chaos.

In the afternoon, the Cangguo delegation headed by Kong Shangxian entered the palace, officially signed an alliance with Zheng Guo, and at the same time read out the edict of the Cangguo Emperor, sent fifteen rebel armies, took over the defense of each city, and made every effort to search for the remnants of the defeated generals who fled to various places.

At this point, the entire territory of Zheng Guo was controlled by the Cang army.

On October 14, the Xuanwu Army arrived at Anluo City, galloped to the aid of the White Tiger Army, and killed the Shen army to abandon their armor and flee in defeat.

It was also on this day that Shen Guo completely understood that he had been calculated by Zheng Han and made what a stupid decision.

As things progressed in an orderly manner, everyone also began to speculate about when His Majesty the Emperor of Cangguo would arrive in the Imperial City of Zheng State. ()
